She was the only one left to rake the one-acre yard around the familys home near the Georgian Bay village of Penetanguishene. It was a tedious task, and she'd mutter 10 herseif as she raked a way and her hands started to blister. One day, while clearing pine cones and debris from the big lawn, she visuaiized a rake on wheeis, like those on a training bicycle. She mentioned the idea to h er husband, AI, who operates a welding business in a shop behind the house. AI just laughed. So did her kids when they heard about il. That didnt phase Stella one bit. She kept after AI and finaliy persuaded him to use his expertise 10 heip her figure out some alternative to the ordinary rake. They worked on the idea, and eventuaily came up with a prototype. AI mounted wheels on a labor-saving rake and added a comb s0 that the teeth would catch debris, then raise up when pushed ahead. You didn't have to lift the rake at ail. Along with that, it had a sponge-covered handie, and a lIoop on the end so you could hang it Up. They made up a few rakes and gave them 10 friends to use. The response was so positive they made some more and distributed them to area hardware stores at a suggested retail price of $39.00. Then they got bigger ideas. They began the iengthy process of applying for a patent. Stella got some direction from the Women's Inventions Associationand did a patent search in Europe and the United States. Meanwhiie, theyve turned out about a thousand rakes for nearby markets, and have big plans for the future of their product which they cali the Lawn Start Rake. AI spends most of his spare lime assembling the rakes, and hes not laughing at Stellas idea anymore. ,Neither are the kids. Perry and Alex Hamilton of Priceville.
