"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 22, 1991 - 23 Tickets available for beef supper Mr. and Mrs. J. Beacock of Lindsay visited with Les and Grace Beacock, and also with Miss O. Beacock in the Villa. The beautiful arrangement of flowers in church on Sun- day were placed there by the family of Rob Burnett who passed away last week. Happy Birthday to Dana McMillan who will be another year older next week. Dana will be going into the hospital soon to have her jaw fixed. She is so active in sports that her mother is looking for a hockey helmet to protect Dana's face when she plays volleyball. Lloyd and Beth Pereman, Beth's sister Ann and her hus- band Jim, Terry and Eileen Hodgson took off Saturday night to see the Phantom. They had a super time but what a surprise Andrew had waiting for them at home. All of Prince Albert is glad that nobody was hurt in Andrew's accident. I have always thought that this town could use another Lloyd. We don't want anything to happen to Andrew because many of us feel he is just like his dad. This town needs Andrew. What would the Three Musk- ateers be without him? I hope the Couples Club had a good time bowling Sat- urday night. John and 1 missed it. We were at my cou- sin's wedding in Beaverton. Sunday morning, Prince Al- bert United Church honored a group of their active long-time members. Helen Jewell, Myr- tle Snelgrove, Grace Cherrie and Helen and Bill Wozney were guests of honor at a luncheon. We tend to forget what great contributions these people make to our church. coOLDWELL BANKER QO They are so quiet, nobody blows their own horns. We are very proud to know such great people. Thanks to Dorothy Hope and oh ... um ... well ... oh ... yes ... Sarah Elliott for reminding us. Beef Supper is next week- end. If you need a ticket, call Linda McMillan. The settings are 5 pm. and 6:30 p.m. Adults are $9, 12 and under are $4. I'm sure you will get lots to eat. Come out and enjoy good wholesome food. On Sunday we were enter- tained again by Sean Lucus. He tried to vacuum up the church. Grandpa was there to help him. We will be sad to see him return to Australia. On Sunday, several small fry were out. It makes the whole day seem brighter to see all the young people out. Let's hope they will be there next Sunday to help rake leaves. No baby Marlow will not be expected to do her share, Kyle will be there to do her part. Winter must be near. John Bredin took his son Robbie to the snowmobile show on Sat- urday. Robbie wouldn't let his dad buy a new machine be- cause he was given a beauty by Keith Elliot. Rob's sure they can get it going.

While on her lunch break 13 years ago, Ms. Haslett- Scholfield saw a sign in a store window advertising weaving lessons. She inquired, and much to her surprise, a man taught her the techniques of weaving. Ms. Haslett-Scholfield en- joyed weaving so much she hasn't stopped since. "If I don't go to the loom for even half an hour a day, I just don't feel right," she told the Star. "It's part of me." She started out with a table loom -- something she doesn't recommend for other first-time weavers because the hands have to do all the work. She soon changed to a floor loom which incorporates both hand and foot action. Weaving is not as complex as it looks, Ms. Haslett-Scholfield said. Itjust takes patience. "Anyone can weave. It's just the patience of learning how to set up the loom. If anything, you learn patience." An exhibit of Ms. Haslett- Scholfield's work is on display at the Scugog Memorial Public Library. Working with natural fibres such as mohair, wool, cotton, linen, and silk, she has put to- gether a beautiful selection of scarves, runners, pillows, shawls, blankets, and place- mats. The exhibit, entitled Color and Tradition, marks the be- ginning of her study into color and the effect it has on overshot weaving. "I tend to be a technical weav- er due to my training and look Susan Haslett-Scholfield is the feature artist at the library. She opened her exhibition of weaving on Saturday. She had a beautiful selection of woven placemats, pillows, teddy bears and throw blankets. The exhibit is open until Nov. 8. porating the technical with the experimental," she said. Ms. Haslett-Scholfield be- tions including the Scugog Fi- bre Artists. The exhibit continues until fo this study as a way of incor- longs to many weaving associa- Nov. 8.
