The book is in! by Joanne Courneya Tweed’s Centennial book has ridden a roller coaster of ups and downs, of now-it’sâ€"here and nowâ€" it’sâ€"not over the past four months. But the wait is finally over. Publisher Marvin Foy personal- ly delivered about 1,000 copies of Tweed: A Centennial Mosaic to the village clerk’s office at 1 pm. Wednesday, January 30. Within minutes of its arrival, people were coming in with cash and gift cerâ€" tificates, eager to finally be able to read the book they reserved long before Christmas. The hardâ€"bound book is a gem in itself. The cover is garnet in colour, with the title and Tweed village crest stamped in gold leaf. The quality of reproduction is ex- cellent as well, with crisp, bright photographs and clear easy-toâ€" read type. But the real quality of this publication is the content, of which author Evan Morton should be commended, and justly proud. The book opens in the first secâ€" tion (Speaking of "our Past) with excerpts from the Tweedsmuir Histories, as compiled by the late Margaret (Peg) Foster. It then progresses to outline the many different churches in the comâ€" munity. Of special interest is the research done into recording the different schools in the communia ty â€" public, separate and the Tweed High School. Anyone who has belonged to a club, society or organization in Tweed should find their club mentioned under the section deal- ing with the background of these groups and institutions. These run the gamut, from the Tweed volunteer fire department to the public library, Tweed Legion and many more. The second section (Our Past Speaks to Us) features a walk down memory lane. it is filled with old photographs and newspaper clippings from days gone by, many gleaned from back issues of the Tweed News and the former Tweed Advocate. A uni- que feature of this section are photos and advertisements of Tweed businesses from about 100 years ago, with a business card from the present merchant posiâ€" tioned below. The book wraps up with an in- terview with Tweed’s Centenarian Louis Rashotte. Mr. Rashotte has some special memories of the village he spent his life in, and will celebrate his 100th birthday February 28. The Centennial book is available for purchase at the Tweed municipal office, Colâ€" borne Street, for $19.95.
