I n our August issue I announced that “I would only be willing to

stay on as editor of the Paisley Advocate until the end of the year.”

Since then I have had a lot of people express concern that this would be the end of the Advocate. Many mentioned how grateful they were for the years I have put in as a volunteer with the paper.

I certainly appreciate the concern and compliments I have received. Just as importantly, I have received offers of help.

Joanna Pengelly has now taken over the distribution of the paper. She will be receiving the papers from the printers, dealing with the Post Office for mailed�out distribution and dropping off copies at businesses around town.

My son Charlie is now handling the final layout of the paper. I give him the completed articles and the finished advertisements from Jennifer Harris, and he puts it all together like a jigsaw puzzle.

With these jobs off my plate, I have decided to stay on for a while longer as editor. (Besides, ��,��&��-��"�)�)"!)

Last time, I thanked Diane Eaton for all the articles she has written over the years. I should also thank those who submit articles for various clubs

and organizations around Paisley. Gail Fullerton always keeps us abreast of the Ag. Societies activities, including her thorough report on the fair itself (see the two centre pages of this issue); Becky Maus has been filling us in on events at Paisley Central School and the Skating Club; Marguerite Caldwell and Judy McKinnon keep us up to date on the Treasure Chest Museum; and the list goes on � Mary MacKay, Jerrold Beec h, Sue Par ker , Me lis sa Kanmacher, Sandra Blodgett and many more.

As a volunteer�run paper, we don’t have “reporters,” as such, and it is these people who really ��*� our community paper.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted articles in the past. If your group has something to contribute to the paper, or if you would like to give writing a crack, please send in an article. It doesn’t have to be perfect; we’ll do our best to make it look good. Which reminds me, thanks also to Jennifer Speckhard who takes on the daunting task of proofreading most of the articles for the paper (some articles, or should I say authors, are more daunting that others).

So, until further notice, the Paisley Advocate goes on and I will continue to fill the role as Grumpy Old Editor.

Y ou likely know that October is breast cancer awareness month.

You may be aware that of all the money spent on pink merchandise, only a small portion actually goes toward breast cancer research.

It is likely that of the thousands of women and men diagnosed with breast cancer, you know at least one person who is affected directly.

What you may not be aware of is that despite the years of awareness, there is still NO CURE for breast cancer. Although a large number of patients do go on to live cancer�free, the reality is that not all breast cancers fit the "pretty in pink" movement.

Twenty to thirty percent of those diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will advance to stage IV or metastatic breast cancer (MBC); six to ten percent are diagnosed at stage IV from their original diagnosis.

Metastatic breast cancer is when the cancer spreads to another organ in the body, most often the lungs, liver, brain and bones.

Awareness and discussion of advanced or metastatic breast cancer is slowly coming to the forefront, but it can still be likened to the elephant in the room. And there is nothing pretty or pink about this elephant.

Conversations regarding breast cancer tend to focus on the lighter side of breast cancer. Unfortunately there is a darker side that is seldom discussed due to its ugliness.

Although there has been a number of new treatments discovered in the past few years, those living with metastatic breast cancer know that their lives have been shortened dramatically. 100% of breast cancer deaths are a result of metastatic breast cancer.

There needs to be more money dedicated to researching the how and why of metastatic breast cancer.

I invite you to join me in learning more about MBC and in helping to ensure more funding is directed to the proper channels in order for the research to continue. Let's help to support the funding of treatment to extend the lives of the thousands of women and men living w ith metastatic breast cancer.

"Dancing with Elephants" is a fundraiser in support of advanced breast cancer research and will be held on October 19, 2013 at the Paisley Legion. Come mix, mingle and enjoy the sounds of some of our local musicians. There will be a silent auction and a 50/50 draw. There will also be a cooperative progressive painting which anyone can participate in creating and will be auctioned off at the end of the evening. Doors open at 6PM.

ALL proceeds will be donated to METavivor, an all�volunteer, non�profit organization dedicated to the research of metastatic breast cancer. (www.metavivor.org)

M any thanks to all the students who participated in the

Farmers Market competition at the Paisley Fall Fair.

Entries came from Julia Trelford, Dobbinton, Moira Robertson, Paisley, Wesley Horton, Paisley, Kaitlyn Folmer, Paisley and Billy Dietrich, Paisley. First place went to Kaitlyn, Second to Wesley and Third to Billy.

T h e be a u t i f u l scarecrows were brought back to be displayed at the farmers market. In the very first hour , Catherine Hopkins decided she wanted to take Boo (Wesley's scarecrow) home to Port Elgin. She made a donation to the Paisley Farmers Market and he went to a new home.

We a bs olut e ly love the scarecrows made for our market, and this turn of events has given us a new idea. We would like to have even more scarecrows and fall items made to be auctioned off at the Grand Feast Finale that has traditionally taken place on Thanksgiving Weekend. This

will be the first year for the auction and everyone is invited to donate a scarecrow, fall craft or bit of baking. We will give community hours to every high school student who donates a scarecrow, or other item.

Every business who donates will get a little commercial that they prepare themselves The auction will begin at 10 am.

The proceeds will go right back into our community. The

Grand Feast, featuring food from our vendors

will begin at 11 am. Before that, you can get locally grown eggs and bacon and toast with jam for breakfast. The lunch tickets will be $12 per adult and $5 per child under 12. We are bringing food for 70 people, so please plan on joining us

as we celebrate the bountiful harvest that comes from the Paisley area. Please watch the board at the market for the developing menu.

Thanks for all your support this year. It means everything to know the whole community is behind this.

W ow, Paisley. Thanks for the support at Pub Night on

D oug Lennox welcomed members and guests gathered in the

Walkerton Library for the September meeting of the Bruce County G e n e a l o g i c a l S o c i e t y . Reports indicated that photos of the gravestones in the Saugeen Indian Village have been taken and the typing of the transcriptions is in progress. The Archives has recently acquired a collection from the family of the late Hilda Downey and also some items pertaining to the Krug collection. The work of the clipping volunteers is on going.

Joe O’Hagan introduced Joe Richenbach, a retired lawyer who was born in Walkerton and is an avid fisherman and hunter. Following his call to the bar, he practiced law in Walkerton for thirty�five years. Over the years he has collected many old documents pertaining to the history of Bruce County.

One of the earliest documents was a Land Patent granted by the Province of Canada in 1852. Land Patent documents provide the name of the original purchaser, the purchase price, a description of the land being granted, the date of the patent and any applicable conditions or reservations. Richenbach showed examples of rare

doc u me n t s i nc lu d ing pos t �Confederation land patents, a Deed of Insolvency and a School Deed which was hand written in beautiful, perfect penmanship. A land deed of interest was granted to Henry Cargill and Henry Walker who were partners in the earliest days of the lumber business.

He suggested that rare documents held by families should be taken to a professional framer who would take care to mount them in acid free materials. It was noted that the Archives in the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre houses a large collection of the Bruce County Land Transfer Copy Book which can be viewed on site.

Richenbach continued his talk by reviewing names of pioneer lawyers and their law practices which existed in many towns and villages of Bruce County from the 1800’s to the present.

Refreshments and networking followed the presentation.

The annual pot luck lunch and annual meeting of the society will be held in the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre Monday, November 25 at 12 noon.

S ome very early settlers who came to the Paisley area were the three

McBeath brothers and the three Porter brothers who took up land on Concession 2 and 3, the other side of the Saugeen (east) from where Henry Brown settled. Unlike Orchard and Rowe in Paisley, Hembroff and Lyons at Lockerby, or Galbraith and McPhee at the top of the Hog’s Back, the McBeaths and Porters were not brothers�in�law. They were not even related or from the same area of Ontario. They just happened to arrive at Rowe’s Tavern in Paisley at about the same time and Simon Orchard told them there was good land across the river in Elderslie that had not been claimed yet. The men walked out to inspect it and were well pleased with what they saw. On June 7, 1854 the McBeath br others wa lke d to Southampton to file their claim to “occupy and cultivate”. They claimed 200 acres each on both sides of the Second Concession. On June 12, 1854 the Porters claimed the rest of the lots stretching from the Saugeen River to lot 6 on Sideroad Five, Elderslie . The father of the Porter brothers also claimed 200 acres on Con 4 but because he did not move up for several years he did not keep his first claim. Together the two families claimed nearly 1300 acres.

The three McBeath brothers, Thomas, Andrew and William were born in Caithnesshire Scotland. They were the three youngest of ten children of John McBeath and Barbara Campbell (1791 � April 4, 1888), Their father died in Scotland in 1839 when the boys were aged ten, seven and five.

When the brothers were young men they immigrated to Ontario in 1852 settling first in Scarborough

Township near Agincourt in York County. Their mother, Barbara, and twin sisters, Mary and Margaret immigrated with them. We know some of their older siblings had immigrated earlier because a brother, George, died in Againcourt in 1850, age 24 and another brother, John Campbell McBeath, died in 1856. He was only 35.

The Porter Family immigrated from Hutton, Berwickshire, Scotland in about 1841 and settled in Douro Township, Peterborough County. David Porter was married twice. His second wife was seventeen years younger than him and about the same age as the children from his first marriage. David’s sons from the first family, Thomas Porter, age 36 and John, age 21, were anxious to get their own land so they made the trip from Peterborough County to Paisley.

Thomas, Andrew and William McBeath did not have land of their own in York County but were working for other farmers, so when they heard of land opening up in the Queen’s Bush, they too made the trip to Paisley. After filing their claims with Alexander McNabb, Commissioner for Crown Lands, they returned to Toronto and obtained employment until the next September when they again returned to Elderslie and proceeded to build a log house on lot 3 Con 3 which was registered to the oldest brother, Thomas McBeath. They began to clear land and plant a few crops.

Both families are recorded on the very first Elderslie Assessment Roll (1856)

It was probably a year or so before any of these men remained year�round in their log cabins in the bush because none of them were married at the time they made their claim. However, Ann Porter came to Elderslie with her brothers to keep house for them until 1859 when she married Samuel Gribble and took over lot 7 Con 2. Margaret McBeath kept house for her brothers until 1860 when she married Francis Watt and farmed on Con 8 lot 27 Elderslie.

Meanwhile, none of these young men wasted any time choosing a wife and getting settled. Perhaps they previously had a girl in mind! Andrew McBeath was the first to make the matrimonial leap. The winter of 1855�56 he worked for a farmer in Chinguacous y Tow nship, Peel County, and them married his daughter in the spring and brought her to his cabin in the bush.

Andrew’s br other Thomas returned to Scotland the winter of 1856�57 to claim his bride in Thurso, Caithnesshire. Their honeymoon was a trip across the ocean, embarking at Liverpool and landing at Quebec City. Then by train to Collingwood, from Collingwood to Owen Sound by boat, and then by oxen to Burgoyne. The final twelve miles was on foot.

William McBeath wasn’t married until December 1860 when he married the daughter of a pioneer settler on Concession 4 , Donald McIntyre.

The oldest Porter brother,

Thomas, was also married in 1857 to Elizabeth. We don’t know her last name but she was probably someone he knew in Peterborough County.

John Porter was married in June 1860 to Mary Schoffield , the daughter of a pioneer family who had settled at Dunblane. Mary’s father was drowned in 1858 in the flooded waters of Snake Creek within sight of his log house.

The third Porter brother, William, was from the second family and much younger than his half�brothers. He came to Elderslie with his parents and his younger brother and three sisters some time after the 1861 census and was not married until 1873.

The McBeath and Porter Families prospered and produced. Descendants remained on the original farms for two and in some cases three generations but no one by that name owns the land today. The three McBeath men had a total of 27 children and David Porter’s sons had 18 children.

Several members of the McBeath family lived to a remarkable age for pioneer days.

The pioneer mother, Barbara McBeath lived to be 97, Quite a feat for a woman who was left with a young family, immigrated to Canada with her grown family and came to the bush country of E lders lie to experience the toils and hardships of clearing the land and making a home.

Thomas McBeath was Paisley’s oldest citizen when he passed away on September 8. 1932 at the advanced age of 103 years 5 months. He was buried in the suit he had been married in 75 years before. His wife, Isabella Jack, predeceased him by 58 years, as well as one son and a daughter. However his oldest son, John J McBeath lived to be 92, while his sons James, Thomas Jr. lived to be 83 and 93 respectively. His daughters Georgina, lived to be 89, Isabella 74, Mary 70, and Kate 83.

T he 2013/2014 school year has begun, and things have never

been busier or more fun at Paisley Central!

The first few weeks of school have gone well, with 131 students fitting into their classrooms and routines nicely. Paisley Central School is very fortunate to have the amazing leadership of Principal Martha Barrett supported by an excellent team of teachers committed to making each day enjoyable and educational for the students.

A barbeque was hosted on September 18th at which time many families enjoyed meeting the staff and visiting the classrooms.

There is a lot happening already at Paisley Central. The soccer teams are practicing for tournaments in early October. The cross country runners are preparing for the upcoming competitions at Saugeen Bluffs. The very first “spirit day” of the school

year was a success with many students participating in Wacky Hat day. Mrs. Burridge’s Grade 3/4 classes enjoyed a field trip to the Grey Bruce Children’s Water Festival in Chesley.

The Breakfast Program is alive and well again this year, as all students are enjoying a healthy start to their day compliments of the many volunteers who provide a fresh fruit and veggie breakfast tray to each classroom every morning.

Paisley Central School holds information meetings on the first Wednesday of almost every month during the school year.

Andrew McBeath and his wife Margaret McDonald both died in 1911, six months apart. Andrew was 80 years, 4 months and Margaret 78 years 9 months. Their oldest son, John George, lived to be 90 and Lizzie, their oldest daughter, 93. Their second son, David remained on the farm and was very active in public affairs. He was on Elderslie council and served as reeve and county commissioner. He died one day before his 93rd birthday. Another daughter, Barbara, Mrs George Robb, died age 72. Minnie, Mrs. Daniel McIntyre, lived to be 90 and Margaret, Mrs. William Barnfather lived to be 93 years, 4 months. Another son, Donald, died in Philemon, Saskatchewan, age 66. Their youngest son, James Andrew, died of tuberculosis when he was 24.

William McBeath lived all but the last year of his life on lot 4, Concession 2 Elderslie. Although he was the youngest, he died before either of his brothers on March 31, 1910. His wife, Elizabeth McIntyre, outlived him by ten years. Their family were not blessed with long years. Only three of nine outlived their

parents. William and Elizabeth lost their first baby age 6 months. Ten years later, their 8th child, Elizabeth, died of pneumonia at six months. Consumption the dreaded disease that took the lives of so many young people in the early pioneer days, claimed the lives of four of their children, Daniel in 1891, age 25, Barbara in 1895, age 29, George in 1905 age 29, Isabella in 1908, age 38. William J. died the year after his father, age 44. However their youngest child Bessey, Mrs. William Dryden lived to be 90 and her son Norman Dryden lived to be 93.

Several of the pioneer Porter family also lived to a remarkable age. Thomas lived most of his years on lot 6 Con 2, the lot he first claimed. He died in Paisley on April 30, 1913, age 91. Although he and Elizabeth had six children only one outlived him. Margaret Ann, Mrs. David Eason lived to be 81.

John Porter sold his lot 6 Con 3 to Andrew McBeath in 1878 and moved to Keppel Township, John died at the home of his son Wes Porter in Greenock Township in 1917 age 84. His son Wesley lived to be 83.

If you look at a map of Elderslie you will see that as the Saugeen River meanders from where it crosses the Townline Elderslie and Brant, it cuts lots 5, 4 and 3 in half, leaving approximately only 30 acres of each farm fronting on the Townline. As it reaches the farms belonging to Con 2 it dissects lot 3 from south to north. This could have been a problem to the early settlers if they had tried to cultivate each lot as surveyed. However they adopted a more sensible plan and let the river form the boundary. So although lot 3 Con 2 was originally claimed by William

Porter, the west half was soon taken over by Henry Brown who owned lots 1 and 2 and when David Porter moved to Elderslie he took over the east half of lot 3 as well as the 70 acres of each of lots 5, 4 and 3 which was on the north side of the river. This gave him about 268 acres all adjoining.

David Porter did not live very long after moving to Elderslie. He died August 29, 1875 age 74. His youngest son Peter took over his father’s land and made a home for his mother until her death in 1887. Peter Porter married Jessie Gordon Bacon in 1891. Peter was 45 and Jessie was 30. Their home was on the east half of lot 3 Con 2.

Today one hundred and thirty� seven acres of Porter farmland has been taken over by Saugeen Valley and designated as a park. It has 1½ miles of river frontage and has great possibilities of future development for the growing canoe traffic on the Saugeen. In choosing a name for the park both Porter and McBeath Park were considered to honour these early pioneer settlers. McBeath was chosen since elsewhere in Ontario there already was a park called Porter Park.

W e recently ventured north to the Bruce Peninsula for a few days

of getaway. It proved to be an interesting weekend.

First stop was for breakfast in Lions Head. It is a small restaurant that reminded me of the old Paisley Dairy Bar (where the Laundromat is now). It had a U�shaped counter that had about a dozen rotating stools. There are always volumes of information that are exchanged here daily. I try and contribute when I can.

There was an older man leading the conversation that I thought I should know. After he left I enquired as to who the gentleman might be. The response was immediate and all chuckled.

“He’s no gentleman,” was the first response. “He’s a retired police man and he’s eighty�two.”

“Actually he has been retired longer that he was on the police force,” was the next comment from one of the locals. It got better.

It was the next comment that got me. “Actually his health has not been all that great. He’s had all sorts of surgery. Some parts have been removed and some have been replaced.”

The chap beside him piped up and took his turn,” Yes, the only parts left on his body that are original are his eyes and arshole.”

The laughter turned towards me as I wiped up the spilt coffee that I had brought up through my nose. I had never heard that saying before.

We continued on to our cabin at Britain Lake. Our neighbour had seven daughters and three of them were there doing their spring cleaning thing. That evening we had a social hour. Stories were told. Most had to do with toilet

seats. Being raised in a house of seven females it was customary to leave the toilet seat down. Every once in a while a male intruder would leave the seat up. So if you were in a hurry and didn’t look, you dropped into the wet zone . It c ould pr ove mos t embarrassing.

It was especially bad at night. Their cat drank his water from the toilet bowl, too. One night one of the girls, Bessie, was in a hurry to use the facilities. It was pitch black but she knew her way around the place in dark. So did their pet cat Festus. In order to get a drink Festus would have all four legs on the toilet’s edge. He would then stretch his head down into the bowl and lap up the water. Festus didn’t hear her coming. When he did it was too late. Poor Festus was sat on and forced into the cold water of the bowl. It took a second for Bessie to realize that she was sitting on

something warm and furry. This was not normal. She screamed and jumped off the furry seat but not before she had made a mess.

The cat was not impressed either and made his disapproval known by making a blood�curdling scream. It was a catastrophic event. Instant reflex made Festus scratch and claw his way out of the drink. Poor Bessie’s rear end would be scarred for life.

Everyone came running to see what the crisis was. The doctors in the hospital had a hard time believing the story, too. Sixty�three stitches later Bessie was released from hospital but not before the police had made out a personal injury report.

The cat had a grin on his face and if he could have talked, I think he would have said something like, “Don’t you think you should have forgotten about that other operation and had my claws removed instead?”

W e were so lucky! A very heavy rain on Saturday morning

likely deterred some exhibitors from gathering produce, flowers and crops from the fields, but by noon we carried on with set up. Thanks to wonderfully persistent volunteers, all was ready to go by 6pm on Saturday night. Sunday was a beautiful day full of sunshine and a nice brisk wind to keep the flies off the horses.

We are very pleased to announce that Claire Gregg is the 2013 Paisley Fair Ambassador. She gave a great speech on what owning a horse has taught her and was congratulated by the other contestants and friends, Kassandra Henschel, Deanna Tanner and Althea Rimmer. Claire showed her horse at the fair in the morning and spent the rest of the day mingling with fair visitors, pinning on ribbons, and circulating the grounds.

The opening ceremonies on Saturday night were entertaining as usual. Mark Davis, along with MPP Bill Walker, hosted a great live auction which raised $1,335.00 on 15 items. This money goes to help pay

the homecraft prizes. President John Thornburn officially opened the fair this year, as our invited guest was unable to make it due to a family issue at the last minute.

On Sunday the Ministerial Association had a full tent for their community church service at 10am. All money collected was split and donated to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Paisley Food Bank. The Ministerial Association then had a rest tent set up for the remainder of the day for people to sit and chat out of the sun. Wonderful music played the rest of the day in the entertainment tent provided by The Leask Bros. Band and Bob Rob.

The Palace was once again overflowing with exceptional exhibits by very creative and hard working exhibitors. Stu Dudgeon grew the tallest sunflower. Top field crop exhibitor was Robert De Brabandere. A udre y Tre lf or d s howe d a n impressive collection of five or more vegetables and won out over six others in the class. Harvey Weppler of Port Elgin had the winning collection of fruits. The best brown eggs were shown by Sam Sloan over five others in the class, while Mary Cottrill won for her pickled eggs over seven others. There was an impressive showing of eight bottles of maple syrup and the winner was Jake Sloan. Eileen Simpson had the best honey for our “Busy as Bees” theme for 2013.

Barb Fullerton won most points in potted plants while Marie Meuser of Burgoyne won top points in cut flowers and arrangements. Berni MacKinnon won for high overall points in flowers as hers were very freshly picked!

In baking, Mary Cottrill was once again champion baker, however she needs to watch out for Emily Kranenburg, who was the top baker in

the under�40�years�old division. Kim Holmes made the best pecan pie which was donated to the live auction and raised $190.00 courtesy of Tammi Ribey. There were six beautifully decorated cakes in the theme of bees and the first prize ribbon went to Emily Kranenburg.

There were nine jars of freezer strawberry jam and Alan Grant is eating some pretty awesome jam as Kim won first prize. The judges choice for best preserves in the fair went to Deb Green.

There were three Women's Institute displays with Gillies Hill getting first, Williscroft second and Jackson winning third. The best sewn article at the fair was won by Cathy Lund and most points in sewing won by Trudy Schwass.

Kay Thompson was brought to tears when she realized she won the Grand Champion quilt for her beautiful stack n' whack fan quilt. The best knitted or crocheted item was awarded to Ruby Pinkerton as well as the most points in crafts. There was a significant increase in the number of artists on canvas this year, as well as a very good showing of woodworking.

In the youth competition the champion baker was Sophie Penner. Champion gardener was Chris Parker and the Lego competitions were won by Grace McGillivray and Nick Veenstra. There were two beautifully decorated garbage cans by Sophie and Moiken Penner.

The beef cattle show was very impressive this year with 43 kids participating in the 4�H Invitational show and a total of 115 head of cattle on the gr oun ds . C ha mpion showperson was Tyler MacPherson of Lucknow. The champion calf was

shown by Katie Falconer of Teeswater with reserved shown by Katelyn Ribey. In the open beef show, the champion market steer was shown by Brady McGillivray, market heifer by Clayton Fitzsimmons. Champions in the British breeds of cattle was Patchell Livestock and in the Exotic breeds was Stan Conquergood.

In the 4�H invitational dairy show there were seventeen participants, with Cole Hollands of Hanover sweeping the competition with the champion heifer and champion showperson.

The horse show ring was busy from 8:30am until 5:00pm with an impressive show of many types of horses this year. In the line classes, Robert Brander of Caledon had the top heavy brood mare, David Carson of Listowel the top heavy foal and Cal Lipsett of Schomberg won junior champion under two years. In the hitch classes the committee added a new ladies two wheeled cart class which was won by Jim MacKay with Debbie Thomas the very accomplished lady driver. A second new class was draft horse under saddle won by Ma ur ic ia Ta ylor , s ec ond by Ambassador Claire Gregg. There were five impressive entries in the six�horse hitch class and first place went to Cal Lipsett, second to Dave Carson and third to Dave Zister of Chepstow. There was also a very nice demonstration of a six�horse hitch of Haflingers owned by Marjorie and James Weeden of Ariss. Carrie Mellor of Kitchener won the Western and English saddle classes. In the light horse competition, single light horse lady driver was won by Dianne Dykstra, driving her brother John's hackney.

� The Agricultural Education tent

was a popular hangout and the “busy as bees” theme was very prevalent. For those inquiring, the jar of honey weight was 2595 grams and there were nine people who had a close guess of 2500 grams. Their tickets were all put in a draw and Pauline Weston was the winner. There was also an opportunity to guess how many cells were in a honeycomb on display. The number was 1,760 cells and there were two close guesses at 1,750 and these two sister�in�laws split their prize.

It seems we always have a few things left behind after the fair is over. This year the camera and wedding band were readily claimed, but I still remain with a very nice homemade duct tape wallet complete with money, a padded black chair support with back, two pair of sunglasses, a denim tote bag, a Winnipeg Jets hoodie, a black vest with Hypor on the chest, and a yellow/black zippered hoodie. Please call me if you want to claim something.

We served 268 people a delicious BBQ Beef supper at 5:15pm under the capable direction of our fearless leader John Thornburn. We hope

everyone enjoyed the corn on the cob and pie with ice cream as a menu change for this year.

Thank you to everyone who came to our fair. It is a pleasure to host it for you and we hope you will come back next year. A very special thank you to our dedicated, loyal and valuable volunteers who make the entire fair possible. We are also very blessed to have the support of our local businesses and many individuals who provide financial assistance and products to reward our exhibitors.

“Ce lebrat ing Agr icultura l Traditions” is our motto and as we wrap up 2013 and soon begin to plan for the 158th consecutive fair in 2014, we continue to keep agriculture, food and farmers as the main focus of our fair. We continue to remember the traditions started 157 years ago by the very first settlers to Paisley and area who gathered to compete and learn from each other. And, we continue to celebrate each year, our community and our people. If you would like to become more involved in the fair, please call the President or one of our Directors to chat about your interests in the fair.

J oanna Pengelly is now doing a taxi service right in Paisley, and this is

the big Caddy limo that she’s using. She’s working for Bruce Taxi, out of Port Elgin..

The limo, a Cadillac Deville, can take up to 7 passengers comfortably. If a group can coordinate their travel to go shopping, or go to doctors appointments, or get home from a wedding then they can share the cost of the travel. It can be a luxurious experience to have a limousine deliver you safely to your door after an evening of celebration. Joanna just

started, but she’s already chauffeured guests home safely from three wedding receptions in Saugeen Shores and Chesley.

Fees are based on time and distance '�� Paisley, so you don’t have to pay the costs for a taxi to get �� Paisley. Specific pricing is available on request. If you forget the phone number just watch for the car (you can’t miss it!) parked at Jo’s Place by the bridge in the center of Paisley.

M any a fine summer evening was spent down by the river at

Walnut Grove. If you don't remember your summer evenings, maybe you should discover the low impact, highly enjoyable game of Lawn Bowling?

The 2013 Lawn Bowling season came to an end with the banquet held in the Walnut Grove clubhouse on Sept 23rd. Thirty two bowlers played on nine teams for the scheduled season

Bryan Webb, Gerald Patterson and Ashley Burke were the regular schedule winners.

The singles champ this year is Rick Trueman dethroning the last two season champ Rita Cenitagoya, good luck with that!

The season playoffs was won by Dave McTeer, Kathy Webb, and Michael Belrose (shown above R to L with Brian Beech).

A jitney is when you travel afar to play other leagues. We ventured to Cargill on the third week of July where one of our junior bowlers Zac Brown, came into the prizes. Another notable young bowler is Michael Belrose who came into the money at

the Teeswater Jitney on Labour day. Both these fine young fellows enjoy the facility, and the quality of the greens at Walnut Grove. They are both seasoned players.

Brian & Edith Beech and Elaine Ford, who do so much for our club, are taking on another term with Ron

B e lr os e a s t he ne w V ic e President. Talk to anyone of these people and they will share their love for this unique game played on one of the finest facilities in the area.

C elebrating and giving thanks for a good harvest are ancient

traditions. When the harvest moon appeared in the sky, ancients knew warm weather would soon be leaving and the cold winter would soon be upon them. From Medieval times, tradition of harvesting, storing, and feasting with family and friends emerged.

Thanksgiving celebrations in Canada are as old as the country itself. The First Nations gave thanks long before the arrival of newcomers to Canada. Cranberries in bogs were the last food to be gathered for medicine, foods, and beverages, sweetened with maple syrup.

Many dates were set to celebrate Thanksgiving, such as the dates when wars ceased. In 1879, the Governor General proclaimed Nov. 6 as a statutory holiday. "A day of general Thanksgiving to Almighty God, for bountiful harvest with which Canada had been blessed". Then for many years, celebrations moved through October, November, and December and even Remembrance Day. Finally, in 1957, Parliament passed legislation making Thanksgiving Day an annual holiday to be celebrated on the second Monday of October.

With Canada's short growing season, not a moment could be lost in harvesting, preserving and storing food for the long, cold months ahead. The housewives were picking, drying, or preserving wild or cultivated fruit as it ripened all summer. Root vegetables were packed in sawdust or sand and stored in a cool dry place. Decisions had to be made as to what animals would be kept or which ones would be butchered. Work bees were often held to do the butchering, to cut up the meat, and to help render the fat for grease or tallow. The intestines were cleaned in order to make sausage casings. Meat was canned in jars. No freezers existed back then. Some vegetables were

pickled. Relishes were made to brighten up the mundane fare! Recently, I had the opportunity to taste wild leeks pickled! These were the best ever! Next spring, I will search out some leeks in our bush and try this delicacy !

Each province in Canada may ce le bra te Tha nks giving w ith various foods that are found locally. They may be grown, hunted or fished! What might be eaten in our own province of Ontario?

Let's begin with sweet apple cider, roast turkey with a bread/sage stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, mashed turnips, green beans, and cranberry sauce, along with pumpkin pie and whipped cream! Be sure you don't forget the homemade bread and buns! M�m�m good! These thoughts were brought to you from "Canada's

Heritage Celebrations", by Dorothy Duncan.

The Treasure Chest Museum is open weekends till Thanksgiving, from 1�4 pm. Otherwise, you can phone 519�353�7176 to make an appointment.

During the last week of November

we are having Nativity collections on display from Jo�Anne Alexander. Mark this on your calendar! It is something you won't want to miss!
