We’re all so thankful that so many are getting vaccinated, attempting to get the third Covid booster and maintaining all the Covid protocols. Even our little outpost hospital at Manitoulin has enforced the idea that all employees, hospital board members, tenants and contractors must provide evidence of having received vaccines, and same as here- everyone is in agreement. Let’s all do our part so we can remain open and able to celebrate Christmas fully this year.

Our two week family vacation of hunting season is bringing so many folks home to hunt and I couldn’t possibly list them all here! Our cooks are really rocking the kitchens with pickled eggs, butter tarts, homemade bread, and lots of variations on how to cook venison. It’s old home week for sure. At my home in Manitoulin, deer hunting starts Nov. 15.

Special thinking of you and prayers for Lee Anne White, Elaine (Deline) Cowdy who are in hospital and to all who are ailing.

Four more days and we are half-way through November with Christmas and the holiday season right around the corner.  Was nice this morning to run with some light in the sky, but what a scramble to get the grass all cut before dark!  I think I enjoyed my extra hour of sleep Saturday night – but with 4 grandchildren and two puppies visiting I really cannot remember!

November 8 was Indigenous Veterans Day. The rate of Indigenous participation in Canada's military efforts over the years has been impressive. These determined volunteers were often forced to overcome many challenges to serve in uniform, from learning a new language, to having to travel great distances from their remote communities just to enlist. More than 4,000 Indigenous people served in uniform during World War I. Indigenous recruits joined up for a variety of reasons, from seeking employment or adventure to wanting to uphold a tradition that had seen their ancestors fight alongside the British in earlier military efforts like the War of 1812. Indigenous men brought valuable skills with them when they joined the military. Patience, stealth and marksmanship were well-honed traits for those who had come from communities where hunting was a cornerstone of daily life. One unique example was being a "code talker." Men translated sensitive radio messages into Cree so they could not be understood by the enemy. Another Cree-speaking "code talker" would then translate the received messages back into English so they could be understood by the intended recipients. Indigenous service members would receive numerous decorations for bravery during the war. Indigenous people also contributed to the war effort on the home front. They donated large amounts of money, clothing and food to worthy causes and also granted the use of portions of their reserve lands to allow for the construction of new airports, rifle ranges and defence installations. The special efforts of First Nations communities were recognized with the British Empire Medal to acknowledge their great contributions. [from the blog Indigenous Veterans] To read more on Indigenous Veterans please visit the Veterans Affairs webpage at: https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/people-and-stories/indigenous-veterans

Remembrance Day – We should take the time to remember the following military veterans from the local area who were in the Great War, World War II, & the Korean War: Arden Fournier, Arthur Warrington, Bill Ritchie, Burns McDonnell, Clarence Hall, Craig Greer, Daniel Linton, Delbert Warwick, Earl Tysick, Edwin Burns Gordon, Elwin Gordon, George E. Morrison, Gilbert Blair, Gladstone Linton, Harold Walker, Harry Moore, Herb Charlton, Irene Kirkham (Strong), Ivan Wheaton, Jack Fleming, James Lackey, John Fleming, Kenneth Allan, Melville Kirkham, Miller Warrington, R. A. Buchanan, Robert Greer, Wyn Truelove, and those who we might have missed.

Mississippi
by Pearl Killingbeck

Halloween has come and gone.  It was nice to see the moms and dads out with their little ones.   There are less and less children coming out every year.  We do not have very many here. 

Congratulations, Jeff, on your deer hunt and bagging your first deer and congratulations to George and Dillon on getting a moose.

Donna is slowly getting back on her feet and doing hair again. 

Olive Allen sold her car – her Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and she will probably have to go by horse and buggy to get around now.

I finally got my car back from Ford.  It is nice to get out for a drive again.  I visited with Chuck and Penny on Friday.  It is so great to be out and about again.  Thanks a million to Bob and Elaine for taking my car in and bringing it home to me.  Just hoping the snow stays away so I can drive a little longer.

Olive Allen spent the weekend in Sharbot Lake with her daughter, Barb.  Sympathy to Cheryl and Olive on the death of their beautiful dog, Allie.

The Elf Inn Express is all locked up for the winter.  They had a wonderful busy season and want to thank all the people for coming out and making it another successful season and hope to see you all again next spring.

I didn’t see any people outside drinking coffee at the Community Centre on Friday.  I guess outside coffee is all over for the season.  Maybe we will be able to have our coffee in the hall soon.  The bathroom renovations seem to be moving along.

Remember the war vets on November 11th and buy a poppy.  These wonderful people lost their lives for our freedom and attend a service if you can.

November birthdays:  Chloe Roux, Phyllis Buchanan, Pastor Phil, Linda Russell, Ryan  DeLisle, Raymond Riddell, Ethel Clark, Stan Sargeant, Karen Woodman, Gracie Hannah, Bev Elliott, and my great great grandson, Jack, who was six years olds on November 5th.  He is such a sweetie.

Steve Goodberry is going to put on a concert for me and friends at the end of November, or first week of December as soon as we figure out a date that we can all get together.

A thought for the day:  No matter what happens or how hard it seems today – life goes on and it will be better tomorrow.

Ompah
by Linda Rush & Marily Seitz

The Ompah fire station had a different look the last week of October, as it was decorated to celebrate Halloween. Firefighters were on hand to shell-out candy to the trick-or-treaters who stopped by. The firefighters greeted 16 very creative and amazing costumes. One trick-or-treater (who might be a future recruit) was dressed in a Sparky costume. Many thanks to all who participated - it was a fun night for all.

I was talking with a friend in late September and she said, "The fall is such a busy time."  And so it is.  What with work in the woods, garden harvest and clean up, medical appointments, winter tires on the car... And so it continues.

Downtown Ompah has been busy the last while.   First Aid training for the fire fighters was held for two weekends at the Community Centre. And the same two weekends, 9 OPP cruisers were parked at the Rest Stop as the police officers were doing ATV trail training.  And now it is hunting season.  Hope everyone stays safe and has good luck.

We just got news that the Community Centre is opening up.  Proof of vaccination and masking will still be required but we can return to pre-Covid numbers in the hall.  The Hall Executive is meeting this week to make decisions on future activities.  Stay tuned.  Marilyn Dunham, long-time hall caretaker, has retired.  She was involved over the years in not only cleaning but in booking, planning, and helping out at events both in the hall and in the community.   Marilyn was a true Care-Taker. She is already missed.  Welcome to Taylor who takes over from her grandmother!

On Monday, November 15, the Sharbot Lake Health Team and Rural Frontenac Community Services will hold a workshop on 'Shopping for Healthy Eating' presented by Registered Dietician Saman Shaikh. The workshop will be a Zoom or telephone event from 10:30 to 11:30.  For more information or to register, call 613-279-3151.

Rural Frontenac Community Services are also presenting a 'Winter Driving' workshop at the Ompah Hall on November 18.  The guest speaker will be Melanie Trottier from the Ministry of Transportation.  There will be a free take-out lunch.  RSVP my Nov. 11 at 613-279-3151.

While reading the paper a few weeks back, my girlfriend and I discovered an advert for Forest and Fields Dog Retreat. We called Cheryl not long after to arrange overnight care for our pup, Merle. After a chat on the phone (as is seemingly always the way), we discovered that we have mutual friends, and certainly share a love for canine companions.
Cheryl was happy to come pick up our pooch and take him to her beautiful property at 3047 Westport Road in Godfrey. Merle is going to be excited to get back there to the explore the trails with the rest of the four legged and bipedal crew. Be sure to check out the open house, which will be an on-leash dog event there on Saturday, November 13th, 1-3 pm. Cheryl asks that you email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to register for the event.

Hope Daylight Savings didn’t cause anyone too much upset. It certainly has been known to get the better of me. Thankfully, it’s always on Sunday.

Let me know if you like to see anything printed here, and have a great week!
