Arden
by Wanda Harrison

What a sight last week, driving into Sharbot Lake, past the new ice rink. Many folks formed a work bee installing roof trusses on the existing rink. Seems that all 4 districts are relying on volunteer power to keep their communities happy. Rink repairs and new boards in Mountain Grove, new boards and repairs in Parham, new rink shack in Arden, and now a roof covering in Sharbot Lake. A note to those in charge of these committees: these volunteers are the backbone of your district, so don’t demean them because they will not volunteer again, and will usually take others with them!!

Congratulations to the Arden Legion and their receipt of a $1000.00 donation from Amherst Island Bingo. This donation was made because of the great participation by those in the Arden area who enjoy playing Bingo.

Mountain Grove will be hosting at Smorgasbord Supper, November 4, 5pm to

7pm at the Mountain Grove Hall. There will be a variety of home-cooked delicious main dishes, sides and desserts. A fee will donation would be appreciated.

Attention hunters and those who enjoy a social get-together. The Arden Legion

will be holding a Hunters’ Ball, November 18 at the branch. Tickets are $20.00

per person and will include a luncheon at 10pm, live entertainment and door

prizes. The contest rewarding hunters, in various categories, is returning to Arden.

Tickets can be purchased prior to November 4 at C 4 or the Legion for $10.00 each.

Land-o-Lakes Public School is in need of mittens and gloves. The Arden United church will accept your donation.

Remembrance Day is just around the corner. This is a time for all of us to count our blessings for our free country and to thank all of those before us who provided it for us. Lest we forget.

Early Bird Legion membership renewal ends November 30. Contact the Legion to see when the branch will be open.

Thinking of you, Connie Tryan.

Battersea/Storrington
by Amanda Pantrey

Sorry folks, was a bit under the weather last week and missed my deadline. But I'm back in time for one last pumpkin joke of the season. What did the pumpkin say after Halloween? Good-pie everyone! 

Travel alert - beginning Monday, November 6th - thru to Friday, November 24th inclusive, Brass Point Bridge on Burnt Hills Road will be completely closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic. This is to facilitate urgent repairs to both the fixed and swing sections of the bridge. 

Sorry I missed wishing Tom a happy birthday!  Hope you enjoyed all October 29th had to offer :)

And a very happy birthday to Don in Parham on November 1st. 

Michelle, welcome back to the Frontenacs!  You are definitely moving in the right direction. 

I still have a significant box of lost and found from the Battersea Pumpkin Festival. I have everything from children's coats, to a bag of new purchases. If you could possibly pass this message around, I would like to return as much as I can. If you misplaced something that day, please call me at 613-353-6653.  I will give it another week or so, then donate the items to Battersea United Church.

Please plan to attend The Storrington Remembrance Day services on Saturday, November 11 at 10:45am at Sandhill Cemetery. We should never forget. Soup and fellowship will follow at the Storrington Lions Club in Sunbury. 

The next food drive to support Battersea United Church food bank is Friday, November 3, from 1-5pm at The Lion's Hall in Sunbury. Please, please, drop off what you can, or even easier, do an e-transfer to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Every little bit makes a difference. No one in our community should be hungry. 

Storrington Stinger News... congratulations to the Parent Council and all volunteers who made the B00-BASH a rousing success. A great evening of treats and activities was had by all.

Be sure to set aside this Saturday, Nov. 4 for a smorgasbord supper (home style dishes and desserts) in aid of our sister United Church in Mountain Grove from 5-7 held at the Olden Hall. A free will donation is asked and knowing the cooks- it will be yummy in the tummy! If that's hunting season bring along the gang and a new crowd can hear the old stories!!

Our own Mitchell Kelsey successfully got a moose out back of Timmins and it was some big indeed. Congratulations Mitchell. In our area, we are soon into that two-week family vacation of hunting season and folks are baking, preparing and getting organized for the influx. They ask us to respect the hounds that will also be “visiting” noting that most hounds will have ID and even a tracking collar so can be traced back to their “families” if lost. Thanks to all who always respect the property lines and no hunting signs- it means so much.

Nov. 25 is their next open mic, and then looking to Christmas will host a dinner open mic on Sat. Dec. 16 from 1- 5pm with a full dinner (meat, potatoes, gravy, veg and pie!!) following at 5. Advance dinner tickets are needed so they can buy enough food and get it all going. Give Marie a call and rock on!!

Also looking at Christmas plans, Arden United Church and the community are hosting an Angel Tree housed at the church for children ages 0- 18 years. Completed forms are needed by Nov. 20 and available at C-4 Convenience.
