Frank Stokes The Munster Mash www.munsteronline.ca P a g e | 1 Harvest Fest 2017 By Shaun Hassanali and Laura Rupert ByHarvest Shaun FHassanaliest was a spectacular event! There were many activities for all those to have a great time - from the crafts, to the food, to the pie-in the face contest, amazing job on all! But it leaves me with one question- what did I do to deserve the top nomination for pie-in-the face? From Left to Right: Jessica Breckenridge, Shaun Hassanali, Dan Mallett, Bob Easy, Jim Watson, Laura Rupert A Pie-in-the-Face Experience As a vote was done online (on the MCA Facebook page) the community came together in voting the ‘winners’ for getting a Pie-in-the-Face. They included: Bob Easy, Dan Mallett, Scott Moffatt and I! With the support of Danbys providing the whip cream, we all had the fun opportunity of getting hit in the face - seeing the smiling faces of kids and adults trying to get us! The one fun memory I can recall from having pie in the face, was the delicious taste of the whip cream! Perhaps next year, others will want to share in this spectacular event of tasting the delicious whip cream! Thankfully we were blessed with nice weather this Harvest Fest and Munsterites, young and wise, could take in the activities and participate in the fun. On our menu this year was pulled pork sandwiches and corn, and I hear they were a hit! Which I'm very thankful to hear since it was my first time EVER making pulled pork! Thanks to Jude, Curt, Barb, Lisa, Shaun and all our other volunteers for running that station. The community also got to enjoy the Photo Booth from the Goulbourn Museum, amazing face painting from the Painted Pixie, the petting zoo and pony rides from Big Sky ranch, the artifacts from the Historical Society, the Bee display (and candy) from the Horticultural Society, the baked goods from the Munster Playgroup, the super cute crafts from the Munster Pre-school, all the vendors, Mayor Jim Watson, City Councillor Scott Moffatt, and MP Pierre Poilievre for joining us in the festivities and for their sponsorship; to Susan, our wonderful librarian for hosting a story time yoga and for helping run the Pie-in-the-Face. The money we raised from the Pie-in-the-Face and pony rides were donated to our local food bank. We donated $400 and some canned goods to the food bank. Thank you, everyone for supporting this cause! I'd also like to thank the very talented people from Munster for their baked goods, crafts and art. There were so many great submissions this year, and the judges found it very difficult to choose. But there could only be one winner in each category, and they are as follows: Adult Category Children’s Category Best Photograph: Susie Dever Best Photograph: Paige Thomas Best Baked Good: Genn Browne Best Baked Good: Ryker Doane Best Artwork: Gabi Beyer Best Artwork: Sophie Smith Best Craft: Sarah Josee Best Craft: *It was a cute little toad, but I can't Best Textile Piece: Meghan Goddard remember who won it. * Best Textile Piece: Kate Breckenridge Thanks to everyone who participated. If you have not been in contact with Jessica Breckenridge or me to claim your prize, please contact us as soon as possible. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to the MCA, Rental Village, Saunders Farm, Jabulani Winery, Laura Lee Photography (yay me!), and all the others mentioned above, for sponsoring this event. We couldn't have done it without your support. To the dedicated team who run these events with me, thank you for your continuous guidance, assurance and support. I really can't do this without you! And lastly, to every single person who participated in this event, THANK YOU! Your participation means that we succeed, and get motivated to make it bigger and better next year and for many years to come. The Munster Mash www.munsteronline.ca P a g e | 2 MCA Logo We are thrilled to announce that Option 2 was chosen for the new MCA logo and revealed at Harvest Fest. The decision was made by the MCA executive based on the feedback given by the community, 70% supported the idea to incorporate a four leaf clover in the design of our logo. The thinking behind our new logo, specifically the choice of the four leaf clover: Munster was originally named after one of the kingdoms in Ireland, where many of its first descendants originated from. The four leaf clover has four leaves, one for each quadrant in Munster. We are so lucky to be surrounded by nature here in Munster. We’re also pretty lucky to live in such a special place. Special thanks once again to our MCA Member at Large, Jody Ferguson, at Voilà Creative for designing the logo. The MCA Logo held by City Councillor Scott Moffat in the Big Red Chair surrounded by some of the MCA Executive Members at Harvest Fest. NO DITCH DUMPING! Please, be a good neighbour, dispose of your waste properly. Yard waste is picked up weekly at your curb. Please DO NOT throw yard waste over your back fence if you back onto Munster Road – it will distract from the beauty of our village to visitors and residents, interfere with mowing of the grass, and if the City has to clean it up you might be liable for the cost. For tips on handling large or bulky items, visit: http://ottawa.ca/en/residents/garbage-and-recycling/garbage-collection/curbside-garbage-collection Halloween Contest 2017 The warm temperatures of Munster had many houses in the community decorated! This year, the MCA held its’ third Annual Munster Halloween haunted decorated house contest. There were many contestants in different quadrants fighting for the title of scariest house in their respective Spooktacular quadrant. When I asked some participants how long they take to get their homes ready, they indicated months of planning! One individual I asked, who wanted to remain anonymous, stated that, “they have already started planning for next year!” A huge thank you to all that participated! The contest was opened to all houses in Munster, along Bleeks Road and Biltmore Crescent, had over 60 decorated homes! The winners for this year’s contest included: Biltmore Crescent Bleeks Road 104 Biltmore Crescent 7837 Bleeks Road Butterfield Road/Stroughton Crescent Owlshead Road/Coolbrook Crescent 14 Cove Court 83 Owlshead Road Butterwick Street/Coldstream Drive Dogwood Drive/Whisperwood Street 22 Coldstream Drive 16 Whisperwood Street The Munster Mash www.munsteronline.ca P a g e | 3 Scavenger Hunt By Laura Rupert Another event, the Munster Scavenger Hunt, was also a BIG HIT this fall.

    Issue 12 – January 2018 South Lions Quarterback Ethan Martin nets two Major Awards The Guelph Gryphons are getting more than just a very good quarterback; they are getting a razor-sharp student and committed individual. South Lions quarterback Ethan Martin put an exclamation mark on his high school career Monday. For the second year in succession, the Grade 12 student won the Bob Gooder trophy as high school football’s most valuable player and the Greg Anderson Memorial trophy for academics at the annual high school awards ceremony at Central secondary school in London.

  • Yonkers Does Away with the Passing Lane but Is It the Right Move to Drive Handle? by Brett Sturman
    Friday, December 15, 2017 Yonkers does away with the passing lane But is it the right move to drive handle? by Brett Sturman In today?s HRU Stakes scheduling, the secret to life and curing tie-up page 9 Bird Parker beat Bold Eagle page 11 Mike Woebkenberg: A non-stop promotional idea machine page 12 Devious Man joins Blue Chip stallion roster page 14 One group to oversee racing in Ontario page 14 Little joins Big M broadcast crew page 16 Cherry buy into Heston Blue Chip page 17 Cammie Haughton made news yesterday on the harness racing podcast Post Time with Mike and Mike, when he announced that that Yonkers will be doing away with its homestretch passing lane. Pending approval from the New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC), the change is scheduled to take effect when Yonkers begins its 2018 racing season on Sunday, Jan. 7. Haughton was recently appointed last month as the director of racing at Yonkers (full story here), and one of his primary responsibilities is to improve handle. Haughton said Thursday regarding the removal of the passing lane, ?We?re going back to basics? These guys (drivers) are going to pull. They?re not going to sit in there and wait for the passing lane and go on through.? The decision to get rid of the passing lane at Yonkers seems to be more well received than not in the usual social media circles. But the question becomes, will doing away with the passing lane improve the Yonkers product and in turn, the tracks handle? By any objective account, the style of racing at Yonkers leaves much to be desired.
