The church has since been sold to a local resi- dent who intends to convert it into a house. The church was built as a Presbyterian place of worship in 1899, sixty years after St. Andrew’s in New Richmond and about 26 years before the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregationalist Churches The United Church got together to form the United of Grand Cascapedia Church of Canada.

Page 7, October 31, 2018- Spec Old time Halloween treats Whether you celebrate Halloween, or not, there is something so special about that day and evening. You can dress up, enjoy some candies and decorate your home. It’s all just pure fun. No hidden agenda. Memories of Halloween are something many treasure. Remember the Halloween that it was so cold that you had to bring the kids home early? Recall the Halloween when your neighbour gave out homemade candy apples? Remember the haunted house? Remember how much fun it was to make your own costume? Halloween is all about mak- ing memories. For this Halloween, or future Halloweens, dial the celebrations back. Make the treats together with your children or grandchildren. Design and make the costumes. Have a house party for children. It will be these memories that your children will cherish the most. Sim- ply buying a costume and going door-to-door for treats is fun, but making your own Halloween is a notch higher. -Diane Skinner Candy Apples Back to Basics Popcorn 6 – 8 small apples (NOT made in a microwave) 4 cups white sugar Did you know that microwave popcorn contains perfluorooc- 1 cup corn syrup (light) tanoic acid which is not any ingredient your grandmother ever 8 drops of red food colouring cooked with!
