Editor's Desk
Hello!
The last time I got up close and personal with
an Elk is the day I rolled a Toyota Corolla,
back over front in 1976. It's a day I will
remember well for the rest of my life. Getting
this close to this boy to take his picture only
frightened me a little. I will write more on my
vacation in Alberta later. I want to tell you
about the Edmonton Fringe Festival, an event
we just happened upon while we visiting 'Old
Strathcona', a historical neighbourhood in
Edmonton. I had no idea Edmonton is host
of the largest extravaganza of theatre arts and
culture in North America. My husband and I
had a wonderful time.
I was born on September 8th, almost 60 years
ago. I am a little surprised that turning 60 is
causing me some consternation. I am now
beginning to understand what a mid-life crisis
feels like. It didn't bother me to turn 30 and
then 40 ― 50 made me a little melancholy, but
60 ― the thought of turning 60 has made me
feel downright strange!
I will be enjoying another annual get-together
with my oldest friends (who are turning 60
too) later this month. In June, when we were
6 September 2016
in Europe together, we discovered we all had
an epiphany of sorts about turning 60 ― and
then we talked about gratitude and friendship,
work and family. Turning 60 is a blessing,
after all, and I am now understanding the
attitude of gratitude more.

8 September 2016
As you’ve likely heard by now, Alliston Feed
Service had a devastating fire recently and
we have basically lost everything. As you
can imagine, myself, Sheila, and all of our
staff in a state of shock. Sheila and I have
owned the business since 1995. We celebrated
our 20th anniversary in September of 2015
with a great outpouring of support from the
community and local farmers. The mill began
as an elevator in the late 1800s. After a fire in
1917, the elevator was re-built on site in 1918
and transformed into a feed mill by the 1960s.
The mill has been an important part of the
community for over a century.
Sometimes in life, there are hiccups or
challenges where God can give us the strength
to overcome. For us, this is one of those
challenges. When you face these challenges,
opportunities can arise for you to show
strength and resiliency. Right now everyone
on the Alliston Feed Service team has the
mind-set to make something positive from
this very sad situation. From the beginning,
taking care of customers has been at the
forefront of our minds.
Our new location is at 29A Young Street
in Alliston. Our contact information has
remained the same. We would appreciate it if
our customers could please be patient in the
first days at our new retail location, as we may
not be fully stocked with all of our regular
merchandise. However, our intention is to
have all the same products and services.
Soon, we will have even more products.
We would personally like to thank everyone
who has reached out to us with their
condolences and heartfelt support. There is
no way we can individually thank everyone
who has helped us through this tragedy, but
please know we are truly thankful. Honestly,
we don’t think we could thank everyone who
has done something for us without falling to
pieces. We would also like to thank the local
fire departments for their hard work during
the fire and their ability to control the fire
from spreading to nearby buildings. Most
importantly, we would like to thank our staff
with whom Sheila and I wouldn’t be able to
survive without. Their immediate support
from the morning of the fire to the present has
been beyond incredible.
Thank you for all your support.

Matthews House Hospice receives
funding for residential hospice
beds and hospice palliative care
hub in South Simcoe
Ontario is committing to invest up to $1.05
million annually in Matthews House Hospice,
once construction of its new 10-bed hospice
is completed. The province is providing
annual funding for four existing hospice beds,
beginning this year. Funding for six additional
beds will be provided once construction on
the expanded hospice on Wellington Street is
complete in spring 2018.
This new investment by Ontario will help
Matthews House Hospice serve up to 125
residents this year and 250 or more residents
annually, for end of life care, once we are
situated on Wellington Street in Alliston.
We thank the Government and PA John Fraser
for their support, and genuine compassion.
We thank Jim Wilson for his persistent efforts
to bring this to a reality on behalf of our
community and Matthews House.
$700,000 still to be raised to expand our high
quality hospice palliative care services in the
community. We are thrilled to receive the
funding for our residential beds and yes, there
is more to do. Last year Matthews House
Hospice served 514 clients and their families
in their own home or in a day program at our
Community Hospice. With continued support
by South Simcoe communities, we plan to
raise enough funds this year to expand our
community based programs to serve up to
1000 individuals and families.

Green Briar resident Diane Sawyer
with Canadian Astronauts Scott &
Mark Kelly
The Kelly twins were keynote speakers at
a Shaklee conference in Orlando recently.
Astronauts Scott Kelly (back from a year
on the space shuttle) and Mark Kelly (twin
brothers) took Shaklee supplements while
on-board the space shuttle. Shaklee provided
them with Astroade, which is used to combat
fatigue, vertigo, and gastrointestinal issues.
Shaklee is also proud of the Shaklee Pure
Performance Team who competed in Rio
and took home 16 medals, including 13 gold.
Their captain, Eli Bremner, has earned several
World Cup, Pan Am and Olympic medals
over the years. Shaklee congratulates all of
our Canadian athletes.
Shaklee has been working with NASA — the
Environment, and the Human Body for
over 20 years.

Hey there lady golfers! I know, sometimes
we don't sound very "lady" like when we find
ourselves with no luck and bad bounces as we
persist at trying to conquer this very humbling
of games.
The July 19th Fun Day event called "Bingo
Bango Bongo " was blessed with perfect
weather. Thanks to the Pro Shop assistants,
the planners and the social committee ladies
for their buffet luncheon and decorating.
Points were given for first on the green,
closest to the pin and first in the hole. High
scorers for the day were Joan Innes,
Sandy Moyer and Arline Hughes. It was fun!
The "Friendship Foursome " on August 10th
was also blessed with loads of sunshine. The
winning teams were: 1) Andréa Campbell,
Cindy Cowtan, Barbara Thomas and
Joni Graham with 71. 2) Cathy Earle,
Jean Ferguson, Joan Innes and Gladys Carroll
with 73. 3) Pam Dear, Lori Nopper and
Bonnie Marshall with 74. Closest to the pin #5
Sandra Scott, #8 Gloria Grant, #15 Cathy Earle,
#17 Lorri Nopper. Longest Drive #6
Sandra Moore. Closest to the line #14
Bonnie Marshall .
Congrats to the Team Match Play winners:

peaceful and seem exceptionally conducive to
creativity.
“This is one of the blocks that doesn’t get to
collect five free golf balls a week in the back
yards,” Judy laughs. But golf is very high on
her list. You’ll find her on the greens with the
rest of the Lady Duffers Golf Association and
the NLGA 9-Hole League.
From the moment she arrived in Green Briar,
Judy felt welcome in the community.
As a result, she is comfortable telling people
about herself and her passion for words.
Most committed writers walk a line between
awkward introversion and the need for
isolation, and a desire to tell their stories to
everyone who will listen. Judy’s not exempt
from this odd paradox, but she has found a
home in the Green Briar community, whose
residents seem both interested and intrigued
to have a published author in their midst.
BL Storrie
for the Briar Crier
Freelance editor and
mystery writer
Judy Penz Sheluk just
celebrated her first
anniversary in Green
Briar. It is obvious,
from the way she curls
up in the quiet sunshine
of her balcony,
that she is blissfully content with her new
surroundings.
The condo Judy shares with her husband
and their energetic Golden Retriever, Gibbs,
enjoys a green and serene location backing
onto ravine and forest, and the goldfinches
chirp and flit from the shelter of leaves to the
plentiful feeders hanging from the balconies
over the lawn. The surroundings are
22 September 2016
Judy is a full time freelance editor, specializing
in antiques, collectibles, and the love of all
things “homey”, most recently for the New
England Antiques Journal and Home Builder
Canada magazines. She’s had a long career
in journalism, and it’s clear from the simple
elegance of her home that she’s an expert in
creating a graceful living environment.
But in the end, Judy could not resist a lifelong desire to emulate her childhood loves―
mystery writers like Nancy Drew, who kept
her turning pages late into the night. During
an unexpected ten days’ vacation in 2011,
she suddenly sat down and hammered out a
dozen chapters of her first “whodunit”. She
has not looked back since the completion
of Hanged Man’s Noose and its eventual
publication through Barking Rain Press. She
works long hours at her freelance career while
developing her craft and audience as a fiction
author, and she’s well into novel number
three, a sequel to Hanged Man’s Noose.
As an aside, Judy never tries to figure out
“whodunit” when she reads a mystery herself!
She just loves to read, and loves
the ride.
Last year, after the launch of Hanged
Man’s Noose, Judy and her mystery debut
were featured in the Briar Crier. After that
appearance she received invitations to speak
at book clubs, and got to know Alliston and its
book lovers a little better. Her second novel,
Skeletons in the Attic, has just been released.
Judy’s multi-faceted website and blog are
devoted to her fellow authors and their books,
not just her own work. Judy features new
launches, and does interviews with
other authors.
“Writing is about community too,” Judy
says. She believes in giving back, and paying
forward, and believes in her fellow writers’
dreams as much as in her own. Like any
author, Judy would love to hit the New York
Times Best Sellers list, but she knows the road
from here to there is a rocky one for most
writers. She has a firm code of willingness,
cooperation and availability to her fellow
authors. Listening to her share honestly about
her career path and her own breaks, both
bad and good, it’s clear that Judy acts with
integrity on her own beliefs.
“If you ride the elevator to the top, you have
an obligation to send it back down,” Judy
says, when the discussion turns to support for
struggling authors trying to break in.
“Never forget where you came from” is
her motto. She’s liberal with free advice,
mentoring, and kindness. She agrees that
mystery authors, especially, have a true
brother-and-sisterhood, and seem more likely
to lift each other up than to be competitive.
And she finds that mystery readers have a
fabulous collective of fans, both eager to read,
and eager to get to know their authors.

STORY
The Secret
Life of
Potatoes
by Joyce Ernyes
I
t was a hot and
humid August
afternoon
in the potato field. Tater
could feel the earth begin to
tremble ever so slightly.The
vibrations increased rapidly
until they were directly
overhead. The noise was
unbearable. Suddenly, Tater
and his family were scooped
from the womb of the cool
dark earth. He had been
warned that this day
would come.
He was now airborne and
the bright afternoon sunshine
hurt his sensitive eyes.
He rolled and bounced as
he made contact with the
moving object that was the
source of the noise. Little
Tater, as he was known in
the hill, was terrified. He
was a mere six inches in
circumference –– the smallest
of his family of five. His
brothers Spud, Chip and
Couch were much larger and
sister Idaho had a whopping
eleven inch waistline.
Spud and Chip had
been used repeatedly for
replanting, as they had an
abundance of big eyes that
sprouted easily. They were
also bullies. They would
tell horrific stories of how
uncle Russet was baked in
a hot oven for over an hour
before he was eaten. An
aunt had been fried in oil
and salt and vinegar were
put on her wounds. Spud
and Chip would laugh when
Tater and Idaho tried to bury
themselves deeper into the
earth to escape the sound of
their taunting voices. Couch
paid little attention to their
stories, preferring to laze
around and wait for the next
shot of fertilizer to sustain
his energy.
The ten weeks Tater had
spent underground had
passed slowly. Idaho had
kept a close eye on him,
reassuring him frequently
that life above ground was
not as bad as Spud and
Chip had made it out to be.
She too had been replanted
frequently and knew no
other life, but she regaled
Tater with lovely accounts of
other family members being
made into delicious potato
salads or better still, mashed
potatoes to accompany a
festive turkey for a special
occasion. She was cautious

Tater finally came to rest on a flat surface that
was no longer moving. It seemed like he had
been tumbling for hours in and out of large
bins with thousands of other potatoes. He
slowly opened his eyes and gazed around.
He was in a cooler area and the light was less
intense. He called out for Idaho, but got no
response. “Spud, Chip, Couch!” he yelled .
The only sound he heard was the hum of the
large overhead fans. Tears filled his eyes.

“Yes! I am two potatoes above you and a bit

you seem to be also. What is your name?”
“I’m T-t-t-tater he said through his sobs.
“W-h-ho are you?”
“My name is Peel. You look different, are you
a white potato?”
“I don’t know” said Tater, now in more
control of his voice. “I’m a new potato. Are
you a different colour?”

“I’m a red potato, but I don’t see any other
potatoes like me. I must have fallen through
the rollers above because of my small size.”
Tater managed to position one of his eyes in
her direction. Her wee face peered back at
him. He couldn’t believe his eye! She was the
most beautiful potato he had ever seen. Her

lovely red skin was smooth and she had large
wide set eyes. It was the proverbial love at
first sight for both Tater and Peel.
As fate would have it, the following day when
the grading process began by the morning
crew, their size dictated that they were
too small to be bagged for sale to grocery
stores but were too large for French cuisine
requirements. They were therefore tossed into
the seed potato bin for replanting.
Tater and Peel were henceforth inseparable
and were planted together the following
spring. They produced an abundance of little
tubers with light pink skins, thus creating a
new variety of potato that became known as
Desiree.

Thirsty Thursdays” Wine
Appreciation Club
Wine is nectar for a sweet life
Wine is an ancient drink with a noble history.
Grapes that are among the nobility have
unique features that are the same regardless of
whether they are grown in France, California
or Australia. These noble grapes make wine
from all price points, and from entry level
wines to the highest quality.
It’s commonly believed that older wines are
better, which may be true for some wines,
but not most. Most red wines usually peak a
few years after bottling and only a few white
wines improve with age, though sweet white
wines can last for years. The key factor to
wine longevity is the balance of fruit and
acid, as well as tanning for red. There is only
one wine in the world that could live forever
– Madeira, which is the longest living wine
today because of its unique semipasteurization process.
Wine, like most other creations of Mother
Nature, has a lifespan and a peak of
excellence. Ninety-five percent of wines are
made to be consumed young. The remaining
five percent are age-worthy and will improve
over time – just like people.
Many people believe that expensive wines
are better. The price, however, is often an
indication of limited availability and/or
creative marketing. The measure of value
