During autumn and winter there is a greater chance of encountering deer during the early morning or early evening hours. Reduce speed while on rural roads going through wooded areas or along open fields, and watch along the roadside. At night watch for glowing eyes from the light reflected in the eyes of deer.

STEPHEN JEFFERY steven.jeffery@eap.on.ca
Russell Township mayor Pierre Leroux described as “unacceptable” a racist attack on a Black 10-year-old child last week. Leroux released a statement condemning the assault on Tuesday morning after the boy’s mother told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation she no longer felt safe in the community. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are inves- tigating the incident, which according to a social media post started when the boy and a friend passed two white boys their age while cycling on September 22. The post said one of the boys they passed SFQFBUFEMZDBMMFEIJNUIF/XPSE8IFOIJT friend asked the boys to stop, they attacked the black child, hitting him in a leg with a scooter and jumping on his arm. The boy’s arm was broken in two places. Leroux described the attack as “unac- ceptable” and said the community needed to discuss the violence. “Some will say this was one incident and does not reflect who we are as a commu- nity,” he said. “As a community, we must CFCFUUFS8FNVTUCFXJMMJOH UPDPOGSPOU racism and bullying in all its forms. It takes a village to raise a child, and the children in our community rely on our community to make their future better.” The incident followed a petition calling for Russell Township to be renamed due to its namesake’s ties to slavery and the anti-abolition movement. The council voted in July to retain the name, but to renounce Peter Russell, opting to adopt a more suitable namesake. At the same meeting, council
