Hosted annually by the Matthews Memorial Hospital Auxiliary as its principal fundraising event, the Richards Landing Community Night is always one of the highlights of the summer. Every year, people come from far and wide to watch the parade, feast on tasty foods from the concession stands and try their luck at fun games and funny activities like the dunking booth, which is always good for laughs at the expense of some poor, good-natured ‘victim’. It appeared that this year’s event might be cancelled as Friday’s heavy rain and thunderstorms plagued the island all day and into the evening. As the day wore on, the Island Clippings, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Municipal offices and no doubt many residents were all receiving calls or emails, inquiring whether the event would or wouldn’t be happening. Since none of us really knew either, the callers were simply told to show up and see what happens. That’s what WE did! Perhaps the rain actually helped in some ways. We stopped first at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, where we learned that the Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary Pasta Supper (in the nice, warm, dry indoors) had been a huge success; so much so that they reportedly ran out of pasta to serve! Down the hall in the Legion lounge, things were a little different as some of the Legion colour party clustered at the windows looking out to the rain-drenched parking lot, watching vainly for the arrival of the Pipes and Drums of the 49th Field Regiment. Always a favourite at every parade, could the pipe The Real Estate Stop Continued on next page David Nelson Sales Representative “Your Island Realtor” 949-7867 • 246-2757 island ScOOp Community Night starts early... get Ready for HILTON BEACH PARADE...Ice Cream CARICATURES, BALLOON CREATIONS & FACE PAINTING special Guest LUCY from McKenna Enterprises Will be in from 4 PM to 10 PM CRAZY PEOPLE...continued from page 1 band not actually be coming this year, thinking that the parade would be rained out? The uncertainty about whether or not the parade would take place in the still-pouring rain brought about some good natured inter-service ribbing among the Legionnaires. We overheard one wit comment “The air force would have cancelled hours ago!” while former paratrooper George Patterson quipped “heck, this is just when the ARMY would go out!” for Caricatures, Photo may be taken before the Parade to be picked up after Hilton Beach Waterfront Centre 705 989-4102 Back by Popular Demand!

From amidst the sodden sound of the rain drumming on the roof came drumming sounds of a different kind. Was it? Yes it was! The unmistakable sound of massed pipes and drums, off in the distance and coming our way! Parade or not, rain or not, the 49th Field Regiment band was here and advancing up the street! And behind them came the flashing lights and sirens of St. Joseph Township’s fire trucks. Out into the cold and rain we all went, only to be amazed at the sight of people emerging from under every possible kind of cover, all rushing to get into position for the parade. The miserable weather seemed quickly forgotten as the somewhat shrunken parade – many of the participants and floats missing – regally and bravely came up the street and turned into the Centennial Grounds. Rain or not, Community Night was on! We followed the throng into the grounds and were amazed once again to see that the food booths were all open (with lineups at every window for every kind of food) as were many of the games and attractions. Under the cover of the small concert stage, the pipes and drums were entertaining with their customary post-parade concert, with many of their audience still standing out in the drenching rain, still happy to be there. Page 2 We wandered by the dunking booth and stopped to wonder about the irony of such an activity …. everybody there was already soaked to the skin, so how much worse could a dunking be? We didn’t stick around to find out! The mood was happy and festive, in spite of the cold, wet weather. The most common greeting from everyone we met was something to the effect of “These People Must Be Crazy to be out here in this!”, again rather ironic, coming from someone who was obviously just as ‘crazy’ to be there themselves. It was a little awkward to balance one’s food and drink while holding on to an umbrella and a camera, but Heather managed it AND kept her camera dry ….mostly. Some diehards were there without even a raincoat or hat, let alone an umbrella! And THEY called US crazy! Threading his way through the crowd was an equally-soaked Mike Mantha, our MPP, who told us that we should gather at the large bandstand (where a rather damp game of Bingo was underway) to witness a special, surprise presentation. And special it was! Assisted by St. Joseph Township Mayor Jody Wildman, Mr. Mantha made presentations to two of our long-time leading citizens, Lorraine Aelick and DON’S GARAGE RR#1 RICHARDS LANDING ON Tel: 705 246-2545 Fax: 705 246-1289 HOME ,IMPROVEMENT ,ISLAND 6/$1'+20( 03529(0(17 Remodeling•Renovation•Maintenance GENERAL HANDYMAN SERVICES Call GREG 989•7794 IHI@live.ca BARLOW CHIMNEY SWEEPS BRUCE MINES WETT Certified - Fully Insured For installations, inspections, repairs and cleaning Don’t leave your home and family at risk!

She met Tuesday night with St. Joseph Township residents, while Wednesday brought her to Jocelyn Township. About 20 people turned out in Jocelyn to see, hear and speak about the new towers. It appears that the vast majority of those in attendance, coming from the island’s most widespread rural township, were happy to hear the news. 8709 Hwy 17 E. Bruce Mines, ON 705 785-3739 DOGS O NLY G ROOMING BY S HELENA Truly personal attention... Grooming one dog at a time - yours! Ms. Williamson explained how a Bell surveyor had spent close to a year exploring the island and mapping out a detailed design for how a network of towers would have to be located for optimum service. This is especially important in a landscape like ours, with many hills and just as many dips and hollows. The towers must be able to have “line of sight” to the next tower, in order to receive and relay signals. The design calls for five towers, as previously reported in our July 18th issue. Two towers are planned for Jocelyn: a 61 metre high tower at 825 P Line near the A Line and the other, dubbed the ‘Beech Beach Tower’ will be 76 metres high and located at 5845 5th Side Road. The process is complex and lengthy. Ms. Williamson’s job is to work with all parties – the engineers, municipalities, landowners, etc. to get everything arranged, followed by the important preliminaries to building, such as soil testing to determine the type of foundation required. Once all details are worked out, approvals must be obtained from the federal agencies with jurisdiction and, since some sites are located on highways, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation must also provide land use permits. She also advised that while Bell, as a federally-regulated body is exempt from local zoning bylaws, Industry Canada will not issue the necessary permits without Bell first working out details with landowners, and the final go-ahead must be ratified by the Council of each municipality involved. Bell is also required to allow a 30 day period for comments and response from the public, particularly those who live within a radius of 3 times the tower’s height. You can therefore still express any comments or concerns about the project, either by mail using the comment sheets provided, or by email to Ms. Williamson at dawilliamson@vianet.ca before August 14, 2013. After that, the ball will start rolling!

In fact, I believe my ‘Gramma Gramma’ (my great grandma) or better known to the Museum as Margret McKay, is looking down on me very proudly. We were very close, and she was a very dedicated founding member of the Museum. I had been to the Museum before, when I was just a little girl. I do remember always looking forward to going into the barn to lift up the blanket that was on the hearse to see the ‘dead’ mannequin. I also faintly remember some places, such as the bedroom in the log house, which used to be closed off, now it’s completely open. I am amazed by the evolution of the Museum and I would gladly boast about how far it has come. What I am here to talk about however, is an artifact with which for me was “love at first sight.” This artifact is a violin. I have been playing violin around six years, so right away I wanted to research more about it. It was quite humorous to find out that it was none other than my ‘Gramma Gramma’ who had donated it in 1995. Sadly this violin has little information on it. I would love to have this violin looked at to find out more about it. How old is it? Who made it? And my most itching question, is it still playable? This leads me into telling you of my dream that I would love to become a reality. You see, violins richen with age (like wine). Their sound becomes deep and pure. The older the violin the better the violin, and this violin is very old. If only I could get it re-stringed and re-haired. Coincidentally, a while back I had been asked to play violin at the Museum. I think it would be amazing to play the old violin that my great grandma donated. Having this violin fixed would be beneficial not only to me but the Museum too. The Museum would not have only restored this violin but now they would have a live display case. I would be able to use it for what it was made for, as well as doing something I love, playing music.

Page 9 Sweet Rides on a Sunny Saturday AFTER SEVERAL DAYS of ab- There was a little bit of everything there …. vintage Ford Model As, sleek sports cars, beautifully-painted and prepped pickup trucks (that we’re sure will never carry anything rougher than feathers or pillows) family sedans from the fifties and muscle machines from the 60s and 70s – and that’s just the vehicles that were parked! solutely miserable weather, the village of Hilton Beach lucked out again, being blessed with a beautiful day for this year’s Classic Car Show. Just like ‘Arts at the Dock’ the previous weekend, Saturday offered a warm, sunny day with a gentle breeze with which to stroll along the waterfront, admiring the view and appreciating the laid back, relaxed atmosphere. And there was so much to view and admire! The waterfront literally glistened with freshly waxed beauties of every make and description, although we did notice a few specks of dust and a slight scratch on the fender of the ‘invisible car’ entry. We think the eagle-eyed judges noticed too. Its owners will have to do a little better with their detailing, if they wish to drive it away with one of the prizes next year!

It was also ‘Hog Heaven’ for more than a few motorcyclists, just passing through. These folks may not have been registered as exhibitors, but they were displaying their own ‘rides’ just as proudly as those sitting alongside their gleaming beauties. So perhaps the Hilton Beach Classic Car Show had more in common with ‘Arts at the Dock’ than just nice weather! This sunny summer afternoon too was all about works of art - of the automotive kind.

But we have also had many summer visits to St. Matthews Memorial - a stitch or two here, a prescription and a reassuring word there. The hospital has been pretty important to us and raising funds for it, a bit of a passion. So when we headed to the grounds with rain pounding down and thunder and lightning above, we figured that we volunteers would be the lone attendees at Community Night 2013. We could not have been more wrong. As we waited soggy and downhearted, we heard the pipers of the 49th and a cheer went up from the crowd lining the route. And when the plucky parade ended, the crowd, umbrellas in hand and coins at the ready, turned to the games and to the pie booth and we volunteers looked at each other and grabbed our supplies. Call Matt at (705) 542-9951 Dimes were tossed and balls thrown and pandas won. They lined up for pie as the rain hurled in sideways and they laughed and visited through the cold and the wet.

JOSEPH Municipal Treasurer Hello to all on “The Island“ (as I used to know it) My name is Gary Williston, and I lived in the Soo from 1963 until 1986. I have known quite a few Island residents and people that are from there (Cracks are included). I had many a great “partay!” on that wonderful Island and remember it with great fondness. There was the old Dew Drop Inn and others, like the still wonderful Tilt’n Hilton. Many of the entertainers that were there over the years I know and played with at times (ex String Bean). Now two of my sisters (Kaye and Faye) and a brother (Danny) live there full time. I sort of envy them, but I left the area in 1986 and visit as much as I can. It is still a wonderful place. I think of that wonderful place, with the deer and the maple stuff and all, at many times. It was and still is a great place to live and to visit at all times of the year. But I have moved back to my roots which is New Brunswick. Here we have many of the great things you do, maple stuff, deer, moose and oh yeh! did I mention Lobster and Scallops? (just to mention a couple) Anyway I do miss the Island at times. Thank You and enjoy your great spot on this earth.

Thank you to all that have shown so much compassion and support to myself and to my family. Kenny was an extraordinary loving husband, Papa Ken, grandpa, brother, son, uncle and friend to so many. He left many wonderful memories behind. We miss his smile, his joking ways, and the things he used to say. May he be looking down on all of us with that huge smile and tell us all 'Life is too short....enjoy it to its fullest'.
