“These People Must Be Crazy!”
THAT SEEMED TO BE THE COMMON GREETING from
everyone at the Richards Landing Centennial Grounds last
Friday night as the pouring rain tried – and failed – to put a
damper on this year’s Community Night.
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

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!”

George clearly knows what he’s talking about. 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

Created in 2012 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of
Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, the medal recognizes outstanding, long term dedicated involvement and leadership in one’s community. Congratulations to both on this
great honour! Even though the presentation took place under
such wet, miserable conditions, what better venue than a

Jocelyn Residents Have their Say
about Bell Towers
BELL MOBILITY CONSULTANT Deborah Williamson returned to the Island last week, to continue her round of public meetings with residents about the planned new
communications towers. 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.

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!

St. Joseph Island
Museum Moment
I AM VERY HONOURED to work at the St. Joseph Island Museum. 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.

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!

Cruising slowly
through the crowds
were several other
hot classics, driven
over for the day by
other auto enthusiasts. 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.

Although we have raised our families in Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Burlington, BC and
the Soo, our kids have grown up enjoying St. Joe’s summers and Gawas Bay sunsets.
And those wonderful summers have always revolved around Richards Landing Community Night.
Our commitment to Community Night springs from many sources... Grandma Barb
and Grandpa Jim are cogs of the hardworking machine that year after year string the
lights and tack up the flags and cut up the pies and auction off the quilts that we all
expect to see every last Friday of July.
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.

THE TOWNSHIP OF ST. 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 our family and
friends for your thoughtfulness,
kind expressions of sympathy,
cards, donations and food on
the passing of Evelyn Bishop.
We were so fortunate to have
her with us so long. We will miss
her dearly. A bit of trivia: Evelyn
lived 36,776 days and made
each one count. Special thanks
to Pat Brown for the heartfelt
service, nephews Ben, Bruce
and Dennis for playing Mom’s
favourite hymns, Connie for the
flowers and finally to Mom’s relatives from Brampton, Kitchener
and Ottawa who made a special
effort to be here. The family of
Evelyn Bishop.

MEMORIAM
In Memory of Ken James. It
has been a year, July 31, since
the passing of Kenny. 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'.
Forever in our hearts and always loved and remembered,
Your loving wife Gillie
