U.S. Invasion Repulsed!
THE INVADERS CAME under
cover of the rain and mist,
coming ashore at Fort St.
Joseph last Friday morning.
With Islanders asleep in their
beds or going about their usual
business, there was no warning
of any hostilities, and certainly
not of any invasion by American troops!
Luckily, a small contingent of
British soldiers from the Royal
Newfoundland Regiment and
the Glengarry Light Infantry
Without hesitation, the combined force of British troops
quickly formed up their battle lines, loaded their muskets
and bravely marched out to confront the invaders. It was
a quick and decisive battle, in spite of the challenges the
soldiers faced in keeping their ‘black powder’ dry in the
rain and wind. After several sharp volleys, the air thick
with gunpowder smoke, the invaders retreated to their
boats and left. There were no casualties reported on either side.
happened to be visiting the Fort from their base at Fort Willow in Barrie. They had come to Fort St. Joseph from their
temporary base at Ermatinger House in the Soo that morning
- part of their ‘pilgrimage’ to visit the historic forts and sites
along the upper Great Lakes that played major roles in the
War of 1812, the last time Canada had been invaded.
At the end of the morning’s ‘hostilities’, the British Union
Jack, although torn in half by the biting wind, still proudly
flew over our Fort! Our thanks and gratitude to ‘The King’s
Men’ of Fort Willow, for saving our beloved Island, and for
giving us such a great show - and also to the wonderful staff
of Fort St. Joseph for providing such good, hot coffee and
cookies!

THIS STORY HAS SEVERAL VERSIONS based on an old
Irish legend about a drunk named Jack. One day he was out
in the woods and tricked Satan into climbing a tree to throw
down some fruit. Once Satan had helped him, he carved a
cross into the tree and trapped him there. He then struck a
deal that, in exchange for being freed, Satan would leave his
soul alone when he died.
This backfired when Jack died, since Heaven would not take
him in. When he kept bothering the Devil to let him into
Hell, the Devil gave him a burning
ember instead. He carried the
ember in a hollowed out
turnip (sometimes described as rotton) to light
his way, as he wandered
through eternal darkness
on the earth. Eventually
the turnip was replaced
with the pumpkin in
America and became the
modern Jack-o-Lantern.

Hilton Beach Jail Gets ‘Life’!
By Lavera Crack

THERE WAS A LOT MORE TRAFFIC on South Street, Satur-
705-246-8585
day morning, with several volunteers working, and curious
onlookers dropping by, to see what all the hammering was
about. Thankfully, the rain held off as restoration work began
on the old “lock up” (jail).

ESTABLISHED BUSINESS ON BUSY CORNER!
Located on the Trans
Canada and the entrance
to the island this 3+Acre
site has lots of extra potential. Presently selling
regular and premium gas,
diesel and propane.
Variety and gift store
with video rentals and
Lotto Terminal. Additional 3 bedroom bungalow for the owner or
extra rental income.
Good year round business serving travellers and the locals, fishermen
and snowmobilers. If you love living and working in Northern Ontario,
this is a profitable enterprise with ideal location and a great place to
call home. Call Carl for more details and price.
The first order of business was to remove a tree overhanging
the roof. Charlie Nelson took on this project with his backhoe.
Next, he carefully removed the front part of the old roof to expose the rafters. All rotten wood will be replaced with donated
lumber, courtesy of Ralph Nelson. The rear section is quite salvageable, with only a few boards needing replacement.
Up in the bucket went Donna Lambert, trusty rake in hand.
Her assignment was to pull out all the debris left from Charlie’s roof punch. Tarps were used to catch the old shingles, rotten wood, moss, ant & hornet nests. Wayne Ingram provided a
dump trailer, which was filled by the willing hands of Dana
Stevens, Nancy Keenan, Donna Lambert and Lavera Crack.
Up went the scaffolding by Wilfred
Stevens, Wayne Ingram and John Crack.
Wayne and Wilfred then began the task
of replacing the roof.
Then you've found the perfect place. Watch the world go by from the
large wrap around deck overlooking the lake and ideal for entertaining
guests, family and barbeques. Rear yard slopes gently down to waterside deck and deep waterfront. The great room is warmed with floor to
ceiling fireplace and wall of windows for viewing all four seasons.
Other main floor features
include laundry, 2 bedrooms,
full bath, large dining area off
well organized kitchen featuring
plenty of cupboards and
counter space. Second floor
master suite with walk thru
closet, ensuite bath with
whirlpool tub. Large sitting
room overlooking great room is
perfect for curling up with a
good book or gathering the
family for fun and games. Call
for a personal tour of this
year round lake front
home.
According to an article in the old Plow
and Packet, October 2006 issue, this
structure was likely built in 1888. It performed its duties until 1920, although
the Township of Hilton and the Village
of Hilton Beach continued to appoint
Constables after it closed, to keep the
peace and enforce the bylaws.
The Hilton Jail has the distinction of
being the second smallest jail in

Use ketchup to: Remove tarnish from copper
and brass cookware. Squeeze ketchup onto a
cloth and rub it on pots and pans. They should
go back to their coppery color in minutes.
Rinse with warm water and dry with a towel.
Oatmeal: Scrub very dirty hands. Make a thick
paste of oatmeal and water; rinse well.
Rice: Clean the inside of a vase or a thinnecked bottle. Fill three quarters of the vessel
with warm water and add a tablespoon of uncooked rice. Cup your hand over the opening,
shake vigorously, and rinse.
Cornstarch: Clean grease spills on carpets.
Pour cornstarch onto spots and let sit for 15 to
30 minutes before vacuuming.
Hydrogen Peroxide: Disinfect a keyboard. Dip
a cotton swab in hydrogen peroxide to get into
those nooks and crannies.
Rubbing Alcohol: Erase permanent-marker
stains from finished wood floors or solid-surface countertops. Pour rubbing alcohol onto a
cotton ball and apply. Test on hidden area first.

HILTON BEACH JAIL ... continued from page 3
In 1920, the Hilton Jail took on a new role when the local
Women’s Institute decided this would be a good building to
set up a Library to serve the community. These women installed the shelving themselves to save the carpenter’s fee. The
Library was housed in the jail until 1929 when plans began to
build a new library on Main Street.
Ontario and perhaps in all of North America, with a frontage
of 20 feet, 6 inches and a depth of 16 feet, 8 inches. This
small, thick-walled concrete building has three cells with flat
iron grid doors, pressed tin ceilings and two elongated ironbarred windows facing the street.
Local miscreants were ‘sentenced’ to serve time in the jail, but
they were never actually locked in! They simply ‘served their
time’ then went home! Only one ‘criminal’ is known to have
stayed in jail overnight.
The “Jail Committee” made up of volunteers began organizing in 2006, submitting a proposal to the Village of Hilton
Beach Council to preserve this historic building. This proposal was accepted by Council and minor fundraising began.
Donations to date total approximately $900. Plans are now
underway, thanks to Tim Keenan, for a major fundraiser. He
commissioned his friend Ken Bradford, a well known local
artist, to paint the Hilton Jail. Tim purchased the painting
and all rights to reproduce it. The painting is now in the
process of being made into prints to be sold, with all proceeds
going to the preservation and refurbishing of the “Lock Up”.
More information can be obtained from Tracy Stevens or
Donna Lambert, Committee members.
The restored jail will take on its new life as a local tourist attraction.
So a word of caution to those young vandals who broke the
sash on the door the other night and ran off - we will soon
have a place to accommodate you for the night!

A Big ‘Deposit’ to the Food Bank!
NATALIE ALLARD, OWNER of the Hilton Beach Inn,
proudly delivers the proceeds from her recent ‘People Auction’ to benefit our Food Bank.
On Saturday, September 3rd, Natalie invited her customers
to bid on the services of several local volunteers, with the
proceeds to be donated to the Food Bank. The auction raised
over $700 – money that’s badly-needed to provide nourishing food for more than 30 local families.

“It seems that generous donations of money to the Food
Bank are up this year, but donations of actual food are
down”, says Natalie. “With Thanksgiving coming, we felt that
we should concentrate on the ‘food’ side!”
With the help of Tony Trecroce, who borrowed a truck, and
Bill Van Schaik, who helped with the shopping, Natalie took
the money raised to a grocery store and returned with a load
of staple foods, carefully selected for their practicality and
‘shelf life’.
When praised for her efforts, Natalie characteristically
shrugged off any personal credit. “We were happy and proud
to do it!” she smiled. “The biggest thanks go to all of the participants – volunteers and bidders – in our People Auction.
It’s their generosity and caring that made this possible!”
Pride is what we have. Vanity is what others have.

Hilton Beach Marina a Beehive of Activity!
THE HILTON BEACH MARINA was buzzing with activity Saturday, as most of the
‘resident’ sailboats were hoisted out of the water onto cradles for their winter storage.
The work crew was impressively organized, literally swarming all over the boats! As
one boat was being secured in its cradle on shore, another was being hoisted, while
another was being readied for lifting, while still more were being brought over from
their dock spaces to await their turn. It was a well-orchestrated and marvelous event
to watch from a safe distance, with no accidents, injuries or misadventures to any
boats, workers or spectators!
At the end of the day, only a few lonely boats still remained forlornly in the water,
their owners no doubt hoping for that ‘just one last outing’!

Little Johnny’s kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station
where they saw pictures tacked to a bulletin board of the 10 most wanted. One
of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked,
“Is it really the photo of a wanted person”. “Yes,” said the policeman.
“The detectives want very badly to capture him”.
Little Johnny asked, “Why didn’t you keep him when you took his picture?”

QUESTION: I started using the new MSN Messenger 9 and I
wonder what happened to my contact list?
The Fall
Outdoor Power
Celebration
ANSWER:
Your contact list is not missing and has not been
deleted by Microsoft in the last flurry of modifications to the
old Messenger. Rest assured that you are not the only one to
question recent changes. Upon signing into MSN Messenger
9 the familiar contact list for offline and online contacts has
been repositioned to the bottom of a scroll list. Recently
added features have displaced the familiar offline/online contact list that would normally appear at the beginning of each
session. The newly added features are labeled Favourites,
Groups, Friends, and What’s New. To remove unwanted features, locate the Change Contact List Layout button on the
toolbar bar containing the search box, the Add a Contact button, and the very, very important Show Menu button. Click
on Change Contact List Layout. The Options Layout window
pops up. Clear checkmarks from checkboxes for the following
options: Show Favourites, Show Groups, Show the Tab Bar,
and Show the What’s New List. Click OK. More like the classic Messenger? Get back into Change Contact list Layout.
Place a checkmark in checkboxes for Show Offline Contacts
and Show Offline Contacts in a Separate Category. Click OK.
Now you will be able to tell who is offline or online more easily. Beware of the small arrow-head to the left of each category name. This is a very small control and blends into the
general background too easily. As your mouse pointer rolls
across this control, the arrow-head glows. Left click the
arrow-head to collapse or expand the offline and online contact lists. The graphic designers outdid themselves by adding
a slight directional shift to acknowledge successful mouse
clicks. Next to the Change Contact List Layout button find
the Show Menu button. Left click on Show Menu. On the
drop-down menu, left click on Show Menu Bar. This reveals
the classic menu bar across the Messenger window for those
familiar with the old menu system. Thank you Microsoft for
allowing customization.

QUESTION: How do I get the new MSN Messenger 9?
ANSWER: Use your favourite search engine or Google the
following keywords: download messenger 9. This should take
you to, download.live.com, a Microsoft website. Click on
Download. The first stage is a small download (1 mb) which
puts the Windows Live Installer program on your computer.
Choose RUN. On the next pop-up, click RUN also. This starts
the full Windows Live installation process. From the selection
list of available Windows Live add-ins, choose only Messenger. This download alone will exceed 50 megabytes and
should be a real concern to anyone still on dial-up. Follow directions. Don’t accept any plug nickels. Good luck!

Open Thur.-Sun.

(R.I.D.E.) spot checks.
a casual dining experience
THANKSGIVING SUNDAY BRUNCH
OCTOBER 11TH.
Two seatings 11 am & 1 pm. Reservations required.
Menu Items: Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash
browns, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables,
baked pasta and dessert for $15.95.

Saturday October 24th - Coffee and Food Pairing Evening
with the St. Joseph Island Coffee Roasters.
We need at least 25 participants to run this evening
so tickets will be sold in advance. $17.95
“R.I.D.E. is one of the most effective programs in North
America to combat drinking and driving and make Ontario’s
roads even safer. More police checks mean safer roads,” said
Mike Brown, MPP for Algoma-Manitoulin.
Police services in Algoma-Manitoulin will receive a total of
$88,500 for this year’s R.I.D.E. efforts. 170 Municipal and
First Nations police services and OPP offices across Ontario
will immediately benefit from increased funding. More than
8,000 Ontario police officers will be funded for a second year
– double the number of officers compared to 2007-2008.
In 2008-2009, Ontario increased its commitment from $1.2
million to $2.4 million to support year round spot checks.
That amount will be maintained for 2009-2010.
Last year, police conducted close to 784,000 spot checks, resulting in 970 impaired driving charges and 1,900 12-hour
licence suspensions. The visibility of R.I.D.E. spot checks
also serve as an effective public education and awareness
campaign to deter impaired driving.

The Lost Ring
Chase Edward Allister Glawson
Here’s a heart-warming story about how things can work out if
you care and try enough, written for us by an Island resident
who wishes to remain anonymous.
“About 17 years ago my daughter was going to Lake State
University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. While out with
friends, she found a high school graduation ring that obviously belonged to a male. She tried to no avail to find the
rightful owner. When she came home, she told me how she
had found the ring. She gave it to me and told me to do with
it as I pleased.
I put it away and every once and a while I would take it out
and look at it, and wonder how I could return it to the rightful owner. I showed it to many friends over the years and was
given a lot of suggestions as to what could be done with it.
One was to melt it down and make myself something out of
it. There was a lot of gold in the ring and a large blue stone,
but it was engraved with a name inside and some personal
achievements in sports, honouring this person. I just couldn’t
bring myself to do anything with it because I knew it wasn’t
mine and somewhere someone was missing this treasure.
Proud parents Dallas and Hillary are happy to have
Chase Edward Allister Glawson home safe and sound.
Chase was born September 16, 2009 at 1:45 pm.
Weighing 7 lbs, .5 oz. 20.5” long.
Excited first time grandparents Lynn and Jane Kent.
Third grandchild for Keith and Barb Glawson of
Winnipeg. Sixth great grandchild for Harold and
Edith Kent. Special nephew to Jennifer,Tricia, Phil
and Jai-Lynne, and first cousin
for Makenna and Avery.
Well, I pulled it out again and again - it haunted me. I knew
the ring had come from a small city in Michigan. Suddenly, it
dawned on me! I had made a friend who was a Dean, retired
from the Michigan School system. I e-mailed him and, in a
few days, he called me back with a phone number for the high
school from which the owner had graduated.
After talking with the secretary at the school, I felt sure I was
on the right track. I knew they could not give me any information over the phone. She said someone would call me back.
I left my name and number and waited for the call. That
night, I received a call from a man in Boca Raton, Florida. It
wasn’t long into the conversation that I knew I now had the
rightful owner!
I mailed it through our terrific Canadian snail mail and, after
almost two weeks, I got a call from him. He was so excited he
could hardly talk. It had been his high school graduation gift
from his Mom who just happened to be a teacher at the same
high school he graduated from, and still is to this day.
When he told me how
happy he was, I told him he
couldn’t be any happier
than me, knowing the ring
was finally back where it belonged.”

story with us!
