Fighting Fires in Richards Landing!
VOLUNTEER
FIREFIGHTERS from
St. Joseph and Jocelyn
Townships converged on
the Cornfest Grounds in
Richards Landing on
Saturday, to deal with
several propane fires.
Thankfully, it wasn’t an
emergency response and
local residents were in no
danger. The firefighters had
come from a classroom,
ready to hone their skills in
handling dangerous
propane fires.
Saturday’s ‘live fire’ exercises were part of a 3 day weekend
program arranged by St. Joseph Township Fire Chief Cory
Furlong, and put on by instructors from the Municipal
Health & Safety Association’s Emergency Services division.
The program consisted of classroom and field exercises,
aimed at improving the firefighters’ knowledge and abilities
for meeting the special challenges of
handling propane fires.
“The real danger of propane fires is
that propane is stored in a pressure
vessel.” says Chief Furlong. “Though
there are many built-in safety features
of these tanks and cylinders, there is
always the possibility of one failing. A
single 20 pound propane cylinder,
should it fail and explode, has the
potential of levelling a residence or
garage. This causes great concern for
responding firefighters being caught
in an explosion or being hit by flying
shrapnel.”

The MHSA is a key part of Ontario’s new Health & Safety
Association for Government Services, which was created on
January 1, 2010 by the amalgamation of the Education Safety
Association of Ontario, the Municipal Health & Safety Association and the Ontario Safety Association for Community &
Healthcare. Its instructors are veteran firefighters themselves,
who travel throughout the province, assisting local fire departments in developing specialized firefighting and safety
techniques. On average, they provide the propane training 10
times a year, as well as other important courses in specialized
skills such as trench rescue and fighting silo fires.
St. Joseph Fire Chief Cory Furlong and Jocelyn Fire Chief Dave
Belsito plan to spread
the training to all of
their firefighters. “Since
we’re small, volunteer
forces, the cost of
enrolling everyone in
this training would be
prohibitive.” said Chief
Furlong. “After
attending this course,
our guys will pass on

September 15, 2010 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and

their new knowledge and skills to everyone else
in our departments.”
He also offers very important advice to residents. “As Fire Chief, I cannot stress enough
the importance of proper storage of propane
cylinders. They should be kept in a dry, wellventilated area when not in use, and kept away
from any sources of heat or spark. Always have
current, valid cylinders. Every cylinder is to
have a new valve installed every ten years, to
ensure that the relief value is working properly.
A faulty relief valve in a fire situation could
make a bad situation worst!”
Although 12 hundred-pound cylinders of
propane were consumed in Saturday’s training,
there WAS one
propane fire
that they
DIDN’T put
out - Bill
Pateman’s
barbeque,
upon which
he was
cooking
delicious
hamburgers
and sausages,
to serve as
lunch for the
hard-worked
volunteers.

Back In The Water!
BOAT OWNERS HAVE
BEEN WAITING for
months, and feverishly
preparing for weeks, with
everything coming down to
this one day – the start of
this year’s boating season!
When Saturday finally
arrived, even the cold and
blustery weather couldn’t
deter the throngs of boaters,
workers, assistants, admirers
and onlookers from the
spring boat launchings at
the Hilton Beach Marina.
As usual, they put on quite a
show! It was like an intricate
ballet. The organization was superb, with swarms of workers,
in perfect synchronization with their counterparts on other
tasks. One crew was preparing the boats, another was helping
with the actual lifting of each vessel over to the water, while
another steadied and released the newly-launched craft, while
still another team ferried the boats to their slips – all at the
same time and without getting in each other’s way.
As usual, they put on quite
a show! It was like an
intricate ballet.

Although there might have been the occasional
close call due to wind gusts catching the boats,
there were no ‘casualties’ or ‘unplanned swims’
arising from the day’s activities. It was sheer
springtime poetry in motion, even if it WAS
snowing at the time!

A family went to a hospital, where one of their relatives
was having a brain transplant. One of the relatives
asked, “What will the cost of a new brain be?” The
doctor replied, “A female brain costs $25,000 and a
male brain costs $50,000.” The men smirked, but one
of the females asked, “Why is that, doctor?”
“Well,” the doctor replied,
“the female brain is less because it has been used.”

have a new band mate. Our dear Sheriff and fiddle player,
Byron, has pulled up stakes and moved to Toronto. We all wish

other than Mr. Jamie Case, or Chip as we call him. I now play
the fiddle and we all still hitch up and ride out those same
great tunes as before.

QUESTION:
My computer’s desktop is getting very crowded
with icons. Will I cause damage by deleting some of these
items?
ANSWER:
You should be in no danger if you delete only
shortcut icons. In computer terms, icons marked with a small
white square and interior arrow are referred to as shortcuts, a
quick way to start a favourite program. If you are in front of
your computer, take a moment to count how many shortcut
icons appear on your computer’s Desktop. My workshop
computer has 29 shortcuts on the Desktop. Yes, it would
appear that old-fashioned house-keeping is required closer to
home.
Whenever you install a new program on your computer, there
is a very good possibility that at least one shortcut icon will be
created on the Desktop. Computer software manufacturers
like to give their products plenty of visibility at your expense.
Some installations sprinkle multiple shortcuts on your
desktop without offering any choice. Over a period of time
this results in a cluttered and busy computer Desktop.
$1849.00
Now is the time to remove infrequently-used and unknown
shortcut icons. Right click on any unneeded shortcut, then, left
click DELETE. There is no danger that removing a Desktop
shortcut will remove the actual program. Any shortcut icon
marked with a small white square and arrow is OK to remove.
However, if a shortcut icon you really need is deleted inadvertently, there are easy ways to rectify this situation. Noticing
that something has been accidentally deleted, you can either
restore or drag a deleted item back out of the Recycle Bin. Of
course, you could learn a technique for creating your own
shortcuts. Much better!
Here’s how to create your own shortcuts. Click on the Start
button in the lower left-hand corner of your Desktop. Then,
go to All Programs. The All Programs menu provides access to
all the programs installed on your computer. Having found
the needed program item simply right-drag this item from the
Program Menu to the Desktop. Drop the shortcut item by
releasing the right mouse button. A menu should appear
prompting you to choose between COPY, MOVE, or
CANCEL. Left click on COPY. Be very careful! Use the right
mouse button for dragging and dropping items from your
Program menu. A right mouse button drag-and-drop is nondestructive. Original program items remain safely on the Start
and Program menus when you employ right-drag followed by
a Copy request. However, a left mouse button drag-and-drop
will completely remove the original item from the Program
menu. How do you replace a program item accidentally
removed from the Program menu? Using the left mouse
button drag that nasty shortcut from your Desktop and drop
it squarely on the Start button. Open the Start / Program
menu and search for the recently-replaced program item. Not
where you want it! Use left drag and drop to rearrange your
Program menu.

THIS WEEK IS POLICE WEEK. This year’s theme is
“Building Partnerships for a Safer Community” and focuses
on heightening community awareness and promoting
collaboration between police officers and community
members.
“The true measure of success is the reduction of crime and
victimization and quite frankly, police services can’t do it
alone,” states Chief Superintendent Scott Tod, Regional
Commander – North East Region. “Success is inevitable
when we come together as a community.”
Cottage and Rural Watch, DARE and Internet Safety
programs are but a few of the community based crime
prevention programs where citizens and police services
work together and achieve positive results. Community
volunteers who support these types of initiatives or give of
their time to serve on Community Policing Advisory
Committees are vital to building safe communities.
The OPP North East Region serves the policing needs of
many small towns and rural locales with personnel, both
uniformed and civilian, in 1 regional headquarters, 13 host
detachments and 25 satellite detachments and 1 Provincial
Communications Centre. Its officers patrol 486,800 square
kilometers of land & water, and service 6,385 km of
highway.
The week is dedicated to increasing recognition of police
service delivery. For more information on Police Week
activities, contact our local OPP Detachment at 1-888-3101122 or visit www.opp.ca for more information on
community safety and crime prevention.

A Snowy Saturday
in May!
MOTHER NATURE CERTAINLY has a
sense of humour! As her latest joke,
Island residents awoke to find snow and
ice blanketing the trees and fields,
coupled with a raw, biting wind.
Although the return to winter was
brief, with most of the snow melting by
early afternoon, it still caused some
headaches for drivers. Highway 17
north of the Soo was closed for 5 hours,
from 8 am until 1 pm, due to the crash
of a police vehicle on slushy and icy
Mile Hill. The vehicle hit the rock cut
on the west side of the highway and
burst into flames. The officer driving
the vehicle was treated and released
from the Sault Area Hospital, with
minor injuries.
Why did the duck cross the road?
Because the chicken retired and
moved to Florida!

Earl and Bob, both obsessed with baseball, never missed
their favorite team’s game. They promised, whoever died
first, and went to heaven, would come back to earth and
tell the other if there was baseball in heaven. One day,
Earl died. Bob waited for him to come back. Finally Earl
did. He said to Bob. “I have good news and bad news. I’ll
tell you the good news first. There is baseball in heaven.”
“That’s great news!”, said Bob. Then Earl said, “time for
the bad news ...You’re pitching tomorrow night.”

Christian Camp last month!
The grounds are looking
beautiful and we thank
everyone who was willing to
come out on a chilly day to
lend a hand. We are looking
forward to seeing everyone at
camp this summer!
I would like to take this special
moment and thank everyone
who so graciously sent me all
the get well cards. I was truly
overwhelmed with the

We would like to thank our
community of St Joseph
Island as well as neighbouring
communities for all of the
support that we’ve received
after our tragic fire in March.
The overwhelming support we
have received has truly been
amazing and we are blessed
to have such amazing people
around us. We would also like
to thank everyone involved
with the Pasta Benefit Dinner
at the Legion on Saturday. It
was an amazing evening and
we are blessed to live in such
a wonderful community.
Thank you again to anyone
and everyone who has helped
our family in any way! We are
forever grateful.
