Although still a member of the
elite team, Pete Tucker no
longer performs or rides. You
see, on June 26th of 2014, he
was on training maneuvers
doing a VIP escort practice on
Highway 400 in Barrie when
suddenly a Canada Goose flew
in front of him, hitting him in
the face and knocking him unconscious. Now out of control,
the motorcycle continued forward at over 100 km/hour,
striking a guard rail before
stopping. That collision with
the guard rail caused him to
lose most of his left leg. His injuries were massive and he had
stopped breathing. He was
rushed to hospital, then airlifted by ORNGE air ambulance to Sunnybrook Health
Sciences Centre in Toronto
where he was in a coma for 3
weeks.
He endured six surgeries in a 10day period. While in hospital, the
doctors removed several tiny goose
feathers from his lung, which had
caused pneumonia. He also contracted a bacterial infection. His
other injuries included damage to
his right knee which required additional surgery, a severe head injury requiring partial facial
reconstruction, a crushed larynx
and he went into kidney failure.
After four months in the hospital,
he was able to return home in October 2014 on his wife Michelle’s
birthday, one that we’re sure she
will never forget. She asked the
doctors for one of the goose feathers taken from his lung, which she

prepared foods are available for purchase at a number of locations along the route.

now keeps in a locket that’s inscribed with one word: Blessed.
He has since learned to live with his injuries and his new waterproof, computerized prosthetic leg. Pete was offered a retirement package but refused it. Brave and strong, he
returned to work full time in January of this year, a mere few
months after such a horrific accident and such terrible injuries. It was with his dedication and strong spirit that he was
the MC for the entire show.
Pete Tucker has inspired me and I am sure those others in the
crowd as well. What I got from Pete that day is “Sometimes
life knocks you down, but life is worth living and you work
past the struggles and heartaches … because life is worth living!”
The weather was perfect, the team’s performance was as expected, exciting and flawlessly executed and everyone enjoyed
the wonderful show. But perhaps the true star of the show
was the one team member who wasn’t riding … who had arrived there by following his own hard and difficult road …
the road back from his terrible injuries.
Thank you Golden Helmet Team for a wonderful performance and thank you Pete for sharing your story. You are truly
an inspiration.

St. Joseph Island
Museum Moment
MONDAY I CLOSED UP THE BUILDINGS for the very last
time this season. Now to get down to business winterizing
them and working on my ever growing to do list before I “retire” for the winter.
This likely will be my last museum moment of the season and
I would now like to take this opportunity to thank everyone
who has helped me at the museum this season, whether by
volunteering, helping with our events, donations, memberships etc. I’ve said it before but this Island is full of kind and
generous people.
Naming everyone by name can be a daunting thing, as I
would never want to leave anyone out, but I do keep a list of
Friends of the Museum here at the museum that I update frequently, this list is extremely important to me as all of the
names on it have helped me by contributing to the museum
in some way. A hearty thank you to you all, it is much appreciated!
As I reflect over the season, I have learned so many new
things. Each day something new and exciting comes my way
and I truly love the opportunity to do this. Over the course of
the summer I’ve been extensively researching in our archives
and concentrating on our photo collection. I have gleaned so
much history from this. I have also helped people connect the
dots with their family history, authors do some research for
upcoming novels they are writing but perhaps one of the
most touching things I have witnessed this summer was the
homecoming of a portrait of Samuel Hunt’s wife Elizabeth or
“Bess” as she was more commonly known.
It was just an ordinary weekday afternoon, when a couple
from the US dropped in with their 106 year old aunt who just
happened to be the daughter of Samuel and Bess, she carried
a large oval portrait under her arm. After exchanging some
family information and stories, I was honoured to tell them
we would love to have it in our collection. We talked family
history for a time and when it was time to go, they all had
tears in their eyes and thanked me profusely for accepting the
portrait. On the way out, the 106 year old daughter touched
the portrait and proclaimed her mother home. Moments like
this make my job exciting, touching and so rewarding.
I would like to thank the Museum Board for their continued
support and their patience with a rather green curator.
So with that thought I will sign off for the season. Wishing
everyone a wonderful fall and winter. I’ll be back next spring
for another exciting season at the St. Joseph Island Museum.

Healthy Living
By Robert Kerr
AT LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL and most Lions
Clubs around the world, the official year runs from July 1st
to June 30th. When the year ends it is traditional for Lions
Clubs to lay low for the months of July & August and ramp
back up in September.
It would appear that the St. Joseph Island Lions Club did not
get the memo.
This past summer has been very busy. It actually began with
a very successful Purina Walk for Dog Guides at the end of
May. The popcorn booth was at most events that took place
anywhere on the Island all summer. There were special pancake breakfasts held for family reunions and a sailor’s race.
The food booth was open at the Richards Landing Community Night and the popcorn wagon was at both the Richards
Landing and Hilton Beach Community nights and winding
up its season at the Jocelyn Harvest Fest. Some special members built a great float that won recognition in both the
Community Day Parades.
While this was taking place, the club continued with its regular Pancake Breakfasts, eye glass collections & mint sales.
Lions International has been supplying manpower and financial aid to war-torn countries and those affected by natural
disasters (water, wind, fire and rain) which seemed to occur
on a more regular basis this year. It has been quite a year.
The St. Joseph Island Lions Club’s first business meeting of
the year is on Wednesday, September 16 at the Hilton Beach
Community Hall. We will be putting together a plan as to the
direction we will be headed this year.
Stay tuned.

Island Insight
Letters to the Editor printed in the Island Insight Column reflect the views of the writer and not necessarily those of the
Island Clippings.
Dear St. Joseph Islanders and North Shore Neighbours:
What Can We Do Here?
Well, we have all seen those heart-breaking photos....terrified
children, desperate mothers and fathers trying to escape the
horror of life in Syria. I am heart-moved to distraction because I so want to do something and am stumped as to what I
can do.
Churches, service groups, municipalities, individuals, medical
folk, military folk, farmers, landowners, landlords....all of us
need to get together and welcome 2 or 3 families to our lovely
home. Let’s strike up a working committee to plan for
this....to ensure we are doing whatever we can, as soon as possible.
I understand that our Prime Minister is going slowly, wanting to ensure that all refugees coming to Canada are screened
for our own protection. We are not blind and are aware that
among those being rescued are Syrian criminals and terrorists
taking advantage of the mass exodus. I get that. But as things
speed up, hundreds of thousands of families will be needing
we citizens to welcome them, support them as they settle into
this foreign and confusing country, and to be kind and welcoming.
Count me in. I can teach English as a Second Language. I can
befriend, donate clothing, drive the newcomers around to
Value Village to buy stuff, teach them how to open a bank account, use an ATM (although they are probably more sophisticated than we think)....we can pool our ideas and
resources....WE CAN MATTER.
Please...let’s do something.
