For the third year in a row, Tom was missing the summer. Two years earlier, he’d lost his job at a major bank, when it Hilton Beach was absorbed by a larger one. He’d spent the first summer looking for another job, then last year and this, getting his We hTaoveu wraxiswto rPmsa frokr the fledgling accounting firm solvent enough to support his family.

Never mind that at his young age, he was almost my weight and strength. Sarah’s sharp glance dissuaded me.

After the dishes were put away, I stepped past Tommy—again Our Whitefish and Perch ‘Fish Fry’ dinners will be available too. engrossed with his hand-held game—to the deck. The weather had been wonderful all summer and tonight, the lake Don’t miss it! below me was like glass. My thirty-five-year-old Snipe sailboat swung slowly around its mooring like a patient pony, nodding now and then at the wake of someone’s distant boat. In the Hilton Beach Inn 246-0063 I’d bought her new, the year before I competed in the Snipe nationals, coming in a respectable fifth overall, with son Tom as crew, and was still in love with the feisty little boat. The cottage was built in the late 1930s, and purchased by my parents shortly after WWII . Growing up, there was hardly a year that we didn’t spend our vacation there, and I learned to sail on dad’s venerable Lightning. Then, when Sarah and I married, I was delighted when she, too, fell in love with our annual trek up north. Sarah was a willing crew and we competed in loosely organ - ized racing on Superior’s south shore. But when our young son Tom first got in a sailboat, I knew he was a natural. He was six when I bought the Snipe, and by then, already sailing his own pram. This year, I’d been sailing just a few times. The Snipe is a two man boat, and not safe to handle alone in anything but benign weather, at least for the older gentleman I’ve become. Lake Superior is rarely benign. It just wasn’t the same without Tom here. I stood on the deck, taking in the beauty of the lake for several minutes before returning inside to find Sarah, Kate, and Martha deeply engaged in a jigsaw puzzle; Tommy still at his game, thumbs working in rapid, practiced coordination. “That your exercise for the next two weeks?” I was immediately sorry I’d said it. Sarcasm with kids rarely has a positive outcome, I’d learned the hard way. “I guess.” was his predictable reply. He didn’t look up. His game emitted an infuriating, inane melody. I tried a different approach. “What are your plans for tomorrow?” “Nothing, really.” Page 2 “Well it’s your vacation. I suppose you can do what you want. ” That ought to get him. “Okay. ” The Power of Spring ! I retired to my chair and picked up my book, but it was no use. The Power of Spring ! Over the top of the book, I glared at my grandson who, obliv - The Power of Spring ! ious to my frustration, thumbed away at his game. “Tommy!” I waited until he looked up.

I’d show this kid a thing or two. I grabbed a pencil and pad from my chair side table, plopped down on the sofa next to him and began scribbling. “Okay, the first thing is to learn is Husqvarna 235 34.4cm 3/16” MRSP 299.99$ $249.99 nomenclature, then the points of sailing, then….” Husqvarna 240e 40.0cm 3/16” MRSP 379.99$ $299.99 And so it went, with me showing off how much I knew to this Husqvarna 440e 40.0cm 3/16” MRSP 439.99$ $399.99 fourteen year-old, all the while pontificating on the virtue and Husqvarna 455 Rancher 55.0cm 3/18” MRSP 499.99$ $449.99 purity of sail over power.

842-2433 Page 12 Women’s Institute News The Clover Valley and Richards Landing Women’s Institute members enjoyed their outing on Tuesday, June 1st. The first stop was Mom’s restaurant for lunch and then on to the St. Joseph Island Museum for a personal tour by Curator Pat Fleming. I encourage everyone to renew their museum membership and visit the museum during the season to support this outstanding island asset. Pat, staff and volunteers are planning several events and are continually changing and improving the museum displays. We had an amazing visit and sent our thanks for all the hard work they do on site. In July, the Clover Valley and Richards Landing Institutes will $1849.00 join forces to host two events. The first is the Algoma North Shore District Women’s Institute International Picnic on Wednesday, July 21st , where members and guests will enjoy lunch and participate in a tour of the island by bus or boat. The second event is the Women’s Institute Quilt Show on July 30, 31 and August 1st. The Quilt Show is the fundraising event for both Institutes. Funds raised during the show allow us to make donations to the island’s local fire departments, the Children’s Library, St. Joseph Island Central School programs and the local Food Bank, to name only a few of the organiza - tions supported. We are always looking for volunteers for the Quilt Show so if you want to help out with set up, take down, the Tea Room, or greeting guests and taking their money, please contact Carol $329.00 Smith at 246-3942. You can volunteer for as little as 3 hours. We are also looking for quilts to display at the show!
