That’s when the Village of Hilton Beach hosts its annual ‘Arts at the Dock’ event. Teresa Parker and her camera were there to capture the sights and the atmosphere of this wonderful offering of so many beautiful creations by talented artists and arti- sans, working in so many different media. Teresa tells us that she went early, because it looked like it might rain. On the bright side, she found the cloudy sky made better lighting for her photos. That’s our Teresa – always finding the rainbow in any situation! Photos by Teresa Parker

WE HAVE ALL OWNED A TEDDY BEAR at one time, but have you ever wondered how the Teddy Bear received its name? Did you know there was a Teddy Bear being made in Germany at the same time? I’m getting ahead of the story. Let’s go back a little and learn how the Teddy Bear received its name and how American president Theodore “Teddy” Roo- sevelt ties into the tale. It was said the name came after a hunting incident in Missis- sippi in November 1902 where Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear that the other hunters had captured. He called the other SATURDAY JULY 23, 2016 hunters “unsportsmanlike”. Although he, himself refused to Registration 10:00 am To 12 noon In Village shoot the bear he suggested that the bear be put out of its Office Parking Lot. Cost $10. Per Car misery.

At first the cartoons were a realistic drawing of a black FEATURING “FLATHEAD FORD” bear, then eventually over time they became a cartoon image of a bear.

Now, all the way over in Germany Richard Steiff had designed the first jointed Teddy Bear. It was the world’s first stuffed toy RIDE AWAY WITH with moveable arms and legs. The bears first made their ap- pearance at the Leipzig Toy Trade Fair in 1903 where they GREAT SAVINGS caught the eye of an American trader.

To distinguish their bears from imposters the Steiff Company patented the “but- ton in ear” trademark in 1904. Early Steiff bears were made to look like real bears but even- tually over time they began to take on more of a cartoon like appearance, with bigger eyes and smaller noses.

Letters to the Editor printed in the Island Insight Column reflect the views of the writer and not necessarily those of the Island Clippings. Highway Repairs Causing Damage to Vehicles I am writing to ask if it is possible for the Clippings to do a survey on how many flat tires people have had since the starting of the re-surfacing of the highway on the Island. So far in between Hamilton Bay Road and the U Line, we have had 5 flats and one cracked windshield. This is because of the stones/gravel that they are using. All 5 tires were caused by sharp stones and the windshield, we saw that one coming, literally! We were following the new posted speed limit to minimize the damage from the rocks to the ve- hicles. So much for that idea! I know that they are trying to keep up with a better highway, but it is costing money to get these tires replaced and or fixed. I know that we are not the only one, but how many more? Thank you Yves Gauthier Publisher’s Note: We’re sure that everyone agrees that these highway repairs are long overdue, but Mr. Gauthier is not alone. We too have suffered tire damage from these stones. We can all, as drivers, do our part to help minimize the dangers Celebrating Fifty Years simply by slowing down to a sensible speed on loose gravel - especially when approaching other vehicles. A Legacy of Caring Since 1965
