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 Ameri- can 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 ei- ther side. At the end of the morning’s ‘hostilities’,the British Union happened to be visiting the Fort from their base at Fort Wil- Jack, although torn in half by the biting wind, still proudly low in Barrie. They had come to Fort St. Joseph from their flew over our Fort! Our thanks and gratitude to ‘The King’s temporary base at Ermatinger House in the Soo that morning Men’ of Fort Willow, for saving our beloved Island, and for - part of their ‘pilgrimage’ to visit the historic forts and sites giving us such a great show - and also to the wonderful staff along the upper Great Lakes that played major roles in the of Fort St. Joseph for providing such good, hot coffee and War of 1812, the last time Canada had been invaded. cookies!

These women in- stalled 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. The “Jail Committee” made up of volunteers began organiz- ing in 2006, submitting a proposal to the Village of Hilton Beach Council to preserve this historic building. This pro- posal 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”.

NATALIE ALLARD, OWNER of the Hilton Beach Inn, proudly delivers the proceeds from her recent ‘People Auc- tion’ to benefit our Food Bank. Annual Flu On Saturday, September 3rd, Natalie invited her customers to bid on the services of several local volunteers, with the Shot Clinic proceeds to be donated to the Food Bank. The auction raised over $700 – money that’s badly-needed to provide nourish- ing food for more than 30 local families. A routine flu shot clinic will be held for patients of Drs. Robert Armstrong and Lenka Snajdrova age 65 and over on October 15 (all day), October 21(all day) and October 23 (morning only). This is NOT the H1N1 flu shot. CALL TODAY FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT 246.2477
“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 par- ticipants – 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.
