WHAT IS THIS “IN” that ‘Jocelyn Rec’ seems to have with Mother Nature? This year’s Harvest Festival day got off to the same kind of start as last year’s … overcast, gloomy and drizzling rain, only to have the skies clear and the dismal dreariness replaced by a warm, sunny, almost perfect summer day, just in time for the Harvest Festival to begin. It’s a good thing too, because there was so much going on! UNlike last year, when the poor weather forecast deterred many from attending, this year’s down-then-up changes in the weather didn’t stop the people from coming out to take part in the festivities. The overall atmosphere seemed to reflect “bigger and better”. Although we didn’t take a count, it certainly seemed that there were more peo- ple, more event participants, more attractions and more vendors showcasing their of- ferings. And of course, the delicious foods! All of the activities seemed to go off without a hitch. There was face painting for the kids, games galore, a petting zoo, reading tent, train rides and, of course, the Scare- crow Contest and Children’s Fall Fair all afternoon. There were lots of attractions for the grown-ups too, with the lineup of classic cars, the trucks and equipment of Jocelyn

Amidst it all, upbeat announcements by the eloquent Alice Ward shared the stage with silver-voiced Mike Cormier who, accompanied by your humble publisher, provided the day’s musical entertainment. Although we had to leave by 3 pm to keep another commitment, every- thing was still going strong throughout the Jocelyn Centennial Grounds and cars were still coming in, bringing new people to see and take part in the great day. So once again we say con- gratulations and “well done” to the Jocelyn Recre- ation volunteers, along with our thanks for putting on yet another wonderful Har- vest Festival.

There were quite a few correct answers this year, so the win- ner was pulled out of the jar of correct answers, and the win- ner is Beverly Lyons. She has won a $40 gift card generously donated by Hess Jewellers. So I’m out to check the buildings for an artifact for next year’s contest. Since there were so many correct answers, I’m going to think about this for a while and try to find some- thing really challenging. A special thank you goes out to Pat Fleming. She sat up at the fairgrounds for the afternoon for me as the museum was open. Thank you Pat! As they head back to school this week, I also want to take the time to thank the summer students this year, Vanessa Ervin, Hailey Szyska and Riley Glover. These students have helped me immensely over the summer with many projects and I truly appreciate their help. The museum is open the rest of this week, and we will offi- cially close for the 2015 season Monday September 14th, so if you haven’t been out yet, you still have time.

I would like to point out a (corner of Hilton n Rd and 10th Side Rd) small typo that has some bearing on interpretation of these changes. Certainly there seems some lack of clarity in the FOR MORE INFO CALL LL HTA (no wonder we have lawyers). Debbie LaRocque 705-246-271414 Bryon Hall 705-246-350202 In that edition you printed: “In addition, all drivers are re- quired to maintain a minimum distance of one metre when passing cyclists, where possible”. The amended act states: (6.1) Every person in charge of a motor vehicle on a highway who is overtaking a person trav- elling on a bicycle shall, as nearly as may be practicable, leave a distance of not less than one metre between the bicycle and the motor vehicle and shall maintain that distance until safely past the bicycle. Grammar was never a strong suit of mine, but it seems that Practicable means capable of being put into practice. Practicable is a synonym of doable and feasible. The difference is not minor. Thus, to graze the shoulder of a cy- clist when passing and not providing the 1 m clearance, be- cause (for example), the driver didn’t think it was possible to VETERANS* cross the midline of the roadway ...said driver would quite appropriately be guilty of an offense under the HTA.
