COMMUNITY QUILTING A Band of Incredible Women! ON TUESDAY MORNINGS, Norah McGuire gets up with perhaps an extra spring in her step. It’s a special day and she wants to get on with it. Among her many other talents and interests, Norah is one of those many people who proudly share that particular passion for “quilting”. And, although ‘quilting’ day can be any day, Tuesdays are very special quilting days! Quilters seem to be a very special type of person. They are practical – any piece of fabric, regardless of its size, colour, texture or material is useful. They are creative – it’s truly amazing how they can take an apparent jumble of unrelated material, cut big pieces into little pieces, and then put it all together to make something that’s warm, comfortable and practical, but also a true and beautiful work of art. They’re patient - the ‘work’ they do is meticulous, demanding care and precision, because every stitch is part of a new work of art. And they tend to be happier too. The satisfaction they derive from their
work is enormous, especially when they see their handiwork being put to use! So what makes Tuesdays so important? That’s the day that many of the Island’s Quilters of every level come together in one place, to help each other with their individual projects, and to focus their collective talents on doing good things for their community. They call it ‘Community Quilting’ and it’s catching!

Three Tuesdays a month, the first, second and fourth, Norah and her fellow quilting friends – and there are many! – meet at the Hilton Beach Community Hall. The 3rd Tuesday of each month, they meet at the Dr. Trefry Centre in Richards Landing. ‘Community Quilting’ is an activity, not a “club”. Anyone and everyone is welcome, even if just to visit and watch. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner wanting to learn or an expert willing to help and teach, the only thing you need is an interest Continued on next page

in quilting. Being able to help do so much for others is a bonus. Although the actual “membership” varies up and down, any particular Tuesday will usually see 10 to 12 Quilters come out. “The time we spend is great fun, and the company is wonderful!” beams Norah. “In addition to what we’re each doing ourselves, we help each other and give each other ideas. We also ‘sandwich’ other peoples’ quilts for them. Today, we’re each working on our own quilts, and pitching in to help Norma with her ‘fractured nine patch’ project!”
SHANIA TWANG SHOW & DANCE!
The “products” they produce are truly wonderful and every single thing they make gets put to good use. They donate their quilt work to any worthy cause, where someone can benefit from it. Cathy Miller, a quilter and songwriter, coined the term a “Quilter’s Embrace” for the special gift given to someone in need.
On Saturday, May 23, from 8 pm to midnight, Legion Branch 374 will be hosting a full costume Tribute Show and Dance, featuring the wonderful song stylings of ‘Shania Twang’. Come out and enjoy her enjoyable and captivating repertoire of Shania Twain songs, and also featuring the music of Stevie Nicks and the Blues Brothers!
The group donates lap quilts to senior folks battling cancer, or recovering from illness or an operation. “All in all, we’ve probably made more than 200 quilts in the past 7 years. We’ve sent many of them to residents of Light Haven and Algoma Manor.” smiles Norah. “Many of the recipients have never had a quilt of their own. The look on their faces is more than a great reward to us!”
It will surely be a show to remember! Snacks of popcorn, pretzels and potato chips will also be available. Tickets are now on sale at $10. each at Ambeault’s Confectionary, Kent’s Corners and the Legion Branch 374. But don’t delay! We can only guarantee 150 seats, so get your tickets early! Royal Canadian Legion Branch 374 St. Joseph Island
In addition to creating beautiful lap quilts, the group regularly donates “Chemo Caps” for cancer patients being treated at the Sault Area Hospital, as well as right here at Matthews Memorial Hospital. ‘Community Quilting’ is also self-sustaining. They largely rely on donations of material for their work. “We’re so grateful to everyone for all the material that they donate to us. We welcome anything useful – especially cotton fabric, which is best for quilting! We’re also so grateful to the Village of Hilton Beach, for giving us the use of the Hall and the cupboard in which to store our material, and to the Dr. Trefry Centre.” Continued on next page Page 2
The group usually has a table at every Women’s Institute Quilt Show, where they can exhibit and sell their work, to raise money to buy backing and batting materials. So when and how was ‘Community Quilting’ created? In Norah’s words, “It just evolved! I started out by quilting with a few others for the company. One thing led to another, and suddenly we found ourselves teaching and The Group, the day the Clippings visited. doing workshops. Now we’re So, if you have an interALL hooked! It’s truly a labour of love” she smiles. est in quilting, sharing some terrific company, and doing great things for others, you should find out more about Getting help with mitering a ‘Community Quilting’!

Maybe Carol Smith sums it up best: “Quilting really is a labour of love, and ‘Community Quilting’ is truly a Band of Incredible Women!” The 21st Annual Clover Valley and Richards Landing WI Quilt Show will be held on July 31, August 1 & 2, 2009 at the St. Joseph Island Central School in Richards Landing. This year’s show is expected to showcase more than 200 quilts and wall hangings. A tea room will also be available.

Island Insight In praise of MMH I am so grateful that we have Matthews Memorial Hospital in our community. Recently I have suffered from two kidney stones. At MMH I was treated quickly and made as comfortable as could be. This happened in early morning hours, 3 days in a row. If I’d had to travel to the Sault each time and had to wait in the ER it would have been unbearable. Ultimately I was flown to Timmins and treated by Dr. Hares. I would like to thank the nurses, the doctors, Verna and Maria at MMH. The ambulance crews & the Air Bravo Crews were wonderful. I don’t know what I would do without the Sabines, the Reads, Lisa, Joanne and my family, Thanks. Thanks for the cards, calls, flowers and prayers. Dawn Tweedle
Response to Mike Brown’s news release of May 2, 2009 published in the Clippings. As part of the group from the area that attended the NE LHIN meeting, I came away with a very different view than MPP Brown. Ron Gagnon showed he is capable of cutting anything to prevent the province from taking over operations. The guy has a gun to his head so what should we expect? Mr. Brown does not seem to realize that cuts will affect patient care. It makes no difference if you cut off a toe or a finger; we are still going to bleed.
Cutting full time nurse positions, and replacing them with part time was tried before and we lost a lot of talented people who moved to other areas. They are already under-staffed and stressed out. Why do you think they have a problem with overtime? Mr. Gagnon is going to have a turnover in staff worse than WalMart. Closing beds to save money is a ridiculous suggestion. Sault hospital is already over capacity, and has been for a long time. Maybe they should have just built the new hospital like the ESSAR center without rooms and they could just line up the beds in rows. How can this possibly not affect health care? Mr. Gagnon stated clearly that the status quo for Matthews was not an option. Anything less means no more 24-hour emergency service. I don’t share Mr. Brown’s optimism. I think we still have a huge fight on our hands. The Sault Area Hospital Board has no choice but to cut. The NE LHIN has no authority to increase funding. So the responsibility falls to MPPs Mike Brown, David Orizetti, Minister of Health David Caplin, and Premier Dalton McGuinty. I have written to these four and pledged to work against them in the next election if Matthews closes. This is not antiLiberal; it’s simply the only way we can put enough pressure on them to get the result we must have.

THIS SPRING RESIDENTS of St. Joseph Island are making a difference in the lives of Canadians with disabilities by participating in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. St. Joseph Island is just one of the many locations set to host a Walk on Saturday, May 30th at Kent’s Corners. There is no registration fee and people of all fitness levels, ages and abilities are invited to participate.
Our national sponsors for this year include: Nestlé Purina PetCare, Air Canada Kids’ Horizons, OMNI, Via Rail Canada, Urban Advertising and Design, Paul Boddum, Jim Craigmyle and Dogs in Canada. Thanks to our sponsors one hundred percent of the proceeds from the Walk go directly toward Lions Foundation of Canada and its Dog Guide programs.
The Purina Walk for Dog Guides is the Lions Foundation of Canada’s largest fundraising event. This event helps the Foundation match deserving Canadians with Dog Guides. “We look forward to the Walk every year,” says Lion Robert Kerr, organizer of the St. Joseph Island Walk. “With the support of people in and around our community we can all help Canadians with disabilities achieve or maintain a safe and independent lifestyle.”
Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides is a national charity whose mission is to provide service to Canadians with disabilities in the areas of mobility, safety and independence. Lions Foundation of Canada has provided specially trained Dog Guides to more than 1,300 men, women and children since 1983.
Since 1985, Walks in communities across Canada have collectively raised close to 6 million dollars in support of Dog Guide training programs. Each Dog Guide costs approximately $20,000 to raise and train yet they are provided to each eligible candidate at no cost. Join other Canadians along with your furry friend this spring and participate in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. Help continue to provide Dog Guides to other deserving Canadians.
nnie Rockin’ Ro! LIVE at your place! Call 246-3652 to book YOUR event and let the good times roll! Page 8
The Lions Foundation of Canada trains four types of Dog Guides - Canine Vision Dog Guides, providing assistance to people who are blind or visually impaired; Hearing Ear Dog Guides, for people who are deaf or hard of hearing; Special Skills Dog Guides, providing assistance to Canadians with physical disabilities; and Seizure Response Dog Guides, helping Canadians with epilepsy. For more information, call Robert Kerr at 246-1963 or visit www.purinawalkfordogguides.com.

band threw out the installation CDs by mistake. We can plug the printer in and our computer recognizes the printer but the printer refuses to print. Help!
YOU BE THE BOSS! Modern service centre on busy TransCanada Hwy at Bruce Mines on Lake Huron's north shore. Self serve Esso gas bar, variety store with lotto terminal and home-cooking-style restaurant drawing local trade and travellers. Two large apartments for owner staff or extra rentals. Fantastic opportunity as the Seller needs to sell and is offering to assist financing to qualified buyers.
BUILDING SUPPLY AND HARDWARE! Large modern retail and office area, 3 warehouses, workshop on 4 acre site. Associated with National Buying Group for bulk discounts and advertising. Good highway exposure and large trading area on St. Joseph Island and the north shore. Ideal business for anyone interested in raising a family and owning a business in a rural setting.
BAKERY AND TEA ROOM! Located on high visibility corner as you enter St. Joseph Island from the bridge. Turn key operation that includes land, building, all fixtures and equipment and has established clientele. No other bakery on the island. Large retail and baking areas and ideal for promoting maple products that the island is famous for.
Butkovich & Associates Office: 705-942-6000
ANSWER: Contact the retailer where you purchased this printer. Surely, a sales representative there should be able to replace the missing installation CDs. Or, if you have highspeed Internet, visit the manufacturer’s web site, and you will find the latest printer drivers available for downloading. My preference is a quick visit to the manufacturer’s web site. To find the support area, Google the following keywords: “HP support” for Hewlett Packard, “Canon support” for Canon, “Epson support” for Epson, and so forth. Computer peripherals are abundant, so be very specific. From the selection lists, choose printer category, not scanner or camera. Within the printer category, select the model number. Manufacturers provide trouble-shooting tips, manuals, and up-to-date drivers within a support area. Depending on how the buttons are labeled, select drivers, driver downloads, or simply downloads. Your computer’s most important component is the Operating System, the big kahuna. To confirm your computer’s OS, go to Control Panel, System, General. If the Operating System is 64-bit, this will be identified here as well. Choose carefully from the mixture of Windows, Macintosh, and Linux drivers. For example, if your computer runs Windows XP Home Edition or Professional without 64-bit enhancement, choose the download for WinXP. Save the driver installation file to the Desktop. Once the download has completed, click on the saved file to begin the actual installation. It’s important to make sure that the printer is NOT connected to your computer. The printer installation program will advise you at the appropriate time to turn on the printer and plug into the computer. Unplug and wait for the prompt. Follow through the complete installation, and then click Finish. Go to the Control Panel, Printers to view the entire printer group. Delete any older printers and virtual printers leaving only the newly installed printer as the default printer. In the Printer window, right click on the new printer, left click Properties, and click on Print Test Page button. At any time, go to Control Panel, Printers to diagnose printer problems. Printer status should be “ready” with zero print jobs in the printing queue. Windows is well known for inadvertently changing your normal default printer. Remember that your standard printer must display a check mark designating that printer as the one to process print requests. Congratulations! You have successfully installed your printer.
