Lighthouse Bill has been in Southampton doing some work on the Imperial Tower on Chantry Island. He does specialty work with his crew on Lighthouses across the world. Many of his contracts are on Islands and he needs a sturdy little craft to take his crew and equipment out in harsh weather. After experience with other vessels, Bill decided to build the little craft shown above. It looks somewhat like a Stanley aluminum, but is much more practical due to its sturdy steel construction. It is about 24 feet long and has a 150HP motor. It can be beached and carry a big load. All he needs is a big central boom... Bill's a fun guy! Nov 1, 2008

A Victoria BC reader of the Saugeen Times sends this window into Butchart Gardens Oct 26, 2008 Met a skilled tradesman friend in the grocery store. He is booked until next fall with work for a crew of 4. He likes his work and is glad he selected it as a trade and is his own boss. He's been at it for years. He does not just send his employees out, he works with them making his day fun and short. He shared a common theme that he thinks many people working for large organizations are dehumanized and hate to go into work every day, but are trapped by the pay and the 'security'. Oct 25, 2008

The only railway tracks for miles 'round Train travel should come back. It's comfortable and gets you to the core of the area. There is a great train from Port Huron to Chicago that 'lands' you downtown at Union Station. You don't need a car. Oct 19, 2008

Recently the Bluewater School District held its championships at the courts in Southampton. There was no publicity about this event. One wonders why because Tennis is such a popular sport in the area with far more participants over a lifetime than other sports. October 14, 2008

Work on Port Elgin Library Continues. The addition is not quite in the classical tradition of the grand old building in front of it. Why change the motif of rectangles to a circle? Maybe the design will wear well. The Museum did a nice job of a break between the old and the new. This one is not quite there yet. Oct 4, 2008

Hydrant in Jail One of our inveterate readers sent us this photo. What gives? There is Albert Street, the sidewalk, the jail fence and the Hydrant. Has bail been posted? How about early release due to good conduct? There is a nice long red marker on it so our good fire volunteers can see where it is come winter. September 8, 2008\

This family is still enjoying Fairy Lake while others are trying their wings October 14, 2008 On our Out 'n' About mission today we saw a miracle! There is a vast sports field behind G. C. Houston School. There were about 15 young men playing ball hockey on the tarmac. They were having a lot of fun. They had goals set up and even some bench guys who could come in to give the teams a breather. I go there every day and rarely see any use of the field. It has a good ball diamond and even basketball hoops. Of course the Blue Water School Board has signs at the entrances saying that "Unauthorized Use is Prohibited". What a treat to see some teens using the field none the less. It did not cost anything. They enjoyed themselves and it was a beautiful day. October 13, 2008

Grass (Brian Cole) One of the best features of Bruce County is the variety of grasses that grow easily in yards, on the beach and along the road. On the beach they hold the sand. If you examine beaches that are groomed excessively, you'll see a loss of sand and little natural beach grass. Oct 2, 2008

The IPM from 156 Feet -- Wow September 23, 2008 A Tug was hauling a massive pipe load from the Southampton Harbour to south of Chantry Island on Monday. Upon reaching the gap the pipe for the new water intake stretched all the way to mid-beach in Southampton. The Pipe is sealed and it carries its own connections with it. When in place, they will let water into the pipe sinking it. It's quite and engineering job. September 22, 2008 Final tally on the International Plowing match was 84,000 with a final day of 18,000.

It might not feel like fall, but the trees seem to know! September 12, 2008 The days are getting shorter and some of the places in the community are going on shorter hours after a busy summer. We miss some of the hustle and bustle, but it's always nice to return to 'normal'. We are just waiting for that short warm spell when we can feel Lake Huron again. .... you know that sound when you submerge and glide out into the waves. September 9, 2008
