Tower of Babel

Tower of Babel...Well...not really but it seemed like it looking down from the top. Could explain why I could not understand the crane operator! (There is a small pun there for people who know their biblical history!) This tower was originally part of the Ontario TVO network for rebroadcasting TVO content in isolated communities in Ontario. This tower came from a former community hall on the East side of Manitoulin Island.  I got it in several hundred pieces which i cleaned the rust and bird poop off after 30 years of exposure to the elements. Oh...did I mention it was slightly bent in places? The 10 tonne hydraulic press to the rescue. So this has been a 2 year project. I was hard to get a boom truck out here that had the reach to erect the tower but today was the day! I had lots of help and 2 hours later it was standing up and bolted down to the base. (5 cubic meters of reinforced concrete) So this tower is 72 feet high with an 8 foot mast to bring the total height to 80 feet. On top is a broad band commercial antenna that will do Ham radio, marine and fire dept frequencies. (144 to 170 mhz) And it provides a mount for the wireless Internet signal which is line of sight. 

 

 

Some notes for the residents and vistors

Robinson Township is home to the hamlet of Silver Water.  As a taxpayer, you may or may not know about this lovely village.  We would like to let you know about some of its features.  Silver Water has a community hall that has two floors and a kitchen that may be rented for group usage (once it is safe to do so).  There is an abundance of books that may be bought with a donation.  The Recreation committee hosts euchre evenings here and there are community dinners and breakfasts here during the year.  Silver Water also has a volunteer fire department which welcomes interested residents. 

We are interested in collecting photographs (online) showing the beauty of our township, so if you are willing to contribute to this collection, please post your photos and include #manitoulinrobinsontownship in your description. This works on the social media, like Facebook and Instagram, because the hashtag (#) in front of a word means that other people can type it into a ‘search’ and the Internet will collect all the photos with that hashtag and display them.  #manitoulinrobinsontownship has already been set up for us on Facebook and Instagram, so we invite users of Twitter to set it up as well.

 

Revenge of the Beavers

 The beavers strike again! Careful driving down the Mason Line to the East...Zombie Beavers have damned up the culverts again. Spare a kind thought for our humble inhabitants of Pristine Point and their spirited battle against one of natures most fearsome rodents.
