some local history
(by Diane Armstrong)

The Moneta: From the earliest days of Timmins, immigrants from Italy arrived to work in the mines and start businesses in the town. Several owned farms on the outer fringes of the settled area, including Pine Street to the south, Dalton Road and Mountjoy Township to the west and McLean Drive in the north.

A common language and religion brought them together and homes were built near the Moneta Mine,
which was located in Tisdale Township and near the intersection
of Railway and Knox Avenue.
The word 'moneta' in Italian means money and it lent itself to
the name of the neighbourhood.
Eventually the area of town known as The Moneta encompassed
most of the south-east quadrant of the old Town of Timmins.

By 1921, there was a school called Moneta Public School.
Because of its location, it was originally under the authority
of the Tisdale Public School Board, because Tisdale's western
boundary was Mountjoy Street south and McLean Avenue in the
north. The school was later re-named Flora MacDonald, to honour
a well-respected teacher and principal.

One of the earliest social clubs in The Moneta was the Moneta
Recreation Club -
an active organization that promoted language, culture, sports
and recreation in the tight-knit community.
Another fraternal group, The Dante Club, later added to those
activities.
The outlying farms provided meat, milk, eggs and produce for the
many grocery stores located in The Moneta.
Names like Ziliotto, Spadafore, Colavincenzo, Dimarco,
Toffanello, Scullino and Mazucca were found on the grocery stores
and meat markets.
Every service needed, was available to the local residents.
There were barber shops, a dairy, a car dealership, clothing
stores, bakeries, hardware stores and even an ice house that
supplied ice for home refrigeration in the days before electric
refrigerators were commonplace.

Drawn by a common religion, the Italian community built their own
Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church.
In 1950, parish priest Rev. Arthur Cerino wrote and produced a
play, "Our Lady of Fatima".
Diana (Pollon) Hopkins provided a copy of the cast photograph and
a 32 page program that was given to the attendees on the night of
June 25, 1950 at the Palace Theatre.
It contains the familiar family names of many of the Italian
community in Timmins at the time - names like Ferrari, Loreto,
Promane, Marinig, Gentile, Crocco, Giardine, Colameco and
Bernardi - all working together with the play as a common goal.

It's hard not to reminisce as one recalls Dino Leggio as a young
hockey player or Ed DiTulio, a popular trumpet player, or Rita
Zamin, a bookkeeper at Moisley & Ball Drugs or Dorothea Mascioli,
a nurse and choir director.
These few, and at least 70 others, were part of the cast and crew
who delighted the sold-out audience that warm evening in 1950.

The booklet's advertisers bring even more memories.
There is a double ad from Henry Giallonardo which was in both
English - "Henry's Pharmacy, Prescription Specialist, Phone 800,
Prompt Delivery Service" and Italian - "Farmacia di Enrico,
Specialista in Ricette, Telefono 800, Pronto Servizio".
The Fern Cottage advertisement reminded me of the three Zincone
brothers who owned the popular Third Avenue restaurant.
Mascioli Contruction and Timmins Garage still operate today but
under the leadership of another generation, as does Degilio's
Arctic Home Furnishings, formerly Arctic Refrigeration.

Intermarriage and youth out-migration has diminished the presence
of many of the ethnic groups that once formed the backbone of
Timmins, but the Italian community of
The Moneta has remained strong.
Their history, language and culture have been well preserved
through the ties that brought them together so many years ago.

That's my view from Over the Hill.
