Just a stray comment/question that isn't appropriate for the main entry.

>Does anybody know if the name has any meaning behind it ? for some reason my brain want's to call it 'village of hills' but i suspect i am grossly mistaken.

I was told in elementary school (Ockawamick) - though I don't recall details - that it was short for "Phil's Mountain". Who Phil is, I don't know, possibly an early settler.
