The sixth annual Jack Lake Kids Fishing Derby was held on the first saturday after the Canada Day Weekend - on Saturday, July 9th. The morning started with rain but did not deter the 101 anglers aged 4 to 12, along with their adult sponsors, to compete for the prizes awarded for the biggest fish of each species. All fish are caught and released.
The highlights for this year’s event were presenta-tions on boating and water safety from the OPP Marine Unit and an animal display and discus-sion from the Scales Nature Park, sponsored by Tucker’s Marine.
Every participant was given a “goodie bag” with a hat, t-shirt, sunglasses and fishing information. The Apsley Lions club provided a hot dog and soda lunch for each angler compliments of Food-land.
This local event, known as part of the Kids, Cops & Canadian Tire Fishing Days is sponsored by the
Jack Lake Association and the Bob Izumi Founda-tion; see www.kidsandcops.ca. The Apsley com-munity also supports this event with prizes and funding from: Anchorage Marina; Apsley Home Hardware Building Center; Apsley Lions Club; Apsley Voice; Clark Breuls – Re/Max; Gray Land-scape & Construction; Anthony Halcovitch – Jack Lake Bowes & Cocks; Kawartha Cottage Wear; Kemps Shell Station; Marvel Rapids Golf Course; Sayers Foodland; Sew Perfect; & Tucker’s Marine.

On the Water with Rick DanielsThese lazy, hazy, days of summer are great for fishing but not necessarily great for catching fish. The optimum time for fishing is fall.
You can still do quite well in the summer but keep in mind a few summer time tips. If you’re fishing during the weekend on a busy lake close to a main navigation route, you probably won’t do very well. Try to find a spot a little off the beaten water path with less boat traffic. Don’t be afraid to get right on top of the shoals with your presentation, they are a great hang out for small mouth bass who don’t seem to be effected as dramatically by the heat as other species.
If you’re on foot, a little farther walk away from the boating crowd may just yield more fish.
There is an optimum feeding temperature for fish. When it gets hotter or cooler, then it affects the way the fish feed. As the water warms up, the fish head for deeper, cooler water.
On these hot days use smaller bait and slow your presenta-tion down.
I’ve written many times on the effectiveness of live bait. This fact is even more prevalent in the hot summer. It is very hard for a fish to turn up a juicy minnow if you drag it past his nose.
Along with live bait, there is an artificial bait that I find almost as good as the real thing; “Berkeley Gulp Alive”. It appears to be a foam rubber type artificial, soaked in a secret liquid. I find a good way to fish these in the summer is to simply drift them across the lake as you would a minnow or worm. The key is here to only use the same one for no more than ½ hour as they seem to lose their potency. Just put it back in the jar to rejuvenate and grab another. You can even reform the head and tail of the chewed up ones with an exacto knife.
I have good luck on that hot, calm day by tipping a banana style jig with a worm, minnow or Gulp Alive and driving right down through a deep, thick weed bed. You may have to
put up with a few more weeds on your hook but the rewards will be worth it.
Get rid of the terminal tackle also, you only need it for big walleye or Muskie.
Remember, if you’re fishing on a really calm, bright day, you can see the fish and they can see you. So jumping around in the boat and load noise should be kept to a minimum. Some anglers even think bright clothes will spook the fish.
Your fishing tends to improve on a slightly windy day when there’s about a 6” chop on the water.
On hot days, an inexperienced angler can get dehydrated, se-verely burnt or even end up with heat stroke. Make sure you have sunscreen and plenty of water on hand – and use it.
Happy Fishing!

OUR FRIENDLY LITTLE HOUSE SPARROWS
House Sparrows – also known as English Sparrows because many were
brought from England – were released in c. 1850 New York and c. 1870 Southern On-tario – primarily in hopes that they would be an insect-control agent.
This was the era of horses and those Spar-rows thrived in urban and country areas on both spilled grain and seeds in horse manure. By 1886 they were in North Bay! When horses were replaced by motor-ized vehicles, their numbers declined and began to balance out with other species. They are really not Sparrows – they are Weaver Finches, weaving plant fibers, straw, string etc. to make their untidy nests but those nests work. They are intel-ligent, adaptable, like to live near humans, rather tame.
I have a male House Sparrow that visits my balcony regu-larly, unafraid of me as he searches for bugs to eat. They eat insects, spiders, caterpillars, berries and especially like grain seeds and bread. They defend only their nests, not a territory so are often nesting colonially and spending time together on the ground in friendly groups, eating or in branches together having a rest. Those nests are used year after year with sev-eral broods per year.
As with other non-migrating species, they are able to get an early start even as early as March! When courting, the male fans out his tail and drops his wings in front of the female. They nest in any cavity; in bird houses; a few on tree branches. At my apartment building, they have found the cavity on the inside of the over-hang at our front entrance and come each year to nest.
In the Fall, they molt to fresh plumage which is edged with gray that slowly wears off so that by Spring, the males are in their bright breeding plumage – winter’s yellow bill is now black; black bib, lovely grey crown and white cheeks. Female and young are drab and have no black throat – blend-ing with Nature’s colours is safer. If water is not available, they frequently “bathe” in dust. Dust absorbs excess oil and dirt and controls feather lice and other parasites. I like those busy, happy, chirping House Sparrows and hope that you do, too.
Don’t forget to watch the Perseid Meteor Showers – best on August 12, 2016 when you can see up-to 150 per hour!

A Feast for the SensesApsley Autumn Studio Tour 2016
By Rachel Conlin
There’s no doubt that technology now governs our lives. In many ways it has made our lives easier, made things more accessible. We power up, turn on, click, and swipe and the world is there at our fingertips; mass produced, noisy, always engaged. Many of us have become so caught up in keeping up that we have either lost or have no time for actual creation. And yet some of us won’t give up on the creation process ... we are the artisans. We can’t turn on with a click and mass produce items without meaning. Artisans are individuals who have a talent to create items which convey their enthusiasm for the love of their craft. Some of these artisans are fortunate enough to belong to the Apsley Autumn Studio Tour.
The Apsley Autumn Studio Tour began in 1994 with 13 artists at 10 different locations within the Apsley area. They were a group of dedicated people, led by Molly Moldovan, Rosslyn Reed and June Harris, who wished to display not only their talent, but to open their homes, studios and workshops for the public to view once a year during the fall season. The tradition of the Apsley Stu-dio Tour has continued despite the changes technology has brought into our lives. On the contrary, the Apsley Autumn Studio Tour flourishes. People are thirsting, like never before, for something they don’t want to lose. They want to appreciate the effort that goes into the handiwork and art of items that are created with such talent and care. Sadly it is a skill that technology greatly overshadows in today’s world.
This year there are 24 artisans at 17 studio loca-tions on the Apsley Autumn Studio Tour. They will open their studios, homes and workshops for the public on the weekend of September 17 & 18 inviting all to view their work and in many cases you may experience how their art is created. The varied talents on the tour make it not only a distinguished art tour, but one of much interest. Along with visual arts in a variety of mediums, there is stained glass, nuno felting, glass art, jewellery, metal sculpture, fabric art, pottery, wood carving, stone sculpture and artisan wool. All offering unique perspec-tives into the skills and talents required to produce such wonderful items.
Take an hour, an afternoon, or even the weekend and make it a point to participate in this special event. Go for a scenic rural drive, choose one or two studios to visit, or see them all. Stop along the way for a picnic or at a local eatery. Take the time, take it all in and treasure the experience of the Apsley Autumn Studio Tour like never before.

Paramedics Update
At a sparsely attended public presentation on July 11, Deputy Chief Don Oettinger confirmed that Paramedics will continue their bypass protocol which allows patients with non-life threatening conditions and specific care requirements to bypass Bancroft and go directly to Peterborough.
Without this, Bancroft patients may be trans-ferred east – to Belleville, Trenton or King-ston – which is much further away from Aps-ley than Peterborough. This arrangement, brokered by the Paramedics and NK Mayor Rick Woodcock, also recognizes that many patients have previous medical relationships in Peterborough which can improve the continuity of their ongoing health care.

Bev’s garden is showing its many colored splendor once again this year. I know the mechanics of how she does it, as I have assisted her in the planting and dividing of roots and so on, but I do not know how she gets all these things to blossom at different times and in such harmonious colour combinations. It all starts early on, then new things keep popping up once those pre-ceding them are past their peak, and not only that, but the colours keep changing, and things grow to different heights, it is just amazing. We now have no front lawn as there are only flowers, shrubs and now vegetables growing between where we park and where the house lies. If we stay here much longer, I fear the whole five acres is going to become flower gardens, with little spots of grass for chairs and benches here and there which I will have to mow. Life is hard isn’t it? It’s good thing I love the gardens almost as much as Bev does.
What I am not particularly fond-of, is having a year like this where it seems like everything mechanical we own has broken down, not just once, but in some cases sev-eral times. I know I hold on to things till they are past their prime and I do indeed derive great satisfaction in the repairing of things others would be only too happy to throw out. But there also comes a time when even I get fed up with fixing things over and over again. As a result of this happening once too often this year, I have promised Bev that I am going to cut down my collection of old stuff, (now working just fine by the way). I have ordered some parts from England to finish yet another project so that will have to be enough to keep me satisfied. Just one project at a time, in other words, this should keep Bev happy and that will keep me happy as well.
Glen Alda Seniors Report by Doug Field
A friendly, active and open group.
The Glen Alda Seniors July outdoor cookout on the 13th was well attended, some folks sitting and eating outdoors, with the bulk of the crowd eating indoors due to the high heat and humidity. We tried some hot Juicy Jumbo dogs which went over well. I was wondering if the hot version of the otherwise bland large hot dogs would be too much for some, but received nothing but compliments on the tasty dogs, salads, fixings, and the large variety of dessert snacks brought by our mem-bers. As I am writing this on the 16th, I am assuming that the meal for the 27th which will feature hamburg-ers, sausages, and more hot juicy jumbo’s, will be as much a success as the meal on the 13th. There were no scheduled speakers this month, but our members often have the opportunity to make a contribution if they are of the outspoken variety, or better still, have a funny tale to relate.
August is the last month where we plan on eating outdoors at the Glen Alda Seniors meetings, except of course for the much enjoyed outing to Liz Johnston’s cottage in September. This August, we are planning to have lots of fresh picked corn at our meals as well as the usual bar-b-q staples of hamburgers, sausages and hot dogs. We keep things simple in this Club so no kebabs, steaks, ribs, and so on - as we keep our meal costs to $3.00 per person so that everyone can come out and join us even if you are on a budget. Like what you are reading? Give our President Barry Rand a call at 705-656-1850 and tell him or Sally that you would like to join us. We are a friendly active and open group.

Why have a Garden I have a photo I often show, of how did my last
year’s garden growOne year ago this week, it grew with Peonies
and Lilacs tooThe Grass was green and full and lush while
now it’s brown and in no rush Methinks the climate plays its tricks El Nino
turned each shrub to sticks
But still we rake and hoe and till, my brave Wis-teria shows its will
From leafy runners to bloom they bound, each purplish floral dancing gown
The Hosta’s late but now in leaf, the Lupins came - what a relief
Perhaps we’ll have a summer fine without the feel of Spring’s cold whine
Each year a garden will surprise its arcs of col-our treat the eyes
No season shows like one before, it’s always new, it’s always more
No garden will your heart up-tic unless it’s bound by green grass thick
That palette made of flower and lawn shows best when seen in misty dawn
Some gardens to which I could allude are gar-dened by folks in the nude
Why that is so I cannot claim but the tended plants bloom just the same
From grand tomatoes, and fat blueberries to Daisies, Iris, the specie varies
What ere we grow it’s done with heart and na-ture lets us play a part.
Just tip toe through the tulips or whatever it is you care to nurse
You’ll fuel your spirits greatly and happily ex-haust your purse.

Did you know?
South Burleigh DairyThe South Burleigh Dairy Company Ltd. was es-tablished in 1900. As any form of refrigeration at that time was poor, small autonomous or coop-eratively-run cheese factories were established throughout the rural districts to process milk. Milk was collected from farmers and processed into excellent cheddar cheese which would keep much longer than fresh milk, providing cheese for the farm families or for cash sale.
Nearly 30 farmers in South Burleigh owned cows at the time. Most of these farmers financed the Cooperative at $25 per share. The frame cheese factory was erected on the Burleigh Road beside Holy Trinity Church.
A qualified cheese maker was hired during the milk flow season from May 1 to October 31. Three “drawers of milk” were hired to collect the milk early each morning from the farms.
All of the farmers raised Yorkshire Pigs and were entitled to collect their share of residual whey from the cheese factory in order to feed their pigs this nourishing liquid. In 1911 a small but comfortable house was built by Hilliard Reid to house the cheese maker. This dairy company operated until the depression caused its closure in 1933. The old factory was demolished in 1950.

Canada Day #149 in ApsleyPhotos and Report by Jim O’Shea
The weather forecast called for late afternoon rain and at the official parade start time of 4:00 o’clock, the clouds thundered, skies opened and Apsley was power-washed. The parade was on hold.
This parade was, for practical purposes, washed-out. However, a few brave souls were going to have their time in the sun, I mean rain and after about 30 min-utes, the Parade headed along Burleigh Street. The Legion members and pipe band valiantly marched and the sign-covered floats, less the intended revel-ers, rolled along followed by an umbrella covered golf cart, four wheelers, and the Algonquin Shrine Club (see photos). The fire trucks were reserved for the V.I.P’s - Liberal MP Maryam Monsef, Mayor Rick Woodcock and Deputy Mayor Doug Hutton. Meanwhile, I was on the Haa-Choo porch taking rain soaked photos.
Once the rain stopped, the parade survivors finished at the Lions Park for a healthy BBQ dinner and the Tradi-tional Canada Day cake cutting by our new MP Maryam Monsef , Mayor Rick Woodcock and Deputy Mayor Doug Hutton.

Report by the NK Police Services BoardJune 2016
The Police Services Board held a Regular Meeting on May 5th, 2016. The following is an overview of the discussion and excerpts from the Minutes.
There were several topics discussed which relate to safety issues on Burleigh St. through Apsley.
Generally it was agreed that more needs to be done to reduce the number of concerns around the condition of sidewalks, the sharp bend in the center of town and related poor site lines for pedestrians and drivers under certain cir-cumstances, designation and enforcement of parking spots, the speed of many vehicles and related speed limit zones, the lack of a designated “School Zone”. The goal would be to protect the safety of our children when on their way back and forth to school, when they are at play and pedestrians when crossing the road.
Selected excerpts from the minutes:
Enforcement of Parking By-Laws:There was a discussion about the OPP being “able to en-force the municipal parking by-law” in all areas, the hash marks on the pavement, the signage and public educa-tion”. A Motion was approved “That the North Kawartha Police Services Board ask the OPP and County of Peter-borough Public Works to review the No Parking signage in order to enforce parking violations”.
Enforcement on Noise By-Law: The OPP will enforce the Noise By-Law. Municipal By-Law Enforcement Officers can also enforce the Noise By-Law.
Radar Board: The radar board has been repaired and is ready to be deployed.
Rick Woodcock, Chair, Police Services Board, NK Township

Responses to July’s letter from WS Thomas:
To the Editor:
Although I never agree with Mr. Richardson’s written opinions, I defend his right to voice his thoughts be they local or international. Mr. W.S. Thomas needs to remem-ber the comments made recently by his American president regarding the British decision to separate from the European Common Market. Americans have a history of involving themselves in other nation’s affairs, Vietnam, Iran to name a few. Mr. Thomas when you live in a glass house it is best to not throw stones.
Garnet Nelson, Eel’s Lake
Re. Barrie P. Richardson’s Anti-American Articles.
The Apsley Voice is publishing articles from Mr. Rich-ardson that project his anti-American and anti-Trump opinions. I concur with WS Thomas in his July letter to the Editor, that this publication is not an appropri-ate forum for such articles. Do your readers really want to read about wasted soldier’s sacrifices, terror-ism, war, killing and American politics? While Rich-ardson is certainly entitled to his opinions, they simply don’t belong in a local community paper. There are plenty of forums on the internet to spew them and I suggest he share his anti-Americanism there.
I have my own opinions on these issues but I will not impose them on your readership who would probably just like to take a quiet break while reading the Apsley Voice to catch up on the comings and goings of their neighbors and friends.
Great paper, great articles, great advertisements ... heading in the wrong direction.
Gwen Galster
P.S. Go Trump!! Hillary for Prison!!
In response to W S Thomas:
You suggest that the Apsley Voice restrict itself to “worthwhile local news”. Perhaps you were thinking of yard sales? Bake sale fundraisers?
It appears to me that you never read Canadian News-papers while you vacation on Jacks Lake. Or perhaps you skim over the parts that disturb you. Every major publication in Canada - and many smaller ones - have written opinion pieces on the current American po-litical situation. Although many Americans appear to have little interest in Canadian politics, Canadians are hugely invested in political outcomes in the US. Everything that your government does has an effect on Canada, creating a natural interest and curiosity on the part of many Canadians. In the case of the current electoral campaign, it also creates worry, horror, and, quite frequently, side-splitting laughter.
The world as a whole considers Donald Trump to be an egotistical, ignorant, misogynistic, bigoted racist fool. He is the subject of derisive humour on late night talk shows, political shows, newscasts. Trump has featured prominently and frequently in many editorial cartoons. The fact that he is being taken seriously as a candidate for president of the USA has done your country a huge disservice; it will prove to be the destruction of the Republican Party.
It’s difficult to take seriously a country that would even think of Trump as having the intelligence and experi-ence to guide the USA through the next four years. America is quickly being reduced to a laughing-stock, an ongoing joke, with Trump as the punchline.
Enjoy your peaceful summer of avoidance on Jack’s Lake. To paraphrase a line from a popular television series, “Fall is coming.” And with it, the election.
Sincerely, Molly Moldovan

Last month’s letter to the editor by W.S. Thomas re-ally calls for a moderate answer.
Canada has often described itself as a mouse sleeping next to an elephant. Any twitches or changes of position in Amer-ica can affect Canada in very direct and significant ways.
This writer spends a great deal of time monitoring the news from all over the world and it keeps me relatively informed about life outside Apsley, Ontario and Canada. Having spent much time in the USA in my business and personal capacities, I feel that as a friend I can offer a viewpoint that concerns societal, political and economic events in my friend’s nation. Sometimes that ‘advice’ will come in a tone that is more alarmist than cool. I could re-set my tone somewhat, but not my message.
Since 9/11, [a horrible event that garnered sympathy and support from my country], there have been many events and acts by high profile personalities that often bring alarm to Americans AND their friends. I firmly be-lieve that Donald Trump would be a menace to his own nation, as well as their neighbors and allies. Inasmuch as I have been following his alleged campaign since the first Primary, I am perhaps more informed about Ameri-can politics than most Canadians and certainly more informed about what concerns Canadians than are most Americans. That is why I believe I have a right to express my opinion to whomever will read or listen, despite the fact that our Constitution does not have a First Amend-ment.
I am not anti-American. The USA exists as a shining ex-ample of how power eventually falls to the people and how marvelously liberty and self-determination have been protected by their Constitution. Nevertheless my opinion on Donald Trump stands.

Oh boy, did Canada Day ever turn out soggy and wet! We had it all, thunder, lightning, wind and rain. We did delay starting the parade hoping that the storm would blow over but unfortunately it remained a very wet and sog-gy night. I would like to thank everyone who actually turned out to participate in the parade and especially thank everyone who braved the weather to watch it. We did manage to have a cake cutting ceremony with our Member of Parliament, Maryam Monsef and Rick Woodcock our Mayor but the fireworks were cancelled due to the inclement weather. We will be setting off the fireworks on Sunday, July 31st in the Lions Park so mark your calendars and come on out and watch them. I would also like to thank Celebrate Canada for the grant they gave us to help offset some of our expenses. As I write this, we are busily setting up for our Annual Giant Indoor Flea Market. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the North Kawartha Fire Department and Chief Jesse Lambe for all the help they gave us moving all the goodies from the Lions Park to the NKCC. Thank you to everyone who donated their gently used items for our sale. We will once again be offering a whole arena full of stuff!
Have you purchased your tickets for the RCMP Musical Ride on Monday, September 5th? This is a very exciting project for our Club and Jack Nelson is doing an amazing job getting everything set up. The ride will be in the Lions Park and starts at 10:30 am with our preshow entertainment. We need to have everyone in the park before the ride starts and they have promised that they will start promptly at 12:00 pm. Tickets are $5.00 if purchased before the show and $7.00 at the gate.
Don’t forget our weekly bingo on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm at the NKCC. Come on out for some fun!
Don’t forget – FIREWORKS ARE SUNDAY, JULY 31ST AT DUSK!
Lions Report August 2016 By Brenda Lenson THE BRIDGE
REPORTby Bob Sutton
How can Bridge be such a difficult game to play? Let me point out a few things for you to dwell on while defending. First, there are 40 points in the whole deck. Second, after the contract has been reached, you and your partner are looking at 26 out of 52 cards. Then, count your points, plus what you see on the table and subtract from 40, which is what is left with your opposition. Wasn’t that easy! Another point about defense is to lead through strength; for example, A, Q, 10, 8, 6. Or, lead to weakness; for example, 2, 6, 7, 9. Finally, avoid leading an unsupported Ace. Next month, I will discuss making your contract. Remember, have fun at the table.
See you on Fridays at the Apsley Legion from 1 to 4 p.m. For further information contact Bob at 705-656-9401.

North Kawartha’s Senior of the Year Story + Photo By Jim O’Shea
On June 21st, North Kawartha Council presented Alice Liberty with the provincially sponsored 2016 Senior Citizen of the Year Award.
Alice is an extremely active member of the North Kawartha community and an enthusiastic fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research. She has received the Top Fundraiser Award for the past 10 years. Alice, along with the top fundraising team, known as the Women of Apsley, have raised $144,000.00 for breast cancer research. Each year, Alice also participates in the C.I.B.C. Run for the Cure and has been the Women of Apsley Team Captain since 2001.
Alice has been a line dance instructor since the year 2000 and teaches line dancing to the ABC Seniors. For the past seven years, Alice’s line dancing club has hosted a Dancing for Hope fundraiser for breast cancer research, with over one hundred line dancers arriving from across Central Ontario.
Alice never slows down. On Saturdays during the summer, she conducts special breast cancer Tag Days at the local Foodland and LCBO, and collects scrap metal, wine/beer bottles, plus beer and pop cans with
Bringing the Voices of the Kawarthas to You Page 17
all the proceeds going to breast cancer research. In addition, Alice volunteers for the Lucky Loonie Night to raise funds for the Apsley Food Bank, and she always participates as a very colourful and energetic clown in the Apsley Lions Canada Day and Christmas Parades.
Alice’s enthusiasm is contagious, and she is a wonder-ful representative for North Kawartha’s 2016 Senior of the Year. Below: Alice Liberty + Mayor Rick Woodcock.

By Jennifer David, Communications Director, FFW
On September 13th, the four-week Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing regarding the Fraser Property at Burleigh Falls begins at the Wilson Park Community Centre in Woodview. At the heart of this hearing is the fate of a rare, wetland-rich, culturally significant, bio-diverse habitat known as the Fraser Estate.
It’s a case most people in the region are by now famil-iar with. The Burleigh Bay Corporation wants to install 60 lots on the property, in addition to roads, a commu-nity centre, parking, a condo administration building, a pool, tennis courts and a marina. The Friends of the Fraser Wetlands (FFW), a group dedicated to preserv-ing the water quality and the natural and cultural herit-age of Stony Lake, stand in opposition to the develop-ment proposal, as does the Curve Lake First Nation. Both are Parties in the upcoming OMB Hearing along with North Kawartha Township whose council voted in 2015 to deny the developer’s application to amend the Zoning By-law and the Township Official Plan.
As representatives of a large number of full-time and seasonal residents on Stoney Lake and its surround-ing communities, including several lake associations, FFW is well acquainted with the lengthy catalogue of concerns about the Burleigh Bay Corporation’s de-velopment plan. High on the list: irreparable damage
to the two extensive Provincially Significant Wetland Complexes that define both the interior of the property and much of its shoreline. Once lost, these essential wetlands would be gone forever – and with them, the remarkably rich diversity of plant and animal species they support, including the at-risk Blanding’s turtle.
Both federal and provincial policies promote wetland protection as a high priority – one that it is incumbent upon all levels of government to uphold.
Other concerns include the effect of the proposed de-velopment on lake water quality and quantity – a factor vital to the continued economic health of the region – sewage disposal, storm water management, an inad-equate aquifer, the development’s economic viability, non-compliance with both provincial and municipal policy, and evidence indicating First Nations’ occupa-tion and the property’s significance as an historical cultural landscape.
Our local councils have an enormous responsibility. Sustainable development of the area’s recreational, tourism and economic potential will depend on how we value and protect its most vulnerable assets.
In order to support this vital work, FFW is hosting a live and silent art auction on Saturday, August 27th, at the Sunset Pavilion, Crowe’s Landing, Upper Stoney. Highlights of the auction include a singular “art” canoe (a vintage, mint-condition canvas and cedar canoe decorated by Curve Lake artist Mike Ormsby) and the diverse work of 100 local, national and First Nations artists – among them, nature and wildlife artist Michael Dumas, a member of the worldwide organization Artists for Conservation, who will deliver an opening address. Music aficionados won’t want to miss internationally celebrated violinist Jeanne Lamon (formerly the Music Director of Tafelmusik for 33 years) and cellist Christina Mahler performing in the historic Sunset Pavilion.
