His dedication will be missed, but I'm sure his influence will live on for a very long time around Long Point and beyond. I'm sorry for the loss to our community.

I saw a person on a quad a good distance out from St. Williams last night...

I think Long Point's been a pretty ambiguously dynamic place without a constant identity for any real period of human habitation. If we have to pick a spot to stick at as "the Long Point that was" (and ought to be), let's re-open a few casinos and lake front prostitution centres! Haha (Does...

Buddy, Before you lay down any money, you should probably check with your local regulatory agencies about their willingness to issue permission for such a boat ramp in the area that you're thinking about...

Of course sediment flows down Big Creek, that's how water works; but I would suggest that most of the filling is from the glacial till blowing in from everywhere around the point.

I think only one of the passages is going to be "wet", and comparatively speaking, I don't think much silt comes down Big Creek.

Lpgar, I think this is the deadly combination that will come with three passages and the fence line - the closest thing to a McDonalds that a predator will ever get - sit at, or in, one of the passages and eat the things that walk along the fence until they get to a passage.

I agree again (with the bits that are critical of the science)! I'm not sure the science is behind the "eco-passage" idea. I've read some - not a lot - and I've listened to some pretty compelling evidence requiring way more than three culverts if any at all. But as far as process goes, I'm...

I agree. I think that the proposal went through "due process".

Becareful. The winds are supposed to blow the water out of our end of the lake. You won't want to find yourself stranded in the storm.

LOL... Given enough time I can level mountains! ;) I actually do have a friend from Hamilton that was a vegetarian and he couldn't stand to look at the ground I walked on when he found out I hunted. He still doesn't hunt himself, but talks about getting into it alot these days, has been out...

Landlocked, I would say that is an awesome example of what can happen if we shrug off people as being incapable of understanding! The Vancouver Humane Society isn't saying to themselves "we can't explain to people why hunting is wrong"; they got out in the world and made their case - they won a...

No problem. See, you're never too old to learn! ;)

Hanson, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the person or the stuff he's done; I'm talking about the quote. (I do think there are major things wrong with that - despite the warm and fuzzies it gives the people who think they're part of those with understanding.) Actually, I'm very...
