For good measure, the pro-gramme will also include a fried fish dinner with accompanying cham-pagne! Veteran choral director Mar-ty Banghart of Island 1088, who has sung for many summers at the non-denominational services at St. Ursula’s Church on Bear Island, is bringing up to the lake the Deer Creek Chamber Choir, a group of 13 singers from Maryland where she has been active in musical and community organizations for many years. The chamber choir, whose members range from 24-65 years and who sing without accompany-ing instruments except for some vo-cal percussion, performs in various community outreach venues and private parties. It’s also an important part of its parent organization, the Deer Creek Chorale, an intergenerational com-munity choir with a dual mission of bringing quality and eclectic choral repertoire to the greater community as well as giving back to local and global communities. The Chorale

has worked with such clinicians as Simon Carrington, founder of the internationally-known King’s Singers; Z. Randall Stroope, a top composer of contemporary mod-ern choral works; John Rutter and Tom Hall. Tickets for the August 4 concert and dinner will be on sale around the lake in the coming weeks and through the TCF (tel: 705-569-3737). Cocktails will begin at 4:30 PM followed by dinner and the concert. The event will benefit the TCF’s outreach activities and grants throughout the greater Temagami community. Chamber choir selections will range from folk songs, pop songs, spirituals and novelty pieces. As examples, Marty cites “Good Old A Cappella,” “Shenandoah,” “Loch Lomond,” “Ride the Chariot,” “Teddy Bear’s Picnic,” “Can’t Buy me Love,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and “Lonesome Road.

By Justin Metz , TLA Board of Directors - Fish and Wildlife

The TLA is calling on all Loon lovers to assist us with our Loon Nesting Platform Proj-ect and our overall commitment to the preservation of the Loon population in Temgami. In order for this project to be successful, a number of Loon Surveys must be completed on the lake. The TLA will be working closely with Bird Studies Canada in participating in the Canadian Lakes Loon Survey (CLLS). Taking part in the CLLS is an excellent way to enjoy watching loons over the summer while contributing to loon research and conservation. To track loon chick survival through CLLS we need each volunteer: in June to watch for pairs of loons occupying the lake;in July to look for newly-hatched chicks;in August to record the number of chicks that have survived the summer. Each participant is provided with a survey kit and detailed instructions that explain the survey protocol. You decide which part of the lake you wish to survey within the Common Loon’s breeding range; even parts of the lake without loons provide valuable information. All participants will receive a paper kit that can be picked up at the TLA Building in mid-May. Surveyors have the choice of submitting their observations to Bird Studies Canada on paper or entering them online at Bird Studies Canada’s website. All observa-tions are to be submitted by September15th . We understand that many of us (unfortunately) cannot visit our islands at least once from May to August; however, if you are interested in this project nonetheless, or have any personal historic data on loon breeding sites and success rates, we would love to hear from you. Please inquire about this great volunteer opportunity with the TLA by email: [email protected] or by phone (705) 237-8927.

your septic system Most rural homes and cottages use a septic system - a sewage system that usually consists of a tank and a leaching bed, also sometimes called a tile bed. A septic system is privately owned, and by law you are responsible for its safe operation, maintenance and repair.

WATCH FOR SIGNS OF AN IMPROPERLY FUNCTIONING SEPTIC SYSTEM Warning signs of an improperly functioning septic system are many – some are obvious and some require more effort to notice.

AROUND THE HOUSE OR COTTAGE: • the grass over the system may become unusually green or spongy to walk on • toilets, showers and sinks may take longer to drain • occasional sewage odours may become noticeable, often after a rainfall • you may see gray or black liquids surfacing in your yard, or backing up through plumbing fixtures into the house

IN LAKES AND PONDS Leaks from septic systems can cause weeds and algae to grow in lakes and ponds. Just a small amount of additional phosphorus (which can come from soaps, shampoos, household cleaning products and detergents) in a lake or pond can make a huge difference in the amount of weeds that grow during the spring and summer.

automobile & marine Battery recycling Temagami Marine is once again offering to col-lect used automobile and marine (lead acid) batteries for 2013. Quite a few peo-ple dropped off their used batteries at Temagami Marine last year and we wish to thank all those who did. This wonderful community service is available to everyone and it is FRee. These batteries are then recycled through Crown Bat-teries. We encourage each and every one of our readers to bring their used batteries to Temagami Marine. We all rely on batteries and we need to consider where they go when they are no longer useful to us.

Proper disposal is also important for household batteries. The TLA accepts your old, spent flashlight batteries (AA, AAA, C, and other sizes). Just drop them off at the TLA Headquarters and we will dispose of them properly for you.

FREE WORKSHOPS FOR YOUTH

The Temagami Artistic Collec-tive (TAC) is hoping to encour-age youth to get involved in music, perhaps learn to play guitar or other various instruments. So TAC is planning to put on some workshops for youth aged 10 and up, free of charge, this summer. The Munici-pality of Temagami has agreed to sponsor this initiative by provid-ing the venue – the Bunny Miller Theatre in the Temagami Welcome Centre building. The workshops will feature in-structional videos and demonstra-tions. Dates have yet to be deter-mined, but we encourage anyone interested to check for updates on the Temagami Artistic Collective facebook page, or contact David or Carolyn Laronde at 705-569-2904 or email [email protected]

LOCAL MUSICIAN RELEASES DEBUT CD

Temagami resident, David Laronde is pleased to have released his debut CD in April 2013. David is a driving force behind the Temagami Artistic Collective, who present concerts at Temagami’s ‘little the-atre with the big sound’ (the Bunny Miller Theatre in the Temagami Welcome Cen-tre), bringing in talent from across Canada. The concert to introduce his new CD, entitled “right city wrong town” is at the Bunny Miller Theatre on June 1st. David has also performed at the Capitol Centre in North Bay and the Classic Theatre in Co-balt, as well as at the town Waterfront for Canada Day celebrations. He describes his music as “contempo-rary folk and rock blending elements of tra-ditional sounds into one distinctive, edgy sound”. As a songwriter, David intends to create a mood, a scene in your mind’s eye, and speak to you in person through his lyric. It’s the connection with the listener he’s after.

TooT TooT – Whistles and sound signallingBy Angus Scully

• To get attention or warn of danger give 5 blasts on the whistle or horn. When driving a car we rely on signal indicators and backup lights to inform other drivers about our intended movements. In boats, sound signalling serves the same purpose.

• When about to operate your boat in reverse – 3 blasts.

• One short blast to mean: I INTEND TO OVERTAKE YOU ON YOUR STAR BOARD SIDE.

• Two short blasts to mean: I INTEND TO OVERTAKE YOU ON YOUR PORT SIDE. The boat being passed replies with the same signal if in agreement, or sounds 5 blasts if there is danger.

Review safe boating practices in the Safe Boating Guide at shttp://www.tc.gc.ca/publications/en/tp511/pdf/hr/tp511e.pdf

Sound behaves in an interesting way over water. On a flat calm day, we can hear people sneeze a kilometer away. People trolling by our island speak loudly to be heard by their fishing partner over the sound of the motor – and we can hear ev-ery word, including their comments on the condition of our dock. According to Howard Shaw, Ph. D. and Cheryl Jackson Hall, Ph. D., “Experi-ence suggests that sound, like light, travels (more or less) in straight lines. However, to the contrary, sound actually tends to curve downwards over a lake’s surface.” “Sound traveling along straight lines would disperse quickly into the space above the lake. Instead, sound that “should” rise up and be lost typically curves back down to the lake/ground level. Therefore, it sounds louder than it “should.” This is a well-known and easily demonstrated ob-servation, measurable out there on real lakes.”

Yet calling out to someone can be just a waste of time once there are waves or a wake. Surface distur-bance of the water interferes with how sound waves travel. In addi-tion, the pitch of a normal voice has trouble piercing the noise of waves and wakes. Engine noise also interferes. Shouting to boaters to warn of danger or to call people

for lunch can be a waste of breath. Instead, try a whistle or air horn. Having a pea-less whistle or other ap-proved sound signalling device aboard ev-ery boat has been required for many years. Most of us rely on having one in the safety kit we carry. Have one handy where you sit while driving the boat too. The Fox 40 whistle is extremely loud and commonly available. An air horn operating on com-pressed air (use a hand pump) keeps its charge for months and provides an even louder signal. These are available at ma-rine supply stores and Canadian Tire.
