Choral Concert
Save the Date: August 4
TCF Benefit at Camp Wabun
Music lovers in the Temagami community are
in for a treat on the late afternoon of August 4
when the Temagami Community Foundation (TCF)
will sponsor a concert of choral music at Camp Wabun.
For good measure, the programme will also include a fried fish
dinner with accompanying champagne!
Veteran choral director Marty 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 accompanying instruments except for some vocal 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 community 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 modern 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: 705-5693737). 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.

Loon Survey Volunteers Needed!
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 Project 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 observations 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:
tla@onlink.net 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
705- 237-8904
IN LAKES AND PONDS
Own
YOUR
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.

FREE WORKSHOPS
FOR YOUTH
LOCAL MUSICIAN
RELEASES DEBUT CD
The Temagami Artistic Collective (TAC) is hoping to encourage 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 Municipality of Temagami has agreed to
sponsor this initiative by providing the venue – the Bunny Miller
Theatre in the Temagami Welcome
Centre building.
The workshops will feature instructional videos and demonstrations. Dates have yet to be determined, 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 meegwich@ontera.net
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 theatre with the big sound’ (the Bunny Miller
Theatre in the Temagami Welcome Centre), 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 Cobalt, as well as at the town Waterfront for
Canada Day celebrations.
He describes his music as “contemporary folk and rock blending elements of traditional 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. For more information, please visit

Toot Toot
– Whistles and
Sound Signalling
By Angus Scully
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 every word, including their comments on the
condition of our dock.
According to Howard Shaw, Ph. D.
and Cheryl Jackson Hall, Ph. D., “Experience 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 observation, 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 disturbance of the water interferes with
how sound waves travel. In addition, 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 approved sound signalling device aboard every 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 compressed air (use a hand pump) keeps its
charge for months and provides an even
louder signal. These are available at marine supply stores and Canadian Tire.

• 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.

Temagami Times
A Temagami Evening
By Frances Cameron
We set out rowing
Meringues of white thunder clouds
In the sky ahead of us
We watched carefully for lightning
There was none.
The sun went down
Gilding white puffy cloud
With brilliant gold
We looked behind
And saw a huge luminous thunder cloud
Advance like a dragon
Upon us.

• Best value airtime plans starting

• Mobile & fixed phone solutions
• Local phone number
We rowed rapidly to shore
As the thunder rumbled ominously.

We were impressed
With the power of nature
And with an understanding
Of how we must honour

Why Recycle?
Here’s why: Each ton of recycled paper can save
17 trees, 1,438 litres of oil, 24.6 cubic meters of
landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 26,498 litres of
water. This represents a 65 percent energy savings, 58 percent
water saving, and 60 pounds less of air pollution!

The first system we had to pump out septic tanks was the
“Trash Pump’ system. We found that solids were being left in
the septic tank. George then decided to invest in a vacuum
pump, which is the most environmentally friendly, sanitary
and thorough method to dispose of septic waste!

Waterfront Upgrades
Work in Progress: the revitalization of the docks and decking at the waterfront by the town Welcome Centre will make the area more attractive, safer
and more accessible. The work was started while the lake was still frozen,
but these photos were taken soon after break-up. It is all part of a Waterfront Development Project funded by the Provincial and Federal Governments and the Municipality. Check it out on your next trip to town.
