  • Clarenville Bonavista Formatted (2).Pub
    Clarenville Bonavista Regional Council of the Rural Secretariat Annual Activity Report 2005-06 Cape Random Message from the Chair We, as council members, have prepared the 2005-06 Annual Activity Report for the Clarenville-Bonavista Regional Council of the Rural Secretariat in accordance with the Transparency and Accountability Act . As Chairperson, I submit and sign this annual activity report on behalf of the council as a symbol of the council’s accountability for the results achieved and any variances contained herein. The mandate of the Regional Council for the Rural Secretariat is to advise government on the future sustainability of the Clarenville-Bonavista region. To be effective in this process, it has been important for council members to understand the key issues affecting current program development and future policy direction as these affect citizens residing in our 109 communities. The Clarenville-Bonavista Regional Council was appointed in August 2005 and held its first meeting in October 2005. The contents of this report outline the council’s activities for the remaining five months of the fiscal year. The Regional Council has been very busy understanding issues related to demographic change, infrastructure, skills development, private sector investment and the provision of public services and programs. These first meetings served as an orientation to the council’s role and responsibilities. The council received regional specific information that enabled it to better understand the opportunities and challenges within the region. Over the coming months, the council will work towards the identification of regional priorities and will initiate a citizen engagement process to begin to further refine these priorities.

For more information on membership levels and benefits, please visit www.mvmuseum.org To Our Readers his issue of the Dukes County Intelligencer is remarkable in its diver- Tsity. Our lead story comes from frequent contributor Chris Baer, who writes a swashbuckling narrative of two of the Vineyard’s most adventur- ous, daring — and quirky — characters, George Cleveland and George Fred Tilton, whose arctic legacies continue to this day. Our second story came about when Florence Obermann Cross suggested to a gathering of old friends that they write down their childhood memories of shared summers on the Lagoon. The result is a collective recollection of cottages without electricity or water; good neighbors; artistic and intellectual inspiration; sailing, swimming and long-gone open views. This is a slice of Oak Bluffs history beyond the more well-known Cottage City and Campground stories. Finally, the Museum’s chief curator, Bonnie Stacy, has reminded us that 75 years ago the ’38 hurricane, the mother of them all, was unannounced and deadly, even here on Martha’s Vineyard. — Susan Wilson, editor THE DUKES COUNTY INTELLIGENCER VOL. 55, NO. 1 © 2013 WINTER 2013 Left Behind: George Cleveland, George Fred Tilton and the Last Whaler to Hudson Bay by Chris Baer ......................................................................................

Learning about our own part of the earth can help us get a better understanding of the world at large. Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province. Above all, we hope this book challenges your curiosity and encourages you to search for more information about our land. Don McDonald Director of Programs and Services Newfoundland and Labrador Literacy Development Council ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank the many people who so kindly and eagerly helped me during the production of this book.

  • S Storm-Petrels on Baccalieu Island, Newfoundland
    POPULATION STUDY HEBREEDING RANGE OF LEACH'S Storm-Petrel( Oceanodroma leu- The world'slargest known corhoa) in the Northwest Atlan- tic is centered in eastern Newfound- land. Owing to the species'nocturnal nestingcolony of and burrow-nestinghabits, the breed- ing populations and distributions of storm-petrels, first documented in Leach's Storm-Petrels Newfoundlandby Petersand Burleigh (1951), have historicallybeen grossly underestimatedand are not presently on BaccalieuIsland,, well known. Storm-petrel coloniesin Newfoundland are vastly larger than all others in the Northwest Atlantic Newfoundland (Huntington 1963; Montevecchi, in prep.), but few quantitative data on colony populationshave been gener- ated. The colony of Leach's Storm-Pe- trels on Baccalieu Island, Newfound- B. O. Sklepkovych and IV. A. Montevecchi land, hasgone largely unrecognized as an important nestingsite for the spe- des (Brown et al. 1975; Nettleship 1980). In the present paper, we esti- mate the breeding population of storm-petrelsbased on measurements of burrow densitiesin all nestinghab- itats and on quantitative estimatesof the island'ssurface areas. Our popu- lation figure, which is compared with thoseof other coloniesthroughout the world, yields new perspectivesof the energy consumption of these birds in the marine ecosystemof the North- west Atlantic. Study Area BaccalieuIsland (-6.3 x I kilome- ter, 48'07'N, 54ø12'W) is situatedoff the northeastern tip of Newfound- land's Avalon Peninsula (Figure 1). Leach'sStorm-Petrels nest in a variety of habitats over the entire island, but principallyoccupy grassy-hummock- ed slopes,boreal forest and Empetrum heaths. Smaller, less defined habitats suchas herb (grassyareas with more than 60 percent fern or tall herb cover), grassy meadow, and heath Leach• Storm-Petrel (Oceanodromaleucorhda).
