  • 127 Spring 2017
    Newcastle Village and District Historical Society Newsletter Spring 2017 - Issue # 127 PRESIDENT’S REPORT e are beyond the middle of May, so let’s hope we will be blessed with more pleasant weather and higher tem- peratures ! On an unhappy note, we just received word from the Federal Government that our application for a grant has, W for the second year in a row, been denied. This, despite encouraging words from Federal bureaucrats, after the denial last year, that we should apply once again. Reasons for the denial are not provided so the whole thing remains a mystery – this in the face of a lot of work in preparing our applications with great precision and exhausting detail in each of the two years. The grant would have enabled your Society, working with Durham College, to electronically capture our records ( histori- cal letters, agreements, wills, photos, and so on ), then to make our data more readily available to scholars, students and the general public. We will, of course, soldier on and explore other options to fund this worthwhile project, including the possibility of finding corporate sponsors. And, while other Government grant opportunities will be looked at, we will attempt, as far as possi- ble, to seek some assurance that any other applications have a reasonable chance of success and not simply serve as a “make work” projects for bureaucrats. Our plans are moving ahead for HERITAGE DAY, an event created and hosted by your Society. It will be held in the main hall of the Newcastle Community Hall from 10AM until 3PM on June 25, 2017.

  • Municipality of Tweed 2017 Gallery of Accomplishments Tweed Public Library
    MUNICIPALITY OF TWEED 2017 GALLERY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS TWEED PUBLIC LIBRARY The Tweed Public Library has had a very busy year! Our TD summer reading program was a great success with over 300 participants spread out across the 8 weeks of the program. We capped off the summer reading program with a well-attended magic show. In August the library was chosen by the Canada Post Community Foundation to receive a grant for $500 dollars, we used this money to launch our Building Imagination Lego Club. There were over 20 excited children in attendance for our first meeting in November. We have also held information seminars for the general public on topics such as estate planning and fraud prevention, as well as holding our weekly knitting group and monthly quilting groups which are quite popular. BLACK RIVER TRADING COMPANY ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE RECENTLY ADDED A LOT OF INTERESTINGLY CARVED FURNITURE TO OUR OFFERING. This year we brought in a tremendous pile of pottery from Malaysia and Vietnam, put together a lot of shelving upon which to display it and redid the pottery section of the website. We know who and where the largest pottery outlets are in Ontario and we can now confidently say we have a more diverse and larger collection than anyone else in Ontario, and, by extension, (Ontario being the largest population base in Canada) we think we likely have the best and largest pottery offering in Canada. We have had the most extensive collection of sculpture in Canada for years and one of our goals has been to be able to add interestingly carved furniture to that "best collection you'll find" list.

  • Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River
    Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River Final Report May 2019 Executive Summary The primary goals of this study are to create hydrologic and hydraulic models of the watershed and produce flood plain mapping for Burnt River from the outlet to Cameron Lake to the hamlet of Burnt River. The mapping will allow the City of Kawartha Lakes and Kawartha Conservation staff to make informed decisions about future land use and identify flood hazard reduction opportunities. The Burnt River Flood Plain Mapping Study was subject to a comprehensive peer review for core components: data collection, data processing, hydrologic modeling, hydraulic modeling, and map generation. The process was supported throughout by a Technical Committee consisting of technical/managerial staff from Ganaraska Conservation, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Kawartha Conservation. Topics discussed in this study include: • Previous studies in the area • Collection of LiDAR, bathymetry and orthophoto data • Proposed land use • Delineation of hydrology subcatchments • Creation of a Visual OTTHYMO hydrology model for Regional (Timmins) Storm • Calculation of subcatchment hydrology model parameters • Derivation of flow peaks at key nodes along the watercourse • Flood Frequency Analysis for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 year events • Creation of a HEC-RAS hydraulic model • Creation of flood plain maps Key elements of this study include: • The Timmins storm is the Regulatory Event for the watercourse • Flood plain maps are to be created based on the highest flood elevation of the calculated water surface elevations Key recommendations of this study: • The maps created from the results of the HEC-RAS model for Burnt River Creek should be endorsed by the Kawartha Conservation Board.

  • Cobourg, for Example, and the Mem- Bers of the Family Compact at York, and Later, Toronto-Could Begin to Think of Recreational Needs on a More Sophisticated Level
    co THE SUMMER RESORTS OF ONTARIO IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY By Roy 1. Wolfe I In the early decades of the nineteenth century, when settlement in Upper Canada was still in the frontier era, the back country, a few miles inland from the Lower Lakes, was still wilderness. This was pioneer country, and there could be as yet no thought of using land for recreation, 1 while the land itself had to be tamed. The rural settlers had two chief sources of enjoyment-liquor and religion. The former was in good supply (Anna Jameson in 1837 was struck by the vast number of taverns that lined the road between Toronto and Lake Simcoe) but it would be many years before there was a direct relation between liquor and the summer re~QJ Exactly the reverse was true of religion: if in recent years there seems to have been little connection between religion and the summer resort, in the beginning it was very close., The most enjoyable religious ceremony the settlers knew was the Methodist camp-meeting, which sup- plemented the work of itinerant preachers, and reached its fullest de- velopment in the 1820~s.The excitement of the camp-meeting, the hysteria and violent conversions/ had an emotional appeal that nothing else could bring to the barren lives of the isolated settlers. Not only the religious came, but those of few religious convictions,3 who derived enjoyment from the spectacle. Camp-meetings lasted as long as a week, and people stayed in tents at the camping-grounds, which thus came to have the appearance of many future summer resorts.
