CREEKSIDE CAMPAIGN Cusheon Creek lot faces subdivision or preservation Eff ort launched to save Cusheon Creek rainforest

Maureen Moore estimates the 7.5 hectares (19 acres) of Douglas fir and cedar trees nestled along the banks of Cusheon Creek may be worth roughly $600,000, but says the land possesses an environmental value beyond any mon- etary cost. “This green valley’s moss-festooned rainforest is stunningly beautiful on an island where land is being destroyed bit by bit,” Moore writes in a pamphlet distributed to retailers, politicians and community organizations. “Our children and grandchildren need and deserve to inherit beauty and mature trees that absorb carbon dioxide and support life. We want to buy, cov- enant and preserve this land forever.” The push to save the Creekside Drive property comes after the owners sub- mitted an application to subdivide the property into four lots. Moore said she has received “encour- aging support” from various levels of government and organizations, though none have yet to step up with a financial commitment. She is working towards securing an PHOTO BY SEAN MCINTYRE agreement with The Land Conservancy Maureen Moore enjoys a break with Chloe and Aidan Haigh during a walk through the Creekside Rainforest on Monday evening.

Attention! Never leave pets unattended in your vehicle in warm weather
The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. Dogs (and cats) cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. The hot air and upholstery in vehicles prevents dogs from cooling themselves. Please, leave pets at home.

CINEMA HAIRSPRAY - Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion — dancing. Her dream is to appear on “The Corny Collins Show,” Baltimore’s hippest dance party on TV. Tracy Amarcord seems a natural fit for the show except for one not-so-little problem—she doesn’t fit in. Her plus-sized Men’s a cappella ensemble from Germany figure has always set her apart from the cool crowd, which she is reminded of by her loving but overly protective plus-sized mother, Edna (played by John Travolta!).
