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.

Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser Fulvescens) As Endangered Or Threatened Under the Endangered Species Act
Petition to List U.S. Populations of Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) as Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act May 14, 2018 NOTICE OF PETITION Submitted to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on May 14, 2018: Gary Frazer, USFWS Assistant Director, [email protected] Charles Traxler, Assistant Regional Director, Region 3, [email protected] Georgia Parham, Endangered Species, Region 3, [email protected] Mike Oetker, Deputy Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Allan Brown, Assistant Regional Director, Region 4, [email protected] Wendi Weber, Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Deborah Rocque, Deputy Regional Director, Region 5, [email protected] Noreen Walsh, Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Matt Hogan, Deputy Regional Director, Region 6, [email protected] Petitioner Center for Biological Diversity formally requests that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) list the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the United States as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. §§1531-1544. Alternatively, the Center requests that the USFWS define and list distinct population segments of lake sturgeon in the U.S. as threatened or endangered. Lake sturgeon populations in Minnesota, Lake Superior, Missouri River, Ohio River, Arkansas-White River and lower Mississippi River may warrant endangered status. Lake sturgeon populations in Lake Michigan and the upper Mississippi River basin may warrant threatened status. Lake sturgeon in the central and eastern Great Lakes (Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River basin) seem to be part of a larger population that is more widespread.
