    Hill & Lake Press Serving the East Isles, Lowry Hill, Kenwood Isles, and Cedar Isles Dean Neighborhoods VOLUME 29 NUMBER 10 OCTOBER 22, 2005 ISLES BIKE TRAIL REPLACED West Bay and North Arm Greening Up Chris Wiencke MPRB Planning The unseasonably warm weather this fall extended the growing season, offering a grace period in which the newly planted grass around Lake of the Isles’ west bay could take hold. Parkland disguised as an unsightly con- struction zone for the past two summers is beginning to look like a park once again. Extremely wet weather has subjected the recently completed improvements to a rigorous test, a test they have passed with flying colors. Recent torrential rains would have completely flooded the parkland surrounding the west bay and north arm; today it remains high and dry. Though the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board’s efforts to renovate Lake of the Isles Regional Park—a project spanning several years—in 2005 were limited by inadequate funding, much has been accom- plished this construction season. The parkland around the west bay and north arm, so prone to flooding in recent years, has been filled in above the 100-year flood level, then graded and seeded. The north arm, not yet green at this writing, was seeded later than the west bay. Depending on weather conditions, that area may not look like parkland until spring. Bike trail replaced Lake of the Isles after October 2005 rain Lake Photos by Dorothy Childers The replacement of the bike trail may be the most enthusiastically hailed development of all.

Luke Stewart Sciences Po Lille Before the Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada even left the print shop in January 1968 it had already sold-out its first print run of 5,000 copies. Mark Satin, the Manual’s editor and director of the Toronto Anti-Draft Programme (TADP), quickly produced a revised and updated second edition of 20,000 more copies in March 1968. The booklet quickly became highly sought after and would emerge as one of the most important and iconic movement publications of the Vietnam War era. Selling 60,000 copies in total and distributed to over 2,000 draft counseling centres and antiwar organizations in the United States and across Canada, it would ultimately be bootlegged an estimated 30,000 times in various formats by these same groups.
