  • January 2018 Happy New Year !
    JOURNAL OF THE HAMILTON NATURALISTS’ CLUB Protecting Nature Since 1919 Volume 71 Number 5 January 2018 Happy New Year ! Immature Northern Gannet at Van Wagners Beach on 8 December 2017. This species certainly makes for an exciting day when one gets lucky and sees one at the west end of Lake Ontario or even on the Harbour. Richard Poort was in the right place when he took this fine photo. Characteristics of the plumage here almost make it look somewhat loon-like making one wonder if there is a close kinship between the two groups. However, gannets and boobies are not closely related to loons and any similarity is at best coincidence.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

We value that you have chosen us as a teaching resource; your students are in for a treat! Young Sophia: the Dundurn Castle Diary is inspired by the diary of 13-year old girl and brought to life through the magic of beautifully hand crafted rod puppets that were modeled on ancient puppets. This study guide was designed to enhance student learning after seeing our play with puppets. Thank you for choosing Studio Babette’s production of Young Sophia: the Dundurn Castle Diary for your study trip. We hope that your students’ experience here will live on for many years to come! Sincerely, Marie Franek, Kerry Corrigan, Helena Adamczyk “Participating in and responding to appropriate arts experiences gives children opportunities to reflect on their own experiences and those of others. These activities can enhance children’s self- concept and increase their sense of accomplishment, and can help them develop their oral language ability and their ability to re- spond to others.” The Full-Day Early Learning – Kindergarten Program Synopsis of the play It is a typical day in Dundurn Castle, and Sophia, daughter of Sir Allan Napier MacNab, is writing the events of the day in her diary.
