This year’s organizers have started to think about each of our four CWA summer events. INSIDE THIS ISSUE: We are also helping the Marina’s Summer Kickoff again the year, and we still need a chief organizer to lead our food operation for that event. Elizabeth White will fill you in on all Page the details you need to know, if you are able to take this on for us. Check out our The rest of this letter is devoted to filling you in on the change coming to the Advertising changes 2 Newsletter / Website operation. The executive summary is that the Newsletter operation by itself has become too expensive to continue as is, so the Board has decided to rely even CWA’s AGM – July 14th 2 more on the very much cheaper website as our main communication channel. By early 2019 we will have shifted to having all the articles and advertisements that would first What’s new at Port 3 have appeared in a Newsletter posted directly to the website instead, where members can Carmen Marina? see and/or download and print whichever bits they want. Each ‘bit’ would appear as soon 2018 Golf Tournament 4 as it is received, rather than at three separate times per year. -mark the date! Here are more of the details and reasons for the change. As you know from my last letter, the association had a very rare deficit in 2017, so the board set in motion a The Ice is finally out of 5 the lake . budget-striking process to prevent a deficit in 2018. The new Budget Committee completed a long review process and made its recommendations in mid April, which the ACHP Update 6 Board adopted on May 2. The operating budget struck for 2018 has a modest surplus of $1,080 despite keeping the Newsletter operation unchanged for two issues, but in 2019 The RSPC is now the 7 and after when all the changes are fully in effect, the surplus will be about $3,000. RLC! The CWA has communicated with members via a Newsletter for years, though Summer job available 8 more and more through a website. The website will soon be joined by a Facebook site and (for your lake related photos) an Instagram account as well. Relative to the website and its 10 Reasons to “Love 8 allies, the Newsletter has become both more expensive and less convenient as a Local” & “Shop Local” communications channel. It is more expensive because it has become a much bigger and more sophisticated publication. Preparing and printing and mailing a 30 page document Your Committee 9 three times a year takes a lot of time and paper and postage. It is less convenient because Updates most of us these days get our information one bite at a time on cell phones, when we need Straw Bales in your 10 it, rather than in a print deluge in May, September, and January. And “when we need it” Garden???? means for most of us “continually in July and August.” No publication can hope to match that timing. Posting our information to a site where members can access it when they FOCA Corner 11 wish is the only way to meet modern members’ needs. What is not widely realized is that we have been posting all of our Newsletter Geese, Geese, Geese . 12 information to the website for years, as soon as each Newsletter itself was published. For years some members have been downloading articles and checking advertisements on Exciting Coming Events 13 their cell phones and Ipads rather than referring to a paper copy of the Newsletter itself. The advertisements are easy to find on the Website through the directory https://www.cecebewaterways.ca/directory.htm. What will change is only that we will Our Amazing 14- no longer be issuing the Newsletter publication, and each article or advertisement will be Advertisers 27 posted to the website (and Facebook and Instagram) as it comes in rather than being bunched with many others at three dates months apart. Continued on Page 2. Landfill Information 27 With a budget that promises significant future surpluses, we will be in a position to enrich what is available to members through the website and Facebook etc., as we have done with the new PayPal arrangements. Communication is a major responsibility of your association, but it takes a lot of time and effort to keep up with the new forms available. This budget removes a big drain on our time and resources that has been preventing us from taking full advantage of the new forms. We need to hear from you about how our completing the transition from Newsletter to website is working out for you, and how the website could be changed to alleviate any problems. As mentioned above, communication is a major part of the CWA’s mission statement. Improving it is good for all of us. My final note is a thank you for the support you have all given the association and its directors during my four years as president. The job is impossible without a huge number of volunteers, but the CWA’s alias could sometimes be Volunteers ‘R’ Us. Please keep it up for my successor!

Besides the election of a new slate of directors, the AGM will feature a summary of the association’s finances by the Treasurer and of the past year’s budget changes by the outgoing President, plus a few routine motions required by our enabling legislation if we are to continue as a non-profit corporation.

It would be nice to report differently, however WINTER is still here!!!! It is not an option nor is it a joke --it is definitely a late start this year. I have already lost a coffee bet with Kathy having hoped to see the lake cleared earlier so we could get boats in the water on time, but it is just not happening. I lose (I think she cheated me with experience though).

  • Surviving Fisheries Management: Angling, Aquaculture, and Lake Ahmic
    SURVIVING FISHERIES MANAGEMENT: ANGLING, AQUACULTURE, AND LAKE AHMIC Michael David Del Vecchio SUBMITTED INPARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ART IN HISTORY NIPISSING UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES NORTH BAY, ONTARIO © Michael David Del Vecchio September 2010 i Abstract The vast majority of inland waters in Ontario have been designated as purely recreational fisheries. Environmental historians who study human-fish relations have demonstrated the influence of anglers in the establishment of fishing regulations and fisheries management policies that sought to maximize fish resources for sport fishing and fishing tourism. To achieve this goal, aquaculture programs were conducted throughout Ontario that artificially reared fish and planted them in lakes. For over a century, from approximately 1860-1960, the Ontario government relied on aquaculture as a blanket solution to all fishery problems. Over the past fifty years, fisheries science has questioned the ecological benefits of stocking programs. Stocking efforts in the province have been drastically reduced since the 1960s but have continued largely because of grass root initiatives from concerned anglers. Lake Ahmic is home to a small cottage community based out of the village of Magnetawan. The lake has been stocked with a variety of fish species for over a hundred years. In addition to this, several species have been accidentally introduced to Lake Ahmic altering its ecological balance. Between 1987 and 2006, a local angling organization was responsible for initiating and running a walleye-stocking program on Lake Ahmic. In 2006, to the disappointment of the local anglers and greater Magnetawan community, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources canceled the stocking program.
