Love Your Mother | Canoe & Kayak Magazine

"Kevin Callan never imagined that one woman’s love of canoeing in pristine Ontario wilderness areas would create a global movement to clean up and rediscover “lost” canoe routes.

Callan, a well-known Canadian canoeist and author of 12 canoeing and camping guidebooks, is organizing the fifth annual Great Wilderness Clean-up this weekend. The grassroots event started in 2006 when Nancy Maddock and friends collected over 100 bags of garbage on Mother’s Day weekend on popular canoe routes in Algonquin Provincial Park, a heavily used canoe-tripping area north of Toronto. Word spread through the canoeing community on web forums and Callan got involved and implored other paddlers to clean up their favorite canoe areas. Last year, Callan says the two-day event had more support in England, Scotland and Brazil than in Canada; it also mobilized a number of canoe route clean-up efforts in the United States."

There was even a handful of outrigger canoes, that participated in their own timed race - a first for the Ontario Marathon Canoe Racing Association.


Distances ranged from 8K, to a full 24 km - for those competing for points in the standings, and hoping to qualify for the ICF Canoe Marathon World Championships."

What’s in a name? For Robert Bateman, a park - Post City Magazines - June 2010 - Toronto, Ontario

"Wildlife painter Robert Bateman spent his childhood playing along an old railway line that decades later would officially become a naturalized trail called the Kay Gardner Beltline Park.


Therefore it’s only natural that, during last month’s 10th anniversary of the park, Mayor David Miller would announce plans to rename the gateway portion of the trail the Robert Bateman Parkette."

Redemption and the courier’s dad - The Globe and Mail

"Last fall, after the catastrophic Toronto encounter between Michael Bryant and bicycle courier Darcy Allan Sheppard, I wrote a column lamenting the swift intervention by the PR firm Navigator on Mr. Bryant’s behalf. I also said we’d started to learn about Mr. Sheppard, and that he was the product of a “failed adoption,” plus much foster care.

Soon afterward, I got a letter from an Edmonton man describing himself as “an enthusiastic reader,” and the adoptive father of Darcy Allan Sheppard. His name was Allan Sheppard. He said he found my piece “insightful” but “there is one reference you might want to reconsider.” It was “failed adoption.”"

Coyle: Michael Bryant a wiser man after tragedy - thestar.com

"Much nonsense has been spouted in recent days. Some have said the dropping of charges against Bryant declares open season on cyclists. Others talk of a war on cyclists. The comments are as ridiculous as they are unhelpful.

If there’s a lesson in this story, it is in the cost of untreated addiction and mental health needs – the story of a man whose pattern of conduct (if the ghastly consequence of an appallingly difficult life) pretty much assured him a date with a jail cell, or an early coffin, or as the star in someone else’s tragedy.

It’s a story about the destructive – and often self-destructive – consequences of rage. The prisons are full of people who lost it for 28 seconds, or even less."
