We are sad to announce that Tara crossed the rainbow bridge last night.

Tara was on Barbara's and Martin's side for almost 15 years. She was wild & strong, and many of you will probably remember her as the dog who would swim across Smoky lake and back without getting tired or the puppy who had loved to jump on the boat or to climb on the plane just to be with her family and not to miss any adventure.

She will be missed by many.

Attention hunters and residents of Ontario: Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) has been confirmed in white-tailed deer for the first time ever in Ontario.

What is EHD?

EHD is an infectious and often fatal virus in white-tailed deer. Infected deer typically lose their appetite, lose their fear of people, grow weak, show excessive salivation, develop a rapid pulse and respiration rate, and show signs of fever, including submersing themselves in bodies of water to reduce their body temperature. Infected deer are often found dead in or near water bodies.

How do deer become infected?

The disease is spread through bites of midges of the genus Culicoides, commonly referred to as “no-see-ums”.

Is there a risk to you?

The EHD virus is not a public health threat – it is not known to cause human illness. Eating meat from EHD-infected deer free from signs of sickness, ulcers, abscess, or other abnormalities is considered safe. Hunters should, as always, practice proper carcass handling and processing techniques when dressing hunted deer.

What can you do to help?

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is asking for the public’s help in reporting cases of sick or dead deer. Reports can be made by calling the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative at 1-866-673-4781, or by calling the Natural Resources Information Centre at 1-800-667-1940.

Our canoe camping trip to Noganosh Lake

Camping out at Noganosh Lake Provincial Park can be a special experience. Make sure you are well prepared for sudden weather changes, no cell conection etc.

On Friday, July 4, thunderstorm & hail caused a group of 15 young Wabanaki girls to be stranded on Smoky Island.
Martin offered them shelter for the night in one of our cottages. Barbara cooked a big pot of soup for them and helped them to arrange a new pickup time at Ess Narrows.
The next morning they were able to take off for a new adventure in greater weather. And sure enough, they all had a great big story to tell after their canoe trip. Explorers' EdgeLoring-Restoule
