Hardy Gallery Opens this Weekend!
Hardy Gallery Announces Launch of 51st Season with Wall-to-Wall Salon this Saturday from 5:30 - 7PM
In what has become one of Door County’s sure signs the summer gallery season is about to begin, Ephraim’s Hardy Gallery is thrilled to announce the opening of the 2013 summer season with its annual Wall-to-Wall Salon. The exhibit is scheduled for Sunday, May 26 through Thursday, May 30, with the annual kick-off party for the exhibition scheduled for this Saturday, May 25 from 5:30—7 pm.
The Wall-to-Wall Salon features all of the work submitted for this year’s 51st Annual Juried Exhibit, and is truly a beautiful sight, with nearly every square inch of the Anderson Warehouse’s walls filled with works by both local and regional artists. Painting of all types, ceramics, mixed media work, jewelry, woodworking and furniture building, fiber art, and much more combine to create a display that is truly a colorful and dynamic spectacle to behold.
At the end of the weeklong Salon, the entire cadre of artwork is juried through a process of careful deliberation by a diverse panel of jurors, who are all either practicing artists or arts professionals. The work that is selected will be on display for the 51st Annual Juried Exhibit.
“It’s always so exciting to receive the work for this show, as more local and regional artists push themselves to create new and exciting work,” Executive Director Elizabeth Meissner-Gigstead says. “Last year, 79 pieces were included in the exhibit and we’re hoping for another great turnout this year."
“The salon is a great opportunity for the public to see the development of artwork by both emerging and established artists before the jurying process takes place,” Gigstead says. “It’s always interesting for patrons to visit again to see which work has been included in the exhibit.”
In addition to the pieces the jurors select for inclusion, the piece that earns the People’s Choice Award will also hang in the final display. Gallery patrons are encouraged to vote for their favorite piece with this popular award. Votes are free and can be cast throughout the duration of the weeklong salon.
Both the Wall-to-Wall Salon and the opening reception are free and open to the Door County community. The gallery will be open from 10 am—5 pm May 26—May 30 and will close beginning Friday, May 31 for jurying and installation of the 51st Annual Juried Exhibit. The gallery will re-open with the opening reception for the exhibit, which is scheduled for Friday, June 7 from 5:30—7 pm.
Information about the 2013 Wall-to-Wall Salon, including the prospectus for the 51st Annual Juried Exhibit as well as other events planned for the 2013 summer season, can be found by calling the Hardy Gallery office at 920.854.2210.

Community Mosaic Project
Community Mosaic Project
Canvases for the 2013 Project are NOW Available!
Canvases may be picked up at the Artists Guild in Sturgeon Bay, the Hardy Gallery office in Ephraim or the Dahl Law Firm in Sister Bay. Call for hours: Artists Guild - 920.743.9900 | Hardy Gallery Office - 920.854.2210 | Dahl Law Firm - 920.854.7100
The Hardy Gallery in Ephraim, WI recently announced preparations for the launch of the organization’s 6th annual Community Mosaic Project.
The Community Mosaic Project, presented in partnership with the Artists Guild in Sturgeon Bay, has – and continues – to bring together artists and community members to create a visual tapestry of public art at the Hardy’s iconic facility in Ephraim. The project will be unveiled the evening of July 19, 2013 in which the contributions of 300-plus individuals will be on display.
The Hardy is currently seeking artists and community members to submit an original 6 by 6-inch work for this year’s project. The public is invited to submit work in any medium: drawing, painting, literary or sculptural. Past submissions have included photography, three-dimensional and sculptural work, assemblages, fiber work, painting, writing, and collaborative works. Free canvases for the project are available throughout the county at the Artists Guild (Sturgeon Bay) the Hardy Gallery office (Ephraim) and the Dahl Law Firm (Sister Bay).
“We are inviting the community to create, share and celebrate the visual arts,” said Elizabeth Meissner-Gigstead, executive director. “This project has always been about telling the stories of the participants, our community,” she says. A statement from each participant accompanies each work of art.
To encourage the public’s participation, two free community paint sessions are scheduled to take place on Sunday, June 9 from 1 – 3 PM and another again on Thursday, June 13 from 4:30 – 6 PM, both at the Artists Guild in Sturgeon Bay. No previous experience is necessary and all supplies and canvases will be provided (one free canvas is available to each participant; additional canvases will be available to purchase). The sessions are free but advanced registration is required so we can ensure adequate space and supplies. Call the Hardy at 920.854.2210 to make your reservation. The Artists Guild is located at 215 N. Third Ave., downtown Sturgeon Bay.
All artwork submissions are due Monday, June 24.
It is always exciting to see how everyone interprets the canvas differently and how, in the end, the very diverse submissions blend together so beautifully.”
The Community Mosaic Project was conceived in the spring of 2007 when the concept of a public art installation was envisioned by the non-profit organization. The initial idea focused on building the work using ceramic tiles, which, for a variety of reasons presented many challenges for public participation of a large-scale work. Instead, the idea of using a blank canvas as a “tile” was born which would provide individuals with a true blank slate to manipulate as they wished. It was a huge hit and continues to grow today! The first project took place during the summer of 2008 and has grown steadily since. Its impact has been great and extends far beyond our local Door County community. In recent years the project has garnered great success, inspiring teachers and arts organizations across the country to implement a similar project in their own community. A sampling of these organizations include: A Benicia Patchwork of Art (Benicia, CA), Muscatine Mosaic Project (Muscatine, IA), Art From the Heart (Green Bay, WI), Compassion Project (Appleton, WI), Vision Mosaic Mural (Madison, WI), Small Works Project (Sheboygan, WI), Community Mosaic Project (Willison, North Dakota), Mosaic Fundraiser (Cedarburg, WI), Connections Project: A Mosaic of the Keys (Florida Keys, FL).
To learn more about the Project, purchase a copy of the book, Community Mosaic Project: Complete Artworks 2008-2009; or support the Hardy directly buy purchasing a lottery number from this year’s Project, please call our office at 920.854.2210.
Canvases for the Community Mosaic Project are generously donated by Door County’s Premiere Winsor & Newton Art Centre, The Artists Guild, LLC in Sturgeon Bay. Phone: (920) 743-9900 or visit them online at ArtistsGuildOnline.com. Without their support our project would not be possible! Please go out of your way to patronize this business whenever possible and thank Sarah and Jeff for their support.

Visit the Josh Wood Atelier Hair Lab on the 3rd Floor
Globally acclaimed hair colourist Josh Wood launched his eponymous Notting Hill Atelier in September 2011. In November 2012 the renowned stylist opened the doors to his second Atelier at Liberty – the first hair salon to open here in-store (on the 3rd floor, through the Haberdashery department).
Heading up a dream team of colour, cut and styling talent from across the globe, the Josh Wood Atelier Hair Lab is a new concept where the salon and session world collide. This principle allows Josh’s creative team to work across editorial shows, whilst giving them a home to see clients and give them session finished hair with no creative boundaries. Featuring a menu of services starting from £30, the salon offers the same touches found at the Notting Hill Atelier: iPods, personal playlists, detail-driven service levels and made-to-order coffee as standard. It is also home to the first Wella Illumina Light Bar – where natural daylight is controlled giving the colourist an optimum work environment, and the client the perfect setting to see their colour in a number of light scenarios.
The Atelier Hair Lab is now open at the following times:
Tuesday, Wednesday & Saturday: 10am-6pm
Thursday & Friday: 10am-8pm
Sunday & Monday: Closed
For reservations, please email firstname.lastname@example.org or call +44 (0)20 3393 3358

In 1919 an Australian Red Ensign was bought to Australia by Sergeant Norman Bignell, who served with the 1st Australian Casualty Clearing Station at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Now a prized item in the Bega Pioneers’ Museum, the flag is believed to have flown at Gallipoli and in France.
Norman Bignell of Bellerive, Tasmania, enlisted in June 1915 and was attached to the 1st Australian Casualty Clearing Station. He arrived at Gallipoli on 30 October 1915, where he worked assisting medical staff in the care of the wounded and sick. After the heavy fighting of the August Offensive there were fewer men wounded, but the strain of illnesses, appalling living conditions, and the onset of heavy snowfalls in the winter ensured significant casualties. The unit’s War Diary for 19 December 1915 indicates that 37,100 Allied soldiers had been evacuated to Mudros sick and wounded since the landing on 25 April 1915.
Private Bignell left Gallipoli in the withdrawal of all Australian troops on the night of 19–20 December 1915 and his unit transferred to the Western Front in early 1916.
During the Second World War, Norman Bignell, now a public servant, was the Manpower Officer for the Bega area, controlling employment and liaising with military authorities. Prior to his death he gave the flag to the Gowing family, who subsequently donated it to the museum.
How the flag had come into his possession is unknown, but it is possible that he would have had contact with merchant navy ships as a shipping clerk prior to his enlistment, and may have taken the flag with him when he left Australia.
During the war Australians fought under the British Union Flag and both the Australian Blue and Red Ensigns. The Blue Ensign was intended for official and Royal Australian Navy purposes, while the Red Ensign was the official flag for Australian registered merchant ships. Historically, the Red Ensign was also used by civilians on land and was taken onto battlefields by soldiers. Confusion over the use of the flags was resolved with the Flags Act 1953, which proclaimed the Blue Ensign as the Australian National Flag.

One Pot French: More Than 100 Easy, Authentic Recipes
Chefs taking this volume at face value may assume that Lyon chef Challet's collection is suited for a lonely Le Creuset dutch oven, but Challet's focus, confusingly, is on classic dishes (Tarte Tatin, the Croque Monseuir sandwich, basic roast chicken) prepared any number of ways (some don't even call for a saucepan or pot, others require more than one). Misleading title and cover photo aside, the recipes are a mixed bag. Some, such as Vichysoisse and Cabillaud en Papillote, in which black cod fillets are covered in pesto and baked in parchment with lemons and tomatoes, are virtually foolproof. Others, such as a carrot soup garnished with roasted pecans, are needlessly complex. Then there are the sins of omission: in his recipes for roast chicken and Chicken with Beer, Challet includes no mention of how to tell when the chicken is done cooking. Veteran cooks will find Challet's collection well within their abilities, and those interested in creating a soup-to-nuts French meal will find more than enough ideas. Novices, however, will likely find Challet's instruction lacking.

Business applications and services specialist Advanced Business Solutions – part of the Advanced Computer Software Group – has revealed details of a last minute project rescue bid it performed for Moray Council in Scotland, following the administration of 2e2 in January 2013.
Moray Council had been in the process of bringing its finance management system – Advanced’s e5 management package – back in-house in order to slim down its running costs in the wake of the public sector cuts.
A Freedom of Information request lodged with Moray Council in 2012 reveals the contract was signed in 2008 and would have expired in July 2013. It was worth approximately £300,000 to 2e2 per annum.
However according to Moray Council documents the decision to go in-house – taken in late 2012 – was expected to save it £1.85m, had it decided to renew the managed services contract for five more years.
But the subsequent demise of 2e2 sparked panic in the corridors of power, and risked derailing the migration project altogether.
Having been an Advanced customer for 20 years, the council – which uses the e5 package to manage its general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales invoicing and procurement support, turned to the software house for help, explained Moray Council payments manager Diane Beattie.
“Advanced consultants reacted very quickly. They retrieved all our data and built a live system within a week, which we went live with two weeks later. The support was fantastic,” said Beattie.
“e5 enables us to function as efficiently as possible. It’s fully integrated, links to accounts charts and allows online authorisation. The system also processes our year-end reports and budget management information on a monthly basis for more than 200 budget managers.”
Beattie continued: “We have always seen strong benefits from the e5 system, since we implemented it in 1994 and today we are making the most of the functionality. We have reported annual savings of £1.9 million from procurement alone.”
The council also claims that as well as the cost-saving aspect, it has also saved itself substantial numbers of man-hours, with time taken to process an order to payment transaction down from 45 to 12 minutes since implementing its centralised procurement plan.
Meanwhile, in an ironic twist the 2012 report also acknowledged the possibility that any problems, or a potential administration, at 2e2 would cause it “a major risk”.

Anyone who knows me KNOWS I love “The Real Housewives…” franchise. However, the antics and diva-tudes – even the cast swaps – it’s all becoming a bit much.
First of all, as much as I love the Atlanta Housewives, I am saddened that Lisa won’t be on the upcoming season. I mean, anyone who was paying attention last season probably saw this coming a mile away.
A lot of her scenes were rather “normal” and not very “drama filled”. Compared to the other housewives, her life was rather normal. I guess normal is NOT going to cut it with Bravo – because Lisa was asked to either “give ‘em a show” or “get lost”.
Bye Bye Lisa…. *wipes tears*
Well, with Lisa gone … here are the new cast members.
So in place of my former favorite housewife (who was actually a HOUSEWIFE…smh) they have added Cynthia Bailey and Phaedra Parks. Interesting. Let’s talk about these wonderful additions for a second here…
Summary of Cynthia via Bravo:
Glamorous Cynthia resides in Atlanta with her 10-year old daughter, Noelle. The Alabama-born beauty moved to New York City 18 years ago to pursue her dream of modeling with nothing more that a high school Homecoming Queen crown and a few beauty pageants under her belt. Her very first booking was the cover of Essence, but that was only the beginning. From major fashion features to the runways in Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks and from staring in a movie opposite Sandra Bernhardt to a guest role on The Cosby Show,Cynthia has had an enviable career path.
Cynthia joins the Housewives at a pivotal time in her relationship with her boyfriend of three years, Peter Thomas. He has issued her an ultimatum, and though Cynthia has always been independent and financially comfortable, she must come to terms with her marriage hang-ups or risk losing him for good. Already a close friend of NeNe’s, their friendship deepens as together they struggle through relationship issues with the men in their lives.
Now, my opinion on Ms. Bailey. A. She is NOT a housewife; duh, she’s not even married. B. How long has she lived in Atlanta? Yea, I don’t see anything about that either. Last but not least, who is she again? I haven’t heard of her before. Have you? Then again, I didn’t know who Nene Leakes was prior to this show.
Moving right along…
Then, there is Phaedra Parks…
(Courtesy of Bravo) Her bio is as follows:
Phaedra is a celebrated entertainment attorney who lives in the historic Vinings area. She is the Managing Partner of The Parks Group, P.C., an Atlanta based boutique law firm that caters nationally to entertainers and athletes. She has served as a legal analyst for NBC and Fox News, and has been featured on Entertainment Tonight, EXTRA, Court TV, among others for her handling of several high-profile clients and cases. An active member of the community, Phaedra, self-proclaimed “Southern Bell,” sits on numerous boards and is involved is multiple charities.
A friend of Dwight and Kandi’s, Phaedra arrives on the Housewives scene under scrutiny. Phaedra’s marriage to her younger husband, Apollo, is the subject of much gossip because he did a stint in prison for a “white collar crime.” She is expecting her first child with Apollo and has thrown herself into planning the perfect baby shower.
Now, I HAVE heard of her. While I won’t judge her on her romantic endeavors. I CAN say, that she is MARRIED. Which is always a plus – especially being that this is a show about HOUSEWIVES. Not to mention, she is actually successful and well-known in Atlanta. So… good pick here Bravo; someone who “fits the criteria” and might actually be “show worthy”.
I am looking forward to the next season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta“. Even without my girl Lisa - I’ll be watching. Will you?
Now on to my second favorite group – The Housewives of New Jersey.
I don’t know WHAT is going on with these ladies. First, I hear about Teresa and her hubby blowing STACKS of money – and filing bankruptcy. Next, I hear about Danielle getting kicked off of the show? Or did she quit? Which one is it? I’m so confused…
There is sooooo much going on with this group of women that the drama is NON stop! Word is – they want to get “Jersey Shore” money for their antics! Go figure!
The way I see it? The “Manzo” family (including Teresa as well…) is not that exciting without Danielle and her antics. That’s just my opinion anyway. Without Danielle there to stir up the drama - what would they really have that’s worth watching? They all get along so very well without her. There isn’t any family drama because Caroline won’t let that happen.
So again – I must ask – why would Bravo pay these housewives MORE than anyone else in the franchise?
How good can the next season be without the Queen of Drama (Danielle) and her goons? LOL. You gotta admit, love her or hate her – she was the HIGHLIGHT of this past season (…and the reunion for that matter.)
**Rumor: Teresa’s sister-in-law may be joining the next seasons cast. Hmm….
Last but not least - Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
I’m going to be honest and say… I am not really excited about this season. It reminds me of “Real Housewives of Orange County”. Botox, Booze and Breakups left to right.
The way I feel about this particular season? The same way I feel about Real Housewives of DC. They’re gonna have to EARN my hour. So far? I’m not excited.
So the question is: Housewives fans – What season are YOU excited about seeing?
- Love It
- Hate It

A couple weeks ago, I got to lead a storytelling training with presidents of community colleges from around the country and their board chairs. They were a refreshingly lively group!
As these board presidents shared, many of them told stories of students who’d attended their institutions and done fabulous things. The stories were powerful because they were:
- about one person—people can connect with one person so they get into the story much easier
- about overcoming odds—stories are more compelling if there’s conflict in them
- and they were rich in details—each president talked about specific details of students (what building they had a key conversation in, what routine a student used to successfully complete her degree, how children responded to a parent going back to school)
As they were rediscovering stories to help with fundraising, you could see them grow in confidence and enthusiasm. It was as though they were saying, “Of course people want to give to help make that happen for more people!”
The Phrase That Pays
As I listened to them, I was reminded of a concept I learned from Doug Stevenson, called “the phrase that pays.” He teaches organizations to look for a phrase that can be used to make the ask.
For example, one of the stories was about a man how worked construction but decided he wanted to become a doctor. The president talked about the man walking into the construction supervisors’ office to give notice. He could’ve easily added a detail like, “Juan went into the office, put down his hammer, and gave notice.”
Then when he was done the story, he could turn the to the person he was addressing and say, “Now will you help other Juans put down their hammer too? Would you consider a gift of $10,000?”
Using a “phrase that pays” reinforces the story and invites the listener to become an active participant in the story. And it doesn’t feel like you’re changing gears. It doesn’t feel like a bait-and-switch. The ask naturally flows from the story.
What is your phrase that pays?
Take a moment today to think about the last story you used for fundraising (whether in a letter or in a talk). What action oriented phrase could you use to easily lead to an ask?
Please share your insights in the comments!


A group of news organizations led by the Washington Post has sued the State of Maryland over a poorly crafted and patently unconstitutional set of laws that try to regulate online political advertising. Judge Paul Grimm of the U.S. District Court has granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting the State from enforcing the laws while the case is pending. Granting such an injunction means that the court believes that the plaintiffs are likely to win the case on the merits and that they will suffer irreparable harm without injunctive relief.
The best line in the Memorandum Opinion is on page 35. Discussing the State’s case, Judge Grim notes,
These are not the arguments of a party that is confident in its case.
I’ve previously posted about a group of newspapers filing suit against Maryland to stop the state’s unconstitutional attempt to regulate political advertising on the Internet. The newspapers are seeking a preliminary injunction to stop the law from going into effect. The State has filed an opposition to the motion for a preliminary injunction.
There will be a hearing on the motion for a preliminary injunction. It was originally scheduled for early October, but the lawyers and Judge Grimm are trying to resolve scheduling conflicts. When the hearing is scheduled, I’ll make arrangements to attend and report on it.

Corbinian Böhm and Michael Gruber have worked together since 1995 under the name EMPFANGSHALLE.
EMPFANGSHALLE creates art in the midst of our society. This society, consisting of the most diverse groups and different structures, is the medium of their works. More precisely, EMPFANGSHALLE embraces people who form such groups through shared ideas, surroundings or activities. We dock onto what has already taken form and something new arises from this contact; a new space arises in the previously existing structure – the space of EMPFANGSHALLE.
Subways and their passengers can be such structures, for example. The characteristics of the selected locations and situations determine the way in which we deal with them. Infra-structural interventions render invisible or unconscious elements visible by enhancing them as if by means of a sound box and give them presence. The subway, from which thousands of people view the environment as it rushes by, provides both the public and the rhythm for irritating, theatrically staged, three-second actions. The three-second view through the window focuses on an unexpected event; what one sees outside blends with what one reads in the newspaper; fact and fiction are freed from their habitual places in our perception.
An in the art hall, the location for artistic productions, products, merchandise that is obviously very useful with practical applications that normally appear at Tupperware parties, or organic cleaning agents from the German company, Haka Kunz, make their debut.
On top of all of this comes a gentle 'kidnapping' of the public. Our 'docking on' is definitely an entering, or baiting and luring. For example, the public is tempted by curiosity, sensation-seeking, or playfulness, characteristics that most of us have. They draw us into new spaces. The public is often taken up into the new space arising through the work without its explicit awareness. This new space is of limited duration; time plays just as important a role as the location. We do not intend our works to be subjected to further arbitrary use as permanent installations; they are rather precise stage-settings that operate within chance moments. Social dynamics, the statements, movements, activities of people appearing in groups are channelled and rerouted into this new space, in which the EMPFANGSHALLE artists function as janitors. They see to it that things 'work', they take care of the infrastructure. They also have their own 'view' of the process; this includes EMPFANGSHALLE’s documenting this new space so that it can be recalled through video recordings, while the space itself disappears again after the intervention has been concluded.

Extending the sharp decline seen over the past several sessions, treasuries saw further downside during trading on Friday.
Bond prices climbed well off their worst levels of the day but still closed firmly in negative territory. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, climbed 3.8 basis points to 1.771 percent.
The ten-year yield gave back ground after reaching a high slightly above 1.8 percent but still ended the day at its highest closing level since early 2020.
For the first week of the New Year, the ten-year yield spiked by 25.9 basis points, as the Federal Reserve continues to scale back its asset purchase program and prepares to raise interest rates.
The continued weakness among treasuries came as the Labor Department’s closely watched monthly jobs report was not seen as likely to alter the Fed’s plans to accelerate monetary policy normalization.
While the report showed much weaker than expected job growth in the month of December, the unemployment rate still fell by more than expected.
The report said non-farm payroll employment rose by 199,000 jobs in December after climbing by an upwardly revised 249,000 jobs in November.
Economists had expected employment to jump by 400,000 jobs compared to the addition of 210,000 jobs originally reported for the previous month.
Despite the weaker than expected job growth, the unemployment rate slid to 3.9 percent in December from 4.2 percent in November. The unemployment rate was expected to edge down to 4.1 percent.
With the bigger than expected decrease, the unemployment rate fell to its lowest level since hitting 3.5 percent in February of 2020.
The minutes of the latest Fed meeting, released earlier this week, suggested the central bank could begin raising interest rates and shrinking its balance as soon as mid-March in an effort to combat elevated inflation.
“This latest jobs report will comfort the Fed into thinking its hawkish policy pivot is justified with the economy making progress toward maximum employment,” said Gregory Daco, Chief U.S. Economist at Oxford Economics.
He added, “The Fed will continue signaling earlier and faster tightening of monetary policy to prevent inflation expectations from becoming unanchored and to ensure financial conditions gradually tighten.”
Next week’s trading may be impacted by reaction to reports on consumer and producer price inflation, retail sales and industrial production as well as Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony before a Senate Banking Committee hearing on his renomination.
Bond traders are also likely to keep an eye on the results of the Treasury Department’s auctions of three-year and ten-year notes and thirty-year bonds.

It’s one of the development proposals that has prompted renewed calls for a tree-cutting bylaw along with clearcutting at 119 Townline Road East, known as the Summit development. Huntsville does not have a tree-cutting bylaw and is therefore unable to prevent the clearcutting of trees on private property.
The proposed subdivision at 120 Town Line Road East with access to Forbes Hill Drive, whose developer has also been maligned for clear-cutting a swathe of land before planning approvals were in place, returned to Huntsville’s planning committee on October 14.
The lot at 120 Town Line Road East has preexisting development rights for five estate residential lots but the developer has put forth an amendment for the creation of 14 residential lots. Each lot would have a minimum area of 685 m² with about 18 metres of frontage on a private condominium road. The largest lot would be about 5.1 hectares in area. Each lot would be serviced by municipal water and sewer services. An internal private road would connect the lots and provide access to Forbes Hill Drive over an existing private road known as Town Line Road East, according to planning reports.
The application made its way to committee last month, essentially asking its members to sign off on a request for condominium and draft subdivision approvals at the District, but committee members refused, with the majority preferring to defer the application pending further discussions with the developer regarding things like the creation of trails and the overall environmental impact of tree removal.
Huntsville Mayor Karin Terziano led the charge saying she was not a fan of the project.
Councillor Jonathan Wiebe concurred. “I won’t be supporting this application, nowhere near, but I also thank the applicant because now I believe we are positioned to discuss a tree-cutting bylaw because they’ve essentially left us no choice.”
Deputy Mayor and committee chair Nancy Alcock said she was hoping to see a more resilient and progressive development, and guided staff on some of the issues she hoped could be addressed with the developer.
The application returned to committee on October 14, along with a conceptual drawing and a letter to the Mayor and council from the developer, Barry Barisic.
In a letter to councillors, Barisic noted that the initial approval for the five lots had received a peer-reviewed environmental impact study indicating that no cutting of trees be undertaken during nesting season between April and October.
“Clearing was eventually done in February 2020 consistent with the approval and accounted for approximately 15 per cent of the property. The remaining portion of the rugged property shall remain in its natural state,” he noted.
Prompted by a question from Terziano, staff said they could not confirm or deny whether just 15 per cent of the property had in fact been cleared.
Barisic also premised in his letter that the clear-cutting that had taken place was not done with 14 but with the five approved lots in mind.
“With regard to the criticism that clearing was done on the revised proposal, in fact the clearing conducted was consistent with the needs of the approved development and it closely matches the later revised proposal submitted. The building envelope is virtually the same. Engineering studies concluded that due to the nature of the topography, a low lying wet area on top of the ridge with very few healthy trees where the principal home was to be built, a low lying area close to Townline Rd. and a steep ridge in between the two, meant that extensive grading would be necessary in the building envelope in order to facilitate the road construction, build functional water drainage and install appropriate services. The survival of any trees in that envelope was unlikely given this grading requirement,” he stated.
The applicant agreed to construct a pedestrian path between the proposed entrance to the cul de sac and the Forbes Hill Drive and Town Line Road East intersection, along the private portion of the road, among other requirements.
Prompted by questions from Wiebe asking what would make the buildings stand out from an environmental perspective and make the development something that would be welcomed in the community, Barisic , who was available at the meeting remotely, said he’s planning on investigating the use of solar panels where possible and intends to implement other technology, also wherever possible, to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
“I think you will be pleased when this project is completed. There’s ample space for reforesting, replanting, and landscaping and I believe the location is unique, and once completed it will stand out as a positive in Huntsville,” said Barisic. “As far as my environmentalism is concerned, I stand on my record and I’m quite proud of it. It was no pleasure removing those trees, but if you’ve taken a look at what was actually there before the trees were removed, only a trailerful of trees were actually removed from that property. Sparsely forested second growth with a few large trees in between and frankly the upper part was a swale that was holding water and preventing any kind of forest to thrive. Once properly graded and landscaped, I think this will be a very nice development.”
In the end, the majority of committee members voted in favour of recommending that the District move forward with the required applications, with Wiebe voting against it.

Released in 1966, Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles is one of the most iconic songs that tells a story. The song starts with an introduction to Eleanor, who “lives in a dream.”

The song ends with a somber realization that Eleanor will live her life alone, for no one could ever truly understand or accept her.
The lyrics of the song serve to provide an insight into the lives of people who suffer from loneliness and isolation.
It has been interpreted in various ways, with some saying it is a commentary on the loneliness of modern life, while others view it as an allegorical story about how relationships can fail.
Either way, the song conveys a powerful message about the need for connection and understanding in our lives.
Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes.
Written and released in 1979, Escape is a song written from the perspective of a married man who seeks an escape from his mundane life.
The protagonist places a want ad in the newspaper seeking an individual to “share a warmth, curiosity” and ultimately help him break away from his lonely reality.
Through the song, Holmes paints an image of alienation and the search for something more with lyrics like “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and it’s really got me down, that colorless existence has got my spirit all bound.”
The song is ultimately about making an attempt to break away from routine and create an adventure in life, even if only for one night.
The single was a surprise hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming Holmes’ signature song.
It stands as a reminder that, in life, it’s sometimes important to take a step back and try something new. Even if it isn’t permanent or successful, the experience of taking a risk is invaluable.
Fancy by Reba McEntire.
Fancy by Reba McEntire is an iconic story song that paints a vivid picture of heartbreak and resilience. The song tells the story of a young woman who has been abandoned by her lover and left to fend for herself on the streets of Nashville.
Despite the hardships she faces, Fancy remains resilient and determined to make something of herself. Through catchy lyrics and a signature twang, McEntire conveys the struggles Fancy experiences as she navigates life on her own.
The song is an anthem of empowerment as she celebrates her independence and resilience in the face of adversity.
It’s a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners around the world. Not only does it tell a powerful story, but it also serves as an important reminder that we can all overcome our struggles and create a better life for ourselves.
With its catchy chorus and memorable lyrics, Fancy by Reba McEntire is a song that continues to inspire listeners and tell the story of resilience in the face of adversity.
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman.
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman tells the story of a young woman’s struggle for a better life. The song starts off talking about her childhood, growing up in a poor neighborhood with her mother and little money to get by.
She dreams of getting away from this place and having a better life, so she works hard at any job she can find, hoping for a way out.
As the song progresses, she finds that things don’t get better, no matter how hard she tries. She becomes frustrated and angry, realizing that her situation is not going to change anytime soon.
