If this barrel is yours , the property owner is asking to please pick it up from the ..NARROWS…North side.     Thank you.

We are in difficult times….if you staying isolated ..and this barrel is yours ..please respond… to this post and we will go from there..

The white barrel is still waiting for its owner as well

Look….we all share the ..COMMON ELEMENT ,,,Brandy lake.

Everyone of us should consider being responsible for her health and beauty.

I have had my bay filled with sawdust…picked up floating beer can boats.    Lumber with nail or screws sticking out..?????

Cottagers at the far west end are constantly picking up floating  garbage.

Work together ..keep Brandy Lake ..nice…she is…..our common Front Yard. 

 

 

STUPID 2

I still think the beer cans screwed to a board ranks as #1

The note  below from a concerned cottage is a pretty close 2nd.   The amount of effort they had to go through to “fix it” is one families  concern for environment

Just to inform fellow cottagers that recently some wanker left a very heavy box of garbage at the corner of Falkenburg and Brackenrig Roads.

It consists of paint cans,  paint brushes, rebar,  plastic sheeting etc.

Of course, the local waste management company would not dispose of it.

I went to the Town Offices in Port Carling, and spoke to Public Works. They informed me that they would come and take it away for me. Not sure if they have, since I haven’t been there in over a week.

It’s so disappointing that people would do this. Just to let you (me ..web guy) know, and our neighbours.

Stupid 1 Revisited:

 

Seriously…Is This a Dumb Move

3 BEER CANS SCREWED TO A BOARD AND SET AFLOAT IN THE LAKE ..

So…this floated up on my shore…but this type of stuff happening  over a wide range of venues  anymore…

Simply no common sense thinking!!

OK….weekend skier maybe would see it…..but some of us cut the wake at a high rate of speed…not looking for killer items in water..

What about kids on tubes ..driver doing a good job for fun…kids have no chance to avoid…a potential death blow

 

Return of Muskoka Passenger Rail .. Have Your Say

Have Your Say! Survey Supporting Return of Passenger Rail Services to Northeastern Ontario

Information Sent To Me....see survey below 

DID YOU KNOW? 51% of passengers riding the train on the north/south line before it was cancelled in 2012 got on or off the train south of North Bay.

Transportation to and from Muskoka is important for several reasons:

  • Our population more than triples with seasonal property owners – resulting in more congestion on our highways.
  • Imagine if we  invited our family and friends to come by train? Particularly interesting if Ontario Northland connects with the GO service and the rest of the GTHA.
  • Imagine if they could come up after work Friday and return Sunday evening?
  • The reality of living in Muskoka with good internet service provides an option to commuting to Toronto for employment.
  • Visitors from around the world could come by train – a very common mode of transportation in other countries.
  • Best of all – you may be able to avoid the 400 parking lot!

WHY DO WE NEED PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE IN MUSKOKA?

To serve BOTH our residents and visitors with sustainable year round travel north and south.

Restoring passenger trains to service Muskoka and points north will provide huge benefits:

  • Access to many more patrons;
  • Scenic rides attracting more tourists;
  • Reduce carbon emissions – rail produces 10 times less than road, 20 times less than air;
  • Safe, reliable service during inclement weather and traffic accidents (road closures);
  • Ease of use for those with physical and/or financial constraints;
  • Relief from increased fuel costs – less wear and tear on roads;
  • Less tiring and more comfortable than other means.
