#Elliot Lake Ontario

[intheupside]

The Pittsburgh Penguins will head north of the border to Elliot Lake, Ontario where they’ll take on the Ottawa Senators in a preseason contest on Sunday, September 29 as part of the NHL’s Kraft Hockeyville sweepstakes.

"The Pittsburgh Penguins are excited to participate in Kraft Hockeyville this fall," said President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Kyle Dubas. "Having grown up in Northern Ontario, I understand how impactful the event will be for the people of Elliot Lake and the surrounding area. The investment in Elliot Lake and the game itself provide the Penguins with a great opportunity to contribute to the growth of the sport in an area of the world that truly loves ice hockey!”

ASS YOU LIKE IT

Opening Friday in Scottsdale:

My Old Ass--18-year-old Elliot lives on an idyllic Canadian cranberry farm, but can't wait to head to college and start her life. She confesses her feelings, successfully, to her summer-long crush, and then she and her friends camp out on an island and take 'shrooms.

Under this fungal influence, Elliot, played by Maisy Stella, finds herself sitting next to the Old Ass of the title, her 39-year-old self, played by Aubrey Plaza. Younger Elliot is eager to hear dish and glamour about her future, but Older Elliot is cagey; she just advises her to avoid anybody named Chad. Soon after, Younger Elliot meets a nice young man while swimming. Guess what his name is.

The wish to go back and offer guidance and comfort to your younger self is a human perennial, perfectly expressed in the Faces anthem "Ooh La La." My Old Ass, written and directed by Megan Park, works the premise ingeniously by taking it, one might say, ass-backwards. Thus we see the story from the younger heroine's point of view; that is, from the version of her who, being young, knows everything and is unlikely to consciously accept an older person's counsel. Yet we also see Older Elliot's healthy influence on her behavior.

Stella carries the movie sweetly as Younger Elliot, with a suggestion that she's trying to present as more daring and sardonic and above-it-all than she really is. Her supposed mortification at her provincial circumstances is a less than convincing pose. In the much smaller role of Older Elliot, Plaza's guarded, pained manner complements Stella's performance amusingly, and credibly.

Percy Hynes White, as the amiable Chad, is the other standout of the small cast. The settings--the film was shot in Muskoka Lakes, Ontario--are breathtaking, and the movie glides very agreeably through its brief running time. There's one sequence, involving a Justin Bieber song, that's truly hilarious, but otherwise My Old Ass feels, really, a little mild and undemanding.

This, paradoxically, may be what's most striking about it. Elliot identifies as gay, you see; the crush with whom she makes out early on is a (slightly) older woman. Park doesn't make a big deal about this, and she's almost equally nonchalant when Elliot finds herself attracted to Chad and begins to question her long-held assumptions about her own sexuality.

In the real world, of course, and in this day and age, this probably really does reflect normal teen development. But I couldn't help thinking about the tizzy that this would have stirred up from a teen flick even ten years ago, much less twenty. Like 2018's Love Simon, the sunny, breezy My Old Ass may be most remarkable for how unremarkable it is.

The Doug Ford government is aiming to slap restrictions on floating homes that are provoking controversy in Ontario's cottage country Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry cites "an increase in the number and types of structures and things being used for overnight accommodation on Ontario's lakes and rivers" as the reason behind proposed rule changes.

The changes would ban what the province describes as "float homes" and "barges with residential units" from overnight stays on water over public land, which includes the beds of most lakes and rivers in Ontario.

During consultations on the issue, the ministry received feedback that suggested the current rules for overnight accommodation on the water are too permissive.

Graydon Smith, Ontario's minister of natural resources, said in an interview that the intent of the proposal is to restrict large floating homes that are "outside the scope" of the boats typically seen on the province's lakes and rivers.

"We want to get it right," said Smith do believe we're on the right path News has previously reported on how cottagers and municipalities have raised concerns about shipping containers converted into floating accommodations on lakes in the Muskoka region.

Officials say the converted shipping containers are the chief target of the proposed regulation one thing we don't want to be doing is ensnaring the traditional boating, cruising, sailing vessels that are a big part of Ontario and our tourism economy," said Smith.

What's unclear is whether the proposed ban would succeed in restricting the floating shipping container homes because Transport Canada has designated floating homes as vessels, which gives them the same rights as houseboats, motorboats or sailboats to anchor overnight in public navigable waters.

Transport Canada said in a statement that floating accommodations "are considered vessels — just like barges province's proposed ban on floating accommodations defines them as "house-like structures incorporating a floatation system, intended for … residential or longer-term purposes and not primarily intended for, or usable in, navigation."

Joe Nimens lives in cottage country year-round in a floating home constructed from a pair of 16-metre-long shipping containers and is building six more for clients.

"Business is booming," Nimens said in an interview from his floating home, docked at a marina in Port Severn, about 150 kilometres north of Toronto. "The one that we started first will be going in the water in the next few weeks."

Nimens says he suspects his floating homes are the province's target and believes that they're trying to discourage us from doing what we're doing, but I don't see any way that the proposed regulation would affect us," he said.

"Boats come in all kinds of sizes and shapes," said Nimens don't have any idea what distinction [the province has] in mind between a floating accommodation and a vessel."

Nimens' critics also doubt the province's proposed ban on floating homes will shut him down really feel that these measures are meaningless," said Cheryl Elliot-Fraser, president of the Gloucester Pool Cottagers' Association, representing about 400 cottage owners on the large body of water that extends northeast from Port Severn.

"We think (the Ministry of Natural Resources) is doing a lot of hand-waving," said Claude Ricks, another member of the cottagers' association. "They truly don't understand the vessel designation trumps all."

Township of Georgian Bay Mayor Peter Koetsier says he applauds the provincial government for doing what it can about the issue do appreciate the fact that they are recognizing that these floating accommodations, floating homes, whatever you like to call them, are not properly covered in the rules and regulations that currently exist,'" said Koetsier.

While Koetsier said the province's proposed changes are part of the solution, he believes there will still be confusion over how they can operate unless Transport Canada changes its designation.

Real Estate Agent or Cash Home Buyer

If you're selling your house, there are two types of buyers: real estate agents and cash home buyers.

Real estate agents are paid by the seller to help find a buyer for their property. They can earn a commission on the sale of your house as well as any commissions earned from other transactions related to that same property (for example, if they sell another house nearby).

Cash home buyers pay money upfront in order to purchase a new home without going through an agent or broker first—they aren't involved in any negotiations with sellers. This type of transaction is usually done through direct contact between seller and buyer via email or phone calls over several weeks until everything has been finalized; no outside party will be involved except for maybe an attorney who may need some legal documentation signed off on before closing day arrives at last!

Cash home buyers are in the business of purchasing homes. They may be investors who are looking to make some money off a property or they may be individuals who simply want to own their own home and don't mind paying cash for it.

Perry’s Victory on Lake Erie

Photo provided by: Erie History

"On a beautiful September Friday in 1813, Oliver Hazard Perry’s nine-ship squadron of hastily built ships and converted merchant vessels defeated a six-ship British squadron off Put-in-Bay at the western end of Lake Erie. It was the first time in United States naval history that an entire enemy fleet was captured.  This meant American control of the lake.

The story of Perry’s victory began the previous year. The United States declared war on Britain in the summer of 1812. Tensions had been brewing for some time. Westward expansion of the fast-growing nation was stalled by native tribes of the Midwest and stirred by the British in Canada and by the impressment, basically kidnapping of American sailors on the high seas, all of which fanned the flames. The United States had attempted to remain neutral, trading with both Britain and France, then embroiled in the Napoleonic Wars in Europe. In June 1812, Congress declared war on Britain.

In August 1812, Ft. Detroit, Mackinac and Ft. Dearborn (Chicago) all fell, resulting in British control of the Michigan Territory. Erie ship captain Daniel Dobbins was at Detroit when it fell and managed to make his way to Erie where Pennsylvania Militia commander for the region Gen. David Mead told him he needed to take the news of the defeat to President James Madison in Washington, D.C. There, Dobbins convinced officials of the need to build a naval squadron on Lake Erie, and he knew just the place to do it. Erie, with its protected bay, would make a perfect place to build and equip a fleet. With $2,000 in his pocket, Dobbins returned to Erie to begin his enormous task.

The only resource at his disposal there was timber. Everything else, iron, cannon and men would have to come from elsewhere. In a hastily constructed shipyard at the foot of modern Cascade St., Dobbins began the construction or conversion of six ships in Erie. In January 1813, Commodore Isaac Chauncey,  commander of all U.S. naval forces on the Great Lakes, arrived from Lake Ontario. He instructed Dobbins to enlarge two of the partially built ships. Later that winter, seasoned ship builder Noah Brown arrived and the construction of two lager briggs, later to be Named Lawrence and Niagara, began. Brown wrote “Plain work is all that is required; they will be wanted for only one battle.”

In March 1813, 27-year-old Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry arrived in Erie to take command. A veteran naval officer, Perry had been languishing without a command, most of the U.S. Navy then being blockaded in Atlantic ports by the British navy, the largest in the world. Perry faced many challenges, foremost of which was a shortage of men. Perry grew frustrated with what seemed to be a lack of cooperation with Commodore Chauncey. His fleet would set sail that August with fewer men than Perry wanted and only about 200 experienced sailors among them, and an undetermined number of African American sailors. Many of these men had seen previous service aboard the U.S.S. Constitution earlier in the war. Perry complained that too many of his men were “a motley set-Negroes, soldiers and boys.” Chauncey wrote to Perry that he considered these black sailors were “amongst my best men '' and they would serve gallantly during the upcoming battle. The comment by Perry was a result of frustration with recruitment not racism, and he had nothing but praise for the African American sailors.

As the American fleet neared completion, Perry drilled his men in gunnery and ship handling. The two largest American ships, Lawrence, named for naval hero Captain James Lawrence killed earlier in the war, and Niagara were both armed with 18 332 pounder carronades-short-barreled guns that were deadly at close range and 2 12 pounder long guns with a much greater range. Lt. Jesse D. Elliot would command Niagara while Perry made Lawrence his flagship. Meanwhile, the British fleet out of Amherstburg, Ontario, at the western end of the lake, was also making ready for battle. Its commander Robert Barclay had similar problems to those of Perry. Short of men and supplies, Barclay sailed his nine ships to Long Point, and established it as his headquarters. Barclay effectively blockaded Perry’s squadron inside Presque Isle Bay and should have attacked but instead withdrew toward the western end of the lake on July 31, 1813. What became known as “Perry’s Luck” was on display.

In early August, Perry’s ships sailed into the open lake. The two brigs, Lawrence and Niagara were too large to get across the sandbar at the mouth of the bay. Noah Brown ordered “camels,” large wooden barges filled with water attached to the sides of the brigs. When pumped out, the ships were lifted high enough to pass over the sandbar and refitted with the rigging and other weight that had made passage impossible. Perry’s fleet set sail for the western end of Lake Erie, in search of Barclay.

Photo provided by: Erie History

At dawn on September 10, 1813, Barclay’s fleet was sighted at anchor just to the northwest of Put-in-Bay. Perry ordered his ships “cleared for action,” the decks sprinkled with sand for traction when the blood began to flow. He ordered his new battle flag, emblazoned with the dying words of Capt. James Lawrence “Don’t Give Up The Ship.” The flag had been sewn by a group of women in Erie just for this moment.

One man was missing. Daniel Dobbins who had made it all happen was not there. Commanding officer of Ohio was sent back to Erie for supplies. Missing the battle was one of Dobbins’ greatest regrets of his life.

With the wind in his favor, Perry closed with the British who opened a tremendous hail of iron against Lawrence. 83 of her crew 0f 102 were killed or wounded as the ship was torn by the fire from the British. The deck ran red with blood. Below deck in the officer’s wardroom, assistant surgeon Usher Parsons tended to the growing number of wounded. A British shot pierced the ship’s side and tore a wounded man from his arms. Perry’s black spaniel howled through the battle from a storage closet below deck. Where was Niagara and Elliott?

Frustrated by the failure of Niagara to join the fight, Perry transferred his battle flag to the other brig in one of the ship’s longboats. Once aboard the Niagara (an embarrassed Elliott left in the boat Perry had come in and worked to bring up the lagging smaller ships of the fleet.) Perry brought Niagara into the battle, “Crossing the T” sailing through the now disrupted British line. Warships of the day mounted no guns fore or aft so they were defenseless. With Captain Barclay mortally wounded aboard his flagship Detroit, the British ship began to “strike their colors,” meaning lowering their flags, as a sign of surrender. Perry had won the Battle of Lake Erie,

Oliver Hazard Perry would be hailed as a national hero, and the United States, like Perry, was lucky in the remaining War of 1812. Perry and Elliott would feud in writing for years to come. Perry tried to compliment Elliott, but Elliot would not let the matter rest, even after Perry’s untimely death of yellow fever on his birthday, August 23, 1819, at the age of 34. He is buried in Newport, Rhode Island.

Today, visitors can see a bust of Perry and Perry’s sword and telescope he used in the battle at the Hagen History Center in Erie, Pennsylvania, and can visit the Erie Maritime Museum to see the reconstructed Niagara.

For a five-year term, the options are exercisable at a cost of $0.50.

On Appia

Appia is a publicly traded Canadian business that operates in the uranium and rare earth element industries. On its properties Otherside, Loranger, North Wollaston, and Eastside, the Company is presently concentrating on defining high-grade key rare earth elements and gallium on the Alces Lake property as well as exploring for high-grade uranium in the abundant Athabasca Basin.

The Alces Lake project is situated in Saskatchewan's northern region, the same province that is building Canada's "first-of-its-kind" rare earth processing facility (currently under construction by the Saskatchewan Research Council and scheduled to become operational in early 2023). Appia owns the entire 35,682 hectares (88,173 acres) of the Alces Lake project area.

With many surface and near-surface monazite deposits that are still accessible at depth and along strike, the Alces Lake project hosts some of the highest-grade total and critical* REEs and gallium mineralization in the whole world.

Neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy), and terbium (Tb) are examples of the critical rare earth elements that are in short supply and high demand for usage in permanent magnets and contemporary electrical applications such as electric cars and wind turbines.

In Saskatchewan, the Company has the surface rights to conduct exploration over 110,997 hectares (274,280 acres). In the Ontario community of Elliot Lake Camp, where rare earth element and uranium deposits are spread across 12,545 hectares (31,000 acres), the company also owns a 100% interest.

Appia has 123.1 million outstanding common shares, with 146.5 million fully diluted.
