Forgetting as a (mis)place, 1

1 When I retired earlier this year, I packed up my university office library into 16 or so large boxes and crates and several bags for life (now sacs pour livres). While doing so I came across a library book I had been advancing – painfully slowly – through and thought to myself very sternly, ‘Do not put this in a large box, crate, or sac where it will be forgotten…’ By the time the return…

Sam Fender: Local Hero or Hype?

Local Singer-Songwriter Sam Fender has just performed the biggest two gigs of his life, to an army of adoring fans at his beloved St. James’ Park in Newcastle. Unlike the majority of my social media feed, I gave it a miss. What on earth is wrong with me? Sam Fender is a phenomenal vocalist. One thing that is beyond debate is just what a great singer Sam Fender is. His god-given tenor range sets…

Hillwalking & meditation

Hillwalking & meditation retreat. Despite the train strike, I managed to get up to Stirling, without any drama. I  got into a shared mini-bus up to Dhanakosa the Buddhist Retreat Centre. It had been a long time since I visited; (10 years) last time was a yoga retreat. I thought I would try the Hill Walking & Meditation course. We did 3 days of hillwalking and a lot of meditation it is an…

Yellowknife, NWT (No. 8)

Frame Lake is located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. It is an 84-hectare (210-acre) endorheic freshwater body located between the city's downtown section and a larger residential area. The Frame Lake Trail circles it, and city hall and the territorial legislative assembly building are on its shores.

Formed by meltwater after the end of the Wisconsin glaciation 20,000 years ago, Frame has been an important part of Yellowknife's history. The Dene in the area used it as a fishing spot before European settlement. In the early years of the city's growth, gold mines nearby dumped tailings in it and sometimes sewage. Later, when the city's New Town, now its downtown section, was surveyed and developed nearby, Frame offered accessible swimming and boating opportunities.

However, storm sewers diverted much of the runoff that fed it. Later development blocked the lake's only outflow, leaving it endorheic and complicating the problems caused by earlier pollution. By the early 1970s it no longer supported any fish; within two decades residents had stopped swimming or boating it out of fear of leeches. Subsequent studies have shown that the lake completely eutrophied sometime in the mid-1990s. They have not, however, been able to determine whether that was due to climate change, pollution or some combination of both; the possibility exists that the lake has always been at a higher trophic state than others in the area.

Some city residents have agitated for efforts to reclaim the lake so it will once again be a destination for swimmers, anglers and boaters in warm weather. To do so, it will be necessary to reoxygenate the water to the point that fish can again inhabit its waters. This could be accomplished either by aeration or dredging, which would remove the accumulated rotted organic matter on the lake bed that currently renders it anoxic when the lake is frozen over in the winter.
