I got our very own Village Poet, Phil Cohen to come out today and help out with the spring survey under the hot sun. At least we had the best, coldest water close by. Wakefield's Louis Molgat (a water engineer) has initiated this survey which is being conducted to form a baseline of spring usage and hydrology. People ask us why we're doing this survey and some expect the worse. We say that this survey will help focus attention on the valuable drinking water this spring plays for the municipality and beyond. If there is any impact to the aquifer that provides this beautiful water from planned construction activities (mainly associated with the Highway 5 extension to Wakefield), then we will know and expect mitigation measures to be taken that will ensure the long-term viability of this drinking water resource. Thanks for your help today Phil and Lorne Shouldice for caring so many years ago!
I will be looking for other volunteers to help out with a shift or two in the near future. If anyone reads this and wants to help out for an hour or two, please call or email me.

Joni Mitchell said it long ago, "take paradise and put up a parking lot" - without water, it's even worse!
