The eyes have it. by Ric McArthur Via Flickr: Grey tree frog. We had a 60 foot snag come down during a wind storm the other day. Really concerned as it was the tree the red-headed woodpeckers and flickers use for nesting. The birds are still here so they weren't in the tree or got out before it came down. While we were inspecting the nest holes this grey tree frog popped out and jumped onto a stalk of grass. Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Aug 30, 2022.

"A veteran Chatham-Kent Public Health nurse has been fired, and believes it was because she spoke out against the southwestern Ontario health unit's connection to an anti-abortion service provider.

Carolyn Martin was terminated last month, roughly a week after speaking with CBC News about CK Public Health listing Refuge as a resource for women and families. The private organization, founded by Right to Life Kent, is run by a director with "pro-life" views, facts that aren't always clear to pregnant teenagers and adults before entering.

Martin, a CK Public Health nurse for 20 years, disagreed with the health unit's affiliation with Refuge, saying she felt compelled to speak out after trying to effect change internally for years.

Officially, the 54-year-old lost her job because she didn't provide a sick note, according to emails from a human resources officer. But Martin believes her termination is linked to her going public about her opposition to some CK Public Health policies."

Photographs taken by Yon Shimizu, a Japanese-Canadian who was exiled from the west coast of Canada to Ontario during the second World War, along with hundreds of other Japanese-Canadian men. In 1942, he worked along with several dozen other men as a farm labourer with the Ontario Farm Service Force near Glencoe, equidistant from Sarnia, London and Chatham.  These are photographs he took of the sugarbeet harvest, and were digitized from a DVD of Yon Shimizu’s scrapbook by the Southwestern Ontario Digital Archive. All dated 1942 though they definitely show a range of time during that summer and fall - final harvesting of sugarbeets is in late October or November, and the last photo shows the men huddling from the cold in November.

1) At Glencoe train station; the ‘49′ Gang, according to the caption. Left to right: Tsutomu "Stum" Shimizu, E. Ono, T. Okamoto, T. Kuwabara.

2) Blocking 48 Gang, that is, thinning or "blocking" the sugar beets; left to right: S. Miyashita, Y. Madokoro, S. Kawahara, J. Henmi.

3) “He-Men.” Left to right: B. Hoita, K. Goto, T. Hoita.

4) “Siesta Time!” T. Okamoto taking a siesta during the beet harvest.

10) Lunch, Cold November Day

Hey mister, there's no food in this water. by Ric McArthur Via Flickr: A large raccoon plopped down at the top of the stream and looked around for about three minutes before wandering off after having a drink.

In 1942, he worked along with several dozen other men as a farm labourer with the Ontario Farm Service Force near Glencoe, equidistant from Sarnia, London and Chatham.  These are photographs he took of the tobacco harvest, and were digitized from a DVD of Yon Shimizu’s scrapbook by the Southwestern Ontario Digital Archive and the University of Windsor’s Leddy Library. All dated 1942 though they definitely show a range of time during that summer, likely in August. Notably, in a number of these pictures the internees are mingling and working alongside white farm labourers and farmers. 

1) “Sheiks.”  Left to right: Tomo, "Killer", Stum, relaxing near the farm house of the tobacco fields they would be harvesting.

2) “Where's The End?” Yon Shimizu, the photographer, becomes the subject, standing in the tobacco fields.

3) In The Tobacco Fields. Left to right: Hama, Ono, Shimizu, Hoita, Tosa, Kuwabara.

4) “In Action!” 

5) Transporting The Tobacco Leaves.

6) “To The Kiln.” The kiln was used to store, steam, cure, and then pack the tobacco into bales for auction.
