I love your e-news about Fenelon Falls; however, I thought it important to send an environmental note about people in Ontario making inukshuks / stone piles using stones nearby, whether especially in water but also on land. You posted a photo of one in the July 30th edition (#222) and I fear it will inspire others to do it, and also lend credibility to it as an ideal pastime. The intent is enjoyment and creativity, but unfortunately, it has environmental repercussions that can be quite damaging to wildlife.
