HEADLINES

  • Historic designation could change Sound - Cape Cod Times (MA) - November 16: The debate over whether to build the country's first offshore wind farm in Nantucket Sound is no stranger to challenges. The latest — a bid by the Wampanoag tribes on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard to have the 560-square-mile Sound declared eligible for the National Register of Historic Places — may top the list. From impacts on fisheries to new requirements for construction along Nantucket Sound, a finding that the Sound is eligible for the register could have wide-ranging effects on development and economic activity, opponents of the move argue.

  • Stolen kayak medals found on Saskatoon shrub - The Star Phoenix (SK) - November 12: Kia Byers' disposition is as sunny as her surroundings thanks to some exciting news she received earlier this week. The Regina paddler, who is training in Florida, was informed Monday that her medals from the 2007 Pan American Games and the 2009 world canoe and kayak championships had been found hanging on a shrub near a river in Saskatoon. The medals had been stolen from her vehicle one week earlier.

  • Old Town Canoe celebrates expansion, move to new site - Bangor Daily News (ME) - November 11: With its watercraft division now fully consolidated in Old Town, Wisconsin-based Johnson Outdoors on Tuesday held a celebration that drew state and city officials, corporate executives and invited rank-and-file employees of the Old Town Canoe manufacturing plant... On display at the event was a new gas-fired "oven" — a massive box in which aluminum boat molds filled with plastic powder are rotated evenly to create the sleek hulls of molded canoes or kayaks.
