We've had bad news regarding our local media. The Star, who owns Metroland Media, is shutting down our local papers. The Toronto Star is keeping on. We have wonderful, responsive local journalists who both celebrate and mourn local stories. Our local editor, Laurie Weir, will be out of a job at year's end, as well as many others. Meta & Twitter X, aren't able to share revenue with Canadian news agencies.

The milkweed moths must be morphing into a new stage. They have been clustered on the plant for a couple of days. Unfortunately, a couple of assassin bugs dragged one away to kill it. Circle of life...
Then, civilians: Helicopter Sept. 12, at 330 p.m; Helicopter Sept 13, at 4:00; Sept. 15; Sept. 17 at 10:30 a.m. I have fun trying to video them, and find their registration. This one is FSUE, Coywolf Aviation.

Off I go. Time to put out the garbage! It's a tad chilly, 12 C., so I'll have to put on pants.
you have such great critters. we have had rain lately ...not sure how much but seems like a fallish day ...which we love. we have needed rain. hoping it will come again soon. but i think not for a while. it is not called for. have a super great week. ( ;
ReplyDeleteI suppose our regional paper will be affected bc I am sure that it is connected to Torstar.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that the newspapers are closing down their actual paper issues. I prefer to read a real paper rather than on-line.

ReplyDeleteWe've definitely fallen over into the next season here by the Hutch. Am taking out the shawls and beanies! And having a walking stick is part of the territory for those of us less steady on our pins. No shame in that! YAM xx
It's a sad day for journalism, but nice to read that they will continue online.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, it feels like fall here today.
A walking stick is a good idea, my hubby should be using one more often.
Take care, have a wonderful week!
Y'all have some good fall color. A walking stick is a good idea even if we haven't fallen. I used to use a pair of walking poles but don't know what happened to them...
ReplyDeleteI hate to see local newspapers fold. It's really a disservice to the community. Maybe she can start her own smaller paper with just local info. At least she has a few months to figure out what to do, as have the other reporters/staff.
ReplyDeleteWe are losing too many newspapers too - which I mourn.
ReplyDeleteDuring our ski season we often see/hear helicopters ferrying casualties to hospital.
Yes, the temperature id dipping. Leaves are changing colour...
ReplyDeleteI vastly prefer a real paper.
ReplyDeleteYes Autumn/Fall is approaching quickly now.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing the changing colour of the leaves.
All the best Jan
I don't read newspapers but my husband does. He subscribes and reads them online. Chilly morning here but a nice afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a shame about your local papers. Ours went out of business about a year ago. Fascinating photos of the milkweed moths. Lovely to see all your trees and leaves. We had a sudden ‘rainfall’ of leaves earlier. Mother Nature knows! We get the local helicopter services over our neighborhood occasionally, sometimes at night. I think they practice.
