super ufa McGowan Falls might not be very large, but it is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in midwestern Ontario. But wear and tear on the associated dam from holding back frazzle ice over the past 20 years has taken its toll, say the owners of the Upper Durham Dam, the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority (SVCA). “This dam cannot hold up to the pressures of that ice applying itself to the top of the dam. And three different engineering reports have confirmed that indeed, it is a safety hazard to continue to operate in that way,” said Erik Downing, general manager with the SVCA. Those reports say damage from holding back that winter ice and water have caused “severe concrete damage” to the dam, which “poses a risk of structural failure.” So, the SVCA will pull the flashboards and stoplogs that hold that ice and water back each winter, allowing for a free-flowing river. That’s caused concern for the local mayor, Kevin Eccles. He said he’s worried about safety of a different kind. The safety of the community of Durham. In 1997, when the stoplogs and flashboards were also removed, the town almost flooded after frazzle ice plugged up the Saugeen River flowing through the middle of town.

We came very close to even losing the bridge over Highway 6, and the dam,” said Eccles. After that, in 2006 as a pilot project, the flashboards and stoplogs were kept in Durham’s upper dam during the winter to control the frazzle ice buildup. It appeared to work, so going back to the way it was before 2006 with no dam controls for the frazzle ice has Eccles worried about a repeat performance of 1997, or worse. “By not doing it the way it has been done with the boards in, I'm not sure that it would be a unique situation, to flood the whole town at this point in time,” said Eccles. Frazzle Ice near the Durham Upper Dam. (Source: Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority) Downing said they can no longer ignore the engineering reports from 2021, 2022, and 2024 that say the dam is in danger of failure if the winter boards stay in. “This dam cannot hold up to those forces. There's three structural engineers reports that say that the dam is at risk if we continue in this way, and it has seen significant damage over the last 20 years,” said Downing. “The liabilities of changing the operations I don't think have been thought through totally yet. I'm hopeful that there’s a change in mindset from both the Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources, for the protection of the community here in Durham,” said Eccles.

Stay ConnectedVaccines don't cause autism. What does?So, King Charles III finally turned up for the Australian leg of his victory lap of the Commonwealth. History editor Dr Glenn Davies declares it's time an Australian head of state was one of us... and also a resident. IT'S BEEN OVER two years since then-Prince Charles stepped into the top job. A royal tour between 18 and 26 October 2024 marked the first time that Australians experienced a royal audience with their king. After over ten years, four governors-general and two monarchs, a sitting Australian Head of State finally appeared Down Under! Our absentee King’s 17,000-kilometre journey from the other side of the world saw Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla , grace us with the presence of a British Monarch on Australian soil for the first time as our Head of State (although the grace was presented only in Sydney and Canberra). King Charles III was greeted in Canberra by the Prime Minister, but not a single state leader — all declined their invitations , citing “other commitments” ranging from election campaigns to cabinet meetings. Paying a King's ransom King Charles-the-whatever is coming to Australia on 18 October until some other date you can no doubt find in your calendar, if you could be bothered. Queensland experienced its second King’s Birthday Public Holiday — even though KCIII’s actual birthday is 19 November. Queenslanders took the day off work; not in recognition of their hard work, but to recognise the British Monarch who will most likely be sleeping through our public holiday. The King’s Birthday Public Holiday doesn’t remind us of anything good about our country. At worst, it tells us Australia’s head of state gets the job by inheritance. Perhaps it would have been better if the British Monarch had turned up for "his" birthday weekend? I suppose, though, that would have been awkward: a public holiday in Queensland, only at this time of year (with WA a week before) and Queensland not even on the visiting schedule. Oops. The lack of actual public activity around King’s Birthday Public Holiday shows just how much the concept of monarchy is out-of-step with contemporary Australia. Since his birth as Prince Charles, KCIII has known he would one day take over the top job. One morning in 2022, Australians simply woke up to hear news from Britain that could affect our country for decades to come. Australians did not choose King Charles III as our Head of State. It is a disgraceful fact that without Constitutional change, the citizens of Australia will never be consulted on our head of state. Etiquette tips for awed commoners when meeting King Chukka Here are some vital deportment behavioural protocols in the face of British flapdoodle. It’s time for an Australian to be our head of state and do the job full-time rather than someone working from home at Windsor Castle — who can’t be bothered Zooming into an Australian office once a week. We are a unique multicultural country and we need someone who understands how to embody us, to be the guardian of our Constitution — to be a unifying symbol at home and someone we are proud to see representing us abroad. Our head of state should be elected on merit, not gifted this position by birthright. They should have the skills and work experience to do the job. It should be one of us. A person responsible and accountable to us and unwaveringly loyal to us — and only us. We have our own identity as Australians. The Royals represent Britain and cannot represent us or really unite us as Australians. So many Australians believe in freedom and equal opportunity — not that some are born to rule over others. We come from all walks of life, from all corners of the globe and this ancient land. Our shared commitment to our common future is what binds us together. Standing against this is the elevation of Charles III. I’ve argued previously here that there is no place for princes and kings in modern Australia. The public repudiation of former PM Tony Abbott’s knights and dames decision showed that Australia has moved on from the old colonial way of thinking. We can have respect and affection for Britain and its celebrity royals but still, question why we do not have our own head of state. The British Royal Family: A cult of obsession Support for an Australian Republic referendum is persistently stifled by the mainstream media's obsession with treating the Royal family as celebrities. The royals are welcome to visit as representatives of Britain, but I look forward to when the British people and their royal family will welcome a visit by the first Australian head of state. In the words of Australian comedian and radio presenter Sammy J : "So to our King, we say g’day and we praise his DNA, his ever-loyal subjects across the sea. We might have golden soil and a bit of wealth for toil, but us Aussies are still girt by monarchy." For us in Australia, royalty only ever visits us from somewhere else, from across the seas. It’s not something that lives with us. Royalty comes and royalty goes, but it is never a true part of us. Thanks Charles, but we’ve got it from here. Toodle pip.

After whitewash, calls to stop promoting dynasts grows in BJPLAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Thomas Brown insists he's focused on the job at hand and not the one he might have down the line. His immediate task as the interim coach of the Chicago Bears is helping the team finish strong over the final five games, starting this weekend at San Francisco. The rest of his life can wait. “I think about just the moment. ... I obviously understand the role that I'm in, understand what might come with it," he said Wednesday. "But I also understand that we make most situations bigger than what it has to be because of the outside noise, what everybody else puts a value on it.” The Bears are in a moment unlike any other in the history of the founding NFL franchise. They fired a head coach for the first time during a season when they let Matt Eberflus go on Friday with a 4-8 record and the team in a six-game losing streak marked by head-scratching decisions. They promoted Brown, who in a span of three weeks went from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator and now the person in charge. The tipping point was a 23-20 loss at Detroit on Thanksgiving, when the Bears let the clock run down rather than call a timeout following a sack. It led to Caleb Williams throwing an incomplete pass from the Lions 41 as time expired when Chicago should have been able to run more than one play. Star cornerback Jaylon Johnson interrupted Eberflus' postgame speech and made his feelings clear. Other players had gone public in recent weeks with their frustrations over the coaching decisions, and they didn't exactly hide their emotions following the Detroit game. On Wednesday, defensive end DeMarcus Walker said he sensed a change was coming after the loss to the Lions. “You guys just look at the whole turnaround, how everything had been going, we just knew some changes were going to be made,” he said. The 38-year-old Brown now has a huge opportunity. He spent last season as Carolina's offensive coordinator and the previous three on Sean McVay's staff with the Los Angeles Rams — the final two as assistant head coach. Prior to that, he spent nine years as a college assistant, including stops at Wisconsin, Georgia, Miami and South Carolina. It's his job to help right a team that came into the season thinking a playoff spot was in reach. Williams' development obviously will be front and center. To that end, the No. 1 overall draft pick has looked more comfortable in the three games since Brown took over for the fired Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator, completing 75 of 117 passes for 827 yards with five touchdowns, no interceptions and a rating of 99.2. Though Brown will continue to call plays, the Bears have another new offensive coordinator in wide receivers coach Chris Beatty. “I think it is a stepping stone actually with my development because I think down the line I’ll have different OCs or different head coaches or whatever the case may be,” Williams said. “And so being able to handle it my first year, handle a new playbook, handle all these different changes, handle all of this I think it definitely will help the development instead of hurting it or anything like that.” Beyond the development of the prized quarterback, Brown also will be judged during his audition for the regular job on his preparation, decisions during games and command of the locker room. He said he reached out to each player individually on Friday and Saturday and tried to set a tone when the team met on Monday. “I want them to be excellent,” Brown said. “I can nitpick at every single play and tell a guy how he wasn’t perfect. And, so, perfection’s not the goal. It’s to excel at your craft.” Notes: The Bears had a lengthy injury report on Wednesday. WRs Keenan Allen (ankle) and DJ Moore (quad), RBs D'Andre Swift (quad) and Roschon Johnson (concussion), DB Elijah Hicks (ankle) and OL Ryan Bates (concussion) all missed practice. S Kevin Byard (shoulder) and OLs Darnnell Wright (knee) and Coleman Shelton (knee) were limited. AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

Ubisoft's Xdefiant Will Shut Down in 2025, Along With 2 Entire Studios - IGN Daily Fix In today's Daily Fix:More bad news from Ubisoft to close out the year. The company has decided to shut down its free-to-play shooter XDefiant—despite positive impressions from the game's fans and the media, there just weren't enough people playing to justify the cost of keeping the game running. And with the game's shutdown comes the closure of two studios working on it. Ubisoft's San Francisco and Osaka studios have been closed, with nearly 300 people being laid off. Ubisoft is hoping to boune back from a disappointing year with Assassin's Creed Shadows in 2025. In other news, Walton Goggins is putting the Ghoul skin back on for season 2 of Fallout.

INVEST Fresno Chairman and Newmark Pearson Commercial Senior Vice President Ethan Smith says the City of Fresno is “paralyzed” in figuring out how to implement the plan if it proceeds. The official City of Fresno website states, “The South Central Specific Plan is an area characterized by development that maximizes economic benefit and job growth for residents while reducing impacts on the environment and improving quality of life.” The plan as proposed in the 5,600-acre planning area would reduce heavy industrial acreage by 17%, and require downzoned (business park, light industrial) land use buffers between heavy industrial and sensitive uses. It would also assign residential land use designations to existing parcels with residences. Fresno Chamber of Commerce President Scott Miller will also closely monitor the South Central Specific Plan. It goes before the Fresno City Council on Dec. 5. “The South Central Plan is going to be a huge deal for local employment,” Miller said. Smith believes if Fresno is able to come up with a balance that does not hamper existing businesses, it could have an opportunity to attract new development and companies. “It has an opportunity as a city to hopefully attract some new development because right now, those companies are bypassing Fresno if they’re looking for a Central California location,” Smith said. “Their focus has been, and will likely continue to be, on nearby communities along the 99 corridor, including Madera and some of the southern Fresno County towns like Fowler, Selma and Kingsburg.” Miller also noted that Fresno’s unemployment rates are heading in the right direction. “Our unemployment is down a little bit,” Miller said. “Our property values have remained strong, even though in some other places, that’s not the case. So I believe that those trends are going to carry forward, and we’re looking forward to that.” Another area Smith highlighted was the reduced uncertainty in commercial real estate now that the election has concluded, although there are still questions. “We have some certainty now about what the next four years are going to look like,” Smith said. After a down year in 2023 across multiple sectors, 2024 is concluding positively to inspire confidence for Fresno County in 2025 and beyond. In 2022, apartment sales were the highest they’ve been since first being recorded in 2007. In 2023, sales declined by 63%, according to a report from the Fresno County Economic Development Corporation (EDC). Robin Kane, the managing director at Northmarq, believes that the decrease in sales was due to the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates to combat inflation. Although sales didn’t reach where they were in 2022, 2024 was a step in the right direction from 2023. The Fed didn’t make as many cuts as anticipated this year, but still enough to improve market conditions and investor sentiment. Another boost for the market was the failure of the Proposition 33 rent control initiative, which eased concerns among the multi-family sector, which Kane specializes in for Northmarq. Next year will likely be another challenging year, but Kane believes President-elect Donald Trump’s administration will help. However, with Trump not being able to run for re-election in 2028, Kane thinks something needs to happen sooner than later. “(Trump’s) got one shot right now, going into the spring,” Kane said. “This current congress. He’s got it since he has it. Optimism is high, but there are a lot of headwinds that he’s going to have to get through, like the Fed, the Congress and things like that.” Although there are still questions about the future, Kane says the industry is in a better spot going forward than during the pre-election period. “We may fall short of being able to meet everyone’s expectations there, but still, it’s modest growth,” Kane said. “Nothing wrong with that.” Ali Nekumanesh, the executive vice president for Deli Delicious Franchising, shared their plans for 2025. With 20 locations in the surrounding Fresno area, Nekumanesh plans to expand the popular sandwich chain to other states. “On the Franchise side, we hope to expand into the ‘sister states’ markets such as Utah, Nevada, Arizona and Oregon,” Nekumanesh said. “Our franchisees in the Bakersfield and L.A. area may be interested in expanding their holdings. First and foremost, it is expected that the QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) market nationally will grow, with revenues forecasted to reach above $630 billion by the year 2030.” He also shared some of the challenges that could arise in the coming years. “In California, there is always the ongoing threat of over/unnecessary regulations,” Nekumanesh said. “The challenges remain, including the attacks on QSR segment (Fast Food Council), Labor Costs, Menu Price Increases due to Labor and Food Costs resulting in reduced Transactions as the result of the consumers’ resistance to frequent QSRs. For the Franchising Segment, the costs of borrowing and operations will remain a challenge.” Greg Newman, president of the Clovis Chambers of Commerce, one of Fresno’s fastest-growing suburbs, is looking towards a successful 2025 with the continued development of Loma Vista, a shopping center, and the development in the surrounding areas of Clovis Community College.
