Keeping It Clean THE NORTH WITH EYES, HANDS AND LOVE.... Meet a man who understands the North. Most clearer air and cleaner water and, except for the whirl of wind in the pines, an escape to silence. But A.J. Casson knows it as his life. For Casson it began at the age of 19 when he took his first trip to the North, to Lake Nipissing by train. Roads didn't reach much in 1917. In the delicate bloom of color and texture he saw, he responded with a profusion of land- scapes in watercolors, returning to the North again and again to record with his hands what he saw with his eyes. In 1926, at 28, he became the youngest member of the famed Group of Seven. Today, at 78, he is the only one left to recall the days when money and fame were unimaginable and sketching trips were another name for roughing it. Boulders heated in the campfire and rolled into the tent were barely warm on chilled autumn mornings on the north shore of Lake Superior. Given the other choice of the tourists and the blackflies of summer, Casson gladly chose the cold and the damp of October. There he'd stay for two weeks at a time tramping through the wilderness with his gear strapped to his back and always believing that he hadn't come to the best spot yet--that the best spot lay just around the next bend... It's always been that way for A.J. Casson: his enthusiasm for his art, his love for the land. But today A.J. Casson fears for his northern wilderness. . As an artist who's devoted 70 years of his life recording the beauty of the North, he's afraid that beauty will be trampled under the hurried years ahead. The voice of A.J. Casson is the voice of many. And. the Ontario government has listened. In 1975 the government responded with pioneering legislation to forestall the potential dangers of development--The Environmental Assessment Act. Under the act, a proponent of any major undertaking must submit to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment an inviron- mental assessment of the proposal ensuring that it offers no threat to the natural environment. The Environmental Assessment Act provides for full public participation in open hearings requested by concerned individuals or organizations. In the future, regulations under the act will be prepared to eventually include all major industry. natural environment--the forests, the waters and in the North which lie undeveloped and northward push of civilization. He's afraid that places which once courted with natural beauty will horrify with man-made pollution in the also projects proposed by municipalities and private The economic and social growth potential of Ontario is a valuable resource, but so is the and the fish and wildlife of areas across Ontario (continued) will be attending from Ontario County; August 3rd - 8:00 p.m. Ontario County Holstein Club directors' meeting Ont.
