m illion per y ear due to econo m ic losses in recreational and co mm ercial fishing and boating, da m ages to infrastructure, and other co m plications resulting fro m the associ- ated algae growth. Since 2010, enforce m ent officers have seized al m ost 39,000 pounds of Asian carp that were destined for Ontario m arkets. Garlic m ustard was brought over fro m Europe as an edible herb. It has spread throughout southern Ontario and out-co m petes native wildflowers such as the trilliu m , our provincial flower. Round gobies, a fish species, are aggressive feeders and steal eggs fro m nesting s m all m outh bass. The e m erald ash borer is a highl y invasive insect that has killed m illions of ash trees in southern Ontario. Posing a m ajor econo m ic and environ m ental threat to urban and forested areas, these m ean little bugs have been detected in Prescott-Russell. People in Prescott-Russell cannot m ove ash wood out of the area without clearance fro m the Canadian Food Inspection Agenc y . Offenders will face fines and possible cri m inal prosecution. The products affected include firewood or an y lu m ber or other m aterials m ade out of local ash wood. Plus, keep y our head on a swivel if y ou co m e in contact with vegetation. When co m bined with sun exposure, the sap fro m the giant hogweed can cause skin to burn and infla m e. In so m e cases, affected areas can re m ain sensitive to UV light y ears after exposure. Ah, the jo y s of su mm er.
Swivel through summer “Keep y our head on a swivel.” That piece of advice is hand y to re m e m ber when, for exa m ple, y ou are pla y ing football and do not want to get blindsided b y a linebacker, or y ou are skating through the neutral zone and do not want to get bod y -checked b y a burl y defence m an. That rule of self-preservation is also hand y when y ou are driving, and want to ensure that a peaceful su mm er outing does not involve contact with other vehicles, or e m er- genc y personnel. As the y sa y after accidents occur, ever y thing happens quickl y and bad things tend to happen even m ore quickl y . Case in point: You are travelling along a bus y , winding, two-lane highwa y , so m ewhere west of Ottawa, at the end of a long holida y weekend. It is as hot as Hades. After a so- journ in cottage countr y , it is ti m e to return to the routine. In the distance, y ou see black s m oke. This is not a barbecue. As the line of traffic approaches the source of the fu m es, it is obvious that a building of so m e sort is on fire. Then y ou realize that because of road construction, traffic is reduced to one lane. And, y ou guessed it, the scene of the fire is i mm ediatel y adjacent to where traffic is beginning to back up. This is not a good situation -- a fire, too m an y tired, i m patient and confused m otorists with nowhere to go, congestion that m ight prevent rescuers fro m reaching the inferno. One alert m otorist, who obviousl y has his head on a swivel, m otions others to pull over to the side of the road. Suddenl y , there are sirens, flashing lights, fire trucks. Fortunatel y , cool heads prevail. The vehicles m anoeuvre awa y fro m the entrance to the fire scene, creating an opening for fire trucks and volunteer fire fighters. Hoses are quickl y unrolled; water is spra y ed on the fla m es. A collective sigh of relief is heaved. Traffic begins m oving again, so y ou are not sure how this particular fire stor y ends, but y ou assure y ourself that it could have been m uch worse. You also m ake a m ental note that when y ou get ho m e, y ou will check the batteries in y our s m oke detectors and m ake sure there is a garden hose near the barbecue. You wonder – touch wood – wh y there are not m ore su mm erti m e blues. Boats, water, ga m es, part y ing, ca m pfires, hatchets, various cooking and cutting devices, steep and nar- row gravel roads --the y are all part of the experience. But the y can also beco m e hazards. And y our m ental health can suffer when y ou are subjected to a non-stop assault on the senses b y those dreaded personal water crafts that are too loud, too nu m erous and too anno y ing. Plus, there is alwa y s so m e gung-ho lu m berjack who fires up the chainsaw at 8 a. m . on a Sunda y . However, a few m inor distractions cannot detract fro m the jo y s and wonders of the great outdoors, which fortunatel y still re m ain easil y accessible. You just have to be careful out there, and be war y of m enaces such as tailgaters, rub- ber-neckers, speeders. Vigilance can never take a vacation. Which brings us to the good news that Ontario has developed a plan to co m bat inva- sive species in order to protect the province’s environ m ent and its econo my . The Ontario Invasive Species Strategic Plan outlines Ontario’s approach to the preven- tion, earl y detection, and rapid response to new invasive species and the effective m an- age m ent of existing invasive species like round gob y , zebra m ussels and the e m erald ash borer. Several m inistries will work together to ensure threats to the province’s biodiver- sit y and its econo my are dealt with as effectivel y as possible, sa y s the govern m ent. The govern m ent has also co mm itted to renew its partnership with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters to pro m ote greater public awareness of invasive species through education and outreach — a m ajor goal in the plan. Invasive species are those that co m e fro m other countries or regions and threaten the environ m ent, econo my or societ y b y disrupting local ecos y ste m s. The y are the second greatest threat to Ontario’s biodiversit y after habitat loss. The list includes zebra m ussels that cost the province between $75 m illion and $91
