Monday Mail: Yankees' Starting Pitching Injuries Are a Problem
The Yankees are already down 40 percent of their starting rotation
It's been a few days since the Yankees last reported an injury. I feel like the team needs one of those signs in warehouses recognizing how many days since the company's last incident. The good news is there aren't any new injuries. The bad news is Luis Severino and James Paxton are still injured.
This week's questions and comments are related to the team being unable to rid themselves of the injury bug.
Email your questions to KeefeToTheCity@gmail.com or engage on the Keefe To The City Facebook page or on Twitter to be included in the next Monday Mail.
Everybody's overreacting. All we have to do is play decent the first two months then get some arms bck. We will be fine. The rest of the division is mediocre at best. We were without two pitchers last year and won over 100 games. – Joe
I don't think anyone is overreacting to the Yankees' pitching injuries. The fact is 40 percent of the current rotation is out, and it's not like it's the Yankees' fourth and fifth starters they're without, it's their No. 2 and 3 starters.
Yes, the Yankees will be fine in terms of steamrolling the AL East, winning around 100 games and reaching the postseason. But the goal isn't to win around 100 games and the division and reach the postseason. The goal is to win the World Series. Somewhere along the way I think that goal has been diminished. Doing what the team did last year or the year before isn't good enough. Not when the championship drought is going on 11 years and the Yankees are about to begin their fourth season with their current core. At some point the Baby Bombers won't be babies anymore and with each season we're getting closer to that point.
The Yankees need Luis Severino and James Paxton to win the World Series. Otherwise eight months from now Yankees fans will be watching another team win a championship and saying what the Yankees need to do in the coming offseason to get back on top of the baseball world.
Luis Severino got his bread and now he's hurt all the time. Same with Aaron Hicks. – Kevin
Pitchers get hurt and when you throw as hard as Severino does and have for as long as he has, and when you have the drastic increase in workload, injuries happen. They happen even without those things. Here are Severino's innings since 2015, including the minors and majors (regular season and postseason) with Severino's age in parentheses:
2015 (21): 161.2
2019 (25): 21.1
Last season, Severino managed to come back and threw just 12 innings before being thrust into the highest leverage of situations with postseason starts. His current injury was mentioned after his ALCS Game 3 start and he was cleared to start a potential Game 7. The injury went away over the offseason because he was no longer pitching and then returned this spring training when he started pitching again.
Maybe we'll find out this week it's nothing more than something that needs rest. I don't think that will be the case, but I'm hoping it is.
However, don't ever compare him to Aaron Hicks.
I guess we should have gone after another starter. – Donnie
I do wish the Yankees had splurged and gotten themselves another true major league starter the same way I wish they would every offseason since you can never have enough pitching. Now that they're down two starters and will most likely be to begin the season, it's going to be up to the team's depth to fill in like it did last season.
J.A. Happ is now the team's No. 3 starter and that means Jordan Montgomery is the No. 4, which leaves the No. 5 spot open. If it's not Deivi Garcia, it could be journeyman Chad Bettis, another prospect or maybe we see Chad Green as an opener again to begin the season. The Yankees have options for how they can patch together a rotation, but we won't have any real insight into how they plan on doing so until the end of spring training.
What happened to the new conditioning coach? – Barbara
After setting the all-time single-season record for most players placed on the injured list last year, the Yankees did a complete overhaul of their training staff. Both the Paxton and Severino injuries were holdovers from last season so there is nothing yet to blame the new medical staff for.
In an ideal world we won't have to question what measures the Yankees took to prevent such an unprecedented amount of injuries and the team will get healthy and stay healthy. Unfortunately, that ideal world isn't realistic.
Don't be surprised if Gerrit Cole doesn't live up to the money the Yankees are paying him. Look what happened with the money they spent last year with Giancarlo Stanton on the bench for most of the postseason. – Norman
I have no doubt Gerrit Cole will live up his talent and ability, at least in the first few years of his deal. Asking him to maintain his current level for nine years just isn't something that can be done. If the Yankees win a single championship during Cole's tenure, his contract would have been worth it. Now I want them to win multiple championships over the next nine years, but let's start with one since it's been more than a decade since the last.
The thing that worries me about Cole is his health the way every the health of every Yankees pitcher worries me. It's rare a starting pitcher doesn't experience some issue or issues during his career and Cole is no different. To this point in his career, he's been about as healthy as you can ask anyone with his velocity and workload to be, and it's why he was able to get nine years out of the Yankees. As long as Cole is healthy, I expect him to be one of, if not the best pitcher in baseball.
As for Giancarlo Stanton, his contract is actually a bargain compared to the rest of the market … when he's healthy. The problem is he wasn't healthy last season, playing in 18 regular-season games and missing the final games of the postseason. I have said I'm giving Stanton a clean slate to begin the season and will try my best to hold back on negative comments and criticism for as long as he lets me. The first two years of Stanton as a Yankee haven't gone well. Luckily for him, he has a lot of time left to change the narrative on his Yankees career.

F.A.Q. - Solar Lighting Questions. Why Solar?
If I have access to cheap electricity rates, does solar lighting still provide value?
While solar lights generate their own power, it's prime value is a much lower install cost. For a wired solution, the minimum cost of trenching for wires and a connection to the electrical grid is $25 a foot. This per foot cost can quickly increase depending on the terrain.
How tall can I mount the luminaires?
The mounting height for luminaires will depend on the area to be illuminated and wind zone.
What is the typical spacing for your lights?
This varies by project. Generally, we recommend spacing luminaries at a distance approximately 5 to 6 times the mounting height. For example, luminaires mounted on a 16 foot pole would be spaced 80 to 96 feet apart.
Do you provide IES files?
Yes, we can provide IES files for your project upon request.
Can you help me determine what lights I need?
Absolutely! We're always happy to talk about what light would be most suitable for your project. Call us at 1 844 279-8754 or contact us.
What distribution should I choose?
The right distribution will depend on the goals and specifics of your project. We'd be happy to discuss what would work best.
How long will your fixtures last?
Our fixtures' estimated useful life is 15–20 years.
How long will the light's battery last?
Our high-performance lithium batteries have a typical useful lifespan of 8–10 years.
My light has been in storage for an extended period. Is there anything I need to do?
or the light does not illuminate.
If you see either the steady illumination or the flashes, the light will easily charge itself in the bright sun. If the light does not illuminate at all, the battery is likely very low and may need recharging. Contact us for assistance in this case at 1-844-279-8754.
Can the lights shine all night?
Our lights have the capacity to stay on all night provided they get an average of 2–3 hours of direct sunlight a day and their lighting profile is set to stay on all night. For times when conditions are less ideal, we have incorporated adaptive capabilities to ensure that the lights adjust their output so that they can stay on all night, every night.
When do your lights turn on/off?
All of our lights turn on at dusk by default. You can then choose a lighting profile to program when lights turn off, dim or turn on again through the night. The time when they turn off or dim can be set in two ways – the time elapsed from dusk or before dawn (a duration based lighting profile) or at a specific time according to a clock in the light (real-time based lighting profile).
The profile chosen at the time of order will be programmed at the factory. A lighting profile can be changed for luminaires at any time through First Light's iOS Solar Light Control app. To change the profile of First Light bollards or other luminaires, please call us at 1 844 279-8754.
*Please note that profiles 05 to 10 are currently available for First Light luminaires only.
Can a dimmer be installed on a PLB-AC?
The PLB-AC does not come with a dimmer. However, the light's driver will support an aftermarket low voltage (ELV) dimmer, also known as a trailing edge or reverse phase dimmer.
The sunlight at my site is highly variable, how do I know if your solar lights will operate effectively?
Our lights work best with 2–3 hours of direct sunlight. Without this, all of our solar powered lights are equipped with our innovative Solar Lighting Controller (SLC). The SLC in each light is self-learning which allows the lights to predicatively adapt to their surroundings, providing a level of lighting performance and reliability unmatched in other solar products. A brief conversation will determine if our SLC can provide the lighting levels you require. Please call us at 1-844-279-8754.
How long will your battery operate without (sun) the ability to recharge?
Unlike most solar lights, our products learn and adapt to its environment and therefore have the ability to predict and set the appropriate reserve levels to maintain good operation in adverse conditions. Under worst case scenarios, the battery's "autonomy" – its ability to operate without a re-charge – would be approximately 14 days.
Are your lights vandal resistant?
Yes, our lights are designed and constructed to resist damage from vandalism. Watch our video demonstration of how robust our products are.
How long does it take to install your lights?
We find that it typically takes about 5-10 minutes to install First Light solar bollards and 15-20 minutes for our solar luminaires.
Do I need an electrician to install your lights?
No. Our lights have been designed to installed by general contractors or laborers. However, we recommend consulting your local authorities to determine any legal qualifications for installation in your jurisdiction.
Are your lights a challenge to install?
Solar does not require a connection to the electrical grid, eliminating the need for trenching.
Our lights are self-contained. This means that no assembly is required and there is no need to run wiring through the mounting pole from the solar module to the light.
What type of base do you recommend for the bollards?
Our bollards are typically mounted on concrete footings.
What type of base do you recommend for the luminaires?
We recommend concrete footings for luminaire poles.
How much do your lights cost?
Pricing for our commercial quality lights vary. Contact us for a quote.
Where can I buy your lights?
We have a worldwide network of distributors and agents that provide local representation for First Light Technologies. Please call us at 1-844-279-8754 and we can connect you with a lighting expert in your area.
How quickly can I get the lights?
Our typical shipping time for the continental U.S. and Canada is 4 weeks from when payment is received.
Do you have a quick ship program?
Do your products qualify for government rebates?
Yes, our lights qualify for a number of high-value government rebates. To determine which you might qualify for in your area, please call us at 1 844-279-8754.
Where are your lights manufactured?
Our lights are manufactured at our headquarters in Victoria, BC, Canada.
Does First Light have fixtures installed in my area I can site visit?
Most likely! Give us a call and we can track down the closest installation to your location.
How do I dispose of the light's lithium battery at the end of its life?
Although lithium-ion batteries are non-toxic, it's still important to recycle them appropriately. Recycling centers that accept lithium-ion batteries are common and easy to find in the United States and Canada. Contact your local recycling center for more information.

It was only 1 year ago that I reviewed Dear Carolina, written by my talented friend, Kristy Woodson Harvey. Dear Carolina is Kristy's first book, a wonderful story with characters that are easy to love.
So I was thrilled to be asked, once again, to review Kristy's latest book, Lies and Other Acts of Love, released today!
I confess, I found this story even more riveting than Dear Carolina (and Dear Carolina was fabulous!) The multiple viewpoint of the story, woven between Lynn "Lovey", the matriarch of this family, and Annabelle, Lovey's granddaughter, kept my interest and made it difficult to put the book down.
Like Dear Carolina, this book takes place in Kristy's beloved North Carolina. After reading both books I feel a deep kindred spirit with the women of the south. I'm not trying to over-generalize, but the women are often strong, highly principled and well bred, these are characteristics I've always admired.
In this story "Lovey" is a woman of wisdom, due in part to her 60 year marriage to the love of her life, Dan, and raising 5 daughters. You don't bear 5 children and grow older without getting wiser along the way. With that wisdom there are nuances to truth, and the occasional white lie can be beneficial to all concerned.
Annabelle is a beautiful and caring young woman, with what she believes to be a perfect family. Her life becomes a little less idyllic when she breaks her engagement with the man most would consider her ideal mate, to marry a musician. Annabelle is convinced Ben, her musician husband, is the love of her life, much like her grandmother [Lovey] and grandfather's [Dan "D-daddy"] devotion to each other. Her youthful idealism is inspiring, but as most of us know, maturity teaches us that live isn't always black and white.
There are some unexpected events and an exciting finish makes this book a favorite story of family, love and life lessons.
I always appreciate a great book review from someone I trust. The premise of the book sounds interesting. I will add this to my reading list. Perhaps a relaxing vacation is in order to catch up on some reading.
I'll definitely put this on my reading list. It sounds quite wonderful and you and I tend to have the same taste in books. Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Karen, I am so excited to read Kristy's latest book! I sounds like a very poignant story. Kristy is so talented!
Hi Karen, So glad for Kristy and all her success! That is pretty nice of her to keep supplying us with Mother's Day gift ideas. 🙂 I'm knee deep in home improvement projects right now (especially spring cleaning after getting the floors refinished!), so taking a break with her great read sounds perfect.
Vicki, I know, it's nice to see someone we all enjoy (blog site) find such well-deserved success with her dream, writing.
Reading it right now….and loving it!
Sounds good, and since you are writing with much gusto again, I can't wait for your next book too!


We have a computer at home where we get highspeed internet from Clearwire.* A box to pick up the signal sits in our porch.* It is plugged into our electrical wiring.* The wiring acts to transmit the signal to our computer in another room.* We had to do it that way as it was the only place that would pick up the clearwire signal.
When I used my laptop at home, I used to pick up a neighbor's wireless signal and use that to get on the internet.* Much to cube-rat's dismay.
The nieghbor has moved (turns out the neighbor got foreclosed on; another story).* I want to be able to get on the internet at home using my wi fi.* I want security so no one else can pick up the signal, like I did.* We went to Best Buy and they said the Geek Squad can help us for a couple of hundred bucks.* I know we aren't sophisticated, but I think with instructions we should be able to do this ourselves.
So, what do I need to get a wireless signal to my laptop?
What do I need to make it secure from interlopers?
Not familiar with the system you have, but you'll need to get your signal into a wireless router. From there, (a) disable SSID broadcasting, (b) set the router to only accept the MAC address of your laptop, and (c) enable encryption.
Or google something like "how to make my network secure"
Was it 'cause of his high Internet service bills?
Yup, that's the best way I know to secure wireless, but (b) can be a pain if you often add other computers to your network (e.g., if you have friends who bring their laptops when they visit).
Thanks guys. We will buy the doohicky and if I have any trouble I know who to ask.
Love the trendnet gear...I'm using this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833156175 which is a step up from wabs suggestion. For the same price you get a "quality of service" engine that prioritizes your network traffic to give real time stuff like video, voice and whatnot a higher priority than your file downloads, so no stuttering/chattering. All automatic.
Nice wide range, you'll be able to pick up the signal from anywhere on your property.
Use one of the higher security methods like WPA2 and no worries about someone stealing your signal. You'll put a phrase or word into the router when you set it up using the wizard and it'll give you a key to type into your computers internet connection setup wizard. Once bonded, the two will retain a secure encrypted connection and nobody will be able to get in and use your connection without knowing the secret key.
Change the default name of the network.
This stuff is in the manuals - it might seem a bit overwhelming at first, but it is simple once you get used to a few terms.
Oh yeah, one other thing. If you get one of the trendnet routers, you might need to upgrade the firmware on it to fix a few oddball problems. This is a fairly typical process with many routers. Dont be daunted, its easy. Just download a file from the trendnet web site, run it, and let it do its thing before you set up the router.
By the way, did your neighbor get foreclosed on because he ran out of legal funds defending himself from the FBI swooping in to investigate his illegal internet activities...?
I ordered the thingy. I probably will be back for help when it comes.
I ordered the thingy.* I probably will be back for help when it comes.
Oh Sh#t, Martha. You were supposed to get a dohickey -- not a thingy. Installing a thingy where a dohickey should go may cause your computer to explode.
Geez and I was just about to congratulate her for buying the thingy instead of the doohickey.
While we're on the subject, my Westell 327W has WEP and WPA-PSK security as well as MAC address filtering. I chose the WEP 256 bit to secure my modem. Is that just about as secure as MAC filtering?
I chose the WEP 256 bit to secure my modem. Is that just about as secure as MAC filtering?
No, WEP has an exploitable weakness independent of key length. Any script kiddie can break it. Use WPA-PSK. MAC filtering will basically allow only a limited set of known computers to access your network, independent of encryption.
WEP just demands a login password from any wireless laptop.
PS I just got a LinksysWRT54GC Wireless Router written up in epinions.
Well...mac filtering isnt a bad idea but a moderately adept person can change their pc's mac address to match yours and in they go. Fine for keeping out the average joe, and certainly pretty easy to do.
WEP can be broken quite easily, key retrieved and access to your unit (or just passively decoding your data). Anything you do in 'secure' mode is also encrypted, and thats tougher to break, so no worries there.
WPA and WPA2 (WPA is a partial implementation of WPA2, more or less) are pretty strong and more than your neighbor is going to be able to penetrate. You might see "PSK", this is a public shared key which you enter into your router and each client before they can begin to participate...the non PSK versions usually require a dedicated authentication server on your network that provides the keys after authentication...so most home users will use PSK.
Some implementations of WPA2 are goofy and incompatible. I've had some real trouble getting two different vendors WPA2 implementations to work together, even after several driver/firmware upgrades.
I use WPA-PSK, dont bother with the mac filtering, and leave the SSID broadcasting on. Did change the routers name and the administration password. Unless you live in silicon valley or equivalent technically over-smart area, turning off the SSID broadcasting and enabling mac filtering will keep most people out...and those can be done on even very old pieces of gear that dont do anything better than older WEP implementations.
Oh yeah, and older windows variants sometimes dont support WPA or WPA2 at all, unless someone has thrown out some software I havent seen to support it.
The wireless router came in the mail. I managed to open the box and start reading the directions.
I already have a problem. I am supposed to "connect one RJ-45 network cable from the cable/dsl modem's Ethernet port to the WAN port on the AP/Router."
We get our internet from clearwire. The modem picks up a wireless signal from Clearwire. We had to locate our modem in a room far from the computer. The signal picked up by the modem is transported through what I guess is called a ethernet to our computer through our house's electric wiring. There is a cable plugged already into the ethernet port and then plugged into an outlet. On the computer end, there is a cable running from the computer to a plug in at the closest outlet.
So how can I plug my router into both the modem (which already has the ethernet port used) and the computer, which is 50 feet away?
Martha, do you have any geeky kids in your neighborhood who you could invite over?* *That'll be the most straight-forward approach.
I'm not familiar with your setup, but I could guess.
Start by unplugging the ethernet cable from that device plugged into your electrical wiring.* *Plug that into the wireless gizmo.* *In theory, that's all you need to do.* *In practice, there are a dozen other steps that depend on your particular setup.* *And we can't tell if your wireless gizmo has enough strength to reach all the rooms in your house from where you'll place it.
If you get desperate, PM me.


Sometimes, in the middle of the most touristy areas, you come across a gem. I stumbled upon one recently in the Belém area of Lisbon on a glorious Sunday afternoon. After visiting the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery, my friends and I were despairing at the prospect of eating in one of the nearby touristy restaurants.
The nicest of the bunch had many Portuguese families enjoying a leisurely Sunday lunch, and I couldn't believe our luck when a table for three suddenly freed up on the restaurant's outdoor terrace overlooking a park. I did not spend much time perusing the badly translated menu, but rather spent more time observing what my neighbors were eating.
This technique paid off when two of us ordered a Lisbon classic, seafood and rice stew. Served piping hot in a lovely casserole, it was simple and simply delicious. Rice, gilthead fish and shrimp were all cooked together in a sauce of tomato, garlic, red pimento and cilantro, with just a touch of saffron to bind the dish together. The consistency of the dish was perfect, as was the temperature, the cooking and the seasoning. The best proof was the silence around the table, as we practically gobbled the dish up. A perfect Sunday lunch in Lisbon.

The Research Spotlight Series is featuring the College of Engineering's Illini Solar Car Team. Come and hear the research team discuss challenges and opportunities as they create a solar car.
Research Spotlight Series explores the research process of scholars across disciplines by highlighting their scholarly works.
From the moment a scholar embarks on a research project to its eventual point of completion or further continuation, she or he would have interacted with information professionals and fellow scholars in the field, worked with library and archival collections and a multitude of electronic resources and technologies. Although much is written about the end-result of such a journey, understanding the research process itself remains an exciting area of scholarship. Each Research Spotlight will highlight a scholar's work and the author will discuss the work by addressing the following:
What factors and interests led to this research project?
What resources (people and materials) were critical to completing this manuscript?
What opportunities and challenges did the scholar encounter in the research process?
What suggestions does the scholar have for emerging scholars in this field of study?
For more information, please visit https://www.facebook.com/events/179401562943329/.

Amidst a pandemic, penalized Ontario hospital laying off nurses and shuttering acclaimed arthritis clinic
Posted by Pamela Fayerman | Nov 16, 2020 | Canada, COVID19, healthcare workers, hospitals, nurses, Toronto | 0
Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket, Ontario is facing a $32 million budget shortfall, excluding extra expenses related to the pandemic shortfall.
BY PAMELA FAYERMAN
The Southlake Regional Health Centre is a hospital complex that serves a population of more than a million people in Newmarket, a suburb of Toronto, 40 minutes to the north.
Ironically, it's in the constituency represented by Christine Elliott – Ontario's health minister – but no matter, Southlake has a budget deficit and has plans to axe dozens of nurses, even in the midst of the pandemic.
The public has recently been alerted to the fact that nearly 100 registered nurses will be laid off and replaced with 81 other health providers like less-educated practical nurses. This, despite the fact that it currently has hundreds of nursing vacancies and job postings for nurses.
The teaching and research hospital has about 400 patient beds and 600,000 out-patient visits each year. Like many hospitals across Canada, it has not done enough to protect health professionals and other hospital staff from violent patients. The hospital was recently fined $80,000 for an injurious attack on a nurse and security guard.
The CEO of the Southlake hospital, by the way, is Arden Krystal, a former B.C. health executive whom I last wrote about here.
Krystal is prevailing over an institution that has a current $23.5 million shortfall rising to $32 million in 2021/22, even without extra costs associated with COVID-19. Now she and other hospital leaders are about to close a unique arthritis centre which has been the envy of all in the arthritis community across Canada.
Welcome to the perplexing, inherently contradictory world of Canadian hospitals where ill-advised decisions are made because of inadequate budgets and government underfunding.
Thousands of outpatients who have relied upon The Arthritis Program (TAP) for three decades are only now learning about the program closure.
Cheryl Koehn, president, Arthritis Consumer Experts
"Thousands of patients will literally lose their rheumatology care on Jan. 15, in the middle of a pandemic," said an exacerbated Cheryl Koehn, the Vancouver-based founder and president of Arthritis Consumer Experts.
The TAP program is unique and celebrated, not just in Ontario, but across Canada, Koehn said. It opened in 1991 with government funding of about $600,000 a year and a plan to offer all-encompassing arthritis care under one roof. TAP includes not only dedicated medical staff but also occupational therapy, physical therapy, kinesiology, dieticians, and a dedicated pharmacist.
"We saw a way that we thought could get patients into a treatment program faster which would mean giving them the tools they needed to deal with their condition and improve their overall quality of life sooner," said Ieva Fraser, Program Coordinator
The TAP program reportedly saves the province $2.5 million per year by providing holistic care that averts hospitalizations and expensive medication use. Studies have shown that patients have better health outcomes, are seen quickly for disease flare-ups, get top-notch patient education and virtual care services. The program has an average of 9,000 patient visits to the clinic every year. That includes patients who return multiple times.
Ontario rheumatologist Dr. Carter Thorne
Dr. Carter Thorne is a rheumatologist who heads the TAP program. You can hear him talk about the program and "best in class" services and outcomes in this video. It will be used to build support by those trying to prevent the closure of the clinic.
Thorne said he's heard from hospital leaders that the program could stay in the hospital space it now has but it will still lose its annual program funding so that's a nonstarter.
Carrie Barnes is also in the video. She is a young, articulate Ontario patient ambassador for the program; she lives with rheumatoid arthritis.
Barnes calls TAP a "dreamy, supportive program that gave me my life back." When TAP closes, patients like her all across Ontario will have to find disjointed care wherever they can.
Barnes said the closure will not only have serious impacts on patients but she predicts hospital costs will go up as patients will have to rely on emergency departments more.

Advocates have started a social media campaign using the hashtag #SaveTAPNow.

The news that @Canucks Captain @BoHorvat has tested positive for COVID means this is his 2nd bout with the virus as he was 1/25 on the hockey team to get it last year. Can we presume he's asymptomatic? #NHL https://twitter.com/BoHorvat/status/1474824671618953224

Pay close attention to this data suggesting five days of isolation may NOT be sufficient to prevent spread of #Omicron. https://twitter.com/bmj_latest/status/1482412374418206726

Patients with the omicron variant of covid-19 shed virus for longer after symptoms emerge, show data from Japan, potentially jeopardising hopes that the period of isolation for people testing positive could be shortened https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o89

Stories from 20 Years: A Land Trust Primer
A "trust" is a legal entity that takes ownership of, or authority over, a piece of property from its previous owner for the benefit of a third party. Thames Talbot Land Trust (TTLT) is a local land trust, one of 33 in Ontario that protect more than 85,000 acres (34,398 ha) of significant land for public benefit. Sometimes called land conservancies, nature conservancies or conservation land trusts, organizations such as TTLT are private (non-government), not-for-profit charitable organizations. They act primarily through volunteers to conserve lands of significant natural or cultural value "in perpetuity" – that is, for ever.
Private status is an important difference from other land protection agencies such as conservation authorities, and municipal, provincial and federal parks. Government agencies often have enforcement powers that some landowners find threatening, and government budget cuts have undermined some donors' confidence in their long-term commitment. As private entities with no government authority or power, land trusts attract a wide range of donors and volunteers.
Land trusts work mainly through securing land by purchase or donation or by acquiring an easement through the same means. An easement is an interest in the land that prohibits certain activities such as new structures, development, tree cutting and drainage projects. After securement, land trusts care for the land in ways that protect its natural values through, for example, invasive species removal. Land trusts help protect other land by sharing information and stewardship techniques.
TTLT's area of interest includes London as well as the counties of Elgin, Middlesex, Oxford and Perth. Some land trust-like organizations, such as Ontario Nature, operate with provincial scope while the Nature Conservancy of Canada operates Canada wide. There are also regional associations, such as the Ontario Land Trust Alliance (OLTA), that support local land trusts.
Land trusts existed in the US as early as 1891, but their number and popularity flowered in the 1980s. At that time, the concept of a private locally controlled conservancy was a welcome alternative to big government. In Canada, Ontario's Natural Heritage League sponsored a study of land trusts by Ron Reid with support from John White and Brian Howard at the Ontario Heritage Foundation (OHF). Their recommendations led to legislative changes that encouraged local land trusts. In 1993, Dr. Stewart Hilts and Ron Reid prepared the seminal Creative Conservation, a handbook for local land trust organization and operation.
Government cutbacks in the 1990s made it very clear that communities needed to get involved if they wanted local land protected. Land trusts were the ideal vehicle. In Ontario, the government facilitated this protection method with two important changes: easements and tax exemptions. In 1994, the ability to hold an easement to protect certain features was extended beyond the OHF to all qualified land trusts. This measure greatly reduced costs and gave the landowner a tax incentive to agree to protection. In 1998 – in a rare show of non-partisan agreement – Liberal Finance Minister Greg Sorbara and former Conservative Premier William Davis put forward new tax measures that relieved land trusts of municipal taxes for qualifying properties. The Government of Canada introduced the "Eco-Gift" program with substantial tax benefits for donors of lands with significant natural value. Together, these developments have – over the last decade – fuelled a rapid expansion of the lands protected by trusts with the promise of even more in the future.
