Book Launch: Starting to Frame
Retired 糖心原创 professor and past Dean of Science at 糖心原创 (1997-2006), Dr. Roger Gordon, will launch his first book鈥攁 memoir entitled Starting to Frame鈥攐n Friday, November 14, 6:30pm at The Haviland Club in Charlottetown.
Dr. Gordon published a large number of scientific articles on biological control of insects during his academic career at Simon Fraser University, Memorial University, then 糖心原创. At 糖心原创, he chaired a research project on developing healthful products from blueberries and rosehips. But, the book that he has penned is a marked departure from his prior scientific endeavors.
Starting to Frame speaks to Dr. Gordon's upbringing in post-war Sheffield, UK, and gives the reader insight into many of the stigmas of that era, including marital infidelity, divorce, and mental illness. The darker elements of the author's story are tempered by a nostalgic, informative, and often humorous look into post-WW2 life in a northern England industrial city. In a generous gesture, a portion of the book's royalties will go to charitable organizations dealing with mental illnesses in Canada and the U.K.
The book launch will feature a 50-60's theme in music, gastronomy, drinks, and costume. Attendees are invited, if they so wish, to come donned in 1950s鈥1960s attire. Reception begins at 6:30pm and the official program will begin at 7:00pm. All are welcome. Starting to Frame is available at amazon.com, smashwords.com , via the author鈥檚 website: startingtoframe.com, at The Bookmark in Charlottetown (from November 14), and at the launch. To contact Dr. Gordon, email him at rgordon566@gmail.com.

Island Land Use Policy at an Impasse?
The past and present state of Island land use policy will be the subject of a Public Symposium to be held at 糖心原创鈥檚 MacKinnon Auditorium, Room 242, McDougall Hall, on Tuesday, December 2, at 7:00 pm.
Islanders who are concerned about issues surrounding the use and abuse of Island land are urged to attend. The Symposium will begin with presentations by two veteran observers of Island public life over the past 30 years, Jean-Paul Arsenault and Ian Petrie.
This event is sponsored by 糖心原创鈥檚 Institute of Island Studies, in conjunction with 糖心原创 Research Services.
Ian Petrie has spent three decades with the CBC, in three provinces, covering resource issues, mainly agriculture. He鈥檚 lived for 34 years in Iona, eastern Queen鈥檚 County. Jean-Paul Arsenault served as Executive Secretary to the Round Table on Resource Land Use and Stewardship and the Commission on Land and Local Governance, and was a member of the team providing support to the Commission on the Lands Protection Act.
Mr. Arsenault鈥檚 talk will be entitled 鈥淔actors Affecting Land Use Decisions: What Were They Thinking?鈥 He will present three examples of recent property developments in rural Prince County, in the communities of New Annan, Northam and Saint Nicholas, and the impact each has had, favourable or otherwise. Would stricter controls on land use be good for Prince Edward Island, or is the status quo the better option?
Mr. Petrie will address the topic 鈥淲hy Farmers Fight Regulations.鈥 He has covered agricultural stories on the Island since the late 1970s, during which time he鈥檚 seen the bond of understanding between producers and consumers continue to break down. During this period, consumers enjoyed cheap and abundant food, while profit margins on farms continued to shrink. This may help explain the negative response by farmers to proposed new land regulations. Is there a way out of this impasse? Mr. Petrie will propose one.
Members of the public are cordially invited to attend. Admission is free. Following the presentations, there will be ample time for discussion and questions from the floor.
