Subject: Reflections: Dunkard Creek Art Exhibit Final Display, at Wheeling Jesuit University
September 2013 marks the end of the two year tour of “Reflections: Homage to Dunkard Creek.” Since September 2011, thousands of people have filed through galleries and read about Reflections in newspapers and magazines. Because of the efforts of each one of us, Dunkard Creek has not been forgotten.
Now the show is preparing for its final opening on September 6, 2013 at Kirby Art Gallery, Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, West Virginia. I hope many of you can arrange to attend. The exhibit will be open to the public from noon until 5:00pm Monday-Friday until the closing reception on October 10. For more specific show information, please phone Georgia Tambasis at 304-243-2096 or email her at gtambasis@wju.edu.
The sponsorship of the show has followed Director Brent Bailey in his professional transition from the Mountain Institute to the West Virginia Land Trust. Work will be returned to the artists or buyers shortly after the close of the show.
It has been such an honor and a pleasure to have worked with you in creating a powerful witness to a colossal wrong. The public reception of these works has been most impressive and pleasing.
Thank you, Ann Payne, Morgantown, WV (Paynestake@frontier.com)

New Report Details How Climate Change is Harming Freshwater Fish
By Miles Grant, National Wildlife Federation, September 4, 2013
America’s coldwater FISH HABITAT could DECLINE by 50 percent within the lifetime of a child born today because of climate change, according to a new report released today by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). Swimming Upstream: Freshwater Fish in a Warming World details how climate change is warming lakes, rivers and streams and making existing stresses worse, creating an uncertain future for America’s freshwater fishing traditions and the jobs that depend on them.
I’m glad I was able to see the Dunkard Creek art exhibit in Morgantown when it was there. I hope many more people will see it and learn what can happen to our streams and rivers when corporations get away with dumping toxic wastes into them.
I wish Tom Bond’s article had someone to proofread it before going to print. Unfortunately he refers to Stephanie as Timmerman – and then Timmermeyer – in same paragraph….
At home, still under the throes of apples & peaches. Tooo many, way toooo many tomatillos and cutting the stilt grass while it’s in flower before it goes to seed. Spend the next 2 nights at Tunnel Mtn, but home working outside during the day.
