Tree Bylaw FAQ's
When is a tree permit required to remove a tree?
A tree permit is required for the removal of the following trees:
- Trees that are 15 cm, or greater, in diameter at breast height (DBH), with DBH being defined as a point 1.37 metres above the ground;
- Trees that are located on Municipal Property, including road rights-of-way, and parks;
- Trees that are located in areas designated as Environmental Protection Areas (EPA) or Open Space in a municipal official plan;
- Trees that have been identified for protection in a Tree Preservation and Protection Plan;
- Trees that are subject to commercial harvesting on lands greater than one (1) hectare in area;
- Trees that are listed as endangered, threatened, or at risk tree species in the provincial Endangered Species Act;
- Trees that are listed as endangered or threatened tree species, or a tree species of special concern, in the federal Species at Risk Act; and,
Trees that are considered distinctive trees, as defined in Section 1 of the Bylaw, including the following species :
- Black Maple
- Black Walnut
- Blue Ash
- Douglas-Fir
- Ginkgo
- Kentucky Coffeetree
- London Planetree
- Ohio Buckeye
- Pitch Pine
- Sycamore
- Tulip-tree
Also, the following sub-sections describe who and what the Tree Bylaw applies to, and when a Tree Permit is required in order to remove a tree.
New Development - Planning Approvals Required
New development that requires Planning Approvals (e.g. Plan of Subdivision, Plan of Condominium, Site Plan Control, or Severance) is required to address the issue of tree removal and replacement as part of their Planning Application(s). If tree removal is to occur before Planning Approvals have been received, a separate Tree Permit is required.
Commercial Harvesting
A Tree Permit is required for the harvesting of trees on property that is greater than one hectare in area, unless a Forest Management Plan has been prepared by a Registered Professional Forester and submitted to and accepted by the Director of Planning & Development.
Are there any exemptions to the tree permit process?
The following sub-sections describe who and what is exempt from the Tree Bylaw, and when a Tree Permit is not required in order to remove a tree.
- Pruning and Other Tree Maintenance
A Tree Permit is not required in order to prune a tree, as long as the pruning is done in a manner that does not harm the tree. Individuals that are uncertain as to how to properly prune a tree without harming it should contact a Certified Arborist (certified by the International Society of Arboriculture - ISA) by referring to the yellow pages of the telephone book under "Tree Service". The ISA also offers information about pruning on their website at www.treesaregood.com
Also, a Tree Permit is not required in order to remove trees that are dead, severely damaged or diseased, or that pose a danger to people or buildings. However, a letter of proof from a Certified Arborist must be submitted to the Director of Planning & Development for approval before a tree can be removed for health or hazard reasons.
- Residential Properties
The Tree Bylaw does not apply to residential properties, and a Tree Permit is not required in order to remove a tree. However, please ensure that the subject tree is located entirely on private property. Trees located within road rights-of-way are Municipal Trees; all maintenance and/or removal of such trees are the responsibility of the City of Kingston. The removal of a Municipal Tree is a chargeable offense under the Tree Bylaw.
Trees that cross property lines, and the pruning of branches that overhang onto neighbouring properties, are civil issues between neighbours and are not addressed by the Tree Bylaw.
- New Development - Planning Approvals NOT Required
New construction of buildings that do not require Planning Approvals also do not require a Tree Permit, as long as a Building Permit has been obtained, and as long as the trees that are removed are no more than 15 metres from the location of the proposed building.
A Tree Permit is also not required for the installation of a driveway, or public or private utilities.
- Other Exemptions
The following are other exemptions to the Tree Bylaw where a Tree Permit is not required:
- Trees cut for personal use (does not include wood that is sold or given away);
- Trees removed in order to clear land as part of a Normal Farm Practice, as long as it is outside Environmental Protection Areas, and outside of the area identified on Schedule 'D' of the Bylaw (Schedule 'D' shows the urban area of the City, as well as those lands adjacent to the urban area);
- The operation of existing cemeteries and golf courses;
- Works undertaken by utility providers, surveyors, or any level of government; and,
- Trees removed for the operation of a pit or quarry.
Any person wishing to remove a tree should check with the appropriate municipal staff to determine whether a Tree Permit is required. Contact the Planning and Development Department at 613-546-4291, ext. 3180.
How do I apply for a tree permit?
If a Tree Permit is required, an applicant should do the following:
- Complete the Tree Permit Application on DASH
- Submit Tree Permit fee
- Submit an Arborist's Report (if required; see Question 4 below)
What is an Arborist's Report and why do I need one?
Depending upon the situation, an Arborist Report may be required in support of a Tree Permit Application. The Arborist's Report is expected to address the reasons for the proposed removal of the tree(s) and the preservation measures to be taken for any trees to be retained.
If an Arborist Report is required, the Applicant will need to have the report prepared by a Qualified Forestry Consultant, which includes:
- A Certified Arborist (certified by the International Society of Arboriculture);
- A Certified Tree Marker (full certification and good standing with the Ministry of Natural Resources); or,
- A Registered Professional Forester (full member of the Ontario Professional Foresters Association).
Do I have to plant replacement trees?
Replacement trees may be required as a condition to a Tree Permit. Although it is recognized that trees will have to be removed for both natural causes (i.e. disease) and to allow for development or redevelopment, the long term goal is to at least maintain, if not increase, the amount of tree coverage in the City.
Sections 9 and 10 of the Tree Bylaw deal with the issues of compensation and replacement trees. In most instances, tree replacement can be considered as a condition of a Tree Permit, where, for uncomplicated proposals, the replacement of trees can be realized on a ratio of one replacement tree for every tree removed. However, the City does encourage replacement ratios greater than one to one, in order to increase tree coverage and its related benefits.
In the event that the tree to be removed is located on Municipal Property, or is removed without a Tree Permit, the value of the tree, and the number of replacement trees required, will be calculated using the Trunk Formula Method of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), as illustrated in Schedule 'C' to the Tree Bylaw. The ISA formula takes into consideration a variety of factors to determine the value of a tree, including size, age, species, health, and location. The value of some trees can be considerable, and will therefore usually result in a ratio for replacement trees greater than one to one.
Any monies received in lieu of replacement trees shall be used for the purpose of reforestation.
Can I appeal a decision regarding a tree permit?
A person that has applied for a Tree Permit may appeal to the Council of the City of Kingston under the following situations:
- If the City refuses to issue a Tree Permit, within 30 days after the refusal; or,
- If the Applicant objects to a condition of the Tree Permit, in which case the appeal must be made within the 30 days following the issuance of the Tree Permit.
What are the penalties for contravening the Tree Bylaw?
If someone is convicted of an offence for contravening the Tree Bylaw, the conditions of a Tree Permit, or an Order, the Court may order any or all of the following penalties:
- Prohibit them from continuing or repeating the offence;
- Require that they rehabilitate the land, including the planting or replanting of trees;
- Require that they provide compensation to the City (in accordance with Section 10 of the Tree Bylaw); and/or,
Require that they pay a fine equal to:
- For a person: $10,000 or $1,000 per tree (whichever is greater) on a first offence, and $25,000 or $2,500 per tree (whichever is greater) on any subsequent offence; and,
- For a corporation: $50,000 or $5,000 per tree (whichever is greater) on a first offence, and $100,000 or $10,000 per tree (whichever is greater) on any subsequent offence.
Who do I contact if I have other questions?

A new mum, who was told her newborn daughter could face a life-threatening illness due to a bacteria found in a quarter of all women, is calling for tests during pregnancy.
Katie Farrant gave birth to her daughter Isla Farrant at The Conquest in Hastings on January 7.
When little Isla was just six day old, Katie experienced some abnormal bleeding and had tests done which showed she had Group B Strep.
It is usually a harmless bacteria but can be dangerous to the baby in labour.
The mum-of-two, who conceived Isla through IVF, found out more about the condition and realised it could put her young daughter's life in danger.
She said: "It is fatal. It is basically a bit like meningitis."
Isla is now six weeks old and Katie added: "The symptoms can show anywhere from birth to three months old.
"Isla is ok and doing well but I am still keeping a close eye on her for any symptoms."
After doing more research and finding a charity, called Group B Strep Support, which specialises in campaigning for screening in pregnant women, Katie found out the screening and treatment are simple tests.
"The test is simple and if you were found to carry Group B Strep you could have antibiotics via a drip during labour to make sure it doesn't cause any problems for your baby," she said.
Katie says the test is cheap, at £11, and she doesn't understand why it is not offered under the NHS in this country.
"You can have the test done privately and it costs about £35 which is really a small price to pay for that peace of mind.
"When you think about all the items you buy for your newborn baby, £35 doesn't seem like a lot and it is worth it to make sure they are healthy.
"If I had that test I would have saved myself so much worry.
"When you are a new mum, you worry about newborns enough anyway and your hormones are all over the place, so having this extra worry has been really difficult. It makes you paranoid.
"I have some friends that are pregnant at the moment and while I don't want to worry people unnecessarily, it is something that is best to know about."
Information from the Strep B Support charity states, "Carrying GBS is perfectly normal and natural.
"Carrying GBS is not associated with any health risks or symptoms to the carrier.
"It's good to know whether you carry GBS during pregnancy – if it has been detected during your current pregnancy, you should be offered intravenous antibiotics in labour.
"These massively reduce the risk of your newborn baby developing a group B Strep infection.
"There are no symptoms of carrying GBS, so the only way to find out whether you are is through testing.
"Intravenous antibiotics, given in labour to women who carry GBS late in pregnancy, have been shown to be highly effective at reducing the risk that a newborn baby will develop early-onset GBS infection (GBS infection developing in the first six days of life).
"They do not reduce late-onset GBS infection (developing from age seven days and typically by age three months)."
Katie plans to circulate leaflets to raise awareness.

5 Best Peer Pressure Solutions for Your Teen
When it comes to teens and peer pressure, education science has lots of recommendations on how to tackle the problem. And rightly so. It's a common thing when a teen gets forced to do something that they actually don't want to do. More often than not, this applies to bad habits. According to the statistics, 71% of students have tried alcohol in high school while 34% used drugs. No wonder parents are so concerned about the issue. The following methods will help your teen manage peer pressure wisely.
Peer Pressure Solutions to Keep in Mind
Bolster your child's self-esteem
Unassertive teens usually get oppressed by their peers. They become an easy target since they are too afraid to speak up. Why does it happen? The key reason here is the lack of self-confidence. The problem is serious, and often it's rooted in early childhood.
To build your teen's self-esteem, you need to show them that their opinion matters. From their young age, empower your child whenever it's possible. Encourage them to share their thoughts and ideas. Allow them to make their own decisions and support them along the way. Express your approval and speak kind words of praise. All of this is crucial for the child's healthy emotional development and boosting their self-esteem.
Suggest options in saying "no"
Sometimes teenagers feel embarrassed to say "no." Let's picture the following scenario. A group of teens are heavy smokers and want your teen to join them. So what's to be done? Saying just "no" wouldn't be enough in this case. It is the same thing as to say "I'm a kiddy afraid of being punished," or "I'm just not that cool."
Your teen may become an object of derision afterward. But there's a solution. Use your creativity to handle this situation. Say, your child may refuse to try smoking because of poor health. They can also say they don't like the smell of cigarettes. There's no harm in such a small lie. But it's an inventive way to push back on peer pressure.
Enlarge a friendship network
It's a good idea to have friends from various sources. This can be a sports club, studies, or family activities. When being surrounded by different peers, your teen won't have much time to hang out with the "wrong" friends. Thus, their bad influence will be minimized.
Having a wide circle of social contacts would be beneficial especially for reserved kids. They will be able to improve their communicative skills and get rid of excessive shyness. New friendships will bring understanding and support, which is crucial for forming a self-confident and outgoing personality.
Build trustful relationships with your child
Teenagers tend to distance themselves from their parents – and this is natural. Now they have lots of new interests and hobbies and prefer to spend time with like-minded people of their age. But when dealing with peer pressure, they can feel extremely lonely and insecure. That's why building a trusting relationship with your child is of great importance.
If your daughter currently suffers from slut shaming, for instance, she shouldn't be afraid to tell you about it. If you've noticed that she is upset or disturbed about something, do not ignore it. Suggest her to talk and share her worries. Make sure you've got a calm voice and friendly attitude. Be as much empathetic and compassionate as you can.
Have a backup plan
This is life, and things can go wrong. That's why having a backup plan is always a great idea. Help your teen to make one. For example, come up with a coded message. If your son finds himself in a risky situation, he will send you a message both of you have agreed on.
In this way, you will always know that he is seeking your help at the moment. By the way, texting is actually better than calling since the teen may feel uncomfortable when needing to dial the parents. Peers can begin to mock them, making things even worse.
The detrimental effects of peer pressure on teenagers can be hardly exaggerated. If you are worried that your kid has got a wrong friendship and is being pushed to do something against their will, don't waste your time. Try to talk to them and discuss the situation. Don't make judgments about their actions. Instead, suggest the possible solutions to fight peer pressure.

I was so busy going to various staged events in February; I never got around to writing about them. So here's a brief recap. Those with dancing involved are also covered in my March/April article in Art Times Journal and on line at arttimesjournal.com.
Broke my own rule about revivals and went to see "The Road to Mecca." It reinforces why I don't "do" revivals generally. While I am not opposed to talky plays, the talk has to dazzle or the players have to triumph. Neither was the case in this revival there just never was a moment when the play soared off the stage.
Saw "Russian Transport" which was played more for comedy than for the underlying horror of the family business. It was lively and many of the family scenes seemed very realistic. It is a disturbing play and a good attempt at real old fashioned drama.
I enjoyed Parsons Dance presentation at the Joyce. "Round my World" had some visually stunning moments. I found the music in several of the numbers so unpleasant I prayed for earplugs and just held my hands over my ears instead. A much younger musician friend who was with me had the same reaction. "Caught" should have come with a warning for those who cannot take strobe lighting, because it is a dance of light and posing and the timing must be perfect, as it was in this performance. All the dances used the stage well, and the final "Swing Shift" was a rousing one. Dancers were fluid, graceful and athletic. David Parson choreographed 4 of the 5 numbers, and Katarzyna Skarpetowska the world premiere of "A Stray's Lullaby" which was commissioned by the Joyce Theater Foundation with the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It was a perfect fit with the rest of the program.
Was at the world premiere of a new NYC dance company, Kymera Dance at the far from small Little Flower Theater at LaGuardia High School. Company foundet William Isaac choreographed two of the dances, one of which he had done in 2011 and which used LaGuardia High School Alumni Dancers to recreate it, the other was an energetic and exciting new work. Abdur-Rahim Jackson choreographed one and Karole Armitage presented excerpts form "Three Theories" which premiered in 2010.
I also saw "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" which soared on the opening nimber due to the exquisite voice of Nikki Renée Daniels. All the voices throughout were splendid, although some of the characterizations were less stunning than I had anticipated after all the great reviews. The dancing frankly left me disappointed. Still, it is a thrill to have the opportunity to see this done on a Broadway stage. Audra McDonald certainly did not disappoint.
Must mention the loss of Howard Kissel. He was top drama critic at the Daily News when I was a press agent and I found him always a gentleman and an astute critic. He shall be missed.
I have one personal memory of Howard which embarrassed him and amused me.
I was awaiting a cross town bus at 9th Ave and 34th when Howard rushed over to the bus stop. Delighted to see him after about 4 years, I greeted him and he stooped over and pecked my cheek. Then he pulled away and apologized, saying he thought I was someone else. He was blushing. Laughing I said "I'm Francine"
and before I could finish he said, Yes, Francine Trevens, I know." I wonder for whom he mistook me?
I made a similar mistake some ten years earlier when I was rushing to a meeting on the east side and saw an actor I recognized, although his name eluded me. Having interviewed hundreds of actors in my theater reviewing days, I greeted him with a hug and said how surprised I was to see him in New York. "What are you doing here?"
I asked, struggling to recall his name. He said was filming a movie. I wished him luck with it, said how great it was to see him and hurried on. Two blocks later it dawned on me I had never interviewed him or spoken to him before in my life – it was Michael Caine. I wonder if he wondered who the h… I was?
In addition to my regular reading of books I can cuddle with before going to sleep, or read while dining, I have read three books for the Global Ebooks awards, being a judge again this year.
Of the three the first purported to be a mystery novel and I found it to be neither a novel or much of a mystery. The second blew me away – an historical novel that had me on the edge of my seat as I strained my eyes to read it on my computer. "Dr. Margaret's Sea Chest" was thrilling – with its history of the underground railroad and the Indian wars with the charge of the light brigade all made up close and personal. I look forward to the sequel
Another good read was Ice on the Grapes by R.E. Donald. Took me a while to get into it but it kept moving and got more interesting as it went along. Well plotted mystery.
Smashwords, where I publish my ebooks for kids is having a special promotion so I have offered all four read to me illustrated fantasy books for half price now through March 10 – so if you have been wanting to read these gems Pixie Tales, "Elfin Tales," "Fairy Tales Too," and "Gremlins, Genies and Trolls, Oh My!"or get them for kids in your family get them now! You can download them to any e reader, or read as a PDF or an epub right on your computer.
The code for half price on any of the books is REW50. –
In paper format, have been reading several books. One mystery that delighted me was "Death at Devil's Bridge" by Robin Paige (pen name of a husband and wife writing team). The mystery is set in the turbulent time when balloon travel was an uncontrollable new form of flight, and automobiles were considerate great dangers when they sped about at 12 miles an hour. Charming book.
"The Affairs of Forgotten Youth" is the first Alexander McCall Smith book which I have read which disappointed me. He is a favorite contemporary writer of mine and this book just didn't grab me as have all his others.
Now, back to the pages of a full length play that I have been rewriting for the last two weeks. Hope to get it in shape this week and sent out to theaters ASAP. These things don't do any of us any good sitting in drawers or on computers, do they?
As my 80th birthday creeps up, I know I must get a move on with all the projects I wish to get written before my final curtain!

AGP for clinical trials:
Currently the IDC uses our CaptūrAGP® system as well as a SAS® program for producing research AGPs. The research AGP includes a second row of statistics: Glucose Variability, Exposure and Episodes close ups.
Our systems are able to produce SMBG, CGM and Insulin Pump + CGM reports. We can produce batched reports for different time periods, demographic sub populations and intervention arms. IDC provides AGP interpretation as well as research analytic reporting. If you want us to produce AGPs for your next research trial; we would be glad to help.
Research Intake Form
Research CGM AGP Report (Continuous Glucose Monitor)
Extended Statistics - Normally used in research, several of these will be blank if the data is from SMBG
Episodes close up: Episodes start when readings are within one of these ranges for at least 15 minutes; episodes end when there is a reading that is in target (70 -180). Fewer episodes are best for all these measures.
"It is an efficient tool in standardizing CGM and SMBG data" -Clinician
"AGP is clean- across platforms!!" -Clinician

About 75 percent of intending pilgrims from Nigeria lack knowledge of Hajj rites, the Mufti (Grand Sheikh) of Conference of Islamic Organisations (CID), Sheikh Dhikrullahi Shafi'i, has said.
This, Shafi'i said, at a seminar organised by Hajj Mabrur Ventures Limited (HMVL), usually creates problems for operators and Saudi Arabia authority in the Holy Land.
Hajj, he said, is one of the key pillars of Islam, adding that pilgrims should equip themselves with the 'dos and don'ts' of the exercise.
According to him, government and private operators must organise extensive trainings for intending pilgrims.
The scholar warned that pilgrims risk losing the reward of embarking on hajj if its tenets are not adhered to.
"What is the essence of spending lots of money, engage in strenuous hajj exercise and all other risks involved and come home empty handed. We should religiously perform the rites of hajj as expected to earn the desired rewards," he said.
Shafi'i enjoined pilgrims to be mentally and physically alert for the exercise and always renew their intentions.
"Prophet Muhammad said 'actions shall be judged according to intention.' Remember, we are going to Saudi Arabia for worship, let's change our intentions from going after mundane things; tourism and shopping can always come after completing the spiritual rites," he said.
HMVL General Manager Alhaji Abdulhameed Solate said the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is hampering smooth preparations of the exercise.

After responding to an advertisement placed in local papers by the Park Commission seeking to buy a large plot of land for a public open space, Lloyd Nicholas Rogers (1787- 1860) sold the Druid Hill estate for $121,000 in cash and $363,027 in city stock. Though the cantankerous Rogers tried to back out of the deal late, claiming the city lacked the authority to issue bonds outside the official city limits for the purchase, Mayor Swann, in one of his many questionable abuses of power, got the deal pushed through.
Perhaps Mayor Swann saw the writing on the wall concerning the city's water supply issues, when during the Druid Hill Park inauguration ceremonies he stated that:
"…In addition to numerous springs heading in all the principal ravines, and furnishing a liberal supply of water for ordinary wants, the close proximity to the Jones' Falls, and the great receiving reservoir of the city, gives assurance that the most extensive arrangements may be safely made for the lakes and fountains at a comparatively trifling expenditure. A resort to artificial supply is always to be preferred in a park, where the volume of water cannot be relied upon from natural flow….[Then upping his flowery poetic waxings, continued]…the soft and trembling shadows of the surrounding trees and hills as they fall upon a placid sheet of water, and the brilliant light which the crystal surface reflects in pure sunshine, mirroring too, at times, in its resplendent bosom, all the cerulean depth and sunny whiteness of the overhanging sky, give it almost a magical effect in a beautiful landscape."
In 1864 the city began to utilize the natural geography of Druid Park as they made their "cerulean" vision a reality. A deep ravine formed by a stream that traveled southeast from the boat lake toward the Jones Falls was selected as the site for the new reservoir. Civil engineer Robert Martin developed plans and constructed a giant wall of mud that became the largest earthen dam in America (at that time). Steam excavators were used for the first time in the city to move 500,000 cubic yards of earth. The dam itself consisted of a water tight clay core, or puddle wall, surrounded by steep banks of soil, and was supported by a stone wall laid in cement running the entire length of the dam. Earthen banks were laid in thin layers and pressed by horse drawn rollers. When completed in 1871, the dam supported a reservoir that covered 55 acres, reached a depth of 94 feet (averaging 30 feet), and sat at an elevation 217 feet above mid-tide. Towering over the surrounding park at a height of 119 feet, the dam was 750 feet long, with a width of 600 feet at the base tapering up to 60 feet at the top.In 1864 work started on the reservoir, and by 1865, seven 30-inch pipes were taking water in and out of the reservoir: three from Hampden, three to Mt. Royal, and a drain pipe. Things didn't necessarily go smoothly…
The year work on the dam began in Baltimore, the whole world read about the horror of the Dale Dyke reservoir in Sheffield England, where flooding from the spring thaw caused the dam to fail. Eight hundred and fifty-five million gallons of water rushed through the valley at 18 mph, killing 244 people. The public saw eerie similarities between the earthen dam in England and the new dam in Druid Park. Though Dale Dyke was at a higher elevation, the new reservoir in Baltimore was in much closer proximity to the population center and held a greater amount of water. In addition, when water was drawn off from the reservoir in 1866, it was confirmed that the seven pipes traveling through the base of the earthen dam had buckled and collapsed under its weight. The broken pipes at the bottom of the dam posed the risk of significant leakage that would compromise the integrity of the earthen structure. It appeared that a complete overhaul of the dam was necessary.A board of experts consisting of engineers Isaac Ridgeway Trimble (1802-1888), Charles Pratt Manning (1817-1886), and John H. Tegmyer (1822-1901) were appointed by the city to see if the new dam in Baltimore posed a similar risk to the catastrophe in England. The board concluded that they saw the "impossibility of failure from anything like similar causes" because the puddle wall had been constructed properly and the banks had been sufficiently compacted. Most importantly, the board proposed to replace the seven broken pipes with five new mains enveloped in stone arches that would not penetrate the puddle wall, exiting through the south side of the dam. Over 140 years later the dam has continued to hold strong, and in 1971 it was named a National Historic Civil Engineering landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Ultimately $1,000,000 was spent to repair the cracked pipes, and the reservoir was reduced to holding only 429 million gallons of water (as opposed to the initial goal of one billion). By 1871 Druid Lake was complete.** Over the next four years a west high service reservoir was added at a height of 320 feet above mean tide to service areas at higher elevations in the northwest part of town. By 1872, faced with more serious droughts, the city once again realized its supply of water was not sufficient, and finally turned its eyes towards the Gunpowder. Ironically, the $700,000 difference between the projected cost and the cost after the repairs was almost identical to that saved by selecting the waterworks on Jones Falls over the much higher volume project on the Gunpowder River.

* The "park tax," as it was known, would dwindle to 12 percent in 1874, 9 percent in 1882, 3 percent in 1932, then disappear completely.
**The resulting body of water had been known during the first half of its construction as Lake Chapman, after Unionist Mayor and head of the Water Board at the time, John Lee Chapman (1811-1880). Since much of Chapman's tenure as mayor was characterized by the bitter partisan feuding of the Civil War period, it came as little surprise when his Democratic successor, Robert T. Banks (1822-1901), and the City Council voted unanimously to change the name to Druid Lake just four months after he left office in early 1868.

Since last month's Hampden Reservoir post, I have taken more delight in my commute as I pass by Roosevelt Park, going to and returning from work via the Falls Road exit of the JFX; I can almost see the half moon shape of the reservoir on my left as I climb the hill approaching 36th Street. The commute home every day also served as a reminder that I needed to finish the story of the waterworks. The Hampden Reservoir was actually one of of a chain of three bodies of water, beginning with Lake Roland, and ending at the Mount Royal reservoir, where fresh water entered the city. As I began this installment of the waterworks series, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this second forgotten reservoir in the system is also an integral part of my daily routine. My commute literally bisects its old location.
After an ordinance was passed by the City Council in 1857 to provide additional water to Baltimore City, there were two options for sources: (1) to increase the amount of water taken from the Jones Falls by damming further upstream, or (2) to introduce water from the Gunpowder Falls. The engineering costs of bringing water from the Gunpowder were estimated to cost over $2.1 million, compared to around $1.3 million for construction of new works on the Jones Falls.* The Gunpowder was estimated to produce 65 million gallons of water during the dry season, while the latter was believed to provide around 20 million gallons per day. The Council chose the cheaper option.
Construction of the new waterworks from the Jones Falls began in 1858, eight miles north of the city, at a narrow point near the North Central Railroad Station. What was formerly called Swann Lake was dammed up to become what we now know as Lake Roland. A massive conduit was concurrently built connecting it to the Hampden Reservoir. Shortly thereafter a conduit was also excavated going south to the Mount Royal Reservoir just north of the city boundary. The waterworks were completed and fully operational by 1862.
The site of the Mount Royal Reservoir lay just west of the Northern Central Railroad tracks on the former site of the Mount Royal Mill property (previously the tract had been owned by Charles Carroll of Carrollton who sold it to Solomon Birckhead in 1801). The most notable feature of the reservoir was a large central fountain (see image below), similar to the one in present day Druid Lake, ornamenting the center of the reservoir with a stream of water bubbling high into the air. By 1863 just over half of the city's 38,881 buildings received water that was delivered from the Mount Royal Reservoir.
Even before the waterworks was fully operational it was discovered that this new source was once again insufficient for the growing population of the city. On top of the population boom during these decades, the Civil War resulted in a large number of Federal troops being stationed in, passing through, or being cared for in Baltimore hospitals. In addition to increasing the demand, sick soldiers carried typhoid, dysentery, and other diseases which were spread as a result of poor sanitation and sewage from cesspools leaching into city springs and neighborhood wells. During hot and dry periods of the summer the system would run short of supply. The Water Department's response to the shortage was to cut down on demand by raising the price of water. The increase in cost resulted in contractors not connecting their working class tenements to the city mains, which forced tenants to rely on the same backyard pumps that had been poisoning them in the first place. As usual, the city's low lying poor were hit hardest. Sewage from cesspools leached into neighborhood wells and polluted the springs of the city, increasing the demand for clean water from the mains.
Less than a year after the completion of the waterworks, the City Council passed an ordinance authorizing a $300,000 loan to purchase the land nearby at Lake Chapman to begin building what was to become Druid Lake. Even Druid Lake did not alleviate the supply problem when it was completed in 1865. It took severe droughts from 1869 through 1872 to finally get the city to seriously consider the Gunpowder as a permanent water source. The original price difference of $2.1 to $1.3 million payed a direct cost in human life and well-being.
In 1910 the Mount Royal Reservoir was abandoned by the City Water Department and transferred to the Parks Department. In 1924 the City Park Board demolished the reservoir and removed 50,000 cubic feet of earth, turning the site into park land. At various times proposals to turn the site into a stadium, a swimming pool, and an art museum were discussed, but due to overwhelming dissent the project never got underway. The site remained park land until 1959, when it was bisected by the northbound entrance to the new JFX highway off of North Avenue. Today you can still see the monumental entrance posts to Druid Park via Mount Royal Terrace that stand at the base of the reservoir's original location as you drive past on North Avenue. The keen observer can glimpse the remains of the reservoir's embankments as they pass by on the light rail. (Eben Dennis)

The City Needs a Water Supply
In the early days of Baltimore an abundance of natural springs provided clean and pure water for its inhabitants; but alas, good things never last. As the population grew, springs became stressed, contaminated, and even dried up. There was a need for pumps, wells, and general infrastructure to be created, so after a decade of attempts to establish a water company, a 1797 ordinance passed that appropriated $1,000 to erect pumps in the city's streets. It seems this ordinance passed because people had concerns about putting out fires; they were complacent about the cruddy water they drank. The linear causation likely had fewer steps. Fire burning skin is easier to comprehend than water gets dirty, we drink water, we get sick. Boy it's a good thing we don't make reactionary environmental decisions like that anymore….
By 1800 the idea of bringing water from Gwynns Falls, Jones Falls, and/or Herring Run was being kicked around, and the City Council began plans to divert water into the city. In 1804 water from Carroll's Run ( a source of springs on the west side) was in the process of being piped to the city, when land owners whose property the pipe encroached upon issued an injunction stopping the efforts. Unable to accomplish its goal, the city was forced to rely on its civic minded citizens. Gen. Samuel Smith, Alexander McKim, Elias Ellicott, Robert Goodloe Harper, Thomas McElderry, and John Eager Howard, formed the committee which laid the groundwork for the creation of the Baltimore Water Company on April 20, 1804. This company was funded through subscriptions by citizens, insurance companies, and corporations.
On the suggestion of civil engineer Jonathan Ellicott, the company set its sights on the Jones Falls. The elevation and dry season volume made the waterway quite suitable. Though they couldn't purchase the water rights as far north as they desired in Woodberry, John Eager Howard sold the rights to the water around the present day site of the Preston Street bridge. A storage reservoir to hold the water delivered by a millrace from this site was built on the corner of Calvert and Centre Streets, which was also the site of the Baltimore Water Company's offices.
By 1830 there was yet another need to increase the supply of water to the growing city. Wooden pipes were replaced with cast iron pipes, new plans were made, and surveys were drawn up to determine how to supply Baltimore with "a never failing supply of pure, fresh, and wholesome water."* Due to their elevation above sea level, Gwynns Falls and the part of Jones Falls near Tyson's mill (in present day Hampden) seemed to be the most suitable sources. Unlike the landowners along the Gwynns Falls, however, many of the landowners on the Jones Falls made outright refusals to sell their property, and the committee recommended the Gwynns Falls as the best choice.
Fast forward twenty-eight years. New iron pipes had been laid, new water sources were exploited, and a new reservoir had been built to supply water for the east side of the city. But it still wasn't enough. The city continued to expand and grow. After an ordinance was approved by the City Council on July 11, 1857 to provide an increased water supply from the Jones Falls, the water board authorized the money to buy the water rights from Rock Mills north of Woodberry for $150,598, and Swann Lake (now known as Lake Roland) for $289,539.
The map from last week's post, made by Chief Engineer of the City Water Board J. Morris Wampler, was drawn for the purposes of purchasing and condemning land for the conduit from Lake Roland to the new city reservoir in Hampden on the present day south side of Roosevelt Park. The Hampden reservoir was completed in 1861 three years after it began at a cost of $206,643.50 by John W. Maxwell and Company. Maxwell, along with Joseph H. Hoblitzell and F.C. Crowley, constructed the dam at Lake Roland, the conduit, and the new reservoirs at a total cost of 1.3 million dollars. The conduits construction consisted of the excavation of three separate tunnels totaling over 5,000 feet, and over 6 million bricks. All of the pipes used in the project were manufactured in the Poole and Hunt foundry and presumably rolled up the hill. The work was done by mechanics and day laborers.
The Hampden Reservoir remained in operation until 1915, when the municipal water supply was reconstructed once again, and the polluted 40,000,000 gallon reservoir was reduced to a neighborhood ornament. In 1930 it was drained and cleaned, and the pipes were cut off entirely from the city water system to prevent any contamination through seepage. Though the city threatened to drain it for years, Hampden residents managed to block all proposals for more than forty years.
A Murky Murder and a Heliport
In 1957 the Hampden reservoir was drained as investigators searched for a .32 caliber automatic weapon they believed was used in the murder of sandwich-shop proprietor Vincent DiPietro. A few weeks before it was drained, a youth laborer named Donald Coleman was charged in the killing of DiPietro after making "certain admissions" following four days of interrogation. Though DiPietro was a known hot-head, and had stabbed a man in his shop a year earlier, for some reason revenge was discounted as a motivation by the investigators; nor was a robbery mentioned in any report.
Only minutes after the investigators pulled the gun out of the mud of the drained reservoir, DiPietro's widow (who he had also stabbed in a separate incident several months prior) married John C. Lloyd in the Hampden Methodist Church (now known as the United Methodist Church) directly across the street from the muddy pit. When the Rev. Leslie Werner, who was conducting the ceremony on short notice—unaware of the woman's connection to the victim—told the couple that the gun was discovered, there wasn't much of a response. Only after reading their names on the marriage certificate and directly questioning her relationship to the slain man did Rev. Werner realize it was her deceased husband. A week after the marriage the reservoir was once again filled back in with water to the delight of Hampden residents.
In 1960 the Bureau of Water Supply began draining the reservoir without announcement. The city then revealed plans to fill the muddy pit and turn it into a Department of Aviation heliport. The residents, led by Rev. Werner, responded with an immediate outcry. The irate citizens protested that helicopters would be a major disturbance to the school, recreation center, and churches in the immediate proximity. Werner called the ordeal "an infringement on our territorial rights without due recourse to a public hearing."** Eventually the city recanted on the heliport. The draining did continue, however, as the city conveniently had an arrangement with the contractors excavating the new Jones Falls Expressway nearby. In exchange for a local site to dump the excavated soil, the city would receive a discount on the cost of that stretch of highway.
So it was settled, the mud from the Jones Falls Expressway filled the giant hole, and the reservoir has been largely forgotten.

The cruisin' is easy in the Caribbean, and so, one might think, is the packing. In such a paradisiacal setting, the checklist must be short, right? Toss in a teeny-weeny bikini or your loudest pair of board shorts, flip-flops or sandals, a cover-up or T-shirt, and a short stack of mushy-brain novels for those interludes between swims. Done.
But don't zip the luggage yet. The sunny, laid-back setting can be deceiving. If they're not careful, ill-prepared cruisers could end up stuck in their cabins or under shady palm trees watching the good times roll right by them. Some of the hazards include the blistering tropical sun, leaky rental snorkel masks, runaway bikini tops and unexpected rain showers that dampen both the experience and the spirit.
To be sure, cruise ships and Caribbean islands stock the basic necessities - remember, you're not going to Gilligan's Isle but to one of the world's biggest tourist destinations. However, for a smooth vacation, you must anticipate your needs before boarding the vessel, preferably during the crucial packing phase. To assist with this step, we have selected the 10 most important items to throw into your luggage. Follow these suggestions, and the Caribbean cruisin' really will be easy - and fully enjoyable.

Stock up on bottles, tubes, sprays or sticks of sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and protection against UVA and UVB rays. You'll save money by bringing your own supply, as ships charge a premium on this essential toiletry. You'll also find high prices and smaller selection at island convenience stores. When choosing your lotions, take a variety of sizes so you don't have to lug a giant bottle to the beach or pool. Travel-size is ideal, or carry a large bottle (remember to pack it in your checked luggage) and some empty minis that you can fill as needed. And don't forget your pucker: Toss in a lip balm or stick of SPF 30 or more.

Bathing Suits for All Occasions
Bikinis are fine for lying around like a seal on rock, but if you plan to participate in a sporty activity, such as kayaking or scuba-diving, you'll need a bathing suit that won't fly off. For women, pick an athletic one-piece or tankini; men, choose trunks with a secure waist tie and legs that don't balloon like a blowfish. Since you will probably spend 85 percent of your time in swimwear, pack at least two suits, if not three, so that you can rotate the wet and the dry.

Snorkel and Mask
If you're serious about snorkeling or scuba-diving, bring your own equipment. Rental masks often fit poorly, letting in water or fogging up. Your own mask from home, however, fits your face perfectly, allowing you to concentrate on the sea life and not the pool of water forming under your nose. Snorkels are one-size-fits-all, yet if you are discomfited by the idea of using a plastic tube previously kissed by strangers, pack your own. Fins, however, you can leave home without - unless you have whale-size feet.

Underwater Camera
Island waters teem with sculptural coral, noodly seaweed and colorful fish. You'll likely want to document your experience with an underwater or waterproof camera. To consolidate equipment, pick a digital camera that shoots well above and below the waterline. Most major brands sell hybrid land-and-sea models. Depth ranges vary from snorkel-surface to scuba-deep. If you prefer to use your own camera, secure it in a durable waterproof case, and take the plunge. For a quick grab-and-go, consider a cheap disposable camera that you can knock around. Whichever type you choose, purchase the camera and extra memory cards before the ship departs, or you'll pay painfully inflated prices.

Wildlife and Night Sky ID Charts
The Caribbean is home to land and marine life that's unfamiliar to novice naturalists. With laminated identification cards, available at adventure stores and scuba shops, you can instantaneously match the faces of fish, birds, shells and plants with their names and traits. The destination-specific sheets are waterproof, so you can expertly point out the queen angelfish or barracuda as it floats by. In addition, track the night sky with a star and planet locator (chart, wheel or map) that connects the universe's dots.

Cho Oyu. Our expedition, Ugo and Gerolamo Gianola, Erma Pomoni, Flavio Spazzadeschi, Sandro Benzoni, Dr. Giuliano De Marchi, Lino Zani and I as leader, climbed Cho Oyu by the normal northwest side. We reached Tingri on April 10, where we spent four days acclimatizing. On April 14 Ugo and Gerolamo Gianola had to go back temporarily to the border village of Khasa with altitude problems. Dr. De Marchi accompanied them. The rest of us reached Base Camp at 4860 meters by truck that same day. On the 16th, supported by yak transport, we left for Advance Base, which was installed on April 20 at 5350 meters. After Gerolamo Gianola's return on April 19, on the 24th he had to descend to Base Camp with retinal hemorrhages. Benzoni also had to withdraw because of altitude problems. We established Camp I at 6000 meters just at the base of the mountain on April 21 and Camp II at 6500 meters just below the icefall on the ridge on the 25th. On April 30, De Marchi, Zani and Spazzadeschi ascended with one tent to 7000 meters at the top of the icefall. I stayed one more day at Camp II, hoping to ascend the next day to a proposed camp at 7400 meters with Pomoni and Ugo Gianola. On May 1, instead of raising the camp, the other three left early for the summit, which they reached between four and six P.M. I ascended solo to 7000 meters, where I waited for my friends to return from the summit; they were back at midnight. At one A.M. on May 2,I left for the summit in the moonlight. It was extremely cold and windy, but I was on top at nine A.M. and back in Camp III at noon, where my friends were waiting for me. I decided to spend one more night at Camp III but was caught for 36 hours in a bad storm. I was not back in Base Camp until May 5. No more summit attempts were made.
