The first over-land migration of Canadian beluga

By tetrapodzoology on July 8, 2009. Like many of us, I m sure, I have a great interest in the life-sized replica cetaceans that have often been made for museum displays. Making such models is an incredibly skilled process with an honourable tradition, and it requires a huge amount of research and experience if the results are to be at all accurate. Over the winter of 2008-9, marine mammal expert Paul Brodie - who you might recall from my discussion of his work on rorqual feeding mechanics (Brodie 1993) - completed construction of a life-sized Beluga Delphinapterus leucas mother and calf. The models were destined for display in a special beluga exhibition, scheduled to open last month, at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (PWNHC) at Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, and successfully arrived there in April.

A Grand Adventure

When Matthew Lien sits down at his Yamaha C7 grand piano, it’s as if the stresses of his life dissipate with every note. So when his business and his mother’s health began to fail last year, Lien found he needed the soft trill of his piano more than ever. Last October, Lien’s mother had a stroke while visiting him in his Whitehorse home from San Diego. On top of the health scare, Lien had to manage her exorbitant medical bill while figuring out how to move her up North, as she can no longer live on her own.
