Alcorn competing in international climbing event By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen This weekend, Brussels native Kali Alcorn will be climbing trees at the highest level, participating in the 2016 International Tree Climbing Competition in San Antonio, Texas. Alcorn, the daughter of Mary Ann Thompson of Brussels, now lives in Olds, Alberta. To punch her ticket to this year's competition in Texas, she Climbing to the top The old idiom of "go climb a tree" might be taken literally by people like Brussels native Kali Alcorn, who will be competing in the International Tree Climbing Competition in Texas this weekend. Alcorn, daughter of Mary Ann Thompson, is a certified arborist and lives in Olds, Alberta. (Photo submitted) won the women's prairie division in a competition held in Winnipeg in May, 2015. The event, which is sanctioned by the International Society of Arboriculture, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The first-ever championship was held in St. Louis, Missouri in 1976. According to the event's website, the event has since evolved to make an impact on industry safety standards throughout the world. Alcorn, now 29, is a certified arborist, qualified tree risk assessor and landscape technician and, according to her grandmother Joan Bernard, has always had an interest in trees. She attended horticultural school in the Niagara area before advancing her education and career in Olds, Alberta. She has competed in local and western Canadian competitions for the last three or four years, but this is her first time heading to the international competition. In a 2014 interview with the CBC, Alcorn said she got her start in western Canada under Gerard Fournier and his company For Trees. At the time of the interview, Fournier was the chair of the Prairie Chapter Tree Climbing Competition. She told the CBC that in addition to loving trees, it was the thrill of being an arborist that first attracted her to the profession. "I just fell in love with climbing, and it keeps you fit, and it is so fun," she said in that 2014 interview. "I don't know what it is, I just love chainsaws. I don't like cutting trees all the time... but I would rather see a tree pruned than removed." Over 60 professionals from 18 countries will compete in the event. On the first day, competitors will take part in five different events, while the next day those with the highest scores will move on to the Masters' Challenge.

Veolia hopes to run NH water By Denny Scott The Citizen Veolia Water Services wants to help North Huron tackle its water and wastewater management after North Huron lost its chief operator Don Nicholson last year. Since Nicholson stepped down, Veolia had been employed on a temporary basis until the municipality could address the issue and, during council's March 21 meeting, Mark Rupke of Veolia explained how the company wanted North Huron to join the company's growing network of serviced communities. Rupke's presentation outlined how Veolia is the largest private water and wastewater operating company both in North America and the world. Thirty-six per cent of water systems run by third party companies in Canada are handled by Veolia while they operate 21 per cent of those across the world. Locally, Veolia works for Brockton, Walkerton, South Bruce, Huron Kinloss, Wroxeter, Ashfield- Colborne-Wawanosh, Goderich, Lucan, Bayfield and Varna. Across Canada, the company has operations in British Columbia, Manitoba and in the Maritimes. Rupke explained the company has three specific responsibilities: operations and maintenance of water and wastewater systems, equipment supply for those systems and designing and building systems. He said that he hopes North Huron will consider becoming a part of the existing infrastructure the company has in the area. "We're looking to add North Huron into our regional operations," he said. "We will have a regional hub and try and support the municipalities we work with. We will share resources and recognize synergy." Rupke's proposal included having John Graham, the company's representative in Goderich, in charge of the North Huron project as he is with other local projects. "Under John, there will be a lead operator and a technical lead locally that would be assisting the local staff," he said. "Your people know the facility, so we want to work with them. They know what they're doing, but they need the support, the back office know-how and the technical expertise we can offer. We don't want to change your staff or displace people from local communities unless there is an absolute need to do something." Council accepted Rupke's report with no further action.
