raise my left arm straight out to my side. My limb becomes a branch. A slightly shaking perch. I’m nervous to look back but want to see what’s coming. I can almost hear the rustle of leaves, flap of wings, some shift in the air. I turn my head but I’m too late, Maya’s already landed on my clenched, leatherencased fist. So fast. She’s a Harris hawk, after all.

She gets her reward, some sinew or innards of a mouse or other down-the-food-chain creature, from my instructor at the Ireland School of Falconry. I think Maya gives me a little nod, settling back “under my thumb,” as the saying goes (an old term that some say stems from how the thin leather strap—a “jess”—affixed to these predatory birds is tucked under the thumb to keep them in place).

Maya is beautiful. Sleek and shiny with eyes that seem to hold primeval wisdom. She knows more about this land than I ever will. And this Hawk Walk with my avian escort at Ireland’s oldest school of falconry is an immersion into the island country’s fascinating history and culture—and through the ancient woodland of Ashford Castle. The 350-acre estate is home to a stronghold that’s sat on the shores of Lough Corrib since 1228. >>

The annual Cong Food Village Festival takes place in early June, but you can still sample the area’s food and drink, like Velvet Cloud’s handmade sheep’s yogurt. And the village is a short, sweet walk from Ashford Castle, along the river and over an old monastery bridge (it was also one of the stars in the John Ford classic, The Quiet Man, with John Wayne).

he eastern sky was just starting to brighten as I set up my tripod and camera on the beach near Nags Head Fishing Pier. It was my second day on the banks and I was hoping for some good weather. I used a wide-angle zoom, shutter priority and a 2-second shutter speed for a wide depth-of-field, placing the rickety wooden pier in the middle of my frame. I took a series of shots until the bright sun started to peak above the low clouds on the eastern horizon.

I dashed from the beach to the pier entrance hoping to capture some silhouettes of the fishermen at the far end of the jetty. Thank goodness for the low clouds.

Sometimes we get lucky. Without those clouds the bright sun would have produced too much contrast for the shot I was trying to get. As the sun peaked above the clouds I started shooting at various focal lengths from 70–200mm. The sun line across the calm water was a bonus.

The 280-km chain of barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks have much more to offer than 80 km of beach. The region played a significant role in the American Civil War and each year hosts a number of battle reenactments. Later in the week I was setting up on a low hill on Roanoke Island adjacent to a Confederate artillery battle line. Below, a ragtag bunch of Union troops were starting their charge up the hill.

As the last gunner signaled ready, the Union troops were already breathing down on them. The gunnery officer raised his sabre and yelled, “fire!” In a deafening barrage, six cannons exploded, their barrels belching fire and smoke. The Union troops quickly retreated as the choking smoke drifted across the battlefield. After quickly checking my images I changed to a medium telephoto lens set at 60mm and framed the cannons and increased my shutter speed to 1/400 second to better capture the flames spewing from the cannon.

After getting my flaming cannon shot— on the fourth charge—I switched my focus to the battles and skirmishes that happened during the day-long celebration. The participants in these re-enactments take their roles seriously, so I tried to document

The Banks has half a dozen famous historic lighthouses including Cape Hatteras Light near Buxton on Hatteras Island, the tallest and most photographed lighthouse in the US. After exploring every angle with a waning sun, I opted for framing the black-and-white tower within the porch posts on the lightkeeper’s house. I used a wide-angle 14–24mm zoom lens set at 20mm, a shutter speed of 1/60 second and an aperture of f16 to render most of the scene in sharp focus.

their uniforms and battle formations while still respecting their battle zone. The South bested the Union troops in the actual battle back in April of 1864.

A day later I spent the morning photographing a number of beach scenes including a few cliché images of those wooden slatted fences used to hold back the encroaching beach dunes. I exposed for the foreground in the backlit scenes and used a 2-stop graduated neutral-density filter to darken the sky. It’s difficult to match the exposures of backlit subjects, so I tried various combinations of increasing exposures using the darker portions of the graduated filter.

I spent the rest of that day wandering the dunes with the wild Spanish horses in Currituck National Wildlife Refuge near Corolla. Apparently, the Spanish established a settlement on the island in 1521, but fled when attacked by the indigenous Coree Indians and left their livestock behind.

It’s against refuge rules to get closer than 50 metres, so a tripod and telephoto in the 200–300mm range is best. The horses are in constant motion while the wind blows their manes and the grass, so I used a higher shutter speed of 1/500 second to freeze the action.

It’s just one element to capture in the Outer Banks and its islands.

Besides an abundance of Civil War sites, the Wright Brothers’ historic site on Kill Devil Hills (a group of large sand dunes)

near Kitty Hawk is pretty epic. It was here on a chilly windy morning on December 17, 1903 that the Wright Flyer made aviation history. Today, the site has a museum at the base of the hill and a large stone monument with busts of Orville and Wilbur gracing the summit. Early one morning I made my way up this hill snapping a series of images highlighting the slope and then the monument itself. Using a wide-angle zoom and tripod I composed my hill images using the walkway as a leading line and captured the scene at ½ second and f18. A polarizing filter helped to accentuate the surreal morning sky.

Later that morning on the nearby dunes I photographed a family flying a kite in the morning breeze. The image provided the perfect juxtaposition for a story I did on the Wright Brothers’ first flight.

he smile of the 12-year-old girl radiated the same warmth and kindness that Cambodians are known for around the world. The front two teeth, however, were marred by grey, an unmistakable indicator of cavities. Dr. Hannah Kashyap of Ottawa West Dental was determined to do everything she could to try to save the teeth. In Cambodia, a nation that underwent decades of late-20th century civil war, followed by genocide at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, great strides have been made to lift the nation out of poverty, thanks to the thriving tourism and textile industries. Kashyap knew that saving the front teeth of the girl could mean the difference between a life in the hospitality industry that could lift her out of poverty or subsistence farming in rural Cambodia.

Kashyap undertook the 2 ½-week-long mission to Cambodia last year with Global Dental Relief (GDR), a United States-based organization that works in six countries providing dental care to children. The 12-year-old’s caries, located between the front teeth, were “border line” and luckily could be fixed with a simple filling, rather than a root canal. Due to adequate but basic facilities and conditions, fillings and extractions were the extent of the services offered. Still, the children received exemplary care, Kashyap says. “You are creative with what is available. Your skills and techniques get better because you’re forced to use instruments that might not otherwise be used for what you are doing.”

Not all of the children were as fortunate.

Kashyap saw many youngsters of similar age who had severe decay or had lost their permanent front teeth. “It can be upsetting seeing the amount of work needing to be done—knowing it’s not possible to do everything,” says Kashyap, who is hoping to join GDR on another mission to either Kenya or Guatemala.

The trip to Cambodia wasn’t Kashyap’s first international trip; she undertook dental-related excursions before entering the McGill University Faculty of Dentistry in Montréal, graduating in 2013. Following a degree in biochemistry and Hispanic languages, multilingual Kashyap first

By third year, they are providing free dental care under supervision. “I wanted to eliminate pain, give someone a smile they’re proud of, and restore someone’s ability to eat and gain self-confidence,” Kashyap says.

Upon graduation, Kashyap spent a year “There are so many opportunities to give providing emergency dental services as a back both in one’s community and abroad,” resident at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. she says.

CAFE coup

W

ith Washington’s constant churn of headlines, an important news story barely survived through one 24-hour cycle. In March, the Trump administration signaled its intention to roll back the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards scheduled for the years 2022–2025. To do so would be a late-inning game-changer.

Like most stories out of Washington these days, this one left me yearning for the truth behind the headline. CAFE is a salesweighted rule under which automakers sell passenger vehicles in the US. I pondered where 50 years of wisely crafted CAFE policy should have brought us by now. Are we even close to that destination?

Countries) embargoed oil supply to the US in the fall of 1973 as punishment for US support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War. Six months of the oil embargo and its induced gas shortages and skyrocketing fuel prices revealed the US economy’s utter dependence on oil supply from non-allied nations. With CAFE, Congress legislated passenger vehicle gas mileage to reduce the domestic demand for oil that had exposed the nation to OPEC’s supply-side blackmail.

The 1975 US vehicle fleet was by far the worst average fuel efficiency of OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) nations. Blame negligible fuel tax. The 1975 CAFE called for a doubling of sales-weighted new-car-fleet fuel mileage by 1985. Yet, in the US when fuel was cheap consumers bought gas guzzlers. When fuel was expensive, US consumers bought more gas-efficient cars.

Manufacturers either met the year-by-year CAFE standards or paid the formula-derived fines when they didn’t. Strangely, the CAFE tool (and negligible fuel tax too) was left gas woes untouched through the A line of cars at a administrations of Carter, US gas station durReagan (x2), George Bush, ing the ’70s-era . .

it was likely that the other OECD nations would adopt the same fuel economy standards to 2025.

These accomplishments since 2007 sound impressive, but the devil is in the details. Light trucks have far looser CAFE targets than cars. Light trucks sales have gradually gained now-overwhelming market predominance in North America.

Fines for missing CAFE targets have not been increased by one penny since day one. Far more vehicles are on the road now than in decades prior, and per year each vehicle travels on average far more miles.

Consequently, North America consumes more fossil fuel each year.

So what’s the report card on our leaders’ track record since 1975 on guiding policy so we arrive where we need to be in 2025?

I’d have to give our leaders an A- under readiness for another OPEC oil embargo.

Since 1975 with “drill-baby-drill,” the US has gone from the world’s biggest oil importer to a net exporter of petroleum. The real hero here has little to do with public policy though—engineers have devised new techniques to unlock oil reserves previously too difficult to tap.

On consumer happiness, I’d give an A+. Extreme sports cars, factory-issue drag cars, SUVs, pick-ups, people-movers. New vehicle prices have gotten ever-cheaper in constant value dollars. Gasoline is far cheaper than soda pop, with the North American consumer still paying the lowest fuel taxation in the OECD. On looking out for the health of the planet, collectively the leaders get a C-, though individually Trump gets an F. Despite improving the fleet’s mpg with CAFE’s regulatory framework, the EU and Japan are miles further ahead in fleet fuel efficiency by also using punitive fuel taxes. Our leaders’ good grades in oil security and happy voters have been knowingly obtained at the expense of the environment.

Canada’s fossil fuel path to date has been only slightly less deplorable than our southern neighbour. Future generations will be correct in harshly judging our leaders, and by extension us, on how we wean ourselves off fossil fuel.

Summer cocktails

Sip these patio pleasers from must-see spots across Canada

Lynn Road Lemonade

Wolf in the Fog, Tofino, BC Named after a well-known road along Chesterman Beach, this drink from Tofino restaurant Wolf in the Fog is a twist on the classic Lynchburg Lemonade.

“We’ve taken a bourbon-style whisky from Okanagan Spirits, and an orange and sumac spirit from Legend Distillery in Naramata, and added lemon, simple syrup and soda,” says bar manager Hailey Pasemko. “We’ve essentially recreated the classic cocktail but with BC spirits.”

Combine in a shaker: 1 oz Okanagan Spirits BRBN 1 oz Manitou (from Legend Distilling) 1 oz lemon juice 1 oz simple syrup* Add ice, shake and strain into a Collins glass. Top with cubed ice and soda. Garnish: Two lemon wheels.

—Recipe by Hailey Pasemko

Carrot Creek

Park Distillery, Banff, AB Its bright orange colour makes it look like nutrients-in-a-glass, but don’t be fooled. In addition to fresh carrot juice, this cocktail— whose moniker is a nod to a local trail—is packed with Vitamin V (as in, vodka).

“What we’re trying to do with the Carrot Creek cocktail is entwine the health aspect with alcohol. Up here in the mountains we preach health but we also drink a lot in Banff, so this cocktail gives us the best of both,” says master distiller Matthew Hendricks.

Combine in a shaker: 2 oz Park Classic Vodka 2 oz fresh carrot juice 0.75 oz fresh lime juice 1 oz ginger syrup* Add ice, shake and strain over fresh ice in a tall glass. Garnish: A pickled carrot and a dash of cracked pepper.

—Recipe by Matthew Hendricks

North Meets South

Deerhurst Resort, Muskoka, ON Gin mixed with tequila might sound like an odd combo, but the floral notes of Muskoka Spirits’ dry-style gin play nice with the tart tang of La Pinta pomegranate tequila for a Muskoka-meets-Mexico cocktail.

“You could drink three of them,” says Rory Golden, executive chef and food and beverage director at Deerhurst Resort in the heart of cottage country.

In a highball glass over ice add: 0.75 oz Muskoka Legendary Gin 0.75 oz La Pinta pomegranate tequila 6 Johnston’s Cranberry Marsh sun-dried cranberries steeped in La Pinta 0.5 oz Muskoka Springs Pale Ginger Ale Splash of soda Stir. Garnish: Skewer of 4-5 tequilasteeped cranberries.

Tilting

Fogo Island Inn, Fogo Island, NL Somewhere between a Pimm’s Cup and a mojito lies the Tilting, a sessionable cocktail that’s named for the wild mint and blueberries that grow on the road to Tilting, a community on Fogo Island.

“Our berries are such a hallmark of Fogo Island,” says Amanda Stephen, dining room manager at Fogo Island Inn. “We also have an abundance of fresh mint.” Newfoundland rum further speaks to The Rock and adds an additional punch.

In a shaker, muddle: 10 mint leaves 0.5 oz simple syrup* Add: 1 oz Newfoundlander’s White Rum 0.5 oz Pimm’s No. 1 1 oz unsweetened blueberry juice 0.5 oz lemon juice Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add ice and top with No Boats on Sunday cider. Garnish: A mint sprig.

G

iant red sandstone cliffs flank me as I follow a winding path toward a place I’ve waited my entire life to see.

I’m exploring the Siq, the 1.2-km natural gorge that leads to the Treasury, the centrepiece of the 2,000-year-old lost city of Petra. It put Jordan on the map for Western cinema-goers when Harrison Ford and Sean Connery rode away in the finale of 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Holy stations with idols, lofty burial places, and surreal rocks resembling elephants or skulls heighten the anticipation as I approach the spectacular memorial tomb of a first-century Nabataean trader king. “I’ve been here hundreds of times, but each time it feels like the first time,” says my guide Mahmoud. When I spot the Treasury up ahead through a sunlit gap in the cliffs, its rich, multifarious façade—dancing Amazons, Greek eagles, Roman columns—hits me with thrilling force.

Petra is like nowhere else on earth, and I’ve only scraped the surface of this 57-square-kilometre archeological site with more than 800 monuments. That feeling of never-ending discovery extends to the whole Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

If you think a Middle Eastern nation that borders on Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iraq and Syria would be too perilous to visit, think again. My 10-day visit here proves as smooth as the 10-hour Royal Jordanian flight on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Montréal to the capital city of Amman.

And if you think only religious visitors flock to Jordan—famous for Biblical landmarks from Mount Nebo, where Moses beheld the Promised Land, to the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized— think again. While theological lore still looms large, this compact nation (84,932 square kilometres) also delivers delicious cuisine, outdoor adventures, luxury accommodations and, beyond Petra, less-publicized ruins from its Ammonite, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman eras.

Famished after touring Petra, which includes an 850-step climb to the gargantuan, mountain-carved Monastery, I take a masterclass in Jordanian cooking at Petra Kitchen. Lentil soup, hummus and pan-roasted chicken seem even tastier after making them myself at this cheery establishment with blue wall tiles. Local olive oil heightens the flavours. The country has about twice as many olive trees (18 million) as people, as everyone here loves to point out, making olive oil a staple. This adds up to a winning feast fit for King Abdullah II, who’s ruled Jordan—quite popularly—since 1999.

Sated, I embark on more adventures. Lawrence of Arabia, starring Peter O’Toole, is a classic film, but actually visiting Wadi Rum, the desert stomping grounds of heroic British officer T. E. Lawrence, is an overwhelming experience for the eyes, heart and mind. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom rock formation is an enormous landmark on par with Australia’s Uluru or Maui’s Haleakalā.

As I ride a charmingly grumpy camel and whoosh around Wadi Rum in a jeep, the 720-square-kilometre desert in southern Jordan entrances me with its dream-like sandstone mountains, echoing

gorges and magical sunset views. I slip into a meditative state. When night falls, I unwind further in a luxury tent at the Sun City Camp.

I’m sampling the luxe quotient now. And another brand of it awaits in bustling Amman at the brand-new Fairmont hotel, where I sip Turkish coffee served beneath crystal chandeliers. Caffeinated, I set off to explore the hilltop Citadel, a melange of buildings ranging from Roman times to the seventh-century Umayyad Dynasty. After hiking to the Temple of Hercules and its eye-catching colossal marble hand (thought to be a relic from a once-standing statue of the god), I marvel at the superb views across this city of four million.

In Jordan, I just can’t get enough ruins. Jerash lies an easy hour’s drive north of Amman, with wild Aleppo pines flourishing along the highway. Among the world’s best-preserved Roman provincial towns, Jerash burgeons with photogenic stone gates, forums, temples and theatres.

From the colonnaded, 800-metre-long Cardo Maximus imprinted with chariot-wheel grooves to the stupendous Oval Plaza with its Ionic columns, I find myself humming Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” under my breath because it all feels so epic. And Jerash offers another good workout: someone’s Fitbit hits 10,000 steps just as my tour group exits the sweeping site.

I continue my exploration via Jordan’s many artistic and cultural traditions. I’m fascinated by the intricate mosaics of local artisans at the Noor Al-Hussein Community Development Program in the ancient town of Madaba, near Mount Nebo. Using materials such as limestone, jade, onyx and coral, they create everything from wall art to mosaic-encrusted ostrich eggs.

I’m even more intrigued to witness the Bedouin tradition of coffee-making on a hike near the Feynan Ecolodge, located in the 308-square-kilometre Dana Biosphere Reserve. In a carpet-laden tent, I discover how to grind coffee beans rhythmically by hand, learn that the Bedouin have 17 different names for fire and am told that accepting a fourth cup of coffee from your host means serious business (such as a marriage engagement or tribal vendetta!).

It’s a wild juxtaposition of ancient and modern ways. As goats and donkeys roam nearby, I find out that today’s Bedouin stay in touch with each other via Facebook and pick their campsites based on cellular service.

Back at the Feynan Ecolodge, I enjoy the silence of my candle-lit, mud-walled room before rooftop stargazing, as our guide tells Arab legends about the origins of the Milky Way galaxy. I only wish I had more time to explore the surrounding moonscape-like terrain. In the Dana Biosphere Reserve, four different climate zones—where wolves, jackals and blue lizards roam—await wildlife buffs.

My tour wraps up with more laid-back luxury at the seaside Kempinski Hotel Ishtar. I’ve now made it to the edge of the Dead Sea. After feasting on tender, grilled Denis fish and chocolate biscotti at the nearby Ocean restaurant, I find myself slathering on therapeutic Dead Sea mud and floating in the famously salty, buoyant water. My mind is floating, too, in magical directions. From mysterious rock tombs to the silent majesty of the desert, it feels like anything is possible in Jordan, the kingdom of dreams.

(CE events in Halifax are highlighted in blue.)

H

alifax has long known how to have a good time.

In 1606, explorer Samuel de Champlain kicked off centuries of Nova Scotia merrymaking when he established L’Ordre de Bon Temps, the Order of the Good Time, to raise the spirits of his men wintering 200 km north of Halifax. The Order is still in existence today, celebrating food, drink and entertainment—all of which Halifax offers in abundance.

Focus your quest for good cheer in the compact downtown. On the waterfront, a series of wooden boardwalks and piers wind along Halifax harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world. Buskers provide toe-tapping, hand-clapping entertainment while food kiosks dish out local fare: fresh-caught fish and chips, Black Bear ice cream and oh-so-Canadian poutine and Beavertails.

Enjoy tales of Halifax’s rich marine heritage at the dockside Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (maritimemuseum.novascotia.ca). View artifacts both small (a pair of children’s shoes from the Titanic) and large (the steamship CSS Acadia, moored at the museum wharf) as well as an exceptional small craft gallery. If

you’re inspired to get out on the water, choose from a variety of harbour cruises including the child-magnet Theodore Tugboat tour (ambassatours.com).

Back on land, stroll south to the Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market (halifaxfarmersmarket.com) with its mix of fresh produce, food outlets and local crafts. Just beyond is the highly recommended Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 (pier21.ca) where engaging displays and first-person accounts tell the story of Pier 21, the entry point for one in five immigrants to Canada between 1928 and 1971, as well as the broader immigrant experience. The museum’s research centre is a gold mine for visitors interested in finding records of relatives who stepped off the ships and in to their new lives in Canada via Pier 21.

Raise a glass to those ancestors at Alexander Keith’s Nova Scotia Brewery (alexanderkeithsbrewery.com/ tour) where beer has been flowing for almost 200 years.

The brewery’s popular tours offer some light history and brewing lore, followed by live music and glasses of beer served in the brewery’s former aging cavern, now the Stag’s Head pub.

[more] Check out discover halifaxns.com

If beer is the social lubricant for Maritime cheer, live music is the soundtrack. Check out who’s playing at the always entertaining (if somewhat claustrophobic) Lower Deck (lowerdeck.ca) as well as at Split Crow Pub (splitcrow.ca), a divey spot that claims to be Nova Scotia’s original tavern. Find the Celtic heart of Halifax at The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse (oldtriangle.com) that features live music seven nights a week and traditional Irish dancing on Sunday afternoons.

When it’s time to eat, go beyond pub grub and opt for more creative fare at Edna (ednarestaurant.com), known for its daily oyster and seafood-forward dining specials as well as a killer weekend brunch, and Chives Canadian Bistro (chives.ca), where the chef’s obsession with regionally sourced Nova Scotia ingredients is celebrated by Haligonians. Sample more local oysters (try Merigomish and Malagash) at Gahan House (halifax. gahan.ca). For Italian cuisine prepared with modern twists, dine at the hip, old-Euro-bistro-feeling La Frasca Cibi & Vini (lafrasca.ca) or The Bicycle Thief (bicyclethief. ca), a busy, boisterous restaurant that captures the energy of this good-times town. — Ann Britton Campbell

ou’re never prepared for your first face-to-face encounter with a wolf. No matter how many times I’ve heard that wolves are not the creatures in childhood tales of wandering girls in red capes or Prokofiev symphonies, that they are a shy predator who would rather turn tail and run than stalk a human, standing 15 feet from a black wolf in the subarctic bush leaves me stunned and, yes, a little anxious. Wolves stare. I avert my eyes.

This particular young male, three years old, our guide suggests, is part of a pack encamped near Churchill Wild’s Nanuk Lodge, about an hour’s flight northeast of Churchill, Manitoba. I visited the outfitter’s Seal River Lodge a couple of years ago, where I watched juvenile polar bears frolic and then I swam with beluga whales. Both amazing experiences, but when I learned about the prospect of wolf encounters at Nanuk I became obsessed with travelling north again.

It may sound absurd, but the other Nanuk

amenities—potential polar bear sightings, including sows with cubs, moose and even wolverines—were merely a bonus. I craved my Farley Mowat moment and that meant one predator: wolves.

Of course, finding wolves in the wild is totally unpredictable, given that a pack will routinely travel 30 miles a day in search of food. I’d also watched Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley pack but that alpha female is radiotagged, so it felt like cheating. The wolves were also so far away, tearing into an elk on the ridgeline, that I only saw them through a spotting scope. The Nanuk Lodge outfitters would make no excuses for elusive wildlife.

They were quite surprised this pack was still “sticking around.”

Having spied the pack upon descent a group of us head out the gate just 30 minutes after deplaning from the Piper. We’d also spotted 16 polar bears in and around the Hudson Bay estuary during our flight.

Now, rumbling west along the runway and onto ATV trails, we come to a stop along the stream bed.

A pair of pups tussles with each other on a shallow bench in the distance. Older individuals in the 14-wolf pack step through the brown-and-brittle tundra grasses, their sable coats blending easily with the enveloping brush. I’m thrilled just to see any wolf, but also happy that I brought my telephoto lens.

Each wolf pauses at nearly the exact same point, looks in our direction, and continues its wide swath. I assume this distance will be maintained wherever and whenever we see more wolves. I am wrong.

Churchill Wild founder Mike Reimer takes a tracker’s approach to his lodges, believing that with careful consideration and respect, one can enter the habitat of storied predators without disruption. He’s honed these skills while traversing over 100,000 square kilometres of the subarctic.

Be it polar bear, rutting moose or wolf, the individual knowledge of guides and a steady, deferential approach propels the Churchill Wild safari experience beyond any other tours I’ve taken in North America. With deep understanding comes mutual trust.

travel at home

this page, opposite and previous The three-day spectacle never stops outside Churchill Wild’s Nanuk Lodge in Northern Manitoba: wolves, polar bears, moose and aurora borealis

Our guides discuss this relationship as we bounce along the tundra trails in open wagons en route to our first bear encounter: a sluggish young female who, we learn, has mostly slumbered for the past three weeks, an indication she may be pregnant. We walk in a jagged path toward her, stopping several times to fan out silently, place our tripods in the permafrost and start snapping. We come within 100 metres but, although she sniffs the air to establish our coordinates, she remains a white fur puddle without a ripple of care.

Like the snow geese that vacillate over the tundra in flocks numbering in the hundreds, this somnolent bear awaits the coming change of season. Within one month from our mid-September visit, Hudson Bay will freeze over and the bear’s brain will ignite with the desire to hunt. The frigid air will also bring lessons in survival for the sow and cub we approach the following morning; in short, how to hunt seals and other pinnipeds while staying equally vigilant of aggressive and hungry adult male bears.

We again approach deliberately, taking almost 45 minutes to reach our final spot 150 metres away, watching the youngster restlessly move about his napping mother. I keep my anthropomorphizing to a minimum even if, as the parent of three boys, I well remember the toddler days when lazing about was the last notion on their minds.

Eventually, after we’ve retreated to the ATVs for cups of hot chocolate, the cub cajoles his mother to take a stroll. Noses in the air, the pair turns toward us in equally measured passage. “They’re curious about the chocolate,” says the guide as mother and cub cross a creek 100 metres away. The approach continues, eventually coming within 25 metres, at which point a couple of claps and a stern word encourage them to stop and stake their territory in typical ursine fashion. As we depart they continue to survey us and, given the posture of their snouts, our sweet beverages.

Unlike bears, who are often discouraged with an audio outburst, a call—made with

the vibrations of string that’s attached to a plastic bottle—will encourage a moose to approach. That, and a well-timed water pour into the stream in imitation of a urinating female. Somehow our guides have also divined a mist-covered canvas for when this 13-point bull steps free of the willow-lined bank to investigate the source of all this calling and peeing.

Perhaps it’s the evening’s silence, even the aurora borealis will crackle later tonight, that compels me later, back at the lodge, to linger beside the fence that surrounds Nanuk. I’m hoping for one more canine encounter. They’d howled the previous night from the airstrip before bedding down in the adjacent sedge. Perhaps I’m being greedy, considering that just yesterday I had encountered that black male staring from behind a sapling not 15 feet from my lens.

And then there he was, grey as gravel, staring me down from just behind a fire-red shrub, with gentle almond eyes and a smirk that conveyed his confidence, knowing who would look away first.

But while medical patients today crawl over broken glass to see a doctor and jam the waiting room, dental patients, not so much.

In some parts of the city you see just as many dental practices as coffee shops, and it’s the patients who now have lots of clinics to choose from. How do you make sure they pick yours?

Will Rogers said: “You never get a second chance to make a first good impression.” For matters your patients, it is YOUR office.

Patients’ first impression of your (almost) as office stands out more than much as how they judge your skills and skills professional conduct as a dentist.

Dentists are beginning to realize the power of design as a key building block for practice success, because:

days of long wait times, when the demand for dental treatment exceeded the supply of dentists. Many new dental practices today still have that same sterile look with

According to a survey by Dental Products Report, one out of three dentists is not happy with the current configuration of his or her clinic. Dentists have come to the realization that patients see the office design as a reflection of their competence and practice as a whole. Consequently, they’re now investing in the renovation of their practices. And so should you.

For a successful renovation, you need a designer who creates an environment that is not only unique to you and your personal brand but also focuses on patients’ comfort and well-being.

Hire a reputable contractor specializing in dental clinics who understands that the job must get done on budget and on time, which often means nights and weekends to minimize the office interruption.

Investing in a renovation or a new build in a retail location pays tremendous dividends. Moving from a third floor office building to street level can boost the monthly new patient count by 30–40 patients. I’ve seen a number of dentist clients who started a practice in a great location generate 50 new patients per month. A good location is a retail space with lots of exposure in a growing residential area where other dental clinics are closed most evenings and Sunday—the busiest day for many clinics in urban areas.

So, the old adage holds: location, location, location. And be flexible. It’s a new dental world.

he layout of dental clinics has not really changed much over the years.

The design goal has always been to meet the needs of the dentist and staff in terms of functionality, efficiency and comfort. The needs of the patient are usually not taken into account as long as the patient has a chair to sit on.

Dentists in the past could safely ignore the patients’ perspective in their design because those were the good old

Corporate conspiracy?

A

motivated to spread this message of corporate surgency in dental service.

Of note is that many of these large firms now prefer to be called Dental Service Organizations (DSO).

Recently I called some of my late-career dentists who have been exploring the possibility of selling their practices and one, in particular, was unnerved by a similar message about the growth of corporate dentistry.

My response was very simple: don’t panic. Don’t listen to this propaganda.

I started in the industry back in the late 1980s— almost 30 years ago— with a large corporation that had the same , o l o s sta y agenda of persuading g n small independents to sta y st r o join the corporate system and merge under the suggested that corporate dentistry is the safety of the larger umbrella and reign of a saviour of the solo, independent dentist and big corporate entity. that solo dentists should join the corporaCorporate dentistry did not materialize, tions rather than try to compete with them. as predicted then, and solo dentists I question the motives of this individual survived and prospered like no other time in and any others sharing unsubstantiated history. In fact, their practices’ value over the information with dental clientele. I also last 30 years increased substantially. question whether or not these “informants” So, as a solo dentist, what do you do are financially or politically (or both) client called me the other day to say that one of his long-term and respected dental industry suppliers had approached him to say that the word on the street is that the solo dentist is an outdated business model. Furthermore, he

NOW? My first advice—again—ignore the propaganda. Second, question where the message comes from and how it’s being disseminated to you as an independent dentist. Are you being encouraged to either sell and/or merge your practice with a corporate? And by whom?

Corporate dentistry is here to stay, it’s expanding, and I have no argument with it whatsoever. But, I do argue the messages being shared by those who predict the end of the solo dentist. Consider who benefits the most in promoting this “doomsday” scenario. Is it a scare tactic designed to bring solo practice values down? Who’s the wellfunded entity that benefits from declining practice values?

The solo, independent dentist remains the business model for about 70% of all dentists in Canada. And they remain successful—independent of corporate influences—and true to their own personal, moral and ethical values.

Corporate dentistry is a very small part of the Canadian marketplace. My records and other research suggest that approximately 6 or 7% of all dental practices in Canada are corporately owned. And remember that corporate dentistry only started in Canada in the 1980s. I predict the corporates will own, at most, about 10% of the Canadian marketplace in three to five years. Don’t panic—you, as a solo dentist, are fine.
