Amphitrite Point Lighthouse

Amphitrite Point Lighthouse is an active lighthouse in Ucluelet on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, named after Amphitrite, the sea goddess and wife of Poseidon in Greek mythology. It is also known for one of the sample pictures in Windows 7. Geography Amphitrite Point has the only active lighthouse in the Tofino-Ucluelet area accessible by automobile, with the only other local lighthouse being on Lennard Island, viewable only by air or boat. The Amphitrite Point Light is located at the southern end of the Ucluelet Peninsula and the north side of the Barkley Sound, approximately 3 kilometers south of downtown Ucluelet and 40 kilometers south of Tofino, British Columbia. The lighthouse tower is closed to the public but the grounds are open as part of the Lighthouse Loop section of the Wild Pacific Trail. In addition to hiking the trail to view the lighthouse, visitors can park at the end of Coast Guard Road and walk directly to the lighthouse in 2–3 minutes. Amphitrite Point, much like the rest of the Ucluelet Peninsula, is subjected to frequent winter storms and has an oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) with approximately 3.3 metres (130 inches) of annual rainfall. The next active lighthouse to the north of Amphitrite Point Light is the Lennard Island Lighthouse off of Chesterman Beach; the next active lighthouse to the south is the Cape Beale Lightstation on the south side of Barkley Sound. History The first lighthouse at this site was a small wooden tower built in 1906. This lighthouse was destroyed in bad weather in 1914, and the current concrete lighthouse opened in March 1915. Amphitrite Point is exposed to frequent gale-force winds, tidal waves and is also in a tsunami inundation zone, so the current lighthouse (built in 1915) derives its peculiar shape and construction from being designed to withstand strong westerly storms coming off the Pacific Ocean. It was staffed by Canadian Coast Guard lighthouse keepers from 1915 until 1988, when it was automated. Oceanographic research The Amphitrite Point Light is one of 12 lighthouses part of the British Columbia Shore Station Oceanographic Program, collecting coastal water temperature and salinity measurements everyday since 1934. Their data show an increase in coastal water temperatures of 0.08 °C per decade. This trend is a result of anthropogenic climate change.

Phare d'Amphitrite Point

Le phare d'Amphitrite Point est un phare situé près de Ucluelet sur la côte ouest de l'île de Vancouver, dans le District régional d'Alberni-Clayoquot (Province de la Colombie-Britannique), au Canada. Ce phare est géré par la Garde côtière canadienne. Histoire Le premier phare, construit en 1906, était une petite tour en bois. Il fut détruit le 2 janvier 1914 et remplacé par une tourelle en béton en 1915 pour résister aux tempêtes. Occupé par des gardiens de 1915 à 1988, il a été automatisé à leur départ.. Le phare d'Amphitrite Point est le seul phare actif dans la région de Tofino-Ucluelet accessible en automobile. Il est situé à l'extrémité sud de la péninsule d'Ucluelet et au nord de Barkley Sound (en). La péninsule et le phare sont souvent soumis aux tempêtes hivernales. Il est fermé au public. Description Le phare actuel, datant de 1915, est une tour octogonale blanche en deux étages, avec une lanterne rouge, de 6 m de haut. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 15 m, un éclat blanc toutes les 12 secondes. Sa portée nominale est de milles nautiques (environ 31 km).

Farul Amphitrite Point

Farul Amphitrite Point este un far activ în apropiere de Uclulelet, pe coasta de vest a insulei Vancouver, în Columbia Britanică, Canada, numit după Amfitrita, zeița mării și soția lui Poseidon în mitologia greacă . Geografie Amphitrite Point are singurul far activ din zona Tofino - Ucluelet, zonă accesibilă cu automobilul, singurul alt far local fiind pe Insula Lennard, vizibil doar din aer sau de pe barcă. Amphitrite Point Light este situat la capătul sudic al peninsulei Ucluelet și la partea nordică a Barkley Sound, la aproximativ 3 kilometri sud de centrul orașului Ucluelet și la 40 km sud de Tofino, Columbia Britanică. Turnul farului este închis publicului, dar parterul este deschis ca parte a secțiunii Farului din Traficul Pacificului Sălbatic. În afară de drumeția traseului pentru a vedea farul, vizitatorii pot parca la capătul Drumului Pazei de Coastă și pot merge direct la far în 2-3 minute. Amphitrite Point, la fel ca restul Peninsulei Ucluelet, este supus unor furtuni de iarnă frecvente și are un climat oceanic ( Köppen Cfb) cu aproximativ 3,3 metri de precipitații anuale. Următorul far activ la nord de Amphitrite Point este Farul Insulei Lennard în largul Chesterman Beach ; următorul far activ la sud este CFarul Cape Beale din partea de sud a Barkley Sound . Istorie Primul far din această zonă a fost un mic turn din lemn construit în 1906. Acest far a fost distrus în 1914 din cauze naturale, iar actualul far de beton a fost deschis în martie 1915. Amphitrite Point este expus la vânturi puternice, valuri de maree și se află, de asemenea, într-o zonă de inundare a tsunami-ului, astfel că farul actual (construit în 1915) derivă din forma și construcția sa deosebite din faptul că a fost proiectat să reziste furtunilor puternice din vest care vin din largul Oceanului Pacific . Angajații săi au fost membri ai Gărzii de Coastă din Canada, din 1915 până în 1988, când a fost automatizat. Galerie Note Legături externe Ajutoare pentru navigare Garda de coastă canadiană
Alpha Delta Phi

Alpha Delta Phi (ΑΔΦ) est la quatrième fraternité étudiante grecque la plus ancienne des États-Unis. Elle fut fondée en 1832 par Samuel Eells à l'Hamilton College de Clinton (New York). Theodore Roosevelt et Franklin Delano Roosevelt en furent membres. Aujourd'hui le nom renvoie à la fois à une fraternité masculine fondée en 1832 par Samuel Eells au Hamilton College de Clinton, New York et à la Alpha Delta Phi Society, qui se détacha de la fraternité en 1992 et qui permit des chapitres mixtes. La Fraternité et la Société sont issues de la vision de Eells pour une « société littéraire », bien que l'accent académique initial d'Alpha Delta Phi soit préservé à des degrés divers par des chapitres particuliers.

Race Rocks Light

Race Rocks Light is one of the first two lighthouses that were built on the west coast of Canada, financed by the British Government and illuminated in 1860. It is the only lighthouse on that coast built of rock — granite purportedly quarried in Scotland and topped with sandstone quarried on Gabriola Island. The islets of Race Rocks are located just off the southern tip of Vancouver Island, about 17 km (10 mi) southwest of Victoria, British Columbia. History The lighthouse was built between 1859 and 1860 by the crew of HMS Topaze and outside labourers under a contract awarded to John Morris by the British Government. It was illuminated on 26 December 1860, six weeks after the smaller Fisgard Island lighthouse built at the entrance to Esquimalt Harbour in Colwood. In 2010, both lighthouses celebrated their sesquicentennial. It has a 24.4 m (80 feet) cylindrical tower with black and white bands, and flashes a white light every 10 seconds. Its foghorn sounds three blasts at one-minute intervals. The lighthouse has been automated since 1997 at which time Pearson College UWC took over the management of the station and the surrounding Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. Restoration of the interior and exterior of the historic light tower was carried out in 2009. It remains owned by the Canadian Coast Guard but the college leases the station and has established an endowment fund to maintain it. Oceanographic research The Race Rocks Light is one of 12 lighthouses part of the British Columbia Shore Station Oceanographic Program, collecting coastal water temperature and salinity measurements every day since 1921.

Duncan Dam

Duncan Dam is a dam spanning the Duncan River in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Duncan Dam was the first dam built to satisfy the Columbia River Treaty, initiated after the 1948 flood along the lower Columbia, which proved fatal at Vanport City, Oregon and other locations. Construction began in 1965, and was completed in 1967. It is an earthfill dam with no power generation facilities. It was built as a storage facility, controlling the flow of water from the Duncan River into the Kootenay Lake reservoir. The reservoir's storage is over 50% greater than Kootenay Lake. The reservoir is usually filled by August. The Duncan river drainage basin is 2,400 square kilometers. The dam regulates 10% of the water in the Kootenay River basin. Duncan Dam and Libby Dam together ensure operational water levels for the Kootenay Canal and Corra Linn Dam projects. Duncan Dam is owned and operated by BC Hydro. References "Duncan Dam".

Keenleyside Dam

Hugh Keenleyside Dam (formerly known as the High Arrow Dam) is a flood control dam spanning the Columbia River, 12 km (6.5 miles) upstream of the city of Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada. Dam The dam is at the outflow of what was the upper and lower Arrow Lakes; today the two lakes are joined forming one long reservoir extending 232 km (144 mi) north to Revelstoke Dam, and contains 8.76 km3 (7.1 MAF) of reservoir volume. The dam is operated by BC Hydro. The 853.4 m (2,800 ft) long earth fill and concrete dam was built as part of fulfilling Canada's obligations under the Columbia River Treaty, along with the Duncan Dam, both were built to prevent flooding and control the flow of water in the Columbia River for downstream hydroelectric dams. It was commissioned on October 10, 1968, six months ahead of schedule. Immediately downstream of the dam a 185 megawatt (MW) hydroelectric powerhouse, the Arrow Lakes Generating Station, began construction in 1999 and was completed in 2002. The station is owned by the Columbia Power Corporation. Lower Arrow Lake was raised 12 metres (40 feet) above the natural levels, resulting in several towns being dismantled and relocated before their sites were flooded, including Burton. Arrowhead, British Columbia is another ghost town, now submerged. The dam was named after Hugh Llewellyn Keenleyside, the Canadian ambassador to Mexico, 1944–1947. Hugh Keenleyside served as the chairman of the British Columbia Power Commission and co-chairman at the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority from 1962 to 1969. The Arrow Lakes reservoir is described by BC Hydro as a "great waterway for boating", despite the effect that the 20 m (66 ft) difference between high and low water has on docks and ramps. The dam is equipped with a navigation lock - the only such lock west of Manitoba - which is available at no charge to boaters. However, commercial traffic and floating logs have priority over leisure craft.

ГЕС Арроу-Лейк

ГЕС Арроу-Лейк — гідроелектростанція на південному заході Канади у провінції Британська Колумбія. Знаходячись між ГЕС Ревелсток (вище за течією) та ГЕС Гранд-Кулі (США), входить до складу каскаду на річці Колумбія, яка починається у Канаді та має устя на узбережжі Тихого океану на межі штатів Вашингтон та Орегон. У 1967 році річку після природного озера Ловер-Арроу-Лейк перекрили бетонною греблею Hugh Keenleyside висотою 58 метрів та довжиною 869 метрів. Вона утворила витягнуте по долині на 240 км водосховище з площею поверхні 527 км2 (площа поглинутих природних озер — включаючи також Аппер-Арроу-Лейк — становила 393 км2) та корисним об'ємом 8,8 млрд м3, що забезпечується коливанням рівня між позначками 420 та 441 метр НРМ. Гребля тривалий час не була безпосередньо залучена до виробітку електроенергії, допоки у 2002 році тут не облаштували машинний зал. Хоча останній розташований поруч із греблею, ресурс для нього відбирається зі сховища дещо вище та подається по лівобережжю за допомогою каналу завдовжки 1,4 км. Основне обладнання станції становлять дві турбіни типу Каплан потужністю по 92,5 МВт, які при напорі у 24 метри повинні гарантувати виробництво 772 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Проект гідроелектростанції реалізували на паритетних засадах Columbia Power Corporation та Columbia Basin Trust. Примітки
Avey Field State Airport

Avey Field State Airport (FAA LID: 69S) is a public use airport located on the Canada–US border at Laurier, in Ferry County, Washington, United States. It is privately owned and operated. Also known as Avey Field State/Laurier Airport, it is one of five airports that straddle the Canada–US border. The others are Whetstone International Airport, Coutts/Ross International Airport, International Peace Garden Airport, and Coronach/Scobey Border Station Airport. The airport is shared by the State of Washington and the Province of British Columbia. Both U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Canada Border Services Agency have offices located nearby on U.S. Route 395 and British Columbia Highway 395 adjacent to the parking area. The airport was managed by the Washington State Department of Transportation (Aviation Division) until August 2012, when management transferred to its private owners. Laurier consists of the customs office and a post office. Little remains to indicate the thriving mining community of the 1890s. The nearest motels and recreational sites are located in Canada at a distance of 4 miles (6.4 km). The Canadian recreational community of Christina Lake is 6.5 km (4.0 mi) north along Highway 395 and the Crowsnest Highway/Highway 3, while Orient, Washington, is approximately 10 mi (16 km) south along U.S. Route 395. History The airport was constructed in 1962 as an emergency landing facility and was dedicated the following year by Senator Henry M. Jackson. Its sole runway extends 500 feet (150 m) into Canada. Facilities and aircraft The unattended airport is at an elevation of 1,655 ft (504 m) above mean sea level and covers 10 acres (4.0 ha). The gravel runway 17–35 measures 1,975 by 40 feet (602 x 12 m). It is marked with retro-reflective devices, but both shoulders are soft and rough. Mountains and hills surround the airport and there are trees on both approaches. An overflight to verify field conditions and to rule out obstructions (such as pedestrians, vehicles or animals) is recommended. The field is usually open from June 1 to October 1. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006, the airport had 800 general aviation aircraft operations, an average of 66 per month.
