Interview with Nicholas Holthouse, MD & CEO, and Peter Ruse, Head of Corporate Development, Mont Royal ResourcesRecording date: 21st October 2025Mont Royal Resources (ASX:MRZ) is preparing to list on the Australian Securities Exchange on 5th November 2025, following its merger with Commerce Resources. The combined entity brings together North America's largest undeveloped rare earth deposit - the Ashram project in Quebec, Canada—with experienced management and a clear development strategy aimed at capitalizing on unprecedented Western government support for critical minerals.The Ashram deposit contains nearly 200 million tons of resource grading approximately 2% total rare earth oxide (TREO), supported by over 30,000 meters of drilling. What distinguishes the project is its exceptional metallurgical characteristics, with CEO Nicholas Holthouse noting the asset produces concentrates of 35-37% through strong flotation kinetics, a critical factor where many rare earth projects fail to deliver despite promising headline numbers.Holthouse, who brings eight years of rare earth sector experience including roles at Hastings Technology Metals and Meteoric Resources, will relocate to Montreal to oversee development. This on-site leadership approach mirrors the successful strategy employed by Michael O'Keefe at Champion Iron, also operating in Quebec.The company plans to scale operations to 1.2 million tons per year throughput, producing approximately 2,800-3,000 tons of NdPr annually, a "bite-sized chunk" attractive to separators while maintaining scalability for future expansion. The project also contains valuable fluorspar mineralization, contributing 10-15% of projected value and addressing North American supply shortages.The merged entity will comprise approximately 190 million shares at 20 cents per share with $10 million cash, creating an enterprise value of $25 million - compelling value for a resource of this scale. Near-term focus centers on securing government support for road infrastructure connecting the remote deposit to markets, leveraging Canada's recent commitment to allocate 1.5% of GDP specifically to critical mineral projects and associated infrastructure.View Mont Royal Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mont-royal-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Canada's tax problem isn't just slow phones at the CRA—it's a century of bolt-on rules that made filing confusing, subjective, and expensive to administer. A new review found CRA contact centres gave accurate answers only 17% of the time during the 2025 tax season window, echoing long-standing issues flagged by earlier audits (including millions of dropped and blocked calls). This complicated tax system creates unnecessary bureaucracy, wasted money, unpaid taxes, and a subjective audit process that means you can pay more (or less) taxes depending on how well your auditor slept the night before.Hiring more agents won't fix a tax law that's impossible to interpret. Simpler rules will. In this episode, I sketch a path to simpler, fairer, faster taxes. First, a quick history lesson on why we have income taxes, and how they became a Frankenstein's monster of laws that no one can understand. This will show us that the problem is getting worse, and will keep getting worse until we have a major system overhaul. Then I'll get into solutions.I explore proven options from abroad:Pre-populated / return-free filing (pioneered by Denmark; now used in most OECD countries) to slash time, phone calls, and errors—already being piloted in Quebec for simple returns. Flatter, broader bases with minimal carve-outs (think Estonia's ultra-simple system) and NZ's broad-base/low-rate GST—models that raise revenue with less friction. Withholding-as-final for straightforward T4 earners, so most people don't file at all unless their situation is complex—borrowing design cues from the Nordics. Look, nobody wants to talk about tax until they have to. But when they do - and they have to every year - they hate everything about our tax system. It creates unnecessary frustration and anger. Nobody wants to deal with the CRA, and nobody wants to work for the CRA either. Why would they?Many people who don't pay taxes do it out of frustration - they just give up. They're not evil; they're just overwhelmed. Tax filings have become a game.I'm not anti-tax; I'm anti-waste. My companies happily pay millions of dollars in corporate taxes annually. Its employees add another 1M in income taxes to our society, and you can add HST on top of all of it. What I want is less money burned collecting taxes and more money spent on services. If Canadians want better healthcare, safer streets, and a clearer deal with citizens, we should push for tax simplification, not just bigger call centres.Sources:CRA call centres: 17% accuracy (Feb–May 2025); prior audits on access/accuracy.

Juno Winner Aysanabee headlines his first national tour.     Two-time JUNO Award-winning Oji-Cree artist Aysanabee has been riding a powerful wave for over three years, and this fall he's bringing it coast to coast.  Following the release of his June release album Edge Of The Earth on Ishkōdé Records,  Aysanabee kicks off The Way We're Born Tour on November 6 in Edmonton, with more than 20 dates across Alberta, BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, and Ontario.   Tour Dates:  www.aysanabee.com/tour    Aysanabee  once again announced that each show will feature local Indigenous opening artists. "I had the best time featuring and connecting with local Indigenous artists on the first leg of my headlining tour this past winter, and I couldn't wait to do it again for this next run." -     "Every song on this record offers a window into very transitional moments in my life. Over the last few years I was faced with decisions that often took me inwards and made me question the core of my creativity, 'What drives me to make art and how much would I be willing to sacrifice for it?' I mulled over calling the record 'Reflections" 'or 'Patterns,' but landed on Edge of the Earth, because oftentimes these decisions would take me to the edge of an unknown and leave me wondering if I was ready to take a leap of faith. I can't say I was ready , but I can tell you how it felt, and it is in these songs."   My thanks to journalist Lynn Saxburg  for taking all of us through the highs and lows of Aysanabee's early childhood and adult life.

Is the MSR Access 1 really a 4-season tent worthy of your late-season hunts? In this in-depth field review, I take the Access 1 into real winter conditions to see how it performs under snow, wind, and solo backcountry use. From packability and setup to structural stability and breathability, this review breaks down what works—and what doesn't—for hunters who demand reliable gear in unforgiving terrain. Along the way, I cover the full spec sheet (weight, materials, cost), test it in true mountain conditions, and offer insight on whether this tent belongs in your winter hunting kit. Plus, I announce two gear giveaways—the Swarovski ATX 85mm and Sig Sauer Zulu 10 15x binos—so stick around for details on how to enter.

Interview with Paul Ténière, CEO, Lafleur MineralsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lafleur-minerals-cselflr-swanson-expansion-targets-500k1m-oz-resource-in-quebec-gold-camp-8112Recording date: 28th October 2025Lafleur Minerals is positioning itself for gold production within 12 months through the strategic integration of its Swanson deposit with the fully-owned Beacon Gold Mill in Quebec. CEO Paul Ténière outlined the company's comprehensive development plan during a detailed discussion, emphasizing how existing infrastructure and historical data are being leveraged to accelerate the path to production.The company is targeting completion of a preliminary economic assessment by December 2025, though Ténière noted the study approaches prefeasibility-level detail despite its PEA classification for regulatory purposes. "It's kind of misleading in a way to call it a PEA. We're calling it a PEA level only because really we're moving into a PFS level," he explained. The scope includes comprehensive work by ERM consultants covering pit design, metallurgical testing, ore sorting evaluation through SRC in Saskatchewan, and a mineral resource update incorporating twin holes at Swanson.The Beacon Gold Mill, which operated until 18 months ago under previous ownership by Monarch Mining, provides Lafleur with detailed operating cost data rarely available to development-stage companies. A dedicated team of engineers is already mobilized at the site, with initial maintenance and repairs estimated at $2-6 million. The restart strategy includes processing 5,000 tons of existing stockpile to validate equipment performance before Swanson material arrives in early 2026.Swanson's location on an existing mining lease 45-50 kilometers from Beacon significantly streamlines the permitting pathway. The company needs only to submit an updated mine plan and environmental closure plan to Quebec authorities, a process Ténière indicated "can be done in a matter of months" rather than years. The initial development phase envisions an 80,000-100,000 ton bulk sample that represents the first phase of mining, serving to validate metallurgical projections while generating early cash flow.Beyond the initial open-pit scenario, Lafleur has identified multiple expansion pathways including underground resources at Swanson showing higher grades at depth, potential mill expansion to 3,000 tons per day, and custom milling opportunities for regional deposits.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lafleur-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Vroeger was geopolitiek in de beleggingswereld een makkelijke factor. Als beleggers in paniek raakten door een bepaalde dreiging, dan gingen de beurzen naar beneden. Dat waren mooie koopmomenten: de geopolitieke angsten ebden meestal weer weg en de koersen herstelden. Nu is het anders. Nu is het een factor waar beleggers continu rekening mee moeten houden.Een paar recente voorbeelden illustreren deze verschuiving. De Canadese provincie Quebec zond een reclamespot uit met delen van Ronald Reagans speech uit 1987 over importheffingen. De Amerikaanse president Trump noemde het een leugen, stopte per direct de onderhandelingen en verhoogde de tarieven op Canadese importen met 10%. De impact is beperkt, maar het signaal is duidelijk. Een tweede voorbeeld is de zaak Nexperia. De Nederlandse overheid zag dat het chipbedrijf werd leeggezogen door de Chinese eigenaar en stak daar toen een stokje voor. Vervolgens nam China tegenmaatregelen en leverde het geen chips meer aan onder meer de Duitse auto-industrie. Als dit blijft voortduren, krijgt de Duitse economie een klap van naar verwachting een half procent van het bbp. Daarmee zou het land in een recessie komen. Er zijn meer voorbeelden. De Chinese boycot van Amerikaanse sojabonen. De dreiging van China om geen zeldzame aardmetalen meer aan het Westen te leveren. De verplichte verkoop van TikTok. De exportbeperkingen voor ASML-machines richting China. De Amerikaanse dreiging om swaplijnen in te trekken als de Argentijnse president Milei de tussentijdse verkiezingen niet zou winnen. Het beeld is duidelijk: macht telt. China en de VS hebben die macht, op het gebied van defensie en op het gebied van de economie. Andere landen hebben die niet en zijn eigenlijk altijd de gebeten hond. Wat kan Canada inbrengen tegen die hogere tarieven? Wat kunnen wij doen om de Nexperia-ruzie te sussen? Beleggers moeten er rekening mee houden dat de bedrijven waarin ze geld hebben gestoken, gemangeld kunnen worden in het politieke geweld van de grootmachten.Als Europese Unie hebben we die macht niet, net als de rest van de wereld overigens. De conclusie is simpel en pijnlijk. We moeten er in Europa voor zorgen dat we op onze eigen benen kunnen staan. Vooral in de economisch kritische sectoren. Dat kost geld. Zo wil elk land of regio zijn eigen chipindustrie opbouwen. Dat betekent veel capaciteit en dus lagere prijzen, wat leidt tot lagere winsten. Terwijl de productie in China en de rest van het Verre Oosten veel goedkoper is. Ook energie is zo’n cruciale sector. Na het ontkoppelen van de Russische energietoevoer zijn we erg afhankelijk van de VS geworden. In dit geopolitieke geweld moet je ernaar streven dat je je eigen broek op kunt houden. Misschien is het een goed idee voor beleggers om af en toe een spelletje Risk te spelen. Want geopolitiek is een factor om rekening mee te houden. En deze gaat niet meer weg.

The world is stunned, and arms control experts are up in arms, over U.S. President Donald Trump's comments about potentially testing nuclear weapons for the first time in more than three decades. The most jaw-dropping story in this World Series is the Blue Jays' rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage. His former coach tells us what makes him so singular -- and what it's been like to watch him make history. An Illinois police officer is found guilty of killing Sonya Massey -- an unarmed Black woman who'd called police for help. Her father tells us their family is profoundly disappointed was not convicted of first-degree murder.We'll look back thirty years at the day Quebec nearly voted for sovereignty. A columnist tells us what has changed since then - and what divisions still remain. In Quebec, doctors are being encouraged to prescribe visits to the symphony – and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra says it can't wait to fill those ‘scripts'.A British paper quotes a former New York City mayor criticizing Zohran Mamdani - only to find it quoted a Bill de Blasio, but not the Bill de Blasio.As It Happens, the Thursday edition, Radio that presents an exciting double Bill.

What if retirement isn't the end of something — but the beginning of something better - and deeply meaningful? Dr. Susan Reid thought she was ready for her next chapter when she retired early from her career as a university professor. But within weeks, she realized she'd gone from 100% full throttle to zero — and felt adrift. That awakening led her on a powerful journey to re-vision retirement — for herself and for the millions of others who feel they're “not done yet.” In this conversation, Dr. Reid shares the insights from her research and personal experience — about identity, purpose, and how to craft a clear vision for the next phase of life. You'll hear how to move from “what am I leaving?” to “what am I moving toward?” and how meaning, contribution, and joy can fuel a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life after you leave full-time work behind. If you're planning your own next act — or helping someone who is — this episode will change how you think about what comes next. Susan Reid joins us from Halifax. _____________________________ Bio SUSAN REID is an award-winning expert on the topic of vision. Until 2021, Susan was a tenured professor of marketing and entrepreneurship at Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec. As a teacher, researcher, and keynote speaker, she works at the intersection of marketing, innovation, and user-focused design, with an in-depth focus on the topic of vision, particularly for older adults and entrepreneurs. Her book on Entrepreneurial Vision: A guide for charting and implementing the vision process (co-authored with Charles Crawford). Susan is also the co-founder of Domaine Pinnacle, a pioneering Canadian producer of craft ciders and spirits. When she retired at age 57, after years of helping businesses and individuals develop their visions, Susan realized, to her surprise, that she had not set a vision for her own retirement. This led her to develop a workbook (Re-Visioning Retirement) for people just like her. Susan holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Queen's University, an MBA from McGill University, and a Ph.D. from Concordia University's John Molson School of Business. _____________________________________ For More on Susan Reid Re-Visioning Retirement: A Workbook Website ______________________________________ Podcast Conversations You May Like Joyspan – Kerry Burnight, PhD The Power of Reinvention – Joanne Lipman When Will You Flip the Switch? – Dr. Barbara O'Neill Make Your Next Years Your Best Years – Harry Agress, MD ________________________________________ About The Retirement Wisdom Podcast There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the money side of the street.

Last weekend, Quebec passed new legislation that would impose a new contract on doctors, who have been in negotiations with the provincial government since March, 2023. Known as Bill 2, it sets out targets that Quebec doctors must meet in order to achieve the government's health care goals, including access to primary care for all Quebeckers by January, 2027.The catch? If doctors don't meet these targets, they can be penalized by having up to 15 per cent of their pay clawed back.André Picard, Globe health reporter and columnist, is on the show to break down why Bill 2 is drawing controversy, how doctors are responding to it, and what that means for patient care in Quebec.Questions?

It's just a different environment up there. What kind of, uh, repairs have you been working on this year?  Alex Fournier: Uh, really busy. Been some, uh, doing some transfer crack, open window and lighting damage, VGs, installation, polytech, erosion, uh, all that kind of stuff from road access on platform. Um, so we been pretty busy. Yeah. What parts of Canada are you focused on right now? Uh, at the beginning of the season we trying to focus on Quebec 'cause the temperature is getting colder faster. Um, so usually we start with Quebec and then we're making our way up west. So right now our blade season is pretty much done in Quebec, [00:01:00] so now we're focusing in Ontario. Uh, Ontario have way better, uh, temperature right now in Quebec. It might be around 15 to 20 degrees up north. Versus in Ontario that right now it's around 22, 25 degrees Celsius.  Joel Saxum: Celsius being the big thing there. Right. For our, for our US listeners, it's 25 degrees is really cold to us, but very nice to you. Yeah. Thanks. It's pretty cold.  Allen Hall: Yeah. I think for a lot of listeners, they don't realize how short the blade repair season is in Canada. How many days do you really have it? It depends where you are, right? There's some  Alex Fournier: site that, there's still some snow in May. Um, but, uh, if, if, if we're in a. Nice area. It can be from, uh, April, may to September, October, November. You're really pushing it. I think if, if you want to do, uh, blade work in November and que back, you need to have like a 360 platform with the heater and uh, and closed platform. Which we don't have yet,  Joel Saxum: but yet, [00:02:00] yet is an interesting concept there. You say we don't have that platform yet, but that kind of points to the eTech. Uh, I mean, of course. Congratulations. A new, new role over there I think, clue us in on that. What is the new role?  Alex Fournier: So it's general manager, so right now I'm taking care of the whole company, which is either composite or maintenance. Um, I'm doing boat. Um, so if you have any requests either on composite or maintenance and Quebec or candidate, just let me know. But yeah, when I first started I was, uh, director of composite operation and then, uh. Climbing at the ladder to turn on Azure. Now  Joel Saxum: what it makes sense is eTech is, uh, expanding, you know, strategically expanding services. Right? So you guys, uh, of course when we were talking with you and you joined the team there, you had a composite. So we, they just, this is your first big blade season. Sounds like it's gone very well. Um, but the eTech is a company does a lot more than that. You off air, you're clueing us in on some of the really cool things you guys are doing. Some, some stuff we've never actually really dealt with or heard too much of and wind, [00:03:00] but, um. Yeah,

This morning we look into Avraham's decision to make space between him and his family, and Lot and his family. We survey different types of giving someone or some group their space, and how it helps in some situations. This is pithily expressed by Rodney Dangerfield and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. But the second part of this is what must happen when that person is in trouble.

Elias Makos welcomes back Caroline Codsi, Founder & Chief Equity Officer, Women in Governance, and Political analyst Karim Boulos. Quebec Premier François Legault is hopping mad with his Ontario counterpart, Doug Ford. With many doctors in Quebec up in arms over Bill 2 and how it will change the way they work and are paid, Ford took the opportunity to roll out the red carpet for Quebec’s doctors Today marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 referendum. We came close to losing this country - but in the end, the No camp won the referendum with 50.58% of the vote compared to 49.42% for the Yes side. What do you remember most of that time? A sign that we’re headed towards an election? The parties are courting women voters. Despite all indications being there will be a massive cutback in spending in next week’s federal budget, the government announced new money to support women

Elias Makos is joined by Graham Singh, Pastor at St-Jax Church, and Trudie Mason, veteran Newscaster here at CJAD 800. There is a spike in the amount of doctors leaving the province for New Brunswick. Quebec’s Health Minister Christian Dube wrote an opinion letter in the Journal this morning defending the new legislation towards doctors. The province’s food banks say they handled nearly 3.1 million requests for help in March 2025 according to the 2025 Hunger Report released Monday. Ahead of next month’s global climate summit in Brazil, COP30, Bill Gates has dropped a new memo that rattles the consensus of the climate movement.

Mark Brennan,  Founder, CEO, and Director of Cerrado Gold Inc (TSX.V: CERT) (OTCQX: CRDOF), joins me to review their Q3 2025 operational metrics, along with the expansionary exploration program at the producing Minera Don Nicolas gold mine in Argentina.  We also unpack the value proposition and key upcoming development catalysts at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project in Portugal and the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium project in Quebec.   Q3 Operating Highlights   Q3 Production of 13,868 GEO vs 11,437 GEO in Q2 2025 (+21%) Heap leach production growing as expanded crushing capacity and improved recoveries result in record quarterly production of 10,465 GEO (+33% vs Q2) Underground development at Paloma is advancing, with ramp well advanced and three access portals targeted to reach production stopes in Q4 CIL plant starting to receive ore from underground development, production expected to ramp up in Q4/2025 as higher grade underground material supplants lower grade feed in the mill Expanded crushing capacity results in substantial additional tonnage to the leach pad and record quarterly production Underground Development to access production stopes in Q4 supporting increase in mill head grade and production 2025 Production Guidance revised to 50,000 to 55,000 GEO Exploration Program expanded with an additional 50,000m planned for 2026 (in addition to the existing ~15,000m program in 2025)   Mark and I review their Minera Don Nicolas producing gold project in Argentina, and the record heap leach gold equivalent ounce production for the quarter. There is expanded and improved crushing capacity at the heap leach, from the newly installed secondary crusher, and this will continue to be impactful on a move-forward basis into Q4 and beyond, with the quantity of ore being placed on the pad having increased, and with it helping to reduce down unit costs in the latter part of H2 2025.   The production profile will also keep growing with the underground mining having now commenced.  With higher gold prices, the CIL plant continued to process lower-grade stockpiles in Q3/25, but new high-grade material from the underground mining operations has started to be blended with that moving forward, and this will increase the average grade throughput at the mill.   Another area of future growth will be the ongoing drill program of about 15,000 meters this year and another 50,000 meters slated for next year (once all 4 drill rigs are in place). It will be a combination of  underground exploration work targeting new areas of mineralization and growing the mine life, in addition to surface drilling that is exploring around the open pit resources, as well as identifying additional satellite open-pits at surface.    Next we unpacked the growing value proposition at the Lagoa Salgada VMS Project  in Portugal, with a Post-tax NPV of US$147 million and a 39% IRR in the current Feasibility Study. This Project adds both substantial precious metals resources along with critical minerals exposure (42 % Gold & Silver, 24% zinc, 14% copper, and 5% tin) to the future production profile.  We also discuss the various work streams leading to optimized Feasibility Study in Q4, a construction decision by Q1 2026.  Construction is targeted for H2 of 2026, with first production slated for early 2028.   We wrap up discussing the underappreciated value and ongoing derisking work that is moving towards a Bankable Feasibility Study in Q1 of 2026 at the Mont Sorcier Iron-Vanadium in Quebec. Recent metallurgical test work, has reaffirmed the potential to produce high-grade and high-purity iron concentrate grading in excess of 67% iron with silica and alumina content below 2.3%.     If you have questions for Mark regarding Cerrado Gold, then please email those to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Cerrado Gold at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.       For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/   Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Buenas tardes, amigos, and happy Hallo-Ween, my good friends. It took us way, way too long to get the bright idea to devote our annual All Hallow's Eve episode to the Brothers Ween, but now that we have, it seems appropriate to discuss 1994's Chocolate and Cheese, an album where Deaner and Gener try on a whole bunch of different musical costumes. While C&C isn't their major-label debut, it's the first album they produced in a major-label fashion, and the songs cover a lot of stylistic ground, including Tom Jones Vegas rockabilly lounge, kaleidoscopic Prince psychedelia, a sweeping Morricone murder ballad, smooth Philly soul, and a few songs that completely defy categorization. While this album is often ranked behind powerhouse Ween classics like The Mollusk and Quebec, many of its songs have gone on to become live standards, and there's an argument to be made that it formed the bedrock of the band's musical legacy. So join John, Mike, Phil, and Rich as they make a return pilgrimage to the shrine of the mighty Boognish, and remember: don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free.Cohosts: Complete show notes: https://discordpod.com/listen/167-ween-chocolate-and-cheese-1995Discord & Rhyme's merch store: http://tee.pub/lic/discordpodSupport the podcast! https://www.patreon.com/discordpod

There's one week to go before Prime Minister Mark Carney's government tables the budget. We still don't know if it will pass a vote in the House of Commons. Failing to do so would mean another election. Should Pierre Poilievre welcome a second campaign in 2025, or should he and his Conservatives prefer to put that contest off to another day? And what about the Bloc Québécois and the New Democrats?This week on The Numbers, we rate how much each party should want to head back to the polls this fall. We also take a look at a new poll that suggests the B.C. Conservatives are doing far better among voters than is their leader, John Rustad, plus we chat about the end of the fixed election date law in Ontario. Finally, Philippe has a Quiz to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Quebec referendum.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

Today's environmental recording captures the sound of an area within Forest Park that few people gave much thought to, until a headline grabbed their attention 21 years ago.In 2004, a pair of off-trail endurance runners came across a father and daughter living in a dugout shelter in Portland's 5200 acre Forest Park. They had been living there for four years.Upon discovery, police were dispatched for a wellness check. Eventually one officer helped the two resettle on a horse farm where the father, Frank, worked and they attended the local church. They left the farm after about a month, never to be heard from again. Their story inspired Peter Rock's 2009 fictionalized novel My Abandonment, which was adapted into the acclaimed 2018 film Leave No Trace.When first discovered, Frank was 53 and Ruth was 12. Their makeshift home was constructed on the side of a steep hill, not far from where this recording was made. Inside the shelter were encyclopedias, a bible, toys, a doll, sleeping bags. Nearby was a planted vegetable garden and a water catchment structure.“But how could a 53 year old father with a 12 year old daughter survive in this thick, dense forest for four years?” asks a reporter as he bushwhacks down a brushy hillside in a 2004 segment for KATU news. “Well, police say Frank's a smart guy, college-educated. He's also an ex-marine who served two tours in Vietnam.”The reporter concludes, “So why would a father with no job, but a $400 a month disability check, hide in the forest? Those that saw them on their weekly walks out of the woods to church, the library and to buy food say it was a father's fear society might separate him from the one he loves.” Amateur mystery detectives on Reddit wanted to know more. Based on the few details in the 2004 news stories, they placed the father, Frank Trecarten, in articles 20 years prior in 1984, describing a manhunt for a mountain man or “survivalist”, in Quebec and New Hampshire after allegations of desecrating an church altar and attempted arson. Then in 2005, log books for Appalachian Trail hikers signed by “Mountain Man” and “Miss Mountain Dew”—believed to be trail names for Frank and Ruth—were discovered. A photo corroborates the placement with the identifying note: Frank “Trefcarten”. Most recently, in 2013, the name Frank Treecarten reappears in articles outlining a flare gun shooting assault in Concord, New Hampshire, where it appears Frank was charged with two felonies and held on $8,000 bail. The verdict in the case is unknown.These details paint the story in a more acute light, potentially revealing a decades-long pattern of living on the fringes, possibly exacerbated by PTSD.I re-watched Leave No Trace and listened to the My Abandonment audiobook. Although the movie is adapted from the book, they diverge significantly, especially approaching their conclusions. The book is decidedly more tragic, while the movie hits a more optimistic note. The optimist in me wants the film to be closer to the truth. One can't help but wonder about Ruth, who would be in her mid 30's now, and Frank, now in his mid 70‘s. If amateur investigators are to be believed, Ruth is now married and living in Oregon. Another thing that I noticed and appreciated in the film was how sparse the score was. It was barely there. It inspired me to further pare down my own future scores, letting the soundscape “take solos”. Additionally, a lot of films get the wildlife sounds wrong, but this was better than most. Varied Thrush, and Northern Pygmy Owl stood out to my ear. I don't remember hearing Pacific Wren though; a true soundmark of Forest Park. That late May morning I sat in the middle of the Maple Trail above Saltzman Creek. No one passed by. The trail had been closed for some time following bridge damage. Portions of steel decking were broken off and the railing remained squashed from the impact of a fallen tree. While there, I made an oil pastel drawing while soaking up the tranquil setting. I also made a half-hearted attempt to scout around looking some clue of a former habitation; a whisper trail, a depression. Then it occurred to me that I really didn't know precisely where to look. That ridge or this ridge? It seemed pointless, really. Perhaps the reason that this story still looms so large in imaginations is because it makes us confront how estranged we truly are from the old ways: living light in the woods, not too far removed from hunting and gathering. We don't really hear these kind of narratives in the USA anymore. We are aghast to discover that a father and daughter did so, undetected, for four years in a city nature park. It defied expectation. I wonder what this says about us; about the velocity and trajectory of civilization? I don't have any conclusions of my own to offer. All I know is a young person, I spent nights discretely camped at a few dubious spots while cycling across the USA. You definitely sleep lighter. I can't imagine that kind of background anxiety over the long term.My score attempts to hold these two things in tension: the wonder and a the discomfort of living outdoors, close to the land, peering into its wildness.Thanks for listening and reading.
