Following a severe Giant Pine Scale infestation the Hope Valley Reservoir Reserve is set for a major revegetation effort with native plants and a new public walking trail The SA Government has unveiled plans to revitalise the Hope Valley Reservoir Reserve after an infestation of Giant Pine Scale (GPS) resulted in the removal of approximately 500 pine trees Minister for Housing and Urban Development have announced a comprehensive revegetation strategy for the area The affected trees at the reserve have already been cut down and mulched with the mulch being treated with disinfectant and stockpiled at the site to curb further spread of GPS This disease poses significant threats to forestry leading to dieback of branches and eventual tree death Steps are being taken to ensure the disease does not pose a risk to local communities or the water quality in the reservoir the government plans to replace the pine trees with native vegetation aligning with SA Water’s broader land management strategy The project will not just focus on revegetation but will also enhance community amenities Despite the location’s current restriction from public access due to safety concerns plans include the development of a new walking trail This initiative will proceed following a mandatory 12-month quarantine period Construction of the trail and planting activities are scheduled to commence between mid and late 2025 The specifics of this trail will soon be open for public consultation and will be funded under the Open Space Grant Program Clare Scriven said “It is vital that we protect important South Australian Industries such as sustainable forestry which unfortunately can be badly affected by Giant Pine Scale “I look forward to seeing the revegetation of the area with trees that are not susceptible to GPS in the future.” Olivia Savvas addressed the local community’s disappointment over the destruction caused by GPS but reassured residents of the government’s commitment to restoring the area “I am pleased to reassure our community that our government will be replanting at the reserve when appropriate to do so,” said Savvas She also mentioned that she had sought community feedback and advocated for an extension of the walking trail to be incorporated in the restoration project The GPS threat has already wreaked havoc in Victoria impacting thousands of pine trees and posing a major threat to the region’s AUD 1.4 billion forest industry PIRSA officials continue thorough inspections of both private and public pine trees in the surrounding areas to prevent further spread Over 100 South Australian wine producers are showcasing their best to international importers this..

In an interview with Soaps.com in February 2024 When Calls the Heart executive producer Brian Bird confirmed that he plans for the show to continue even if Elizabeth is no longer a part of it “I do,” Bird told Soaps.com when asked if he could see a world where When Calls the Heart could exist without Elizabeth “Not that I would ever want to have to do that or that any of us would ever want to have to do that We do think [Erin Krakow] is the absolute source of everything on When Calls the Heart and we love her We hope we don’t wear her out and tire her of this whole thing She could be there forever as far as I’m concerned.” Bird also maintained that When Calls the Heart could continue regardless of who leaves or stays because “the biggest star of the show is the community.” “People have fallen in love with the community and then they have these focal points with specific characters that they’re deeply in love with And I do believe that the show could continue if we had to by morphing Bird cited Daniel Lissing’s exit as Jack Thornton in Season 5 as an example of how When Calls the Heart moved on without one of its original leads “Daniel Lissing wanted to move on after Season 5 We want you to pursue all the dreams of your heart,’” Bird said we would never hold anybody back if they felt like there were other things they wanted to do and needed to do.” He also added that if any of the younger actors “wanted to go off to college” in real life they would always be welcome back to When Calls the Heart But I do think there’s a life beyond —it’s bigger than any of the individual characters for the show,” he said and Allie aren’t the only characters who seemingly left When Calls the Heart in the Season 12 finale who’s been played by Vienna Leacock since Season 8 also seemed to have exited the series in the Season 12 finale which sees her graduate from Hope Valley’s secondary school and go to college “It’s a poem about everything I’ll miss because I’m going to miss you A lot,” Allie tells Angela as she gives her a poem as a going-away gift during her graduation party “You’ll come visit?” Angela asks her “You’ll write me and tell me everything once a week?” Angela replies See the When Calls the Heart cast then vs. now in the gallery below The stars from the Hallmark drama tease what’s to come When Calls the Heart Season 12 hit the halfway point A dark twist is coming for the residents of Hope Valley “We have been playing these characters for many years now and to get to see them in such a different light was really enjoyable and hopefully enjoyable for the fans as well,” Krakow said The dream sequences offered their characters a “really unique opportunity” to team up Krakow teased that the dreams had “lots of fun Easter eggs” that hint toward the start of their friendship Nathan takes care of Elizabeth while she is sick This added a new layer to their blossoming relationship McGarry talked about how it “moves their relationship along into a great place without having to be so romantic.” The episode ends with Nathan catching Elizabeth’s cold Not everything is rainbows and butterflies this season Krakow and McGarry teased a “big challenge” that’s headed for the new couple That’s the same for the residents of Hope Valley Something big happens that “shatters their world” and “shatters the entire community.” McGarry calls the moment “intense.” READ THIS: Does Hallmark plan to shake things up for WCTH Season 12? By the season finale, Elizabeth and Nathan will address the next stage of their relationship. “There’s a definite decision that is made that alters the course of their future,” McGarry eased. Nathan has taken a prominent role this season. He has gone undercover to investigate the famous double-headed coin. But their relationship isn’t all serious. Krakow noted the couple will embark on “a really fun adventure where the undercover thing comes back in.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Swooon (@swooondotcom) There’s also much more dancing as it is set in the Roaring Twenties That will continue into the remainder of the season What do you think will shake up Hope Valley New episodes of When Calls the Heart Season 12 air on Sundays at 9 p.m EST on the Hallmark Channel and stream 72 hours later on Hallmark+ A new character is stirring things up on WHEN CALLS THE HEART Miranda MacDougall brought new personality Edie Martell to Hope Valley during Episode 2 of Season 12 “Edie is a lawyer,” MacDougall told The Edify Show of her character “She has come to Hope Valley because she’s inherited her late uncle’s ranch and they have an interesting relationship from the jump.” Horseback riding plays a big part in Edie’s life as she explores the property she inherited MacDougall has experience with the animals “I spent a lot of time around horses when I was in high school and then kind of on and off I’ve always loved horses and loved riding when I could READ MORE: WHEN CALLS THE HEART 12.1 REVIEW Soaps speculated that Edie might be Lucas’ new love interest after breaking up with Elizabeth Thornton in Season 10 “They have vested interests in two very different places when they begin,” MacDougall explained She doesn’t have much of a connection to Hope Valley when she first kind of enters the scene given that she’s inherited a ranch in a neighboring town I think that it lays a really nice groundwork for a complex relationship going forward.” Season 12 of WHEN CALLS THE HEART premiered on Jan and Edie and Lucas’ relationship isn’t the only one whose future leaves a question mark for viewers Some sort of resolution to Nathan and Elizabeth’s love story seems likely “As fans may remember, Nathan and Elizabeth had an on-and-off rapport ever since the former first appeared in season 6,” Good Housekeeping reminded fans “Although Elizabeth was a widow after losing her husband Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing) and had broken off an engagement to Lucas in season 10 she and Nathan finally decided to give things a go in the season 11 finale.” READ MORE: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ELIZABETH AND NATHAN IN WCTH SEASON 12? We are only able to make a difference because of your generous support When Calls the Heart Season 12 “Mom’s the Word” sees the return of someone who has certainly been missed around Hope Valley: Fiona Miller (Kayla Wallace) returns to town to the delight of everyone she meets up with and she even manages to settle a dispute between Lee (Kavan Smith) and Lucas (Chris McNally) But is Fionna back for good on When Calls the Heart The episode was either a setup for her full-time return — or her forever swan song has been working with her sisters and other Suffragettes in Nashville since her character departed the show in Season 11 And though she tells Faith (Andrea Brooks) and Mei (Amanda Wong) that her intention isn’t to return to Hope Valley full-time part of the episode feels like she’s trying to convince herself this is what she wants More: See the When Calls the Heart cast’s children in real life She even meddles enough to end up pushing pastor Joseph (Viv Leacock) and Mike (Ben Rosenbaum) to do something about the fight between Lee and Lucas But her plan right now seems set: She’s going to head back to San Francisco telling her friends that there’s a fella who’s asked a couple of times but she tells Faith and Mei that he is a good man and marrying him will allow her to be in San Francisco “I want to be somewhere where I can make a difference,” she says The Suffragette movement is indeed making a difference But Fiona seems to ignore the fact that everyone can make a difference in their own way and that she doesn’t have to conform to someone else’s expectations of what her life should be to do that her spending more time back on When Calls the Heart isn’t at all surprising More: Meet the When Calls the Heart cast’s real-life partners Earlier this year Wallace had told Soaps.com: “I’ve never closed that door My husband is still very much on that show.”C She continued and I hope it’s never a goodbye.” And that pretty much came true in the episode as Fiona seemed to fit right in with the rest of the cast and felt like she was as much part of Hope Valley as she has ever been Of course, with Wallace playing Rebecca Falcone on Landman — a show expected to be renewed for Season 2 — it seems unlikely that Fiona could be returning to When Calls the Heart full-time we don’t really know what’s next for her because one thing also seems certain: What Fiona’s planning to do isn’t really the ending she envisioned for herself much less the ending fans envisioned for her See the gallery below for where other former When Calls the Heart stars are now.  Your Ads Privacy ChoicesIMDb fans soon realized that Oliver may be in town to do more than just train to be a mountie He may also be looking for his long-lost relative When Calls the Heart seemed to confirm the mystery in the logline for Season 12 “All That Glitters,” which states that Nathan and his girlfriend will “uncover Oliver’s secret.” When Calls the Heart hinted that the mystery will revolve around Oliver’s family in the Season 12 premiere “The Mountie Way,” in which Oliver — who is originally from Jameson — revealed to Nathan that he wasn’t close with his family as his father died a few years ago while his mother moved to the East Coast “I’m sure your mother is very proud of you,” Nathan told Oliver More: Meet the When Calls the Heart cast’s real-life partners The main theory is that Oliver is related to Superior Officer Andrew Hargraves, Nathan’s Mountie Superintendent who was introduced in Season 8 and was the one who assigned Oliver to Nathan as his trainee in the Season 12 premiere. “My guess is that Oliver is related to Hargraves(maybe his nephew?)” a user commented on a YouTube promo of Season 12 More: Where former When Calls the Heart cast members are now Hargraves explained that Oliver was originally sent to him to be trained but that he passed the cadet to Nathan because he was at the bottom of his class and didn’t see much potential in him the constable soon learned that Oliver was more determined and hard-working than he let on leading Nathan to suspect that there was more to his story than he was letting on One theory we’re ruling out is that Oliver is related to Nathan whose daughter has had a flirtmance with Oliver since he arrived in town so it would be weird for Allie and Oliver to be related More: See the When Calls the Heart cast’s children in real life it’s clear that he’s developed a relationship with Nathan as a father figure to him which is seen in the final moments of Season 12 “You Get What You Give,” when Nathan invites Oliver to a family dinner with him The episode ends with Elizabeth and Nathan watching Oliver play with his family as Elizabeth asks Nathan “Do you think Oliver arrived at your doorstep for a reason?” Nathan responds “Maybe,” to which Elizabeth replies “He’s lucky to have you.” See the When Calls the Heart cast then vs now in the gallery below.  There have been a lot of questions about the future of Erin Krakow on When Calls the Heart, particularly considering how the show’s Season 12 ended. The cliffhanger ending sees Elizabeth, Nathan(Kevin McGarry) and little Jack seemingly leaving Hope Valley behind for good and heading for Cape Fullerton as Elizabeth believes that’s what’s best for little Jack But is Erin Krakow leaving When Calls the Heart Cape Fullerton isn’t Elizabeth’s choice because she suddenly fell in love with the town; after all it’s all about little Jack’s health it’s all about the fact that the town has a little insulin lab which will allow her son to get the care he needs This is especially important after earlier in the episode Elizabeth runs into an issue when his insulin injections aren’t properly refrigerated during transit Elizabeth can’t run the risk of that happening again She needs to do what’s best for her son Nathan’s decision is a surprise to Elizabeth and a very big gesture for a relationship that has felt very steady for a while but that is still finding its way Elizabeth isn’t asking Nathan for anything to move forward together with her as a family If the answer to her leaving weren’t already a very clear no A post shared by When Calls The Heart (@wcth_tv) The decision also means that once we return for Season 13, and the matter of coming back to Hope Valley is resolved, their relationship will have solidified a lot. Enough to be thinking of wedding bells If a man moves his entire life to another town for you That’s the definition of for better or worse But as to Elizabeth, Nathan, Allie, and little Jack leaving, that’s probably not in the cards. Proof of that is that it was star and executive producer Erin Krakow herself who announced that the show would indeed return for a Season 13 When Calls the Heart is returning for season 13 We can’t wait to get back to Hope Valley to tell more of the stories you love More: Hallmark actors’ net worths ranked Notice the ‘we’ in there.

hunting charges, according to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management. but while walking the rest of the property two more sets of traps were discovered one of which had caught a deer that had died as a result," the DEM said in a Facebook post The dog's owner and another man heard the dog "yelping" at about 11: 30 on the night of Nov They discovered more snares the next day and contacted the DEM environmental police officers tracked down the man who they say set the snares The suspected poacher told the police he'd caught another buck a few weeks earlier The suspected poacher told environmental police officers he'd set the traps on the property off John Potter Road in West Greenwich to help the property owner a co-worker who had complained about deer eating plants in his garden The police relied on Mandarin interpreters and interpreting tools to communicate with the suspect The property owner told the police he let the Hope Valley man trap deer on his property but didn't know the suspected poacher was doing anything illegal One snare was found on somebody else's property The DEM’s division of law enforcement "takes poaching very seriously," the agency said in the Facebook post "Hunting licenses and permit fees are vital for funding wildlife restoration efforts Poaching depletes our state’s natural resources and steals opportunities from hunters who follow regulations." To prevent poaching and enforce hunting laws the DEM's environmental police officers make regular patrols and "know what to look for," according to Michael Schipritt deputy chief of the DEM's division of law enforcement Environmental police officers also receive tips from other hunters or members of the public "Hunting violators are a little harder to find than fishing violators," Schipritt said Fishermen are easy to spot along the shore or on the water while hunters work deep in the woods wearing camouflage "Hunters are trying not to be seen," he said Environmental police officers also found and seized evidence that the suspected poacher was using bait to attract deer Harold Guise that he bought the snares in China and learned how to trap by watching videos on the Internet The officers believe the 120-pound buck found in the trap died from exhaustion "It did not have any apparent bullet holes and there was no blood in the area," he wrote The suspect was charged with 11 counts of violating a law that prohibits using a trap He was also charged with hunting without a license and deer hunting without landowner permission The DEM says its officers are "on high alert for poaching activity as the muzzleloader deer season continues."

a history together) While it’s unknown if she'll appear on additional episodes Gilbert expressed interest in returning and further exploring the dynamics between Georgie and Bill: I would love to see what happens with Bill and Georgie going forward because it is left as a romantic cliffhanger — will-they I also think it's really great to portray the beginning of a romantic relationship with two people our age Just because you're over 60 doesn't mean you're dead It’s intriguing to know that Bill and Georgie will have some sort of history together so there could be an interesting backstory there that could provide some drama Bill has seen a handful of romances across the show’s run at this point it would be fun to dig deeper into his past to see what happened and whether the pair are still carrying a torch for each other It's encouraging that Gilbert is also interested in diving in to that relationship I'm curious as to what will play out for Georgie as well as Bill over the two episodes it’s not unusual for a brief storyline to turn into something more on a show fans are just going to have to wait and see what lies ahead for the two aforementioned characters on the beloved series Elizabeth and Nathan finally kissed at the end of Season 11 and have been enjoying their newfound relationship this season but it wouldn’t be surprising if it came with more complications

the new Hope Valley site Ground has been broken in Hope Valley by Scania Australia ahead of the construction of its 10th company-owned workshop and new warehouse The new sales and service outlet aims to be open for business in 2025 capitalising on the increasing sales of Scania trucks and marine and industrial engines in Western Australia Scania set a new benchmark for the brand having sold 1383 vehicles Scania Australia Managing Director was present yesterday to turn the first sod at what will become Scania Hope Valley “We continue to grow our business in Western Australia We saw the need for additional company-owned sales and service capacity “The location of the new Hope Valley facility brings us closer to customers in the fast-growing southern Perth metropolitan area.” In addition to a new sales and service facility Hope Valley will be the site of an enlarged regional parts warehouse of 3500m² that will service the needs of Scania customers in the West including key mining customers located throughout the state and in the busy Pilbara region The workshop and parts warehouse are well situated on a spacious and prominent 19,000m² block in a new industrial precinct close by major road routes for easy access along with a purpose-built pit that is designed to accept WA-style long vehicles without decoupling Large crossovers and hardstands will provide ease of access for vehicles up to 36.5 metres long Also included in the facility design is a purpose-built office environment with dedicated customer areas and impressive space and amenities for the on-site Scania team Hope Valley will be Scania Australia’s first true EV-ready facility with infrastructure in place to handle today’s BEV charging needs and future capacity for high volume vehicle charging The design of the facility has been undertaken with a focus on sustainability with particular attention paid to how the site will handle waste across both the warehouse and workshop facilities “Scania in WA has been growing quickly over the past decade and we have attracted more customers both for on-road vehicles running intra-state as well as across to the eastern states and also within the State’s burgeoning mining industry,” said Scania Dealer Director for WA “These growing segments have required an expansion of services as well as a good deal of innovation from Scania Australia to meet the needs of its customers in a proactive way,” he said “Over the past decade we have devised onsite or fly-in service teams to ensure our more remote customers enjoy unrivalled uptime from their Scania service vehicles as well as heavy haul trucks and staff transfer buses “Our business development trajectory requires us to ramp up our capacity to service our growing fleet of customer vehicles as well as to prepare for the transition to battery electric and alternative fuel vehicles which will undoubtedly arrive sooner than people think.” Scania opened a new dedicated parts distribution warehouse in Welshpool around two years ago But such has been the growth of the Scania business in Western Australia the facility has already surpassed all expectations “This in part prompted us to further expand the parts capacity at the new Hope Valley site by doubling our available warehousing space to handle today’s needs and support future developments in both ICE and BEV product ranges,” he added The new addition to the Scania network of company-owned workshops and parts warehouses is a logical step to maintain high levels of customer uptime and to further encourage the uptake of repair and maintenance contracts assisted by Scania’s ever-growing array of vehicle productivity and efficiency programs “Scania has been a leader in connected services which allows us to monitor very accurately how vehicles are performing and provide timely scheduled servicing which prevents unplanned downtime,” he said “By increasing the capacity for regular maintenance in our own workshops our customers will have access to the most advanced in-service vehicle management available “We know mining customers demand and depend on predictable uptime This is underscored by the huge cost of unplanned downtime We have configured our service scheduling and parts supplies to take account of this,” Manfred says “For on-road customers the uptime issue is no less important establishing a larger parts warehouse and additional service capacity south of Perth is a logical development for Scania to underpin business growth and continued customer success using our products.” Australian

have asked what will happen to Abigail’s character, and shared their opinion that Hope Valley should be an example of forgiveness and grace,” he told From the Desk in 2019 and Hope Valley will always
