Alex Duckworth qualified for the semifinals of last week’s Olympic women’s halfpipe snowboard event in Sochi, Rus-sia.

Duckworth reaches Olympic semi’sSnowboarder coming home next week

By STACEY [email protected]

KINGSBURG — Following a year in which her Olym-pic dreams hung in the balance at virtually every com-petition, when Alex Duckworth reached the pinnacle of her sport in Sochi last week, she decided to relax and soak in every moment of what could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“The day before the event I had a little moment to

myself, and that’s what I was thinking, that I wanted to make this as fun as possible and have that be my memory, that this was a real fun day,” said the 26 year old in a phone interview from Russia.

“I didn’t want to be so focused on the outcome any-more, but just enjoy it. I was feeling the support from all the Nova Scotians at home, so it was fun.”

Firefighterdies responding

to callNew Germany

department mourns loss of ‘well-liked’ engineer

By LISA [email protected]

NEW GERMANY — A volunteer firefighter died Feb-ruary 14 when his truck left the road in New Germany while he was responding to a call.

Ritchie Jodrey was 60. The Pinehurst resident had been a member of the New Germany volunteer fire de-partment for more than 22 years.

“He was one of those fellows that you could ask him for any type of help and he was right there willing to do whatever he could do, “ Chief Blair Lantz said.

“He was really liked by everyone in the department. I never heard a bad word or any problem with any of the members with Ritchie. He was that well-liked.”

The crash happened shortly after 4 a.m. on Highway 10 in front of Guppy’s Place Family Restaurant. RCMP Cst. Ted Munro said Mr. Jodrey was northbound when his pickup crossed the road and went into a deep ditch.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.The road was reduced to one lane for several hours,

the officer said, while police investigated and the truck was removed from the scene.

Firefighters were responding to a call about a flooded basement at the time of the crash.

Chief Lantz said Mr. Jodrey was a good firefighter. He was an engineer who drove trucks and operated pumps.

“He could drive and operate just about any truck that we had in the department,” the chief said.

His department is trying to cope with the loss.“It’s pretty devastating for everyone here in the com-

munity,” the chief said. “We’re doing a lot of talking amongst each other and I think it’s helping, but there’s still a lot of grief.”

Firefighters are being offered critical incident stress debriefing.

“Unfortunately, we’ve had to deal with a lot of these critical incidents in our department because we’ve had so many of these tragic events,” Chief Lantz said.

He wonders how many people in the community un-derstand that the fire service is entirely volunteer.

Driver not seriously hurt inChester Grant fuel truck crash

By KEITH [email protected]

CHESTER GRANT — Slippery conditions on a gravel road, described by law enforcement as “a complete sheet of ice,” factored in an Irving home heating delivery truck flipping onto its side.

The adult male behind the wheel — the only person in the truck — wasn’t seriously hurt. First responders were sum-moned to the Chester Grant Road around 9:45 a.m. February 14 and found the vehicle in a ditch between the intersections of Stillwater Drive and Corkum Lake Drive.

Police said the truck was heading in the direction toward the Highway 12 intersection when the incident occurred.

His vehicle “was going up the hill and then there were cars sideways at the top so he had to put his brakes on so he wouldn’t hit them,” noted Lunenburg County RCMP Cst. Trevor Bowen at the scene, “but then [the truck] slid back down this hill and then slid sideways … so then [it] tipped.”

The Chester Grant Road “was a complete sheet of ice,” the officer said.

A spokeswoman for Irving Oil indicated the incident was of

no risk to public safety.“We’re currently in the process of transferring the product

into another delivery vehicle, which is expected to take several hours,” Sam Robinson said in an e-mail later on February 14.

Nova Scotia’s Department of Environment said it appears there was little by way of fuel spillage, a statement that seemed to be backed up by Cst. Bowen.

“I talked to the driver and he said there wasn’t much leak-ing at all and he was catching it in a bucket,” the officer said, “but at that point I advised our dispatch to call environment and fire and department of transport …”

Equipment from the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal was seen being used to improve trac-tion on the road.

Meanwhile, drums, buckets and booms were used to help soak up and contain the spill. About two hours into the in-cident, Chester Basin fire chief Doug Rines said “probably about 20 litres” had been sopped up at that point.

A Department of Environment inspector was expected to have a closer look at the truck after it was up-righted.

No charges are anticipated or expected in relation to the case, police said.


COUNTY — The court case of a man convicted of procuring a 16-year-old girl to have sex with a stranger has been delayed until next month.

Twenty-one-year-old Brandyn Clarence Corkum was back in Bridgewater provincial court February 13 when his lawyer requested a pre-sentence report be prepared to outline his cli-ent’s background.

Sentencing was adjourned until March 19.In a decision handed down earlier this month following a

January trial, the Chester Basin man was convicted of procur-ing the girl in the summer of 2012.

Judge Gregory Lenehan concluded Mr. Corkum convinced his “drug buddy” to travel with him to Tantallon and have sex with a man in the front seat of a car. She believed she would receive cash and prescription pills and Mr. Corkum would get crack cocaine.

Mr. Corkum received the crack, but the girl got nothing.Meanwhile, Mr. Corkum remains in custody after he was

arrested earlier this month on six new charges of breaching probation orders and court undertakings.

He’ll be back in court on those allegations Wednesday.

Sentencing put off for manwho procured teen girl

A story in last week’s issue about a missing Lunenburg man incorrectly stated, “Mr. MacIntosh is described as six inches in height, 200 pounds, with light curly brown hair and brown eyes.”

Clearly, the story should have read, “six feet.” We apologize for the error.

Alex Duckworth, front, pictured in Russia with her sister, Anna, father John and mother Anne prior to her first Olympic competition.

However, her day began with a fall at the end of her first halfpipe run.

“Every trick, I was telling myself, ‘five tricks to go, four tricks to go, three tricks to go’ … I was so close and I thought I had it.”

She qualified for the semifinals on her next run after nailing every trick, and was stunned when she turned on her phone and saw she’d been flooded with supportive Tweets.

“It was amazing,” said the Kingsburg native.

“It’s special to be from a small commu-nity like that and yet have everyone get behind you. I’m excited to get back there next week.”

The former Canada Games gold medal-list ultimately placed 11th in the Olympic semifinals.

“I got a little too excited and over-rotated a few of my tricks.”

Meanwhile, she had a little fun track-ing down fellow Nova Scotian Sidney Crosby with some humorous Tweets.

“I met him at the cafeteria. It was a fun way for me to get the rest of the Nova Scotian community to help me out on Twitter,” she laughed.

“Everyone kind of got behind it. That was cool.”

She watched her Canadian teammate play in his game versus Norway that night, and was also planning to attend a number of other events prior to the end of the Games.

“I’m going to take it all in.”The 2007 Nova Scotia female athlete of

the year plans to return home to Kings-burg for about a week after the Olympics before ending her competitive season at the national championships next month.

“I’m sure that the vast majority of the public think we’re paid,” he said. “We’re putting our life on the line every call we attend.”

Mr. Jodrey is survived by his wife, Marilyn, a daughter and a son, five sis-ters, two granddaughters and extended family.

The funeral service was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

While the family requested a sim-ple service, Chief Lantz said several firefighters would be pallbearers, while

others would form an honour guardat the church.

“I’m sure there will be other depart-ments, a few of their members, joining in with us,” the chief said.

Chief Lantz said he and Deputy Chief Peter Bowers have received calls from fire departments across the province since Friday.

“It’s just tremendous support,” he said. “It makes us feel that there are people that we can talk to or ask if we need any type of help — it’s out there.

“We just have to try and get through it the best we can.”

Crown dropstrafficking case

Man still in jail on driving charges


BRIDGEWATER — The Crown has dropped its case against a Bridgewater man accused of trafficking in prescrip-tion medication involving the death of a friend.

Federal prosecutor Jodi Mailman offered no further evidence against 49-year-old Kevin Leroy Wheaton Febru-ary 12 in Bridgewater provincial court.

She told Judge Gregory Lenehan that recent information in a toxicology re-port means “there’s no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.”

Mr. Wheaton had been charged with trafficking in clonazepam after 22-year-old Joshua Ballard died in his apart-ment on October 29, 2011.

At the start of his trial in October, a close friend of Mr. Wheaton’s testified she was present when he put as many as 10 small white pills on an end table and then saw Mr. Ballard place $20 on the same table a few minutes later.

Lisa Croft said she later watched Mr. Ballard crush and snort the pills. He was still sitting in a chair in the living room when she left a short time after that, she testified.

Police and paramedics responded to a 911 call from the address just before midnight. They found Mr. Ballard de-ceased in a bedroom.

A toxicology report indicated he died of a methadone overdose.

Although the trafficking case was dis-missed last week, Mr. Wheaton remains in jail.

He was arrested in Bridgewater on January 1 and charged with failing a breath test and driving while prohib-ited. He was denied bail on those allega-tions February 12.

Mr. Wheaton is also awaiting sentenc-ing on a charge of driving while prohib-ited from July 2009. He was convicted of that crime earlier this month.

He’ll be back in court on all of those charges February 26.

Guilty of insurance fraudMan had his own car

stolen hoping to get cash


COUNTY — A Bridgewater man has learned that trying to defraud an insur-ance company is not the way to solve money woes.

“If you thought you were in financial difficulties before, well you’ve dug a deeper hole now,” Judge Gregory Lene-han told Todd Richard Johnson February 12 in Bridgewater provin-cial court.

Mr. Johnson, 38, pleaded guilty to a sin-gle count of fraud after having someone steal his car in late October.

The vehicle was re-covered in a wooded area in Halifax County. It had been stripped.

Crown attorney Lloyd Tancock told the court Mr. Johnson’s report of the theft to police “raised more questions than it provided answers.”

Officers interviewed a couple of peo-ple connected to Mr. Johnson. A woman told them he told her he’d had his car stolen to claim the insurance money.

Another man told police Mr. Johnson travelled with him to work that day but asked him to tell anyone who asked that he’d taken his own car. Mr. Johnson also told that man that he was having the car stolen.

Defence lawyer Alan Ferrier told the court his client was feeling financial constraints at the time. He’s now still paying for the vehicle he no longer has

so his circumstances are “quite worse as a result of his own behav-iour,” Mr. Ferrier said.

Judge Lenehan point-ed out that Mr. John-son will also likely have difficulty getting insur-ance coverage in the future.

“You have created a real mess for yourself and your family,” the judge said.

He followed a recom-mendation from lawyers in the case, placing Mr. Johnson on probation for a year and ordering him to make a $500 donation to Lunenburg County Crime Stoppers.

He’ll also have to pay a $200 victim fine surcharge.

“If you thought you were in financial difficulties before, well you’ve dug a deeper hole now.”Judge Gregory Lenehan

HMS Bounty sank 110-miles off the North Carolina Coast October 29, 2012. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board determined that a “reckless decision” by Capt. Robin Walbridge to leave port and sail into a well-fore-casted hurricane was the “probable cause” of the tragedy.

Board blames Bounty tragedyon captain’s ‘reckless decision’

By ROBERT [email protected]

LUNENBURG — When news of the sinking of the Bounty first hit Lunenburg the morning of Octo-ber 29, 2012, Capt. Dan Moreland, master of Lunenburg’s globe-trot-ting barque Picton Castle, shook his head.

“I can’t believe Capt. Robin [Walbridge] would head out into this … to save my life,” he said of his fellow tall ship skipper, who took over the helm of the famous replica vessel in 1993.

“This” was hurricane Sandy, a massive, late-season storm that was wreaking havoc in the At-lantic as it moved up the North American coast.

Capt. Moreland had held his vessel, which was supposed to sail from Lunenburg on an extended voyage to the South Pacific Octo-ber 22, in port for 13 days because of the impending storm and con-ditions created by its aftermath.

“We’ve been tied up a week and a half for the storm that wasn’t coming very near to us, and the Bounty headed off right into it,” Capt. Moreland said at the time. “The reason why we didn’t go a week and a half ago is because we had a storm brewing that had all the elements of getting really big and we didn’t know where it was going, so we stayed.”

Capt. Walbridge, however, did not, and it was that error in judgement, “a reckless decision to sail into the well-fore-casted hurricane,” that the U.S. Nation-al Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) concluded to be the “prob-able cause” of the Bounty sinking about 110 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras with the loss of two crew members.

The Bounty’s master dis-appeared in the Atlantic and is presumed to have drowned while 42-year-old crew member Claudene Christian was picked up in the evening but later died.

Three other crew members were seriously injured but mirac-ulously they and the remainder of the 16-member crew were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard relatively unscathed.

In the release of its findings on the tragedy, NTSB recounted

that prior to setting off from New London, Connecticut, some crew members had expressed their con-cerns to the captain that sailing into a severe storm could put all of them and the ship at risk.

“The captain assured the crew that the Bounty could handle the rough seas and that the voyage would be a success,” the report stated. “Just a month earlier, in an interview with a Maine TV station, the captain said that the Bounty ‘chased hurricanes, and by getting close to the eye of the storm, sailors could use hurri-cane winds to their advantage.’”

The report stated the crew was mostly inexperienced and they had struggled for many hours to keep the ship’s engines run-ning and bilge pumps operating, despite some suffering injuries from falls, seasickness and fatigue “from the constant thrashing of 30-foot seas.”

Just prior to her last voyage, Bounty had been in a Maine ship-

yard for maintenance and repairs, “most of which was accomplished by a crew with little experience in such specialized work.

“One of the tasks was to caulk and re-seam a wooden hull, which had known areas of rot, with com-pounds supplied by the captain, including a silicone sealant mar-keted for household use.”

The board said that HMS Boun-ty Organization, LLC, owners of the ship, “did nothing to dissuade the captain from sailing into unknown severe weather condi-tions,” and that “such a lack of effective safety oversight by the vessel organization contributed to the sinking.”

Bounty was built at the Smith and Rhuland Shipyard in Lunen-burg for MGM Studios for the movie “Mutiny on the Bounty” and launched in 1960.

Over the years she had made several visits to her birthplace, the latest in August 2012, less than three months before she sank.

Woman admitsriding in

stolen truckBy LISA BROWN

[email protected]

BRIDGEWATER — A woman charged in connection with a string of vehicle thefts in Bridgewater has admitted riding around in a stolen truck.

Sonja Ann Allen entered a guilty plea to a charge of occupying a vehicle taken without the owner’s consent when she appeared in Bridgewater provincial court February 12.

That was connected to a Dodge truck taken in Bridgewater in late September of last year. It was later recovered damaged outside of town limits.

Ms Allen, 20, also pleaded guilty to two counts of having stolen property — an iPod and personal identification taken from vehicles in September and October — and two counts of breaching probation.

Crown attorney Lloyd Tancock told the court she was implicated last fall when police were investigating a series of thefts of vehicles and thefts from vehicles in the town.

Judge Gregory Lenehan placed Ms Allen on probation for two years as part of a suspended sentence and ordered her to take counselling. She’s to have no contact with other people charged in connection with the thefts.

“You got used,” the judge told Ms Allen. “You literally got taken along for the ride.”

Ms Allen will be back in court in August in connection with the September theft of a Toyota Corolla. One of the people charged with that crime — 21-year-old Tyler Frederick Briffett — has elected trial by judge and jury so the others charged must also go to the higher court.

The third person charged in that case is 22-year-old Natasha Lee Rhyno.

Mr. Briffett also has three other preliminary hearing dates scheduled for July in connection with similar charges of theft and possessing stolen property.


BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater passed a pair of pro-H2O resolutions but stopped short last week on banning the sale of bottled water in public facilities and at municipal events.

Civic politicians weren’t prepared to go that route, suggested Mayor David Walker, for reasons not the least of which would likely involve contracts and legalities.

A resolution championed by a union and citizen advocacy group calling for the single-use bottled water prohibition wasn’t put forward by council in the form of a motion. The consensus of council was that there wasn’t an appetite for that idea, the mayor suggested.

However, resolutions “recognizing water as a human right, promoting publicly financed, owned and operated water and waste-water services” passed unanimously.

Council agreed that “access to clean water is a fundamental human right” and also agreed to call on the federal and provincial governments to “enshrine water as a human right in federal and provincial law” and ask that Ottawa “support the recognition of water as a human right in international law.”

Bridgewater resolved to “oppose privatization in any form of water and wastewater treatment services, including through P3s [public private partnerships] retaining these services in the public domain.” The town also will “lobby the federal government to fulfill its responsibility to support municipal infrastructure by investing in a national water infrastructure fund that would address the growing need to renew existing water and wastewater infrastructure and build new systems.”

They further agreed to forward the resolution to a national municipal government organization.

In November, the Blue Communities Project, promoted by the Canadian Union of Public Employees and Council of Canadians, lobbied the Main Street of the South Shore to have the first Blue Communities certification in Atlantic Canada, which means the town would agree to a series of public water policy expressions, including the ban.

Blue Communities focused on Bridgewater because of the quality of the town’s water, the work efforts of the corporate utility tasked with providing drinking water for the town and part of the Municipality of Lunenburg, and the abilities of the $8 million water treatment plant built and commissioned in September 2001.

Mayor Walker previously suggested alternatives to the bottled water prohibition, such as promotion of municipal water and use of refillable drinking water containers.

Businessman calls Chester’s new sewerrate ‘suicidal’ for small business

By PAULA [email protected]

CHESTER — Residents and businesses in the Vil-lage of Chester are taking issue with a new sewer rate currently being considered by the Municipality of Chester.

The municipality is proposing a universal sewer rate to get non-users off the hook for sewer system deficits.

“The object of this is to provide a rate system that is equitable to all users in order to provide a self-sustaining wastewater system by the users only,” said Councillor Brad Armstrong, the village’s representative on council.

About 20 business owners and residents attended a Village of Chester Commission meeting on Febru-ary 12 to hear the presentation by Councillor Arm-strong. He said although the village has a system that is currently paying for itself and has an ac-cumulated surplus, other areas in the municipality where public systems exist are operating at a loss.

“The rest of them [public sewers] are struggling along and some of them lose money yearly and that money has to be made up out of our general rate … and that’s one of the issues with the current sys-tem,” said Councillor Armstrong.

A recent report of council revealed that every area with a sewer service has a deficit with the ex-ception of the Village of Chester. The village has a $242,961 surplus while others have deficits ranging from $1,836 in Mill Cove up to $160,239 in Chester Basin. Chester Acres has a $21,406 deficit, New Ross a $17,855 deficit and Western Shore a $46,044 deficit.

Councillor Armstrong said the current system is unsustainable. To ensure the system becomes self-supporting, council is proposing an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) option. In the village, that would result in $509 a year/EDU for its over 800 business and residential connections into the 1975 system. The amount is equivalent to the current average rate for residential users. Currently, village residents pay based on assessed value.

The major issue with the proposed EDU system is in the business sector, especially for licensed res-taurants, lounges, dining rooms or clubs. Under the EDU rate system, they would have to pay one EDU plus .75 EDU for every five seats.

Businessman Bob Youden, who owns the Fo’c’sle Tavern, said the 200 licensed seats his restaurant has, would put his sewer bill up by $16,500 or 3,300 per cent. He said he is already paying an additional $20,000 a year to truck water to his establishment twice a week.

“If I take my water bill and my sewer bill … I’d have to do a million dollars worth of business to pay. … The question that I have for you is, why would I bother to be in business in this town?” questioned Mr. Youden. “Why would anyone even bother to go into business here? We have an economic develop-ment officer. If they want to do economic develop-ment the first thing they do is kill this proposed le-galisation because it’s absolutely the most ludicrous plan I have ever seen in the 17 years I have been here. It is suicidal for small business.”

Unlicensed restaurants, cafeterias and snack bars would also see an increase. Under the proposed EDU system, they would be charged two EDUs plus an additional .25 EDU for every 10 seats in the estab-lishment. Other facilities hard hit would be seniors citizens homes who will have to pay .6 EDU for each unit. Tourist trailer parks with hook-up facilities will have to pay .75 EDU per space and three EDUs for each wash-room facility. Hotels, motels and tourist cottages would have to pay .5 EDU for each room or unit with housekeeping fa-cilities and three EDUs per unit without

housekeeping facilities.In Chester Basin, an EDU would be $1,894.21

under the proposed new rate. Chester Basin, which has five connections, currently pays $1,000 a year for their 1996 system.

In Chester Acres, an EDU is proposed to be $884.44. The 1975 system has 22 serviced connections and residents currently pay $550 per year.

In Mill Cove, the EDU would be equivalent to $840.45. Their 1966 system has 65 connections. Cur-rently they pay 50 cents per $100 of assessment translating into an average bill of $1,287.

An EDU in New Ross would be equal to $941.69. Currently the 17 connections pay $1,100 a year for their 2012 system.

In Western Shore, an EDU would be $521.55. Their 1975 system has 335 connections. Currently, resi-dents pay $350 a year.

“The way I see it is areas that are losing money will continue to lose money and the few areas that are breaking even or putting a little money in the bank, will pay more money to make up for the loss-es,” said Councillor Armstrong.

One resident suggested that sewer service should be paid out of the general tax rate the same as roads and sidewalks since having viable businesses in Chester benefits the entire municipality.

“That doesn’t bother me but others on council have an issue with that because people in their areas pay for their own on-site services,” responded Coun-cillor Armstrong.

Councillor Andre Veinotte said paying from the general rate is not fair to those residents who have to subsidize public sewer systems in the municipal-ity while having to pay for their own on-site system. He said a typical on-site sewer system costs about $20,000 with landscaping and lasts about 20 years. In addition, there are pumping and maintenance fees that total about $1,000 a year.

“Those individuals take issue with having to sub-sidize other communities,” said Councillor Veinotte. He said sidewalks are used by all residents of the municipality, but public sewer systems are used by

Businessman Bob Youden says the proposed rate will increase his sewer bill for The Fo’c’sle Tavern by 3,300 per cent.

Search continues for missing man


LUNENBURG — Members of a First Nations band have apparently joined the search for a former Lunen-burg resident who may have fallen into a Sas-katchewan river February 2.

Saskatoon po-lice said Myles MacIntosh, 28, was reported missing approxi-mately 4 a.m. after his fiance alerted them that he had not returned home and could not be located by his friends.

During their initial investi-gation, officers learned that Mr. MacIntosh had been asked to leave a bar where he and his com-panions were celebrating his upcoming wed-ding, after there was some kind of disturbance.

That was around midnight and about a half hour later police received a report that an individual had been seen walking on the ice on the east side of the South Saskatchewan River.

Witnesses said they saw a figure fall into the water, and, based on stature of that person, believed it to be a male.

A subsequent search of the area carried out by police, the Saskatoon Fire Department River Rescue Team and a helicopter was unsuccessful. However, the following day police searching the river’s edge found blood evi-dence on the ice.

A missing persons investigation has found no evi-dence of banking or cell phone activity involving Mr. MacIntosh and police said in a February 7 press release that they are unable to conclude any of their investiga-tions.

CBC reported this last week that Mr. MacIntosh’s family had contacted First Nations leaders in Grand-mother’s Bay, Saskatchewan, who recently used an underwater camera to find the body of a person who disappeared in that community.

It was reported the band arrived in Saskatoon late last week and is conducting a search using the device on their own time and free of charge.

Cable ferry back in operationBy KEITH [email protected]

COUNTY — After being out of service for about six weeks, the Brady E. Himmelman cable ferry resumed its usual crossings this week between the communities of East LaHave and LaHave.

The vessel re-started its service during the supper hour of February 17 after completing sea trials, Nova Scotia’s Department of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture Renewal said in a traffic advisory released about three hours before the cable ferry was due to resume operations.

The department, which is the provincial agency responsible for the Brady E. Himmelman ferry, previ-ously hoped to re-start the service on Valentine’s Day. “Ice conditions on February 13 and 14 prevented us from fully testing the new hydraulic pump,” depart-ment spokesman Steve Smith said.

An improperly working large hydraulic pump, equipment that turns wheels in the ferry’s hull where the cable runs through, was discovered during previ-ous sea trials and delayed the resumption of service. A new replacement pump was installed and tested.

The Brady E. Himmelman has been out of ser-vice since January 3 when it ran aground in LowerLaHave after heavy ice conditions in the LaHaveRiver unwound the vessel’s cable from a drum, setting

the ferry adrift.Chas Bennett, the ferry’s sole passenger, along

with the vessel’s captain and engineer were aboard when the incident occurred. No one was hurt. Three vehicles were also on board the Brady E. Himmelman at the time. The vessel had been out of service earlier in the day because of ice build-up on the ramps. It was the captain’s decision to proceed with the crossing, a transportation official said at the time.

A Dartmouth-based marine services firm later towed the 16-metre-long cable ferry a few kilometres to LaHave from Oxner’s Beach, where the vessel was sub-jected to an under-hull survey with the aid of Trans-port Canada. Components identified amongst the dam-age included the drum and the cable anchor system.

The entire ordeal involving the ferry, including the expense of tugboat operations, labour and parts is expected to cost “in the tens of thousands” of dollars but is covered by insurance, a department official said previously. A final tally could be available in about two weeks.

The Brady E. Himmelman was christened in 2010 in honour of the long-time local ferry operator of the same name. The $3.5 million Digby County-built vessel can carry 14 full-size vehicles. It costs about $500,000 a year to operate the ferry, which handles roughly 87,000 vehicles per year.

Yet another stink involving waste water plantProject delays cost taxpayers

thousands of dollarsBy ROBERT [email protected]

LUNENBURG — Delays in install-ing new sludge dewatering equipment at Lunenburg’s waste water treatment plant is costing taxpayers thousands of dollars.

The tender for the project was award-ed to GJ Cahill & Company Limited in late March of last year and a purchase order was issued by the town on April 2.

The total amount of the tender was $666,374, a figure which included net HST as well as the cost of a two-year warranty.

In a recent report to council, Town Engineer Marc Belliveau said that con-tract documents were prepared at that time and for-warded to GJ Ca-hill for signing.

In June, Envi-ronmental Consul-tants ABL and Mr. Belliveau met with representatives of GJ Cahill to get an update on the status of the proj-ect at which time it was determined that the construc-tion schedule was incomplete as the company had not yet received confir-mation of the delivery time of a rotary press, a main component of the project, which was being fabricated by Fournier Industries.

Mr. Belliveau said a revised schedule provided by GJ Cahill in August said that work began on June 17 and was expected to be completed by September 30, 20 days after the required date for completion outlined in the tender docu-ments.

“GJ Cahill indicted the additional time in the schedule was to accommo-date Fournier Industries who required more time to fabricate and deliver the rotary press which GJ Cahill had or-dered in April 2013,” Mr. Belliveau re-ported.

Since that time both the town man-ager and representatives of ABL have followed up on completion of the project

with GJ Cahill “with very little success.“Many phone calls and e-mails sent to

GJ Cahill requesting information on the project schedule went unanswered,” Mr. Belliveau wrote. “Construction workers indicated to us that they, too, were frus-trated because it took so long for equip-ment and materials to arrive on site.”

Yet another meeting was held on Jan-uary 17 to get an update on what was required to completed the project and to discuss its schedule at which time GJ Cahill indicated that the work would be “substantially complete ” by the end of February.

“We stressed the importance of get-ting this project completed as soon as possible as there was a cost to the town

in disposing of wet sludge as a result of delays during construction,” Mr Bellveau reported, adding that based on the amount of work that is re-maining, he agrees with GJ Cahill’s February 28 date of substantial com-pletion.

He estimated that the 21-week delay from the

original tendered completion date will cost taxpayers an additional $39,000, based on weekly savings of $1,860 per week for disposal of de-watered sludge as compared to wet sludge.

The town is now reviewing the con-tract with GJ Cahill to determine what options and recourse is available to council.

Based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, GJ Cahill is described on that city’s board of trade website as having “a solid reputation, and has been named one of the Top 50 Managed Companies in Canada.”

On an aside, Mr. Belliveau said there were also several weeks in January when the town had to truck its sludge to Chester’s Kaiser Meadow facility due to a break down of the processing equip-ment at Whynott’s Settlement.

That added an additional $1,200 to the town’s operating budget.

Climate data study seeks

fundingextension

By PAULA [email protected]

COUNTY — The Southwest Nova Scotia Climate Data Study will get two more years of support from the Municipality of Chester.

Following a presentation by Krista Harding of South Shore Opportuni-ties Business Development Corpora-tion (CBDC) at a committee of the whole meeting on February 6, council decided to contribute $3,000 a year for the next two years to extend the initial three-year project to five years.

The $237,000 project began in 2011 through the Centre for Geographic Science.

Ms Harding said an increased inter-est in starting agriculture businesses led three CBDCs of Yarmouth, Shel-burne and Queens-Lunenburg to se-cure funding from more than a dozen sources to launch a project to assess weather conditions and their influ-ence on agriculture potential.

As a result, in Lunenburg County, 42 stations were installed to measure the temperature and solar radiation along four routes spanning the prov-ince from the south coast to the Bay of Fundy. Two of those routes are located in Lunenburg County and included various locations from Kingsburg to Cherryfield and Blandford to Alder-sville.

Ms Harding said in order for the collected data to be considered effec-tive, it should take place over a five-year period.

“From the beginning, we had thought there should be five years of data, but to be honest, to find the gov-ernment financing for the first three years was a Herculean effort,” said Ms Harding.

Should the project continue, sci-entists would also like to measure wind speed and direction, rainfall and relative humidity because that infor-mation is important for agriculture. Although soil data is also important, Ms Harding said the costs to gather that are in the millions. The extra two years of funding will provide an op-portunity to come up with a market plan so the data can be in a format that could be usable by existing or po-tential agriculture businesses.

To continue the study over the next two years, Ms Harding said it will cost $348,000. The CBDCs have asked for funding from ACOA ($226,325), Nova Scotia Rural and Economic Develop-ment ($54,368) and 14 municipal units in Southwest Nova Scotia ($52,500).

During the first three years in Lunenburg County the Municipality of Lunenburg and the Municipality of Chester were involved. Over the next two years, the CBDC is hoping to also get the support of the towns of Lunenburg and Mahone Bay.

The Municipality of Chester agreed to continue its support over the next two years.

COUNTY — The Municipality of Lunenburg recently passed final read-ing of updated legislation governing solid waste.

The new solid waste collection and disposal bylaw’s main point is the ad-dition of enforcement and penalty as-pects, including administrative ticket-ing. Other changes include updated defi-nitions to coincide with the language in updated legislation, legal and illegal disposal matters and the addition of guidelines for commercial containers, haulers, designated electronic products and construction or demolition materi-als.

The changes ensure the Municipality of Lunenburg’s bylaw remains consis-tent with partnering civic governments, Bridgewater and Mahone Bay, which have either passed or plan to autho-rize similar rules surrounding separa-tion, storage, placement, collection and transportation of discarded materials.

The legislation doesn’t include a usage change to clear garbage bags in-stead of commonly used black bags. At the time of the council meeting, Tammy Wilson, the municipality’s chief admin-istrator, said the clear bag issue is a matter of discussion for a committee involving the three municipalities.

“The joint services board is review-ing that and considering the possibility of a recommendation to forward to the [municipalities] and then the [munici-palities] will have a discussion about the merits of amending their bylaws a second time to incorporate that.”

The use of clear bags during garbage collection is commonplace for most mu-nicipalities in Nova Scotia.

In the Municipality of Lunenburg, bylaw violators can expect to fork out at least $250. If the ticket isn’t paid, jail time of up to 30 days can be expected. Depending on whether or not there’s compliance, fine values and jail time can escalate.

Other sanctions are also possible. Anyone illegally dumping construction or demolition waste can expect at least a $1,000 fine and, if it’s not paid, potential jail time of up to 90 days.

Under the “administrative ticketing” aspect of the legislation, anyone thought to have “upon reasonable grounds” com-mitted a bylaw offence can expect a ticket or “notice of alleged violation” to the tune of $100.

The chairman of a group that rep-resents about 80 property owners near New Germany, appeared before council with questions about the bylaw, includ-ing the administrative ticketing aspect. George Bell of the Hemford Forest Prop-erty Owners Association worried his group could be fined if someone finds something that shouldn’t be in their common waste collection area. He indi-cated that a motion camera has helped identify and nab some offenders in the past.

The municipality suggested an en-forcement official wouldn’t ticket the as-sociation but rather try and seek out the actual violator. “Perfect,” Mr. Bell said.

Mayor Don Downe indicated there’s a willingness to help groups with under-standing the bylaw.

“This legislation, the change that we’re making here, in some ways gives us more authority to be able to start dealing with some of the legal issues but we need to start looking at how we can help organizations such as yours do a good job.”

Water consumption factors into new sewer rate system


BRIDGEWATER — What the new rate will be is yet to be decided but Bridgewa-ter politicians ratified a procedure pav-ing the way for a short term hike in sewer tax which also allows the town time to establish a new system where water use is factored into future sewer rates.

Town council also supported charging rate payers outside of town a higher rate than property owners in town, contrary to a staff recommendation to charge all ratepayers the same rates. Engineering staff proposed identical charges “due to the complexity and interdependence of the sanitary sewer collection, treatment and disposal components and the impacts of future development on existing system compliance,” a report to council said.

Council is also requesting a third party consultant (estimated cost $6,000) to study and analyze rates to be consis-tent with best practices. Last week coun-cil was still talking about the prospects of cutting the general tax rate as sewer expenses are set to spike. The standard charge for one residential dwelling unit is about $152. Amounts differ for shop-ping centres, the hospital and other cir-cumstances.

Estimated costs to operate the existing

sanitary collection and treatment plant were explored as part of an evaluation of sewer service capacity pertaining to the proposed Eagleridge Estates develop-ment.

Eagleridge involves the construction of more than 100 residential dwelling units in a subdivision-style development, including multi-storey apartment build-ings, on nearly seven hectares of land off Dufferin Street. The 17-hectare site straddles the boundary separating the town and Hebbville in the Municipality of Lunenburg.

An engineering report pointed out that the “results of the Eagleridge Es-tates study illustrated that the sanitary sewer rates currently charged by the town approximate about one third of the cost needed to maintain a sustainable sanitary sewage collection and treatment system, without funding in part from the general tax rate.”

Waste-water regulations set out by Ot-tawa and the province force council to consider developing a rate that funds op-erations and upgrades pertaining to the town’s sanitary sewage system in order to meets short and long-term best prac-tices and environmental requirements.

The LaHave Street waste-water treat-ment plant was built in 1990.


BRIDGEWATER — Security at Bridgewater’s Pleasant Street town hall will be discussed during 2014-15 budget deliberations as senior staff and politi-cians deal with a building that, as the mayor says, “has been, and is, just too wide open.”

Mayor David Walker, speaking after a recent town council meeting, suggested

the issue has been talked about for years with no action.

There has been a suggestion of hav-ing identification badges with access codes that would allow entry to different parts of the building. The public gener-ally has free access to various parts of the property.

Mayor Walker wants to see more pre-cautions taken to lessen the risk of something unfortunate happening.

MAHONE BAY — A request for pro-posals for new town entrance signs has led to a discussion about better branding for Mahone Bay.

The town recently advertised for ideas from professional sign makers for the design, supply and installation of three entrance signs.

The existing “We love the beauty around us and we welcome you to share it” signs were placed some 40 or 50 years ago and the potential for new signs has been mentioned a number of times in recent years.

But when council discussed the signs at a recent meeting, officials suggested they might want to take a broader look at the overall branding of the town.

Councillor Kelly Wilson said the image of the three churches is what most people picture when they think of Mahone Bay. He suggested there should be greater con-

tinuity in marketing the town perhaps utilizing the stylized churches logo now used by the chamber of commerce.

“We need to think as a group that that may be worth incorporating in all of the things we do — communications, web-sites, etcetera, and signage,” Councillor Wilson said.

Officials agreed to contact the cham-ber of commerce to determine who has control of the logo and whether it can be shared.

“If you notice what goes on in Lunen-burg, the logo that’s on their town let-terhead, that’s on their signage, that’s on their flag, that’s on their town pins, it’s the same one. It’s not a different one every time you turn around,” Mayor Joe Feeney said.

“I think from a marketing point of view we’d be well advised to try to get to the same place,” he added. “I think it only makes sense, I think it’s good business, for the chamber and the town to have the same marketing logos.”

BRIDGEWATER — Meeting the needs of care delivery beyond the boundaries of dis-trict health authorities will be among upcoming conversations involv-ing the South Shore’s top doc and Nova Sco-tia Health Minister Leo Glavine.

An important ques-tion for South Shore Health’s chief execu-tive, Dr. Peter Vaughan, is what will the prov-ince’s health care sys-tem look like after the McNeil Liberals cut the number of districts to two from 10 as prom-ised.

“In terms of the number of health au-thorities, there’s no sort of magic number in our view,” he said during a recent interview at the Lighthouse Media Group office in Bridgewater, believing there’s a need to configure things in con-sideration of the province’s size.

The reduction to two authorities is expected by 2015-16. The two authorities will be a board for the IWK, and a provincial board, with four regional management zones.

“I really do think we have to take this oppor-tunity to look at restructuring, which everyone knows is necessary and I think many people would agree with,” he explained. “I think we have a real opportunity to have a conversation about focusing on quality and patient safety in the design of the health care system and I think we’d be very inter-ested in having a conversation with the minister about that.”

Mr. Glavine plans to meet with health board members, senior leadership teams and community health board chairpeople in the nine dis-tricts and the IWK Health Centre, includ-ing South Shore Health, “to discuss how to improve provincial health services.”

Mr. Glavine’s meeting with South Shore Health takes place February 19.

At the same time South Shore Health celebrates the estab-lishment of the new Bridgewater and area family health centre at Glen Allan Drive’s South Shore Medical Arts building, they’re raising parking fees at their hospital sites to $4 starting in March. The district expects to net another $140,000 per year in revenue, rough-ly the equivalent of a vice-president staff sal-ary, with the fee spike. Dr. Vaughan said costs impacting the health authority are on the rise and increasing parking fees was a last resort.

Meanwhile, the fur-nishings are in the new health centre — a single-story, 833-square-metre expansion of the medical arts building — and health care pro-

fessionals there were slated to start seeing patients last week. Two family doctors, three nurse practi-tioners, a family practice nurse and administra-tive support are among professionals committed to working there.

South Shore Health is also relishing the addi-tion of Dr. Diyana Docheva, who started practicing in Lunenburg earlier this year.

“She’s the first rural geriatrician in Nova Scotia so it’s real plus for our area,” Dr. Vaughan said.

She possesses great ideas concerning care of the elderly, he said.

“Many of the problems we see in the elderly are medication-related and often her job is taking people off medications or adjusting medication so they’re not over-medicated,” he added. “We don’t have enough geriatricians … in Nova Scotia or in Canada so we’re very lucky to have one.”

It’s now or never

A few things that made me go ‘What the …?’

All Nova Scotians — not just politi-cians — have been given a serious wake-up call. We have been told

that this province is perched precariously on the brink of disaster and that we all must take an active role in becoming part of the solution.

So what do we know?On February 12, after more than a year

of consultation across the province, the Nova Scotia Commission on Building Our New Economy released its final report prophetically titled, “Now or Never — An Urgent Call To Action for Nova Scotians.”

Established by the former NDP govern-ment in November 2012 to engage Nova Scotians in meaningful, informed conver-sations about economic opportunities and challenges, the commission also identified new directions to create prosperity in all regions of the province. Throughout the process, the commission met with over 1,700 participants in 35 public meetings across the province, and received input from more than 20,000 Nova Scotians through the commission website, Face-book, twitter and e-mail.

That sounds like a fairly good cross section of opinions. In tabling the commis-sion’s report last week, chairman and Aca-dia University president Ray Ivany painted a bleak picture of the provincial economy and issued an immediate call to action.

The evidence is clear, he warned. Nova Scotia hovers on the brink of an extended period of decline because the province’s economy today is barely able to support

our current standards of living and public services, and will be much less so in the future unless current economic and popu-lation trends are reversed.

Throughout the province, he said the commission saw many exemplary enter-prises, met many great entrepreneurs, and learned about the significant assets and opportunities we have to support a much stronger economy. However, he pointed out, what’s been missing on the part of leaders in all sectors, not just government, is the shared vision and commitment to make it happen.

We would also like to add that a major adjustment in attitude is also needed to turn this ship around. Everyone, no matter if it’s a business owner or manager, a poli-tician, a community leader, a volunteer or even your so-called “average” citizen, has a stake in the future of this province and we must all work together to find solutions.

We have to get away from depending upon government or someone else to pro-vide for us. We have to show some initia-tive and be willing to accept that the era of handouts has come to an end. Govern-ments have a role to play in our recovery by creating a competitive environment that allows businesses to grow and prosper, but we can no longer expect government to be everything for everyone. The well has es-sentially run dry.

The commission’s findings prove that Nova Scotians have reached a tipping point and we have to accept that maintain-ing the status quo is no longer an option.

Within the report, the commission identi-fies 19 specific goals and 12 game changing strategies for transformative change and renewal. The proposed goals include a va-riety of initiatives, including expanded im-migration, business and trade expansion, enhanced research and development, la-bour force development and revitalization of traditional rural industries.

The report outlines how, in an improv-ing macroeconomic climate, driven by expanding global trade, Nova Scotia has the assets, opportunities, institutional ca-pacities and human capital to turn around its current outlook and build a much more positive future.

We think the message is clear — there is a profound need for Nova Scotians to come together around a shared vision for a better future. Mr. Ivany does hold out hope that we are not doomed to permanent have-not status. We have more than sufficient assets, resources and capabilities to build a better future for Nova Scotia, he believes.

He says we can do better — with a con-certed, province-wide and sector inclusive commitment to economic growth. Clearly, though, it is up to every Nova Scotian to ac-cept the reality and embrace the challenge.

If you don’t want to do it for yourself, then do it for your children and your grandchildren. Their future is resting on our shoulders. Can Nova Scotia count on you?

The final report is available on-line at http://noworneverns.ca/.

— Vernon Oickle

I’ve been doing this for a few years and I like to think I’ve got an open mind but occasionally something comes along

that makes me go, “What the …?”It happened recently when one of our

reporters was covering an event at a local school during which someone introduced a new word to the English vocabulary — “sportspersonship.”

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m all for equality and human rights, but enough already. This drive to politi-cal correctness has gone just a little too far to the outer edges of the extreme.

Let’s all strive to live in a world where a person is not defined by his or her gender, religious affiliation, ethnic-ity, age, physical and intel-lectual abilities, or sexual orientation. That utopia may be society’s ultimate goal but it won’t happen by getting funky with our language as we all know that actions speak louder than words.

Meanwhile, back at the office, I went, “What the …?” when I heard this latest word play. Let’s not ever use that nonsensi-cal word ever again.

*****So I went, “What the …?” during a re-

cent commute to work when I narrowly avoided a collision at the intersection of Victoria and High Streets as buddy in the other car failed to stop at the red light and barreled right on through without even slowing down to see if there was any other traffic coming.

Seriously, folks, green means go, yellow means yield, and red means stop. This uni-versal traffic system is rudimentary basic driving 101 and every driver ought to know that. Red is not a flag telling drivers to gun your vehicle and give it everything you’ve got, while the safety of everyone else on the road be damned.

*****I had a “What the …?” moment last week

when I read a report from the CBC that said top-spending Conservative senators routinely purchased high-priced business class airfares and repeatedly used public money to bring spouses with them on trips to Ottawa, even as the Senate expense scan-dal was in full swing last fall.

In one case, the CBC reported, Senator Scott Tannas of Alberta billed $12,000 to

taxpayers to fly himself and his wife in executive class to Ottawa for a two-day trip. An-other senator, from Toronto, was one of the party’s highest billers for travel despite being just an hour by air from the national capital.

It’s beyond ironic and cer-tainly shocking that the pricey travel, as found by the CBC, came at the same time as sena-tors were debating whether or not to suspend three mem-bers of the Upper Chamber for questionable spending practices. CBC explains that it

reviewed voluntary on-line expense reports posted to Conservative senators’ websites for the same five-week period, from Octo-ber 14 to November 17. During that time, three of the top four Tory travel spenders in the Senate claimed a total of $24,011.79 on business class airfares for themselves and another $13,719.21 on business class flights for their spouses.

If that’s not enough to make you go “What the …?” then I don’t know what is.

*****I went “What the …?” (in a good way) at

one point last week when I noted that Can-ada was leading the overall medal count at the Winter Olympics currently underway in Sochi, Russia.

It was with much pride when, in fact, I confirmed that yes indeed Canada was leading the medal race. I know going to the Olympics is supposed to more about the thrill of competing, doing one’s personal best and representing one’s country, but I have to say it was pretty darned sweet see-ing Canada at the top of the list, even if it

was only for a brief stay.There has been considerable debate in

recent years about the government spend-ing tax dollars on Olympic athletes when the money could be used to support pro-grams that would benefit a wider range of Canadians, especially young people. There is a need for balance, but I think there is something to be said for fostering national pride through our Olympic athletes and having them do well in competition. After all, success breeds success.

*****I had another “What the …?” moment

when Federal Finance Minister Jim Fla-herty tabled the 2014 budget on February 11. A rather bland plan for the coming year, the good news is that, as they promised, the Conservatives have actually wiped out the crippling deficit even though they continue to skirt around that fact and fudge the bot-tom line.

Instead, Mr. Flaherty and Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper have tabled a plan that essentially puts the country’s financial plans into a holding pattern as they gear up for next year’s budget, which will come on the eve of a fall election and is projected to boast a $6 billion surplus. That will give them lots of spending opportunities next year in an effort to woo the voters.

Clearly, they wanted to hold off on the celebrations until they can gain the most political traction. Can’t blame them for that even if Canadians were expecting more in the budget by way of job creation initiatives to reduce the burgeoning unem-ployment statistics.

*****And finally, I’ve had a “What the …?”

moment every day for the past two weeks whenever I step out into the bitter cold and messy weather conditions. It’s an especial-ly powerful moment when I remember that Shubenacadie Sam had predicted we were going to have an early spring. Seems to me the little rodent didn’t know what he was talking about.

If you’ve had one of those“What the …?” moments recently,

COMMENT

that veterans have this service.For our riding of South Shore-St. Margarets,

which never had a Veterans Affairs Regional Office (the closest is Halifax), this means that veterans are able to access information and forms from the Bridgewater Service Canada office and the Shelburne Service Canada office. But it is important to remem-ber that these offices are, and have always been, ad-ministrative in nature. This means that they do not deliver benefits for our veterans but rather help our veterans to access benefits by helping them to fill out forms, etc.

In addition, VAC also supports 17 Operational Stress Injury Clinics, 24 Integrated Personnel Sup-port Centres and a Joint Personnel Support Unit, all dedicated to the veteran or the serving soldier and their families. There are also Military Family Re-source Centres across the country, which are there to serve as the name suggests.

There are also 1,461 Royal Canadian Legions across Canada, all of which have service officers (vets serving vets), who assist veterans in filling out forms or other things to make the veteran’s life easi-er. They are not under VAC and the government can take no credit for the work the Legions do, but they are part of the continuum of service available. My of-fice also assists veterans in accessing information for services and benefits.

What’s more, all veterans requiring personal sup-port will continue to be visited by their case manager and-or a registered nurse at their home.

As of June 2013, there are 208,970 veterans, RCMP and their families that receive services from Veterans Affairs Canada. When we formed government in 2006, the VAC budget was $2.9 billion. We’ve increased that to $3.64 billion. Over 90 per cent of VAC spending goes directly to programs and services for veterans and their families.

GERALD KEDDY, MPSouth Shore-St. Margarets


Government actually providing increased services to veterans

I would like to take this opportunity to dispel the incorrect information being spread by the Public Service Alliance of Canada about our latest mea-

sure to better serve veterans.The Government of Canada’s Treasury Board

Cabinet Committee was tasked with developing the “Deficit Reduction Action Plan.” This committee was asked to look for a 10 per cent reduction from all departments and, in the end, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) took the lowest cuts of any depart-ment at 1.9 per cent.

These cuts were targeted at inefficiencies and not at services and benefits. The closure of the eight Veterans Affairs Regional Offices was based on the low level of activity at those offices. For Sydney, that was about five walk-ins a day.

For the eight locations where the offices closed there will be a permanently posted case manager at the nearest Service Canada office. This office is often located in the same building as the closed VAC office.

In addition, there will be over 650 locations across Canada where veterans will be able to receive in-person service from the Government of Canada through Service Canada. What our government is doing with Service Canada offices is now allowing that direct access point where face-to-face could be required to help with forms or other things. For some areas of the country this will be the first time

Holding lobsters not a viable option

I read with fascination the Robert Hirtle piece in your February 5 issue in which he reveals Barry Levy’s philosophy, “You gotta know when to hold

‘em.”Great stuff. Fantasyland, but compelling reading.

I wonder if we could engage Mr. Levy’s services? If he can obtain $10 for fishers, perhaps he can obtain $11 or $12 for we dealers. I am so envious of his logic and strategy ….

Unfortunately , Mr. Levy is all wet (no pun intend-ed) on this particular point. All of us want harvest-ers (and dealers and processors and exporters and government even) to obtain a fair return from the business of Nova Scotia lobster.

It is a terrific product appreciated around the world which has been undervalued since 2008. That under valuation did not take place because of some conspiracy. It took place because of the greatest in-ternational recession since the 1930s, the disappear-ance of a 35 per cent exchange benefit, and a dou-bling of the catch in recent years. Other than that, things have been ideal to reward fishers and the rest of us with $10/lb and higher.

Lest any of us think this model is easy, let’s face reality. We catch 150 million pounds annually in Canada and a comparable level in America — 300 million pounds overall of homarus americanus on an annual basis. We cannot sell them all (however much we might like to) for $ 10/lb. It cannot happen and will not happen.

At least not for a few years.Fishers were paid $4 at the opening of the season

this December, which quickly rose to $5 when weath-er challenges intervened. Millions of pounds were sold at that level in December and early January which provided the opportunity for market prices to rise further as the winter weather became even more severe.

If Mr. Levy is not prepared to feed the market with lesser cost inventory during the celebration pe-riods, we will not have a marketplace left. Further if all fishermen held, in less than ideal circumstances of refrigerated water, low ammonia and proper salinity levels away from the ravages of Mother Na-ture, we would have massive quality control issues.

This particular vintage of Nova Scotia lobster has already been sufficiently challenged by low pro-tein, soft shell and lobsters that were not particular-ly sustainable. If we follow Mr. Levy’s prescription, we might fall out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Let’s focus on achieving levels of $ 5/lb regularly before we chase the mythical $10. The Lobster Coun-cil of Canada has a plan to achieve this as quickly as possible in a transparent and sensible fashion. I invite Mr. Levy and others to join the effort.

I’m not sure who is proof-reading this paper before it goes to print, or if it is even done at all any-more.

I read the article about the missing former Lunen-burg resident on page A5. A few paragraphs in, it states: “Mr. MacIntosh is described as six inches in height, 200 pounds…” Really? He was six inches tall?

I had to re-read the byline on page A7 several times: “Lack of co-ordinator, weather, leads to scrap-ing town’s temporary outdoor rinks.” Scraping? Was that supposed to be “scrapping”?

On page B11, there were several photographs fea-turing the Kippers, celebrating their 40 years. The centre of the page displayed a photo of a young lady with the caption under her stating: “Kasey Eldridge (right) atop a pyramid …” She was not the girl to the right, the caption should have said “Kasey Eldridge (above) …” On the right was a photo of another young lady with the caption “Janica Chevarie (left) shows her skills on the balance beam.” Clearly, the girl on the balance beam was on the right, not left.

At this point, I didn’t bother reading any more of the paper. My OCD for grammar, spelling, punctua-tion, and overall accuracy and correctness of the written word would not allow me to. If you need someone to proof-read the paper before it goes to print, I’m available most nights and weekends.

Cell towers do pose health threat

The reassurance of the Conservative govern-ment that Canadians have a say on the place-ment of cell towers in their communities will

continue to ring hollow until the safety code is updat-ed to include the biological effects on public health.

The World Health Organization in 2011, issued a precautionary warning in the use of wireless tech-nology, classifying the radiation emissions from the microwaves and radiowaves as possibly carcinogenic (2b).

In Toronto, council has filed a motion requiring that 15m monopoles and antennae will not be placed in residential communities. Other communities need to take heed.

Because the large towers cannot provide full cover-age, smaller cell towers and antennae are needed to fill those gaps.

Although there is now a public consultation for these smaller cell towers (15 m) there will continue to be no consultation to install the even smaller an-tennae on rooftops and buildings. More and more of these will be appearing as industry’s goal of full cov-erage is achieved.

Until Industry and Health Canada recognizes that exposure to EMR (electromagnetic radiation) from wireless technology endangers the health of the general population, respects municipal bylaws and recognizes the right of communities to use the pre-cautionary principle when rejecting an installation site, communities will not have a say on cell towers of any type or height.

It’s time for a new government

Tuesday’s budget had a direct hit to federal public sector workers — reduced sick leave, pensioners paying an additional 25 per cent

for health benefits and pensions to be reformed. The impact is in the billions of dollars. Good news for the rich corporations … bad news for working Canadi-ans.

Did our MPs for Nova Scotia in the government have any say in the attack? Did you consult the pub-lic sector workers in your riding to ask how they ap-preciate being cheated by their government and MP? When can we expect to see you out in the community with speaking notes from the kids in short pants in the PMO’s office?

The strange thing about all this belt tightening is that Reformers never once touched the golden pen-sions or benefits of MPs … just keep attacking feder-al sector workers — airline, postal and government.

Imagine asking a retired worker to pay an addi-tional 25 per cent when they can hardly survive on what they have. Never mind, say MPs from Nova Sco-tia’s wasteland, put some money into snow-mobile trails for the base.

It’s time for a new government in Canada.DARRELL TINGLEY

Canadians areunder-represented

Democratic representation in Canada is less than three per cent of what it was in 1867.

Then there were 2,006 voters for each rep-resentative; now there are 77,830.

Surely, it’s time to restore the representative value of democracy in Canada; time to give the voice of the people the same strength it had at Confederation. It’s time to return to one representative per 2,000 electors or better.

Plus it’s dirt cheap — even possibly free.Each voter pays about $16.76 a year for Parlia-

ment, less than a cup of coffee a month, and only one of those cups goes to the MPs’ salary. Having a part time, constituency-based, representative for every 1,000 voters would cost about another cup of coffee a month. Plus consensus governments are known to manage the economy better, so the cost is offset by economic gains.

Representation is the voice of the people in a rep-resentative democracy, and the voice of the people is supposed to be what Government is responsible to.

Canadians are under-represented and voiceless.MAJ (RET) DENIS FALVEY

We need to be the leaders of change

In October 2010 the first Lunenburg County’s Vital Signs Report was released by the Lunenburg County Community Fund (LCCF), a charitable

fund established by Lunenburg County residents committed to support initiatives that help sustain and improve life in the county. The report was based on data taken from Statistics Canada and other repu-table sources. In October 2013, a second report was released (the reports can be found at http://www.cfns.ca).

The two reports provide information on issue areas that are considered critical to the well-being of residents in our county. The 2010 report highlighted a mass exodus of youth under 35 years, a changing economy, high rates of obesity, low rates of physical activity and low literacy rates.

In 2013, the report documents we continue to lose our youth segment at an alarming rate. From 2001-2011 the proportion of our population under 15 years of age dropped 19.5 per cent, while the proportion of our population 65 years and older increased 22.4 per cent. Nearly one in four youth is unemployed in our county. The report provides information on housing, safety, arts and culture, learning and the economy.

The reports were intended to alert the community of the serious challenges we are facing. The hope was that the information would help inform future action. Although there have been a number of small initiatives supported by the LCCF, bolder changes are needed to address some of the challenges identified in the report and these have not taken place.

I attended a meeting hosted by the Lighthouse Media Group called “Chart our Own Course.” The meeting was a follow up to the Georgetown Confer-ence held in October on Prince Edward Island. The conference explored ways to revitalize rural commu-nities throughout Atlantic Canada. Our local newspa-per committed to continue the conversation here in Lunenburg County. Lots of people turned up for the initial discussion. However, the enthusiasm around pursuing the ideas generated at the first meeting seems to have waned.

Both these experiences have prompted me to pause and consider what must happen to sustain the chang-es we need to insure we have a great place to live, work and raise a family. The natural beauty abounds, our history is rich and colourful; we have so many of the elements that people seek in living a happy ful-filled life. Yet, we face dramatic issues that threaten many of the things we love. Without meaningful work and a robust economy we face a perilous future.

I believe the power for change lies within us all and we must step forward and demand change and we must lead it. Let’s ask ourselves this simple ques-tion — “What can I do that will improve things in my community?”

We can all think of at least one thing; it might be picking up the garbage along the road, volunteering to read with children at the local school or it might be hosting a small meeting in our community to talk about what can be done to make a better future for residents of Lunenburg County.

We need to start somewhere. We need to be the leaders of change; we must stop looking to others to solve our problems and start that change ourselves.

Making ourvotes count

I was very pleased to see the recent letters to the editor calling voters to get behind the movement for proportional representation (PR) in Canada.

Until PR is established in Canada, voter turnout will remain low, cynicism will remain high, strategic voting will be the norm, and Canada will be saddled with policies made by false majorities.

There have been 16 majority governments in Cana-da since the First World War. Of those, only four have been elected by a true majority of voters. The rest of the winners were just beneficiaries of our winner-take-all system of voting.

This means that for 12 of those governments, the true majority of voters were left voiceless and pow-erless, subject to rule by a single party with its own narrow platform and agenda. What kind of a democ-racy is that?

I know I’m not alone in wanting my voice to be heard and my ballot to count every time I vote, no matter which party I vote for. I also know I’m not alone in thinking that a true democracy requires that a range of values and ideologies be represented in government as a direct reflection of the values and ideas of the electorate.

It’s time for Canada to join the many nations and regions (New Zealand, Iceland, most of South Amer-ica and Europe, including all of Scandinavia and parts of Great Britain, to name some) that currently use PR to form truly representative governments, and it’s time for all voters to urge their party leaders to get behind the movement for fair voting in Canada.

We need a balance of voices in government and all votes need to count.

Federal success came on the back of provincial taxpayers

Some of the success achieved by the federal government in their belt tightening exercise is what they have already downloaded to prov-

inces.They are also very strategic in how they do so.

For example, the Department of Health and Well-ness has to absorb a number of costs that were previously funded federally. Further most are from departments other than Health.

The province is now responsible for funding Ab-original Peoples in nursing homes when the federal department stopped funding in 2011. Medical costs for RCMP are now a provincial responsibility. Fami-lies of military members are funded on day one in being transferred to our province rather than sub-ject to the wait period in place for all other Canadi-ans. Refusing to cover the medical costs of refugees and having the province now cover these costs is another download. This is only some that have been pushed to the province in the last couple of years in health.

You will find similar examples in other provincial departments.

The federal success is on the back of provincial taxpayers or reducing the provinces ability to fund new services.

Even freezing the fees of unemployment insur-ance which is over-funded is an unnecessary cost to employees and an additional cost to employers.

Let’s watch to see what will happen in the next year with additional cuts coming. It is time for pro-vincial leaders to speak out and at a minimum make sure the onus is where it belongs.

Conservatives rush topass flawed bill

A recent editorial in the daily paper asked why the Conservative government is in a big rush to push the Fair Elections Act through

Parliament. Canadians are supposed to believe that this government sincerely wants to strengthen our democracy while, at the same time, restricting debate in parliament. This is just one example of where the talking point bears no resemblance to what is actually being proposed in this legislation.

The government claims that low voter turn-out is a problem, but then proposes to eliminate two meth-ods of voting that have proven effective in ensuring that everyone can exercise this fundamental right. We are told the vouching and voter identification cards have been fraudulently used by citizens while providing no evidence.

There are always going to be some “irregulari-ties” with millions of votes being cast. These proce-dural mistakes could be reduced if Elections Cana-da was given the authority to recruit and properly train all Election Day workers and volunteers in a timely fashion.

The minister has also stated that this legislation will fight electoral fraud while failing to include the right to compel witnesses to testify when fraud is suspected. In addition, Elections Canada doesn’t have the power to request and receive documents from the national political parties to assist in any investigations.

So, what good is it to have robocall companies register when you don’t have the tools to investigate any improper use? Judge Mosley concluded that there was widespread voter suppression in the May 2011 election, but we still know very little almost three years later.

Finally, does it make sense to not consult with the chief electoral officer in any meaningful way and then produce a bill that effectively prevents him from talking to the public about our democracy? This bill will also reportedly prevent Elections Canada from conducting research as well as ends their involvement in the “student vote” program that reached over 500,000 children and youth during the last election.

Another “talking point” from the government is that Canadians should not be overly concerned about limiting debate in the House of Commons. We are told that there will be ample opportunity in com-mittee to hear from witnesses and to make amend-

ments to the legislation.There are a number of problems with this. First,

the real stake holders (i.e. the Canadian public) are not at the table. Another problem is that any amend-ments are limited to changing what is already in the bill and not adding important pieces that have not been included.

A final issue is the Conservative government has shown through their past actions that any recommen-dations from the opposition MPs or other experts are simply ignored.

So, we have a deeply flawed bill that will impact all Canadians and because of the rush to get it through Parliament, there will be limited debate as well as al-most no public consultation. In addition, any serious discussion of electoral reform has to include adopt-ing some form of proportional representation so that every vote counts equally. In this way, all Canadians will have a voice no matter what the issue.

Clear bags comingthis fallMahone Bay

passes changes to garbage rules


MAHONE BAY — It’s official — residents and businesses in Mahone Bay will switch to clear garbage bags this fall.

Town council did second and final reading of amended solid waste rules February 11, changing procedures and enforcement.

The biggest change will see house-holds allowed one opaque privacy bag per collection date. Remaining solid waste traditionally put in dark bags will have to be placed curbside in transparent, colourless bags.

The rules go into effect October 1.Town council passed first reading

last month.

“There was no reaction from the public on the draft bylaw,” CAO Jim Wentzell reported at the February meeting.

Most municipalities in the province already use clear bags. Bridgewater and the Municipality of Lunenburg were initially expected to implement similar bylaws.

“I’m not sure what our partners are doing,” Mayor Joe Feeney said. “I’m concerned about that.”

Councillor Kelly Wilson suggested the town can go it alone if necessary.

“With regard to our partners, I think we always knew that they were going to follow us. We intentionally led on this issue,” he said.

The new rules also include an en-forcement procedure for those who fail to comply.

The hauler will reject unacceptable or unsorted waste with stickers indi-cating the reason for the rejection.

If violations continue, notices may be issued. The resident or business can then pay a $100 fee to the town within 14 days to avoid prosecution.

In the alternative, summary offence tickets carry a minimum fine of $200 on first offence, $300 on second offence and $500 on subsequent offences, up to a maximum of $5,000.

“We intentionally led on this issue.”Kelly Wilson

Goin’ to the fairBayview students show off their skills

There is an abundance of up and coming talent amongst the youth in Lunenburg County’s institutions of learning, none more-so than Bayview Community School in Mahone Bay.

Recently, students of the facility had an opportunity to “strut their stuff ” as the school held its annual fair day, an event which featured their knowledge and creativity in the fields of heritage and science.

Ticks have become much more than a pest in Lunenburg County in recent years, they’ve also become a health risk. For that reason Madelyn Chiasson felt the bother-some acarids would make a very suitable subject for the science fair.

Georgia Lee Thomas is rightly proud of her family’s business, Thomas Amusements, and decided to use it as a theme for her heritage project.

Tristan Eisnor chose an appropriate Lunen-burg County subject for his heritage proj-ect, “The History of Logging.”

Hunting and trapping skills are in Lucah Mailman’s blood, a fact that was most evi-dent in his heritage presentation.

Tyler Hiltz’s project addressed the science of how wind turbines work.

Left: Joey Johnson, left, and Aaron Muzzatti’s heritage project recalled the days when Mahone Bay operated its own hydro electric facility.

Below: Jason Bou-dreau shows off his flair for science with this electromagnet.

Corbin Cadillac was justifiably proud of his science project on the effects of tsunamis.

Left: Michael Cook explains his project on “Brine” to judge Cathy Legge.

Right: Dory fishing was once the order of the day among fishermen in Lunenburg County and Brenden Tanner used

the history of the industry as the basis for his project.

Internationally known artist Yves Berube of Garden Lots has now designed a total of nine coins for the Canadian Mint.

Hi ho silver!Local artist designs four newcoins for the Canadian Mint


“We’re in the Money” was a popular theme for a pair of movies that came out of Hollywood in the 1930s.

However, when it comes to multi-tal-ented Garden Lots artist Yves Berube, you might say that he “is” the money.

Recently, the Canadian Mint released a quartet of 2014 silver collector coins designed by Mr. Berube, which add to the already impressive list of precious metal currency he has developed for the national treasury.

The first two coins are in $25 and $10 denominations and are the inaugural two releases from the mint’s “Oh Canada” series.

Both coins depict the iconic Arctic image of the igloo, with the $10 denomi-nation featuring a man lifting a freshly cut block of ice in front of a snow house.

The $25 coin depicts the image of an Inuit family perfecting the exterior of the recently completed shell of their home.

Two other $3 coins designed by Mr. Berube are part of the “Animal Archi-tect Series,” the first depicting a painted honey bee standing atop a flower blossom and the second a painted specimen of an orb-weaving spider.

According to the mint website, 98 per cent of the 10,000 honey bee coins being

minted have already been sold.“They asked me to do it, you know.

Years ago I used to go north and spend some time with the Inuit,” he explains of the two, “O Canada” coins.” To cre-ate that scene was kind of just using my memory.”

For the spider and bee coins, he didn’t have to travel much further than the yard of his Garden Lots home to garner inspiration.

“For the flower and the bee, I did the design from my apple tree,” he laughs. “The spider I had to get my step ladder in front of the house and try and take pictures.”

Mr. Berube says for each new coin the mint releases, they turn to a pool of art-ists who have previously worked for them and ask three to create a design.

“The one that makes it the way they want will just get it,” he says. “I’ve worked with them a lot so I know exactly what’s involved in it. It’s a lot of detail.”

To date, Mr. Berube has designed a total of nine coins for the Canadian Mint, including ones commemorating the sink-ing of the Titanic and the 100th Anniver-sary of the Canadian Navy.

He is currently working on some other new projects for the mint which will be released later in the year.

“It’s a challenge, but it’s always fun in a way because when they call me for a subject, you never know what’s going to be next,” he says. “So sometimes you have to read a lot and do a lot of research. It’s not easy.”

This $10 silver coin, part of the “Oh Canada” collection recently released by the Canadian Mint, is one of four designed by local artist Yves Berube.

GOING SOUTHAspiring actress to studyat noted New York school


An up and coming local actress is heading off to study her art south of the border.

Tyla Carey of Martins River, a Grade 12 student at Park View Education Centre, has been accepted at the prestigious Acting, Music, Dancing, Arts College (AMDA) and the Conservatory of the Performing Arts where she will study fine arts at their Man-hattan campus in New York for two years before heading to Hol-lywood to study a further two years at their California campus.

Ms Carey has a lengthy theatrical background, having ap-peared in Neptune Theatre’s production of “Cats” in 2004 and a variety of projects though the Park View drama program, in-cluding “Guys and Dolls” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

She has also done some local television work and will be mak-ing her first appearance with South Shore Players this spring in their production of the adult comedy “Cheap Rooms.”

In that production Ms Carey will play the role of “Hoe,” a “goth” teen in an otherwise adult cast which also includes her father, Rick Carey, in the role of Munroe, an undercover detec-tive.

She said that she made up her mind to apply to AMDA after reading a brochure on the school that she found while shredding some old papers for the Park View guidance counsellor.

“The school is everything I could have ever hoped for,” she says. “My parents supported me but still helped me find backup options just in case. They never told me I couldn’t do it or that I shouldn’t follow my dreams. They kept my feet on the ground and reminded me that it would be hard work and expensive.”

Tuition for the school is high — nearly $40,000 a year — and Ms Carey has started the fundraising process by applying for the South Shore Players Performing Arts Bursary, a $500 prize given each year to a student who will be attending post-second-ary schools studying in the performing arts.

She says her parents have also investigated the availability of other bursaries and would appreciate insight or guidance in that regard.

“Sometimes when I’m feeling low, wondering how we’re going to afford this, I visit AMDA’s website again and watch their videos. Then I am completely rejuvenated and relaxed and I know that everything that is meant to happen, will,” Ms Carey says, adding that having the full support of her parents strengthens her.

“They’ve made my dream their dream,” she says.

Ms Carey and the rest of the cast of “Cheap Rooms,” will perform the play, which is directed by John Letson, at Lunenburg’s Pearl Theatre April 25 to 27 and May 2 to 4.

Anyone wishing to assist Ms Carey in her fundraising endeavours may call 531-2478.

Aspiring actress Tyla Carey of Martins River has been accepted into New York’s Acting, Music, Dancing, Arts College (AMDA) and Con-servatory of the Performing Arts.

LAMP names first artistic directorBy ROBERT [email protected]

The fledgling Lunenburg Acade-my for the Perform-ing Arts (LAMP) has named its first artistic director.

Sydney native Burt Wathen, who received his early musical education in Saint John, New Brunswick has been engaged to lead the initiative, which plans to open its doors in Lunenburg Academy this com-ing fall.

Back in Septem-ber of 2012, Mr. Wa-than, who is also the founder of LAMP, announced amid much fanfare that he had reached an agreement with the Town of Lunenburg for the establish-ment of a non-profit organization based in the national heri-tage site that would serve as a music school for post-grad-uate students.

The major hur-dle for the project was raising the $4.6 million required to operate the facility over the first three years as well as $800,000 in start-up capital to pur-chase six grand pianos and other required items.

At the time Mr. Wathan said he had received pos-itive responses from two Canadian corporations as potential sponsors, but those sources ultimately fell through.

The idea was put on hold until last fall when Mr. Wathan announced that a benefactor had come forward which would allow the school to open on a reduced agenda.

That major contribution, combined with other corporate pledges, raised enough money to allow for the hiring of a general manager and the setting up of an office.

Peter Matthews, spokesman for LAMP’s board of directors, said at that time that the school’s fi-nancial goal had been lowered to raise $1.2 million over three years, a figure that was more realisti-cally achievable.

Mr. Wathan has an impressive musical back-ground and brings a wealth of experience to the artistic director’s position.

After leaving New Brunswick, he studied at the University of Toronto where he graduated with a degree in musical performance.

In 1978 he moved to Rome where he studied with Maestro Dino Asciola and was subsequently of-fered a position with the Accademia Nazionale di

Santa Cecilia where he remained until returning to Canada as a founding member of Symphony Nova Scotia.

There he served a period as interim Artistic Director before returning to Europe again in 1988 to perform as Principal Viola with the Orchestra della Radio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano and the Orchestra della Radio Italiana in Milano.

He later joined the Orchestral del Teatro Comu-nale in Bologna as Principal Viola, a post he will be leaving to come to Lunenburg.

Mr. Wathan has enjoyed an extensive career as a chamber musician and soloist, and has taught with, and served on, the boards of the National Youth Orchestra of Canada and the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra.

He has also served as juror for numerous inter-national viola competitions held in such venues as Genova, Trieste, and Bologna.

Mr. Matthews said that he is thrilled that Mr. Wa-than has agreed to be LAMP’s first artistic director.

“The skills, knowledge, connections and vision he brings to the table are imperative to our suc-cess,” he said.

LAMP will open in October with a two-week Rossini Academy, followed by bi-monthly concert-master class weekends through December.

It will conclude the first fall semester with an international string quartet competition.

Internationally known musician and musical educator Burt Wathen has been named the inaugural artistic director of the Lunenburg Academy for the Performing Arts.

Laura Mulrooney serves up pastries at the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market (Svenja Dee in the background).

Julien’s Bakery at the marketNo matter what I buy during my weekly

visit to the farmers’ market — coffee, cheese, meats, jam, seeds, vegetables, fruit

— the one thing I always get (and serve with ev-erything else!) is bread.

We’re lucky to have two excellent French bak-eries represented at the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market — La Boulangerie Vendéene and Julien’s. This week I spoke with Laura Mulrooney, one of the founders of Julien’s, to learn more about her business.

A presence at the market since the early 90s, Julien’s is also well-known on the South Shore for their café in Chester. That café is now for sale, however, as Laura and her partner, Didier Julien, have grown their bakery business. Their cur-rent baking facility just outside of Chester features tools every baker fantasizes about, including a refriger-ated marble countertop for rolling out croissants and a state-of-the-art wood fired baking oven from Spain with steam in-jection. This feature crystallizes sugar in a baking loaf, enhancing it with a shiny crust while it seals tender moisture inside.

The crusty rolls that this oven produces are particularly popular in Lunenburg and among Julien’s German customers. “They’re good with soups and chowders from Flying Apron Cookery,” said Laura.

Other popular purchases among the farmers’ market crowd include baguettes, sausage and hamburger buns, and Julien’s Vitality loaf for toast and sandwiches. For Easter, the bakery will feature their ever-popular hot cross buns and other goodies.

Laura told me that she finds selling to custom-ers at the market particularly enjoyable — not only does she get to chat in person with custom-ers, but she introduces them to new products and encourages them to expand their tastes. Often, she’ll break a roll or piece of bread in half to show a customer what it’s like and give them a sample before they buy.

“Try it and if you don’t like it, I’ll give you something else next week,” she tells them. Nobody ever takes her up on that offer — although the same customers often come back for more.

Julien’s can be found on the South Shore at the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market every Thursday

morning, at the Hubbards Farmers’ Market in the summer, and at Save Easy stores in Chester, Mahone Bay and Hubbards. In addition, they plan to be at a new farmers’ market in Liverpool on Saturdays this coming summer.

Maple Orange Bread PuddingThis rich, sweet, eggy bread pud-

ding is our go-to dish when we have guests for brunch. You can substitute a nut liqueur for the Grand Marnier if desired, or add a complementary flavour extract instead.

Ingredients• 1 Julien’s brioche, cut into bite-

sized cubes• 6 eggs• 2 1/2 cups coffee cream• 3/4 cup maple syrup• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract• Grated zest from one orange• 1/2 cup Grand Marnier (optional)DirectionPreheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a large

baking pan, place bread cubes in the pan, and set aside.

Combine eggs cream, maple syrup, vanilla ex-tract, orange zest, and Grand Marnier (if using) in a mixing bowl and whisk together until frothy. Pour mixture over bread cubes and let stand until well soaked, about 15 minutes.

Bake until pudding is set in center, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

It’s Mardi Grastime in Lunenburg


It’s party time in Lunenburg!February 22 has been set as the date for this year’s edition of

the Stellar Family Fun Mardi Gras at Bluenose Academy.Last year the annual event, which is a fundraiser in support

of student activities at the school, raised over $12,000 and orga-nizers are hoping to top that mark this year.

Attractions will include an inflatable zone with four large inflatables for kids to enjoy, over 30 kooky carnival games, the Scholastic Book Fair, used toy sale, used book sale, balloon art-ist, face painting, 50-50 draw, basket draws, door prizes, craft and bake sale, Queens Silent Auction and Mardi Gras craft activities.

Festivities begin a 11 a.m. and conclude at 2 p.m.

‘Seedy Saturday’ set for February 22


The eighth annual Seedy Saturday is set to go February 22 at the MARC in Dayspring.

“We’re having our usual buy, sell and trade with local seed producers,” says event spokeswoman Kirsten Busche. “And we have a couple of workshops on seed saving and presentations from seed producers.”

The day’s activities also feature a children’s table, soup luncheon, and a trade table where participants can swap seeds with each other.

“We’re having a raffle. Tim Freeman is once again providing one of his metal sculptures which this year is a rabbit,” Ms Busche says.

Those activities will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be followed at 3 p.m. by a screening of the film “Fed Up.”

“It’s basically about the evolution of industrial food produc-tion and alternatives, and includes a lot of old footage,” Ms Busche explains.

She says the idea of the Seedy Saturday is to encourage people to eat locally grown food and be more self-sufficient.

Admission to the event is by donation to the Inter Church Food Bank and all proceeds from the luncheon and tea and cof-fee sales will also be turned over to that entity.

Music and Meditation for Lent 2014 begins on March 5 at St. John’s Anglican Church in Lunenburg.

Each half hour presentation features musical friends of St. John’s music program in an eclectic mix of various styles suit-able for meditation and reflection.

The series will contain seven presentations and the public is invited to attend.

The opening event will feature Mary Knickle, soprano with Barbara Butler on piano and organ, organist Garth MacPhee will perform March 12, mezzo-soprano Nina Scott Stoddart on March 19, pianist Sharon Gow on March 26, soprano Judith Burdett accompanied by Ms Butler on April 2, St. John’s Evan-gelical Lutheran Church Choir under the direction of Jane Kristenson on April 9 and Madrigal Chorus on April 16.

All performances begin at noon.

Bridgewaterlogo focus of

branding spendingBy KEITH [email protected]

BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater pre-approved spending of up to $5,000 in next year’s budget to finish final revisions on a new town logo.

The town’s rationale for moving ahead quickly — there’s a chance to put a completed logo in place for “grand unveiling of our new visual identity earlier in the next fiscal year,” a report to town council said, and “there may also be an added benefit of having our branding on 2014-2015 capital items, such as vehicles and regulatory signage.”

Mayor David Walker said the town needs a new logo and he’d like to see one that signifies progression and vibrancy. Tweak-ing the colour scheme, he suggested, may be necessary.

“I don’t think logos are stagnant. I think they change and evolve,” the mayor explained to southshorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin. “I see it as more reflect-ing where we’re going and our strong stand on sustainability and our desire to, sort of, change with the changing times.”

The refinements are aimed at a proposed new logo that was designed by an outside firm during the downtown and water-front master plan process, which included looking into a new visual identity for the town.

“The benefits of an effective and consistent brand for the Town of Bridgewater may have an impact on economic de-velopment, especially in the areas of special event attraction, tourism, marketing and promotion, business development, and residential growth,” a report to council explained. “A strong, positive town brand can also be a source of civic pride and in-spire community cohesion.”

Staff proposes a five year, $102,500 rebranding strategy that includes dealing with updates to brochures and signage.

“Year one is a critical phase in the … rebranding budget, as the design specifications developed throughout phase one will allow for more accurate budgeting in future phases, as the size and quality of items such as signage will be known,” the staff report said.

Bridgewater also established an informal branding com-mittee comprised of staff and civic politicians to review the designs generated in year one of the branding budget, with a recommendation to council on a logo design.

Date set for water rate hearing


MAHONE BAY — The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board has set April 29 as the date to hear Mahone Bay’s application to increase its water rates.

If approved as requested, water rates will go up 6.6 per cent per year for the next two years and 6.7 per cent in the third year. Officials say each increase works out to about 10 cents a day for the average household.

The town’s water utility ended last year with a deficit of nearly $240,000. That’s expected to hit more than $268,000 by the end of March.

The utility has been carrying a deficit for decades. Staff say the debt could be paid down in five or six years if it can turn a small profit.

The hearing will be held at the Mahone Bay fire hall begin-ning at 10:30 a.m.

Anyone wishing to make comments must write to the board in advance.

A group advocating the construction of a new skate park in Lunenburg would like to see it relocated “out of the shadows” to a more visible location.

Council asked toconsider concrete skate park

in new venueBy ROBERT HIRTLE

[email protected]

LUNENBURG — Four members of a group looking to upgrade Lunenburg’s skate board park say the facility could become a tourist draw and an asset to the community if it were in a more promi-nent location.

Last week Taylor Daurie, Jesse Wat-son, Johnny Purcell and Seth Hiltz appeared before council to give their thoughts on the matter, as well as their views on why installing concrete ramps is preferable over modular steel ramps.

Mr. Watson told council that while they like the present site of the park and recognize that it has an important his-torical significance to skateboarders in the town, they feel a new site should be considered.

He said the venue, which is located west of the arena, was sometimes re-ferred to as a “snake pit,” and carries a lot of baggage, having been vandalized on numerous occasions and gaining a reputation as a hangout where alcohol and drugs use is evident.

The history of the park goes back to 1995 when Paul Scott and Tyler Parks first approached council with the idea of erecting the facility and then led a group of young skaters into making the dream a reality.

Mr. Scott and fellow skater P.J. Hanlon later died tragically in separate motor vehicle accidents and memorial funds in memory of each were set up in support of the park.

Back in 2011, all the ramps in the park with the exception of the halfpipe were deemed unsafe by the town and disman-tled. The town then borrowed modular ramps from the Town of Bridgewater as a short term solution while the prospect of buying new ramps was investigated.

Last year the provincial government approved $18,000 in funding towards the purchase of new modular steel ramps with the town kicking in $9,000 and the Scott and Hanlon Trusts combining for a $7,000 contribution.

The balance of the $54,000 budget was

to be raised by a committee set up to over-see the project.

“We’ve been … concerned, certainly, about the negative aspects we all know about that have gone on there, and felt in a lot of ways unsure how to deal with that,” Mr. Watson said. “[That] moved us into realizing that although it has this important history, a fresh start in a new location might do skateboarding a little more justice.”

Mr. Daurie told council that the idea of purchasing steel ramps should also be re-thought as those types of modular models are “slightly outdated.

“Concrete is the way to go and I know the big issue with concrete would be the cost,” he said, adding the park erected in Chester a few years ago cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“That’s pretty high, but I think we have enough knowledge, and with local companies … we’re pretty confident we can come in within budget, or even under budget, to make a really unique concrete park,” he said.

One of the possible alternate sites the group suggested for a new park would be off Victoria Road in an area adjacent to the town’s tennis courts.

However, if the town is not ready to approve relocation to that venue at this time, the new concrete ramps could be constructed in such a way as to be mov-able at a later date.

The group indicated that the park could be included into the town’s ac-tive transportation strategy, and come equipped with bike racks, benches, pic-nic tables and a rest area where people who were out walking or cycling might enjoy stopping and to watch the skaters.

The park could also be constructed with a marine theme by installing dory-shaped ramps or other equipment with a nautical motif.

“And there is a big tourism side of it, as well,” Mr Daurie said. “People would be willing to travel farther east to skate some of these unique parks.”

Council agreed to take the group’s presentation under consideration when discussing future plans for the park.

Municipality, environmental group, partner to hear

public response concerning coastal setbacks


COUNTY — A local environmental non-profit group and the Municipality of Lunenburg are teaming up to hear the public’s response concerning a po-tential policy dealing with coastal set-backs.

The partnership between the mu-nicipality and Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation sees the foundation respon-sible for a series of tasks. They’ll be con-ducting background research, review-ing existing policies, developing public communications materials, carrying through four public meetings and pre-paring a report on the results of those sessions.

The meetings are expected to be scheduled in the Oakland/Indian Point/Princes Inlet area, Blue Rocks, River-port and Petite Riviere.

The municipality’s planning depart-ment “would be involved in the process. However, the amount of staff resources

required for the initial phase of the project would be reduced,” explained a report to municipal council prepared by the department’s director, Jeff Merrill.

The department’s role would be, among other things, to “provide guid-ance and direction to [the foundation] … and, act as a key participant in the dis-cussions, responding to policy related questions as appropriate.”

Checking into the prospect of a coast-al setback policy is one of council’s priorities. It was added to their list in December 2013. Staff indicated the first steps in developing such a policy include informing the public about pos-sible flooding and storm surge risks related to existing and proposed coastal development.

“We believe this project to be very important in helping to prepare our communities for the potential impacts of climate change,” Brooke Nodding, the foundation’s executive director, said in correspondence to municipal staff.

South Shore SafeCommunities group secures

senior safety fundsBRIDGEWATER — The province

awarded $20,000 to the Bridgewater-based South Shore Safe Communities organization toward its senior safety programs.

The Bridgewater non-profit group is among 14 organizations across the prov-ince receiving financial backing toward educating and raising “awareness of senior abuse, prevent crime and encour-age the overall health and safety of older Nova Scotians,” a joint statement from the justice and seniors depart-

ments said.The grants are designed to help pro-

vide information or services to seniors in their homes or through group pre-sentations and workshops, such as one-on-one visits from safety program co-ordinators, seminars with professionals and experts, and materials.

A program must have financial or in-kind community support and em-phasize better communication between seniors and police in order to qualify for funding.

South Shore-St. Margarets MP Gerald Keddy: “Budgets can be more exciting when governments have more money to spend.”

Federal budget commits to snowmobile trails spending


COUNTY — A pair of local volunteer organiza-tions are thrilled with a couple of programs and spending commitments unveiled in the Harper gov-ernment’s latest federal budget.

Lunenburg County ground search and rescuers are pleased with a new tax credit aimed at response agencies such as theirs. It’s an excit-ing move, said Sherry Veinot of the local search and rescue organization. The Harper government is prom-ising a 15 per cent non-refundable credit for such volunteers, including those who toil in air and marine search and rescue, who perform at least 200 hours of service per year.

Ms Veinot said members of the Lunenburg group are contacting her asking more about it.

“It’s significant for the people who put in a lot of time,” she said last week. “It’s another recruiting tool; not that anyone really joins ground search and res-cue for that but it’s a plus …”

The feds established a volunteer firefighters tax credit about three years ago. Volunteers who are both search and rescue responders and firefighters can choose which tax credit they want to receive.

Ottawa is also committing $10 million over two years to expand and upgrade Canadian snowmobile trails. Stephen Rafuse of the New Germany-based Crossburn Snowmobile Club suggested it’s terrific to have the support.

“I think it’s a great thing. I guess we’ll have to obviously wait and see how it’s played out and how [the money] is allotted.”

South Shore-St. Margarets MP Gerald Keddy has little doubt that his riding, which includes New Germany, can tap into some of the snowmobile cash, presuming groups have a plan and can file an ap-plication.

The local Conservative MP, commenting on the federal budget, wasn’t buying the criticism that the latest financial document is a toned-down version setting-up for a one in 2015 full of goodies in an elec-

tion year. There are still economic challenges, Mr. Keddy said.

“This wasn’t a deliberate attempt at underestimating the budget,” he said. “This is exactly where we thought we would be.”

He highlighted spending aimed at consumers, communities and manu-facturers, including commitments toward small craft harbours and the ferry service between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. “Honestly, I think most Canadians are looking at this budget as kind of ‘steady as she goes’ but forward looking,”

noted the MP.He also mentioned programs earmarked at the

trades and skilled worker sector.“We’ve got lots of people with education but we

don’t have lots of people with specific skills and there’s a huge demand for these individuals,” Mr. Keddy added.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty commented that the budget was “boring.” Mr. Keddy laughed when asked a question in reference to the minister’s feel-ing of delivering a dull document with financial figures showing the budget is nearly balanced.

“Budgets can be more exciting when governments have more money to spend,” Mr. Keddy said.

“I guess we’ll have to obviously wait and see how it’s played out and how [the

money] is allotted.” Stephen Rafuse

Dayspring graveyard

upkeep talks include best

practices,public sector

fundingBy KEITH [email protected]

DAYSPRING — A civic government is looking into best practices and public sector funding opportunities surround-ing graveyard maintenance and man-agement as they examine upkeep and upgrades concerning a cemetery at the Municipal Activity and Recreation Com-plex (MARC) in Dayspring.

Municipality of Lunenburg staff will consider having a senior recreation de-partment official contact the province “to help direct the municipality as to what the dos and don’ts are when managing and maintaining a cemetery,” a report to municipal council explained, and check “to see if there is any funding available … that would assist with costs of bring-ing the cemetery close to its original state.”

Two other suggestions, striking a cem-etery advisory committee and hosting a public meeting to receive community re-sponse concerning any upgrades, weren’t factored into council’s decision.

The cemetery is the final resting place for nearly 200 residents of the former Municipality of Lunenburg Hospital for Poor and Harmless Insane, a report to council explained. The residents were buried between 1904 and 1959. The Mu-nicipality of Lunenburg owns the cem-etery.

“It was noted that the MARC staff is mowing the cemetery [property] but further maintenance of the cemetery is required,” the report went on. “Many of the graves have sunken in causing the cemetery to be uneven, making it diffi-cult to maintain …”

Some local residents contacted Frank Fawson, municipal councillor for the Dayspring area, and recreation services director Trudy Payne, to express interest “in having the cemetery brought back to a respectable state.” A meeting took place last October.

The matter was later brought up to council’s committee of whole sessions in November and mid-January for consider-ation and again during a recent regular meeting when politicians voted to give staff direction concerning the concept.

cemetery is required.”Municipality of Lunenburg Recreation Services report

MAHONE BAY — Bayview Com-munity School is imploring the South Shore Regional School Board to start recognizing the value of its libraries.

“We ask first for no further cuts and request that funding for school librar-ies be reinstated,” said recent corre-spondence from home and school presi-dent Tina Hennigar.

The board had cut its library budget by over 50 per cent in 2011 following funding reductions from the provincial government.

Since then, services have been re-duced dramatically. At Bayview, the board provides enough funding to staff the library 10 hours per week. The school then fundraises enough addi-tional money to keep the library staffed three days a week.

“However, home and school also raises money for the breakfast pro-gram, arts and music programming, and many other extra-curricular events at the school,” said the correspondence.

“While we want to continue to fund these vital programs and maintain the variety of programs necessary, it is a struggle to do so while also funding the library.”

Ms Hennigar said libraries should be considered a fundamental part of public education.

“In addition to the promotion of knowledge, literacy and information retrieval skills, a professionally deliv-ered library service embeds the joy of reading in our young people, builds self-awareness, self-expression and con-fidence. It enhances culture and leads to social and emotional literacy. Sim-

ply put, libraries are the heart of our schools.”

Her letter said libraries and librar-ians are absolutely critical in this digi-tal age.

“The internet is in itself a vast li-brary, but it is an unregulated one.”

In addition, she noted the school serves students of many different eco-nomic and cultural backgrounds, and that Mahone Bay has no public library.

“For many children, our school li-brary is their only access to books.”

When the issue was tabled at a Feb-ruary 12 board meeting, a number of elected representatives voiced support for making libraries the hub of schools.

“I want to endorse all of the com-ments made thus far,”said Chester-area rep Theresa Griffin.

“At Forest Heights Community School, the library was simply disband-ed completely by one administrator’s decision. There was no discussion with staff, there was no discussion with the community. I think that is a travesty.”

Board member Elmer Garber said li-braries should be the centre of schools, using a new one in South Queens as an example.

“It’s an excellent example of what a library can be.”

Elizabeth Crossland said libraries need more support, and noted some schools fund their own libraries and others do not.

“There’s no consistency across the board.”

Chairwoman Jennifer Naugler di-rected staff to prepare a formal presen-tation about the issue for an upcoming board meeting.

School board asked toreinstate library funding

Budget line was cut by more than half in 2011

Shore Riders ATV club holds successful rally

On January 25, the Shore Riders ATV Club held an ATV Rally that registered 728 hands with passengers. It was an estimated 1,100 to 1,200 people that had attended the days event.

The spin-off from this event was es-timated at around $250,000 to $300,000 spent on this weekend. Hotels in the im-mediate area had up to 50 rooms booked and rooms as far as Bridgewater were booked. The local gas stations reported this is one of their busiest weekends as well as food outlets, etc. Other local dealers (selling machines and repairs)

are still busy from the rally.The local Legion said this is one of

their largest fundraisers because they offer breakfast before the run and a quick hot meal after to those that want it. The local fire department puts on a supper that evening. The Walden fire department hosts the fish and chip can-teen on the trail that day and they do well also for their fundraiser.

Not to mention this is a successful event for the club in which this helps keep our trails repaired and updated.

Rosedale New Horizons Seniors hold first meeting of 2014

Rosedale New Horizons Seniors’ club held its first meeting for 2014 on January 15 with 55 members answering roll call. We welcomed one new member, Noreen Dorey.

Another member has moved from the area and will no longer be a member. We wish her well.

Paulette gave her financial statement which was approved, some discussion took place on our high fuel bill. Not much can be done about that — except pay it!

Appreciation was given to Franklyn and Carolyn for the gifts of new calen-dars. Also, those members holding execu-tive jobs appreciated the gifts presented to them at Christmas from the club.

At the next meeting, tickets will be

given to members to sell on another love-ly wool blanket.

At this time a nice lot of knitted ar-ticles were turned in. We especially ap-plaud Helen Robar for her help in knit-ting for the club, also the ladies from the New Ross area who came to the hall and made a large purchase of yarn.

The annual Lenten soup kitchen will be held at our hall again this year.

The club held their book launch on January 19 at 2 p.m.

Tickets were sold during the meeting on a nice variety basket donated by Pau-lette, it was won by Nita Conrad.

Meeting closed in the usual manner, followed by cards and bingo and a lovely lunch.

Hill ‘n’ Dale 4-H Club members enjoy winter carnival

As always, there was great enthusi-asm at the meeting on February 8 as was seen with the members participat-ing in winter carnival events such as single pulp saw, double pulp saw, cross cut saw, back tank race and water boil competitions. Members were reminded to wear 4-H themed clothing and bring indoor footwear for February 15 at For-est Heights. The “fun crew” will be in the gym with games, volleyball, bad-minton and fun!

The club and the Lunenburg 4-H Council gave a get-well card and fruit basket to leader Lisa Cook. As they have done in previous years, the members voted to make a donation to the IWK.

Stephen DeLong reminded members that planning for the club speaking rally on February 28 and March 1 needs members to share their demonstration or speech topic. Those interested in the competitive part are reminded the county speaking-demonstration rally is March 29.

The exhibition committee still needs past members and leaders for judges for this year’s exhibition. This year’s giant

vegetable is a cabbage. The club hopes for a lot of interest in this!

The delicious chocolate bar cam-paign starts in March and proceeds go back to 4-H clubs.

Our club will be supporting the Big Brothers-Big Sisters bowling event on March 29. Come and have fun support-ing this group.

Near the end of the meeting as part of her junior leader requirement, Stephanie Lantz got us tangled up in a social mixer.

If the weather’s right, skiing at Mar-tock will be March 13 — you can sign up and bring a friend or “bond” at the lodge.

The summer travel committee had great ideas for Cloverbuds, junior and senior groups — keep listening for more.

At the end of the meeting members filled decorated boxes with gifts and treats for Valentine’s to share with el-derly members in the community and attending members were given their own Valentine and treat! Our next meet-ing will be March 15.

Photography club members to observe World Water Day

At the February 11 meeting of the Bridgewater Photographic Society, five members showed their silent essays.

Each photo essay was comprised of 12 images that shared a common theme. They were scored by a panel of three judges and the essay with the highest score will receive an award at the club’s closing dinner on May 27.

The main presentation of the evening was given by Gilbert VanRyckevorsel of Mahone Bay. Gilbert was born in the Netherlands and moved to Canada in 1967.

His hobby of snorkeling and his inter-est in archaeology contributed to Gilbert developing a keen interest in underwater photography. His goal is to create aware-ness for the need of preservation of life-supporting water. With these motivations, he has created underwater photography, stained glass, stone sculpture, scrimshaw on stone and most recently, marine ab-stract art.

The club enjoyed a show of Gilbert’s underwater photography, much of which was taken in local lakes and rivers such as Caribou and Mush-a-Mush.

As spring approaches, club members will be busy taking images to illustrate song titles for their treasure hunt. In addition, the Bridgewater Photographic Society has joined the Lunenburg Photo Club and the Peer Gallery in celebrating World Water Day by having an exhibit of images on the theme “Our Water.”

This exhibit will be held at the Peer Gallery, Lunenburg, March 16, 20, and 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. and on March 22 from noon to 3 p.m.

The next meeting of the Bridgewater Photo club on February 25 will include a presentation on “Creative Photography” and competition in portrait, human inter-est and photo journalism categories. All interested in photography are welcome to our meetings at the MARC. http://www.bridgewaterphotoclub.ca.

Baby season for Branch Lahave 4-H Club

Some of us this month have been heat-ing up baby bottles or waiting for our baby livestock to come. With it being Feb-ruary the baby season is here, and it’s full of excitement.

Last month I mentioned that we, as a club, were going to have a Fun Day on February 1. We had woodsmen, crafts and pizza, and the following Saturday our pancake breakfast fundraiser was held. It was a great success and we would like to send our appreciation to all the people that came as well as the Local Public House for letting us have it there.

This month we had the winter carnival and the royalty pageant on February 15 at Forest Heights Community School. We had woodsmen competitions that day along with board games and competing for Lunenburg County’s host, hostess, prince and princess.

Branch LaHave Club’s speech and demonstrations for our public speaking will be held on March 2 at 1 p.m. We are still selling Vesey seeds which are now due at the April meeting. Our next general meeting will be March 10 at 7:30 p.m.

ClarificationA headline on a report in last

week’s issue, suggested Fishermens’ Memorial Hospital Auxiliary was get-ting ready for an annual curling fun-draiser. In fact, the auxiliary does not organize this event but instead it is undertaken by a committee of volunteers.

We apologize for the confusion.

Mustangs topValley in five games

Team advances to NSMMHL semifinals


Travis Parks played the hero last week as the Charlie’s Pizza South Shore Mus-tangs beat the Valley Wildcats in the deciding game of their first-round Nova Scotia Major Midget Hockey League se-ries.

“Parks got in the Valley defenceman’s shooting lane, blocked a shot and the puck skipped into the neutral zone. Parks pounced on the loose puck and raced away on a clear breakaway, forcing their defenceman to clip Tra-vis down before he could get his shot away,” said coach Brad Muise after the Hubbards native scored on a third-period penalty shot to give the Mustangs a 4-3 victory.

“On the penalty shot, there’s no denying there was nervousness and excitement amongst his teammates on the bench. Some players couldn’t even watch.”

However, the 5’10” for-ward went to his go-to move — skate in wide, fake a shot, cut across to the opposite post and calmly slide the puck through the five hole on his backhand.

“I saw him do that same move four straight times in a major bantam provin-cial championships skills competition two years ago and [score] on all four breakaways with the same move to win the competition,” said his coach.

“He’s got it mastered.”Jordan Messenger, Mitchell Baker and

Christian Tufts also scored for the Mus-tangs in Berwick, while Nicholas Dawe made 43 saves in nets.

“Dawe is an incredible competitor in the crease and he has such a calm pres-ence about him,” said Mr. Muise.

“He made some key saves and also was

clearly tracking the puck from a lot of outside shots. He was challenging shoot-ers all night and didn’t give them much to look at.”

The Mustangs won the best-of-seven series in five games, led by the scoring of linemates Keith Getson (five goals and 11 points) and Alex Nauss (four goals and seven points).

“Nauss and Getson were a force all series. They competed hard on both ends of the ice and generated a lot of offensive opportunities,” said the coach.

“Valley tried to counter the attack with a checking line against them all series, but they had a hard time stopping them, and I kept getting the matchup I wanted. I thought it played into what we were trying to do. The entire lineup for us contributed with solid efforts in all areas of the ice.”

Mitchell Baker chipped in with three goals and five points in the series.

The team has now won nine of its past 11 games overall.

“The key for us was preparation — in-tense practices, video work and mental preparation,” said Mr. Muise.

“We acknowledged as a group that playoffs will test your emotions — it’s full of ups and downs — acknowledge it before you start, face it and know that bad bounces, great plays, bad shifts and good shifts are part of a playoff series.”

He was also happy to see large crowds for the club’s opening-round home games on February 8 and 9, which drew over 1,000 fans.

“It was a great atmosphere and I know it meant a lot to our young hockey play-ers. We really appreciate the community support.”

Sprinters earnnational ranking

A handful of Bluenose Athletics com-petitors had some notable personal-best performances at the annual Track Clas-sic in Halifax on February 10.

“Results for local athletes [included] Jessica Clarke, Leah Wagner and Court-ney Langille taking the win in the 300 metre for their age group,” said a press release from the club.

“Allie Flower, Courtney Langille and

Leah Wagner now rank in the top 20 Na-tionally in the 300.”

Leah, a Park View Education Centre student, is currently ranked 13th in the country through two races for the indoor season.

She is a schoolmate of Allie’s.Courtney attends Bridgewater High

and Jessica goes to Hebbville Academy.

“The key for us was preparation — in-

tense practices, video work and mental

preparation.”Brad Muise

We’re Growing & Improving For You

School board mayspeed up implementation

of PATHS programInitiative teaches children how to improve

self-control and coping abilityBy STACEY [email protected]

COUNTY — The South Shore Regional School Board’s senior management team hopes to speed up implementation of a program which teaches children how to improve their self-control and coping abilities.

“We have heard over and over how suc-cessful the program is,” said director of programs Jeff DeWolfe during a recent board meeting about Pro-moting Alternative Think-ing Strategies (PATH), which has been studied extensivley by Dalhousie University researchers.

“We have solid evidence it makes a difference in the social and emotion-al lives of students, but we’ve done it one small school at a time, so what we want to do is speed up the implementation.”

He said senior staff are making plans to recom-mend the elected board approve approximately $70,000 in new funding to implement PATHS at el-ementary schools in New Germany and Bridgewa-ter.

Superintendent Geoff Cainen said although the board has no 2014-15 funding figures from the province yet, this program should be a priority at budget time.

“We don’t really have an indication yet of how this is going, but we know ab-solutely how critical it is for us to move forward around issues of mental health, and I’m not sure we can sit back and say, ‘Well, do we want to dab our toe in, or do we not want to dabble our toe in?’”

PATHS is grounded in the science of children’s brain development, which has determined that children experience and react to strong emotions before develop-ing the cognitive abilities to verbalize them.

“The PATHS program’s practical, ef-fective strategies teach children how to label their feelings and apply self-control strategies, leading to significant improve-ments in coping skills, classroom behav-ior and verbal fluency,” said information

from the board.“The PATHS pro-

gram facilitates the development of self-control, positive self-es-teem, emotional aware-ness, and interper-sonal problem-solving techniques, all skills that work to reduce classroom disruptions caused by bullying and other hostile behav-iour.”

In three local schools, it reportedly reduced aggression and disrup-tive behaviour by 2, 20 and 39 per cent, respec-tively, while concen-tration and attention reportedly improved over 20 per cent at each

school.In clinical studies, PATHS has also

been shown to significantly improve stu-dents’ ability to tolerate frustration plus their ability and willingness to use effec-tive conflict-resolution strategies.

Over the past few years, the program has been introduced to the board via partnerships with a national children’s mental health initiative and South Shore Health.

POINTING THE WAYDavid Mitchell points out what will become a second access from Glen Allen Drive to Bridgewater’s off-leash dog park. A couple of dozen people and their canines turned out for a February 8 tour and update of progress at the site, which will occupy about one acre in Generations Active Park.

“We have solid evidence it makes a difference in the

social and emotional lives of students, but

we’ve done it one small school at a time, so what we want to do is speed up the implementation.”

Bridgewater’s fi-nance department projects snow clear-ing and removal budget to be at least $91,000 over budget.

Bridgewater forecasts

overall budget surplus,

predicts snowremoval to take a hit


BRIDGEWATER — While Bridgewa-ter’s finance department forecasts an overall budget surplus, a prognostication of the same can’t be said for calculating the town’s snow clearing and removal financial document.

The finance department’s third quar-ter financial projections show snow re-moval at $447,400, above the set amount of $356,000.

“We’re projecting to be over budget. What happens in the next couple of months will determine whether that’s the reality or not,” finance department director Dawn Keizer said recently.

A few winters of less-than-anticipated snowfalls allowed money to go into the snow clearing reserve budget, Ms Keizer indicated.

Meanwhile, overall revenues are slated to be over $19 million, while expenses are shown to be in the area of $18.8 million, making for a budget surplus of $171,400.

“The projection does not include a po-tential transfer from the snow reserve to cover a portion of the projected over ex-penditure for snow removal,” the report said. “A decision will be made regarding this transfer once we have a final year end position.The balance in the snow reserve is $87,600. It is important to note that much can change in the next few months.”

Tax revenue is projected to be over budget by approximately $292,000 mainly due to deed transfer revenue because of “two large unexpected transactions” and fewer appeals and adjustments. Projected revenue expected from parking meters and police court fines are down by about $23,000 due in part because there were “fewer fines than anticipated,” the report said.

On the expense side, compensation costs have factored in putting the police protection finances under budget. “Va-cancies have been filled by more junior officers resulting in a saving,” noted the report.

“In addition, this year, officers have been using their [in lieu of time off] banks by taking time off rather than pay. Legal fees are also expected to be under budget as some of the anticipated expen-ditures have been delayed and some are not required.”

Payments to a joint services board in connection to garbage and waste collec-tion has put that line item over budget by about $56,000. “This relates to the dif-ference between budgeted and projected tonnages for the town,” the report said. “Any surplus or deficit of the joint ser-vices board remains with the board and is taken into consideration in their 2014-15 budget. In addition the town received prior years’ invoices relating to the col-lection contract.”

Also predicted to be over budget is the Bridgewater Memorial Arena and Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre. The former, in part due to the “unanticipated replacement of the score board” and the latter “due to unbudgeted approval of ad-ditional components …”





LIFESTYLE & LEISURE

As a genealogist, I’m always hunt-ing for more databases to uncov-er information pertaining to my

family tree. Thanks to the partnership of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and Canadiana.org it looks as though this task will become a little easier. The two orga-nizations have entered into an agreement that will give Canadians access to an es-timated 60 million pages of primary-source documents in the next 10 years.

The documents are per-sonal, administrative and government in form, and chronicle “the country and its people from the 1600s to the mid-1900s.” They will appeal to genealogists, historians and students. The partnership will triple LAC’s digital content on the web. Although initial access to a selection of images will be pay-to-view, eventually visitors will have free access to the entire database.

To date, only half of the collection has been described on the Canadiana website (http://heritage.canadiana.ca). There is an estimated 800 titles in the entire collection. To view the list of ti-tles currently detailed, visit the “what’s coming in our catalogue” page. The contents are divided into six categories — Genealogy Records, Aboriginal Re-cords, Government Records, Military & War Records, Papers of Prominent Ca-nadians and Miscellaneous. Since June 2013, more than 2.1 million images have been uploaded.

Basic information is noted for each title. For example, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Crime Indexes and Registers (1902-1919) found under gene-alogy records contains nine films and 13,000 pages.

Listed in the Military & War Records is Department of Militia and Defence, Deputy Minister’s Office: Fenian Raids pension records (1867-1915). It consists of “unnumbered correspondence, af-fidavits and receipts for pensions for the widows and families of militiamen who were killed or died while on active service during the Fenian Raids.” The resource contains six films and 9,000

pages. An ‘X’ denotes the material pos-sesses information of interest to gene-alogists.

The digital images currently avail-able are searchable from the home page. However, the engine is limited.

The Learn More page ex-plains that little of the archival text is currently visible to the search tools. It will take time for the engine to be efficient, but eventually the web site will support full-text searching.

I decided to give the search engine a test drive using my last name: Tibert. Unfortunately the results provided pages with “bert” ending words such as Rob-ert but no Tibert text. I tried again using my moth-er’s maiden name: Appleby. This time the search engine

uncovered several individuals with this surname.

One result appeared in The London Gazette, September 5, 1919. The article gave notice that “all persons having claims against the estate of William Appleby, late of 29, Lawton Street, New-castle-upon-Tyne (who died on the 14th June, 1919), are hereby required to send written particulars of such claims to the undersigned, Solicitors for Hannah Lizzie Appleby.”

Researchers can ‘turn’ the pages in the document where the key search words are found. This enables them to find important information that may tie into their ancestors. The many titles can also be browsed and viewed from start to finish.

Although a small selection of the original documents are typed, research-ers will also encounter much hand-written material. Visitors can zoom in to view images clearer to help deci-pher the words, but a few documents I viewed were a chore to read.

On February 2, Jim Wolford posted the results of the 33rd annual Cyril Coldwell Count of Eagles

and Other Raptors of Eastern King’s County.

The results of the count were com-piled from 35 people in the field, which were comprised of 16 parties. The count time was between 10 and 11 a.m. A total of 388 bald eagles were seen, which included 231 adults, 153 immatures and four of unknown age.

Other raptors recorded were 59 red-tailed hawks, one rough-legged hawk, two sharp-shinned hawks, two merlins, one gyrfalcon and one unidentified hawk. Also seen were two northern shrikes. Another notable was a single white-winged crossbill, which is an ex-tremely rare species for this winter.

Blake Maybank recently gave an interview on CBC concerning the effects of farmers feed-ing chicken carcasses to the eagles, which could be affecting other bird popu-lations in the province.

The practice of the free chicken feast began in the early 1960s when a few ex-tremely cold winters hurt the province’s bald eagle population. Young bald eagles were not able to get food during the harshest part of the winter. A farmer in the area decided to help them by putting his dead chickens out for the eagles to eat.

Flocks of people go to Sheffield Mills in the Annapolis Valley every winter to watch the eagles being fed. Although the eagle watch wraps up after a few weeks, the farmers continue now to feed them all year long. As a result, the numbers of young bald eagles surviving the first few years has increased across the province.

The ratio from the latest eagle watch for adults as compared to juveniles was 60/40. On the Bird Islands of Cape Breton, where large numbers of 50 to 80 young and non-breeding bald eagles have been spending their summers, the eagles are now eating every single young black-legged kittiwake, young great cor-morants and now even young gulls and great black-backed gulls. With no young being produced, bird colonies are being

abandoned.Another bird that is feeling the effect

of the bald eagle is the osprey. Many osprey nests are being taken over by bald eagles. Most people are not aware that bald eagles nest early and the young hatch much sooner then ospreys. So young ospreys are being predated to feed young eagles.

I’ve personally seen os-preys being harassed enough that they abandon nests and I’ve really noticed a drop in osprey nests locally in the past seven years. Blake says that almost everyone he has talked to has reported fewer and fewer ospreys, which is our provincial bird.

Mandy Eisenhauer of Rhodes Corner had a pile-ated woodpecker calling in front of her house. She also saw a brown creeper and spotted an owl, which was likely a barred owl. John

Glandville had seven pine siskins show up for a day at Petite Riviere. These birds are still very scarce this winter, so he is extremely lucky to have seen them. Charles Berry of Bridgewater has roughly 60 mourning doves coming to his feeder almost every day. A belted kingfisher was a good bird seen by David Vanrign in Lunenburg.

At First South, 30 American goldfinch-es, a few purple finches, white-throated sparrows, black-capped chickadees, song sparrows, blue jays and flocks of European starlings decorated the feeders of Charlene MacDonald. She also took photos of a male northern cardinal and of a pair of ring-necked pheasants that showed up. Linda and John Caulfield noticed 30 American goldfinches at their feeders in Clearland. They also have many other bird species tending there.

While visiting with her parents in Bridgewater, Nancy Doud watched a downy woodpecker fly in to confront a lone European starling, which was feed-ing on suet. The downy woodpecker male raised its wings and pummelled the star-ling multiple times with its beak until the starling finally flew off.

BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater wants a number of questions answered before it considers flashing a green or red light concerning a big rig drag racing event in

town this summer.Traffic plans and security matters are

among issues needing outcomes. The town was also interested in hearing from a community in Quebec that hosted a similar attraction and also wants feed-back from local residents here.

“Until you’ve resolved the insurance issues there’s no point in going any fur-ther,” Mayor David Walker explained re-cently.

South Shore in Motion, organizers of an annual automotive extravaganza in Bridgewater, want permission to close

part of Dufferin Street and to allow for the addition of an August 9 big rig event to their summer festival. The group hopes to hear a response from the town by February 24 so they’re able to move on with de-tailed planning and promotions.

Mayor Walker said there are no guarantees.

If getting the necessary answers “that takes us past the 24th then we’ll have to deal with that. South Shore in Motion will have to deal with that,” Mayor Walker said.

“Right now it’s just an uncertain-ty because of the questions that the insurer needs to have answered.”

There are a number of truck-ers already inter-

ested in competing in Bridgewater if the town authorizes the street event. South Shore in Motion believes it’s free enter-tainment that will create excitement and work to favourably grow their multi-day festival. They predict food vendors, hotels and campgrounds will feel a positive eco-nomic impact.

Organizers want to hold the big rig event during the afternoon of August 9 on Dufferin Street. They’d like the street temporarily closed from noon to 6 p.m. be-tween York Street and Exhibition Drive. Residents in the area may experience short periods of noise and delays access-ing driveways in the area but volunteers may be able to offer assistance, a spokes-man for the group indicated recently.

“Yes, using the title ‘big rig drag rac-ing’ to describe a driver competition does make it sound undesirable to some,” Charlie Horstman noted recently, “but trying to market this event requires the more attractive title than a skills compe-tition.”

Organizers urged town officials to learn more about big rig drag racing as part of its research.

The 2013 South Shore in Motion event attracted some of the largest crowds and participant numbers the festival has seen since its inception about 10 years ago. The weekend festival has been known to fea-ture truck pulls, vehicle show and shines, lawn tractor racing and off-highway ve-hicle challenges.

In addition to automotive attractions, they hosted an art show in 2009 and a tribute to Acadia Gas Engines, once a landmark business in town that was lo-cated where Shipyards Landing park is now, in 2008.

Canines became part of the Raloff family at Passion for DogsBy PAULA LEVY

[email protected]

A pack of six wagging tails is just the kind of welcome reception people and canines receive at Passion for Dogs. This daycare and board-ing facility on Veinot Road in Pinehurst opened nearly two years ago in the home of Lynn and Jeffrey Raloff.

But this facility for four-legged members of the family isn’t what most people have come to expect in boarding facilities for their animal companions. Here, dogs become part of the existing pack of friendly, well-socialized canines.

Dogs have always been a part of Ms Raloff ’s life. When she was a child, she continuously bugged her parents for a dog, but it wasn’t until she was 14 years old that the family got its first pet. Since that time she has never been without a dog.

Dogs have not only been a passion for Ms Raloff, they also provide her with safety and security as she navigates streets and public places. Ms Raloff is blind and since 1983, she has had a guide dog by her side. Hav-ing such faith and trust in a dog has given Ms Raloff a connection to dogs that few can appreciate.

“It’s a very hard relationship to explain. Basically, my life is in their paws,” said Ms Raloff.

Since guide dogs retire at their own will, Ms Raloff has never had the inclination to return the dog when she needs another guide dog. She keeps her guide dogs who happily live their retirement years in her home. Today she has a working guide dog and two former guide dogs who

are now retired. The eldest of the two retirees is 14 years old.

“Guide dogs are very well-social-ized,” said Ms Raloff about meeting other dogs. “But as far as fitting in, it’s easy for them.”

Ms Raloff ’s current guide dog, Martin, happily works when his har-ness is on but as soon as his uniform comes off, the dog instantly seeks out his canine friends to play as well

as regularly looking for affectionate pats from Mr. and Ms Raloff.Ms Raloff ’s blindness doesn’t mean she’s not capable of this type of

work. She feeds, gives medication, trains and does basic grooming. And, there is always a sighted person around to pitch-in. Since Mr. Raloff is retired from teaching, that means he’s the one that helps.

Although Ms Raloff has been around dogs for most of her life, she was in fact a physiotherapist before deciding to change careers to dedicate her life to dogs. While still working at her first career, she began taking additional courses relating to dogs. She took a canine athlete course, dog physiotherapy courses as well as a grooming course. She also has received training to care for her guide animals. She and Mr. Raloff also achieved their small animal first-aid certificate for the safety and secu-rity of dogs in their care.

Initially when Mr. and Mrs. Raloff started the business, their plan was to build a kennel to house the visitors. But after careful thought, the couple decided it would be better for the dogs to become a part of their family while they were away from their own family. Introducing a new member to the pack, although temporary, takes planning and slow intro-ductions to not overwhelm the visitors.

But just like humans, some dogs don’t get along. Mr. Raloff said that the benefit of having a large home with many rooms is the ability to divide the pack to keep those who tend not to see eye-to-eye apart. Since there is a choice of playmates, no dog is ever isolated.

“Having our own dogs is good for them [the boarders],” said Mr Ral-off. They always have a companion and there’s always someone willing to play. “When they’re here, they become one of ours,” he added, noting they won’t take any more than three or four dogs at one time.

“We won’t take any more than that,” Ms Raloff agreed. “I’m not here for bulk boarding. I’m here for giving the dog individual attention.”

Ms Raloff said before they accept dogs into their care, they ask that the dogs be up-to-date on their vaccinations and be spayed or neutered. They also ask the dog come for an interview if possible to see if their home and their dogs are a good fit. In addition to being just like home, Passion for Dogs also has a fenced-in yard for outside play. When the weather is nice, the dogs also get out for a daily walk.

At Passion for Dogs, canines become part of the family. The business offers in-home boarding and day care services. Here Lynn and Jeffrey Raloff sit with their dogs who are fully integrated with their board-ers.

BIOMET CLASS ACTION

Wagners Law Firm is currently investigating concerns from recipients of Biomet’s metal-on-metal hip implant systems.

Recently published information has revealed that some of Biomet’s metal-on-metal hipimplant systems fail prematurely thereby causing bone dislocation, metallosis and the needfor further surgery.

If you, or someone you know, have received a Biomet metal-on-metal hip implant systemand have suffered an injury, you may contact Wagners Law Firm.

WagnersHalifax, NS Phone: 902-425-7330 Toll-Free: 1-800-465-8794 Email: [email protected]

Wagners is an experienced class action law firm currently involved in similar claims againstWright Medical for its Profemur Hip Implant System, DePuy for its ASR XL AcetabularHip System and its ASR Hip Resurfacing System, and Zimmer for its NexGen CR-FlexPorous Knee Replacement System.

The Western Regional Housing Authority currently has vacancies in our Seniors apartments in Caledonia, Mahone Bay, Riverport, and our Assisted Living Complex (Pineview apts.) in Bridgewater.

Lloyd�John�FitchFITCH, Lloyd John – 83, Whynott’s Settlement, Lunenburg Co., passed away gently in the South Shore Regional Hospital on Thursday, February 13, 2014. Born in Conquerall Mills, he was the son of the late William and Ida (Cross) Fitch. Lloyd greatly enjoyed life, good friends, good food and good times. His home, pets, music, drives in the country, jokes and laughter were important to Lloyd. Helping those he met in need brought him comfort as well. Trips to Europe, Las Vegas and the West Coast brought him great joy, but more so, a good game of 45s

with his friends and home-cooked meals with family around the table were his favourite times. In addition to working for 25 years with the Canadian Armed Forces, Signal Corps., Halifax, Lloyd pursued many interests, buying properties, running his meat business and working on his land in Whynott’s Settlement among them. Lloyd is survived by his daughters, Maria Boyd, Port Mouton; Deb (David) Smicer, Qatar; Darlene (Freddy) Robar, Whynott’s Settlement; Michelle Fitch (Blair Moland), Whynott’s Settlement; grandchildren, Katleya and Mairead, Jacob and Kaleb; sister, Edith (Jim) Clattenburg, Italy Cross; and several nieces and nephews.He was predeceased by sisters Jean Naugler, Mildred Fitch, Marguerite Naugler; brother Arthur and five siblings in infancy. Visitation was held 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m., Monday, February 17 in Sweeny’s Funeral Home, Bridgewater. Funeral service was held 2 p.m., Tuesday, February 18 in Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Bridgewater, Rev. Alvin Westgate officiating. Burial will follow in Sunnyside Cemetery, Whynott’s Settlement. Flowers accepted. Reception to follow at the Oak Hill Fire Hall. Memorial donations in Lloyd’s mem-ory may be made to the Sunnyside Cemetery, Whynott’s Settlement or a charity of your choice. On-line condolences may be made by visiting http://www.sweenysfuneralhome.com.

Card of ThanksSpecial thank-yous to Dr. Heather Robertson and caring staff members of the South Shore Regional Hospital. Your kindness and support during our father’s passing will always be appreciated. To all our friends and neighbours who came to visit, thank you for your company and for keeping our Dad and family in your thoughts. All the flowers, treats and kind words were a great comfort to us and Dad. Many helped to make the quality of Lloyd’s passing one to be envied. You all will forever be in our memories with fondness and appreciation. We value the new friends we have made and the bonds that were strengthened during this journey. It’s been an unexpected bonus at a difficult time. Thank you!

A well driller for most of his life, working for drilling companies in Halifax and the Valley, Hector purchased his own cable tool driller and went into busi-

ness for himself in 1973 continuing beyond his retirement in 1993. His bond with other drillers was like a family where they would discuss in great detail who had drilled the deepest well, the hardiest rock they drilled through, their overflowing wells, stove-piping in sand and in the end how satisfied their customers were with their good water. He traveled extensively within the province, bringing water to more families than we can count, never forgetting a single one, he could even recount how many feet he drilled to get water! Going for a drive with Dad in any direction, you were always rewarded with great stories of the well he did at this house and that home, about every second one it seems. His stories were endless. Since his retirement and his wife Betty passing, no longer tasked with providing for his family, he spent much more time with his children. We will miss him more than we can express, and be eternally grateful for the time we spent with him in these final years getting to know and love our Dad on a whole new level. Surviving are his children, Judy Carver, Kitimat, BC; Wendy (Dana) Oickle, New Canada, NS; Marsha Eisnor, Lower Sackville, NS; Perry Bruhm, Edmonton, AB; step-son, John (Linda) Fader, Innerkip, ON; grandchildren, Carley Carver, Julie Oickle, Christopher (Brooke) Oickle, April (Brian) Eisnor; great-grandchildren, Madison (Carver) Schuss, Haylee (Oickle) Pardy, Joshua Eisnor; brothers, Ronald (Trudy) Bruhm, Rexdale, ON; Carol (Bernadette) Bruhm, Cookville; several nieces and nephews and caregiver and friend, Pam Woodworth. He was predeceased by his parents, wife, Mary Elizabeth (Betty); son-in-law, Robert (Bob) Carver; daughter-in-law, Geneva Faulkner-Bruhm; brother, Cecil. Under the direction of Sweeny’s Funeral Home, Bridgewater, visitation was held 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesday January 15, with a Celebration of Life Service 11 a.m., Thursday, January 16, Rev. Ivan Norton officiating. Interment will be announced at a later date.

Card of ThanksThe family would like to express our sincere heartfelt thank you to family, friends, neighbours and caregivers for all your support and kindness during this difficult time. Special thanks to our Rosedale family for your friendships, compassion, lov-ing care and kindness to Dad and our family, we couldn’t have made it without you; and to Pam, you truly were Dad’s angel here on earth. To Rev Norton for your visits, prayers and guidance; to our families, employers and co-workers, we know it was not always easy but your support, flexibility and time away allowed us to be together with Dad, precious time we will be eternally grateful to have had and will treasure forever. Thank you to the EMS team, the South Shore Regional Emergency staff, Dr. Robinson, and the 3rd floor nursing staff for taking good care of our loved one while in your care. We are especially grateful for those who trav-elled so far and to so many who attended the visitation and the service, your pres-ence meant more than words can adequately express. The flowers, cards, on-line condolences, family donations, visits, meals and phone calls helped make this time more bearable, thank you. The donations in Dad’s memory to Rosedale Home for Special Care, Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital, Canadian Diabetes Assoc., Kidney Foundation of Canada, VON Lun. Co. Branch, New West Pine United Church and IWK Children’s Hospital, will allow much good work to be done in his name, we are honoured by your generosity. Special thanks to Adam Tipert and staff at Sweeny’s Funeral Home for your professionalism and compassion and to the Pinehurst volunteers for opening the hall and preparing a delicious lunch so we could meet and share memories following Dad’s service. We are blessed to live in community of caring people and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Time cannot steal the treasure that we carry in our heartsNor ever dim the shining thoughts our cherished past imparts

God Bless to you all, Judy, Wendy, Marsha, Perry and our families

Eleanor Mary (Storey) Hastie, 1916 – 2014, passed away peacefully, sur-rounded by her family, on February 14, 2014, in Bridgewater.

After a separation of two years, in 1941 she journeyed by train from Moncton to Churchill, Manitoba and boarded the RMS Nascopie bound for Lake Harbour, NWT, where they were

married. This voyage was noted in many newspapers across Canada. Eleanor and Bill shared wonderful work and travel experiences on Baffin Island, India, Washington, Spain and Egypt. Eleanor was the proud mother of three daughters, Janet Ann de Saint Sardos (Jean), Halifax; Mary Elizabeth Wright (John), Bridgewater and Eleanor Storey Wyand (Harland), Bridgewater.Throughout her life, mom took pride in her athletic ability, as a basketball star at her Moncton school, sailing in Shediac and later on, horseback riding in Egypt and cross-country skiing in Petite Riviere.

Organizations close to her heart were the Canadian Red Cross, the Lunenburg County Historical Society, Wesley United Church and the Order of the Eastern Star. Heartfelt thanks is extended to the staff of Hillside Pines Home for Special Care, their excellent and loving care often brought tears to mom’s eyes.

Dora�Elizabeth�CreaserAfter a long and full life, it is with sadness that the family of Dora Elizabeth Creaser, 104, of Riverport, announces her passing on Friday, February 14, 2014, after a brief stay at Parkstone Enhanced Care, Halifax. Born in Dublin Shore, she was a daughter of the late Lambert and Ella (Oxner) Hardy. Active within her community of Riverport, Dora was a member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Rose Bay and was one of the founding members of the Riverport Senior Citizens.In her younger years Dora was train-ing to become a nurse and after con-

tracting TB was not able to finish her training. She was a very social person who enjoyed keeping up on the news of her beloved Riverport as well as world events. She was known for her keen, organized mind and sharp wit, and took great pleasure in doing lexicon and crossword puzzles as well as cryptoquotes and in earlier years in doing beautiful crochet work and mak-ing hooked rugs and quilts. She enjoyed the outdoors, spending time in her flower and vegetable gardens and was very fond of her cats. Dora liked to go camping and in earlier years travelling with family throughout Eastern Canada and after Carman’s retirement, camping in the camper van across Canada and through all the northern and eastern parts of the United States. She was honoured to receive the Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012. Dora was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and we have all been blessed to have know such a great lady.

“May the Peace of Christ Jesus be with you today and always”

By LEENA [email protected]

COUNTY — If you’ve got a question, the Lunen-burg County Sexual Health Centre has an answer.

During the month of February the non-profit is blogging responses to anonymous questions about sexual and reproductive health.

The initiative called “Heart Your Parts,” stems from Sexual and Reproductive Health Week by the Canadian Federation for Sexual Health, which ran from February 10 to 14.

“The target demographic in this campaign is teens. So we’re getting a lot of questions about birth control, a lot of questions around what is normal. Is it normal to do this? Is it normal to do that? What birth control is best?” says Jean Ket-terling, executive director of the Sexual Health Centre located at 4 Hillcrest Street, Unit 8 in Bridgewater.

Ms Ketterling says it’s about creating a safe and comfortable environment for teens to discuss questions or concerns, that they may not do oth-erwise.

“Stuff like when should I start having sex?” she says. “And that’s a huge question. But I think it illustrates that there’s these big discussions that

aren’t happening and we can start to have them in this form.”

And there’s no shortage of questions when it comes to sexual and reproductive health.

“When I go into classrooms they have so many questions, even if it’s a really quiet class, there are still so many questions — especially when you allow them a bit of confidentiality,” says Ms Ketterling.

The blog is one way the Sexual Health Cen-tre can answer more questions and expand on answers. Ms Ketterling points out everyone is welcome to submit questions to the health centre at any time.

“It comes down to not having enough venues for open discussion and shame-free forums. If we can provide a forum, it’s really great, just in terms of quality of life is one thing … having good infor-mation prevents stuff like STIs,” she says.

“But it also creates reassurance and safety in your life … it reassures teens to give them a safe place to talk about this stuff when they’re wor-ried, as opposed to being super super worried until there’s a problem.”

You can submit your questions to Ms Ketterling by e-mail, [email protected].
