CarnavalTown plans to keep rink open in 2014-15Bridgewater arena’s future expected to be re-evaluated

next year

By STACEY [email protected]

BRIDGEWATER — Town council voted 4-3 to endorse a plan to keep the Bridgewater Memorial Arena open for the 2014-15 season during a special meeting on April 22, but not before the deputy mayor voiced his vehement opposition to what he says is simply postponing the in-evitable closure of the 65-year-old facility.

“We are becoming a typical bureaucratic government council. Nothing is going to happen over the next year that’s going to change our mind … other than the fact we’re going to lose more money,” said Bill McInnis, add-ing the rink typically runs an annual deficit between $150,000 and $200,000.

“We just will not pull the trigger. We will not make the decisions that have to be made.”

He said the bottom line is the town does not have the financial wherewithal to operate the arena indefinitely.

“Anyone who thinks who can continue to do that is living a pipe dream.”

Mr. McInnis said there are also a handful of other rinks with available ice time within driving distance of Bridgewater, and that he was frustrated by the lack of inter-municipal co-operation on the issue.

Witnesses testify they saw stabbingMen bumped into each other on sidewalk before violence

By LISA [email protected]

BRIDGEWATER — Three Crown witnesses testified at the trial of a man charged with aggravated assault April 25, saying they saw him pull a knife and stab the victim outside a Bridgewater tavern last October.

“It looked like it was just attack mode,” Billy Silver Jr. said of Jahmal Leslie Thomas. “He just went right at him.”

Mr. Thomas, 32, also faces charges of assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon and breaching earlier re-

lease conditions in connection with an October 6 alterca-tion that sent another man to hospital.

Bobby Childs suffered a stab wound to his left side that lacerated his spleen, damaged his diaphragm, and fractured and displaced a rib.

Mr. Silver, who knew Mr. Thomas by the nickname Slugs, said he saw the two men bump into each other on the sidewalk along Victoria Road shortly after the Tops’l Tavern closed at 2 a.m. He said Mr. Childs said some-thing like “what the f—-’s your problem?”

Mr. Silver testified that Mr. Thomas pulled a knife in his right hand and, although Mr. Childs said he didn’t

want any trouble, “Slugs stabbed him.”He said he went after the man who had just stabbed

his uncle and punched him in the mouth. He then got pushed from behind, he testified, as his father grabbed Mr. Thomas to detain him.

His brother, Eric Silver, was a server at the tavern that night. He told the court he went outside for a cigarette through the side door and was just a few feet away from the altercation, close enough that he heard the knife click open.

Denying income tax allegationsBy LISA BROWN

[email protected]

BRIDGEWATER — A Bridgewater man charged with fail-ing to file tax returns is taking the allegations to trial.

Jimmy R. Selig faces a total of 14 charges — seven as an in-dividual and seven as president of Road Sounds P.A. Systems Limited — alleging he failed to file forms for the years 2005 through 2011.

He was back in Bridgewater provincial court April 23 when

defence lawyer Michael Power indicated his client wanted to enter not guilty pleas to all of the allegations.

However, after Judge Gregory Lenehan pointed out that Mr. Selig could be compelled to testify as an officer of the company against the business entity, Mr. Power asked to have those seven charges adjourned so he can have further discussions with his client.

The business allegations will be back on the docket May 14.The seven charges against Mr. Selig as an individual are

scheduled for trial in September.

THE COURT REPORT

n Failed breathalyser. Blowing breathalyser readings of 220 and 210 mil-ligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood after putting his truck in a ditch will cost a Watford man $1,690 and his licence for a year. Stephen Glenwood Jodrey, 21, had the collision on the Sarty Road in New Canada on February 22. He was fined an additional $130 on April 23 because he was on release conditions not to consume alcohol at the time.n Guilty of assault. Hitting her for-mer boyfriend at a Chester Basin ATV rally earned a Boutiliers Point woman six months on probation. It’s part of a conditional discharge Alyssa Catherine MacDonald, 22, received April 23 after pleading guilty to assault. That happened on January 25.

Punching her five-year-old daughter in the arm hard enough to leave a bruise has landed a Bridgewater woman on pro-bation for a year. Sarah Danielle Evans, 23, was ordered to take counselling as part of a conditional discharge she re-ceived April 23. The assault happened in November.

CorrectionThere was an error in a letter to the

editor written by Susan D. Stevens of Chester Basin that was published in the April 23 edition of the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin. The final paragraph should have read “Nova Scotia Power will be able to recoup program costs from taxpayers ….” We apologize for the error.

ClarificationEmpire House at 48 Empire Street in

Bridgewater will remain a shelter until June 30 but will cease to be a shelter ef-fective that day, by which time Nova Sco-tia’s Department of Community Services intends to have a new service model in place which will bring together a broad range of programs and community ser-vice providers.

Nova Scotia’s Department of Commu-nity Services inadvertently provided us with inaccurate information, which ap-peared in a story in the April 23 edition of the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin and on southshorenow.ca.

“We’re going to keep ours open and we’re going to lose money doing it, so we can all lose money. It makes no sense to me.”

He and Mayor David Walker recently met with their peers from the Municipality of Lunenburg (MODL) to discuss the possibility of somehow working collaboratively to operate both the old arena and a new one at the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre, which they jointly fund.

“With the Lifestyle Centre, MODL has made a significant move from their traditional role within recreation to the tune of $3.8 million from their taxpayers, and I think it was the feeling of both the mayor and the deputy mayor of MODL that they did not [have an] appetite for getting involved with the old arena,” said Mr. Walker, adding the municipality considers that aging facility a competitor to the newer one.

“Their primary concern at MODL was the success and vi-ability of the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre.”

Mayor Walker said he therefore did not ask Mayor Downe to formally raise the matter with his municipal council.

Regardless, the town’s chief administrative officer said, since the Lifestyle Centre opened last year, ice usage during the busy part of the season had increased from about 80 hours per week at the old arena to a combined 100-plus at the two facilities.

“But each rink on its own didn’t match the old arena.”In fact, he said, the old rink was sometimes virtually empty

on some weekends and that overall there were peaks and val-leys in its utilization, which had essentially been cut in half from previous years.

“It’s the valleys that kill us.”Mr. Smith said it was crucial for the two facilities to work

collaboratively on marketing to maximize their collective potential.

“If we can’t do that, it’s going to be tough.”Ultimately, Councillors Sandra Mailman, Andrew Tanner,

Wayne Thorburne and Michael Graves voted in favour of a motion to keep the arena open at least one more season and to re-evaluate its future in 2015.

“I could support keeping it open for one year — one year only — to look at all the possibilities,” said Mr. Thorburne.

“Including the possibility of putting it up for sale.”Mr. Tanner agreed, saying he was not prepared to support

immediate closure without more information.“I want more data before I make that decision.”The price tag for that decision was estimated to be over

$150,000.An advisory committee had recommended council commit

to keeping the rink open for at least 36 months to allow time to consider the merits of its future viability.

The overall Bridgewater town budget was scheduled to be approved on April 28, at which time the arena decision would become final unless council had a last-minute change of heart.

Last week, town council voted 4-3 to keep the aging Bridgewater Memorial Arena open at least one more season.

Public hearing set for Michelin development

Natural gas proposal to be discussed next month

By LEENA [email protected]

BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater Town Council has scheduled a public hearing to further discuss Michelin’s proposed development agreement for a natural gas receiving station.

“There’s been a number of changes that’s been made to the site plan and, since that time, some of the changes [were] made because of input provided by staff, other changes made as a result of input provided by the family that partici-pated in our public participation meet-ing,” said planning director Eric Shaw at a meeting April 14.

The application has been ongoing since October 2013, when the company applied to locate the receiving station on Logan Road. Back in December, the town had a public consultation meeting with five community members in attendance.

Michelin has recently signed an agree-ment with Irving Oil to supply fuel and to assist with managing the operations of the compressed natural gas station, Mr. Shaw explained.

Irving Oil was also to participate in a number of outstanding items requested by town staff, including hazard identifi-cation, a mitigation report, a revised site plan and a buffering plan.

Town staff recently received a re-vised site plan. Michelin is proposing a 30,000-gallon, back-up storage tank to the northern extent of the site.

“This provides a little bit of capacity to store that fuel, to allow for that decanting process and then transfer process into the plant,” Mr. Shaw said.

Another change is that a portion of the development site has shifted about 20 to 25 metres south.

“The reason being is that there a num-ber of overhead power lines that sort of straddle the property line between the

main plant and this property. Some sepa-ration distance was required from those power lines,” explained, Mr. Shaw.

In response to concerns raised by a family back in December, the access road has been changed to be about 30 metres to the north. It was previously planned to be located within 30 to 35 metres of a residential property.

“This was one of the proposed chang-es, to shift this road up a little bit, just to provide a bit of separation and to minimize the impact of some of the truck noise that would be heard as the trucks entered the site,” said Mr. Shaw.

One of the most significant changes to the site plan was the introduction of a three-metre-tall berm. Mr. Shaw said it would serve as a buffer to provide some privacy and hazard mitigation from the site, specifically for the nearby residen-tial property.

Town staff also requested a risk as-sessment report which highlights gov-erning codes and specifications, a list of 25 potential hazards and recommended risk control measures. An emergency response plan has also been requested, outlining emergency scenarios and rec-ommended response procedures.

“The applicant has not only met the minimum requirements of the town but, in many cases, exceeded those minimum requirements substantially. Staff are pleased with those provisions in the site plan,” said Mr. Shaw.

There are three substantial matters to be discussed in the public consultation process including, “the maximum size of the designated hazardous area …. the size and location of the berm to the south of the site and then the addition or deletion of land subject to the agreement,” said Mr. Shaw.

Council has scheduled a public hear-ing at 6 p.m. on May 12 to discuss the revi-sions to the site plan.

Bridgewater mayor raises “A word”

Says councils need to discuss service options and amalgamation


BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater’s mayor says he’s open to discussing “the A word” with other nearby municipali-ties.

“I’ve had a number of people come up to me and say, ‘Look, I really appreci-ate the fact you’ve raised the A word,’ which is amalgamation for anybody who doesn’t know what the A word is,” said David Walker at a recent council meeting.

He said amalgamation is not the pan-acea for all the challenges facing rural towns and municipalities, nor is it nec-essarily the best thing for Bridgewater’s future, but what is certain is, “In Lunen-burg County, we need to sit down and have a frank and open discussion about our future as a county.”

The mayor suggested the area’s five councils need to decide how best to serve their residents.

“Is it the same structure in service delivery? Is it the same governance structure?”

Mayor Walker said some municipal leaders seem afraid to speak about that,

but he is not.“If we become one government down

the road, that doesn’t change the 23 years I’ve served as a councillor in Bridgewater. If the way we offer service changes, it doesn’t mean what we’ve done in the past was wrong or it loses its value. So I’m not worried about what the future may hold, because I know it’s going to be different.”

In recent years, Bridgewater has bucked demographic trends and been one of the few towns in Nova Scotia with a growing population and, accord-ing to Deputy Mayor Bill McInnis, has typically produced a healthy total of between $15 and $25 million worth of building permits annually.

However, the provincial Ivany report recently made clear rural Nova Scotia is facing steep economic and demographic decline, and the towns of Hantsport, Springhill and Bridgetown all recently voted to dissolve due to those seemingly insurmountable challenges.

“We’re fortunate right now, but where are we going to be in 10 or 15 years?” said Mayor Walker. “This is the time to have discussions about your future — when you’re healthy.”

Bridgewater mayor David Walker supports Lunenburg County municipalities discussing the merits of possible amalgamation.

Guilty pleas in marijuana caseBy LISA BROWN

[email protected]

COUNTY — A Chester man will be back in court in June to face sentencing after admitting he was growing and sell-ing marijuana.

George Gary Evans, 59, pleaded guilty to charges of producing mar-ijuana and possessing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking when he ap-

peared in Bridgewater provincial court April 23.

A pre-sentence report is being pre-pared in the case. Mr. Evans is due to return to court June 4.

Police searched a Chester address on September 26 of last year.

The Crown indicated last week that it will drop matching charges against a second man — 20-year-old Steadman Albert Evans — after the sentencing.

He said he’d seen Mr. Thomas walking on King Street moments earlier and was trying to keep an eye on him knowing he was banned from the tavern at the time.

Mr. Silver also testified that he and another employee later spotted a knife in the tavern parking lot in the closest spot to Victoria Road. They pointed it out to police, he said, and an officer seized it.

Cst. Shawn Himmelman testified ear-lier this month that he recognized the distinctive knife as one he found on Mr. Thomas during an impaired driving in-vestigation last July. After ensuring it was legal, he returned it to Mr. Thomas.

Adam Acker also testified Friday, telling the court he was with his friend and his wife that night celebrating Mr. Childs’ birthday. He said Mr. Childs was going to his truck for cigarettes after closing when he saw his friend bump into another man on the sidewalk about 20 feet away.

He said he saw the other man pull out a knife and stab his friend in the side.

Although he didn’t know the other man, Mr. Acker said he was the same person he saw minutes later in the back of a police car. He said there was “no question” the police had the right person.

Cst. Deven Kennedy testified a man in a red staff shirt, whom he later identi-fied as Eric Silver, ran up to him when he pulled up outside the tavern that night, saying his uncle had been stabbed. The constable said people were pointing at Mr. Thomas saying he was the stabber.

“Everybody was yelling and pointing at him,” he said.

Four witnesses testified for the defence Friday, but none of them saw Mr. Childs get stabbed.

Jenna Ryan said she was “pretty drunk” and didn’t see the violence as people crowded around Mr. Thomas.

Her friend, Ryan McCarthy, also missed the altercation, but he and another man tes-

tified they saw a second black man — Mr. Thomas is black — outside the tavern around the same time.

Lawyers will make their final argu-ments to Judge Jim Burrill on May 5.

“Everybody was yelling and pointing at him.”

Liberals, on Bluenose II restoration file

Chester rejects assessment-based

sewer chargesStaff asked to come up with new plan by May 15

By ROBERT [email protected]

CHESTER — A proposal by Chester council to amend its sewer bylaw to create a rate based on property assess-ment values has gone down the drain.

The idea was brought forward at the April 10 meeting of council as a solu-tion to the current situation which sees users of the municipality’s five waste treatment systems being charged sub-stantially different rates.

The Village of Chester is the only one of the five systems that has been financially viable, showing a cash sur-plus of just under $243,000.

The others all are operating in the red, having run up deficits ranging from $1,836 in Mill Cove to $160,000 in Chester Basin.

Annual rates also reflect wild varianc-es, with residents on the Western Shore system paying $350 per year and those in the New Ross a whopping flat rate of $1,100 per year.

Large commercial users are cur-rently charged more than residential or small businesses, but those rates also vary.

The amendment for the proposed rate structure, which was tier-charged based on assessment, was slated to go to first reading at council’s April 24 meeting. However, once again a large contingent of residents, primarily from the Village of Chester, turned out and voiced their opposition to the idea.

They said that, under the proposal, rates for residents in the village would rise markedly because property assess-ments are generally higher there than anywhere else in the municipality.

It was also pointed out that while rates in the village would increase, many residents who are hooked onto the other systems which were losing money would actually see their charg-es drop, something they considered unfair.

Questions arose regarding how an assessment-based rate would affect businesses in the municipality, as well as institutions such as Shoreham Vil-lage, area schools, large users such as Atlantica Hotel and Marina, and low income earners.

Following discussion, council opted to have staff investigate a flat-rate equivalent dwelling unit system with a single family dwelling as the base, blended with some component of user charge for larger entities.

Council had considered such a sys-tem — which they dubbed EDU 2 —

back in February, but dismissed it.At council’s April 10 meeting, vil-

lage resident Ray Cambria had also pitched a version of such a rate sys-tem. His proposal included a flat rate of $652.26 per year — higher than the $553 that was in council’s proposed EDU 2 system — coupled with a modest user fee that would not adversely affect small businesses such as restaurants and laundromats.

That proposal, or something similar, had obviously gained a large ground-swell of support from members of the public who were in attendance at the April 24 meeting and obviously affect-ed council’s decision not to proceed

with an assessment-based rate proposal.

While council-lors were in gen-eral agreement that there is no system which will please ev-eryone, Councillor Andre Veinotte said an EDU with a user pay component is at

least defensible by council.CAO Erin Beaudin said that, under

the EDU 2 proposal presented in Feb-ruary, fees for schools would increase substantially — Chester Area Middle School for example would jump from $8,700 per year to $34,000 — and similar large jumps would be felt at Shoreham Village, where their three accounts would increase from $2,600, $5,600 and $3,100 per year to $11,000, $39,000 and $8,300 respectively.

When hearing the figures for Shore-ham Village, Deputy Warden Floyd Shatford said he could not vote for such a proposal that would have a marked adverse affect on residents living in nursing homes.

“That would put people back on the street,” he said.

Warden Allen Webber said the only way to lessen that impact is to raise the base rate.

Coming up with scenarios which would help council establish that base, as well as a structure of possible user fees, is now in the hands of staff who will report back to council in time for their May 15 meeting, at which time it is hoped first reading of a new rate system will be given.

That gathering will be held at coun-cil chambers at the regular time of 8:45 a.m.; however, bowing to pressure from the gallery, Warden Webber said a meeting for the second and final read-ing on the amendment would be moved to a larger venue and held in the eve-ning to give members of the public who are unable to make a daytime session an opportunity to attend.

“That would put people back on the street.”

By KEITH [email protected]

COUNTY — Lunenburg Liberal MLA Suzanne Lohnes-Croft is accusing a Tory MLA of taking amateurish, undemocrat-ic political jabs at her concerning her work on the much-publicized Bluenose II restoration project.

The backbencher and rookie MLA says she’s been assured the matter is being dealt with seriously and in a timely fash-ion.

“I have spent a great deal of time col-lecting information on the rebuild delays and cost overruns,” Ms Lohnes-Croft told southshore-now.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin in electronic corre-spondence.

“This project has concerned this government to the point of taking the proactive step to conduct a full audit of the restoration project. Concerns over these significant delays and cost overruns have been well documented and dated back prior to this government being elected last October. It has taken a considerable amount of time to compile information, and is an ongoing piece of my constituency work.”

The opposition Progressive Conserva-tives brought up the issue last week, call-ing on the McNeil Liberal government to “come clean with answers about the status of the restoration” and singled out Ms Lohnes-Croft as to whether or not she’s asking any questions.

“Tourism operators and taxpayers on the South Shore have remained hopeful the MLA for Lunenburg can work with her colleagues in the Liberal govern-ment to get answers. To date, that hasn’t happened,” Pictou West Progressive Con-servative MLA and tourism critic, Karla

MacFarlane, said in a statement.“The longer she stays silent the more

obvious it becomes that the political in-terests of the Liberal government come ahead of those seeking answers on the Bluenose II.”

Ms Lohnes-Croft said Ms MacFarlane hasn’t contacted her directly, nor asked Lunenburg riding office staff any ques-tions regarding the Bluenose II file.

“It was totally unprofessional and un-parliamentary for her to ask questions of me in the House of Assembly knowing that I could not respond,” Ms Lohnes-Croft said.

Premier Stephen McNeil supported Ms Lohnes-Croft during question-ing last week in the House of Assembly.

“Not only has she been talking to the premier, she’s been talking directly to her con-stituents on facts,” he told MLAs in the House.

“They know that the issue that has

arisen when it comes to the Bluenose II was started under the Progressive Con-servative Party and was made twice as bad under the New Democratic Party. They know that under her leadership we’ll get that vessel sailing.”

Ms MacFarlane asked the government to “publicly disclose all the information on the Bluenose II restoration project im-mediately so Nova Scotians can judge for themselves.”

Premier McNeil replied: “Mr. Speaker, this government has called in the audi-tor general and the auditor general will make it very clear why the Bluenose II restoration project that was started by the Progressive Conservative Party and made twice as bad by the New Democratic Party has gone on. What he will also tell Nova Scotians is that it was the Liberal Party who actually fixed the mess.”

“It was totally unprofessional and unparliamentary for her to ask questions of me in the House of Assembly knowing that I could not respond.”

Failed to report to registryBy LISA BROWN

[email protected]

COUNTY — Failing to do his an-nual report for the sex offender registry landed a Bridgewater man back in court last week.

Ryan Dwayne Hubley, 26, admitted he didn’t report in late 2013 as required. He then ignored attempts to contact him

early this year.He was ordered to maintain regis-

tration with the national sex offender registry as part of a November 2012 sentencing for sexual touching.

“A simple phone call would have been sufficient to meet his obligations,” Crown attorney Lloyd Tancock told the court last week.

Mr. Hubley was fined $520 April 23.







COUNTY — A provincial court judge told a New Ross man last week that alcohol interfered with his judgment when he hired a 16-year-old girl to clean his bathroom, sexually assaulted her and gave her beer.

“Had you not been consuming alcohol that morn-ing, I don’t think you would ever have come before the court,” Judge Gregory Lenehan told James Al-lison Hiltz April 23.

“You allowed yourself to do something you would not have otherwise have done.”

Judge Lenehan was sentencing Mr. Hiltz, 60, after convicting him of sexual assault at trial last year.

Although Mr. Hiltz denied the allegation, the judge believed a teen who testified that she was

standing on a stool in his bathroom in August 2012 when he ran his hand up her leg and inside her shorts.

“You simply violated her sexual integrity. It was very brief,” Judge Lenehan said last week.

Following the trial, the judge also concluded that Mr. Hiltz then gave the girl beer and offered her more to remove her shirt. She was sitting at the kitchen table topless when another person walked in that day.

Judge Lenehan placed Mr. Hiltz on probation for a year as part of a suspended sentence, ordering him to have no contact with the girl, to stay clear of alcohol and drugs, and to take counselling as directed.

The judge also ordered him to submit a DNA sample for the national criminal data bank and to maintain registration with the national sex of-fender registry for 10 years.

Prohibited driver spending weekends in jail

Man registered car in mom’s name to keep rolling


COUNTY — A prohibited driver who registered and insured a car in his mother’s name so he could keep motoring is now spending weekends in jail.

Fifty-eight-year-old Joseph George Perry of La-belle was sentenced to serve 30 days in custody April 23 after he pleaded guilty to a charge of prohibited driving in Bridgewater provincial court.

“I feel I have no other option but to get the message to you and to other people that driving prohibition orders must be com-plied with or people are going to see the inside of jail cells,” Judge Gregory Lenehan said.

Crown attorney Lloyd Tan-cock told the court Mr. Perry’s mother went to the RCMP last September asking authorities to find out if there were any ve-hicles registered in her name. She indicated her son had asked her to sign a document regarding a vehicle and had also gone to an insurance agency.

When a check confirmed a car registered in her name, the woman became upset, telling police Mr. Perry had been driving regularly despite being prohibited.

He had lost his driving privileges after getting

caught twice driving drunk in March and July of 2012. He was fined a total of $3,500 in February 2013.

Mr. Tancock said police next checked with a Bridgewater insurance agency where staff con-firmed Mr. Perry had taken out a policy on a vehicle on September 16. Despite being told he himself was not insured to drive the car, staff wit-

nessed Mr. Perry diving away that morning.

“He took many efforts to cir-cumvent the court order that was made in February 2013 and the public has to know that there will be consequences — severe consequences — when individu-als breach those orders,” Mr. Tancock said.

Judge Lenehan agreed, say-ing the integrity of court orders must be protected.

“If you’re going to scheme to get around them, you’re going to be dealt with harshly, you’re going to see the inside of a cell.

Otherwise, the entire justice system falls apart,” he said.

Judge Lenehan allowed Mr. Perry to serve his sentence between Friday nights and Monday morn-ings. He’ll be on probation when he’s not in custody.

The judge also prohibited Mr. Perry from driv-ing for two years.

Drunken crimes land man

on house arrestBy LISA BROWN

[email protected]

COUNTY — A Mill Village man with an alcohol problem that keeps landing him on the wrong side of the law is now on house arrest.

Dakota James Parsons was ordered to spend three months at home as part of a one-year conditional sen-tence he received April 23 in Bridgewater provincial court.

The 28 year old pleaded guilty to four charges — an attempted break and enter at a Centre business, stealing from a Bridgewater store and two counts of breaching release conditions, both involving alcohol.

Mr. Parsons tried to get inside Mike’s Quikway on September 27 of last year, then took a bag of frozen french fries from a shed on the property.

In December, he stole grocery items from Giant Tiger and was discovered intoxicated at a Bridgewa-ter tavern four days later, although he was on a court order that included a no-alcohol clause.

He was still on that release condition and suppos-edly on house arrest when he was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a collision in West Dublin late on April 3. He was again intoxicated.

Mr. Parsons had been in jail since his arrest that night, which legal aid lawyer Cathy Benton said gave her client an opportunity to dry out.

She joined the Crown in recommending a condition-al sentence, which Judge Gregory Lenehan suggested was “generous” in the circumstances, but endorsed.

“You need to stay sober,” he told Mr. Parsons. “The offences, they’re really as much a nuisance as any-thing else.”

Mr. Parsons will spend the first three months of the order on house arrest, then three months on a curfew. He’s to stay clear of alcohol, drugs and drinking estab-lishments, and must take counselling as directed.

School board trying toimprove public engagement

Series of meetings scheduled for this springBy STACEY [email protected]

COUNTY — If the initial session was any indication, the South Shore Region-al School Board believes its community engagement meetings will be an invalu-able tool moving forward.

“The power of the work that came out of the tables was amazing,” said Superintendent Geoff Cainen following an April 22 meeting in New Germany at-tended by approximately 45 people.

“I know both staff and the governing board learned things about New Germa-ny and that area we didn’t know before.”

The event included talk about hopes for multi-million dollar renovation proj-ects for the area’s two schools, which were unsuccessfully submitted by the board to the province in 2013-14.

“We told [people at the meeting] we’d be coming back and that we want them to be involved in the development of our business case for New Germany next year. They were very receptive to that.”

He said what elected board members and staff cannot do is assume they know what’s best for a school.

“We have to be involved with those

communities, talk and hear what they’re saying, then build our case. That’s the only way this works.”

The superintendent said the board and its school communities simply can-not work against each other.

“They’re proud, they believe in their schools — that’s very evident — and they deserve a voice. We’re going to make sure that happens.”

However, Mr. Cainen noted the board could not guarantee it would agree to all of a given community’s wishes, but that it was vitally important for the con-sultations to take place before decisions are made.

Regardless, he noted the topics dis-cussed at public meetings will probably differ in various communities and be directed by the people who attend.

“Some will be very particular, like New Germany, and others will be far more general.”

The board has scheduled meetings with each of its six families of schools this spring in an effort to improve pub-lic engagement and communication.

“It’s not a one off,” said Mr. Cainen. “We’ll continue to do these next year.”

MLA proposes Oak Island preservation legislation


COUNTY — If an NDP bill passes, the province would call dibs on some discoveries made at Oak Island, cutting open the pockets of treasure hunters who may try to cash in on any pirates’ bounty stashed on the Martins Point landmark.

The bill, introduced recently by Chester-St. Margaret’s NDP MLA De-nise Peterson-Rafuse, would establish heritage research permits and scrap the existing treasure hunting paperwork. Proponents would be given a six-month window to apply for the transition, a statement released by the NDP Caucus explained.

“Once a heritage permit is received, the permit holder will have two years to conduct any explorations or excava-tions,” the statement went on. “Dur-ing that time, the province will have the right to appoint an archaeologist to monitor the site of any explorations or excavations carried out on Oak Island. This cost would be borne by the permit holder.”

If the bill becomes law, it means dis-coveries, such as coins, would become the property of the province or “anoth-er public institution as designated by the Minister of Communities, Culture and Heritage, such as a museum.”

Ms Peterson-Rafuse said the legisla-tion is aimed at protecting whatever artifacts may be discovered.

“The mystery at Oak Island is a rich part of South Shore heritage,” she told a Halifax news conference. “With this bill, I believe the legacy of Oak Island will be preserved and carried forward for future generations of South Shore residents and all of Nova Scotia.”

Wynand Baerken, who operates a ma-rine services company in the Chester area and lives near the island, supports the move.

“With evidence piling up after 10 years of research by Norwegian Petter Amundsen, we can no longer downplay this island simply as being a treasure island,” the NDP statement quotes him as saying.

Oak Island has become a beacon for treasure hunters for more than 200 years.

Legend has it that three young men in 1795, having heard that pirates stashed their belongings on many of the islands near Mahone Bay, started digging after noticing a depression in the ground.

“Through Amundsen’s historical re-search documentaries like the ‘Sweet Swan of Avon’ and ‘Shakespeare, the hidden truth’ the island has become one of the most intriguing places on earth,” Mr. Baerken said.

French school marks opening of childcare centre


COOKVILLE — Education advocates see last week’s ceremonial opening of a new day-care centre in Cookville’s Centre Scolaire de la Rive-Sud as a chance for kids to get an early start learning French and for families to reacquaint with one of Canada’s official languages.

The childcare centre opened in January on the south side of the school in an area that had, at one time years ago, been used for stor-age until construc-tion of the school’s gym had finished. The day care, which is run by a board of directors separate from the school, currently offers a part-time preschool program for the three to four age-range and an after-school program for kids aged five to 12. The operation is expected to run most of the year, but not during the summer.

“We’re hoping in September to open a full-time program for children who are 18 months [of age] and older,” said Diane Racette, chairwoman of the day care’s board of directors.

She suspects more personnel with early childhood education certification, who are also fluent in French, will need to be hired. They currently have one full-time early childhood educator.

Francophone-related eligibility re-quirements need to be met before a child is accepted into day-care programming.

“Years ago, when we were planning the building of the school, we knew that

it was really important to include a day care in our plans because a lot of fami-lies need that service,” Ms Racette said. “Over the years, a lot of the families have lost contact with the French language and culture. This gives them an opportunity to give the kids a few extra years before they come into the school, so that by the time they get to the school they’re much more comfortable with the language and

more fluent.”The childcare

centre’s official opening event on April 24 was com-plete with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, speeches by digni-taries and musi-cal entertainment for the children. A cake was specially made for the occa-sion.

“A school is the heart and soul of a community and a day-care centre is the heart and soul of the school,” said Darrell Samson, super-intendent of the province’s French school board, in remarks during the ceremony.

“It allows us to recruit, but it also al-lows students to have one year or more to learn French so that when they start school officially they’ll be able to contrib-ute quickly.”

The civic politician who represents the Cookville area commented that the day care is a vital cog in a wider provision of educational services.

“We want the best result for children and parents,” Councillor Claudette Gar-land said, “and that means a mix of child care and early education options so par-ents have a choice and flexible options.”

“A school is the heart and soul of a community and a day-care centre is the heart

and soul of the school.”Darrell Samson

Changes announced to school

review processBy STACEY [email protected]

COUNTY — Both a group of small school advocates and the South Shore Regional School Board are generally con-tent with the provincial government’s planned changes to the controversial school review process which often leads to permanent closures.

“The new process appears to be more fair, and we expect more co-operation and openness throughout. Going for-ward, I think it will be harder for board staff to target small schools,” said Nova Scotia Small Schools Initiative co-chair-man Leif Helmer in a statement following the Department of Education’s April 23 announcement.

“We hope it strengthens the process and helps to support the best possible decisions for our students,” said school board chairwoman Jennifer Naugler.

Amendments to the Education Act announced last week were expected to be the first phase in implementing the new process.

“Further details will be worked out during the next few months with our partners to develop a thorough school review policy,” said Education Minister Karen Casey in a release.

“The process will be in place by September.”The measures announced last week were a response to rec-

ommendations by Robert Fowler, who led a public review of the process last winter.

Some of the key changes include:

• Boards will be required to develop a long-range regional plan for their schools.

• Boards will identify a group of schools for review in their long-range plan.

• A local school review committee will conduct re-views for each group and look at the best solutions, with help from an indepen-dent facilitator.

• Reports and recommen-dations will be prepared by the review committee, not just school board staff, parents or the community.

• Boards will have more flexibility when to start a review.• School review milestones will be time-based rather than

set calendar dates. For example, “within 30 days.”• Boards will remain responsible for deciding whether a

school is closed.“We were pleased board members are still the ones who

make the ultimate decision,” said Chairwoman Naugler.“It’s an important part of our role. That’s part of the duties

we were elected to do and that does fit best with the board.”Meanwhile, Mr. Helmer said perhaps the most promising

development announced was the government’s commitment to develop criteria for the community hub schools concept.

“We are very pleased to see the department and boards taking this on and supporting alternatives to simply close or consolidate.”

However, he said it was unfortunate so many schools were closed under the previous “flawed” system and that his group hopes some of those could be revisited.

“I think many of the schools closed in 2013 would be open today under this new review process.”

No schools are currently under review and none can be put forward until the new process is in place.

Study shows Starr Street location suitable for new public works building


LUNENBURG — Council now has a little better idea how much it will cost taxpayers to construct a new public works building off Starr Street.

Back in January, Stantec Consulting Agency was engaged to conduct a geotechnical investigation to determine the suitability of erecting a building on the site and to provide an estimate of the cost to in-stall its foundation.

Council had previously established the price of the building itself — which, if approved, would re-place the existing public works headquarters located in the old armouries — to be approximately $710,000.

Although bad weather this past winter delayed Stantec in beginning the study, eight test pits were ultimately dug and details of soil conditions were reported to council.

In his report, town engineer Marc Belliveau said Stantec’s findings revealed that a spread footing

foundation and slab on ground construction would be best suited for the area.

Stantec reported that it would be prudent to locate the building on the western portion of the site, as test pits three and four had a rapid inflow of water that was likely attributed to a nearby ditch.

According to their report, the estimated cost of the foundation, including excavation and removal of unsuitable materials and back filling with structural fill, totalled $38,325.

That work, added to the original construction es-timate plus $89,799 for engineering fees, brought the total tab for the new structure to $838,124 net of HST.

Council began looking at relocating the public works building, which has been at its present loca-tion since 1947, last fall.

Several possible sites were discussed until it was decided by consensus to proceed with getting an esti-mate to build at the Starr Street venue.

The Stantec study, which cost $7,950, was a con-tinuation of that process.

“We hope it strengthens the

process and helps to support the best

possible decisions for our students.” Jennifer Naugler

CHESTER — It is a wind driven proj-ect that’s supposed to generate a wind-fall, but just what Chester council will do with money generated from the $196 million South Canoe Wind Farm project is open for debate.

Nova Scotia Power owns 49 per cent of the project, which was approved by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board in February 2013.

The Municipality of Chester, along with Minas Basin Pulp and Paper and Oxford Fine Foods, own the other 51 per cent, and that share is expected to eventually generate millions of dollars in revenues for Chester coffers over the coming years.

Last week, council passed a commit-tee recommendation to adopt a wind en-ergy and budget policy which would in-dicate a third of the revenues be used to fund economic development programs in the municipality, a third be invested in operating reserves and the final third to be designated for community projects and infrastructure.

Not everyone, however, was on side with the proposal.

During discussions, Deputy Warden Floyd Shatford said from the time the recommendation was passed at the com-mittee level to when it came before council, he had time to reflect on the proposal and had a change of heart.

“I apologize for voting for it. I’ve reconsidered and I really think that we made an error in moving forward with that motion,” he explained.

The deputy warden said he did not think the committee spent enough time on the issue, which he said could gener-ate $20 million over the next 20 years.

“I think it should be part of the bud-get process,” he said. “I think the three avenues we put into it don’t make sense to me. One was economic development [and] I think if I ask anyone around this table to write down what they think that means it would be a different answer from every person.”

Councillor Andre Veinotte disagreed and was in favour of putting a third of the revenues aside for economic devel-opment, saying that is something that presently has no budget, “and if we

don’t give it a source of funding, it will wither up and die.”

Councillor Tina Connors questioned whether council should rush into mak-ing a decision on the recommendation and suggested that taking more time to look at the proposal might be prudent.

Warden Allen Webber, however, said council wasn’t rushing, but merely get-ting to a necessary starting point so the matter can be debated.

“I think it’s a good idea for a variety of reasons. For one, the public has some expectations, I think, that this road that we went down on, on economic develop-ment initially — which is essentially what the wind and energy stuff is — that there was a purpose for it all and that there was some clear benefit to the community out of it all,” Warden Web-ber said.

While he agreed with Deputy Warden Shatford that councillors likely have varying ideas as to what economic de-velopment means, their task was not to define specifically what projects could or could not be funded from those re-sources.

“That’s another piece. But if you don’t even intend to do it, then why would you even bother to attempt to define it,” he said, adding “it depends on that given day what we want to fund.

“But it gives you a pot of money out of which to fund it and I agree with Andre, if we are serious about eco-nomic development, then we’ve got to put money into it,” he said. “And that’s the only reason we went down the road of energy initiatives, was to create eco-nomic development. We need a reserve policy, because it became very clear not that long ago that our reserves are not what they should be.”

He said if the reserves get built up to the point that wind energy revenues are no longer necessary to fund them, coun-cil can simply change the policy.

“I don’t really see the problem, my-self. I think it just gives some clarity that it just doesn’t go into a general pot and who knows where it goes,” he said.

Council ultimately accepted the rec-ommendation to adopt the policy with Deputy Warden Shatford voting in the negative.

Family resource centres see spike in

Community Services fundsCOUNTY — A pair of Lunenburg

County entities that specialize in a vast array of family and child-oriented devel-opment and support programs received a five-figure boost in funding from the province’s Department of Community Services.

The family resource centre in New Ross and the South Shore Family Re-source Association in Bridgewater join 24 others in Nova Scotia that are each receiving an extra $75,000.

The province is spiking family re-source centre fund-ing overall by $2 million. A remain-ing $50,000 will be

used for other purposes, such as training.The Department of Community Ser-

vices said it’s the first “significant” fund-ing increase in a decade for the centres.

“The new funding will help staff meet the increasing range of issues facing families today, such as cyberbullying,” the department explained in a statement.

Family resource centres, generally, offer services to families such as pre- and post-natal support, child development and parenting programs.

TAKE NOTICE THAT, on Thursday April 10, 2014, Chester Municipal Council gave notice of its intention to amend Map 10, a land use map in the Municipal Planning Strategy, and Schedule A-8, a zoning map in the Land Use By-law for the Municipality of Chester. The purpose of the map amendments is to change the boundary of the Mill Cove Park Rural Residential (MCP-RR) land use and zone to include two adjacent parcels of land (PID 60423506; PID 60425048) currently designated and zoned General Basic (GB). The proposed map amendments would permit a Commercial Golf Course on these lands. These are the only amendments proposed at this time. Other aspects of development in the Mill Cove Park area will be addressed at a later date.

Bridgewater’s a townwith a real future

This is a very exciting time for Bridgewater and the South Shore in general. There’s a lot happening and I think a lot of it is positive.”

We agree with that recent assessment by Zenda Group vice-president Michael Levy, whose company invests in and manages real estate projects at more than two dozen sites across Canada and the United States, including the Bridgewater Mall.

“Every time I’m there, I say to myself, ‘This is a town with a real future.’”

Zenda Group has committed $7.5 million in a re-development of the mall at a time when many North American towns are in decline, when the provincial Ivany report recently made clear rural Nova Scotia is facing steep economic and demographic decline, and when Hantsport, Springhill and Bridgetown all voted to dissolve due to those seemingly insur-mountable challenges this spring.

In recent years, Bridgewater has bucked demo-graphic trends and been one of the few towns in Nova Scotia with a growing population and, accord-ing to Deputy Mayor Bill McInnis, has typically pro-duced a healthy total of between $15 and $25 million worth of building permits annually.

However, Mr. Levy said Zenda invested in the Main Street of the South Shore not only due to strong market fundamentals, but also because of its people, particularly key political, business, adminis-trative and community group leaders who are ensur-ing the town and the wider region succeed.

“We’ve done a lot of deals in a lot of cities and towns across Canada and the States, and we’ve pretty much never worked in an environment such as this.”

Besides the mall redevelopment, another signifi-cant commercial advancement for Bridgewater this spring was the unveiling of preliminary Phase 1 designs for the downtown and waterfront master plan, which ultimately is expected to include recon-struction of King Street between the Old Bridge and Dufferin Street, improving the Old Bridge, a plan for downtown parking, and removing the south parkade to create a space similar to the one which was there nearly a century ago.

“It was a nice riverbank where people used to gather and sit along the bank and watch parades,” said director of planning Eric Shaw.

“The idea for that space is to reclaim it as a very vibrant public space, similar to maybe a town square, but along the river.”

Yet another progressive step for the town and its surrounding region was the April opening of the new Bridgewater and Area Family Health Centre, which Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil credited the community for leading and working with others to achieve.

“With all of the challenges facing our province in the delivery of health care and all of the other challenges we face, our success will be determined on how well we work together, on how well we lever-age each other’s passion and resources to ensure, no matter where you live in this province, you get ac-cess to timely quality care.”

According to officials, the shortage of local fam-ily doctors had reached crisis proportions in recent years and this centre is expected to help recruit not only those physicians but other health care profes-sionals as well.

In addition, this month marked the official open-ing of the BMO Financial Group Aquatic Centre at the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre (LCLC), which also includes a new arena and public library as part of one of the biggest infrastructure invest-ments in the town’s history.

“It’s really just overwhelming. I had someone here who felt the same,” said aquatics manager Karen Selig.

“They came and swam as part of the lifeguard training and they said, ‘It’s part of a dream come true.’ People are so excited to use it. We’ve been waiting a long time and, to me, it’s surpassed what we were waiting for.”

Nearby, a temporary skatepark is expected to soon be set up in the LCLC parking lot, which could be a springboard to a permanent site in the future.

“I think every community should have a skate park just like we have a baseball diamond and a hockey rink,” said Grinders Square All Wheels Park committee chairman Mark Feindel.

We agree.If the community spirit and investment we’ve

witnessed blossom this spring is any indication, Mr. Feindel’s group will get their wish.

The following is an op-ed from double-lung donor-recipient Jessica Carver who is originally from New Germany, but now lives in Dartmouth. Last week was Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week.

To look at me, you’d never know that just over a year and a half ago I was fighting for my life, battling Cystic Fibrosis. That’s when I

was at my worst, wondering how much time I had left. But then I received a phone call that led to my second chance at life. A double-lung transplant on December 13, 2012.

Every day I was at war with my lungs. Fighting for each breath. All my energy spent on breathing and little left for anything else. However, although the circumstances were serious, I didn’t waste any time feeling negative about my situation. Instead, my oxygen tank, wheelchair and I went out in the city and had a blast. I made many transplant friends and together we made incredible memories. “Trans-plantland” is an amazing and inspiring place.

I also drew strength from the support of my fam-ily, friends and hometown, and shared, and continue to share, my story through my on-line blog, Live Laugh Lungs.

I received the most selfless, priceless gift a person

could give. Because someone made the decision to register as an organ donor and have the discussion with their family, I am alive today. I don’t have words to describe my gratitude for those people. They are my heroes.

How can I possibly explain my life now? Today, I can finally envision a future. I am as healthy as I could ever dream of being. I am not attached to oxy-gen tubing, I no longer need a feeding tube, I don’t require a wheelchair, I don’t gasp for breath, cough-ing is no longer the background music to my life, and I don’t have to rely on others every day. Cystic Fibrosis and the transplant have given me incredible opportunities and experiences. Everyone has a story, this just happens to be mine.

I know, and continue to meet, many others fight-ing Cystic Fibrosis and/or waiting for transplant — I advocate strongly for both. I ask people to have conversations about organ donation and think of the significance it has. I am living the miracle of organ donation.

I hope you’ll discuss organ donation with your family and register as a donor.

Prime minister should appointbetter senators

Not everyone who could make a worthwhile contribution to government wants to run in an election.

Civil servants are not elected, for instance, and neither are Supreme Court judges, commissioners of royal commissions or heads of Crown corpora-tions. Experts aren’t elected, they’re trained — and then we use their knowledge to better ourselves.

We live under the rule of law. Which means our freedoms are constrained by the Constitution, by the body of laws that are enacted over time and by the legal decisions of experts about the meaning of those laws. Under the Constitution, the ultimate authority of the meaning and force of law is the Supreme Court of Canada, an independent panel of judges appointed by the governor general on the ad-vice of the prime minister.

The laws are drafted by the people’s representa-tives, usually at the direction of the government, which is drawn from the body of representatives and which remains in office only with the support of a majority of those representatives — this is why we call our system a responsible representative par-liamentary democracy.

A law passed by the popularly elected House of Commons must also pass the Senate, which repre-sents regions of the country. This is because Canada was formed as a confederation of disparate regions; it is not a cyborg collective with a single mindset.

Senators are appointed from the regions, also by the governor general on the advice of the prime minister, according to the numbers defined in the Constitution.

If the Senate is a mess of political hacks then there is only one person to blame — the prime min-ister.

The quality of the Senate is a direct reflection of the ability of our various prime ministers to judge character and to govern.

We need fixed-route transit first

It is very encouraging to see that the councils are addressing public transit in a serious way. It is a very important need for Lunenburg County.

However, my strong opinion is that the fixed-route transit should be the first priority. The issue of dial-a-ride should be separate and secondary. Combining the two would be a mistake. Customers would not be able to rely on the journey time if one or more de-tours for dial-a-ride delayed the trip.

Neighbours and friends can take people to a fixed-route transit stop and pick them up on their return. For disabled and elderly people, the VON and other growing services, such as Helping Hands in the Ma-hone Bay area, can respond to their special needs. These services can expand their coverage of the county as they grow.

Let’s get a fixed-route transit system in place first.DICK CRAWFORD

Municipalities should live within their means

The last number of years we have seen our property assessments jump causing financial hardship for residents until the assessment

cap was introduced. Many municipalities are now complaining that the assessment cap is too restrictive for their income needs and are looking to end the cap on taxable properties.

Chester Municipality wants to link the sewer rate to the assessment values when the Municipal Gov-ernment Act, Section 75 (4)(b) allows “council may, in lieu of levying an area rate, levy a uniform charge on each dwelling unit, in the area.” A uniform charge per dwelling unit would generate sufficient cash to provide the municipality with adequate resources to fund their needs, but would control the tax increases that will inevitably follow when the municipalities achieve their goal of repealing the assessment cap.

It’s time to control these cash grabs and make the municipality live within its means. We, as taxpayers, have to do so.

DAVID FOLEYChester

Taxpayers mustforce politicians

to act now

The editorial “Municipal reform can wait no longer” in the April 8, 2014, Progress Bulletin was well stated. The Regional Governance

and Shared Service Review report was presented across the county in late January 2012. Since then, the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg (MODL), Bridgewater and Mahone Bay established the Municipal Joint Services Board in April 2013. It now manages the community recycling centre for the three municipalities. While it was initially envi-sioned to share services for recreation, economic de-velopment and possibly various technical services, it became difficult to marshal the vision, will, and energies of the separate municipalities toward a more common goal. This is disappointing.

Stacey Colwell’s editorial noted that Lunenburg County is over-governed. In fact, Lunenburg County has 47,313 residents according to the 2011 census, with 41 elected officials — thus 1,152 residents per elected official. The county encompasses 2,910 square kilometres, so each elected official covers an average area of 71 square kilometres. Compare this to Queens Regional Municipality, with 25 per cent of Lunenburg County’s population and two-thirds of the land area, where there are 1,820 residents per elected official and 399 kilometres per elected of-ficial.

The other municipalities in Lunenburg County have widely differing numbers. The number of resi-dents per elected official and average square kilome-tres per elected official for these communities are: Bridgewater: 1,177 — 2; Chester municipality: 1,514 — 160; Town of Lunenburg: 330, — 1; Mahone Bay: 135 — .4; and MODL: 1,932 — 135.

Compare this to other Maritime communities: Moncton: 6,279, — 13; Fredericton: 4,325 — 10; Cape Breton Regional Municipality: 7,492 — 333.

What is it with the Town of Lunenburg where 330 residents, maybe 100 households, support elected of-ficials and all of the associated administration and services that go with it? It boggles the mind.

It is high time for business and taxpayers to join forces and press the politicians for more action.

JENS LAURSENRiverport

You be the judge

As everyone knows the LCLC is now open and, whether you supported it or not, it is a nice building. I recommend everyone pay a visit,

if only to see what you are paying for.While many are basking in the glory of its comple-

tion and a few are patting themselves on the back, perhaps we should have a reality check so we can un-derstand what has happened.

We were originally, and until early this year, told the following. The building would cost $34 mil-lion. There would be an annual operating deficit of $380,000 to $400,000. The capital contribution by Mu-nicipality of Lunenburg (MODL) would be $3.85 mil-lion. The contribution would be paid with a special levy of 2.5 cents per $100 of assessment on your tax bill.

The reality is as follows. The building cost $37.6 million. We have not been told what the cost overrun was spent on. The annual operating deficit is $653,000. The operating deficit has been pre-authorized for this year. The capital contribution by MODL is $6,766.

The capital includes our original contribution, a share of the cost overruns, a share of the floor cover costs, and funding — it’s being called a loan — a share of the hoped for donations which have not been pledged or realized yet. We are told the “loan” will be repaid sometime, through your future donations.

MODL’s contribution is roughly $3 million more than we were told it would be. Will the special tax be increased or run for a longer time?

Given that our operating deficit is pre-approved to be almost double the original estimate, do you think that is as large as the deficit will get?

Other than pre-approving operating deficits, what are our mayor and council doing to stem the flow of tax dollars?

Why don’t you tell our mayor and councillors how well this project has been managed and supervised?

Bill C-23 must be withdrawn

Fair elections are the cornerstone of our de-mocracy. However, I must admit that, in the past, I never gave it much thought. I always

had a sense of accomplishment after voting but that is where it ended. This changed for me after the May 2011 federal election with the robocalls scandal and it intensified with the introduction of Bill C-23, the Fair Elections Act.

It has been less than three months since the Min-ister for Democratic Reform tabled this legislation in Parliament and it is an understatement to say that it has had a rough ride. It quickly became clear that the minister had done little, if any, consultation and that the intent of this legislation was not to promote fair elections, but to give the Conservative government an advantage in the 2015 election.

The first significant problem was the process. Rather than having a robust debate in Parliament, the Conservative government quickly evoked closure. Soon after this, Bill C-23 passed second reading and it was sent to committee for review. Canadians were told that the Fair Elections Act would get a thorough analysis and that it was their responsibility to pro-pose amendments. The opposition proposed that the committee hold hearings across the country so that all Canadians would have the opportunity to express their views regarding this bill. Other parliamentary committees have done just this. The Conservatives said no.

I knew that I had to do something. It was impor-tant to me to have a voice, but my options were lim-ited. I had already written letters in our local paper. Another option was to express my concerns to my member of parliament but Conservative MP Gerald Keddy has consistently refused to meet with me or to answer even simple questions. I was frustrated and angry that there was no apparent avenue by which I could discuss the problems that I saw with Bill C-23. Suddenly, there was another option. I decided to make a written submission to this committee and to ask to appear as a witness. This happened on Febru-ary 14, 2014. I was told that each committee member would get a copy of my submission and that I would be notified if I was selected to appear.

I continued to follow this debate. Two very differ-ent perspectives emerged. The minister and other Conservative MPs consistently stated that it was a “great” bill and that it would ensure fair elections. On the other side, there were well respected people who were adamant that this legislation was deeply flawed. These included the chief electoral officer, Marc Mayrand, former CEO Jean-Pierre Kingsley, Harry Neufeld, former auditor-general Sheila Fraser, as well as over 150 Canadian and international ex-perts in constitutional democracy. A diverse group of agencies and organizations have also expressed their opposition to Bill C-23.

I appeared before this committee on April 8. I had the opportunity to discuss my concerns as well as answer questions from some of the committee mem-bers. CBC’s Kady O’Malley also covered it live on Twitter which allowed it to reach a wider audience. Many Canadians have been robbed of this opportu-nity because of the rush to pass this legislation and the limitations in the process. This is not democracy.

Therefore, Bill C-23 must be withdrawn. There is a definite need for electoral reform but there must be a comprehensive and consultative process. Canadians want to be involved in this very important debate.

KEITH LANTHIERLunenburg

The way to reform the Senate is clear and requires no constitutional amendment — the prime minister should appoint better senators and the Senate should act independently of the government, in order to make sure our laws are effective and constitutional before they are passed.

If the prime minister is doing a bad job of ap-pointing senators, then the prime minister should be reined in by the members of parliament — by the democratically elected representatives of the people. It’s not appropriate to just destroy the evidence.

After all, each member of parliament did run in an election to be a representative, in order to form a government for us and to hold that government and its prime minister responsible.

BRIDGEWATER — The Canadian Blood Services and Canadian Bone Mar-row Registry will be at Bridgewater High on May 21 doing blood typing and reg-istering people to become bone marrow donors.

The blood typing runs from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and the bone marrow registry runs from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The school is looking for volunteers to help with the event.

To register as a bone marrow donor, people must be between the ages of 17 and 35.

The school is trying to raise awareness of and participation in blood donation. It’s easy, it doesn’t cost anything and it’s open to anyone who wants to drop in, not just students, administrative assistant Sherry Hubley said.

“Just do it, because it could be your sister, it could be your mother, it could be anybody. It’s just so simple. We have stag-nated at the number of people who are donating blood. They are becoming more efficient at using it, but we still need more donors,” she said.

Greg Lewis was a student at the school when he passed away from leukemia on May 21, 2013. Prior to his death, the school had arranged for Canadian Blood Services to do blood typing for awareness. Following his death, they decided to make it an annual event.

Students and staff are realizing how many family or friends have needed blood, continue to need blood or use Canadian Blood Services for another reason, said guid-ance counsellor Julie Lohnes.

“You never know and the need is there from Canadian Blood Services,” she said.

No one will donate on May 21, as it is strictly an awareness event.

“They’ll prick your finger and tell you your blood type right there if you don’t know. It takes about five minutes to do that. They do cheek swabs for the bone marrow

registry and, overall, I think that process with the pa-perwork and everything is 20 minutes. Then you’re done. You may never get a call to be a bone marrow donor, but you might,” Ms Hubley said.

The school would probably not be doing it if Greg hadn’t passed away, she added.

“Now, because we want to continue with the awareness, we’re doing this in his mem-ory.”

A lot of people will also be wearing yellow that day, because it was Greg’s favourite co-lour and he wore yellow everyday, Ms Lohnes said.

“We do want to make sure everyone is aware that this is open to the community, so

this is one way the school is opening up and wanting the community to help us. It’s going to be a really great day, we hope, and we really want to promote awareness of blood-typing and blood donation,” she said.

It’s a very easy process for those people that choose to do it, she added.

“It will all be set up in the lobby area, so there will be plenty of volunteers and signage. As soon as you walk in the school,

that’s what our focus is that day.”People can feel free to drop in as there are no appoint-

ments. Anyone wishing to volunteer at the event, can call the school.

Communities mark Earth Day

From New Germany to Bridge-water to Kingsburg and points in between, citizens

donned gloves and carried garbage bags into the great outdoors last week to engage in mass garbage clean-ups.

Whether the focus was parkland, school properties or roadsides, people turfed as much trash as pos-sible, part of an annual environ-mental action, known as Earth Day, with the goal of making communi-ties greener.

Earth Day, technically, is April 22, but the clean-up activities pic-tured took place the following day, April 23.

B2 Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin, Wednesday, April 30, 2014 www.southshorenow.ca


LUNENBURG — Council here has referred a fund-ing request for an initiative dubbed Events Lunenburg County to the budget process for consideration.

At council’s April 22 meeting, Bridgewater Councillor Andrew Tanner pitched the organization the mandate of which is to make the South Shore a meetings and events destination.

Councillor Tanner told his Lunenburg counterparts the idea for Events Lunenburg County started early in 2013 when Bridgewater Mayor David Walker and a group of citizens and councillors sat down with representa-tives from Events Nova Scotia to talk about the general

concept of such an initiative.“It’s an events organization very similar to what

Liverpool is doing and other municipalities have done,” Councillor Tanner explained.

Last November, a group of four councillors from Bridgewater and the Municipality of Lunenburg met to define the general concept.

Further meetings were held in December and Jan-uary with additional invitees, including Lunenburg Mayor Rachel Bailey and Mahone Bay Mayor Joe Feeney, as well as industry representatives.

“At that time, we talked about, in order to make this go any further, we need to define terms of reference, who we are, what we want to achieve and so on,” he explained.

The goal of the organization moving forward is to be industry-led and begin bidding on events selected by the group and supporting local volunteer groups who wish to host events in our area.

It will strive to establish an asset map and guide for event and meeting planners, a fund to support bids for major events, including cultural, business and sport events and meetings, marketing and promotion of the region as a meeting and events destination, and devel-opment of a year-round economy through conventions, meetings and events.

Being newly formed, the majority of the initiatives are presently related to start up and infrastructure re-quirements for the organization. As well, initial invest-ment will be required from local government to ensure a successful launch.

The organization will be comprised of 12 board mem-bers. Four will make up the executive and must be indus-

try representatives, facility managers or economic devel-opment officers.

Five board mem-bers will be elected officials, staff mem-bers or members of the public ap-pointed by each of the municipal units in the county. The remaining mem-bers may be any-one interested in promoting meeting and events in the county.

Mr. Tanner said everyone who at-tended the meetings to date has agreed the initiative must

be industry-led as “they’re the ones that are going to benefit from it.

“And everyone I’ve talked to … has said the organiza-tion is desperately needed in the area. We’re not doing enough to attract those conferences, sporting events … that are going to spend money in our region,” he ex-plained. “The other big thing is that nobody has taken on this role, so I’m pushing it.”

The organization is looking for funding from the five municipal units to employ a part-time staff person and to develop a web page and asset map to determine what facilities are available in the region.

Council voted to support the proposal with the town’s share of the $22,363 start-up budget to be determined during the budget process.

Teachers earn provincial awardsEducators honoured for encouraging students to be active in communities


NEW GERMANY — A pair of South Shore teachers received prestigious Nova Scotia Education Week awards during a ceremony in Bedford last week.

“[Julie] Ramey and [Krystal] Snyder are shining examples of teachers work-ing with their students to understand so-cial responsibility and citizenship. These lessons go beyond the standard curricu-lum and help to shape mindful, empa-thetic and kind people,” said South Shore Regional School Board superintendent Geoff Cainen.

“The extra work done by teachers like Ms Ramey and Ms Snyder is invalu-able and contrib-utes to student suc-cess.”

The pair were among 23 teachers honoured for en-couraging students to be active in their communities and to recognize the in-fluential role they can have.

Ms Snyder has taught Grade Primary at New Germany Elementary School for two decades.

“Krystal embodies active citizenship and encourages all students (even prima-ries) to be involved in school and commu-nity activities,” said a testimonial on the Department of Education website.

“She works with students during her lunch break to hear their voices and in-cludes them in planning and organizing school-wide special events and activities that matter most to students. She has sup-ported numerous students to participate in activities that raise awareness about hunger in our community, bullying, em-pathy for others, to name a few.”

Ms Snyder also participates in the school’s student voices committee for older kids.

“She does this because she cares about fostering leadership and giving students a voice, not just in her own class, but in the school at large.”

The testimonial described her as genu-inely empathetic, always calm and wel-coming, caring and kind, hardworking, and a collaborative thinker and worker.

“She is a teacher who is always think-ing about opportunities for students to learn; bringing work home and planning every minute of every day with the well-being of children in mind. She seam-lessly weaves active citizenship within the very fabric of the learning experience of children — all of the children, in fact, the school.

“New Germany students and commu-nities love Krystal Snyder. She is making a difference. She teaches active citizen-

ship by embodying this philosophy and modelling to students that what we do does matter; she gets involved and makes a differ-ence.”

Meanwhile, Ms Ramey leads the North Queens Com-munity School so-cial justice group.

“Her students participated in ‘We Day’ in Halifax, are

now fundraising to build a school in Mexico, and hosted a 30-hour Famine event at their school,” said a release from the board.

“In her role as a social studies and Eng-lish teacher, Ms Ramey has incorporated lessons on social injustices, asking her students to brainstorm possible solutions to prevalent social problems.”

Both teachers were nominated by staff at their respective schools.

The awards were presented by Educa-tion Minister Karen Casey and Lt.-Gov. J.J. Grant on April 22.

Education Week is a co-operative ini-tiative between the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, the Nova Scotia School Boards As-sociation, the Nova Scotia Federation of Home and School Associations, la Fédéra-tion des parents acadiens de la Nouvelle-Écosse, the Association of Nova Scotia Educational Administrators and the De-partment of Education.

Education Minister Karen Casey and Lt.-Gov. J.J. Grant presented New Germany Rural High School teacher Krystal Snyder, centre, with an Education Week award during an April 22 ceremony in Bedford.

“The extra work done by teachers like Ms Ramey

and Ms Snyder is invaluable and contributes to student

success.”Geoff Cainen

Senator Wilfred Mooreto be awarded honourary doctorate


LUNENBURG — Senator Wilfred Moore has been named a recipient of an honorary doctorate of fine arts degree from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design [NSCAD] in Halifax.

Senator Moore, who was appointed to the Ca-nadian Senate in 1996, will receive his accolade during the univer-sity’s graduation ceremony May 17.

In a press re-lease, NSCAD director of com-munications Mari-lyn Smulder said Senator Moore has been a good friend and supporter of the school for many years.

“He was instru-mental in creat-ing the NSCAD-Lunenburg com-munity studio residency,” she said. “Now in its eighth year, this program allows recent NSCAD grads to develop their artistic practice in their own studio space. Over the years, many former residents have chosen to continue living and work-ing in Lunenburg, and the program has become a model for NSCAD residencies in other Nova Scotia communities, including New Glasgow, Sydney and Dartmouth.”

Senator Moore, who represents the South Shore in the Upper Chamber, has an undergraduate de-gree and an honorary degree from Saint Mary’s

University, as well as a law de-gree from Dalhousie University.

His areas of interest include

Concert series moves to Cecilia’s Retreat

Musique Royale continues its series Cookie Concerts: Music for All Ages on May 3.

The third concert features award-winning Francophone accordion legend Steve Normandin and the versatile vocal talents of Cynthia Myers.

While the concerts are usually held in Lunenburg, this performance will move to Cecilia’s Retreat on the Oakland Road.

Fans of Mr. Normandin know to expect renditions of traditional chansons from France and Québec, enlivened by touches of jazz and swing, and performed with a uniquely theatrical flair.

Equally accomplished as an instru-

mentalist and as a songwriter, Mr. Nor-mandin has appeared as a soloist with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, and toured internationally with a host of musical projects and theatrical productions.

Ms Myers is a vocalist, writer, and actor who has performed as a musical theatre actress on stages and in clubs with various jazz combos in both Canada and the U.S.

Ms Myers is a five-time veteran of the fringe festival having worked both in the Victoria and the Seattle festivals. When not on stage, she writes musicals for children and develops curriculum for the Chester Playhouse After School Program.

Drama students to stage ‘Out of Lunenburg’


Grade 7, 8 and 9 students enrolled in the drama program at Bluenose Acad-emy need your help.

This coming June, the group will present three performances of the mu-sical “Out of Lunenburg,” which was co-written by Jim and Laura Bennett and Nancy Marshall and originally staged at the Spatz Theatre in Halifax back in 2012.

Set in the UNESCO World Heritage town in 1925, the story involves the adventures of the crew of the fiction-al schooner Maggie B, and their land-based family and friends.

It explores the lives of the women, friends and family at home in compari-son to the lives of the men at sea.

The script contains lots of interest-ing and humorous dialogue as well as many unique characters.

Teacher Angela Lake says the pro-duction is part of the school’s inqui-ry-based learning program and is a student-driven course.

“It’s not the typical director-driven play,” Ms Lake says. “The students have been building their own sets, they’ve been developing their own characters, they’ve been assessing and kind of pro-ducing it amongst themselves. I’m just there as the facilitator to make sure it all comes through in the end.”

Ms Lake says that what the students are looking for is support from the com-munity in the form of a small chorus to support the music in the show, as well as strings and woodwind players to join an orchestra to provide the music.

“Once I get a group, we will decide on rehearsal times, but it’s not … going to be a huge life commitment. We’re going to meet a few times and then decide how often we need to continue to meet,” she explains. “We’re just there to support the kids in a relaxed, fun kind of way.”

The show will be staged at Bluenose Academy June 10, 11 and 12, with re-hearsals taking place from mid to late May.

For more information contact the school.

ABOUT TO GET

Burt Wathen, artistic director of the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance, is excited about the line-up of talent that is coming to teach at the school this fall.

Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance releases fall schedule

Lighting LAMP


“We are announcing the lighting of the LAMP.”

With those words last week, artistic director Burt Wathen officially opened the Lunenburg Academy of Music Per-formance [LAMP] and what he, and many others, hope will be a long and successful tenure at the historic Lunenburg Acad-emy.

The brainchild of Mr. Wathen, the con-cept of LAMP was originally floated back in September of 2012 as a non-profit or-ganization that would serve as a music school for post-graduate students.

The idea was to base the school at Lunenburg Academy, which had been va-cated by the South Shore Regional School Board as a public education venue in March of that year and was then turned over to the town.

Both town council and the Academy Foun-dation, a non-profit so-ciety that raises funds to help look after the building, were recep-tive to Mr. Wathen’s idea, which originally entailed raising $800,000 for start-up costs and a $1.6 million a year oper-ating budget.

At that time, he said positive responses had been received from two Canadian corporations as potential sponsors, but those sources ulti-mately fell through.

Last fall, however, LAMP flickered back to life when numer-ous pledges of financial support came from the local community, including major donations from Gunther and Susan Reibling, owners of Stellar Investments, as well as High Liner Foods.

Last week, Mr. Wathen announced the line-up for the school’s first semester, which will begin October 13 and run through December.

“We are opening our doors to the world and we are starting our fall semester with the Rossini Opera Academy. Running that academy is Maestro Alberto Zedda who is the Godfather of the Rossini Renais-sance,” Mr. Wathen explained. “He is the music director of the Rossini Opera Festival, one of the most important sum-mer festivals in Europe. He is Mr. Rossini and he has agreed to come here, which is fantastic.”

He said to his knowledge, Mr. Zedda has never taught in North America “and he certainly has never done a two-week academy, so, that we have managed to get Maestro Zedda, we are very, very happy.

“The results were almost immediate. We had 140 singers audition for us in Italy before I left for 14 positions,” he said. “These 140 young professional sing-ers who want to come to Lunenburg and work with Maestro Zedda came from 27 different countries and four continents, so the response was overwhelming and fantastic, and we’re very excited about that.”

Those 14 singers, which include a pair

of Canadians, will study under Maestro Zedda for two weeks after which time they will present two performances of early Rossini works in concert form — the Venetian farce “L’Inganno Felice,” and a reduced version of “Tancredi,” his first major serious opera.

“The dress rehearsal of the farce we are offering free of charge to school chil-dren in the area and the dress rehears-al for Tancredi we are offering free of charge to workers in the area,” Mr. Wa-than said.

Following the Rossini Academy, the season continues with a line-up of master weekends that feature some of the finest and most sought after Canadian and in-ternational performing artists.

They include prominent American jazz pianist Uri Caine; Canadian compos-er, producer and renowned jazz bassist Roberto Occhipinti; highly sought after Irish-Canadian drummer Mark Kelso;

and the Gryphon Trio, Juno Award winners who have also been winners of the $50,000 Walter Carson Prize.

Also appearing and making a return to their Nova Scotia roots will be internationally acclaimed flutist, com-poser and conductor Robert Aitken and Wal-ter Delahunt, who will be the school’s pianist-in-residence.

“Lastly, LAMP will introduce the Afiara Quartet, special guests of Bob Aitken and

rising stars on the international music scene,” Mr. Wathen said.

During the course of the first semes-ter, LAMP has committed to performing seven, 40-minute concerts for the resi-dents at Harbour View Haven Home for Special Care.

“That’s really exciting for me because outreach for us is as important as every-thing else … that the community knows we’re here, they get used to us being here and we serve the community, ” Mr. Wathen said, adding that programs are also in the works for students at Bluenose Academy and children at Lunenburg Day Care. “We’re not going to be up here on the hill, isolated in our ivory tower. That just makes no sense.”

LAMP will conclude its first session with an international string quartet competition in December, the winner of which will be offered a 22-week residency in Lunenburg.

Although not yet signed, Mr. Wathen said a lease agreement for the Lunenburg Academy to cover the first semester has been worked out with the town and an extended lease is hoped for in the near future.

Roxie Smith, president of the Academy Foundation, said that group is thrilled that LAMP has become part of the be-loved building.

“We look forward to the day when Acad-emy halls will be filled with the sound of music. We are happy that LAMP’s dreams will now become a reality,” she said.

“We look forward to the day when Academy halls will be filled with the sound of music. We are happy that LAMP’s

New artist at mini galleryA new exhibit is open in the Mini Art

Gallery in the Mahone Nursing Home in Mahone Bay, featuring artist Susan Joy Chevalier.

Born in Vancouver, Ms Chevalier was drawn to the world of art while in high school, but was not able to pursue that avenue because she grew up in a min-ing town in northern Ontario where the focus was on women taking on more tra-ditional roles. She became active in water colour art when her two girls were born and she painted many cartoon characters to hang under plexiglas. It was not until her retirement that she found her way back to art. Her whimsical fish have been encouraged as she entered the artistic community of Lunenburg.

Her first entry into the art world was through the Lunenburg Art Gallery under the Fishnish label, which began in 2013. Her inspiration came from her daughter Jenna who is a graduate art-ist. Jenna made a large long dish with a prehistoric fish on the inside. This dish is called the “Fishdish.”

Ms Chevalier now resides in Bridge-water and enjoys living every day by the beautiful LaHave River. Her show will run until May 23.

In addition, there are works by several other local artists whose style, subject matter and choice of medium is varied.

A portion of the proceeds is gener-ously contributed to the hospital.

The Shoreline Gallery is staffed by volunteers, both desk crew and those who come each month to mount the art work. It offers a venue for well-known local art-ists and encourages newer and beginning artists to participate.

Outstanding performances at finale concertIn keeping with past years’ traditions, the 42nd Annual

This event brought together on one stage, from across all the vocal and instrumental disciplines, those participants whom the festival adjudicators determined to have been the most accomplished and deserving of awards or scholarships.

A LITTLE BIT MORE

Lovage, a leafy green plant that comes up early in the spring, has been a prized addition to human

diets for centuries. Charlemagne sang its praises as a staple in royal gardens. It seems to have fallen out of favour in recent decades, however, which is a shame. I invite you to explore this heri-tage vegetable and discover its delights for yourself.

Related to celery, lovage has a simi-lar taste and can be used in much the same way. The stalks make an excellent addition to the stock pot, while leaves are good cooked with lentils, potatoes, peas, beans, chicken and fish, or finely chopped in a salad. What’s more, you don’t need to limit your lovage use to the kitchen — try a sachet of equal parts rosemary and lovage in your bath to treat your senses.

I buy my lovage from Rumtopf Farm at the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market. I most often use the leaves to make lovage salt (recipe below) and the stalks — well, in our house they tend to end up as pea shooters when they don’t go in the stock pot, but the best-known traditional use for a lovage stem is as a straw in a Bloody Mary.Lovage Salt

I use this salt in just about every sa-voury dish from May until September. In September, I make celery salt using the same method, then rely on it as my main savoury salt until the following May.

Yield: About 1 cupIngredients:

• ¾ cup sea salt• 2 cups stemmed and roughly

chopped lovage leavesDirections:Combine salt and lovage on a cutting

board and mince, continually mixing them together as you work with the knife. Spread mixture on a baking sheet and leave in a warm, dry place for 2 to 3 days, stirring occasionally, until com-pletely dry. Store in closed containers.Lovage ChickenIngredients:

• 1 big handful lovage, both stems and leaves

• 1 lemon, sliced into 4-6 pieces• 2 chicken breasts, with skin and

bone-in• 2 large or 3 medium potatoes,

chopped into bite-sized pieces• 1 onion, finely chopped• 2 large or 3 medium carrots, chopped

into bite-sized pieces• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Lovage salt.

Musique Royale presents the National Youth Choir of Canada


The National Youth Choir of Canada will perform “Canadian Choralscapes: From Sea to Sea” at St. John’s Anglican Church, Lunenburg, May 11 at 7:30 p.m.

The choir is made up of singers between the ages of 18 and 25 who are selected every two years through audi-tions held across the country.

Founded in 1984, the choir has won critical acclaim since its inception and has been led by some of Canada’s fin-est choral conductors, including icons such as Elmer Iseler, Diane Loomer and Jon Washburn.

This year’s ensemble is under the di-rection of Dr. Hilary Apfelstadt, direc-tor of choral program at the University of Toronto.

Dr. Apfelstadt has directed many honour choirs and all-state choruses throughout the U.S. and has guest con-ducted in Canada, Cuba and England.

In February of 2009, she directed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in a public broadcast of “Music and the Spoken Word.”

She has led choral festivals in Swit-zerland and Austria, conducted at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and is a fre-quent lecturer and clinician at pro-fessional conferences and universities, serving as mentor to many young con-ductors and choral educators.

“Canadian Choralscapes: From Sea to Sea” highlights sacred texts, art music and colourful arrangements of folk songs from across the country.

Music includes works by Imant Raminsh and Healy Willan, Nancy Telf-er, Eleanor Daley, Donald Patriquin, Mark Sirett and Stephen Chatman.

This year marks the 30th anniver-sary of the founding of the choir and, as part of those festivities, the group is touring Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

RCMP single outpriorities for 2014performance plan


LUNENBURG — The Town of Lunen-burg is a pretty safe community.

That’s the opinion of RCMP Cpl. Bill Wilcox who is in charge of policing for the town.

Cpl. Wilcox recently presented the RCMP’s annual report to council, a docu-ment that, while showing a slight in-crease in the numbers of calls to police in 2013 compared to 2012, still boasts sig-nificantly low crime statistics.

While that may be the case, Cpl. Wil-cox told council that some steps are being implemented in the Lunenburg RCMP’s annual performance plan that should help make the community even safer.

“We’re always looking for input from our clients as to what the Town of Lunenburg would be looking for,” Cpl. Wilcox told council. “Briefly, the annual performance plan is division driven by the RCMP. There’s always a few crime initiatives that are sent down from Halifax and dictated to us that these will be priorities for you. But we also like to get out into the com-munity and see what their priorities are, as well.”

One of the big issues for this year’s performance plan that will affect Lunen-burgers is road safety.

“What they’re looking for this year is an increase in checkpoints, so you might see a few more [of them] around town,” he said. “We’re also looking to increase seven-day suspensions to people that are drinking and driving, as well the division wants to see more roadside tests given to

people who have been drinking and are out on the road.”

A second big issue that the division is pushing is that of cyberbullying.

“So for our district, for instance, one of things we want to do, because these investigations can be complicated, ev-erything from text messaging to using the social networks … is to educate the kids at the schools about cyberbullying and all the bad stuff they can get into,” Cpl. Wilcox explained. “As well, it is our

goal within the divi-sion to train more members, including members in this dis-trict, for investigat-ing those types of crimes.”

He said that be-cause of the com-plexity of most cy-berbullying cases, search warrants and production orders with communica-tions companies are required.

“They’re not the kinds of investigations you can finish in a few hours,” he said. “It sometimes takes weeks to do them and they require some specialized training.”

The third issue police will be increas-ing their focus on in the coming year involves the ongoing problem of drug enforcement.

Cpl. Wilcox also said the RCMP have recently changed their radio systems so that their transmissions are now en-crypted and the public will no longer be able to pick up their conversations using scanners.

“That’s a big officer safety issue for us, people know when we’re coming and what we’re doing,” he said. “So now no-body should be able to hear what we’re talking about or what calls we’re attend-ing.”

“We’re always lookingfor input from our clients as to what the Town of Lunenburg would be

looking for.”Cpl. Bill Wilcox

Course offers insight on living aloneBy ROBERT [email protected]

COUNTY — VON Lunenburg County is presenting a five-week program aimed at adults enti-tled Living Alone.

“The intention is to help people gain some knowledge on what they need to know to pre-pare to live alone in the event that a loved one passes away,” explains Leslie Taylor, the VON’s coordinator of community support. “Unfor-tunately, things happen and spouses get left to deal with things all the time. They may never have been the person to deal with the financial component of the relationship or the legal component, that sort of thing.”

Ms Taylor said that a number of speakers will be brought in to address a variety of topics starting off with a grief and loss session.

“Sometimes participants are in the grieving process, whether it’s through death, divorce, they had been cohabiting, maybe a caregiver for a child or a parent, that sort of thing,” she explains. “We look at legal aspects, how to set up a will. We’ll talk a little bit about probate and those sorts of things. We’ll talk about banking and best safe banking

practices as a couple then as an individual.”

RCMP Cst. George Wooten will be one of the speakers and will address the issue of safety in the community and in the home.

Seniors safety coordinator Beth George and Ms Taylor will join forces in a presentation on seniors’ rights and being asser-tive.

“And we have someone com-ing in to talk about organizing and downsizing your house, and that’s followed up by a lady who will speak about assistance programs for retrofit-ting and modifying homes,” Ms Taylor adds.

The program will be held each Thursday after-noon from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Lunenburg fire hall beginning May 8.

To register, contact the VON office.

“Unfortunately, things happen and spouses get left to deal with things

all the time.”Leslie Taylor

University student aims to start

recreation program at hospital


BRIDGEWATER — A Lunenburg County woman studying psychology at an Ontario university hopes to start a recreation program in Bridgewater next month designed to keep patients minds and bodies more active during long hospital stays.

“There’s a really important connection between social in-teraction and health, particularly for seniors,” said Sophie Church, who’s in her second year of psych studies at Queens

University. “Through this recreation program, I’m hoping to improve the quality of care of the long-term patients at South Shore Regional and also their mental and physical health.”

Goals in launching the project include recruit-ing volunteers of all ages who can give about three hours a week doing ac-tivities with the patients, such as playing board games, cards or bingo, or doing crafts or reading

aloud.“I’m also hoping to hear from the patients themselves as to

what their interests are and what they see the needs to be,” the 2012 Kings Edgehill graduate added, “so that I can plan ac-tivities around that and develop the program to best suit their individual needs.”

Ms Church is considering furthering her studies by going into the field of medicine.

South Shore Health welcomes donations such as playing cards, board games and craft supplies. The volunteer services office at South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater is ready to accept such gifts. The address is 90 Glen Allan Drive, located on Bridgewater’s east side.

There’s a chance individual and group activities will be organized, depending on the interests of patients and the avail-ability of any unpaid help.

“If successful, the program could be expanded to other areas of the hospital and across the district,” South Shore Health said in a statement.

Anyone willing to pitch in is asked to get in touch with South Shore Health’s volunteer services coordinator, Judy Miller, via email at [email protected].

“I’m also hoping to hear from the patients themselves as to what

their interests are and what they see the needs to be.”

Babee the cat marksmilestone birthday


Barry Parks, left, and Reg Gibson in East LaHave with Babee the cat.


EAST LAHAVE — The beloved Sia-mese feline, Babee, belonging to owners Barry Parks and Reg Gibson, celebrated an epic milestone last week in terms of cat years and human years.

The meower had a specially-made small cake and donned a party hat to mark his 20th birthday which, in human years, puts his age at, or very close to, 100.

Shoppers who fre-quented a gift and decor shop in Lunen-burg would recall Babee as the store’s longtime centre of attention.

Mr. Parks and Mr. Gibson, who split time between Halifax and East LaHave, took in Babee about eight years ago after having lost one of two Siamese cats they had for pets at home.

Babee got along just fine with the pair’s existing cat. The joke was that

Babee, who was already well into her senior years, had found the purrfect kitty retirement home.

“He’s just a laid-back, good-natured Siamese cat,” Mr. Parks explained of their precious indoor pet.

The idea of throwing a party for Babee was first mentioned in jest but, consider-ing the cat’s advanced age and health prob-lems, Mr. Gibson and Mr. Parks figured treating the animal to a bash was a nice touch.

They bought a small cake adorned with a 100th birthday trinket and outfitted

Babee with a party hat.Mr. Parks talked about Babee and the

need to throw a party in a video that can be viewed at southshorenow.ca.

Babee still plays lots and is very ac-tive during the evening hours, Mr. Parks said, and the cat typically likes sleeping between his co-owners.

Red Cross seeking fundsfor disaster relief

Municipalities asked to contributeto volunteer effort


COUNTY — Representatives from the Canadian Red Cross made a presenta-tion before Lunenburg municipal council April 22 requesting $50,000 over five years as part of $3 million prepared campaign.

Colin MacDonald, chair of the cam-paign, and Ismael Aquino, provincial di-rector for the Red Cross, were there on behalf of the organization.

The campaign was officially launched last year when the province gave $800,000 to support the program. Halifax Regional Municipality kicked in $300,000 and $1.6 million has been raised from private do-nors.

With over $2.6 million already commit-ted, the Red Cross hopes to raise the rest of the money from the remainder of the province’s 54 municipalities.

The frequency of disasters is increas-ing in the province, as in the rest of the world, and the Red Cross needs to be brought into the twenty-first century, Mr. MacDonald said.

“We need better training facilities, be-cause volunteers have a shelf life to them. We need better facilities to coordinate ac-tivities, we need a new emergency vehicle for the province and we need to reposition supplies around the province more vigor-ously than we have in the past, because the frequency of disasters is increasing.”

“Now we’re just going out and raising funds from the other municipalities, so we’re here. This was the first one we’ve made a presentation to the actual council, but we made a presentation to the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities.”

Another thing is the level of skill re-quired for volunteers because the orga-nization expects them to be able to do a lot more. things, including coordination,

human resources and logistics, Mr Aqui-no said.

“Governments can’t afford to have peo-ple on call 24/7. Here we have volunteers who are giving their time to be ready to respond at three o’clock in the morn-ing. That’s the premise around this. The technology is the piece that is going to be able to reach out to all of the province,” he said.

This means you don’t have to bring volunteers into Halifax to be trained and they don’t have to go out on a mobile training session around the province, Mr. MacDonald said.

“Being a volunteer in a disaster takes certain skills and awareness. People burn out fast. Especially someone who doesn’t have any training to deal with disasters, you go into a disaster situation and you’re all over the place,” he said.

“When you’re properly trained, you have a role to play, so you go in and play that role. You don’t deal with all the other stuff. You play your role and there’s an es-sential coordinator there who’s marshal-ing the troops, much like the army. With-out adequate preparation and training, you just don’t have the ability to respond to disasters.”

Another concern is Nova Scotia’s aging population, especially in rural areas, Mr. Aquino said.

“We’ve got a lot of vulnerable people in the rural communities. They’re getting older and it’s important we have the abil-ity to take care of that vulnerable popula-tion. We just want the municipalities to be prepared.”

“The municipalities couldn’t pay for this service. The province couldn’t pay for it. You’re getting people to work for free, but you can’t send them in there without the shovels to do the work,” Mr. MacDon-ald said.

“He’s just a laid-back, good-naturedSiamese cat.”

Mental health drop-in started in Bridgewater

Program offers support for ages 18 to 30By LUKE KENNY

[email protected]

COUNTY — Two adult community support workers from Bridgewater have partnered with Laing House in Halifax to open a new drop-in centre for people 18 to 30 who struggle with mental health issues.

Shayne Brown and Jeremy Good-win work for South Shore Health in community support service doing case management services for clients in the community. They provide supportive counselling and assistance in helping clients achieve goals and needs in areas such as housing, work and volunteer-ing, finances, schooling and relationships.

“We go out in the community and work with people 18 plus who battle severe persistent mental illness — schizo-phrenia, bipolar, severe depression and every-thing that comes along with that,” Mr. Brown said.

About a year ago, they took a tour with Laing House and dis-cussed partnering to start a branch here.

“They are a youth-driven, peer support organization, community based,” Mr. Goodwin said.

Initially, they were going to come down once a month, he added.

“And then they said, ‘You know what, since it’s your area, you figure out what’s going to work. Let us know, we’ll help fund you and you can do whatever you want,’” Mr. Brown said.

The mandate for Laing House is be-tween the ages of 18 and 30, and the pair knew that it would be a hard group to reach.

“We thought, how can we engage? How can we help them make it into recovery and make it a little easier and not so lonely and such,” Mr. Brown said.

They came up with an under 30 group drop-in, which officially started on March 27.

A drop-in program for all ages through South Shore Mental Health has been offered for a number of years and the pair run that program.

“Most folks who show up have no

money and no way to get around town, so, when we can, we like to pile them into a couple minivans and go some-where, just whatever they want to do. The movies is popular,” Mr. Brown said.

The pair saw how well that was doing, but typically only people from Bridgewater would come to the Bridge-water drop-in.

“So we said, ‘well let’s take a look around and try to start one up in Lunen-burg.’ We knew it was going to be a slow start, but we were patient. It’s casual to drop in, come when you can.”

The drop-in centre in Lunenburg opened in November 2013. The goal for clients is to expand their social

circle and make some friends.

“We just want you there and you don’t have to say anything or talk all the time. Whatever works for everybody. The nice thing is, where a lot of the folks are isolated and don’t have refined social behaviours, just being there they start to learn social cues and acceptable social behavior,” Mr. Brown said.

The counsellors come in with ideas,

wanting to do education, wanting peo-ple to have a sharing circle if they want to or, if they don’t, that’s fine too, Mr. Goodwin said.

“Its just whatever is going to work so people are comfortable, so they want to come back and feel supported in this group.”

The under 30 group will meet every second and fourth Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church hall at 78 Alexandra Drive in Bridgewater.

The all-ages group in Bridgewater meets every first and third Monday on the second floor of the Dawson Clinic at 197 Dufferin Street.

The Lunenburg group meets every first and third Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m. at St. John’s Anglican parish hall at 64 Townsend Street.

There is also a drop-in program in Liverpool every Monday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Zion United Church.

“We thought, how can we engage? How

can we help them make it into recovery and make it a little easier and not so lonely and such.”

Chris Anderson looks into the camera with a jubilant expression as he runs in the Boston Marathon April 21.

Boston Marathon still a thrill after 26 years


After 25 years of running Boston Marathons, you might think the tradition would get old, if not tiring at least.

But for Chris Anderson, 66, of Bayport, it just keeps getting better year after year.

This year’s marathon was different, however, because of the last year’s bombings. There was a lot of emotion involved for everyone, not just the runners, but the whole community, he said.

“The whole city and everyone was very support-ive, very concerned. There was a lot more security. Everyone was aware of what happened last year, but it was very much about the whole community coming together, the running community and the community of Boston. With the slogan being ‘Bos-ton Strong,’ there were a lot of signs to that effect.”

Mr. Anderson had crossed the finish line nearly an hour before the bombs went off last year.

“I was on a massage table a couple of blocks from the finish line.”

They had to evacuate the building immediately and weren’t sure what was going on.

His brother, who had been running behind, had just crossed the finish line when the first explosion went off.

“It still bothers him to a degree,” Mr. Anderson said.

Last year’s events were on everybody’s mind during this years race, he added.

“A lot of people had moved beyond it. Now, it was like the Boston Marathon prior to 2013 again this year.”

Of all the runners he spoke to, he never heard anyone say they were not going back to Boston this year. If anything, they were more invigorated to go back, he said.

“We run towards things, we don’t run away from things. A marathoner is dedicated, you run into ob-stacles, but you get beyond them and keep moving forward despite everything.”

There was that extra element to it, he said, but it’s still just a wonderful event.

It is the only marathon in the world, besides the Olympics, that runners must qualify for and people come from all over the world.

Mr. Anderson has run more than 100 marathons

and said the fan support in Boston is like no other race.

“This is one of the few marathons where the whole 42.2 kilometre course there are people on both sides of the road. There are some places, to-wards the finish line, it’s as much as 10 deep.”

Security was tighter this year, with more check-points and fences for crowds and runners, and security police driving on bicycles riding up and down the course.

“I saw a lot of policemen with dogs for bomb sniffing, I would say, and just a bigger police pres-ence overall. That was very reassuring.”

The whole course was roped off the entire way, which wasn’t usually the case.

“This time, for the first time, I remember every runner had to go through two security gates. They made sure you had a bib, authorised and not car-rying anything. It went smoothly and it was well done, but it was never there before. No one was complaining about it though,” Mr. Anderson said.

People from across the United States sent over 7,000 blue and yellow scarves — the official colours of the race — for the marathon runners. Along the course, there were a lot of people wearing blue and yellow to show support.

There were a lot more runners this year, with 36,000 competing compared to a high of 26,000 last year. More than 1,000 medical volunteers were turned away and there was a surge of people look-ing to volunteer in the marathon.

For Mr. Anderson, it’s become a really nice fam-ily vacation each year.

“When I first went 26 years ago, my children were 14 and 10. Now those two children have their own families and their families come and support me,” he said. “My oldest grandchild is 14 years old and that’s how old her mother was the first year.”

This was Mr. Anderson’s 26th Boston Marathon and he hopes there will be another 26.

“As long as I qualify, I’m going to go back. It was a vow I made to myself the first year I completed it. I said ‘Why wouldn’t I keep going back.’”

Other runners competing in Boston this year from Lunenburg County were Bill Roblee, John Anderson, Alfred Lacey, Victor Nickerson, Brian Davis and Lorri Griffin. It was Davis’ and Griffin’s first Boston Marathon.

Adam Harvey and Colton Kaizer were selected as two of five play-ers from Nova Scotia to attend the national U-15 training camp in Montreal April 15 to 18. If they are chosen for the team, they could represent Canada at a tournament in Costa Rica in the fall.

Soccer players selected for national camp


Two Lunenburg County soccer players have recently returned from attending a national identification camp in Montreal.

Colton Kaizer of Chester Basin and Adam Harvey of Hub-bards were two of five Nova Scotians selected to attend the try-out session for the men’s U-15 national team in Montreal April 15 to 18.

Previous camps took place in Burnaby, BC, and Toronto.The pair were selected through the provincial program on

March 22 when national U-15 head coach Ante Jazic came to watch them play an exhibition game against the U-16 provincial team.

The camp involved six workout sessions over a four-day period, including two exhibition games against the Montreal Impact U-15 team.

They will hear within the next month if they are selected to go to another camp in Ontario in June. If they make the team, they could end up going to Costa Rica to represent Canada in the fall.

It was a great experience and very intense, Colton said.“It was what I expected for a national camp. You’re trying out

for U-15 Canada team so it’s top quality.“It was quite an experience to play with people of different

calibers that we’re not used to, but it was also easier to fit in because we are like the same quality as them. They’re all good players,” he said.

It was pretty enjoyable to meet new people, like the coaches and other players, Adam said.

“The training intensity was a lot higher. It gets you more pre-pared for what is going to be coming up.”

Colton’s father, Luke Kaizer, was shocked and very pleased that the boys got selected for a national camp.

“I see the determination they have. Both of them are on the ball everyday. If he’s home, he’s out with the ball two to three hours everyday — in the summertime it’s more.”

To see them work that hard and actually achieve their goal is quite a thrill, he said.

“(Adam Harvey’s) mom would have the same words. She’s just ecstatic that they got chosen for this. If they get picked for the team, it’s just another excitement to go through. We’ll see how things work out and what happens when the time comes.

“Even for the South Shore, I don’t think there has ever been anyone chosen to go to a national camp. I think it’s a pretty big thing for them to achieve that, for soccer especially.”

Osprey 5K chosen for provincial road race series

Riverport’s seven-year-old Osprey 5-kilometre run/walk has been selected by Run Nova Scotia as part of its offi-cial road race series.

“Runners from various areas of Nova Scotia, and of varying running abilities, will join participants from Lunenburg County for the opportunity to share in this family-friendly event on the flat, paved ‘out and back’ course along the scenic waterfronts of River-port and Lower LaHave,” said a release from the organizers.

Seventeen-year-old Simeon Fancy of Milton has placed first in the run each of the past four years.

Last year, the event raised more than $2,600 for the Riverport and District Community Centre and the PRO Kids program.

This year’s race is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. on May 10 at the community centre.

TEE TIMEBridgewater’s Loraine Workman, right, and Francesca Cox of Heckmans Island prepare to tee off during the opening weekend at Osprey Ridge Golf Club on April 26.

Eddie Shack will be one of the celebrity guests at the CIBC Wood Gundy Lumberjacks Ce-lebrity Dinner Auction at the Bridgewater Best Western Plus Hotel and Convention Centre May 23. Shack is a four-time Stanley Cup champion, including his last one with Toronto Maple Leafs in 1967. Joining him at the head table will be CBC Sports broadcaster Steve Armitage and Paralympian Ryan Shay.

Clear the track for Eddie Shack

Hockey legend slated for Lumberjacks celebrity dinner


Clear the track for Eddie Shack.The four-time Stanley Cup winner will

be the guest speaker at the CIBC Wood Gundy Lumberjacks Celebrity Dinner Auction at the Bridgewater Best Western Plus Hotel and Convention Centre May 23.

The team lucked out in getting the hockey legend to come to the dinner, gen-eral manager Ken Petrie said.

“We went on his website and got some info and made numerous calls and fi-nally tracked him down. We’re lucky to have him,” he said. “Of all our speakers that we’ve had, this is probably the most entertaining. They call him Eddie ‘The Entertainer’ Shack.”

Mr. Shack is excited about coming and he’s bringing some memorabilia along with him to be auctioned off, Mr. Petrie said.

“He’s got some stuff signed by Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux for part of our auction. We’re very, very fortunate to get someone of that hockey entertaining stature.”

Mr. Shack was a member of the last To-ronto Maple Leafs team to win the Stanley Cup in 1967.

Celebrity guests in past years included

former NHLers Gerry Cheevers and Den-nis Hull, and former NHL coach and Ca-nadian senator Jacques Demers.

“We brought Hull one year and he was so funny. People laughed so hard they said they only heard half of his jokes, so we brought him in the next year.”

It’s a very important fundraiser for the Lumberjacks, he said.

“It’s a night out for people. People ac-tually wait for this. It’s not just a men’s night,” Mr. Petrie said.

Steve Armitage, broadcaster for CBC Sports, and Paralympian Ryan Shay will also be in attendance.

Most recently, Mr. Armitage covered speed skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and he is going to talk about his experience, Mr. Petrie said.

“We always try and have local sports people that we can honour. We have two in mind, but they haven’t been confirmed yet,” he said.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the dinner is at 7 p.m.

“It’s a great night out, very, very enter-taining. Each year we strive to make it better than the year before. Even though Jacques Demers was wonderful last year, I think we’re going to have an even better night this year with Eddie Shack,” Mr. Petrie said.

All sports submissions must include, if applicable: the sport, the competitors’ names, league name, team names and level or division played. Also include the date and location of the game or competition. Any submissions that do not include the proper information or that are illegible cannot be published.

The deadline for submissions is 10 a.m. Monday. Contact Lighthouse Media Group sports by e-mail at [email protected], by fax at 543-2228 or by phone at 543-2457.

Kippers hosting tumble-a-thonThe Kippers School of Gymnastics is

hosting its annual tumble-a-thon fund-raiser at the Bridgewater Mall on May 3.

“This is an important fundraiser for our club and it is tons of fun for the kids,” said a release from the club.

“The general public is invited to come watch the athletes as they com-plete circuits to do 200 tumbles.”

In addition, the Kippers will host

their 19th annual butterfly meet on May 23 and 24.

“This is a recreational meet for tram-poline and artistic athletes in the recre-ational, advanced gym and intermedi-ate programs,” said the release.

“Athletes from various clubs across the province will be invited to partici-pate. It is a great way for the gymnasts to show off their stuff and build confi-dence in their abilities.”






COUNTY — Taxpayers are helping two organizations, the Chester Munici-pal Heritage Society and Lunenburg Queens Recreation Coordinators Direc-tors Association, pay for programs de-signed to help seniors share their his-tory and volunteer experiences.

Chester’s municipal heritage society receives $24,750 “to assist seniors to lead and participate in a series of work-shops, digital interviews, as well as an inter-generational music video to create an interactive historical representation of the community,” said a statement released recently by South Shore-St. Margaret’s MP Ger-ald Keddy’s office.

The society’s health, heritage and harmony proj-ect promises to be a “remarkable oppor-tunity that connects first-time video shooters or amateur filmmakers with re-tired brilliant world-class professionals, both sides getting as much out of the experience as the other,” organizer Dawn Harwood-Jones said in a state-ment.

The retired pro-fessionals represent decades of experi-ence in film-making and include cam-era operators, directors and journalists.

“The participants are enjoying the vast experiences of these experts while the retired professionals love sharing their knowledge,” Ms Harwood-Jones explained.

Meanwhile, the Lunenburg Queens

Recreation Coordinators Directors As-sociation gets $20,089. Their money will be used, the statement said, to “allow seniors involved with the association to encourage other seniors to share their volunteer experiences that will be captured in and promoted on video showcasing the value of volunteering.”

The association is the parent organi-zation of the Lunenburg Queens Volun-teer Partnership, which is leading the project.

“The funding will assist in the cre-ation of a series of videos, designed to capture the positive contributions seniors make to the community through volunteering and the videos will then be used to promote the value of volunteer-

ing to families and youth,” partnership chairwoman, Kath-ryn Gamache, said in a statement.

“The ongoing work of the part-nership has allowed us to see first-hand the exceptional skills, experience and commitment of older volunteers, as well as the need for volunteer organiza-tions to get families and youth involved in volunteering in order to remain vi-able into the future. This project enables

us to combine both those ideas in a fun new way.”

The federal money for the local proj-ects comes from New Horizons for Se-niors federal grants and contributions funding, a program within Employ-ment and Social Development Canada. Mr. Keddy announced the local money awards on April 22.

Grandmothers to Grandmothers

Movement gaining ground in AfricaBy ROBERT [email protected]

Norma Carey is making a difference in a place half a world away from her Lunen-burg home.

Ms Carey got involved with the Grand-mothers to Grandmothers movement back in 2008 before she retired and relocated from Vancouver to Nova Scotia.

“When I moved here in 2010, one of the first things I did was to look and see if there was a local grandmother group and, sure enough, one visit to the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market was all it took,” she laughs. “There they were, at the table, very welcoming, and it took no time to take the plunge. It’s an informal, but very dedicated group of women on the South Shore.”

Grandmothers to Grandmothers is a national organization which was formed by the Stephen Lewis Foundation [SLF] in 2006 to raise awareness and mobilize support for African grandmothers who are raising grandchildren who lost their parents as a result of HIV/AIDS.

The local chapter, which began under the acronym SAGE — Supporting African Grandmothers Efforts — formed a year later and the group has been actively sup-porting the cause ever since.

Recently, Ms Carey joined a delega-tion of 22 Grandmothers to Grandmoth-ers members from across the country who visited Ethiopia, Rwanda and South Af-rica as ambassadors of the organization.

“All of us basically raised the Aeroplan points and the funds needed to cover our expenses, so that nothing would take away from the funding for the groups,” she says. “Also, all of us committed to spending a year, once we got home, to raise awareness and help people know about the work that the foundation is doing in Africa.

“That’s a commitment we made, not

only to the SLF, but to the women that we met and the many women that we didn’t meet, because we only visited a small number of projects given the overall work of the foundation.”

The delegation left for Africa February 28 and, once there, divided into smaller groups so as not to overwhelm their hosts.

All 22 members spent time in Ethiopia and South Africa, but only part of the contingent, including Ms Carey, went to Rwanda.

“The three countries we visited were all so very different in many ways, but the projects had similar themes that came up,” she explains. “One of the things that really struck us was the kind of warrior spirit of the grandmothers that we met, just a kind of indomitable spirit, and that was manifested in a whole lot of different ways.”

One shining example of that drive is reflected by the grandmothers that Ms Carey visited in Ethiopia who were in-volved in a project that focused on home support and training volunteers to visit people who were suffering with HIV/AIDS or other health concerns.

“They were busy looking after their own grandchildren and were part of craft cooperatives or income generating proj-ects. They were completely engaged in so many different things and, somehow, found the energy and resources and resil-ience to do that,” she says.

“Many of them … talked about what it had been like when they first got involved with these projects. Many had been ex-tremely isolated, had either been ill them-selves or recently lost family members to HIV, or were struggling with just the basics of how to support their grand-kids, both physically and emotionally.”

She said now, thanks to the Grandmoth-ers to Grandmothers movement, they are in a completely different place.

‘When we asked them ‘where do you get the energy,’ they said they would never forget what it was like to be stigmatized, to be isolated, to be so lost about where to turn and what to do,” Ms Carey says. “And we couldn’t live with ourselves if we didn’t reach out and offer support for other people.”

While things have improved markedly for African Grandmothers over the past eight years, there is still much work to be done.

“It’s not that everyone has their basic needs met. There’s still, obviously, pov-erty and challenges for people in terms of access to education and medicines and all of that,” Ms Carey explains. “But the scene has really changed as far as most of them and their access to medicines for treatment coming through their own government programs, and so their focus has shifted a little bit towards things like income generation for the grandmothers, because they want to be independent and want to be able to provide for their fami-lies and their futures.”

Ms Carey says there is also a ground-swell of advocacy around legal and inheri-tance rights which is spreading across the countries where the foundation has been involved.

“That’s because some of the young peo-ple, who have been orphaned and raised by their grandmothers mostly, are now teenagers and young adults,” she says. “Every place we went we had people who wanted to talk to us about what their proj-ects had meant to them and their lives, so we had chance to hear from young people about their dreams and aspirations. They were extremely articulate, very hopeful, very engaging.”

To fulfill her commitment of spreading the word about Grandmothers to Grand-mothers and the work they are doing in Africa, Ms Carey is offering to give pre-sentations on her three-week visit with the African grandmothers to any groups or organizations who might be interested.

To arrange a presentation contact her at 640-2165 or via e-mail at [email protected] or call Ime Joost at 624-9884.

With ball in hand over her head, Norma Carey participates in the “Gogolympics” event during her visit to South Africa.

Thanks to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers movement, grandmothers in many African communities, such as this one in Ethiopia, have been able to shift their focus towards in-come generating projects.

The Olde Post Centre in the heart of downtown Lunenburg is home to one-of-a-kind business and commu-nity-minded individuals.

On the corner of Pelham and King streets, you’ll find a consignment store, a gym, an artist’s studio, a school and media company all under the same roof.

This structure was built during the middle of the Cold War due to the Russian R-7, which was the world’s first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

However, the actual land had been occupied since 1823 as a federal government building housing Customs, Department of Fisheries, and Canada Post Corporation. The then newly constructed building housed the same three government agencies before adding Manpower in the early 1970s.

“But it was also built as a potential bomb shelter, so it’s really well-built. It’s got cement walls, concrete floors, it’s brick on the outside. If anything was ever to happen dur-ing the Cold War, people would be able to come in here,” says Maureen Dorey, property manager for Eleven Eleven Properties.

Now, it’s a community hub for a variety of services.The Olde Post Centre houses the Lunenburg Communi-

ty Consignment Store offering good-quality, second-hand and antique items.

It’s also operated by volunteers from across Lunenburg County.

“We have the heart of charity in the body of a private business,” says owner Cheryl Lamerson, who began the initiative in August of 2012.

After retiring, she was ready to take on a new proj-ect, keeping in mind her longtime dream of opening a consignment store. The volunteer-based project would become a way for Ms Lamerson to give back to the com-munity and fulfill her dream.

Individuals can find a new home for items by bringing them to the shop, while part of the profit goes to local charities, community organizations and schools.

“Where we differ from other consignment shops is we only keep 30 per cent of the price to run the store,” says Ms Lamerson.

“Fifty per cent goes back to the consignor and we do-nate 20 per cent to the charities of the volunteers who work in the store,” she says.

The store supports a range of charities and organi-zations across Lunenburg County, including Meals on Wheels, SHAID, SPCA, cancer society, local churches, Riv-erport fire department, Fisherman’s Memorial Hospital auxiliary and the Bluenose Academy laptop fund.

“When you are selling things in a consignment store, you are recycling things. Those are items that might oth-erwise have gone to a landfill.”

A hop, skip and a jump away from the consignment store is painter Hangama Amiri.

Originally from Afghanistan, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design graduate spent last year in Lunenburg as an artist in residence and was able to stay in Lunen-burg after finishing the program. She’s also the winner of the 2013 Portia White Protege Prize.

Her space is both a studio and gallery for the commu-nity to see her work and where it’s made.

“The paintings are inspired by Lunenburg’s landscapes and environment, and outside of Lunenburg as well,” she says.

She and her colleague, artist Andrew Maize, who also works in the studio, are currently working on an exhibi-tion of kites for the Lunenburg Art Gallery.

“For us, it’s been a really good opportunity as an artist to have such a space. I also use the space for teaching. I had a few painting workshops,” she says.

“We’ve been using it really well. The community does know where we are and what we do.”

Just a staircase up from Ms Amiri’s studio, is New Voice Language Academy, a school that specializes in

teaching English as a second language.“Bringing in students from all over the world who want

to learn English either to go back to their own countries and go to university there or to move onto university here,” says Alden Darville, director of marketing and re-cruitment.

“We have a certain protocol where we have to get stu-dents up to a certain grade average so that they can attend universities, and we partner with all of the universities,” he says.

The school was started in 2010 by Nicola Sattler, owner and English as a second language teacher. New Voice Lan-guage assists with tutoring and English proficiency, and also offers housing for students nearby.

“It’s central, very central, that’s a big thing for us and we’re only 90 seconds away from our dorm rooms,” says Mr. Darville.

“We’ve got a large space. It’s perfect for what we do.”The central location in Lunenburg is also home to

emOcean.The gym provides “high quality fitness programs, well-

maintained equipment, nutrition education and weight loss support,” says director Jane Ritcey.

“This location is convenient for the people who fre-quent this building, including the members of emOcean gym and wellness facility. Being wheelchair accessible is an appreciated feature,”she says.

The gym helps members reach their goals by providing “the option to have a personalized program created for you when you join, including a body composition analysis to chart your progress,” says Kim Dowse, fitness leader and nutrition and weight loss coach.

emOcean offers a variety of class-es and caters to members of all ages and fitness levels.

“Our most popular service is called “The Living Well Program.” It incorporates facets from all of the wellness options which we provide,” she says.

The variety of ventures at the Olde Post Centre doesn’t end there. It’s also where you’ll find Fourth Monkey Media.

The company’s multi-media experts combine experi-ence and talent “to create the highest quality gaming experience possible,” says president Kirsten Tomilson.

“Fourth Monkey’s motto is ‘play no evil,’ and that promise is fortified with knowledge, passion and experi-ence.”

Ms Tomilson says the company has established long-term relationships with companies including Disney, Leap Frog and a Holland-based company called Spil Games.

“It’s crazy to imagine we helped to develop a theme park attraction for Disneyland right here in Lunenburg,” she says.

The company has developed “global strategic partner-ships with gaming developers, publishers and advertising agencies who are looking for independent and creative thinkers to create engaging, entertaining and interactive content,” says Ms Tomilson.

“We have worked with companies like Disney Imagi-neering. We have a theme park attraction at Disneyland in Tokyo,” she says.

There’s no shortage of talent and quality service throughout the Olde Post Centre and now there are more spaces available to join the dynamic group.

Eleven Eleven Properties has two areas in the building for rent in

the central location, including 18 King Street (2,350 square feet) and another space at 119 Pelham St (1,575 square feet), which includes a back office and storage. All of the spaces are soundproof and have large storefront windows allowing plenty of natural light.

For more information about available spaces, contact property manager Maureen Dorey at 529-2794 .

Your support has been greatly appreciated. Carla and Danica Hirtle.

She was a nurse for 36 years, where she made many friends and cared for a lot of people. She loved fishing, animals and spending time with all her friends and family. If you had the privilege to meet Mom yourself, you would know what an amazing person she really was. The amount of support and love we received since Mom got sick in December was more than we would ever be able to explain and thank. We would like to say a huge thanks to all the staff at Victoria General, Thoracic Surgery Unit, South Shore Regional Hospital and Dr. Abriel and his team with Palliative Care for everything they did to make Mom as comfortable as possible. Also, Armour Transport for all their support.If Mom was here today she would tell everyone to live each day to the fullest, and not to let the small things discourage you, enjoy the outdoors, and especially keep the ones you love close because life is just too short.Thank you for all the cards, phone calls, visits, on-line condolences, food and donations, Mom will never be forgotten in many people’s hearts.God Bless, Bruce, Ashley, Cody and Sean and the rest of our family.

Howard�(Howie)�Brian�Dingle

Howard (Howie) Brian Dingle, age 68. It is with great sadness that the family of Howie Dingle announces his passing on April 23, 2014, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Howie was born in Norman Wells, NWT on January 16, 1946, to Mabel and Walter Dingle. His early schooling was in Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto. He attended the University of Calgary, graduating with a BSc in Chemistry in 1967, a BSc in Chemical Engineering in 1969 and a MSc in Chemical Engineering in

1972. He joined Imperial Oil Limited upon graduation and worked in Ontario, Quebec, California, and across all of Alberta. He retired in 2007 as the Vice President of Production. During his career, he served on many industry com-mittees and associations, and participated in numerous education councils and boards. He was most proud of his association with Junior Achievement and his role as Owner/Publisher of the Bayou Bugle. He is remembered most in his com-pany and the industry for his efforts in the development and encouragement of young people and his strong emphasis on safety. His passions in life included his family, sporting activities such as rugby, bik-ing, backpacking and hiking. In retirement, he travelled extensively and was an avid photographer of nature around the world and across Canada from the Rockies to the East Coast. He will be truly missed by his family, his wife, Joanne Young; his son, Ian (Aika, granddaughters, Eva and Rebbecca); Megan (Loni, grandsons, Tao and Ripley); and Erin (Paul, granddaughter, Eve). He is also survived by his brother, Tom (Florence); sister, Rosemary Poole; and brother, Philip (Donna). A celebration of Howie’s life will take place later in the spring in Calgary, Alberta, and on Heckman’s Island, Nova Scotia.

By�JOHN�KINLEY

Picton Castle arrived in the small Avatiu harbour in the morning of April 2. We garnered a lot of attention as locals and tourists alike gathered on the sides of the dock to see us make berth. As we tossed our lines towards the dock, people clamoured to help get them in place on posts and bits. I immediately knew that this was going to be a special place for the crew to visit simply by the excitement we generated at the dock.

Rarotonga isn’t a large island by any means, but it would be one of the more populated islands that we have visited thus far, next to Tahiti and Moorea. The island’s 60 square ki-lometres house nearly 9,000 people. You can walk across the island in about four hours and drive around the coastal road in under an hour. Despite its small surface area, the island has a lot to offer.

From Picton Castle’s dock, we had virtu-ally every amenity a sailor needed within a 15-minute walk. A grocery store, local shops, a hardware store and a liquor store were all within sight. Not to mention the legendary Pal-ace Burger, which offers amazing hamburgers cheap. Palace Burger became a very popular spot for the crew, as it was open way past mid-night, making it an important stop for those coming home from a night of cultural indul-gence at the bars.

In addition to these stores, there were scooter and car rental locations spread all over the main road going into town. Unbelievably, one could rent a scooter for as little as $12 a day and a BMW for $70 a day. Although the BMW was tempting, a fellow crew mate and I went with the small scooter, which was more than sufficient for getting us around the island. My first day off the ship was spent exploring the island ring road that took me past the interna-tional airport on the west side, along the less populated south side of the island, and past Muri beach on the east and the back to the northern side.

Perched along the island’s northern shore, the busy town of Avarua is the capital city of the Cook Islands and Rarotonga’s only town. The town is backed by a vista of mountaintops covered in trees. The streets are packed with cafés, galleries, tourist shops, bars and restau-

rants. One spot of particular note is Trader Jacks. Trader Jacks is Picton Castle’s un-official hang-out spot and it sits right on the water draped by palm trees and sand. I indulged in a couple of beers and a meal of par-rot fish and chips, though it was probably the priciest place in town. Through the evenings, crew would go to the Garden Bar, which was far more modest than Trad-er Jacks and offered cheap drinks, live music, darts and pool. The crew was invited to the Garden Bar’s open mic night. Myself and a few other crew members put to-gether a song list and per-formed as best we could. Our effort was appreciated and we were invited to a house party the upcoming Monday night where we did the same thing.

Muri beach is Rarotonga’s only lagoon, but it is beauti-ful. Its spectacular sands are sheltered by not only an outer reef, but small islands within the lagoon. This is the location of many of the nicest resorts I have ever seen. On my scooter tour of the island, I stopped and went snorkeling in the Muri beach lagoon and then, on my third day off, I took kite surfing les-sons within these warm sheltered waters.

There is a cross-island track that takes you up and over the Rarotongan mountains and finishes on the south side near a waterfall. The beaten path climbs steeply and steadily all the way to what is known as “the needle.” The needle is a spire of rock the rises up into the sky. If you are brave, which we were, you can climb about half way up the rock face before it becomes unsafe. However, the reward for mak-ing it as far as we did was great. The view was spectacular as it looked down over the north and south sides of the island and provided an excellent photo shoot. We snaked down from the needle using roots and stones as grab holds. Eventually, we came to Papua stream, which got

bigger and bigger as we zig-zagged across it. The stream brought us to a small but refreshing wa-terfall after our long trek across the island. We swam in the cool, fresh water and then soaked up the sun before continuing to find the bus to take us back to the ship.

The Picton Castle set sail from Rarotonga abruptly as it became too dangerous to be tied up with the particular swell coming into the harbour. We started our sail to Palmerston atoll where the crew is scheduled to stay with families on the island. Palmerston is home to about 70 people. This island will be the most isolated island that we will be visiting, so we have stocked up on vari-ous goods that we will be dropping off for the resi-

dents. Historically, the Picton Castle crew have been warmly received and invited to attend functions planned specifically for them. There is no way to visit this island other than via boat or helicopter, so I will be most fortunate to visit and make friends with this small group of people.

My crewmates are adventurous and a lot of the time it’s almost hard to keep up. Being part of a tall ship crew is hard work but the rewards are amazing. You end up working all day in a harsh environment, but then you party just as hard when you have time off. However, you can’t bring yourself to rest for a moment, as you want to embrace every opportunity as if it were the last time you’ll ever get it. In all reality, I prob-ably won’t be visiting these places again in my life, so I have to make the most of my visits now. From Palmerston, we continue our sail west towards Tonga. There it is only a five day or so sail to our final destination of Fiji and we are expecting fair weather for the next week or so.

Enjoying rare opportunities aboard Picton Castle

Monica Fitzgerald knew it was time for a change.Although she enjoyed her challenging, fast-paced ca-

reer as a legal assistant, after 14 years it was starting to take a toll on her.

She was ready for a new career. But this time around, she wanted to rediscover her creative side.

“I knew I wanted to do something for myself,” she says. “And realizing that now, my passion is to do some-thing hands-on.”

Back when she was 18, she’d often be sketching and helping out at craft shows, but in the chaos of life, she’d for-gotten about her artistic side, she says.

“All those parts of me got buried.”That changed when she signed up for

a course in floral design.After moving on from her job, she

took some time off and eventually she flew to Toronto where she attended a three-week course at the Canadian Institute of Floral Design.

“I didn’t really want to go back to school for a couple of years. I looked at a couple of different options, but this one really appealed to me, so I enrolled,” she says.

It was a perfect match — a chance to revive her pas-sion and be her own boss.

“I knew I wanted to work for myself,” she says. “I’m thinking if I can put that many hours and that much energy into a job, it would make more sense to do that for me.”

Today, the mother of two operates Monica’s Floral De-sign out of her home in Hebbville, where she offers ser-vices for weddings, proms, anniversaries and birthdays, corporate designs, arrangements and soon plans to add funerals. It’s almost been a year since she launched the

business last Mother’s Day and, so far, she’s had about 150 clients along with six weddings booked for 2014.

“I put a lot of energy into customer service. When I meet with my brides, we do one-on-one,” she says, some-times meeting two or three times before finalizing.

“There’s a lot of flowers. There’s a lot of choices. So we just work back and forth.

“To help women is a really big thing for me, so I like it,” she says.

Every three to four months, she also spends time at Ridgewood, an assisted-living community in Bridgewa-ter, where she hosts workshops and demonstrates how

to make floral arrangements.“The ladies absolutely love it.”But it wasn’t always an easy transi-

tion getting to where she is today.“It’s a lot of fear, when you’re close

to 50. It’s a big change. You have to find your potential,” she says.

“We all have fears, and if you allow them to dictate your life you are missing many opportunities. I thought, I didn’t

want to do that, I didn’t want it to dictate my life.“I just pushed myself,” she says.She remembers being back in Toronto and every

morning she’d get up, head towards Union Station, hop on the go-train, get off at the second train stop, grab the bus and walk to class. At the end of the school day, she’d take the entire route back home, this time carrying ar-rangements of flowers that she’d put together in class that day.

“I’d be coming through the train station with all this stuff,” she smiles. “People would get to know you at these stops because it’s the same people. I’d just give them to people.”

She’s grateful for the support of her instructors at the school, as well as her partner. She says his support has really made a difference.

“You have to gravitate to the people who want to help you,” she says. “The law firm that I worked at, they sup-port me. The business connections that I have, friends, people are very, very supportive.”

Being an entrepreneur meant taking care of market-ing, sales, ordering supplies, anything required to man-age the business.

“When I first started, I was this timid, timid person, but now I’m totally over that. Being more confident and believing in myself is the biggest thing that has come out of this for me,” she says.

Business in the floral industry comes in waves, she explains.

“You have a big event then there’s nothing and, be-cause I haven’t gone through a whole year yet, there’s so many uncertainties.”

One thing she knows for sure, is that she’s happy with where she’s at.

“I love doing it. I love working with the flowers and doing the different designs,” she says.

She comes up with her own original designs for each arrangement and is planning designs she’ll be promot-ing for Mother’s Day. Each arrangement slightly differs from the last.

“They’re all unique,” she says.In the long-term, she hopes to hire another floral de-

signer and perhaps a few others part-time.“[So] that if I want to step away a bit from the busi-

ness, I can, because I don’t want it to consume me,” she says. “I kind of have a vision that I’d like to have a green-house and have a few things on hand, just little things that add to a bouquet.”

She didn’t expect to be where she is today and she’s thankful she took a chance, returning to the creative side that had been there all along.

“Every experience you take, you learn from it. But importantly, it’s never too late to come back to who you are,” she says.

South Shore residents recent-ly learned more about tourism opportunities stemming from the new Yarmouth-Portland ferry, operating from May 15 to November 2.

Danny Morton, director of cruise marketing and business development for Nova Star Cruises, spoke at a Chester Mu-nicipal Chamber of Commerce breakfast on April 22.

Mr. Morton, who also worked at White Point Beach Resort for 30 years, says it’s time for com-munities in the province to have a new approach to tourism, real-izing that they’re not in compe-tition with each other.

“We are not in competition with the Valley or with the wine region there … and the Valley is not in competition with all of the beautiful artisans and all the wonderful work that’s being done in Chester,” he said.

“We are in competition with the $1,000 all-in five-star in Cuba. We are in competition with Shanghai, London, Paris — wherever you might want to go next,” said Mr. Morton.

He says the focus should be on bringing tourists to the province in general, understanding that it’s beneficial regardless of which community they visit.

“The touring leisure public that comes in really does like to come in one way and go out another historically in Nova Scotia, when they’re doing a real tour of prov-ince,” he said, adding that, no matter which area of the province they travel through, it’s important that we offer exciting and authentic opportunities.

“Something that will capture the imagination and give them something to talk about when they get home,” said Mr. Morton.

The new cruise ferry holds 162 cabins, each housing four people, 336 cars, or a combination of cars, motor coaches and transport trucks.

It includes three restaurants, four bar areas and lounges, a small enclosed smoking area, spa facilities, a gym, and gift shops which would include Nova Scotian products on the ship, he explained.

Nova Star has subcontracted the crew of 120 on board the ship. Mr. Morton says ticketing and reservations at the ferry terminal in Yarmouth creates about 30 local

positions and about 10 in Halifax, along with a small of-fice in Portland, Maine.

The company will not be including brochures on the ship, instead restricting it to regional guides for each area in Nova Scotia.

One exception to brochures on board will be a promo-tion — still in its developing stages — potentially called “This week in Nova Scotia.”

“When people come across from the States into Nova Scotia [it’s] letting people know what’s happening during the week that they’re visit-ing,” said Mr. Morton.

The company is also in the process of launch-ing the Discovery Program, which would offer package deals for those travelling to the prov-ince. It would include opportunities to book ho-tels in Nova Scotia, guided experiences or tours and meals.

“Tourism is a $2 billion business in the prov-ince of Nova Scotia. Bigger than forestry, fishing and agriculture combined,” said Mr. Morton.

“The Ivany Report says we should turn it into

a $4 billion business to really accomplish something for the tax base in the province.

He said the export industry would be another oppor-tunity to showcase the products made in Nova Scotia.

“There’s no reason it can’t happen other than we all have to work together doing it.”

LIFESTYLE & LEISURE

Brad Armstrong says that along with the sunshine came numer-ous song birds to Chester. He had

lots of common grackles and red-winged blackbirds, and a pair of white-breasted nuthatches took up residence in one of his nest boxes. An exciting arrival in Riverport for Brian and Janice Kenefick was a male blue grosbeak. They also have an almost white blue jay tending. I watched the white blue jay — likely a male — feed a nor-mal blue jay, which would be pair bonding between the male and female. A nice sur-prise in First South was a ju-venile indigo bunting, which showed up in a hedge in the yard of Charlene MacDon-ald. Charlene was able to ob-tain a nice photo of this bird and of a northern shrike, as well. Madeline Bolivar at Dayspring had a fox sparrow arrive and, in Lunenburg, Barbara Eisenhauer was pleased to see a male rose-breasted grosbeak.

Steven Hiltz in Back Centre had tree swallows flying over the lake there. On April 15, Craig Oakes of Conquerall Mills noticed some tree swallows try-ing to land on a power line wire in a brisk wind. Two others were chasing one another around his yard and over the field. On April 17, a field sparrow showed up in Mahone Bay in the yard of Joyce Allen. Mike Spencer heard an American woodcock putting in a nightly performance at Crousetown for the first time this year on April 14. Last year, Mike watched the male perform a court-ing ritual. Mike had just spotted the fe-male, which settled down in his garden. After watching her for a minute or two, the male approached her from the rear. He was doing his courting display with strutting and a little dance with wings raised. When he got to within six inches or so, she would move about a foot ahead of him and settle down and he would do his little dance and display again. This was repeated until the pair moved out of sight behind a big rock.

In Union Square, Judith Orr reported the arrival of a yellow-bellied sapsucker. Chris Anderson noticed the ospreys back at Lilydale on April 16. During the past week, ospreys also arrived at a lot of other locations, including behind the cinemas in Bridgewater. Chris’ sighting of two great blue herons at Bayport con-

firms, for him, that spring has arrived in Lunenburg County at last. Mandy Eisen-hauer heard a hermit thrush singing at Rhodes Corner. Lots of double-crested cor-morants have returned.

Newly arrived migrants elsewhere were two sing-ing winter wrens located by Chris Pepper, Kate Steele and Blake Maybank near the Sunrise Park Cemetery in Hatchet Lake. Palm warblers and eastern phoebes have been seen at a number of lo-cations across the province.

Norman Oram of Hay Cove, Richmond County, had 14 fox sparrows on April 11. Rosemary Hiltz reported a male indigo bunting at Port Bickerton, Guysborough County. In the backyard of Don MacNeil in Halifax, a white-crowned sparrow showed up. Marg Millard of White Point also had a white-crowned sparrow and a chipping sparrow.

Clyde Stoddart at Cape Sable Island reported 52 dunlin, 19 black-bellied plo-vers and two American oystercatchers. Johnny Nickerson had the first report of a willet back at the Guzzle, Cape Sable Island. Johnny also had a field sparrow at his feeders. Murray Newell in New-ellton reported a brown thrasher and an eastern towhee. An eastern kingbird was spotted at Port Clyde by Sandy Hiltz. On an outing to Onslow, Colchester County, Eric Mills saw a drake Northern shovel-ler. Other birds of interest found outside of Lunenburg County were a snowy egret, northern shrikes and a black-backed woodpecker.

There are many averages in life. On average, the number of individuals in a family has

shrunk drastically in the past century. You won’t find many parents raising 10 kids these days. During the Baby Boom years (1946–1965), Canada’s birthrate skyrocketed, send-ing previous averages into space. In 1961, with the birth rate declining, on average, couples gave birth to 2.7 children. That dropped to 1.9 children in 2011.

One average that remains relatively constant through the centuries is the average number of years between children. On average, sib-lings are born one to three years apart. There are excep-tions. I know a family that had five and then six years between their three children. There are also families that have “one together” when divorced parents marry another partner and decide to blend their families with a baby. This can cre-ate 10 years or more between siblings.

On average, however, the span is one to three years. This becomes obvious when researching the family tree. My mother and three of her siblings were born in a seven-year span, indicating there was only one to two years be-tween births. A fifth child was born 11 years afterwards, but there’s an inter-esting story attached.

My father and his 16 siblings were born between 1906 and 1933. During these 27 years, my grandmother gave birth, on average, every 1.6 years. I’m led to believe she was pregnant only these 17 times and no child was undoc-umented. I could, however, analyse the birth dates and see if a pregnancy may have ended prematurely or produced a child that died young.

The records indicate she gave birth every year or two without exception. Until 1912, that is. A span of three years passed without a baby. There’s no doubt the woman needed a break, but was there a reason for it? Had a birth

gone undetected? Analysing the data closer, the births in this period were only 27 months apart. Although a child could have been born during this time, it is highly unlikely.

If this span had been unusual — say 48 months — then it might indicate a pregnan-cy had occurred. A more intense search of church, death and census records might uncover a missing child.

A good exercise to perform in a family unit is to evaluate each group of siblings and compare their birth years. If a span of more than three years passed without a child, particularly if a family gained one child on average every two years, it is worth a

closer look to see if there was a specific reason behind the dry spell. Perhaps it was nothing. Perhaps the husband was working out of town or someone was ill. Or it might indicate something more.

By following this investigative tech-nique, I uncovered a few children who died young in my great-granduncle’s family. On average, his wife appeared to give birth every two years. When I spotted gaps, I looked deeper and found four children who died between the ages of two and nineteen months. Only six children lived to adulthood.

This exercise might not only help researchers discover missing siblings, it may uncover the true parentage of a child. For example, my great-grand-father was listed with four children in the 1901 Census. Nine years separated the youngest from the older sibling. Further research revealed the youngest child was actually a grandchild.

PARKDALE-MAPLEWOOD

BY DONNA M SMITH

Your correspondent attended the April meeting of the New Germany Garden Club on April 3 at NGRHS. On being told of the many benefits to belonging to a “real” garden club, she was persuaded to join. President Lynn Ralof, accompanied by her guide dog, Martin, gave a very interesting presentation on “Gardening in the Dark.” The next meeting will be held May 28 at 7 p.m. and there will be a special guest. Megan Crowley from the Tobeatic Research Centre will give a pre-sentation on the monarch butterfly.

The Union Square hall was the site of a local “Seedy Saturday” on April 5. After scraping the ice off the steps, the Outsid-ers gardeners and friends met for a seed exchange and potluck lunch with sales of extra seeds being donated to the hall. It was good to be thinking of gardens in spite of the still cold and wintry weather.

On April 10, museum administrator Barbara Wentzell was invited to judge and also speak to the students at West Northfield Elementary School’s first Her-itage Fair.

It was a rainy morning on April 12 — no snow at least — for the hall breakfast and penny auction. There was good atten-dance with folks wanting to have a nice maple syrup breakfast in hopes of spring finally showing up.

The museum society met at the home of administrator Barbara Wentzell on April 14 with Alice Rafuse in the chair. We were happy to see Vivian Rafuse in attendance and looking so well after her winter of illness and hospitaliza-tion. Curator Donna Arenburg reported that the roof leak from the March wind storm was noticed before any damage was done and has since been repaired by Peter Wagner’s men. She will have the museum ready for opening on May 1. She already has two school groups booked for May and June. The recommendation of Suzanne Isaacs for the position of

Team wins Call to Remembrance competition

A Call to Remembrance competition was held at Bridgewater Legion Branch #24 on April 10.

Bridgewater Team 1 was the gold medal winner, with team members Mat-thew Rechnitzer, Sophie Robar, Tess Va-chon,

Thomas Owen and Philip Watson.The silver medal winning team was

Comrade Bill Cox was moderator.

Bridgewater photo club meetsThe members of the Bridgewater

Photographic Society were recently treated to a presentation by Keith Mi-chael Cossey, a professional photogra-pher. He attended NSCAD, has an award and certificate in professional photog-raphy from the New York Institute of Photography, and sits on the board of View Point Gallery. He showed us some of his work which is abstract in nature. He used vertical and horizontal motion blurring to create otherworldly effects. He also uses a compositing technique to produce a different type of picture. To do this, he uses three or four images in order to produce one final photograph from his imagination.

His main topic however was dropol-ogy liquid art photography. This in-volves using high speed photography and lots and lots of patience, and a certain amount of hair pulling when he first embarked upon his journey into this aspect of his work. What he captures in these amazing photos, are drops of liquid as they fall and hit each other, forming spectacular images that

can only be truly appreciated by seeing them for yourself, which you can by vis-iting www.keithcossey.com. Keith has a book coming out soon on this subject. He also encouraged us to visit View Point Gallery, an all photography gal-lery in Halifax, which is on-line at www.viewpointgallery.ca.

Our competition this week was for new members. Each member submitted six photographs. We had five entries and the winner will be announced at our closing dinner on May 27.

One of our members, Kas Stone, is hosting the opening of her studio on May 4 from 2 to 5 p.m. The studio is located in Dublin Shore. For more info, visit www.kasstone.ca.

We closed our meeting with a short slide show of monochrome images which will be a new category in our competitions next year.

Our next meeting is our annual gen-eral meeting. We also have a slide show of the honour awards and our On Loca-tion — Four Seasons photographs.

Lunenburg County 4-H’ers advanceOn April 12, Shelburne County 4-H

Council hosted the 2014 South Shore Re-gional Rally. Lunenburg County members had an outstanding day with seven mem-bers moving on to participate in the Nova Scotia 4-H weekend competition.

Good luck to all members on May 2 and 3.

Hill ‘n’ Dale 4-H Club newsThe members have been busy with

community service, travel, project work and preparing for the summer events. At the April 12 general meeting, mem-bers enjoyed hearing Seth Freeman and Naomi MacKay give reports on their travelling to 4-H conferences in Truro and Washington, D.C., respectively.

During the month members have been selling tickets on a pancake breakfast at the Bridgewater Local Public House on May 24. Everyone received “Proud to BEE a 4-H’er” flower seed packages to help with bee pollinator mix to improve the bee population. These came from the Canadian 4-H Council and syngenta-operation Pollinator.

As our members enjoy spring, many participated in Earth Day on April 22 with presenters informing everyone

about water and how to protect it. The annual Wiles Lake Road clean up was done to help keep our shoreline and brook area clean. On April 26, the club did their Adopt-a-Highway cleanup through Wileville and Newcombville.

Sharing with seniors is part of our club’s community service. This year, some of the livestock members took their animals to Harbour View Haven to spend some time with the residents. Sharing calves, sheep, dogs, poultry and rabbits gave the residents happy mo-ments, as did talking with our youth to build good experiences for all.

Congratulations to all our members who participated at the South Shore Rally on April 12. Good luck to junior speaker, Taylor Rhuland, and junior thanker, Evan Wentzell.

Lunenburg approves joint transportation funding request


LUNENBURG — Lunenburg council has given the nod to the next step toward a public transportation service.

Council has accepted a recommendation from the Joint Transportation Committee [JTC] authorizing an application to the Community Transportation Assistance Program [CTAP] for pre-pilot funding to offset initial operating costs of a public transportation service, as well as to the Accessible Transportation As-sistance Program [ATAP] for the purchase of an acces-sible van.

The recommendation came out of the JTCs March 20 meeting and was circulated to councils for the towns of Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Bridgewater, as well as the Municipality of Lunenburg.

Financial contributions were requested from each municipal unit as laid out in the committee’s 2014-15

capital budget for transportation services.Lunenburg’s share of that $15,333 total amounted to

$1,166, a figure that was approved fol-lowing discussion with only Council-lor Peter Zwicker voting in the nega-tive.

Mayor Rachel Bailey, who along with Councillor Peter Mosher are the town’s representatives on the JTC, told council if the committee applies for funding now and it is approved, that money will not be forthcoming until next spring.

“The reason for asking for ex-pedience in making these approv-als is … because applications for these funds have to be made by May 1,” the mayor said, adding, however, that the bud-geted money will also not be spent until the following year.

She said, at that time, the plan is to hire a coordinator on a term basis to study the issue of a public transpor-

tation system for this area and bring back more detailed information to the committee.

During discussion on the mo-tion, Councillor Mosher indicated he would be disappointed if council voted against the JTC’s funding re-quest.

“I’ve heard lots of talk about co-operation and this is the essence of putting your little toe in the water,” he said. “We’re committing to noth-ing here, we’re not buying a bus. We could be partnering with other people

out there, but at least this allows us to go forward in the most optimum way we can.”

“I’ve heard lots of talk about cooperation and this is the essence of

putting your little toe in the water.”

Fighting the good fightFormer Barss Corner girl battles cancer in Alberta


COUNTY — Apart from her lack of hair, Chey-enne Zwicker looks and acts pretty much like any other happy-go-lucky two year old.

In reality, the Barss Corner native, who moved with her family from their home community to Irma, Alberta, a year and a half ago, is battling for her life.

Last fall, the youngster was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric cancer known as neuro-blastoma.

“It’s a tumor that comes off her spine and wraps around the front of her,” explains Chey-enne’s mom, Mandy. “She was diagnosed October 7, 2013, and ever since then we’ve been going to the hospital. For the first two months, we weren’t even allowed to come home. We stayed at the Ronald McDonald House and the hospital for two months.”

During that time, Cheyenne received six rounds of high dose chemotherapy that, sadly, did not produce a positive result.

“We had a meeting with [the doctors] the other day,” Ms Zwicker said. “They’ve already treated her for a stage four, but she’s a stage three. There’s only two different kinds of chemo left for her can-cer that she can have, but they’ve already given her the front-line treatment which is the best of the best.”

Doctors told Ms Zwicker and her husband, Robert, that even if Cheyenne were to receive more chemo the chances of a cure would still be small.

“They didn’t give us any hope. They gave us the option of chemo with a very low per cent chance that she’ll even survive and the other was palliative care until nature takes its course,” Ms Zwicker says.

After receiving that news, the couple began to seek alternative treatments, eventually finding one that is available in California.

That initially raised their hopes, however that glim-

mer of optimism ultimately faded as more research into the clinic revealed that treatment methods there were not quite as advertised.

“It turned out really bad. I would never take my daughter there now,” she says.

Despite that devastating discovery, all might not be lost.

“Sick Kids [Hospital] in Toronto is contacting us, probably next week, to see if they can help us any further, give us a different treatment or maybe even have a qualified surgeon,” Ms Zwick-er says. “If that doesn’t work, we’re trying really hard for natural cures, wherever in the world we can go. We’re working on passports so that way, if something pops up in the States, we’re able to go there, as long as it’s not chemotherapy.”

Hundreds of family members and friends in Alberta and back home in Nova Scotia have ral-lied to help the Zwickers financially and offer their support.

A Facebook site — Support for Cheyenne and Family — has been set up and to date has over 3,000 followers.

Through that medium, a fundraising target of $29,000 was set to cover costs of Cheyenne’s Cali-fornia treatment before that option fell through, and donations began to come in as word of her situation spread.

A recent on-line Facebook auction organized by a complete stranger to the family brought donated items and then bids from all over Alberta, raising over $64,000 in support.

And, despite the doctors’ grim prognosis for Cheyenne, her parents, as well as her legion of supporters across the country, have not given up hope.

“Frig no, not at all,” Ms Zwicker says. “We’re doing natural things. We’re giving her vitamins. She’s on a very strict, all raw fruit and vegetable diet. I test her urine to make sure her pH is high and we’re waiting on a blood pressure monitor. We’ve become her own little hospital at home for her.”

In the meantime, the family continues to be overwhelmed by the outpouring of support that

their daughter, who is an only child and took four years to conceive, has received.

“She’s our miracle baby,” Ms Zwicker says. “Every-thing will work out. I have faith.”
