JR+RRLEARNT WISDOMArtist Rosalie Harmon captures the beauty of the seasonEastlinks plan to cap rural internet access is despicable. Four reasons:1. Eastlink is a hugely proftable company, with millions in profts each year.2. Te Bragg family, who owns Eastlink, has a network worth of over $1 billion and are one of the richest families in the province.3. Eastlink received millions of dollars in corporate welfare to build the rural internet network. Tis project was not completed on time and was over budget, leading to a second round of corporate welfare for Eastlink.4. Capping internet access in rural areas would be the same as capping electricity in rural areas. It wouldn't be ok to tell rural residents they could only have lights and heat for 8 hours a day, why would it be ok for internet access?Telecommunications should be publicly-owned and operated in the public interestnot for the interests of a handful of billionaires.Nationalize Eastlink.Kyle Buott, President of the Halifax Dartmouth & District Labour Council, HalifaxLabour.caNOTo Restrictions On Rural Internet AccessRose StarITEM Tere is no truth to the rumour that Watermills Road is going to be renamed the F N Road (apologies to Fred) in spite of the fact that it is being called that most frequently these days.

Thanksto all the volunteers who made it happen!COMMUNITY EVENTSThe Honourable Wilfred P. MooreLiberal Senator - Nova Scotiawp.moore@sen.parl.gc.caHappy Summer onthe South Shore!I built this dory thirteen years ago, beginning the year my son Aiden was born. I cut the frst boards the weekend before his birth. I think it would take about a hundred hours to build this, maybe something like that, but it took me over a year with my frst kid. Tat was probably a bigger challenge than building a boat. It was fnding the time. I use it mostly for pleasure, with a little hunting and fshing as well. I built it cheap, maintain it cheap, and just have fun with it. Its named Buzz Bomb II from a Dead Kennedys album. It's about a stolen car, called the Buzz Bomb. I still like the song. Its classic punk rock. Reece Baird, Petite RiviereYOGA AND PILATES CLASSESAt the Petite Riviere Fire Hall. 10 classes for $60 or $12 drop in.Gentle Yoga with Alana Robb, Mondays, 10am.
