Memorial honours
fallen soldier
Maple tree and plaque unveiled
in memory of Cpl. Paul Davis
By LEENA ALI

BRIDGEWATER — A memorial was
unveiled last week to honour a local solider who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Hundreds attended the Bridgewater
Junior-Senior High School courtyard on
September 25 to pay tribute to Cpl. Paul
Davis, who died on March 2, 2006, while
serving in Afghanistan.
Cpl. Davis was a gunner on a light armoured vehicle serving with the Princess
Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry.
“On Remembrance Day, I’m extremely
touched and emotional and overwhelmed
that his name is listed among Canada’s
finest heroes,” said his father, Jim Davis,
to the crowd.
Students, staff, local politicians, community members, representatives from
the military, Canadian Pacific Railway
and more attended the ceremony which
presented a plaque and maple tree in tribute to the soldier.
Mr. Davis said the next time he takes
his dog, Hunter, for walks around town,
the memorial will be a place to reflect.
“I can tell you without a doubt, I will
feel Paul’s spirit and the reason that [is]
because of you being here today. You
are keeping his memory alive,” said Mr.
Davis, adding seeing the students remind-
ed him of his son, who also attended
classes in Bridgewater.
The school celebrated its 100th anniversary last week, in conjunction with
the memorial.
Mr. Davis recalls the last time he saw
his son before he left for Afghanistan in
January, 2006, when he had flown to Winnipeg to see his son before he boarded the
plane.
He was waiting in the military hangar
and could all of a sudden hear the voices
of young soldiers — Cpl. Davis’ being one
of them.
“He says, ‘Dad, what are you doing
here?,’” recalls Mr. Davis, as his son was
surprised he was able to get in.
“You think the military is going to stop
a Dad from saying goodbye to a son?,”
replied Mr. Davis.
“I’ll never forget his smile when we
said goodbye to each other. He was getting
ready to board his plane. I don’t know
who broke the stare first, me or him.”
Cpl. Davis was the father of two young
girls, now ages 11 and 13.
“Bright, smart, just like their dad,”
said Mr. Davis, who adds one of his son’s
biggest worries when heading over was
that his children would forget him, if
anything were to happen.

Tancook needs new ferry: MLA
Public meeting held about issues regarding current vessel
By Jonathan Waddell
editorial@southshorenow.ca
TANCOOK — Now is the time to begin
planning for a new ferry linking the Tancook islands and the mainland, according to the islands’ MLA.
Denise Peterson-Rafuse believes the
government has to start planning for
the succession of the William G. Ernst,
the 32 year-old vessel that runs between
Little and Big Tancook Islands and Chester.
Ferry service has left the islands’ residents frustrated since the summer.

Tucker bringing canine comfort to school
Border collie works at New Germany High
By TRACY WILLIAMS
Walking through the halls of New Germany Rural High School with Tucker the
border collie is a little bit like walking
with a celebrity.
Dozens of hands reach out in passing to pat his furry head and get a brief
lick in return, and dozens more call out
friendly greetings to the school’s newest
resident.
Yes, New Germany High has gone to
the dogs.
Sherrene Delaney, an English and resource teacher at the school, is five-year
old Tucker’s proud human companion
and the one responsible for his new “job”
as a behaviour support dog.
Mrs. Delaney grew up in New Germany and always wanted a job close to
home, so when she saw an opening at the
high school, along with a house just down
the street, she jumped at the opportunity.
Then, it was time to look for a pet.
She went to see a border collie breeder
and saw one puppy who was unspoken for
and off by himself.
“It was the poor little border collie in
the corner with the white face … he was
the chubbiest, the laziest … I mean, how
do you say no?”
A very special relationship was born
that day, but Mrs. Delaney only began to
realize Tucker might have some unique
qualities when he was about two years
old.
“He was just really into being with
people — really, really into it — sometimes border collies can be a little crazy,
but Tucker was just really calm and sociable.”
As a teacher, Mrs. Delaney began to
believe that this sociable dog could do a
lot for some of their students needing a
bit of extra support.
After reading about programs using
dogs in schools as behaviour support
animals, Mrs. Delaney began exploring
the option with school principal Steven
McGill, who fully endorsed the plan.
“We put it out into our school community to see if anyone had any concerns
before Tucker even came to school,” explains Mrs. Delaney.
“If there had been any issues, well, he
wouldn’t have been able to come.”
No concerns were raised, although the
school plans to deal with any issues that
might crop up as they arise. Meanwhile,
Tucker himself adapted beautifully to the
change of scenery.
“He became comfortable in the classroom very quickly — quicker than I had
anticipated,” says Mrs. Delaney.
Beforehand, she and Mr. McGill talked
extensively how best to use Tucker within the school.
“We have a few students on behaviour
support plans, and we knew we wanted to
build Tucker into those plans right away,”
says Mr. McGill.
“We talked quite a bit about anxiety.
We have kids who are not really sure how
to deal with things that they’re feeling at
times,” Mrs. Delaney explains.
“We want to use him also as motivation. Some kids are feeling very disconnected and we are using Tucker to be that
missing puzzle piece. He hasn’t been here
that long but we are feeling movement
already.”
Time spent with the sociable Tucker is
also a powerful incentive for students to
give 100 per cent in the classroom, Mrs.
Delaney explains.
“We have students who really want to
spend that time with Tucker. They weren’t
really motivated to work that hard before,
but now they’re getting things done because they know the end result is to get to
spend time with Tucker.”
The one thing she did not expect was
just how popular Tucker’s presence in the
school would prove to be.
“[The students] want me to take him

newest “staff member.”
out at lunchtime, and at recess, and they
want to talk to him and for me to take him
to their classrooms. So my free time is
mostly gone, but it’s a lot of fun.”
Still, students are loving the new addition at the school.
“He doesn’t disrupt the class, he just
chills out on the floor. It’s a lot more fun to
have him here,” says Drew Whalen, a 10th
grade student who sees Tucker during his
English classes.
“The only thing I will say,” Mr. McGill
says with a laugh, “Is that it’s too bad
Tucker is a border collie and not a Saint
Bernard, which is our school mascot.”
Plans for a Saint Bernard costume are
still under dispute.
“Tucker’s not a costume dog,” Mrs.
Delaney insists with a laugh.

Public weighs in on Lunenburg parking problems
Meeting held to discuss controversial issue
By ROBERT HIRTLE
rhirtle@southshorenow.ca
LUNENBURG — It’s been a long-standing problem that has no magic solution.
About 20 people turned out for a public meeting September 23 to offer suggestions as to how the Town of Lunenburg
might improve what has been a frustrating situation for locals and visitors alike
— a lack of parking spaces and determining the best way to charge motorists
for parking in the downtown core.
At issue as well was the question of
whether writing parking tickets for outof-province vehicles is making Lunenburg appear to be an “unwelcoming”
community.
The meeting opened with consultant
Jeff Merrill presenting a report on a
study he carried out on marked parking
spaces in the Old Town district.
During the course of his investiga-
tion, Mr. Merrill determined that there
are 20 “mobility designated” spaces and
233 metered spaces in the district, 27 of
which do not meet provincial regulations.
Following that presentation, Mayor
Rachel Bailey told the gathering that
the purpose of metered parking is to
provide access to parking “where it is a
limited resource, and limited spaces are
available in the downtown core when it’s
busy in the summer.
“It was the understanding of the
council of the day, and we’ve adopted the
same appreciation, that this was in fact
supposed to be a benefit to businesses by
providing access to clients and customers, and this is one way of doing it.”
She said council has spoken to the
Lunenburg Board of Trade and asked
for feedback. However, the board has yet
to respond.

meeting, a variety of ideas were brought
forward to possibly help improve the
situation.
Those ideas ranged from the installation of payment kiosks where motorists could purchase day-long parking
passes, to lengthening the time limit on
meters from two to four hours in some
areas, to removing the meters entirely, to
implementing a pay-and-display system
and “feeding” meters for vehicles with
out-of-province licence plates or giving
them one free “courtesy” ticket, which
was once the practice in the city of
Halifax.
Although there were certain merits to
all the suggestions, each was also considered to have drawbacks.
Mayor Bailey said nobody likes getting parking tickets and since enforcement was stepped up with the employment of commissionaires early this
summer “more people than in the recent

past have been getting them, for a variety of reasons.
“It’s never a pleasant experience, no
matter if you’re deserving or not, or you
feel you’re not,” she said.
“So it’s something we have to be cognizant of and something that I think
we would certainly keep in mind when
having a review of the whole situation
… and try to make the best of the situation and the fact that we have limited
spaces.”
During the regular meeting of council which followed the discussion on
parking, finance and accounting director Elana Wentzell reported to council
that from July 1 to September 15, the
town’s enforcement officers had written
approximately 1,300 tickets, of which 51
per cent had been paid.
Commissionaires enforce metered
parking from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday
to Friday.

Boy finds historical artifact
on local beach
Arrowhead estimated to be more
than 1,000 years old
By LEENA ALI
COUNTY — A boy from Bedford took
home more than memories after a recent family trip to Lunenburg County.
Ten-year-old Jack Milloy found a
more than 1,000-year-old artifact while
visiting a local sandy beach at the end
of August.
“I was taking a beach walk and I was
finding these flat rocks and skipping
them into the waves, and I just picked
that one up and it looked funny, so I
wanted to show everyone,” says Jack.
After showing his family and others
on the beach, it was determined that the
stone was in fact, an arrowhead.
“We thought it was fake … but it was
actually carved out of rock,” he says.
He then took the artifact to the Nova
Scotia Museum of Natural History,
which is required under the province’s
Special Places Protection Act. The act
exists to protect the area’s archaeological resources, meaning anyone that
comes across an artifact or historical
object is required to submit it to the
museum.
“It just felt like the right thing to do,
because the museum has all of those
artifacts,” says Jack.
The more than 1,000 year old artifact
adds to the narrative of early Mi’kmaq
populations prior to contact, explains
Roger Lewis, the museum’s curator of
ethnology.
“Our goal is to tell and preserve the
artifact’s story and how it relates to the
broader heritage story and the story of
cultures here in Nova Scotia,” says Mr.
Lewis.
“All of those things kind of add to
this puzzle and we don’t encourage people to excavate or intrude upon any sites
like that because you need a heritage research permit to excavate any artifacts.
We like to leave that to people with the
proper qualifications, and training.”
Museum staff will take a trip to the
site, which is not being revealed publicly, to determine the arrowhead’s exact
location and examine the area for more
context.
Mr. Lewis says it commendable that
Jack thought to bring the artifact to the
museum and notes that it’s an excellent
example for others to follow.
“It was just lucky that I picked it up,”
says Jack.
CHESTER — Municipal council has
narrowly voted to proceed with renovations to the former Western Shore-Gold
River School which will allow the building to be used for government and community use.
The municipality acquired the property in July 2013 after it ceased functioning
as a public school.
In August of that year council was
faced with three choices to consider as
options as to what to do with site: List it
for sale either as is or post-demolition,
put out a request for proposals for potential community or private sector uses, or
maintain the building for community and
municipal purposes.
Council opted for option three and
staff was directed to use internal sources
to develop cost estimates for the conversion and upgrades.
Last October staff presented an estimate of $416,000 over a three year period,
but that was compiled with no information on the building’s condition and with
no use of external resources.
Council then directed staff to engage
SNC Lavelin to provide cost estimates for
renovations, a facilities condition study
and hazmat analysis.
SNC’s initial estimate of $487,500 was
later revised to $615,500 when certain
costs were either adjusted or added to the
project.
The consultant was then asked to prepare design documents that would provide tender-ready documents and a further refined cost estimate.
At its September 25 meeting, council
was presented with cost estimates which
reflected two options for the renovations
and dealing with the removal of asbestos
from the structure.
The first estimate involving full asbestos abatement totalled $963,656, while the
second which involves partial abatement
came in at $781,557.
Both figures were well over the $680,000
council planned to budget over two fiscal
years for completion of the work, half of
which was set aside this year.
SNC Lavelin indicated that asbestos
can safely be covered without having
to do full abatement so council opted to
proceed with option two, albeit not unanimously.
Warden Allen Webber, Deputy Warden
Floyd Shatford and Councillors Robert
Myra and Andre Veinotte voted in favour
of the motion while Councillors Brad
Armstrong, Sharon Church-Cornelius
and Tina Connors voted against.
All three of the latter wanted more
time to study the latest SNC proposal.
Council Armstrong also said residents
of his district have indicated they object
to a proposal council was considering to
sell the annex building located next to the
municipal office to help offset the cost of
the Gold River project.
“I honestly think you’re going to get a
low value for that property and I ask that
property not be sold,” he said. “In the last
six months I’ve been asked by my community to not sell that building and keep
this parcel of land as is.”
Warden Webber said it was his understanding council’s intent was to sell the
building if they moved ahead with the
Gold River project because the municipality does not want to maintain it.
Deputy Warden Shatford said he believes the public has been made aware of
what council was planning to do.
“I would be prepared not to move today
if we had a reason, but we’ve got no reason. We’re not waiting for more numbers,
we’re not looking for information.”
Community development director
Tara McGuire said staff could apply for
a provincial grant to help offset the cost
of the work.
Once renovations are completed, the
former school will house community development offices, recreation department
offices, common and meeting areas and
areas for community use.

Tancook needs new ferry: MLA
TANCOOK from A1
The passenger limit is an irritant to the
islands’ residents along with the Transport Canada stipulation that the vessel not
sail in winds greater than 30 knots or in
two meter seas.
At the community meeting, John Majchrowicz, manager of marine services
for the Department of Transportation and
Infrastructure Renewal, assured residents
of the Ernst’s safety.
Based on comments at the meeting,
however, many residents were less anxious about the vessel sinking and more
frustrated by the uncertainty around the
boat’s arrival and departure.
The limit on passengers has meant that
some people have been left on wharves.
Mr. Majchrowicz suggested the numbers of people left behind were not overwhelming, but some meeting attendees
begged to differ.
The number of tourists who didn’t go
to the islands as a result is unknown, said
Mr. Majjchrowicz, as is the number of
people who sought other means of travel,
such as chartering boats.
Many of those who spoke provided
anecdotes of being stranded at a wharf,
missing appointments or being concerned
about making appointments, unsure if
they would get on the ferry and if it would
get them there in time.
Municipality of Lunenburg Mayor Don
Downe chaired the meeting and said issues such as communication and schedule
could be discussed at the working group
Ms. Peterson-Rafuse suggested be struck.
In 2012, the Ernst went through a light
ship survey and inclining test. The results
were provided to Transport Canada in
what is called a stability book. Two years
passed, it seems, before the federal ministry reacted to the findings.
Transport Canada was contacted for
this article, but declined to answer questions about the Ernst.
In August of this year, federal inspectors restricted the number of passengers
to 45. That is the maximum number of
passengers the inspectors felt could get
into life boats in a reasonable time with
the help of the Ernst’s five-person crew.
Federal inspectors are slated to return
in November.
Mr. Majchrowicz assured the crowd that
his priority was to get the ferry back to
carrying 90 passengers. Part of the province’s plan is to make a counter-argument
based on probability to the conclusions of
Transport Canada.
One of the federal concerns is how
quickly the vessel would sink if it began
taking on water. Mr. Majchrowicz explained that his captains are ordered
to find shoals and sand bars, of which
there are many, on which to run the Ernst
aground. How quickly she will sink then,
he suggested, becomes a moot point.
If need be, Mr. Majchrowicz agreed
he would have a new water-tight bulk
head put in the lower compartment
when the Ernst goes into dry dock in May.
Mr. Majchrowicz assured islanders that
if the Ernst was prohibited from further
use, another vessel would be found within
the province’s fleet or a boat would be contracted to provide service.
This assurance provided Fran Levy, of
Big Tancook with a sense of relief.
“I am relieved that come November, one
way or the other, we’ve got a boat.”
The wind and wave restriction on the
Ernst was placed on the ship in 2013.
There seems to be no way to have that
restriction lifted, which frustrates Martin
Hiltz of Little Tancook.
“They came down here to pacify us and
we’re beyond the point of pacification,”
said Mr. Hiltz, who believes the time has
come for a new ferry.
Over the last decade, two of the province’s seven active ferries have been replaced and there is a tender out currently
to replace a third.
COMMENT
More supports needed
for vulnerable youth
A
group of volunteers in our area are working
together to tackle an issue that is most often
invisible — rural homelessness.
Hopes River Community Outreach, a local nonprofit, is in the process of creating a safe haven
for those in need of short-term support. The new
Bridgewater shelter is expected to support up to 15
adults on a coming and going basis.
Organizers have indicated the need for a service
such as this in our community and that although
it may not be obvious, it’s something we shouldn’t
ignore.
The same holds true when it comes to youth
homelessness.
Back in June, a local youth shelter closed its
doors. For 12 years, Empire House provided housing and support for vulnerable young adults in the
Bridgewater area.
The shelter was originally established to address
the “lack of safe, stable and accessible housing,” according to a 2002 brochure.
“For young adults, Empire House will fill this
gap,” it stated.
The gap still exists, and the need for services such
as Empire House hasn’t disappeared. The closure of
the shelter was truly a loss to our community and a
disappointment to many young people.
The Department of Community Services announced the shelter would be changing roles.
Instead of providing housing, it would provide outreach programs for youth and their families.
We were told the new model would “provide increased services that link youth and their families
with existing services provided by health providers,
schools, housing, employment and other social and
community supports.”
While outreach programs and more support are
an asset to the community, that alone is not enough.
It simply cannot replace a physical shelter, one
that approximately 175 youth resided in over the
years.
In addition, Empire House was more than just a
shelter for its residents.
We heard from 18-year-old Melissa Hoare, a former resident and student, who was forced to spend
nights sleeping under bridges because she didn’t
have safe place to turn to.
Lucky for her, she no longer had to resort to
sleeping under bridges. Empire House was there
to provide housing, a safe environment, help with
homework, a chance to learn and improve life skills,
and even more — a family. The shelter housed a
maximum of six residents at a time and, as Ms.
Hoare also pointed out, that on its own wasn’t
enough either.
At times, between two and four young people were
on a waiting list to live in the shelter.
Ms Hoare wasn’t convinced the new service model
would be an adequate replacement, and neither are
we.
Members of the RCMP Youth Advisory Commit-
tee also raised their concerns, protesting the closure
of the shelter in a letter and identifying their support for Ms Hoare, a fellow member and friend.
As the committee pointed out, many of its members didn’t have to worry about finding a safe place
to live while attending school, but not everyone is
as fortunate. Whether it’s escaping an abusive situation, dealing with mental health problems, economic
challenges or addictions, there are various reasons
youth can end up without a safe place to live. A lack
of affordable housing is another challenge.
We’ve heard countless times about how youth outmigration in Lunenburg County is a problem, along
with our aging population, and about the importance of encouraging young adults to stay.
Closing the area’s only youth shelter is not going
to help the cause.
That said, there are many people in our community who work hard to fill the gaps. We are in no way
trying to undermine their hard work, but we are
pointing out the lack of services available to vulnerable youth. A physical shelter is a crucial part of
those supports.
A recent study in the Journal of Rural and Community Development titled, “From Place to Space:
Exploring Youth Migration and Homelessness in
Rural Nova Scotia,” determined a substantial number of urban homeless youth have migrated to cities
from rural areas, often in search of services and opportunities.
While rural and youth homelessness is a relevant
issue in our province, it’s understudied, according
to the report. It concludes rural homeless youth,
compared to urban homeless youth, “are largely invisible in the public and institutional sense. Indeed,
the lack of recognition in some respects barely allows for one to adopt the label, ‘homeless’ in rural
contexts.”
In our community, we generally don’t see people
living on the streets or approaching us for money.
However, those living in unsafe, uncertain circumstances and “near-homeless conditions,” as the report describes it, need recognition.
As the study suggests, even when services such
as shelters are available in rural communities, a
lack of transportation causes accessibility concerns.
When dealing with topics such as public transportation, jobs and improving the economy, the supports
that are offered to young adults need to be part of
the discussion.
These topics all intertwine, but how we support
vulnerable youth is somehow getting lost in the conversation, and it needs to be brought to the surface.
We need to show young people they’re valued, not
only in their brightest moments, but during times
they’re most vulnerable.

Overwhelmed with gratitude
for soldier’s memorial
I
am deeply indebted to the town of Bridgewater.
When I stood at Bridgewater Junior-Senior
High School last Thursday looking around at
everyone who was attending the beautiful memorial
ceremony honoring my son, Paul’s memory, I was
overwhelmed with emotion. I am lost for words to
express my sincere gratitude to those of you who
took the time out of your day to come to the event.
I also know that an event such as this requires a
considerable amount of planning and financial support. I want to express my total appreciation to those
who contributed.
I also understand that the students of Bridgewa-
ter Junior Senior High School were very involved
in creating and taking ownership of the memorial
monument. I want them to know that not only were
they acknowledging Paul’s sacrifice, but they were
also acknowledging his fallen comrades. I can tell
that they truly appreciate that their freedom of education and expression is because of the sacrifices
our men and women in uniform have made over the
years.
On behalf of my son, Paul, and his fallen comrades, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Assisted death
does need to be discussed
T
he timely and thought-provoking editorial
by Lynn Hennigar “We Need to Talk About
the Freedom to Die” must be acknowledged,
and she must be complimented on throwing out this
challenge.
The idea of assisted death is anathema to those
who worship within an organized religion, but it is
not an unknown procedure, although illegal, since
many health officials often do help the terminally ill
to die when requested by caring relatives.
The actual practice exists legally in Switzerland,
Holland and Oregon, and it is way beyond time that
we here in Canada have a legal means to die when
we choose as a human right. So the big question is,

stop to think of a nearby surveillance camera that

Taxpayers beware
T
he special interest group advocating for a
fixed route bus system is active again. They
are now claiming the Ivany Commission as
justification for their project. The Ivany Report was
initiated in recognition that our fiscal situation is
dire and on the way to becoming a disaster. Governments at all levels have to stop spending money we
don’t have on things we can’t afford.
The fixed route bus system people state that
such a system, running in an endless loop six days
a week, will be used by 110 people daily taking a
return trip. That is on its busiest day, which will be
in five years time. That is 110 people out of 36,000
residents of MODL, Bridgewater, Lunenburg and
Mahone Bay. Their original report said that the net
cost for the first five years would be $1,372,692. They
have attempted to slice and dice the numbers in various ways but the fact remains that the report said it
would cost $1,372,692 over five years to transport 110
passengers on its busiest day. That’s 110 people out
of 36,000 residents.
These numbers were produced by the special interest group advocating the fixed route system. The
real numbers will undoubtedly be much higher. In
fact, in Norman Haslett’s letter to this paper on September 24 he states: “Let’s be straightforward about
cost. … Let’s add $100,000 to be conservative, raising
the projected annual cost to $400,000.” Wow, that is
$2 million for five years. So the advocates of this bus
system are now admitting that the cost will not be
the $1,372,692 they originally projected for five years,
but $2 million. An increase of $627,308, or over 45
per cent.
It is refreshing to have an admission that the
original projected costs were greatly understated.
Do you imagine that the current guess is correct? I
ask you, when was the last time you saw such a project completed on budget? Do “Bluenose” and “court
house” ring any bells?
It is somewhat disingenuous to try to paint the
Ivany Report, which advocates quick and decisive
action in order to get our financial situation under
control, as favouring such wasteful and unnecessary
spending.
Taxpayers should take the time to let our mayors
and councillors know we can’t afford a fixed bus
route system. How about writing a few letters to this
paper so that people other than the special interest
groups have their voices heard?

“How do we start?” Do we lobby our MLA, MP, reverend or lawyer?
Ms Hennigar suggests that the documentary “How
to Die in Oregon” would be a good place to start. Is
there any place we can see this apart from Netflix? At
a film society perhaps? It would be very comforting to
know we could choose our inevitable end.

Perhaps Save Easy
should be buying
produce from
the Higbees
T
he debate continues to rage over Cindy Higbee
getting turfed from the Save Easy car park in
Mahone Bay where she was selling her farm
produce. The director of corporate affairs at Loblaw,
Mark Boudreau, has waded into the debate and pours
more fuel on the fire. Mark maintains that Cindy was
selling too much produce and was in direct competition with Save Easy. But would Cindy have been OK
if she had only a couple lines of veggies on offer?
Perhaps Save Easy should be buying produce from
the Higbees instead of importing produce from far
away. While local farm produce is available, farmers
should be given the opportunity to sell to the retail
stores directly, and this would avoid costly transportation wherein produce is taken out of the area and
returned to local shops.
In the meantime, Cindy is doing a roaring trade at
her new venue while management of Save Easy looks
on with envy. Perhaps, in the long run, reason will
prevail and Save Easy will eat humble pie and invite
her back to her previous location.

Herbicide unwelcome
in downtown
Lunenburg
I
saw a bit of a strange sight this morning in
Lunenburg.
I had gone downtown to get some money out of
the ATM for the farmers market and noticed a Town
of Lunenburg worker spraying herbicide on the sidewalk up and down King Street and part of Lincoln
Street in front of Kinley’s and around the Laughing
Whale.
I thought Lunenburg would be above doing something like this. Here I was, getting ready to go to the
farmers market to purchase healthy food and products for my family, and here they were, spraying herbicide on the sidewalks.
That area is one of the busiest and most-travelled
places in town for both people and dog walkers, not to
mention parents with little ones in tow.
Maybe this is something the town has always done,
but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it. I can’t really
see the reasoning as to why the town would do this;
it’s not as if the streets are inundated with weeds.
It doesn’t leave me with a good feeling about going
downtown to get my mail at the post office, or even to
get a cup of coffee, knowing that I’m bringing a bit of
pesticide home with me on the soles of my shoes.
It’s kind of gross to think of how many dogs are
tracking that stuff home on their paws, how many
baby strollers are rolling through it, how many kids
are walking in it without knowing because they
didn’t see the Town of Lunenburg applying it.
It’s not something you expect from a world-recognized heritage site and a town that seems to be
forward thinking when it comes to having a healthy
lifestyle.
It figures that I didn’t have my smart phone on me
at the time to capture a photo of this.

Governments must
co-operate
D
riving along the 103 near Blockhouse, I noticed two transmission towers on either side
of the highway.
Taller ones will be proposed, as competing companies fail to work together as they try to outdo themselves, temporarily gaining a larger market share
until the next bigger and better technology is rolled
out.
The sooner towns, municipalities and provinces
wake up to the idea of cooperation, they will take
ownership of the ability to control our progression
into future technological advances. For example, the
Town of Mahone Bay temporarily thwarted a monstrous radio tower being built, overshadowing their
historic and world-famous skyline.
It’s time all levels of government take responsibility and build one area tower for all internet providers, and lease that out to limit the blight of five or
six gigantic towers for each region. This would also
provide income back to the taxpayer-supported government.
The out-migration of young people and jobs means
schools close, Legions fold, churches become vacant
and rural community centres fall into disrepair. It’s
time to lock the door on the old way of doing things.
We need to stop protecting our shrinking turf, salving our threatened egos, and staying on councils,
boards and committees to simply earn our 40-year
pin. If indeed we believe in serving others, we should
keep moving over, begin anew in junior volunteer
positions and allow/encourage others with new blood
and a broader vision, to step up.
While school populations decline, we understandably want to hold onto the life these institutions
breathe into our communities. Yet we dream of new,
larger fire halls — even though we have the largest
number of fire departments per capita anywhere
in Canada — every rural centre has its own school,
swimming pool, water access, playground, park, community centre, museum, library, ambulance facility,
town hall, health centre, seniors’ residence, nursing
home, daycare building, post office, visitor information centre, sports complex, theatrical playhouse and
art gallery.
We pay for gigantic school buses (no medium or
small variety) to run twice daily to remote areas, five
days per week, ten months a year. We have serious
rural public transportation needs, yet no co-ordinator. Nursing homes, seniors groups, some churches
have vans that are only used for specific events. We
don’t seem to talk, work, share ideas and find solutions together, yet barely maintain what we have. We
hang on to what we know because it’s comfortable
and non-threatening instead of being forward-thinking.
We can no longer squander our shrinking tax base
to support each group’s demands. Every politician
and government planner should read “Boom, Bust
And Echo” to understand our evaporating young
population, welcome new ideas and study successful
transitions elsewhere. We need to know what “economy of scale” means.
One sees Chester as an example of stretching for
funds to build an expensive, large, stand-alone healthwellness centre while a recent expensive family resource centre was also built as a stand-alone project.
Chester also has one of the largest Canadian Legion
buildings on the South Shore, sewage treatment issues and inadequate in-town water services.
Whose vision is leading the pack, planning for the
future, preparing for a shrinking tax base with fewer
young families? Where does sustainability come into
the picture?

Centre for Restorative Care expandin
LUNENBURG — Patients will soon have better access to new and
improved equipment in an expanded exercise room at the Dr. Arthur
H. Patterson Centre for Restorative Care.
The expansion, made possible through a gift from the J&W Murphy
Foundation, will more than double the size of the space available for
physiotherapy and occupational therapy, which are fundamental to
restorative care, according to a South Shore Health release.
“This will increase the number of patients who can be treated at the
same time and provide more space for activities such as gait training
and wheelchair maneuvering.”
As part of the project, the unit will also be getting some new and
updated equipment including wheelchairs, parallel bars, treatment
mats, a four-step staircase exercise unit and a specialized system for
balance assessment and training.
“Our family has seen first-hand how important the compassionate
care given at the Patterson Centre can be to patient rehabilitation and
recovery, and in particular, the critical role restorative care plays in
helping people regain their independence,” said a statement from the
J & W Murphy Foundation.
“So we were excited to think what an expanded rehabilitation space
and modern equipment could do. The Health Services Foundation of
the South Shore and Centre staff were on board immediately
and made things happen.”

LUNENBURG — In the 1965 classic movie “The Sound of Music,” sisters at an Austrian convent
sang a song called, “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria,” about a young postulant whose
behaviour was causing them considerable consternation.
On September 23, staff at the Lunenburg Academy of Music [LAMP] were faced with what
many thought would be their own musical dilemma. However, in the end everything turned out to
be right on key.
Early in the morning a boom truck from Lawrence S. Veinotte Enterprises arrived in Lunenburg to join Gary Trenholm and his team from Dr. Piano in Halifax to perform a very delicate
operation — delivering four pianos to LAMP’s home base of operations at historic Lunenburg
Academy.

Trio of teens hurt in Bridgewater crash
Police say charge likely to be laid
By KEITH CORCORAN
KEITH CORCORAN PHOTO
A Bridgewater volunteer firefighter ventures into a Logan Road ditch to deal with a Honda
vehicle that smashed into a utility pole in the Bridgewater business park on September 25.
BRIDGEWATER — One boy was
thrown from a car as a trio of teenagers
were injured in a vehicle crash September 25 in the Bridgewater business park.
Police believe speed is a factor in the
single vehicle crash, which occurred
around 1 p.m. on Logan Road near the
St. Phillips Street intersection. A charge
in connection with the case is likely, said
Bridgewater Police Chief John Collyer.
The crash investigation prompted the
temporary closure of Logan Road between Wentzell Drive and St. Phillips
Street. The blue Honda car was travelling
toward the St. Phillips Street intersection when the vehicle left the road and
struck a utility pole, police believe.
The crash resulted in one male passenger, believed to be 15 or 16 years of
age, being ejected from the car. The boy
was assessed by paramedics and taken
by ambulance to South Shore Regional
Hospital in Bridgewater with non-life
threatening injuries. He sustained a cut
that may have required stitches, reports
from the scene indicated.
Another passenger, a 17-year-old boy,
and the 16-year-old male driver were assessed by paramedics at the scene but
neither were taken to hospital by ambulance.
Police had a traffic collision analyst
examine the area. “He’s taking measurements and photographs and he’ll do certain traffic analyst tests that they do to
try and determine the speeds involved
and how exactly this collision occurred,”
Chief Collyer explained.
Bridgewater volunteer firefighters
also rendered assistance at the incident.
Responders assisted with traffic control
and attended to the car where they disconnected the battery cable, a common
procedure in traffic crash incidents, to
reduce the risk of fire.

Licensed marijuana grower caught with too many plants
By LISA BROWN
COUNTY — A medical marijuana user
licensed to grow his own plants was fined
$1,500 last week after getting caught producing more than his allotment.
Randy James Power, 52, pleaded guilty
to a production charge September 16 in
Bridgewater provincial court.
Federal prosecutor Josh Bryson told the
court Mr. Power and his wife were each
licensed to grow 25 plants for personal use
back in May 2013. However, when police
searched their Aldersville property on
May 29, they seized 142 plants.
Defence lawyer Chris Manning said his
client suffers with chronic back pain from
an injury and was legally authorized to
grow marijuana for himself and his wife.
He was having trouble producing enough
for their use, so he exceeded his allowable
limit.
Mr. Manning told the court many of the
plants officers seized were seedlings and
Mr. Power wasn’t certain how many would
reach maturity and produce bud.

injuries to her chest. An ambulance
transported the woman to South Shore
Regional Hospital in Bridgewater for further examination.
A man in his 80s driving the car was
also taken by ambulance to hospital in
Bridgewater with less serious injuries.
Police believe the car smashed into the
back of a truck that was turning into the
Stewart Memorial Off Leash Dog Park
from Highway 12 in Chester Basin. A
woman in her 50s, the sole occupant of
the truck, was not seriously hurt.
A section of Highway 12 was temporarily blocked in both directions as first

investigated.
he was doing anything to produce marijuana for distribution anywhere else,” Mr.
Manning said. “He was simply trying to
grow his own.”
Judge Paul Scovil followed a joint recommendation in the case, fining Mr. Power
and placing him on probation for a year.
During that time, Mr. Power is not permitted to have drugs beyond what is authorized.
“A prescription is a prescription and
you have to follow it,” Judge Scovil said.
Mr. Power is also banned from having
firearms for 10 years.
THE COURT REPORT
■ Drugs earn jail time. Getting caught with marijuana and cocaine has
netted a Bridgewater man some time in jail. James Rodney Chase, 33, pleaded
guilty to charges of possessing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possessing cocaine when he appeared in Bridgewater provincial court September 22.
Those charges stem from a search at a Bridgewater address on May 15, 2013. Mr.
Chase was sentenced to 90 days in custody, which he will be allowed to serve on an
intermittent basis from Wednesday evenings through Sunday mornings. He also
received 15 months on probation, with orders to stay clear of drugs and take counselling, and he’s banned from having firearms for 10 years.
■ Guilty of theft. A Chester Basin man is serving 60 days in jail after admitting he stole scrap steel from a local business while on probation. Brandyn Clarence Corkum, 22, pleaded guilty to a charge of theft and three counts of breaching probation when he appeared in court September 22. The charges were all from
September 17. The breaches involved failing to keep the peace, being in the company of someone with a criminal record after being ordered not to be and failing
to maintain his court-ordered curfew.
■ Repeat drunk driver. A second breathalyser conviction in under four years
landed a North River senior in jail September 25. Wilfred Donald Greek, 69,
was sentenced to serve 30 days in custody after he pleaded guilty to a charge of
refusing the breathalyser from late last year. He was stopped in New Germany on
December 11, but refused to take a breath test. Mr. Greek is now prohibited from
driving for two years.
■ Admits harassment. Making repeated phone calls to a woman and knowing he was harassing her has earned a Bridgewater man six months on probation.
Kirk Douglas Oickle, 47, was ordered to take counselling after pleading guilty to
the charge September 25. He made the calls in August 2013.
■ Failed breathalyser. Failing the breathalyser after being stopped by police
will cost a Clearland man $1,300 and his licence for a year. Rickey Gordon Warner, 48, pleaded guilty to the charge September 25. He was pulled over in Spectacle
Lakes on November 30 of last year.
Thief given more time to pay restitution
By LISA BROWN
COUNTY — An Upper Branch man
who stole thousands of dollars worth
of small brass ladders from firefighters’
graves to feed his drug addiction has been
given two more years to pay restitution.
Kerrie Mitchell Meisner, 33, was back
in Bridgewater provincial court September 17 when he pleaded guilty to two
counts of breaching probation.
Crown attorney Lloyd Tancock explained that Mr. Meisner was first placed
on probation in
October 2011 after
admitting he stole
markers from the
Liverpool cemetery. He was given
a year to pay $2,737
restitution.
Mr. Meisner was
sentenced again in
May 2012 for stealing markers from
Brookside Cemetery in Bridgewater. He was ordered
to pay $2,479.69 restitution, although the
town spent more than $11,000 replacing
the brass ladders. In that case, he was
given two years to pay.
He paid nothing in either case until the
breach charges were laid.
Mr. Meisner has since made some payments and Mr. Tancock told the court restitution is the Crown’s primary concern.
Legal aid lawyer Bob Chipman said
money is tight for Mr. Meisner’s family,
but he is working full time and trying to
make payments.
“It was the biggest embarrassment of
his life,” Mr. Chipman said.
Judge Paul Scovil followed a recommendation from the lawyers in the case,
placing Mr. Meisner on two years probation and ordering him to pay the remaining debts — $2,329.69 in Bridgewater and
$932 in Liverpool.

It’s part of a three-month conditional
sentence that David Llewellyn Paul Wagner, 25, received September 16 in Bridgewater provincial court on charges of possessing stolen property and fraud.
He cashed a cheque for $474 against a
company he had no connection with in
October 2013.
Mr. Wagner will spend the first two
months of the conditional sentence on
house arrest with limited exceptions.
That will be followed by a month on a
curfew.
While on the order, and for a year following when he’ll be on probation, Mr.
Wagner must stay clear of drugs, take
counselling as directed and have no contact with three people.
He was also ordered to pay $474 restitution by next June.

Man gets ‘wake up call’ after alcohol-fuelled incidents
By KEITH CORCORAN
BRIDGEWATER — A local man’s alcohol-fuelled agitation
with police led to guilty pleas on a number of charges last
week, including uttering threats and assault.
Stephen Richard Burton, 45, of Bridgewater received a four
month conditional sentence and two years of probation after
admitting guilt to two counts of uttering threats, two counts
of breaching court-ordered conditions and single counts of
assault and resisting arrest.
Mr. Burton has been troubled by substance abuse issues
for a number of years, the court heard during proceedings on
September 23. Defence lawyer David Hirtle said his client has
experienced “slips” while trying to make honest efforts to deal
with his problems.
In passing sentence, Judge Brian Gibson viewed the situation as Mr. Burton’s real chance to deal with addiction issues.
“You should, in my view, be looking at these offences as a
huge wake-up call,” the judge told the accused.
Conditions ordered as part of the sentence include for Mr.
Burton to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, not possess use or consume alcohol, and have assessment and treatment for substance abuse as may be required.
Four of the offences Mr. Burton pleaded guilty to took
place in July 2013. Mr. Burton “began to be belligerent with
the police officers; calling them out, questioning them,
talking about the way they looked,” after police responded
responded to a report of a man requesting police lock him
up before he hurt himself or someone else, Crown attorney
Lloyd Tancock read into the court record.
Mr. Burton had been drinking but recently got out of
detox, court heard.
Once taken into custody, Mr. Burton became more agitated when police put him in restraints after he kicked and
punched the side and rear windows of a police car. Mr. Burton
struck an officer in the side of the head with his fist when his

restraints were being removed back at the police department,
the court heard.
When Mr. Burton was taken to hospital to be treated for
stomach pain, he told a police officer cadet at the hospital that
he would “steal his Taser and shoot him in the head” and then
kill himself. Mr. Burton told another officer that he would kill
and bury him.
The violations of court-ordered conditions to avoid alcohol
took place September 14, 2013 and March 23, 2014. Police found
Mr. Burton at his home in a “highly intoxicated condition”
after authorities responded to a report that he’d consumed
alcohol and driven away from his residence. In the other circumstance, Mr. Burton was again found to have been drinking
after police responded to an assist call from paramedics who
were dealing with a suicidal man.

Politicians reject building official’s unsightly premises advice
By KEITH CORCORAN
COUNTY — Civic politicians have rejected an unsightly premises recommendation that would have ordered a Blockhouse resident to remove a mid-size pickup
truck from his Cornwall Road property.
Building official Brent Haase hoped to have an informal meeting of Municipality of Lunenburg council
issue an order for Peter Young to do away with a “derelict vehicle and junk” to fix the problem, but the municipality essentially closed the five-year-old file when
council decided not to support the Mr. Haase’s advice.
Mr. Young cleaned up the property to a certain extent, Mr. Haase told the meeting when the issue was
discussed.
“The only thing left to finish cleaning up the property
is the removal of the derelict vehicle and the debris on
the back of the truck.”
Some politicians suggested the matter brought to
light a need to streamline how staff and council deal
with unsightly premises files.
A staff report showed a picture of the 1998 Dodge
Dakota in question with a safety inspection sticker that
expired in May 2013.
Mr. Young indicated he has two 1998 Dodge Dakota’s
and both are in working order.
“When I was questioned last year about the truck I
said it was a parts truck,” he explained to councillors,
“but in actuality it can be put back on the road.”
A couple of councillors indicated the condition of the
Dakota brought to their attention is better than what’s
seen navigating the province’s highways or in some
yards elsewhere in the municipality.
“If this particular vehicle is derelict in appearance
we have numerous vehicles on the road that are registered that should be immediately taken off the road because they would meet the same definition of derelict,”
Councillor Terry Dorey said.
The Municipal Government Act defines a derelict
vehicle as one that’s “left on property … [and] appears to
the administrator to be disused or abandoned by reason
of its age, appearance, mechanical condition or, where
required by law to be licensed or registered, by its lack
of licence plates or current vehicle registration.”
Councillor Carolyn Bolivar Getson made a point in
suggesting the issue could cause further problems.
“I’d like to go on the record of saying I believe I have
a derelict vehicle because I have a Volkswagen Bug that
didn’t come on the road this year and is sitting in my
yard and it’s not safety inspected, registered and it’s
probably a $20,000 vehicle … I think that we’ve gone looking for something here that could open up a real can of
worms in our municipality.”
Councillor Dorey was concerned about the purpose of
local government in such circumstances.
“If we put open season on vehicles that have a little
rust spot … and if someone comes along and is able to
say they’re derelict, we’re going to be not a very popular
council in terms of what our job is here … ,” he told his
civic government colleagues.
“My God, we must have more important things to deal
with than something like this.”

Polling District and Councillor Review 2014
The Town of Lunenburg Council is required by Provincial legislation to conduct a public
consultation process every eight years regarding the number and boundaries of polling
districts (wards) and Councillors in the Town. The last review was conducted in 2006.
It confirmed the number of polling districts as one - the entire Town of Lunenburg, and
the number of Council members as six. The results of the upcoming public review will
be shared with the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (NSUARB) for further public
consultation and decision making.

Council turns down funding request
By ROBERT HIRTLE
CHESTER — A request from the Society for the
District 1 Community Centre for a grant of $10,000
to cover costs of a trio of projects has been denied
by Chester Municipal Council.
The society made the request back in April,
asking for $8,000 to replace plumbing in the community centre building, $1,600 to cut down and chip
trees and brush which were obstructing the view
at Deep Cove look-off, and $400 to keep the look-off
mowed so that tourists could more easily access
the current interpretive panels at the site as well as
additional panels proposed by the Heritage Society.
In July council referred the request back to the
society for more information, as financial statements and projected budget figures were not included in their original submission.
The application then came back to council for
consideration on September 18.
During the discussion, Councillor Andre Veinotte told his colleagues that the brush clearing
had already been carried out by the provincial Department of Transportation at his request, so the
$1,600 for that work would not be required.
With regard to mowing the look-off, there was
some confusion among councillors as to who actually owns the property in question and the point
was raised that the municipality had previously
contributed to the initial funding of both sets of
panels.
“I think the trouble we’re having is it appears
to be all the same project, none of which is owned
by us or them, and we’re getting various grant
requests all really for the same project, which is
sort of skating around the notion that we only give
one grant per group,” Warden Allen Webber said.
“Traditionally what we’ve asked people to do is put
all your asks in one grant application and from one
organization, because it’s all the same project.”
He said next year one organization should take
ownership of the look-off site project and make all
their funding requests pertaining to it in one grant
application.
Council also turned down the $8,000 request to
replace the plumbing in the community centre,
citing the fact the society was granted $6,000 by
council last year towards the same project.
In that grant application, the society said it had
already spent $7,200 to remove the nearly 30-yearold copper pipe in the washrooms and showers as
well as the janitor’s closet and replace it with PVC
pipe.
In this year’s request, they presented an estimate of $9,145 to replace the remainder of the
existing lines in the hall, starting at the pressure
tank and ending at the new pipe installed in the
first phase.
Financial statements submitted by the society
showed a $56,846 balance in their capital reserve
fund and an available operating balance of $11,922.
“It’s very difficult to justify funding a project
that we funded last year again this year when they
have more than sufficient funds to do it,” Warden
Webber said.

Chester wants MODL to match funds
By ROBERT HIRTLE
CHESTER — We’ll pay if they’ll pay.
That’s the message two members of the All
Nova Scotia Green Christmas Trees Co-op Limited
[ANSGC] were told last week when they made a
presentation to Chester Municipal Council looking
for funding to help build markets for their industry.
Devry Russell and Marty Murphy presented the
request for $2,500, which would match $2,500 being
put up by the co-op, and would be used to hire a
consultant to develop specific market opportunities and to fund a trip to Puerto Rico to network
and secure their existing market.
Along with Puerto Rico, other areas of focus
include brush orders in Quebec as well as fundraising and wreath markets locally and through the
Halifax Regional School Board.
“Funding assistance from the Municipality of
the District of Chester would support the development of these new markets and improve
the economic impact of the Nova Scotia
Christmas tree industry,” a letter accompanying the application stated.
Statistically, the co-op currently has 38
active members, ten of which live in the
Municipality of Chester. The Lunenburg

BRIDGEWATER — Taking a case of
beer from a local liquor store earned
Shawn Lawrence Joudrey a court sentence of 12 months probation.
Lawyer Cathy Benton entered a guilty
plea to a theft charge September 24 on
behalf of her 49-year-old client.
Conditions attached to the probation sentence include Mr. Joudrey being
banned from possessing or consuming alcohol and he is ordered to stay away from
places where alcohol is readily for sale.
Mr. Joudrey’s also to take any counselling
as deemed necessary, such as for mental
health issues.
Crown attorney Michelle MacDonald
told court that video surveillance viewed
by police showed Mr. Joudrey stealing a
case of Rickard’s Red from the Lunenburg liquor store last November.
County Christmas Tree Co-op also has membership in the ANSGC Co-op with ten members, one of
which is located in the District of Chester.
When questioned, Mr. Russel told council his
group had not approached the Municipality of
Lunenburg for financial assistance, even though
more of their members live and grow trees in that
district than in Chester.
“I’d be happier to give you half of that [$2,500] if
the Municipality of Lunenburg gives you the other
half,” Warden Allen Webber said, pointing out,
however, that although that set up would be fairer,
the Municipality of Chester would still be paying
more than its share based on the geographics of
the co-op’s membership.
Council agreed with the warden’s proposal and
Mr. Russel said he will make a similar request to
the Municipality of Lunenburg to see if they will
contribute half of the amount requested.
“And if they don’t then I guess we’ll have to
think about it again,” Warden Webber said.

Drainage debt left to homeowner
By LISA BROWN
MAHONE BAY — A Mahone Bay resident isn’t going to be getting a cheque
from the town to help cover costs of solving drainage issues on her property.
MJ Sakurai asked council for consideration after completing nearly $5,400
worth of work at 52 Clairmont Street.
Storms have sometimes caused a ditch
there to overflow, flooding the backyard
and, on one occasion, the basement.
Ms Sakurai recently had remaining
sections of culvert removed, the banks
of the 80-foot ditch stabilized and a small
bridge constructed.
She appeared before town council September 9 requesting assistance with the
bill.
Ms Sakurai told officials an engineer’s
report determined the ditch on her property funnels water from one-quarter of
a square kilometre, which includes the
park, children’s playground, the upper
part of Clairmont Street and Sullivan’s
Pond.
“I think that by the time that drain
gets to my house, it’s no longer a natural
water course,” she said.
At the public part of the meeting,
Councillor Penny Carver spoke in favour
of Ms Sakurai’s request, suggesting the
town accepts responsibility “for some
aspects of storm drains” by maintaining
culverts at driveway entrances.
“I’m just feeling sympathetic,” Councillor Carver said.
CAO Jim Wentzell indicated those culverts are on town property.
Mayor Joe Feeney said situations similar to Ms Sakurai’s exist all over town and
have for many years.
“We don’t normally take any responsibility,” he said.
Because the town had received a legal
opinion on the situation, council continued discussions in camera later that
evening. Officials eventually decided not
to provide financial assistance.
In a telephone interview last week, the
mayor indicated officials felt the drainage problem stemmed from a natural
water course and the town historically
has not funded similar work.
“Normally we don’t do that and in this
case we didn’t either,” he said.
Mayor Feeney suggested the catchment
basin is likely beyond what was found by
Ms Sakurai’s engineer.
He believes some of Hawthorne Hill
and the area behind the old school drains
into Sullivan’s Pond. Some of the water
goes underground and is pumped from
underneath the post office, but the remainder heads toward Ms Sakurai’s property.
However, he reiterated that similar
drainage courses exist all over town.
“Any of those homeowners in the past
have been required to do their own work
on their own properties. The town has no
responsibility to go onto private property
and do work unless we are contributing
or we’ve created the problem,” Mayor
Feeney said.
“You’d like to try to help in those situations, but in fairness to everybody else
you can’t.”

Q: What should I do if I lose my hearing
suddenly?
A: Anyone dealing with sudden hearing loss needs to be
evaluated by a physician and an audiologist as soon as
possible.

The power of positive thinking
World-travelling cyclist
has had 28 cancer operations
By TRACY WILLIAMS
Six-time world traveler, avid cyclist
and famous cancer survivor Randolph
Westphal expects to leave Nova Scotia
to go home to Germany for what he feels
might be the last time this week.
“I think I may be going home to die,” he
says casually, seemingly unfazed by the
prospect of heading home to Frankfurt
on September 25 due to a possibly cancerous growth reappearing on his neck.
“This time I think it may get me. I’ve
lived twenty-six years longer than they
said [I would].”
His pragmatic approach certainly
doesn’t mean he’s giving up, but he may
need to make some adjustments if he is
again declared cancer free, since he needs
a second hip replacement, along with an
artificial knee.
“I’ll hop on my motorbike with the
sidecar and my dogs and maybe head off
to South America,” he says with a smile
during a recent stop on the South Shore.
Mr. Westphal, who was first diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1987, has
spent the last twenty-six years travelling
around the world an astounding six times
on his bicycle, accompanied by his dogs.
His first diagnosis was of malignant
melanoma, which had spread to his
lymph nodes, and the statistics gave him
six to 12 months to live.
“I could not believe it,” he says. “I was
[active], I did not drink, I did not smoke.
I came to believe that my cancer was the
result of negative stress that I experienced from childhood until I was 29. I had
no home, no love as a child.”
After the diagnosis, Mr. Westphal decided to attack his negative stress head
on. He decided to keep smiling, get out
and challenge himself and do something
he had always loved to do — cycling.
“Perhaps if I put some positive stress
on my body, doing what I love to do,
maybe I will have a few months longer,”
he reasoned.
The tactic seemed to work. He spent a
lot of the next year on his bicycle, working hard and thinking positive.
“After six months, I was not dead. After
twelve months, I was not dead. Nobody
will give you work because if you have
cancer, they think you will die. I did not
want to fall into a depression, so I said,
‘okay, I’ll hop on my bike with my dog
Shar Khan,’ and we travelled over 3,500
kilometres through the Alps in the next
seven weeks.”
From there, he saw no reason for his
journeys to end.
“I wasn’t sick,” he insists. “I just had
cancer.”
In January 1990, he arrived in North
America for the first time.
“I mostly camped. It was okay. I was
still young,” he laughs.
“I arrived in Newfoundland, on one of
the coldest weeks, 25 years ago. My equipment at this time was not very good. I got
frostbite while camping on my hands and
feet.”
Mr. Westphal eventually ended up in
Montreal, where he got a medical checkup. The medical staff, impressed with his
positive outlook, implored him to address
the other cancer patients in the hospital.
It was his first time speaking in public
about his adventures. There were more
than two dozen patients present, along
with two newspapers, a television network and a radio station.
“I was close to a heart attack,” he
laughs. “But I started to talk and people
started to cry, even with my bad English.”
His encounter with this first group
of fellow cancer survivors solidified his
desire to continue and to spread his message about conquering cancer with a
positive attitude.
“These people were always feeling
sorry for themselves, saying, ‘doctor, heal
me.’ No doctor in the world can heal. He
can make operations, make treatments,
do everything in his power, but it starts
in the mind.”
Mr. Westphal is convinced it is primarily the power of positive thinking that
helped him stay alive this long, despite
enduring 28 cancer operations during
the last 26 years, and surviving a stint in
a wheelchair after a vehicle collision in
South America that killed his first dog.
“I lost my left leg and they had to reattach it,” he says, pulling down his sock
and showing his mangled lower limb. He
also lost his ability to speak for a time, as
well as his sense of smell, as a result of
the crash. The doctors told him he would
never walk again.
“But here I am in Lunenburg,” he
grins.
“Never give up,” he says. “That’s what
I try to tell people.”

companions,

leash. Her third
cat, Beau (not
shown), is a little
camera shy.
Owner’s name: Shawna Hannam, Bridgewater
Pet: Athena, two years old, black-and-white shorthair
Her story: Athena has been with Ms Hannam since she was an eight-week-old
kitten. The feline was born without a tail. Ms Hannam said Athena is extremely
intuitive and likes to fetch. She is leash and harness trained and considered a
mommy’s girl.
Pet: Abigayle, one year old, calico
Her story: Abigayle was adopted because Athena needed a sister. She is extremely affectionate and has no fears. She is also leash trained.
Pet: Beau, two years old, white shorthair
His story: The only male of the bunch, Beau came through the SPCA from a
hoarder who had over 50 cats. Initially, the tomcat was fearful of all humans, but he
has since warmed to Ms Hannam. Unfortunately, she is the only person who gets to
see his goofy personality.

Things
By PAULA LEVY

the tea-service set

by craftsmen who
worked on the original Bluenose.
PAULA LEVY PHOTO
Ten things you didn’t know about ...
Roxie Smith, Lunenburg, former South Shore Health board
chairwoman
1. Isn’t actually a Lunenburger. She was born in Mahone Bay.
Her family moved to Lunenburg when she was about six
years old.
2. During her school years at the Lunenburg Academy, she
was afraid to go in the basement because she thought it was
haunted.
3. Once was called into work at 3 a.m. but couldn’t make it immediately because a drunk man was passed out behind her
car.
4. Witnessed the launching of the Bounty.
5. Has a tea-service set that was refinished by craftsmen who
worked on the original Bluenose. She was attempting to
refinish the set in her driveway when Jack Purdy and Maurice Levy came over and told her she was doing it wrong.
They took over and finished the job.
6. Met her husband Ben after he fell off a car and she was the
technician who had to X-ray his wrist. He had fractured it
while drinking away his sorrows from a breakup.
7. Found a secret compartment in a sea-chest that belonged to
her husband’s great-grandmother. It didn’t contain silver or
gold but it had family property deeds dating back to early
1800s.
8. In the 1970s heard Newfoundland premier Joey Smallwood
speak in Burgeo, Newfoundland.
9. Is a savvy shopper. In fact, her favourite reading material is
the weekly flyers. She is known to never buy anything unless it’s on sale but admits to buying a bracelet at regular
price once, 10 years ago.
10. Can remember faces and names of everyone she meets, but
can never find her purse, keys or cheque book.
Citizens encouraged
to open homes to newcomers
for Thanksgiving
Nova Scotia families are being encouraged to sign up to renew an age-old tradition by welcoming new Nova Scotians to
their home for Thanksgiving dinner.
Share Thanksgiving is a national initiative coordinated here by Engage Nova
Scotia. It matches host families with newcomers and new families interested in
sharing Thanksgiving dinner.
“Nova Scotia has a history of welcoming newcomers that started over 400
years ago with the Mi’kmaq, who supported early European settlers with food,
shelter and survival skills for long, cold
winters,” says Engage Nova Scotia founding chairman Danny Graham.
“We want to ensure that those who
have chosen to make Nova Scotia their
home feel welcome, and that they stay
here to raise their families,” he adds.
“This is a chance for us to show that
we mean it when we say we want more
people in Nova Scotia. Sharing a Thanksgiving meal is a concrete way individual
Nova Scotians can take action to build a
more diverse and inclusive Nova Scotia.”
Nova Scotia’s reputation for hospitality is famous and Engage Nova Scotia believes – for economic, social, and cultural
reasons — it is time to build on that.
People interested in hosting or being
hosted can find out more and sign up
to participate by visiting www.enagenovascotia.ca and following the links for
Share Thanksgiving. Matches for likely
compatibility are based on a short list of
criteria.
Engage Nova Scotia is a non-partisan,
charitable coalition of people from across
the province trying to work together to
make Nova Scotia a more vibrant, inclusive and resilient place.

results, check on line at
www.ospreyridge.ca.
You couldn’t blame Parsons Construction for, perhaps, feeling just a
little extra motivated going into the
Bridgewater and Area Mixed League
year-end tournament and playoff last
week in Dayspring.
Parsons finished one point behind
the regular-season champions, the BMI
Freaks, claiming second overall, despite
having actually played two fewer games
than the champs.
During the year-end round robin,
Parsons ran the table, going 3-0 in divisional play and securing home-field
advantage all the way to the finals.
By the time the dust cleared from the
preliminary round playoff and quarterfinals, Parsons was matched up with
the O’Regan’s Subaru Outlaws in one
semi-final, while the BMI took on the
Northfield Gunners in the other semi.
After a hard-fought one-run win
against the Outlaws, the Parsons Construction club greeted, with open arms,
a chance to match-up head-to-head
against the Freaks in the finals, following the latter team’s fairly easy victory
over Northfield.
By the end of the second inning,
Parsons had jumped out to a lead, one
which they would nurse for most of the
game, with their attack being paced by
three Justin Trethewey home runs.
In the sixth inning, BMI clawed their
way back to within three of Parsons
and, with the intensity of the game
reaching a fever pitch – including a pair
of player ejections in the sixth and seventh innings — the Freaks got to within
one run before the Parsons defence was
able to snuff out the seventh-inning
rally, capturing their first playoff title
since 2009.
The final bit of business for the
Bridgewater and Area Mixed Softball
League in 2014 will take place over the
next three weeks as the captains meet
to elect a new executive for the 2015
season.

VARSITY GAME
CHRISS HERMAN PHOTO
The South Shore Peewee Seahawks
found themselves in a rough spot during September 27 action in the Nova
Scotia Minor Football League (NSMFL).
The 26-player roster was reduced to
20 with six players out for the trip to
Truro to face the Blue Bombers. In addition, no Seahawks team has ever won
in Truro, and the Bombers had a roster
of 37 players.
The Seahawks started the game on
offense and halfback Zach Hamm ended
their first drive with a 50 yard rush
for the first six points of the game.
Directly afterwards, he converted the
two-point attempt. Things did not improve from there for Truro. During the
Seahawks’ kickoff after the touchdown,
game MVP Logan Taylor raced down
the field, stripped the ball and took it in
for a special teams touchdown. It was
the second consecutive week he had
scored on special teams. Following another conversion, it was 16-0 Seahawks.
Meanwhile, the defense continues to
stifle teams through four games as they
forced the Blue Bomber offense into
their own end zone for a safety. The
Seahwks’ offense quickly capitalized
and marched down the field, with halfback Isaac Zinck scoring on a one-yard
run to make it 24-0 early in the second
quarter. Zach Hamm added one more
score on a 45 yard rush and the Seahawks went into the shade for a much
needed rest up 31-0 at the half.
The rest was not nearly enough,
though, as the depleted ‘Hawks roster was exhausted and Truro came out
hard and put six points on the board
to start the second half. The Seahawks
answered right back on a 70 yard pass
play from quarterback Drew Bolivar to
Zach Hamm.
Truro scored again but fumbled on
their third possession and free safety
Eli Langille pounced on it to give the
Seahawks possession.
The score was 39-18 when Isaac Zinck
scored on a 55 yard run. Later, a controversial penalty in the fourth quarter
backed the Seahawks up to their own 5
yard line. On the next play, Zach Hamm
took the handoff and was off to the
races for a 95 yard touchdown run — his
fourth of the game. The final score was
53-18, and evened the South Shore’s record to 2-2. They host Cape Breton this
weekend.
Meanwhile, the Bantam Seahawks
faced Truro last week. The game was
close at halftime, when Truro pulled
away for the victory.
The atom team also travelled to
Truro but due to a lack of players the
Seahawks had to forfeit the game.
This weekend at the Kinsmen field
will be the launch of breast cancer
awareness month and the Seahawks
are asking everyone to join them and
proudly show off their pink.

Under the best of circumstances you have approximately 1-2 minutes to safely exit your home when
you hear the smoke detector alarm.
Smoke alarms are inexpensive early warning devices that can save your life.
Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home including the basement, outside each
sleeping area, and inside each bedroom. Keep alarms away from doors and windows and do not
locate an alarm in front of air registers, fans or vents. Do not place detectors in a kitchen or directly
outside a bathroom where they may create false nuisance alarms.
Never remove or disable a smoke alarm. Your smoke alarm can’t protect you if the batteries have
been removed or a plug has been disconnected. For battery-operated smoke alarms make it a habit
to change the batteries twice a year.
Test smoke alarms at least monthly.
The lifespan of a typical smoke alarm is about 10 years, but some models last as little as 5 years. They
should be replaced as necessary according to the manufacturer’s information or immediately if they
do not respond properly when tested.

Keeping the kitchen safe
Preparing delicious dinners in a busy home requires awareness
By PATRICK HIRTLE
mail@southshorenow.ca
Situational awareness in the kitchen, including something as simple as
where you leave your oven mitts, is key to avoiding accidental fires during the upcoming festive cooking seasons.
‘Tis the season to gather with friends, family
and loved ones to give thanks.
It goes without saying, then, that whenever
there’s a large family get-together, there will be
plenty of deliciously prepared foods to satiate the
senses and the most voracious of appetites.
But in one’s haste to produce the most delicious
and lavish of meals, it’s often easy to overlook
some basic tenants of fire safety in the kitchen
– especially when there are family members or
guests causing distractions.
Here are some helpful hints to reduce the likelihood of a kitchen fire turning your fall hosting
duties into a dour occasion:
Clean surfaces – Basic household maintenance of your cooking surfaces can not only help
prevent fires, but it can also make sure that your
food tastes its best.
Whether you’re able to do it with a device, such
as a self-cleaning oven, or if you have to go at it
the old fashion way with a brush and some elbow
grease, making sure that burners, racks, and
grills are free of old, charred debris is just sound
kitchen safety.
Situational awareness – When cooking with
a hot stove top, or even a barbecue, there’s a good
chance you may wind up using oven mitts to move
a dish off a heating source.
Make sure that in the bustle of moving things
about that you don’t accidentally leave mitts,
aprons or other cooking paraphernalia on a hot
stove top or grill where they could come into direct
contact with a heating source and become a fire
hazard.
Timing is of the essence – It may seem simple,
but using a kitchen timer to alert you to when a
particular element of your culinary preparation
is complete can go a long way to helping to prevent
accidental kitchen fires connected to overcooking.
In the buzz of a busy household, it’s easy to lose
track of how long that roast has been in the oven.
Responding appropriately – If something
you’re cooking catches on fire on the stove top,
how you react in the first few moments is critical.
When cooking with fatty foods, you do not want
to try to extinguish a small fire with water. Instead, if possible, try to turn off the heat source,
then try smother the fire using a lid. If you can
eliminate the fire’s fuel, oxygen, you should be
able to get it quickly under control. Be mindful
not to use a glass lid, as glass can shatter under
extreme temperatures.
Failing that, you’ll want to rely on a an appropriate fire extinguisher, one containing Class B
dry-chemical components designed to deal with
grease fires.
And remember, when in doubt, if a fire breaks
out and you feel you can’t control it, immediately
get everyone out of your home and dial 911 to get
assistance from your local fire department.

Gushing about
extinguishers
Finding the right tools for the right small fires
By PATRICK HIRTLE
Fire Prevention Canada recommends using a fire
extinguisher that contains the multi-purpose ABC
dry chemical to help put out different types of
small fires in your home.
There’s a wide variety of fire and safety equipment
that can be used in-home to reduce the chances of a
fire having a devastating impact on your household.
One of the most fundamental pieces of equipment
to help immediately snuff out small fires is a handheld fire extinguisher.
What many people don’t realize is there are a variety of different portable fire extinguishers on the market which are designed to fight different types of fires.
For a fire involving an ordinary combustible, such
as paper, wood and upholstery, you need to use a Class
A type extinguisher.
Class B extinguishers are used to fight fires that
you may find in either your kitchen or garage – that is,
fires that involve a flammable liquid, such as gasoline,
fuel oil, paint, or a grease fire.
Class C fire extinguishers are designed to fight fires
that involve electrical equipment or, in other words,
any fire that may have stemmed from wiring or overheated fuses.
Finally, Class D fire extinguishers are a dry-powderbased fire extinguisher, designed to combat small fires
involving metals, such as magnesium and sodium.
Fire Prevention Canada recommends if there’s a
possibility you’ll want to guard against more than one
type of fire in your home, you may wish to strongly
consider purchasing an extinguisher that contains a
multi-purpose ABC dry chemical.
Like any other piece of equipment, fire extinguishers should be inspected on a regular basis and should
be recharged by a professional after any use.
As important as it is to have a fully charged fire
extinguisher in your home to combat small fires,
sometimes the best “equipment” you can have in your
arsenal comes in the form of knowledge and common
sense.
According to Fire Prevention Canada, if a fire
breaks out in your home, your first priority should
always be to get everyone outside immediately.
From there, someone can contact the local fire
department by cell phone or at a neighbour’s home.
Only then – and only if the fire is small – should you
consider trying to battle it with a hand-held fire extinguisher.

The only thing that Hailey wants is for

“I feel happy because I know that the
teasing will be over once they’re fixed,”
said Hailey. “Getting braces has made
me feel happy because I’m getting the
opportunity to change the way people
see me as well as a chance to boost my

hopeful that with time I’ll have a terrific

Preserving hooked rugs as artifacts of a
bygone age, and for the artists to be esteemed
for the skill involved in their creation, has
been the mission of Suzanne Conrod for
more than a decade.
Thanks to the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), that mission recently received
a helping hand.
Councillor Matt Whitman recently donated $10,000 to help complete a humidity
control system at the Hooked Rug Museum
of North America in Hubbards. The money
came from a discretionary fund available to
each HRM councillor to support worthy initiatives in his or her district.
Mrs. Conrod opened the museum in 2009
with her husband Hugh, believing that rugs
deserved a place to be admired. It is the only
one of its kind on the continent.
“It will give us the chance to finish the last
room to store the artifacts and rugs properly,
with the proper humidity control,” said Mrs.
Conrod in accepting the donation. The museum has a number of rooms, each showcasing pieces from different periods, or different
regions, from across North America.
Although Mrs. Conrod worries the art of
rug hooking is being lost with the passage
of time, pockets of rug hookers exist across
the Maritimes, the rest of Canada and into
the US, even as far south as Florida and as
far west as California. The board created
to govern the museum has representatives
FELIX MENDELSSOHN
w w w . m u s i q u e r o y a l e . c o m
from both countries.
“It’s such a draw for this part of HRM.
There are at least three ladies, who are on
the board, from the States that are here
today. The last time I was here there were
people from Texas. In the parking lot there
are New York plates, so it’s a real draw,” said
Mr. Whitman during the September 20 event.
In the main hall of the museum two artists are featured for the museum’s season,
which runs from May to October. One artist
is always from the United States and one artist is always from Canada.
In October, the museum will welcome a
bus tour of rug hookers from Japan.
Last weekend, approximately 50 rug hookers filled the hall as they “hooked in” and
worked on their creations. The museum, like
many rug-hooking clubs and guilds, hosts
several gatherings each summer, when rug
hookers can congregate and work on their
creations.
“I hope it’s not a dying art,” said Mr. Whitman. “Maybe that’s part of the fear. You look
at the demographic and you hope that this
will live forever. I think that this museum is
part of it living forever.”
The museum offers classes to those interested in learning the craft or interested in
improving their skills.
“I think [the museum] is marvelous. I
think it’s great that Nova Scotia is being recognized because a lot of hooking originated
in Nova Scotia,” said Barbara Black from
Amherst, who came for both the presentation and to hook in.

Artist-in-Residence Andrew Maize is currently creating the Lunenburg House Paint Project
at the Lunenburg School for the Arts.
“I’ve got a little card and I’m going
door to door and asking people for a little
[paint] sample,” Mr. Maize explains. “I’m
collecting the main body, the highlights —
anything on the exterior.”
He says Lunenburgers have a long history of being meticulous when it comes to
painting their homes, and that is a ritual
that has continued to this day.
“Almost every year they touch up
things, you know, they paint one side of
the house and kind of rotate around.”
Squares representing houses that are
clad in vinyl siding — of which about 20
per cent are in Old Town — or constructed of a material other than painted wood,
will be left blank.
“It’s going to be an ongoing thing,
hopefully, and I have a dream that this
maybe could be a permanent installation
somewhere in town and could get updated
every year, so if the house paint colours
change you could come down and paint
your house.”
Mr. Maize is inviting the public to an
open house at the studio on October 4
and 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. so people can
learn about and participate in the project.
Lunenburg School of the Arts to hold open house
By ROBERT HIRTLE
The fledgling Lunenburg School of the
Arts will hold it’s first public open house
on October 4.
The facility is the brainchild of Dr.
Wilfred Moore, who first broached the
subject back in 2011 after he met with
Doug Bamford, senior ceramics technician at the Nova Scotia College of Art and
Design [NSCAD] in Halifax.
“We were there on the occasion of the
visit of the director of the Haliburton
School of the Arts from Haliburton, Ontario,” Dr. Moore recalls. “They bring
into their community in the neighbourhood of 3,000 people each summer offering week-long courses.”
He and Mr. Bamford started talking
about the possibility of establishing such
an initiative in Lunenburg, but never got
serious about it until about a year ago.
“We put together a good team of volunteers and we got ourselves incorporated
federally as a not-for-profit,” he says.

Ceramic artist earns
prestigious honour
Walter Ostrom awarded 2014 Regis Masters
By PAULA LEVY
Lao village artisan weaves silk at her loom.
Fair trade textile business
wraps up
For seven years, Mahone Bay-based
Tammachat Natural Textiles has visited
and worked with more than a dozen
women’s weaving co-ops, social enterprises, certified fair trade businesses
and family weaving groups in Thailand
and Laos.
This fall, co-founders Alleson Kase
and Ellen Agger will be wrapping up
their business with a large textile show
in Mahone Bay from October 3 to 5, and
with a number of smaller shows around
the province.
By helping hundreds of international
weavers reach new customers in Canada, Tammachat supported them in their
efforts to preserve their artistic and cultural traditions and to create additional
income for rural families.
Ms Kase, who returned to Canada
after living eight years in Thailand to
pursue a degree in international development, said, “When women have
money, they spend it on nutrition, education and housing.
“This work has helped enhance the
status of women in their communities,”
she added, “and we’ve been proud to
support that. Their textiles are beautiful, especially the organic silk scarves
and fabrics.”
However, the membership of weaving
groups in Thailand has shrunk over the
years, explains Ms Kase, despite their
attempts to find new, younger members.
“When the co-op that inspired us to
launch Tammachat Natural Textiles announced last year its decision to close
its shop, we were prompted to re-examine our own priorities. We decided, like
the members of Prae Pan, that we were
ready for a change.”
Since 2007, Tammachat has sold more
than 5,000 handwoven, naturally dyed
and fairly traded textiles through shows
and fairs across Nova Scotia. Tammachat has also donated thousands of books
to children in rural Laos through Big
Brother Mouse, a pioneering social enterprise that works to increase literacy
in Laos. Its program publishes and distributes books in the Laotian language,
featuring the work of young Laotian artists who create beautifully illustrated
books for young readers. Tammachat
gives one book to a child in Laos for each
textile piece it sells to support this project.
Ms Kase and Ms Agger plan to continue their travels in Southeast Asia and
hope to find new ways of connecting
with communities there. Meanwhile,
they will hold their final big show during the Great Scarecrow Festival and
Antique Fair at the Mahone Bay Centre,
this weekend.
“We want their stories to inspire others. These are hard-working and remarkable women who weave very special textiles that are both beautiful and
environmentally friendly,” Ms Kase
said.

Internationally recognized ceramic
artist Walter Ostrom was recently awarded the 2014 Regis Masters in Minneapolis.
Mr. Ostrom is the Northern Clay Center’s 27th Regis Master.
The Regis Masters Series, which began
in 1997, honours senior artists who have
had a major impact on the development
of 20th- and 21st-century ceramics.
Mr. Ostrom has had nearly four decades of teaching his craft. He was recently appointed professor emeritus of
ceramics by the Nova Scotia College of
Art and Design. In 1997, he was awarded
an honorary professorship at the Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute in China.
Considered one of Canada’s most
highly respected and influential ceramic
artists, Mr. Ostrom was named the 27th
recipient of the Saidye Bronfman Award
in 2003 and in 2006 was inducted into the
Order of Canada.
The Garden Lots resident is regarded
internationally as a technical and academic expert in tin glaze, an ancient
ceramic technique that he has personally
tailored, through innovations and decorative methods, to reflect the geography of
the places where he has lived, whether in
Nova Scotia or the Far East.
His body of work has developed across
many aspects of ceramics in the span of
his nearly 50-year career, from experiments in high conceptualism in the 1970s
to his later exploration of the vast history, hybridization and social foundation
of ceramics.
Mr. Ostrom has exhibited extensively
and lectured internationally. He has participated in more than 100 group and solo
exhibitions throughout North America
and has presented over 150 workshops
and lectures in Canada, the United States,
Europe and Asia.
His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Victoria and
Albert Museum, London; the Canadian
Museum of Civilization, Ottawa; the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; the Gardiner
Museum of Ceramics, Toronto; the Art
Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax; and the
Claridge Collection, Montreal.

Quilt Guild hosts show and sale
Annual event is group’s largest fundraiser
The Mahone Bay Quilt Guild is planning a show and sale from October 3 to 5.
The show and sale held at the Blockhouse fire hall features over 100 quilts on
display, including traditional quilting but
also includes the work of numerous artists who use quilting techniques and fabrics to create amazing original art pieces,
according to a release.
Guild president Cathy Drummond says
the bi-annual show displays the best work
of members, raises money for charity and
is the group’s main fundraiser.
“It’s an exciting show, attracting quilters and quilt lovers from all parts of
Nova Scotia.”
Quilts of every size and style will be
showcased. Another highlight is the challenge quilts, which are sold at the show by
silent auction.
“This year 32 kits of fabric were purchased by individual quilters who accepted the challenge of creating a wall
hanging from the fabrics with the theme
‘Music to my Ears.’ All proceeds from
the silent auction will be donated to the
Christmas Daddies Telethon, which supports Lunenburg County families in need
at Christmas time.”
From its humble beginnings 23 years
ago, when half a dozen dedicated quilters
got together to share their love of quilting, the guild has grown steadily and now
has an active membership over 130.
The purpose of the Guild is to:
• bring together people who have an
interest in quilting in any form;
• learn and develop quilting skills and
share fellowship;
• promote appreciation for all forms of
quilting; and,
• encourage recognition and appreciation of all members work.
The guild supports learning by offering workshops by teachers from across
Canada and internationally, as well as
benefiting from the many excellent and
experienced teachers within the guild
itself. There are presentations at the
monthly meetings and opportunities to
share techniques and ideas.
Because of the active program of
workshops and activities, the guild has
attracted members from beyond the Mahone Bay region and Lunenburg County.
An increasing number of the members
come from the Annapolis Valley and the
Halifax area. Many members are well
known nationally and internationally for
their quilting expertise. Members range
from beginning quilters to master craftswomen and include those who are skilled
at traditional patterns and hand-stitching
techniques; quilters who combine traditional patterns with machine quilting
techniques; and art quilters and other
fibre artists.
The work of the Guild preserves historic quilting techniques, which are still
relevant today, but also builds on them
in continually new and exciting ways,
reflecting the continuum of this enduring craft.
In addition, the guild has a strong tradition of charity work. Each year over 100
quilts are made and donated to organizations including IWK, Ronald MacDonald
House, Mental Health foundation of NS,
Fisherman’s Memorial Hospital and Harbour House.
This past year, the guild donated over
460 hours creating a commemorative
quilt for the Mahone Bay School House
100th Anniversary.
Mahone Bay Quilt Guild and their
members have received many awards.

COUNTY — For many kids in Lunenburg County, riding a bike is only something their parents and grandparents
talked about.
“Exploring their neighbourhood on a
bike was a rite of passage for yesterday’s
kids,” said a release from the United Way
of Lunenburg County.
For some local families, the high cost
of living makes bike ownership simply
unattainable.
“That’s a shame, because it doesn’t
have to be that way,” said the release.
“For every kid that wants a bike, and
every adult that could use a bike to get to
work, or every parent that wants to spend
some active time with the kids, there is at
least one matching bike sitting in someone’s garage or basement looking for a
second lease on life.”
Enter the United Way of Lunenburg
County’s Bikes for Kids initiative.
“Now entering its third year, the Bikes
for Kids Program has put 132 previously
forgotten bikes back into the community
and back on the road.”
Until November 7, the United Way will
be once again collecting new and gently
used bikes at the centre court of the

Margaret “Sally” Tompkins, of
Bridgewater, passed away peacefully
Tuesday, July 29, 2014, in the South
Shore Regional Hospital with her
family by her side.
Born in Bridgewater, June 12, 1923,
she was the daughter of the late
Dean and Helen (Beck) Frank.
Sally is survived by daughters
Elizabeth (Luke Dugas) Durling,
Digby; Donna (Paul) Conrad,
Hebbville; Louise (Wayne) Wentzell,
Auburndale; grandchildren, Tracey
(Dave) Macmillan, PEI; Tammy (John
Cramb) Brown, Scotland; Darren
(Tina Cooper) Durling, Halifax; great-grandchildren Jennifer, Connor and Kieran
Brown, Scotland; Melanie Macmillan, PEI; Emily Macmillan, Alberta; Mason
Cooper Durling, Halifax; sister-in-law, Goldie (Gordon) Martin, Bridgewater; along
with many nieces and nephews.
Sally was predeceased by her husband, Harold; daughter, Diane Trupp; sister,
Marion “Jackie” Frank; brothers, Eddie Frank and Arthur Frank, in infancy; son-inlaw, Fred Trupp.
Sally was a quiet lady. She loved her life as a wife and a mother. It was very
important to her that her family was well cared for with good homemade meals,
a clean home and clean clothes. She loved family gatherings. Every summer she
looked forward to “that crew from Ontario” coming home for family picnics,
corn boils, clam digging, family horseshoe tournaments, etc. She became quite
famous for the delicious foods she would bring to each gathering.
Each year for years, Sally looked forward to her and Harold boarding a plane for
Ontario and/or Alberta to spend about two months of winter with their daughter
Diane and her family. Diane couldn’t come to them so they went to her.
Sally loved going for car drives. She looked forward to weekly trips to the valley.
She enjoyed short trips to different communities in the area. She also loved
going on vacation with Donna and Paul to part of the states, Newfoundland,
Nova Scotia, PEI, etc.
Sally LOVED Broad Cove. For years she looked forward to the long weekend in
May to pack up and go camping first on Broad Cove beach and later on Flat Hill
Road where Donna and Paul have a cottage. Most weekends from May until
Thanksgiving weekend you would find Sally and Harold camping in Broad Cove.
Sally was so much stronger than people thought. It was felt when Harold passed
away she wouldn’t be able to go on. She did despite the fact she missed him terribly. After Harold’s death she had a number of upsets in her life. Each time she
kept going. Even her last few weeks with all the tests and procedures, she was
stronger than one ever would have thought. Sally taught us a lot about life’s ups
and downs. In fact, she taught us a lot about life for which we are very thankful.
Funeral service was held 2 p.m., Friday, August 1, in Sweeny’s Funeral Chapel,
Bridgewater, with Rev. Willis Ott officiating. The organist was Barb Milbury. The
hymns were “Amazing Grace” and “In the Garden.” The Eulogy was given by
Sally’s niece, Linda Salek and Sally’s daughter, Louise. Burial was at the
Brookside Cemetery, Bridgewater. Pallbearers were George Chambers, Edward
Conrad, George Durling, Mark Frank, Fred Salek and Gary Wentzell. Honourary
pallbearer was Gordon “Bud” Martin. Floral tributes were: Casket spray, daughters, Elizabeth (Luke), Donna (Paul) and Louise (Wayne); Casket heart arrangement, grandchildren, Tracey (Dave), Tammy (John) and Darren (Tina); Casket garland of white roses, great-grandchildren, Jennifer, Connor, Kieran, Melanie, Emily
and Mason. Memorial donations were made to All Saints Lutheran Church; St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church; Danesville Church; Calvary Lutheran Church; St. Mark’s
Anglican Church; the Family; the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada; VON
Lunenburg County Branch; IWK Health Centre Foundation; Heart and Stroke
Foundation; Canadian Diabetes Association.
Card of Thanks
We would like to thank all those who offered their help, love and support during
this very difficult time. Thanks to Dr. David Barss, Peggy and Susie for their care
over the past number of years. Special thanks to the VON for their help and their
kindness. Thanks to the doctors, nurses and all the staff on the fourth floor of the
South Shore Regional Hospital and Unit 4.1 at the QEII. Thank you to the ambulance attendants for their assistance. A special thank you to the staff of Sweeny’s

“We also operate a quarry in Chester.
That’s where all the raw materials come

The company

Out of that need grew a commercial
enterprise called the South Shore Truck
Centre, which now provides parts and
service for a wide variety of trucks and
heavy equipment. Its parts manager travels all over the province selling products
to a wide variety of businesses.
However, due to the economic downturn, South Shore Ready Mix is feeling
the affects along with most other local
businesses, and in turn is looking toward
innovation to keep moving forward.
“Our business is cyclical in nature,”
explains Mr. Nickerson.
“Construction tends to run in a cycle
based on the strength of the economy.
Right now residential development is
quite slow. That does have an impact on
the amount of materials being required.
“However, a new area of business for
us is in wind turbine development. Across
the Maritimes you are seeing these pop
all over. There are about 70 to 100 of these
turbines being built across the province
and two were built recently in Whynott’s
Settlement. Our role in that is to provide
concrete for the base that supports the
tower.”
In addition, the company is community minded, and supports a number of
local sports teams and charities, along
with raising money every year for the
Salvation Army. It also supplies raw materials to fire departments for infrastructure projects and contributes valuable
materials to the construction of local
skateboard parks.
“We’re proud to have been here and a
steady and stable employer for 50 years,”
said Mr. Nickerson.
“And proud of what we’ve given back
to the community.”

LaHave Natural Farms triples production
Company hiring new employees as a result
By JONATHAN WADDELL
Lovers of haskaps, prepare to be inundated.
LaHave Natural Farms has three times
as many haskap berries this year compared to last season, according to Liam
Tayler, commercial director at LaHave
Forest Products, the parent company of
LaHave Natural Farms, where haskap
berries are grown, and Haskapa, the
value added wing of the operation.
“We had six tons of berries last year
and this year we have just over 20 tons,”
said Mr. Tayler.
“That has been the availability pretty
much across Canada.”
About half of that 20 tons is coming
from Quebec and the remaining half is
grown here in Nova Scotia, approximately 60 percent of which comes from the
LaHave Natural Farm in Northfield. The
rest comes primarily from a farm in the
Valley.
The majority of Canadian berries in
previous years came from Saskatchewan.
In 2014, however, no berries are coming
from the prairie province due to poor
quality.
Meanwhile, the local company will be
hiring two new employees before Christmas, and Mr. Tayler anticipates further
growth for 2015-2016 as well.
KIRA CURTIS PHOTOS
Tessa Bermarija, left, and Camilla Daniels are pictured at Honeyberry Hurst Farm on Northfield Road.
“The more primary production we
have, the more opportunity we have to
expand our distribution.”
LaHave Natural Farm has three farms
in Northfield, with a total of 60 acres. The
plan is to expand the growing area by 20
acres per year until
100 acres are reached.
Of the current land, only five acres are
producing at about 40 percent capacity.
Next year another five acres are expected
to be at 40 percent and the first five acres
at 75 percent. The year after that, 20 acres
should be running at 40 percent, five
acres at 75 percent and five acres at 100
percent.
“So our yield is going to be increasing
year on year,” said Mr. Tayler.
LaHave Forest Products has an additional 200 acres of land which is being
converted into haskap orchards as investment properties. LaHave Forest Products
will manage the land, including the maintenance and the harvesting, for investors.
Already five 10-acre lots have been sold.
In addition, between 250,000 and 300,000
plants have been sold this year alone,
which equates to 300 acres, to others
who
want
to harvest
berries.
The haskap
is a natural fit
for wild blueberry
farmers as the former is
available for harvest in
June, long before blueberries are ready to be
picked.
“The investors likes
the fact that they
know we’re going to
be here to buy the
berries from them,”
said Tayler.
Meanwhile, Haskapa is in the final
stages of having products available in select Sobeys, including
in Bridgewater.
“All of our products will be going in.
We’ll be having our condiment range, our
dried and our juice, as well as our gift
pack,” said Mr. Tayler.
Along with Acadian Maple, Haskapa
will release a new product, a Haskap
Maple Syrup blend, at a food show in Ontario in November.

Couple opens food truck in Blue Rocks
By LEENA ALI
BLUE ROCKS — Two artists in Blue
Rocks are hoping an addition to their
business will help attract more visitors
to the area.
Helen Dalton and Don Dunnington,
owners of the Blue Hog Studio and Gallery, opened up a food truck this spring,
offering everything from ice cream to
pulled pork.
“We have to create our own little destination,” said Mr. Dunnington.
“[People] drive in, look around, turn
around, drive out — they don’t stop for
anything — and this village has got a
whole lot of little potentials.”
Mr. Dunnington, a photographer, and
Ms Dalton, a graphic designer and painter, moved to the area about two years ago
and established the Blue Hog Studio and
Gallery, which features a selection of
their own artwork, including Ms Dalton’s
original charcoals, as well as products
from other local artisans such as stained
glass, wooden half models, custom jewellery, felting and handmade journals.
They thought the food truck would be a
way to support the gallery and to encourage people to visit Blue Rocks and stay
awhile. Customers can enjoy the scenery
and stroll down to the beach near their
property.
“The neighbourhood has been really
supportive,” said Ms Dalton.
Don Dunnington
and Helen Dalton
are the owners of
the Blue Hog Studio and Gallery
in Blue Rocks.
Back in May, they
added a food
truck to their
business, offering
hot dogs, burgers,
smoothies and
more.
“We have a steady 20-odd people that
come in every day — like tourists, neighbours [and] visitors,” she said, adding
the truck has also been a stop for those
kayaking in the area.
The Blue Hog food truck offers German
and Italian sausages, smokey American
hot dogs topped with cheddar and bacon,
hot dogs for kids, fish cakes, hamburgers,
Mexican chicken wraps, pulled pork and
grilled cheese sandwiches as well as ice
cream, fruit smoothies and even a Blue
Hog coffee blend.
“We try to support all local farms,”
said Mr. Dunnington.
“So far, everything’s been really wellreceived.”
With a licence, they have the ability to
take the food truck anywhere in the province and plan to take it to local events.
“My eventual dream would be to actually build a tea room here,” said Mr. Dunnington.
Ms Dalton also hopes to create an artisan map to showcase the talent in Blue
Rocks and to make the road near their
establishment safer for cyclists.
“We just want to make it tourist friendly. We don’t want to overkill the area, but
we want people coming in to be safe and
appreciate the beauty of it.”
The food truck will be open until November and potentially on weekends during the winter months.
Proposed solid waste regulatory
changes worry small businesses
By KEITH CORCORAN
COUNTY — The Municipality of
Lunenburg is raising its eyebrows at
changes to solid waste regulations proposed by the province that could mean a
recycling tariff on small businesses and
a requirement for them to track packaging throughout the life cycle of the trash
system.
“There’s nothing wrong with trying to
be environmental stewards of what we
have,” said Mayor Don Downe during a
recent council meeting, but, he said that
there has to be a balance point between
environment and economy.
At issue is the potential of the McNeil
government to broaden Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) to make businesses responsible for the expense of disposing of and recycling specific products
identified under EPR. An expanded EPR
would necessitate weighing, categorizing
and tracking packaging such as printed
paper products. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) told
a Transcontinental Media business publication that under the new measures,
small businesses would need to establish
a landfill diversion plan for their products.

“We are aware of the concerns being
expressed by small business and these
factors are being considered as part of
the consultation process,” Department
of Environment spokeswoman Heather
Fairbairn said in an email to southshorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin.
Five provinces with a printed paper
and packaging stewardship program
have put specific exemptions in place for
smaller businesses, Ms Fairbairn said.
“If adopted, it is anticipated that Nova
Scotia would also follow this approach.”
The CFIB isn’t alone in voicing concern. Some Bridgewater-area enterprises
went to the Sun News Network with their
displeasure concerning what the province may implement.
New EPR requirements “would probably eventually put me under,” Cynthia
Deveau, business owner of the Wildchild
Play Cafe, told the network.
“I don’t know where I’m supposed to
find any more hours in a day” to work to
make up for the extra costs, Jeff Landry
of Jessy’s Pizza told Sun News.
Any solid waste regulatory changes
would need approval before being established, and if there are amendments, Ms
Fairbairn added, they aren’t expected
until sometime next year.

ABCO-built boat off to Caribbean
By ROBERT HIRTLE
A new pilot boat built by Lunenburgbased ABCO Industries Limited is on
it’s way to the Caribbean.
The 36-foot craft, which is constructed of all-welded, marine-grade aluminum, will serve as a pilot boat for the St.
Maarten Ports Authority.
The vessel is powered by twin Marine
Jet Power water jets driven by Cummins
engines, which each develop 405 horsepower at 2,100 rpm.
It rates a cruising speed of 21 knots
and is capable of a maximum speed of
30 knots.
The boat was designed in-house by
ABCO on Ports Authority requirements
that called for “robust boat with good
accessibility for maintenance and basic
systems,” that is capable of meeting
ships in a variety of weather and sea
conditions.
ABCO developed a 3D computer
model which was submitted to the client for approval before any of the metal
was cut.
The model included a video simulation of actual pilot operations from
the boat and meant the Ports Authority
could have a virtual tour of the craft to
ensure the layout and design features
satisfied their requirements with particular consideration for helmsman vis-
ibility and console layout.
It took six months to actually build
the vessel, a period which was followed
by two weeks of sea trials off Lunenburg that took place in a variety of
conditions.
ABCO President John Meisner commended his staff for their work designing and constructing the boat, saying
they “have done another wonderful job.
“The boat handles really well and can
turn on a dime,” he said. “What’s most
important to us is that the Ports Authority like what we’ve done for them.
They’ve got what they wanted, and that’s
the main thing.”
That was exactly the case, according Capt. Eddy Johnson, Chief PilotManager of Martime Services at the St.
MaartenPort Authority.
“Our contact with ABCO was unexpected,” he said. “When we visited
and saw their production facility, we
were impressed. A great level of comfort
throughout the project was a real new
one for us.”
Capt. Johnson praised the ABCO
team for their work “from conception
to finish,” on a design which “turned
into a tough multi-tasking little piece of
equipment.
“The little ship exceeded our expectations in design, quality, performance,
practicality and price.”

Producers say tree research vital
By KEITH CORCORAN
COUNTY — Local Christmas tree producers see the science behind trying
to grow a flawless Christmas tree as a
potential industry game-changer.
The SMART Christmas Tree Research Co-operative is helping fund
multi-million dollar research led by the
Christmas Tree Research Centre, part
of Dalhousie University’s faculty of agriculture. The scientific probe into the
balsam fir includes studying matters
such as freshness and needle retention.
The goals include being able to promote
healthier, longer-lasting, highly marketable Christmas trees.
The Municipality of Lunenburg recently committed $15,000 in funding,
split over two years, toward the research.
“We are the balsam fir Christmas
tree capital of the world, in Lunenburg
County,” Mayor Don Downe said during
a recent council meeting. “This money
is research-based … It’s there for our
industry.
“There’s a lot of people that rely on
this industry and this business that,
through the winter months, allows them
to survive and find employment and it
plays a vital role in rural parts of our
community … This contribution is one
small step toward working with the industry to secure its future in Lunenburg
County.”
During a recent informal session of
Municipality of Lunenburg council,
Christmas tree growers Jim DeLong
of New Germany and Mike Keddy of
New Ross were present on behalf of
the co-operative and Lunenburg County
Christmas Tree Producers Association,
respectively, to accept funding.
Mr. DeLong said support for research
will make a difference.
“We were in the height of a perfect
storm,” Mr. DeLong recalled in remarks
to the council meeting.
“We had a Christmas tree glut in
North America, a high Canadian dollar
and we had a recession in one of our
main market places in the USA … This
[research] was brought into play to help
to hold our place in the industry and increase our market place in the industry.”
It will keep the “rural economic engine” running in Atlantic Canada, he
later told southshorenow.ca and the
Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin.
“This will keep funds and industry
rolling on our research to promote our
products, technologies and knowledge to
advance the market share of the balsam
fir Christmas tree industry,” he said.
Roughly half of Mr. DeLong’s 480
hectares worth of Christmas trees are
destined for the United States. He hires
close to 30 people during the work season.
Meanwhile, Mr. Keddy ships about
35,000 balsam firs to mostly a Canadian
market from his 120 hectares of trees.
The business of Christmas trees
translates to big money for the economy.
It’s a “$50 million industry,” Mr. Keddy
said. “You can’t say enough about how
important the industry is to rural Nova
Scotia.”
The co-operative’s received funding
from other sources, including two other
levels of government, and also raising
money by selling shares.

After 200 years, monument erected
to honour Greek family
A special memorial in honour of the Greek family founder has
been placed in the Lower Blue Rocks Cemetery.
When a family member passes away, it is customary to erect a headstone to mark their final resting
place.
This was not so in the case of the founder of the
Greek family in Nova Scotia. When Alexander Levante passed away in 1868 and his wife in 1871, there
was no known marker for them in the quiet rural
cemetery in Blue Rocks. As with other families of
modest means in those times, if there ever was a
marker it was made of wood and has long since disappeared with the ravages of time.
During the 200-year Greek family reunion in 2011,
a project was born to honour the family founders,
even though the exact location of their graves is not
known. It is known that both were buried in Blue
Rocks and, since the only cemetery in operation
at that time was the Lower Blue Rocks Cemetery,
descendants decided to purchase a lot in the newer
part of the cemetery and to erect a monument there.
Robert and Geraldine Greek of Dartmouth purchased the cemetery plot to kickstart the family
project. It is felt that Alexander and Margaret are
buried in the wooded area there, close to the water’s
edge in Mud Cove.
Now, three years of fundraising by Ingrid and
Karl Greek of Bridgewater have brought this family
project to a successful conclusion.
Many descendants donated to the financial campaign and a fitting memorial was installed recently
in the Lower Blue Rocks Cemetery.
On Sunday, September 21, a special worship service was held at St. Barnabas Anglican Church in
Blue Rocks, the home church for most of the Greek
family descendants. After the church service, Rev.
John Wright, the church choir and the full congregation paraded to the cemetery for a dedication service.
After the dedication, a time of fellowship was held at
the parish hall.
The inscription on the monument reads, “This is
to honour the memory of John Alexander Levante
born on Crete Abt. 1777-1868 and his wife Rosina
Margaret (Tanner) 1792-1871. They were founders
of all those bearing the Greek surname with roots
in Blue Rocks. Alex (the Greek) came to this community after his discharge from forced service in the
British Navy in 1811. He married in 1814 and made
his home on Great Faux Island, one of the three islands granted him in 1820.”
