Irishman finds
“Katie from
Nova Scotia”
By PAULA LEVY

RIVERPORT — A Lunenburg County
woman became the subject of international
media attention last week when an Irishman
made a romantic public appeal to find her.
According to CBC, Jamie Kelly of Galway,
Ireland, was on a Ryanair flight from Barcelona to Dublin when he met “Katie from Nova
Scotia.”
The two chatted during the flight and Mr.
Kelly felt they made a connection. During
Irish customs the two were separated and he
couldn’t find Katie in the luggage carousel
area.
He later unsuccessfully appealed to the airline, searched Facebook, sent out Tweets and
did media interviews to try and find her.
This newspaper has since confirmed the
“Katie from Nova Scotia” is Katie Moreau of
Riverport. The 26-year-old, who is still in Ireland, was in Spain for the summer. Her mother
recently joined her in Europe and they took a
trip to Dublin. That’s when Katie met Mr. Kelly.

BRIDGEWATER — The YMCA is investing more than
$50,000 in facility upgrades and new equipment.
The fitness centre, cardio centre and facility itself
will receive the biggest refresh in nearly 10 years.
“When we started looking at where we wanted to be
in 2016, one of the steps to get there was to refresh the
fitness facility,” says Johnathan Gregorash, director of
communications and philanthropy.
“When we looked at how we wanted to do that, we

went straight to the members,” he says, regarding the
YMCA’s strategic direction.
Upgrades to the fitness centre will include Olympic
rubberized plates, dumbbells, weight racks and new
weight machines such as a precor training station, a pec
deck, leg press and a new Smith machine, “As well as
brand new circuit training machines that are great for
beginners, so for those who have no history of formalized weight training we will have machines focused for
that group.”
The facility, located at 75 High Street in Bridgewater, will receive upgrades such as new lobby flooring,

He may not be a Kardashian,
but
Justin
Trudeau can create a stir
before he arrives and cut a
wake as he goes.
“I guess I hadn’t anticipated that,” said Jon Dimick
III, who had not fully appreciated Trudeau’s celebrity
when he agreed to host a
fundraiser at his Chester
home on August 24 for the
Liberal Party of Canada, an
event which Trudeau will
attend.
The announcement of
the event has brought national media attention to
the real estate developer
and his house, which is
currently for sale with an
asking price of $3.7 million, and the curious could
even gather along Pleasant Street in Chester the
night of the event to catch a
glimpse of the federal Liberal leader and eldest son
of former Prime Minister
Pierre Trudeau.
Mr. Trudeau has always
been a popular draw in
South Shore-St. Margarets,
according to Derek Wells,
the Liberal candidate from
the 2011 election.
Prior to that election, Mr.
Trudeau visited the riding
and was the star attraction
at a barbecue at the Oakhill
fire hall, which drew 400
people and raised approximately $30,000 for the local
election effort. At the time,
Mr. Trudeau was only the
Member of Parliament for
Papineau.
“It was still the biggest
fundraiser we’d had, and
we’ve had a lot of fundraisers in the South Shore riding,” said Mr. Wells.
Organizers are hoping
to attract about 150 people
to attend the August event.
Tickets will cost $500 apiece.
Mr. Dimick said that drinks
and hors d’oeuvres will be
served and Mr. Trudeau
will make a short speech
and mingle with the assembled guests.
Kirk Cox, the provincial campaign co-chair for
the federal Liberal party,
explained that most of
the money is destined for
the federal party’s coffers,

though some could go to the
local riding association.
“If people have already
given their maximum to the
Liberal Party of Canada,
the alternative is to donate
or contribute to the South
Shore-St. Margarets association,” said Mr. Cox.
Rick Welsford, the president of the local Liberal
riding association, said the
riding executive is awaiting
word whether or not Mr.
Trudeau will have time in
his schedule to add other
visits in the riding while he
is here.
However, Mr. Cox confirmed that an effort is
being made to find time for
Trudeau to make stops in
Lunenburg county.
“He’ll be doing some
things in the community,
which we haven’t finalized
yet.”
Mr. Dimick said he was
asked to host the party by
Liberal organizers and Mr.
Cox said people associated
with Scott Brison’s riding,
King’s-Hants, are coordinating most of the August
reception’s details.
“I thought it would be a
good thing for Chester,” Mr.
Dimick said.
Even a year away from
the next election a leader’s
visit is always welcomed by
a local riding and can be a
big boost for morale, said
Mr. Wells.
“You always want the
leader. It’s profile for your
riding. It gives a sense that
you are in play.”
Mr. Cox believes the longtime Conservative riding
presents an opportunity for
the Liberal Party, which is
doing well in public opinion
polls in the province and
has a popular leader. It’s
now a question for finding
the right candidate, which
he anticipates will happen
through a contested nomination.

School Board chairwoman
Jennifer Naugler was the
first candidate to declare
last month.
The South Shore-St. Margarets seat is currently held
by Gerald Keddy, who has
announced he will not run

Ms Moreau said she felt extremely overwhelmed by the

“We were just taking a relaxing day and then I went on

Although she has been chatting with Mr. Kelly through

“Who doesn’t feel a connection with someone you talk to

“I hope to see him, but we’ll
see.”
Ms Moreau will be returning to Canada on August 8.
She attended Lunenburg

Bluenose II moved to new berth
next to Fisheries Museum
Vessel won’t set sail until 2015
By LUKE KENNY
lkenny@southshorenow.ca
LUNENBURG — The Bluenose II has
moved, but it’s not setting sail until next
year.
The boat was moved July 30 from the
Lunenburg Foundry dock, where it has
been berthed for the past two years, to a
dock near the Fisheries Museum of the
Atlantic.
The move will allow people to view the
boat from the waterfront, take close-up
photos, and chat with the crew. It also
coincides with the official handover of
the vessel to the provincial government
on July 25.
Overseeing the project is deputy minister of communications David Darrow,
who was approached about the possibility of having it moved over to the berth
beside the museum so people could have
easier access to it.
“Having it in the downtown area
makes it more accessible to tourists,” Mr.
Darrow said.
However, the Bluenose II won’t be able
to take passengers this sailing season
because further tests have to be made and
parts are on order for the new steering
system.
“Hopefully we’ll have some time to do
that so when the beginning of the 2015
season rolls around we’re able to get off
the mark very quickly. That’s our goal at
this particular point in time,” he said in
an interview with southshorenow.ca and
the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin.
Bluenose II is undergoing finishing
touches by the builder and the crew at it’s
new location while it awaits the installation of a new steering system.
The new steering system has been designed and equipment orders have been
placed. Building, installing and testing
the equipment will take up the rest of this
year’s sailing season and the boat might
have to be moved back to the Foundry
yard for completion.
“If we can do it where it currently sits
we will do that, but time will tell if we’ll
be able to fix the steering at that location,” Mr. Darrow said.
Some of the components are off the
shelf but others have to be custom made
for the vessel.
“One of the reasons for that is we have
a very confined space. We don’t want to
change the appearance of the Bluenose
in any way.”
There’s a box over the steering gear
now, and all of the new equipment has to
fit within that box.
“Some of the components, cylinders
in particular, have to be fabricated from
scratch. We’re being told that’s a six-eight
week proposition. That puts us late into
September before we’re in position to
install the new equipment.”
The issue of the vessel’s stability has
been raised as a concern by a couple of
people and those concerns are taken very
seriously, Mr. Darrow said, adding the
province has engaged naval architects to
analyze the situation.
“These are people who have not been
involved in the project before and have no
vested interest in the outcome. I’m being
told by these very highly qualified people
that the reconstructed Bluenose is more
stable than the previous Bluenose.”
In addition, he said there have been
several safety features built into the vessel that make it safer.
“The vessel is made up of six watertight compartments so that if there was
a puncture in the hull, it wouldn’t result
in the entire vessel being inundated with
water. It might result in one of these compartments being inundated with water,
but it would still be able to sail.”
Other safety features include fire suppression and alarm systems, among other
things, he said.
“At the end of the day it is the captain
who will decide if the vessel is safe.”
The Bluenose II project has been in
the works for a long time and the government is pleased to take ownership, and its
a significant milestone in the life of the
project, according to Mr. Darrow. However, the project has also been plagued by
cost overruns and delays.
“It has had it’s ups and downs as everybody knows. I haven’t been involved
in the project long enough to give an informed opinion as to why that happened,
why it is that we’re over budget or why it
is we’re two years late in delivering the
project,” said Mr. Darrow.
“My mandate from the premier is to
get the thing back in service and that is
what I’m focused on.”

COMMENT
Change our attitude
and we can change our future
N
ova Scotians have been told the first step
in changing our future is to change our attitude.
Ray Ivany’s point sounds simple enough. Nova
Scotians are hard-working, generous people who
have shown themselves to be capable of tremendous
courage in the face of adversity. So what then is the
attitude that really needs to be changed?
It seems to us that we’ve been labeled as a “havenot” region by other people, including our current
prime minister, and that label has started to affect
how we see ourselves.
Perhaps subconsciously we now value things from
away more than those that are grown at home. We
confidently put our faith in companies from outside
our community. We’re slow to support local initiatives but quick to criticize them. We often believe
that if it comes from the city, another province or
the US it must be better than what we can produce
here.
This belief isn’t just held by our citizens, it’s perpetuated by our governments.
Why else would we choose to have projects such
as the Bluenose “restoration” managed by companies from other provinces when we have 100-plus
years of expertise here at home?
For well over a year we have been featuring a
local business every week in this newspaper. This
series was our way of celebrating local business and
our goal was to inspire other entrepreneurs.
Unfortunately, many of these stories confirm
that doing business here isn’t easy. Some businesses
have only succeeded in getting start-up funding by
going outside this province. It’s difficult to navigate
through all the red-tape, communities aren’t always
welcoming and it’s often still about who you know,
not what you know.
So maybe this is the place to start.
How do we change the belief of a whole society, region or group? How do we get individuals to
commit to changing the way they think, what they
believe and most importantly how they see themselves?
We can begin by leading our government instead
of waiting to be lead. As citizens we need to renew
our faith in ourselves and in each other.
We also need to recognize that sometimes we’re
negative without even realizing it. When a new business opens, instead of saying “that won’t make it,”
consider saying thanks and showing your support by
frequenting the business. If you’ve had a bad experience with a business, talk to the owner – your fellow
community member – and try again. A dollar spent
in a locally-owned business re-circulates many more
times in the local economy than one which isn’t.
Let’s get to work for our community and our
province. It’s up to each of us to be part of the solution, to step up and to contribute to where we live.
Whether you chose to move here or choose to stay
here, that choice carries with it a commitment to the
broader community.
Now is the time for each of us to make a difference. One person can’t change our course. A small
group can’t do it either. It’s going to take every Nova
Scotian, collectively and collaboratively, to chart a
new course for this province.
Often we forget that failure isn’t the problem, it’s
a key ingredient in success. Denial and inaction are
our biggest foes.
None of us is alone in this fight for survival. Together we can create a brighter future for everyone.

LCLC is an important asset
I
was sad to see the article about the shortfall for
the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre (LCLC).
This is an important asset to the South Shore
community and it deserves to be supported. Why?
Let me tell you about my morning at the LCLC
yesterday.
To start off, I filled my own water bottle at the
fountain by the front door. The number of fill-ups is
moving towards 5,000 now, so I’m not alone in this.
Stopping by the bulletin board, I checked the local
events to make sure I was not missing something
interesting and fun. I also noticed kids carrying
roller skates and rollerblades on their way out.
Off to the pool for my first therapy swim of the
week, I got some help from one of the swimming
instructors. I shared the 25-metre pool with leisure
swimmers and lane swimmers. Then the girls’
synchronized swimming class arrived, joined by
young boys in one of the many Red Cross swimming
programs. In the leisure pool, little kids with
parents watching splashed and laughed in their
learn-to-swim class. I finished off in the warm
therapy pool to relax my tired muscles.
I passed a kids’ ballet class in the active living
studio and a couple groups of people sitting and
talking at the small tables overlooking the arena.
Down the hall, several people were leaving the
library as I entered, arms piled high with books
and DVDs. The kids’ day camp was just beginning.
Adults were using the Internet at the librarysupplied computers, young and older readers were
browsing the shelves, and the comfy armchairs by
the bank of windows overlooking the woods were
full. I learned from the librarian that more people
are using the library since it moved to its new home.
I’m not surprised. It’s always bustling.
On the way out, I stopped by the customer
welcome desk and learned that the rink was open
for roller skating until the ice surface returns
soon. Kids’ camps, aquafit classes and swimming
programs for adults and kids are offered all
summer. In addition, I learned that she knew of at
least 10 people, including herself, who had moved
to Bridgewater because there is now a recreation
centre here. This jived with my own experience
when I recently met a woman in the parking lot
who moved from New Brunswick to town because a
good recreation centre was an important factor for
her in choosing a community in which to live. New
residents equals growing community which equals
more tax revenue.
Although the location is a concern for those
without cars, I saw several bicycles parked at the
entrance and noticed a man leaving by foot. I myself
have used the adjoining rail trail to walk into town.
I suspect this is a typical day. The LCLC is
truly an asset. It’s critical for the health of our
community, attracting people from nearby areas
as well as Bridgewater residents. It’s important for
those wanting to improve their health, fitness and
minds, and for family and community activities. It
was worth waiting for and it’s worth supporting the
LCLC so we can continue to reap the personal and
community benefits.
Finally, I want to thank the always-helpful staff
for their attention and smiles. They make my day.

Head of council needs to
accept responsibility
O
n Tuesday, July 22, a council meeting was
held to deal with alleged breaches of the Municipality of Lunenburg’s code of conduct
by Councillors Fawson and Dorey. The accusations
against both were lodged by Councillor Zwicker by
motion, moved and seconded, on May 27. Mayor Don
Downe presided at that council meeting.
The code of conduct policy says anyone reporting
a breach of this code shall consult with the head of
council.
It also says if the head of council determines
that a breach of the code has occurred, the head of
council shall discuss the matter with the councillor
who made the breach to determine what steps will
be taken to rectify the matter.
Mayor Downe resolutely refused, on more than
one occasion, to admit that the process outlined in
the code of conduct for lodging and processing a violation of that policy was not followed. He did state
that he had no advance knowledge that Councillor
Keep Nova Scotia
frack free
I
n 2012, the provincial New Democrats placed a
two-year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing
(more commonly known as fracking), until it
could be shown that the process could be done without harm. Yet, in August of 2013, a report was commissioned to review the effects of fracking in Nova
Scotia and to make recommendations to the government on what decision should be made on this highly controversial method of fossil fuel extraction.
The Wheeler Report (as it is being called, with
the review panel being headed by University of
Cape Breton president David Wheeler) is nearing
completion, with one of the final stages being public consultations. These consultations took place
last month in communities across the province.
However, it seems that the voices of residents of the
South Shore are of no concern to this review panel,
as there were no public consultation anywhere in
Lunenburg, Queens or Shelburne counties.
For those living on the South Shore, a drive of an
hour or more was required to attend a meeting in
Yarmouth, Windsor or Halifax. When Dr. Wheeler
was questioned about this during the meeting in
Windsor he tried to make it seem like a good thing,
that there was no meeting because there is little or
no potential for fracking on the South Shore. There
is also little chance of fracking in Sydney or Yarmouth, yet those communities were given a voice.
When this was pointed out, Dr. Wheeler went to the
convenient fallback of budgetary constraints and
doing the most with what they had.
Even if there is little or no prospects for fracking on the South Shore, do residents not deserve
to have their voices counted, or even to hear what
the review panel had to present? If we are to make
an informed decision, would it not be beneficial to
have heard from other residents, whose research
and expertise are absent from the official report,
but whose voices were strong at the public consultations? People such as Dr. Duncan Keppie, a retired
geologist with years of firsthand knowledge of the
geology of the province, or the new homeowner
who has done research and is concerned for his well
water.
The response and attitude of Dr. David Wheeler
speaks volumes to this review panel and report,
as well as to the provincial government’s intentions. The review panel has a budget of only about
$100,000 and has been working together for less than
six months, yet are expected to tackle this complex
and controversial issue in depth and then make a
recommendation to the provincial government. This
seems like nothing more than the Liberals paying
lip service to the people of Nova Scotia when they
have already made up their minds.
While the review panel does not seem interested
in hearing the voices of South Shore residents,
it is not too late to have your say. Phone, write or
visit your local MLA, speak to your neighbours and
communities about your concerns on fracking, and
get involved with grassroots organizations such as
the Council of Canadians, Nova Scotia Fracking
Resource and Action Coalition (NOFRAC), and the
Ecology Action Centre, to name a few. Get involved
and help to keep Nova Scotia frack free.
CHARITY FRASER
Auburndale
Zwicker was going to propose the motion. Both Councillors Dorey and Fawson stated that the Mayor had
not spoken to either of them about any alleged violation of the code of conduct.
The result of not following the official policy and
process was to blindside two councillors. Each was
attempting to discharge the duties electors voted
them into office to carry out. The main violation of
each councillor seems to be that they occasionally
disagree with the mayor and some other councillors.
Worse yet, each councillor expressed their opposing
views in both council chambers and this newspaper.
The damage to their reputations resulting from these
charges and the accompanying innuendo has been,
and continues to be, substantial.
The relevant questions as to whether the correct
process was followed are simple:
1. Did the mayor discuss with Councillor Zwicker
alleged violations of the code of conduct against
Councillors Dorey and Fawson prior to the Motion
being tabled on May 27?
2. Did Mayor Downe discuss with either Councillor Fawson or Dorey allegations of code of conduct
violations against either of them made by Councillor
Zwicker prior to the motion being tabled on May 27?
Unless the answer to both those questions is “yes,”
the code of conduct process and procedure was not
followed by the mayor.
There may well be a whole host of excuses for not
following the process and procedure outlined in the
code of conduct, but none of them matter, because
the fact is it was not followed.
The mayor is responsible for the proper conduct
of council meetings. It is far past the time for him to
acknowledge and accept that responsibility. It is time
for him to admit the process was not handled properly, apologize, and move on.

A

The Village of Chester.
We have a carving in the old tree stump
outside the post office that no one has a clue about
what it signifies, or why it is there. I think it could
be sawed off at the bottom and transferred to Lordly
Park where it would be appreciated more.
The reason I mention this is that this sculpture
also occupies the location that, up until a year or so
ago, hosted a beautiful shade tree that everybody
used to gather under to talk and socialize when they
picked up their mail around midday during the week.
Everybody enjoyed this lost custom.
Now we have no shade or conversations under the
comforting refuge of that old tree.
Speaking of that area, the village bulletin board is
so cluttered with notices that they are often layered
over one another so that you can’t read anything
more than a week old. The competition for attention is leading to large sheets of paper being posted,
which hog the limited space.
Finally, I counted over 60 signs at the East Chester
Highway 103 exit yesterday.
I write you because no one seems to be in charge
over here.

It’s a shame
to see Bluenose II
unable to sail
W
hen building the new Bluenose II, was no
thought given to getting better ideas from
experts who rightly might have some bet-
ter ideas?
I helped build a boat by government spec’s and
when it was being built I could see problems ahead
the day it was finished. Now that same thing has
happened again and the Bluenose II is sitting on a
wharf in Lunenburg watching the sun come up and
go down.
With these days of technology, it’s it’s much easier
to assess matters than in the past. When I helped
build the idle boat on a wharf in Lunenburg, we did
not even have a computer. We only had spec’s.
Who thought a 7,000 pound steel rudder would
work like the wood rudders approximately half its
weight? Again, with the one I worked on it was the
same thing. What happened? It blew apart.

Councillor hopes
for fresh start
A
t a Municipality of Lunenburg council meeting in June, a letter of petition was presented
with signatures of more than 50 concerned
residents of District 6. The concern related to what
these residents considered to be unfair and undemocratic treatment at council of their elected representative.
I am pleased that after a two month struggle I have
been found to have done nothing improper. I believe
the letter of petition to council played an important
part in the final decision made. The support I have
received from many, many residents of the municipality during this period has been heartwarming.
My belief in democracy has been reinforced by this
outcome.
However, we have not turned the page at council.
The mayor has asked that all councillors start anew
with a fresh team approach to problem solving centered on mutual respect and co-operation. I am all for
this new approach.
I pledge to continue working as hard as I can for
the many residents who have been so supportive of
me.
TERRY DOREY
MODL Councillor for District 6
The buck stops
with the mayor
O
n May 27, our municipal council accepted a
report by Councillor Zwicker of a possible
breach of its code of conduct policy by two
councillors.
The report was made directly to council which,
in itself, was a breach of the policy, since the matter
was first supposed to go to Mayor Don Downe. According to the policy, it is the mayor’s responsibility
to consider any report of a breach and, after discussions with the accused councillors, take whatever action he considers appropriate.
The mayor needs to take responsibility for this.
However, at the July 22 council meeting, the mayor
said he had done nothing wrong, that policy was followed and that he simply followed the advice he got
from the CAO and the assistant CAO.
Are we all supposed to believe these two very capable senior staff members failed to do their jobs at
the May 27 council meeting by not properly advising
the mayor?
These two senior staff members eat up a lot of
money in property tax revenues annually for salary
and benefit costs. The CAO at the time, Ms Tammy
Wilson, had demonstrated to all of us for many years
her ability to consistently follow municipal policies.
The assistant CAO, Alec Dumaresq, has been on the
job for less than a year but he has proven to be very
capable, especially with direction to council on municipal policies.

BRIDGEWATER — Selling marijuana to support his own
habit of smoking it has earned a Bridgewater man a year on
house arrest.
That’s part of an 18-month conditional sentence that
David Andrew Hubley received July 30 in Bridgewater provincial court.
Mr. Hubley, 50, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession for
the purpose of trafficking from February 25, 2013.
That afternoon, police searched his Pleasant Street apartment and found about 10 grams of marijuana packaged in
one-gram baggies and 147 grams in a container. Officers
seized 215 additional bags, $90 in cash and a score sheet of
sales.
Police also found text messages on Mr. Hubley’s cellphone
discussing prices.
“In a statement, Mr. Hubley admitted trafficking in marijuana. He said that he was an addict himself and he did it to
support his habit. He said that he was selling to no more than
five or six people,” federal prosecutor Josh Bryson said.
Legal aid lawyer Joshua Nodelman told the court his client was using marijuana to manage pain.
“Pain control is a huge issue for Mr. Hubley,” the lawyer
said. “It was clearly at the root of the offence at bar.”
He said Mr. Hubley has recently sought other ways to
manage his pain and emotional issues. A recent urinalysis
report came back negative for marijuana use, something Mr.
Bryson said was “at least a step in the right direction if Your
Honour is going to put him on a conditional sentence order.”
Lawyers jointly recommended the 18-month conditional
sentence, which was ultimately endorsed by Judge Paul
Scovil.
“Even if you have legal authorization to use marijuana,
you do not have authorization to traffic,” Judge Scovil said.
For the first year of the order, Mr. Hubley can leave home
only for limited reasons. That will be followed by six months
on a curfew.
He must stay clear of alcohol, drugs, weapons, anyone
with a criminal record and establishments dedicated to the
sale of liquor. Judge Scovil also ordered him to take counselling and do 25 hours of community service.
Mr. Hubley is banned from possessing firearms for life.

Lightfoot
tower officially
reopened
CHESTER — The grand reopening of
Chester’s historic Lightfoot Tower took
place on July 30.
During the event, many community
members purchased time capsules, which
were sealed that day.
Lightfoot Tower is the sole survivor of
five private towers in the area 100 years
ago. The three-storey octagonal observation tower was built around 1904 by
American attorney Alfred Ross Lightfoot
to get a better view of sailing activity in
Mahone Bay.
The nearby house that is now the Zoé
Vallé Memorial Library was purchased
in 1903 by Lightfoot’s wife, Zoé Vallé, as a
rustic retreat from Manhattan summers.
It was donated to the community after
her death in 1926.
Faced once again with a deteriorating shell, a library trustee approached
the Chester Trust, a community-based
group that encourages the future growth
of Chester along traditional and historic
lines, about taking the lead in a campaign
to have the tower restored.
The newly restored tower meets all
building code requirements and the public may again ascend to the top. Exterior
treatments respect the original design yet
are inexpensive to maintain. The interior
space on the second floor will be used for
interpretive displays on the tower’s history, the story of the yacht racing it was
used to observe, and the acknowledgement of the donors who contributed to
the restoration.
Designated as a Municipal Heritage
property, the library and the tower are
listed in the Nova Scotia and Canadian
Registers of Historic Places.

Program bringing kids and cops together
By LISA BROWN
lbrown@southshorenow.ca
BRIDGEWATER — Children cheer and applaud
as a German shepherd pulls a towel out of the long
grass to conclude his search at the end of a Bridgewater parking lot.
“Good boy,” Aux/Sgt. Creig Veinot tells the dog,
giving Dax a favourite toy as a reward before leading
him back towards the kids.
They line up in pairs, anxious and excited, waiting for their turns to meet the search dog who works
with the Bridgewater Police Service.
It’s Day 4 of a week-long camp that gives children
enrolled with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the South
Shore a chance to get to know police officers in a
positive way. If the smiles and obvious camaraderie
are any indications, it is definitely working.
Kids ‘n’ Kops is part mini police academy and part
recreation program. Participants spend part of each
day learning about police work and topics such as
bullying and drug awareness.
They spend the rest of the time interacting with
officers from the Bridgewater Police and RCMP
while doing fun things — going to the beach, visiting
the Oaklawn Farm Zoo and learning how to bowl
— things some of the children have never or rarely
done.
Big Brothers Big Sisters caseworker Vanessa Mossop says it’s an opportunity to eliminate nervousness
about police and show the kids that officers “are real
people and that they’re approachable.”
This year, organizers have planned two back-toback camps, from July 28 to August 1 and from August 4 to 8. Nearly two dozen children are participating, along with five junior leaders who have already
been through the program and are back to learn
leadership skills.
Since some of the kids have participated in Kids
‘n’ Kops before, organizers try to vary the educational component from year to year.
This time around, police are focusing on how
they use notebooks to record details and enhance
their memories. That means participants are taking
their own notes about daily activities. They’re also
learning about things such as fingerprinting and
photographing.
“Everything is hands-on. We show them, but they
get to do it as well. They get to learn about our job
and what our job means,” says Cst. Jenn Mason.
At the end of the day, she adds, everyone goes
home tired and happy.
“But that means that we’re having fun. If we’re all
exhausted at the end of the day — cadets, police officers and kids all together — that means that we’re
doing our job. They’re being active and they’re having fun,” Cst. Mason says.
“The main objective is to build relationships and
have fun.”
Chester supports Christmas tree project
By JONATHAN WADDELL
support a project looking at ways to increase the
length of time trees keep their needles after they
have been cut and how to make trees more resilient
to pests, among other facets of tree growth.
The Cooperative has raised $100,000 with a goal
of $350,000. Funds are primarily raised through the
selling of $500 shares to growers each year. A grower can purchase two shares annually to a maximum
of $10,000, or two shares each year for ten years.
The research project’s total budget is $6 million,
with various government agencies also contributing, including the governments of Canada, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The research is being
conducted at Dalhousie University’s Agricultural
Campus in Bible Hill. Research is slated to end in
2016.
Thus far researchers have discovered four compounds which can be applied to balsam fir trees
that encourage longer needle retention.
Research and development is the fairest and
most equitable way to help the industry, according
to Turner.
“The small growers proportionally get the same
value as the large growers.”

Sponsors support fallen Mountie
even after golf tournament cancelled
By LISA BROWN
lbrown@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY — Organizers of an annual
police golf tournament and the head of
a trust fund honouring a local fallen
Mountie say they’re humbled by a recent
outpouring of support.
The Derek Burkholder Memorial Golf
Tournament was scheduled to go ahead
in June, but, after three Mounties were
shot and killed in Moncton on June 4,
organizers decided to cancel it.
Events in New Brunswick hit too close
to home. Sgt. Burkholder was shot and
killed on June 14, 1996, after responding
to a domestic disturbance.
But when tournament organizers contacted sponsors who had made cash donations in advance of the event, all of them
— 17 in total — pledged their continued
support.
“They just said, ‘Keep the money and
give it to the trust anyway,’” Dave Waterhouse says.
This would have been the 18th year for
the Burkholder event, which was originally a law enforcement tournament and
was renamed as a tribute to the fallen officer just after his death.
The tournament is the major sustaining contributor to a trust fund in the
Mountie’s memory — the Sgt. Derek C.
Burkholder Memorial Trust.
The trust was established in 1996 to
erect a suitable memorial to him and to
provide an ongoing scholarship fund to
continue the goodwill he encouraged.
Preference is given to students studying law enforcement or a related social
field, and to those who demonstrate both
financial need and humanitarianism.
To date, 111 students have received
a total of $88,250 from the Burkholder
Trust. Nine students received $1,000 bursaries this past June — three graduating
from Park View Education Centre and
two each from Forest Heights, Bridgewater High and New Germany.
Trust chairman Michael Power says
it would be impossible without the efforts of volunteers who sit on the trust
committee and those involved in the golf
tournament. The Burkholder family also
supports the cause.
“It’s a community-based effort that
continues to honour Derek’s memory and
do good things in his name,” Mr. Power
says.

9TH ANNUAL
R.M.Z. COASTAL CRUISE
BRIDGEWATER — A new 13,000square-foot building is being developed
on Logan Road in Bridgewater that will
house provincial government departments.
“The new purpose-built facility
combines three current delivery sites –
the Bridgewater Access Centre, the Land
Registration Office and the Department
of Environment’s regional office – located
on Logan Road — into one site on Logan
Road,” said a statement from Tracy
Barron, media relations representative
for Service Nova Scotia and Municipal
Relations.
“Access NS has outgrown the current
location and the Land Registration Office is larger than needed given the move
to preserve historical records and store
them electronically (e-vault),” she states,
adding that the expiration of current
leases brought forward the opportunity
to re-locate.
The tender for the new building
was awarded on October 9, 2013 by the
Department of Transportation and
Infrastructural Renewal and the successful bidder was Parsons Investments

“We specify the geographic boundaries
in the tender document and prospective
landlords could bid on locations within
the boundaries. Accessibility and parking
are significant factors in setting boundaries for tendering purposes for Access NS
centres,” stated Ms Barron.
The site preparation is underway,
according to Ida Scott of the Bridgewater
Development Association.
“We’re certainly pleased to see the new
building going into the business park and
where its located. They’ll be able to have
entrance and exits on both Logan Road
and Cook Road,” says Ms Scott.
This allows more empty space for
potential businesses looking to lease, she
says, referring to the current facility that
houses Access Nova Scotia at 80 Logan
Road.
“When I’m aware that buildings that
are available and if I get calls from businesses who are looking for spaces to lease
or to buy, I pass along the vacant spaces
that I’m aware of and this would be one
of them.”

Woman waits nearly a month for NSP
to deal with Arthur aftermath
Company finally responds following media inquiry
By REBECCA DINGWELL
rdingwell@southshorenow.ca
After almost a month, Heather Brine is relieved to
finally get a tree and broken power pole removed from
her property.
The tree was knocked down on July 5, during posttropical storm Arthur. It dragged the pole’s wires down
with it.
“The Deputy Fire Chief, Andrew Wentzell came that
night,” said Ms Brine. “He told me to call Nova Scotia
Power.”
The power outage was fixed following the storm, but
it took six calls for Nova Scotia Power to respond to Ms
Brine’s other concerns. In the meantime, Mr. Wentzell
had set up barricades around the tree and advised those
in the neighbouring unit not to use their back door.
“We didn’t know if the wires would snap,” said Ms
Brine.
Nova Scotia Power workers came on July 10 to cut the
tree’s branches.
“It didn’t do anything for the wires – all it did was
allow the tree to come back on the fence.”
The next day, a new power pole was put up “very efficiently.” However, the workers left the old one, which
leaned against the shed of Ms Brine’s next-door neighbour.
Ms Brine said she was understanding of the company’s more urgent calls, but was afraid the old pole would
break. She agreed to have the pole removed on July 21,
but “they never showed up,” said Ms Brine.
The following day, Ms Brine contacted town councillor Sandra Mailman, who in turn contacted Nova Scotia
Power again.
Neera Ritcey, a spokesperson of Nova Scotia Power,
said the company is still dealing with issues of fallen
trees. Arthur caused a lot of damage, so the company
had to concentrate on the most pressing concerns first.
“During and after the storm, as priority, we ensured
that the customers who were impacted by the storm had
their power back on,” said Ms Ritcey.
The Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin contacted
Nova Scotia Power to make an inquiry on July 29. Later
that day, the company contacted Ms Brine and arranged
to remove the tree and pole on August 5.
“That gives them exactly one month to the day,” said
REBECCA DINGWELL PHOTO
This old power pole was leaning against a shed for almost
a month following post-tropical storm Arthur.
Ms Brine. “I’m sure there’s a lot of issues, but low wires
and tangled wires should be fixed.”
Ms Ritcey explained that if Nova Scotia Power thought
the fallen tree was a risk, they would have removed it immediately.
“Any issues that are an emergency or are deemed to
have safety issue to the property, or the customer, or
the equipment are fixed as priority as well,” she said.
“Sometimes, visually, certain things may look more
precarious.”
On the morning of July 31, Nova Scotia Power workers arrived at Ms Brine’s house in Jubilee Road and
began their work earlier than scheduled.

Riverfest readies
for annual weekend
musical event
W
hen Jonathan Crouse
has a few friends over
for a weekend party,
about 2,000 people show up.
It’s called Riverfest, and it’s a
public event, but the location is
Mr. Crouse’s private land where
his cattle graze.
Riverfest began as a bit of a
joke in 2003. Mr. Crouse bought
secondhand hay wagons and he
and some friends laughed and
commented they would make
a good stage. Without any real
thought to what it would entail
to offer live music, he and his
friends invited a few friends over,
jacked up the hay wagon, and
the seed for Riverfest had been
sowed.
“It was not at all what we
thought it would be because we
thought it would be quick and
easy. It was invitation only and
it was just going to be a party.
We were supposed to have it all
ready by 7 o’clock that night but
10 o’clock we were still trying
to hook it up. We had no idea
what we were doing,” laughed Mr.
Crouse.

It seems this
group was onto something since
year after year the audience continued to grow. The organizers,
including Jason McCorriston,
who takes care of promotions and
graphic design, set up a committee to oversee all the little details
necessary to put on a successful festival now
also referred to as
“Rock the Bush.”
Brad
Russell
and Brandi Nickerson of Bridgewater have been
rocking the bush
for years. Mr. Russell has been going
to Riverfest since it
started in 2004 and
about five years ago,
Ms Nickerson joined
him.
“It’s a great time
to get
around groups of family and
friends. It’s a big party,” said Mr.
Russell, noting the relaxed event
keeps the couple going back year
after year.
“You feel free. You’ve got no
worries. It’s just an awesome
atmosphere,” he said, noting in
addition to the music and fellowship there is always something
to do. Whether it’s washers or
Frisbee, there’s always some-
thing going on.
Ms Nickerson added that Riverfest is a great weekend away
from family responsibilities and
the couple enjoy spending their
time relaxing, listening to great
music and enjoying the company
of friends.
Although many adults use
Riverfest as a weekend getaway,
it isn’t just for grown-ups. Mr.
Crouse said if more families
came out, organizers would start
putting together activities for
children.
It takes the organizing committee nearly one year to review
and book 40 live bands to play for
40 minutes each. Luckily though,
Riverfest has become the place to
play for budding musicians. Mr.
Crouse said, except for the first
couple of years, they have not
had to solicit any entertainment.
In fact, the organizing group gets
at least 100 submissions each year
of bands wanting to perform.
“The bands come for the weekend. We have amenities set up in
the green room. … You can

but last year Andrew Hunter and
the Gathers had two Canada-wide
hits. Other notable performers
from Riverfest include the Stanfields, David Myles, Joel Plaskett,
Charlie A’court and Matt Andersen.
Mr. Crouse said most of the
musicians are not paid. However, performing at Riverfest helps
them get a start. What’s more,
musicians get to meet other musicians and that’s where the magic
can happen.
“They’re able to network and
start to build a fan base,” said Mr.
Crouse. “It was funny, New Year’s
Eve at Grand Parade in Halifax,
every act that was on that stage
had performed at Riverfest. Is
Riverfest an integral part of their
success? That I can’t answer. But
I hope that it helps. … It’s a good
place for musicians to make
connections.”

well, volunteer groups also
agree to monitor the weekend
event in exchange for a donation. Mr. Crouse said over its
10-year history, Riverfest has
generated close to $10,000 for
charitable organizations. The
only pay the committee gets
is the satisfaction of a job
well done.
The major expenses to put
on a party for 2,000 includes
renting 16 port-a-potties,
sound and insurance. This
year however, there is the
added expense of improvements to the stage.
The party begins on August 15 with a tailgate party
at 11 a.m. which runs until
the gates open at 4 p.m. Music
begins at 7 p.m. and finishes
4 a.m. Saturday’s entertainment gets a 11 a.m. start and
goes through until 4 a.m. A
songwriter circle is planned
for 5:30 p.m. Saturday night,
and there will also be a fireworks show that evening.
The party begins to wind
down on Sunday, but there
will still be live music from 10
a.m. until 4 p.m. In addition
to the music there will also be
a “bush shredder guitar contest” as part of the 10th year
anniversary celebration. The
day will also feature a redneck pool party. Mr. Crouse
said this type of pool is constructed from hay bales and
a tarp.
The music is mostly donated, the use of the field
is free and volunteers spend
nearly a year organizing the
event, but this festival pays
its dividends in other ways.
“We offer quality musical entertainment in a controlled atmosphere that is
not stifling,” said Mr. Crouse.
“What’s in it for me is 2,000
people come to a field and
laugh and smile and have a
fun weekend.”

Former commercial building designer now at home in shop
Voglers Cove man transforms drawings into woodwork
Here Patrick Love
works on a chess
set that he designed
and is now creating.
By PAULA LEVY
plevy@southshorenow.ca
When Patrick Love is in his Voglers Cove workshop, he is in the
final stages of creating an object
out of wood that days before was
just a doodle.
Although he calls these drawings doodles, they are more like
detailed plans on how to take an
idea in his mind and create it
from wood. It’s not surprising
that Mr. Love initially creates the
designs on paper. He spent nearly
40 years as a designer of commercial buildings all over the world,
including Kuala Lumpur, South
Africa, Morocco and Singapore.
His love of the practical and
the artistic nature of woodworking began early in his life. When
he was nine years old, he saw a
piece of kinetic art. It inspired
him to attempt to create his own.
“Basically it was strings and
nails. … It intrigued me,” said
Mr. Love. “When it comes to three
dimension proportions, I’m very
good at it. I immediately understood it, went back home and I did
my own kinetic.”
Kinetic art contains movement
either perceived by the viewer
or depending on motion for its
effect.
But being creative is in fact a
family trait. Mr. Love said most of
his family members were artisans
who worked on restoration of old wood furniture
and made Windsor chairs.
“They used to make the most exquisite chairs,” he
said, noting that working with wood was just what
his family did.
“You have no choice. It goes in your bones,” he
laughed.
PAULA LEVY PHOTOS
After graduating with a diploma in interior design in 1971, Mr. Love came to Canada from England
and joined Design International in Montreal. His
start in the design world gave him the opportunity
to work on shopping malls and hotels. Mr. Love soon
discovered that he wanted to have his own company,
so he founded Patrick Love and Associates.
“I decided that I didn’t want to go into a big com-
pany. … I wanted to know my kids; to be there for homework,”
he said. For the next 35 years he ran his own company and over
time became more and more involved in the overall design as
well as architecture.
Throughout his career, the Love family often vacationed in
Green Bay. So, 10 years ago when it came time to retire, the
automatic choice was the South Shore. The decision to move to
Nova Scotia offered his wife Elka the proximity she desired to
the ocean and Mr. Love had access to wooded areas that could
help him realize his dream.
“I’ve always had a dream of wanting to have my own
workshop. It’s one of those dear things. When you’re flying
from here, there and everywhere solving problems … you feel
there is a void. In my case, it
was not having time to use my
hands. It’s one thing to have
the ideas … but to not use that
talent with your hands is a
void. After a period of time
you need to be honest to yourself and say ‘now I’m going to
be creatively selfish and it’s
Patrick Love
going to be my time now.”
Wood artist
During his career working
for other people, his time was
not his own. But during retirement, he would be able do what he wanted and what he wanted
was to work with wood.
Most of his family members have special items
he made. His first grandchild received a rocker,
his wife a jewellery box and his daughter-in-law
a special urn for her cat’s ashes. Currently he’s
working on a chess set for his son. Each piece
of the set is carefully planned not
only in design, but even the type
of wood. Using different types
of wood gives his projects interesting colours and patterns.
For instance, to create physically
what he had doodled on paper, Mr.
Love is using Swiss pear, black
walnut, maple, African padauk
and holly for the chess set.
Mr. Love not only enjoys the
visual appeal, smell and feel of
wood, he also loves the challenges
that wood can present.
“I’ve never had a problem
that’s ever beaten me. I’ve come
close a few times. … Whenever there is a wall in front of
you, it’s there one day but the
next day it’s gone,” said Mr.
Love. “When it [the problem]
is settled in your mind, it’s a
magical moment. … It’s the
absolute pain of looking at a
problem. But then solving it …
It’s the elation of that.”
“I’ve never had a
problem that’s ever
beaten me. I’ve come
close a few times.”

LUNENBURG – A current project
aims to lure Lunenburg’s tourists away
from the waterfront and into the town.
“The waterfront is still a very vibrant,
working waterfront,” said Mike Smith
of the Lunenburg Board of Trade. “We
don’t want to change that.”
However, the thinking is, if people
remain by the water, they won’t discover
any of Lunenburg’s other aspects.
Organizers have worked together to
design new signs to be posted on Lunenburg’s main streets. These four-sided
signs will give visitors information and
directions to many of the town’s historic sites and attractions.
“They’ll be able to read about buildings that are in their visual realm as
they’re at the signs,” said Gerry Rolfsen
of the Lunenburg Waterfront Association.
The side facing the street will feature
the street name. The other sides show
a map of the area where the individual
is standing along with a full map of
town, information about highlights of
the area and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) story of Lunenburg.
Lunenburg has a generic military
garrison-town layout – a strict grid laid
out by the British military in the 1700s.
The grid was followed despite being designed for flat territory, and Mr. Rolfsen
said that is what makes Lunenburg so
unique.
“That’s the basis for the UNESCO
world heritage site designation,” explained Mr. Rolfsen. “It’s not the buildings … it’s not the industry, it’s this
grid.”
With that in mind, many building
in Lunenburg do have historic significance. Sites highlighted on the signs
include the Knaut-Rhuland House, St.
John’s Anglican Church and the Lunenburg Opera House.
In addition, Mr. Rolfsen pointed to the
fact that visitors often have trouble finding their way around town.
“I’m constantly encountered by people who don’t know how to find their
way out of town again,” he said.
“That’s where [the idea] started, but
it evolved into a much more elaborate
system.”
Organizers are now wrapping up
phase one of the project, which has been
in the works since early 2013.
Mr. Smith said it was inspired by
an initiative put forth by the Tourism
Industry Association of Nova Scotia
which focuses on “making that first impression on folks when they come into
a place.”
Mr. Smith said there are not only 14
pedestrian beacons, but nine new map
kiosks being installed as well.
The kiosks will be in both old town
Lunenburg and the recreational areas
of the town. They will be updated with
events taking place every given year.
Mr. Smith hoped the signs would be
in the ground by early August. Wi-Fi
stations are also being set up around
Luneburg so tourists can interact with
the town electronically.
“It’s still a work in progress,” he said
of the project. “We just finished chapter
one.”
The next piece of the project will
focus on helping visitors find their way
in and out of Lunenburg.

The film won three awards at that year’s Atlantic Film
Festival, including Best Atlantic Feature, Best Atlantic Director and the Michael Weir Award for Outstanding Atlantic
Screenplay. At the Vancouver International Film Festival,
Blackbird won an award for Best Canadian Feature Film and
it also won the 2013 Claude Jutra Award for the best Canadian film by a first-time film director.

Athletes, artists take home medals
from Francophone Games
By LUKE KENNY
lkenny@southshorenow.ca
Seven local athletes and artists participated in
Les Jeux de la Francophonie Canadienne held in
Gatineau, Quebec from July 23 to 27, and several took
home medals.
Kaylyn Turner won gold in music, Emily Chevarie earned a silver in track, while Catie Shaw and
the volleyball team placed third for a bronze medal.
Jacob Doucette participated in badminton, Rebekah Strang in leadership while Malcolm Sepulchre and Allison Clark competed in improv.
All are current or former students of Centre Scolair de la Rive-Sud in Cookville.
It was a fantastic experience, said Kaylyn.
“It wasn’t anything that I though it would be.
There was easily 1,000 people from all across Canada
from different backgrounds. I got to meet a bunch of
new people and it was just an excellent experience
all around and I’m really glad I went.”
Kaylyn, who plays acoustic guitar, competed with
Jonah Guimond, a DJ from Clare.
Together known as Néo, the duo mixed electronic
and acoustic sounds and made a whole new kind of
genre.
“It was the first time we ever performed together
in any type of venue, so to win gold was quite an accomplishment for both of us.”
It was a shock to win the gold with such a high
level of competition, she said.
“It was quite a bit of competition. There [were]
some really good bands and solo artists that were
there and it was a really interesting thing…we came
back and I think it hadn’t quite sunk in for either of
us yet. It was definitely a really, really great feeling.”
After Kaylyn got back she was contacted to go
back to Granby, Quebec in September for a songwriting camp.
The camp is called Jamais Trop Tot, or “Never Too
Early” in English. It’s a week long camp that teaches
singing and writing techniques for singer/songwriters aged 14 to 17 from across Canada.
“It’s an event where we’d be doing workshops with
top of the line mentors and at the end of the week
we’d be performing at a venue that could potentially
fill up with 3,000 people. That was when I got back,
the next day I got this call,” Kaylyn said.
“I’m very excited about it.”

By LEENA ALI
lali@southshorenow.ca
LAHAVE — The South Shore Multicultural Association in partnership with Fort Point Museum have

cultures and also with our new comer cultures,” Ms
Fownes.
“We have a great line-up of performers and it’s
a mixture of song, dance [and] some of it’s interactive.”
The opening of the festival will include a smudging ceremony by Mi’kmaq Elder Ellen Hunt. Main
stage entertainment includes the Centre for African
dance, Heart Beat drummers, Oasis Belly dancers,

and nails from India, we’ve got Chinese martial arts
[and] we’re going to have a diversity-themed poetry
slam,” she says, explaining that during the poetry
slam participants are given a set amount of time to
make a poem out of a list of words.
The festival will also include an art show and sale,
a local craft display and sale, museum events and
tours as well as children’s activities.

U.S. residents visit
Lunenburg County gardens
By REBECCA DINGWELL
rdingwell@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY – Twenty-seven people from
all over the United States are doing garden tours in Atlantic Canada through a
company known as Garden Vistas. Last
week, they made a stop in Lunenburg
County.
“I do one tour a year,” said Dr. Allan
Armitage, who runs the company. “We go
visit the great gardens of the world.”
Dr. Armitage is a Montreal native who
recently retired as the professor of horticulture at the University of Georgia.
Through Garden Vistas, he has accompanied tourists all across the globe. They
have visited places such as western Canada, Japan, Australia and England.
“When I advertised that we were going
to Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland, it
filled faster than any tour I’ve ever done,”
said Dr. Armitage.
Garden Vistas spent the beginning of
last week in Lunenburg County.
“This was the first time they’d come to
Atlantic Canada,” said Cheryl Lamerson,
president of the Lunenburg and Area
Garden Club. “They contacted us about

coming and visiting Lunenburg.”
Interested members of the garden club
were asked to volunteer their gardens to
be toured. Ms Lamerson said they made
an effort to pick gardens that might be
unusual to US residents.
“It would be unique to see a Stonehurst
garden because it would be so difficult
with the salt water and the rock,” said Ms
Lamerson.
“Plus, we said we could walk them
around old town [Lunenburg]. There’s
lots of gardens to see – even if you’re just
walking by.”
Despite the heavy rain on Monday,
July 28, Dr. Armitage says his group was
enjoying every minute of it.
“We had a nice time. The people are
so friendly,” said Dr. Armitage. “Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Chester are all so
beautiful.”
The group continued onto Halifax before travelling by ferry to PEI. This week,
they will be wrapping up the tour in Newfoundland.
The 26th annual Nova Scotia Folk Art Festival brought over 1,000 people into Lunenburg for the afternoon of August 3 to see the colourful and imaginative creations of
folk artists from across the province. Here fibre artist Felicia Knock of Bayport interacts

Cadets attend program
courses in New Brunswick
Story & photos by
RACY WILLIAMS
Some Bridgewater army cadets are
learning valuable life skills during intensive courses in New Brunswick this
summer.
“Through participation in the cadet
program, young people develop valuable
life skills in teamwork, citizenship, leadership and physical fitness while having
fun and meeting new friends,” said a
release.
Bridgewater Army cadet Ryan LeBlanc is making the difficult look easy as
he tackles a challenging six-week program at the Argonaut Army Cadet Summer Training Centre in Gagetown.
Ryan, 15, parades with the 2688 Bridgewater Kinsmen Army Cadets and has
been with the corps for three years.
He’s no stranger to summer training
nor to physical fitness, as he tackled
a three-week basic sports and fitness
course the previous summer and excelled
at the program.
This year, he’s hoping to take the skills
back to his home unit to help improve the
fitness level of all of the junior cadets.
Meanwhile, Emily Challis, 13, also a
cadet with the 2688 Bridgewater Kinsmen
Army Cadet Corps, is at the camp for the
first time ever, tackling a two-week general training course.
She couldn’t help but grin after she re-
cently conquered her fears on the Abseil
tower.
For Emily, abseiling, or a controlled
descent from a height at the end of a rope,
was definitely the best part of the course.
“I was terrified at first, because it just
seems like you’re so high up, but once I
took that first step over the edge it was
easy,” she said.
The two-week course is designed to
give new cadets “just a taste” of all the
different types of activities that take
place during the summer, such as canoeing, parades and ceremonies, wilderness survival, music, marksmanship and
physical fitness. The cadets who return
the next summer will then choose to
specialize in the activities that interest
them most.
The six-week course not only helps
the cadets improve their own personal
fitness level and teaches healthy eating,
it also introduces them to new and interesting ways to foster physical fitness in
their peers. Once completed, the cadets
will be ready to go back to their home
cadet corps and mentor junior cadets in
the cadet fitness program.
Argonaut Army Cadet Summer Training Centre is one of four such centres
in Atlantic Canada. Cadets from across
Canada and abroad are at the training
centre this summer taking part in expedition, pipes and drums, leadership, and
fitness and sports programs.

Growing Green Sustainability
Festival returns
By REBECCA DINGWELL
rdingwell@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY – Mark your calendars.
The four-day Growing Green Sustainability Festival is being planned for
August 21 to 24.
Eric Hustvedt, one of the festival
co-chairs, says the event aims to draw
attention to “living in a way that can
be sustained for the foreseeable future
without using up irreplaceable resources.”
Now in its sixth year, the festival celebrates businesses, organizations, and
community members who are using environmentally sustainable and socially
responsible practices. Some of these
businesses include Michelin, Helping Nature Heal as well as Lighthouse
Media Group.
This year, the festival’s theme is
“aLIVE.”
“It’s supposed to signify life, energy,
passion, health and happiness,” said Mr.
Hustvedt. “We’re trying to relate everything back to that theme.”
For instance, a “sustainable bus tour”
will take place on August 24.
“Rather than just drive by a place and
say, ‘they grow berries,’” explained Mr.
Hustvedt, “there’s going to be, as much
as possible, interactive [activities].”
The local foods dinner takes place on
Thursday, August 21 at the Wile’s Lake
Farm Market.
“The dinner, again this year, is going
to be in a greenhouse,” said Mr. Hustvedt.
Petite Rivière wine will be highlight-
ed, along with goat meat – a sustainable
alternative to other meat products.
Friday is the festival’s official opening, with the opening ceremonies taking
place just before Fresh Air Films night.
The street fair will be in downtown
Bridgewater on Saturday, August 23,
featuring about 30 different vendors,
including a food truck rally.
“These [food] trucks are concentrating on low-impact energy,” said Mr. Hustvedt.
Saturday will also bring opportunities to tour the water treatment plant,
as well as walk along the LaHave river.
Mr. Hustvedt hopes the festival will
get people thinking about sustainability
in terms of the environment, economics, culture and social aspects.
Meanwhile, organizers are still welcoming volunteers for the dinner and
street fair.
“The dinner [offers] lots of opportunities to help with set up, serving and
clean up,” said a press release.
“The street fair [has] a large range of
volunteer positions, from directing traffic to talking with visitors about waste
sorting. There is truly a position to fit
all abilities and interests.”
Volunteers also help promote the
event.
“Opportunities include putting up
posters around your community or taking care of a booth at your local farmers
market to let people know more about
the festival.”

Group part of act of kindness mission
By PAULA LEVY
plevy@southshorenow.ca
To return the favour, a group of 11
youth from Britannia, Ottawa, recently
spent a week volunteering in the Bridgewater area.
The reciprocal act of kindness began
last summer when 12 youth from the
Bridgewater Baptist Church went to an
Ottawa neighbourhood in the west end
of the city. During the mission the youth
worked in the community gardens, organized outreach programs for children and
cleaned up a park.
“It was always going to be a reciprocal
trip,” said Laura Kelly of the Bridgewater Baptist Church. She was among the
dozen youth who visited Britannia last
year. “This summer a group of 11 folks
from Britannia have come to Bridgewater
to do acts of kindness, part two,” said Ms
Kelly.
Last week the youth spent their time
doing similar outreach activities such
as working in Bridgewater’s community
gardens, offering children’s program-
ming at their church and at Shipyard’s
Landing, and visiting seniors’ facilities.
“This group from Ottawa, all the youth
are from refugee families. So this is something. They have never gone outside of
Ottawa,” said Ms Kelly. “So this is big
thing for them to do.”
Hoseya Yoseph, 19, immigrated to Canada from Eritrea, Africa, with his family
seven years ago. He’s a member of the
Britannia Baptist Church and decided to
become involved in this year’s mission.
He had never been outside of the Ottawa
area so he wanted to experience a different part of Canada.
“It’s a great town,” said Mr. Yoseph. “I
experienced spiritual growth and meeting a new family here. It’s a great experience. … We are all brothers and sisters in
Christ.”
Mackenzie Selig was part of the youth
group that visited Britannia last year. She
said through the experience she’s learned
a lot about herself.
“I hope this year I further that growth
and knowledge and really help my community and people coming here.”
Awesome Foundation South Shore
has chosen its latest winner of a $1,000
prize to help fund an awesome idea.
Cameron Lane of North Queens Community School pitched the foundation
on an aerial videography project. Foundation trustee Andrew Button said the
event was held at the South Shore Exhibition’s main stage on July 25.
The 15 year old owns a drone with
basic gear. Mr. Button said the teenager
wanted to get more advanced technology to potentially help fire departments
and search and rescue efforts.
Mr. Button said the young man also
wants to develop use of drone technology into a business to contract services
for aerial videography and photography.
Mr. Button said supporting a young
entrepreneur and seeing a long term
impact that such technology could have
were among the reasons the project was
chosen.
“We keep saying there’s no boundaries or limits on awesomeness so we’re
looking for a wide variety of things,”
said Mr. Button.

Blessing of the animals
service part of
anniversary celebration
By ROBERT HIRTLE
rhirtle@southshorenow.ca
This year marks the 150th
anniversary of the founding
of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mahone Bay.
As part of the church’s celebration a special “blessing
of the animals” service will
be held at the town bandstand
August 16 at 11 a.m.
Guest preacher for the
event will be Pastor Tim Cook
of The Crossing Christian
Church in Dartmouth. He will
deliver a five-minute message
on how blessed we are.
“We’ve been blessed with
so many things, including the
animals,” Pastor Cook says.
“People love these animals as
pets and they become part of
the family and it’s so wonderful that we have these creations.”
Pastor Cook calls the occasion a casual time to get together for worship in celebration of the church’s milestone
year.
“I’m going to have a worship leader there, it’s going
to be a guitar-led worship.
There’s going to be some traditional and modern contemporary music,” he says.
Participants will be invited to join in the singing and
a brief presentation on the
history of the church is also
being planned.
All are welcome and donations to SHAID will be accepted.

Things
By PAULA LEVY

Don Downe earned
the nickname
“Dapper Don”
during his provincial
political career
for always being
well-dressed and
perfectly groomed.
But Dapper Don
in the 1970s was
a little more freespirited. He had
long hair, a fast
sports car and
drove to California
sleeping on beaches
along the way.
Ten things you didn’t know
about … Municiplaity of Lunenburg Mayor Don
Downe of Wileville
1. Was a minority shareholder in a ready-mix company
in Western Canada when he was 20 years old.
2. Also in his early 20s, Mr. Downe had a 10-wheel truck
driver’s licence and belonged to the Teamsters Union.
He also operated cement and dump trucks.
3. Mr. Downe bought a chicken farm in Lunenburg
County without any farming experience. Until he
moved here at age 22, he had always lived in cities.
4. His guilty pleasure is single-malt scotch. In fact, when
it looked like the province couldn’t reach a deal with
the Sable gas project, it was a glass of 25-year old
scotch that reportedly saved the day.
5. Loves every genre of music. He especially loves 60s,
70s and 80s music, including Led Zepplin and The
Guess Who. He saw both bands in concert. In addition
to his love of music, he loves to dance.
6. In 1971, the long-haired Mr. Downe paid $4,500 cash
to buy a new MGB sport car. He drove to California
sleeping on beaches along the way. A few years later
he had to sell the car to buy the chicken farm.
7. In addition to having long hair, he was also considered a “greaser” in Grades 9 and 10 and was a bit of a
tough-guy.
8. Although he doesn’t confess to using any hair styling
products today, he does admit to keeping a hair brush
in his car. He says he just likes to be well-groomed
and that attention to his appearance earned him the
nickname “Dapper Don” during his provincial political years.
9. Once received so many speeding tickets that he lost
his driver’s licence for six months. To earn points on
his licence, in 1993 he went to a driver’s education program with high school students. He’s now a reformed
speeder and hasn’t had a ticket in 15 years.
10. Mr. Downe said he owes his parents for instilling
in him the value of hard work, personal appearance,
understanding business and teaching him that everyone
deserves respect regardless of their background.

A Place to Paws
Fundraising for
commemorative building planned
By PAULA LEVY
plevy@southshorenow.ca
The ElderDog Canada is readying for
its annual jubilee and butterfly release in
Feltson South on August 16.
The fundraising event is in support of
ElderDog’s a Place to Paws, which will be
a building commemoration site for people
who share and respect the dedicated companionship of man’s best friend.
“The building stands for the important
relationship that people experience with
their dogs. It think it offers a place where
people can express that relationship in
authentic kinds of ways,” said ElderDog
founder and chairwoman Ardra Cole.
During the jubilee, the plans for this
building will be unveiled.
Ms Cole said it’s exciting that enough
money has been raised in the past year
to develop the plans and begin excavating
for the foundation in the fall.
“Hopefully by next year’s jubilee we’ll
be under construction” said Ms Cole.
“We’re moving forward. Now hopefully
with the plans available it kind of feels
that it’s really going to happen and it will
get the momentum going. … We’re starting to conceptualize what the interior
will look like.”
Ms Cole started the non-profit after
she became the caretaker of her brother’s dog, Mr. Brown. Her brother had
died suddenly leaving behind his senior
dog.
Caring for Mr. Brown until his death in
2009 led Ms Cole to think about what happens to other dogs when their human’s
die, especially if they’re a senior. Ms
Cole is also a researcher and through her
work she focused on caregiving and Alzheimer’s and saw firsthand the benefits
of owning a companion animal.
In addition to finding homes for senior
dogs, Ms Cole also started a program to
help human seniors keep their dogs by
offering as much or as little support as
needed. Whether its walking, grooming
or transportation to a vet, volunteers help
seniors maintain the important relationship with their dog.
“Helping older people and older dogs
is one of the most rewarding things that

Sea school offers wilderness
adventure program
West Ironbound Island hosting camp for girls
LUNENBURG – The Nova Scotia Sea
School is offering a new wilderness
program called “Take it Outside Girls”
from August 10 to 17 on West Ironbound
Island.
The expedition is available to girls
ages 13 to 17 living on the south shore
of Nova Scotia.
The program will offer 12 girls living
in Lunenburg, Queens, Shelburne and
Yarmouth counties the opportunity to
participate in a transformative wilderness adventure program. It will include
elements of team building, wilderness
survival, expedition planning, personal
and technical skill development in preparation for a solo experience.
“We see the value in offering wil-
derness based programs for girls as
a stepping stone to more challenging
hands-on environments like our co-ed
sailing programs,” said executive director Heather Kelday.
“On this expedition, participants will
immediately step into leadership positions as they help to design the trip,
pack the food and take command of the
experience.”
The program includes a seven day expedition on West Ironbound Island and
will ultimately provide further opportunities for recreation and community
engagement after their trip.
For more information, contact the
Nova Scotia Sea School.

Riverport to step back in time
for schooner races
The tiny harbour of Riverport, Nova
Scotia will turn back the clock 100 years
to the days of schooner fishing, coastal
transportation, and rum running when
they host the Nova Scotia Schooner Association for their 52nd annual Schooner
Race Week.
Over 20 Nova Scotian-built schooners
were expected to begin arriving on August 3 for the event. The races will take
place from August 4 to 9.
Schooner races were scheduled for
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and
Saturday. The race start line will be off
the Kraut Point Wharf and the finish line
will be in Ritcey’s Cove.
The Nova Scotia Dory Association will
hold dory races in the Cove on Thursday.
As part of the week’s events, the people

at the local post office. In addition, the
Schooner Association’s trophies will be
on display for all to see.
One of the oldest homes in Riverport

postmark for this small community post
office. The release for the new postmark
will be Thursday, August 7. As well, the

Cherished sailboat returns
to the water
By REBECCA DINGWELL
rdingwell@southshorenow.ca
GOLD RIVER – Hugh Harper’s dream
boat is back in the water.
After a two-year long project, his
refurbished Alberg 30 sailboat was
launched off the South Shore.
The dual citizen from Tennessee previously sailed on his Cape Dory Typhoon.
“The bug bit me for maybe something
a little bit bigger, so I started reading
about the Alberg 30,” said Mr. Harper.
“[It’s an] extremely seaworthy, extremely solid boat.”
In Fall 2012, he finally found an Alberg for sale and had it shipped to
Lunenburg County to have it refurbished.
“He wanted to have it done up here
simply because he had a cottage in
Lunenburg County,” said Colleen Demond of PremiereSea Ltd. in Chester.
“He wanted to put some money into the
economy here.”
PremiereSea Ltd. helped with much
of the refurbishing, but Mr. Harper also
worked on the boat himself.
“[The work] included basically gutting the inside of the boat and starting
over,” said Ms Demond.
The boat has new upholstery, a new
toilet and new sails – among other
things.
It was put back in the water at the
Gold River Marina on June 25, but was
not officially launched until later.
“It’s been almost two years fixing it
up, so I’m thrilled,” said Mr. Harper.

Bridgewater fine with council
size, style of governance
By KEITH CORCORAN
kcorcoran@southshorenow.ca
BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater’s civic
politicians continue to hear that citizens
are siding with the town’s current state
of political affairs - six councillors and
one mayor - when it comes to feedback
on the mandated provincial review of the
number of elected politicians and style of
governance among Nova Scotia’s municipal governments.
“Anyone that I’ve talked to with respect
to boundary review think the status-quo
is just fine,” Bridgewater Deputy Mayor
Bill McInnis said last week.
A Hollingsworth Drive resident, Palma
Champoux, addressed council recently
and reiterated comments from an informal public meeting last month hosted by
the town to hear opinions concerning the
review.
He said six councillors in Bridgewater
fits for a town of its population and geographic size. Mr. Champoux suggested a
“team concept” is the positive by-product
of the status-quo and is something that’s
less likely to be achieved via a ward system.
MOTHER OF MOTHS
Walter and Verena Kaufmann of First Peninsula recently discovered a mated pair
of cecropia moths, the largest kind of moths in North America. “They are found
throughout the province, but very spotty in their distribution, so most people never see
them,” said Andrew Hebda from the Nova Scotia Museum. “It is even more unusual to
catch them mating.”

Untreated hearing loss can create
significant barriers to productivity,
performance, career success and
lifelong earnings.
“I believe if you have individual councillors representing a ward of the community they would tend to try to put
the needs of their ward ahead of what
might be the greater need for the Town
of Bridgewater,” Mr. Champoux told the
council meeting. “Teamwork brings together diverse knowledge and skills …
and can result in quicker decision-making.”
An acclaimed candidate in a ward system may not be in the best interests of
taxpayers, he added, suggesting a ward
system could lead to even fewer voters
going to the polls or to a large number of
wasted ballots.
Deputy Mayor McInnis figured a ward
system could cause more dissension.
“When you’re elected you defend and
fight for your ward and it’s divisive for
the town this size,” he said.
Municipalities, including Bridgewater,
have until the end of December to file
applications to the Nova Scotia Utility
and Review Board. However, Bridgewater
wants to get its paperwork submitted in
October.

Rockabilly
picnic
Second annual event
held in Broad Cove
I
t was the scene out of the 1950s at the second annual
Rockabilly Picnic at the Broad Cove community hall on
August 3.
Rockabilly is a style of dress and music that came along
with the birth of rock and roll music in the 1950s, and those
attending the Broad Cove event didn’t disappoint. Men had
slicked back hair and rolled up jeans and women wore their
hair in ’50s hairstyles with colourful polka-dot poodle skirts
and dresses.
The family day featured popular 1950s activities such as hula
hooping, a dunk tank, cotton candy, popcorn and there were
even some classic cars on site. Even the style of music keep
in tune with the theme with Halifax rockabilly band the Chris
Martin Trio.

Bicycle Nova Scotia, through support from the Nova Scotia
Tourism Agency, has recently produced a map series and a website detailing five top cycling routes in Nova Scotia.
They cover road routes and parts of the rails-to-trails network in five areas, including the Cabot Trail, the Northumberland Shore, the Acadian Shore, the South
Shore and the Annapolis Valley.
“We realized that there was very little
to welcome or introduce cyclists visiting our province to our best bicycling
routes,” said Ben Buckwold of Bicycle
Nova Scotia.
“There is still more to cover, but this is
a first step to ensure information is available at the visitor information centres on
some options for cyclists.”
Bicycle Nova Scotia published a popular route guide called Nova Scotia by
Bicycle in 1995, but this is the first update
in almost twenty years.
“This is just the tool we’ve been looking for,” said Rose and Al MacEachen,
owners of Sweet Ride Cycling in Mahone
Bay.
“It allows us to showcase all the best,
scenic routes including the rails-to-trails
network and quiet coastal options for
both visitors and local residents new to
cycling or riding again for the first time
in years.”

“It’s incredibly scenic and
there’s lots of very attractive
low traffic volume coastal
roads in the area.”
–––––––––
Bicycle Nova Scotia
Ben Buckwold
The South Shore in the Hubbards to LaHave section was a really popular choice,
Mr. Buckwold said.
“There was a lot of strong support for
developing this particular route because
its so well known in the community as a
great place to cycle. It’s incredibly scenic
and there’s lots of very attractive low traffic volume coastal roads in the area.”
The Nova Scotia Tourism Agency supported the project with $30,000 under the
Tourism Development Investment: Competitive Edge Program.
“Nova Scotia’s scenic coastal roads
through charming communities, combined with our abundance of local food
and wine is appealing to cyclists,” said
Michel Samson, Minister of Economic
and Rural Development and Tourism.
“These new routes and resources will
encourage more outdoor enthusiasts to
explore more of our province, and we’re
delighted to welcome them.”
Bicycle Nova Scotia hopes to develop
more route maps in the coming years, and
also wants to promote existing maps produced by municipalities to increase the
number of recreational and commuter
cyclists.
Additional efforts include plans for a
province-wide bicycle-friendly business
program as well as a Bicycle Business
Association.
“We know that bicycle tourism is increasing globally, and with the re-instatement of the Yarmouth Ferry, there is an
additional opportunity to increase cyclists from the US,” Mr. Buckwold said.
“We have such an asset here that is
largely underutilized.”

SPORTS
Lifeguards compete
at Rissers Beach
Athletes from across Nova Scotia competed in the second round of the Lifesaving Sport Series at Rissers Beach on July
26.
This competition included a junior
lifeguard category for children aged
seven to 15, and a senior lifesaving sport
category for ages 16 and up.
Athletes participated in beach flags,
board race, surf swim race, oceanman/
woman and beach sprint events.
Rissers Beach lifeguards Fletch Selig,
Mitch Baker and Rachael Weagle were
among the participants in the competition, with Mr. Selig placing first for the
beach flags event.
The junior lifeguards had the chance
to watch the senior competitors participate in the events before they competed
themselves. They braved the cold waters
and showed a strong sense of accomplishment by the end of the day.
“It was great for the first timers to see
a real competition from start to finish,”
said Wendy Bleau, the mother of junior
lifeguard Cole Bleau.
“It’s the only sport I know of that is a
practical skill development turned into
a competition. As they become stronger
athletes they also become stronger lifeguards.”
The Lifesaving Society Sport Series
consists of three competitions for senior
athletes throughout the summer. This
series leads up to the Canadian surf
lifesaving championships, to be held on
August 22 to 24 at Parlee Beach in New
Brunswick.
Mr. Selig won a gold medal in the pentathlon at the 2013 Canadian Surf Lifesaving Championships.
“As a lifeguard, you never know what
could happen on a given day,” said Paul
D’Eon, director of the Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service.
“Competing in lifesaving sport provides a great incentive for lifeguards to
pursue excellence in their skills.”
Athletes from across Nova Scotia competed in the second round of the Lifesaving Sport
Series at Rissers Beach on July 26.
Young sailor with visual impairment competes at Sail East Regatta
By REBECCA DINGWELL
rdingwell@southshorenow.ca
Nick Gentleman competed in the Sail East/Bay Wind Regatta under sail #80.
Parsons takes slim lead
in mixed softball league
Parsons Construction used their
games-in-hand to gain a leg up on the
second-place BMI Freaks in the Bridgewater and Area Softball League last
Friday night, but it may not be by quite
the margin they had hoped for.
Parsons took the opening contest
against the Bridgewater River Pub
Alers before having to settle for a tie
against the fourth-place Alers in the
second game of the evening. Nick Foley
launched a three-run shot to help Parsons overcome a sixth-inning deficit
and claim a point in the evening’s final
inning.
The Alers are the only team to take
points from Parsons in the mixed league
so far in 2014, having also beaten the
first-place club a month ago.
Parsons now sits three points ahead
of the idle BMI Freaks in the race for
first place in the Bridgewater and Area
Mixed Softball League.
Elsewhere last Friday night, the
Bushwacker Renegades put a crimp in
the plans of Orange Crush, taking two
games from that team. Orange Crush
sits in a tie for fourth with the Alers
with 29 points.
The Northfield Gunners, meanwhile,
moved into third place by two points
with a pair of wins over the O’Regan’s
Subaru Outlaws.
Charlie’s Pizza and the Misfits split
their contests, while Oickle’s Enviro
Depot took two games head-to-head with
Bridgewater Insurance in the last of the
regular Friday night games.
Over the weekend, eight mixed
league teams participated in the Upcountry Classic. Parsons Construction
would wind up facing the BMI Freaks in
the finals and the former would wind up
defeating the second-place Freaks by an
8-6 score in an entertaining championship game.
The regular season resumes next Friday night, with a slate of interesting
games, as the 2014 season begins its
steady descent toward the annual yearend tournament championship.
Parsons will be in for two tough
games against O’Regan’s at LaHave
Street Field. At the MARC, the River
Pub Alers and Northfield will meet for
the first time this year with the threeseed potentially on the line on Field
1. On Field 2, Charlie’s Pizza will host
Oickle’s Enviro Depot, while on Field 3,
the Misfits will face a tough test in the
Freaks. Orange Crush has a bye week.

HUBBARDS – Nick Gentleman is only
12, but he recently became the first visually impaired sailor to compete in a dinghy regatta in Nova Scotia.
“I was really excited. It was a lot of
fun,” Nick said of the Sail East/Bay Wind
Regatta.
This is Nick’s fourth year with the
Hubbards Sailing Club.
“I love the feeling of being out there on
the water, being in control,” said Nick. “I
just feel free.”
Nick has a condition called Familial
Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), a
disease which affects the retina. He is
legally blind as a result.
“My eyes will move around a lot without my control,” said Nick.
Although the Halifax native faces challenges other sailors do not, he has adapt-
ed to go succeed in the sport in his own
way.
“Sometimes, I can’t really see the race
marks,” said Nick. “I’ll follow the rest of
my group, and once I’m able to see it I’ll
be able to get my own track and try to
pass some boats.”
Nick admitted learning to sail was
scary at first, because he can’t always see
exactly what is happening. These days, he
is much more comfortable with the skills
he has learned.
“Sometimes it’s hard to tell how much
wind there is because I can’t see where
the waves are moving,” said Nick. “I’ve
learned how to read the wind really well.
So, every day I can tell where the wind is
coming from.”
While this was Nick’s first regatta,
it certainly won’t be his last. He hopes
to compete in the Nova Scotia Opti Provincials at the Hubbards Sailing Club in
September.

Seven years of quality through technology
DHW cabinet doors sold across NS
Derek Wentzell,
a.k.a. “DW” is the
owner and operator of DHW Cabinet Doors in First
South. Mr. Wentzell
has been creating
cabinets for four
decades.
By LEENA ALI
lali@southshorenow.ca
FIRST SOUTH — At 10 years old, Derek
Wentzell remembers doing carpentry work
with his father on the weekends. Back in
those days, he was passing lumber to his
dad on the roof.
Now, he’s creating quality custom-made
wooden cabinet doors that travel to clients
in Newfoundland and across Nova Scotia.
Known to many as “DW,” Mr. Wentzell
grew up in First South and has four decades of cabinet-making experience.
“A lot of people don’t know me by my
name,” he laughs, explaining that when
people call his workshop they strictly want
to speak with “DW.”
Cabinet-making started off as a hobby
for Mr. Wentzell in 1972.
“I started building entertainment centres for people and they liked my work …
that was a big thing back then, and then
I started into building kitchen cabinets.”
Mr. Wentzell also worked at Composites
Atlantic as a carpenter for both the Lunenburg and Mill Cove plants, where he’d
often work the night shifts building offices.
He’d make cabinets on the side, but
eventually it turned into more than a pastime.
It was seven years ago that Mr. Wentzell
opened up DHW Cabinet Doors, located
at 1253 Highway 332. The facility houses
state-of-the-art machinery that helps Mr.
Wentzell produce his finest work. Prior to
bringing in new technology, Mr. Wentzell
made the doors on shapers.
“They were very dangerous on your fingers, you had to really be careful because
they’re not guarded well,” he says.
The advanced technology allows Mr.
Wentzell to produce a 3/4 inch panels compared to 5/8
with shapers.
“I am the only one that makes a door with a 3/4 inch
panel in Atlantic Canada.”
“You can make them faster with these machines
as well. My quality was good before — making doors
on shapers — but now it’s really good having the machines,” he says, adding that they’re
safer, produce a higher volume and
everything is precise.
Some of his equipment includes
a raised panel machine, a style and
rail machine, and a digital 635 ARD
planer, made in Russia, which is the
only one of its kind in Canada, he explains. With a final sanding the cabinets are 20,000th/inch on each side.
But it wasn’t until he constructed
his new facility that he had the room for the equipment.
In fact, the idea to construct the building came after
an offer Mr. Wentzell received from Nova Wood Products.
The company wanted him to make 1,200 doors.
“I told them if they want 1,200 doors they would never
be able to afford to buy them because they cost too much
made by hand and on shaper,” he says.
The representative from the company then suggested
“you should set up a door plant … and we’ll buy your
doors,” recalls Mr. Wentzell.
LEENA ALI PHOTOS
“I just laughed it off … but then I got serious, and
[thought] ‘yeah if I can get some extra money I’m gonna
put up a door plant,’ and well, I got the extra money and
here it is.”
With his own money and through government assistance he was able to build the $1.2 million facility that
stands today.
“You have to put out a very good product and you have
to have a very good price to go along
with it,” he says, adding that its a competitive market for doors.
“It’s just like meat in the grocery
store, if it isn’t a good cut and not a
good price — you don’t want it,” he
says.
The technology helps him create
the precise product that he’s proud of.
The cabinet doors are made out of
material such as maple, birch, oak,
ash and cherry and are all sourced within Canada.
The majority of Mr. Wentzell’s work is shipped to
clientele across the province, and in 2012 he built the
cabinet doors for the Bluenose II.
“They’re walnut with ash inserts,” he says, adding
that having his work featured on the Bluenose also
helped him gain work in Newfoundland.
“When you put out a good product — like I am here
with this plant — it really makes you feel good at the end
of the day.”

BUSINESS
Sea-kayaking venture opens on the Dublin Shore
By LEENA AL
lali@southshorenow.ca
DUBLIN SHORE — A new business has opened
up on the Dublin Shore offering sea-kayaking, wilderness adventures and yoga in the LaHave Islands
Archipelago.
Cape LaHave Adventures opened up in June, when
co-founders Sarah Hrdlicka and Scott McCormack
moved to the South Shore from Montreal.
“Scott has a cottage in the Mahone Bay area so we
were coming back in the fall every year pretty much
to visit family. Last year we did some trips out in the
LaHave islands — just the two of us — and we totally
fell in love with the area,” says Ms Hrdlicka.
Mr. McCormack, originally from Halifax, grew up
visiting the South Shore every summer.
“It was always one of my favourite places to paddle, down here at LaHave Islands, I just got to explore
around and it’s just such a beautiful coast,” he says.
Located on 90 Bells Cove Road, the recently formed
company offers guided sea-kayak day trips — halfday or full-day — and sunset tours by request.
“We’re offering courses for people who want to
learn some of the safety and navigation techniques
for themselves, so that people can do their own trips
as well,” says Ms Hrdlicka.
Cape LaHave Adventures also offers multi-day
sea-kayaking and camping, Paddle Canada instruction, outdoor and environmental education programs, canoe trips and yoga classes.
“We paddle out and do some yoga on the beach and
paddle back,” say Ms Hrdlicka, adding that one place
they go is Mosher Island.
Ms Hrdlicka has been practicing yoga for more
than 16 years and is a registered yoga teacher with
the Yoga Alliance, holds sea-kayak certifications and
is a wilderness first responder. Mr. McCormack has
been a sea-kayak guide for 12 years, a certified canoe
and kayak instructor, and has previously worked for
the Nova Scotia Sea School, East Coast Outfitters
and outdoor education programs.
“There’s a lot of people that come down every year
and they’ve been coming here from New York, from
New England or Ontario,” says Mr. McCormack.
“It’s been fun to meet people … hear their stories,
go paddling with them and take them out because it’s
something they really love to do. They seem pretty
excited that we’re here.”
Both Mr. McCormack and Ms Hrdlicka also take
their work to Antarctica, where they guide tours
with Quark Expeditions during the winter.
The local seasonal business will operate kayak trips from
June to September, by appointment in early spring and late
fall, and workshops and yoga classes will run until the end of
October.
Canada Post adds new outlet in Mahone Bay
Postal services have recently been added to the
Kinburn Pharmasave at 522 Main Street in Mahone
Bay.
The new Canada Post outlet will offer stamps,
post office boxes, money orders, parcel pickup,
shipping, government forms such as Revenue Canada and Passport Canada, debit/credit card payments.
“The staff and I at the Kinburn Pharmasave are
excited about launching the new post office service,” says manager Martha Dolliver in a Canada
Post release.
“It will offer great convenience for customers
and will offer all standard services.”
The outlet will open from Monday to Friday from
9 a.m. to 9 p.m, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
“Working with Ms. Dolliver and her staff enables Canada Post to make postal services even
more accessible to busy Canadians. We’re pleased
to welcome them as part of the Canada Post retail
family,” said Doug Jones, Senior vice president,
delivery and customer experience at Canada Post.
Media Relations representative for Canada Post,
John Caines, says the new service “won’t affect the
operation of the corporate post office,” and is an
addition to the services already offered in the town.
Summer most dangerous
for young employees
With over forty per cent of all workplace injuries
for young workers occurring during the summer
months, the Workers’ Compensation Board of Nova
Scotia (WCB) is reminding young workers and
their employers to focus on workplace safety during this peak time.
“Injury or death should not be part of any young
person’s summer job. We want young workers to
remain safe and healthy so they can enjoy their
friends and family, have fun and gain valuable
experience over the summer,” said Kelly Regan,
Minister of Labour and Advanced Education, in a
recent release.
“The key to that is safety training and for employers and workers to keep safety a top priority
at work.”
Young workers are five times more likely to be
injured on the job in the first month of work and in
2013 there were 3,150 registered claims for workers
under the age of 25 years, comprising 13 per cent
of all registered claims. Of that number, 624 young
workers were injured seriously enough to require
time off work, comprising 10 per cent of all time-
loss claims.
According to the WCB, of the 3,150 young worker
injuries reported last year, about 40 per cent occurred from June to September. Most of these
injuries happened in the accommodation, food and
beverage, retail, manufacturing and construction
industries.
“Summer is a great time to do the things that
matter most, like spending time with friends, heading to the beach, going to concerts or the movies,”
said Stuart MacLean, chief executive officer of the
WCB.
“Providing young workers with a quality safety
orientation and then ongoing safety training is
essential to prevent workplace injuries, and helps
ensure they can enjoy their favourite activities all
summer long.”
Injuries to backs, shoulders and hands are most
common in young workers. The majority of these
are related to overexertion caused by repetitive
motion, lifting heavy objects or working in an awkward position.

David Johnston
On Sunday evening, July 27, we lost
our David, a gentle, genuine and
loyal soul.
A man with an unsinkable sense of
humour and wit, he will be missed by
every person lucky enough to know
him. David gave so much of himself
to each and every one of us.
An accomplished artist, cook, home
renovator, history buff and highly
respected teacher. He was especially
a proud father. David did all things
well.
Dave was born in Greasbrough,
South Yorkshire (1948), to Joan
Skelton and Tony Johnston.
Playing cricket and soccer in his youth was his passion and as he would say:
“I had my moments.” He was always a proud Yorkshireman and Leeds United
supporter throughout his forty years in Canada. Scotch was his drink and the
Montreal Canadiens his team. David loved living the past two years on the south
shore of Nova Scotia but too short a time it was.
The good memories and good times will be forever remembered and cherished
by his wife, Kerry Riley of Blue Rocks, NS; and daughter, Morgyn Johnston,
Toronto; sister, Lindsay Johnston; as well as niece, Lisa Wright (Shawn, Josh and
Jake); and nephew, Jamie Johnston (Claire, Amelia, Ryan, Megan), South
Yorkshire. Also the Riley clan in Toronto and New Brunswick; and best buddies in
Ontario, the UK and New Zealand.
A very special light has been extinguished but “the flame still burns!”
Special thanks to the many nurses on the 4th floor medical unit SSRH for their
care, compassion and wisdom, especially Sue Zwicker, Shauna MacLean and
Andrew Monroe, as well as Louise Blackie and Doctors Dave Abriel, Mada Nestel
and Heather Robertson.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to South Shore Palliative Care and the
David Suzuki Foundation, through the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, Lunenburg.
http://www.sweenyfuneralhome.ca
According to Dave’s wishes cremation has taken place and there will be no service.
“Warm afterglow, how discretely you flow, casting twilight’s halo, on the dimming day. Calm afterglow, bathing each hill and hedgerow in a scarlet shadow,
slipping slowly grey.”
It is with deep sadness the family of
the late Judith Isabelle “Judy” Cook,
76, of Lunenburg, announces her
passing on Monday, July 7, 2014, at
the South Shore Regional Hospital,
Bridgewater.
Born in Mahone Bay, she was a
daughter of the late Ross A. and

LUNENBURG — A pair of public hearings have been set for
August 12 at noon to consider a proposed housing development off
Sandy Hollow Road and a request for an amendment to the land-use
bylaw.
Local developers Bob Youden and Scott Youden of Sandy Hollow
Properties Ltd.-Made for Mahone Bay Ltd. are looking to build two
four-plex rental housing units aimed at senior citizens on a piece
of land at the corner of Dufferin Street and Sandy Hollow Road.
The units, which would be situated across from the Sandy Hollow apartment complex completed in 2010, would each be 1,100
square feet with two bedrooms, sitting and bathing facilities.
A duplex is also being planned for the site to be constructed at
a later date.
A public information meeting on the proposal was held July 9
after which the planning advisory committee recommended council proceed with the public hearing.
The second hearing, which involves an amendment to the landuse bylaw, was initiated by Councillor Tyler Hayden.
It would permit the sale of agricultural products on the land on
which they are produced in all areas zoned R3, rural residential.
The Haydens own a small farm property at 11o Tannery Road.

Splashes from the Lunenburg pool
It’s midsummer and swimmers at the
Lunenburg pool have been having fun
swimming no matter the weather.
The next swimming lessons session
begins August 11.
Meanwhile, the pool’s annual lap-athon is scheduled for August 8 from noon
until 3 p.m.
Every swimmer is given the opportunity to participate in helping us raise
funds to improve the pool. Our goal this
year is to accumulate enough laps to
swim the distance from Lunenburg and
District Swimming Pool to Mush-A-Mush
Lake. Contact us if you would like to help
us out in our endeavour.
There’s also a recyclables fundraiser
box at Corkum’s Recycling Limited where
people may donate to the pool by placing
any extra change in the box. Every little
bit is appreciated.
A great aid in preparing our canteen
for both our annual swim meet and the
Festival of Crafts canteen.
Finally, a big thank you goes out to
all those who came out to support our
swim team at our annual swim meet
and the pool at our Festival of Crafts
canteen. They were both great successes.
The funds raised are going towards our
refurbishment of the pool.
As always feel free to contact us with
any questions at 634-4499 and come on out
and join us any day for a swim.
