Pool opens
at LCLC
Free swims offered
this weekend

BRIDGEWATER- After a long wait, the BMO Financial Group Aquatic Centre at the Lunenburg County
Lifestyle Centre opened up for a recreational swim in the
afternoon April 13.
The facility includes a 25-metre, six-lane pool, a leisure pool and a therapy pool with lots of pool toys for
children to enjoy.
Karen Selig is the aquatics manager at the LCLC. She
has been waiting for a local pool to open for 25 years and
everyone that came to swim was really pleased with the
facility, she said.
“It’s really just overwhelming. I had someone here
who felt the same. They came and swam as part of the
lifeguard training and they said, ‘It’s part of a dream
come true.’
“People are so excited to use it. We’ve been waiting a
long time and, to me, it’s surpassed what we were waiting for.”
The leisure and therapy pools are great for all ages,
from young kids starting swimming lessons to senior
citizens with mobility issues.

Bridgewater ceremony marks health centre opening
By KEITH CORCORAN

BRIDGEWATER — The South Shore’s top doc calls a
public ceremony marking the official opening of the new
Bridgewater and Area Family Health Centre a milestone
toward an overall goal of ensuring people have access to
primary care providers.
People packed the foyer of Bridgewater’s South Shore
Medical Arts building April 11 to celebrate the opening
of the new clinic.
The centre, which is an expansion of the Glen Allan

Drive structure, houses family doctors, nurse practitioners, and other health care providers and has space for
visiting professionals.
South Shore Health chief executive officer, Dr. Peter
Vaughan, indicated that the family health centre will
help the local area compete in recruiting health-care
professionals who want to work in a turn-key operation,
in a team-like atmosphere and complement a primary
health-care network in the region.
The local area’s successfully recruited five doctors
and five specialists over the past year or so, but more
providers are needed. The goal is to recruit three more
doctors over the next two to three years.
“We know today’s opening won’t solve all of our
shortages overnight, but it does put us in a much better
position to attract providers to this community, which is
ultimately what we need to do to ensure people have access to the care they need,” Dr. Vaughan told the crowd
attending the opening ceremony.
“We’re still working on final touches, such as signage
and installation of equipment, but once that’s done, the
practice will host an open house so the entire community can see this great facility.”

“If you look at Lunenburg County demographics, we are an aging population
here. We’re hearing every day from people who can’t wait to use it, who need it
and how it’s really going to improve their
quality of life.”
The centre will have after school swims
as well.
“They can come here and swim for a
couple hours and be active. We are within
walking distance to two schools.”
Parents will no longer have to worry
about their children being outside in the
cold or having lessons cancelled because
of weather, Ms Selig said.
“Our instructors are going through a
rigorous training program to get them
ready to do the length of classes which
are a little bit longer than what they are
used to at an outdoor facility.”
Amanda Lipsett and her children, Abigail and Keaton, were there to enjoy the
first day of the pool.
“It’s phenomenal. It’s awesome,” Ms
Lipsett said. “I’ve been living here all my
life and we’ve been waiting for it since I
was young.”
The family is very excited to take
swimming lessons, go on family swims
and adult swims.
“It was fun. There was lots of kids
here. The noodles and toys and stuff they
had for the kids is great and the slide is
awesome. The kids had lots of fun. We’re
going to get a membership and we’ll be
here all the time,” Ms Lipsett said.
“We’re just really happy that it’s here
and that everyone has come together and
worked together to get it done, thankfully.
We’re very excited.”
It feels good to have the whole LCLC
open, she added.
“It feels now that it’s complete and

Bridgewater ceremony marks
health centre opening
CEREMONY from A1
Mayors for the Town of Bridgewater
and Municipality of Lunenburg, David
Walker and Don Downe, felt the new
centre is a product of finding answers
to health-care delivery concerns in
the community and a win for patients
who’ll have a modern care experience.
“The centre has a diversified healthcare team, electronic medical records,
room to see patients safely and privately,
and teaching space,” the Department
of Health and Wellness said in a statement. “There are also areas for visiting
professionals in areas such as geriatric
medicine, mental health and addictions,
midwifery, social work and other fields.”
The province is committing up to
$240,000 annually to cover the centre’s
operational costs.
Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil
credited the community for leading and
working with others to achieve the centre’s development.
“With all of the challenges facing
our province in the delivery of health
care and all of the other challenges we
face, our success will be determined on
how well we work together, on how well
we leverage each other’s passion and
resources to ensure no matter where
you live in this province, you get access
to timely quality care,” the premier told
the ceremony.
The accomplishment of the centre
was also aided by donations. For example, the South Shore Regional Hospital
Auxiliary contributed $145,000 toward
the centre’s furnishings and equipment.
The Department of Health and Wellness said the centre could provide health
care to more than 8,000 patients and
families once the facility is fully staffed.

Wayne Eisnor appeals
murder conviction
Mental fitness again in play
in latest court effort
By LISA BROWN
lbrown@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY — A former Barss Corner man is appealing his first-degree
murder conviction in the 2010 shooting
death of his estranged wife.
Wayne Paul Eisnor’s mental fitness
is once again in play in the latest court
proceeding.
A Supreme Court jury found him
guilty of first-degree murder following
a trial in Bridgewater last September.
He received the automatic sentence of
life in prison with no parole for 25 years.
Tina Mae Eisnor died after being
shot twice in the head as she sat in her
van in the parking lot of a New Germany grocery store on June 30, 2010.
Witnesses at trial indicated she had
just been speaking with her estranged
husband, who was found a few feet
away in the same parking lot with a selfinflicted gunshot wound to the head.
In his notice of appeal, Mr. Eisnor
says Justice Glen McDougall erred in
not allowing the jury to determine if he
was mentally fit to stand trial.
His lawyer, Roger Burrill, argued
that point before trial, claiming Mr. Eisnor was unable to make full answer in
defence because he could not remember
the events surrounding the shooting.
Mr. Eisnor, 51, suffered amnesia as
a result of brain damage from the gunshot wound.
Justice McDougall refused to allow
the issue to be put to the jury, concluding that courts have repeatedly ruled
that amnesia alone does not make an
accused person unfit for trial.
Mr. Eisnor was found fit by a lower
court in April 2012, after initially being
found unfit in 2010.
He is also appealing Justice McDougall’s interpretation of the Criminal
Code’s definition of unfit to stand trial
and claims the judge allowed the jury
to hear “extraneous inadmissible evidence.”
The Nova Scotia Court of Appeal has
not yet set a date to hear the appeal.

CHESTER — Chester council has
passed a notice of motion that will possibly be the first step in an effort to amend
the municipality’s sewer bylaw.
The issue of unfair charges for waste
water disposal, which has become a contentious one with area residents, first
surfaced earlier this year when council
tried to address a situation that currently
sees annual fees fluctuate wildly for businesses and residents hooked up to one
of five municipal systems, depending on
where they are located.
Complicating matters is the fact that
the system serving the Village of Chester
has not only been self-sufficient financially, but also shows a healthy surplus of
just under $243,000, while the five other
systems are carrying operating deficits.
Chester Basin leads the way with a
$160,000 deficit, Western Shore is next
at $46,044, Otter Point is $21,406 in the
red, New Ross’ deficit is $17,855 and Mill
Cove’s is $1,836.
The Village of Chester’s annual charge
is assessment-based at a rate of $0.18,
making the average annual bill $509, although the two schools in the area pay a
flat fee.
The Chester Basin system serves only
five customers who are charged a flat annual fee of $1,000, while the 385 customers
hooked on to the Western Shore system
pay just $350 per year.
The 17 customers using the municipal
sewer in New Ross pay a flat rate of $1,100
annually, and accounts in Mill Cove pay
an annual assessment-based rate of $.50
per $100 of assessment.
Otter Point’s 41 customers pay a flat
fee of $500 with unserviced lots being
charged an annual rate of $167.
Heavy users in each district, such as
schools, hotels and seniors’ homes, are
charged higher rates than small businesses or residential customers.
Council had asked staff to come up
with some options on how to best make
the rate system fairer and more equitable
for all residents of the municipality, and
they brought forth a trio of scenarios
which would do that and pay off the debts.
They included percentage increases to
existing rates, a modified EDU [Equivalent Dwelling Unit] system and a flat rate
annual charge for all users in all systems,
which, while flawed, appeared to be the
most promising proposal of the three.
A large crowd packed council chambers April 10 when the matter was once
again brought up for discussion.
Chester residents Ray Cambria and
Brenda Mulrooney both expressed their
opinions that the proposed flat rate solution would be unfair to customers using
the system in Chester Village.
Mr. Cambria pointed out that flat rates
would increase charges in the village,
while those in some of the other systems
would drop.
He said that Chester is the only area
that currently meets its financial obligations and “I struggle to understand why
you apparently feel this is acceptable.”
Ms Mulrooney echoed Mr. Cambria’s
thoughts, adding that the proposed flat
rate system would be detrimental to business.
“Most businesses in the village are seasonal and should not have this additional
burden,” she said.
Village of Chester legal council Piotr
Luczak also addressed council, saying
that village customers are being asked to
subsidize the other systems which were
not sustainable when they were first installed.
“Our concern is that the proposed selective sewer charge is no more sustainable than the present system. What it
amounts to is amalgamating six systems
into one in what we feel is a little bit of
a budgetary sleight of hand,” he said.
“In other words, as opposed to having
the subsidy to the municipally approved,
non-sustainable sewer system … coming
from the general rate, meaning I and everybody else in the municipality now contributing to those systems, we will now
be able to move that particular budgetary
item off of the municipality’s budget list
and it will be covered by the village.”
He said that is “patently unfair” to
those residents and businesses.
After much discussion among councillors, Warden Allan Webber brought forth
a new proposal as a starting point and
it is on this track that council hopes to
proceed.
That scenario would see the current
charges replaced by an annual fee applicable to all systems, based on a tier
charge based on assessment. The charge
for those districts currently in a deficit
situation would include an amount sufficient to reduce the overall deficit amount
over five years.
That was put into a motion that was
narrowly passed by a four to three vote,
with councillors Brad Armstrong, Andre
Veinotte and Tina Connors voting in the
negative.
“The only change that it makes to the
proposal that we’ve all had in our hands
for the last two weeks is, if you’re going
to pay $350, you’re now going to pay $400.
Anybody who is paying in excess of $400,
it doesn’t change it whatsoever, unless
you’re in one of the districts where you
were going to drop dramatically below …
what the proposed flat rates were, [then]
you’re going to be phased down over five
years,” Warden Webber explained.
Councillor Armstrong objected to the
proposal because it is still based on assessment, which he opposes. Councillor
Veinotte agreed, adding he feels the increase to $400 for those now paying the
lowest was not enough.
“Because it’s assessment-based, it’s
putting too much burden on too few and
sadly those few mainly reside in Chester,”
he said.
The motion to amend the bylaw will
now go to first reading on April 24, at
which time the public will again have an
opportunity to make submissions on the
proposal.
“The purpose of taking it to the public
at this point is to get feedback,” Warden
Webber said. “The rate structure that
is being proposed can be adjusted up or
down without impacting our ability to
move forward.”
Local MP offers condolences on
former finance minister’s death
COUNTY — Among other things, former federal cabinet minister Jim Flaherty will be remembered for his record
as finance minister, South Shore-St. Margaret’s Conservative MP Gerald Keddy
says.
The local MP issued a statement April
11 offering condolences to the Flaherty
family. Mr. Flaherty died suddenly on
April 10. He was 64.
“It is a sad day for all Canadians, re-
gardless of political stripe,” Mr. Keddy
said.
“Jim will be remembered as a great
finance minister who guided us through
extremely difficult times. He was an intelligent man, with a good sense of humour
and always had a smile on his face.”
Mr. Flaherty served as Canada’s finance minister for about eight years before stepping down in March.

Festival expected to

South Shore in Motion nearly
pulled out last week
By STACEY COLWELL
scolwell@southshorenow.ca
BRIDGEWATER — South
Shore in Motion nearly
pulled out of town last week.
“It hasn’t been cancelled,
but will have to be relocated,” said festival chairman
Darren Wentzell in a brief
e-mail to this newspaper on
April 7.
“We are working as fast as
we can.”
The next day, the event’s
organizers apparently met
with South Shore Exhibition
officials to try and keep the
festival at its longtime home.
“The
South

Exhibition
and
the South Shore in Motion
committees have made one
last attempt at reaching a
suitable contract yesterday at 6 p.m.,” said Big Ex
manager Christine Sarty on
April 9.
“We are awaiting South
Shore in Motion’s decision.”
Two days later, that answer came.
“The [South Shore in Motion] committee voted to accept the new contract and
hold the event here again
this year,” said Ms Sarty.
“The South Shore Exhibition is very happy with the
decision.”
Mr. Wentzell could not be
reached for comment.
The event is now expected
to return to Bridgewater for
its 10th anniversary in early
August.
The festival’s featured
events typically include
truck pulls, show ‘n’ shines,
lawn tractor racing and offhighway vehicle challenges.

In terms of economic development, Premier McNeil said there’s
a great opportunity in the exporting business.
“We need to drive exports. We

much needed revenue, to be able
to drive job growth in Nova Scotia.”
The province is changing how
it looks at capital projects, meaning there could be “tough choices”
to make if costs start escalating.
“That is not suggesting at all

valuable. It’s not suggesting that
communities don’t need them.

COUNTY —The South Shore Regional School Board is reviewing
three major projects to propose to
the province for funding.
It has prioritized three business
cases to submit, including a new
school in Petite Riviere and Pentz,
the refurbishment of the main floor
of New Ross Consolidated School
and upgrades to Forest Heights Community School.
Director of operations Brian
Smith recommended the board prioritize a new school in Petite Riviere and Pentz as number one, refurbishments to New Ross as number
two and refurbishments to Forest
Heights as the third priority.
In the past, the province has not
asked for projects to be prioritized.
Business cases for New Ross and
a new school in Petite Riviere and
Pentz were submitted last year, but
were unsuccessful.
This year, the board is asking for
about $10 million to establish the
new school in Petite Riviere and
Pentz.
Last year’s proposal for New Ross
Consolidated School was for a little
over $5.2 million to refurbish the
entire school.
“We’ve gone back and looked at
this business case carefully and we
really understand and that there’s a
need to continue schooling in New
Ross. We need to refurbish this building, but the population has been
dropping and the enrollment is much
lower than it used to be,” said Mr.
Smith at the school board meeting
on April 9.
This year, the board is asking for
about $3.2 million to focus on the
main floor of the building, in turn,
closing the second floor for student
instruction.
This would also include refurbishing the space needed for instruction,
infrastructure upgrades, as well as

improvements to the washrooms and
roof.
Vernon Simms expressed concerns about having New Ross school
second on the priority list, indicating that first floor washrooms present safety concerns.
“With the New Ross school, it has
to stay there. We identify it as needing some serious repairs that can affect the health and safety of the kids.
This situation in New Ross is not
going to go away,” said Mr. Simms,
explaining that he would rather see
it as the first priority.
Mr. Smith said if the board is unable to receive funding for New Ross,
then it would use other funds to provide some upgrades to the washroom
areas.
“Any time we feel something is unsafe or there’s deterioration in some
parts of the building, we absolutely
have to be on it because it’s health
and safety,” said Mr. Smith.
The board is proposing a $629,000
addition and alteration project at
Forest Heights, which would include
infrastructure upgrades and the creation of a learning commons.
“We’re adding Grade 9s at the Forest Heights school starting in the
September 2014 school year and,
with the addition of the Grade 9s,
the school population will increase
and the space there is in need of upgrading for instructional purposes,”
said Mr. Smith.
Whether or not the board receives
funding for this project, Mr. Smith
says there are adequate classrooms
available for the students. However,
“this provides an opportunity for us
to apply for funding to increase the
kind of space we would like to educate these students in,” he said, adding it’s an opportunity to upgrade
the space to provide an inviting and
casual learning environment for 21st
century learners.
More information has to be added
to the plans. The final business cases
are due at the beginning of May.

Admits assaulting grandmother

mother called police for help. Mr. Hatt
had grabbed her by the arms and
banged things around in the kitchen
at her Chester Basin home.
Judge Gregory Lenehan told Mr.
Hatt he has to gain control of his alcohol and other issues.
“If you get that angry when you’re
drinking that you would put your
hands on your grandmother, there’s
definitely some issues that need to be
addressed. That just absolutely cannot
be tolerated by anybody,” he said.
Mr. Hatt also pleaded guilty to four
counts of breaching release conditions. He drank alcohol on December
29 while on an undertaking that prohibited it.
Police conducted curfew checks on
him on March 3 and 11, and again
April 2, discovering he was not at
home. Officers ultimately arrested
him on April 2 and he was held in
custody until last week’s court appearance.
Judge Lenehan fined Mr. Hatt $620
and sentenced him to time served on
those charges.

COUNTY — A Martins Point man
who assaulted his grandma, refused
the breathalyser and breached court
orders is now in jail.
Daniel Michael Hatt, 25, was sentenced to serve 30 days in custody after
pleading guilty to seven charges April
9 in Bridgewater provincial court.
That time was on the breathalyser
charge, his second drinking and driving conviction in 18 months.
Police found Mr. Hatt intoxicated sitting on an ATV in a driveway
in Martins Point February 22. He
couldn’t stand by himself, but would
not provide proper breath samples
despite repeated requests.
He’s now prohibited from driving
for two years.
Mr. Hatt was also placed on probation for a year as part of a suspended
sentence he received on charges of
assault and breaching probation from
September 1.

Community mourns dealth of former MLA
By KEITH CORCORAN
kcorcoran@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY — Political supporters paid tribute last
week to former Lunenburg County Progressive Conservative MLA Ronald T. Barkhouse.
Mr. Barkhouse, who served three terms as MLA for
Lunenburg East, died in Halifax on April 7 at the age
of 87.
He was first elected to the legislature in 1974, and
again in 1978 and 1981, and served as mines and energy
minister. He played a role in municipal politics as well,
serving as a municipal councillor in the New Ross area
for about 20 years.
Mr. Barkhouse is credited with breaking new ground
in his home community. He was the “first chairman of
the board of trustees of New Ross Consolidated School,”
a published obituary said, in addition to being a “founding president of Ross Farm Museum Society” and a
“founding president of the New Ross Historical Society
….”
Hubbards resident and Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative party president Janet Fryday-Dorey came to
know Mr. Barkhouse more-so after the New Ross area
became part of the Chester-St. Margaret’s district and
he was active with that local Tory riding association.
Ms Fryday-Dorey described Mr. Barkhouse as a statesman and someone who was passionate about politics,
community and family.
When he spoke at meetings, people listened, she said.
South Shore-St. Margaret’s Conservative MP Gerald
Keddy called Mr. Barkhouse a great politician whose legacy is the early development of the province’s offshore
and his great belief and support of tidal power.
“He was a well-respected minister and had a full grasp
of his files and a terrific sense of humour,” Mr. Keddy,
a New Ross area resident, said in an e-mail. “He was
an early mentor for me and a person whose advice was
always respected.”
Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative leader Jamie
Baillie read a resolution in Province House on April
9 calling on Nova Scotia lawmakers to recognize the
New Ross-born man’s “significant contributions to governance in Nova Scotia” and send condolences to Mr.
Barkhouse’s friends and loved ones.
Current Chester-St. Margaret’s MLA Denise PetersonRafuse said in a statement she was honoured to have had
the chance to get to know Mr. Barkhouse.
“Mr. Barkhouse was an individual who worked hard
for the local community and always put families first,”
the NDP MLA said. “He will be missed and my condolences go out to his family and friends.”
Mr. Barkhouse operated Barkhouse’s General Store
and Lumber for many years before entering provincial
politics.
In addition to his myriad of accomplishments, he was
also a recipient of the Commemorative Medal for the
125th Anniversary of Confederation, and both the Queen
Elizabeth II Silver and Golden Jubilee Medals.
The funeral service for Mr. Barkhouse was scheduled
for April 10 at the New Ross Baptist Church.
He is survived by his wife, Eleanor, a son and two
daughters, several grandchildren and a great-grandson.

Couple caught with marijuana and guns
By LISA BROWN
lbrown@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY — A Martins Point couple caught with
marijuana and guns ended up in court April 9.
Colleen Patricia Johnston, 47, pleaded guilty to charges of producing and possessing marijuana.
Christopher Jerome Siefert, 58, entered guilty pleas to
charges of improperly storing firearms and possessing
guns without being licenced.
Federal prosecutor Jodi Mailman told the court
police searched the couple’s home on September 5 of
last year.
Officers found 45 grams of marijuana in the kitchen
and three marijuana plants behind the home.
Ms Johnston later gave a statement admitting the
marijuana was hers for personal use.
Crown attorney Lloyd Tancock indicated police also
found a shotgun beside the bed and .16-gauge shells in
a nearby night stand. They seized four unsecured rifles
from a closet.
Coupled with the marijuana found in the home, Mr.
Tancock said the situation was concerning.
“It’s not difficult for the public, I suspect, to put one
and one together and come up with some suggestion as
to why they may have been there,” the Crown attorney
said.
Legal aid lawyer Josh Nodelman said Ms Johnston’s
job and volunteer work in the community may be jeopardized by her conviction, saying she “has and will endure
a weighty punishment” beyond the courtroom.
Judge Gregory Lenehan fined Ms Johnston $1,150
and placed her on probation for a year. During that
time, she must stay clear of drugs and take substance
abuse counselling as directed. She’s banned from
having firearms for 10 years and was also required to
submit a DNA sample for the national criminal data
bank.
The judge fined Mr. Siefert $575 and banned him from
having firearms for two years, saying it doesn’t take
much to comply with gun storage laws.
“You just completely ignored it,” he said.

for all Nova Scotians, telling one and all
that the future prosperity of this province
lies with us.
It doesn’t just lie with government or with business. It isn’t something we can leave to the next
generation. Each and every person living in this
province must take responsibility for its current and
future economy.
When Ray Ivany, the chairman of the Nova Scotia
Commission on Building Our New Economy, spoke
to the Lunenburg Liberal Association dinner April
4, he offered real examples of ways individuals need
to change their thinking.
One of those directions would force many of us to
give up something we’re very good at — even “worldclass” at, according to Mr. Ivany.
The narrow outlook of parochialism must be
obliterated from our mindset. Put simply, many of
us have to change the way we think.
“We’ve got to slay this dragon,” Mr. Ivany told
the gathering. “The single best thing for Lunenburg
County is for Halifax to blow the lights out, for Halifax to be so successful it’s frightening.”
While people in rural Nova Scotia may balk at
this suggestion seeing it as yet another example of
urban centralization, we would urge you to stop and
consider what the Ivany report is saying.
How many people do we know who live in Lunenburg County and commute to Halifax to work now?
How many of our younger generations live and work
in the greater Halifax area while their parents continue to reside in rural Nova Scotia?
As Halifax prospers, these trends will continue.
If Halifax lands big industry or big business deals,
local people will find work there and others may
move to the province, even to Lunenburg County, to
commute to jobs there.
Is that not better than the continued out-migration to Alberta? Of course it is.
We can also bring that concept down to another
level. As individuals, we may be able to cheer but
not influence Halifax’s economic success. But what
can we do here in our own backyards?
We can start by broadening our horizons.
When a busload of soon-to-be-displaced Michelin
employees from the Granton plant recently visited
Bridgewater, a group in Mahone Bay recognized the
potential. They joined others putting together packages of information on the area, pitching in to encourage those employees to choose the South Shore
rather than the Waterville plant in the Valley.
Many of us don’t even think about what successful local businesses do for the economy. Consider for
a moment Composites Atlantic and HB Studios in
Lunenburg. The first makes components which are
shipped all over the world for aeronautic, defence
and space markets. The second is an electronic
entertainment company successfully vying in the
highly competitive video games industry.
Those kinds of success stories are happening
right here. They employ people, they attract employees, all of which helps spin the local economy. Their
successes are our successes.
While we’re at it, let’s consider the Lunenburg
County Lifestyle Centre, which some still continue
to see as a financial drain that mostly benefits those
living near it.
Perhaps the LCLC is too far away for a New Germany family to travel there daily to enjoy its amenities. It is more convenient for those who live closer.
But if the beautiful new library or the swimming
pool or the rink helps to attract young families to
the area and those young families contribute to the
economy, we all benefit. If by chance it encourages
a new doctor to come here, that same New Germany
family could benefit directly by finally finding a physician.
Mr. Ivany’s message is clear and can operate on
many levels.
“Parochialism, literally, is like friction, it’s like
sand in the gears, so we put energy in and, because
there’s so much friction in the way we currently
operate, you only get so much power out,” he said
in Lunenburg. “If you remove the friction, the same
amount of energy will produce a greater result.”
We need to put our energy and our thoughts into
positive action.
The world is getting smaller and we must all start
thinking bigger.

Change must be for the better
I
welcome the discussion that has re-emerged on
the subject of municipal reform. I do, however,
hope that the views expressed on the subject will
be based on solid evidence and reliable facts. Mr.
Colwell’s editorial in the April 9, 2014, edition, did
make me pause to wonder whether that criteria had
been used to reach his conclusions.
First, there was no mention of the many and
various services which are presently jointly shared
by the municipalities of the South Shore and have
been for many years. The Yarmouth area is not the
only part of this province which shares services.
For example, for many years the Town of Lunenburg has been sharing services with its neighbours,
which make good sense and are based on solid fiscal
management. I cite the following as a partial list: the
Lunenburg and District Fire Department, regional
policing, South Shore Library, Lunenburg and Area
Electric Commission, water resources, waste water
treatment, solid waste collection with Chester, building inspection and fire inspection, the Regional
Housing Authority, and a variety of recreational facilities which are open for anyone to use.
Secondly, the current mayor of Queens County is
Chris Clarke and not John Leefe.
Thirdly, there was the statement in the editorial
that; “Our region is over-governed and facing a fiscal cliff and those facts are well documented.” I
would ask, “Well documented by whom? And where
can these documented facts be found?”
I have heard many provincial media people deplore the “over-governed ” state of Nova Scotia for
years. In my opinion, if that were the main reason
for Nova Scotia’s current economic woes, then we
should be leading the country in economic development for, in fact, there are fewer municipalities in
Nova Scotia than in any other Canadian province.
Amalgamations both in Nova Scotia and other parts
of the country have been met with mixed reviews.
Rarely have they resulted in reduced costs for the
taxpayers.
The Region of Queens is often cited as an example of a success story as far as amalgamation
is concerned. It was a process that was achieved
willingly and seems to work well for the people of
that municipality. Their leadership past and present
has been strong in achieving good results and more
power to them.
However, in any proposed amalgamation people
will want an answer to one simple question: “How
will it impact my property tax bill?” As I considered
that question, I compared the home I live in with one
of similar assessed value in Liverpool. My property
taxes in Lunenburg last year were $2,051. A home of
equal assessed value in Liverpool would have resulted in a property tax bill of $2,967. On considering
what amalgamation would mean, I believe that each
property owner has to determine what the benefits
would be.
My re-reading of the April 9 editorial on this subject raises another question I would like answered
before we plow ahead. I would like a more detailed
explanation of Mr. Colwell’s comment that, among
other things, for Queens County the merger will,
“Lower taxes despite drastic budget increases for
many years afterwards.” If that statement is true,
I think the way to achieve it should be shared with
the rest of the country, for it would be a wonderful
help for all orders of government to learn how to
lower taxes, while drastically increasing costs.
I believe that we need to change as long as we
change for the better, so it is good to discuss these
important issues, for which there may be no simple
answers. But as we do so, I also believe we must
strive to be accurate in the facts upon which we base
our conclusions.

We need responsible
representative government
A
s tax-paying voters, each of us pays $16.76
a year for Parliament, only $2.03 of which
is for MP salaries. Parliament manages a
budget of $7,767 in taxes per voter, in an economy
of $54,934 (GDP) per voter. Obviously the cost of
Parliament is peanuts — not much more than a cup
of Tim Hortons per voter is spent each year on their
being represented. On top of that, representation is
in groups of one representative per 77,830 voters on
average.
For Canada’s responsible representative parliamentary democracy to work, the government must
be responsible to the elected representatives of the
people and hold their confidence. When our MPs
represent us in name only, then we have responsible
government in name only.
This is why prime ministers can get away with
showing contempt for Parliament, the Supreme
Court and the Constitution. It’s why the minister of
state for democratic reform can take away our voting rights and no one can effectively stop him.
There cannot be responsible government in a
representative democracy unless the people are effectively represented in Parliament and, in Canada
today, people are not effectively represented. Not
when most of the votes cast are against the representative chosen.
If we are to keep direct representation in each
constituency, the only way to achieve a more proportional representation of the will of the constituency
is to increase the number of representatives from
the constituency.
I don’t argue that we need more MPs; however,
the election of local constituency representatives,
with the power to influence the MP at the will of the
people they closely and democratically represent,
would be a strong reform.
The existence of constituency representatives
would animate responsible representative government, would balance the power of the prime minister to manipulate Parliament, and would balance the
power of special interests to manipulate the electorate, among many other beneficial effects. Such a
system would change the expression of power in the
house, for the betterment of democracy.
Canada would become a responsible representative democracy in fact, as well as in name, because
“the people” would have more active power through
their representation. This sort of consensus democracy, instead of our current majoritarian system,
Disagrees with
transit analysis
I
respond, on behalf of Citizens for Public Transit
(CPT), to the letter entitled “Hold the Bus” from
John Harley published April 2. We appreciate his
interest in public transit but must correct his faulty
analysis.
Mr. Harley has applied the cost for a year to the
use for a day, with obviously incorrect conclusions.
The cost table he used can be viewed at www.transitlunenburg.ca — “Making Connections,” along
with the assumptions made in its preparation. This
table assumes two buses in service with ridership
rising to 110 rides per bus per day in the fifth year
of operation, or 64,200 rides per year, at a net cost of
$253,790. This equates to a subsidy cost of $3.95 per
ride, not $12,749 per rider as stated by Mr. Harley.
Serving Bridgewater, Lunenburg, Mahone Bay
and those citizens of the Municipality of Lunenburg living along the route, the proposed service
would be accessible to more than 10,000 people. This
is about 40 per cent of the population of the Municipality of Lunenburg, not a “tiny fraction” of the
population of Lunenburg County.
Yes, users will have to walk to the bus, typically
less than one-half of a kilometre. This is normal for
fixed-route bus systems and quite in keeping with
“active transportation” as strongly promoted by our
municipal governments.
A dial-a-ride system, as preferred by Mr. Harley,
can be a valuable adjunct to a fixed-route system,
but its cost per ride is significantly higher.
Mr. Harley would be most welcome to attend the
public annual general meeting of Citizens for Public
Transit to be held at the Mahone Bay Legion hall on
May 28 at 7 p.m.

has been shown, throughout the world over several
decades, to be very much more effective at managing
democracy, and at least as good and almost certainly
better at managing an economy, so the minimal extra
cost would be offset by better government and a better, more stable economy.
It’s important to remember that consensus democracies are better at what Canada was built upon —
government of and by diversity.

Leave the parking
meters alone
F
rom recent media information, it appears
Lunenburgers will soon be faced with having
to add to town revenue through parking meters. I feel that my objection should be added to those
objecting, on the following grounds.
Everywhere I have lived before retiring here, my
mail has arrived at the front door or close to it. Soon
now, I will have to drive downtown and add to the
town revenue through the parking meters just to get
my mail. This could encourage residents to shop elsewhere, such as Bridgewater, where only a few meters
exist in busy areas, or Mahone Bay, where they are
remarkable by their absence.
We do pay maybe the highest municipal taxes in
the Maritimes to which should be added our sewer
taxes, as well as a water supply and treatment plant
that pumps us muddy domestic water. But a big
thank-you indeed to the town’s electric department
that somehow got us through last winter without outages.
We certainly could do without this extra parking tax. I have pension income to assist, but please
consider the widows who shudder when they see the
furnace oil truck coming down the road and everyone hit by inflation. I suggest the meters be left as
is, on an honour system, or get the result at the next
election.

Dial-a-ride is not
public transportation
D
espite the claims in the April 9 edition of this
paper, a dial-a-ride van is not public transportation.
If a car-owning non-senior has to leave his or her
car in Bridgewater for repairs, are they likely to call
dial-a-ride for a lift home to Lunenburg or Mahone
Bay? No. If tourists staying in the Town of Lunenburg want to attend a festival in Mahone Bay, but
they don’t want to deal with parking a car there and
they don’t want to walk one or both ways, can they
call dial-a-ride and get a lift that day? No. If a car-less
high school student wants to go into Bridgewater
from Mahone Bay for the day but no one can drive
him, is he apt to call dial-a-ride? No. If someone simply wants to avoid using a personal vehicle or taxi for
environmental reasons, is dial-a-ride the solution?
No. If a senior citizen decides, on the spur of the moment, to head into town for some shopping and visiting, can she be assured of a ride within an hour or
two? No.
Would all of the people above be able to use a public, fixed-route bus. Yes.
Dial-a-ride programs are wonderful for providing
personalized transportation access to some members
of society, but those programs are not public transportation. The ridership on a dial-a-ride van is not an
accurate reflection of those who would use a fixedroute bus.

New predator on the
block
T
he economic food chain has a new predator
and this animal is invasive and very, very
hungry.
Sometimes confused with its ancestor “Rink,”
the LCLC, as it’s known, has a voracious appetite to
consume huge portions of existing municipal budget
allocations resulting in the slow starvation and eventual extinction of many of its competitive species.
Move over fine arts venue, lower taxes and repaved roads — there is a new kid on the block and it’s
coming after your wallet and your purse.

Time for municipal
leaders to step up
T
he recent editorial by Stacey Colwell in the
Progress Bulletin of April 9, 2014, titled “Municipal reform can wait no longer,” was a
breath of fresh air and an excellent editorial. The
next step is for municipal leaders in Lunenburg
County to jump on board and lead the review of municipal government, which must include the possibility of amalgamation.
On April 10, 2014, on CKBW, the mayor for the
Town of Bridgewater was the first municipal politician to express his views on municipal reform, including amalgamation. Good for him.
As Mr.Colwell states in his editorial, in Lunenburg County we have five municipal governments, 36
councillors, one warden and four mayors. Clearly, we
are over-governed and we must stop the talking and
start the planning for municipal reform. The establishing of boards such as the Joint Services Board to
manage solid waste is clearly not enough to provide
the efficiencies to help reduce expenditures that the
residents of Lunenburg County deserve. We have a
declining and aging population in Lunenburg County
that simply cannot continue to afford the level of governance that presently exists.
However, amalgamation or increased shared services need to be implemented with a solid financial
plan that will result in a more efficient and costeffective form of government for the taxpayers of
Lunenburg County. As a former municipal councillor and also one who experienced the amalgamation
of school boards in 1996 in southwest Nova Scotia,
which created an interim board of 54 members, we
must learn by these failures. This amalgamation was
to save $11 million and actually increased costs and
eventually resulted in the division of the board into
two regional boards.
It is clear that the present provincial government
will not lead municipal reform, as stated by the minister of municipal affairs, but only support them.
Therefore, municipal leaders in Lunenburg County
need to step up to the plate and lead.

Dog adoption rates ‘awesome’
at Whynotts Settlement
animal shelter
By KEITH CORCORAN
kcorcoran@southshorenow.ca
WHYNOTTS SETTLEMENT —
Times aren’t “ruff ” at a shelter that
looks after the welfare of domestic
animals, but fleeting signs of Fidos
are making the public wonder who
let the dogs out.
As of mid-week last week, anyone looking to adopt pooches at
the SHAID Tree Animal Shelter in
Whynotts Settlement are out of luck.
“It’s a good problem to have, not
having dogs,” said Danny Lohnes,
president of the shelter society’s
board of directors.
That’s because the turnover rate
for dog adoptions “has been awesome,” the shelter’s manager Harold
Rowsell explained.
Commonly, the Mullock Road facility’s 10 dog cages are housing seven
or eight animals and the shelter
would see sporadic adoptions taking place. But recently the cages are
unusually empty and Mr. Rowsell
can only theorize that perhaps public
messages surrounding responsible
pet ownership, such as the heightened awareness surrounding tethering and the dangers of leaving dogs
in vehicles on hot days, are resonating with people.
It’s about the third time in the last
few months the cages have been dogfree. The public’s taking notice.
“They say, ‘That’s awesome.’ And
it is,” Mr. Rowsell said. “People think
it’s great. I think it’s great.”
Representatives of other animal
welfare organizations have also discovered they’re finding fewer Lunen-

50 cats taking up residence at the
shelter, including nearly two dozen
currently in routine quarantine and
ready to step into either the “playpen” room, kitten room or one of
the empty cages available. Although
there are steady cat adoptions, Mr.
Rowsell said, a bottleneck remains.
“I don’t think we’ll never have
cats,” he said.
Considering the spring season,
there’s an expectation that the shelter will be bombarded with kittens.
Social media has helped in terms
of adoptions concerning both cats
and dogs. Crisp on-line images capturing the personality of the animal can result in an adoption within
days. It’s raised the profile of both
the shelter and its animals, Mr. Rowsell suggested.
The SHAID Tree Animal Shelter
Society is setting their sights on developing a new stand-alone building
on the property that will largely be
used to quarantine animals before
they’re available for adoptions. Plans
for the structure are being drawn up
and it’s hoped the project can start
this year.

Elder abuse
allegations put off
By LISA BROWN
lbrown@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY — Allegations that a woman
physically abused a senior while supposedly providing her home care have been
put off until next month.
Dolores Blanche Labinowicz wasn’t in
Bridgewater provincial court for her arraignment April 9. Instead, a Nova Scotia
Legal Aid lawyer appeared on her behalf
and asked to have the case adjourned
until May 7.
Josh Nodelman told Judge Gregory
Lenehan he hadn’t yet received Crown
disclosure and would then need time to
review it with his client.
Ms Labinowicz, 59, is charged with assault and forcible confinement between
December 1 and February 25.
Police allege she abused an 81-year-old
woman while acting as her caregiver in
the senior’s Blue Rocks home.
The senior sustained minor injuries
and has since been placed in a long-term
care facility.
BRIDGEWATER — A woman
tracked down by police through social
media is now on probation after being
sentenced on charges dating back to
2007.
Buffena Rose Iyoupe, 45, admitted
breaching probation and skipping
court when she appeared in Bridgewater provincial court April 9.
She’d been placed on probation back
in 2006, but then failed to report in
June 2007.
She was charged with a second probation breach in 2008 for failing to pay
$550 restitution to a woman in connection with a theft.
Ms Iyoupe then skipped her court
date in June 2009 and “was in the
wind,” Crown attorney Lloyd Tancock
said, until earlier this year.
Bridgewater Police posted a gallery of photos of people wanted on
outstanding warrants on the department’s Facebook page on January 9.
That same day Ms Iyoupe contacted
the police agreeing to deal with her old
charges and they removed her photo.
Last week, legal aid lawyer Josh
Nodelman said his client was moving between counties during that period of her life, but admits she wasn’t
“diligent” about her obligations to the
court.
Judge Gregory Lenehan sentenced
her to a day in custody deemed served
by her court appearance on the probation breaches.
For skipping court in 2009, he placed
her on probation for 15 months as part
of a suspended sentence.
“People should not be benefiting
from failure to report as they are
required to do and failure to attend
court,” Judge Lenehan said.

Shoreham residents
enjoy interaction
with teens
Story and photos by LEENA ALI
lali@southshorenow.ca
R
esidents at the Shoreham Village seniors’ home always
look forward to Tuesdays.
It’s the day Grade 9 students
from Chester Area Middle School come to
hang out, make crafts, play games and share
stories.
“They love the young people. They have
lots of family that come in, but they don’t
have a lot of young people that come in and
visit,” says Linda Bell, director of recreation
and volunteer services at the Chester seniors’
home.
“So, I just contacted the middle school
because we’re so close that they can walk
through the woods and get here,” she says.
About six years ago, Ms Bell and the school’s
guidance counsellor, Teri Cochrane, coordinated the program, which is only open to Grade
9 students.
The students volunteer at Shoreham Village
every Tuesday morning, starting in late September until June.
There’s been so much interest generated in the
program that there are two alternating groups of
about 16 students each week. Over the years, students
have become familiar with the program, even before
they reach Grade 9.
“When I walk into a Grade 9 class, they tell me what
it’s about. They’ve heard about it from their peers, they
understand what’s happening and they already want to
do it. They’ll ask me ‘when are we starting?’” says Ms
Cochrane.
Prior to volunteering, the students receive about two
hours of training to give them a better idea of what to
expect when they get to the home.
They learn about dementia, activities at the seniors’
home, the importance of hand sanitizer and how to use
wheelchairs.
“A lot of them have never been around the frail elderly. They’re communicating with people in their 80s,
90s. I think it’s a learning experience for them, because a
lot of them would never get into a facility like this unless
they had great-grandparents here,” says Ms Bell.
“I like helping them, it’s fun,” says Madeline Bond,
who adds that time volunteering at Shoreham Village
have sparked her interest to pursue working at a nursing
home when she’s older.
“It’s a bit of experience already,” she says.
For Grade 9 student Yolanda Fader, it’s all about the
smiles.
“I’ve been volunteering since I was little with my
Nanny and Poppy. I like bringing smiles to people’s
faces,” she says, as she makes crafts with 92-year-old
Above: Audrey Somerville, left. and Yolanda Fader

Audrey Somerville.
“I think it’s very uplifting,
particularly because I was
a school teacher. I love to see
young people,” says Ms Somerville.
The weekly visits are also a
chance for students and residents to share stories. Some
residents will tell stories about
serving in the war and others
may talk about the days when
they taught in a one-room
schoolhouse.
“Until they’re there and
visit with the residents, I don’t
think they really realize that they have great lives. They
did exciting things … they contributed a lot to life. So I
think it’s good that they know that, they’re not just an
older person in a nursing home, that they still have a lot
to offer,” says Ms Bell.
The program is purely volunteer and the students
don’t receive a credit, meaning they need to commit and
make sure they’re not missing out academically. The
teachers give them permission to leave class for an hour
on Tuesdays and, in return, the students are responsible
for making up the work they’ve missed.
“I think it’s very important for young students to
develop an appreciation for volunteering and also for
them to develop an appreciation of the elderly in our
community. They have a lot of wisdom to share.” says
Ms Cochrane.
“It allows them to develop their own empathy, their
own interpersonal skills when they interact with seniors,” she adds.
Next year, Grade 9s will not longer be part of Chester
Area Middle School and will join Forest Heights Community School.
They hope the program will continue, but this time
with Grade 8 students.
“That’s one thing I feel so good about. If [there’s]
one thing that I can say made a difference, it’s that program,” says Ms Bell.

NSCC students to volunteer
in Costa Rica
BY LEENA ALI
lali@southshorenow.c
BRIDGEWATER — A small group of
Nova Scotia Community College students
are taking their on-the-job training out of
the country this summer.
Three first-year students are heading
to Costa Rica to help with sea turtle
conservation. And they’re some of the
first students in their program to leave
Canada for a work-term.
“To have the opportunity to go overseas and to try to make a difference over
there, I think is really fantastic. We get to
learn their culture and we get to be submerged into everything,” says Morgan
Mills, who will be travelling with Kelsey
Martin and Karina Jeddry.
They’re part of the Natural Resources
Environmental Technology program at
the Bridgewater campus and will volunteer abroad through an organization
called GoEco.
The students will spend the first week
getting Spanish lessons and the three
weeks after that building hatcheries
along the Caribbean coast near Limon.
To add to the adventure, they’ll be staying
in an area north of Limon which has no
electricity.
Costa Rica is known for having a large
variety of sea turtles and large nesting
areas along its coast. However, the sea
turtles are at risk due to human poachers,
predators and beach erosion.
“We’re going to take the eggs into the
hatcheries that we make so that they have
a better life expectancy and that there’s
bigger numbers in their populations,”
says Ms Martin.
Other than collecting eggs, the stu-
dents will be monitoring, researching,
patrolling and building the hatcheries,
as well as rescuing the turtles. They’ll
mainly work with leatherback sea turtles
during their stay in June.
Their instructor, Andrew Ross, says
he’s been hearing them practice Spanish
in the hallways.
“I’d love to join them,” he laughs.
He says part of the program is learning about species at risk here in Nova
Scotia, adding it’s great that students can
“gain interest locally and then go internationally.”
“We’re going to learn skills that we can
bring back here … and be able to help out
the animals that are in our province too,”
says Ms Martin.
The group will fly off for their fourweek adventure on May 31 and start Spanish lessons on June 3. All of what they
accomplish will be done voluntarily with
no guaranteed job placement afterwards.
“I’ve just always been really interested
in environmental issues, so global warming, extinction of animals and just being
part of this, I can do my part even though
it’s maybe just small. I can still do my
part,” says Ms Jeddry.
Right now, the students are paying for
the trip out of their own pockets, but are
looking for donations to support their
travels.
“We’re raffling off stuff, getting donations and we’re also thinking about doing
the bagging at grocery stores,” says Ms
Martin.

COUNTY — Lunenburg municipal
council approved the proposed 2014-15
capital program and operating plan for
the Municipal Joint Services Board at a
meeting April 8 in Bridgewater.
The joint services board approved
the budget on March 27, and two of the
three councils have to approve it as per
the inter-municipal agreement.
Acting chief operating officer of the
board Siew Secord presented the proposed budget to council, predicting a
balanced budget for 2014-15 since the
forecast for 2013-14 predicts nearly a
half-million dollar surplus.
The capital budget will include a retrofit of the compost facility, which may
be postponed, and a new front-end loader at an estimated cost of $160,000 each.
Also included are funds for a new allterrain vehicle, a compactor cylinder
and paving at the waste facility.
The capital budget will see $445,000
in spending with financing from the
capital reserve, the operational budget
and other sources.
Tipping fees per metric tonne will
be reduced for all waste items except
septic.

Luedecke’s fifth following up “My Hands

was released in 2010, 2008’s “Proof of
Love,” 2006’s “Hinterland,” and his debut
album, “Mole In The Ground,” which he
recorded in 2003.
For this most recent effort, Mr. Luedecke surrounded himself with the
top players in folk and bluegrass music,
including Mr. O’Brien who is a multiinstrumentalist, bassist Mike Bub and
drummer Kenny Malone.
“The songs are about a variety of topics. A meditation on art and ambition
is present in a lot of what I do. Art and
whether there is spiritual success without worldly success, that’s at the heart
of ‘Tender Is The Night,’” Mr. Luedecke
said.
He said songs on the album are about
reassurance and “the only way I can reassure myself is writing uniquely and successfully as possible.
“Pop songs are all about how things are
going to be okay, music should make you
feel good,” he added.
Heather Gibson, chairperson of the
ECMAs board of directors, congratulated
all the winners, saying this year’s crop

“Music is not just an important part of

been awarded to St. John’s, Newfoundland, and will be held April 8 to 12.

Dave Cleveland of Bridgewater turned his 30-year penny collection into a piece of art. The
“penny window” holds 7,782 coins.
Penny collector turns spare
change into art
BY LEENA ALI
lali@southshorenow.ca
The Canadian penny may no longer be
in distribution but, for some, the copper
coin lives on.
Dave Cleveland of Bridgewater began
collecting pennies about 30 years ago.
He would toss them in a barrel until it
weighed about 200 pounds.
He’s not sure why he started collecting, but he ended up with 63,717 pennies.
Many wondered what he planned to do
with all of that spare change.
“I became curious about all the different years I might have so I started sorting
them,” he says.
And 130 hours later the pennies were
sorted by year, ranging from 1930 to 2012.
“Some people think I’m crazy. I don’t
know, could be,” he laughs.
“After I had them all sorted, I tried to
think of what I would do with them and I
had a brainstorm about this window so I
designed it and then I built it.”
He turned what many would think
of as a nuisance, into a work of art — a
“penny window,” as he calls it.
The structure is similar to a shelf with
tubes of pennies throughout the wood.
He filled 10 plastic tubes with coins and
placed them throughout the middle of the
shelf, in the shape of a tree.
“[In] some of the earlier years, there’s
only one or two pennies. I kept a list of
the years that are in each tube,” he says.
Most of the pennies in his collection
were from 1989 — 3,331 pennies, to be
exact.
“One of the oldest pennies I found was
a 1912 American penny. I looked it up online and they made over two billion of
them in 1912. In 1912, a cent was like five
dollars today.”
The penny window holds 7,782 coins.
“As far as face value is concerned, it’s
$77.82,” he says.
“It was just an inspiration and I built
it.”

Town gives first reading to altered encroachment bylaw
Old licences
couldn’t be
transferred to
new owners
By ROBERT HIRTLE
rhirtle@southshorenow.ca
LUNENBURG — Lunenburg council has given first reading of
proposed amendments to the town’s encroachment bylaw.
In a report to council, town manager Bea Renton said that by
design, the bylaw is restricted to allow for building entrance encroachments to meet National Building and Fire Code requirements.
However, it does not allow existing encroachment licences,
approved by council before the bylaw adoption, to be transferred to
new property owners.
Such encroachments could include front gardens, decks and larger
front entrances than are required by the National Fire and Building
Codes, which may not be allowable under the existing bylaw that went
into effect on May 16, 2012.
“This matter came to light after the new bylaw was adopted and
property sales occurred for which there was an encroachment licence
for a larger than code required front entrance, garden, etc.,” Ms Renton wrote in her report. “The town solicitor advised the encroachment
licence could not be transferred to the new owner because the new
bylaw would not allow for this.
“If there is no mechanism in the bylaw to allow these pre-existing
encroachment licences to be transferred to the new owner, and the
encroachments are not removed, the new owners may not be liable for
any loss of damage caused by the encroachment … whereas, under
the original encroachment licence they would have been held responsible.”
As the bylaw now stands, the town assumes responsibility for any
loss or injury that may arise as a result of the encroachment, unless
the encroachment licence can be transferred.
Public submissions are welcome on the proposed changes prior
to council’s next regular meeting on April 22, at which time second
and final reading of the proposed amendments is scheduled to take
place.

Notes from the Bridgewater
Photographic Society
Members of the Bridgewater Photo
Club were welcomed to the April 8 meeting by their president, Sara Harley. Several from the club had been on a field
trip to the Dublin Shore wharf, Bush
Island wharf and Little Harbour wharf
last month. A slide show of images
taken — coastal scenes, details of weather-worn buildings, fishing equipment
— were shown.
The competition was the sight and
sound essays. A high quality of work
was evident in these musical slide
shows which included themes such as
winter, the Folk Harbour Festival, a
country fair, Cuba and the architecture
of cathedrals in England.

On Monday, Lee and Judi Hiltz drove
to Bridgewater to watch Rebecca and
Colin Snyder take part with a number
of schools participating in a choir competition at the Bridgewater Elementary
School. They did very well and came in
second. On Tuesday, we picked up our
granddaughter, Rebecca, to participate in
the solo part of the competition. She got
an 85 for a score and was right up there
with the top winners.
On Thursday, Lee and Judi Hiltz had
a visit from Lee’s brother, Roger, and Pat
and Anne Hiltz. Lee was very glad to see
them, because he got his baby going LOL.
Lee’s tractor conked out about a week ago
and he really missed it. We also had to
have a few games of 45s, of course. Everyone got a game and two of us got two, so
no real bragging rights there.
Please mark April 26 on your calendar,
as that will be the day when a memorial
45s tournament will be held at our hall
for Grover Fancy. He passed away suddenly in October. There is going to be a
plaque with his name on it at the hall and
I believe that the monies will go to his
children to help pay for his headstone.
There will a lunch served and it all starts
at 10 a.m.
Sincere sympathy is extended to the
family and friends of the late Sheldon
Mailman, Springfield, who passed away
suddenly this week.
Also, sympathy to the many family
and friends of the late Francis Keddy of
the Forties. If she would have lived until
July of this year, she would have been 100
years old.

Olympians to Bridgewater
By LUKE KENNY
lkenny@southshorenow.ca
Athletes, coaches and presenters gathered at the HB Studio Sports Centre in
Bridgewater for the Spring Sport and
Athletic Conference April 11 to 13.
The three-day event featured presentations and technical sessions for coaches,
athletes and parents by local, national
and international presenters.
The focus was on speed, power and
agility development, and practical sessions including off-ice hockey conditioning, track and field specific event technical sessions. and testing tools for athletic
performance.
Tanya Daniels is the head coach of the
Bluenose Athletic Club and a national
junior coach who was instrumental in
bringing the conference to Bridgewater.
The idea for it started in the fall when
the manager of the fieldhouse approached
her about putting on a track symposium.
“I took on the idea and wanted to make
it more of an athlete symposium to teach
the fundamentals of speed, power and
agility to adolescent athletes,” she said.
“The main goal of our conversations
were about long-term athletic development, the progression of that and what it
should look like, and the fundamentals of
speed work and agility. Within their sessions, they are trying to break that down
for people who are attending.”
Of the eight presenters, six were national or international athletes, including
four former Olympians.
“I’ve taken a lot of time to go internationally to work as a coach and these are
the people I network with that I’ve gained
a lot from,” Ms Daniels said.
Tony Sharpe was a bronze medallist

and he coaches the Canadian junior team
with Ms Daniels.
He said this weekend was about exposing these kids and coaches to some different ideas they can take back to their
groups and help facilitate the growth of
track and field in the province.
“There are not a tonne of resources
or facilities here, but with the right information maybe we can impact a few
kids to continue in track and field and
continue developing the sports at a grassroots level.”
The presenters were well received and
it was a great weekend, Mr. Sharpe said.
“We exchanged a lot of good information, kids responded well …. I really
enjoyed it and I thought the coaches and
athletes really responded very well. It’s
nice to get out to this side of the country.”
Ernest Wiggins of Florida was on the
4x100 metre reserve team for the United
States in at the Olympic Games in Athens
in 2004 and has raced against the likes of
Usain Bolt.
He said a lot of athletes in this part of
Canada aren’t exposed to the high level
of training as they would be in Toronto
or Montreal.
“We came here to teach them those
advanced stages, as well as the coaches.
Techniques always change. The strategy
of coaching always changes.”
Mr. Wiggins really loved the opportunity to come up here because it gives athletes and coaches a visual of what’s new
and what works.
“I showed them simple techniques
using simple equipment to get the most
out of it. It has been a great opportunity
for these athletes and myself.”
Former Blue Jay bringing
baseball camp to Bridgewater
By STACEY COLWELL
scolwell@southshorenow.ca
Former Toronto Blue Jays star Kelly
Gruber is bringing his Silver Slugger
baseball camps to Bridgewater this
summer.
“This year the dates seemed to work
out with our camps in Halifax being the
following week,” said Doug Jones, who
directs the cross-country Kelly Gruber
baseball camps and who has been impressed by the development of the sport
in this area.
“It seemed like a great fit for us to
come and help develop the kids.”
The core members of Bridgewater’s
bantam baseball team have collectively won a handful of high-performance
provincial titles since 2009, along with
eastern Canadian and Atlantic championships.
In recent years the camps have visited towns such as New Glasgow, Yarmouth and Kentville.
The July 3 and 4 event is expected
to include Mr. Gruber and former Big
∂
Leaguers Scott Bullett and Bill “Spaceman” Lee.
“We are very excited to visit Bridgewater this summer,” said Mr. Gruber in
a release.
“The reputation of the minor baseball program and the success of their
rep programs makes this an ideal location.”
The camps are for players ages 8 to
18 and are designed to foster a love of
the game and to have coaches share
their passion and experience with the
participants.
Kelly Gruber was a two-time all-star,
won Gold Glove and Silver Slugger
awards, and was a member of the Blue
Jays 1992 world championship team.
Bill Lee was a left-handed pitcher
with a colourful personality who is a
member of the Boston Red Sox hall of
fame and has written four books.
Scott Bullet played four seasons with
the Pirates and Expos and currently
runs the Bullettproff Baseball Academy
and the Fergie Jenkins Elite Baseball
League in Ontario.

Cheerleading teams from seven

Therapeutic gardening program
being launched in Blockhouse
By LEENA ALI

BLOCKHOUSE — Hinchinbrook Farm Society and the Mahone Bay Farmers’ Market are teaming up to launch a therapeutic gardening program for autistic and special needs children.
We Dig Food aims to teach children how to grow their own
food, while helping them with awareness and social interaction.
“Gardening in itself can be very therapeutic for anybody, but
especially for these kids and their families because it involves
all of their senses,” says market manager and project coordinator, Meredith Bell.
The South Shore Social Ventures Co-op has given the team
access to the playground at the old Blockhouse school to create
community gardens. The old school is also home to the farmers’
market.
The participants will plant vegetables and herbs and take
care of them as they grow. Later on, they can bring the food they
grow to the market.
Hinchinbrook Farm is within walking distance of the school
and offers therapeutic riding services, including a program
called Horse Boy for autistic children and youth.
Riding offers physical therapy, special education and adapted
recreation. It helps participants build confidence and increase
social interaction, and also aids in many
other areas, such as mobility, muscle tone
and body awareness.
A favourite activity at the farm is riding to the school through the woods. In†
teracting in a natural setting helps with
sensory awareness as participants can
hear the sounds as they ride over the pea
gravel and see their reflections in the
school windows.
Director of the farm, Patricia McGill,

BUSINESS
From creative talent to successful business
By LEENA ALI
lali@southshorenow.ca
Mélanie Fontaine wasn’t looking to
start a business, but when a great idea
blossomed, she couldn’t ignore it.
It all started when she made her first
hat and wore it during a night out with
friends.
“That night I got so many compliments,” says Ms Fontaine.
That got her thinking. She began making hats for friends and eventually found
opportunities to sell her work at boutiques and music festivals.
Now, her cozy studio on Heckmans
Island is home to “Méversible,” a line
of handmade, reversible hats, as well as
headbands and leggings.
“I was always really creative with fabrics and I really like all of the textures
and patterns,” she says.
She’s a self-taught hat maker who
started sewing at a young age. She grew
up with her mom making all of her
dresses.
“I don’t know if that influenced me
or not …. It was more like in my teenage years when I wanted to have my own
little style. I started fooling around with
the sewing machine and making my long
hippie dresses,” she laughs.
Originally from Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac,
Quebec, Ms Fontaine moved to the South
Shore about seven years ago, around the
same time she began her business.
It was after an 11-day music festival in
Montreal, called Les FrancoFolies, that
she started to see the potential in her
product.

Clarice Barbara Wile
It is with heavy hearts that the family
announces the passing of Clarice
Barbara Wile on March 23, 2014, at
home in Wileville, surrounded by her
family. Born in Laconia, Lunenburg
County, on August 2, 1926, she was
the only child of the late Spurgeon
and Bernice (Deal) Feener.
She was a graduate of the Nova
Scotia Normal College and taught
throughout Lunenburg County. She
married Bernard Wile and made a life
on the family farm. She loved music
and received formal training in voice
and piano and was always willing to
share her musical gifts with the community. She helped organize music programs and curriculum in Newcombville
Elementary School and taught there for 12 years. She was an active member of
the Bridgewater Baptist Church and took great pride in working with church
choirs. Over the years she directed the Junior, Senior and Men’s Choir and served
as organist at the church. She was a founding member of the South Shore
Chorale. She gave private voice and piano lessons to anyone who loved music
and wanted to learn. She was committed to her community and served on the
Lunenburg County School Board, the board of Hillside Pines, the Bridgewater and
Area Music Festival, and both county and provincial 4-H organizations. She loved
exhibitions and was instrumental in developing the craft competition and the
Craft Barn at the South Shore Exhibition. She trained to be a Class 1 Craft Judge
and travelled to many exhibitions throughout Nova Scotia. She was an avid gardener and a regular flower exhibiter at the South Shore Exhibition.
Clarice is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, Bernard; daughters, Rose
Marie (Charles Blais), Jocelyn (Jackie Zwicker); son, Peter (Elspeth McLean). Also
surviving are her grandchildren, Dominique Blais (Adam Slauenwhite) and
Brenden Zwicker.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to C.F. Sweeny’s Funeral Home,

Saturday, March 29, in Bridgewater Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Brian MacArthur officiating, a reception followed in the church hall. Family flowers only. Donations
were made to the South Shore Health Palliative Care Services, Lunenburg County
VON, or the Bridgewater Baptist Church. On-line condolences may be made by
visiting http://www.sweenysfuneralhome.com.
CARD OF THANKS
The family of the late Clarice Barbara Wile would like to thank all those who
gave their time, patience and assistance during her long illness. Special thanks
goes out to Dr. Purdy for improving the quality of the last three years of Clarice’s
life and for being only a phone call away if her advice was needed. Thank you to
the Palliative care program and VON for making Clarice’s last days at home comfortable; Nolene, Bonnie and Dr. Abriel were only a phone call away. The family
would like to thank Debbie Corkum for the past eight years (in the winter
months) as Clarice’s constant companion and for being indispensable during the
last two weeks of her life. They were such good friends and we are so thankful
that she was there for Mom.
Thank you to the Rev. MacArthur and Rev. Ott for being helpful and kind during
this very difficult time for the family. Thank you to Clarice’s granddaughter,
Dominique Blais for the singing to “Grammie’ one last time; it took great
strength and professionalism. Thank you to Clarice’s musical friends (Debbie
Zwicker, Sharon Gow-Knickle, and the combined choirs of St. Paul’s Lutheran
Church and the Bridgewater Baptist Church) for providing the music that she
loved so much on the day of her funeral. It was greatly appreciated by the family.
Thank you to Baptist Women’s Group for providing the food for the reception
after the funeral. Many thanks to everyone who shared condolences and spent
time with the family; it provided great comfort to them at this very difficult time.
Clarice’s smile, her love and good faith in others will always be remembered.
The Wile family.

opened wide
And now, you will never
be alone.

Snow blown
Reserve funds help ease winter budget bite
By ROBERT HIRTLE
rhirtle@southshorenow.ca
LUNENBURG — As Lunenburgers
of days gone by might have described
it, this has been one “hard old winter.”
In fact, it has been many years since
the town has spent as much money on
snow and ice removal as it has over the
past six months.
While anything is possible with the
weather and we may yet get more snow,
town finance and accounting director
Elana Wentzell reported to council on
April 8 what she, and others, hope will
be the final tally for the 2013-14 winter
clean-up.
Last year, staff and council budgeted
a total of $106,500 for winter clean-ups,
based on average costs experienced
over the past several years.
As of last week, the actual figure
spent on winter maintenance stood
at just over $143,000, or $36,599 over
budget.
Thanks to bookkeeping foresight,
however, the financial sting isn’t nearly as bad as it could have been.
The town held in reserve unspent
monies budgeted for snow removal
from previous, less severe winters, an
amount that totalled $31,865, leaving
the net shortfall at $4,734, assuming no
more snow will fall this spring before
the end of the town’s fiscal year.
“We obviously realized that it is a
good thing to keep reserves in the years
that we don’t have a high snow removal
budget … so that we can cover off these
strange years,” Ms Wentzell said.

Raising awareness of sexual assault
Program funding a step forward, says coordinator
By LUKE KENNY
lkenny@southshorenow.ca
COUNTY — It’s a tough subject to address, but it is
one that needs to be discussed publicly.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Nova
Scotia and the province brought Jackson Katz to Nova
Scotia, who spoke in Bridgewater March 25, to kick off
the month a week early.
It should be every month, says Dianne Crowell, the coordinator of a project that Second Story Women’s Centre
in Lunenburg has taken on as result of a provincial
initiative to create services for victims of sexual assault
and violence across the province.
“I do applaud the effort. I think it’s good for the province to take it on and put it out in the forefront, so that
more people are talking about the situation, more people
are doing something about the situation and, most importantly, more people who are suffering from sexual
violence are able to find their voice and come forward
and get help.”
It’s an important issue because of the silence surrounding it, she said.
“People are afraid to come forward for many reasons.
It could be a family member. I think it’s highly impor-
tant to bring more visibility to this issue so that more capacity around sexual assault awareness and public

COSMOS: A SPACETIME ODYSSEY
Sunday, April 20, 2014
Fox
Fox is currently airing a series follow-up that definitely warrants its second time
in the sun. “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” is a scientific documentary offshoot
of the 1980 Emmy Award-winning series “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage,” which
was presented by astronomer, astrophysicist and cosmologist Carl Sagan. The new
series premiered March 9, with a new episode airing Sunday, April 20, on Fox.

FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES
Monday, April 21, CBS, Citytv
Tune in to a new episode of this new comedy series, “Friends
With Better Lives,” airing Monday, Apr. 21 on CBS and Citytv. The
show follows the lives of six best friends -- all are at different
places in their lives, and all feel that the others have it better.
James Van Der Beek, Brooklyn Decker and Kevin Connolly star in
this series, which CBS hopes will fill the void left by ratings juggernaut “How I Met Your Mother.”
Everyone’s favourite
fairytale characters
continue to battle the
evils that threaten their
home and loved ones
in a new episode of
“Once Upon a Time,”
airing Sunday, Apr. 20,
on ABC and CTV. Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison star in
this fantastical, familyfriendly drama, and this
season has seen the
addition of characters
such as Robin Hood
(Sean Maguire) and
Ariel (Joanna Garcia
Swisher).
