RCMP Cst. David Wynn
dies in the line of duty

A former EHS paramedic in Bridgewater, who joined
the RCMP six years ago died in an Edmonton hospital
on January 21, four days after being shot in the head at
close range by a lone gunman.
Cst. David Wynn was seriously wounded while investigating a report of a stolen vehicle in St. Albert,
Alberta, in the early morning hours of January 17.
He and Auxiliary Cst. Derek Bond were both shot with
a handgun at close range by Shawn Rehn, who escaped
and was later found deceased in a vacant home.
While Cst. Bond was treated and released from hospital, Cst. Wynn’s condition was listed as grave, and RCMP
announced Sunday evening that he was not expected to
live.
At an emotional news conference held on January
19, Cst. Wynn’s wife Shelley MacInnis-Wynn told the
media that the family had gathered to say farewell to her
stricken husband.
“Today’s the day that we say goodbye to Dave. And
I just want to send a message to everybody at home in
Nova Scotia that I know you’re thinking of him, especially his paramedic co-workers when we lived in Nova
Scotia,” Ms MacInnis-Wynn said. “And I’ve told him that
you’ve all sent messages, and he knows that you’re all
there thinking about him.”
She thanked the “RCMP family” for their support,
particularly Cst. Wynn’s fellow officers at the St. Albert
detachment.
“They have just been there at any time, whenever we
needed them,” she said. “My heart just goes out to them
that they have to keep continuing to work through all of
this, because I know that they’re grieving as well.”
Cst. Wynn was removed from life support and died
just after 10 a.m. AST last Wednesday.
Not long after there was an outpouring of condolence messages, beginning with Prime Minister Stephen
Harper offering his sympathy to the family, Cst. Wynn’s
friends and his RCMP colleagues.
“Our thoughts and prayers are also with Auxiliary
Constable Derek Bond, who was seriously injured in
the attack. We wish him a full and speedy recovery,” the
Prime Minister said in a statement.

Bridgewater Police are searching for a 29-year-old man they say
was involved in a stabbing that occurred on Bridgewater’s west side
last week.
Police issued a warrant on January 22 for the arrest of Stephen
Douglas Heisler, a Caucasian male
who’s roughly five feet 10 inches tall
with short blonde hair.
“After the altercation he fled on

foot. He was last seen fleeing west
on Victoria Road,” said deputy
chief Scott Feener, adding that the
suspect is well known to police.
Mr. Heisler has been charged
with aggravated assault, assault
with a weapon, breach of court orders and mischief. He has a lengthy
criminal record, including previous convictions for assault causing
bodily harm.
The stabbing incident happened
on Pleasant Street between Victoria
Road and Empire Street around 7
p.m. on January 21, temporarily
closing the street.
The injured man, who was taken
to the South Shore Regional Hospital for further examination, suffered non-life-threatening injuries
and has since been released.
The victim and the suspect know
each other.
As of the afternoon of January
26, police were still trying to find
the suspect and are asking for the
public’s help. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bridgewater Police Service.

Community mourns former
Bridgewater paramedic
PARAMEDIC from A1
“I would like to congratulate the
courageous first responders who
worked so diligently and at great
personal risk to help the RCMP officers and commend all authorities
involved in locating the armed and
dangerous individual responsible
for the attack.
“This was a brazen and cowardly
assault on our brave law enforcement officers. It is a grim reminder
of how law officers in communities
across the country put their lives on
the line every day to protect Canadians from harm. We mourn with all
RCMP members today.”
Speaking on behalf of the provincial NDP caucus, MLA Dave Wilson
expressed sadness at the news of
Cst. Wynn’s death.
“I graduated from the School of
Allied Health in the same class as
Cst. Wynn and I remember him as
someone who was dedicated to helping people and serving his community,” he said. “This incident is a stark
reminder of the dangers RCMP officers face in the line of duty, and
on behalf of our caucus I wish to
extend condolences to his family,
friends and colleagues.”
Books of condolence for members
of the public to sign were set up
at RCMP detachments throughout
Halifax and in Bridgewater, as well
as at Bridgewater Police Services
headquarters and the EHS base.
Municipality of Lunenburg Councillor Martin Bell had the privilege
to work with David Wynn when he
first moved to this area from New
Brunswick back in the mid-1990’s.
“At the time, the Nova Scotia ambulance program and pre-hospital
care services were more advanced
than in New Brunswick,” Councillor
Bell recalled. “Dave wanted to be in
one of the three first responder careers. That was many years ago, but
I still remember that smile.”
The local ambulance provider
was a small, privately run operation, and Mr. Wynn teamed up with
Wade Richard, Warren Croft and
RCMP PHOTO
Cst. David Wynn.
Councillor Bell to learn the ropes of
pre-hospital care.
“I was an emergency medical assistant, among the first in the province, and so Dave and I would do
calls together and then talk about
what we thought the outcome would
be and what might we do on the next
call to make sure everything worked
like clockwork,” he said. “He started
as a medic but never kept it a secret
that that was his second choice. He
wanted to be a police officer.”
Councillor Bell said that Mr.
Wynn was “like a sponge” during
his career as a paramedic he soaked
up the information.
“He wanted to learn and he wanted to be the best.”
In the late 1990s, when Councillor Bell was chief of the Conquerall
Bank fire department, he tried to
start up a new medical first response
program, and Cst. Wynn wanted to
help.
“Through the local ambulance
operator and with the help of guys
like Dave Wynn and John May, we
were able to get one of the first
trial areas in Nova Scotia up and
running where the local fire department would respond to medical
calls and motor-vehicle accidents,”
he recalled. “I wanted to get [an
automated external defibrillator] in
our local fire department, and Dave
helped train the firefighters in CPR
and first aid.”
Mr. Wynn continued to work with
fire departments in the area after the
new paramedic program came into
effect and also trained Bridgewater
Police Services in the automated external defibrillator program.
“In short, Dave was a blessing to
the Bridgewater area and the medical first response program that was
born in the Conquerall Bank and
Bridgewater areas,” he said.
The RCMP Veterans Association
Edmonton Division has also set up
a family support fund in memory
of Cst. Wynn, which will also provide assistance to Auxiliary Cst.
Bond. Donations can be made at any
branch of CIBC across Canada.
A regimental funeral service for
Cst. Wynn was held January 26 in
Edmonton. It was telecast live at a
community gathering held at the
Best Western Plus Bridgewater Hotel
and Convention Centre in Cookville.
In Cookville, Lunenburg County RCMP Cpl. Dyson Smith talked
about the impact of what happened
to Cst. Wynn.
“Unfortunately it’s one of those
things that’s become far too frequent. It’s always a very tough thing
to deal with. Not only from a family
and friend perspective, but from the
RCMP family perceptive,” the officer
said. “It seems to take a little chunk
of you every time it happens.”
Sheena Conrad, a paramedic who
worked with Cst. Wynn during his
time as a medic in Bridgewater,
said it has been tough dealing the
loss.
“We were absolutely devastated,”
she said. “He was a great guy. He
saved many lives and he gave up his
life trying to protect others.”

New Ross
school’s cafeteria
could close
By JONATHAN WADDELL
@LHNOWnews
Running a small business in rural Nova Scotia
isn’t easy, but it’s even harder inside a school.
That is how the principal of New Ross Consolidated School characterizes the cafeteria in the school,
which could close due to financial constraints.
“We got a situation where our school numbers,
our population is dwindling, and I’m a principal who
feels strongly that I shouldn’t be charging my families more than $3.50 a meal,” said Lindsay Willow,
principal of the school. “I had to take the costs up to
$3.50, which nearly broke my heart.”
Ms Willow said that the cafeteria manager does
her best to keep costs low, which includes everything
from shopping for bargains to clipping coupons.
And this year Ms Willow had to choose, she said,
between orienting fundraising efforts toward athletics programs at the school or the cafeteria. She chose
the latter.
Also, Ms Willow explained that she receives no
money from the province and no direct funding from
the South Shore Regional School Board (SSRSB) to
maintain the cafeteria.
There are 80 students in the school, and Ms Willow
estimates that 35 meals are sold daily through the
cafeteria. Approximately 15 of those meals are subsidized. Of those, 10 are subsidized through the SSRSB
and five through the Shubenacadie First Nation.
Two years ago, Grade 9 was removed from New
Ross and incorporated into Forest Heights Community School. The loss of the Grade-9 students and
questions around the future of the cafeteria have
some in the community wondering if the school is
being whittled away
This issue is being discussed in the broader community, said Tina Connors, Councillor for District 7.
The issue was on the New Ross Development Society agenda last week, according to Ms Connors.
“All of us are concerned with the big picture,
keeping the school, and [the cafeteria] it is, kind of,
one more piece of it, in terms of the Grade 9s last
year, the cafeteria.”
Ms Connors called the school “a piece of who we
are” and part of the product of the community to
attract prospective residents, especially those with
school-age children.
Ms Willow said the community can rest assured
that the school is not going anywhere.

Elevated fine for impaired driver
New Germany man found with three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system
By EMMA SMITH
@emmaLHNow
A New Germany man who
was caught driving with three
times the legal limit of alcohol
in his system will have to pay
an elevated fine totalling $1,950.
Christopher Beeler, 42, plead
guilty on January 21 to driving
while impaired.
On August 31, 2014, Mr.
Beeler, who had been drinking
the night before, tried to drive
around a police check stop on
the Newburne Road in Lunenburg County.
“When the officer approached him he had red bloodshot eyes and had the odour of
liquor coming from his breath,”
Crown attorney Michelle MacDonald told the court.
Mr. Beeler took two breathalyser tests, and police found
260 milligrams and 240 milligrams of alcohol in his blood.
The legal limit is 80 milligrams
of alcohol per 100 millilitres of
blood.
The Crown asked for an elevated fine because of the high
readings, as well as counselling
for substance abuse.
“He doesn’t feel that there’s
any difficulties with respect
to his alcohol use,” said legal
aid lawyer Cathy Benton in re-

Ms Benton told the court that
Mr. Beeler is currently receiving employment insurance, although he’s a seasonal worker
in the Christmas tree industry
and hopes to resume work this
spring.
Judge Paul Scovil prohibited
Mr. Beeler from driving for one
year, but he didn’t order counselling.
“I don’t have any history to
indicate whether counselling
would be effective or whether
this was a one-time issue,” he
said. “Although with a bloodalcohol level of that, you have
an alcohol problem whether you
realize it or not.”
Mr. Beeler has eight months
to pay the fine.

Chester man gets two years
for drug trafficking
A3
Taking a break
One of five men charged during
sex-for-drugs investigation
By EMMA SMITH
@emmaLHNow
A Chester man was sentenced to two
years in federal prison after pleading
guilty to trafficking hydropmorphone to
a 16-year-old girl.
Brendan Levy, 31, was charged in 2014
as part of a larger sex-for-drugs investigation. In total, five men from Chester
and Mahone Bay were charged for exchanging drugs for sexual acts with four
teen girls.
Mr. Levy provided hydromorphone, a
potent derivative of morphine, on several occasions between June 1, 2012, and
September 1, 2012, to a teenager from
the Chester area.
Police obtained a statement on February 8, 2013, and at that time Mr. Levy
was charged with a number of offences.
All but the drug trafficking charge
were stayed, “essentially as a result of
how statements were obtained,” said
Crown attorney Michael MacKenzie in
provincial court on January 19.
The Crown consulted with defence
lawyer David Hirtle to come up with a
joint sentencing recommendation that
would see Mr. Levy serve two years,
even with a prior trafficking conviction
in 2009.
“The two years, while it is on, in my
opinion, the very low end is, I think, a
fit and just joint recommendation,” Mr.
MacKenzie said in court.
Mr. Hirtle agreed, but added that they
came to the recommendation after a
great deal of discussion.
He went on to say that Mr. Levy was
in a car accident when he was a teenager and is not employed.
“He has suffered from that point in
time, both mentally and physically, and
it is not something that is going to go
away. It’s a permanent disability,” said
Mr. Hirtle.
Judge Jim Burrill agreed with counsel’s recommendation and sentenced
Mr. Levy to two years in prison, plus
gave him a lifetime ban on possessing
firearms or other substances under Section 109 of the Criminal Code and ordered him to provide DNA to a national
databank.
Mr. Levy was taken out of the courtroom as three people sat in the gallery.
One had tears in her eyes as she waved
goodbye.
“Trafficking of hydromorphone, especially to the youth of this community,
has been shown over and over in this
court to be an offence that wreaks havoc
on our youth,” Judge Burrill told the
court.
Man sentenced to a year of
probation for domestic assault
By EMMA SMITH
@emmaLHNow
A Lower LaHave man who choked
and slapped his girlfriend has been ordered to complete 12 months’ probation.
Allen Sperry, 24, appeared in provincial court on January 21 for an assault
that happened in October 2014 at his
girlfriend’s home.
“He accused her of talking to another
male,” Crown attorney Michelle MacDonald told the court. “He then started
to choke her really hard and she was
lying half on the bed and half on the
floor, and then he also slapped her in
the face.”
Bridgewater Police were called shortly after 10:30 p.m. on the night in question last October, but Mr. Sperry had
fled.
The Crown, along with legal aid law-
yer Bob Chipman, presented a joint
recommendation to Judge Paul Scovil.
Although Mr. Sperry has an adult and
youth record, he has no criminal history
of violence, and his then girlfriend has
been in contact with him since the assault.
“She continues to have some contact
with Mr. Sperry and does not have any
concern for her safety at this time,” said
Ms MacDonald.
Mr. Sperry has worked as a cook for
the last six months and has attended
counselling in the past.
Judge Scovil accepted the joint recommendation, saying that it appears
Mr. Sperry is taking responsibility and
is remorseful.
“Would you come back again with another offence, either on the same victim
or another domestic assault, it’s likely
you’d go to jail. So you have to understand that,” he told Mr. Sperry.
South Shore Safe Communities
purchases speed trailer
The South Shore Safe Communities
road safety committee purchased a new
device to help improve road safety in
Lunenburg and Queens Counties.
The committee bought a speed ranger
trailer through a $15,000 grant provided
by the provincial Road Safety Advisory
Committee.
“A speed ranger trailer is a radar
speed display sign that can be set up on
the side of the road to prompt motorists
to notice and improve their speed,” said
a media release from the Bridgewater
Police Service, one of the law enforcement agencies that will put the new unit
to use.
The mobile sign, which will be available to local police, is commonly used
throughout Europe and North America.
“Studies have shown these displays
act as a visual reminder to slow drivers
an average of 10 per cent for several kilometres after encountering one,” said
the release.
When placed in problem areas, the
trailers can provide traffic authorities
and police with data surrounding speed
patterns. Police indicated the acquisition of the new equipment means more
effective use of manpower for road safety enforcement duties.

COMMENT
Wynn’s death a community’s loss
ur memories of Dave Wynn span the late
1990s and early 2000’s while he worked for
Emergency Health Services in his profession
as a paramedic.
We have photographs of his look of intensity
among a mass of first responders hovering over a
chaotic scene. We penned the narrative of his March
2007 assistance in saving a woman who went into
cardiac arrest behind the wheel of her car in Bridgewater.
These are examples - public snapshots, if you will
- of Mr. Wynn’s work that we remember: A picture
and story of the unflappable professional in the face
of extreme stress.
Our loss is that
we did not have the
pleasure of knowing
the fun and personal
side of Mr. Wynn
as his friends and
colleagues did: The
prankster. The guy
who enjoyed simple
chit-chat over some
adult beverages. Dave
Wynn was trusted. He was dependable.
Six years after Mr. Wynn changed careers and
joined the RCMP, his life was tragically cut short.
The 42 year old was shot in the line of duty on
January 17 and died in hospital days later. He and
an auxiliary officer, Derrick Bond, were investigating a stolen vehicle call at a casino when a gunman
opened fire on them.
We acknowledge the service of both men. We acknowledge Cst. Wynn’s sacrifice.
We appreciate that the men and women who
apply the tools of public safety assume risks. What
stings is when the justice system fails and places the
people who put on the uniform at needlessly greater
risk. The man who did the shooting was already
facing a slew of charges and had a lengthy criminal
record. Alberta’s justice department ordered a review into how the Crown dealt with this individual.

We hope the results of this review translates into
tangible change that lessens risks on our police and
our public.
Cst. Wynn’s service and sacrifice has raised
awareness of the efforts of first responders. We respect the professionals and volunteers who look out
for us. We mourn them when they are taken from us.
Judging by the tributes pouring in, Cst. Wynn
touched the lives of many and he won’t be forgotten.
Days before Cst. Wynn’s funeral, local emergency
service personnel gathered at the Bridgewater fire
station to share a few stories and celebrate their
friend’s life.
We join the masses, Dave, in saying thank-you for
all that you have done.

TO THE EDITOR
Constable’s death deeply sad
ivil society cannot function without police.
We task them with upholding the laws that we
have seen fit to engender through our democracy, and we ask that they apprehend villains and
keep the peace. It is profoundly sad and ugly when
one of them is killed. He or she steps into harm’s
way and sometimes, accordingly, takes a bullet for
each of the rest of us. It is sometimes convenient to
forget that they serve us, but that is indeed just what
C
they do, in the broadest possible sense. It is therefore
worth pausing to remember that they step out the
door every day ready and willing to pay the ultimate
price for our trust. Killing a cop is depravity at its
worst and tantamount to levelling a gun at the whole
of society. We shake our heads in sober contemplation. Yes, it is deeply, deeply sad.

Leave uranium underground
fter reading Bill Black’s recent article in the
Chronicle Herald regarding uranium mining
in Nova Scotia, I feel compelled to write and
explain why we should not do as he suggests.
We, the Friends of Nature, believe we are very fortunate in Nova Scotia to currently have a moratorium
on uranium mining. There are numerous health risks
related to uranium mining, and Nova Scotians should
be thankful such legislation currently exists.
As usual, Mr. Black has done due diligence in researching his subject and presents a list of reasons
why the current moratorium should be ended. Mr.
Black uses the argument that great job opportunities would be created and we would also be helping
to address the world’s energy problems. After all, in
Saskatchewan, “uranium mining provides 3,000 wellpaying direct jobs.”
Mr. Black neglects to mention anything about the
health risks associated with uranium mining. Also,
he does not take into consideration the shear size of
Saskatchewan and the fact that the mines there are
located in very northern locations. The province of
Nova Scotia does not have the option to mine in remote areas as our land base is very small. The cancer-

badly that we would be prepared to increase those
statistics? We are of the opinion that the health risks
associated with uranium mining waste material far
surpass any job benefits we would see.
We understand the need for Nova Scotia to grow its
economy and move forward to embrace a new way of
thinking about our collective good. The Ivany Report
is clear about this; however, we need to use common
sense and pursue sustainable, healthy employment
opportunities.
Our suggestion to Premier McNeil and his government is to show leadership, maintain the moratorium
and leave the uranium in the ground – forever.

Community’s alcohol problem addressed
THE COURT REPORT
Group aims to change culture
By PAULA LEVY
M@LunenburgCoLife
A group of community members
want to change the culture of alcohol
use in Lunenburg County.
A forum organized by the Municipal
Alcohol Project (MAP) was held on January 22 in Bridgewater. The committee
formed to respond to a project designed
to understand and illuminate alcoholrelated harms in three Nova Scotia municipalities, including Bridgewater.
“This forum was about bringing people together to go over … the problems
that alcohol has caused in Bridgewater,”
said Councillor Wayne Thorburne, who
chairs the MAP committee.
South Shore Health director of community health services Todd Leader said
alcohol is a major cause of illness, injury and death and costs to the health
care system.
He hopes to see the reduction of harmful uses of alcohol such as excessive and
frequent drinking as well as the use of
alcohol in situations such as dating.
Mr. Leader said alcohol contributes
to heart disease at least five types of
cancer.
“The vast majority of all alcohol consumption contributes to heart disease,
even though we’ve been led to sort of believe that alcohol is sort of good for your
heart. That’s only in a very, very limited
way that it has that effect. Most of our
drinking contributes to it. It contributes
Police probe
thefts from
vehicles
Folks in the Lunenburg area are being
urged to start locking their vehicle doors
and report to police any suspicious activity in their neighbourhood as law enforcement deals with a rash of thefts from
unlocked automobiles.
Lunenburg County RCMP say the
thefts occurred during the early morning
hours from vehicles parked on streets and
in residential driveways in and near the
town. In a statement released by authorities on January 20, police indicated they
have received seven calls about theft from
vehicles over the past week.
Police continue to investigate but
would appreciate the public keeping their
vehicles secured and their eyes open for
anything unusual.
Anyone with information is asked
to contact Lunenburg County RCMP or
Crime Stoppers.
Chelsea area
break-ins
investigated
Power saws, tools and an outboard
motor are among the items missing after
a series of break-ins in the New Elm area,
near Chelsea, over the Christmas holiday.
During Christmas Eve or Christmas
day, “multiple residences and sheds were
broken into and several items were stolen,” Lunenburg County RCMP said in a
statement released January 20.
Anyone with information pertaining
to the incidents is asked to contact county
RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

to the cause of diabetes. It contributes
to the big stuff we’re dealing with,” said
Mr. Leader. “From a health perspective,
it’s a very significant issue. Other than
tobacco, no drug that we use causes as
much harm or costs the system as much
as alcohol.”
Councillor Thorburne said the committee’s mandate is advocacy and to effect change where possible.
“It’s a community problem. It affects
the very young to the very old. It’s not
one particular group,” said Councillor
Thorburne.
He said that there is a need for strong
policies around alcohol, pricing, access,
and marketing in order to reduce the
overall harm.
“It is our hope that together we can
build community based, collaborative
strategies that will change the culture
of alcohol use in Nova Scotia,” Councillor Thorburne added. “Our communities depend on it. I firmly believe that
together we can make a difference, we
have no choice.”
The committee meets this week to
determine their next steps and prioritize tasks to tackle over the coming
months. In addition to advocating for
policy changes some of the issues that
came up at the forum include the need
for education on alcohol consumption
and harm to individuals and society, developing partnerships and collective action and increased financial resources,
control alcohol advertising in stores and
community events and support the need
to provide additional support programs
particularly for youth.
“Other than tobacco, no
drug that we use causes
as much harm or costs
the system as much as
alcohol.”

Police looking for
clues in ATV thefts
By EMMA SMITH
M@emmaLHNow
Police are reminding allterrain vehicle (ATV) owners in Lunenburg County
to lock their garages after a
recent spate of thefts in the
western part of the county.
In the past week, two
Honda ATVs were stolen in
Wileville from two different
locations, and an attempted
theft was reported in Hebbville.
“Police believe the stolen
ATVs may have been loaded
onto the back of a pickup
truck after being removed
from the property,” said a
Lunenburg County RCMP
statement.
Although police don’t
have a description of the vehicle, they say it’s likely a
full-size truck.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking
anyone with information
to call Lunenburg County
RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

n Pleads guilty. A Baker Settlement
man pleaded guilty to possessing marijuana and was ordered to pay a total of
$325, which includes a victim surcharge,
in provincial court on January 19. The
RCMP responded to a domestic disturbance call on May 10, 2013. They found
James Douglas Hiltz, 50, with two kilograms of marijuana, which he was using
to make marijuana oil. This is Mr. Hiltz’s
fifth conviction under the Controlled
Drugs and Substances Act, having been
charged with simple possession in 1993,
2010 and 2011. He has until March 11 to
pay the fine.
n Driving without a license. After
a bit of back and forth with a provincial
court judge, Dillon Winter, 23, pleaded
guilty to driving without a license and
will have to pay $284.91. Mr. Winter, a
self-employed musician, wanted an August 15 motor-vehicle conviction set aside
because of “exceptional circumstances.”
He said at the date of the incident he’d
just returned to Blockhouse from BC,
where he was attending university and
hadn’t yet renewed his driver’s license.
It was also Father’s Day, and he was driving his dad, who had had a few drinks.
Mr. Winter asked Judge Paul Scovil on
January 21 if he could plead no contest.
Judge Scovil responded that there’s no
such thing as no contest in Canada.
“That’s American,” he said. “You can
either plead guilty … or you can enter
a not guilty plea and set it down for
trial.” Mr. Winter asked if his argument
seemed like it could hold up in trial. “I
can’t answer that,” said Judge Scovil. “It
wouldn’t be proper for me to say, ‘Yeah,
that’s a good defence,’ and then hear it,
and then decide.” Mr. Winter has until
February 10, 2016, to pay the fine.

Public meeting discusses future of Bridgewater’s outdoor pool
By LEENA ALI
M@leenahali
Those who wanted their say about
the future of Bridgewater’s outdoor pool
packed the gallery in town council chambers last week.
The town-hall meeting on January 19
was held to get public input on the possible closure of the facility, which recently recorded a $31,076 deficit. Many
who attended the session voiced support
for keeping the pool open.
“Being outside … is the spirit of our
sport and something that we feel needs
to be maintained,” said Blair Lipsett,
president of the Bridgewater Barracudas
summer swim team.
“The Bridgewater Barracudas have
been part of our community for 43 years.
Throughout that time, we have had the
mission of promoting a healthy, active
lifestyle for the youth in our region
through competitive swimming. Each
year, we have approximately 115 youth
that are in the water every day … for six
weeks,” he said.
The town kept the outdoor pool open
for the 2014 summer season to judge how
it would be impacted by the opening of
the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre’s
(LCLC) indoor pool.
“We have heard from some of our
members that if we were to move to this
inside environment they will leave the
club,” Mr. Lipsett told council.
Many expressed their appreciation for
the LCLC and said that both the indoor
and outdoor pools are assets to the community. Others suggested that the outdoor pool is more affordable, and that the
cost of redeveloping the facility, if it were
to close, would be an important consideration for council.
Deputy Mayor Bill McInnis indicated
that he would give what was said careful
consideration. “My decision is not totally
about the money. It’s about quality of
life and the town, and that’s really, really
important.”
Representatives from the pool asked
council if it would consider keeping the
outdoor pool open and town operated if

the approximate $30,000 deficit could be

Winners coming to Bridgewater Mall
By LEENA ALI
M@leenahali
Owners of the Bridgewater Mall have
announced that Winners will be opening
up this spring.
The national retailer will occupy just
under 1,700 square metres of the mall. It’s
the fifth tenant announced as part of a
$10-million redevelopment of the former
Zellers space.
“It’s going to certainly be a great boost
to the mall and to the town as well,” said
Michael Levy, mall property manager and
vice-president of Zenda Group, which
owns and operates the mall.
Leon’s Furniture, Sport Chek and
Mark’s Work Wearhouse have opened in
their portion of the former Zellers area.
Dollarama will relocate from its current
space in the mall.
“We anticipate turning over the store
to Winners on, or around, mid-March,”
Mr. Levy said.
The store will likely open around the
end of April or early May, he said, and
the main entrance will be in the interior
of the mall.
Mr. Levy said he can’t speak to the

number of jobs the retailer will bring to
town; however, he expects it will begin
staffing soon.
In terms of the rest of the mall, “we
still have some space to lease and some
work to do,” he said.
He can’t disclose who they are yet, but
expects to announce some new tenants
over the course of 2015.
The Nothin’ Fancy Furniture Warehouse will be vacating the mall in next
few months, and Mr. Levy said there are
“three big names looking at that space.”

Nova Scotia’s environment minister

students and administration leadership
for their ongoing waste diversion efforts.
“If every school in the province was
as successful as you guys are, we would
reduce a lot more trash and waste in the

told an assembly of students at West
Northfield Elementary School.
He and Lunenburg MLA Suzanne

recognition of the school’s honourable
mention in the Resource Recovery Fund
Board’s Mobius Awards of Environmental Excellence. The school participates
in a Green Schools Nova Scotia program.
Both MLAs pointed out the students
efforts send a good message to the adults

Proposed bylaw changes go to first reading
Judge would determine whether dog is dangerous
By ROBERT HIRTLE
M@LunenburgNews
Lunenburg council has given notice of
motion for first reading of a revised dog
bylaw for the town.
Town solicitor Patrick Burke presented the redrafted document to council
January 13 after being requested to draw
up changes that would cover dogs being
deemed fierce and dangerous.
Mr. Burke said the proposed bylaw
mirrors one brought forward last year
by the Town of Bridgewater. It was never
implemented by council due to concerns
over off-leash issues and the town’s lack
of a dog park.

Winter parking regulations
in effect
Winter parking restrictions are in effect in the Town of Lunenburg.
Under the authority of the provincial
Motor Vehicle Act, vehicles that are
parked on a street that have not been
fully cleared of snow or is subject to
icing conditions may be ticketed and
towed.
Vehicles will be towed from the street
whenever RCMP or public works department staff deems that plowing or
salting is necessary and vehicles are
obstructing this work.
Motorists are advised to seek offstreet parking and to use it throughout
the winter to avoid being towed as a
result of an unexpected storm or drop
in temperature.
“Keeping streets that are icy, and or
snow-covered, free of parked vehicles is
essential,” says RCMP Cpl. Bill Wilcox.
“This enables safe winter road maintenance and provides continual access for
emergency vehicles.”
controlled.”
A call for the bylaw review arose last
September when there was a complaint
that an elderly lady was out walking her
dog in town when her animal was confronted by two other dogs.
As a result of that altercation, the
woman was knocked down and her dog
was injured when it was pinned by the
other two animals.
No one was charged in the incident;
however, the offending dogs were deemed
to be fierce by the RCMP and the owner
was advised they had to be kept under
muzzle, on chain and within an enclosure.
Mr. Burke said the proposed bylaw is
more complicated than either the existing one or the Bridgewater model due
to the inclusion of a judge to determine
whether a dog is fierce and dangerous.
The existing bylaw has no provision
to have a dog destroyed, but it can be ordered removed from town.
First reading on the proposed amendments will be held at a public meeting of
council January 27.
YMCA plans free open house
The Lunenburg County YMCA is welcoming the community to take part in

Feral cat houses destroyed in Martins Point
year,” said Lynne Ware, volunteer and
co-founder of the local TNR program that
works with SHAID.
According to SHAID’s website, TNR
is a humane method used to reduce the
overpopulation of feral and stray cats.
The animals are trapped and neutered
and then returned to their colony.
About mid-January, volunteers were
notified that the cat houses, located on
private property in the Martins Point
area, were flipped over so that the cats

Volunteers with a local Trap-NeuterReturn (TNR) program were devastated
to find feral cat houses destroyed earlier
this month in Martins Point.
“I was just horrified. I just can’t believe somebody would do that to these
cats. It meant that they had no home

to stay, so we haven’t seen as many,” she
said.
The majority of the program’s colonies
are looked after by someone who lives on
the same property; however, this colony is
taken care of by visiting volunteers. The
SHAID TNR program has been operating since 2007, and this is the first time
anything like this has happened, said Ms
Ware.
“It could have been avoided. If the
person is unhappy with the colony being
there, they could have talked to us. They
could have left note and said, ‘I’m not
happy about this, please talk to me,’” she
said.
“We’re actually trying to control the
population by what we’re doing. … I don’t
know if the person knows that or not.”
On the bright side, Ms Koekman said
many people have been reaching out to
support the cats by donating money and
food.
“Good things have come out of this,
but we just need to find out who this is.”
She said they’ve built two more cat
houses, which are in a secure location
and “out of sight.”
“These cats are just trying to survive, and being homeless and alone
was not their choice. People have abandoned them, and TNR is just trying to
help them survive,” said Ms Koekman.
Cst. Evan Fleck of the Chester
RCMP detachment could not provide
any details but said the matter is under
investigation.

were unable to enter, and food for the animals was stolen.
“We put them back up and we got new
bins and food and then, I think about a
week later, the houses were turned over
again,” said volunteer Linda Koekman,
who, along with her husband, built the
shelters in donation to the program.
That’s when they decided to put a camera in the area to find out what was happening. The footage they captured shows
a person destroying the cat houses. Ms
Koekman posted a photo of the incident
on Facebook in hopes someone could provide more information.
She also said they found pieces of the
houses on a shoreline and in an abandoned house in the Martins Point area.
“The houses had been totally destroyed, the feeding station had been totally destroyed and again, the food disappeared,” said Ms Ware.
There were at least 14 cats in the colony and potentially more.
“The cats have kind of dispersed.

Former finance minister speaks
in Mahone Bay
Former finance minister and NDP
MLA Graham Steele will be in Mahone
Bay this week for a presentation and
discussion focused on helping citizens
understand and improve the procedures
of democratic governance.
Mr. Steele is slated to speak at the Mahone Bay Centre on January 30 as part
of the South Shore Chapter of the Council of Canadians’ ongoing series titled
“Reclaiming Our Democracy.” The event
runs from 7 to 9 p.m. The Council of Canadians is a non-profit social action organization with chapters across the country.
In his recent book, “What I Learned
About Politics: Inside the Rise — and
Collapse — of Nova Scotia’s NDP Government,” Mr. Steele takes on what he sees as
a destructive political culture. It’s a culture “that leads politicians to do things
and say things and make decisions that
aren’t in Nova Scotia’s best interests,”
he told LighthouseNOW in an interview
last fall.
Mr. Steele, 50, a resident of Halifax and
lawyer by trade, served 15 years as an
MLA, which included time in the Dexter
NDP government’s inner circle. He’s currently a political analyst for CBC News.

By ROBERT HIRTLE
Lunenburg’s general goverment committtee is considering a request from a
resident to convert the Prince Street and
Creighton Street intersection into a fourway stop from a two-way stop.
In a letter to council, Creighton Street
resident Clas Larsson said that there is
a steep hill from Hobson Street to Prince
Street “which seems to serve as an acceleration section for some drivers, so by the
time they cross over Prince Street they’re
moving pretty fast.”
Mr. Larsson continued: “Also, drivers
going towards Prince Street from the west
cannot see any traffic coming along Prince
Street from the south due to a house on
the corner. [They] have a stop sign that is
not always observed. Both my wife and I
have had near misses when drivers went
through this stop sign on Prince Street.”
He said more families with young children are moving into the area, and he
has personally observed some of those
children riding through Prince Street stop
signs on their bikes and skateboards.

Council considers
four-way stop request
“I do not believe the argument that
someone has to die before stop signs are
implemented, but one of these days it
may happen at this dangerous intersection,” he said. “As far as I know, Creighton
Street is one of the very few streets in
Lunenburg with no stop signs and, therefore, many drivers use it as a quick way to
reach Highway 332.”
During discussion, members of the
committee agreed that there are several
areas in town where ways to slow traffic
should be considered.
It was agreed that the town’s traffic
authority would be asked to consult with
local residents in the area of the intersection concerning the proposal and report
back to the committee.

National Chief urges aboriginals to become politically engaged
Betty Ann Levallée in Bridgewater on cross-country tour
By GAYLE WILSON
M@LHNOWnews
Concerned about potential “genocide
by pen,” the National Chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, Betty Ann
Levallée, urged an audience in Bridgewater to get out and vote in the next general
election.
Ms Levallée was speaking at the Day’s
Inn on January 24 on her national grassroots engagement tour. She pointed out
that Aboriginals are the youngest and
fastest-growing demographic group in
Canada, with a birth rate twice that of
the national average.
“The number of aboriginal people running for office this year is absolutely
amazing,” Ms Levallée told the audience,
which largely consisted of people claiming aboriginal status but living off reserves.
“You guys don’t realize how much
power you wield.”
She commented that while the federal
government has painted a picture of Ca-
nadian aboriginals as drug addicts and
street walkers, more and more are achieving higher education and becoming a
political force to contend with.
The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples
(CAP), formerly the Native Council of
Canada, represents the interests nationally of Métis and non-status Indians. This
is CAP’s second national grassroots tour,
which is designed to meet with off-reserve aboriginals to hear first-hand about
the issues affecting them.
At each session the national chief presents an overview of CAP’s work and then
the floor is opened up for discussion. Ms
Levallée explained that last year’s topics
included housing, education and violence
in aboriginal communities concerning
both women and men.
Sitting alongside Ms Levallée was
Grace Conrad, chief and president of the
Native Council of Nova Scotia. Together
they fielded questions concerning registration and rights of aboriginals.
Elizabeth Riddell, who described herself as a Qualipu member living in Shel-

burne, asked about hunting off reserve in
Nova Scotia.
“I want to be self-sufficient to the point
that I can feed myself and my family.”
Saying she lives completely off the grid,
she added, “I don’t want to deal with
Superstore. I can skin a rabbit as fast as
anyone.”
Roger Hunka, director of intergovernmental affairs for the Maritime Aboriginal Peoples Council, who was sitting
amongst the group, explained that the
regulations vary from province to province. In Nova Scotia, any Mi’kmaq who is
registered in the province may hunt off
the reserve, albeit with certain provisos.
Rights and government services available to non-status aboriginals living off
the reserve are complicated by the fact
that while Canada’s aboriginals come
under the domain of treaties signed by
the federal government, services such as
health, education and natural resources
fall under the provincial governments,
said Mr. Hunka.
Throughout his comments, he regu-

National Chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, Betty Ann Levallée.
larly referred to Prime Minister Stephen
Harper as “Mr. Harpoon.” However, Mr.
Hunka said a lot of the issue is also down
to provincial politics.
“[The provinces] refuse to accept there
are aboriginals on their lands who have
treaty rights,” he insisted.
Ms. Levallée accused the federal government of attempting to muddy the waters of who qualifies as an aboriginal
with treaty rights guaranteed to them
under Canada’s constitution. She explained that before Confederation the aboriginal societies were matriarchal, with
clearly defined natural heirs. She said
that now status is decreed by Ottawa according to a variety of stipulations, such
as whether an aboriginal lives on or off
the reserve, has married a non-aboriginal
and whether it is the husband or wife who
has done so. She said she lost her aboriginal status because she chose to join the
Canadian Armed Forces.
With so many different names and categories for Canada’s indigenous people,
she said she’s lost track of them.
“We are now down to being graded like
cattle. It’s genocide by the pen rather than
the sword, ” she said.
One attendee stood up and declared
that he has never voted in a general election but he intends to do so in the next
one. Ms Levallée replied that she understands the “philosophy” that has held
many aboriginals back from voting.
“But our population has changed, our
looks have changed, our thought processes have changed.” If people stand by
and let Ottawa dictate who and who isn’t
an aboriginal, she said, “we have no one
to blame but ourselves.”
Meanwhile, as the national chief pointed out, CAP and other groups have been
pushing for the country’s Métis and nonstatus Indians to have the same right to
federal government programs and services as First Nations and Inuit.
They scored a major win last year
when the federal court recognized them
as “Indians” under the Constitution. This
followed a long battle in the courts initiated by Métis leader Harry Daniels in 1999.
However, the federal government appealed that ruling, and last year the Federal Court of Appeal upheld part of the
decision. It ruled that while Métis should
remain Indians under the Constitution,
extending that recognition to non-status
Indians should be done on a case-by-case
basis, since it is a separate issue.
Both CAP and the federal government
in turn appealed that ruling. Ottawa
claims both lower courts were wrong to
extend Indian status to the Métis, while
also arguing that the appeals court got
it right when it ruled non-status Indians
as a whole should not constitutionally be
considered Indians. CAP’s position is that
it is not up to the government to decide
who is a status Indian.
Last November, the Supreme Court
agreed to hear appeals from both sides.
The eventual outcome of the case could
vastly extend the federal government’s
responsibilities to hundreds of thousands
of aboriginal people in Canada.
After Bridgewater, CAP’s grassroots
tour was headed to New Brunswick and
PEI before moving westward.

ATVers share their wealth
By PAULA LEVY
M@LunenburgCoLife
Over 1,200 ATV enthusiasts
converged in Chester Basin for
the annual Fish n’ Chip rally last
weekend organized by the Shore
Riders ATV Club.
President Nancy Wentzell said
she believes the rally is the largest in the Maritimes, and it seems
to have become a favourite among
ATV riders from across the province, PEI, New Brunswick and
Quebec. This year over 850 ATVs
were on the 70-kilometre trail on
January 24 to mark the largest
fish n’ chip rally to date.
“It’s just grown into a phenomenal rally,” said Ms Wentzell.
At the Chester Basin Legion,
participants pay a registration fee
to play a hand of poker. Cards are
given out at various checkpoints
and, at the end of the day, the winning hands go home with prizes.
The proceeds from registration
help maintain the trails in the
area but the Shore Riders ATV
Club also shares its wealth.
Ms Wentzell said the club donates a portion of the proceeds
to the Chester Basin Legion and
the Health Services Foundation
of the South Shore as well as helping families in need. But those
aren’t the only beneficiaries of
the large rally.
The Waldon fire department
uses its volunteers to host a canteen at the half-way point.
“It’s known as the fish n’ chip
rally because at the half-way point
we have a canteen, and they serve
hot fish and chips in the middle of
woods in the wintertime,” said Ms
Wentzell.
In addition, the Chester Basin
Legion, which is the beginning
and ending point, also serves a hot
breakfast before and community
supper after the rally.
“It’s a really huge community affair,” said Ms
Wentzell, noting the Atlantica Hotel usually sells out
for the weekend. Ms Wentzell estimates the rally
brings about $250,000 to
$300,000 to the local community for the day-long
event.
The proceeds that remain with the club are
put back into trail maintenance. The club maintains bridges, cuts bush,
repairs washouts and is
constantly upgrading the
trails. Shore Riders have
over 8,500 acres (34 km)
of land-use agreements
signed. This land doesn’t
include the thousands of
acres of Crown land that
is connected to the trails.
“We have to do a lot of
work ourselves, and that’s
where our funding goes,
back into the trails for the landowners to keep up and a lot of it
is trails that we built,” said Ms
Wentzell, noting the rally would
not be possible if it wasn’t for the
generosity of private landowners
who allow the ATVs to pass over

Students win money
By EMMA SMITH
M@emmaLHNow
Hebbville Academy has
won $1,000 thanks to students
Grace Naugler and Raegyn
Judge, who entered a video
contest about mining earlier
in the school year.
The junior high students’
videos were picked on January 22 in an early-bird draw
for the Mining Association of
Nova Scotia’s (MANS) Mining Rocks! video contest. They
were each awarded $500, which
will be donated to their school.
The contest is open to junior high and high school students from across the province, and the final winners
will be picked in April.
“Hebbville Academy is very
proud of our students, Raegyn
Judge and Grace Naugler,”
said principal Stephen Johnson in a statement. “The hard
work and creative spirit dem-
onstrated in their educational
mining videos will serve to
benefit all of our school community.”
High school student Blake
Holland from Bridgewater
also won an early-bird prize
of $1,000, which will go to the
Lunenburg County YMCA.
MANS put the call out to
students in September.
“We are asking kids to produce short videos about mining and quarrying and to have
fun with it – to be creative and
make their video stand out
from the crowd,” said MANS
executive director Sean Kirby
in a press release.
The contest deadline is February 20, and final prizes of
$1,500 will be awarded in four
categories. The judging panel
includes Minister of Natural
Resources Zach Churchill,
Membertou Chief Terry Paul
and Cecil Clarke, Mayor of
Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

New Germany rallies behind students
Teens and teacher vow
to shave heads for Hailey

New Germany Rural High School is rallying behind its students and teacher who are raising money for Hailey Rodenhiser. The seven year old was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Allie Bruhm, front, will have her head shaved on February 12 by her sister Taylor. Teacher Dale
Bruhm has also vowed to be shaved if the $1,000 goal is reached.

Allie Bruhm has decided to show
her support for her little cousin Hailey Rodenhiser by shaving her head
too. Hailey was diagnosed with leukemia in December. Since news of
the seven-year old’s illness surfaced,
the community has been rallying
around the family to help in any way
it can.
“When Hailey started to lose her
hair, I told my mom that I wanted to
shave my head for her,” said Allie, a
Grade-10 student at New Germany
Rural High. “We just started talking at home about turning it into a
fundraiser.”
When she brought the idea to
school, her friends and teachers decided they would help in any way
they could. Allie and her sister Taylor put donations jars in the cafeteria and office and told everyone that
Allie would shave off her long hair if
$500 was raised.
“The day we started, we just went
around to classrooms and collected
over $100,” said Taylor. It only took
three days for the school community
to reach its first goal.
Then fellow student Nathan
Minick jumped in and vowed to
shave his head too if $700 was raised.
As of Friday last week, the second
target had been reached.
Teacher Dale Bruhm has also
joined in and made a pledge to shave
his head if the school raised $1,000.
“I know it’s a good cause,” said
Mr. Bruhm. “I know we can do it.”
He’s sure they can reach $1,000 because the community has joined in
to support the Bruhm sisters’ efforts
to help their cousin and her family.
Although Mr. Bruhm said he already has short hair, it will be far
more difficult for Allie to lose her
long hair. But Allie said as long as
her friends, school and community
are behind her, she will be fine.
“The way I look at is, all of my
friends go to New Germany and
everybody knows what’s going on.
So, when I’m here, everybody will
know. … Everybody that I care about
knows,” she smiled.

‘Jacks comeback falls short
The Amherst Ramblers were the visitors at the LCLC this past Friday evening for a date with the South Shore
Junior A Lumberjacks.
The ‘Jacks got off to a quick start
when Josh Shatford and Layton Parsons scored before the four-minute
mark, and it was 2-0 for the home side
early. Before the midway point of the
opening period, the Ramblers would
tie the game on goals by Chad Bannister and Matti Jmaeff. ‘Jacks defender
Brian Reardon gave the home team the
lead again shortly after the Ramblers
tied it, and it was 3-2 for the ‘Jacks after
one period of play.
The second period was one to forget
for the ‘Jacks as the Ramblers fired five
∂
unanswered goals past netminder Chris
Langlais and a the wide-open style of
hockey took over. Lucas Batt scored a
pair in the second and Mark Creaser,
Matti Jmaeff and Stephen Sisco had
the other Rambler goals. It was 7-3 after
two periods.
The Lumberjacks came out with a
vengeance in the third and tried to
make a game of it with goals by Josh
Shatford, Makail Parker and Layton
Parsons, but they were unable to even
up the score, and the Ramblers skated
away with a 7-6 win in front of 811 fans.
The ‘Jacks return to the ice Friday
night when they welcome the Campbellton Tigers to town. The puck drops

J.P. Cormier
to play Pearle theatre
The Lunenburg Folk Harbour Society is pleased to present J.P. Cormier at
Lunenburg’s Pearl Theatre January 31
at 7:30 p.m.
A respected musician with a booming voice who plays countless instruments with ease and grace, this gentle
giant captivates his audience with his
zingy one-liners as well as his heartfelt
stories.
His ability to lead his audience on a
journey through storytelling set to incredible music enthralls the crowd and
keeps them coming back for more. It’s
an emotional adventure.
Born in Ontario, Mr. Cormier was a
musical marvel by the age of five, playing several instruments by ear. At the
age of 16, he started on the U.S. festival
circuit and quickly became a favourite.
This led him to move to the States and
the opportunity to perform with some
of his all-time favourite artists and a
who’s who of bluegrass, country and
folk genres throughout his career.
Mr. Cormier has earned high praise
from many individuals, including his
longtime “pickin’ partner” and collaborator Marty Stuart, who calls him “just
incredible, one of the best players I’ve
ever seen.”
He has also earned kudos from country music legend Waylon Jennings, who
said, “I would be proud to share the
stage with this man anywhere, any-
time” as well as Chet Atkins, who honoured him as “one of the most important guitarists of his generation.”
Closer to home, former Governor
General of Canada Adrienne Clarkson
said what Mr. Cormier has to say as an
artist “is incredibly important and a
treasure to our Nation” and legendary
Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon
Lightfoot admitted to having “a great
deal of respect” for Mr. Cormier.
Mr. Cormier has a profound effect
on audiences, but those who know him
know his heart far exceeds his stature.
His acts of random kindness in and out
of the music industry are legendary.
There are many stories of the “big
fella” going to play for someone on their
deathbed, helping fledgling artists or
generally standing up for people who
couldn’t do it for themselves. He spent
two weeks in the theatre of war entertaining the NATO troops in Afghanistan and is always quick to do what he
can for a good cause.
Maritime artists like Dave Gunning,
Darren McMullen, Douglas Cameron
and many others have benefited from
his assistance and patient guidance. His
charity work is endless. He once raised
four tons of food for Feed Nova Scotia.
A man well aware of the plight of
the needy, he celebrates his birthday
each year with a fundraising concert
for Christmas Daddies in Cape Breton.

Leverne Nauss, left, and Linnet Finlay of the Mahone Bay Quilters Guild display some
of their group’s creations in preparation for the annual Cuddle Quilt Day being held
January 31 at Trinity United Church in Mahone Bay from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is
invited to help or to view the finished quilts that will be displayed in the church. No
quilting experience is necessary. Completed works will be donated to various hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities. Last year’s event saw the completion of over
130 quilts.

The Lunenburg Foundation for the
Arts will present “For the Love of Earl”
at the Lunenburg Art Gallery on February 14 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Spokesperson Sue Kelly said the event
will be part of the foundation’s concerted
effort to return the art collection of noted
Lunenburg painter Earl Bailly to a place
of prominence in the hearts and minds
of the people of the town and surrounding area.
“We have over 75 pieces in the public
domain, some of which have not been
seen to be appreciated for many years,”
she explained. “The rationale behind this
is that there are numerous Bailly paintings around town, in storage and in private collections that could be enjoyed by
the public in the middle of the winter.”
Garry Woodcock, the unofficial caretaker of the public collection of Bailly art
in Lunenburg, will curate this show.

“He will be giving a brief overview
of Earl’s life midway through the afternoon,” she said.
Ms Kelly said it will be a wine and
cheese event with a Valentine’s theme.
Admission is free and there will be a cash
bar.
Mr. Bailly, born in Lunenburg in 1903,
contracted polio at age three and was
rendered a paraplegic. His mother taught
him to write by holding a pencil in his
mouth. Later, he turned to drawing and
painting and manipulating tools with his
mouth.
Although he dabbled in various mediums, he is best known for his work in oils,
which focused on seascapes and the world
around his hometown of Lunenburg.
Mr. Bailly gained international recognition for his art and was invited to
travel aboard the Bluenose to appear at
the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1933.
He was named a life member of the
Nova Scotia Society for Artists and was
awarded an honorary doctorate by St.
Francis Xavier University in Antigonish.

it’s got four inter-connected structures
which favours multiple use,” he said,
adding that the building also favours
phased development.
Among his recommendations, Mr. Arnott suggested the society work with
MODL as a development partner, create a
project development plan and engage the
community.
“We passionately believe in the fact
that if we start this, it isn’t just for
us — it will transform the community
and offer so many benefits,” said Liesje
Wagner, member of the South Shore Centre for the Performing and Visual Arts
Society.
“There are a tremendous amount of
people who are involved in arts, and
they love it and there aren’t enough opportunities for them so, therefore, they
leave. These are the creative thinkers. We
need to keep our creative thinkers here

told council.
The Municipality of Lunenburg,
which owns the former school, hasn’t
made any formal commitments to the
society but demonstrated its support for
the arts and consideration for the project.
The municipality has plans to complete an environmental assessment and
building-condition assessment of the former school.
Former NHLer Theo Fleury
coming to Bridgewater
Former NHL star turned best-selling

Mr. Fleury’s second book, “Conversations with a Rattlesnake,” was released
in November and is the result of hours
of conversation with well-known therapist Kim Barthel.
It’s an intimate look at Mr. Fleury’s
own journey to overcome trauma, as
well as a guide for others who’ve experienced abuse.

In 2009, Mr. Fleury revealed he’d been
sexually abused by a junior hockey
coach which was the subject of his first
book, “Playing with Fire.”
It became a best-seller, and, since
then, Mr. Fleury has been a passionate
advocate for survivors of abuse.
Mr. Fleury and Ms Barthel are in the

High Liner buoyed by a tide
of marketing and acquisitions
Fishing moratorium forced the company to chart a new course
By GAYLE WILSON
M@LHNOWnews
I
n the early 1990s, the federal government’s moratorium on northern
cod fishing put fishing companies
throughout Atlantic Canada in turbulent financial waters. Many went under,
while others were on the verge of capsizing.
However, the iconic, Lunenburg-based
High Liner Foods managed to defeat the
odds and chart a course toward breathtaking sales that were unimaginable at
the time.
High Liner Foods, which changed its
name from National Sea Products in
1999, now declares itself the leading
North American processor and marketer of value-added frozen fish and frozen
seafood. It also claims to be second largest in the food-services industry in the
U.S. and third largest in the world.
Its branded products are sold throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico under the High Liner, Fisher Boy, Mirabel, Sea Cuisine and C.Wirthy labels
and are available in most grocery and
club stores. It also sells products under
the High Liner, Icelandic Seafood, FPI
Brand, Viking, Mirabel, Samband of Iceland and American Pride Seafood labels
to restaurants and institutions. It’s a
major supplier of private-label, valueadded premium frozen seafood products
to North American food retailers and
food service distributors.
This year, the publicly traded company expects to reach sales of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, up from about $250
million 15 yeas ago. It’s an impressive
haul for a fishing company that could
have drowned.
In the flush times of the mid-1980s,
National Sea Products’ 14 plants and 50
or so trawlers were reeling in and processing 300 million pounds of fish and
seafood, which it exported to Europe and
Japan. By 1993, that figure was down to
just 15 million pounds, and the company
was in crisis mode.
RURAL
Describing the moratorium as “life
threatening” for the company, Henry Demone, High Liner’s chief executive officer, told LighthouseNOW it was also the
impetus for change that has helped make
High Liner Foods the success it is now.
It forced the company to focus on
brands and value added products.
“That was the platform on which we
built the High Liner of today,” said Mr.
Demone.
However, it wasn’t a painless or quick
process. In the mid-1990s, the company
was still hoping to retain some of its
fishing business until stocks recovered
and set out to slash operating costs,
closing nine plants in Atlantic Canada
and one in the U.S. and laying off 5,000
of its 5,500 employees. The Lunenburg
operation itself remained relatively unscathed.
The strategy worked well enough to
keep the company afloat, said Mr. Demone, but the reaction was “extremely
negative.”
“Premiers were yelling at me and
saying, ‘What the hell are you doing?’”
recalled the chief executive.
“I think, in the end though, people
said, ‘Okay, it’s a fishing company without any fish. What do they do, just give
up?’”
On the contrary, High Liner aggressively sought new sources of fish and
seafood from Scandinavia, Russia and
Alaska. The National Sea Company had
built up a reputable, worldwide name
and was able to capitalize on this by establishing and solidifying valuable supply connections.
The company also started approaching things from the customer perspective. That is, it began to investigate
value-added product and branding strategies to retain and, indeed, expand market share in the retail and food-services
industries.
The National Sea Company morphed
into High Liner Foods at the end of the
decade. By 2000, the company had decided it couldn’t wait for fishing stocks
in this country to recover if it wanted
to continue on its growth path. It started
taking steps to sell off its fishing fleet,
handing over its scallop trawler, for one,
to Clearwater for a cool $60 million, according to Mr. Demone.
That just left the value-added end of
the business.
“But a strong balance sheet and no
debt,” emphasized Mr. Demone. “And
that’s when we started to acquire our
value-added competitors.”

SWOT analysis
Two new bookstores to open in Lunenburg
By ROBERT HIRTLE
M@LunenburgNews
A pair of new, but different,
bookstores are about to open
practically next door to each
other in downtown Lunenburg.
Michael Higgins said his venture, which he calls “Lunenburg
Bound,” will be located off Montague Street in the building that
houses the Smuggler’s Cove Inn.
He said his stock will be primarily comprised of used books;
however, there will be some new
volumes that will cater to specific audiences.
“I’m going to be a bit more
nautical, a bit more general literature, to sort of appeal to the
visitors here in the summer and
the people who are living here
as summer residents,” he explained. “You know, some of the
local history, the culture, seafaring and shipbuilding, which is
something I’m quite interested
in.”
The store, which opens in
May, will also sell items such as
gifts, stationery and wrapping
paper.
“And there’ll be some coffee,
definitely. We want people to feel
like it’s a comfortable place,” he
said. “We’ll have a couch and a
chair and you can come and read
some books, have a coffee and
browse.”
Right now, Mr. Higgins is

Dear God,

Doesn’t need to be spoken,
It’s a wonderful bond

that day
God was going to call
your name,
In life we loved you
dearly
In death we loved you
the same.
It broke our hearts to
lose you
You did not go alone,
For part of us went
with you
The day God called
you home.
You left us beautiful
memories
Your love is still our
guide,
And although we cannot see you
You’re always by our
side.
Our family chain is
broken
And nothing seems
the same,
But as God calls us
one by one
Our chain will link
again.
Lovingly remembered
and sadly missed by

You were a husband
in a million
I really loved you so,
You’re still mine to
remember
A husband proud to

To hear your voice, to
see you smile
To sit and talk with
you awhile,
To be together in the
same old way
Would be my dearest
wish today.
The time we had Dad
Wasn’t nearly enough,
I have to admit that I
was a daddy’s girl
And just feel so grateful,
For all your love that I
received.
There have been thousands of times,
When I’ve wished you
were still here
Although we never
got to meet you
grampie.
We know you are
watching us grow
We will always have
an angel watching
over us,
We are proud to call
him grampie
Deep in our hearts
there’s a memory
kept.
For a husband, father
and grampie we’ll
never forget.

As time unfolds another
year,
You were such a special

God must have thought
so too,
Because he took you
from us
Even though we needed
you.
You will live forever in
our hearts
And when we cease to
think of you,
It will be because God
called us too.
Too young to die
Too precious to lose,
But when God calls us
We cannot choose.

Lunenburg approves funding for new aerial truck
New unit should arrive by fall
By ROBERT HIRTLE
M@LunenburgNews
Lunenburg council has approved its
portion of funding for a new aerial truck
for the town’s fire department.
In 2010, the department began looking
at replacing the current aerial truck, a
1994 model that was purchased seven
years ago.
In his report to council, fire chief Darren Romkey said that over the past several years the department has gathered
a wealth of information on which trucks
are available and what its membership
feels are necessary features.
The turning point came when council
approved spending $750,000, 60 per cent
of which would be paid by the town and
40 per cent by the District 1 and 2 Fire
Commission, in its 2014 capital budget.
Those funds, along with a commitment of up to $100,000 from the department allowed for the drawing up and
distribution of a request for proposals
(RFP).
Three companies responded by last
November’s deadline. Two bids were
within $4,000 of each other but the third
was more than $85,000 above the second
highest tender.
“Unfortunately, due to the dropping
Canadian dollar, when the proposals
came back we were slightly over budget
on the base truck,” chief Romkey reported.
He said that after the change in price
the department looked at several in-stock
or demo units; however, it was determined these trucks would not suit their
needs without several additions.
Also, the company that had submitted
the highest tender reviewed its specs and
determined there had been some double
pricing and other errors that allowed it
to lower its price and put it back in the
running.
Chief Romkey said that the truck committee met again in December and reviewed all three RFPs, determining that
while all bidding companies are capable
of building a truck suitable to the depart-
ment’s needs, one had an edge in overall
He said the other truck had an arrival
