GUYSBOROUGH – Municipal government is
often touted as being
the level of government
closest to the people.
That may be why there
is such a great deal of
interest in the upcoming
by-election in the Municipality of the District
of Guysborough for the
recently vacated District
3 seat. District 3, which
covers the Boylston to
Aulds Cove area, was left
vacant upon the passing
of long-standing councillor Myles MacPherson.
MacPherson had held the
seat for 29 years. The
following residents filed
nomination papers for
the by-election: Courtney
Kinney, Neil DeCoff, Karen McNulty and Debbie
Ross.
In order to run for a
municipal seat all nominees have to be nominated by five rate payers
within the district. These
citizens must sign the
nomination papers of the
nominee. Each nominee
must also pay a $200
filing fee and obtain a tax
certificate from the municipal treasurer stating
that the nominee’s local
taxes are in good standing.
Voting day is Saturday,
May 9. Advance polling
will take place on Thursday, April 30 and Tuesday,
May 5.
Guysborough County harbours get federal funding
Peter MacKay, Regional
Minister for Nova Scotia
and MP for Central Nova
announced Saturday
that the Government of
Canada will invest more
than $10 million over the
next two years in harbour
improvement projects at
seven Nova Scotia harbours, including several
in Guysborough County.
The funding is intended
to help provide a safer
and more efficient working environment for local
fishermen and harbour
users.
Local projects include:
•• Marie Joseph – constructing a wharf ex-
tension complete with
the electrical services
•• Owls Head – replacing
a deteriorated wharf
with a new structure
and removing the
remnants of an old
breakwater
•• Port Bickerton East –
completing work that
started last year which
consists of constructing two service areas
and a slipway, installing floating wharves,
and dredging
•• Sonora – replacing
a deteriorated wharf
and constructing a
launching ramp to improve harbour access
•• Arisaig – replacing a
deteriorating wharf
•• Ballantyne’s Cove –
replacing a barricaded wharf with a new
structure complete
with a new electrical
system and dredging
of the basin
•• Havre Boucher – con-
structing a new wharf,
dredging to expand
the basin area, constructing a service
area, and installing
floating wharves and a
new electrical system

contribution seniors have
made to our society and
the economy. By supporting New Horizons for
Seniors Program projects

nities. These repairs and
improvements will allow
our seniors to continue

Editorial
Last budget before
the big show
As we look at the Parliamentary calendar, it appears
as though the tabling of the Federal Budget on Tuesday by Finance Minister Joe Oliver could well turn out
to be one of the last major policy pieces put forward
by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative
government in Parliament. With the election scheduled for October, one would think that there would be
little chance that Parliament will sit in September as
normally scheduled. A fact that has no doubt been
long noted in the minds of all the federal leaders.
For the Tories, many of the familiar themes in
budgets past and present such as tax splitting, lower
taxes for middle class and small business, support
for seniors, more money for security and keeping the
books balanced, will no doubt be part of the Conservative Party’s election platform.
So while we should expect that a tactician such as
Stephen Harper will hold a few policy announcements
for the election campaign, it looks like the PM and
his party will position themselves as good managers of the economy as chief among their themes for
re-election.
The Prime Minister’s biggest challenge between
now and the election campaign is to try to stay clear
of the circus that is the Mike Duffy trial. That may
prove difficult as some of his former staff including
his former Chief of Staff Nigel Wright will be offering
testimony. While there is practically no chance that
Mr. Harper will have to testify, the trial itself is hardly
the back drop he would like the summer before an
election.
The NDP and its leader Thomas Mulcair seemed
to have found their footing. For months it appeared
that the NDP would get trampled by the Liberals and
lose much of their 2011 election gains, especially
in Quebec. Part of the reason for the hesitancy may
be that the public, and especially those progressives
who would normally support the NDP, were a bit unsure about Mulcair. Granted he is no Jack Layton but
now that he has come forward with a more traditional
NDP stand on the war against terror as well as distinct policies on wages and daycare, his supporters at
least seem to be much more comfortable with him.
Mulcair is also an expert debater and no shrinking
violet when it comes to facing off against Stephen
Harper or anybody else. Whether he can build on or
even hold the gains made by Jack Layton in 2011 remains to be seen but clearly Mulcair is looking more
comfortable these days.
For Justin Trudeau and the Liberals, by October
they could be running the country or stuck in third
place. Such is the life with an untested new Leader.
While it’s clear that Trudeau has many of the intangibles that you want in a leader these days, his
positions on policy are either unknown or nuanced so
as not to be in direct opposition to the government’s
fundamental position on such things as lower taxes
for the middle class.
In 1993 Jean Chretien had a similar problem in
that the country was not sure if he could be Prime
Minister, partly owing to unknown policy positions
of he and his party. He got around that problem
by producing the Liberal Red Book, which outlined
Liberal policy priorities. The rest of course is history.
Will Trudeau follow suit? Its hard to say but he needs
something to help him appear more comfortable in
articulating Liberal policy.
Finally there is Elizabeth May. The leader of the
Green Party will be one to watch. The Greens could
raise havoc in British Columbia and perhaps elsewhere. They could pick up a couple of seats in BC’s
lower mainland and Vancouver Island. We expect they
will certainly increase their vote totals which could significantly affect the final results on election night. Add
to that Ms. May’s inclusion in the Leaders’ debates
and she will be sure to leave her mark. A scenario not
to be discounted could see a coalition government
of Liberals, NDP and Greens in order to supplant the
Tories - with Ms. May holding all the cards.
So while the budget is the big news these days,
we may look back at it as the beginning of the final
stretch towards an election that may be one for the
ages.
Spring into walking and NS Walk Day
There are many reasons
to walk. Whether it’s to
spend time with friends,
clear your head, discover a new trail, manage
weight and get from here
to there walking is an
activity for all of us.
There are many benefits to walking. Walking
is relaxing, relieves
stress, tension and
helps clear your mind
and problem solve.
When I go for a walk
on my lunch break my
productivity increases
and I have more energy
to get through my to do
list. Walking helps maintain a healthy weight
and positive body image
along with providing major health benefits, even
in people who remain
overweight because their
rates of heart disease,
stroke and other chronic
diseases decreases.
We are designed to
move. More than half
the body’s muscles are
designed for walking; it
is natural movement that
is virtually injury-free.
Physical activity such as
walking helps prevent
certain chronic diseases
such as heart disease,
hypertension, stroke,
type II diabetes, certain
cancers, and others.
There are many
different ways to enjoy
walking. Walk-About-NS
suggests you can mix
it up a little with one of
the following:
•• Be a speed walker.
Increase the speed
of your walking to
a comfortable pace
without losing your
walking form. You
should breathe normally and pump your
arms for an added
aerobic workout. Be
sure you’re ready for
this level of intensity
and start with short
bursts at first.
•• Challenge yourself
with incline. The most
intense form of walking is going uphill or
climbing stairs. It’s a
good idea to perform
additional stretches
before you start on
the hills or stairs, as
climb walking puts
extra strain on the
stomach, buttocks,
lower back and leg
muscles.
•• Nordic walking.
Known by some as
urban poling, Nordic
walking uses specifically designed
poles to engage the
upper body. Nordic
walking was first
used as a summer
training method by
cross-country skiers and is excellent
training for people
who are looking for
an outdoor sport. It
has less impact on
the body than running
and takes your walk
to the next level,
burning more calories and using more
muscles.
•• Walking in water. The
resistance provided
by walking in a pool
greatly increases the
difficulty to move.
Water walking is an
intense workout with
less strain on the
joints.
•• Walking is a great way
to get you where you
need to go, whether it’s a walk to the
park, to the store or
to/from work. It’s a
form of active transportation.
Every year the Heart
& Stroke Foundation
organizes a NS Walk
Day. Their goal is to help
Nova Scotians discover
the magic of walking and
realize the physical and
mental benefits of walking within their communities. It’s about changing
the way we think about
walking. This year we will
be joining the Heart and
Stroke Foundation on
their quest. The Municipality of the District of
Guysborough recreation
department wants to
help put feet back on
the streets and walking
back in the hearts and
minds of community
members.
The recreation department would like to walk
with you on NS WALK
DAY – Wednesday, May
13 at noon. Please meet
us at the Court House
Museum parking lot in
Guysborough. We will
be walking the shoreline
trail and encourage you,
your family, co-workers
and businesses to join
us. Refreshments to
follow after our walk.
Contact Christina Bowie
at cbowie@modg.ca if
you need more information. Hope to see you
there.

Cold-water paddling in NS
Spring is a popular time
of year for paddlers to
start getting back on
the water. After a long
winter you blow the dust
off your paddles, pull
the boats out of the
garage and spend that
first warm Saturday out
paddling. Whether you
are running the river
during the spring flood,
sea kayaking around the
bay or trying to hook that
first trout of the season
from your canoe, after
a long and cold winter
what better way to spend
a sunny spring day.
However, each spring
Canoe Kayak Nova
Scotia (CKNS) hears
stories of people getting
into trouble on the water.
Stories of experienced
paddlers and strong
swimmers who couldn’t
rescue themselves. Stories that too often end in
tragedy. While the days
are getting longer and
the air is getting warmer,
the water temperature is
still dangerous.
We encourage all
paddlers to invest in
skilled instruction before
heading out on the
water. Know your limits
and ask yourself critical
questions before your
adventure. There is no
substitute for knowledge,
skill and attitude when it
comes to being safe on
the water.
CKNS provides some
resources about cold
water paddling, but we
encourage all paddlers
to take a Paddle Canada
course and receive First
Aid training. Also, CKNS
is hosting a free event
in collaboration with the
JRCC and Search and
Rescue on April 27 to
connect paddlers to the
people who are on the
other end of the line
when we radio channel
16 on our VHF or call
*16 from a cell phone.

Murphy’s Law
By Helen Murphy
And
I may be in a minority in
being impressed with the
health care I receive. I
don’t have much experience with the system
writ large, but I have to
say I am happy with my
new family physician. She
does something really
strange: She calls me.
the beat goes on
She’ll call to see how
a new medication is working out or have her office
call to get me to come in
for a check up.
That’s how I came to
see her before work this
morning.
The visit was almost
done when the hard part
came. She wanted to
check my blood pressure.
But with the armband
on and pumped up tight,
she had trouble hearing
a pulse.
Legislation introduced to ban flavoured tobacco
Legislation introduced
on April 17 will ban the
sale of flavoured tobacco
in Nova Scotia, including menthol, with minor
exceptions.
“The health and
safety of Nova Scotians,
especially our youth, is
our number one priority,”
said Health and Wellness
Minister Leo Glavine.
“We are banning the sale
of flavoured tobacco to
discourage a culture of
tobacco use among Nova
Scotians and protect
their health.”
The ban will include
flavoured papers for
rolling tobacco, and
flavoured tobacco products that are not smoked,
such as chewing tobacco
and snuff. The regulations will exempt the
following:
•• port, rum, wine and
whiskey flavoured
cigars that weigh five
grams or more and
cost $4 or more
•• e-cigarettes and
e-juice
“While we still have
concerns about e-cigarettes and e-juice, we
agree with stakeholders
that further regulation of
these products should
be done nationally by the
federal government,” said
Glavine. “We strongly
encourage our federal
partners to take swift
action.”
The Department of
Health and Wellness
consulted with tobacco
and e-cigarette vendors,
health groups, youth and
the public on flavoured
tobacco and e-cigarettes
from January to March.
The information gathered
helped determine government’s direction on the
products. A report of the
consultation results is
available on the department’s website.
Central Nova Report
Victims’ Week
By Peter MacKay
Next week marks the
10th anniversary of
the National Victims
of Crime Awareness
Week—also known as
‘Victims’ Week’. This
year’s theme is “Shaping
the Future Together”,
and it recognizes the
actions taken by victims, dedicated criminal
justice professionals
and volunteers, victim
service providers, and
all levels of government
to shape a future that
gives victims of crime a
meaningful voice in our
criminal justice system.
From April 19 to 25,
Canadians will recognize
these actions.
Those who have felt
the devastating impact
of victimization must be
supported and made
aware that the justice
system and a network of
services and programs
are there to help them.
Since 2006, our Conservative Government
has made it a priority to
stand up for victims of
crime instead of focusing
on the rights of criminals. I am proud to say
that we have introduced
and passed several important pieces of legislation that have put victims
first.
Most notably, our
Government introduced
Bill C-32, the Canadian
Victims Bill of Rights.
This legislation would
create four clear statutory rights for victims, a
first in Canadian history
and I am eager to see
it receive Royal Assent
soon. We have also
taken action to protect
Canadians, particular-
ly youth, from online
exploitation, and passed
laws that better protect
Canadians from not
criminally responsible
(NCR) accused persons
and to ensure tough
sentences for those who
take advantage of elderly
Canadians.
Our Government will
continue to stand up for
victims of crime and to
ensure that they have
a strong voice in our
criminal justice system.
I encourage all Canadians to take this Victims
Week as an opportunity
to reflect on the meaningful changes we have
made together in the last
decade for victims of
crime across this great
country. By holding offenders accountable and
enhancing the rights of
victims of crime, we are
shaping a future in which
victims have a real voice
in our criminal justice
system.

She was sure it was
there somewhere.
“You’re alive,” she
said, as reason for her
confidence.
I figured there was a
pulse there too. Sometimes you just sense
these things, intuitively.
She lifted my hand in
the air and held it there
for about a minute. Then
she lowered it and started pumping up the arm
band again.
“Let’s see if this trick
works,” she said. She
was determined to find
a heartbeat. I was fairly
committed myself.
Finally, it happened.
“It’s really low, but
it’s there,” she said with
a sense of accomplishment.
And with that, I was
free to go back to work,
happy in the knowledge
that I do indeed have a
heartbeat -- confirmed by
my tax dollars at work.
I figured my boss
would be pleased with
this news as well -- especially on a Monday
morning. But she might
ask for a doctor’s note, to
make it official.

More spaces for Early Intensive
Behavioural Analysis program
Amendment to Fisheries and
Coastal Resources Act
Children with autism
preparing to start school
in 2016 at age six will
benefit from the Early
Intensive Behavioural
Intervention program.
In September government will add between
20 and 25 new spaces
in the program, creating
a total of 110 spaces.
This means 110 children
will be able to receive the
program each year.
Government will now
be investing a total of
$10 million each year in
this program.
“Before, our daughter
would enter a crowded
room, go to a corner and
put her fingers in her
ears. Now she walks in
and wants to be the centre of attention,” said Lori

An amendment to the
Fisheries and Coastal
Resources Act will allow
a financial contribution to
be collected on the sale
of lobster, if the industry
chooses to implement
one.
The financial contribution was recommended
by the Maritime Lobster
Panel and was supported
by attendees at the Lobster Summit in 2014.
Under the current
legislation, there is
no authority to make
regulations for a lobster
financial contribution.
Amending the legislation
will allow the creation of

the contribution.

day of school, she was
the first one in line and
overall she’s transitioned
into school seamlessly.”
There are currently 25
children on the waitlist
who will enter school at
age six in 2016.
“As parents, we all
want what’s best for our
children. For children
with autism, this program
provides the best start
possible before they begin school,” said Health
and Wellness Minister
Leo Glavine.
“I recognize it can be
a difficult choice for some
families to delay school
entry, but this program
provides valuable skills
that will better prepare
these children for the
learning environment at
school.”
Last fall, Glavine appointed an expert panel
to review the program to
ensure the province was
providing the best treat-
@GysboroJournal
ment possible to children
with autism before they
start school.
The panel concluded
that the program is effective in helping children
develop communications
skills, follow directions,
pay attention and control
their emotions. These
skills are often very
weak or non-existent for
children with autism, and
they are important for
success at school.
The report is available
at novascotia.ca/dhw.
“Giving children the
best start in the early
years will help them
reach their full potential,”
said Glavine.
The Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention program began in 2005, to
help children with autism
get treatment before they
entered school. At the
time, about one in 150
people were diagnosed
with autism, according to
the Center for Disease
Control in Atlanta.
That number has now
more than doubled, with
an estimated one in 68
people being diagnosed.

of the province’s rural
economy and is the
strongest fishery in the
province,” said Fisheries
and Aquaculture Minister Keith Colwell. “If the
lobster industry chooses
to implement a financial
contribution, in any form,
we first need to amend
our legislation to allow
the province to collect it
for them.”
An industry contribution could be used to
promote and develop the
lobster fishery, ensuring
its exports are strong,
for the industry and for
the provincial economy.
Consultations were
held across Nova Scotia
between Jan. 20 and
March 3, so members
of the lobster industry
could share their views
on an industry-led contribution and discuss
what it could be used for.
Government found that
industry had yet to reach
a consensus about how
to implement the financial contribution. Discussions will continue with
industry so that they can
chart a path forward. The
report is available at:
www.novascotia.ca/fish.
Nova Scotia will continue to work with New
Brunswick and Prince
Edward Island to ensure
the regulations for collecting the financial contribution are consistent
across the Maritimes.

Chedabucto Curling Club celebrates past presidents
In 1963 a group of
community-minded
individuals had the great
idea that Boylston and
its surrounding region
should be able to enjoy
the sport of curling
therefore they set about
establishing a rink.
To recognize the 29
individuals who have
held the position of
Chedabucto Curling
Club President over its
52-year history, a plaque
was recently purchased
to display their names.
That acquisition was
made possible through
the donations of Hope
Wright, in memory of
her husband Earl Wright
(1967), and of Haliburton PharmaChoice /
Guysborough Pharmacy
(Terry Haliburton), in
memory of Joseph Dort
(1977).
At the Past Presidents’ plaque’s presenta-
tion during the rink’s season closing dinner and
awards ceremony nine of
the Chedabucto Curling

Make your phone charge last longer
How long does a charge
last on your smartphone? A few days or a
few hours? If you’re only
getting a few hours out
of it then these tips are
for you. They all apply
to newer iPhones and
Androids.
Change your wallpaper to straight black.
New phones have what’s
called an AMOLED
screen. Each pixel on an
AMOLED screen is its
own little light bulb, so
to speak. So instead of
blending colours to make
black, the screen just
turns off the bulb wherever black should appear.
Using a black background
can turn off over 50
percent of your screen.
So it’s like turning off
half the lights in your
home - you use a lot less
power. You can download
a black wallpaper from
http://guymcdowell.
com/?p=149.
Turn off services.
Your smartphone is
capable of using WiFi,
Bluetooth, and GPS as
well as connecting to the
cellular network. Each
of these services uses
a surprising amount of
power - even more if they
aren’t connected to anything. They keep calling
out trying to connect to
a WiFi router, Bluetooth
device, or GPS signal.
It’s like a dog constantly
barking, hoping someone will bark back. So if
you’re not using these
services, turn them off. If
you’re going to be in an
area where there is no
cell signal, you might as
well turn the phone off
completely. Just like the
other services, the cell
phone part of your device
will constantly call out to
try to find a signal, even
though there just isn’t
one. It uses a tremendous amount of power
to do this. It can kill a
battery in just an hour or
two.
Change your screen

stays lit for a few minutes
when you’re not using it,
that’s too long. Go into

can easily add another

Nova Scotians’ energy efficiency
efforts a breath of fresh air
Nova Scotians have
something to celebrate
on Earth Day 2015.
Together, we’ve significantly reduced our carbon
footprint simply by being
more energy efficient.
Nova Scotians’ energy
efficiency efforts to date
have reduced our carbon
output by more than
650,000 tonnes. The
reduction in carbon emissions is equivalent to taking 130,000 cars off the
road. “Nova Scotians are
leading by example when
it comes to addressing
climate change, and
they’re doing so through
energy efficiency,” said
Amelia Warren, spokesperson for Efficiency Nova
Scotia. “We’re now home
to Canada’s first energy
efficiency utility – other
provinces are watching
what’s happening here.”
Legislative changes
introduced in 2014 mean
energy efficiency now
competes with other
fuels in Nova Scotia’s
electricity mix, so the
more energy efficiency we
generate, the less coal
we need. Reducing our
dependence on coal is
critical in our fight against
climate change.
With no emissions
and no power plants,
energy efficiency isn’t
just our greenest fuel,
it’s also the cheapest. It
costs only three cents to
save a kilowatt-hour of
electricity, compared to
around 12 cents to use
that same amount.
For Earth Day 2015,
Nova Scotians can further reduce their carbon
footprint by taking advantage of in-store discounts
on a wide range of energy
efficient products at more
than 200 retail locations
across the province. The
discounts are part of
Efficiency Nova Scotia’s
Instant Savings campaign, which runs until
May 17th.
“By choosing energy
efficient products, you’re
making a choice that’s
good for the planet and
good for your wallet,”
says Warren. “Small
changes add up to big
savings.”
Last year, Nova Scotians purchased more
than 275,000 energy
efficient products during
Instant Savings, saving
more than $1 million

of the Year had been
chosen to attend festivities in Halifax and they

Nova Scotians asked to prepare for Spring floods
With the considerable
amount of snow and ice
still on the ground in
many parts of the province, there is a risk of
flooding as temperatures
rise.
“Some communities
are experiencing localized flooding, and as
it gets warmer, more
and more communities
are at risk of flooding,”
said Mark Furey, minister responsible for the
Emergency Management
Office. “We encourage
Nova Scotians to try to
protect their property
and prepare for flooding.
This includes keeping
storm drains clear of
snow and ensuring water
can drain away from
dwellings and basements.”
If a home is flooded,

Bill sets timeline to close
Boat Harbour
Legislation was introduced on April 17 to
close the Boat Harbour
Effluent Treatment Facility in Pictou County in
January 2020.
Last June, a leak
was discovered in the
pipeline carrying wastewater from the mill to
the treatment facility at
Boat Harbour. Meetings
between the government
and the Pictou Landing
First Nation led to government promising to put
a timeline for the closure
of the treatment facility
into law within a year.
“I’m cautiously optimistic,” said Pictou Landing First Nation Chief
Andrea Paul. “I have the
personal assurance of
Premier Stephen McNeil
that the treatment facility
will be closed this time.”
By 2020, the treatment facility will stop receiving wastewater from
the mill. Planning for the
remediation of Boat Harbour is already underway,
and some parts of the
estuary could be treated
earlier to test different
••
technologies.
“This government is
committed to removing
this environmental scar
and making Boat Harbour a place the community can enjoy once
again,” said Internal
Services Minister Labi
Kousoulis.
The treatment facility
has been operating for
almost 50 years and Pictou Landing First Nation
has long advocated for
its closure.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!
You may have seen the
advertisement for the
infamous Chia pet. They
come in Daffy Duck, the
Tazmanian Devil, you can
even get one that looks
like Si Robertson. But did
you know that chia seeds
are actually a nutrition
powerhouse? Yes, those
little seeds you spread
on that Chia pet, you can
eat them! Why would I
want to eat them? you
might say to yourself.
Well, there are many
nutrition related benefits
to eating the humble little
chia seed.
Chia seeds (Salvia
Hispanica) come from
the Salvia plant, which is
actually a member of the
mint family. They have
been harvested for centuries by the Aztecs and
Mayans as a part of the
regular diets, but have
had a recent resurgence
in popularity and have
been popping up on grocery store shelves and in
products more and more
each year.
Chia seeds are a rich
source of omega-3 fatty
acids, antioxidants, fibre,
vitamins and minerals. In
fact, in just two table-
spoons of chia seeds,
you get 100 percent
of your daily value of
omega-3 fatty acids,
which help maintain heart
health, healthy blood
pressure and cholesterol
levels. They are also rich
in fibre; per two tablespoon serving they have
seven grams of fibre, 30
percent of our daily value.
Fibre helps improve
digestive function, as well
as contribute to heart
health. They also contain
protein. The combination
of protein and fibre help
keep us feeling fuller
longer, which help control
weight.
If you’ve ever put a
chia seed in your mouth,
you notice that it swells.
When Chia seeds swell,
they form a gel-like
consistency, which helps
push waste out of our
bodies and maintain
healthy digestion.
So what do you do
with chia seeds?
•• Add them to cereals,
granola, or yogurt
•• Mix 3 tbsp chia seeds
with 1 cup of milk of
your choice (chocolate
milk works nicely). Stir

and let sit for about
30 minutes, and you
have instant pudding
that tastes great and
is good for you. Add
some berries, sliced
almonds and coconut
and you have a fibre
packed dessert.
•• Add to smoothies to
keep smooth texture
and boost nutrition
•• Add to muffins and
quick breads to add
fibre
•• Like flax seed, use
as an egg replacer in
recipes. 1 tbsp=1 egg:
combine 1 tbsp chia
seeds with 3 tbsp water. Mix and let stand
for 30 minutes, or
until gel has formed.
(With flax seed, grind
first).
Why not grab some
chia seeds and try
some? You just might
love them! And if not
you’ll have some extra on
hand to keep your Chia
pet’s hair growing for
years and years.

Our family has been broken,
A link gone from our chain.
Though we’re parted for awhile,
We know we’ll meet again.
Someday we hope to meet you,
Someday we know not when.
We shall meet in a better land,
And never part again.
We shall meet many a loved one,
That was torn from our embrace.
We will listen to their voices,
And behold them face to face.
Sunshine passes, shadows fall,
Love remembrance outlast all.
And though the years be many or few,
They are filled with remembrances of you.
Missed and lovingly remembered by sister Marie,
Dave Rhynold and family,
