Firefighters use Lunenburg’s aerial truck to douse the flames that razed on home on the Grimm Road in Crouses Settlement February 8. Officials say the blaze began in a clothes dryer and spread quickly through the house and at-tached garage, also claiming a car that was parked inside. The homeowner escaped unharmed.

CROUSES SETTLEMENT — A smoke detector may have saved the life of a woman whose home in Crouses Settlement was destroyed by fire February 8.
Officials say the blaze began with a clothes dryer in the attached garage of the single-storey home at 790 Grimm Road around 6:45 p.m.
The 75-year-old woman who lived there was asleep on the couch at the time, Dayspring and district Fire Chief Stanley Slauenwhite said. Despite being hard of hearing the woman was alerted by the alarm and escaped as the fire spread.
She and a neighbour called 911.
By the time firefighters arrived on the scene, both the house and garage were engulfed. A car parked in-side the garage was also lost.
“Once the car caught on fire and everything else, that just intensified everything right away,” Chief Slauenwhite said.
Dayspring was joined at the scene by firefighters from Lunenburg, Riverport and Bridgewater. Four other departments stood by back-filling at neighbour-ing stations.
EHS paramedics and the RCMP were also on site. Nova Scotia Power responded to the scene to deal with a live wire down on the property.

Transportationdepartment predicts cable ferry crossings
resume Valentine’s Day
Not ready for service just yet
By KEITH [email protected]
COUNTY — It may be Valentine’s Day before the cable ferry that commonly crosses the LaHave River between the communities of LaHave and East LaHave is back in operation.
A large hydraulic pump, which turns wheels in the ferry’s hull where the cable runs through, isn’t working properly. The problem was discovered during recent sea trials.
“Mechanical equipment is prone to failure so we don’t know what caused it but it happened … and now we’re left with mitigating the situation the best we can,” said Dan Leopold, a fleet management director with the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Re-newal, the provincial agency responsible for the Brady E. Himmelman ferry.
A replacement pump will be rebuilt, installed and tested once it arrives from the manufacturer. It now means the department predicts crossings may resume February 14.
There’s two hydraulic pumps on the vessel. The gear that operates equipment such as the ramps and anchor winch is working fine, Mr. Leopold said. The ferry’s sea trials could last an hour or so.
“We’re going to check pressures on all the pumps just to make sure everything looks appropriate in both for-ward and reverse, if you will,” Mr. Leopold said. “Once that happens, we’re going to do all the rest of our other regular maintenance checks … if everything looks good we’ll be back in business essentially.”
The Brady E. Himmelman’s been out of service since January 3 when it ran aground in Lower LaHave after pressure of ice conditions in the LaHave River unwound its cable from a drum, setting the vessel adrift.
The ferry’s captain and engineer and the sole pas-senger, Chas Bennett, were aboard when the incident occurred. No one was hurt. Three vehicles were also on board the Brady E. Himmelman at time.

CRASH INVOLVES SCHOOL BUSThe driver of a Hyundai Tucson involved in this February 5 crash with a school bus in Bridgewater is facing a Motor Vehicle Act charge in relation to the case, police say. “Police allege the driver failed to stop at the red light as he was proceeding westbound on Victoria Road thereby striking the southbound school bus,” the Bridgewater Police Service said in a statement released February 7. The bus and the Tucson collided at the corner of Victoria Road and York Street. There were no serious injuries to the adult female bus driver nor the 17 students aboard. The sole occupant of the Tucson, an adult male, was also not badly hurt. The Park View Education Centre students were loaded onto another bus to continue with end-of-school-day drop-offs. Traffic was temporarily re-routed away from the area as police investigated.

COUNTY — Cora Lee Hazlett told a judge last week she had no inkling and no warning when her neighbour came at her with a knife last June.
“I turned around and she was there with a knife swinging,” she testified February 4 in Bridgewater provincial court. “It all happened so fast. I remember trying to push her hands back while she was swinging the knife.”
Catherine Lorraine Sweet is charged with assault with a weapon, aggravated as-sault and carrying a knife for a dangerous purpose in connection with what happened on June 18 outside a New Ross apartment building.
Ms Hazlett told the court she’d only spo-ken with her downstairs neighbour twice in the years she lived there, once when she moved in and another time when she went looking for someone.
But on June 18, she said Ms Sweet con-fronted her as she arrived home from work. She testified she got out of her car and Ms Sweet started screaming at her and calling her names.
The altercation lasted a few minutes and ended, Ms Hazlett admitted, when she swore back and told Ms Sweet she should go for a drive to calm down.
Ms Hazlett said she went inside and told her boyfriend and his friend what had happened. About 20 minutes later, she left the apartment to go visit a friend.
She testified she turned her car and started to pull forward in the driveway when she heard Ms Sweet yelling again, so she got out to find out what was happening.
“I wanted to know if there was something that I had done maybe in the past while living there that had caused tension so that maybe I could change it so there wouldn’t be that ten-sion,” Ms Hazlett said.
She told the court the other woman ranted, ultimately say-ing she was “going to gut me from head to toe,” then disap-peared back inside her apartment.
Ms Hazlett’s boyfriend and friend came downstairs. She was talking to her boyfriend in the driveway, she said, when she sensed something was happening and turned to find Ms Sweet coming at her with a butcher knife.
She put her arms up and suffered a couple of small cuts to a little finger, but then the knife slashed through her arm from wrist to elbow.
“I did not ever once think that she would come out with a butcher knife. I never thought that she would do some-thing like that,” she said.
Ms Hazlett testified she called 911 and was transported to Annapolis Valley Re-gional, then on to the QEII. She returned there three days later and underwent plas-tic surgery to repair six damaged tendons and a severed nerve.
She still doesn’t have full use of her hand and wrist and may require further surgery.
Under cross-examination, Ms Hazlett denied that there were previous problems between the ten-ants. She told defence lawyer Alan Ferrier she could not re-member any incidents when words were exchanged or issues over loud music in the building.
Her boyfriend also took the stand, corroborating much of what Ms Hazlett had said. Jason Swinimer said he saw Ms Sweet coming at his girlfriend with a large knife as they stood in the driveway, but had no time to react.
“I’ve relived it a million times and thought of a million things I could have done, but it was too late,” Mr. Swinimer said.
“It happened so quick.”He will continue to testify when the trial resumes on Thurs-
day.

Chief Slauenwhite said it was a chal-lenging fire to fight.
“It was the very last house in our district, which meant it was the longest distance away,” he said. While main roads were clear, others were slippery with ice and snow forcing truck drivers to slow down.
“The biggest challenge was securing a water supply, which we managed to do, and just the sheer size of it. When you’re dealing with that much fire, you know just ordinary hand lines are not going to put it out,” the chief said.
Officials ran water lines from a nearby brook and shuttled additional water from a lake. They situated Lunenburg’s aerial truck in the home’s driveway.
“Once we secured a water supply that we knew we had enough water to operate the aerial — because that thing requires a lot of water — then the decision was made just to put that thing up in the air right over top of the house and basically drown it,” Chief Slauenwhite said.
Firefighters also struggled with deep snow and the cold temperatures, which led to more ice on the scene.
The last truck cleared the property around 11 p.m.
The house was insured. The fate of the owner’s three cats was not known Sunday.
The woman is staying with a daughter for now. Disaster volunteers with the Canadian Red Cross assisted her with emergency purchases on Sunday.

The vessel had been out of service ear-lier in the day because of ice build-up on the ramps. It was the captain’s decision to proceed with the crossing, a transporta-tion official said at the time.
A Dartmouth-based marine services firm later towed the 16-metre-long cable ferry a few kilometres to LaHave from Oxner’s Beach, where the vessel was sub-jected to an under-hull survey with the aid of Transport Canada. Components identified amongst the damage included the drum and the cable anchor system.
The entire ordeal involving the ferry, including the expense of tugboat opera-tions, labour and parts will cost “in the tens of thousands” of dollars, Mr. Leop-old predicts, pointing out the total costs, covered by insurance, haven’t been tabu-lated yet.
The Brady E. Himmelman was chris-tened in 2010 in honour of the long-time local ferry operator of the same name. The $3.5 million Digby County-built ves-sel can carry 14 full-size vehicles. It costs about $500,000 a year to operate the ferry, which handles roughly 87,000 vehicles per year.

Convicted ofprocuring teen girl
Man promised her drugs,cash to have sex with stranger
By LISA [email protected]
COUNTY — A Chester Basin man has been convicted of procuring a 16-year-old girl to have illicit sex with a stranger in exchange for crack cocaine.
Although 21-year-old Brandyn Clar-ence Corkum denied any involvement in what the girl claimed happened in the summer of 2012, the judge reject-ed his testimony in a decision handed down February 7 in Bridgewater provin-cial court.
While both were “under a fog of nar-cotics” that summer, Judge Gregory Lene-han said he found the girl’s testimony both compelling and con-vincing.
At a trial last month, the teen, who is now 17, said she stayed at Mr. Corkum’s house for five days sometime between June 1 and September 1, 2012. They were what Judge Lenehan described as “drug buddies,” both needing regular fixes to feel normal.
The girl testified they’d been shoot-ing hydromorphone and Mr. Corkum smoked some crack cocaine that day. When they ran out of drugs, she said Mr. Corkum “nagged” her to “prosti-tute” herself, promising her she’d get “$300 and a bunch of 30s” — 30 milli-gram hydromorphone pills — and he’d get crack.
She said she didn’t want to do it at first, but as she became sicker from withdrawal she agreed.
The girl testified that Mr. Corkum arranged for a woman to drive them to Hammonds Plains where they met a man outside a gas station. She said he gave Mr. Corkum a piece of crack cocaine. They then followed him to his
home where she got in his white Mus-tang convertible.
She said he drove to a remote wooded area behind the Tantallon rink and they had sex in the front seat of the car. The man then returned her to where Mr. Corkum, the driver and a passenger were waiting. He gave Mr. Corkum more crack, she said, but she received noth-ing.
She didn’t tell the authorities what happened until April 2013, after she
stopped using drugs and went on a metha-done treatment pro-gram.
Calling it “repug-nant” that a person’s addiction would com-pel them to such be-haviour, Judge Lene-han said the girl did not try to deny what she did.
“[She] did not paint a flattering picture of herself at 16 years
of age. She was addicted to prescrip-tion drugs. She got her drugs by almost any means necessary. She mooched off friends and associates. She would have sex for drugs,” Judge Lenehan said.
But whereas he found Mr. Corkum’s testimony “vague and hesitant” and “far from convincing” when he denied knowing the man or being part of the transaction, Judge Lenehan said the girl was believable. She described the man, his car and the sequence of events in detail, never veering from her story.
She was clear on what she was prom-ised and that she did not receive it.
“[She], in my view, felt she got played. She was used,” the judge said.
Mr. Corkum will be back in court Thursday.
He was arrested and held in cus-tody last week facing six new charges of breaching probation orders and court undertakings.

BRIDGEWATER — Bridgewater Po-lice have found a new way to use social media to their advantage.
In recent months, the police service started a Twitter account and began updating its Facebook page on a regu-lar basis.
Police took that one step further last month, posting a gallery of photos of people wanted on outstanding war-rants.
The photos went up on Facebook January 9. The same day there was a second post indicating one person’s photo had been taken down because she made contact with police to deal with
her outstanding warrant and charges.Forty-five-year-old Buffena Rose
Iyoupe of North River appeared in Bridgewater provincial court February 5. She faces two charges of breaching probation dating back to 2007.
After numerous appearances, those charges were scheduled for June 2009, but Ms Iyoupe failed to attend court.
She now faces an additional charge for that offence.
All of her charges were adjourned until later this month to give her time to meet with a lawyer.
The Bridgewater Police Service still had a dozen photos posted on its Face-book page and on its website at http://bridgewaterpolice.ca as of late last week.

Guilty ofprohibited
drivingBut judge acquitsrepeat offender of
refusing breath testBy LISA BROWN
COUNTY — A Bridgewater man will be back in court Wednesday to face sentencing after he was convicted last week of driving while prohibited back in 2009.
But Provincial Court Judge Gregory Lenehan acquitted Kevin Leroy Whea-ton of an additional charge of refusing a breath test saying he wasn’t certain exactly what police asked of the man.
At Mr. Wheaton’s trial late last year, Cst. Ashley Levy testified she spotted him behind the wheel of a van travel-ling in Mahone Bay on June 9, 2009. Police were looking for him after re-ceiving a report that he was driving, despite being the subject of a three-year ban.
The constable testified she turned and followed the van, which pulled into a driveway on Main Street. She said she saw Mr. Wheaton exit the driver’s door and get into the back of the van.
His longtime friend, Donald Ernst, got in the driver’s seat. The constable said he was buckling his seat belt when she walked up to the door.
She then approached Mr. Wheaton and smelled alcohol on his breath. She later asked him to provide a breath sample.
But in a decision handed down Feb-ruary 7, Judge Lenehan determined he was uncertain if the demand given matched the device provided.
Cst. Levy testified she read an ASD or approved screening device demand. But when Mr. Wheaton questioned what that was, she said she explained that it is “used to determine the con-centration, if any, of alcohol in the blood.”
She did not read the demand she gave into the record at Mr. Wheaton’s trial and he was charged with refusing a roadside screening demand.
“She referred to it as an ASD de-mand. What is an ASD?” Judge Lene-han said. “It’s an acronym. It’s an acro-nym that the police are familiar with. I am familiar with it, but I can’t take ju-dicial notice of what is meant by ASD.”
Furthermore, the judge said, the ex-planation Cst. Levy said she provided to Mr. Wheaton “actually fits the de-scription of an approved instrument” rather than an approved screening de-vice.
“So I am not certain what demand, if any, was given to Mr. Wheaton at that time. Because I’m not certain of what the demand was, I have to find him not guilty of refusing,” the judge said.
However, he concluded he had no doubt that Mr. Wheaton was driving the van, although both he and Mr. Ernst took the stand and said differently.
“Mr. Wheaton’s testimony I disre-gard completely,” Judge Lenehan said. “Anything else that he testified to just is not believable.”
Mr. Wheaton, 49, has eight prior im-paired driving convictions.
He is currently in custody on new allegations of failing the breathalys-er and driving while prohibited from January 1. The Crown has opposed his release, but no bail hearing has yet been held.
Those charges will also be on the court docket Wednesday, as will anoth-er count that he trafficked in prescrip-tion medication in October 2011.
He is awaiting the continuation of his trial into that allegation connected to the death of 22-year-old Joshua Bal-lard who died of an overdose in Mr. Wheaton’s apartment.
The new Baptist Church is expected to be finished by Easter of 2015.
Construction on newBaptist Church to begin soon
By LEENA [email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — Out with the old and in with the new.
The Bridgewater Baptist Church is building a new facility located on Glen Allan Drive to allow more space for its growing congregation. The plan has been in the works since 2006 and is expected to cost up to $5.1 million.
“We are presently in an aged building that was built back in 1921 and it is start-ing to cost us for the upkeep. The roof is leaking continuously, it’s costly to heat and also we’ve tried holding two services in the morning to accommodate all of our congregation — that didn’t work,” says Gordon Fevens, chairman of the building committee.
The church currently has about 350 members, and on a Sunday morning the congregation has about 225 in attendance. The new church “will allow for signifi-cant growth on a Sunday morning,” says Rev. Dr. Brian MacArthur.
“I would hope that we would have an increase in people coming to our church and becoming members, so that we can grow and have more of an outreach in the town,” adds committee member Carl Selig.
The 200-square-foot building will hold a 500 seat sanctuary and will include a paved parking lot for 200 vehicles. The church will include a gymnasium, kitch-en facilities, library, youth room, nursery, classrooms, meeting rooms and a larger foyer than in the current facility, leaving more space for meet and greets.
Presently, the Baptist Church on King street is for sale and has been so for about three years. They’ve had a few offers, but none willing to pay what they consider a fair price.
“We are asking Atlantic Baptist Hous-ing to consider purchasing this property. If they were to purchase the property
and build another seniors development, it would be an ideal location. It would be ideal for seniors to live close to the down-town area,” says Rev. Norman Hovland.
“We would hope that we might still have some denominational involvement in this because we’ve been on this prop-erty as the first church in Bridgewater … and it would be nice to have some kind of designation on the property indicating that,” he says, adding the group contin-ues to be open to all options.
The development will help the church expand its current programs, such as those designed for young people in the
community. The foundation of the church is currently in place on Glen Allan Drive, next to Drumlin Hills. More construction begins this spring and is expected be completed by Easter of 2015.
“People seem very excited and optimis-tic. It’s been developing over a number of years and having reached the point where it’s finally time to begin the ac-tual construction of the church, I think there’s a genuine sense of excitement and optimism,” says Rev. Dr. Brian MacAr-thur. “There’s a sense of vision because it’s going to allow us to do more things, in terms of programming for all ages.”

BAKER SETTLEMENT — An adult female avoided serious injury but needed help getting out of a vehicle that flipped onto its roof in Baker Settlement.
First responders came to the woman’s aid February 10 in the area of one of the Tri-District Fire Rescue fire stations, off Highway 325.
The volunteer Tri-District fire department serves communi-ties including Chelsea, Newcombville and Baker Settlement. They responded to the 11:30 a.m. call and also asked for — and received assistance from — Bridgewater volunteer firefighters who also brought specialized vehicle extrication gear to the
scene.While responding to that incident, dispatch received a report
of another vehicle going off the same road, this time in New-combville. Crews also dealt with that mishap, which was not believed to be serious.
Paramedics assessed the woman involved in the Baker Settle-ment crash but she didn’t require ambulance transport to hos-pital.
Slippery road conditions are believed to have factored in both crashes.

Hey Guys...
Lunenburg native Gregory “Myles” MacIn-tosh disappeared February 2 after leaving a Saskatoon night club.
Former Lunenburg resident missing in
SaskatchewanBy ROBERT [email protected]
LUNENBURG — A Saskatoon resident who was born in Lunenburg and grew up in the South Shore town has gone missing in the Saskatchewan city.
Police reported on their Facebook site that Gregory MacIntosh, who went by the name Myles, was reported to have been last seen leaving a club on Idylwyld Drive around midnight February 2.
He was apparently out with friends celebrating his upcoming wedding and left the club shortly before the rest of the party.
His friends attempted to locate him after that but were not successful.
Mr. MacIntosh is described as six inch-es in height, 200 pounds, with light curly brown hair and brown eyes. He wears a silver lip ring. He was last seen wearing a blue suede suit jacket, a white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and black dress shoes.
Media reports indicate that just after 12:30 a.m., police and fire crews were called when witnesses reported an adult falling into the South Saskatchewan River.
Footprints were later found leading to the river’s edge with none coming back.
Saskatoon Police said they were in-vestigating the possibility that Mr. Ma-cIntosh could have indeed fallen into the river.
The 28-year-old attended Lunenburg High School where he graduated in 2003.
He received numerous academic awards in his final year of studies, in-cluding a scholarship to the University of New Brunswick (UNB), the Mayor’s Medal, a Silver “A,” a Scholar Athlete Recognition Award, a Town of Lunen-burg Bursary, and the Amit Garg Memo-rial Scholarship.
In his youth, he was also an active member of Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps #39 Neptune.
Mr. MacIntosh’s Facebook page says he graduated from UNB in 2008. News reports say he was working in Saskatoon as an electrician.

LUNENBURG — Second Story Women’s Centre in Lunenburg is one of a half-doz-en community-based projects that will ben-efit from a provincial initiative to improve services for victims of sexual violence.
Community Ser-vices Minister Joanne Barnard made the announcement at the Lunenburg facil-ity February 10 during Family Violence Pre-vention Week.
Also on hand for the announcement were Lunenburg MLA Su-zanne Lohnes-Croft and Jeanne Fay, Sec-ond Story’s executive director.
Along with Sec-ond Story, funding will be provided to the Every Women’s Centre in Sydney, the Central Nova Women’s Resource Centre in Truro, The Mi’kmaq Native Friendship So-ciety in Halifax, The Red Door in Kentville, and the Tri-County Women’s Centre in Yarmouth.
Each recipient will receive $55,000 per year over two years, and will work collaboratively to improve service delivery, responses, and co-ordinate services.
“No one in this room needs to be reminded why the work in places such as Second Story is so important and so essential,” Ms Barnard said. “We are all here today because we share a common cause — we want to end sexual violence.”
She said that work also involves striving to ensure that vic-tims are cared for, heal, and can move on with their lives with resiliency and hope.
“We want to change the attitudes and the unacceptable be-haviours that exist in our society and results in incidents of sexual violence,” she said. “We want real change.”
Ms Barnard said the funding is being distributed as part of an expression of interest issued last summer to develop projects to improve services for survivors of sexual violence.
“I look forward to hearing back from their work, and how we can use their work to form the province’s first sexual vio-lence strategy,” she said. “We know we are achieving our goal when young women and men have a clear understanding of consent, when those victimized know where to turn for help, regardless of where they live in the province, and when the number of incidents of sexual violence decreases, but we need to go further.”
Ms Barnard said the development of the strategy will be facilitated by Jeannie Flynn and Rene Ross, who will consult with the organizations involved in the project and solicit their input, ideas, suggestions and feedback.
“I and my team will also provide leadership and we will facilitate a collaborative approach where we all pitch in to address this issue together,” she said. “I will be seeking clear, decisive action in this strategy.”
The minister said she will also be looking for “precise, mea-surable goals” in the strategy “with clear evaluation criteria attached to each.”
She said, “Having solid measurement and evaluation will help bring credibility to the work, it will help attract support from partners, the private sector, and other levels of govern-ment, and it helps ensure accountability.”
Ms Fay said that she is very pleased with the funding an-nouncement.
“Sexual violence is a scourge in our society fueled by a culture of sexism and machismo,” she said. “For hundreds of years, maybe millenia, sexual violence has been part of the normalized experience of women and girls. Today, we are drawing a line in the sand and saying no more, not on our watch.”

Dayspring area politician Frank Fawson comments February 4 con-cerning the street light matter in his district.
Resident suggests Dayspring politician should quit over street light issue
By KEITH [email protected]
DAYSPRING — A municipal councillor’s handling of a street light issue in the Dayspring area has one of his constituents calling for him to quit.
Councillor Frank Fawson refuses to pack it in, as Carmon Fraser requested, because he feels he did nothing wrong when he was successful in request-ing the removal of a handful of fixtures near his home.
“I didn’t break any rules. I fol-lowed the policy,” the councillor said during a break in a February 4 committee of the whole session.
Mr. Fraser, using words such as “upsetting” and “embarrassing” when addressing council concern-ing the matter, said he expected Councillor Fawson to first consult with his constituents.
“Based on the activities around the lights; based on the reaction from Council-lor Fawson in this matter who’s jeopardized the safety and security of anybody involved with the Leary Fraser Road, I would strongly recommend [he] maybe consider resigning,” Mr. Fraser told civic politicians.
The Municipality of Lunenburg is reviewing a section of a policy that deals with councillor re-quests for the addition or removal of street lights. The removal of six Leary Fraser Road streetlights that Councillor Fawson wanted gone, because they were an annoyance to his property, met existing policy.
“The lights themselves have been a bother to me and my property for many years because the lights shine right in the windows of my house, particularly the bedroom windows,” Councillor Fawson previous-ly told southshorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin.
Councillor Fawson sent an e-mail to the municipal engineering department in September asking for
removal of the lights. He wrote that two facilities, including the LaHave Manor, “both have long drive-ways with their own lighting.”
In the e-mail, he added, “It is my understanding the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg street-light policy allows for a reduction or addition of up to 10 [per cent] of the existing lights in any one fiscal year. I believe this would meet the requirements of the policy.”
The LaHave Manor Corporation, a charity providing services for the physically and mentally challenged and housing for seniors, low-income clients and people with disabilities, said removing the lights creates a potential issue. The corporation op-erates the LaHave Manor, across the road from Councillor Fawson’s home. The corporation’s board chairman indicated removing the lights creates safety concerns for the facility’s 66 clients who live
there and the employees.The municipality was told to also expect a petition
signed by local residents and property owners.Tammy Wilson, the municipality’s chief execu-
tive, said “the lights will be reinstalled” after a request was received to re-connect the units. Nova Scotia Power has been advised, she said. There was no immediate information available as to when the light reinstallation will take place.
Councillor Fawson said he probably could have proceeded differently, had he had a second go of it, by talking to a couple of property owners, including the manor.
“I suppose now that I realize that the LaHave Manor has a position on it perhaps I should have spo-ken with them because they are the property owners across the road even though they’re very removed from the road,” he said.
New light-emitting diode (LED) street fixtures were installed near Councillor Fawson’s home just days after the council meeting.
“I didn’t break any rules. I followed the
policy.”Frank Fawson

Lack of co-ordinator,weather, leads to
scraping town’s temporary outdoor rinks
By KEITH [email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — While it doesn’t appear old man winter is show-ing signs of tiring out, time has exhausted any further attempts to get Bridgewater’s temporary outdoor rinks operational this season.
Town Councillor Andrew Tanner fulfilled the duties of co-ordi-nating the rinks — commonly built and functional this time of year on the Kins-men Field on Bridgewater’s west side — said no one could be found to take on his former role.
“We tried to ‘sell it’ a bit to some folks but [I] just can’t find someone to take it on,” Councillor Tanner said in a recent interview with southshorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin.
For the last couple of months Council-lor Tanner has been looking to hand over co-ordinator responsibili-ties to some-one else after having volun-
teered in that capacity for several years. He said perhaps people may not com-pletely understand the role.
“It requires someone to be on the ball with watching the weather and then, if weather changes really quickly, to work and gather some people together to shovel slush off the thing and so on,” he said.
Councillor Tanner also knows from his experience that the rinks have a best-before date from season to season and weather conditions haven’t helped.
“To be frank, this year, it’s been up and down weather. While people have said, ‘Well, we’ve had plenty of cold days,’ we’ve also had a lot of warm days,” he noted, “and with warm days you have to keep people off those rinks and it’s hard to do sometimes.”
He’d like to seek out funding sources with a potential goal of establishing a permanent outdoor facility on a concrete base complete with piping, perhaps like Halifax’s Oval, considered the largest out-door, artificially refrigerated ice surface in Atlantic Canada.
“In this kind of climate that’s really what you have to target, so I’ve looked at some different opportunities for fundrais-ing and so on it’s just finding the time to start that.”
While he seeks cash to fund broader possibilities, he’ll poll for a co-ordinator again before next season.
One temporary rink was started about four years ago with the help of some start-up money from the town. Later, a second surface was added so there would be dedicated ice surfaces for both hockey and pleasure skating.
“We tried to ‘sell it’ a bit to some folks but
[I] just can’t find someone to take
it on.” Andrew Tanner

CHESTER — Shoreham Village Home for Special Care has adopted a two-year quality improvement plan to guide it into the future, said chief executive officer Alice Leverman in an interview last week.
As a result of consultation with residents, families, employees, volunteers, physicians, board members, partner organizations and members of the community, a quality improvement plan was devel-oped with a priority on providing high quality, safe, resident-focused care; supporting all employees and volunteers to work at their best; and engaging the community and partner organizations.
“[We want to] try and bring Shoreham more in focus at the commu-nity level because we tend to be a society that is very youth focused and we have a different focus here,” said Ms Leverman. “We have amazing support from our community but we don’t always let the community know what we’re doing.”
To achieve these priorities, the plan names five areas of focus. They are: residents, leadership, employees and volunteers, community and the physical building.
“First, of course, is on our residents because that’s why we’re here,” said Ms Leverman, noting a new model of care is being imple-mented that is more resident-focused. According to the plan, focusing on residents means moving from a one-size fits all where the care is shaped by the unique and individual needs and preferences of each resident.
“It’s a big undertaking because it’s a change of the culture in the organization,” said Ms Leverman.
Although Shoreham is not set up to implement some aspects of a new model of care, the organization will begin looking at newer ways of responding to residents’ individual needs. She said new long term care facilities have smaller groups of people that live in neigh-bourhoods. That type of set-up makes it easier for staff to respond to individual needs.
“The real focus is on being as responsive to individual resident needs as we can. Traditionally, long-term care facilities have been a little bit more focused on the medical model,” said Ms Leverman. In a medical model, staff respond to the medical condition of the resident. But in the new model, staff respond to the entire person in addition to the medical condition. Responding to the whole residents enhances quality of life.
“The medical care of our residents is hugely important,” said Ms Leverman. “We absolutely need to attend to their medical needs. But at this point in their life, the quality of life they live is so important.”
According to the plan, the results of the new model will mean that resident and families will be satisfied with the care provided and con-sistently express enjoyment about living at Shoreham.
In leadership, the quality improvement plan promotes a team cul-ture. The result will be expressions of positive changes in the organi-zation and staff feeling they are valued and supported.
Employees and volunteers means ensuring a healthy and respect-ful workspace resulting in expressions of enjoyment about coming to work. In addition, the 170 employees and 180 volunteers can even feel free to solutions to challenges faced by Shoreham.
At the community level, Shoreham plans to collaborate with stakeholders. Strengthening relationships means that Shoreham will be recognized for excellence and as a valued community asset. The community can also expect to receive regular information about Shoreham.
Ms Leverman said since government committed to replacing Shore-ham Village in 2015, their focus on the physical environment has be-come maintaining current infrastructure. The 1974 building does not meet today’s standards for the 90 residents who call Shoreham home.
Ms Leverman added this announcement was made by the former NDP government but there is no reason to believe that the new gov-ernment won’t follow through on the commitment.
“We know with any government change, it takes time for them to get oriented. … We think it’s just a matter of the new government get-ting up to speed and getting it on the agenda for decision and action,” added Ms Leverman.
Ms Leverman said this plan doesn’t mean that residents aren’t get-ting the care they need. Adding, changing demographics in long-term care has resulted in the need to improve.
“There are amazing things that are happening in this home every single hour of every single day because of residents supporting each other, families, volunteers, employees. But because of the changing demographics and changing nature of long-term care, we have to continually look at what we’re doing and how we can do it better,” she said.
TASC TAnkedCouncil tables taxation committee
By ROBERT [email protected]
LUNENBURG — Lunenburg’s Taxation Advi-sory Special Committee (TASC) has been moth-balled after just one year of operation.
The committee was originally formed last February to provide a consultative forum that could effectively provide advice on current and future budgetary and taxation direction for the town.
It was the brainchild of Councillor Peter Zwicker, who believed there was a lack of pub-lic understanding on how the budget planning process works.
The committee consisted of two elected offi-cials, two community appointees, one represen-tative of the Lunenburg Board of Trade and the town finance director who served in an advisory capacity, as well as the mayor and CEO who served on an ad hoc basis.
While council approved the terms of refer-ence under which TASC would operate last win-ter, there was question among some councillors
at that time as to just what role it would play in the process and how effective it would be.
Deputy Mayor Danny Croft pointed out that the budgetary process is an open one and mem-bers of the public are free to sit in on those consultations.
Councillor Peter Mosher agreed, saying he doubted such a committee would make a differ-ence.
Councillor Zwicker, however, believed that a fresh set of eyes looking at how taxation issues are being addresses might offer suggestions on how things might be improved.
Council approved the terms of reference with a stipulation that the committee be appointed for a two-year term.
At their most recent meeting, however, it was agreed to table the committee until such time as there was something pertinent to address.
That decision was affected by the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities who are currently looking at a variety of taxation and fiscal re-view issues.

Bridgewater building permit values spike in 2013By KEITH [email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — With building per-mit values in Bridgewater in 2013 staying above the $10 million mark, it’s a consis-tent sign that developers and builders remain confident in the Main Street of the South Shore, Bridgewater’s mayor indicates.
The estimated construction value of building permits issued in Bridgewater grew in 2013 to more than $11 million, representing an increase over the $10.8 achieved in 2012, town engineering de-partment figures show.
“In the economy in this day in age, to have a $1 million growth in building per-mits and growth in construction is very, very, good,” Mayor David Walker said in an interview.
He highlighted residential housing work in the Glen Allan Drive neighbour-hood, an apartment building develop-ment off Victoria Road and the massive renovation of LaHave Street’s Bridgewa-ter Mall among ongoing projects high-lighting 2014.
“I’m still optimistic that we’re going to continue to show significant growth each calendar year,” he said. “I’m pleased the growth is steady and still moving in the right direction.”
While the permit value spiked in 2013, the number of permits issued were down to 148 from 168.
The number of commercial permits also reduced to 23 from 33. The number of residential permits also dropped to 102 from 122, although the overall value rose in 2012.
The town issued double the number of demolition permits in 2013 (14) over 2012 (seven) with the value being 13 times more than the previous year. More in-dustrial permits were also issued in 2013 with most of those aimed at expansions, figures show.
With the exception of 2002 and 2005, Bridgewater issued permits representing
at least $10 million worth of estimated construction value each year between 2000 and 2012. Between 1991 and 1999, the annual values were consistently less than $10 million.
Bridgewater’s proximity to Halifax, the lifestyle, the workforce reputation and business climate are among factors as to why developers’ have high-spirits
dealing with this area, the mayor sug-gested.
“I tell people ‘you can experience a little bit of everything living on the South Shore’,” he said.
“You’ve got the camping experiences. You’ve got the beaches [and] you’ve got the urban areas that provide things peo-ple like as well.”

Halifax Needham MLA and acting provincial NDP leader Maureen MacDonald spoke to southshorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin in Bridgewater on January 28.
Politically wounded NDPprepare to take on governing grits in provincial legislature
By KEITH [email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — The politically wounded provincial NDP vow to both use their reduced caucus to keep pressure on the McNeil Liberal government and produce alternative ideas as they work to re-establish electability trust with Nova Scotians.
“We may be reduced numerically but geographically we still have a nice di-verse and representative group of people in terms of our caucus,” acting NDP leader Maureen MacDonald told south-shorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin in a recent interview.
The seven-MLA team recently gathered on the South Shore for their first caucus retreat since the Dexter NDP government was ousted from office and replaced with a McNeil Liberal majority. Ms MacDonald took over the helm after party leader Dar-rell Dexter lost his seat in the 2013 provin-cial election. Voters elevated the Liberals to a majority government, while reducing the NDP to third party standing from its previous majority status.
The retreat included a couple of days of meetings, a social gathering and in-formal talks in various communities. Ms MacDonald expected to learn lots from the masses.
“I think that we have an opportunity to hear about cost of living issues. We will hear concerns about how people are managing day to day,” she said. “We’ll hear from people with respect to the fu-ture of their communities; the youth in their communities. The kind of security that seniors feel with respect to access to
health care services or access to services to help people stay in their homes longer. Those kinds of things.”
The NDP are preparing for the spring session of the Nova Scotia legislature when the grit government is expected to table its first budget.
Ms MacDonald couldn’t venture much in terms of what she likes about what the new government is up to, instead ex-pressing concerneds about matters that she claims the Liberals promised that are now the subject of study.
“They identified electricity rates as being problematic and they have abso-lutely zero idea of how they are going to reduce or deal with rates of electricity,” she explained.
“And they were very critical of Effi-ciency Nova Scotia and that little charge on your electric bill and Mr. McNeil said they would eliminate it immediately and we’re now learning that they are going to study that and they won’t have an answer to that until January of next year .. it’s debatable how immediate that is.”
The province has committed to having the charge off of the bills next year but is also developing a funding model plan for the agency. In terms of energy rates, the province is conducting a 12-month review of the electricity system. Ms MacDonald also less-than-enthused with initial steps the government is taking concerning dis-trict health authorities.
“They’re putting a lot of effort into consultants and studies,” Ms MacDonald added. “It will be a considerable period of time until we see anything concrete from government.”

A12 Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin, Wednesday, February 12, 2014 www.southshorenow.ca
Federal Conservatives should be ashamed
Now for something completely radical
In times of war and conflict, in times of strife and unrest, and in times of major disaster, we call upon the brave men and
women of our military to serve. Call it love of country or a desire to protect, but over the decades hundreds of thousands have put aside their personal safety and well-being to do their patriotic duty.
And how does the federal Conservative government thank them? By treating them like a financial burden.
Our veterans should be revered as heroes. Instead, in Canada of late, they’re made to feel like leeches. In recent years, they’ve been forced to beg for services for which they should be entitled, services that most Canadians agree we should provide to assist those who have protected us and the free-doms we have come to take for granted.
The latest assault on our veterans came last month when the federal government closed eight Veterans Affairs Centres across the country, including the one in Sydney, Cape Breton, on January 31. It had previous-ly closed a centre in Prince George, British Columbia, to bring the total to nine.
The feds argue they are not eliminating services to veterans but instead are redirect-ing them to other outlets and to programs on computers and smart phones. But veter-ans and their families don’t see it that way and quite frankly after the way the Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino has treated the veterans throughout this current debate, we don’t see it that way either. Reducing a
veteran to tears on national television is nothing less than disgraceful and someone must be held accountable for that.
But the real issue here is the impact these closures will have on the veterans who rely on the offices for one-on-one support with their financial, medical, emotional and men-tal health problems. And we can only imag-ine, based on stories we’ve heard of stress and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder suffered by veterans, what these men and women are forced to face everyday because they bravely volunteered to serve their country. This is no way to treat them.
The government defends its decision with claims that a drop in demand is the reason for the office closures, but officials refuse to say how much money will be saved by clos-ing these veteran centres. Instead, the gov-ernment says it is still offering assistance via Service Canada centres in affected areas and Veterans Affairs Canada will also con-tinue to provide services on-line.
However, veterans and opposition mem-bers say those are insufficient replacements for personal service these men and women depend upon. They say Service Canada officials cannot provide the same level of assistance as case managers who provide one-on-one support for veterans.
Naturally, Mr. Fantino defended the gov-ernment’s position and claimed that, as of February, the points of services for veterans will be increased and Veterans Affairs will have a presence in every region in Canada,
coast to coast to coast. If we’re not mistak-en, we thought the role of the Veterans Af-fairs Minister was to advocate for veterans in government, not drive the government’s agenda down the veterans’ throats.
With regards to the pressing issue of mental health that has led to a series of sui-cides among the military and veterans in re-cent months, Mr. Fantino said he wanted to reassure all veterans that they will continue to receive the specialized care and support they need, regardless of where they live. But these words are of little consolation to those veterans who are crying for help and they rightfully see the closure of these cen-tres as one more blow against them.
It’s no secret that the Conservatives’ main agenda is to save money at all costs and service to Canadians be damned, but they must not do it on the backs of veterans. We owe our veterans more than that and the feds should be ashamed of themselves for the way they have treated these men and women whose willingness to help their country contributed to their problems in the first place.
The government clearly has the power to close these centres, but if the feds have an ounce of compassion they will do the right thing and reverse this decision. They must put the well-being of our veterans ahead of whatever dollars they claim they will save by closing these centres.
— Vernon Oickle
It’s early morning. It’s pitch black. It’s snowing. The winds are howling. The roads could be tricky and the driving
could be treacherous. What to do? Do you go to work or not?
Some people don’t have a choice so off to work you go. However, if you’re an official with any of the school boards in Nova Scotia, you’re wondering should you cancel school or not? Your decision will im-pact the safety of hundreds — maybe thousands — of students so it’s not one to be made lightly.
It’s a question that has plagued school officials for decades but it’s also a ques-tion for which there is no easy answer because, as we know, there’s no way to please everyone. We’ve all heard the complaints. Invariably, someone will disagree with your decision. Regardless of what call officials make we often hear complaints from the public, ei-ther saying schools were closed unnecessar-ily or that student safety was compromised because the roads were not fit for busses loaded with young people.
Every year, the South Shore Regional School Board struggles with this very ques-tion, trying to figure out if there’s a better system for determining school closures. For example, with some storms it may be necessary to close schools in one part of the region because of dangerous driving condi-tions, while schools in another area could operate. However, where is the geographical cutoff line if the storm is expected to move as most do?
As well, there’s the question of closing the schools completely during storms when buses are kept off the road. The question being, should schools be kept open for stu-dents who walk and should school staff be required to report to work even when students are not there because of inclement weather? Both are legitimate questions and both require careful debate.
Then there is the question of timing when it comes to cancelling schools, as
parents and staff are sometimes left won-dering until the last minute if there will be school or not. This can’t be an easy decision especially at 5:50 a.m. when it’s difficult to keep all the information in perspective, but putting all the politics and personal pontifi-
cating aside, I say the number one priority must always be the safety of the students.
As the discussion sur-rounding the issue of school closures on storm days gains more attention, I would urge the public, education officials and decision-makers to always err on the side of caution and always think of what’s best for the children. Will there be days when boards have made the wrong call? For sure, but more often than not, it’s the right decision. As for implementing a blanket policy to cover school closures on storm days that will
please everyone, good luck with that.This debate rages every winter, but the
bottom line must always be safety first so here’s an idea whose time may have finally come, especially in light of the extreme weather conditions we are now experienc-ing. It may seem like something from out in left field, but it may also be a concept that could address some of these concerns faced each winter by school board personnel and members of the public with children in the school system.
I’ve been suggesting for several years that school boards and provincial education officials should seriously look at the notion of closing schools for the entire month of February. In turn, the lost time could be made up by eliminating March break, open-ing a week earlier at the end of August and extending the school year into July.
Radical? Perhaps, but just because our school year has traditionally run for 10 months from September to June doesn’t mean it must continue to operate that way. And here’s why this suggestion has merit.
So far this winter since the Christmas break, school has been closed four times due to adverse weather conditions and February isn’t over yet. In fact, there were
a few other days where the decision could have gone either way, like last Thursday for instance.
Historically, February is the worst month of the year weather-wise. School is usually closed several times each year during the month due to snowstorms or black ice, and quite often the kids are transported home during the day when the snow starts or the roads become icy after classes begin. That’s not only a safety risk, but it poses problems for parents having to arrange for child care halfway through the day.
Then there is the issue of ice-covered secondary roads, which is most prevalent during the month of February, meaning many students are prohibited from taking their bus unless they can get to another des-ignated stop somewhere on the main route. If the kids weren’t in school, we wouldn’t have to worry about that inconvenience.
Economically, it also makes sense. If we close schools in February, we could turn the heat back and save money and energy and the buses wouldn’t be running which would save money because we all know it costs more to run a vehicle of any kind dur-ing cold weather. Here’s another thought. Having a month off in February rather than a week in March would also take some pressure off the travel industry, because the window for taking winter holidays for people with school-aged kids would be four weeks rather than one.
In truth, I admit this is a drastic idea, but who’s to say it won’t work? We know there may be opposition because some people wouldn’t like the idea of sending kids to school in the summer, but it’s pos-sible we wouldn’t even have to extend the year into July because we’d be gaining days not lost to storms in February. It would also likely improve productivity and morale of the teaching staffs and students to have a longer break mid-year … sort of let them recharge their batteries, so to speak.
With the major issues facing us these days, let’s not dismiss new ideas out of hand. Sometimes, change is necessary even when it seems radical.

our democracy by ensuring that everyone has a voice at the table. Their national advisory panel reflects this diversity of views. It includes Dr. Lloyd Axwor-thy, Hugh Segal, Audrey McLaughlin, Conservative Senator Nancy Ruth and the Very Rev., The Hon Lois Wilson to name a few.
We need to support Fair Vote Canada’s demand for proportional representation. It is time for Canada to have an electoral system that is designed to produce a representative body (for example, parliament or provincial legislatures) where voters elect members in proportion to their votes. I encourage you to join Fair Vote Lunenburg County ([email protected]) and work towards making this a reality.
KEITH LANTHIERRR 1 Lunenburg
It’s time for proportional representationIn my recent letter to the editor (A robust elector-
ate is essential to democracy), I noted that Cana-da’s low voter turnout in federal and provincial
elections is a significant barrier to achieving this and that electoral reform is desperately needed.
The primary problem with our First Past The Post voting system is that all votes do not count equally. As a result, the majority of Canadians who cast ballots in elections have little, if any, represen-tation if their party does not form government. For example, in the 2011 Ontario provincial election, the Liberal Party was one seat shy of a majority government which would have given them absolute power for the next four to five years. However, the low voter turnout (just 49.2 per cent) combined with their popular vote of 37.65 per cent meant that less than 19 per cent of eligible voters endorsed their platform.
Even if we just consider those who cast ballots in the election, over 62 per cent did not support the On-tario Liberal Party policies. It is now fairly common for a party to form government with less than 40 per cent of the popular vote while maintaining that they have a strong mandate from the electorate.
The Conservative Party, which won a “false” ma-jority in 2011 with 39.2 per cent of the vote is just one example. The Liberal Party under Jean Chre-tien won three consecutive “majority” governments between 1993 and 2000 with just 38 to 41 per cent of the popular vote.
This was certainly one of the reasons for the formation of the Reform Party in 1987 with Preston Manning as its leader. It was in 2000 that it changed to the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance. One of their primary concerns was that the West had limited influence with respect to federal policies or legislation. Sound familiar?
It was also in 2000 that Fair Vote Canada was founded and since that time, this grassroots citizens’ organization has been advocating for some form of proportional representation. This would ensure that all votes count equally and that Canada has a real representative democracy. In fact, Canada is one of only a few major nations who use the First Past The Post system to elect federal, provincial and munici-pal representatives.
Fair Vote Canada is not promoting electoral re-form for partisan purposes but rather to strengthen
Ensuring Canadians have a say on cell
towers
Canadians depend on reliable wireless service now more than ever before. As a result, we are seeing an increasing number of new cell tow-
ers being built in communities across Canada.The placement of these towers is often a divisive
issue. Increasingly, we have seen an alarming number of cell towers built in neighbourhoods when there has simply been an indaequate level of consultation with homeowners. This is especially true of cell tow-ers under 15 metres, where until now no consultation was required at all.
Rightly, people have expressed their frustration to me about not having a say in the cell tower placement process in areas where they live, work and play.
Homeowners and municpal governments should be at the forefront of the process whenever a new cell tower is built, and it is up to wireless companies to ensure this occurs. Previously, builders of cell towers were only required to consult communities on towers above 15 metres high. When advising local home-owners, the consultation notices were not clearly explained, or plainly marked. What was missing was that there were no rules on the visibility of this pack-age.
Cell companies often addressed consultation pack-ages generically to the “occupant” and residents often mistake them for junk mail. And if approval was granted, wireless companies were known to wait years before building that tower, even as the tower site and the neighbourhood surrounding it went through fundamental change. This resulted in many companies constructing smaller towers, with inad-equate consultation.
Our government’s changes will close these loop-holes and ensure that local residents and municipal governments are the centre of the cell tower place-ment process in three important ways.
Effective immediately, wireless companies will now be required to consult communities on all new cell towers, regardless of height; ensure residents are clearly informed of upcoming consultations with well-marked consultation notices delivered to their homes with relevant details on how to particpate; and if approval is granted, company must build that tower within three years.
Our government’s objective is to strike a balance between local concerns and the increasing demands consumers place on wireless networks. Most of all, it is to ensure Canadians have a say on where new cell towers are being built in their neighborhood.
We are listening, and ensuring that with these changes to our cell tower policy, we are working with residents and municipalities to make sure their voices are heard.
GERALD KEDDY, MPSouth Shore–St. Margarets
Time for changeWhy do we Canadians allow those who
people freely elect, write cheques for them-selves that no ordinary Canadian will ever
see?Like pensions, for example. Get elected one term
(that’s four years folks) and you get full pension the rest of your life. I’m not talking Canada Pension or Old Age Security, which causes everyday people to live way below the poverty line, but in the line of $150,000 plus for four years elected.
Letting these people get away with this is crimi-nal. They are stealing off the backs of the poorest people in this country. Stephen Harper believes ev-eryday people were all born with an oil well in their backyard, like his Alberta homeland. He says anyone east of Manitoba has a culture of defeat.
The rich owners of businesses drive to work in their new Cadillac, yet the slaves they have work-ing for minimum wage can’t afford to buy a bicycle. There is no need of one per cent of the population controlling all the riches that this country has. No one should be hungry or homeless in this country.
Why aren’t people lining up when they put a help wanted sign out? I’ll tell you why.
They expect humans to work for wages that will al-ways keep them poor with no chance of ever improv-ing their situation. If a company makes $10 million a year what’s wrong with sharing the cash cow with your workers?
I believe that we can make change in this country. Let’s start by electing everyday Canadians not rich ones.

Some user-friendly ideas to get Canada Post out of the red
I’d like to see Canada Post consider more cost-saving options than merely ending urban door-to-door delivery.
In 2012 the annual cost difference between deliv-ering door-to-door versus to a group box was $175 per mailbox. In 2014 the difference may have risen to $200 a year, or 80 cents per delivery day.
Idea #1 – Let customers choose to pay the 80 cents per day. I know that I would rather pay 80 cents a day to have my mail delivered to my home, rather than spending time and gas money to drive to a group mailbox.
Idea #2 – Maintain door-to-door delivery, but only once a week. This would save Canada Post money, and customers who are expecting an urgent letter could go to the post office to collect mail between deliveries.
News stories are predicting that ending urban door-to-door mail delivery will cut 6,000 to 8,000 jobs. Offering customers alternate delivery options could save some of these jobs.
Canada Post says that the “vast majority” of busi-nesses will continue to get mail delivery to their doors, but what about the businesses that won’t?
Let’s suppose I have a business and its group mailbox requires a 10 minute round trip walk to collect the mail. I’d have to pay a minimum wage employee $453 a year for mail pick-up. I’d be far bet-ter off to pay Canada Post $200 a year to cover the difference between door-to-door delivery and group box delivery.
Environmental issues are another concern. Is more pollution created when a mail carrier walks through a neighbourhood, or when multiple resi-dents drive to a group box?
And how much money could Canada Post save by requiring people to locate their mailboxes at the curb or building front, rather than at the door?

Our democracy is too diluted
The census of 1871 put the population of Cana-da at 3.6 million; in 2011 that number was 33.5 million.
The number of MPs representing the voice of Canadians at Confederation in 1867 was 180; in 2011 there were 308 MPs.
Therefore the number of citizens represented by an MP has risen over Canada’s history from 20,000 at the start to 108,000 today.
There has been a 10-fold increase in population as compared to a doubling of representatives; which means that the voice of the people is only 20 per cent of the strength it had at Confederation.
How can there be government of the people, by the people and for the people in a representative democ-racy if representation is diluted like this?

Disappearing veterans’ assistanceI have been reading, with much disgust, how our
veterans are being treated by our heartless gov-ernment.
The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has been screwing with veterans, probably forever. My Dad served in the Second World War. When I was young, he suffered a heart attack. Since we lived off the main road, there was a lot of shovelling to do after a snowstorm. Even though our neighbours let him use their shorter driveway, he was forced to sell our house and move closer to the main road.
He went to the DVA for a mortgage. He told them about his medical condition and was told there would be no problem getting a life-insured mortgage; so Dad signed. After signing, he was told it was not life-insured due to his heart problem. About four years later, he died and Mom was left with a mortgage.
With no credit to the DVA, we survived because Mom was always great at managing money. In later years, she paid for house repairs, snow removal and lawn mowing with absolutely no help from the DVA.
That Harpertator in Ottawa has given new mean-ing to the DVA — Disappearing Veterans’ Assistance. Canada soon will be no more if he is not removed. Funny how he has mega-millions for commercials trying to brainwash us into believing he is a great leader, (bull) but has none for our veterans. Notice how he always has that smirk on his face? What a disgrace!

Hillside Pines takes fire safety very
seriously
The recent tragedy in L’Isle Verte, Quebec has impacted us all. We cannot begin to imagine the sorrow and heartbreak of the families and
the community.Working in this industry, we are very aware of the
vulnerability of our long-term care elders and our re-sponsibility to care for them safely. To address some questions that may be coming to mind in our own community, I would like to outline Hillside Pines’ fire safety procedures.
Hillside Pines, which is a licensed long-term care facility caring for 50 people, has a facility wide sprin-kler system that is professionally maintained on a semi-annual basis. In addition, the sprinkler system is monitored daily by the maintenance staff. There are also monthly and annual (professional) inspec-tions of our fire extinguishers. Our fire detection system with pull stations is directly connected to our monitoring station, which immediately contacts emergency services when activated.
All staff are fully trained in emergency proce-dures reinforced by monthly fire drills (practiced on all shifts). We also practice a facility wide evacuation exercise every three years. In addition, facility wide inspections are carried out by our in-house fire war-den and annually by the Fire Marshall’s Office.
We take all these measures very seriously. We hope this letter helps ease the worry that many who have family or friends living at Hillside Pines may be feel-ing.

LCLC not designed for people with mobility issues
I was very excited to visit our new library and I wanted to see where the indoor pool will be. How-ever, I have made my one and only visit to this
new facility.As a person with limited mobility, you can see
right away that this is a lovely costly hockey arena because that is all it is. You don’t find very many peo-ple with mobility issues or those of us using canes or walkers playing hockey.
First: The designated parking spots are on the other side of the circle and down one side but there are 20-plus bicycle racks right outside the entrance.
Secondly: At the back of the facility where this new library is located, after you have walked the whole length of the hockey arena, there is an en-trance with a disability symbol. This entrance takes you to the downhill pathway that will eventually lead
you to the parking lots at the side of the building. I couldn’t read the writing across the small parking lot to see if it is public or employee parking.
Thirdly: Once you finally get to the library, you face the question of, “If I actually borrow a few books or videos, will I be able to carry them all the way to my vehicle?”
I look forward to my next visit with the bookmo-bile.
In my opinion, no matter where you park, people with mobility issues or health issues will have prob-lems. Their needs were definitely not taken in to con-sideration in the planning of this so-called lifestyle center.

Challenge to benefit MADD
COUNTY — The fourth annual youth versus police hockey challenge will take place February 22 in Liverpool.
The puck drops at 8:30 p.m. at Queens Place Emera Centre and benefits MADD Lunenburg-Queens.
The challenge promotes the “Don’t Drive Impaired” message and provides the local chapter with funds to present multimedia productions in local schools.
MADD Canada is the leading anti-impaired driving organization in the country and asks drivers to consider the following statistics:
• Road crashes are the number one cause of death among teens
• 45 per cent of teens killed on the road have been drinking.
• The incidents of youth driving after smoking marijuana are on the rise.
• 30 per cent of teens admit to getting in a car driven by someone who is im-paired by alcohol and/or drugs.
• Impaired driving is the number one criminal cause of death in Canada.
These deaths and injuries are 100 per cent preventable.

Bluenose Academy sends good luck banner to Alex DuckworthBy ROBERT [email protected]
LUNENBURG — Olympic snowboarder Alex Duckworth will have an entire coun-try cheering for her as she competes in the 2014 Winter Games being held in Sochi, Russia this week.
However, nowhere else in Canada is that support greater than in the Town of Lunenburg where Ms Duckworth is well known and loved by an adoring legion of fans.
Last week, staff and students of Blue-nose Academy did their best to emphasize that point by presenting a signed Lunen-burg banner to Ms Duckworth’s father, John, during an assembly held in the school’s gymnasium.
Along with the signatures of students and staff members, the banner was also signed by members of Lunenburg council, including Mayor Rachel Bailey who was on hand for the festivities.
Mr. Duckworth spoke to the students about his daughter, whom he called a great example of a person who followed her pas-sions.
“You never know where that’s going to take you,” he said. “It took her from Ski Martock all over the world. She has com-peted in New Zealand, Australia, in Korea, in Switzerland, in France, in Italy, Russia and Finland and all over North America.”
He said that after literally living out of her snowboard bag for 10 years, his daugh-ter finally got an apartment in Whistler, British Columbia this year “where she’s spent four days out of the last two months.”
“But it’s a great thing to do to follow what you love and see where it takes you,” he said. “I don’t think she ever thought she’d end up in the Olympics, but there she is.”
Mr. Duckworth said that while his daughter is ranked 14th in the world and is not a favourite to medal at the games, “the fact that she is there is just so wonderful.”

Today the Town of Bridgewater is one of the brighter lights, both commercially and economically,
in a province plagued by an aging and de-clining population, high unemployment and an uncertain future.
However, 115 years ago, there was much controversy over whether Bridge-water should even be incorporated. A situation that was exacerbated by a dev-astating fire that completely wiped out the downtown core in January of 1899, one month before the vote on incorpora-tion was set to take place.
It was a subject that was not only a hot topic among citizens of the soon to be town, but also with the local press, which was more than somewhat biased about the proposal.
C.J. Cragg was editor and “proprietor” of the Bridgewater Bulletin when citi-zens of the town officially voted to incor-porate in February 1899, and he wasted

no time voicing his opinions of the writ’s outcome — 266 for town status, 40 against — when the final tally came across his desk.
“The Bulletin takes off its hat to the citizens of Bridgewater,” Mr. Cragg wrote in an editorial piece he titled ‘Hurrah!.’ “The course of the Bulletin in the past, on this subject, is vindicated, and we claim no small share in the victory.”
He went on to write that “the common sense of the people, on all public ques-tions, must assert itself sooner or later, and justice be done.
“The false statements and boo-man antics of opponents of right and progres-sion scare at first, but better judgement is sure to prevail and in the end, that which is proper and just will triumph,” he continued. “The severe drubbing given on Saturday to those who tried to ruin the town at a time when it was absolutely nec-
essary to build it up, should teach them to expend their energies in future on better things, and to unite with us all in making a town fit to live in and an attraction to tourists, prospective citizens and manu-facturers.”
Mr. Cragg trumpeted that Bridgewater was entering a new era in its history, “and it depends entirely on its citizens wheth-er it shall or shall not be prosperous.
“Now that incorporation is a settled fact, the forty [sic] ratepayers who exer-cised their judgement in voting against the measure should join the majority in facing the future with a firm determina-tion to work out the town’s salvation,” he said. “In union there is strength, and there is ample opportunity for the truth of this adage to be verified now.
“The possibilities under incorporation are great, but we join hands with those who deem it prudent to feel the way cau-tiously,” he said. “Let us not disappoint those who placed confidence in us, nor give those who fought the incorporation movement a chance to say ‘I told you so.’”
Following the town’s incorporation, the next order of business was the elec-tion of a mayor and council, a process that occurred the following Wednesday.
Mr. Cragg was also shameless in his opinion as to how that should unfold as well as whom he believed should be the first municipal head of the new town.
“We will not countenance, abet, nor aid any hole-in-the-corner action that will thwart the exercise of popular senti-ment,” he warned. “We will fight tooth and nail any attempt to foist on the public a ticket selected by any clique, private meeting or party whose object it may or may not be to exploit private schemes. The Bulletin constitutes itself the guard-ian of the people’s rights, and the people may confidently rely on it exposing any-thing and everything calculated to be sprung on the citizens of this town in any
way, except openly and above board.”He later went on to write that, after
using its “voice and pen” in praising the virtues of incorporation, the paper “now propose to retain the confidence of these friends by insisting that the town shall be governed by the people and for the people.
“Any attempt at a private manipula-tion will receive our condemnation and the underlying object of the schemes laid bare to the public gaze,” he said. “We do not anticipate anything that is not fair and square, but we deem it prudent to sound a warning, and to assure the citi-zens of Bridgewater that their best inter-ests will be jealously guarded.”
With that, Mr. Cragg openly backed Frank Davison, Esq., who was known in some circles as “The Lumber King of Nova Scotia,” to be the town’s inaugural mayor, writing that many people voted for the incorporation “with the distinct understanding” that would be the case.
“No better man can be chosen, and we hope Mr. Davison will get the nomina-tion.”
Of course Mr. Davision did win the nomination, and unanimously, but served the town just one year in the position, stepping aside in favour of his brother E.D. Davison Jr. in 1900.
Frank Davison continued to exhibit a passion for everything in the town, push-ing particularly hard in the pursuit of building a new high school.
That became a reality when he partici-pated in the laying of the cornerstone for a new structure on November 5, 1913.
Unfortunately, Mr. Davison never saw his dream come to fruition as he suffered a stroke that very day while returning to his office and died five days later.

BRIDGEWATER — A local program that helps prevent relapse in anxiety and de-pression is celebrating its 10th anniver-sary.
Mindfulness helps participants learn to approach their lives in the present moment and in a non-judgemental way. It combines meditation, discussion and at home prac-tices.
“People with depression and anxiety tend not be in the present moment, says clinical social worker Sharon Driscoll. “If they’re anxious they tend to be worried about the future, if they’ve been depressed they tend to ruminate about the past.”
“The other part is they really get stuck there,” adds clinical psychologist, Dr. George Buranyi. “The more prone you are to depression, or [if] you’ve had a lot of ex-periences that are maybe negative to start with growing up, then it’s really easy for that stuff to be sticky for you and you tend to drift back into it.”
Mindfulness is the first of its kind in the province and was adapted from research done at the Centre for Addiction and Men-tal Health in Toronto.
Ms Driscoll and Dr. Buranyi started the program 10 years ago after learning about the research, which found relapse in de-pression was reduced by 50 per cent.
“Most folks who’ve had three episodes of depression relapse at about 85 per cent.” says Dr. Buryani.
They contacted the researchers, includ-ing Zindel Segal, and were encouraged to pursue Mindfulness. After the first ses-sions were held on the South Shore, par-ticipants had a 40 to 50 per cent reduction in stress, anxiety and depression.
The nine-week program values confi-dentiality and anonymity, factors that Ms Driscoll says influence the comfort level of participants, and whether or not they choose to participate — especially in a small community.
“We actually don’t need to know the con-tent of someone’s thoughts, to give them instruction about what to do with mindful-ness practice,” she says. They can say, “I’m having a disturbing thought that keeps coming back and coming back. We don’t need to know what the thought is, people can keep a level of privacy if they want in the course,” she says.
One in five Canadian will experience a mental illness within their lifetime. Eight per cent will experience a major depres-sion, and 12 per cent will experience an anxiety disorder. Over the past 10 years, Mindfulness has had 400 participants in the program located in both Bridgewater and Liverpool, demonstrating consistent and encouraging results.
Dr. Buryani says Mindfulness helps par-ticipants gain a more “balanced view,” of themselves and situations they may face.
“It brings in people’s ability to be kind and gentle and compassionate to themselves, which is really difficult es-pecially if you’re somebody that’s been depressed. One of the hallmarks of de-pression is the tremendous self-criticism people have, and how hard they can be on themselves,” he says.
The two-hour sessions are held once a week, including daily at home practices which take a fair level of commitment.
To complete the course “it’s really im-portant that people’s lives be pretty sta-ble,” says Ms Driscoll adding “if they’re in the midst of things going on in they’re family or if they’re still feeling somewhat depressed, or in an anxiety episode,” then it is perhaps not the right time to participate.
“The analogy we use is, you don’t give a person a swimming lesson if they’re being carried away by the current of a river, so they need to be if you like, on shore,” says Ms. Driscoll.
“And you throw them a life preserver instead of a lesson,” adds Dr. Buranyi.
The program hopes to reach more people by offering drop-in sessions in Bridgewater. The one-hour session will be held in the conference room of the Ad-dictions and Mental Health Service, Daw-son Centre, 197 Dufferin Street, starting February 19 from 4 to 5 p.m. and is free and open to anyone. For more informa-tion call 543-5400.
Local mental health program celebrates 10th anniversary
Clinical social worker Sharon Driscoll and clini-cal psychologist Dr. George Buranyi are the organizers of Mindfulness, a pro-gram that works to prevent relapse in anxiety and depres-sion.

BRIDGEWATER — Local emergency management officials practiced their information-gathering prowess and got a taste of the decision-making stresses that go along with it as they sifted through a sequence of disastrous incidents in the fic-tional western Nova Scotia town of Valleyfield.
Last week’s tabletop simulation, activated inside the emer-gency operations centre at the Municipality of Lunenburg’s ad-ministration building, involved numerous personnel, including government staff from municipalities that are part of a regional emergency management accord.
Players involved in the exercise as-sumed different roles, including first re-sponders.
The Valleyfield scenario was believed to be one of the first times the regional emergency management team was tested with an exercise planned by the Nova Scotia Emergency Management Organi-zation.
“This is where you want mistakes to happen so that you can learn from them,” said Bridgewater Police Chief John Col-lyer, who as designated media contact for the Valleyfield matter. “You don’t want mistakes to happen in real life. That’s the beauty of an exercise like today’s.”
Valleyfield (population 4,000) experi-enced a steady douse of freezing rain, which played a factor in causing a six-vehicle crash that killed a person. The incident shut down a major intersection and cut off a significant transportation artery. Adding to the headache were nec-essary evacuations as a result of a trac-tor trailer overturning and taking out a power pole. The truck was plump with hazardous goods. Throw in a roof col-lapse at a school and a train derailment and you have a brain-taxing combination of rare circumstances to deal with.
“It really was a sort of a perfect storm,” Chief Collyer explained. “There [were] more than enough disasters going on in the poor little town of Valleyfield this morning.”
Officials learned many lessons in terms of communication and coordina-tion, he said.
Emergency management exercise deals with
‘perfect storm’ scenario in fictional town
Regional Emergency Management co-ordinator Heather MacKenzie-Carey, Municipality of Chester emergency management coordi-nator Arden Weagle, left, and Steve Mills of Emergency Man-agement Nova Sco-tia examine a map of the fictional town of Valleyfield.

Bridgewater estimates $67,000 price tag to deal
with Kinsmen Field drainage issue
Town council considers projectin 2014-15 budget deliberations
By KEITH [email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — Kinsmen Field refurbishment in the form of installation of a modern drainage system will cost at least double the combined $30,000 committed by a corporate donor and a national community award.
Based on presentations from Bridgewater’s recreation and engineering department staff, it’s estimated the direct value of the Kinsmen Field work is in the $67,400 ball-park. The job, figured to take about four weeks to finish, includes install-ing pipework about 50 centimetres under the turf, all in an effort to improve the gridiron for South Shore Seahawks Minor Football, the major user of the town-owned field.
The matter is a topic of political discussion, as town council decides what projects make it into the 2014-15 budget. Solving the drainage issues is an im-portant part of maintaining the integrity of the well-used field, Mayor David Walker told southshorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin last week.
With last year’s $25,000 award from a celebration tour spon-sored by Kraft and The Sports Network, and another $5,000 private sector donation, it means Bridgewater would have to come up with about $37,000 but the project could be eligible for funding via the federal gas tax agreement with Nova Scotia municipalities.
Bridgewater’s engineering department wants to include a $70,000 water-capturing system focused on nearby Oak Street, which they believe will make a difference.
“Certainly, I think Oak Street is contributing a significant amount of water and that should be addressed as part of this overall program,” acting town engineer Larry Feener told councillors last week. The department is also interested in add-ing a second water-intercepting step that would cost a further $50,000.
The Kinsmen Field developed a reputation for not draining well when there’s consistently wet weather, rendering the play-ing surface unusable.
The field closed for several weeks in 2012, forcing Seahawks football players to venture an hour’s drive away for home games. The closure also meant lost canteen revenue and missed opportunity for other groups to use the field.
“Certainly, I think Oak Street is contributing a significant amount of
water and that should be addressed as part of this
overall program.”Larry Feener

By ROBERT [email protected]
Mark Labine is very proud of his an-cestry, as well he should be.
The Minneapolis, Minnesota native says his lineage has many roots, but his ancestral surname originated in the now UNESCO World heritage town of Lunen-burg.
“That’s where you first find the name, so Lunenburg has a special place in my heart,” he says.
Now a family court judge in his home state, Mr. Labine has made three trips to Nova Scotia’s South Shore in his life-time, the most significant back in 2004 when descendants of the Guidry, LeBine and Pettipas families, who first came to Lunenburg in 1680s, returned to their roots for a reunion during the Congrés Mondail Acadien.
“I’ve been trying to find a way to get my kids a little interested in their his-tory and also to tell the story to my rela-tives and other people I know about their roots,” he explains.
During his visit, local historian David Corkum gave he and his fellow Acadians a tour of the town and at one point, the conversation turned to Oak Island.
“I remember he said he thought there might be some connection between Oak Island and the people who lived in Merli-gueche [Lunenburg’s original name],” he says. “Our name Guidry is a mysterious name because we can’t actually find it anywhere in France. I actually found the name Guidry somewhere in Scotland. I don’t know if it was a freak or if some Guidry just moved there. So I just kind of thought that maybe this Claude Guidry was a Scottish guy and he was part of this Sir Thomas Temple settlement.”
Sir Thomas Temple and a Col. Wil-liam Crowe partnered to purchase most of Charles de Saint-Étienne de la Tour’s interest in Nova Scotia, including Merli-gueche, in 1656.
Spurred by that possible connection between Lunenburg’s Acadian history, Oak Island, and it’s rumours of buried treasure, Mr. Labine set out to pen a fact-based fictional book on the area.
The result is the recently released “Oak Island — An Acadian Tale,” an adventure that is set in the year 1744 in a small Acadian community 10 miles from what is now the home of the fa-mous money pit.
The storyline centres around the lives of a young Acadian and a young American girl as they travel together from Boston to Acadia and a search for Oak Island treasure.
“I had three objectives in writing this book. First, I wanted to write a story about Acadia that would enter-tain the reader, thus the book has trea-sure, treachery and romance,” Mr. La-bine says. “Secondly, I wanted to try to give the reader a sense of what it was like to live in Acadia right before the expulsion of 1755. Third, I hope this book sparks some curiosity in read-ers about Acadia and the area around present day Lunenburg.”
While he admits to taking some lib-erties in the story with regard to truth, Mr. Labine says he did try to be histori-cally accurate, for the most part, about the place and times.
“In other words, there were schooners and sloops in 1744. There were French Acadians who lived in Merligueche who
traded with the American colonists and who could speak English,” he says. “Oak Island does exist and there is some un-known treasure buried there.”

Last week I talked with Heather Squires of Sweetwood Farms about her cheesemaking classes and the goat cheese that she hopes
to sell at local farmers’ markets in the future. For those of you who are interested in trying goat cheese, though, you don’t have to wait — it’s al-ready available from other market vendors and at most supermarkets.
If you’ve never had goat cheese (also known as chevre) before, you’ll find the taste to be tangy and satisfying, quite unlike anything you’ve had before. Fresh goat cheese is easy to spread, similar to cream cheese. Try it in one of the recipes below, or use it as a substi-tute for cream cheese in one of your favourite dishes.
Chevre Tomato SpreadIngredients• 1 cup goat cheese• 1 tablespoon minced fresh rose-
mary• 1 tablespoon minced fresh oreg-
ano• 1/4 cup tomato paste or sun dried
tomato pesto• 2 cloves garlic, mincedDirectionsCombine all ingredients in a mix-
ing bowl and combine thoroughly. Transfer to a baking dish and broil until top of cheese browns, about five to seven minutes. Serve with baguette rounds or crackers.
Cheese BiscuitsIngredients• 2 cups all purpose flour• 2 teaspoons baking powder• 1 teaspoon sugar• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda• 1/2 teaspoon salt• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper• 1/4 cup cold butter chopped into small pieces• 1/4 cup minced green onions• 1/2 cup goat cheese• 1 cup buttermilk
DirectionsPreheat oven to 400°F. Lightly flour a clean sur-
face.Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, baking
soda, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly. Cut in cold butter quickly with clean hands. Add green onions, goat cheese, and butter milk. Mix with a fork until a sticky dough just forms.
Turn dough out onto floured sur-face and shape into a round, about 3/4 inches thick. Cut into eight wedges and transfer to an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Best served warm.
Chicken WheelsIngredients• 4 chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs
total)• Salt and pepper to taste• 4 cups loose spinach leaf• 3/4 cup goat cheese• 2 tablespoons butterDirectionsPreheat oven to 425°F.Cover chicken breasts with a
layer of plastic wrap and pound thin with a meat pounder or large, clean
hammer.Season pieces with salt and pepper. Layer spin-
ach leaves and goat cheese over pieces. Roll up pieces tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Heat a cast iron pan on medium high heat. Add butter, then chicken rolls. Brown on all sides.
Transfer pan to oven and cook until chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes, remove toothpicks, and slice into rounds to serve.

Senior thespians wantedfor ‘fun’ theatre group
Debbie Webber is hoping some fellow seniors in the Mahone Bay area will get bitten by the acting bug.
“My husband and I are both retired and we moved down here to Nova Scotia last November,” recalls the former resi-dent of Oshawa, Ontario. “We were inter-ested in getting involved in community events and developing a hobby.”
Having an interest in acting before, but never having the time to pursue it, Ms Webber decided that might be some-thing she would like to get involved in, so she began looking around to see if there were any amatuer theatre groups operat-ing around Mahone Bay but found none.
“There is in Chester and Lunenburg, but they are more professional. I wanted
something that was just of interest, not to go and put on performances for the public or anything like that, but just to have fun with it as a hobby.”
In an effort to recruit others to share her passion, she put posters up in stra-tegic locations looking to recruit fellow amateur thespians, but did not have much luck, garnering only a handful of responses.
Due to that lack of interest she had actually given up on the idea of trying to form such a group, but now has decided to give it one more try.
Seniors who might be interested in participating in some just-for-fun theatre can contact Ms Webber at 627-1709.
Brody receives Juno nominationSouth Shore based and multiple gold-
selling artist Dean Brody continues his run as one of Canada’s hottest country music artists.
Currently wowing audiences on his cross-Canada Crop Circles and Tractor Beams arena tour, Mr. Brody continues to add to his accolades, earning his third Juno Award nomination in the category of Country Album of the Year for his fourth album “Crop Circles.”
Released on November 5, “Crop Circles” debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Canada Country Album Chart and #3 on the Canadian Country Album Chart. The album features the gold-selling No. 1 smash record “Bounty” featur-ing Lindi Ortega and his current single
“Crop Circles.”In 2013, Mr. Brody became the first
male Canadian artist to earn two No. 1 songs at country radio in BDS and Mediabase history with his 2012 an-them “Canadian Girls” and his latest hit “Bounty.”
In addition to being named the No. 1 Most Played Canadian Artist at Coun-try Radio, to date Mr. Brody has earned seven Canadian Country Music Associa-tion Awards including consecutive wins for Album of the Year and Male Artist of the Year.
Although originally from British Co-lumbia, Mr. Brody and his family now make their home in the Chester area.

Local guitarist set to release new CDBy ROBERT [email protected]
Bob Ardern has been a very busy fellow lately.
The talented Lunen-burg guitarist, who completed a six-week solo tour of the East-ern United States last fall, is now prepar-ing for a return, three week trek through New England beginning in late March. This time teaming up with Shel-burne, Nova Scotia-based ukelele guru Manitoba Hal.
The tour will mark the kick-off of Mr. Ard-ern’s latest CD, “Crafts-man,” which he recent-ly completed recording at David Findlay’s Otitis Studio in Lunenburg.
“It’s a follow-up to ‘Wires, Rosewood and Roots,’ which was the last one I did and was all instrumen-tal,” Mr. Ardern explains. “It did pretty well.”
That album was nominated for a Zone Music Re-porter Award, accolades that are given out each year by a New Orleans-based company that offers artists, labels and promoters a variety of promotional ser-vices including subscription services, website spon-sorship, website advertising and CD reviews.
Mr. Ardern says that this latest effort is titled after a play on words that ties his crafting of music to his previous vocation as a cabinetmaker.
“David [Findlay] plays on it as well as producing it, and Kev Corbett plays on it and my friend Alyssa Wright,” Mr. Ardern says.”The various musicians were given a pretty free rein as to what to add to it in the way of backing music. Dave figured out the keyboard parts and Kev worked out the bass parts and the percussion. Alyssa got a score for one part
and improvised for a second, so there’s actu-ally two cello tracks.”
He will be promoting the new recording dur-ing this spring’s U.S. junket, which carries the odd but entertain-ing moniker The All Day Breakfast Tour.
“We were chatting one day and I was talk-ing about how much I like restaurants that serve breakfast all day — you can get bacon and eggs for dinner with home fries and toast,” he laughs. “And Hal said it’s a shame our music isn’t a bit more compatible be-cause we travel so well together, and we have travelled well together.
And I felt, well, is it so absurd to think about putting something together. So we talked about it and said yeah, we could do this.”
Mr. Ardern says that Manitoba Hal will be return-ing from a performance in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in and the two plan on hooking up in Boston.
“We’ve got a bunch of dates in Massachusetts, one at least in New Jersey, I’ve got a solo date in Hunting-ton on Long Island, and then Lubec, Maine,” he says. “I’m looking forward to it. It’s going to be fun going back out on the road.”
In the meantime, Mr. Ardern is in the process of trying to raise funds in order to have his “Crafts-man” CD published, and fans and music aficiona-dos can support the cause by visiting http://www.bobardern.ca and pre-ordering copies or booking house concerts.
“I’m extremely happy with it and now if we can get the fundraising in the works … I can actually af-ford to get it printed,” he said.
The screening of “Occupy Love: Revolution of the Heart” will be the second film event of 2014 organized by the South Shore Chapter of the Council of Canadians.
It is directed by Velcrow Ripper who also made the award-winning documentaries, “Sacred Sacred,” followed by “Fierce Light: When Spirit Meets Action.” It is a community-funded film produced in association with Super Channel and The Canada Media Fund.
“Occupy Love” poses an unusual question as the basis of its investigation into the motivations that drove the Occupy Movement — “How are the economic and ecological crises we are facing today a great love story?”
According to the film’s web site, the purpose of this docu-mentary is “to both reflect and catalyze this global awaken-ing to a world that works for all life, a world of economic and ecological justice.” The old paradigm where the concentra-tion of wealth is in the pockets of a few is collapsing. It has become clear that endless growth on a finite planet is not sustainable.
To this end, the film provides numerous entry points into being part of this global awakening by interviewing people from all walks of life, young and old, who took part in the Occupy Movement. Of special interest are the voices of aboriginal elders who help explain what, at first, seems like an unlikely and radical premise for the film. The elders do this by transforming the question about the economic and ecological crises as a love story using the tested but often ig-nored wisdom of indigenous cultures and their relationship with Mother Earth.
Many creative artists are featured in the film as well, including the performance artist Reverend Billy and his gospel choir from the “Church of Stop Shopping” — not to be missed for both their musical power and political humour.
The screening of the film will start at 7 p.m. on February 21 at the Mahone Bay Centre. Everyone is welcome to attend and then join the open discussion.
Refreshments, including Fair Trade coffee, will be served. Admission is free but donations will be accepted to help cover room rental and refreshment costs. For information about the event, contact the South Shore Chapter of the Council of Canadians at [email protected].

Sarah Taylor, left, and Jaimee Mulrooney have signed letters of intent to play soccer for Boise State and Dalhousie Universities, respectively.
Soccer recruits makeuniversity commitments
By STACEY [email protected]
A pair of South Shore soccer players have signed letters of intent to play for high profile university programs next season.
“It is very exciting to see two local players, who have been committed to both South Shore United and to the Nova Scotia provincial program, to have such a tremendous opportunity going forward,” said regional technical director John Charman about Sarah Taylor and Jai-mee Mulrooney, who both plan to study medicine at Boise State and Dalhousie, respectively.
“Jaimee and Sarah are exceptional students as well as athletes, which re-ally aids the recruiting process,” said Mr. Charman.
“They’ve worked very hard and I’m very pleased to see them head towards the next chapter in their playing careers and lives — with an opportunity for a great educations and high-level athlet-ics.”
Thanks to coaches such as Cindy Tye, Danny Worthington and especially Kate Hyslop, soccer has been more than a pas-time for Ms Taylor.
“My family situation was not really stable, so Kate kind of brought me under her wing and taught me how to be inde-pendent,” said the former Nova Scotia Canada Games team captain.
“Soccer has taught me so much more than just how to play the game. I’ve learned to be independent, to trust other
people, and make the best of every situ-ation, just like you would in a soccer game.”
The Conquerall Mills resident’s new coach at Boise State said the central mid-fielder brings as much to the team off the pitch as she does on it.
“When you are building a Division 1 soccer team there are many components that need to be accounted for. All of those components are underpinned by charac-ter — of the players, staff and adminis-tration,” said Jim Thomas.
“Rarely does a player of Sarah’s char-acter and maturity come along .... Sarah’s commitment to growth and development also put her at the top of our 2014 recruit-ing class.”
Meanwhile, Ms Mulrooney has had to overcome a devastating ACL tear which cost her a spot on last summer’s Canada Games team to reach this point.
“My knee was really wonky,” said the Chester Grant native, who spent about a year in gruelling rehab following the 2012 injury.
“Basically, I even had to teach myself how to run again.”
Dalhousie’s coach said Ms Mulrooney is an unusual combination of work ethic, intelligence and rare athletic abilities.
“She has tremendous athletic abilities which are a gift not very athlete pos-sesses,” said Jack Hutchinson.
“She is a versatile player. She can be used in several positions on the field or, as some people say, ‘She is not a one trick pony.’”

The Charlie’s Pizza South Shore Mustangs are on the verge of a Nova Scotia Major Midget Hockey League playoff series win, following a dramatic victory in Game 3 in Bridgewater on February 8.
Down 4-2 to the Valley Wildcats with less than three minutes remaining, Mitch Baker scored to give his team life.
“[The Mustangs] then tied the game up at four with 19 seconds left in the third with a goal from Christian Tufts,” said a press release from the club.
After that, Alex Nauss scored his second goal of the game with 2:43 left in the first overtime period to give the Mustangs a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Ty Duffus also scored in the victory, while Keith Getson assisted on both
third-period goals and Nicholas Dawe made 31 saves, including three in sud-den death.
In another home game the next day, the Wildcats scored a pair of late goals to stay alive with a 4-3 win.
Keith Getson scored twice in the first period to give the Mustangs’ rookie for-ward a team-leading five goals through four games, then he registered his 10th point with an assist on Alex Nauss’ fourth goal in the second period.
Colby Muise made 36 saves in the loss, and he now has a .920 save percent-age in his two games played.
The series was scheduled to return to the Valley for Game 5 on Tuesday, Feb-ruary 11, followed by Game 6, if neces-sary, on Friday night at the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre.
The winner of the series will ad-vance to Round 2 of the NSMMHL playoffs.

Junior badminton club excelsBy STACEY [email protected]
Members of the Bridgewater Junior Badminton Club returned home from the Kingston junior tournament with a boat-load of medals earlier this month.
“Catherine Talbot, Patricia Fortin and Kevin Corkum dominated their respec-tive age categories, with each player win-ning gold in all three of their events,” said a press release from the club.
“Several other club members won mul-tiple medals as well, and all players re-turned home having at least one top-three finish at the competition.”
Under-12 (U12) player Matthew Cork-um won the tournament’s fair play award for his outstanding etiquette and sports-manship.
The overall results included gold med-allists:

The South Shore’s largest school may soon field a football team for the first time in its history.
“We have a highly motivated group of individuals interested in bringing foot-ball to Park View,” said principal Gord Walters about the South Shore Seahawks football club.
“They should be commended for their efforts to date and continue to promote the program [even] if the team does not form for the 2014 season. I have no doubt that Park View will have a football team in the near future.”
Seahawks volunteer John Peters agreed.
“Park View will have a football team. It’s just a matter of getting all the ducks in a row and making it happen, but it will happen.”
He said 48 players have already ex-pressed formal interest in playing, and a major sponsor has anted up $10,000 toward start-up costs. Therefore, the pro-gram could be up and running as soon as next fall.
“If not, we may be able to come up with something else to at least keep the inter-
est in the program up.”For example, the school team could
practice and perhaps play exhibition games.
Regardless, the minor and high school programs would be perfect complements for each other.
“Those kids who don’t have high school football, from ages 15 to 17, they don’t have anywhere to play. When they finish bantam they’re done,” said Mr. Peters, who helped found the Seahawks organiza-tion two years ago.
“Park View is a natural extension of the minor program,” said Mr. Peters, explaining many of the bantam players could transition directly from the minor program to Park View.
“The high school needs a minor pro-gram to feed it, so the two really work well together.”
Meanwhile, there are also plans to six-on-six or eight-on-eight minor midget football league for 15 to 17-year-olds on the South Shore, perhaps forming by this summer.
Mr. Peters said if grants to support it are approved, the league would likely include teams in the New Germany, Ches-ter, Bridgewater and Liverpool areas.

Kippers celebrate40 years
By LISA [email protected]
Gymnasts were flying high February 8 in Bridgewater.
The Kippers School of Gymnastics cel-ebrated its 40th anniversary with an open house. Visitors were wowed by demonstra-
tions of gymnastic skills, cheering, ribbon work and dance.The school also took a look back in time, as
speakers recounted a history that saw it grow from modest beginnings through a series of locations to
its current home in Gateway Plaza.“The programs here have expanded,” said Deanna
Oickle Conrad, a Kippers coach and former president. “We’ve diversified and we’re trying to keep up with new
trends and we’ve really grown.“If it wasn’t for parents, board members, volunteers, every-
one in the community, we wouldn’t be here.”

You can get involved by registering a team on-line at http://www.gutsywalk.ca,

Gutsy Walk for Crohn’s and Colitis coming to BridgewaterBy LEENA ALI
BRIDGEWATER — The first Gutsy Walk for Crohn’s and Colitis is being held on the South Shore this summer.
Crohn’s and Colitis are together known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and affect one in 150 Canadians. That’s about 250,000 peo-ple, and it continues to grow.
“Most people I talk to, don’t know what it is … it’s amazing how many people have this disease and it doesn’t have aware-ness,” says Jody O’Donnell, chairman of the Gutsy Walk.
That’s one reason why he’s organizing the walk, which is held in 59 communities across the country. He admits he wasn’t fully aware until four years ago when his 16-year-old son Jonathan O’Donnell was diagnosed with Crohn’s.
“He was just pale, losing some weight. He lost close to 20 pounds, had lumps all over his body [and] had sores in his mouth,” says Mr. O’Donnell. “I want to find a cure for him. He’s still young and he’s been suffering for a while now.”
According to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada, the disease cre-ates problems with the body’s immune system causing the intestines to become inflamed and ulcerated. Mr. O’Donnell’s family was touched by the generosity of the local community when his son was sick.
“We had visits at the IWK, we had gifts sent to us, we had money sent to us. It would put tears into your eyes, of how giving this area is.”
Each year, a young person affected by the disease is chosen as the honourary chairman for Gutsy Walk, and this year that’s Jonathan O’Donnell. “He continues with his medication and infusions, but he’s in remission right now so he’s doing really well,” says Mr. O’Donnell.
He says the South Shore has the high-est rate of Crohn’s and Colitis in Canada, and hopes the event will spread aware-ness in the area. Although researchers are getting close to finding a cure, there’s still not enough funding available.
The funds raised from the Gutsy Walk for Crohn’s and Colitis will go towards research and improving the lives of chil-dren coping with the disease. It’s being held on June 8, Shipyards Landing, from 11 a.m to 3 p.m. The walk starts at 1 p.m. and will leave in two separate groups for walkers and runners.
Mr. O’Donnell says there will plenty

Crimeprevention
meeting plannedBy LISA BROWN
COUNTY — Anyone concerned about crime in their community is invited to at-tend a meeting in Lunenburg February 17.
The Lunenburg County Crime Preven-tion Association opens its doors to the public once a year in hopes of getting more people involved and raising aware-ness of crime prevention initiatives.
This year’s meeting will be held at the provincial building beginning at 7 p.m.
RCMP Cst. George Wooten says every-one is welcome.
“Community involvement is important due to the limited resources that the po-lice have. We can’t be everywhere every minute of the day,” the constable says.
“People have to be part of the solu-tion.”
Jonathan O’Donnell will be the hon-ourary chairman of the Gutsy walk for Crohn’s and Colitis. Each year a young person with Crohn’s is chosen to represent the event, and speak at the walk.
“Most people I talk to, don’t know what it is … it’s amazing how many people have this disease and it doesn’t
have awareness.”Jody O’Donnell

Local women’s centre supports public inquiry on missing and murdered Aboriginal women
By CHARITY FRASERSecond Story Women’s Centre Board Member
COUNTY — February 14 marks the 23nd annual Women’s Memorial March to honour missing and murdered Aborigi-nal women.
This tradition was started by the Van-couver Downtown Eastside Women’s Cen-tre in 1991. It has since grown to be a national event where women’s groups across the country gather to draw atten-tion to the thousands of women who have gone missing or been murdered across Canada.
An estimated 1,000 Aboriginal women have been murdered or gone missing within the past two decades alone. Ab-original women are almost three times as likely to die at the hands of a stranger than other women.
The Downtown Eastside Women’s Cen-tre’s press release for this year’s event says, “Women continue to go missing or be murdered with minimal to no action to address these tragedies or the systemic nature of gendered violence, poverty, rac-ism, or colonialism.”
The press release calls for a national and international public inquiry. Last year, in fact, the United Nations Commit-tee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women said, “Hundreds of cases involving aboriginal women who have gone missing or been murdered in the past two decades have neither been fully investigated nor attracted priority atten-tion.”
Over the past 40 years more than 3,000 women are known to have gone missing or been murdered in Canada — more than 75 women every year; more than six women each month. This is a na-tional crisis. Mothers, daughters, sisters and grandmothers are being murdered or going missing at an alarming rate.
Closer to home was the violent mur-der of Tina Mae Eisnor, who was killed by her estranged husband Wayne Paul Eisnor, in New Germany in 2010. Ottilia Chareka was beaten to death by her hus-band Patrick in Antigonish in 2011. Paula Gallant was strangled by her husband Jason Wayne MacRae in Timberlea in 2005. Elizabeth MacPherson and Brittany MacPherson were (allegedly) murdered by Gerald Rushton in Bible Hill only a month and a half ago.
Second Story Women’s Centre joins the call for a public inquiry into the missing and murdered Aboriginal women. Add your name to the petition by the Native Women’s Association of Canada (http://www.nwac.ca). Donate to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre ongoing work on this issue (womensmemorialmarch.wordpress.com).
Send an e-mail to Gerald Keddy ([email protected]) and Prime Minis-ter Harper ([email protected]) letting them know you support a public inquiry and concerted government ac-tion to end violence against all women. Educate yourself on this issue and talk to your family, friends and neighbours.

LIFESTYLE & LEISURE
In “The Private Lives Of Birds — A Scientist Reveals The Intricacies Of Avian Social Life,” by Bridget
Stutchbury, she writes a little about the boundaries set up by birds.
During the summer, chickadees set up territories and have boundaries staked out by pairs, but things are dif-ferent during the winter when flocks have a complex social network and set up and defend a large group territory. When these flocks encounter one an-other at territorial bound-aries, members make a distinct call and jostle and chase each other.
I learned that within each flock there is a clear-cut pecking order, generally with older male birds hold-ing the top positions and being socially dominant over younger birds. Low-ranked birds will quickly leave the feeder if a more dominant flock member ar-rives.
So rank determines ac-cess to winter food. Top ranked birds remain paired during the winter and claim the best breeding habitats come spring. Most young chickadees join a flock in their first winter as the lowest ranked bird and wait in line for a breeding position, gradually moving up in rank until the older birds die. Some young chickadees will float between flocks and can jump rank if a top-ranked chickadee disap-pears.
A second ranked bird, who is al-ready paired with a female, would not benefit by breaking his bond with the female so he could move into the top position. This also goes for lower ranked birds who are already pair bound to a female, so a floater can in-stantly go from the lowest rank into to the highest position.
Ella Boehner of Lunenburg reports that a northern flicker has been tend-ing there. She watched an American crow attack a hawk, by pecking it on the head. Crows do not like hawks and owls and will often drive these birds to the ground, killing them.
The crow did not kill the hawk on the first day of Ella’s observations. The next day she observed the same actions with the hawk on the ground
and a crow coming up behind it and pecking at the hawk’s head. She has not seen the hawk since, so whether the crows were successful in killing it is unknown.
Numbers of people are still seeing American robins that are surviving our winter. I had one in East LaHave and Craig Oakes saw nine in Conquer-all Mills. Others have also told me about sightings of this species.
Hillary Dionne observed a northern goshawk trying to hunt muskrats in the South-west Cove of Big Tancook Island. During the most recent snow storm, Sharon LeBlanc had a juvenile northern shrike show up at her feeders at Wake Up Hill in Marriotts Cove.
Chris Pepper and Kate Steele led a Nova Scotia Bird Society outing for beginning birders to Mar-tinique Beach. Twenty peo-ple took advantage of that outing. Highlights were a rough-legged hawk, 28
dunlins, 13 sanderlings and two snowy owls. Blake Maybank at White’s Lake reported that a white-crowned sparrow was still there as of February 2.
I wrote about modifications that Eleanor Lindsay of St. Margarets Bay had done to a feeder to try and keep Eu-ropean starlings out, so that a male Bal-timore oriole that was tending could survive the winter. The story ended in a sad way. After a day of the starlings unable to enter and the oriole feeding successfully, four European starlings only remained around the feeder. These starlings spent an entire day consis-tently harassing the oriole within sec-onds of its arriving at the feeder and entering the cage. That was the last day that Eleanor saw the oriole.
The Depths of Winter List (DOWL) started on February 1 and goes until February 28. By February 2, 76 species were added to the list. Our winter list, which started December 1 and runs through to the end of February, is at 183 species. Until February 1, this fig-ure was the lowest in 13 years.

My family routinely shared sto-ries of our past while I was growing up. As a kid I believed
other families did the same. Children often feel every family does what their relatives do because their experiences are limited to a small part of the world. This is less likely today since children are more often exposed to different life styles on television and while travelling, but back when I was kid — with two black and white channels and only the neighbourhood to explore — life outside my little circle was practically unknown.
Living in this cocoon prevented me from learning about other life styles and protected me from the larger world, but the real benefit of my life was that I knew a great deal about my family. Not only did we have daily sit-down meals together, we often interacted outside the home.
Through these times of togetherness, I heard thousands of stories, both good and bad. I have many tales stored in my memory for each individual in my family. Growing up I was repeatedly told when Mom met Dad, where each of them grew up, who hid the rum bottle in the out-house, whose ship went down with them on it and countless stories of births — mostly those of my 10 siblings and mine.
I could easily fill a book with family stories without breaking a sweat. Accord-ing to researchers at Emory University, I’m a fortunate individual. Experts have discovered that families who have a good working-knowledge of family history are stronger and better able to cope with life’s difficulties.
A study released March 3, 2010 re-vealed, “Children who know stories about relatives who came before them show higher levels of emotional well-being.” Sixty-six middle-class, mixed-race, 14 to 16-year-olds were assessed by “multiple standardized measures of family functioning, identity development and well-being.” They were then given
a twenty-question family history quiz. Those who scored highest on the test re-vealed “higher levels of emotional well-being, and also higher levels of identity achievement.”
Genealogists who have been research-ing their family trees for any length of time could easily pass the quiz. The his-tory questions took the form of “Do you
know…” For example: Do you know how your parents met, where your mother grew up and where your parents mar-ried?
The researchers also asked if the adolescents knew sto-ries around their birth, the origin of their name and who they most looked like in the family. The more they an-swered yes, the higher score they received.
The answers to these ques-tions are found in the many stories that are often passed down through generations and shared amongst family
members during casual conversations.I feel it’s not the child knowing the
answers to these specific questions (whether they be truth or lie passed down through families), but the fact that through this basic knowledge of family lines they realise they are a member of a bigger force. They don’t stand alone on this Earth, and as we’ve all learned: there is power in numbers which trans-lates into inner of strength. Stories also tell us that even though there may be bad times, it doesn’t mean we can’t overcome tragedy and hardship and move forward in life.

Rosedale New Horizon Seniors’ Club celebrate book launch
The Rosedale New Horizons set Janu-ary 19 as the date for their book launch — the earliest opportunity to showcase their book after it was released from Lighthouse Publishing.
“Reflecting on the Past” is a compila-tion of life stories of 48 members of the club. The stories convey messages of hard work and family values from an era far different from today; memories now captured in print to preserve for future generations.
The morning of the launch, members awoke to a power outage from an over-night storm that dropped six inches of snow. Although beautiful to look at, the heavy wet snow created hazardous driv-ing conditions, particularly on unplowed roads. However, Rosedale members and the public turned out with interest and great support of the book.
The cover of the book depicts a lighted oil lamp sitting on a doily next to an open
vintage photo album, a scene that was captured for the book launch. The vintage photo album captured a lot of attention.
Keith Trimper, one of the founding members, spoke at length on the history of the club and its continuance.
Sales of the book were brisk. Two cakes were cut — white and chocolate — and a lunch was served. Bill Alexan-der, book project co-ordinator, presented Alice Wile with a copy of the book and thanked her for the countless hours she spent on the project from cover to print. Nancy Veinot was away that day but was included in the thank-yous for her dedica-tion and contribution to the project.
For anyone not available to attend the launch, books are available for purchase from the club (644-2217), the Freshmart Store, New Germany and at Mader’s Clo-ver Farm in Barss Corner. To date, the comments members have received have been very favourable.

Lunenburg now option for international English studentsBy PAULA LEVY
Lunenburg may become the perfect place for foreign students to live and study English.
New Voice Language Academy recent-ly launched a new business model and is currently recruiting international stu-dents ages 18 to 25 who want to learn the most widely used language in the world, especially in scientific and business com-munities.
Academy owner, Nicola Sattler, ex-plained that international agencies exist which market independent language schools in locations across North Amer-ica. New Voice will be among those in-dependent language schools offered to potential students.
“We’re going to be one of many choic-es,” said Ms Sattler. But this school has a unique selling point.
New Voice is situated in a world heri-tage site in rural Nova Scotia instead of a large centre. Large cities not only have higher crime rates, they also tend to have ethnic communities which can delay the process in learning a new language.
“If you learn a language in a big city, you’re going to have a Latin community, a China Town, a Little Italy. You can go to a grocery story and speak your own language. Here, you’re fully immersed and truly, fully immersed,” said Ms Sat-tler. “They can come here for the safety and the rural experience, which many of these young people have never had.”
Ms Sattler said New Voice staff is tar-geting young people who have finished high school and plan on taking a gap year to improve their English skills before furthering their studies. The Lunenburg school is currently going through an ac-creditation process, so its graduates can bypass a proficiency English language test before being accepted in an English-speaking university.
“So, we can be a pathway into universi-ties,” said Ms Sattler.
Programs for ex-change students do currently exist in high schools. In this pro-gram, the student is en-rolled in regular class-es but does not receive the necessary amount of targeted training in English.
“There is some English language sup-port, but really they learn by being sub-mersed. Here, we teach the language … so they not only acquire it just by hearing it all the time, we actually build language. That way you hopefully learn faster and in a more targeted way,” said Ms Sattler, who has firsthand experience as an Eng-lish learner.
Ms Sattler immigrated to Canada with her family when she was 12 years old. She was completely submerged in Eng-lish at school making it difficult to learn.
She said although things have changed a great deal since she immigrated from Germany, it is a difficult transition from their native language to a completely new language.
Eventually Ms Sattler learned English, graduated from Park View Education Centre and went on to obtain a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education. Her
personal experience of learning a new lan-guage inspired her to help others. She be-came TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) certified and has taught Eng-lish in Spain. Her personal experiences taught her that build-
ing language skills was a better way to become proficient in English.
After returning to the South Shore, Ms Sattler’s personal and now professional experience, earned her several contracts to tutor immigrants. She worked both with grade school students and Immigra-tion Settlement and Integrations Services teaching the English language to new-comers.
“I think I can understand what a new-comer or a person learning a new lan-guage is going through,” said Ms Sattler.
“I intuitively knew what I had to do to make language make sense.”
She continued with these contracts in order to live and work on the South Shore and soon had an idea to develop a language academy where she would not only continue teaching immigrants, but she could recruit international students.
The former post office on King Street in Lunenburg offered suitable accommo-dations for the school. Renovations en-abled the New Voice to develop six class-rooms that could accommodate eight to 10 students in each. But Lunenburg also had a dormitory available where students could live. The dorm that can accommo-date nearly 40 students was left vacant by Class Afloat.
But living in a dorm isn’t the only option. Students can also choose to have a host-family in a HomeStay program where they live with a Canadian family.
The English program for international students is just a part of the services of-fered by the independent language acad-emy. There is also tutoring available in any subject from a roster of qualified teachers. The local students are primar-ily students who are struggling in a par-ticular subject and need extra help.
In addition, New Voice Language Academy also offers language courses in Chinese, Spanish, French and German.
Those teachers are native speakers.“I think this is really cool for Lunen-
burg,” said Ms Sattler. “Students will be here, not only in the summer months when this place is bustling with tourists, they will be here year-round. It’s a huge advantage to be here and I think the type of people we recruit will get that too.”
New Voice Language Academy has started recruiting international students to study English in Lunenburg. Here owner Nicola Sattler talks about the expansion of the business in their new Lunenburg school.
New Voice Lan-guage Academy owner Nicola Sat-tler, middle, and English as a second language teacher Mandy Hynes help Riddh Hazra, aged seven, with his English lessons. In addition to his stud-ies at Bridgewater Elementary School, Riddh is also a stu-dent at New Voice.

COUNTY — The new “Trailblazers Outdoor Club” is try-ing to get kids to turn off their electronics and get turned on to outdoor activities.
“It’s 100 per cent outdoors, rain or shine, after-school program,” said Municipality of Lunenburg active living co-ordinator Tracy Vandermolen.
It could be a big outdoor game like capture the flag, or to learn different outdoor skills, maybe building or outdoor shelter or tracking.
“It depends on what the kids want to learn and what the co-ordinators have in their bags to teach. It’s really just about getting the kids outdoors, no matter what.”
She said statistics show kids are far too inactive to be healthy, and a big reason for that is for many young people, after school means screen time.
“After school is one of the best times to increase physical activity,” said Ms Vandermolen.
“So in the time between when the bell rings and supper is a perfect time to get kids outside, and having it right on the school property makes it easier for kids and for parents.”
Based on similar programs in other parts of the province, the Trailblazers were expected to begin this week at elemen-tary schools in Petite Riviere, West Northfield and Newcomb-ville. If it’s successful, the program could branch out to other schools in the future.
“I know other schools we’ve talked to have really liked the idea, and if we can expand, we’d love to.”
Trailblazers is run through the municipality, and funded through the Health Promoting Schools initiative and the De-partment of Health and Wellness, along with other similar programs such as a learn to run group at Bluenose Academy, field time at the HB Studios Fieldhouse for Hebbville Acad-emy, and a swimming course for Pentz students.
The Municipality of Chester is also offering its own ver-sion of Trailblazers, called “Open Air Society.”

“May the Peace of Christ Jesus be with you today and always”
By STACEY [email protected]
MAHONE BAY — Greg Byrne has a simple message for on-line bullies.
“You can’t hide behind a keyboard anymore.”The member of Nova Scotia’s new cyberbullying
investigative unit recently told Bayview Academy stu-dents his first step with almost any complaint is to resolve the matter informally, with an in-person visit to the alleged cyberbully.
“That’s all we want. We want the behaviour to stop so the person that’s being bullied on the Internet doesn’t have to deal with it anymore.”
However, the courts can now hold cyberbullies re-sponsible for their actions through restriction of inter-
net use, confiscation of electronic devices, prohibiting contact with victims and other measures.
“But if you stop, we’re done.”That said, if the bullying continues, or starts again,
more serious court action can be taken.Meanwhile, he said many parents mistakenly think
if they follow their children’s Facebook accounts, they know what their kids are up to on-line.
“Young people still have Facebook accounts, but they’re not being used the way they were a short while ago. … As one Grade 7 told me, ‘The last thing I need is my grandmother creeping me on Facebook,’” said Mr. Byrne.
“A lot of young people who do have Facebook ac-counts run duplicate accounts.”
In addition, many kids are using sites such as inter-
net forums, Tumblr, Chatroulette, Twitter, Google Plus, Skype, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat and 4Chat.
He said sites like Omegle and Ask.fm are particularly troublesome for investigators, and warned students to steer clear of them.
“All you’re doing is setting yourself up to be insulted.”Mr. Byrne also shared stories of some of the cases
he’s experienced, including people creating fake ac-counts and then insulting people’s friends and class-mates using that identity, and many cases of young women sending nude photos, which they later learn are not necessarily being kept private.
“Be careful what you’re doing out there. Once you send a picture, you surrender that to the Internet.”
