Battery industry
may soon get boost
from local company
By ROBERT HIRTLE
[email protected]
HEBBVILLE — Ralph Waldo Emerson once said
that if you build a better mousetrap the world will
beat a path to your door.
Now, a trio of Nova Scotia scientists think the
same thing will happen if you build a better battery
and they plan on producing the equipment which will
help manufacturers do that right here in Lunenburg
County.
“Basically, it’s our goal to get higher quality batteries out into the market,” says Chris Burns, CEO of
QNova which intends to set up production facilities
in Hebbville later this year. “The way we’re sort of
approaching that is from the equipment and testing
side of things.”
Mr. Burns says he and his two partners in the company all currently work at Dalhousie University in
Halifax where they carry out research on batteries.
One of the aspects of that involves trying to determine how long a battery will last.
“So, the battery in your cell phone or in your
laptop, things like that, most of the time you don’t
notice them getting much worse over the lifetime of
the device because you only have your cell phone for
two years, three years, something like that. It’s a relatively short time period,” Mr. Burns explains.
He says, however, that the next big push moving
forward in the technology of batteries is with electric
vehicles and to create energy storage.
“For those types of applications, you need batteries that will last not two to five years but maybe 10 to
20,” he says. “The issue is, how are you going to know
if your battery is going to last 10 years.”
Mr. Burns says that testing a battery for 10 years
to see if it will last that long and then ultimately putting it on the market does not work simply because of
the rapid changes that are happening in the world of
electronic technology.
“So the work that our company is doing is based
on the research that we’re doing here at Dalhousie,
which has shown that with really accurate equipment you can measure the efficiency of the batteries in the early cycles and the cells with the higher
efficiency in the early cycles have longer lifetimes,”
he says.

LOWER LAHAVE — The Brady E. Himmelman cable
ferry that crosses the LaHave River between the communities of East LaHave and LaHave drifted down river
after the pressure of ice flows yanked its cord free during the night of January 3.
The vessel eventually ran aground a few kilometres
south at Oxner’s Beach. The lone passenger on board
and the vessel’s captain and engineer were uninjured.
John Majchrowicz, the marine services manager for
Nova Scotia’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, credited all on board for how they

acted in the face of the situation.
“Speaking to my captain and my engineer, those guys
were really calm; they’re nautical guys. The passenger
is one that knows our ship and travels on it all the time,
so there was no hysteria or anything like that,” Mr. Majchrowicz said. He oversees ferry services in the province, including the Brady E. Himmelman.
“I’m sure they all had a bit of concern in their heart
but the captain acted really promptly in the beginning
… he dropped anchor, he called the coast guard, he
called the [Transportation Safety Board] … he did all the
regulatory things that he’s required to do.”

Stonehurst man dies in boating mishap
By ROBERT HIRTLE
[email protected]
STONEHURST — A 79-year-old male is dead following a
boating mishap in the small seaside community of Stonehurst.
Sgt. Paul Coughlan said RCMP received a call from neighbours around 1 a.m. January 6 reporting that the man had
gone missing.
“Earlier in the evening he was around his boat, I guess
breaking ice away from the hull,” Sgt. Coughlan said. “He was
later seen at his residence, so we believe he went back home
and then later in the evening neighbours noticed that his ve-
hicle wasn’t at home and his blinds were open. So they started
to look around for him and they found his vehicle down by the
boat and they couldn’t find him.”
He said four local fire departments as well as a helicopter from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in
Halifax responded to assist RCMP in the search. Several vessels from JRCC were also on route when the man’s body was
discovered.
“One of firemen found this fellow on the shoreline just
across from his boat,” he said.
Cpl. Coughlan said an autopsy would be performed to determine cause of death. The victim’s name has not yet been
released.
Guilty pleas in sex-for-drugs case
By LISA BROWN
[email protected]
COUNTY — A Chester Basin man will be back in court to
face sentencing in March after entering guilty pleas in a sexfor-drugs case.
Dustin Craig Collicutt had been scheduled to go to trial
Monday on charges of trafficking in hydromorphone and
breaching release conditions.
Instead, the 23-year-old entered guilty pleas to both charges.
His lawyer requested the preparation of a pre-sentence report
and the case was adjourned until March 24.
Federal prosecutor Josh Bryson told the court it will be a
contested sentencing hearing, suggesting it may take several
hours.
Mr. Collicutt has now admitted providing hydromorphone
between June 1 and September 30, 2012.
He is one of five men charged in connection with an investigation into drug activity in the Chester and Mahone Bay
areas.
That investigation began after police received information
that men were exchanging prescription drugs for sex with
four teen girls, ages 16 to 18.
Three other men are also slated to be back in court this
month in connection with the case.
Seventy-three-year-old Barry Lawrence Veinot of Mahone
Bay is charged with five offences, including trafficking in hydromorphone, unlawful confinement, sexual assault, sexual
exploitation and having anal intercourse, all involving one
teen girl. The allegations are dated between June 1, 2012, and
April 2, 2013.
Brendan Gregory Levy, 30, of Chester is charged with trafficking in hydromorphone and sexual exploitation.
Brandon Clarence Corkum, 21, of Chester Basin faces a
single count of procuring a person to have sexual intercourse.
Both of those cases date between June and September 2012.
Twenty-three-year-old Craig Linwood Ernst of Northfield
is due back in court in March. He is charged with trafficking
in hydromorphone, along with sexually touching a teen girl,
inviting her to touch him and sexually assaulting her between
June and September 2012.
BRIDGEWATER — A Bridgewater
man with eight prior impaired driving
convictions remains in custody after he
was arrested New Year’s Day for drinking
and driving.
Kevin Leroy Wheaton was remanded
to the Central Nova Scotia Correctional
Centre in Burnside Monday morning
after a brief appearance in Bridgewater
provincial court.
The 49 year old faces charges of failing the breathalyser and driving while
prohibited after a Bridgewater police constable stopped him on January 1.
Police say the officer recognized Mr.
Wheaton behind the wheel and knew he
was not licenced to drive.
The Crown is opposing Mr. Wheaton’s
release.
Although a bail hearing was scheduled
for Monday, legal aid lawyer Cathy Benton told the court her client was not ready
to proceed.
Mr. Wheaton agreed to remain in custody until Thursday when he is already
scheduled to be before the court for the
continuation of a trial into an allegation
that he trafficked in prescription medication in October 2011.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Ballard
died from an overdose in Mr. Wheaton’s
apartment on October 29, 2011. Mr. Wheaton is charged with providing the lethal
dose of clonazepam that led to his death.
Mr. Wheaton is also part way through
another trial on charges of refusing the
breathalyser, driving while prohibited
and breaching probation from July 2009
when police allege they spotted him driving in Mahone Bay. That trial is scheduled to resume on February 7.

Battery industry may soon
get boost from local company
BATTERY from A1
“The problem with what’s out there
on the market now is that the equipment isn’t accurate enough to tell the
difference between the cells in these
early cycles so they have to cycle them
for a long time to be able to tell the difference.”
Mr. Burns says that he and his colleagues started building such equipment, from scratch, in the lab several
years ago and now have prototypes
which have been proven to actually
work.
“We’ve tested cells and in a few weeks
we’ve said cell A is going to be the best,
then B, C and D, and then we ran them
for a year and you could see after a year
that A was clearly a little better than B,
which was a little better than C and D,”
he explains.
That technology will provide companies with the ability to do more precise
testing on batteries, thus speeding up
the research and development process
and producing higher performance
cells. It also provides them with better
quality control of those products.
“If you’re a big company and you
make a million cells a month or 10 million cells a month, how do you know
they’re all good,” he says. “But if you
have really accurate equipment and can
measure this efficiently in the first cycle
and can compare them, you can say
that everything in this batch of cells is
exactly the same, but this batch of cells
has a variation, relatively speaking, so
maybe something is wrong with that
production batch.”
Detecting defects with their batteries
in advance would save manufacturers
the expense and bad publicity of having
to issue a recall of sub-standard products after they hit the marketplace.
Mr. Burns says that the company is
still in the product development stage
and to this point have produced several
prototypes.
“It’s kind of a step progression. In the
move toward our full system … there’s
different stages of functionality,” he
explains. “We’re looking to have our full
system developed, the prototypes running and being able to push out to a few
customers we have waiting for them in
the next four to six months.”
Mr. Burns says Hebbville was chosen
as a production site for the devices due
to the company’s association with local
machinist Simon Trussler who does
work for the Dalhousie lab.
“We can use space at his facility when
we get into production of these things,”
he says. “Some of the equipment will
need machining work done and he will
likely do most of that work for us, so it
made sense to set up shop nearby him.”

COUNTY — The 2014 winter sport
fishing season opened New Year’s Day
at a number of selected lakes across
Nova Scotia.
A 2013 general fishing license, which
expires March 31 and can be purchased
at Department of Natural Resources
offices, is required to participate in the
fishery.
Sucker Lake, which is located just off
the Harold Silver Road in Upper Northfield, is the only waterway in Lunenburg County which is open to angling
during the winter fishery.
Permitted catches from that lake include rainbow trout and brook trout
and the bag limit is two fish per day.
A trio of lakes are open to winter
fishing in Queens County. Hidden Hills
Lake and Victoria Lake have the same
species and and bag limit restrictions
as Sucker Lake, while Louis Lake is
open to fish chain pickerel, white perch
and yellow perch with a bag limit of 25
fish per species.
“Winter sport fishing is a great way
for Nova Scotians of any age to enjoy
the outdoors,” Said Keith Colwell, Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture. “I
would like to encourage all anglers to
use caution this season when winter
fishing from shore, in boats or through
the ice.”
Anglers can also take advantage of
the annual winter sport fishing weekend February 15 and 16, when residents
and non-residents can fish in open winter sport fishing areas without a general fishing license.

COMMENT
Feds put money ahead of endangered fish species
O
nce again, the federal Conservatives have shown a complete disregard for Atlantic Canada with its
decision to dismantle the Mersey Biodiversity facility in Milton, Queens County.
It’s probably already too late for the
facility but time is surely running out to
save the most important Atlantic Salmon
and Atlantic White fish facility in the
world. Since December, the Department of
Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has been systematically decommissioning the facility
even though a group of dedicated volunteers has been trying to save it and the fish
it protects, so any effort to save it needs an
immediate show of public support.
The Nova Scotia Federation of Anglers
and Hunters has called on DFO to take a
step back from the dismantling of the site
and hold off its work until more discussion
can take place on the continued operation
of this world class facility. Considering the
important role this facility plays in protecting two endangered fish species, one
would think the federal government would
do just that, but it appears the pleas have
been for naught.
As Tony Rodgers, executive director of
the federation, argues, there is no need to
rush into killing this important facility,
but the feds are not listening. As he points
out, we can be assured that once this important piece of infrastructure is gone
there will never be a chance to reopen it
and the fallout in this region from this de-
cision will be huge.
As part of its on-going budget cuts, the
Conservatives earmarked the closure and
demolition of this important facility even
though it is the only facility currently
propagating the endangered Atlantic
whitefish. Once found throughout southwestern Nova Scotia, this species is now
found only in a very small area of the
lower Petite Rivière watershed and without the support of this facility, its future is
in doubt.
In addition to its efforts to protect the
whitefish, the hatchery also propagates
and studies the Atlantic salmon, another
endangered species important to this region. At one time most rivers along the
South Shore, including Gold River, East
River and Medway River, had very healthy
salmon populations. Today most of these
rivers are closed to angling as a means to
protect the species and without the Milton
facility this fish also faces a bleak outcome.
For several months, a number of nongovernment organizations and concerned
citizens have tried to convince the federal
government to reverse this decision as it
clearly will have a negative impact on the
future of both of these important fish species, but the Conservatives have pushed
forward, putting balanced budgets ahead
of this serious environmental issue.
For one thing, the Atlantic Salmon Federation (ASF) is urging NS Power and DFO
to continue to work towards a proposal
that would have a non-government organization operate the Mersey Biodiversity Facility. Lewis Hinks, Director of Programs
for Nova Scotia with the ASF, says without
the Mersey facility it will be next to impossible to recover Nova Scotia’s wild Atlantic
salmon in the Inner Bay of Fundy and
southern uplands.
Mr. Hinks recently said they are still
hopeful that DFO will give the group more
time before shutting down a facility in
which the department has invested more
than $1.5 million in upgrades in recent
years. If the facility is closed, a significant
amount of tax payers’ dollars will be spent
to tear down buildings, fill in ponds, and
cement water intake pipes.
Mr. Hinks said there is an active group
willing and able to collaborate with government to continue banking the genes
of endangered fish to aid in recovery efforts that are supposed to take place under
Canada’s Species at Risk Act. As part of
the recent controversial amendments to
Canada’s Fisheries Act, one of the more
positive premises was the intent of DFO to
set up co-operative partnerships with the
volunteer organizations that are hands-on
stewards of wild fish.
Would it not make sense then that the
Mersey Biodiversity Facility could be a
prime example of this type of governmentcitizen collaboration? We think so, but why
can’t the feds see this?

But there is more for which to be grateful. For starters, in comparison to some
places, we have a relatively low crime rate.
Our communities are not crime free, but
I don’t know of any place where crime
doesn’t exist. It may sound like an oxy
moron but crime goes hand in hand with
civilized society, as there will always be
people wanting to take what others have
and people trying to find some way to cope
with their problems, but any assessment
of our community should lead you to
conclude that the crime rate on the South
Shore makes it a great place to live and
raise your family.
And while some of our traditional industries, such as the fishery and forestry,
have been hard hit there are other new opportunities waiting to be discovered. For
example, the region’s moderate temperatures and humid climate make it an ideal
location for certain agricultural ventures
that are slowly being developed. As well, in
recent years, we’ve seen the emergence of
technology-based industries on the South
Shore as investors and business people are
lured here because of the positive qualities
the region offers.
I get it that people are struggling and
that it’s difficult to replace the lucrative
wages and benefits associated with some
of the larger employers that we’ve lost in
recent years, but harping on the negative
is not helping. In fact, it’s doing just the
opposite in that it could be driving potential investors away from our communities
as no one wants to come to a place where
negativity is the running commentary.
No one is saying we should stick our
heads in the sand and hope all the problems will go away, but enough with the
doom and gloom all ready. As the new year
gets underway let us all resolve to do better. Let’s vow to dwell on the positive and
let go of the negative. We’ll all be the better
for it.

R
ecently, there have been several letters to the
editor concerning the federal government’s
potentially ill-advised decision to close the
Mersey Centre for Bio-Diversity in Queens County.
This important facility is scheduled for closure
and demolition even though it is the “only” facility currently propagating the endangered Atlantic
whitefish. This species is found only in a very small
area of the lower Petite Rivière watershed. The
hatchery also propagates and studies the endangered Atlantic salmon.
Several non-government organizations and concerned citizens have tried for several months to get
this decision reversed as it clearly will have a negative impact on the future of both of these species.
At one time, and not so many years ago, most rivers,
including Gold River, East River and Medway River
along the South Shore had very healthy salmon
populations. Today most of these rivers are closed to
angling as a means to protect the species.
Closing the rivers to sport fishing appears to be
DFO’s official way of managing for an endangered
species. Also it is important to acknowledge that in
British Columbia there are currently 26 hatcheries
and none are scheduled for closure.
We, the Friends of Nature, feel that if this facility
is closed, as a final decision will be made in early
January 2014, that the federal government and the
New telephone

DFO, are actually breaking our country’s current
laws that were put in place to protect endangered species, within the Endangered Species Act.
It is the responsibility of the federal government
to protect endangered species period. Surely common
sense should prevail on this issue, but that is something that seems to be in short supply when it comes
to protecting endangered species in this country.

ince the new 2014 telephone book directory
arrived at my house and I tried to find a number, it shook me how small and tiny the writing is. It definitely requires a good magnifying glass
to read anything in it.
What happened to the common sense of its publishers? Can they convince me and other people of
the wisdom of such tiny writing and numbers? It is
a total waste of ink and paper.
I am sure that lots of people share my opinion
and view of the new telephone book. I urge all the
people who are peeved off with this unreadable telephone book to call their perspective telephone company and demand the return of the old telephone
book format.
It is time to stop this foolishness and have some
common sense.

Put the safety of
employees first
O
n January 3 we had a major blizzard and you
heard on the radio and television all the cancellations of government offices, banks and
schools, but some businesses never closed.
Now come on, if they say stay off the roads, it
should be for everyone. I know for one thing, if we
get any major storms I will not be travelling these
highways risking my life and others to go at work.
The way I look at it, some employers are after the
mighty dollar and they don’t give a damn about their
employees’ safety and well being. Maybe they should
reconsider and get back down to real world.

Actions speak
louder than words
O
ver the past while, we have heard an onslaught of tributes to Nelson Mandela from
the media, politicians, world leaders and
ordinary citizens. Much of this has come from Nova
Scotians.
I would hope that we take this time to not only reflect on the many virtues of Mr. Mandela, but also to
practice within our own lives, community and workplace how we will treat co workers, neighbours, and
citizens whether African Canadians, Aboriginals,
other cultures, religions or of the LGBT community.
Our best tribute to Mr. Mandela will be our actions
not our words.

So much for our
new government
I
know I’m wasting my time grumbling about this,
but several months ago we got a $2.02 increase on
our Old Age Security. (We are seniors on a fixed
income).
That was nice, then we find out that Nova Scotia
Power is increasing our budget plan by $15 a month. I
wonder how they found out about our big raise?
So much for our new government already.

Health professionals
recommend flu shot
DINNERTIME!
Celebrity chefs, from left, Michael Power, Jordi Morgan and Donna Malone, lent their culinary skills to a special
dinner that’s auctioned off by the LaHave Manor Corporation during their annual fundraising gala. The successful bidders dined January 4 in Hebbville. Sandra Richards offered her home to host the event. The LaHave Manor
Corporation is a registered charity providing services for the physically and mentally challenged. They also provide housing for seniors, low-income clients and people with disabilities.
COUNTY — It is flu season and Nova Scotians, especially
children younger than five and young and middle-age adults,
are reminded to get a flu shot and take other precautions to
avoid getting sick and spreading the disease.
“So far we are seeing a typical flu season in Nova Scotia and
we can expect to see our number of cases rise in the coming
weeks,” Dr. Frank Atherton, Nova Scotia’s deputy chief medical officer of health said earlier this week in a press release.
“H1N1 is now one of the strains we see every year and it is
included in the vaccination. We know that some other Canadian provinces are seeing serious illness among unvaccinated
people and this underlines the importance of getting a flu
shot.”
The flu shot is free for Nova Scotians and is available from
family doctors, family practice nurses, nurse practitioners,
most pharmacists, and clinics offered by Public Health Services and some workplaces, according to information from the
Department of Health.
The vaccine is recommended for all Nova Scotians, but is
especially important for people at high risk of complications
including seniors, children age six months to five years, Aboriginal people, pregnant women and anyone with chronic
medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma and diabetes, he said.
This also includes those who live with, or care for, people in
high-risk groups.
“Early indications from other provinces suggest that some
serious infections are occurring in young and middle-age
adults and children under five during this flu season,” said
Dr. Atherton.
Proper hygiene, such as handwashing and people covering
their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, is also important to prevent spreading the flu. People with flu symptoms
should stay home and minimize close contact with others. People with questions can call 811 and speak to a registered nurse.
Flu symptoms often include sudden high fever, headache,
general aches and pains, fatigue and weakness, a runny, stuffy
nose, sneezing and sore throat, but can lead to more severe illness such as pneumonia or even death.

COUNTY — The South Shore Regional School Board is planting seeds
for the expanded delivery of various
community services in schools, and its
superintendent says in order to bloom,
those seeds need a formal plan.
“The whole notion of co-location
and co-delivery of services, for me, is
where we need to be focusing, and we
can’t do that unless we have some sort
of long-range facility plan to begin
with,” said Superintendent Geoff
Cainen during a recent meeting.
“I want to be really clear — I think
that in doing these steps it should stop
that initial flow, which is, ‘We’ve got
extra space, let’s close a building,” because that’s what the community gets
up in arm with immediately because
they don’t feel we — and when I say,
‘we,’ I mean staff — have done their
due diligence in saying what are the
option available in communities before we go down that road. That’s the
piece I think we need to look at.”
Board members and staff suggested
new or expanded services in schools
could include things such as afterschool care, health clinics and municipal recreation departments.
New director of operations Brian
Smith added, “right sizing” existing
facilities through a master plan would
help the board’s bottom line.
“In doing this, there would be significant savings in heating, cleaning,
maintaining these buildings that in a
number of cases would be much larger
than we need to educate our students.”
He said “right sizing” could mean
not only offering more services aside
from education, but also the permanent closure of some buildings, alteration of existing spaces or various
other options.
Mr. Smith said a 2013 proposal to
build a modestly-sized, communitybased facility to replace schools in
Pentz and Petitie Riviere is a good example of the direction the board could
proceed in.
However, that proposal was recently
not included in the province’s 2014-15
capital plan, and the board has not yet
discussed publicly the plan’s direction
going forward.
Meanwhile, the government is planning an overhaul of the review process
which often leads to permanent school
closures.
A public meeting regarding that
issue is scheduled for January 13 at
Park View Education Centre.

Bridgewater’s
Old Bridge
stands the test
of time
By ROBERT HIRTLE

Car and pedestrian traffic on Bridgewater’s old bridge remains steady despite
the opening of a second such structure
further up river in 1981.

S
the turn of the 20th century.
In fact the period from 1890 to 1899 is
described as “A Decade of Growth and
Change” by Patrick Hirtle in his book,
“Going Against the Grain: The Rise of
Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, 1818-1899,” and
the bridge was a major factor in that renaissance.
“By the early 1890s, the strength of
this once small, inland trading post was
beginning to manifest itself in the development of several key elements of local
infrastructure and civic enhancements,”
Mr. Hirtle wrote. “One such improvement
specifically facilitated growth of the riverfront businesses that had formed the
basis of the community’s thriving service
sector.”
It was on May 10, 1889, that the Municipality of Lunenburg, which then locally
governed what had not yet become the
Town of Bridgewater, “began to investigate the possibility of replacing the tired
wooden bridge that crossed the LaHave
River at Bridgewater.”
The structure was
described by council
as being “in a rotten
state” and “dangerous to the travelling
public,” so they approached the province’s
Department
of Public Works and
Mines for financial
support for such a
project.
Two years later
the Dominion Bridge
Company completed
the construction of a
bridge that connected

Cost of the project, which was “situatria Road, was opened in 1983, the fourth
bridge seems to be the one structure that ed upon a granite masonry,” was $23,000.
“The New Bridge” as it was then called,
best identifies with the town.
Despite having unexpected repairs on “was a significant civic enhancement, not
its eastern portion which was taken out only for businessmen, but for townsfolk
by heavy ice in February 1971, the bridge and travellers, as well,” Mr. Hirtle wrote.
“Providing a focal point for the excontinues in use today, over 120 years
after its completion, and still plays a vital change of goods between the merchants
on the river’s west side and the railway
role in the town’s economy.
Now known affectionately as “the Old hub located on the east, it allowed direct,
Bridge,” the span’s construction became reliable access for visitors to Bridgewater,
one of the town’s key economic cogs at either by carriage or by foot, who wished
mall towns in Nova Scotia always
seem to have an identifying focal
point that draws people to them
and makes them want to live there.
Lunenburg, for example, is famous for
its historic waterfront while the beauty of
Mahone Bay is centrepieced by the serenity of its trio of harbour-side churches.
Of the three Lunenburg County towns,
however, Bridgewater holds the distinction of having the most obvious features
of them all — its bridges and the waters
of the LaHave River from which the town
got its name.
In all a total of five different links have
spanned the LaHave within the parameters of the town, the first having been
built around 1825, a second in 1845 and a
third in 1869.
All of these were of wooden construction, a practice that would cease with the
fourth instalment that was constructed
of iron in 1891 and was trumpeted to last
100 years.
While a fifth concrete and steel bridge,
COURTESY DESBRISAY MUSEUM COLLECTION [M228]
This wooden bridge, which was built in 1869, was the predecessor of what is today known
as Bridgewater’s “Old Bridge.” Representatives from the Nova Scotia Central Railway,
R.M.J. McGill, left, and a Mr. Tross, are surveying the area around the structure in preparation to build its replacement. The building on the right at the end of the bridge, Wyman’s
Stables, had to be shortened to make way for the new structure. Starratt’s Hotel is pictured on the left.
to disembark from the train and tour
the local shops,” he recalled. “The New
Bridge served other practical purposes
for the local citizenry, as well, ensuring a
degree of safety, as contemporary emergency vehicles, such as primitive fire
engines, could easily be moved from the
train tracks across the bridge to aid in the
event of a fire.”
Mr. Hirtle said that along with providing that oh-so-important “fixed-link” between both banks of the river, the bridge
also encouraged development and maintenance of the streets at each of its ends,
“particularly along Commercial Street,
where new raised wooden sidewalks were
installed to help pedestrians avoid the
seasonal dustbin and mud puddle that
[street] often became in the days when it
was still dirt.”
By the late 1940s and early 1950s, “Commercial Street” had become King Street
and the wooden sidewalks had been removed and replaced by concrete.
The bridge, however, had not changed
significantly and remained a central part
of Bridgewater’s identity.
In his 1950 book “This is Nova Scotia
— Along Canada’s Ocean Playground,”
noted author Will R. Bird made reference
to the structure’s significance following a
visit to the town.
“The bridge is the real core of Bridgewater,” Mr. Bird wrote. “Young couples
moon along it every evening. There is
parking space along the river bank and
there are cars lined up and people sit in
them to watch traffic over the bridge.”
He went on to say that practically
every store in town had a view of the
bridge, “and all who live in the first half
of the town can see it.”
Times have certainly changed since
Bridgewater’s “Old Bridge” was built 122
years ago. Back then electricity was in
its infancy, there were no radios or televisions, no telephones, no airplanes, no
automobiles and certainly no computer
technology as there is today.
In those days the bridge was the only
quick and reliable way of transferring
goods and people from one side of the
river to the other.
And that remains true to this day.
It was, and is, the heart of the Town of
Bridgewater.

going to the museum.

Boscawen Chapter IODE holds
last meeting for 2013
During the fall, IODE Boscawen Chapter met monthly in members’ homes and
wrapped up the year with a luncheon at
the Dockside restaurant.
Boscawen Chapter celebrated its 99th
anniversary in October with a tea attended by members of the Liverpool Gorham
Chapter and by the provincial president,
Jackie Guyette, who offered congratulations and gave a brief talk of the history
and the accomplishments of IODE since
its founding in Nova Scotia in 1910.
On Remembrance Day Boscawen Chapter laid a cross during the ceremonies at
the cenotaph in Lunenburg.
The Town of Lunenburg is preparing
a “welcome package” for newcomers and
IODE will submit a handout to acquaint
newcomers with the group and to welcome them to join.
Services officer Barbara Hine reported
on the parcels which IODE Nova Scotia
prepares and sends to the north. Boscawen Chapter contributes many knitted
items towards this endeavour.
Provincially, funds were collected for
Dr. Crocker, Pediatric Nephrologist, at
the IWK for his research program and
Boscawen Chapter made a contribution.
Through the Christmas Daddies program Boscawen Chapter adopted a family with a mother and two children for
Christmas. Presents have been assembled
and a meal will also be provided.
National IODE has a web site. If you
are considering joining or wish to learn
more, visit http://www.IODE.ca or contact membership officer Judy Rockwell.
The next meeting will be on January 6,
at the home of Judy Rockwell with Susan
MacMillan acting as co-host.

BUSINESS
Life goal leads businessman to the South Shore
By PAULA LEVY
[email protected]
The love of the South Shore created a goal for Ian Kimball to
one day be able to live and work here.
He moved to Lunenburg County in 1997 but that was only part
of his objective. He also wanted to be able to earn a living and
not have to travel to Halifax to work. That goal was completely
fulfilled nearly six years ago when Mr. Kimball purchased the
long standing Bridgewater-based business Cumings Fire &
Safety Equipment.
The business was started by Bob and Jane Cumings in 1979.
They owned and operated the company until 2003 when it was
sold to Halifax operators. After two years, Mr. Kimball came
along and decided this was the business for him.
A teacher by trade, Mr. Kimball’s career had taken a turn
when he took his first sales position. After moving to Crescent
Beach he worked in sales for a couple of different companies.
During this time he discovered that he would someday like to
own his own business.
“I wanted to have my own business and work for myself,” he
said. “The opportunity came along to buy this business. I looked
into it and thought it would be interesting and it was stuff that
I was interested in so I made the move. I like the idea of having
a small business in a small town. That was something that appealed to me. I thought it was like a challenge as well to see if
I could succeed being in charge of the operation as opposed to
working at it.”
Fire and safety equipment is a competitive business, said Mr.
Kimball. Although there are no other fire and safety equipment
stores in this area, the marketplace spans beyond Lunenburg
County.
Other stores are located in Halifax, the Annapolis Valley and
New Brunswick. In addition to the employees in Nova Scotia,

A goal to live and work in Lunenburg County led Ian Kimball to purchase Cumings Fire & Safety Equipment in
Bridgewater nearly six years ago.
Cumings also has two salespeople based in New
Brunswick. The store worked entirely out of the
Bridgewater location until two years ago when Mr.
Kimball bought Atlantic Bunker Gear in Dartmouth.
“It’s a crowded market for sure. But we provide
local service to people here on the South Shore and
we do quite well with the South Shore fire departments,” he added.
In addition to fire departments,
their customers also include local
businesses seeking safety equipment such as fire hydrants sales,
servicing and inspections. Residents also use the store for work
clothing and footwear, safety gear,
first aid supplies as well as recreational safety gear and apparel
for boating, fishing, landscaping,
gardening, chainsaw operations,
ATV use and hunting.
Mr. Kimball said the biggest challenge to succeeding in the fire and safety business is the competition
from on-line shopping. But focusing on exceptional
customer service keeps his customers coming back.
“The challenge for us is making people understand that we offer really good service and that sometimes there’s a cost for that. When someone calls and
says they can find something $5 cheaper on-line …
hopefully they understand that if they come to our
store and deal with our company, they’re going to get
great service and great support after the products
are sold,” he said.
Mr. Kimball said although many customers are
using alternative methods for purchasing products,
their sales people continue to use face-to-face communications to ensure Cumings maintains its market share.
“You can’t beat going out and seeing people. At the
end of the day, this business runs on those relationships. The more people you get out to see, the more
successful you become without a
doubt,” said Mr. Kimball, noting
it is the employees that have kept
the business growing. Since he
bought the business, the company
went from four full time and one
part time to nine full time and
four part time employees.
“The key to this place really
is the great employees that we
have,” said Mr. Kimball. “I think
that’s true of probably any business that’s successful. It really comes down to the people that work
there and the level of care and concern and effort
that they put into work every day. That’s what brings
our customers back.”
Since customers return and continue to support
Cumings Fire and Safety Equipment, Mr. Kimball
said he is able to live where he and his family are
most happy — the South Shore.
“It was always my goal to be able to live on the
South Shore and work here and not have to travel to
Halifax,” he added. “For me it’s fantastic to be able
to do that.”

It is only possible to change your future if you can
start by reimagining it. A new documentary called
“I’m Gone” and filmed locally is the tale of a woman
who does just that.
To date, statistically, there is a zero per cent recovery rate for heroin addicts to achieve a year or
more of consecutive clean time. However, in August
2013, a team of filmmakers spent two weeks on
Nova Scotia’s South Shore at Bell Island shooting a
film and recording an album while focusing on that
woman.
The documentary is about Amy, whose life experience has spanned motherhood to drug addiction. As
part of her recovery, she discovered the transformative effects of music and feels that the creative
process has a role in living without drugs. She is a
member of the band No Family, who are currently
producing their third album.
“I’m Gone” is a story of struggle and survival.
Amy is the main character and a heroin addict in
recovery. She would not be who she is today if it were
not for her addiction, her struggle, her strength, her
family, her friends and her music.
The film is focused on the living, not the dying.
This is what makes this film distinctive from other
addiction films — it is not the usual portrait of tragedy commonly featured in drug related films or a
representation of a “junkie” stereotype.
This film talks about the individuality of a unique
woman, who started dealing with heroin addiction
late in life, as a mother with a family in her 30s.
Rather then focusing on the downward spiral that
all addicts can potentially succumb to, “I’m Gone”
centers on an addict’s journey in recovery as she
figures out how to sustain a full life with the support
of family, friends and music.
Amy retaught herself how to play guitar while
in early recovery, a creative process which allowed
www.folkharbour.com
her to find both a voice as well as an impetus to
stay clean. She managed to maintain this passion
through ups and downs, and establish her band, No
Family.
The band is the reason why filmmakers traveled
1,400 km from a neighbourhood in Montreal to Bell
Island. There, during 10 days, Amy and her band
set up to record their new album, “Keep my Devil
Down.”
Interviewing the people close to her allowed filmmakers to become a part of Amy’s community and
to gain insight into who she really is. Though not
always pretty, the interviews are honest and compelling, thus showcasing Amy at her best and worst, but
mainly allowing for a unique look at the integration
of recovery in real life.
Geneviève Philippon is a director and film editor
who has worked on numerous projects in Montreal
and abroad. Her current projects include a film on a
transboy’s process to get a sex reassignment, as well
as the development of a web series focusing on the
forgotten craftspeople in the textile industry.
The idea of merging art and documentary film
while maintaining honesty and integrity in terms of
subject matter are key aspects to her approach.
Julie Bourbonnais is a freelance artistic director
with diverse experience in theatre, photography and
cinema. Her focus has shifted in the last five years
to documentary film-making, where she explores
the boundaries between film, art, architecture and
drawing. She brings an authenticity and an open
mindedness to her projects.
They are currently trying to raise funds for postproduction work on the film through a Kickstarter
campaign at http://kck.st/1cc5bDx.

junior curling crown
Mary Fay off to national championships
By STACEY COLWELL
[email protected]
Mary Fay’s Nova Scotia junior curling championship was one for the ages.
Despite her youth, the 15-year-old
Park View Education Centre student,
whose oldest teammate was 16, skipped
her Chester rink to the under-21 title in
convincing fashion last week.
“The girls are the youngest team to
win the title in the last 20 years,” marvelled coach Andrew Atherton.
The foursome — which included Jennifer Smith, Karlee Burgess and Janique
LeBlanc — defeated former champs
Emily Dwyer and Mary MyketynDriscoll in just seven ends during the
semifinal and championship game on
December 31 in Lower Sackville.
“I won’t say I was surprised, but I
was very impressed by how calm and
focused the girls were before and during
the final,” said Mr. Atherton.
“They never wavered in their approach — whether it was as we built an
early lead, or saw that lead disappear
in one end, or then started to slowly
put the game out of reach — they had a
purpose and they were focused on making their shots.”
He said the key was perhaps the very
first end of the semifinal, when Mary
was able to draw to the button and score
a pair.
“That turned what could have a been
a terrible start into a perfect start and
gave us the momentum we needed to
roll to the title.”
Although the Fay rink was young,
they were hardly inexperienced, having
won the 2013 under-18 Atlantic championships, along with one of six berths
to represent Nova Scotia at the 2015
Canada Games, and seven of their past
eight bonspiels overall.
“We have always tried to challenge
ourselves by playing more experienced
teams, so the week of provincials really
wasn’t any different for us,” said Mary
in an e-mail following the junior finals.
“The older teams tend to have more
experience, and on the final day, we had
to beat two teams who had the experience of nationals under their belts. We
knew that we would have to rise to the
challenge and play our best. We have a
ton of respect for both of the teams. All
of them are great athletes and tough to
compete against.”
The next challenge will be representing Nova Scotia at the national championships beginning January 18 in Liverpool, but she’s not worried about that.
“I think the key to having success at
nationals will be to have fun and enjoy
every moment,” said the three-time
Nova Scotia under-15 champ.
“We will be focused on curling at our
best, but we will be taking it all in and
learning as much as we can. We always
curl better when we are having fun.”
“We’d be looking at an
influx of people who are
not just coming for a onenight event, but who would
be here all week in need of
places to stay, places to eat
and things to do, so we really
see that as a chance for local
businesses to capture some
more people who otherwise
wouldn’t be in the area.”

New Germany goalie playing

[email protected]
Ben Meisner was sorry to end the
first chapter of his pro hockey career,
but excited to start the next one after
being traded from the East Coast Hockey League’s Utah Grizzlies to the Fort
Wayne Komets.
“Things in Utah were awesome — I
enjoyed it there, and it was a great organization — I was sad to leave, and wish
them all the best in the future,” said the
New Germany native after the December 26 deal.
“However, I am coming to a good
young team, with an opportunity to play
a lot of minutes.”
Komets general manager David Franke told the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette
he had not been pleased with the club’s
netminding prior to the deal.
“We’re going to see if this Meisner
can come in and help us out in goal.
Overall, we’re not that thrilled with our
goaltending. We think we need to get
better there.”
The 23 year old began the season
in training camp with Chicago of the
American Hockey League and served
one game as a backup with Norfolk.
Meanwhile, in Utah he went 2-8 with a
2.65 goals against average, a .900 save
percentage and one shutout.
In his first game with Fort Wayne,
he made 22 saves in a 3-2 home loss to
Gwinnett.
“The fans are outstanding, but have
high expectations of us here in Fort
Wayne, as they should, because this city
expects a championship team year in
and out,” said Mr. Meisner in a recent
e-mail.
“I cant think of a better hockey town
in the ECHL and I am honoured to join
the Komets. I hope to help contribute in
any way I can to make the 13-14 season
a great one with hopes bringing the
ECHL’s Kelly Cup to Fort Wayne for the
first time.”
High-profile NHL goalies such as
Jonathan Quick, Tim Thomas, Braden
Holtby and Tomas Vokoun got their pro
careers started in the same league.
Last year, Mr. Meisner wrapped up
a stellar NCAA Division 1 career by
registering a league-leading .923 save
percentage for American International
College and being named an Atlantic
conference all-star.
He made a conference record 1,109
saves in 2012-13, while his 3,864 career
saves are 12th highest in NCAA history.
In one of his most memorable games, he
beat Penn State 3-2 in overtime by making 61 saves.
Off the ice, Mr. Meisner was an academic all-conference player, graduated
with a bachelor of science degree and
plans to attend law school in the future.
Immediately after the season, though,
he hopped on a plane and crossed the
country from Springfield, Massachusetts, to California and joined the Grizzlies on a tryout agreement.
“For all I knew, if I went out that first
game in Bakersfield and was mediocre, I
could have been one and done,” said Mr.
Meisner in an interview last summer.
“I was worried I’d be right back on
my way home.”
Instead, he shone, making 35 saves
in a 2-1 shootout loss which clinched a
playoff spot for the team.
“Those first 10 minutes, my legs
were a little shaky, that’s for sure,” he
laughed.
“I was pretty nervous.”
The 23 year old went on to post a 2.63
goals-against average and a .919 save
percentage while losing only one of his
eight regular-season games in regulation for Utah in 2012-13.
Mustangs drop pair
of home games
After getting shut out in three consecutive games to end 2013, the Charlie’s
Pizza South Shore Mustangs got back
on the scoresheet last weekend, but still
lost a pair of home games in Bridgewater.
On Saturday night, the Mustangs
dropped a 3-2 decision to Newbridge
Academy despite first-period goals by
Christian Tufts and Keith Getson. Nick
Dawes made 23 saves in nets for the
South Shore.
The following afternoon, the Halifax
McDonalds beat the Mustangs 4-2. Keith
Getson scored for a second straight
game and Jered Scott also found the
back of the net, while Colby Muise
stopped 30 of 33 shots in nets.
The club will take a 10-19 record into
a tournament in Bedford this week.

South Shore U-16 girls win
first game of indoor season
By STACEY COLWELL
[email protected]
The South Shore United under-16 girls
soccer team got their first win of the
indoor season last weekend at the HB Studios Sports Centre in Bridgewater.
Coach Jackie Aiken said she was delighted with the 2-0 victory over Halifax
Dunbrack.
“We got in ahead of last Friday’s storm
and had a practice post-Christmas and
the New Year, and it paid off,” said Ms
Aiken in a press release from the club.
Emily Cheverie and Sydney Buell
scored for the hosts, while Kaylistah
Dorey and Sam Sarty shared the shutout
in nets.
The girls improved their overall record
to 1-6-1 with the win.
Meanwhile, Bradley Lepine scored his
first goal of the season and coach Bob
Sayer said goalie Adam Harvey was outstanding under heavy pressure from Dunbrack in the under-16 boys’ 12-1 loss.
“We’ll continue to work hard,” said Mr.
Sayer, whose team’s record dropped to 0-8
following the game.
“Cameron Zinn, cool and consistent in
defence, was the outstanding player for
South Shore. He got steady support from
Jake Bode and Ryan Hebb.”
This weekend in Bridgewater, the
under-14 A and B girls teams are scheduled to play Dunbrack on Saturday morning.
A trio of BMO Western Hurricanes
players were selected to represent their
club at the Nova Scotia Major Bantam
Hockey League showcase all-star game
over the holidays in Truro.
Leading scorer Matt Barron from
Yarmouth, Lunenburg defenceman Walter Flower and Chester forward Jacob
Myra were all picked for the December 28 game, while top goal scorer Ian
MacPhee and Bridgewater blue-liner
Matthew Sabean were named alternates.
Walter and Jacob also helped Nova
Scotia’s under-15 team to a gold medal at
the prestigious Atlantic Challenge Cup
earlier this season in Moncton.
“They wear and represent their jersey with pride,” said Hurricanes coach
Brad Muise after that accomplishment.
“Both come to us with ideas of team
builders, etc., so that they can bring the
team closer as a unit. They are always
thinking team first and putting their
teammates [and] friends first.”
On the ice, Mr. Muise said Jacob is a
quick, tenacious forward and one of the
hardest workers in the province for his
age group.
“He is hard to contain down low and
on the cycle. He produces a lot offensively with his quick hands, but is also
relied upon to play penalty kill and is
great in his own end.”
Jacob had 10 goals and 21 points
through 23 league games this season.
The coach described Walter as a mobile, two-way defenceman who moves
the puck to the correct outlet with authority, is extremely smart with really
quick feet and a very heavy shot.
He led the team’s blueliners in scoring with 15 points going into last weekend.
Meanwhile, fellow all-star Matt Barron ranked among the top-10 scorers in
the league with 34 points, Ian MacPhee
was top-five with 18 goals in just 21
games, and defenceman Matthew Sabean had a half dozen points in 20
games.

WHYNOTTS SETTLEMENT — The addition of a new $505,000 fire truck to the
Oakhill volunteer fire department fleet
replaces a pair of vehicles they sold to
another brigade.
Last month, Oakhill welcomed a 2014
Spartan pumper-tanker built my New
Brunswick-based builder, Metalfab. The
six-seater beast (the words “The Beast”
are decaled above the truck’s front grill)
carries 2,500 imperial gallons of water
(contents equivalent of over 5,600 twolitre cartons of milk), in addition to hand
tools and a host of other firefighting
equipment.
“It pumps a lot of water. It carries a
lot of water,” said Corey Zinck, Oakhill’s
deputy fire chief.
The new acquisition also meets the latest in fire services safety standards and,
Deputy Chief Zinck noted, it could reflect
positively in district property owner’s
fire risk ratings as water pumping capacity factors in fire insurance calculations.
“This is really your multi-purpose suppression vehicle. It’s got all the water;
it’s got all the pumping capacity you’re
going to require for any structure fire,”
he explained. “It’s an asset to [neighbouring fire departments] because they know
… they can use it as a pumper or tanker
depending on how the situation goes.”
The truck offers flexibility. “It’s a twofor one-kind of deal,” he said.
The Midville district volunteer fire
department purchased two of Oakhill’s
International brands, a 1998 tanker that
holds 13,600 litres (3,000 gallons) of water
and seats two personnel and a two-seater
2005 pumper.
“The trucks that we sold still had some
value,” Oakhill fire chief John Robart
said. “Replacing one [truck] instead of
two over the next 10 years is significantly
cheaper and the trend in the fire service
these days is larger, multi-use trucks that
can serve more purposes and we’re basically moving in that direction.”
He estimated his department should
save $5,000 a year in operating costs by
having one less truck to service.
Deputy Chief Zinck said the new vehicle with a full complement of personnel
aboard can accomplish much more. “Operationally, it was a much better strategy
to go that route in terms of usefulness of
the resource when it arrives on scene,”
he said.
The rest of Oakhill’s truck fleet includes a 2000 Ford F550 that disseminates
fire-suppressing compressed air foam, a
2008 passenger van to transport personnel and a 2012 pumper-rescue.

GeorgeNormanButler
Age 65, of Pinehurst, passed away at
the Halifax Infirmary on December 23,
2013. Born in Shelburne, George was
known as the guy who always had a
joke to tell. After a 30-year career
from NS Power, he moved to
Pinehurst, Lunenburg Co. For the past
10 years, he was a volunteer driver
with Community Services.
George is survived by Sharon, his
wife of 29 years; four daughters,
Catherine Butler (Keith Noseworthy),
Vancouver; Sandra Butler, Halifax;
Jody (Silvio) Labriola, Vancouver;
Michelle (Mark) Lucas, Halifax; sister,
Dianne (Wayne) Huskins; and brothers, David (Diane), Gary and Dale
Butler. He was predeceased by parents, Norman and Doris Butler; and sister, Janie.
George adored his grandchildren, Liam Labriola, Jenna and Andrew Lucas and
Grayson Noseworthy. For Christmas, he made each child a recording, having
recently learned to play guitar. George was an avid dart player, competing in most
legions across Nova Scotia. George and Sharon camped at Lake Pleasant Campers
Club for over 25 years, where he enjoyed sitting around the campfire with a drink
and telling stories (usually embellished). He was active in CFS Shelburne activities
in the 80s and 90s, including winter carnivals, darts and softball.
As per his wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will be held
at a future date. As a regular recipient of these services, please consider donating
to the VON or donating blood to the Canadian Blood Services in George’s memory.

It is with great sadness that the family of Freeman Daniel Rhuland, 95, of
Lunenburg, announces his passing on Thursday, December 12, 2013, at the
Veteran’s Unit of the Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital, Lunenburg.

Highlanders in the Royal Canadian Army, serving in Bermuda. Freeman started
his working career at an early age with his father and then went to work with
Lawrence Allen at the Dory Shop in Lunenburg for 37 years. A faithful member
of Zion Lutheran Church, he was a church usher for many years and sang in the
Zion Male Choir. He was a quiet man who loved his family, nature and enjoyed
feeding his birds in his backyard and spending time with family and many
friends.
Freeman is survived by sisters, Mildred Manthorne, Lunenburg; Frances Feindel,
New Germany and Shirley Mallalieu, St. Mary’s, ON; and many nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Hazel in 2009; brother, Garnet; and
sisters, Margaret and Daisy.
Under the direction of the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, Lunenburg, a service
to celebrate Freeman’s life was held on Tuesday, December 17, 2013, at Zion
Lutheran Church, Lunenburg, with Rev. Willis Ott officiating. Memorials were
read from his sister Shirley and her three children Cathy, Andy and Gary.
Interment was held in Hillcrest Cemetery, Lunenburg.
Card of Thanks

Veteran’s Unit, to Mike Zinck and his staff at Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home,

Russell Risser, who lovingly hand-crafted Freeman’s urn and also thanks to all
the people who made memorial donations to honour Freeman, sent cards,
phone calls and to the Fellowship Committee of Zion’s for preparing such an
excellent lunch - God bless you all!

Bridgewater Historical Society closes shop
BRIDGEWATER — After more than two decades
of promoting heritage in the South Shore’s fastest
developing community, the third generation of
volunteer historical society in Bridgewater has
dissolved as of December 31, 2013.
As pressure to retain dedicated volunteer energy increases, the group leaves its mission of a
champion for, and celebrating the town’s heritage
to the local museum, its volunteers and the town’s
Heritage Advisory Committee.
According to a draft history compiled by society
secretary Linda Bedford, “The first known record
of a Bridgewater Historical Society in the town
appeared in the Bridgewater Bulletin newspaper
in April 1948.”
That group’s records having been lost, little
activity is recognized in the community until the
fall of 1980, when the town government was only
just venturing into heritage property legislation
promoted by the province.
Under the leadership of Florrie Little, heritage
balls and teas set the tone for an active group. After
only six years, the group was plagued with dwindling membership, and decided not to maintain its
registration as a volunteer society.
In 1994, a small group of heritage enthusiasts
reactivated the society as a launch pad to champion the town’s heritage bylaw, when a restaurant
development threatened to encroach on the views
along the LaHave River — long established as an
integral heritage asset for the town.
This group turned its attention to promoting the
town’s heritage property protection by encouraging new property owners to erect signage to recognize former citizens, such as Dawson B. Dauphinee
Federal building and the Dawson Centre.
Later on, local organizations and businesses
with longevity of service to the citizens of Bridgewater were identified and honoured through newspaper-published historical articles and plaques.
The Bridgewater Fire Department Band (143
years), Bridgewater Post Office (167 years) and
a century of banking services by the Bank of
Montreal, among others, were highlighted by this
plaque program.
Only history will determine whether or not another generation of heritage enthusiasts will see
fit to relight the torch and help champion the cause
for heritage in Bridgewater.
BRRR!
It’s not difficult to tell what time of year it is, judging by the
frigid temperatures showing up on this display off High Street in
Bridgewater, as the lastest cold snap whipped through Lunenburg
County.

NEW ROSS — South Canoe wind project has set up an office in New Ross at Cottage on the Cross next to the Credit
Union on the Forties Road. The company opened the local
site at the beginning of the year.
Community relations manager Mary-Frances Lynch and
the project manager will primarily staff the office. But as the
project inches closer to the construction phase, other team
members and the construction manager will also be housed
in the office.
“From a community relations standpoint, our team wanted to be closer to the community as work on site picks up
over the coming weeks and months. The office is a way for us
to have more of a presence in the community and to give the
opportunity for local residents to stop in and visit us and ask
questions directly instead of over the phone or email,” said
Ms Lynch. “We are looking forward to working closely with
the community as we start construction.”
She said clearing of the site will begin later this month
and road construction is expected to begin in the spring.
The project by Nova Scotia Power Incorporated, Minas
Basin Pulp and Power Limited and Oxford Frozen Foods Limited, will construct a $200 million wind farm that includes 34
turbines near South Canoe Lake on a 3,044-hectare property
in an area between Highway 14 and New Russell Road.
