Games, Entertainment And Grand Openings
For those of you who are not
sure “where the action is”, then
this week’s edition will be a big
help to you.
You may be wondering what
to do with this wonderful

with the last few weeks.
There’s no better time to take
in some events such as the
Canada 55+ Games which get
underway in various Cape
Breton communities and venues starting August 29th.
You can check Page 10 to
get a complete list of venues.
Take a lunch and get out to see
the many sports and recreational events.
On Page 8 and 9 we have
shown you a sampling of one
day of Cape Breton entertainment listings and I’m sure you’ll
be amazed at the variety of
events, concerts and entertainment that are available.
Check the many advertisers
in this edition to see the live
entertainment they are providing each weekend.
Read about the two Grand
Openings (Page 7) for Nora’s

There’s lots to see and do!

New Downtown North Sydney Business
The Storytellers
This week’s story is a tall tale and it comes from “Tall Tales
& Udder Lies” from author Glen Gray. This story is, like many
Cape Breton yarns, loosely based on real life experiences. This
little story tells the tale of “The Blueberry Wars.”
I can remember vividly each Summer during the blueberry
picking season what we came to refer to as “The Blueberry
Wars.”
Blueberries were a very popular commodity and the mothers
used to make blueberry pie, blueberry cake, blueberry grunt,
blueberry jam, blueberry muffins and just about anything else
blueberries could be crammed into.
The boys would pick blueberries and when we tried to sell
them in our neighbourhood, the mothers would argue like they
were in a Turkish bazaar and we usually ended up with very
little for our pickings.
But that was just amateur stuff. The real pros were two rivals
who originally came to Cape Breton via Holland. They lived

the old library used to be on Commecial Street and you Summer.
will find a new business that has opened its doors to
cater to the active outdoors clientele. It’s called Escape
Outdoors and that is exactly what you’ll find inside.
I spoke with co-owner Paul Finney and he said that there
was an unmet need in the outdoor specialty clothing line
and associated sports gear and accessories and that was
the reason for opening the new store.
Until now, shoppers had to order online or travel to
Halifax to purchase this outdoor line of clothing and sportswear. The store has been opened about a month now
and Paul said that the local shoppers have been responding quite favorably to the selection that he has on hand.
In the above photo you can see co-owner Paul Finney
restocking the inventory in Escape Outdoors. The store is
open for your shopping convenience from Tuesday to
Thursday from 11 AM - 7 PM - Friday and Saturday from
11 AM until 6 PM.
In addition to the extensive clothing and sportswear
inventory, Paul mentioned that beginning in the Fall, there
is a studio connected to the store and there will be Yoga
classes and community groups will be able to use the
studio for their meetings and various outdoor related
activities.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but the
above photo shows only a small portion of the entire store,
so stop by at 299 Commercial Street in North Sydney or
you can phone them at 241-4453, visit the website
www.escapeoutdoors.ca, or check out their Facebook
Page.
Now there is no need to travel away from Cape Breton
to purchase your casual lifestyle and sportswear apparel.
The two would come to the neighbourhood and set up a little
produce wagon and paint a sign with the prices listed. Just like
clockwork, a rival seller would show up and take one look at
the sign prices and paint a lower price on his sign.
This would prompt an immediate response and the original
seller would then reduce his price. This went on for about a half
hour and the whole neighbourhood would show up for the
spectacle.
Eventually one of the sellers would leave in disgust and the
winner would sell out his produce at the “sale price.” The mothers all thought they were getting a great bargain. What we did
not know until they retired was that the two sellers were the
Van Deusen brothers and their little bit of theatre was all a stage
performance and a great sales technique.
We eventually found out that at different parts and times in
our town, the brothers would act as “winner” and “loser” and
would always go home with their carts empty. When interviewed
for a local news story, the brothers claimed that it was a great
way to put on a little entertainment and make everybody feel
good.
They would say in their stilted English “Iz gud for bizniss.”
They were excellent produce sellers but also very astute
salesmen.

By Paul Power
SAGA - “20/
20” (Eagle Rock) - If you
had to look up the phrase
“Canadian Progressive
Rock” somewhere, an accurate definition would list 2
bands as examples, Rush
and Saga. Originally formed
in Ontario in 1977, Saga released 2 albums in the late
70’s before they hit their big
break in 1980 with the release of the “Silent Knight” album. For the next
5 years the band
produced some of
the most innovative, refreshing
and intelligent
rock music on the
radio; songs such
as “Wind Him Up”,
“What Do I Know”,
“Don’t Be Late”,
“The Flyer” and
“Only Time Will Tell” highlighted a band that was on
fire, due in no small part to
the amazing vocal skills of
Michael Sadler, the keyboard
and vocal wizardry of Jim
Gilmour and the fret work of
Ian and Jim Crichton. Must
not forget the drumming contribution of original member
Steve Negus either. Together
they delivered music that
was innovative, clever and
stylish. The band never really had a huge following in
the United States, but they
were, and still are, very popular in Europe and of course
have a dedicated fan base
here in Canada.
There were some changes in
the band’s line up over the
last two decades; most notably the departure of drummer Steve Negus, with Brian
Doerner (ex of Helix) filling
his spot, and Michael Sadler
left in 2007 for family reasons, only to return in 2011.
It’s been 5 years and 1 album
since then, so it’s great to
hear that Michael’s pipes are
back for this album.
The CD’s name is a clever
two-play on words; it is the
band’s twentieth album and
it also refers the eye surgery
Jim Gilmour had recently, giving him….you guessed it. I
must admit that the album
starts off a bit dodgy with the
song “Six Feet Under”, because it sounds like another
Canadian band-The Box, but
within 30 seconds the Saga
we’ve come to love is welcomed back like an old friend,
with that signature grandiose
sound. At times throughout
this album I
think you’ll
hear some
similarities to
Styx and Yes
as well.
The
Saga
‘musical
cookie-cutter’
was used to
make “Anywhere You
Wanna Go”, “Ellery”, “One Of
These Days” and “Show And
Tell”, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. These songs
are all good tracks.
If I had to pick out the best
tracks on this CD, I’d choose
the following; “Spin It Again”
is definitely the heaviest song
here and most like Saga’s
back catalogue of great
songs. “Till The Well Runs
Dry” bubbles under a bit before boiling over to a full on
rocker, but the ballad “Lost
For Words” takes the cake as
the best track on the album,
thanks again to Michael
Sadler’s smooth vocal delivery.
I give Saga a lot of credit for
not just hanging in there for
so long, but for still being relevant and for putting out album after album of great
music. Some of their Canadian peers who started out in
the 1980’s have seen better
days, and released albums
that were just terrible. This
CD will keep the faithful
happy and may just grab the
ears of some new fans as
well.

SMILE
One blissful summery day
in mid July, St. Peter was
suddenly sweating profusely in his heavenly domain. The heat was becoming unbearable and he dialed Satan and politely requested to have the heat
turned down. Satan laughed
and said, “No way!”
St. Peter becoming more
forceful stated, “If you don’t
turn the heat down I’ll have
to take you to court and
sue!”
Satan cackled and said to
St. Peter, “Oh yeah? And
where are ya gonna get a
lawyer??”

Golden Cape Breton Oatcakes Recipe
I was travelling last week and stopped at a restaurant
to have a cup of tea and some oatcakes and the friends
I was travelling with said they never heard of Oatcakes. I
was surprised and they enjoyed the treat and wondered if
there was any way they could get a recipe.
Naturally, I had a copy of this tasty cookie and here it
is, just for you!

This recipe for Cape Breton oatcakes is from the Gaelic
Call about the NIKKEN Wellness Home Concept. The conCollege, St. Ann’s, Cape Breton.
cept of Total Wellness is centered around the 5 Pillars of Health.
Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Family, Healthy Society
and Healthy Finances.
- - INGREDIENTS - Instead of curing disease, Total Wellness focuses on preventing it. There are four inter-related areas that give us physical
3 cups of all purpose flour
and mental well being. They are; Rest & Relaxation, Nutrition,
Environment and Fitness. If we can keep these four areas in
3 cups of rolled oats
balance, there will be a dramatic improvement in our quality of
life.
1 cup of shortening
NIKKEN Wellness Technology products can address each one
1 cup of butter, softened
of these areas and out your body back into balance.
3 / 4 cup brown sugar
1 / 4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 / 4 cup cold water
Mix together in a large bowl, the flour, oats, brown sugar,
salt and baking soda. Cut in the shortening and the butter.
Mix together until the dough is crumbly. Add enough of
the water so that the dough holds together and can be
rolled.
Put the dough on a floured board and roll out to a
thickness of about 4 mm. Cut into squares or rounds of
about 7 cm. Place on greased cookie sheets and bake at
350 degrees F. for about 12 minutes or until brown.
Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
