People of our Community:
Brent MacDonald Turns 100 Years Young
By Bruce Holland
The best part of being a publisher is coming
into contact with amazing people of the
community, people like Brent MacDonald,
who turned 100 on October 27th, 2015.
When I was originally contacted by
Shari Landry, Lifestyle Consultant at
Parkland Retirement where Brent resides,
we discussed his service in WWII. After
spending time with Brent, I now know the
richness that his time as a youth in Nova
Scotia brought to his life. In addition to
being a veteran, Brent was a dedicated
husband to his loving wife Tina (Mallay),
the Father of 4 boys, a successful local
businessman, a community developer and
a committed volunteer.
Brent MacDonald shares a laugh with Shari Landry
I spent a delightful afternoon listening to
Brent eloquently describe his life, from
the time he lived in an orphanage on the
Eastern Shore that his Aunt and Uncle

loving wife Tina after a snowball fight,
to his service in World War II, to his life
today. Never a dull moment!
Rockingham called MacDonald’s Food
Market. “I put a big sign on the front of
the store,” he told me, “A sign as big as the
store itself.” He eventually bought a second
store in Sackville, that he rebuilt after a fire.
Brent described to me the trials and Brent eventually bought out a competitor

Fall Bulbs and Perennials
Parkview
News
By Wendy Jeans
Now that the leaves have turned, there’s
a chill in the air, and our gardens have
become dormant, spring couldn’t seem
further away. However, if you want to
ensure colourful bursts of new life after a
long winter, now is the time to act!
you should have received them by now, as
they are shipped according to hardiness
zone. It is important that you choose plants
appropriate for your climate zone so that
they will survive the winter. They come
in the form of bulbs, corms, fibrous roots,
tubers, rhizomes, tap roots, roots with eyes,
Nothing is more hopeful than those first and plant pips. The task seems daunting,
blooms appearing amongst the last of the but it is only a matter of following simple
melting snow. As it is with most things in instructions, specific to each plant. Once
life, being prepared is the most important invigorated by the brisk fall air, the job
task. Fall bulbs and perennials must be goes by quickly. Think of it as a gift to your
planted now. If you have ordered online, future self; in the spring you will reap a
great sense of accomplishment.
To plant the seeds of hope, here are a few
of my favourite perennials.
Helleborus, commonly known as Lenten
Rose, is a unique plant with dark green
foliage and rose-like flowers with large
yellow stamens. It adapts to any soil type
and is not invasive. It does not like to be in
hot afternoon sun, so be sure to plant in a
shady spot.
Crocuses are a must-have due to their
beauty and dependability. Available
in many sizes and colours, as well
combinations, they make the most impact
when planted in large clumps.
Daffodils are sunny and cheery when
planted en masse or naturalized (planted in
with your grass). Also worthy of mention
are Grape Muscari and Hyacinths. These
plants are similar, but Muscari is smaller
with grape-like flowers in soft pastel
colours, while hyacinths are taller with
tiny flowers bunched together that look as
though they are bursting open.
Last but not least - Tulips! Spring would
not be the same without them. Always best
planted in large groups or naturalized, they
are available in any colour or combination
you can imagine. Single blooms, double,
botanical and very unique tulips; this is
your opportunity to express your creativity.
So make your garden your own to enjoy
this spring and, with regular maintenance,
for years to come!

Exciting News at City Church!
There is good news for listeners of the
inspirational radio station Life 94.7 fm. The
Christian music station has strengthened
its signal. In addition to installing a new
antenna, the station has added several items
to its transmitting equipment that better
regulate the signal. Life 94.7fm, which
is also available on the Internet at www.
life947fm.com, is owned and operated by
City Church.
City Church is the scene of multiple
activities as the congregation advances
into the new season. Topping the latest
happenings was the induction of Pastor
Gerald V. Kendrick as the new lead pastor
of the growing church. Bishop Gordon
McDonald conducted the installation at a
special ceremony on October 4, 2015.
Mel is the owner and operator of Beatonridge Community Gardens and Farms, located
at 34 Flamingo Dr. It’s hard to imagine that an acre of farm land and community
gardens is located in a Halifax subdivision. In fact, the first time I stopped by for a visit,
I turned around and left because I thought I had gotten the address wrong. I tried again
at Thanksgiving and sure enough, nestled in behind all the houses, was an expanse of
land that made me feel like I had arrived in Fern Gully. Well...sort of. It wasn’t exactly
an Australian rainforest, and I, despite my efforts, am no winged fairy. But it did feel like
stumbling upon a new world. A lot of work has gone into clearing the trees, which has
all been done by Mel and other individuals of the community (not evil loggers!). They
are volunteering to help him cultivate the land and are owners of their own plots. You
can be too! Anyone interested in their own plot can participate in volunteer work days
that happen periodically, in exchange for some land. Look for more details coming next
season, but for now...
We need those leaves! If you’re out raking and have some bags you wouldn’t mind
dropping off, you can simply leave them in the driveway of 34 Flamingo. If you can’t wait
and you’re itching to know more, contact [email protected]

Halifax North West
Trails November Update
In the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes
Wilderness Area, Blue Mountain Hill was
a popular spot on Thanksgiving Day. Thirty
of us enjoyed the changing colours of fall
as we made our way to the top through the
woods. For most, it was the first time and the
discovery of all that nature provides was fun
for all ages. The recently released Trail Plan,
now online, includes a spur back country
trail to Blue Mountain from Maskwa, all
on public land. The next step will be fundraising and volunteer recruitment, before
any trail building can begin.
An important document is now available
on the Halifax.ca site - the Green Network:
State of the Landscape. Recreation and
Trails were given a lot of attention by
the many residents who took the time to
give input. ‘Connected parks, wilderness
areas, and trails provide a wide range of
recreational and active transportation
opportunities within reach of communities,
which can help promote active lifestyles,
contribute to quality of life and stimulate
economic investment’ is the positive theme
for Recreation. More public discussion
will be scheduled later for responses and
feedback.
Sponsoring a metre of trail is an option
that Halifax North West Trails offers with
Nova Scotia Trails. Forty dollars provides a
unique gift and local trails benefit. Contact
NS Trails at 902-425-5450/325 for
details, including a donor certificate in the
recipient’s name. This is a unique gift idea
in a world where over-consumption rules.

Excellent condition.

Please call: 902-443-5257
You may or may not find this odd, but I
love spending time in local cemeteries.
Every visit is a unique history lesson. This
week I had the distinct pleasure of touring
the Titanic section of Mount Olivet
Cemetery on Mumford Road. Halifax
Councillor Linda Mosher joined me in
learning a little bit more about some of
the people who traveled on the Titanic, led
by the Titanic Society of Atlantic Canada
President Deanna (Dee) Ryan-Meister.
In the past I have served as President of
the S.S. Atlantic Heritage Park Society,
a society dedicated to a White Star Line
passenger ship that went down off of
Lower Prospect in 1873. We developed
a museum and park to commemorate
that historic tragedy. Shipwrecks are the
graveyard of the ocean! You can see how
the Titanic site is of great interest to me.
The Titanic Society recently took on
the task of clearing away two Yew trees
and trimming a Maple tree that were
inhibiting the headstones of some of those
buried in the cemetery. Three gardens
were also installed at the site, one of which
will become the Titanic Garden. In 1998,
around the time that the Titanic movie
came out, interpretive panels were installed
to help visitors understand the importance
of this historic event in Halifax’s history.

New gardens at the Titanic grave site
It was a gloriously warm and sunny fall
afternoon as President Dee, Councillor
Mosher and I strolled the grounds.
President Dee has an abundance of
knowledge on all things related to the
Titanic and the effects its sinking had on
Halifax and its citizens at the time. During
our visit, she expressed the desire of the
Titanic Society to install some park benches
and complete additional landscaping at the
site. I am happy to report that Councillor
Mosher has graciously agreed to assist with
the cost of these improvements, pending
approval from the Catholic Cemeteries
Commission of Halifax.
On behalf of the Parkview News,
Councillor Linda Mosher and all those
interested in the preservation of Halifax’s
history, I would like to thank Dee and
the members of the Titanic Society of

Warm ups and stretching
The Warm Up
Before participating in a sport, whether it’s
competitive or simply pickup with friends,
it is important to warm up. The warm up
is meant to prepare your body for activity
by increasing blood-flow, increasing
body temperature and facilitating the
neuromuscular system to react. It has been
shown that specific warm ups can help
to prevent both overuse and traumatic
injuries, including ACL sprains.
Your warmup should consist of three
phases:
Aerobic Activity – 5-10 minutes of an
activity such as running, biking or skipping
to increase your body temperature – you
should be sweating by the end.
Stretching
You know it’s good for you, but it’s the
most likely thing to be left out of your daily
workout.
Stretching helps maintain flexibility, which
can help to reduce the risk of injuries that
may be due to inflexibility.
There are a lot of suggestions out there
about when and how to stretch. Most
research shows that holding a stretch for
15-30 seconds is adequate to improve
muscle length and tone – less than 15
seconds results in no benefit, more than 30
seconds results in no added benefit.
The timing of stretching is another
question many have. Should I stretch
before or after my activity? Stretching a
muscle results in a temporary strength
deficit for up to 1 hour and a decreased
running economy, meaning your usual
workout is more intense on your body
after stretching. So think about using
stretching as a part of your cool down at
the end of your workout, rather than as a
pre-workout ritual.
Submitted by Robyn Spencer
Physiotherapist at LifeMark Sports
Medicine and Health Centre
Located inside the Canada Games
Centre 902-404-3888
Stretching – often dynamic, a series of
repeated movements (eg. High knees, arm
circles) that move through the range of
movements of each joint that will be used
in the sport.
Sport specific movements – agility,
balance and strength exercises, building in
intensity that mimic the tasks you will be
performing in your sport.
Here are a couple of websites have examples
of warm up routines that have been shown
to prevent injury in sport:

Winter Dreams
by Angus MacCaull with the brokers of A.A. Munro Insurance
Last month, I saw motorists on Highway
104 pulling over to take pictures. The
dense forest was lit up with red and
yellow leaves. The fall colours on the trees
framed the hills and lakes. Then, as the
weeks passed, I saw the leaves starting
to turn brown. The air got crisper. It
even snowed in parts of the province on
election day.
The cold is coming. It’s time to close
up the cottage, do a walk-around, drain
the pipes. If you haven’t already, you’re
probably thinking about putting winter
tires on soon and getting the wood in or
the furnace filled at home. Maybe you’ve
looked at the latest designs and sales of
space heaters in the shops. Or considered
buying a new winter coat. More long
johns. That nice wool blanket with broad
stripes.
Dealing with winter is one
of the things that makes us
Canadian. It encourages
us to be a patient people.
Over the next few
months, as the roads slow
down for the season and
the cancellations begin,
we remember that the
world is not always “on
demand.” We remember
to appreciate the passage
of time and to enjoy small
pleasures. Like warm
socks and a mug filled
with hot tea. Or the new remote starter
for the jeep.
In the winter, there is less day and more
night. For some, this is not a comforting
thought. The dark is often associated
with unhappy feelings—with absence.
Long winter nights can be difficult.
But the dark is also when we dream. It
is dark when the imagination turns to
quiet corners inside, looking for different
perspectives. And it is dark in the womb
and dark in the earth of the farmer’s field.
The spring will come eventually and the
trees will bud again. The days will grow
warmer and longer.
Can we think of the dark as a part of
new beginnings? Until then, what will
you dream of this winter?

Atlantic Acura Helps Celebrate
Successful Automotive Sector
Council Program
By Bruce Holland
On October 2, 2015 the Automotive
Sector Council held a closing ceremony
for students involved in the Council’s Test
Drive Program at Atlantic Acura on the
Bedford Highway. The goal of the Test
Drive program is to assist grade 10 and 11
students with career decisions by giving
them exposure to different automotive
trades.
Troy Bennett, Fixed Operations Manager
at Atlantic Acura said, “The Test Drive
program is great! It gives the students an
opportunity to find out if they like the
industry and a particular trade before they
actually apply to study the trade and it gives
us as employers an additional employee
during the summer, who we know has an
interest in the industry.” Students entered
in the program receive five weeks paid
work placement as part of the program.
Participants in the Test Drive program had
the chance to work in a variety of different
automotive trades while earning 3 high
school credits and 300 apprenticeship
hours. This gives them a great leg up
when applying for NSCC scholarship
opportunities. To top it all off, students
even get paid for a portion of their work
placement. Automotive trades range from
glass technician to service technician to
truck mechanic and more.

Pickleball - A Growing Sport
By Canada Games Centre
Either you’re familiar with
the sport of Pickleball or,
having just heard the term,
you are envisioning a game
played with an actual pickle.
Though it has nothing to
do with those vinegary
vegetables, Pickleball is
equally as entertaining, great
for all ages and is currently
the fastest growing sport in
North America according to
Pickleball Canada.
The Happy Pickleball Team from CGC!
For those unfamiliar with the sport,
Pickleball can be best described as a
combination of tennis, badminton and
ping-pong. It is played on a badminton
court with the net lowered, while
participants using a paddle slightly bigger
than a ping pong paddle try to volley the
ball over the net in an effort to gain points
on their opponents.
Since its introduction to the Canada
Games Centre in 2012, the game has
developed quite a following among CGC
members, including Jack Yee, Karen
MacDonald, Dave Reynolds, Margie
MacInnis, Irvin Lucas, Bob Blondell and
Jackie Heathcote. This small group of loyal
players can be found practicing in the
Field House every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday morning. They share a love of
the game, a keen interest in honing their
skills and the desire to remain active. Their
practices are filled with a youthful energy
and humour, where the most common
joke shared is about spending time in ‘the
kitchen;’ an area of the court that players
are not to visit unless the ball is there.
It’s all fun and games with this crew, but
more recently it’s been medals too.
On September 16th-19th, the team
traveled to New Glasgow and took
part in the Nova Scotia 55+ Games.
Competing in Men’s Doubles, Women’s
Doubles and Mixed Doubles; Jack, Dave,
Karen and Margie came home with two
gold medals and one silver medal.
In addition to Pickleball, these Games
which are designed for Nova Scotian
residents over the age of 55 include
other sports such as golf, badminton,
darts, washer toss and many more. By
promoting fun, fitness and friendship
through sport and recreation, the 55+
Games focus on participation instead of
competition. All the same, CGC would
like to congratulate our Pickleballers on
their excellent showing at the Games.

Top Tips for Headache Relief
By Dr. Krista Prowse Welch
Chiropractor
Many people have occasional headaches
but some people have headaches that are
more severe, frequent and disabling. There
can be many different types of headaches
including: migraine, tension, cluster, sinus and hormonal. The most common of
these is tension headaches with the U.S.
National Library of Medicine estimating
that about 90% of all headaches are tension headaches. During a tension headache there can be muscle tightness in the
neck, scalp or head, which can in turn lead
to significant discomfort and pain. Fortunately, lifestyle changes can often reduce
the severity and frequency of such headaches. Some helpful tips to fight tension
headaches include:
1.Exercise regularly to relieve stress, relax
tight muscles and get your joints moving.
2.Maintain a healthy lifestyle including
regular meal and sleep routines and
avoiding excessive caffeine and alcohol
intake.
3.Manage stress by learning relaxation
techniques, finding time for hobbies, organizing your day and, if needed, seeking professional advice on improving
your coping skills.
4.Keep your muscles and joints from tightening up in the first place by maintaining good posture. Be careful how you sit,
sleep, stand and carry things. Also, try to
change your posture frequently.
5.Relax your muscles by applying heat or ice,
taking a warm bath, or stretching gently.
6.Determine headache triggers. A headache diary can help identify triggers and
therefore be useful in learning to avoid
certain activities, foods, beverages or behaviors.
It is important to take headaches seriously. Most headaches are not the result
of a serious illness, however some do require prompt attention. Chiropractors
are trained to help identify what type
of headache you are suffering from and
what factors may be contributing to such
a headache. If treatment is not deemed
appropriate, you will be referred to your
medical doctor for follow up. If treatment
is deemed appropriate, chiropractors can
offer some gentle soft tissue therapy to alleviate the tense muscles and specific adjustments to mobilize the restricted joints
in your neck or upper back. As well, they
can offer postural and lifestyle advice to
help reduce the intensity and frequency of
such headaches.

The Armdale Report
by Hon. Lena M. Diab
I am very proud to announce funding to
support three new projects that connect
people to their communities. The
Nova Scotia government is investing
in 29 projects across the province to
encourage healthier living, reduce our
environmental footprint and give Nova
Scotians more options for how they
travel between destinations. $50,000 will
go to build the Chain of Lakes bridge
and community connector linking St.
Margarets Bay Road with the Chain of
Lakes Trail; $25,000 will go to Bicycle
NS for a plan to connect the Chain of
Lakes Greenway and the peninsula;
and $2,300 will go to BayRides, a new
community based transportation service
in St. Margarets Bay.

to be part of the grand opening of the
Refugee Health Clinic. This clinic will
provide refugees with primary and
preventative health services during
their initial integration into the Halifax
area. This represents a new way of
working together in partnership with
ISANS, Halifax Refugee Clinic and the
Department of Health and Wellness.
I joined in with volunteers at the TD
Tree Day event at Dingle Park. TD and
Clean Nova Scotia teamed up to plant
200 trees. Together we can work towards
inspiring environmental change for a
cleaner Nova Scotia. I also participated
with students and staff from John W.

who were running with pride to
Frog Pond for the Terry Fox Run. I
enjoyed connecting with residents and
experiencing local culture at Bethany
United’s successful fall fair.

Councillor Linda Mosher
to Honour Donairs
During small business week I added
making the Donair Halifax’s official
food to the Council agenda. Why the
Donair? Over the past year I kept noticing
reputable publications discussing Halifax’s
Donair. It was noted in Air Canada’s En
Route Magazine and Halifax Magazine
devoted a lengthy article to it. The Donair
has even been covered in National
Geographic! National newspapers such
as the Globe and Mail and many culture
and food sites continue to write about the
Donair. Anthony Bourdain, the host of
Parts Unknown on CNN and the Taste on
ABC, was quoted in the Chronicle Herald
on November 13, 2014, as saying that the
Donair was the No.1 food on his list when
visiting Halifax. He personally claims “I
look for unique foods, unique to the region.
It is your most famous, it’s the signature
dish.” Many travel websites include photos
of people trying their first Donair.
I noted in the summer of 2015, Edmonton
Council was looking into designating their
official food and they mistakenly stated
Halifax already had the Donair as their
official food, so they could not designate
it as theirs. The Donair was invented in
Halifax and it’s to make it official. It’s
time for Council to make a declaration
honouring the Donair. I have spoken to our
Chief Administrative Officer and the staff
person authoring the mandatory report
who both confirmed it will be a short with
a quick turnaround, taking minimal staff
time.
I have been asked why not make the lobster
or seafood our official food? Lobsters are
a great food, but you can find them in
Sambro or Lockport or further afield in
Maine and other countries. Simon Thibault
of the Globe and Mail said it perfectly:
“The donair is to Halifax what the banh mi
is to Saigon, the jambon-beurre to Paris. It
is a quintessential Haligonian gastronomic
experience, as East Coast as Jiggs dinner.”
Since the item was added to the Council
agenda it has literally gone viral. One
Canadian Press story was purchased by over
40 newspapers including the Globe and
Mail, the Toronto Star and the Vancouver
Sun. It has made national television news
and has been covered by all local media
outlets. People cannot get enough of this
iconic food. Over 9,075 people shared
their Donair story on the CBC National
News Facebook page. The nationwide
publicity has provided a positive image of
our culture and has supported tourism and
the promotion of our region.
The Donair truly is Halifax’s most unique
and famous food.
Private Refugee Sponsorship
and the Syrian Refugee Crisis
Sponsoring a refugee family is a concrete
way to respond to a humanitarian crisis
unfolding overseas.
Private refugee sponsorship allows Canadians
to come together and collectively raise the
necessary support with which to sponsor
refugees. Sponsorship is a commitment of
a year and a half or more which includes
preparation, application, waiting and helping
the refugees to settle after arrival.

Private Refugee Sponsorship
How does it work?
Diana Whalen, MLA for Clayton Park West
Earlier this fall, as the Syrian Refugee
Crisis grew, we learned of the death of
a young boy fleeing with his family. This
heartbreaking story sparked important
discussions about what role Canada should
play in assisting Syrians - and people of
other nationalities – who have fled their
homes for safety.
While the federal government manages
Canada’s Refugee Program, there are
many things that Nova Scotia can do to
assist. Last month, our province made a
$50,000 donation to the United Nations
High Commission for Refugees. We
have also been pressing Ottawa to accept
more refugees and to have more of them
settle in our province. Since January 2014,
Nova Scotia has welcomed only 20 Syrian
refugees. We are willing, able and ready to
increase that number.
The number of refugees is staggering.
Gerry Mills, of the Immigrant Service
Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS)
reminded us that there are close to 17
million people worldwide who have been
forced to flee their country due to war or
persecution. Displacement is especially
acute in Syria, Iraq, South Sudan and the
Central African Republic.
But did you know that Individuals can also
help? MLAs Patricia Arab, Lena Diab and
I recently hosted a town hall meeting to
discuss private refugee sponsorship. I was
heartened by the large turnout and the
participation of Mills and Nabiha Atallah
of ISANS.
Private Refugee Sponsorship is one of the
streams through which a refugee can come
to Canada. Here, a group of at least five
people can agree to take on the financial
cost of supporting a refugee or refugee
family for up to one year. The group is
also responsible for settlement support –
meeting the refugee at the airport, helping
them to find housing and schooling.
ISANS can help sponsors put together
their application. The Anglican Diocese
of Nova Scotia and the Roman Catholic
Episcopal Corporation of Halifax can also
help. All three of these organizations are
Graphic courtesy of ISANS
certified Sponsorship Agreement Holders
with the Citizenship and Immigration
Canada.
At the meeting we heard from many people
who wanted to help but don’t have the
financial resources to support a refugee for
one year. Any contribution you can make is
important. ISANS staff told us about their
long list of upcoming fundraising activities.
They also told us about the donations that
will be needed to help refugees settle in
Nova Scotia such as furniture, winter
clothing and school supplies. Even if you
don’t sponsor a refugee yourself, there are
still ways to help.
For anyone interested in sponsoring
a family, I encourage you to contact
ISANS at 902-423-3607 or visit their
website. The full presentation from our
town hall meeting is available at: www.
