Woman dies in fiery
highway crash
Head-on collision with tractortrailer closes part of 103
By LISA BROWN
[email protected]
COUNTY — A Mahone Bay woman died Monday morning when the car she was driving crashed head-on with a
tractor-trailer on Highway 103 near Oakhill.
Lunenburg District RCMP identified the woman as
40-year-old Janet MacNeil, a lawyer and business owner.
The collision happened around 9:50 a.m. The Volkswagen Jetta was travelling east toward Blockhouse while the
truck was heading toward Bridgewater.
Police were still reviewing what happened on Monday,
but Sgt. Derek Smith said the preliminary investigation
suggested the car crossed the centre of the roadway into
the path of the truck. That matched reports from people at
the scene, who also indicated that both vehicles caught fire.
It was raining lightly at the time and the highway was
wet.
The car remained on the side of the road covered with
a tarp Monday morning. The truck ended up in trees and
in a brook a short distance off the highway down over an
embankment.
Debris from both vehicles, including a fuel tank from
the truck, littered the highway, while the smell of diesel
hung heavy in the air. Firefighters worked to clean up fuel
spilled on the highway and to contain any leakage into the
waterway from the truck.

Student wins “Stanley Cup” of heritage fair awards
Grade 6 boy to be honoured by Governor General
By LEENA ALI
[email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — A student at
Bridgewater Elementary School has received what his teacher describes as the
Stanley Cup of Heritage Fair awards.
Ben Strickland is one of 22 students
from across the country to be a recipient of the 2014 Young Citizens program. The Grade 6 student has won a
trip to Ottawa to take part in Canada’s
History Forum and the Governor Gen-
eral’s History Awards.
“[It’s] really just kind of awesome,”
said Ben.
He was awarded for his Grade 5 Heritage Fair project on Canada’s Wooden
Wonder: The Mosquito. The de Havilland
Mosquito was a Canadian aircraft used in
World War II.
“It played a very big role, not just
with Canada, but with basically the
whole world in winning World War II,”
he said.

competition, students created a four-minute video to go along with their Heritage
Fair projects. The videos were evaluated
by a panel of judges and open for an online public vote.
“A lot of people in the Mosquito community that I’ve been talking to are really
proud of me,” said Ben.
For part of his video, he explored the
Canada Aviation and Space Museum in
Ottawa and conducted interviews with
the experts.

Bridgewater food bank
facing tough choices
Senator Wilfred Moore recounts
tragic day in Ottawa
Reduced food provided, hours or numbers

COUNTY — Tough choices are on the horizon for the Bridgewater inter-church food bank
as it deals with ongoing financial pressures.
“We rely solely on donations,” food bank coordinator Gloria Hubley told a recent meeting
of Municipality of Lunenburg councillors in an
effort to raise public awareness about the challenges faced by the organization.
Feed Nova Scotia, the chief agency that collects and distributes to more than 100 member
food banks, “is our biggest source of product,”
Ms Hubley explained.
The inter-church food bank is trying to cope
with high energy costs attributed to its Churchill
Street building, which is cement block construction with no insulation. The organization’s 2013
online registered charity information return
shows a year-end loss of $1,301.
“We have still have money in the bank but
that doesn’t take long to dissipate when we have
to buy food every month,” Ms Hubley said.
Bridgewater’s food bank, operated by a board
of volunteers, has been in existence since 1984.
“Our options at this point in time seem to be
to reduce the food provided to clients, reduce

the hours of operation or numbers served,”
Ms Hubley said. “Our fundraising challenge is
to meet operational needs, to not have to turn
someone away, and to continue to provide support to those in a crisis situation.”
Ms Hubley said there is a great need in the
community for their services.
“We know that the usage is up. We know that
it’s going to continue. People can’t get a job that
pays more than minimum wage, and we are
open twice a week where a lot of food banks are
only open once or twice a month.”
Doug Quinn, one of the food bank’s directors,
said while donations of food are appreciated,
money gives the organization more flexibility,
including the ability to take advantage of grocery sales when they arise.
The food bank recently hosted an open house
to show the public more about what they do,
how and why.

COUNTY — Senator Wilfred
Moore was in Parliament’s Centre Block attending an open public forum on youth unemployment with his Liberal colleagues
last Wednesday when shots rang
out on Parliament Hill.
Unbeknownst to him, Cpl.
Nathan Cirillo, one of two unarmed honour guards stationed
at the National War Memorial,
had been wounded by an assailant and would later die.
After that shooting, the attacker, a Montreal native identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau,
entered Centre Block armed
with a rifle and more gunfire
rang out.
After shooting a guard who
had tried to disarm him in the
foot, Zehaf-Bibeau was shot and
killed by House of Commons
Sgt.-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, a
former member of the RCMP.
The events that played out
that day were both shocking and
eye-opening for Senator Moore,
who has represented Nova Scotia in the upper chamber for the
past 18 years.
“Around 10 o’clock, a security
guard came in yelling shots had
been fired and told us to clear
the room. So we were taken … to
an electronic communications
control room,” Senator Moore
recalled. “We were in room 160,
the Aboriginal Peoples’ Room,
so we were taken in back of that,
out this rear door.”
About 20 minutes later, his
group was again moved, this
time through the secure tunnel
that runs from Centre Block to
East Block.
“My office is in the East
Block, in room 229. We were
put in room 257, which is down
around the corner from my office. That was about 10:30 and
we were held there on lockdown
until 9 p.m.,” he said. “We were
guarded by the Ottawa Regional
Police SWAT team with their
machine guns.”
During that time, Gilles Duguay, who is director of security for the Senate, came into
the room and gave an update on
what had happened both at the
cenotaph and in Centre Block.
“In the East Block, ministers
have their offices, and they are
entitled to a car and a driver,
and they keep them parked with
their drivers right in front of
the Peace Block,” Senator Moore
explained.
After shooting Cpl. Cirillo,
Zehaf-Bibeau commandeered a
ministerial vehicle and drove
to the main entrance of Centre
Block.
“He went in the main door
carrying a rifle with a blanket

over it so people couldn’t tell
what it was. He goes in the Centre Block, through the main
doors brandishing this rifle,”
he explained. “A House of Commons guard saw him, grabbed
the barrel of the rifle and aimed
it to the ground. The shooter
pulled the trigger and hit the
commons guard in the foot.”
The guard went down and the
shooter proceeded in a northerly
direction into the Hall of Honour, which leads to the Library
of Parliament.
Senator Moore was told the
gunman was in full body armour
and shots fired at him by RCMP
officers, who were by then in
pursuit, “were bouncing off
him.”

Vickers, has his office,” he said.
“He keeps a handgun in his
desk, heard the shots, loaded his
pistol and came out, saw the guy
and shot him.”
Senator Moore said he had
previously experienced an
earthquake, as well as an incident where a man once tried to
drive a Jeep through the front
doors of Centre Block, but this
is the first occasion during his
time in the Senate that an incident involving the use of firearms has occurred.
“The authorities are doing
a full investigation of what
happened that day and will be
making recommendations with
regard to an increase, or the
nature of, additional security
measures,” he said. “I’m told
there will likely be an armed
security person at the entry to
the Senate chamber outside. I
guess I’m concerned that Parliament Hill remains open to Canadians. These are their buildings
and their government, and they
should have access.
“I understand that reasonable
precautions have to be taken,
but I don’t want this centre of
democracy to become an armed
camp, so to speak.”

Trio facing charges involving
prescription pills
COUNTY — Mounties say they’ve
charged three people with prescription
drug crimes following a recent vehicle
stop and search of a home in Chester

Staff Sgt. Jean-Guy Richard said officers from his detachment and the South
Shore integrated street unit stopped a
vehicle on Highway 12 in Chester Grant
on October 24.
Thirty-one-year-old Gavin Levy and
a 41-year-old woman were arrested
for possession of prescription pills for
the purpose of trafficking. Police later
searched a residence on the Croft Road,
where they arrested a 51-year-old man.
During both searches, the staff sergeant said, officers seized undisclosed
quantities of prescription drugs.
Mr. Levy was held in custody. Police

Have the good sense
to get a flu shot
R
oll up your sleeves, South Shore.
For years, the medical community has
been crystal clear in it’s message that everyone should get a flu shot.
It’s time we collectively take that message to
heart.
Last year, less than half of Nova Scotians chose to
be vaccinated.
That’s regrettable, considering the toll the flu annually takes on our communities.
First, consider over the past five seasons, more
than 1,300 Canadian have died as a result of influenza and its complications, and more than 22,000 have
been hospitalized. Besides the direct human toll of
those deaths and hospitalizations, each of those hospital stays impact a system which is already overburdened. For example, here on the South Shore,
those hospitalizations can impact the availability of
medical beds.
Besides the obvious health risks, the flu annually
takes a toll on school attendance, adds stress to the
lives of families and impacts business production.
However, the respiratory virus is largely preventable, since studies have shown a flu shot is generally
60 to 80 per cent effective.
It’s easy to come up with excuses not to get a flu
shot — you don’t like needles, it’s inconvenient,
you’re healthy and don’t need it — but don’t be one
of those people.
In reality, the flu shot is relatively painless, the
side effects are negligible, it often takes only minutes of your time, it’s free, and it’s readily available
from the offices of doctors and nurse practitioners,
at most pharmacies (except for children under 5),
many workplaces and numerous public clinics.
Still, there are many common myths which discourage some people from getting flu shots.
According to the Harvard Medical School, some
of those myths include that you can catch the flu
from the vaccine, that you don’t need a shot every
year, that you don’t need a shot if you’re healthy, and
that the flu is just a bad cold.
All the above myths, and many more, are false.
In addition, the Nova Scotia department of public
health says getting a shot is the single most effective
way to prevent the virus.
Other preventative measures include washing
your hands often with soap and water or alcoholbased hand sanitizers; covering your cough and
sneeze; limit touching of eyes, nose and mouth; and
not sharing drinking glasses.
Although everyone is encouraged to get a shot,
that is especially important for those most at risk
of severe complications, including the elderly; the
young; aboriginal people; pregnant women; those
with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes or obesity; and those who
live with or care for individuals in those high risk
groups.
Symptoms of the flu often include fever, cough,
tiredness, headaches, muscle or joint aches and sore
throat. If you do get sick, stay home, rest, drink
clear liquids and call 811 to manage symptoms or get
advice on whether to seek additional care.
We hope people have the good sense to get their
flu shots this year.
Don’t be indifferent.
Make the smart choice, not just for yourself, but
for your loved ones, those you work with, and for
your community.

Transportation co-ordinator a step forward
O
n October 15, 2014, Councillor Eric Hustvelt,
chairman of the Joint Transportation Committee, a joint municipal committee formed
to deal with public transit needs for the residents
of the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg
and the towns of Bridgewater, Mahone Bay and
Lunenburg, announced that a transportation coordinator will be hired as a first step in bringing
public transportation services to our region, with
an emphasis on providing a pre-booked or “Dial-aRide” (DAR) service.
Citizens for Public Transit is a volunteer organization that has been researching and promoting
public transit since 2006. We have advocated and
will continue to advocate for a more comprehensive
approach to public transit than DAR — specifically, a scheduled, fixed-route service — but we are
pleased that this first step is being taken. To learn
more about our organization, to get involved or to
read consultant reports addressing public transit
find us at http://www.transitlunenburg.ca.
In practice, DAR is a service limited in scope to
the elderly and disabled because it is a door-to-door,
individual service that must be booked well in advance, cannot be used spontaneously and has a cost
that is unsupportable at a regional, all-needs scale.
To open it to all comers is simply unrealistic.
What might we expect if the service were available to all and accommodated all individualized
schedules?
It has been established that the provision of public transit has spin-offs with significant economic,
environmental and social benefits. Thus, it should
not be considered a tax burden. This is a time for
decisive leadership on public transit rather than
cautious action. The hiring of a transportation coordinator to implement Dial-a-Ride is cautious action,
but at least it is a step forward.
CPT welcomes the transportation coordinator to
this challenging new position, and our members will
be very pleased to offer any assistance they can give.

Cyclists need
to use bike lane
O
ne day last month while driving between East
River and Chester I came upon two couples
bicycling towards Chester.
All that you hear about is “share the road with the
cyclists,” and when that section of road was repaved,
they added a paved bicycle path.
On this day there were two men on the bicycle
path, one behind the other, but the two women were
in the vehicle lane side-by-side, so they could talk.
They would not move over to the bicycle path when
vehicles were coming up to them, they just looked
back at drivers and never moved.
This is not the cyclists sharing our road. They
should use the bicycle path when one is available to
them and not be on the highway.

Stay out of the
Middle East conflict
I
n the last few days, an extremist has made a
deadly attack and two Canadian soldiers are dead.
What can we do to stop these outrages? Of course,
if we send military assets to fight ISIS, we can expect
retaliation.
The best solution to the problem would be to stay
out of the Middle East conflict and let ISIS and its
enemies slug it out on the battlefield. Why should we
care who rules in that part of the world?
We need to close our borders to further immigration from that part of the world, and anyone from
Canada going to fight for ISIS should have their
passports cancelled and never be allowed to return to
Canada.
In the aftermath of the attacks in Montreal and
Ottawa, we can expect more draconian laws coming
forth to harass Canadians, and we don’t need any
more restrictive laws.

Local group establishing
university partnerships
Hope is to bring programs, sports,
music and more to area
By LEENA ALI
[email protected]
COUNTY — More collaboration between Lunenburg County and some of
the province’s universities will soon be
a reality.
Under the umbrella of Now Lunenburg
County, a group of volunteers is exploring ways the area can partner with universities to bring lectures, sports games,
musical events, programs and more to
the area.
When Keith Sullivan moved to Lunenburg County, he noticed the lack of university activity in the area. Now, the
former professor and administrator is
working to change that.
“It’s something that I just felt had to
be done,” said Mr. Sullivan, who formerly
worked in Dalhousie University’s School
of Education and Faculty of Management.
“I, and many others, see the universities as being a tremendous resource for
Nova Scotia.”
Mr. Sullivan, a resident of Pentz,
pitched the idea at a Now Lunenburg
County event in May and connected with
other leaders in the area. The group has
been working on the Lunenburg County
University Project ever since.
The initial group was made up of Mr.
Sullivan; Mayor Don Downe; Craig Collins, principal of Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) in Bridgewater; and
Michelle Crouse, an investment advisor
with the Bank of Montreal.

“It’s gone much better than we had
expected,” said Mr. Sullivan.
The group has already met with both
Acadia and Dalhousie universities and
is in the process of setting up partnered
initiatives in Lunenburg County.
“They enthusiastically supported the
project,” said Mr. Sullivan.
“We don’t have the resources to tap
into the other universities yet, but we
hope to as time goes by.”
The partnerships could include bringing both music and drama programs to
the area, explained Mr. Sullivan, who has
been discussing the idea with the Chester
Playhouse. Sports events, such as hockey,
soccer, basketball and volleyball, would
be another potential partnership.
“What we’re hoping to do is arrange a
number of things for next year,” said Mr.
Sullivan.

students that could be introduced to

Lunenburg County.
“They take four science professors
from different disciplines, and they meet
with an audience of high school students.
“Students have to think of themselves
as being in a lifeboat … and they’re allowed to take one of these four professors
with them,” said Mr. Sullivan.
The event allows students to get a better understanding of each professor’s
discipline.
Another initiative in the planning
stages is a partnership with Dalhousie’s
School of Business to bring co-op students to Lunenburg County. Local businesses that are working on a project such
as restructuring can be assisted by students free of charge.
The Lunenburg County University
Project is currently partnering with Dalhousie University to provide a series
of law lectures. Dalhousie’s Mini Law
School public lectures will be presented via a video conference at NSCC in
Bridgewater. The next lecture is scheduled for November 26 at 7 p.m., room B207
at NSCC. Michael Deturbide will speak
about the perils of on-line buying. Mr.
Sullivan encourages any students who
are interested in studying law to attend
the lecture.
“The ultimate goal, I think, … is to get
everyone in Lunenburg County thinking
about how universities could help them
in their daily lives or in their businesses,” he said.

Local MLA reintroduces
Oak Island legislation
New Democrats want to protect heritage objects
By KEITH CORCORAN
[email protected]
COUNTY — Chester-St. Margarets MLA Denise
Peterson-Rafuse has reintroduced legislation in the
house of assembly that the NDP claims, if passed,
would add further protections for objects with heritage significance discovered on Oak Island.
“With this bill, permit holders must report any
heritage objects found. It also requires Nova Scotians who find heritage objects elsewhere in the
province to report their findings,” she said in a
statement recently released by the NDP caucus.
Oak Island, located in Martins Point, has been
a beacon for treasure hunters for more than 200
years. Legend has it that three young men in 1795,
having heard that pirates stashed their belongings
on many of the islands near Mahone Bay, started
digging after noticing a depression in the ground.
“We know heritage objects have recently been
found on Oak Island,” Ms Peterson-Rafuse said.
“We need this legislation to ensure Nova Scotia’s
heritage objects are being handled in a safe and
responsible way.”
If the bill passed, it would mean Oak Island
treasure-hunting permits would transition to a
new heritage-research permit.
“Once a heritage permit is received, the permit
holder will have two years to conduct any explorations or excavations,” said the caucus statement.
“During that time, the province will have the right
to appoint an archaeologist to monitor the site of
any explorations or excavations carried out on
Oak Island. This cost would be borne by the permit
holder.”
Ms Peterson-Rafuse brought up the matter on a
couple of occasions during question period in the
house of assembly. The province seems satisfied
with rules under existing legislation.
“The Special Places Protection Act is working;
it is doing what it is intended to do,” Communities,
Culture and Heritage minister Tony Ince told the
legislature. “I say that because those licensees who
are working on Oak Island have co-operated with
us. They have been sending in artifacts and items
that have been of some interest to the province.
That being said, I do not have any other control
on that particular site — that goes to the minister
of natural resources, because it is the Oak Island
Treasure Act. I am responsible for the Special
Places Protection Act.”
Natural Resources Minister Zach Churchill gave
this response when Ms Peterson-Rafuse brought up
the Oak Island issue in the legislature a couple of
days later.
“When someone is pursuing a treasure hunt in
Nova Scotia, according to the laws that have been
set out by this Legislature, they are operating
under a different piece of legislation, particularly
in Oak Island,” he explained. “That piece of legislation was brought in in 2010 by the previous
NDP Government. If the member opposite has any
questions related to that, perhaps she could discuss
the situation with her colleagues who brought that
particular piece of legislation in.”
Ms Peterson-Rafuse said having an archaeologist on site should be mandatory. “That’s an easy
solution that the minister himself can do to protect
Oak Island and what is found there, protect the
heritage for Nova Scotians, and protect tourism
and cultural opportunities in the future so the treasures do not leave, if anything is found, and then all
we have is a hole in the ground.”
On October 16, Ms Peterson-Rafuse asked “who
owns the treasure and heritage objects found thus
far on Oak Island and will the [communities, culture and heritage] minister table a list of these
items in the house?”
Replied Mr. Ince, “First of all, you have to separate: there are treasures and there are artifacts.
The artifacts belong to the people of Nova Scotia,
the province of Nova Scotia. Treasure is an item
that once the licensee has the permission to do the
digging, they own that treasure. Now, they are to
give the province a royalty on that.”

Service station owner admits
assaulting would-be thief
Early-morning altercation left man in hospital
By LISA BROWN
[email protected]
COUNTY — The owner of a Chester
Basin service station has pleaded guilty
to a charge of assault causing bodily
harm after injuring a man who was trying to break into his business 17 months
ago.
Wesley David Hatt had been scheduled to have a four-day trial last week in
Bridgewater provincial court on charges
of aggravated assault and assault with a
weapon.
Instead, the 53-year-old pleaded guilty
to the included offence on the first charge,
admitting he injured Bruce Richard Long
in the early-morning hours of May 24,
2013.
Mr. Long is currently serving a prison
term for attempted break and enter and a
string of other crimes.
At his sentencing last October, the
court heard that police responded to a
report of a break and enter in progress
around 3:30 a.m. When they arrived at the
Petro-Can station, Mr. Hatt indicated he
had been there fixing a window that had
been broken earlier that morning when
he saw Mr. Long arrive on an all-terrain
vehicle and pick up a rock.
Believing he might be about to break
another window, Mr. Hatt told police he
knocked the other man to the ground. Mr.
Long indicated he had a gun and threatened Mr. Hatt, who struck him several
times with a steal exhaust pipe and called
for police.
Mr. Long suffered a fractured skull and
a broken jaw and cheekbone in the altercation. He was taken to South Shore Regional Hospital and was later transferred
with the Queen Elizabeth Health Sciences
Centre in Halifax.
Mr. Hatt will be sentenced on December 17.
Lunenburg County RCMP investigate an October 21 crash in Farmington, near New
Germany, involving a Ford Freestar minivan. A woman and three children were hurt in
the incident and taken to hospital by ambulance. New Germany volunteer firefighters
had to use the jaws of life to free at least one of the vehicle’s occupants.
Four people hurt
in Farmington crash
THE COURT REPORT
n Impaired drivers fined. Blowing breathalyser readings of 200 and 210
milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood after being pulled over by police will
cost a Bridgewater man $1,560 and his licence for a year. Matthew William Bignell,
25, was stopped on Highway 103 near Martins River on August 17 after police
received a call about an erratic driver. He pleaded guilty to the charge on October 22.
Failing the breathalyser after driving up to a police checkpoint landed a Chester
Basin woman in court October 22. Wanda Lorraine Sode, 57, pleaded guilty to a
charge from August 2 when she was stopped in Martins River. She later blew readings
of 150 and 140 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. Ms Sode was fined
$1,300 and was prohibited from driving a for a year.
n Broke shop window. A Bridgewater woman will spend six months on
probation and must pay nearly $550 restitution after breaking a shop window.
Patricia Ann McLeod, 31, received a conditional discharge October 22 after
pleading guilty to a charge of damaging property. She threw something at her
boyfriend during a disagreement on May 4, which struck and broke a window on
King Street. Ms McLeod was also ordered to take counselling.
n Refused breathalyser. Refusing to provide further breath samples after
failing a roadside screening test has netted a Bridgewater man a $1,560 fine.
Bradford Roy Joudrey, 59, pleaded guilty to a refusal charge on October 22 when he
was also prohibited from driving for a year. He was stopped in Bridgewater on May
31 and had a prior for refusing the breathalyser back in 2000.
n Lunenburg teen will be out more than $1,700 after getting
caught drinking and driving. Riley Rayburn Knickle, 19, was stopped in
Lunenburg in the early-morning hours of August 16 because a headlight wasn’t
working on his car. The constable noted an odour of alcohol and Mr. Knickle failed
a roadside screening test. He then refused to provide further breath samples. He
entered guilty pleas October 22 and was fined $1,300 for refusing the breathalyser,
$130 for breaching an earlier release condition not to drink and $306.45 because he
was a newly-licenced driver who wasn’t allowed to have alcohol in his system. Mr.
Knickle was also prohibited from driving for a year.
Teen facing charges
after what police call
a crime spree
COUNTY — Police have charged an Upper Branch teen with
27 offences after what they describe as a recent crime spree.
Krishna Eisener was arrested October 24 and appeared in
Bridgewater provincial court on Monday. He was remanded in
custody to return to court on November 3.
The 18-year-old faces charges of break and enter, theft,
trespassing and mischief. Those offences allegedly happened

River restoration project receives funding
By ROBERT HIRTLE
[email protected]
LUNENBURG — The Government of Canada has
announced it is providing $30,000 to the Bluenose
Coastal Action Foundation to conserve fish habitat
in a sub-watershed of the LaHave River.
South Shore-St. Margarets MP Gerald Keddy said
the funding is part of the Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program, which was
launched through Economic Action Plan 2013 to
support fisheries habitat restoration projects led by
recreational fishing and angling groups as well as
conservation organizations.
Thanks to its early success and high demand, an
additional investment was included in Economic Action Plan 2014 that increased the funding available
through the program to a total investment of $25
million.
The West River, LaHave Fish Habitat Restoration
Project - Sheridan River is an in-stream fish habitat
restoration project in the West River sub-watershed
of the LaHave River.
The work completed was identified and prioritized
in the LaHave River West Branch Sub-Watershed
Fish Habitat Restoration Plan developed in 2013.
The plan involves the installation of digger logs
and deflectors as well as bank stabilization techniques to improve fish habitat in one section of the
river.
A total of $287,000 was made available to six
projects in Nova Scotia under the first round of the
program and up to $5.5 million has been approved
nationally for 128 projects designed to restore recreational fisheries habitat through the second round.
“Our government is committed to supporting
the individuals and organizations who are working
along the shores of lakes, rivers and streams across
this country to protect and restore fishing habitats
for future generations,” Mr. Keddy said in making
the announcement October 20. “Recreational fishing
is an important economic activity which attracts
thousands of visitors to Canada and contributes
billions of dollars to our economy every year. The
projects funded by the Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program will benefit Canadian communities for years to come.”
Coastal action project coordinator Shanna Fredericks said the funding enabled the fish habitat
restoration project on the LaHave to be completed
this year.
“Through the installation of five digger logs and
two rock deflectors, Bluenose Coastal Action has
restored 1,440 square metres of fish habitat in Sheridan Brook, a tributary of the West LaHave River,”
she said. “These structures will enhance cold-water
pools, fish spawning habitat and the natural meander pattern of the stream.”

in the legislature. “In May of this
year, the minister told southshorenow.ca that the CEC version is
looking like what will best serve
Lunenburg, and I will table that.
“My question … to the minister
is, does the minister still feel that
the CEC model is what will best
serve people in the Lunenburg
area?”
Mr. Glavine responded, “We
know that the current model
needs some change in Lunenburg
to deal with hours of closure. We
are awaiting [a consultant’s] report before we put a final model in
place, along with going to Lunenburg to meet with medical staff
and clinicians at Fishermen’s Memorial.”
Ms Peterson-Rafuse continued
her line of questioning.
“It was another story when
my colleague asked the minister
about the Lunenburg CEC in question period. He suggested that he
was leaning toward a family-practice offering instead of the proven
collaborative emergency centre
model, and I will table that.”
“My question … to the minister
is, why does he keep changing his
mind?”
Mr. Glavine deflected.
“Those who are following the
CEC development, there are different versions that have already
been put in place across Nova
Scotia. We have some with an advanced care paramedic — the vast
number, however, are primary
care paramedics — and we have
some shortened hours in some
locations,” he said.
“We are talking about the family practice concept that would
be part of a CEC model going forward as soon as we get the report”
from the consultant.
The province is supposed to
receive the CEC evaluation report
before winter.

Back in business
Community consignment
store to reopen
By ROBERT HIRTLE
[email protected]
LUNENBURG — Lunenburg Community Consignment
will reopen November 1.
The popular non-profit retail outlet, which donates its net
profits to local charities, was forced to close October 1 due
to long-standing accessibility issues at its 121 Pelham Street
location.
Founder and manager Cheryl Lamerson said last week
that a solution has been found thanks to the cooperation of
the building’s owner, Scott Sherman of Eleven Eleven Group,
who agreed to allow the store to expand into an adjoining
suite at 119 Pelham that is equipped with barrier-free access
and has a connecting door to the store’s original location.
“This arrangement is by far the most economical, efficient and effective for us,” Ms Lamerson said. “We have
virtually no moving to do, we
don’t have to buy new display
cases, … new signage is not
required, the rental percentage arrangements remain
the same and we are not facing increases in the costs of
heat and light.”
She said the new arrangeCheryl Lamerson
ment
has been discussed
Store manager
with the town’s building inspectors who has advised her
it will comply with the applicable building codes.
In a statement, Mr. Sherman alluded to the previous demand made by the town — either install barrier-free access
to 121 Pelham or the shop would have to close.
He said that while it is his desire to comply with the Nova
Scotia regulations supporting persons with disabilities, “we
find the unfairness of selective enforcement of those regulations to be very frustrating.
“Due to these selective actions by the town, we are having
the tax assessment reduced, which will decrease the revenue
received by the town for the next 10 years,” he said. “It really
is a shame that they have chosen such a course of action, as
it negatively affects everyone.
“Mediation of our conflict with the Town of Lunenburg is
a possibility in which we would be happy,” he added.
Mr. Sherman went on to point out that only 12 commercial
structures in Lunenburg have full accessibility compliance
as is provided through the 119 Pelham Street entrance, which
is also the only one in town with the highest level of full
paddle door switches.
The consignment store will reopen under winter hours
and will be open Wednesday to Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.
“This arrangement
is by far the most
economical, efficient
and effective for us.”

Bridgewater to introduce educational
plan discouraging feeding wildlife
By LEENA ALI
[email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — The Town of Bridgewater
hopes an educational plan will raise awareness
about the dangers of feeding wildlife.
In July, town council decided against introducing
a bylaw that would prohibit the feeding of wildlife
within town limits. Instead, it opted for an educational plan that will explain the potential issues and
ask residents to refrain from such activity.
The issue has been discussed by council since
October 2013, after some residents raised concerns
about the intentional feeding of nuisance wildlife
in their neighbourhood. The ongoing concern was
brought back to council in June 2014.
“Staff have been in contact with wildlife technicians with the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) and have discussed the issue at length,” said
strategic initiatives coordinator Amy Wamboldt,
adding that staff received pointers on what education methods may work best.
During a meeting on October 14, town council endorsed the plan, which includes a newsletter insert
with information from DNR, social media postings
around the concerns and issues with feeding wildlife
and additional information on the town’s website.

Some health services to be
impacted by computer upgrades
The Nova Scotia hospital information
system is scheduled for an important
upgrade on November 4 and 5 which will
impact services at all South Shore health
facilities.
On the above dates, the following services will not be available:
· Walk-in blood collection, including
clinics in Chester and North Queens,
specimen drop off and water testing, the
later of which will be unavailable from
November 3 to 7.
· Walk-in diagnostic imaging, including X-ray and ECG.
· Other walk-in clinics.
Emergency care services will continue
to be available.
The hospital computer system will not
be available during the upgrade, so patients may experience delays in registration, according to a release.
To minimize delays, ensure you have
your Nova Scotia health card when accessing health services. People with
scheduled appointments at hospitalbased clinics or services should arrive at
least 30 minutes before the appointment.
CHESTER — IBM, Ford, Volkswagen,
General Motors, Husquavarna, Stihl
and now the Municipality of Chester.
The municipality became ISO certified this week, achieving the 9001:2008
standard as established by the International Standard Organization when
dealing with quality management systems.
In doing so, the municipality becomes
the first municipality in Nova Scotia
to be ISO certified. Membertou First
Nation is certified as well, but is not a
municipal unit. Only three or four other
municipalities in Canada are believed to
be ISO certified.
“We believe in providing quality service in an efficient manner,” said Warden Allen Webber in an interview after
the October 16 council meeting when
council was informed it had become
certified.
Grant Thornton, which is the municipality’s auditor, carried out the assessment and awarded the certification.
Siva Nagulesapillai, the Grant Thornton official who conducted the fieldwork for the assessment, called the municipality’s systems for feedback and
document management “impressive.”
One of the criticisms of ISO certification is the cost involved in compliance.
In the municipality’s case, explained
Warden Webber, only one additional
staff member had to be hired, otherwise
the municipality already had the capacity.
“We have the skill sets within our
structure,” said the warden.
Two years ago council took the decision to adopt a quality policy to implement management best practices.
“It was decided at that point so many
months prior that ISO 9001:2008 would
serve as the best standard to package
what they wanted to do to improve services,” said Dan Pittman, records management and quality control coordinator, who was hired subsequent to council’s decision but oversaw the process.
There will be annual surveillance
audits to make sure the municipality
maintains the standard and in five years
it will have to undergo re-assessment,
but to a revised standard, ISO 9001: 2015,
which is slated to be released next year.
According the to the ISO website,
“ISO 9001:2008 specifies requirements
for a quality management system where
an organization needs to demonstrate
its ability to consistently provide product that meets customer and applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements,
and aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application
of the system, including processes for
continual improvement of the system
and the assurance of conformity to
customer and applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements.”
ISO 9001:2008 was originally established for manufactures, but is applicable for governments providing services.
ISO does not conduct assessments,
but simply publishes standards. As a
result, there is no single list of certified
companies or municipalities.
Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec, claimed to be the first municipality
worldwide that was ISO 9001 certified.

New sidewalk slated for section
of Montague Street
By ROBERT HIRTLE
[email protected]
LUNENBURG — Council has agreed to
co-fund a new concrete sidewalk next to a
building at the corner of Montague and
Prince Streets which houses the recently
formed Lunenburg School for the Arts.
The building’s owner, Jane RitceyMoore, made a written request to council
October 8 offering to pay half the cost of
the project, which is estimated to total
about $8,500.
In his report to council, town engineer
Marc Belliveau said the existing sidewalk
in front of the building is a mixture of
gravel and crusher dust which migrates
onto the street “and is an ongoing maintenance problem.
“A wooden platform has been installed
on the existing Prince Street sidewalk
by the owners to improve access to [the
school]. This encroachment is not per-
mitted under the bylaw respecting street
encroachment for building access,” he
said, adding the installation of a concrete
sidewalk in front of the building would
improve the surface for pedestrians and
eliminate the need for the encroachment.
Under the curb and sidewalk changes
bylaw, property owners who petition the
town to have sidewalks installed in areas
that abut their property are required to
pay half the cost of installation after any
grants are deducted.
That is something Ms Ritcey Moore
and her husband, Senator Wilfred Moore,
who appeared in person before council
on the matter October 14, readily agreed
to do.
Despite the fact that the project was
not included in the 2014-15 capital budget, Mr. Belliveau said the town’s share
of $4,250 could easily be funded through
deed transfer tax funds and recommended council to proceed.
Bridgewater approves
municipal flag-flying policy
By LEENA ALI
[email protected]
BRIDGEWATER — Town council has
approved a policy allowing community
organizations to fly special-purpose flags
on a designated municipal flagpole.
In recognition of a special event or
cause, organizations can apply to have a
flag flown on a pole at Shipyards Landing.
In September, council directed staff to
draft a municipal flag-flying policy that
would enable non-governmental flags to
be placed on town poles. Prior to the
policy being introduced, the town had
received requests to fly flags such as the
rainbow flag.
During a meeting on October 14, staff
recommended three options, including
the current flagpole in front of the town
hall, the flagpole at Shipyards Landing,
or a pole added as part of the downtown
and waterfront detailed design.
“Currently, there’s a federal flag that
flies at Shipyards Landing, and the provincial protocol office has advised us
that it seems to go over best with the
community if we are not ever replacing a federal flag with a special-purpose
flag,” said strategic initiatives coordinator Amy Wamboldt.
She recommended that if council chose
to designate the Shipyards Landing flagpole, the federal flag should be replaced
with a municipal flag. At times when a
special-purpose flag is requested, the municipal flag would, in turn, be replaced.
Originally, the town considered adding
a flagpole near the town sign on Aberdeen
Road, with the municipal, provincial and
federal flags.
Staff were advised by the provincial
protocol office that it has not been wellreceived in other communities when a
special-purpose flag has been flown in
conjunction with the federal flag, explained Ms Wamboldt.
“Staff, for that reason, did not bring it
forward as a recommendation,” she said.
Organizations requesting a specialpurpose flag will be approved on a firstcome, first-served basis.

CHESTER BASIN — The new Legacy
Park, celebrating the Municipality of
Chester’s 250th birthday, opened recently
with a special ceremony in Chester Basin.
Although the municipality’s anniversary was about four years ago, the
Friends of the 250th Legacy Park Society
formed to keep the celebrations alive,
with the new public open space near the
Chester Basin Legion being a focal point.
The Municipality of Chester acquired
the land, measuring less than a hectare,
with the intention of establishing a park,
and area residents drew up the plans and
worked diligently on the project. The society received public, and private, sector
donations toward the development of the
park.
Municipal warden, Allen Webber, credited the society for its efforts.
“A lot of people think public open space
parks, just sort of happen somehow and
that really isn’t the case. It takes somebody who has the idea in their head, that
wants to do it,” the warden said during
the ceremony. “They have to find a bunch
of like-minded people to help them. They
have to go out and find the resources, the
money, commit their time and have the
commitment to see it though.”
The space, said society chairman Fred
Wendt, is a work-in-progress and will be
developed over the next number of years.
“We think it’s important to both remember our heritage and, as well, look
to the future,” Mr. Wendt told southshorenow.ca and the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin after the official ceremony
on October 18.
The park includes walking paths, a
bridge and a couple of pergolas. The
space will boast themed sections recognizing the area’s heritage in such fields as
gold mining and Christmas tree production. Mi’kmaq cultural heritage will also
have a place in Legacy Park.
“The idea is that the park would be an
active living place, not just a static, historical museum,” Mr. Wendt said.

Hundreds of tax bills sent to wrong addresses
Technical error causes confusion in the Municipality of Lunenburg
By KEITH CORCORAN
[email protected]
COUNTY — Hundreds of tax bills went to wrong addresses in the Municipality of Lunenburg because of a
technical snafu incurred by the taxpayer-funded printer
contracted to mail out the invoices.
“Something went wrong with how they code and stuff
their envelopes this year,” said Alex Dumaresq, the municipality’s deputy chief administrator.
“We send about 30,000 tax bills out, and it affected
roughly 2,000. I think the number was 2,200.”
The error meant some property owners received an
invoice meant for them and also a bill meant for another
ratepayer.
The municipality hired the Queen’s Printer, part
of the province’s Department of Internal Services, to
deal with issuing tax bills. Readers of its website are
informed that it takes pride in producing and distribut-
ing “high-quality professional documents, quickly and found it “cheaper” and easier on staff resources to contract out the work.

School board using
on-line bus route mapping tool
Technology intended to help communication with public
By LEENA ALI
[email protected]
COUNTY — Adopting the use of an on-line mapping tool has made assessing and generating school
bus routes and boundaries more efficient at the
South Shore Regional School Board.
The board’s transportation department has been
using ArcGIS technology, which has helped reduce
the number of calls regarding school catchment
areas.
“One of the frequent phone calls we would get
would be from parents, real estate agents and school
staff looking to determine which catchment area
a student resided in,” said transportation analyst
Gilbert Jackson.
“I just had an epiphany one day, that I could create
this on-line map that parents and the public could access,” said Mr. Jackson, who came up with the idea
last year.
The mapping tool helped increase communication
with the public and resulted in a 90 per cent reduction of inbound calls.
The web tool allows parents and the public to simply enter an address and get the information they
require.
“They can determine what area they live in right
away, without having to call,” said Mr. Jackson.
The school board annually re-evaluates 330 bus
routes for the school board’s 86 buses. Less time
spent on inbound calls has meant more time to spend
on the bus routes, explained Mr. Jackson.
A company known as Esri developed ArcGIS and
will feature Mr. Jackson’s use of the technology in its
fall publication called ArcNorth News.
Another useful tool that the department has started to implement is software called Collector. It assists with gathering bus-stop information in the
field and creating a database of existing bus stops,
explained Mr. Jackson.
“We’re able to add pictures and we’re able to take
detail of what we see when we measure a bus stop for
safety,” he said.
“When we get future duplicate requests we can
just look [them] up, and it will save us time.
“We don’t have to go to the field to recheck the bus
stop.”
Mr. Jackson said they hope to have a catalogue of
bus stops by the end of the year.
“With advancements in technology, it’s making
things a little bit
easier on our end
so that we can serve
the public better.”

The
roots
of
Canada’s
democracy come from Britain.
In the 13th Century, The elites
of British society - all of them
men - began to challenge
their King’s authority. At the
same time, the King needed
their cooperation in order to
take taxes from the people
of his Kingdom.
A15
In anticipation of the 2015 Federal Election, this space will be used
to unpack Canadian Democracy in plain english. During a time when
many people are disappointed with the the state of democracy and
some are considering alternatives to the way we govern ourselves,
it’s worth recounting how we came to have the political system
we’ve inherited.
To keep control, the King
created a parliament to allow
them to discuss new laws
and taxes. Now, any average
Joe could finally dream of
influencing
the
political
process
(presuming
of
course, that he was already
an immensely wealthy and
powerful Duke or Baron).
When the British began to
explore other parts of the
world they brought their
government with them along with their weapons,
disease
and
religious
traditions.
The first government in Canada consisted of a Governor appointed by the
British Crown and a council of advisors
chosen by the governor to help him make
decisions for the new British colony of
Nova Scotia. The Governor had sweeping
powers to make laws, but no accountability to the people of Nova Scotia.
Hardly democratic.
Eventually the Crown told the
governor to create an elected
assembly to advise the governor.
However, many minorities still
couldn’t vote; and even though
the
elected
assembly
could
propose laws, the governor and
his advisors happily rejected
ideas they didn’t like. Still not
very democratic.
After calls for change, this government became Canada’s first
responsible government. Voters’
elected representatives would
now pick the head of government,
the Premier. The Governor still
had the final say but gradually
stopped rejecting laws made by
the assembly. How democratic!
For
better
or
worse,
Canada’s
westminster
democracy
is
something
like a gift from the british
crown.
Even
though
we
are now independent from
Britain Our political system
is essentially still a carbon
copy of the british model.
This system hasn’t changed much since 1848.
The Crown’s representative in Nova Scotia
is now called the Lieutenant Governor, and
the Crown’s representative to the entire
Country is called the Governor General. We
call this a Westminster democracy.
We explore why the
majority
doesn’t
always rule in Canadian
Democracy and why
voters don’t really
elect governments.

Legal expert speaking about democracy
By JONATHAN WADDELL
[email protected]
COUNTY — Canada has some room to improve
in protecting a basic human right, according to a
legal expert who will deliver a speech concerning
changes in Canadian democracy at the Mahone Bay
Centre on November 6.
Toby Mendel, executive director of the Halifaxbased Centre for Law and Democracy, says the
government needs to update Canadians’ access
to information law, which, along with freedom of
speech, forms the right to information, a right recognized under international law.
Access to information is a protected right in
Canada as well, one that has been recognized by the
highest court in the land.
“It is not very well-known here, but the Supreme
Court of Canada, a few years ago, had a case where
it decided that the right to access information
held by public bodies was protected as part of the
freedom of expression where the information was
being used for an expressive means or an expressive end,” says Mr. Mendel.
The Centre for Law and Democracy, Mr. Mendel
said, has produced the right to information rating,
or RTI rating, a methodology based on 61 indicators
that is used to assess the quality of the legal framework allowing access to information.
The centre has assessed all 100 access to information laws that exist around the world, grading
them against a possible total score of 150 points.
Canada’s law scored 79 points, which puts the
country in 57th place.
Mr. Mendel is quick to point out, however, that
the tool only assesses the legal framework, not
the implementation or application of the law. For
example, Ethiopia is 14th with an RTI score of 112
points, but has done nothing to implement that law.
“[The RTI] is not distortive. The rating is true for
what it says, but it’s not talking holistically about
the access to information,” says Mr. Mendel. “In
fact, it’s just talking about one part, a very important part, but just one part.”
The top scoring country is Serbia, with 135
points. Serbia, says Mr. Mendel, also has a very
good system to provide information. The bottom
country is Austria, with 35 points.
Much of the problem with the law in Canada,
suggests Mr. Mendel, stems from its age. The law
is over 30 years old and has not been updated. It’s
a problem for several western nations, many of
which score below Canada, because they brought in
cutting-edge laws decades ago, but have paid them
little attention since.
Technology has been an important driver of the
change that has rendered laws obselete. More significantly, he suggests, there has been a “massive”
shift around participation. Citizens in countries
transitioning to democracy see what older democracies have and expect the same if not better. This
envy and ambition is true for access to information.
The Centre for Law and Democracy is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization that works
primarily internationally to aid countries in developing rights-based laws. Mr. Mendel will be
speaking in Mahone Bay to the local chapter of the
Council of Canadians.
Although he rejects the claim made by some that
Canadian democracy is broken, Mr. Mendel does
admit that much has caused democracy to atrophy.
“There are ways in which our democracy is getting weaker and there are ways in which it is not
getting stronger as it should be.”
COUNTY — A South Shore Health patient experience survey
has revealed that while most patients are satisfied with the care
they receive in hospital there is still room for improvement.
Over a six-month period beginning in November last year,
South Shore Health asked patients during discharge whether or
not they’d like to participate in a survey. Of the 739 people who
were asked, 60 per cent declined to participate. The 40 per cent
remaining equalled 293. To make the statistics valid, at least 288
patients had to participate.
“Overall, our patients are very happy with the service they
receive in our facilities,” said quality director Cindy Connolly,
noting 43 per cent of patients gave the district top marks on a
scale of one to 10. Eighteen per cent scored it as eight and 28 per
cent gave the district a nine.
“The patients that scored us an eight, nine or 10, were over 90
per cent,” said Ms Connolly.
Overall, patients were also satisfied with the way they were
treated by South Shore staff and physicians. Ninety-two percent
said nurses treated them with courtesy and respect during their
hospital stay and 93 per cent felt the same about doctors.
Ms Connolly said that although patients are generally happy,
the survey did identify areas that need improvement.
She said patients indicated that excessive noise during the
night was an issue. Of those who responded, only 57 per cent
said it was quiet at night.
“We haven’t found out the root cause to that. But health care
is a 24-7 operation. There will always be people who will need to
have care, even in the middle of the night,” said Ms Connolly.
South Shore Health also didn’t score as well as it would have
liked when it came to patients understanding the side effects
of new medications. Only 54 per cent said they understood the
side-effects. Another area identified for improvement is providing patients with written information about symptoms or
health problems to look for after they are discharged. Only 61
per cent received that information.
“We’ve sent the unit-specific results … and asked them look
at the survey results and look and see if there are any opportunities to improve on those things,” said Ms Connolly.
Collecting patients’ experience data isn’t new for the district.
South Shore Health has a survey soliciting information from
patients when they arrive. However, few patients responded.
“We had it available to all patients,” said Ms Connolly. “Unfortunately, for many reasons, we didn’t get a very good response
rate. It was really hard to take those results and generalize them
with any degree of certainty.”

Chester group hunts ghosts
to explain the unexplained
By PAULA LEVY
[email protected]
W
hen a group of friends in Chester get together,
they talk about the things that go bump in the
night.
Linda and Shawn Hardy of Chester Grant and Candace Cook-Bent and Harold Bent of Marriott’s Cove are
the four members of the Chester Area Paranormal Society (CAPS). The group often spends nights in the creepiest of places just to see if there’s anything supernatural
lurking about.
The CAPS team has been actively investigating paranormal activity since 2011. Case manager and investigator Ms Cook-Bent said it was their common interest in
the paranormal that prompted the group to start ghost
hunting.
“We’re all friends anyway, and from watching things
like ‘Ghost Hunters’ and that kind of thing we thought
it would be kind of neat to start a group,” said Ms CookBent.
Sometimes the group is invited to determine findings
when property owners are unsure if there is paranormal
activity in their home or business. Some of the places
they have been include Oak Island, the Chester Train Station and an abandoned church in the Annapolis Valley.
Other places are undisclosed because they say the owners don’t want anyone to know of the unearthly presence.
Earlier this week, the group held a public session to
talk about its findings at the Chester Train Station. The
group had visited the station several times to determine
whether or not it is haunted. This investigation is Mr.
Hardy’s favourite to date. Mr. Hardy is the team’s tech
savvy investigator. He said that during the evening the
group heard what sounded like rocks tapping together in
a rhythmic sequence.
“When I went home, I thought about it and realized
that, back in the day, trains communicated by Morse
code,” he noted, adding that the taps spelled S and I.
“It’s a bit of a grasp. But the next time we went back, I
asked a question using Morse code. … As soon as I hit the

last beep, there was a loud bang in the ceiling,” he said.
Back at his computer equipment, Mr. Hardy digitally
lined up the audio recordings he and Mr. Bent had taken.
But, as soon as the bang happens, the recorders mysteriously lose sync, and no one can explain why.
Unusual sounds are not limited to the train station.
The group spent several nights on Oak Island and came
away with inexplicable audio.
Mr. Bent says he heard footsteps on the island.
“When I heard it, I said ‘I could swear I just heard
footsteps’ and it was just like it was right beside me,” he
recalled. Mr. Bent was alone at the time.
Mr. Bent considers himself the most skeptical in the
group, so when he heard the footsteps he tried to dismiss
them as something else. He told other members of the
group, and when Mr. Hardy analyzed the audio recordings later, he too heard those footsteps.
“To the naked ear you couldn’t really hear it. … I

said Mr. Hardy.

to recreate the sound. No matter what they tried, they

Female firefighters
gather for training
By PAULA LEVY
[email protected]
RIVERPORT — Female firefighters of
the South Shore congregated last weekend for camaraderie and training.
Organizers Anita MacDonald, Bridgewater fire department, and Lori Gurney,
Riverport fire department, agreed it’s
important for the nearly 100 women who
serve on the 30 Lunenburg and Queens
fire departments to get to know each
other.
This year, 34 women signed up for
the second annual event, which included
a morning workshop with Halifax firefighter Sherry Dean. That was followed
by an afternoon of training on water
streams and nozzles, breathing appara-
tuses and ladders at an abandoned house.
“It’s called a networking session for a
reason, so that when we’re going to our
training sessions or mutual-aid, we’re
familiar with each other,” said Ms MacDonald.
Although the women train regularly
with their male colleagues, Ms MacDonald said there’s a certain level of comfort
when women gather together for that
same training.
“A lot of the guys know each other
from years gone by, but a lot of the female
firefighters are newer to the service so it
gives us a chance to network together and
talk about the different issues we have,”
said Ms MacDonald.
Ms Gurney added it’s important to
note that not everyone needs to go into
burning buildings
to be a firefighter.
She said there are
many roles required to serve volunteer fire departments, and women
are not excluded
from any of them.

Chester baptist church
celebrates 100 years
In 1914, World War I began, Robert
Stanfield and Hank Snow were born
and Chester United Baptist Church on
King Street in Chester opened its doors
for the first time. They have been open
ever since. One hundred years later, parishioners and guests gathered to mark
the sanctuary’s centenary on Sunday,
October 19.
Much has changed in a century. In
1914, more than 52 per cent of the Canadian population was 25 or younger.
Only 4.3 per cent was over the age of
65. A loaf of bread cost six cents and a
dozen eggs was 34 cents.
These are just a few of the statistics
that Dr. Dan Green, Minister of Chester
United Baptist Church, used to set the
scene during the special service, which
was followed by a luncheon.
“Given all the changes the world has
witnessed in 100 years, it’s amazing that
Chester United Baptist Church is still
here doing what it was built to do a century ago for a congregation established
more than 250 years ago. Hopefully, a
congregation will be here celebrating
the sanctuary’s bicentennial 100 years
from now,” commented Dr. Green.
Although the first Baptist church
in Chester was organized in 1761, the
congregation worshipped in a few locations prior to the construction of the
current building, which was completed
in 1914. Sydney P. Dumaresq, one of
Nova Scotia’s leading architects of the
time, designed the building, which is
renowned for its Gothic and Greek revival architectural characteristics. The
church, with its unique architecture,
was formally recognized as a historic
place by the Canadian Register of Historic Places in 1991.
Dumaresq’s grandson, Syd Dumaresq, who continues the family tradition of architecture, was present at
the celebration and recalled the courageous decisions made by the congregation in building the church in the early
1900s and again with the construction
of the Brian Hume Christian Centre,
designed by Dumaresq and completed
in 2006. Dumaresq encouraged today’s
congregation to go forward with the
same boldness.
A number of those attending the
recent service were descendants of
the original building committee and
of those who participated in the dedication of the church in 1914. “A lot of
the timber used to build the church
came from my family’s woodland on
the Windsor Road,” said Walter Webber,
whose grandfather was on the church’s
building committee. “My father told me
stories of how the brass on the horses
would have to be polished before he
struck off in the carriage for church on
Sunday morning with my grandfather.”
Throughout the past century, the
church has been an active part in the
community, giving the gift of hope and
faith to many who have entered, celebrating more than 10 weddings each
year, providing a place of solace for
grieving families and hosting numerous community events. In 2010, the
church became recognized as a comfort centre with a generator, full-service
kitchen and shower available for use by
the community when the power goes
out.

Opera comes to Lunenburg Academy
By ROBERT HIRTLE
[email protected]
Maestro Alberto Zedda has made
his mark on Lunenburg.
The sprightly octogenarian, who
many consider the world’s greatest
authority on the work of composer
Gioachino Rossini, recently spent
two weeks in the historic town leading the Lunenburg Academy of
Music Performance’s [LAMP] inaugural Rossini Opera Academy.
Maestro Zedda is currently director of the Pesaro Rossini Opera
Festival in his native Italy and has
conducted at major operas houses all
over the world.
LAMP artistic director Burt Wathen said each year the maestro
runs his own three week long Rossini Academy in Pesaro prior to the
big festival, where he quite simply
teaches people to properly perform
the Italian composer’s works.
“He doesn’t teach voice, he teaches interpretation,” Mr. Wathen explained. “This past big festival, 60
per cent of the stars have come from
the Rossini Academy and he will be
taking some of these kids with him
to Pesaro, which is a tremendous accomplishment for us.”
During his Lunenburg stay, the
Maestro had eight students under his
tutelage, including Canadian mezzo
soprano Rachel Tremblay.
He came away impressed, not only
with the quality and talent of his
charges, but with Lunenburg Academy as a performance venue.
“I have to say that everything here
helps — the atmosphere — it’s the
ideal place to work,” he said. “And we
worked a little bit more than usual.
Here is the very first time in my life
that I worked 15 days … morning
and afternoon. Usually when we do
this kind of thing we work only the
morning or afternoon, but it’s full
days here.”
He believes that the Rossini Opera
Academy is a perfect choice to open
the inaugural season of the LAMP,
which has a goal to provide talented
young graduate musicians with the
opportunity to study performance
and interpretive techniques with the
finest and most sought-after Canadian and international performing
artists of the day.
“We are here to begin something
you know, and we started with Rossini because he’s a particular composer who is very young, very modern … ,” he explained. “He also has a
lot of qualities you can use for other
composers or other music.”
Maestro Zedda said to sing Rossini, you not only need a vocal technique but also the right mentality.
“If you want to be an opera singer
you have to be an actor. It’s complicated,” he said. “Once you just were
listening to beautiful voices and that
was the most important thing. Not
today. Now you need many qualities
to be a good singer, an opera singer.”
When the First World War broke out in
August 1914, volunteers from across Canada, including Lunenburg County, enlisted
in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Some
were members of the Bridgewater fire department and some were the fathers, grandfathers and uncles of present-day members
of the band. They joined as soldiers, sailors
and even as bandsmen for what one historian described as “the great adventure.” It
was not long before they realised they would
not be home for Christmas — or the next
one. Or the next one, or the one after that.
The First World War was a pivotal moment not only in European but also Canadian history. In the muddy trenches of
France and Belgium, Canada truly became
a nation. Passchendaele and Vimy Ridge are
as important to the forging of our Canadian
identity as Queenston Heights or Lundy’s
Lane. The Canadian war memorial at St. Julien, near Ypres, Belgium, is as significant
as the National War Memorial in Ottawa.
On Sunday, November 2, at 7 p.m. at
Lunenburg’s Central United Church, the
Bridgewater Fire Department Band presents its fall program, “A Great Little Army,”
in honour of those local men and women
who answered the call to serve King and
Empire one hundred years ago and in so
doing helped to build our nation.
Based on a script by Bridgewater Fire
Department Band member John Cunningham, “A Great Little Army” traces the Canadian war effort through music and song,
dramatic readings and poetry, and photographs and film. The program is narrated
by Peter and Virginia Oickle, who will don
the period uniforms of a Canadian major
and a nursing sister. The band is pleased
to welcome singer-songwriter and South
Shore Idol winner Katherine Heim to perform Alex Tilley’s version of “In Flanders
Fields.” Bridgewater Fire Department Band
member Ian Bolton is featured as a vocalist
in Brian Greenwood’s arrangement of “The
Proud Canadian Soldier.” Musical selections from the popular “It’s a Long Way to
Tipperary” and “Oh, What a Lovely War” to
Gustav Holst’s “Mars: The Bringer of War”
from The Planets and Kenneth J. Alford’s
“The Vanished Army” represent the variety of moods occasioned by such an act of
remembrance.
“A Great Little Army” also marks the
official launch of the band’s fundraising
efforts for its next major project. Next August, in collaboration with its partners in

The golden years
St. F.X. honours 1950-51 hockey team,
including Bridgewater’s Ray Toomey
By PATRICK HIRTLE
[email protected]
“My role was as a team player, and I loved
every minute. It was so much fun; it was
unbelievable.”
On a quiet mid-October Thursday afternoon, the eyes of Bridgewater resident Ray
Toomey light up, filled with energy and
enthusiasm, belying his 85 years.
Such is the power of the game of hockey,
a game that tests the spirit and resolve of
the strongest men and women, a game that
is willing to modernize and to change with
the times, yet is always mindful to observe
and remember its roots.
Two weeks after being enshrined in the
St. Francis Xavier University Sports Hall
of Fame as a member of the university’s
1950-51 hockey team, Mr. Toomey recalled
passionately what it was like to be part of
what that group accomplished.
Widely considered to be among the best
hockey teams in the university’s illustrious history in the sport, the 1950-51 X-Men
boasted a record of 37 wins, 11 losses and
two ties in 50 games.
They scored 317 goals, for an average of
six goals per game, in the process of winning the first in what would prove to be a
string of intercollegiate championships for
St. F.X., counting 14 straight titles from 1950
to 1963.
The 1950-51 squad went on to become the
first university team to win the Maritime
senior title, and also won the AntigonishPictou-Colchester (APC) Senior Hockey
League before going to the semifinals of the
Allan Cup.
The group was even strongly consideration to represent Canada at the 1952 Olympics in Oslo, an honour that would ultimately go to the gold-medal-winning Edmonton
Mercurys.
After practicing with the St. F.X. team for
two seasons, Mr. Toomey earned his way
into the regular lineup by his junior year,
overseen by Father Andy Hogan.
He split his time between left wing and
defence, and Mr. Toomey laughed when recollecting some of the on-ice lessons learned
from Father Hogan, including how to properly defend oneself when necessary.
“He said, ‘Ray, when you’re in the corner
and some guy’s shooting his face off, don’t
argue with him and don’t let him know you
want to punch him. Slide your glove off and
then punch him in the face as quick as you
can. Because the referees get in so quick,
he’ll never get a whack back at you.’”
And, Mr. Toomey said, “He was right.
It worked for me. But, it was a fight more
for defensive-type things, you know. Father
Hogan was a good coach and a really good
man.”
The landscape of the collegiate hockey
world was vastly different in those days
than the regimented and well-regulated interuniversity sport scene that we know
today.
In the early 1950s, Mr. Toomey said, teams
– especially those in Ontario and Quebec
– would often bring in retired NHLers or
players who were on their way up to the big
leagues to bolster their ranks.
“We played an exhibition game in Quebec
Bridgewater resident Ray Toomey was a leftwinger/defenceman for the 1950-51 St. FX
hockey team, which was recently inducted
into the St. F.X. Sports Hall of Fame.
City, and Jean Beliveau was playing with
the Quebec juniors at that time,” Mr. Toomey said, shaking his head. “They gave us a
good lesson in what hockey was all about.
We went into the stadium, and it was full.
Where we played, if we had a crowd of 2,000
we thought it was fabulous.”
Travel, of course, was vastly different,
too. There were no private jets or immaculate team buses.
Instead, during the two years that Mr.
Toomey played on a St. F.X. participing in
the Allan Cup, the team would travel to Ontario or Quebec by train.
The rail car to which they were assigned,
he explained, became a home on steel
wheels for them.
“You eat in the train car, you sleep there
and you travel there,” he said with a laugh.
“If you’re in Chicoutimi at night and you’re
going home, you go to the railway station.”
Going on 65 years later, the accommodations, and perhaps even the game itself,
have changed.
So, too, Mr. Toomey observed in a moment
of solemnity, have a lot of the faces, which
have slowly begun to fade from memory.
“When I went up for the recognition ceremony [on October 9], there were eight of us
left from the hockey team,” he said.
“But, it felt good. I met every one of the
boys, and we had a lot of fun. For those
years, that’s all I lived and breathed was
hockey, [and] it was too bad there were
only eight of us left, but, if nothing else, I
enjoyed every stitch of my four years at St.
F.X.,” Mr. Toomey said.
“It was among the best four years I ever
had. It was wonderful.”

‘Jacks goaltending shine
Club manages one point in two games
After having no trouble generating
offense for the first several games of
the season, the Bridgewater Lumberjacks are struggling to find the back of
the net lately.
That was the case this past weekend
when the club could only muster three
goals in two games.
First, on Friday evening, the Truro
Bearcats visited the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre.
Back on October, the ‘Cats beat the
‘Jacks 5-4 in overtime in what had
been one of the best games played at
the new facility.
Alex Soumakis opened the scoring
on Friday for the ‘Cats at 14:18 of the
first period when he beat goaltender
Cory Peterson to make it 1-0.
Ryan Daley, with his first goal of
the season, tied the contest one minute
into the second period. Less than five
minutes later, Truro veteran Daniel
Perigo made it 2-1 for them, and that
score held heading into the final period.
The’ Jacks pressed for the equalizer in the third, but goalie Jacob
Fancy was solid in the Truro net as
Bridgewater threw 33 shots his way
throughout the game. Soumakis, the
game’s first star, scored his second of
the game into an empty net with 44
ticks remaining on the clock to clinch
the win for the visitors.
Home goalie Cory Peterson nabbed
second star and his rookie teammate,
Alex Nauss, was the game’s third star.
The following evening the ‘Jacks
were off to Berwick for an important
contest with the Valley Wildcats.
Josh Shatford was stopped early on
a penalty shot, but he soon redeemed
himself by scoring on a power play
a couple minutes later and the visi-
tors found themselves up 1-0 early in
Berwick. However, it was a short lived
lead as 20-year-old forward Mike Molloy brought the Valley even about four
minutes later.
It was a goaltender’s duel the rest
of the way as the ‘Jacks Chris Langlais and the Valley’s Will King went
save for save until former Lumberjack
Jeremy Butterworth scored very late
in the second to give the Wildcats a 2-1
lead heading into the final period.
Connor MacEachern, dangerous all
evening, was finally rewarded early
in the third as he tied the game at
2-2. The goaltenders then continued to
shine as the game ended tied 2-2 after
regulation.
Langlais continued his strong play
in the extra period, but with less than
a minute to play, Grant Janes scored
high glove side to give the Wildcats the
extra point.
Fittingly, Chris Langlais was named
second star of the game for his 45
save effort and Will King took third
star honors for his equally impressive
play. Overtime hero Janes was named
first star. Both teams struggled on the
power play with Bridgewater going 1
for 6, while the Valley was 0 for 5 with
the man advantage.
The Lumberjacks now sit with a
record of 4-7-2, good for 10 points and
fifth place in the EastLink Division.
They trail the fourth place Yarmouth
Mariner by four points.
Those same Mariners will visit the
LCLC on Halloween night with the
game starting at 7 p.m. The ‘Jacks
then travel to New Brunswick for
games against the County Aces and
Woodstock Slammers on Saturday and
Sunday.

Seahawks clinch playoff berth
On Saturday, October 25, the South
Shore Atom Seahawks took the Halifax
Argos and won 6-0 to clinch a home playoff spot.
Further details were unavailable by
press time.
Meanwhile, the peewee game on the
Kinsmen Field in Bridgewater turned
into the mud bowl as the 3-3 Seahawks
hosted the 5-1 Halifax Argos.
The Seahawks took it right to Halifax,
scoring on their first offensive series
when quarterback Drew Bolivar hit slot
back Isaac Zinck on a 65 yard pass play to
put the home team up.
The Argos answered back with a pair
of touchdowns, but late in the first half
Bolivar hit half back Logan Taylor on a
drag route for a 25 yard TD and made the
CROSS
COUNTRY
game 14-13 for Halifax.
The heavy rain continued to create
havoc with ball control as the Seahawks
fumbled early in the second half and
Halifax capitalized to pull ahead 20-13.
The Seahawks scored again late as
Taylor walked it in the end zone for six
more and converted his own TD with a
two-point kick. It wasn’t enough, however, as the Seahawks fell to the secondplace Argos 38-21.
The Seahawks last regular season
game will be next Saturday morning in
Dartmouth as they take on the provincial
defending champion Destroyers.
Finally, the bantams team played well
last weekend but lost a close one to a
tough Halifax Argos team.

A classic approach
to a classic cut
The River Clipper
brings the traditional barbershop to life
Story & photos by PATRICK HIRTLE
[email protected]
I
f you ask Andy O’Toole what makes
his business special, his initial response is to chuckle, shake his head
and almost dismiss the question out of
hand by saying, “Nothing.”
To Mr. O’Toole, his is just a quiet little
barbershop serving clients ranging from
two to 94 years of age and tucked along
the south end of King Street in Bridgewater.
But if you’re persistent, and willing to
push a little deeper, it quickly becomes
clear that the pride of ownership he feels
for the River Clipper, and the affinity for
his clients, is indeed special.
Mr. O’Toole didn’t enter the barbershop trade by a direct route.
“About 18 years ago, I was a sailor,” he
recalled. “The company I worked for was
Gulf Canada, and that division of Gulf
Canada folded up. Basically, I needed a
job.”
While trying to work out exactly
what his next career move would be, Mr.
O’Toole caught wind of a barber course
in Pictou and decided to give it a look.
After completing the six-month course,
Mr. O’Toole didn’t wait any longer and
immediately set about opening up his
own shop.
RURAL
“It was a big transition,” he conceded,
“but I like people.”
It was also a big challenge.
Growing a business from the ground
up is never an easy thing. It takes a real
and personal investment, both tangible
and intangible, to make it work.
Mr. O’Toole and his wife Jackie had
moved to Bridgewater in 1981, so they
already had some roots down in the community when the time came to make his
necessary career change.
Once the River Clipper opened at 360
King Street, knowing the town and how
valuable word of mouth is to a new business, Mr. O’Toole set about building his
shop’s reputation on service and the true,
genuine barbershop feel.
“It was word of mouth. That’s all it
was, really,” he recalled.
“It was a big transition,” he
conceded, “but I like people.”
Andy O’Toole
Barber
–––––––––
“That’s why I say it took a long time to
build it,” he said, making note that it was
almost five years before he felt the River
Clipper was strong on its feet.
“I had zilch for cash and couldn’t afford to advertise, so it was the best I could
do.”
Inside the River Clipper, now as then,
you’re greeted by a small, cozy waiting
room, which opens up to the barbershop
floor, where Mr. O’Toole practices his
trade on each client who sits in the antique barbershop chair.
The chair itself is a piece worthy of
discussion.
Decades old, it originally came from a
shop operated by Gabriel Zinck in Riverport a century ago. Like Mr. O’Toole, Mr.
Zinck had once made his living on the sea
before trading life on deck for life behind
a chair with a pair of clippers.
The chair would pass to another barber, Austin Zinck of Middle LaHave, before Mr. O’Toole acquired it when he was
preparing to open his doors in 1996.
The continuity that the chair symbolizes isn’t lost on those who frequent the
River Clipper.
In that chair, everyone gets treated
with the same respect in the same efficient, traditional barbershop manner.
“It’s nothing special. It’s just a plain
barbershop,” Mr. O’Toole said.
“It’s the 10-minute cut. You’re in and
out in 10 or 15 minutes,” he added. “Most
of my guys, they come because they like
the feel, they like the fact that they can
just walk in, get their haircut and be on
their way.”
In the 18 years since the River Clip-
ink
The River Clipper’s owner, Andy O’Toole, has nursed his business from the roots on up,
building it through great service and a classic, friendly barbershop atmosphere.
per first opened its doors, the price of a
haircut has only risen $4, going from $8
to $12.
“I figure that in 18 years that’s not too
bad an increase,” Mr. O’Toole said with a
smile. “And I’m proud of that.”
There’s also the social side of the traditional barbershop approach too.
It may be cliché now, but the barbershop and its barber are known for
providing a laid-back atmosphere where
clients can come in and chat about family, daily events, news, sports or whatever
is on their minds.
Mr. O’Toole said his shop is no different and the banter is part of what makes
the atmosphere great.
“There’s not very many that don’t
like to talk,” he said with a laugh. “The
odd fella will be quieter, but I’ll talk for
them.”

 FISHERMEN’S MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
15th Annual Golf Tournament
The 15th Annual Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital Golf Tournament was held at the Bluenose Golf Club in Lunenburg on Saturday, September 27, 2014. A field of 18 Teams enjoyed a
tremendous event filled with great company, team competitions, prizes and fabulous food
during a spectacular sunny day. Although some teams were on the course for as long as 7 2
hours, it did not appear to dampen their spirits.
This year’s champion, winning the John Simonds Memorial Trophy for overall low net
score was Team Tim Hortons consisting of Mike Cook, John Cook, Ray Langille, Terry Barro
and Greg Knickle, with a net score of 42.5.
Recipients of the prize for overall low gross was the team entitled The Replacements
consisting of Jamie Myra, Jake Smith, Jason Lohnes, Andy Ernst and Chad Pearson.
The organizing committee, consisting of Patrick A. Burke, Q.C. and Hubert Francis (CoChairs), Mike Tanner, Jake Smith, Tony Purcell, Ron Himmelman, Mike Lutes, Jamie Myra, Barb
Himmelman, Craig Munroe and David Francis would like to thank the participants, the volunteers and the many generous sponsors for making the day both enjoyable and successful.
We are pleased to announce, on behalf of the Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital Auxiliary
that we raised almost $27,000.00 gross, bringing the 15 year net total raised by this Tournament to an amount in excess of 1/4 of a million dollars. The proceeds from this event will be
utilized by the Auxiliary for a Deep-Wound Therapy Unit at Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital
in Lunenburg.

Province needs to rethink tourism: TIANS
Industry leader says more global approach is needed
By JONATHAN WADDELL
[email protected]
LUNENBURG —Nova Scotia needs to change the conversation about tourism and remember the importance of the industry to the economic growth of the province, according to the
new chair of the Tourism Industry Association of Nova Scotia
(TIANS).
At a gathering hosted by the Lunenburg Board of Trade last
Thursday, Glenn Squires suggested that the industry has to
work together rather than compete region against region.
“The ways we’ve done things in the past are not going to
work. There’s no sense for us to pit Cape Breton against Lunenburg against Yarmouth. The fact is we’re in a global economy,”
said Mr. Squires, CEO of Pacrim Hospitality Services, one of
Canada’s largest independently owned hotel management and
development companies.
Mr. Squires called the Ivany Report, the report of the Nova
Scotia Commission on Building Our New Economy, the impetus for change and cooperation and the Nova Scotia Tourism
Agency the best vehicle to bring about the change.
Aging family connections from New England and even Ontario have meant that people are no longer returning “home” to
the province. Nor are families taking multi-week driving vacations. More and more, people are coming from the West, and
fewer and fewer are driving.
Robert Stanfield International Airport is important, but
more incentives have to be offered for airlines to use it, he said,
and airlines have to be encouraged to send bigger planes into
Stanfield once again.
Citing statistics from 2012, Mr. Squires said, “Even though
the airlines claim their traffic was up four per cent, the number
of people was down because the airlines took their bigger aircraft and put them on the western Canadian routes.”
Mr. Squires also said that the Nova Centre, being built in
Halifax, is a significant addition, but conference attendees
need to be encouraged to come before a conference, stay after
a meeting’s conclusion and move beyond the bounds of HRM.
The ferry is an important link, but there is a golden chance to
showcase Nova Scotia products.
According to Mr. Squires, about 80 per cent of the tourist
traffic to the province is from Atlantic Canada, which is not the
market the province needs to attract. More emphasis has to be
placed on international tourists, he said, and on the premium
markets.
One way to attract more international tourists, he believes,
is for Nova Scotia to become a global leader in hospitality
training. He says that the global hospitality industry will create 160 million new jobs in the next 10 years. If students come
here from around the world they will not only spend money but
also convince their families and friends to visit the
province.
Lorne Johanson, owner of the Alicion Bed and
Breakfast in Lunenburg and a TIANS board member,
welcomed the message, but he would have liked to
have seen a better turnout.
“I’m wondering where the board of trade executive is this evening. There’s only one person representing the board of trade, and that’s the president.
I’d like to know where the town councilors are.
There’s only one person from the town council, and
that’s the mayor,” said Mr. Johanson.
Mr. Squires did advocate for those in attendance
to contact their political representative and lobby
for more attention to be paid to tourism at a political
level rather than just at a bureaucratic level.
“The message was bang on,” said Rachel Bailey,
Mayor of Lunenburg. “Tourism is a huge economic
driver, but it has to be better managed for everyone
in the industry and the province as a whole.”

Mashup weekend
planned
This fall may be the right time to take that business idea
you’ve been chewing on and put it into action.
From November 21 to 23 at three locations in Bridgewater,
Kentville and Yarmouth, aspiring entrepreneurs will come
together for 54 hours of breakneck business building during
Mashup Weekend,.
Here’s how it works: Share your new business idea. Choose
the best ideas and build teams from the talent in the room. Work
together to make your business dreams a reality. Finally, present the new business to a panel of entrepreneurs for free expert
advice.
Andrew Button is the CEO and founder of Mashup Lab, the
organization behind Mashup Weekend.
“If it sounds intense, that’s because it is,” he says.
“But it’s also a lot of fun. Where else will you find the time,
resources, space and most important — amazing people — to
learn about entrepreneurship and maybe even start a business?”

GENT: In loving memory of my Mom,
Evelyn Gent, who
passed away two
years ago. (October
24th)
Mom was a very talented lady.
She sang with perfect
pitch right up until she
left us, was a highly
accomplished bookkeeper, ran her household like a tight
(happy) ship, enjoyed
cooking and was not
afraid of spices nor to
explore foods from
many other cultures,
loved to travel, sew,
laugh...really laugh,
knit, read and when
younger she volunteered her energies
whenever asked.
And Mom was a beautiful swimmer...
It took her many years
but she managed to
teach me how to float.
And now, every time I
go for a swim I end
with a good, long
float. I let my ears fill
with water, breathe
deeply, relax, drift in
the
muffled
silence...and think of
her. It always calms
me. Just like she used
to do when we’d have
those heart to heart
talks. Some tears, but
more a feeling of
peace and resolve.
Thanks Mom. You are
gone but have never
left me...
Love you always,
Marni.
WAMBOLDT: In loving
memory of my daughter,
Angie, who passed away
October 30, 2002.
A daughter is precious
and so is her name
Without her to love, life
isn’t the same,
But as long as I live I’ll
always be glad
God gave me the little
girl that I had.
There are no tomorrows
for us to share
But yesterdays memories
are always there,
Now in God’s care you
rest up above
And in our hearts you
rest with love.
Sadly missed and
always loved, Mom; son,
Dustin and daughter,
Chantell.
DOREY: In memory of a
loving father, grandfather
and
greatgrandfather,
Carman
Sydney Dorey, who
passed away on October
18, 2013.
Hard to believe it’s been
over a year already, not a
day has gone by that you
haven’t been on our
minds. We remember all
the good times we got to
share with you. We never
thought you would have
had to leave us so soon.
You will always be in our
hearts and we will never
forget you. You were the
best father and grandfather anyone could
have asked for and was
always there when we
needed you. We miss you
so much and we would
do anything to have just
one more day with you.
Loved and always
missed
by,
Ricky,
Georgina,
Cheryl,
Shyanne, Cayden and
Sissy.

On October 15, 2014, the light in
Heaven just got a little brighter and
the earth a little dimmer.
Barbie will never be forgotten
because she touched so many souls
in such a wonderful way.
I will always cherish the times we
had together and welcome the day
that we meet again.
Through this most difficult time I am
so overwhelmed by the support that
I received from family, friends, neighbours, Rev. Neil, congregation at
West Side United, Rene Greider,
Barbie’s co-workers and former students. The outpouring of love and caring by way of visits, phone calls, cards, pictures, on-line messages, flowers and food was awesome.
Thank you all so much for being there for me. May God bless you all and may
you always carry a piece of Barbie with you as you walk through life.
Love, Heather

Keeping the faith
Pastoral care a large part
of nursing home life
By ROBERT HIRTLE
[email protected]
LUNENBURG — Faith in God often seems to increase as people draw closer
to the end of their lives.
For that reason, delivering needed pastoral care to nursing home residents
can be a demanding and challenging task that requires the work of many dedicated people.
Harbour View Haven Home for Special Care in Lunenburg is one facility that
is blessed to have an abundance of such folks and recently a special service was
held in honour of Pastoral Care Week and their committed efforts.
“The theme for Pastoral Care Week this year is spiritual well being and it
highlights nourishing the well-spring, which refers to supporting and inspiring
the spiritual well being of ourselves amid times of both ease and challenge,”
explained Meghan Walsh, Harbour View’s therapeutic services director.
Ms Walsh is part of the facility’s pastoral care committee which currently
numbers 16 people, “and that doesn’t include additional clergy that come in
from surrounding areas,” she said.
“And our own staff all do devotional programs and that type of thing and
we have our lay visitors, our volunteers from the local churches, as well, so the
special service kind of recognizes all of them.”
