St. Andrews Community Partnership Association INSIDE One of the reasons St. Andrews enjoys ongoing community growth is partnerships that have evolved over the years. The community has seen several resurgences in its history due in part to its proactive adjustment to change. In the last century there have been iterations of this philosophy that has spurred demographic, economic, and community organizational growth. It was through the St. Andrews Co-operative Store in 1936 that Group Hospitalization was first started in Nova Scotia and it was this plan that provided the foundation for the setting up of the Blue Cross Hospitalization plan for the Maritimes in 1943. The idea for the St. Andrews Hospitalization Plan began about 1931 with Fr. John R. MacDonald, parish priest; Angus H. MacPherson, St. Andrews Co-op store manager; Mother Ignatius (Mary Catherine Floyd formerly of Springfield), Superior of The Sisters of St. Martha; Angus Bernard MacDonald of Glassburn, assistant director of St. F. X. Extension Department; and R. J. MacSween, Director of Co-operatives for Nova Scotia. The influx of immigrants in the 1950’s revitalized the declining farming and resource sector and commenced the expansion to a more urban and service based centre in the past 25 years. This positive attribute was evident to the Coady International Institute who bring their “Mobilizing Assets for Citizen-Driven Development” course participants to St. Andrews to show them real examples of a community driving its own development. An example was the Fire Department outreach with Ground Search & Rescue and the Emergency Measures Organization and in the early 1990s helping the St. Andrews Softball Assoc. to raise $20,000 to put lights on the ball field. Around the same time community volunteers stepped forth to plan and construct a distinct Community Centre incorporating facilities for the Oak & Owl senior’s club; and ten years later a local Seniors Housing project was developed. The Highlander Curling Club (CC) was similarly conceived and volunteer constructed, but servicing the broader Antigonish County community. In the spirit of volunteerism the Highlander CC plans were freely provided as well as additional organization input for the community based curling clubs subsequently constructed in Baddeck and Pugwash. These successes are built on a set of values that puts a premium on self-sufficiency, community spirit, and care for others. By pooling resources, ideas, and talents, the people of St. Andrews have built tangible community services that are unusual for a rural community of 1,100 people. Success has not only motivated the residents to continue with new projects, but has inspired confidence in local partners and investors, both in government and in the private sector. In 2008, inspired by a documentary film about St. Andrews, community members gathered to discuss possible new initiatives and how best to move these ideas forward.

Pg 2 Pg 3 Pg 4-5 Pg 6-7 Pg 8 Pg 10 Pg 11 Pg 12 YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18) Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22) This week could mark the beginning of important changes in your life. Pace yourself, don’t try to make things happen overnight. Slow and easy wins the race. You have been going flat out for the past few weeks. It is time to recharge your batteries and make time for yourself. Consider getting away for a few days. Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20) Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22) It may seem that others are not taking you seriously, and that may be the case. Don’t worry you are headed in the right direction, and will soon prove it to everyone. You may be asked to step up to the plate in a leadership role that is near and dear to you. This could be the opportunity to effect the changes you want to see. Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19) Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22) You may have a problem that is keeping you awake at night. It could be you are looking at things the wrong way. The problem may be part of the solution. You may feel shut out by others this week. Get to the root of the problem before it gets out of hand. More than likely it was just a misunderstanding. Taurus (Apr 20-May 20) Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21) You may be questioning your career this week. Take your time and weigh work and family obligations before making any long term commitments. This could be a very busy week for you. You may find that you are sharing more while enhancing your communication skills. Others will respect you for it. Gemini (May 21-Jun 20) Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21) You may find you are feeling very confined in your current situation. Before things become too heated, it may be prudent to step away for some alone time. This is a good week to review your financial priorities. Take stock of what you want to accomplish, and gradually change your direction to realize your dreams. Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22) Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19) It seems that everyone wants an answer from you this week. For self preservation you may want to remove your personal hat and focus on being in charge. What you need to hear right now is the truth. In order to accomplish this others will need to see your vulnerable side. Don’t be afraid to give and take.

The American Academy of Ortho- pedic Surgeons suggest to prevent foot problems: Limit the amount of alcohol you drink. It depletes your energy. Have your feet measured every time you buy new shoes. Your foot size increases as you get older. A women should not wear a shoe with a heel higher than 2 1/4 inches. Have light snacks throughout the day. Frequent small meals and snacks help you maintain a constant energy supply. Choose healthy foods that give you energy, such as fruits, nuts and yogurt. Avoid snacks such as bars, chips and other foods low in nutrients and high in calories and sugar. There should be a 1/2 inch space from the end of your longest toe to the end of the shoe. If the When eating at a restaurant try to make healthy shoes feel too tight, don’t buy them. choices: Avoid overeating. Big meals make you feel sluggish. Many Canadians go about their daily lives deprived of sleep according to Stats Canada. A study conducted suggests that a quick, refreshing “power nap” can do wonders for your mental and physical health. The study found that napping for 20-30 minutes can reduce stress and leave you feeling refreshed. Napping for longer than that, can spoil your regular sleep pattern. Share a meal with someone else or bring half your meal home to eat the next day. Restaurant servings are often twice the size of a single serving. Send the bread basket back. Avoid fried foods. Exercise and proper diet are the best energy boosters: At fast food restaurants, order a grilled chicken sandwich and put the fixings on yourself. Choose low fat condiments. Drink water instead of soda. Don’t skip breakfast. A good balanced breakfast boosts your energy levels until lunch. Exercise. Being active is the best way to boost and maintain energy.

Andrews community organizations agreed to become partners in a new formal organization under the Registry of Joint Stock Companies called the St. Andrews Community Partnership Association. The 2009 Lieutenant Governor’s Community Spirit Award has since augmented those beginnings with the motto “the spirit continues…” among the organizations over the St. Andrews Seniors’ Housing summer.

Business Focus: Make Yer Own Wine & Beer By Marilyn Simpson, The Highland Heart The Highland Heart is delighted to bring you a look at an interesting or unique business located in Antigonish or Guysborough counties. Not only is it important to support the area economy by shopping local, it is also very practical with so many wonderful shops and services available. Business Focus is provided at no cost to participating businesses by The Highland Heart Weekly as our contribution to the local community. Make Yer Own Wine & Beer will be celebrating their first year anniversary on April 1st, and what a year it has been. William and Collette have not only gone through significant renovations to their location, but they have also started ‘brewing on premise’. In June 2014 they began fermenting wine kits for clients, and while the process started out modestly the first month, it has shown a steady increase since then, with pre-Christmas and pre-summer peaks even higher, as folks start to gear up for the warm weather and bar-b-que season. On average 25% of the brew on premise products is beer, with wine the top choice for the fermentation process. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the process, you start by choosing your wine kit, these can range anywhere from $60 to $150. You may opt for white, red, blush, fruity, sweet, dry, whatever appeals to your palette. An information card and some paper work are completed to start with, then the kit you’ve chosen is prepared, and you as the client add the yeast to begin the process.

After a demonstration on how to use the equipment, you then proceed to fill your 28-30 bottles of red or white wine; this takes approximately 20 - 30 minutes. The cost to ferment wine on premise is $49.95, plus additional costs such as bottles, labels, shrinks, corks. If it is beer you are interested in making, the cost of beer kits range from $25 - $50, and the yield at the end of the process is approximately 5 ½ cases of beer. The cost to brew beer on premise is $29.95.

There was a young lad and he heard about the way obtained (the hand) of the king’s daughter. That there was an animal that traveled by land and lake that they call the otter: that there was only one place on the otter where it could be killed. That was a little white spot in the chest and that there was a ring inside that otter. And a man who would capture that otter, that he was going to obtain her (the king’s daughter) to marry. But he went off at the break of that day down the road by the lake. He saw this animal coming in the water. He was looking at it. When it was near him, he saw that there was a white spot on it in the chest area. He had is gun ready and he raised the gun when it was fairly near him and he shot it and he hit the white spot on the chest and it fell in the water. It floated in to a place where he could grab it. He took it with him and off he went home with it. But when he was going by the king’s palace.
