Handing over the reins at Days Gone By
By Lois Ann Dort
GUYSBOROUGH – It has
been a good run but Aldona Gerrior is ready for
a rest. Gerrior, the owner
and founder of the popular Days Gone By Bakery,
Restaurant, Antiques &
Gifts, has been living the
life of a small business
owner for over 15 years.
But as of last week, with
the closing of the sale
of the business, she is
officially, almost, retired.
“I am feeling great;
great about the people
who bought it and really
anxious to work with
them and try to get the
transition through. Every-
body is going to get the
same feeling that they
always had. It is exciting
for me to be able to relax
a little bit. I see a light
at the end of the tunnel,”
says Gerrior of the sale.
Gerrior has agreed to
stay on for the next year
to help with the transition
of the business to the
new owners, Sharon and
Mike Hogan. “It is right
at their busy season that
they are buying so it is
going to be a stress on
them. It is stressful for
me, even after 17 years,
to deal with summers.”
Despite the stress of
running a small business,
Gerrior says she has
mixed emotions about
the sale of Days Gone By.
“It has been my baby.”
The Hogans have a
strong connection to
Guysborough and that
makes the sale of the
business easier for Gerrior. “It is good to know
that the feeling is there
for them; that they are
carrying it on for Guysborough. They have the
interest in Guysborough
so they are going to want
to see it prosper.”
Gerrior says she plans
to take retirement one
day at a time and enjoy
her life. She has always

Local lighthouse competing for top prize
PORT BICKERTON – The
Port Bickerton Lighthouse
is battling it out with
other lighthouses in Nova
Scotia in Heritage Canada’s “This Lighthouse
Matters” crowd-funding
competition which began
June 17.
During the month-long
competition, which ends
on July 15, the general
public is able to vote online once per day for their
favourite lighthouse.
Heritage Canada’s
initiative will provide cash
prizes to those participating lighthouse projects
gaining the greatest
amount of public support
during the campaign.
The goal of the initiative is to assist the efforts of local groups and
communities and groups
seeking to preserve Nova
Scotia’s famous seacoast
icons.
Many of these lighthouses, abandoned by
the federal government
as redundant, are rapidly
disappearing as they fall
victim to the ravages of
time and the harsh maritime environment.
The Port Bickerton
Lighthouse which was
divested to the Municipality of the District of
St. Mary’s by the federal
government in 2012 has
been a popular Eastern
Shore tourist destination
since the opening of the
Nova Scotia Lighthouse
Interpretive Centre by the
non-profit Port Bickerton and Area Planning
Association on the site
20 years ago. In 2014,
a new artist retreat was
opened in the former

Nomination races taking shape in Central Nova
Becigneul seeks Liberal nomination
DeLorey pursues Conservative nod
Janet Becigneul, one-time
parliamentary staffer and
long-time liberal party
volunteer, is seeking the
Liberal nomination in
Central Nova.
A communications
specialist whose background includes journalism, politics and marketing communications,
Becigneul settled in Antigonish County eleven years
ago with her husband,
Joseph Khoury, and their
two children.
Prior to the move,
she’d lived in four provinces, working with CBC radio, two provincial political
leaders, two Members of
Parliament, and with two
national health professional associations. She
has also worked with the
Coady International Institute at StFX. Currently she
is a freelance consultant
and community volunteer,
and was, up until declaring her intention to seek
the Liberal nomination in
Central Nova, Antigonish
Community Contact for
CBC radio’s Information
Morning.
Fred DeLorey is seeking
the Conservative nomination in Central Nova
following the recent decision of current Member
of Parliament and Justice
Minister, the Hon. Peter
MacKay, to not run in the
upcoming federal election.
“I will be seeking our
Party’s nomination in Central Nova so I can continue the great work of Peter
MacKay, who has always
been a mentor to me,
and I pledge to give it all I
have to live up to the very
high standards that he
has set as our representative,” says DeLorey. “I
have served our Party and
our Prime Minister, now I
want to serve the people
of my home community.”
A native of Antigonish
and graduate of StFX,
DeLorey, a married father
of three, has worked
with the Conservative
Party and Prime Minister
Stephen Harper in many
roles over the years after
first getting engaged in
politics through Peter
MacKay.
Janet Becigneul
“I believe in Justin
Trudeau’s vision for
Canada, and I want to
be part of the team for
real change,” she says.
“I want to work together
with the people of Central
Nova to strengthen our
communities by focus-
ing on the creation of
good, sustainable jobs,
by working with people
and organizations within
the riding toward rural
renewal, and by ensuring
our seniors will be well
cared for today and into
the future.”
Katherine Reed offers for NDP
Katherine Reed brings
a strong background in
community development
and social issues to the
table in her pursuit of
the NDP nomination in
Central Nova.
A mother of two and
longtime resident of Antigonish (Reed also lived
in Port Bickerton), Reed
is a recognized authority
on social assistance and
affordable housing policy
in the province. During
her 20 years at the Antigonish Women’s Resource
Centre, she helped
expand its range of services and its positive impacts on the community.
Her research into access
to post-secondary education for single parents
led to concrete social
policy improvements for
Nova Scotians. She has
played a leading role in
helping people living on
low incomes to improve
their education, employability, and their housing,
and then influenced government decision makers
by giving them a window
into the kinds of situations she had witnessed
in her work. A strong
supporter of accessible
transportation, Reed
currently works with the
Katherine Reed
Antigonish Community
Transit Society and was
treasurer for a similar
transportation initiative
10 years ago.
About her reasons for
offering Reed says, “This
is something I’ve carefully considered for a while
now. I have a unique perspective on the economic
and family struggles that
people have to contend
with. I’ve clawed my way
out of poverty, studied
social and economic
issues in university, and
then worked for years
helping people with their
own struggles and learning about what helps
people to improve their
lives, and what holds
them back. We all feel
the anxiety of our precarious jobs and stressed
economy here in Central
Nova, and we feel more
and more alienated from
our national government.
I have a deep understanding of our region
and the kinds of issues
that people here face,
and I have a strong drive
to improve our region’s
prospects by collaborating with others.”
Reed earned a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master of Adult Education
degree, both at StFX, and
has operated a homebased consultancy.
Reed feels that her
history of collaborating
with others to improve
the community echoes
the New Democratic
Party’s drive to create a
healthy and prosperous
society.
Reed says, “The
prospect of carrying the
NDP banner in the fall
election is very exciting. I’ve been an NDP
member all of my adult
life. Campaigning would
certainly be challenging,
but the idea of representing the people of Central
Nova really excites me
because my involvement
in local and provincial
organizations has shown
me how satisfying it is to
listen to people and work
on solutions.”
Fred DeLorey
When the Conservatives won the election
in 2006 he worked in
parliamentary affairs and
in 2007 was promoted to
the Prime Minister’s Office
as an advisor on Atlantic
Canadian issues. In 2009
he was named Director
of Communications for
the Conservative Party,
and during the majority-winning 2011 election served as National
Campaign Spokesperson.
In 2013 he was promoted to Director of Political
Operations.
“My job now is to talk
to as many people in our
community as possible
and discuss the issues
they are concerned about,
and to show them I am
the best choice to be
their Member of Parliament. I am really looking
forward to just hitting the
doorsteps and talking to
people,” adds DeLorey.
Growing up working on
the family Christmas Tree
farm and woodlot in Antigonish County, Delorey
says he gained first-hand
experience on what hard
work is all about, as he’d
typically be in the woods
and ready to work before
the sun even came up.
“I want to put my passion for my home community and my knowledge on
how to get things done
in Ottawa to work for the
people of Central Nova.”

The math of politics
Drysdale legacy
In politics, it’s funny how sometimes the math can
trip up the ability of pollsters, pundits and prognosticators of all stripes to accurately predict the
outcome of an election.
There are numerous theories as to why the
final results are getting harder to predict. It could
be that folks these days are so annoyed by call
centres that they don’t spend too much effort being
frank with pollsters.
Perhaps the emergence of the cell phone as a
primary tool of communication has had a negative
effect on the research models pollsters use to
measure public opinion. Whatever it is, outcomes
like the last two elections in Alberta and to a lesser
extent the elections in Ontario and Quebec could
lead one to believe the old axiom that truly the only
poll that counts is on election day.
With a federal election still almost four months
away, we are already prepared to give pollsters and
commentators a pass on their predictions.
From what we have seen in the past few weeks,
there is no telling what is going to happen in the
fall election. Although a Tory majority would seem
unlikely, a return of a Conservative government is
still a very likely scenario, depending on the math.
We have seen recently the retirement of longtime Tory heavyweights like Peter MacKay, John
Baird and James Moore. Normally that would signal
a renewal is about to take place. Usually when a
government has been in power for about a decade
that renewal involves a change of government. The
difference this time is that the next Parliament will
have about three dozen new seats, none of them
in Atlantic Canada or Quebec where the Conservatives are the weakest. Ontario, Alberta and BC
will have additional ridings and, depending on the
demographics, may allow the Tories to withstand
the urge for change that otherwise should be a
problem for a government so long in the tooth. So
the math may possibly help the Tories.
The math can help and also hinder those looking to unseat the Conservatives. Almost since he
was elected Leader, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals
have been running high and leading in the polls. For
many on the centre-left Trudeau was very appealing
because, for all of his fine qualities; the best thing
about him was that he could beat Stephen Harper.
Many observers, us included, could see the
Liberals gaining at the expense of the NDP. But
polling results over that time certainly indicated the
Liberals were on the upswing with Tom Mulcair and
the NDP losing steam and by-elections.
Lately however the bloom has started to come
off the Trudeau rose and Tom Mulcair and the NDP
are on the upswing and eating into Liberal support.
With renewed support for the NDP it is much more
likely that there will be true vote splitting in Ontario and parts of BC that could deny Liberal seats,
or even deliver more seats to the Tories. In BC in
particular, there is a real possibility for the NDP to
make gains.
So if the Liberals are losing support, could we
see a federal NDP government? While Alberta’s
recent election indicates that anything is possible,
again the math may not work for the NDP, this time
in Quebec.
If recent polls are to be believed, the return of
Gilles Duceppe as leader of Bloc Quebecois has
created a problem for the NDP. The Orange Crush
under the leadership of Jack Layton in 2011 saw
much of its success in ridings where the BQ used
to hold seats. Layton’s personal charm -- compared to the stoicism of Stephen Harper and the
confusion that was Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff
-- certainly won the day in French Quebec. Mulcair
is no Layton and his stiffness is right up there with
Stephen Harper. If Duceppe can find the old magic,
NDP gains in the rest of Canada will be offset by
losses in Quebec where the majority of the NDP

Murphy’s Law
By Helen Murphy
The
Weddings involve to-do
lists, and with our eldest
child to be married
mid-summer, I find that
nuptial to-do list is growing at a rapid pace these
days. Liz is a real organizer, but I’d like to keep
tasks assigned under
her name to a minimum.
She can list what needs
to be done and make
the decisions, but as
much as possible we’re
trying to keep her areas
of direct responsibility --and potential worry – to
a minimum. The goal is
for the bride and groom
to have a fun, joyful and
relatively stress-free celebration with family and
friends – which includes
the preceding days.
So I have my list.
Job number one: find
a dress. The dreaded
mother-of-the-bride dress.
I say ‘dreaded’ because
securing such involves
careful shopping. And I’m
not much of a shopper,
even when special care
isn’t required.
“You can’t buy anything frumpy,” my fashionable daughters have
instructed. Which is
good, because I didn’t
plan to wear anything
frumpy. (And by the way,
is that a poorly veiled
criticism of my current
wardrobe?)
The task really
shouldn’t be so difficult. I
have fairly broad criteria:
the dress should elicit
a response that lands
somewhere in between,
“Which one is the
bride?” and “She looks
perilous path to no-stress nuptials
awfully matronly, doesn’t
she?” How hard could it
be to find a dress with
such a wide berth of
acceptability?
Pretty hard, it turns
out. After several unsuccessful visits to Ottawa
shops, a colleague said,
“You have to go to Montreal.” So I did (tagging
it on to a trip for work).
It could be said that if
you go to Montreal to
find a dress and leave
empty-handed, you don’t
know what you’re doing.
So it’s confirmed; I don’t
know what I’m doing.
A couple of weeks later I had a business trip
to Toronto, so I planned
a few hours to check out
some shops there. Again,
no luck.
There could be a
psychological aspect to
all this. Perhaps I ‘can’t
find’ a mother-of-the-bride
Central Nova Report
Improving quality of life in small communities
By Peter MacKay
As Canadians, we are
incredibly fortunate to
live in a safe country full
of amenities, services
and people committed
to ensuring our lives are
safer, more productive
and enjoyable.
Our high quality of life
makes Canada one of
the best and most desirable places to live, work
and raise a family.
Happiness is a reflection of all that we hold
dear. In Canada, this
lifestyle is experienced
beyond our city centres
and into our smaller communities with less than
100,000 residents. Communities like ours, right
here in Central Nova.
To ensure residents
in these communities
maintain and expand our
quality of life, our government has developed
and allocated $1 billion
to the Small Communities Infrastructure Fund.
This is in addition to the
more than $3 billion in
transfers to other infrastructure programs like
Building Canada and the
Gas Tax Fund for municipalities.
Recently, we announced more than $3
million for three waste
water and one drinking water improvement
project in Central Nova.
The Towns of Trenton and
Stellerton, along with
the Municipalities of the
County of Richmond and
the County of Guysborough will soon see
drastic improvements to
its water systems.
In partnering with all
levels of government,
these upgrades will help
communities improve the
way clean water is delivered and enhance the
process for recycling wa-
ter, so that we can keep
families and residents
safe and healthy.
Our government’s
Small Communities Fund
will provide a total of
more than $22 million in
joint funding to help and
support similar projects
in Nova Scotia to ensure
small communities in
our province are not only
given a boost today, but
have lasting infrastructure in place to support
growth for businesses
and families in the region
for years to come.
By developing and
modernizing our community infrastructure, we
will create jobs, increase
investments and opportunities while building
a stronger Canada for
future generations.
We want Nova Scotians to stay, succeed
and prosper in their communities. Doing so leads
to a better quality of life
with the people they love
and the places they call
home.
dress because I’m having
trouble accepting that
my little girl is actually
getting married.
Nah.
By this point the
bride-to-be is getting a
little antsy about the fact
that I haven’t found a
dress. “You know mom,
you’re starting to run out
of time to get anything
tailored before the wedding,” she told me.
I’m feeling perfectly
fine with the idea of her
getting married.
So back to Ottawa.
This time I took the
bride with me to visit
those same shops. She
was all business. At the
store that was our best
prospect, she handed me
dress after dress to bring
to the changing room.
Some of them we both
liked a little on the rack,
others were just thrown
in for volume. I tried
on seven dresses and,
happily, we both liked
the last one – the one
that didn’t really appeal
at all on the rack. Right
price range, right colour,
almost right fit (okay I’m
working on it).
But a cloth button
was hanging loose and
it was the only one in
that size. This store does
in-house alternations and
repairs, so we asked for
the button problem to
be addressed before we
took it home. They were
happy to help and promised to give me a call in
a couple of days when it
was ready to pick up.
So I gladly put
the whole exhausting
dress-hunting ordeal behind me. Then two weeks
passed and I realized I
had not gotten the call to
pick up the dress. I mentioned this, in passing, to
the bride – which inflicted
the kind of stress I had
aimed to avoid.
I called the store, recounted my story and described the dress. They
told me they’d check and
call me right back. That
was four days ago.
After increasingly
worrisome text messag-

@_Murphys_Law
es from my daughter, I
decided a trip back to
the store was in order.
Again I told my tale
and described the dress.
The clerk disappeared in
the alterations area. Ten
long minutes later she
emerged with my dress.
Well, it was sort of my
dress – right colour and
style, only four sizes too
big.
How could this have
happened? The young
woman had not a clue.
Obviously I wasn’t going to take this particular
dress home. There are
limits to what tailoring
can do.
“I’ll see if we still
have your size on the
rack,” she said, trying to
be helpful. But I knew
the one I sent for repair
had been the last one
in that size. My chances
were slim.
Another five long
minutes passed as she
searched the racks,
finally emerging with a
smaller version of the
dress we had picked.
The dress had somehow
been restocked after the
repair.
With relief all-round, I
put the episode behind
me for good. Now I’m
moving on to the next
item on my list: the wedding ceremony music.
I’m feeling pretty
confident about that one.
You can’t misplace a
hymn.

Op-Ed: Why
our lighthouses matter

enjoyed antique hunting
with partner Fabian and
spending time with family
and now she’ll have more
time to do both. “We
have made many friends
over the years and now
we want to spend time
with these friends,”
laughing when she adds
that in the past there
were lots of invites but
never time to attend.
Sharon and Mike
Hogan are life-long entrepreneurs. The couple
currently live in Hammonds Plains but their
connection to Guysborough spans decades and
they plan to move to the
village permanently in the
future.
Sharon is the daughter of the late Frank
Lombardo and Doreen
(Halloran) Lombardo of
Guysborough and she
says the deal for the
purchase of Days Gone
By has been years in the
making. The couple made
an offer when the business was first listed for
sale just over two years
ago and re-offered when
it came up for sale again
this year. “It has always
been an itch to get back,”
says Mike.
Days Gone By is a
well-established business
is Guysborough with
many local customers.
The Hogans feel confident that although every
business venture carries
some risk, this risk was
measured. Part of their
confidence comes in the
form of Katie Pellerin; a
new face at Days Gone
By who will be employed
as the operations man-
“I never thought this opportunity would
happen for me in Guysborough”
– Katie Pellerin, new operations manager
ager.
The Hogans’ decision
to buy the business was
made, in part, out of a
desire to keep Pellerin
(their niece), and her
young family in the area.
“To keep her and her
family here was a big part
of it. A big part of our decision. We thought about
buying it and running it
ourselves and then we
went, how are we going
to do this...We know from
running our own businesses that the owner
has to be in the store.
That is what I believe in
and this is the next best
thing. We’ll be around
as much as we can but
Katie will take over and
she’s going to do an awesome job,” says Sharon.
The Hogans are quick
to assure customers that
little will change at Days
Gone By. “The only big
change that is going to
happen is we’re going
to be serving poached
eggs,” jokes Mike who
has always missed his
poached eggs while vacationing in Guysborough in
the past.
“Look what they’ve
built from meagre beginnings to this,” says Sharon sitting in the dinning
room of Days Gone By.
“We do not want to try to
change any of that. We
want to add our own little
personal touches here
and there but keep their
philosophy...The locals
love it. And those are the
people you have to cater
too...They are the ones
living here 12 months of
the year. Yes, you have
to encourage tourism
as well but you want to
support the local people.”
Pellerin, a born and
bred Guysborough native,
was looking for a way
to raise her own young
family in the community.
“This is my hometown
and we have been trying
to find jobs to stay here.
We had to move away for
work, returned home, and
faced layoffs, and now we
were facing a move to the
city. Instead this opportunity allowed our family to
stay indefinitely...I never
thought this opportunity
would happen for me in
Guysborough...Dream’s
do come true...Stick with
your passions and good
things can happen.”
Pellerin is well-known
for her fancy cakes and
cupcakes. She says that
locals can expect these
items in the display case
once she is grounded in
the operations side of the
business with Aldona’s
help. She says, “I want
to encourage everyone to
come out. We are not going to change anything...
We are going to have the
same staff, the same
turkey dinners. The spirit
of Aldona and Fabian and
what they have created
here has not left this
establishment...I am
looking forward to a really
busy summer.”

Is anything more iconic
or more evocative of our
maritime heritage than
the solitary lighthouse
beckoning sailors to
their safe harbour?
For generations
these beacons have
stood like sentinels of
hope in communities up
and down Nova Scotia’s
rocky coastline; and for
generations they served
as economic anchors
for rural areas, ensuring
that North Atlantic trade
between the New World
and the Old remained
open and robust. Time
passes, of course, and
history changes everything.
In 2010 the federal
Department of Fisheries
and Oceans declared
almost all of Nova Scotia’s lighthouses –150
of them – surplus. To
survive, these heritage
structures need community groups and private
interests to assume
responsibility for maintaining them, protecting
them, and adapting
them to the modern
world.
To date, 92 of the
150 lighthouses have
been nominated for
heritage designation. Of
those, only 35 community groups in Nova
Scotia have submitted
business plans indicating their commitment
to acquire, repair and
maintain them. Much
more remains to be
done.
Though modern technology – GPS systems,
electronic navigational
platforms, and the like
– have rendered the
swirling flash of incandescent light and the
long, lonely groan of the
fog horn relics of the
past, there’s still bright
life in the old lighthouse
of yore. They still stand
as tethers to our past,
teachers of our present,
and tellers of our future.
As the Honourable
Myra A. Freeman, Nova
Scotia’s first female
Lieutenant Governor,
said recently, “We must
preserve our lighthouses for future generations so that our grandchildren have a greater
understanding of our
maritime heritage.”
The Honourable Mar-
garet Norrie McCain, a
former Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick,
concurs: “Lighthouses
have protected ships
in the waters along our
coast for hundreds of
years. They are part of
our history and culture.
While many have been
replaced by modern
technologies, their
stories live on. They are
the spirit of Nova Scotia. By preserving them,
we honour who we are.”
We do, indeed. And
who we are has as
much to do with our
hopes for the future of
our small communities
as it does with our
respect for history and
tradition. Happily, in
our lighthouses, both
can coexist. Where
once these landmarks
protected ships along
our coastal waters, now
they can help protect
economically challenged
communities.
They can, for example, be preserved as
functioning cafes, museums, and gift shops.
In fact, the possibilities
are as endless as are
the imaginations and
will of those who embrace them.
Consider one example: There has been a
lighthouse on Battery
Point since 1864. The
project plan is to restore
the current lighthouse
as part of an ongoing
plan to secure and
revitalize the working
waterfront in the historic
Town of Lunenburg.
Another is the Cape
Forchu Lightstation in
Yarmouth which is celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2015. The
lightkeeper’s house and
surrounding buildings already boast a museum,
tea room and gift shop.
The project plan is to
re-assemble the original
lens of the 1962 light in
the lighthouse as part
of an interactive display
that will be open to
visitors.
All of which is why
the National Trust for
Canada and the Nova
Scotia Lighthouse
Preservation Society
with the help of their
project champions The
Honourable Myra Freeman, The Honourable
Margaret McCain, Jane
Nicholson and the late
Jalynn Bennett, have
launched a crowdfunding competition – THIS
LIGHTHOUSE MATTERS
– to help Nova Scotia
communities preserve
and re-purpose their
special icons.
With assistance from
the RBC Foundation, the
National Trust has built
an innovative crowdfunding platform that
will host the competition. THIS LIGHTHOUSE
MATTERS will provide
communities with the
opportunity to showcase local lighthouse
projects, compete for
cash prizes and votes,
and raise even more,
much-needed money
for their projects. The
TELUS Atlantic Canada Community helped
fund the development
of a community tool kit
and a youth engagement component of the
project.
THIS LIGHTHOUSE
MATTERS is about
generating economic
renewal for Nova Scotia
communities even as it
connects us all to our
heritage and traditions.
It’s about creating a
unique and innovative
model that provides
communities with the
real tools they need to
execute successful and
sustainable projects in
their own backyards,
under their own steam,
and with their own
ideas.
Our lighthouses do,
indeed, matter; now,
perhaps, more than
ever before. In the past,
these coastline beacons
brought sailors home to
safe harbours. Now, just
possibly, they will shine
a light on a brighter
future for everyone in
the homes and communities we continue to
cherish.

St. Mary’s River Association summer update
Fly-tying: Matching the hatch
By Christopher Sinclair
A fly fisherman’s dream
comes true when they
arrive at their favourite
fishing spot to find the
water boiling with trout
on a hatch of adult
insects. While it is a
good idea to know what
aquatic insects are in
your area before you go
fishing, it is known by
most anglers that these
adults must hatch from
an aquatic stage before
the adult. This aquatic
stage is labeled the
nymph or larval stage in
most aquatic insects.
This nymph stage is a
perfect way to identify
what genus and species
of macro invertebrates
your quarry is keyed in
on.
To do this, look for
nymph “shucks” which
are the exoskeleton that
the adult has emerged
from in the water. These
“shucks” can be found
on the rocks and vegetation around the stream.
Also to determine what
other macro invertebrates could be hatching
in the stream it is a good
idea to turn over rocks
and identify what genus
and species are present.
This identification process takes time to differentiate between species
but should be fairly clear
to the naked eye which
genus has been found.
Once you have determined what genus and
species have been found
you now need to have
those patterns tied in
your fly box to yield the
most for your effort. If
these patterns are not
present, you may need to
match the hatch exactly
depending how keyed in
the fish are to that species. If you have a simi-
lar pattern fish will take
flies of the similar colour,
size and profile but will
much prefer if you match
the hatch exactly. If you
do have the pattern, you
are in for a great day of
fishing.
If you want to learn
more about identifying
macro invertebrates and
its relationship to fly-fishing and fly tying, stop
by the St. Mary’s River
Association on August 8,
2015 at 1p.m. to take in
the Stream-Makers presentation conducted by
Christopher Sinclair and
Jocelyn Ellis. This will
be a two hour, two part
program which includes
in-stream time as well
as a quick PowerPoint
presentation. Please

wear and clothing, as
we will be in the water.

East Novability staff receive provincial certification
PORT HAWKESBURY –
East Novability Careers
Nova Scotia Center
for Persons With Disabilities, whose head
office is located in Port
Hawkesbury, is pleased
to announce that three of
its current staff have received certification from
the Nova Scotia Career
Development Association
(NSCDA) as Certified
Career Development
Practitioners (CCDP).
Pictured from left to right: Ken MacDonald, Jean Chisholm and Chris Cook. Contributed Photo
Recently, Case Managers
Jean Chisholm and Ken
MacDonald, along with
Executive Director, Chris
Cook, have each received
their certification. The
CCDP program is coordinated by the NS Career
Development Association
who received funding
from Employment Nova
Scotia to initiate the
certification program. To
obtain certification, the
candidates were required
to complete a multiple
choice exam, a structured
interview, and provide
evidence of their educational background. The
certification took several
months to complete. It
has been voluntary to
date, and therefore only
approximately 70 individuals have been certified
in the province.
The NSCDA initiated
the certification process
in an attempt to bring
standardization to the
career development
profession. Prior to certification, it was one of the
few professions in the
province that did not have
a certification process.
The new certification process identifies standardized competencies that
are required to excel in
the field of career development.
East Novability is a
specialized Careers Nova
Scotia Center for Persons
With Disabilities, funded
by Employment Nova

NDP leadership hopeful Lenore Zann
visits Sherbrooke
SHERBROOKE – Truro
NDP MLA Lenore Zann
is on a province-wide
tour to meet folks and
discuss issues, while
hoping to garner support
as she is vying to be the
next leader of the NDP
of Nova Scotia. Her most
recent stop was Friday,
June 17 in Sherbrooke.
While there she met
with residents as well
as representatives from
Sherbrooke Village. In
the evening, Beanie’s
Bistro hosted a meet and
greet for Zann. She was
first elected in 2009 as
part of the party’s sweep
to majority government,
and in 2013 was one
of only seven members
to hold her seat in the
legislature.
Zann has a goal to
rebuild the party from
the grassroots while
supporting the province’s
creative economy. A
long-time artist and advocate for the arts, she
was right at home while
visiting Max MacDonald
at Beanie’s Bistro in
Sherbrooke.
The other two identified leadership hopefuls are Sackville MLA,

Your IT Guy
by Guy McDowell
You could study at Harvard, MIT, Yale…
Did you know you can get
an Ivy League education
for free, in your living
room? The Internet is
beginning to make high
quality education available to anyone with a
computer. It’s being done
through something called
MOOCs (Massively Open
Online Courses). It’s
pronounced mook, like a
cow moo with a hard K
on the end.
World-class universities are starting to see
the potential of opening
learning to anyone who
wants to try. You don’t
need great high school
marks, or even a diploma. You also won’t get
university credits or a
degree. If you’re willing
to pay anywhere from
$40 to $200 and do the
work, you can get verified
certificates.
In some subject areas, you can also earn a
specialization certificate
by completing several
related courses. Some
areas covered are history,
business, education,
computer science…
there’s even one for
municipal water treatment. The specialization
programs have the same
cost per course. You only
have to pay for a course
that you are actually
doing, though.
These certificates are
starting to be recognized
by employers and others
as proof that you have
studied a subject and
were tested on it by a
competent school. Some
people have taken these
programs and used them
to start new careers or to
get a promotion.
There are two very
large websites that have
partnered with universities and colleges around
the world. They are Coursera.org and EdX.org.
Coursera and EdX are
very similar. You can take
courses from either of
them, or both. It’s up to
you. Both have partnered
with world class schools
like Princeton, McMaster,
University of Zurich, MIT,
and Harvard. That’s just
a few.
Both Coursera and
EdX have also formed
partnerships with industry leaders, like the Linux
Foundation, The International Monetary Fund,
and Microsoft. Between
the two of these sites,
there’s a huge world of
free learning out there for
you.
Every course has its
It’s never too late or too expensive to get a world-class education, with free and
inexpensive on-line courses. Wikimedia Commons Photo
own forum and encourages you to share and talk
with other people taking
the same course. You
could make friends and
network all around the
world.
Whatever you’d like to
know more about, visit
these two sites and see
if it’s there. If not, don’t
worry, there are plenty
of other sites like these
out there. These are just
two of the most popular
ones. Happy learning!

Twelve students completed an ATV Safe Riders Course on Saturday, June 13.
The course instructor was William Barrie, registered Canadian Safety Council
instructor. The course took place in Ogden at the home of William Barrie on
his private ATV Safety course. Partners included the Students Against Destructive Decisions Committee or SADD of Guysborough Academy, RCMP, Addiction
Services, the Municipality of the District of Guysborough Recreation Department and the Guysborough County Community Health Board. Students from
Chedabucto Education Centre/Guysborough Academy and Fanning Education
Centre/Academy participated. Pictured participants, left to right: Leona Purcell

Feature Article
First two years of Guysborough Journal now available online
By Helen Murphy
GUYSBOROUGH -- If you’d
like to take a walk down
memory lane, the first
two years of the Guysborough Journal are now
available at the touch of
the button, thanks to a
partnership with StFX’s
Angus L. Macdonald
Library.
The Angus L. Macdonald Library Digitization
Lab was set up in 2006
to provide online access
to books, newspapers,
and documents relating
to StFX, the local communities and the region.
Thanks to C@P funding,
the library was able to
hire staff to work on this
NS Historical Newspaper
Digitization Project. Andy
Hirt concentrated on
digitization of the Gaelic
newspapers while Sheldon MacDonald worked
on the Guysborough
Journal.
“We’re thrilled to have
the support of the StFX
Library and this provincial
initiative in digitizing the
earliest editions of the
Guysborough Journal,”
says publisher Allan
Murphy. “We hope to
have further opportunities
to digitize issues in the
future, to make more of
the county’s history over
the past two decades
available online to those
searching for genealogical information and other
aspects of local history.”
To get the best
possible copy, the staff
ironed the pages of
the newspapers before
scanning them. Then the
image of each page was
entered into an optical
character recognition
software, which extracted
the text from the image.
Staff then corrected the
text and created PDFs
that can be searched by
text. These PDFs are now
part of the Guysborough
Journal Archive digital
collection.
The library currently
has 17 digital collections.
The Digitized Text collection would also be of
interest to Guysborough
Journal readers because
it includes books on local
history, including Life with
the Irish in the Salmon
River District and Monastery: And Its People.
The books are available
because the authors have
granted the library permission to include their
books in the collection.
Through this project,
28 issues and 796 pages
of the Guysborough Journal have been digitized.
They are available at
http://collections.stfx.

ment.
Aside from money, it
is volunteers that makes
StanFest tick over every
year. It takes over 600
volunteers get the event
off the ground and Greencorn says that there are,
“No emergencies on that
front; just filling slots
created by turnover.”
From a sales perspective, Greencorn says ticket sales are slightly up
this year. “We hope for a
rally effect as we venture
into this comeback year.
What we are seeing is
that is actually happening.” He notes that many
people are planning
reunions at StanFest this
year which is adding to
sales.
“The situation last
year shows the fragility
of something like this,”
reflects Greencorn. “One
storm, one bad year, can
take it all away.”
This year’s festival
will, in a sense, be a
reboot of last year. Eighty
percent of the lineup
is a repeat of last year.
“There were a lot of
decisions that had to
be made last year...how
to deal with artists...we
agreed to re-offer everyone their spot. For the
artists it is the equitable
thing to do and for the
audience they are getting
the line up they missed
last year.”
The festival is just
over one week away
with the kick-off party
scheduled for July 2 at
the Canso Arena. That
launch event is a time for
the volunteers to let their
hair down before gearing
up for the busy weekend,
says Greencorn, adding
that this year the party
will be bigger than previous years with a government announcement, a
songwriters’ circle with
Bruce Guthro and performances by seven artists.
“We want everyone to
come out and celebrate
a good news story,” says
Greencorn, noting that
the end of this year’s
festival will mark the beginning of the celebration
for the 20th anniversary
of StanFest.
StanFest rises again
From page 1
two hours I went from
thinking we are toast, to
thinking that there is no
way this thing will end
over something like this.”
The days and months
that followed the cancellation of the festival,
which incurred a loss of
a quarter million dollars, saw 70 percent of
the audience renew or
donate the money for
their tickets, festivals
from across the continent offering support and
discussions began with
government that have
resulted in support from
both the federal and provincial government with
official announcements
scheduled for this coming
week.
“It is a great news
story, from the edge of
the cliff we have come
full circle,” says Greencorn adding that the
festival has actually
grown this year, has a
new business plan, and
has strengthened funding

On Saturday, 13 June The Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 117 Torbay held a very special ceremony to
honour two of its Veterans. Robert Moore and Leonard Avery were recipients of the Ambassador For
Peace Medal which was awarded by the Embassy of
the Republic of South Korea to Veterans who fought
with the Canadian Forces during the Korean War.
Both Moore and Avery served with the Canadian
Army during the period of the Korean War in the early
1950s. The ceremony began with introductions by the
Branch President Comrade David Cashin. Proclamations were read from the Government of South Korea
expressing thanks to Veterans who helped keep their
country free. The medals were presented by Hon.
Lloyd Hines MLA for Guysborough-Eastern Shore-Tracadie. Hines also brought certificates to each Veteran from the Province of Nova Scotia. Our Branch
Chaplin Rev. Frank Pelerine gave a prayer and short
Homily. Following the event a social was held and
people were able to thank the two Veterans in person.
Special thanks to Comrade Mary Richard who looked
after the administration in getting these medals for
our Veterans. Pictured standing, left to right: Fr. Frank

Alan Doyle
Livingston Taylor
MAINSTAGE PERFORMANCE: Friday, July 3, 9:40–10:55 p.m.
MAINSTAGE PERFORMANCE: Friday, July 3, 11:05–11:50 p.m.
Alan Doyle, actor, producer, newly minted bestselling author, and best known as
lead singer for Newfoundland’s beloved Great Big Sea these past 20+ years, is
set to release his second solo album, So Let’s Go, on January 20. The title track
lead single So Let’s Go, is a rousing rallying cry that’s only further proof of Doyle’s
ability to draw the listener under his banner. Equally adept at drawing a crowd,
Doyle will be embarking on a North American tour upon album release.
Livingston Taylor picked up his first guitar at the age of 13, beginning a 40-year
career that has encompassed performance, songwriting and teaching. Born in
Boston and raised in North Carolina, Livingston is the fourth child in a very musical
family that includes Alex, James, Kate and Hugh. Livingston recorded his first
record at the age of 18 and has continued to create well crafted, introspective,
and original songs that have earned him listeners worldwide.
Made in collaboration with Thomas ‘Tawgs’ Salter (Lights, Walk Off The Earth),
Jerrod Bettis (Adele, Serena Ryder), Gordie Sampson (Keith Urban, Willie
Nelson), and Joe Zook (OneRepublic, Katy Perry), the album follows Doyle’s first
solo outing, Boy On Bridge, released in 2012. “If there’s an overarching theme
on this record, it’s one of optimism…not that this is in contrast to my previous
doom laden songs,” laughs Doyle, who says this album is freer than Boy On
Bridge in the respect of being open to all influences. “On my last solo record
I wanted to explore musical backyards of friends of mine in different parts of
the musical world. It was as much a physical as a musical journey away from
home. On So Let’s Go, folks will hear much more stuff from my backyard and
all the traditional and Celtic influences I grew up with, married with the most
contemporary collaborators out there.” A nontraditional marriage for Doyle was
writing his first book simultaneously with the album, the bestselling memoir
Where I Belong, released last month.
From top-40 hits “I Will Be in Love with You” and “I’ll Come Running,” to “I Can
Dream of You” and “Boatman,” both recorded by his brother James, Livingston’s
creative output has continued unabated. His musical knowledge has inspired a
varied repertoire, and he is equally at home with a range of musical genres—folk,
pop, gospel, jazz—and from upbeat storytelling to touching ballads.
The album’s eponymous song is consistent with Alan Doyle’s ethos: we’re lucky
to be here so let’s make the most of it. This spirit also infuses the heartfelt Take
Us Home while Sins of a Saturday Night celebrates a come-what-may approach.
The album also gets reflective in moments, such as the plaintive Laying Down
To Perish, inspired by a visit to Fogo Island. As a whole, So Let’s Go remains
consistent with Alan Doyle’s enthusiasm for the wider world combined with a love
for the comfort of home.
Livingston has never stopped performing since those early coffeehouse days,
touring with major artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett and Jethro Tull,
and he maintains a busy concert schedule of over 80 shows a year. He is a
natural performer, peppering his shows with personal stories, anecdotes and
ineffable warmth that connect him to his fans. His relaxed on-stage presence
belies the depth of his musical knowledge, and fans might just as often be
treated to a classic Gershwin or something from the best of Broadway.
Livingston is a full professor at Berklee College of Music, where he has taught
a Stage Performance course since 1989. He teaches young artists invaluable
lessons learned over the course of an extensive career on the road; the course is
consistently voted the most popular at the College. His book, Stage Performance,
released in 2011 offers those lessons to anyone who is interested in elevating
their presentation standards to professional standards.

Alan Doyle hails from Petty Harbour, NL, and formed Great Big Sea in 1993 with
Sean McCann, Bob Hallett, and Darrell Power, in which they fused traditional
Newfoundland music with their own pop sensibilities. Their nine albums,
double disc hits retrospective, and two DVD releases have been declared Gold
or Platinum and have sold a combined 1.2 million copies in Canada. So Let’s
Go continues to cement Alan Doyle’s reputation as one of our country’s most
treasured musicians and storytellers. “I always want people to have the greatest
night of their life when the house lights go down.”

Statement on Active
Outdoor Play. The gist of
this year’s report card is
that kids need to get outside more and they need
to engage more fully
with their environments
when they’re out there.
It’s time to get out of
kids’ way; let them play
outside and give them
the freedom to occasionally scrape a knee.
Active play in nature and

– is essential for healthy
child development.”

Guysborough RCMP investigating
property crimes
Just after midnight on
June 19, Guysborough
District RCMP responded
to a break and enter in
progress on Hart Rd., in
Boylston. A home owner
encountered a suspect
stealing power tools from
their garage. The suspect
ran from the scene and
fled in a waiting vehicle.
The next morning, several
thefts from vehicles in
the area were reported.
A dark coloured vehicle
had been spotted in the
area around the time of
the crimes. It is believed
these crimes are related
to several thefts on North
Riverside Road where
vehicles were entered
and property stolen on
June 12.
•• lock your doors and
vehicle (Most criminals don’t want to
break the glass for
fear of making noise).
•• remove valuables or
place out of sight (If
nothing valuable is
available, the criminals will move on).
•• park in well lit areas
(Most criminals will
avoid well lit areas
when committing
these crimes).
•• and ALWAYS remove
your keys from vehicle,
a joy ride in a new
vehicle may be hard
for the criminal to
pass up.
If you see someone suspicious in your
neighbourhood, call
police immediately. Don’t
wait until the next day.
Working together we can
help keep our neighbourhoods safe. Police are
seeking the assistance
of the public in solving
these crimes. If you have
any information on these
or any crimes please
contact the Guysborough
RCMP at 902 533-3801
or Crime Stoppers.
We wish to express our sincere sympathy to Janice Christie and her family on
the death of her brother Greg Henley.

an actual, honest-to-goodness, handwritten, thank
you letter for my having
expressed that opinion.
Mary, from the Sherbrooke region, appreciated my thoughts and
agreed that she and
her husband share very
similar opinions about not
being “into electronics”.
To receive an acknowledgment that another has
read my views is always
a welcomed recognition;
however, when a reader
such as Mary takes the
time to put her feelings
to paper and then goes
to the chore and expense
of mailing her words, that
is something that I am
happy to acknowledge.
In this day and age
of texting, emails and
the demise of cursive
writing, thank you letters
are becoming a forgotten
courtesy. For reasons unknown to me, the practice
of expressing a thank you
via written-in-real-words
correspondence that are
constructed into actual
sentences is becoming a
lost form of etiquette.
Referring back to
Mary’s letter, I say to
her: Thank you Mary for
reading my column and
especially for your effort
to send me your thoughts.
Cutler’s Brook subdivision: A tip of my hat
to the MODG for this
progressive housing initiative. I had heard some
community chatter about
this proposed subdivision
and was pleased to read
about some of the details
in the Guysborough Journal (June 17).
Barry Carroll, CAO,
MODG, was referenced
within the feature as
stating that this project
“will be proceeding on a
small scale to address
an ongoing shortage of
serviced building lots in
the Guysborough area.”
With the cautionary
establishment of 10 of
the illustrated 45 lots,
as shown in the Guysborough Journal copy of an
artist’s rendition of the
Cutler’s Brooks Estates,
the MODG is advancing
with due diligence for
its latest development
undertaking. Such a progressive endeavour bodes
well for both the present
and future needs of the
Guysborough Municipality.
Available and serviced
lots offer more choices
than if prospective home
owners have only the options of seeking available
structures to purchase.
One could express
an opinion about the
MODG establishing such
a subdivision by stating
that there are already
houses for sale within the
Guysborough region. Such
a thought is factual; however, not all home owners
want to or are comfortable with acquiring structures of older designs and
living in areas that do not
suit their job demands,
life styles or current family
needs.
Debris, garbage and
litter: It is time for my annual rant. As my brother
frequently states: “Ain’t
no way that stuff is just
appearing; it’s being put
there.”
It is one thing to be
traveling within a vehicle
and to see some debris
along our roadways; how-

ever, if people go on foot
along those same routes
they should be prepared
to be disgusted at all that
is evident within the ditches and off of our highways. If individuals take a
walk around their neighbourhoods they will likely
find evidence of trash that
originated via someone’s
lack of concern.
I am not pointing a
finger at fast food outlets, coffee shops, lottery
ticket sellers, plastic
container manufacturers,
liquor companies, and my
list could continue; it’s the
humans who are leaving
such material as litter
that I criticize.
Too often I witness
“stuff” blowing out of the
backs of trucks and just
shake my head at such
a lack of consideration.
I then team that action
of uncaring with those
people who toss “stuff”
out of their vehicles or
drop trash while they are
on foot.
I applaud endeavours
such as the RBC’s Blue
Waters Run Deep initiative
to promote water preservation through numerous
undertaking such as via
local encouragements to
clear garbage from general areas that hinder storm
drains.
To move that project’s
mission statement back
a step, I question how
the water flow hindrance
materials initially became
garbage. To again reference my brother: “Ain’t
no way that stuff is just
appearing; it’s being put
there.”
The appearance of
trash stage is one step
too far; we all need to
contribute our efforts to
eliminate its existence.
I am not being naïve in
believing that all areas
will forever remain pristine
but surely individuals can
make an effort to ensure
that trash goes where it
belongs.
People can also
accept the harsh reality
that some individuals
simply do not care; such
is the way of the world.
When confronted with
the harmful and unsightly
acts of those thoughtless
litter bugs, we need to grit
our teeth and contribute
our personal efforts keep
our areas as litter-free as
possible.
I do believe that after
garbage appears, people
are more inclined to add
to its accumulation. It is
imperative that we assist
with some of our energies
to eliminate environmentally harmful waste that is
not “just appearing”.

SULLIVAN, Linda Faye
(59) died on Wednesday,
June 17, 2015 in her beloved home overlooking
the Milford Haven River
at North Riverside, Guysborough County. Born in
Pictou on May 13, 1956
Linda was the daughter
of the late John H. and
Dorothy (Downs) MacIntosh. A graduate of St.
Francis Xavier University
with BA Honours (Mathematics/Minor English), B.
Ed. (Secondary), M. Ed.
(Administration) as well
as an M. Ed. from Saint
Mary’s University (Curriculum Design). It was while
attending StFX that Linda
met her soul mate and
life-long best friend John
F. (Jackie) Sullivan. They
were married on June 28,
1980 at the University
Chapel on the campus
of St. Francis Xavier
University. Linda was
both a gifted and talented educator. She began
her teaching career in
Atikameg, AB before returning to her native Nova
Scotia where she taught
at Canso High School
and Fanning Elementary
School. Linda was an
exceptional educational
leader having served as
principal of numerous
schools both in Nova
Scotia and Manitoba. Linda was particularly proud
of bringing to fruition the
vision for Chedabucto
Place in Guysborough
while serving as principal of the Guysborough
Family of Schools. The
inclusion of an African
Canadian Heritage Centre
and a fitness centre, as
well as a space for a
performing arts theatre,
was both her passion and
mission toward creating a
centre of excellence that
embraced academics,
athletics and the arts
and welcomed the broader community to participate as lifelong learners.
Linda served as principal of Edward Schreyer
School in Beausjour, MB
and superintendent/
CEO of Western School
Division in Morden, MB.
Her last assignment prior
to becoming ill was as
principal of Lt. Col. William Barker VC School in
Dauphin, MB. She was a
passionate advocate for
young women pursuing
positions of leadership
and was an inspiration
and mentor to numerous
young women pursuing
such opportunities. Linda
loved her family unconditionally and her family
loved her; a wonderful
mother, dedicated wife,
a passionate life-long
learner, a fitness geek
and an exceptional
knitter (she produced 15
beautiful sweaters for
her cherished friends and
family since January until
her health deteriorated
and she was unable to
continue). Her work ethic
was legendary, and her
Send your memoriams to:
expectation for every
student to become the
best they could be was
non-negotiable. Linda
was a consummate Scottish bagpiper and was a
member of several pipe
bands; most notably the
Heatherbells from Pictou,
where she was pipe
major and made many
lifetime friendships. She
put her heart and soul in
everything she did and
could always be counted
on to get the job done
and get it done right.
Linda is survived by her
best friend and husband
“Jack”, sons Donald,
Paddy (Shirley), Conor
(Beckie) all of Calgary,
AB; a daughter Meaghan
(Ryder) and her handsome little man “Ryland”,
Dauphin, MB; her mother
Dorothy MacIntosh, Lyons
Brook; twin brother Larry
(Wendy), Cole Harbour;
her extended “Sullivan”
family Kay, Sebring,
Florida; Alfred (Phemia),
Dartmouth; Donnie (Shirley) Ottawa/Lahave; Hugh
James (Monica) Antigonish; Gillis (Minnie), Roman Valley; Mary (Harry)
Halifax; Anne, Halifax;
Cameron (Sandra) Truro;
Brenda (Doug), Lochaber;
Patricia (Lloyd) Guysbor-
ough; Helen (Donnie)
Antigonish, in addition
to numerous in-laws,
nieces, nephews, aunts
and uncles. Predeceased
by her father John H.
(Jack) MacIntosh, paternal grandparents James
(Blanche Pushee) MacIntosh, Charles (Henrietta
Blair) Downs, father and
mother-in-law Donald
(Sadie Gillis) Sullivan,
brothers-in-law Joseph
(Janet) Sullivan, Gerald
(Judy) Sullivan, Terry
O’Leary, Joseph DeRenzies and sister-in-law
Maureen (Ted) Larsen.
Donations may be made
to St. Patrick’s Cemetery
Fund. At a later date a
foundation will be set up
in Linda’s name and will
be committed to funding
opportunities for young
women pursuing leadership studies and for
the ongoing professional
development of women in
leadership roles. Funeral Mass was Saturday,
June 20 at St. Patrick’s
Roman Catholic Church
in Guysborough Intervale
with Reverend Anthony
O’Connor and Reverend
Danny MacLennan presiding. Burial in St. Patrick’s
Parish Cemetery, Guysborough Intervale.
