PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING
BLOCKHOUSE
Proposed Amendments.
“Restricted Developments” in the Blockhouse Plan Area.
The Municipality’s Planning & Development Services will be
conducting a Public Information Meeting on Tuesday October
7th, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. at the Blockhouse Fire Hall, 510 Highway
#325, Blockhouse.
Municipal planning staff will present proposed amendments to
the Blockhouse Planning Strategy & Land Use By-law that would
alter existing requirements that allow for identified “Restricted
Developments” to be permitted in the Blockhouse Plan Area,
by way of Development Agreement. Proposed policy changes
would introduce the idea of certain uses being prohibited from the
Blockhouse Plan Area, and other identified uses being required to
meet additional setback requirements.
This amendment was discussed at a local Blockhouse Area
Advisory Committee meeting on August 12, and at the Municipality’s Planning Advisory Committee meeting on August 28th.
Both Committees have recommended that a Public Information
Meeting be held in the community, to solicit possible public input,
before further consideration by Council. The purpose of the October 7th meeting is to present information, and will not involve any
final decision.
For further information, contact Douglas Reid, Planner at (902)
530-3480, or by e-mail: [email protected]. For a copy of related
reports, including a copy of proposed amendments identifying the
types of land uses discussed in previous meetings, please see the

Dog walking behaviours studied
I
t probably won’t surprise most
dog owners that dogs tend to
be more aggressive when on a
leash and/or when being walked
by a male.
A study from Mendel University
in the Czech Republic looked at
more than 1,800 interactions between dogs during their walks. The
researchers cataloged the effects of
age, sex, size and who was walking
the dog.
It was determined that dogs
in general are friendlier when a
woman is holding the leash. Dogs
were four times more
likely to bite or attack other dogs when
walked by men. Dogs
are skilled at interpreting human social
and communication
behaviours and it is thought that
the male walkers are more likely
to use strength to control their pet
whereas women walkers rely more
on training techniques. The dogs
may mimic the control style of
their walker.
It was also found that leashed
dogs were twice as likely to threaten another dog as ones off-leash
did. Dogs like to run around each
other and give each other a good
sniff when they meet. The leash
stifles this ability and researchers believe this makes the dog feel
frustrated and threatened, which
results in the aggression. This behaviour can be observed daily at
your local beach or park. Dogs on
leashes when passing each other
are likely to bark and lunge. Those
who are off leash will more likely
circle each other, sniff and either
walk away or start to play.
The aggressive behaviours of
dogs on leash are also evident in
dogs that are crated or behind
a fence. They are more likely to
bark and growl when they are confined. Being confined or leashed
takes away their ability to choose
between fight or flight. Dogs and
many other animals, including humans, can become fearful and hostile when they do not have control
over their own decisions.
Unsurprisingly, male dogs preferred sniffing female dogs. Dogs
threatened same-gender dogs almost three times as often, and bit
them over five times as often as
opposite sex dogs. The study found
that female canines enjoyed playing with both sexes but that male
dogs prefer to play with females.
This makes sense say
the researchers, because females rear the
puppies and play is
part of her nurturing
technique. Therefore,
instinctively, female
dogs are more genetically predisposed to not discriminate between
genders. Puppies were also found
to be more playful with each other
than older dogs, especially senior
ones.
During a study at the University of Missouri, walking was also
found to be important for dogs’
overall behaviour. Dogs in a shelter
were randomly selected for five
walks a week by elderly volunteers
while the control group was left
in their kennels. Impressively, 75
per cent of the walked dogs were
adopted into permanent homes vs.
35 per cent of those not walked.
The walked dogs were calmer and
friendlier and their walkers realized improved fitness.
Be aware of your style when
walking your dog and you may find
it positively affects your dog’s behaviour, but remember to observe
leash regulations too.

Reality Check:
An encouraging word
The act of offering sincere encouragement can be as satisfying for you as it is helpful for the person being encouraged.
Encouragement feels good. Encouragement can be motivational. Encouragement can be the key to a win-win in many
areas of life, whether it’s work, school, or family.
With all those positive effects, encouragement is a useful
skill to develop.
You’ll notice that I said, “skill to develop.” Doesn’t everyone
know what encouragement is and how to
give it? Surprisingly not.
Have you ever offered encouragement to someone, only to be informed
that they don’t need your help, thank
you very much? Or come away feeling
that your encouraging words were perceived as condescending, or were met
with anger, resentment, or simply not
appreciated?
Why do some folks respond negatively
to encouragement? After all, you are
only trying to help them. Take a look at
this example: Do you see any possibilities for why this encouragement might
not be effective?
Reality Check
Maurice has tried to encourage his
son to take a more active role in sports.
Maurice says, “I tell him all the time,
‘Get out there. You can do it! You can do
it!,’ but he doesn’t try. He gets discouraged and walks away. His
favourite saying seems to be, ‘No, I can’t.’”
Why might Maurice’s encouragement not be working as he
hoped?
First, for any encouragement to be effective, it’s important
that the person want, for themselves, whatever they are being
encouraged to do.
A good question for Maurice’s son is, “Do you want to be
more involved in sports?”
Listen carefully to the answer. Many children (and grownups) have a highly developed skill of telling people what they
think you want to hear. If that’s been the norm in your relationship, and if you now really want to hear the truth, you will
need to listen closely, keeping your judgments and opinions to
yourself.
Second, can Maurice’s son, in fact, do it? If you don’t have a
skill, then no amount of chanting, “I can do it, I can do it,” will
make it true. If the son wants to develop skills, then a more
encouraging act for Maurice would be to find ways to make
that happen, such as through extra practice, improved coaching and so on.
Working on the skill itself, especially if Maurice works with
him, can be much more encouraging than enthusiastic words
which are essentially no more than wishful thinking.
One characteristic of effective encouragement is honesty.

A delicious idea
I
t was one year ago that I went to the
Nova Scotia Community College —
Lunenburg Campus, where all of the
South Shore was invited and people were
asked, “What will you do to chart our
own course as we, as a region, navigate
our ship into uncharted waters?” That
was a challenge set out by us at Lighthouse Media Group, and all community
newspapers, who funded and founded the
Georgetown Conference in an attempt
to redefine and revitalize rural Atlantic
Canada.
I was sitting in the audience after
learning about more than a dozen good
ideas which were generated by community members in café-style discussions.
A woman stood up and announced her
table came up with the idea of initiating a squash
festival in Bridgewater as a way to bring people to
the area to showcase the produce (not the sport), a
resource we grow plentifully, but that isn’t as sexy
as, say, the strawberry.
As the tables were announcing their ideas, this
enthusiastic, fearless woman convinced a room full
of people that, in less than a years time, she and a
feisty bunch of local food enthusiasts would pull
this off.
Pull it off they did, as this past weekend, everywhere I turned, squash in every shape and colour
were on display in and around Bridgewater. The savory vegetable was served up in ice cream, wrapped
in bacon, in dog treats, and even in soap. It was so
much fun to be a part of this event, but perhaps
even more impressive was seeing this
evolve from a nugget of an idea into
something fantastic.
Call it a crush if you wish, but I am a
fan of Elspeth McLean Wile.
It was Elspeth’s team who brought
this about, and while for the most part it
was held at her farm market in Wileville,
she brought in partnerships such as
Cilantro — a very cool kitchen supply
store in the area — she invited talented
local chefs and helped cross-promote the
Afterglow Festival. People might have
gone to Wile’s Lake Farm Market for the
delicious samples and some of their date
squares, but I bumped into a Squashtastic goer at the drug store, and also at
Frenchy’s later that afternoon.
These opportunities benefit us all, and we need
more of them. We need more ideas large and small.
We need more Elspeth McLean Wiles; people to
stand up like she did that day 10 months ago in a
room full of other people and say, “This is what I’m
prepared to do. I’m going to take a risk, and work a
little harder, and we’re going to do this.”
One thing that I’m sure Elspeth would say is that
she didn’t do this alone. Lots of people stepped up
to help, and I suspect if I, or any of you for that
matter, took a leap of faith, there would be people to
stand behind us. This weekend inspired me to take
a risk and put myself out there.
But not today.
I have a squash strudel to make.
