BILLieve til the end

Liberal incumbent Bill Horne wins re-election in a nail biter in Waverley-Fall RiverBeaver Bank by Pat Healey WAVERLEY: The BILLievers kept believing as they waited for the final poll to come in, confirming that their man, Liberal incumbent Bill Horne, had been re-elected. Horne and the thin crowd of supporters that remained at the Waverley Legion at 1:30 a.m.were packing up to head home, allowing the Legion to close up, when they took one last gaze at a reporter’s laptop and the Election Nova Scotia website. Excitement quickly filled the air as it showed the 39 and final poll result had been tabulated for the WaverleyFall River-Beaver Bank riding, giving Horne a nail biting 66-vote win over PC Candidate Dan McNaughton (3,161-3,095). Trevor Sanipass of the NDP was third with 1,567, while the Green Party’s Anthony Edmonds, the choice of students to win the riding, earned 507 votes. There were also 40 rejected ballots. “I’m very happy for our team, they’re the ones who have got me re-elected,” said Horne to The Laker. “Our team worked very hard to get me this election. The number of people on my team that had specialties, they were phenomenal.

“The congratulations should go to them, I’m just the candidate they did all the hard work.” Horne said the Liberals gaining a second straight majority mandate under Stephen McNeil shows Nova Scotians feel they are doing things right, even if some believe they aren’t. He spoke to media before learning the final outcome. “It shows that we’re going down the right track,” he said. “We’re running in the right direction to make a better, stronger Nova Scotia.” Compared to early estimates of voter turnout province-wide pegged at 43 per cent, there was 56 per cent of the 14,944 eligible voters cast a ballot in Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank. Earlier at the McNaughton headquarters, there was nervous excitement as their candidate led, before Horne nipped that gap down to eight and then took a 40-vote lead with three polls to go. The nervousness turned to worry that they would lose the riding. McNaughton was gracious in defeat, congratulating Horne on his efforts and win. “We ran a great campaign,” said McNaughton early in the wee hours of May 31. “I’m very proud of my team and

our volunteers for the effort they gave. We did all we could.” He said he respects the decision made by the constituents of Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank. “The voters have spoken,” he said. Will he consider running again for the PC Party? McNaughton said time will tell. “We’ll see what happens in four years time,” said McNaughton. In 2013, Horne won by close to 1,000 votes over PC candidate Brian Wong—who was McNaughton’s campaign manager this time around. Horne felt the teachers issue and his stance may have impacted the final vote tally. “I think it was due to the teachers and them wanting to play havoc in the government’s election,” he said before learning he was re-elected. The re-election campaign was the last one for the 70-year-old. He said he will not seek a third term when the next provincial election is held in presumably four years. “I promised my wife Pam I would only do two terms,” he said, “and I’m going to keep that promise.”

PC Johns elected in Sackville-Beaver Bank by Pat Healey BEAVER BANK: The former councillor for District 14 in HRM has earned election in his attempt at provincial politics. Brad Johns, who carried the PC banner in SackvilleBeaver Bank, handily defeated Liberal incumbent Stephen Gough, and will be one of 19 Tories to sit in the N.S. Legislature. Johns earned the win garnering 2,923 votes to Gough’s 2,155. Dennis Kutchera of the NDP was third at 1,332; Mike Montgomery of the Green Party had 231 votes, while Rita Billington of the Atlantica Party had just 66.

“I’m very glad that we won tonight,” said Johns on May 30. “I’m honoured and humbled that the residents of Sackville-Beaver Bank have decided to give me a chance, this time at the provincial level. “I’m excited to get to work.” He said he has some things he wants to see done, including advocating for more mental health services. “Whether it’s a Liberal government or PC government overall, I will certainly be pushing the agenda of mental health and trying to get more resources to kids in schools,” he said. “Hope to get back working soon making the community a better place.”

Dear friends, I am pleased to report that I had the opportunity to make a funding announcement at the AKOMA Family Resource Centre in Westphal. AKOMA does great work for the community by providing healthcare programs for youth and families and educating the community on civil rights. Through the Canada Infrastructure Program, I am happy to announce that AKOMA will receive $250,000 towards renovating the former Nova Scotia Home for Coloured Children into a community hub and recreation facility. I am proud that the federal government is contributing to this important initiative which will help build meaningful relationships between community members. In addition, I was pleased to attend two volunteer recognition nights in the month of April, one in Waverley and one in Sackville. According to Statistics Canada, roughly 44% of our population volunteers on a regular basis. Without the work of these dedicated individuals, many community events and projects would not be able to run. I was pleased to honour the many volunteers who are making a difference every day in our communities. Finally I would like to invite all of you to a Town Hall Meeting I am hosting on Healthcare next week. The meeting will take place at the Lake and Shore Community Recreation Centre in Porters Lake, from 7-9pm on

Water project delayed

3

Councillor blames fed’l government’s March 2018 deadline, high cost from tenders received by Pat Healey FALL RIVER: The Fall River water project is on hold. Councillor Steve Streatch is pointing to a tight deadline from the federal government—they have a March 2018 date—to have the project completed by and “substantially higher” than expected tender costs from companies who bid on the project for the delay. The tenders that were received came in at almost $3 million more than what the engineering consultants that Halifax Water had do the design work estimated. The first reading of the water extension boundary passed unanimously recently at regional council. Usually, that means the next step is to move into a public hearing. Not now. “I’m advising that the Fall River water project has been postponed, for the short term,” he said. “The tenders came in and they’re all substantially higher than what the engineers told us they should be, which bothers me. “Obviously, council put faith in the water commission. They in turn hired an engineering firm to give us a pretty accurate estimate as to what this project should cost when we went for public tender. That process was followed.” Streatch said a lot of hard questions will have to be asked of Halifax Water regarding the engineering firm’s large gap between their estimates and the tender costs. He said he has always been troubled by the timeline of the project. “I think the timeline, in this particular

case, is working against us, and it has had upward pressure on the bids that came in,” said Streatch on May 18. “They were all consistent and all came in about $3 million higher than what we originally anticipated.” Streatch said in discussions with staff they have asked to see if they can get an extension on the project deadline. He is meeting with Liberal MP Darrell Samson next week. “The first thing we need to do is go back to the federal government and ask for an extension, ask for a reprieve if you will as to the finish date of March 2018,” he said. “Any time you get into a situation like this where deadlines are in place and they are very short, you run the risk of falling prey to the old saying ‘haste makes waste.’ “I think in this case we need to take pause, and have a sober second look at exactly what we have here in front of us. We want to make sure, regardless of where the funding is coming from, that the projects we embark upon is not only the best project for the community, but is the best value for the taxpayers. Right now, what’s in front of me leaves me very uncomfortable.” He said most of the companies who tendered have already had their summer work lined up, so that had an adverse affect on prices along with the timeline for the large project. “We had great concern from some residents that we should be doing more of extending into Fall River Village. I’m open to that,” he said. “There really is nothing driving an urgent timeline other than the federal government funding timeline.”

Councillor Steve Streatch says the Fall River water project is on hold. (Healey photo) Streatch was asked what happens if the feds and Samson don’t grant the extension. “That will make it very difficult,” he said. “Preliminary indications, at least at the staff level, are that other projects are finding themselves in the same situation.” He said if the extension is not granted, and no further funding consideration comes from other levels of government, their hand will be forced.

“Either one of two things will need to happen,” said Streatch. “The scope of work will have to change to accommodate the money we have in place or the municipality will have to come up with another funding stream.” He is hoping residents can be patient as the process goes forward. “It’s not cancelled, it’s postponed and on hold,” he said. “It is in an effort to bring forward a better deal for the taxpayers.”

Extension for water project possible: Samson by Pat Healey

FALL RIVER: An extension of up to a year to the initial March 31, 2018 deadline for the Fall River water project is possible, says the MP for Sackville-PrestonChezzetcook. In an interview with The Laker on May 24, Darrell Samson said he has spoken with his fellow federal officials and confirmed an extension can be allowed, all that’s needed is a request from HRM through the province for it. “Because of the information I have been provided the last day or so, that the date would be difficult to meet,” said Samson in his Fall River office. “I’ve had some discussions with my federal counterparts in the Minister’s office about having an extension approved for this water project

that is so important and essential to Fall River. “The feedback that I got is that yes, it is possible to have an extension. There are certain steps and procedures that need to take place.” In a previous story, Councillor Steve Streatch indicated the tight timeline to get the water project in to meet the federal funding deadline was too tight and played a role in the tenders coming in almost $3 million over the estimated cost from Halifax Water engineers. Samson said the first step that has to be made is for Streatch and HRM to send a request to the federal government, through the province, asking for the extension. The request would have to have a motion at regional council before it can go to the feds;

Streatch is hoping to do this very shortly. “It’s not uncommon, as you can imagine, to have an extension on those types of projects because there’s many of them that were approved across Canada. They realize it’s not all possible to have they finished at a specific time. “In this case if it is their desire for an extension, then they just need to make the request to Municipal Affairs with the province, and in turn they would submit to us in Ottawa and we would make a decision based on my discussions. Ottawa would be very open to making this work.” If the extension was granted— as Samson expects it would be— the new deadline to have the project completed by would March 31, 2019.

THE LAKER EDITORIAL Depression – it needs to be talked about more by Pat Healey I have depression. It is one word, but so hard to say it without the fear of being stigmatized. I finally broke free of keeping what I was feeling inside after my colleagues recognized something wasn’t—and hadn’t been—right for some time with me. But I just never wanted to admit it until a stressful incident involving my mom was the final straw. I had been thinking of my dad who died some 19-years-ago for some time, not sleeping properly waking up in middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep, and to top it off actually had lost interest in my job, as the voice for your community as a reporter with The Weekly Press/The Laker. This has been going on for four to six months—maybe even longer. Shortly after I wrote a lengthy email to my editor telling her of how I had been feeling. She was there and continues to have my back as I seek treatment.

Since coming forward and admitting I wasn’t myself and seeking help, telling people about how I have been feeling and being around friends has been very beneficial in making me feel much better. The one thing I have got from telling people about this has been the same – that it, like many other mental health illnesses, needs to be talked about more, instead of kept inside. People like myself, who goes about his job daily putting on a smile, when really inside we were hurting and not ourselves. There are more people than we know who has some form of mental health illness, specifically depression, but fail to recognize it. They only do when it’s too late and no help can help them, and unfortunately they do harm to themselves resulting in far too often times death. And that’s where we need to focus and work at it. Since getting diagnosed, the only change that I have made is I am taking prescribed medication that is aimed to help me. I recognized I needed help and

finally sought it, after being nagged on—or pushed— by my colleague. I am ever thankful for that nagging, even if I don’t like them. My biggest fear in letting people know that I had been diagnosed with depression was the response that would come, expecting negative feedback more than positive. I was worried. I didn’t want to be treated differently than I have been because I was “sick”. But the positive responses I have received from telling people have been a welcome change. That’s why I feel it’s important to write this. To show people that even those you may not expect to have a mental illness, they do. That there is help out there for you. That you don’t have to deal with it alone. Unfortunately, for far too many it comes too late, and that is something we need to change. I hope me coming forward with my diagnosis can help someone else know that they too can do the same. Pat Healey

From the Firehouse (Healey photo)

From the Firehouse - April calls by Pat Healey BEAVER BANK: There were 64 calls for services paged out to volunteer firefighters in the Fall River, Waverley, Wellington, Grand Lake, and Beaver Bank area during the month of April. That number was led by 22 calls to Station 41 (Waverley), followed by Station 45 (Fall River) with 13. At Station 41, seven of their calls they were cancelled on scene, while they were called out for four illegal burns. There was also five medical assists; two medical - assist EHS; while they responded to one motor vehicle collision; one brush, grass fire; one appliance fire;and had one services not required call. Station 42 (Wellington) responded to seven calls in the month of April, led by two medical assists and two medical- assist EHS calls. They also were paged out for one chimney fire; one investigation call; and had one cancelled on scene call.

For Station 43 (Grand Lake) they had four calls, with one of each for a rail fire; brush/grass fire; a motor vehicle collision; and a medical assist. Station 45 responded to 13 calls, led by nine medical assists. They also had two motor vehicle collision calls; one services not required call; and one structure fire. This station is a career station manned Monday to Friday by career volunteer firefighters from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. For Station 47 (Goffs) they were called out for eight service requests, led by three motor vehicle collisions. They also had calls for one fire alarm activation; one industrial accident; one insufficient data call; one cancelled on scene call; and one services not required call. Station 48 in Beaver Bank had 10 calls during the month of April serving the residents of their community. This included six medical assists; one open garbage fire call; two brush/grass fires; and one medical - assist EHS call.

During the month-long election campaign it seemed that all three parties had no time to clean up messes. That’s probably why all three major parties released, or had a candidate resign after blunders on social media were exposed. Candidates and politicians should be held to a higher esteem, they’re who represent us, our values and morals, and each one is the goose making decisions for the gander. However, I think for at least one of the candidates, dismissal was a step too far when a simple apology would have sufficed. The problem with a short campaign is that it makes cleaning even small messes impossible. There is one instance where I do agree with the party policy however. Jad Crnogorac, PC candidate for Dartmouth South had tweeted jokes about how female Viagra is a “roofie.” That, to me went well over the line. Even as someone who considers themselves to have a dark sense of humour, I would hope I would know the statements I make will always be online. Even if deleted, you’ll never know if someone took a screen shot, and who they showed it to. The safest policy is to not put it out there. I know it’s incredibly easy to send out a tweet or publish a status complaining about an experience, something you find funny, or to vent frus-

tration about something that’s happened. I’m not above it myself. However, in today’s world we need to exercise caution. Something that might not offend someone in your immediate circle of friends can travel much further than the intended audience. But in saying that, I also think that dismissing people for small lapse in judgments holds candidates to too high of an esteem. Every single one of us has had lapses in judgment and an apology which shows understanding in the wrong doing should be enough to clear a person’s name. We will never have people capable of running for public office. The fact that they’re human, have real lives, make mistakes, mis-speak, mis-step, and own up to those shortcomings are commendable traits. Enough to make them my choice for representatives. So while remembering there are certain lines that should never be crossed, remember that putting your name in the ring for public office is scary, and a daunting task for anyone. I would like to thank all candidates in Waverley-Fall RiverBeaver Bank for running clean campaigns over the last 30 days. Be sure to check out www. thelaker.ca for full election coverage.

Fuel spill spurs concern from NSE

5

Firefighters respond to call; contain what they can from spill by Pat Healey FLETCHERS LAKE: More than 900 litres of diesel fuel is estimated to have leaked into a stream that feeds Lake Fletcher during a fuel spill on May 18. Firefighters from Station 42 (Wellington) and Station 45 (Fall River) were paged out for a smell of fuel in the area of the Schwarzwald Heights subdivision. The fuel smell was located as coming from a residence on Laura Court, and had leaked into the ditch system and down the stream into Lake Fletcher. According to a firefighter on scene, the smell was first detected about 3 p.m. by a passing motorist who didn’t think anything more of it. Fire crews were only called at about 10:30 p.m. The spill has prompted a warning from Nova Scotia Environment (NSE) to area residents. “People who draw water from the lake are advised to watch for an oily sheen and distinct odour,” said NSE spokeswoman Krista Higdon. “If present, they should avoid using the water. Boiling the water will not make it safe to drink. She added that people with properties on municipal water supply can continue to drink their water. Higdon explained NSE’s response to incidents of this type is twofold: to ensure that the appropriate people are responding to initiate assessment and cleanup; and to assess the potential impacts to public health and environment. “We were aware that containment efforts were being undertaken throughout the night,” said Higdon. “NSE staff worked throughout the night to identify and make contact with the responsible parties to ensure they contacted their insurance company to initiate a clean-up. “ That contact was made at about 5:30 a.m., at which time the property owner told NSE they advised their insurance company of the emergency. Lake Fletcher services Ash Lee Jefferson, the Grand Lake water protection area, Lockview High, and residents along the lake. Halifax Water shut down their intake for their Collins Park plant upon being notified of the incident. Halifax Water spokesman James Campbell said the fuel spill did not impact those residence serviced by their Collins Park plant. “We’re sampling our water there and it is clean,” he said on May 19. He said crews from the company responded to the scene, even though it’s not something they usually look after. “We responded to the scene even though it’s outside our jurisdiction, and vacuumed up as much of the surface water as we could,” said Campbell. “We have no role in these, but we were contacted so we responded. HRM spokesman Brendan Elliott, speaking on behalf of Halifax Fire, said the firefighters role was to do the best they could to contain the oil and ensure it didn’t spread. “We did that in this case,” he said May 19. “Part of our protocol is to also inform other agencies of the leak so they can then respond appropriately. We did that by contacting both Halifax Water and the provincial Environment Department. Higdon said NSE staff were on site and had made contact with partners affected. “We are in contact with Halifax Water, the Municipality of East Hants, and other partners and work is happening to contain the spill,” she said. RCMP also responded to the call, but it was determined to not be anything criminal.

Election 17: Students excited to see their vote results Holland Road School among three local schools partaking in StudentVote for provincial election by Pat Healey FLETCHERS LAKE: StudentVote helps learning the process behind voting and why it’s important. Students at Holland Road Elementary School are learning the democratic process. The students spoke about getting the opportunity to participate and what they hope to learn from the experience for their future years when they become age eligible to vote. “I think it’s really cool they’re letting students do it so when they’re older they know how to vote and therefore know why they should vote,” said Darby Gibbon of Wellington. Ellen Rudderham said it’s a good chance to learn what all needs to go into making the right decision when you’re older. “You have to wait til you’re 18 to vote, but you can know why and the process behind it through this,” she said. She said it’s important people know how to vote before their older. “It’s important because if you learn how to do it now, you’ll be able to do it better when you’re older,” said Rudderham. Gibbon said voting at this young age will help them not be undecided when the time comes for them to cast their ballots. “I think it’s cool we get to participate in the voting for our government and learn all about it,” said Gibbon. She said she was excited to see what the final outcome—students versus real-life. “I’m excited to see who is picked as the winner by the students,” she said. “I think it will be neat to see the choices amongst the students who they want as a provincial government,” said Tyler Presley. Rudderham said she hopes to learn the voting process and the platform of the candidates. “I hope to learn about what I want to see

in a person and their platforms are,” she said. Sienna Jones, who lives in Fall River, said she wants to learn about government so in the future she won’t have a lot of questions when she goes to the real-life polls. “I will have this experience for knowledge so I will know what to do,” she said. Teachers Nicole LeGrow and Patricia Sangster feels StudentVote adds to the educational value, especially during an election year. “With young voters the voting turnout has been real low, so I think it’s important that we teach them while their young so when they turn 18 and are eligible to vote they understand how the process works and how their vote really does make a difference,” said LeGrow. “I think their level of involvement for the future will increase by having a background like this and they can form opinions of the candidates,” added Sangster. “We all learn what their platforms are and we’ve been reading the media different articles. “The kids are learning a lot, and I think that’s important.” Instead of just knowing a guy from seeing a sign, the students are digging a little deeper into that face on the sign at the corner, said LeGrow. “They’re learning why they are seeing the signs, why their parents are talking about it,” she said. “Any time we can connect learning to real life and make it as meaningful as possible, then it’s beneficial.” Results from Holland Road’s StudentVote, along with other schools participating, will be released after polls close in N.S. on May 30 at 8 p.m. Look for a followup story after polls close on who the students at G.P. Vanier, Oldfield Consolidated, and Holland Road chose to represent them as their provincial government

Streatch feels HRM owning McDonald Sports Park best bet by Pat Healey WAVERLEY: The local councillor feels the best bet for long-term success of McDonald Sports Park is for HRM to take it over. Steve Streatch said the park is on provincially owned land, it is offering services HRM recreation does. He pointed out a meeting he had with a representative from

the Waverley Amateur Athletic Association (WAAA) volunteer board on May 18. “As you may that is a provincial park, albeit providing HRM mandated services as it relates to recreation,” he said. “It makes it very difficult when that land is owned by the province and the mandate that is being asked to fulfill is municipal. “We’re looking at options. Those could include a long-

term lease, a trade with the province, or an outright purchase.” He believes there’s one option that would make the most sense. “I believe that park, for its long-term success, should be with the municipality and we, as the level of government providing recreation, should be doing so at that location,” said Streatch.

Cheema athletes on Canadian team radar Marshall Hughes, Michelle Russell and Craig Spence selected to World Cup team by Pat Healey WAVERLEY: Three athletes from Waverley-based Cheema have made the first step towards making the Canadian national team after a recent competition. Marshall Hughes, Michelle Russell, Craig Spence, Sawyer Capes, Shaun Fair, Samantha Hall, Tom Hall, Cameron Ledrew, Andrew Pickrem, Peter Korisanscky, Kingston Morrissey, and Hunter Morrissey were all at the recently held first national team trials in Montreal. Russell brought home gold medals in 200 metre and 500 metre women’s kayak races; Hughes took first in 500 metre men’s kayak and second in men’s kayak 1,000 metres; Spence earned gold in men’s 1,000 metre canoe. Pickrem was seventh in men’s kayak 200 metre; Korisanscky was seventh in men’s canoe 1,000 metre; Hunter Morrissey was eighth in men’s kayak 1,000 metre followed by Kingston Morrissey in ninth in men’s kayak 1,000 metre. Hughes, Russell, and Spence were all selected for their respective events to the Canadian team competing at the World Cup competition in Szeged, Hungary May 26-28 and Begrade, Serbia on June 2-4. The second set of national team trials will be held at Lake Banook in Dartmouth from June 23-25. That competition will count towards being named to the national team.

Heritage Museum gets support

Francis, Boyd listed on Q draft list

QMJHL Draft scheduled for June 3 in Saint John, N.B. by Pat Healey BEAVER BANK: Two local hockey prospects from the Beaver Bank and Fall River area find themselves on the Central Scouting List for QMJHL draft eligible players. Forward Ryan Francis and goaltender Nolan Boyd, both students at Lockview High, are among the prospects the 18 teams in the QMJHL can choose from—or go off the board—and choose during the 12-round draft, set for June 3 in Saint John. Francis, who suited up with the Cole Harbour Wolfpack, is ranked to go in the fourth round of the draft, while Boyd, who backstopped the Steele Subaru’s to a second place finish, losing to eventual TELUS Cup champion Cape Breton West Islanders, is projected to

go between rounds six and eight. As learned in past years, just because a player is on the list doesn’t guarantee they will be drafted, or they will be taken where the scouts with QMJHL Central Scouting projected they would go. At last year’s draft, Andrew Coxhead of Fall River was projected to go in the top bit, but fell down before being selected by the Quebec Remparts after they made a trade for the pick they took him with. Francis has had a great season, and continued that with Team N.S. at the GATORADE Excellence Challenge Cup, as did Boyd. N.S. came home in fifth place, playing a lot of close games. At the Challenge, Francis tallied two goals and 10 points in five games, finishing fourth in scoring for the tournament.

The Waverley Heritage Museum has received generous support from Councillor Steve Streatch for capital upgrades to the museum and town hall in Waverley. Following the Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank Volunteer Recognition Awards Streatch presented Kevin O’Halloran and Paul Hudson with a cheque for $5,000 for the work. (Healey photo)

Math is no challenge for young girl

June 2017

Holland Road School student making name for herself at match competitions by Pat Healey FLETCHERS LAKE: Need a math question answered, just ask Maria Mihai she will likely know the answer without hesitation. Mihai, a Grade 4 student at Holland Road Elementary School in Fletchers Lake, has math and all of it’s aptitudes on her brain 24/7. That’s helping her excel in a subject most would find troublesome. Not Mihai, she’s

found herself on the winners or honor roll for several national competitions. She took home first place in the Caribou math test, topping children from Ontario and a school in Beijing, China; Beestar National Spring math competition; and an honour roll mention at the Kangaroo Mtah competition, not to mention heading up the math club at the school. “The inspiration for me to do this is the rewards and seeing my family happy,” said the tiny Mihai inside a classroom at the school on May 23. “What excites me is seeing the different type of math, the different contests that will challenge me. Mihai does a lot of the math contests in the mornings in the office shortly after arriving at school each day. The kids at Holland Road get excited when they see Mihai excited about her results, said Principal Roberta Jones “I guess they are,” said a smiling Mihai. She knows her family gets excited about her math results.

Why does she think everyone gets excited for her? “I think it might be because I go to all these contests when I’m in Grade 4, and some of them are above Grade 4,” she said. Mihai said she’s not sure where she can use the math she’s learning. “It’s always useful to just have it just in case,” said Mihai. “If you need to know how much water you need to buy in case the electricity went out for a long period.” She has started a math club at the school. “I think it’s a good thing as it gives others my age and younger a chance to learn things like this,” she said. “It makes them feel good about themselves, which I like hearing.” Mihai doesn’t have far to look for her love for math— her grandmother was university math teacher in Romania; her mom likes math; her dad works with computers so he needs to know math. “Math is everywhere,” said Mihai. “Sometimes me an my grandmother will Skype and she will geometry with me for like an hour.”

Donating books to local schools Fall River & Area Lions Club did some literacy deliveries to three schools on March 30. Here, Lion Tim Holt dropped off some books to the Grade Primary students at Waverley Memorial School. Accepting the books is teacher Anita Ross. Holt also delivered books to Ash Lee Jefferson Elementary School in Fall River and Holland Road Elementary School in Fletchers Lake. (Healey photo)

LAKEVIEW, WINDSOR JUNCTION, FALL RIVER VOCAL: Voices of Canadians About Lyme Recent media reports have indicated that we are slated to have an increased tick population in Canada this year – somewhat morbidly fitting given that May was Lyme Disease Awareness Month. Media outlets are quite good at warning people of the dangers of tick bites and Lyme disease. However they are ultimately only talking about acute Lyme disease, not the chronic variant that so many people are afflicted by.

RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Monday, June 19th, 2017 at 7 PM

Quick definitions:

LWF Community Hall 843 Fall River Road, Fall River, Nova Scotia

Acute Lyme = flu-like symptoms, joint pain, bullseye rash…everything gets better with two weeks of low dose antibiotics and/or equivalent anti-infectious herbs. Chronic Lyme = chronic pain (joints, muscles and/or nerves), fatigue, headaches, neurological symptoms, rashes, itching, abnormal heart rate and breathing…and some patients have far more than that. Short-term anti-infectious therapy often does nothing for this and patients commonly need treatment for months or years to get better (and are often misdiagnosed or told “it’s all in your head” for months or years before finding a Lyme-literate clinician). Saturday, June 3rd at Ondaajte Theatre (Dalhousie Campus) from 12:00-17:00, VOCAL is hosting a series of lectures about issues related to chronic Lyme disease. A list of speakers can be found on the Lyme Disease in Nova Scotia & the Atlantic Provinces Facebook page. As one of the

DR. BRYAN RADE, ND presenters, I will discuss my seven year history of specializing in treating chronic Lyme and coinfections with a specific focus on studies that have been done on the naturopathic treatments that we utilize. I will also discuss common pitfalls that I have seen where patients have either plateaued with their treatment or they have not responded to standard Lyme treatment in the first place. Admission is on a donation basis and all are welcome to attend.

Dr. Rade is a licensed naturopathic doctor practicing at the East Coast Naturopathic Clinic (30 Damascus Rd, Bedford). He can be contacted at 902.252.3080 or via his website at www.eastcoastnaturopathic.com.
