“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”

Canada’s veterans proudly participate in the 2015 Santa Claus parade—remember to wear your poppy in support of those who were lost until November 11

Sammy says

I’m so excited! I received a message from the North Pole that Santa will once again be stopping by to visit the children of Sambro at SACA’s an-

nual children’s Christmas party on Saturday, December 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Details are still being worked out but plans include lunch, a visit and photo with Santa, decorating festive treats and art. Parents can rest assured that all food items will be peanut free and the cost is just $5 per child. Preschool aged children may stay with their parent or guardian, while elementary school aged children may be dropped off and picked up at the end of the party. At this festive time of year and in the spirit of giving to those in need, voluntary donations of non-perishable food items will be collected for the Food Bank at the St. Paul’s Family Resource Centre. Many hands make light work, and

volunteers are needed in order to ensure all the planned activities can run smoothly. If you’re able to help out, please contact SACA at [email protected] or call 902-868-2553.

Spryfield Market adventures submitted by the Spryfield Community Market Society This month, it is worth the trip to stock up on the local bounty of fruits and vegetables available at the Spryfield Market. It is a great time to find produce that will store well for the cold months ahead! There is still lots of fresh produce available in this growing year, all from our Farmer’s carefully tended fields and green-

houses. At this past Sunday morning Market in October, I had a great education on apples from our own “Johnny Appleseed” at the Valley Millworks’ table. He shared some fascinating apple lore. He also told me that the local apples at the Market, like Gravensteins and Ginger Golds, are the ripest crop available – fresh off the trees. (See Market on page 2)

November 2016 • Chebucto News

Market (continued from page 1) Most Supermarket sourced apples are picked much earlier and sprayed to ripen quickly before sale, so the taste and quality is not the same! The best buy apple depends on your intended use: For big, firm, crisp, sweet eating apples, choose HoneyCrisp.  When you stop by our next Sunday Market, ask him about the origin of your favourite varieties. He is a wealth of home growing information, including advice about why the trees have to be propagated by proper cuttings. The farmers and vendors at our market are always friendly and worth the talk. Other seasonal food products I found included jams and pickles. Zoe’s table featured old-fashioned

Sauerkraut and Kimchi made from local ethically (spray free) grown vegetables. This homemade product is mildly fermented in brine, unpasteurized and rich in real live probiotics. That makes their products healthier and gentler for you than those pickles that are made with vinegar. The Market is also a great place to get bakery treats for the whole family. One of the best bargains? Delicious Rice-Krispie pops at Mrs. P’s, for $1.25 each.  I enjoyed one as I strolled around exploring the many things the market offers, including potential holiday gifts. I also picked up a wonderful pumpkin pie at the Cake Lady’s table to take home. A perfect suppertime dessert for the season. So, I hope to see you at one of the upcoming Markets: on October 30, November 13 and 27, or December 11!! We are open from 8:00 am to

Celebrating 90 years with Sylvia Sylvia (Gilkie) Schnare recently celebrated her 90th birthday in style with over 200 friends and family members stopping by. It was the first time in 20 years that every single one of her surviving descendants were in one place for group photos. Among Sylvia’s guests was Councillor Steve Adams who presented her with a framed scroll certificate as his first official act after being re-elected to District 11 the previous day. This is a special thank you to everyone that came out to celebrate my 90th birthday. Thank you to all that helped in any way. I will never forget the love and kindness shown to me. Sylvia Schnare, Sambro Creek, NS

Thank You! At the outset of this campaign, I dedicated it to Brian Dempsey and Bill Foley, two of the most decent men to walk the face of this earth. We lost them over the past 19 months, and they are still missed dearly. This win is for you both.

I couldn’t have done this without the aid and understanding of my wife, Colleen, and Alanah and Matt. My Mom and Dad, who are always there for me, helped out when they didn’t even know it. Whether it be an encouraging word or sage advice, I know I can always count on them. For those who displayed signs, offered their help and supported me at the debate and other community events, I am grateful. I can’t begin to express my appreciation for the assistance I have received over the past months during our campaign. I would like to thank all those who helped me during this election, and to those who supported Ms. Penney, as well. You exercised your democratic right and participated in the electoral process. I commend Dawn for her courage to offer for public office. To stand for election at any level takes a special person. To Skip Horton, Dan Welch and Eric Caines, thank you for your kind words on my brochure. To Suzanne Phillips, Joanne Greenslade, Lana Beaver and Mrs. Foley, I thank you for the calls you made. Thanks to Brendan Maguire for canvassing with me, and offering his help. Trish Jodrey co-ordinated our many volunteers and kept me organized. ForJoe Beaver and Kevin Hynes, 2 of my most trusted friends, your help and encouragement is immeasurable. I can’t thank you enough. The endless phone calls, worker co-ordination, planning and advice truly made a difference. I am at a loss to express my gratitude. Our entire campaign was a true team effort, and came about with friends and family working together. We all remained respectful of Ms. Penney and her supporters. And we always took the high road, because there is far less traffic there.

Discovering Our Past Monument honours First World War soldiers from Sambro by Iris V. Shea In recent months repairs were done to a very special monument in Sambro. This monument honours six men who died fighting in France during the First World War. All had ties to the Sambro community. Some of their descendants continue to live in the Sambro area. The monument, located behind Sambro Elementary School, is shown here in a photograph from 2005. The six names on the monument are Phillip L. Findley, Joseph Tough, Harold W.A. Smith, Clyde B. DeVille, Lester B. Young and Everett Marryatt. This memorial plaque is inscribed with the words: To the Glory of God. In loving memory of our fallen heroes. Their names liveth evermore. Information about these six veterans (plus many others from our local communities who were killed in action during the First World War) may be found online by searching for “First World War Book of Remembrance”. If you have family members who went overseas to fight in World War One, the Attestation Papers for them may be found online under the title search “Soldiers of the First World War”. More information about the six soldiers from Sambro was obtained from Nova Scotia Vital Statistics and census records online, as well as from their descendants. Philip Levi Findley died November 29, 1918 (Philip was spelled with one “l” in most records). He was born April 8, 1885 in Sambro, the son of Joseph Findley and Eleanor Gray. He married Julia B. Nickerson November 18, 1915, the daughter of George H. Nickerson and Charlotte Yeadon. Philip’s occupation at that time was Clergyman. He was part of the Canadian Army Medical Corp and was buried in Étaples Military Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France. Joseph Frank Sullivan Tough died October 8, 1916. He was born July 12, 1882, the son of Alexander Tough and Henrietta Smith of Sambro. Joseph’s surname was spelled Took in his marriage registration and Tooke in military records. He mar-

ried Elizabeth Miriam Gates March 8, 1906, the daughter of James Gates and Lucy Connors. As a Private in the Royal Canadian Regiment, his name is on the Vimy Memorial in France. Over 11,000 names of Canadian men are inscribed on the memorial, all of them missing in action in France and presumed dead. Harold Wilfred Allison Smith died in France June 14, 1917 at the age of 20 years. He was born in Sambro August 9, 1896, the son of John N. Smith and Flora Morash. He was a Private in the Canadian Infantry, Manitoba Regiment, 85th Battalion and was buried in Barlin Communal Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France. Clyde Burton Deville died in France October 4, 1918. His birth date varies in records, from 1893 to 1896, but his military records have his birth date as November 9, 1896 in Worcestershire, England.He was the son of Thomas Deville, a soldier from England,and Jessie Hamm of Sambro. Clyde lived in Sambro with his Hamm grandparents, Elkanah and Sophia, from an early age, and married Martha Elizabeth Young, daughter of Robert W. Young and Mary Elizabeth Gray of Sambro. One son survived him. Clyde was a Private in the Canadian Infantry, Quebec Regiment, 24th Battalion, and was buried in Bucquoy Road Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France. Lester Borden Young died in

France November 28, 1916, two days after his 20th birthday. He was born in Sambro November 26, 1896, the son of Robert W. Young and Mary Elizabeth Gray of Sambro. Like his brother-in-law, Clyde Burton Deville, Lester was a Private in the Canadian Infantry, Quebec Regiment, 14th Battalion. He was buried in Villers Station Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France. Everett Marryatt died at the Battle of Vimy Ridge in France August 15, 1917. His name appears on the Vimy Memorial in France as one of those Canadians who was missing in action

and presumed dead. Lance Corporal Marryatt seved in the Canadian Army Machine Gun Corps, 5th Company. He was born February 8, 1888 in Sambro, the son of William Marryatt and Susannah Smith. He married Margaret Hurley December 12, 1905. Everett left behind his wife and four children. Information about the Vimy Memorial may be found online by searching under the title “Vimy Memorial”. The land in France, referred to as “battlefield park” where the Vimy Memorial is located, was a gift from the country of France to the people of Canada. Construction began in 1925 and was unveiled on July 26, 1936 by King Edward VIII. The words inscribed on the Vimy Memorial are as follows: “To the Valour of their Countrymen in the Great War and in memory of their sixty thousand dead this Monument is raised by the people of Canada.” The park surrounding the Vimy Memorial was created by horticultural experts. Canadian trees and shrubs were planted in great masses to resemble the woods and forests of Canada. On April 3, 2003, the Government of Canada designated April 9th of each year as a national day of remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Michael William Carney 92, Spryfield, passed away at home on Monday October 17, 2016.  The only son of the late Dr. Michael James and Ellen Evelyn (Levis) Carney, Michael lived most of his life in Halifax, where he was an employee of the Bank of Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Light and Power, and subsequently Nova Scotia Power Corporation. At the time of his retirement in 1989, Michael was Manager of Computer Auditing.  Throughout his life, Michael was keenly interested in the pipe organ and classical music. He became an Associate of the Toronto Conservatory (organ) in 1948. A judge at his final exam in organ was the late Dr. Healey Willan, well known organist and composer, who described Michael’s music as “brilliant”. Michael delighted in improvising music. He earned his BA at St. Mary’s University in 1945 and became a Certified Management Accountant (now CPA) in 1968. He was for many years a member and officer of the Royal Canadian College of Organists (Halifax Centre) and was a member of the American Guild of Organists. Michael also found great satisfaction in working with MISA as an English instructor. Reading, language studies, walking, and public speaking were hobbies he enjoyed. Michael was an active member of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish for many years, where he began to play the organ for the children’s choir in 1937, and was in charge of the lectors. More recently, he was the organist at St. Michael’s Church in Halifax for 24 years. He served as organist at St. Mary’s Basilica during two different terms and acted as interim organist and choir director in other churches.  In 1998 he was presented with the Diocesan Medal of Merit in recognition of his work at St. Michaels. In November of 2012, he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, and received the Apostolic Blessing of Pope Benedict XVI for his many years of volunteer work at St. Michael’s. In 2013, Michael was honoured to receive a letter from St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal, stating that he had been made a member of the Major Associates of Saint Brother Andre. Michael is survived by his sisters, Joyce Dickey and Janet Carney, a niece, Mary Kathleen (Dickey) Williamson, Ottawa, ON, and nephews, Arthur Dickey, Toronto, Michael Dickey, Cohasset, MA, John Dickey, Ann Arbor, MI, Stephen Dickey, Halifax, and Gregory (Dickey) DePaco, New Westminster, BC, as well as 5 great-nephews, 5 great-nieces, and one great-great-niece.  He was predeceased by a sister, Anne “Nancy” Carney.

Ilsley’s Student Council trains at Bayside Camp by Ciara Harris From October 14th to 16th, 50 young people on JL Ilsley’s student council spent the weekend at Bayside Camp in Sambro. Students had great fun, playing games, dancing, and even taking a very cold swim in the lake, but the weekend was also designed to develop leadership skills and to plan for the future. Ilsley’s student council executive worked tirelessly with facilitator, Nicholas Down, to ensure

that participants had a memorable experience. There are five committees on Ilsley’s student council: External, Internal, Volunteerism, Events, and Sports and Clubs. At the Bayside retreat, students worked in their committees to plan activities for the rest of the school year. Some groups were planning fun events, such as dances and coffee houses, while other groups were working on Ilsley’s charitable

contributions to organizations such as World Vision and the Stephen Lewis foundation. The student council has events and activities planned for every week of this school year. It takes incredible organization and leadership to ensure that all of these events run well, and the students on council look to their co-presidents, Taryn Hanrahan and Kiara Sexton, to keep things running smoothly. A great deal of work was accomplished at this year’s Bayside retreat, but students also had a lot of fun. They would like to offer their profound appreciation to the staff of Bayside, who kept them warm and well-fed for the weekend.

Encourage participation in our Poster and Literary Contests! In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place: and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Take up our quarrel with the foe To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields

The Scratching Post by Sarah Fraser Please send questions or comments to: [email protected] The History of Cats - Part 2 In part one we established how cats became loving, furry family members by proving their usefulness and pest control, and with their ease of Domesticity. Cats were found to be a helpful species to have around mankind and therefore their habitation and procreation was fostered by people living in ancient times. It has long been thought that the first Americans to migrate to North America came via the Land Bridge, which is now the Bering Strait. The land bridge theory is that the frozen land between Siberia and Alaska provided an opportunity for animal herds to move away from where they were being hunted in Asia to a whole new continent between fourteen and twenty thousand years ago. People at that time were Nomadic and followed herds of animals wherever they went. Cats, having developed a relationship with humans, followed suit and also

may have crossed the land bridge into North America.  Although Feline DNA evidence has proven this theory, there are still paths of DNA that are charted from Europe directly to the Americas. This, of course, is easily done in this day and age where booking a first class seat for your pet to travel internationally is not particularly unusual. In actuality, the first cats to travel across the Atlantic Ocean did so probably by booking passage with the Vikings. In Norse mythology, the goddess Freya had a chariot which was pulled by two cats. The physical attributes of these cats drawing The Chariot perfectly match the description of the Norwegian Forest Cat. The Norwegian Forest Cat is a domestic species of cat which originated in northern Europe and is known to have a strong bone structure and thick fluffy fur with a wooly undercoat which is necessary for the harsh environments of Scandinavia. Vikings put a great deal of value into cats being mousers on their boats

as they explored the Earth. There is also evidence to show that the Vikings saw cats as symbols of good luck and Fortune.  Research regarding current cat DNA in North America is limited, but it is indeed very possible that cats currently living in Newfoundland could be descendants of the Vikings that settled in L’Anse aux Meadows! Okay, so we have figured out how cats became domesticated and how they came to reside in North America, but what roles do they have in society now? What does their future hold? Check back next month for the final chapter.

Ask a pet Vet Question: What is Feline Leukemia? Answer: Feline leukemia

virus (FeLV) is a virus that can infect cats. It was first discovered in cats that had leukemia, which is a cancer of circulating blood cells. Nowadays, we know that this virus does cause leukemia—one of the few known infections that can lead a cat to develop cancer— but most cats with feline leukemia virus are asymptomatic. This asymptomatic state usually lasts for weeks to years until cats begin to show vague symptoms due to anemia, a weakened immune system, and eventually leukemia. The virus acts by entering the cells in a cat’s tissues throughout the body and “taking control” of the process that cells use for replicating themselves. In this way, the virus guarantees that it will survive in future generations of cells and spreads throughout the body. Some cats with feline leukemia virus infection remain completely asymptomatic for their entire lives and never have any health problems as a result, although they do continue to spread the virus

(contagion). Other cats can develop very serious diseases as a result of the feline leukemia virus infection, and these include some types of cancer, bone marrow suppression, and immune deficiencies (weakened immune system). This virus has been diagnosed in cats throughout the world and is not known to infect people; however, cats with this disease may harbor other infectious agents that can be spread to humans with weakened immune systems (such as individuals with HIV/ AIDS, people undergoing chemotherapy treatments, etc.). Therefore, cats with feline leukemia infection should be monitored closely for any symptoms of illness and should be brought to a veterinarian to be evaluated promptly if symptoms of any sort of illness become apparent, both for the cat’s sake and for the benefit of any individuals in contact with them that might be prone to infections. Feline leukemia virus can be transmitted among cats in close, prolonged contact with each other through saliva, urine, and other bodily fluids including nasal and eye secretions. It is extremely uncommon for a one-time exposure to lead to infection; rather, repeated exposure such as sharing food/water dishes and using common litter areas contribute to the spread of this virus between cats. Unneutered male cats that wander and fight have an increased risk of becoming infected and of transmitting the disease to other cats because of this behavior.

Halifax Accel Major Bantam – Hunter (knuckles) Oakley. Truro Bearcats Major Bantam – Bryson Uberoi. Halifax Macs Major Midget – Ian Watt.

Martel pots the winner for Chebucto

Back row from left to right: Coach Mitchell Hennberry, Nate Harnett, Cameron Slaunwhite, Cutter DeVine, Riley Scallion , Keighan Reynolds, Karsten Marks, Josh Martin, Ethan Locke, Todd Mitchell, Ben Lake, Jacob Newcombe, Camden Rendell, Coach Benny DeVine. Middle row from the left: Jack Letterick, Gabe Walters and Thomas Fallows. Front from the left: Ryan Douglas and Amelia Awad.

The Chebucto Bantam AA hockey team got off to a great start on Friday night at the 51st Annual Bluenose hockey tournament when Jacob Newcombe scored with 32 seconds left in the 3rd period to lift the Chebucto Atlantics past the host team from Cumberland County. In the first game on Saturday, Chebucto led 2-0 after 2 minutes of play and they never looked back. The final score was 6-0 over the Antigonish Bull Dogs. The third game of the Round Robin was against the Truro Bear Cats. The play was back and forth with the score at 2-1 before Camden Rendell scored his first of the tournament to put the game out of reach for a 3-1 final score.

In the Semi Final game Sunday morning Chebucto faced Acadia. It was a very tight checking close game but Chebucto came out on top with a 4-2 victory. The Chebucto Atlantics would square off against the Truro Bear Cats in the winner take all game. Chebucto jumped out to a 1-0 early lead when defenceman Ethan Locke blasted a point shot past the Truro tender. Gabe Walters scored a beautiful short-handed goal and added a second goal before the second period ended. Truro scored their first goal of the game in the dying seconds of the second period leaving Chebucto leading 3-1 after 2 periods. Chebucto goaltender Amelia Awad

made 2 great early third period saves to preserve the lead before Jacob Newcombe scored 2 goals 4 minutes apart to give the Atlantics plenty of breathing room. Keighan Reynolds scored the last goal of the game with 6 minutes remaining to make the final score 6-1 Chebucto. Gabe Walters was named the MVP of the final game. Rookie Coach Mitchell Henneberry said “It was great to see the team come together and get this Tournament win. We have a lot of talented players on our team and when they play as a team they will be able to be competitive against any team.”

Local Judo Sensei takes it to the world stage

This international tournament is held each year and is attended by many former World Champions and even Olympians. This is the highest level tournament a Judoka (Judo fighter) can compete in over the age of 40, and he will be part of the team representing Canada. Mike is training hard and has every hope of returning home with a medal! “We tell the kids that they can do anything if they work hard enough, now we’re going to prove it”. Mike Lavoie is a 45 year old Black Belt (Shodan) from Spryfield, Nova Scotia who actually found Judo somewhat late in life. At 30 years old he was a 300 lb office worker with a pack a day smoking habit, and a family history of heart disease. He joined Judo at the YMCA after his eight year old son (who had been practising for a year or so) threw him in the snow. 15 years and tons of sweat later, he is a two time Atlantic Canadian Champion, 2 time Provincial Champion, with dozens of other medal finishes. Currently Mike teaches and trains at Nova United Martial Arts at 531 Herring Cove road in Spryfield. You can wish him luck at NUMA’s Facebook site or by donating; Mike Lavoie— https://funds.gofundme.com/ dashboard/2jr4rhv4

Fundraiser a success

This coming November, a local Judo Player, Mike Lavoie of Nova United Martial Arts will be competing in the World Veteran Judo Championship in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

by Benny DeVine Chebucto Minor Hockey held their 2nd Annual Bubba Rays Laugh for Cash Fundraiser on Saturday October 8th at the Rec Center at the Lions Rink and by all accounts it was a huge success. Over 150 people enjoyed some very funny standup comedy which was provided by Marc Sauvé and his Funny Fundraisers team www.funnyfundraisers.ca Kim from Kimmies Canteen and her staff were serving delicious pub style food through the evening. Through ticket sales, the live auction and a donation from our event sponsor Bubba Rays Sports Bar, the event raised over $10,000 for Chebucto Minor Hockey and Chebucto families. The Chebucto Board would like to thank all the volunteers and our event sponsor for their time and effort; this great evening wouldn’t be possible if wasn’t for all of you. Bubba Rays now has 5 locations. Halifax at 5640 Spring Garden Rd, Halifax at 7071 Bayers Rd, Bedford at 1717 Bedford Hwy, Truro at 515 Prince St and in Moncton at 800 Main St. Bubba Rays was voted the best wings, best atmosphere, and the best sports bar

Martel’s all smiles after his game winning goal!

The Chebucto Bantam A hockey team took to the ice Monday night against the Dartmouth Whalers at the Spryfield Lions Rink. The Whalers got the first goal 3 mins into the game and after a period of play the visitors were up 1-0. Early in the second period Brock Townsend took a nifty pass from Brycen Schnare to tie the game at 1 apiece. Dartmouth stormed back with a goal just 11 seconds later to take back the lead. Chebucto poured on the pressure and it paid off with Cody Jollymore scoring with 54 seconds left the second period. Dartmouth took the lead again scoring just 5 later and then Townsend scored his second of the night 23 seconds later. After 2 periods of fast back and forth play the score was tied at 3 apiece. The 3rd period saw much of the early play in the Whalers end and 2 minutes into the period Jollymore scored his second of the night on a pass from Schnare. Unbelievably Dartmouth scored again 13 second later to deadlock things at 4. The next 5 minutes saw end to end rushes for both teams and there was no shortage of big body checks. Chebucto went on a 4 minute Power Play with 4 minutes remaining in the game. A minute into the Power Play Chebucto controlled the puck in the Whalers end. Thomas Duck passed the puck to Christopher Parsons who fed the puck back to the point where Nick Martel took a shot that beat the Dartmouth goalie for what proved to be the winning goal of the game. Dartmouth controlled the play for much of the final period but Brett Hopkins made save after save to preserve the Chebucto lead. Hopkins stopped 24 shots on the night. Coach Clint Townsend said “it was a very exciting game and it seemed like the team with the last shot would win”.

Trudeau government marks one year by Andy Fillmore, MP for Halifax

This November 4th marks one year since our new government took office. It’s been a distinct honour to serve Halifax, the city we love, and to represent your concerns in Ottawa. For my submission this month, I wanted to take some time to recap the action-packed first year of the Justin Trudeau government, and all that has been achieved across this country. And what a year it has been! Here it is at a glance: • Reinstated the Long Form Census (on day 1!), ensuring policy-making and decisions are evidence-based. • The new tax-free Canada Child Benefit saw 9/10 families better off, with an average family increase of $2,300/year. • The middle class tax cut (with a tax increase on the wealthiest 1%) means that nearly 9 million Canadians have more money on their paycheques. • Phase 1 of the infrastructure investment program saw nearly $12 billion spent on transit, bridges, roads, ports, clean water, affordable housing, childcare centres and cultural/recreation centres. And there’s $48 billion to come in phase 2! • The Old Age Security (OAS) eligibility age was returned to 65 from 67, putting thousands of dollars back into the pockets of Canadians when they become seniors. • An increase in the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) will help almost 900,000 seniors, and lift 13,000 people out of poverty. • The Atlantic Growth Strategy was launched, focusing on increasing immigration, and on investing in people, technology, and partnerships to boost innovation in Atlantic Canada. • Canada Student Grants have been increased by 50% across the board. • Doubled the number of young Canadians going to work under the Canada Summer Jobs Program. • Introduced the new Teacher and Early Childhood Educator School Supply Tax Credit, for up to $1,000. • The Paris Agreement was ratified in the House of Commons, making Canada a committed international leader on mitigating climate change. • A pan-Canadian price on carbon pollution has been introduced, which will create wealth for provinces to then use as they see fit, including to make energy more affordable for low and moderate income earners. • The first gender-balanced cabinet in the history of Canada! • Welcomed and settled over 32,000 Syrian refugees. • Launched and funded a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. • Passed a legislative framework for medical assistance in dying, providing relief for Canadians who are suffering intolerably from terminal illness. • Improved access to Employment Insurance (EI) for Canadians when they need it. • Taken steps toward legalizing and regulating marijuana, and to ensure it stays out of the hands of children, and the profits out of the hands of criminals. • Signed 60+ new business deals worth $1.2 billion during the Prime Minister’s visit to China. • Invested $2 billion over next three years in Canada’s researchers, post-secondary institutions, and innovation networks. • Invested nearly $35 million to increase broadband internet access for over 65,000 households in rural areas across Canada.

• Strengthening the Environmental Assessment process to be based on facts, evidence, and the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples. • Massive increase in investment ($197 million over 5 years) for ocean and freshwater science, and monitoring. • Revoked rules and regulations that muzzled government scientists. • Eliminated exorbitant fees associated

with access to information requests. • Banned partisan government ads and communications. • Open and transparent community roundtable discussions on numerous topics, across the country. • A new, independent, transparent, meritbased process for senate appointments. • Engaged with Canadian youth with the creation of Youth Councils, including

here in Halifax. • Commenced a $1.9 billion 5-year program of investment in Canadian arts and culture...and more! Our government knows that there is still so much to be done over the next three years. Some of it won’t come easy - but we’re up for the challenge. And as we go about that path, be sure to keep in touch. Share your views with me at any time - call my office at 902 426 8691 or email me to set up a meeting at [email protected]. Or stop by my office at Rm 808, 1888 Brunswick Street, Halifax.

Sixteen years of accomplishments by Linda Mosher, HRM Councillor, District 9

It has been an honour to represent residents on Halifax Regional Council over the past sixteen years. When I first started I was quite young and full of energy and new ideas. Over the years I have continued to bring forward policies to positively represent not only my constituents, but residents throughout HRM. Although we have accomplished much in the district I am most proud of spearheading the National Historic Site designation for the Memorial Tower at the Dingle and applying and receiving over $1.2 million in federal contributions to assist in restoring this historic gem in our district. As well, recently we received National Historic Site Status for Melville Island and Deadman’s Island. Also staff and Council agreed with a study assessing climate change effects in the Northwest Arm and continued seawall restoration funding. My experience allowed me to grow into senior roles such as being the Chair of the Audit & Finance Standing Committee, Chair of the Halifax Board of Police Commissioners, and Chair of Halifax & West Community Council. This summer I was on the hiring committee for the Chief Administrative Officer and Auditor General, and have confidence the public will be pleased with these selections! By working with residents and community groups, we were able to make positive changes in our community. It has been a pleasure to work with so many great volunteer organizations, including, but not limited to, The Mainland South Heritage Society, The Spryfield Lions Rink and Recreation Centre Board, Spryfield and District Business Commission, The Golden Age Centre, The Earl Francis Memorial Legion, Spryfield Farmers Market, Long Lake Provincial Park Association, volunteers for the Spryfield Santa Clause Parade and the list goes on. Thank you to all the volunteers who have worked hard to make our communities great! Also a special thank you to The Chebucto News for allowing me to write a community column every month to update residents on issues of interest in our district and the municipality. It is wonderful to have such a positive and community oriented publication. Although I’m no longer your Councillor, I still care deeply about our communities and will continue to be active in various volunteer activities. I am very pleased Councillor Stephen Adams was re-elected. Steve and I met when we were students at J.L. Ilsley High School. We have worked collaboratively over the years to positively represent our areas. He will continue to have a focus on District 9 and will ensure projects we initiated will be implemented. One example is the Herring Cove Road/Purcell’s Cove traffic control options. Steve and I held a public meeting in April to obtain feedback on

four options for the Purcell’s Cove Road/ Herring Cove Road intersection and one option for widening Herring Cove Road entry to the Armdale Rotary. Regional Council approved my request for staff to prioritize funding for these projects in the 2017/2018 capital budget. Other projects which will continue include the seawall restoration at Sir Sandford Fleming Park. The tender for Phase 4 of the Northwest Arm seawall restoration has been issued; it is estimated to cost $812,000. I put in a priority request to include restoration of the Regatta Point seawall for 2017/2018. The natural playground at the Dingle is now being constructed. We had tendered a swing set, including a new type of swing called an expression swing, an interactive swing where parents and children can swing together. This concept was introduced to me by a resident, Ms. Copeland, and it is a great idea! When the contractor started to excavate for the swing set a nearby resident asked him to stop as there are foundations here from the original Jollimore homes. I met with staff on-site and requested they move the swing set. Thus it will be moved to the adjacent parking lot area and there will be a grassy area and connected pathway and no parking

in this small area to ensure safety. This work will be completed in the spring. The new boat launch at the Dingle will be constructed this spring and will repurpose existing granite. As I updated residents in my last issue of The Mosher Report, St. Margaret’s Bay Road received Council budget approval of over $1million for capital upgrades. Due to the requirement of moving retaining walls the paving and new sidewalk construction will not commence until the spring of 2017. Previously Council approved capital funding to renovate St. Andrew’s Centre. I worked with staff and we concluded a new facility is required. Public consultation on this new facility will begin late fall. The Moving Forward Together transit plan had many recommended changes for District 9. Based on resident feedback I moved several amendments to protect these routes. This is something members of the public should keep an eye on when the plan comes back to Council. Also we were working on connecting the Chain of Lakes Trail to other communities including Stoneridge and the Halifax Peninsula, hopefully the new Council will continue to make these trail connections a priority.

Fundraiser for Cape Bretoners by Brendan Maguire, MLA for Halifax Atlantic As we all know, Cape Breton was hit hard by Hurricane Matthew. Over the next few days, weeks, months and, in some cases, years, the great people of Cape Breton have to rebuild. Of course they will show their natural resilience, and they will rebuild stronger than ever! During the Alberta wildfires the people of CB showed their kindness and raised $200,000 to help rebuild Fort McMurray. I want to do something to show the people of CB that we mainlanders haven’t forgotten them. So, with the help of local musical group The Boogie Boys, we will be throwing a concert at the Spryfield Legion November 5th at 8pm. A percentage of ticket sales, along with all 50/50 sales and sponsors’ money will be going to help out our friends, families, brothers and sisters in Cape Breton in their time of need. Tickets are available at my office and are $10. Buy a couple and come out for a rockin’ good time! You can buy tickets at my office at 349 Herring Cove Road Suite C or message me on Facebook. Let’s make this a huge success! Mobile Food Market - Produce Pack With the closing of the corner store in Harrietsfield, access to food has become an issue, especially for those with limited transportation.

Over the past few months I’ve worked with the YWCA and the Mobile Food Market Group to provide access to healthy food in the Spryfield area and expand it to Harrietsfield and Williamswood. We are in the early stages, but we need to gauge public interest, so please visit my Facebook site for a link to the survey; we look forward to your feedback and moving this fantastic project forward. Christmas Tree for Long Lake There has been a new addition to the Denith Road/Old Sambro Road section of Long Lake: a spruce tree. The tree was donated by a local resident, and we will be lighting it up just in time for the holiday season! Barb’s Benches October 22nd saw Barb’s Benches expand to Shubie Park in Dartmouth. The original purple bench is at Long Lake and honours the life of Barbra Baillie. The benches will now be placed in different communities throughout Nova Scotia, raising awareness of domestic violence. A New Addition to the Family October 12th at 10:30am Rena, Oliver, Rufina and I, welcomed a baby girl Isla Rose Maguire to our family. Isla was born (See Fundraiser on page 13)

The Armdale Report

by the Honourable Lena Diab, MLA for Halifax Armdale

Last month, we kicked off an exciting new session of the legislative assembly with the delivery of the speech from the throne. In that speech, the lieutenant governor outlined the remarkable progress Nova Scotia has made over the last three years, and set forth a number of practical and progressive steps we will be taking to build a stronger and more prosperous province. I was especially thrilled, for the first time, to stand in the House of Assembly and offer my own speech in reply to the speech from the throne. Over almost a full hour, I had the privilege of speaking about some of the great projects that have been going forward in Armdale; some of the fantastic festivals, events, and celebrations that we’ve had here;and about the initiatives in health care, education, immigration, research, and employment that I’ve been so proud to be a part of. While there’s too much good outlined in my speech to recap here, when I have a video clip of my reply, I’ll be sure to post it on my Facebook page so you can check it out for yourself! November is, of course, an important time of remembrance for all Canadians. I hope that everyone in our community will take the time on the 11th to reflect upon the courageous men and women who have served our country in times of war, conflict, and peace, and those who today risk their lives to ensure our security. The great freedoms and prosperity we enjoy today would never have been possible without the tremendous sacrifice of the veterans who stood up when our country needed them. I was especially touched this year to receive one of the first printings of the Royal Canadian Mint’s new toonies commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic from constituent and trustee with the Canadian Naval Memorial, Bert Walker. Canada’s contribution in that pivotal battle was one that ultimately helped change the course of World War II, and I hope that when you see this new coin in your change, it will give you pause to reflect upon the gratitude we all owe to our veterans. This fall, the government is also looking for public service-minded Nova Scotians to volunteer to sit on some of our numerous Agencies, Boards, and Commissions. These organizations are created by the government to provide advice and services in areas such as health, policing, agriculture, aquaculture, education, culture, environment, transportation, professional regulation, and more. Serv-

ing on these agencies can help you grow personally and professionally while also making a real impact in your community. If you’re interested in serving, I’d encourage you to check out novascotia.ca/abc before the end of the month and find a position that interests you. On October 15, residents across HRM went to the polls to choose their mayor, their regional councillors, and their representatives on the Halifax Regional School Board. I know firsthand just how much it takes to put your name forward for election, and I want to take this opportunity

to congratulate all candidates on their hard fought campaigns. I’m truly looking forward to continuing to work with the mayor and our new council to move Halifax forward. My sincere thanks to outgoing councillor Linda Mosher for the years of hard work she put into making our community a better place to live. With winter quickly approaching, I know many families will have two seasonal concerns on their mind: avoiding the flu and managing the cost of heating their home. Fortunately, there is help available to Nova Scotians on both fronts. The flu vaccine is now available free of charge from most pharmacies, family doctors, family practice nurses, and nurse practitioners.Vaccination is a simple, safe

and effective way to prevent getting or spreading the flu, and I encourage everyone to get vaccinated. For assistance with your home heating costs, the province offers a Heating Assistance Rebate Program. The 2016-17 program features a new online application system and direct deposit option, and eligible applicants can receive up to a $200 rebate for heating assistance. Paper applications are available at my constituency office at 1 Craigmore Drive, or online. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need assistance applying. Remember that you can always contact me at (902) 455-1610 or info@lenadiab. ca. I’m very proud to represent the people of Halifax Armdale, and I thank you for your continued support.

New Halifax Transit departure time number! by Stephen Adams, HRM Councillor, District 11

As Summer comes to a chilly close, our construction season also comes to an end. We’ve had some roadwork completed, a new play structure for the Captain William Spry Centre, upgrades to the Harrietsfield Elementary School yard, and other improvements throughout our district. Over the last few months, I’ve had many concerns with regard to speeding cars. To that end, I have committed funds from the District 11 Capital funds for the purchase of a radar box. This will help reduce speeds in the short term and provide data to determine where we should set up radar. If you have areas of concern, please let me know. This will be used according to demand, so set-up may take a few weeks. New Departures Line Replaces Go Time As part of the Halifax Transit technology upgrade, the GoTime phone number has been decommissioned and a new Departures Line has taken its place. Going forward, all real-time bus departure information can be accessed for every stop by calling 902-480-8000. The Departures Line is one of several passenger information improvements being rolled out in phases now that the entire Halifax Transit bus fleet has been equipped with real-time location technology.
