When Will They Ever Learn?

Editorial

By Richard Bell
The highly-praised Ivany Report emphasizes openness and transparency as the key for producing the necessary social license for new projects and policies. Failure to follow these
recommendations almost inevitably leads to grassroots mobilizations to stop projects.
The latest example of this failure to generate social license is playing out in Porters Lake.
Kiann Management Ltd., headed by Lawrence Bellefontaine, has asked the city to upzone a
38-hectare rural parcel on the north side of Route 7 in Porters Lake so that it can build a
new facility to process wastes from construction and demolition (C&D) into materials that
can be reused. Such recycling is a critical part of Nova Scotias Canada-leading efforts to
reduce materials going to landfills.

Meanwhile, another Bellefontaine company, Capital Demolition and Environmental Services, took tons of inert waste from a Halifax city demolition contract for the Gordon Bell Building and spread this material across a small part of
the 38-acre parcel of land Kiann Management was asking to rezone.
Mike Thomas, a nearby homeowner, stumbled across these inert wastes after
spotting a small sign about the proposed rezoning. Thomass wife, Valerie Keizer
-Thomas set up a Facebook group that had almost 500 members within 2 weeks.
On June 9th, more than 100 people turned out for a meeting, called on only 5
days notice. Concerned citizens are now going door-to-door in the area with a
petition calling on the city to reject the proposed rezoning because of concerns
about the closeness of residential housing, noise, air and water pollution, and
increased truck traffic.
Local citizens had a chance to talk with Bellefontaine directly on June 23, when
he invited several of them to the Porters Lake site to watch while a backhoe dug
holes to show them exactly what materials had been deposited on the site.
Bellefontaine refused to allow the Cooperator to participate in this inspection.
And Bellefontaine also refused to allow the citizens he did allow onto the site to
take any pictures, offering instead pictures from his own photographer.
In his discussion with the group, Bellefontaine emphasized his passion for the
work that his company did and the importance of that work in meeting the provinces recycling goals. He pointed out that his company was staffed to pay more
attention to environmental issues than any of his competitors.
As this issue goes to press, this story continues to unfold. On the evening of June
23, Halifax City Council voted to accept Capitol Demolitions low bid to demolish
St. Patricks School. (For the latest information, please see the Cooperators
Facebook page.)
Councilor David Hendsbee, who participated in the June 23 site visit, says that
there will be two opportunities for the public to express their concerns about
rezoning to allow the proposed C&D facility, first in July at a public information
meeting that has yet to be scheduled. Staff will then prepare a recommendation
that will go to the Harbour EastMarine Drive Community Council for a final
vote. This meeting may happen in August, or September.

In 2013, the local council in Blockhead rejected a similar C&D rezoning bid from
another company, Halifax C&D, after citizens raised many of the same objections that are being raised in Porters Lake. The Nova Scotia Utility and Review
Board upheld this rejection in 2014.
Nova Scotia is a leader in recycling, something we can all be proud of. And recycling requires facilities. But as we are now seeing in Porters Lake, failure to operate as openly and transparently as possible has once again created the conditions that make developing solid social license very difficult.

Say It With Flowers

By Ria Hodgson
During the WW II occupation of the Netherlands, my
mother and many others planted a lot of orange flowers:
marigolds, rudbeckia, California poppies and what all. It
was an act of resistance indicating support of the Dutch
Royal House of Orange. Of course the enemy caught on
and made everyone get rid of them, but the point was
made.
In times of peace flowers are a sign of love and appreciation on Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, anniversaries, etc.
And when there is an illness, nothing cheers the patient
more than to be given a lovely bouquet.
And now, on July 11th, the Eastern Shore Garden Club
and The Old School invite all you gardeners, painters, and
young people to show off your love of flowers and your
community by entering the Annual "Petals and Paint"
Flower Show. Participating is not difficult and everything
will be done to make it a great experience for people of
all ages.
Heres how to get your flowers or your flower-related
paintings in the show: get the specifics from The Old
School (902-889-27350), me (902-889-2025,
ria@taskerandhodgson.ca) or the ESGC webpage
(http://users.eastlink.ca/~baileygm/ESGC/index.html)
Read and study the list of kinds and number of flowers to
enter as well as the tips. Then on the morning or late afternoon of the July10th, walk through your garden and
choose your best blooms. The syllabus will tell you what
to look for. Keep them in a bucket of warm water and
store in a cool, dark place until the evening when you can
drop them off at The Old School in Musquodoboit Harbour. We will let you know the time. If you do not have
an appropriate container, dont worry, we will have lots
of containers on hand. And we will also welcome your
compositions, arrangements, bouquets, and houseplants.

Ms. Carolyn Downie, a qualified judge from Dartmouth,

will do her job early Saturday morning before the public
can come and admire. The show is a one-day event. If
you would like to get your entry back, you can pick them
up Saturday at the close of the show. We will be awarding ribbons for different categories, as well as three
prizes of an ESGC membership.
So thats it in a nutshell. Planting a seed so to speak. I
had been a club member for ages but only participated in
a show a few years back, and now Im really hooked! Its
so much fun; you learn to look at your flowers in a totally
different way, it feeds your competitive spirit, and
theres a bit of luck and a lot of pride (if you manage to
get one of those ribbons for your bulletin board!)
In addition to gardeners, we are inviting artists to show
their work as it relates to flowers. It makes for a very interesting exhibition. And theres also a special category
for young people.
Its a good thing that July 11th is still a long way off. Looking at your garden now, its hard to imagine it in color,
isn't it? But the miracle will happen and we will then be
able to say it with flowers: "We love our flowers, our
community, and the people in it!
Ria Hodgson is the President of the Eastern Shore Gardening Club.

Women on Wheels Weekend Plan New Roles for Bikes
By Richard Bell
Several attendees are strong advocates of the need to make cycling a
central component of future city design as an alternative to the cardependent designs that clog todays

practices. Different communities
have different cycling needs, Magee
said, and we talked about how to
improve city design to meet those
needs by becoming more bikefriendly.
Magee said that WoW

Local Project Lifesaver Ready to Go

by Janice Christie
SHEET HARBOUR: Project Lifesaver was a program
initiated in the States to help locate missing persons
who have been identified as potential wanderers.
Several years ago the Ground Search and Rescue
Team in the Valley took an interest and invited
them to train their volunteers in Nova Scotia.
The enthusiasm for the project ignited and
funding was obtained from the Federal government
and now all 24 Teams in Nova Scotia are equipped
to run this project.
The president of Sheet Harbour and Area
Ground Search and Rescue, Neil Parnell, a retired
member of the RCMP, explains how the project
works. "Each Team has been given three handheld
directional radio frequency receivers. Clients have
been given a three digit number unique to that client and they wear a personalized bracelet that acts
as a transmitter. If a client goes missing or is wandering, their digit is programmed into the receiver
and Teams respond once the first 911 call has been
placed."

search times have been

reduced from hours and sometimes days to minutes
Using the mobile locator tracking system
search times have been reduced from hours and
sometimes days to minutes.
Clients who qualify for this type of assistance
are patients with Alzheimer's disease, Autism,
Down Syndrome or Traumatic Brain Injury. To enroll your loved one in this program there is a check
list of items to complete...the first of which is a doctor's note. The website with complete details is
www.projectlifesaver.info
Parnell says the program has been very successful in the province all ready. "Some team members have taken the two day training as 'Electronic
Search Specialist' which then allows them to train
other members of their own local teams.

Sheet Harbour and Area Ground Search and

Rescue cover a catchment area of Mooseland Road
in Popes Harbour to Sherbrooke. The Team consisting of 45 members has an executive and a board of
directors. They meet by-monthly at the Sheet Harbour Fire Hall. "Our local Team sponsors the highly
successful Fishing Derby and this year's 19th annual
Derby had a profit of $13,000 ", notes Parnell.
These important funds help with the purchase of
equipment and training."
Locals can volunteer to get involved. There
are the fund raisers, actual searches, spreading the
word or be a battery charger.

"We are now actively looking for clients," says Parnell

"We are now actively looking for clients," says
Parnell. "This is a non-profit organization and project but there are costs involved. The initial set-up
fee per client is $360. Once established as a client
there is a $30 monthly maintenance fee."
Sheet Harbour Ground Search and Rescue
Team and Sheet Harbour Lions Club are both offering a 'First Come First Serve' sponsorship of the first
two clients who approach them to cover the initial
$360 and the first year of monthly fees. Parnell can
be contacted in Sheet Harbour at 902-885-3079 for
more information.

The transmitters have an ability to reach distances of 1 1/2 km to 3 km...depending on the terrain. Placed magnetically on the roof of a vehicle...they are able to rotate at 360 degrees. The
Ground Search and Rescue Teams work in conjunction with the RCMP. Head office for Project Lifesaver Association of Nova Scotia is located in Kentville.

Dealing with Conversations, Conflict and Change
By Bethana Sullivan
A student in a class I teach on interpersonal communications had the courage to say that she found
it hard to hear and identify the emotions being expressed by the other person in the conversation.
She understood her difficulty to be because she
doesn't often think about, talk about, or express her
own feelings. Nor does she seek out how others
might be feeling.
My students experience is not uncommon. It would
be easy to blame today's world of instant messaging and 140 characters information sharing. But
unfortunately theres more going on behind things
like the requisite but empty formality of How are
you today, a ritual that most of us engage in every
day. Or the equally empty How did you feel about
that phrase we hear in almost every media interview focused on some disaster or other. In these
and similar phrases, there is little engagement in
seeking to understand the emotional worlds of self,
other and community.

Emotions, if silenced, enter into our body language

through felt images such as a kick in the stomach
a load on my back a broken heart or an iron fist
in a silk glove. When we ignore our emotions, we
miss out on all the rich information that our emotions can provide us, helping us to make decisions,
to discern what is of significance in our lives, and to
make sense and meaning of ourselves and others.
Our emotional life is a rich resource that we need to
see, sift though, and savour for all its flavours. Our
emotions enrich us when we become emotionally
literate.

Its not surprising how emotionally illiterate we can

be. For women, feelings have been linked to a soft,
intuitive nature, characterized as less rational and
therefore somehow suspect. For men, feelings have
been seen as being less manly, except perhaps for
anger. All too often, we are told to avoid experiencing our feelings because they are irrational. In much
of Western psychology and philosophy, emotions
have been left out of the mind-body-spirit framework for understanding and naming who and what
we are.

All too often, we are told to avoid

experiencing our feelings because
they are irrational
The relationships between our emotions, conflict,
and change are complex. Oftentimes we believe
that thinking something wills it into being. In terms
of achievement, using skills like visualization can be
very helpful. But for creating longevity of relationships or the health of the heart, we need to develop
fluency and flexibility in traversing the landscape of
emotions. In my next piece, well take a look at
some everyday examples of how can learn to be in
better touch with our feelings, and how to embody
that skill in all our relationships.
Bethana Sullivan is as teacher, a healer and psychotherapist who has worked with men, women, families, and groups in many settings: private practice
for 30 years, clinical settings such as addiction centres and community mental health clinics. She is a
certified therapist, mediation and conflict facilitator,
and workshop and therapeutic group facilitator.
Group dynamics, mediation and conflict, interpersonal communication and earth based spiritual
practices are the focus of her teaching. She currently
teaches part-time at MSVU.

Great Year for Boys and Girls ESDH Rugby

Win A FREE Cooperator Subscription

By Dustin Baker

This year was a big year for both the boys and girls ESDH Rugby teams. The
girls went through an astounding undefeated season and won a Metro Area
banner. The boys team had a rough beginning, with early injuries making it
look like the season was going to be grim. But the team fought their way
through to win the Capital Region banner over the Millwood High Knights. After this win, the boys team kicked it into high gear and went on to go undefeated for the rest of season, winning a Metro Area banner as well.
This year was the first year that Division 2 schools were offered to play at a
provincial tournament and play for the NSSAF Provincial banner. The girls, after having such a great season, were unfortunately defeated in the semi-finals
of the tournament. But the boys ended up making history. In a game that truly
was down to the wire with a final score of 7-0 in favour of ESDH, the boys became NSSAF Provincial Rugby Champions for the first time ever.

Honourable Geoff MacLellan
Minister of Highways for Nova Scotia

Dear Mr. Minister

Last summer, for my vacation, I drove from my home in
British Columbia to the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia.
Anyone who has made that trip is familiar with the stunning beauty which Canada offers.
Upon my arrival I was greeted by a spectacular show of
lupines starting to flower along the edges of Highway 7.
Miles and miles of colour. A scene of which you must be
familiar and is often the subject of postcards and calendars promoting the beauty of Nova Scotia.
Sadly it was a short-lived beauty; shortly after my arrival
and just as the lupines were reaching their prime, a highway mowing machine cut them down. The timing could
not have been worse.
Surely this action could have been delayed briefly or, perhaps, it could have been scheduled to have occurred before the lupines start to grow.
Yours in promoting Nova Scotia,
Gordon Olsen, Comox BC.
