PUBLIC MEETING & SURVEY
MUNICIPAL POLLING DISTRICT
BOUNDARY REVIEW
The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg is conducting
a review of its Municipal Polling District Boundaries. The
purpose of this review is to enable Municipal Council to make
an application to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board
(URB) for the approval of the size of Council and accompanying
Municipal Polling District Boundaries.
A Council Size Survey was recently conducted. Based on the
results of the survey Council will be making an application to the
URB to reduce the number of Councillors to 10 (plus a Mayor).
As a result, the number of Council districts also needs to be
reduced to 10 polling districts. Council has drafted their preferred
district boundary option and an alternative option for public
comment.
A public meeting will be held:
Date: Monday, November 17, 2014
Time: 7-9 PM
Place: Municipal Council Chambers
(210 Aberdeen Road, Bridgewater)
The purpose of the meeting is to provide background information
on the review and offer you the opportunity to ask questions
and share your thoughts on the two district boundary options.
Changes in district boundaries will take effect with the next
Municipal Election in October 2016.
SURVEY: An on-line survey is also available for you to provide
feedback on the draft boundaries. To complete the survey please
visit www.modl.ca/survey.

How 16 months changed our world
recall being on the verge of entering my teen years,
and in the process of discovering serious rock ’n’
roll music.
In previous years, I had been wetting my musical palate on light pop jingles, in some cases what could even
be called bubble gum, and even my mom and dad’s ’50s
and ’60s records. These were all great songs,
and many of the tunes I was listening to at
the time still stand up today. That said, my
ears were about to be opened to something I
hadn’t been exposed to before.
I’ll preface this by saying that it was a
little later, in my mid-teens, that I would
go back and educate myself on bands such
as Led Zepplin, The Who, early Stones and
Beatles, The Doors, The Guess Who and
others that I was not mature enough to appreciate when these groups were in their
prime.
However, the 14-month period from August, 1976, to October, 1977, would change
Tanner's
my life, and the world, forever. In August
of 1976, Boston’s self-titled debut album
had been released and the landscape of
rock music appeared to be making a tectonic shift. Tunes such as “More Than a Feeling,”
“Peace Of Mind,” ‘Rock & Roll Band,” “Long Time”
and “Smokin’” are all classic rock radio mainstays.
As much as this album had a serious impact on my
life, and on the landscape of popular music, it was
only the beginning of the 14-month period that would
change music forever, with the release of four more of
the greatest compilations of all time. Little did I know
at the time that a period like this might never come
again. I assumed the great rock music that was being
produced at a ridiculous pace would continue
to be unveiled at an incredible rate. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
As I mentioned, the period began with
Boston’s self-titled debut. My life, and likely
the lives of many others, were changed forever on December 8, 1976, when The Eagles
released their fifth album, and their first
without founding member Bernie Leadon,
since the band was completing a change of
direction which had begun with their third
album, “On The Border,” back in 1974. Their
1976 release, “Hotel California,” is my personal favourite album ever, and to many, one
of the greatest albums ever recorded. The
Tunes
compilation completed The Eagles transition
from a pop-country, or southern California,
sound to one of the time’s greatest progressive rock bands. “Hotel California” produced hits that
music lovers still enjoy cranking up today, including
the title track, “Life In The Fast Lane,” “New Kid In
Town” and more.
As the public was cutting its teeth on “Hotel Califor-
Steve
tanner
Main Street
nia,” two months after that release, another megahit
album would have a major impact on the music world.
Fleetwood Mac would unleash “Rumours” on the world
in February, 1977. Producing instant classic hits “Go
Your Own Way,” “Dreams,” “Don’t Stop” and “You
Make Loving Fun,” the “Rumours” album sold over
45 million copies and spent 31 weeks at the top of Billboard’s top 200 album chart.
Then, on October 21, 1977, came the release of something not seen before, or at least not since The Who’s
“Tommy” rock opera. I’m talking about Meatloaf ’s “Bat
Out Of Hell,” the unbelievable collaboration between
Meatloaf, Jim Steinman and producer Todd Rundgren.
“Bat Out Of Hell” sold over 43 million copies and produced the mega-hits “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad” and
“Paradise By The Dashboard Light.”
One week later, the world was rocked by Queen’s,
“News Of The World.” The flamboyant English rockers
said two things that spoke more true than any statements at the time with “We Will Rock You” and “We
Are The Champions.” “News Of The World” was a
ground-breaking album and stands up today as one of
the greatest classic rock albums of all time.
I think it’s easy to see how this 14-month period may
have had a great influence on the formative years of
a 13-year-olds’ world, and help mould one’s views on
music, and what kind of standard to hold future music
to. I’m willing to bet my world wasn’t the only one
changed by music during that same incredible period.

Reality Check: Boundaries and disputes
B
oundaries can create cause for dispute. Sometimes,
however, setting a boundary can be an effective way to
diffuse a dispute.
Emma has endured criticism from her mother all her life. In
her youthful rush to get married and away from the stream of
disapproval, Emma made an unfortunate choice of husband.
Emma’s mom missed no opportunity to point out that mistake,
and the criticism continued even after Emma divorced.
For the most part, Emma accepts her mom’s critical behaviour as “just the way it is.” Emma chooses not to argue or
defend herself because she knows that would not help their
relationship. Her mother’s behaviour
is as it’s always been, and since Emma
wants peace in the family, she chooses
acceptance.
Through the years, Emma has grown
more confident. She has remarried and
is creating a good, satisfying life together with John and her stepchildren.
Emma’s new life has not stopped the
sniping from her mom. If anything,
that’s now enhanced. Where once
mom’s criticism used to be directed
only toward Emma, it’s now extended to
include John. Despite the fact that John
is a fine, hardworking, loving man, EmReality Check
ma’s mom still manages to find fault.
Although Emma wants to maintain
a relationship with her mother, it’s
becoming more difficult. When Emma
does a reality check, she’s observed that after a visit with
mom, she has much less patience with John, responds to small
disputes with frustration, and snaps at any tiny difficulty.
Emma is “not herself,” or at least, not the “herself ” that she
wants to be.
That reality check is a form of self-evaluation. Emma
looked at what she’s been doing and evaluated how it’s been
working. Clearly, the visits are not working well.
The next and more difficult question for Emma is, “What
will I do about it?”
One quick and easy answer is, “Don’t visit mom.”
However, removing herself from her mom’s life will not
meet Emma’s needs. Emma wants to protect her relationship
with her husband, but she also wants to maintain a need-satisfying relationship with her mom. Is there a way to have both?
Here’s where setting boundaries could be helpful.
Rather than attempting to ignore her mom’s
criticism of John, Emma has chosen to act more
honestly by setting a boundary — she will tell mom
that she will not tolerate criticism of John. If mom
criticizes John, Emma will leave. She will not express anger, argue, or defend, she will simply leave.
That’s the boundary.
Emma’s mom may attempt to cross the boundary.
For example, she may try accusations: “He’s making
you do this,” or “He’s trying to drive us apart.” She
may also try guilt: “I was just trying to help,” or “I
don’t know if my health can stand this,” and so on.
How might Emma respond? “Mom, I love you and
I want to visit with you, but I’m not prepared to listen to your criticism of John, so if you don’t change
the subject, I will leave now.”
What do you think of that response? Do you see
it as cold and unfeeling? Or do you see it as being
protective of both relationships? Let me know at
[email protected] or by mail c/o Lighthouse Log.

Treves made a wise decision. He decided during
the surgery to not to remove the appendix and simply
drained the abscess. He must have uttered a long, silent

Edward rallied and was later crowned king. Treves
was knighted and the king’s appendix operation became fashionable.
This year about 300,000 appendectomies will be done
in North America, but every year patients still die because of a ruptured appendix.
Today, if abdominal pain strikes, don’t wait hours to
seek medical help. There’s a tendency to write off pain
as a mild intestinal upset, or to take the attitude all will
be better in the morning. Precious hours are lost if the
pain is due to an acute appendicitis or another serious
abdominal problem.
Remember, never use a laxative in an endeavor to
ease stomach pain. If the pain is due to acute appendicitis, this may cause an inflamed appendix to rupture.
Also, don’t take food or drink. If surgery is needed,
this increases the chance that food could enter the
lungs if vomiting occurs during the operation. Don’t
take painkillers to mask the pain, either.

Last week, we debunked two common myths that many Canadians
believe about our elections. First, the myth that voters elect the prime
minister or the government (we elect our members of parliament).
Second, the notion that every vote matters (every vote gets counted,
but not every vote counts). This week we explain how elections are
really only an indirect tool for choosing our government.
Once the votes are tallied for a Federal election,
the winning candidate from each riding is elected
to parliament. It is up to Members of Parliament,
not Canadians, to determine who becomes the
prime minister and government.
Traditionally, the party that has the most MPs
elected to the House of Commons becomes the
governing party. However, being the largest party
in the House of Commons doesn’t necessarily
mean being in charge.
The only way to for a party leader to become
Prime Minister is for that leader to demonstrate
to the governor general they can earn the
confidence of a majority of MPs in the House
of Commons. Government can take three basic
forms: Majority, Minority, and Coalition.
If a leader fails to earn the confidence of the
house of commons, the governor general can
decide to offer another leader the opportunity
to do so, or dissolve parliament, and send
Canadians back to the polls.
When a party wins more than
half of the seats in the House
of Commons, a majority government Results. That party’s
leader will almost certainly
be able to maintain the confidence of a majority of MPs
and in most cases remain the
Prime Minister for at least
four years.
When no party wins a majority of
seats, a minority government may
result. A leader - usually, but not
always, from the party with the most
seats - must seek and maintain the
confidence of the house to be prime
minister. that leader must earn the
support of at least one other party
to govern, which doesn’t always last
long.
In coalition government, MPs from
multiple parties share leadership.
The governing parties can represent
a majority of MPs themselves, or
they can earn the confidence from
enough MPs from other parties to
rule as a minority. One party’s leader
will be the Prime Minister, but the
cabinet will include multiple parties.
Coalitions aren’t common in Canada.
With our Winner Take All voting system, riding level
elections don’t always elect MPs that reflect the
majority will of voters. With hundreds of ridings
across Canada, this distortion is projected into the
House of Commons and can result in governments
that aren’t always reflective of what Canadians
voted for. since the first world War, Canada has had
15 majority governments, but in eleven of those
cases, the majority of canadians voted for a party
that wasn’t a part of the government.
In our democracy, Canadians have the freedom
to criticize anything we want. Some people are
using this freedom to talk about new ways to
elect governments - ones that produce a better
representation of what canadians voted for on
election day.
We begin a three-week
series on how elections
are
run
and
won,
from the candidate’s
perspective.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20: Conflicting messages confuse
you this week, Aries. Just don’t let this confusion
keep you from doing what you think is right. Choose
a course and stick with it.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23: Libra, try your hardest to
make a tricky set of circumstances work to your
advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to
get things done.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21: Don’t be too hard on yourself this week, Taurus. You really do not need to
push yourself unless you are feeling motivated to
do so. If you feel like relaxing, so be it.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22: Scorpio, you are better at
dealing with things when they’re out in the light of
day. You don’t like to be secretive, nor do you like
the idea of others keeping secrets.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21: Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the room and be a quiet observer of what’s
going on around you instead of being the center of
attention. You may enjoy being a fly on the wall for
a change.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21: Sagittarius, do not
look at a current problem as something that will
always block your success and happiness. Instead,
use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22: Cancer, this week you may
feel an unusual need to be noticed and appreciated
by others. Embrace the spotlight and make the most
of this opportunity to share your thoughts.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20: Capricorn, though you
may feel like lashing out at others, this week you
show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get
through the week, and things will turn around.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23: Leo, you may find it hard to
establish your priorities this week, but you have a
good head on your shoulders and will figure out the
path to take. Give yourself a chance to have fun.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18: The messages you are
receiving from everyone around you seem mottled
and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with
others, maybe you just need some alone time.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22: Virgo, do the right thing
even if it costs you something emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is
learning by your example.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, speak up if you do
not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not
know how you’re feeling.

Shopping parties and why
we need more of them
I
was recently invited, by a friend,
to a shopping party at Sephora
in Halifax. Apparently, anyone
who is a “rouge” member, which
basically means you are a very good
customer, is able to invite one person
to an exclusive shopping party, making me either very privileged or the
only one of many friends who had
nothing to do on a Wednesday night.
Nonetheless, I went to
this shopping party because I was intrigued.
They closed the store to
the public, allowing only
rouge members and their
special invited guests
entrance, and while we
arrived more than 30
minutes before the store
was even open, there were
at least 50 people in line.
We decided to do a bit
of browsing in the mall
while we waited, thinking we weren’t going to
be suckers waiting in line
to spend our hard earned
money. Eventually, excitement got the best of us and we ended
up waiting with the rest of them.
When we finally reached the
door, this very cheerful young lady
checked her clipboard for our names,
and I was actually nervous that
perhaps we weren’t on it. I was actually nervous that we wouldn’t be allowed to go spend our money. It was
a weird feeling. “Welcome ladies,
we’re so excited that you’re here,”
she said. “We have demos, samples,
prizes, drinks and chocolates, and
you’ll receive 20 per cent off.”
I was excited. For what? I wasn’t
sure, but it felt like a big deal.
For the next two hours I watched
demos on how to do things such as
contouring and creating a smoking
eye. We were asked at least a half-adozen times if we needed help or if
we wanted a drink. In the line-up,
which was a mile long, I felt very
satisfied, even though I was buying
something that, before tonight, I wasn’t sure I needed. But here I was, eager
to buy it. But why? Was
it for the 20 per cent off,
which equals little more
than the tax? I wasn’t convinced.
Maybe it was the chocolate, the samples, the
demos, was it the positive
energy. Actually it was all
that together, creating a
fun experience. There are
some local businesses that
have shopping parties,
and I’m going to make a
point to go to them.
I believe we want to
support local businesses. We know
that it’s not only good for our local
economy, but vital for our sustainability. But we also want an experience, we want to have fun, we like
samples, demos, and yes, we’ll take a
percentage off, but we will also take
your chocolate.
Most importantly, it feels good to
be invited, so invite us to a shopping
party. We’ll come. We would enjoy
a snack, maybe a sample or a prize,
but I can almost certainly guarantee
we’ll spend money.
