JURY from A1

Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin, Wednesday, March 26, 2014 www.southshorenow.ca

BRIDGEWATER - Bridge-

water Police responded to a collision on the corner of

Dominion and King Streets

March 23 after a pickup truck

hit a building.

Chief John Collyer says a

72-year-old man, from Bridge-

water, was travelling east- bound down Dominion Street and went through a stop sign. "What it looks like right now is that he had some sort of medical episode. That ap- pears to be the cause of the accident at this point it time," says Chief Collyer. "He was taken to South Shore Regional

Hospital for examination. He

had no physical injuries that

I'm aware of, but obviously

there was some concerns for him."The collision was reported to police around 8:10 p.m. It happened at 622 King Street at

D And Company Hair Studio

owned by Deanna Nowe. "A friend of mine called me and said there was a truck sit- ting in the front of the shop," says Ms Nowe.

Fire crews were removing

the truck from the building when she arrived at the scene.

As for appointments at the

salon she says, "We're going to try and reschedule everybody for next week and hope for the best."

Gary Ramey owns the

building and says the hope is to get everything fixed as soon as possible so the hair salon can continue with business as usual. He says, "You can fix a building" and he's more concerned about the man's health.

COUNTY - A West North-

field man will spend a year on probation after admitting he broke into a string of cottages last year.

That's part of a suspend-

ed sentence which Christian

Kevin Emino received March

19 in Bridgewater provincial

court.Mr. Emino, 20, admitted breaking into five cottages in Union Square on March

21, 2013. The properties were

located on Van't Hof Lane,

Lower Cabin Road and Os-

borne Road.

While on probation, he

must stay away from those addresses and anyone with a criminal record. He was also ordered to take counselling as directed.

COUNTY - The Municipality of Lunenburg fa-

vours a Veinotte Road public access point to one of the province's largest lakes.

Civic politicians recently agreed

by motion to pursue using that New- burne area provincial road as the "preferred" method of achieving public access to Sherbrooke Lake once the issue is moved to the "now" category in the municipality's open space plan. Currently, it's in the "next" column.

The municipality is the listed

owner of a right-of-way extending to the lake from the end of the Vei- notte Road. Councillors liked using the word "preferred" in the motion in an effort to not limit their options.

Two speakers who addressed council on the

topic, before the motion passed, seemed to advise politicians to be both cautious and open concern- ing access to Sherbrooke Lake.

Lennis Corkum urged councillors to be aware

of potential impacts on taxpayers, suggesting the municipality clear up any land "legalities" before making future investments concerning Veinotte Road.

Maplewood resident Larry Hagell reaffirmed

his stance of support for public access, noting the access should be via a public right-of-way and not impede the existing lifestyle of property owners in the area. He's sure there's an option that works for everyone and wants council to consider the potential ad- ditional properties. "I do not believe enough time has been spent to explore all of the options," Mr. Hagell said in his presentation.

The municipality owns

three pieces of land off pri- vate roads in the Sherbrooke

Lake area, none of which are

waterfront lots. Private road landowners and road main- tenance organizations don't support use of such roads to get to those properties.

Sherbrooke Lake public access is part of ongo-

ing, at times emotional, debate concerning access to bodies of water and discussions about dozens of publicly-owned properties located off private roads that were acquired via the subdivision bylaw. The municipality plans to establish a divestiture policy this year, which some politicians think will clarify the issue.

LUNENBURG - Council here is going to explore

the possibilities of calling tenders for certain exter- nal services.

The issue arose when Deputy Mayor Danny

Croft sent a memo to his council

colleagues to see if there was inter- est in obtaining quotes for legal, auditing and any other outside ser- vices the town currently utilizes. "There may not be a desire to change who we currently use but it might surprise us what prices we obtain and, who knows, we may even get better pricing," the deputy mayor wrote.

During discussion on the pro-

posal, Councillor Tyler Hayden said he thought the suggestion "is a great idea" and "should be part of our mandate every X-number of years. "To get that kind of data, not necessarily from just a cost savings standpoint, but as services begin to change, I think that people who can provide a better competitive view as to how we run our communities, is better," he said. "They acquire new people to their firms and end up getting more expert advice."

Councillor John McGee, however, questioned the

wisdom of having to "start all over again" with a new legal or accounting firm when the ones cur- rently on retainer are so familiar with the town's operations. "It's so easy for them to do it now, they have all the history," he said. "So it's the continuity that makes it difficult for us to do it. I agree that maybe we should do it in five years, but I certainly wouldn't want to see us do it every year, you know, change firms every few years based on price. I think that would be a di- saster."

Councillor Peter Zwicker said

that while there is some value in loyalty, "we need to know what the marketplace is charging for certain services."

Mayor Rachel Bailey said coun-

cil should clarify exactly what services they are talking about before proceeding.

She said that while legal and auditing are obvi-

ously the two biggest, "I don't know what other kind of services that there are that we would look at for this."

Council ultimately agreed to request a copy of

the town solicitor's fee schedule and earlier rate adjustment information, and to ask finance and accounting director Elana Wentzell to prepare a report on possible audit and bank tenders and a logical time frame to do this.

COUNTY - The South Shore is bracing for yet

another Wednesday snowstorm.

At deadline, Environment Canada was predict-

ing the probability of a winter storm striking the province on March 26. "A very intense low pressure system is forecast to track near Nova Scotia on Wednesday. Very strong winds and significant snowfall are expected with this system. "The snow is forecast to begin Wednesday morn- ing and be heavy at times. The snow is forecast to change to rain in the afternoon over the eastern half of the mainland and Cape Breton but then change back to snow Wednesday night. The snow is expected to taper off by Thursday morning. Strong winds are forecast to develop ahead of the system on Wednesday and persist as the system pulls away

Thursday. The strong winds and snow will cause

reduced visibility in blowing snow. "Although there is still considerable uncertainty with respect to exact snowfall amounts, computer models are consistently indicating significant ac- cumulations. There is good potential for parts of the province to see total snowfall accumulations exceeding 25 centimetres with this system."

Environment Canada was expected to issue a

more detailed forecast on Tuesday and said that warnings would likely be issued at that time.

The Weather Network reported on Monday af-

ternoon that the storm is bringing back memories of a major snow event which hit eastern Canada in

February 2004 that was dubbed "White Juan," in

reference to Hurricane Juan which came ashore at

Halifax the previous September causing millions

of dollars in damage.

That storm dumped upwards of 100 centimetres

on some areas of the province, whipped by heavy winds, that literally tied up traffic for days.

The network reported that while similar, Wednes-

day's storm is developing sooner and will be mov- ing more quickly, however snowfall amounts of up to 70 centimetres would not be out of the question.
