At Digby, the Shelburne Rebels won their first Division 3 provincial banner in the 41years since NSSAF has been keeping statistics, overthrowing 2009 winner Springhill 66-60. Katie Locke scored 28 points for the Rebels while Brittany Barton had 20 for the top-seeded Golden Eagles. It was a particularly special victory for the girls as they had dedicated their games to the late Phil Callan, the program’s coach for 15 years who fell victim to cancer in November. In a symbolic gesture, the girl’s presented Phil’s wife, Sharon, with one of their gold medals. The girls were met in Shelburne by the Boy’s Senior Team who came in third in Provincials, the RCMP, three fire trucks and over 50 vehicles filled with jubilant supports for a motorcade through town. Well done! | | |

Last night Barrington High had its “BMHS Lobster Chowder Community Dinner” to celebrate and recognize local heritage, history and culture. On the menu was a choice of lobster or fish chowder, homemade breads and rolls and pie for dessert. Opening remarks were delivered by Sterling Belliveau, Minister of Fisheries. A traditional wooden lobster pot was built by Doward Cameron during the supper, and raffled off at the end of the evening. Story telling of the fishery, then and now, by Davis Nickerson of Woods Harbour took place, and lobster gear, duck decoys, pictures, and more were on display. Approximately 100 people had a fantastic evening in fellowship. Special thanks to all the supporters and contributors, especially Phoebe Cameron, Christy McKelvie, Francine Hopkins, Melanie LeBlanc, Stella Nickerson, Sandra LeMoine, Doward Cameron, Billy Symonds, Jacob Symonds, Izetta Foster et al! Proceeds from the event will be donated to the IWK childrens hospital and the BMHS Breakfast program.

Soon after the devastating earthquake struck Haiti, staff and students at ERMES began planning ways they could help with the relief efforts being carried out there. The school’s fundraising efforts began with a frozen yogurt sale. On the last Friday of February, “Snuggle-A-Book Day For Haiti” was held throughout the school. Students and staff came dressed in their pajamas ready for a day of reading. Teachers conducted various reading activities in their classes. Snuggling down with a stuffed animal and a good friend to read a book, reading with a book buddy, listening while a guest shared a book, and Readers’ Theater were but a few of the ways Snuggle A Book Day were carried out. ERMES raised a total of $1290 for Haiti. | | |
