Lebanese Community Celebrate Arrival in Halifax with New Statue and Bless New Church!
The Halifax Waterfront was busselling with excitement as Halifax’s Lebanese community prepared to unveil a historic statue replicating the first Lebanese settlers’ arrival in Halifax and acknowledging all those who have settled in Nova Scotia since that time.
“This is an exciting and proud day for me and for all of us as we recognize
those original settlers who came here to this harbour with nothing more than the will to make a better life for their families,” said Wadih Fares, a prominent Halifax businessman and the Honourary Consul for Lebanon to the Maritimes. Mr. Fares went on to say, “It represents the love, honour and respect we feel for this great nation that welcomed our ancestors 130 years ago with open arms and provided them freedom and opportunity. This piece of public art is a gift from us to our city, which we love and are blessed to call home!”
In addition to hundreds of people from the Lebanese community, there were numerous dignitaries from all levels of government, including the Honourable Geoff Regan, Speaker of the House of Commons; Premier Stephen MacNeil; two former Lieutenant Governors, Hon. Mayann Francis and the Hon. Myra Freeman; Mayor Michael Savage; Archbishop Anthony Mancini (Halifax to Yarmouth); Father John Williams (Vicar General and Rector of Saint Mary’s Basilica); Cardinal Bechara Boutros Rai, head of Lebanon’s Eastern-rite Maronite Church; numerous priests from the Lebanese community, and many prominent Lebanese business people and developers. Of note was the presence of the Hon. Lena Diab, the Hon. Patricia Arab and the Hon. Zach Churchill, all Ministers in the Nova Scotia Government and all of Lebanese descent.

The Halifax Armdale ReportBy Hon. Lena Metlege Diab, MLA
I would like to first express my deep thanks to all those who reached out to me with their condolences on the passing of my dear father Steven Wadih Metlege. My family and I very much appreciate your sympathies during this difficult time.
I also want to wish a happy Thanksgiving to all the families, friends, and community members who will be coming together to break bread and count their blessings this month. I hope the season is good to you.
Last month, I had the exciting opportunity to announce new clean, renewable energy projects coming to Halifax. Through the province’s Solar Electricity for Community Buildings
Program, three local organizations have been approved to install solar electricity panels, including the Hope for Wildlife Society, Knox United Church, and the Halifax Regional Water Commission. I was particularly glad to see these projects going forward, as solar energy is an important component of Nova Scotia’s cleaner energy future.
September also saw the launch of the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s fundraising campaign for the proposed Halifax Wilderness Park at Williams Lake. Together the NCC, the city, and the Shaw Group are working to secure 379 acres of natural wilderness for Halifax’s newest natural destination. The lands offer a unique setting for Nova Scotians
to enjoy the great outdoors, and I was proud to see the province contribute $1 million in funding towards the campaign.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update on the health front:
The province recently announced the addition of 15 new spaces in Dalhousie University’s specialist residency program. This $1.5 million investment provides specialists with more opportunities to get the training they need. Residents will spend one to five years training in their specialty by doing rotations in various locations across the province. This is an important step, and it will help meet the immediate healthcare needs of Nova
Scotians while ensuring a stable supply of physicians in the future.
Additionally, a new $2.8 million annual investment will be used to fund nine new specialist positions in the province. Recruitment is currently underway to fill positions in critical care, internal medicine, and pediatrics. By adding more specialist physicians to the healthcare system, we can address needs in certain areas, while improving access and reducing wait times for Nova Scotians.
Remember that you can always reach my constituency office at (902) 455-1610 or [email protected]. I thank you for your continued support.

Fulfilling Your Bucket List Travels
We all have a list of places we wish to see ‘someday’. It turns out today’s travelers are changing ‘someday’ into ‘today’ as they increasingly seek new experiences and adventures over the regular vacation routine.
So, what are this year’s popular Bucket List items? The most popular places are Iceland, the Galapagos Islands, France, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Spain, and Portugal. Meanwhile African safaris, hiking Machu Picchu, and camping the Grand Canyon topped some of the more popular experiences.
Cruising and guided tours suited most travel types. With so many options in river boats, ocean liners, and mid-sized ships, there’s a ship and itinerary to match every travel style. Cruising allows travelers to visit more areas in a set time frame; all while being
pampered on ship in between ports.
Guided tours have also come a long way with smaller group options, unique inclusions, remote destinations, along with independent free time to foster individual experiences travelers are seeking.
Not sure where to start when planning your Bucket List vacation? It’s important to think about what you wish to accomplish or see, what your timeframe would be, and most importantly, your realistic travel budget. Attend information sessions, and speak with your travel agent. Travel agents are key in organizing travel. They ensure all details are meticulously arranged; they know the best times to travel, the reputable tour operators, and how to maximize your experience within your travel budget.

What’s the Difference between Public and Private Homecare? By Marie-Claire Chartrand, Greywave Lead Senior Care Consultant
Homecare or home support services are available publicly and privately. Here’s a breakdown of the two:
Public or government-funded homecare is offered through the provincial Continuing Care program. You must apply and be assessed by a care coordinator who determines what homecare services you are eligible for. Anyone can make a referral by calling 1-800-225-7225. You don’t need a doctor to do this.
Continuing Care offers help with: basic housekeeping (2 hours every 2 weeks); personal care (dressing, bathing, incontinent care); respite (a worker stays with your loved one to give the caregiver a break); meal preparation (for someone who cannot heat and serve a premade meal themselves). The maximum number of hours per month is 100-150 hours, depending on whether you are also receiving VON services. How much time is allotted for each task is based on the assessment and policy guidelines. Home support worker visits can be as
short as 30 minutes.
There is no fee if your income (line 236 of your income tax return) is under $20,125 for a single person or $37,209 for a couple. If your income is over that, the fee is $12.45 per hour. There is a monthly maximum you pay depending on your income (ranges from $124.50 to $622.50 a month).
All workers through Continuing Care are bonded, have a criminal record check and must have Continuing Care Assistant training and certification. In Halifax the contracted agencies providing homecare for Continuing Care clients are Red Cross, Northwood, Bayshore, Closing the Gap and CBI.
There are several companies that provide homecare workers. Some of the reasons people choose to hire privately is that they don’t need to undergo an assessment to determine if they are eligible; you simply hire for the hours and days you want. You can request the same worker, although I suggest having at least two in
case one is sick or on vacation, in which case the other one is already familiar with your circumstances. You determine what you want done during the visit, such as cooking, errands, socializing, taking to appointments, or going for a walk.
Costs range from $25 to $30 an hour
and there is usually a 3-hour minimum per shift. You can hire up to 24 hours a day. Some companies provide live-ins at $225 per day (locally known as “The Newfoundland Ladies”). Qualifications and training vary, so you should ask about what training they have.

Lower Sackville Celebrates the Opening of New Bandstand
Lower Sackville has a brand-new addition to the community – the Charles Fenerty bandstand.
On a recent sunny Saturday afternoon, hundreds of people of all ages attended the opening of the new bandstand, which included live music and performances, a free BBQ, popcorn, face-painting, and bouncy castles.
The bandstand, located at Acadia Park on Sackville Drive, was “made possible by provincial and municipal government funding, as well as a sizable bequest from community member Reg Fenerty,” says Linda Hefler, director and bookings manager of Acadia Recreation Club.
Fenerty was the treasurer of the Acadia Recreation Club for many years. He loved Acadia Park and knew the bandstand was important for the park and the community. The bandstand is named after Fenerty’s ancestor, Charles Fenerty, who was born in Middle Sackville and went on to become an accomplished man in many ways – as an inventor, poet, church warden and civic official.
Built between May and September of this year, the bandstand is owned, managed, and maintained by Acadia Recreation Club, a non-profit group established in 1924 and run by a dedicated, hardworking and enthusiastic board of directors. The group hopes that the community will use the bandstand for a wide variety of events.
“We hope anyone who wishes to play music, act, read poetry, or do just about anything, will use the bandstand,” says Hefler. All events at the bandstand must be not-for-profit events and must also be free to the public. The bandstand is also available for community fundraisers.
Upcoming events include a jazz festival on October 13, and the Sackville Tree Lighting on November 30.
For more details on the bandstand check Acadia Hall on Facebook or acadiahall.ca.
First Halifax Chinese Festival a Huge Success!By Bruce Holland
2018 marks the 1st Halifax Chinese Festival which ran over a two-week
period featuring all kinds of events and activities, starting with the opening night Gala Performance at the Rebeca Cohn Auditorium featuring a variety of performers direct from China. Performances included acrobatics, dancers, opera singers and more, all from China.
The evening began with the cutting of the ribbon to officially open the festival by numerous dignitaries, including Mayor Savage, the president of Saint Mary’s University, Dr. Robert Summerby-Murray, several Chinese dignitaries, and the festival organizing committee members.
This mid-autumn holiday in China is one of the most important Chinese holidays of the year dating back around 3000 years. The festival was a time to enjoy the successful reaping of rice and wheat with food offerings made in honour of the moon. Today, it is still an occasion for outdoor reunions among friends and relatives to eat mooncakes and watch the moon, a symbol of harmony and unity.
Over the next several weeks there were a variety of open houses and workshops around the city where people could learn about Chinese culture, food, games and music. The
event ended with a huge Chinese Cultural Day on the Halifax Waterfront, which featured numerous local Chinese musicians and dancers and lots of Chinese food, games and activities.
The organizing committee would like to thank all of the sponsors, too many to name here, for their generous support in making this first Chinese festival such a huge success.
Wishing all of our Chinese friends a happy, healthy, festive year!

Grand Opening of Susan’s Jewellery ‘n Things at Glen Arbour!By Andy de Champlain
After a decade operating out of the Halifax Infirmary downtown, Susan Boutilier
has decided to open a bigger store out in Hammonds Plains; she opened doors on September 15th.
The Grand Opening will take place on Saturday, October 13th, from 10am to 6pm at the new location in Glen Arbour, at 2069 Hammonds Plains Rd.
“I sell jewellery, I don’t know anything about floors,” Susan told me after a morning of coping with some construction workers, who apparently had to come in and seal the floors. She’d had to move all her stock out for the day for the renovation.
In fact Susan’s Jewellery ‘n Things offers
more than jewellery. She carries purses, scarves and an assortment of other accoutrements. And some of these things you can get for free, if you come to the Grand Opening.
“We’re going to have a draw,” she said. As people show up, they’ll put their names in a box, and at least six names will be drawn to win prizes from Susan’s suppliers.
Susan said “we’ve already had a great response,” and that they’re still just “flying by the seat of our pants.” Such is the nature of starting up, or expanding a business.
On behalf of Parkview News and the
community, Susan, congratulations on your expansion and good luck at your new location!

Paying Tribute to a Great Man!By Bruce Holland
When the Honourable Lena Metlege Diab rose in the Nova Scotia Legislature recently to announce the passing of her esteemed father, Steven Wadih Metlege, you could see the sorrow on her face, but you could hear the pride in her voice, knowing that she is the daughter of a great man!
Mr. Metlege emigrated from Diman, Lebanon in 1956 as a hard-working young man with the love of God, family, and a pioneer’s spirit. He married the love of his life Houda, and for 54 years they built and raised a strong, confident, and passionate family, rarely leaving each other’s sides. His good deeds and charitable giving will forever be remembered.
When I asked Lena what she remembers her father for most, she said, “He was a visionary, constantly planning his next project. He loved to be at the jobsite watching cement, concrete, mortar, and bricks grow into homes, community
centres, and places of worship. His greatest vision and joy, however, was watching his family grow and keeping them close to him.” Lena told me he never missed a milestone and would have his six children, 17 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren over for lunch every Sunday after mass.
Lena went on to tell me, “My Dad’s smile and optimism were infectious. His strength and confidence in life and God will guide all those who loved him. It is with the same spirit of my dad that I will continue to live and serve in honour of his memory.”
Now I have known the Honourable Lena for a long time, back when she was a young lawyer and I was a young man working in the Attorney General’s Department. Back when we were both getting our political feet wet, so to speak, and in more recent years I have followed her political career very closely and we have become very good friends. There is an old saying that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” when you are talking about sons and daughters. When it comes to Lena and her father this could not be truer! Lena is a hardworking visionary who loves her family and has a charitable heart.
The true legacy of a man can be seen in those he leaves behind, and when it comes to Steven Wadih Metlege, he has left behind a large beautiful family that he could be very proud of !
So, let’s all pay tribute to a great man who helped build our city and our province into the great place it is today!
Steven Wadih Metlege, 15 April 1932 - 29 August 2018
JJ ROOTS Wins Overall Folk/Americana Duo/Group of the Year at the 2018 JOSIE Music Awards in Tennessee! By Bruce Holland
The Josie Music Awards packed the Celebrity Theater in Dollywood, Tennessee for an incredible weekend of independent music and breathtaking performances. Among those in attendance, nominated for the “Overall Folk/Americana Duo/Group of the Year Award” were local Halifax artists Jocelyn Parlee and Jeff Scott Gray who make up the exciting performing duo “JJ ROOTS”.
Jocelyn was born in Nova Scotia and spent much of her youth in orchestra pits. She battled it out for first-string positions and enjoyed playing and connecting with the beautiful violin pieces of her favourite composers.
After years of traveling and in orchestras she returned home, where her artistically gifted mother filled life with the colourful and soulful tapestries of musical storytelling legends such as Cash, Kristofferson and Dylan.
At the heart of Jocelyn’s inner passion to develop her own unique vocals, were the legendary influences of female vocalists from Patsy Cline to Aretha Franklin, to today’s incredible artists like Adel and Carrie Underwood.
In September of 2017, after returning from the Josie Music Awards in Nashville, Jocelyn joined forces with friend and
co-writer Jeff Scott Gray, to form the performance duo JJ ROOTS.
“Singing and Songwriting has always been a passion for me that began as a child. I believe my life’s musical journey has led me to this pivotal moment in joining forces with Jeff. We are proudly creating songs in a uniquely blended tapestry of genres,” said Jocelyn when asked about winning the award.
Known for his diverse and powerful guitar showmanship, Jeff Scott Gray was born in San Diego and spent his formative musical years in Alabama and Massachusetts before moving to Nova Scotia. Listening and learning from the music of Motown and Sly and the Family Stone, these early roots were shaken when Jeff discovered rock music.
Jeff ’s musical journey is unusual in that he spent his professional career as a bank
executive while maintaining his official garage band superstar status!
When asked how he enjoys performing with Jocelyn, Jeff said, “It is clear to me that my life’s musical journey has been preparing me for this shining moment partnering with Jocelyn. Every sliver of my rock, metal and acoustic roots are coming into their own with our music!” Since their CD launch in April, 2018, JJ ROOTS has exploded on the East Coast music scene and shows no sign of slowing down. They continue to grow a committed fanbase as well as adding dates by popular demand to their 2018/19 “Boxcars & Memoirs” tour.
But don’t take my word for it! Check out what fans are saying about JJ ROOTS on their Facebook page and the website Fan Reviews page – www.jjroots.com .

1. A Will lets YOU control how your estate will be distributed upon your death. If you die without a Will, provincial legislation will dictate how your estate is to be distributed and there is no guarantee that your intended wishes will be carried out.
2. A Will allows you to appoint a guardian who can step in to take care of your minor children in the event
of your death (and where there is no other suitable parent who can take on that responsibility).
3. You can set conditions in a Will which determine how old your children (or grandchildren) must be before they can inherit from your estate, and any additional conditions that you think would be appropriate in relation to a minor’s inheritance.
4. If you do not have a Will and you are in a common law relationship and do not have a registered Domestic Partnership (pursuant to provincial legislation in Nova Scotia), your common law spouse could potentially be left without any of your estate. Having a Will helps to ensure your common law spouse inherits from
your estate (if that is your intention).
5. Having a Will allows you to document your final wishes, which can give you peace of mind and may also help to minimize conflict amongst family members after your death.
6. Having a Will in place often saves time and money upon your death. It may help to alleviate stress and make the process easier for your grieving family members.
7. Having a Will may help to avoid unnecessary delays in settling your estate after your death.
8. You can use a Will to set out your burial and funeral instructions.
9. Having a Will allows you to decide who will manage your estate after your death. Appointing an executor is important as your executor will play a big role in the administration of your estate.
10. Having a Will prepared by a lawyer is not as expensive as you might think. As of 2018, a basic, individual Will can cost as little as $300 at O’Keefe Law, or just $240 if prepared as part of a spousal package.
Cassandra Taylor is a lawyer with O’Keefe Law and Wills & Estates is one of the areas of her practice. For more information, please contact her at 902-431-7019 or via email at [email protected].

October Update – Sackville-Preston-ChezzetcookBy Darrell J. Samson, MP
Dear friends,
As you probably know, the House of Commons fall session has started, so I will be spending the majority of the time in Ottawa until the Christmas break in December. Please know that my staff in the constituency office are available to help with any matters, and they give me daily updates on what is happening in your community.
Irving Shipyard TourLast month, veterans from the five legions in Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook, including Calais Branch 162 in Lower Sackville, were invited to join me on a tour of the Irving Shipbuilding facility in Halifax. While
the facility is physically located in Halifax, it is truly a Nova Scotian operation. They currently employ 2200 workers at an average annual salary of $72,000. That includes 430 employees from Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook – 20% of the overall workforce!
Irving Shipyard has many programs to support people who may not otherwise have an opportunity to work in the industry. Please take a moment to visit www.shipsforcanada.ca/our-stories and scroll through to find stories on training and career opportunities for veterans, indigenous students, women in metal trades, and many others.
Thank you to the veterans who accepted the invitation to take this tour and to Irving Shipyard for accommodating us with such professionalism. It was a fascinating experience to see the amazing efficiencies being used in such a clean and safe work environment!
Watch for my newsletter!The quarterly update from my office will be delivered to every household in the riding this month. This issue includes a recap of many summer events, important updates for veterans, seniors, Pharmacare, and so much more. There is also a “Focus on Families” with information on the Canada Child Benefit, the National Housing Strategy, the Canada Workers benefit, increases to the Guaranteed Income Supplement, and the new National Poverty Reduction Strategy.
This also has a feedback section, where you can mail your comments or concerns directly to us (no postage required). As your Member of Parliament, I am your representative in Ottawa, so it is important that I understand your concerns and
opinions on federal matters. Please take the time to complete it and send it back to us.
Youth Council Now that students and teachers are back in school, we are recruiting high school students for our Youth Council again. Our future is in the hands our young people, and it is crucial that we provide opportunities for them to understand the political process, our democracy, how laws are made, etc. The Youth Council for Sackville-Preston-Chezzetcook is an opportunity for students in the riding to get engaged with the politics in a non-partisan setting, follow and debate issues that are important to them, and actually make a difference!
We will be changing the format this year to better accommodate the geography of the riding. We also want to hear from the
students on any recommendations they may have that will make this experience the most beneficial for them. Please encourage any high school students you may know to watch for notices in their school, or have them contact us directly at [email protected] to get engaged now.
Darrell visiting the Irving Shipyard with veterans from the riding.
Councillor Steve Craig and Darrell joined other participants in the Bike-Your-Riding challenge last month, starting from Acadia Park, to First Lake Park, along Sackville Lakes Trails, and finishing at Fultz House Tea for a well deserved lunch.

People of the Community: Bretton Loney, Local AuthorBy Andy de Champlain
Bretton Loney has a way with words.
I started reading his newest novel, The Last Hockey Player a couple weeks ago, and I couldn’t put it down. Set in a post-plague future, the story follows key characters in a small community struggling to survive, years after the crumbling of society.
The idea for the story came to Bretton in a dream while he was on vacation in Cuba, he told me. It started as a short story, but with encouragement from friends and family, he turned it into a novel. And what a novel! At times comical despite the all-too-plausible and frightening context, it’s the most Canadian piece of literature I’ve ever come across.
I interviewed Bretton after reading. I asked him how long he’d been living in the community. “My wife Karen and I have lived in our current home, just off Farmingham Gate, for 15 years,” he said. “Prior to that we lived in St. John’s Newfoundland for 11 years and before that we lived on Willett Street for many years. So in total we’ve lived in Clayton Park for 20 years and boy it has ever changed!”
Breton’s been working in communications with the provincial government for 14 years. “Before that I was a newspaper reporter, editor and columnist at The
Chronicle Herald, the Daily News and The Telegram in St. John’s.”
I wanted to know about his future writing projects. “I already have plans for my next novel, which will also be set in Nova Scotia, but which will be a dramatically different novel in terms of style, characters and subject than the one I just published. Not better or worse, just totally different. I like to keep trying new things. Watch for my new book in three to five years’ time.”
The Last Hockey Player is available through Amazon, Kobo, iBooks as well as at Chapters in Bayers Lake, Coles-Scotia Square, and Carrefour Atlantic. Of course, it’ll also available to a selection of writers/photographers who participate in the Parkview News Photo and Writing Contest (see page 2).
Thank you, Bretton Loney, for sharing your story and your novel with me. It’s a masterful piece of writing!

Ten Principles for Living in Retirement
Like everyone, you hope for a comfortable retirement. That’s why you should put money away for your retirement. But once you reach retirement, which financial and investment strategies should you follow to help yourself enjoy the lifestyle you’ve envisioned?
You may want to consider these 10 principles to serve as a roadmap on your journey toward retirement:
1. Map out your goals. Although the word “retirement” means something different to each person, everyone shares the need to enter retirement with a strategy in place. Accordingly, you’ll find it helpful to write down what you want to do in retirement. Then you can determine how you’ll pay for it. As a starting point, list all your income sources (such as your RRSP and other savings) and your expenses (such as mortgage, utilities, food and travel).
2. Plan for a long and fulfilling retirement. You could spend decades in retirement. Keep this type of longevity in mind when you create investment
strategies for your retirement.
3. Start smart with your spending. Obviously, you don’t want to outlive your resources, but withdrawing too much in the early years of retirement could put you in a difficult position down the road.
4. Inflation doesn’t retire. If you spend 25 years in retirement, prices could more than double, assuming a 3% annual inflation rate. Investments with growth potential can help fight inflation. That’s why you might find it’s important to own equity investments, even in retirement.
5. Prepare for the unexpected. Unexpected financial issues relating to your family or health can crop up during your retirement years. To prepare for them, make sure you have set aside adequate “cash” reserves. If the market has a few bad years early in retirement, you can withdraw money from cash and short-term securities rather than your investment principal.
6. Don’t “reach” for yield. To boost your cash flow, you might think about investing in high-yield bonds or in stocks that promise abnormally high dividends. Try to resist this temptation – you can find other, more prudent investment strategies for adding to your income during your retirement years.
7. Maintain a healthy portfolio.
Healthcare costs are a major concern for retirees. Take steps, such as exercising and maintaining a healthy diet, to keep yourself in good shape. At the same time, strive to maintain adequate health insurance.
8. Keep retirement from being taxing. Many retirees have investments in both registered and non-registered accounts. There should be a strategy in place to withdraw from these accounts in a tax-efficient manner. To manage your tax situation effectively, consult with a tax advisor.
9. Define your legacy. Work with a
qualified legal advisor to make sure your estate plans and the appropriate documents and arrangements – beneficiaries, will, power of attorney, etc. – are up to date. A proper estate plan can help ensure your wishes are carried out exactly as you intended.
10. Remember your annual check-up. Consult with your financial advisor at least once a year to make sure your investment strategies are still on track.
As you near retirement, or if you’ve just retired, put these principles to work. It will take some time – but it’s worth the effort.
