HOME AT LAST Submitted Article
Sweetie Pie is scratching at the door waiting to be
let in. The calico cat is Faye Power’s “baby”and has
been her constant companion for the past 10 years.
When Faye applied to become a tenant in one of
the barrier-free units at Riverside Estates her main
concern was whether Sweetie Pie would be wel-
come in the new housing development on Hope
Lane. She was relieved to hear her beloved cat
could indeed join her in the move.
The first thing you notice about Faye when you meet
her is her smile, which is ever present. According to
her mother Eileen, it is that smile and Faye’s posi-
tive attitude toward her disability that have helped
them both accept Faye’s new reality following her
stroke 27 years ago.
Faye had just graduated with a BSc in Biology from
St. Francis Xavier University in 1989 when an aneu-
rysm, followed by a stroke three days later,
changed the course of her life. She couldn’t
speak or walk. Faye spent two years in a reha-
bilitation centre in Halifax before returning to
Mulgrave, her home town, to live with her moth-
er. Then in 1997, they moved to Antigonish.
Being “joined at the heart,” Eileen was reluctant
to move Faye into a nursing home so they lived
together in a small apartment. Eventually Faye
wanted to live on her own and moved into an
apartment with the help of her mother and daily
Home Care Services.
Faye says she spent 10 years in “la-la-land”
before she felt “sane again.” Using a wheelchair
or a cane, she worked hard to regain her voice
and physical mobility. Her neurosurgeon told
Faye she had one of most complicated cases
he’d ever seen. CONTINUED PAGE 7

Kingfisher Days Opens at Festival Antigonish
Antigonish, NS (July 19, 2017) – After the sold-out success of last week’s
opening of The Hound of the Baskervilles, Festival Antigonish Summer The-
atre continues its repertory season with Kingfisher Days, by Susan Coyne,
opening tomorrow on the Main Stage.
Directed by Mary Vingoe, and featuring Francine Deschepper, Jennifer Rob-
erts, and Hugh Thompson, this play is based on the highly-acclaimed mem-
oir by Coyne. It takes the audience back to a simpler time with the heart-
warming story of young Susan who would write letters to an imaginary fairy
at her family cottage. Her elderly neighbor, Mr. Moir, played by Thompson,
decides to act as a scribe for both Susan and the fairy, and the play unfolds
through a series of letters between them that lead to a poignant friendship
and remind us to take the time to enjoy fleeting moments.
Artistic Director Andrea Boyd says she is excited for the play to open. “This
is the perfect play for summer theatre. It is funny, nostalgic, and charming
all at once. Coyne is a gifted writer who was named to the Order of Canada
just a few weeks ago. To have her play, and to produce it with such a talent-
ed group of actors and designers is a rare treat. I am looking forward to
sharing this play with our audiences”.
Kingfisher Days opens on July 20th, with a pay-what-you-can preview show
on July 19th. Shows start at 8 pm at the Bauer Theatre, located on the cam-
pus of StFX University in Antigonish.
Keeping with the theme of the story, this is a short play with no intermis-
sion, allowing patrons to exit the theatre early and enjoy the remainder of
the evening with their family and friends. The Green Room bar at the Bauer
Theatre will feature specialty cocktails and will be open every night for min-
gling with the cast and team after the performance.
Also running on the Main Stage is The Hound of the Baskervilles, a rollick-
ing spoof of the beloved Sherlock Holmes mystery. Directed by Boyd, it fea-
tures Christian Murray, Hugh Thompson, and Jeremy Webb in a fast-paced
madcap adventure that is gathering rave reviews after opening week.
Opening next week on the Family Stage is Martha, a charming award-
winning play from Scotland, that will delight the young and the young-at-
heart alike. Directed by Richie Wilcox, and featuring Sansom Marchand and
Naomi Vogt, this play is a beautiful story about friendship with original mu-
sic and enchanting puppetry. Martha runs from July 25 – August 5, 10 am
daily, also at the Bauer Theatre.

support of its funding partners and sponsors, including Main Stage Co-
Sponsors – MacLeod Group and Atlantic Windows – and Family Stage spon-
sor East Coast Credit Union.

The way the blood clot behind her eye entered her brain meant that she
would have scattered functioning.
One of the functions Faye didn’t lose was her ability to express herself crea-
tively through painting and photography, favourite hobbies before the
stroke. She knew the creative side of her brain was affected, but found the
other side compensated so she could continue to pursue her passions. The
walls of her new apartment are covered with Faye’s artwork.
After three months in residence, Faye is happy to be living at Riverside Es-
tates. “No one has ever paid so much attention to the housing needs of
people with disabilities before,” she said. “It is like it was built especially for
me. Everything in the apartment is so accessible. I have privacy. I’m not
frightened anymore. There is never a problem with noise so I can sleep. I’m
also grateful for Carleton, the Community Navigator, who comes by to see
how I’m doing.”
Carleton MacNeil was hired by the Antigonish Affordable Housing Society to
help its tenants access programs and services, and to support them in
building a community together. He has noticed a big change in Faye since
she moved in. “The first day she came to see the place she was too scared
to move out of her mother’s car. All she wanted to know is whether there
would be a place for her cat. She is a different person now. She is walking
around more without a cane, doing things for herself, and you can see she
is happier, more content,” he said.
Faye’s move to Riverside Estates has not only made a big difference in her
life, it has given her mother Eileen peace of mind. She knows she doesn’t
have to worry about her daughter anymore. “Seeing Faye so content is a
dream come true after 27 years,” she said. “She has found a home where
she feels safe and secure. I can sleep at night now. And I know if some-
thing happens to me, she’s part of a community where she will be looked
after.”
It appears Sweetie Pie is also happy with her new accommodations and
has already made friends with the neighbourhood cats. For Faye, Riverside
Estates is the first place she says she can truly call “home.”
Riverside Estates is an initiative of the Antigonish Affordable Housing Socie-
ty. The first four units were completed and occupied in April 2017. Another
10 units are planned once funding is secured.

Since the Chedabucto Curling Club’s beginning in
1963, the volunteer-run society has provided recrea-
tional opportunities for many curlers and remains a
viable location for curling opportunities and commu-
nity activities. CAS has embarked on its expansion/
renovation project to expand the facility with a new
mudroom entrance, change area and wheelchair-
accessible washrooms. CAS also plans to remove its
existing washrooms, upgrade its electrical system,
replace internal doors, modernize its kitchen and bar
plus add insulation and siding to its ice-area’s exteri-
or walls. (Updates on CAS’s expansion/renovation

Conference Marks the Beginning of a New Partnership
Between 4-H Nova Scotia and StFX University. Event
Benefits Greatly from Extension Department Support. Submitted Article
The StFX 4-H Society is coming off a tremendous high after hosting its first
successful “Leadership Development Conference” focusing on one of 4-H
Canada’s Leadership Development Pillars. The theme of this year’s confer-
ence was “Sustainable Food and Agriculture” and was held June 27- 29,
2017. The Society worked collaboratively with 4-H Nova Scotia and St. Fran-
cis Xavier University in a new partnership to welcome 45 youth, ages 13-18,
to Antigonish.
The conference was open to both 4-H’ers and non-members alike with rep-
resentation from each of the four Atlantic provinces. While on campus, the
students were given a real “university experience” – staying in residence,
eating with
friends at meal
hall, and meet-
ing with StFX
students, facul-
ty, and staff
throughout.

Highlights of the conference include:
Cooking for the Future:
Upon their arrival, delegates were first tasked with making the meal for the
opening banquet. Participants were introduced to several Human Nutrition
and Sociology faculty and were challenged on where exactly many of the
foods they have come to know and love actually come from, and the envi-
ronmental and social impact some of these foods have on our society.
Many student’s remarked that this was their first time being able to actively
participate in preparing a meal and that they felt a sense of pride in having
had a part in making the meal shared later in the evening with invited
guests.
Welcome Dinner:
After a busy afternoon of mashing potatoes and preparing broth, delegates
were able to finally enjoy their homemade shepherd’s pie and chicken stew.
Sitting amongst the delegates were representatives of the local and provin-
cial 4-H body, StFX 4-H Society members, StFX faculty, and many invited
sponsors and engaged community partners. Dr. Kent MacDonald, president
of StFX brought
greetings on
behalf of the
university while

leadership skills

communities.
Growing Local
at Martha’s
Garden:
Day two began
with delegates
boarding the
StFX bus and
heading to the
Martha’s Gar-
den in collabo-
ration with the
Sisters of Saint
Martha and the
Martha’s New
Growers pro-
gram. Here
students were
divided into
small groups and rotated through various stations focused on Atlantic farm-
ing practices. These included organic vegetable growing, beef and dairy
production, and beekeeping. The Sisters also shared their stories from
when the farm served to feed the initiatives of the organization, including
the local hospital. Delegates were especially enthused when discussing how
the chickens were prepared in earlier times and the labour intensity of the
farm work conducted by the Sisters.
Hunger Banquet:
After exciting adventures at Bethany, delegates were soon reminded of their
global privilege. Instead of receiving lunch upon their arrival, participants
were given one of four different coloured tickets. Each ticket representing a
portion of the world’s population. A lucky five were selected as being mem-

bers of the upper class and sat at a table fully set and catered by a local
restaurant. Another five were assembled to be a part of the middle-income
group and sat at a plain table with no settings and were given a fast food
meal. The remaining participants sat on the floor with half receiving rice and
beans, while the other half were given only rice. These two groups repre-
sented the global poor and the reality that most people on Earth have very
limited incomes and experience a high degree of food insecurity.
Following the meal pizza was provided to the delight of many in attendance
who feared they would have to go the rest of the afternoon without!
Amazing Green Race:
In place of a traditional campus tour, faculty and staff of various depart-
ments were stationed at strategically located points on campus and acted
as clue holders. Delegates moved from place to place on campus, followed
by the clues from the previous station. This allows participants to be intro-
duced to the physical aspects of campus, including the sustainable initia-
tives being undertaken by the university in its learning spaces, and be intro-
duced to the faculty of many unique programs within each department. One
of the stops along the way included the solar panels mounted on the roof of
the Bloomfield Centre allowing each person to scale the roof and see the
campus from a very different point of view!
Self-Actualization and Sustainability Leadership:
After a busy day outdoors, organizers and delegates alike were please to
spend the evening listening to the keynote address of Frank Gallant and
Veronika Brant. The pair discussed in depth the importance of self-
actualization, goal setting, and independent thinking while relating it to their
own experiences and perseverance in their gardening and working lives.
Learn to Lead by Leading – McKenna Centre for Leadership:
In partnership with the McKenna Centre for Leadership, members of the
StFX 4-H Society organized activities and facilitated discussions that helped
conference delegates put together the pieces gathered over the previous
two days and create a plan for how they will improve and exercise their own
leadership in their home communities. These activities began with the indi-
vidual and outlined each person’s assets and strengths. Each individual was
then asked to set goals for themselves aligning with their club, their commu-
nity, and their country – a key element of the 4-H program. Participants
were then moved into groups based on their home location and asked to
create regional goals that they could fulfill together when they return home.
These “regional declarations” were then collected and will be sent to each
member later in the summer to remind them of their commitment to take
the conference home.
Initial feedback from conference delegates, organizers, and stakeholders
has been extremely positive with many indicating an interest of returning in
following years to StFX for the Leadership Development Conference.
A 2018 conference is already in the works and will focus on Community
Engagement and Communication. This theme comes at an important time
for StFX as 2018 also marks the 100th anniversary of the Antigonish Move-
ment and the 90th anniversary of the Extension Department. Such an event
will fit nicely with broader university-wide celebrations.
The StFX 4-H Society looks forward to offering additional leadership opportu-
nities to youth throughout Atlantic Canada and beyond through the continu-
ous develop and support of the Leadership Development Conference. The
Society also acknowledges the tremendous support of faculty advisor and
Conference Co-Chair Dr. Norine Verberg, Nova Scotia Department of Agricul-
ture staff, Antigonish Leader’s Council, 4-H Nova Scotia, StFX University, and
the many donors who made this event possible. The efforts of these groups
have been enjoyed by many from across the Atlantic region.
