JEWELLERY AND CRAFTS AT HARVEST FEST TEA
Grannies for Grannies, local crafts, food and tea were on the menu organized by the Lockhartville Womens' Institute of Nova Scotia held during Hantsport's Harvest Fest celebration at Churchill House. For many, it was their first glimpse of the modern kitchen which is to be used for community and private suppers. Others had never been in the Churchill House before. The photos at the bottom of the post were taken during the summer and featured the student guide.
Grannies for Grannies sells donated jewellery to help grannies in Africa who are raising grandchildren orphaned by AIDS.

How to interpret the results?
Several people have commented on Facebook.
Some were simply gut reactions when the votes were counted.
Hantsport councillor and residents need to think.
Sober second thought is needed here.
What is best for the people?
The result need to be interpreted carefully.
They are similar to the ones in Scotland's Referendum. There, 60% voted to stay in the UK but 40% voted to leave.
A victory for one but a wakeup call too.
In Hantsport, the winning candidate's 256 supports Hantsport remaining as a town.
But adding the defeated candidates' support 321, more supported a type of dissolution.
