 At 9:47 Saturday August 4th, Seaside-Fm will be an amazing five years old. Yes, I think it’s amazing. Amazing, that five years have passed by so quickly from that opening day in 2002 and even more amazing that it happened.
The 947 number has another significance. Yes, it was the time (9:47 am) the station went on air in the summer of 2002 but it also represents the frequency, at 94.7 on the fm dial.

Spurred on by our readers’ fury at the lack of decent five day forecasts, Halifax Live is launching a four day battle royal between Canada’s two main weather predicting services. Both have proven to be exceptionally inept this year, and we are therefore determined to find out which one of the two is actually the least competent. In the blue corner we have the Weather Network, owned by Pelmorex which in turn is partially owned by Landmark Communication, and American company that happens to own the American Weather Channel . With its staff of hundreds, it will represent the private, multinational sector. |

To the Editor,
Every day, I go to my computer and click on the Environment Canada website for the five-day forecast. I don't know why I waste the time.
They do have attractive little weather icons, and, well, Canadians really like to talk about the weather. But, it is almost always wrong. About the only thing they get right is the current conditions, and I don't need to go to a website to tell me that. If I want to plan a summer vacation, I may as well throw a dart at a board on the wall to tell what weather to expect in five days, or even tomorrow.

When we hear the word 'bully' we associate the word and the subsequent behaviour to children and teenagers who exert their power over other children in the schoolyard, those they see as weak. But there is another form of bullying that although no more or less damaging, is more difficult to address and to overcome.

Well that was a whole lot of wasted newsprint. I don't know about the rest of you but after slogging my way through the Daily News' second roundtable on racism in Nova Scotia, I came away with the distinct impression that I had just read the transcript of a few white guys having a very polite and nauseatingly politically correct discussion about the financial implications of a social audit. Whatever the hell that means.

The Supreme Court of Canada has issued a wake-up call for municipal councils across the country to conduct their business in open whenever possible.
In a 7-0 ruling, the court ruled that London City Council was wrong to hold a meeting in camera and then hastily pass a vote that put a freeze on a controversial development project. |

 According to Pictou resident Leroy Marshall, the bear gunned down by the local RCMP was only young. Marshall, an experienced woodsman according to an article in the Pictou County News, assessed the bear as around a year old and described him as "peaceful-like".
Early Wednesday morning Marshall was pleasantly surprised to discover he had a visitor in his back yard - the young black bear had meandered into the neighbourhood from the woods nearby. Marshall reported that the bear didn't appear to be aggressive and opined that most bears will not attack humans unless they're feeling threatened by them and proving his point, the young bear just sat in the middle of Marshall's back yard blissfully unaware of his imminent demise by gunshot.
