Date: 12/8/2004 Name: Darcie Birdsell Location: Regina Saskatchewan E-Mail: dbirdsell@sasktel.net Comments: Visited Yarmouth briefly in 1993 when I had been living in
Fredericton. Was taken by the people and the piers. I've always wanted
to return to visit so was doing research to those ends. Unfortunately,
through my research I also discovered one of the people I met was lost
at sea a few years back - with the charm also comes the hardship the 'sea
way of life' brings. I'm quite sad to learn of his passing. All the more
reason to come visit - I have a memorial to pay my over due respects to.

Date: 12/14/2004 Name: A mile in my shoes... Location: Valley E-Mail: Comments: I don't take offense to the bashing of Walmart
as a personal attack. There are many misinformed people out there that
have no clue as to what they are talking about. Walmart WILL employ many
people if/when they arrive in your town. Where will these people come from?
They will be people that are in need of a job or are in need of one where
the employer wil treat them with respect. Does Walmart expect much from
it's employees? They expect an equal return for the investment they make...
Have you ever met an employer that ever wanted $5 worth of work for $8
in wages? Nope, they went bankrupt.

Your site's description of Lake Milo mentions him: "Lake Milo, in Yarmouth, N.S, is a freshwater lake which was named after a man from the United States named George Milo Dutcher." I can't find any other source showing where Lake Milo got its name. If you have a source you could direct me towards it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help you give. Happy Holdays.

help a bit.
Urban Legends Reply: Date: 12/20/2004 Name: The Old Viking Location: Crofton, BC E-Mail: oldviking@shaw.ca Comments: I picked up on the name of the town right away - Port Albion instead of Port Alberni. It made for a good laugh. I have replied to the fellow that sent it to me and there are dozens of names on the list, so your guest book might start filling up soon. The Old Viking
Comments: I received this same message through government sources, both federal and provincial (BC), and though the telephone number on the lift is a Nova Scotia number, it isn't entirely out of place to find a great white on the west coast. It also didn't seem out of place to find equipment produced on the east coast but possibly used on both coasts nor is the fog identifiable as east coast fog v/s west coast fog. Port Albion is a legitimate port, across the bay from Uclelet in Barkley Sound, and did not raise any flags. Our biggest clue that this might be a hoax is that it certainly would have made the local news and none of our aquaintences, many who fish or dive on the west coast, had heard anything about this occurrence. Gotta love a good story! Urban Legends Reply: Date: 12/22/2004 Name: Geoff Location: Prince George BC E-Mail: Comments: I have just recieved this e-mail from My brother In Kitimat...all
the same thing but instead it's noted with Kitimat BC meaning it's the
Douglas CHannel....about 150 miles inland. It got me though as I
could have sworn I new the guys standing next to the fish....Maybe you
just want to believe it's true.

Urban Legends Reply: Date: 12/22/2004 Name: catbox Location: Quadra Island, BC E-Mail: silverthorn@canada.com Comments: Prior to moving to Quadra Island I was a fisheries observer in the area that the aforementioned critter was reported to be caught. Having been on all of the docks in that area at one time or another, the dock in the picture didn't look familiar unless someone had done a major overhaul in the recent past. The rest of the story seemed very plausible though. We even went so far as to call some friends who are still in the area and see if they'd heard anything about it. Yes, there is a place called Port Albion and you would think someone from Crofton would know that before assuming it was a play on "Port Alberni". It is "across the Bay" from Ucluelet. Good joke and my hat's off to the creator.
