forwarded my way by our family's favorite fishing guide. I was originally
looking for more information about the "1-hour battle" with this Great
White before I had any idea that it could be a hoax. I am a big fan of
Vin Diesel.

Date: 7/8/2005 Name: Jan Radtke Location: Calgary, AB E-Mail: radtkejl@shaw.ca Comments: I have been reading a book that features your community. It
is called "Summer's Child" by Luanne Rice and I had never heard
of Melbourne, NS before reading this book. The author has painted a beautiful
picture in my mind of your community. I am a true "westerner" having grown
up in BC and Alberta. I have never been east of Windsor, Ont (and is that
really considered "east"?) but can't wait to visit further east, some day.
Today is July 8, 2005 and it is the first day of the world famous Calgary
Stampede. I've been in Calgary for 24 years now and will probably steer
(pun intended) clear of any of the festivities. I can't wait until I come
over to the "other" side of wonderful country to experience the beauty
I've been reading about.

Too bad it didn't help us sell that four wheeler! (ha ha) It's been a while since I had reviewed the logs. I was annoyed to see the comments from name "unknown" located in New York.(6/20/05) Are they not aware that the loudest voices come from the opposition? Those of us (yes, that includes me) who do not care how others choose to live, or love, don't make a big fuss about it and thus get no media coverage. How small minded to let a line on a website influence your decision on anything. On a cheerier note...Keep up the good work.

Toller. I visited NS summer 2004 and was surprised that I could find souviner
shops carrying almost everything but not a bumper sticker, lapel pin ,
or anything else regarding the Toller. When I asked of the provincial dog
I never met a person who had heard of it. You have a provincial
treasure and should let the world know about it, but begin at home in your
tourism industry. This dog is easily the equivalent of the Newfoundland
Dog and the Labrador Retriever and these dogs are household names in Canada
as should the Nova
Scotia Duck Tolling Retreiver be.

I was in town for just a few hours to take photos. They have an exceelent store, with a very unique look. They have done an excellent job preserving the heritage and honouring the time period of when the building was constructed in the late 1890s. I was on this website getting some background info on the town. It was helpful. Thanks
