less likely to get in trouble by being so busy.
And it’s no secret that students involved in
sports are more likely to do better in academic
endeavours than those not involved in extracurricular
activities.
In all fairness, NSSAF acting executive
director Ron O’Flaherty said his organization
and Hockey Nova Scotia did discuss this
year’s conflict, but could not find a workable
solution. He called it a “perfect storm,” in which
March break, Easter weekend, and the April
1st shutdown of rural arenas all combined to
force both groups to schedule provincials on the
March 28th-30th weekend.
I know in my daily life there are sometimes
not enough days in a week to accomplish all
that I want to do. And it’s obvious there are
not enough weekends in March this year to
avoid this scheduling conflict. But there is a
demonstrated need for both organizations to
work closely together to avoid future conflicts.
The safety of our children and the future of
recreational activities in rural Nova Scotia
depend on it.

In honour of Robert Burns and all ye crazy
Scots who think haggis is a delicacy, know
all the words to Auld Lang Syne, and claim
to understand what Burns is saying, here’s a
humble offering of my revised version of A Red,
Red Rose, by Bill Scuttleburns, and dedicated
to Ian Macdonald on his Jan. 22 birthday, which
he tends to drag out until Jan. 25:
A Red, Red Pimple
O my bum has a red, red pimple
That’s newly sprung in bed
O how I loathe to sit
While it is festering and red
As fair art thou, my bonnie bum,
That oft catches a lass’s eye;
I will endure the pain my dear
`Til a’ the zits gang dry
`Til a’ the zits gang dry, my dear,
And the bum is once more smooth;
O I will love thee then, my bum,
Even when sand gets in the groove.
And fare thee weel, my only bum
And fare thee weel thru middle age;
So I will still fit yon jeans, my dear,
Without flying into a rage.

The Vancouver Island Compassion Society
is a non-profit organization dedicated to
providing a safe source of cannabis-based
treatments to its membership, and to adding
to the knowledge and understanding of the
therapeutic potential of whole-plant cannabis
medicines through community-based scientific
research. In a lawsuit initiated by the group,
federal court judge Barry Strayer struck down
a key government regulation on medical
marijuana last week that essentially grants
medical marijuana users more freedom in
picking their own grower, rather than being
forced to rely on the federal government as a
supplier. The decision also allows growers to
supply the drug to more than one patient.
Definitely a step forward in recognizing the
needs of the 2,000 people who currently use
the plant for medical purposes. Only 20 per
cent had been using the marijuana supplied by
the government, claiming it was of poor quality
and of only one strain, when other strains were
better suited to their ailment.
As I heard this news last week, I almost had
to Google Earth what country Vancouver Island
belonged to.
On the one hand, we have a government
and court system that says, “This plant is good
for people, they need to have it, and by gum,
we’re going to either supply it to them or let
them grow their own!” And on the other hand,
our government and courts are saying, “This
plant is bad for people, we’re going to put them
in jail for growing it, and we’re going to jail them
for longer than the We’koqma’k man who got
three months in jail for beating up his spouse
for the third time – pounding her head into the
ground this time around until he was finally
dragged off of her; longer than what those
three Halifax girls got for beating a woman up
with metal table legs; and longer than what
disgraced American Olympic-medalist Marion
Jones got for lying about her steroid use.
We can only hope such apparent
contradictions such as these, by the same
government and court, will eventually lead to
the end of marijuana prohibition in Canada.

Allena MacDonald could light a room up
when she entered it – usually from all the smiles
she’d generate as she arrived late, her arms
full of papers and laptops and stuff, looking
as if she got caught in a hurricane, a coffee in
her hand and that “Mind-if-I-smoke” look from
having just finished one in her car. You had to
