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.

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.
   Does Walmart promote only the USA... Where does MacDonalds come from? Walmart has more products that are produced right here in Canada than any other company that I know of. Just because your name says that you are Canadian, that doesn't mean you only sell Canadian products. I am a shareholder of Walmart Canada and I love the people that I work with. They are from all over this province (including your town) and all across this country. From NFLD to BC, there are tens of thousands of us and the only ones that I ever met that didn't like it were not used to working a hard job... It's nothing to be afraid of.

"Joe Scocas" <scocopuf@tamos.net> 
Hello, 
My name is Joe Scocas and I am a direct descendant of George Milo Dutcher, a temperance lecturer in the 1870's in Yarmouth as well as other places.  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.

Webmaster Comment: These links may help a bit.
The Dutcher Reform movement began in Yarmouth on the 1st August, 1877

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!

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.

Comments: I am a surfer, I live on the East Coast of Vancouver Island. I have been surfing this coast for a long time and have heard of stories of great whites off the coast of Vancouver Isl.  This story was sent to me by a concerned friend.  I was a bit suspicious because I hadn't heard anything on the grapevine nor read anything in the local newspapers so I checked on the net and found this site.
Will pass it on to the West Coast Surfer's site and then the ball will roll.

Comments: got the shark tale e-mail as if it was set in Kitimat B.C..  I was always taught to research and question things, which brought me to your web site.  I now know that it is still safe to swim in Kitimat.

Comments: Got this article yesterday and immediately smelled it as a dead rat. As a fisherman/diver I know we have had the great whites off the west coast but that one is a beauty.They have been here when the El Nino currents are here, and that wasn't this year. I saw pictures of a smaller one caught of the coast by a couple of the local guys years ago. 
Too bad, a shark like that seen underwater would be a tale to tell for a lucky diver!Maybe better yet from the safety of the boat!

Comments: I am orginally from the Island so this story caught my eye. It was posted on our local web page. I phoned a friend who lives there to ask her what she heard about it. She said this story was in the local paper and they said it was a prank. I investigated further and long and behold I found this site.
