Dear editor: This year’s FFHS musical production of “Grease” was an incredible showcase of amazing talent, dedication, and commitment by the staff and students involved. It was an absolutely delightful show from opening to closing night, and the local talent displayed was inspiring. Not only was the singing, choreography, and […]
Can you sing along with “Baby Beluga” and get all the lyrics right? “Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea/Swim so wild and swim so free.” You remember! This song was written and released by Raffi in 1980, and is one of his signature songs that has crossed generations. Though […]

I’ll admit I’m both a news junkie and a political junkie. Give me an election contest and I will follow every blog and political columnist in the area where the election is taking place. For me, watching the start as the candidates break out of the gate—until they gallop across […]
I was listening to CBC Radio during a drive home from Halifax early last week, which was the re-airing of that morning’s “The Current.” On the program was Katrina Spade, founder and director of the Urban Death Project. I found the whole program fascinating and hopeful; an example of real […]
