....Come From Away......very cute.... let's Deal With That....These are a collection of short statements and adjectives that have been used to describe Me.....and I am sure others have been carefully whispered.......... abrasive,hostile,rude,aggressive,radical,trying to destroy our Town's reputation,uncooperative,inflexible,interfering and of course a Come From Away..... Well that last one really hit a nerve....not only because it is a way of excluding newcomers...The newcomer begins to think all Yarmouthians feel this way.....and that in my experience is not true at all..... I have always had a certain gift, and that is... knowing who I am dealing with before they even speak.....Some of you out there know this.. and if you're up to no good.. ...well...... and that is pretty interesting......but not in this case..this is just straight out Wrong....... Why You Would Not Want To Protect Forest Street.... ,.....I Come From a very very long line of.. Fighters.....so you might say.. what they are saying about me ..is true.....the description sounds like a Battle In Itself......So I love talking about History and guess what.... this Come From Away...Is Going Tell you a little about his family history.... You know the English are clever...they decided to wipe out the Highland Clans in Scotland..so after battling them for years without success..they had an idea...lets hire them and put them in the British army...ship them overseas ...send them to North America to fight The French and The Indians... that should kill off the Highlanders....but better yet in the attacks lets put them.. right up front....that should get rid of them...But if you have ever dealt with a wild Scot it is quite a scene.. anyway most survived because they were wild...they were what later became known as shock troops....It Really would have been completely terrifying to see yourself advanced upon ...by a field of kilted screaming mad men welding claymore and dirk...that was my seventh great grandfather Col. Ranald MacKinnon......... after the War...he was granted 2000 acres in Nova Scotia and named it Argyle.1774........Capt.Philip Hemeon of German decent arrived after the American Revolution The Two families merged and produced my grand father who is detailed below....

..........The Little Guy That looks Like A girl That's

..........My Grandfather..no wonder He Had an attitude

..........Imagine The Harassment in School.

..........The Little Guy next to him Is Vance

..........He was Killed At Paschendale in World War I

..........See the guy on the Far Right That's Ranald MacKinnon

...........These Guys All Had An ATTITUDE.......

.........Some People Avoided Them...Special People.. .People Up To No Good...

.....Prescott .St. . . This was the site...of a Battle between Town Hall, Police and a Couple of Property Owners....a futile effort to save, I believe, seven to ten...100 to 130 Year Old Trees ...which stood in Front Of The Owner's Victorian Houses ...... ......but their are no Policy Statements Or By-Laws In Place to protect any Town Owned Land From This Sort of Action..............Now.. Things Were really Quiet around Town As this all Played Out............I took a Walk Over when I found out about It ...a week later...Well I did ....An Interview........In The Paper and Around Town It was said the Trees Had To Go They Were Dying Or would Die.......[hope they don't use that theory when thinkin' of my usefulness] ...Well Of Course.. During My Interview I got Directly To The Truth of The Matter.....The Workers Had.. .This Massive Shiny Curbing Machine....they Brought From Wolfville...They could not use it with the Trees there......now I... would Have Made Concessions For The Trees....done the back-breaking labor myself with hopefully the help of some younger men and All Those Trees Would THERE TODAY..........but there WAS Nothing in Writing To Compel The Town To Treat Town Own Land In any way.. other than to ensure the the end result does not pose a Safety hazard to traffic or pedestrians................The Town Wishes To RESERVE Their PRESENT RIGHTS To Do... Exactly This ...To The Forest Street Area................
     

......... . How Important Are our Memories How Important Is a spiritual Past.....,..Can these memories be tied to a place.... and can that place hold a special spiritual meaning...that is activated at the thought or the sight the smell...of that place.....we all don't know our family histories...There Fore....some of our most important memories are tied to a place... I talked to a man today walking down Forest Street with his son, the boy was about seven years old, that little boy will remember that walk one day and come back searching for Forest Street...And He Will Find It....It will be just like he remembered it through his life... a great day out with his Dad., The smells... cut grass ... fresh tar ... honeysuckle...lawn mower exhaust... it all blends into a special Summertime smell....Retaining This Cohesive pathway through time is very important to the Spiritual Well Being Of A Community....Some People Have no idea that this is taking place...that These People..Feel This Way...nor do they care....That's were the Battle Lines are drawn......There is no Question that Forest Street Is part Of This Town's collective memory.... So this was a very lucky chain of events that has brought me to this point in time.... SOME pretty Strange Things Have Happened To Me ...The Intervention of......Fate.....Spirits... Everything Goes In another Direction....and for ME another BATTLE...... How many of you have either said or heard this.....''The Town Has Always been Run by Wealthy And Powerful People and nothing can be done...... If They want to do something...then that's it... nothing can be done about it...sound familiar ....well ...Forest Street... Belongs To.. ALL The People of Yarmouth ......The People Who OWN This Town..This Street....Don't Want It To DIE ................
         

......... Come From Away ...,........That.. WAS ..Cute.............I Think it May Be Time To Put It In The MUSEUM........... Now you have all heard that our Province And Our Town is putting plenty of CASH into Tourism Product Development.......Since The Forest Street Area Is already an attraction and now the fact That In May Be Unique In Today's Modern World....... .Do you think that this could possibly be a clever ploy....on their part.....They knew If They messed with Chapter 5 and messed with The PROTECTIONS of the Streetscape on Forest Street..... I would do something about it..... and they thought I was loud and aggressive..... so I guess they figured people would hear all the fuss and come running...From All Over The World....great plan....clever..very clever.... so lets fall into the trap..... Now for you prospective visitors out there in Internet Land This is our.... Frost Park ....on This Hot day it was Beautifully Shaded take a LOOK. ..................................................Now I Have to Go Out....And do some Interviews....
