Date: 8/5/2004 Name: Jim Jeffery Location: Elliot Lake, Northern Ontario E-Mail: jcjeffery@unitz.ca Comments: As many of your guests have said, you have a great www. Yarmouth
county has a long and interesting history. One of it's accomplishments
is the development of Nova Scotia,s Provincial dog. It is curious this
is not important enough to include as a seperate item on your home page.
I realize it's already quite busy, and the dog is covered on the Little
River site but it is an accomplishment that anyone from Yarmouth county
can be proud of. In the last 15 or 20 years, these little red dogs have
found homes all over the world. You can bet that many want to know about
the birthplace of the breed, and will be looking on the internet for Yarmouth.
They will hit your home page first. Give them an excuse to surf the rest
of your site. They may not know about Little
River.

25 years of my life there.
Until that day comes I will cringe every time I see the reference to
Overton as over-from-the-town. I guess that name must have given someone
"from Town" a greater sense of importance or something when that term was
coined.
