In This Issue Tribute To Rita Joe Yarmouth Vanguard Wins Big YarmouthCounty.com Receives Over 100,000 Visitors Keeping Constant Contact Learn New Computer Skills For Free Past Favorites… Personal Message . Now that spring has sprung and the flowers are starting to peek out from beneath their winter beds it reminds me that we need to keep in constant contact with you our friends and supporters. Sadly the other thing that reminds me of this is the loss of two people this past week. One was my cousin Andrew Crowell of Baccaro and the other was Rita Joe, of Eskasoni. Both meant a great deal to me and yet I had not seen either of them recently. So I’m going to take time to see more of you and to keep in constant contact with many of you via email. Life is to short not to take time to stop and smell the roses or, as depicted above, just to lean back and relax! I hope you enjoy our Yarmouth County News and that you will also take time for those you love.
