my name is david jones i'm a member ofthe board of directors of the dartmouth heritage museum and i really happy thatthere's a nice big crowd here today and we're going to talk about the history ofstar manufacturing and we weren't i have to scramble and do an entirely differentpresentation of my sister catherine is going to be my vannah white tonight you have control of the computer so ifyou can hear me saying next to the big wooden post actually that crazy so next week this isa little introduction about myself maybe it's a little pain it mentionsthat i'm an archaeologist and historian
ive lived in dartmouth all my life whichreally isn't that long 26 years i'm the great grand that viewdr john martin some of you here we're fortunate enough to have met and he wasordered to also have with and he was town historian ofdartmouth and i try to shadow and use the footsteps i just don't have the official title ohgod i also for those of you hooked up to the internet i have a history website and later on inthe evening i'll give you a chance to write that down and i have bored you todeath and you're still interested in me
tell me more about history so itshistory dartmouth up blogspot . see a and at that title istoo much for your typing fingers you can just google start with history ball andit will be the first thing that comes up next to happen this eerie photo is a doctor drawnmartin and it's one of my favorites to show up my talks because you can kind ofsee where i get my curiosity and quirkiness from here he is in the all done family vault hearing streetcemetery and he's checking out 13 coffins that are in there and i haven'tyet gone in there but that is definitely
something that i would do so now genes are pretty damn strong the next all right now why the heck am i going totalk about start manufacturing while they're all times reasons a startingfactoring it doesn't exist above ground now but it was a dark with landmark from1861 when the second phase of the shooting a canal is going strong - 2000 when it was demolished byinsurance so none of us so we're around eighteensixty-one but all of you have been have
strong dark roots so your parents andgrandparents and even great-granddad's could be very familiar with thatlandmark i'm sure all of you here today have driven by it or been in it some of you may be the work there it'sthe world's most famous hockey skate factory that made the world's firstmodern escapes and then the very first modern hockey skates start manufacturingties into all kinds of current popular topic beams in history and publicinterests ties into industrial our goals you will talk a little bit about what isunderground at the start site what's currently being excavated and preserveand things have been taken out and
destroy waterpower major theme willstart because it harness the waters of the room and now to power its turbinewhich product entire state factory and it made otherthings that escapes and get to that if it wasn't for star manufacturing therewill be no hockey hockey is so important to the fabric of communion life even ifyou never played it or not really into it you can't hide from the it's aroundeverywhere whether it's your kid playing hockey a beer commercial someone wearinga jersey it is all around us and if it alsowasn't for stars sake i wouldn't be standing here with the whole oppositeand a very important being is that star
manufacturing in 2012 was officiallydesignated a national historic event why event site it's because the site wasdestroyed in the site was still above ground it has been told by the powers of thehistoric sites and monuments board panel that in with autumn and we achievenational historic site stands but unfortunately they can only make theinvention of the starscape and then next slide all right so i'm quite staffacts a lot of you familiar with dark history with all these of the top ofyour head but if you're a little more new to this and put them up for you
so start didn't start as a schemefactory that happened a few years after eighteen sixty-one and it was just asmall nail back built alongside the canal but very quickly built up and hadvery large infrastructure which you will see in my illustrator slideshow of theturbine that until very recently september 2015 was still under draggedalong star and turbine chamber harness waters from the shoe magnifique nowwhich is so important dark history and nova scotian history and that isintricate to have star wars of able to function they made 11 million pairs of skatesmost of them were made of steel
some special things were made of silverand for the king and queen of spain of gold pair was produced star was featuredin many ways fairs and exhibitions and they alwayswon gold medals their escapes to speak to you everybody warned them a little anecdotelower on starscapes is a leon trotsky the head of the bolsheviks in therussian revolution in his autobiography he lived in a very remote part ofsiberia and he's saying that his own uncle would come and visit his family onthe train from a bigger city in russia and each year they would ask them whatlittle of trotsky would want for a
christmas present and every year heasked for a pair of star escapes and they always leave them on sale yes we'regoing to get it but he never got them with the very ironic thing is in 1917 he was a captured trying to take avacation to new york and he was imprisoned in nova scotia so he ended up taking a train just a fewkilometers away from star manufacturing plant where you could easily haveobtained a little star and hard to get their states but you ended up beingimprisoned in amber stand as far as i know he never had a pair
so that's pretty sad old trust a very important part of our localhistorian ties in the old canadian history is during world war two of mostof the men the mail labor force was overseas fighting in the war or at leastinvolved in different aspects of the war effort at home so there had been a largelabor force working at the star plant but most of those boys went overseas somany local women were employed working for the war effort where the old skiequipment and then the nuts and bolts equipment and so far as i understand wasrepurposed to to make a different things for the work
so start offering from 1860 1 to 99 6continuously with a few different owners but mostly people but star family and i'm being run byjohn for the famous inventor and i'm six mr. stan you close the plant andit was acquired by health effects regional municipality in its infancy on paper it was said to have a park we built but very quickly they wereentertaining offers from sauvies to tear down the factory and to build a new sobe stored in different developments that was quashed
but then it was torn down to make roomfor a condo development which some of you hear me within so don't be mad at mefor being mad at condo but beautiful potential national historic site wasvery excitedly destroyed my opinion so i have a bit of a star militant andyou will get that one maybe that's why the scary thing but itruly am passionate topic i'm going to tell you as much the next slide right oni got a little bit ahead of myself or start so important well where is it have you seen especially torn down manyof you know that you're driving at the very start of pleasant street downtowndurant with the intersects with brings
our growth and there's a block that'sbounded by dr. lonely street frames on over then it narrows towards what is nowour own road what was known as the pikes peak extension and then where today's sogas station is that's where the start site ends towards so and lastyear i was giving a lecture about the saw mill river and when we won't talkback because we cover the last time what mr. burnhardt a big-time greatvolunteer with the information he told me the coolest fact that really ties into that picture of john martin going into two and that kind of thing he told me that almost underneath thes.o plant where you see the christmas
trees get up every year there is a manholethat you can get no i haven't gone in there yet yet but iearly early phase of the canal and still preserve been there so most maples whenyou explore their just concrete pipes but there's all kinds of meat star notthat spot on the star site and canal infrastructure that is still in granddown under so you'll hear me talking very muchabout star but shouldn't the canal story is so tied into that so they go togetherin aspects but tonight out really bepushing for the star story to be told
what i'm saying that you spent of theefforts of the genetic information or all the really neat archaeology that istied into their that i'd love to go explore with a hard hat and flash likejust don't call them the police next slide ok so doesn't make anattraction the star attraction of tonight's presentation the thing thatmakes start the most important my thinking is its role in the creation ofthe game in 1863 john forbes a local inventor ingenious devise the way tomake a new ice skate the old ice skates were made on woodenblocks and they had a lot of problems if you are skating and
you tripped over crap on ice skates fora week they could easily break and also the real drag for everyone was that youhad to drill two holes in the bottom of your group and so that would too then screw in the wooden blocks capethat would compromise your group and if you were a fan of off your skating youwouldn't want to have to go by every time that you just want to go for escape so john forbes had all kinds ofdifferent phases of the starscape and we're going to explore is a main famousdesign which actually i have one here now bonded by the legs
uh this is called the acme spring skateand in the mid eighteen hundreds anything that was like bees was all acneas a greek word for us so this is a spring scape why is itspring skate there's a spring mechanism this is the real genius part of hisinvention in that here there's a little joint that if i press in it locks so if i want to look this up to themoment a few of my group i just have to open itand lo russell doesn't have as well as it did in 1863 but i opens up like thisand then we'll clamp back onto your boot you don't have to drill any holes intoit now the later on development of the
escape was that here on this regalfeatherweight starscapes had really great heroes names they were very intoearly marketing in canada they had the pools advertisement you know how now if you'regoing to buy hockey equipment they'll say this used by sidney crosby this isused by carey price well in 1907 there was a star at thatsaid six out of seven back in the day they had seven players up very nice six out of seven of the earlymontreal canadiens team use their escape so even in 1907 having those celebrityendorsed ads so later on regal
featherweight states like that theywould be a drill the ribbon into your and then that's how the hockey skatesyou know today which i'll show you an example of that's how those came to bebut when everyone was wearing those high-heeled groups and skating aroundand stop they were using these spring escapes sohere is a 1920's 1930's example of stars states so they were teaming up withlooping back shirring happenings and they were attaching the blades to theboot so this looks like i showed up to the hell back soval wearing that iprobably break my ankle because i can't escape
hi you oops and i really be made publicthese i'd look really old fashioned but it would be better so 1920's 1930's star speak very similarto what we are using today so when i say it's world's most famousof the factory state factories because they screaming and it is not for instancethat star plant is located about a kilometer from for not waking up iswhere this could be a whole lot election was like been up against the birthplaceof hockey it's been documented proof and i'm alittle biased my dad drew national
bestseller books on both hunky homeabout that was being replaced a hobby watching 2004 the fucking news which isthe bible off your writing they did a poll amongfans all around the world and health effects dartmouth away any other citythat you could throw are they trying to convince me that is replacedoverwhelmingly swamp people might be here from the validation stage windsorwinter and scored this bunch dartmouth for this much any otherforeign places in the country all the russia didn't doing compared to a darkness in nova scotiaand very interesting thing is a song
occupants claim that montreal is thebirthplace of hockey because they say they had the first organized well something that's not a coincidenceis that for that game a letter was sent to dartmouth askingfor hockey equipment so if you're it has people will play thefirst game of hockey doesn't quite add up i wasn't mad at her but madness numbersare right next time alright so back to john forbes they'reall kinds of folks that can be thrown into a presentation like this
this is amazing because this quote from1867 in halifax paper says that forms a ranks right up there with reformers ofthe 19th century so they're comparing this inventor andlived on create a view downtown dartmouth they're comparing youto you know that the just have a big wigs political thinkers figures of yournorth america they say he's so important because hejust avoided the pitching of the boot the more comfortable better aight and itsays that you know everyone skating on the state of the northwest arm on thedark place the very interesting thing is as hell backs and dark with ferryterminals a red flag will be raised if
the ice on lake waddup was in goodcondition because people in the 1860s 1870s were crazy for skating and globalwarming was not something people vocabulary so the ice was a lot bettercondition and i know first and the struggles of trying to find good i seethese days on leaf enough because the last 10 years my dad nine been going up there with thesnowblower maybe once or twice a year becausethat's all how much we get the nice so it's a realstruggle back in the day everyone was skating everyone wascomplaining about having the buckle
tongues breaking the attention of thetoes cramping up in steps cold fingers so they're big complainers and writeeverything was so fun starts to dim sum ok so this just gives you you know i'mvery dark eccentric i probably the leader of the darkrevolutionary group trying to break away from halifax but here's some perspective outside of darkness so the winnipegtelegram in nineteen away say you hannah has a great skatebackward in the world that's our manufacturing it's on the ocean andscotia not just helped bank documents and phrases go around canada and what iwas talking the celebrity is
look now this is very interesting forthe past 40 years almost every prominent popular in canada as you start escapes well if we do the math and subtract fouryears from 1907 that gets you to 1867 montreal claims that they invented hockey in the 1870s oh i should pick outmy chocolates are doing my job you can stand but i'm bigger than everso we'll put that up next slide okay so it's not just speaksthat star manufacturing is producing this is why i'm carrying this around so this is not a teen music star stickif i was i would have to leave around
like this this i was purchased in pto i was madeby farmer whose father described by marquis sticks - and you want to try torecreate it now this is me from the good of an appletree and you know if you explore the napa valley out of the bathroom window they're so i had to give them our novascotia like some crazed you see the beautiful apple orchards and that and sothere are all kinds of nice bend the wood that you can get the blame stick so this is how very early sticksused to look but i start making factory
invoice traps and we're living people & lake management area beforethey move down dartmouth to move here and they wereharvesting birch trees - trees around the broken link - we're manufacturer ofsticks and that ties into the early origins of hockey was not just made outof here by the european people who was influenced by quan game they werepregnant favor of complex having fun games butthey were just a formalized by european people but it would be very similar to the dateand start starting to brand their sticks
as mi'kmaq now you're single but at thetime and they execute some reason the mi'kmaq battery and if any of you areever really grand your attic and undoing the taper off stick and falling back written on his pic please give me a callimmediately will have a check next all right this is just another example ofstar advertising there on the leading into advertising one last winter . thatis there the star posters featuring this style ofhockey player with this very early equipment and the cover of my dad's bookshows a star advertisement wear hockey player is wearing a red jersey with awhite star very interesting is if you're
driving into winter on the one they ever sign that says thebirthplace of hockey but they have stolen that image from the step and getthis they have taken out the start and put w on the jersey and there is nodoubt that's a saying there and if you go to the windsor birthplace of hockeymuseum that poster is on to the ball so they cannot hard next slide hi this is somethingdifferent something you might have been going i were just talking about hockey i hatehockey so here's a beautiful gate start
manufacturing didn't just make steaks they diversify and here they made somevery significant gates in the health packs tarea business from point pleasantpark some of you maybe go ok that's what that is these are the golden gates of pointpleasant played by the star manufacturing company so they made bigdetail intricate work and their crafts people were top enough they were hiringthe best people to make their skates and they were making these tapes now verylittle known fact is if you go to the maritime
museum of the atlantic if you go behindthe museum and you're walking here when they have cannons anchors on displayoutside their long buster activities near there there is a gate in between two of theiremotions and it's the old health packs ferry terminal gates made by star infactory i like 200 all so next time you're going for a strollon the scary hell thanks waterfront venture away from dartmouth don't youshould check out the gates not maybe know that i have to credit dan conlon who's currently in historycurator at pier 21 and was the curator
of american museum he has the coolest prettiest knowledgeof health effects are sure of anyone i've ever met and i've met a few peoplethat like history and i he told me that and he actually told me that on theschool tour where the whole tour he was walking around with the wooden cane waving it aroundand at the end of the tour is like does anyone know what's going to his caneright no he pulled out a sword from the cane and he said he was from thecollection of the maritime museum and it was a sword cane
there was a captain who was stealing thevan and felt uncomfortable in the streets of events and we walked to ablacksmith shop and have them install a big sword sideways came so then finallyhave been camping stored in secret all around with us all day so as bad nonetheless for standingbehind when he did the big reveal so there's people with all kinds of meatknowledge like that open health effects department thatimportant thing is to tapping that knowledge to find things before they disappeared no
skates and just quietly disappearsomeday the renovations so we definitely havethat kind of stuff ok so that the end of starscapes star had a greatdrawing from 1863 too late nineteen thirties but companies that we know today thatmeans for ccm web our they started really competing with my reporting a lotof pressure taking star designs which had brian up at seven 680 time passed so they're putting onthe pressure and who was in cahoots with
these companies in quebec and ontariowas not giving star good bang for its buck on their skates and started reallydependent on middle catalogs and also as the package strain out companies ingermany start making knockoff states and i've been lucky enough to travel aroundyou're a little bit in an antique shop side bam escapes that one who's thereescapes then you read on knows i'm star states with the same example just anovel so start they were diverse applyingalready i must mention they were also doing the metal work for the previousbridges of health effects harbor there bridge the one across fell back harborat the narrows it was a railway bridge
they worked on that and then later onafter the skates and it they are making nuts and bolts they'remaking stuff for the war effort and then making starlight coming plastic pipesand as i said earlier the factory closed alright so the physical demise of starsto make me teary-eyed so this is a quote there's a really goodbook industrial hair - 20 sure and has a verysimilar to that you can get it at the local library you're not lucky enough to have a coffeeand an architect that are maybe the architectural engineer by the name ofthe bar low
he was hired to map out the star plantbefore it was told him down and this is really fascinating he was looking to get in and he made great recording this winternow moves to help the archaeologists diggingup the remains of start and they should now but he really saw that this was asuper sad loss so he said there were heritage groups fighting to save starbut it didn't work unfortunately and seven year old davidjones row but really sad a letter to hrm when he's a little boyand my dad had taken me to the windows
start manufacturing and i gazed in atthe old machinery and if any of you are fans of charlie and the chocolatefactory it was like looking in at willy wonka's factory is amazing and so iwrote we'd save star and turning into the dark character is at eight and workit was turned to him in two thousand has any barlow says thatthe demolition of the property that represents tragic loss that's the understatement who is thatand now a slideshow of star pitchers catholics are so the starr building isnot just important for its historical value and state production of thearchitectures very fascinating so in the
eighteen sixties that was a very much coinciding with thegolden age of shipping in nova scotia so many a man who were employed in building ships andthey were famous start with shipyards like wile shipyard and chapel shipyard i down back with me on many men who areemployed building ships there would naturally have gone to startmanufacturing they use their carpentry skills there so there are all kinds of features inthe star architecture that are very
similar to other things buildings innova scotia of the same period and ships so this is so some of the beautifulthings as many of you know around nineteen ninety-eight there was a fireagainst our manufacturing but that's really gone into urban legend that was abig fire the white the entire plant but it only just black and a section of thebuilding and so a lot of people incorrectly it was like burn down but it was a fire that causeddamage that was not be reversible and so there was a lot of set inside star so itmakes it look worse than it is but if
you have hired a specialist to come inthey can remove back in a lot of architecture would have been perfect sowe'll fly through these and i have a special soup retreat and the end of theshow which is good i think so captain next slide means thisagain shows the old ships tile manufacturing of like the joints sothey're using wooden pegs are not using nails which is ironic because stars nailfact we put in a million and there's a early to need the heckvery good of 1862 need that gives you a sense of scale and so see what i meanlike look inside this is perfect good so that's not compromise but there'sjust a little bit of charge of the wood
which could have been taken care of yousee here is a ship's meat which is really create and build more the famousjust things going thanks that really god he's actually andthe same nursing moments right grandparents so i've talked to him and iwas easy the luxury of our heritage museum recently in the seventies out ofthe starr building be preserved ships need from some of the work it was being a section of the plant andyou donated it to what then was fully functioning ark heritage museum andthat's the layer ready for a new home so if you want to build a little homefor the museum we can get really amazing
artifacts like this display so this wastaken inside started this business no months from example that going it and it just shows the craftsmanshiplater so when you go back to beautiful really beautiful it wasn't a stark industrial building alot of flavor a lot of character to it which i personally think would have madea beautiful museum of farmers market that's all going to want those needsbeing that i would say a very strong temper would but i can't tell you whatwhat like fun and walk and walk ok as they would bend them there oh yeahjust like him
applewood smoked off the stick ok nextone this is a very interesting photo becauseon i'm not architect our yards and so ilike things afternoon fortunately but the star plant except for that half the demolition isgoing on pretty darn good condition that doesn't look like a building thathas been on fire there's still a lot of potential portnow this is really interesting this dollars in with daylighting song riverwhich was on to your topic but it's also entirely red one to work on the shipneck now commission because it shows
where the water used to run on thefactory and as part of the canal and that was preserved with this landscapefabric and gravel and the site is in the process of beingreally explain and reinterpreted but i'm here today to advocate for a strongerpresence of the mention of star site i like what's going on the site i'mgetting started to an end of it so next one this is a sad image this is not how ilook because the fire this is the demolition so white thoughand it's very tragic and so will go through a few that had pictures likethat but there will be ones of the
workings of the factory and a few morearchitectural features clips from happening again look look at the beautiful woodwork lookat this machine or any other city in the world would go crazy mode this and thatdoesn't mean people held back to start with what the government was interestedout of things they were interested in revenue that is a look at this factorywidth apart so it's really sad but look at what wewant this after doesn't make job with that means next pattern again you cansee the frame and building and this is what the barlow was able to recordbefore the divine's next
here they are lifting in its been toldto me that some timbers from start are buried on the site but inspires on where they not yet been recovered and idon't know the state of them if they have been buried but they weren'tmarried where the archaeological excavations arehappening as far as i know they were very else excellent news peers from the workingsof star this really was like the biggest lossopportunity i can think of is even if you're not really into the history ofstart it would be a great site for a
museum that shows everything with dr.history there's all kinds of display space it'sreally perfect now the skate manufacturing sectionalsister had already been dismantled for this equipment is for other metalworking processes but still very distorted and it was trapped this is from another part of start can anyone show me that this reallylooks like caught on fire to the whole scene pretty darn good condition i don'tthink people were fully aware that people just the general public when itwas small
again this illustrates all means i'vebeen talking about ships news heavy equipments of the industrialthings all the workings are still there just ok start air turbine so this turbine powered the startmanufacturing company is in old housing from the turbine chamber of the hand andit's very interesting because it's been discovered that this is one of the fewplaces in the city where you can see the mason symbols of the maker's marksmakers in system but they crafted it you can seethose irish and scottish symbols down below in the turbine chamber
so this is a footage from around to thatand chosen what was in there we'll get to that a little later nixon wins again this is the very onechamber a little grimy looking so but that doesn't have to do a fire that hasto be buried underground for hundreds of years and having water want to be withyour trip through it that's so not the most elegant but veryaction again this is more of the turbine workings you can see a little rusty when i wasburied underground for 200 years that google rest to the next one
this shows you what i was like we lookedearlier at the landscape fabric and the gravel feeling and where the water used to travel understart but here the water still water always wants to go where it wants nopesfor our flat way so you can see it this is from the old children and nowthat was underneath and just really amazing and that's we looked at byarchaeologists and it's a very high potential archaeology in front for beingwe showed excellent happen again this is very close to what we hadearlier but just shows the level of structure next
this was when they were getting ready totake the 30 again will calculate those timbers they're in great shape i think i'mhammered in that . but i really want to sell it to us that's what again so not just wood and steel allbeautiful lighting fixtures all the glass and now i want to talk toyou show you something pretty cool i have a friend in kevin o'neill and heis really crafty and can really make anything
and when you use about 12 years oldschool project you made a model of stabbing infactoring and his house hold all these really interesting things like this he drove the stands of my host today tolearn to me and it shows you the different phases of construction of avery much cake and insist really nice so i won't pass their outfits i'm reallyclose to one drop it but later on at the end of this talk youfeel free to look at it take some pictures and the plug cap and do myfavorite he makes wooden wallet city cells
and they're really nice and they'reconvenient and i use them all the time and it should be in a museum gift shop how do you load it all right next one ok again we'll fly through these justkeep clicking here's the outside plant this part was damaged by the fire but itwas contained and they had of an excavator knock this out to save therest of the factory to let the fire contained properly and again this isreally neat because a lot of you have either here with the shoe back nowcommission would have had a tour of the
this part in the explanations or ifyou're just curious diverse isn't you go around the fences at the site and you'veseen these underground workings but here you can see how star was builtdirectly on top of now infrastructure and that is the last i'll be nice to seethat before was restored here's the star site again group condition - and modeling pretty good for athirteen-year-old great one this is a further back at least for theback in mind you graph the world because i'm from that's our target but this istowards st. james church and you can even see the natural slope of the landthat's why the water was traveling down
to that found out from my fourth streetopening up by the canal interpretation centre war next one this is one of my favoriteshots chose everything shows the class can you just picture a museum or farmersmarket beautiful displays of what a waste next one okay now this is where i get a littleupset on the starter bond has been destroyed in september 2015 i'm notgoing to get to poop locusts but it was taken out it's going to be as far as i understandreplaced by a replica of an earlier
canal term bond but to me the turbinethe power of the world's most famous escape factory shouldn't have beendestroyed so i'm just going to put that out thereand not continue on talking about that but if you want to learn more about myfeelings about that i wrote a blog about it you can shape the next one please alright so now we're going to get intothe nitty-gritty of national historic significance stands for startmanufacturing so it was a slow process in 2004 all ofthe living former mayors of came together in a really powerful media
of health effects regional council andsome of them it was one the last public appearances john savagecame almost on his deathbed and spoke that star should be made a nationalhistoric site but the historic sites and monuments board determined that sincethe above-ground remnants of stars destroyed they could only name it anevent it was then approved in 2007's long process to get into the site'scrossed and uh but it was then very slow in the official recognition in 2009 itook that history class at st. mary's with a professor named ron donald whohave been responsible for the signal hill and other health effects sites andhe told me that he was involved with
approval and i hadn't heard of it don'twant to contact my dad for boredom buster so it was a little quiet been in 2012there was a small ceremony at the dartmouth sportsplex which very nicely there was a free skating of it with youpeople to go and state your sister nice game that was pretty what the star black is still in storage it's not on the site that's no no andi've been told that people are working on putting it there but it should havebeen put there in 2012 and i would argue
that the best way to display it is ifany of you are familiar by shinobi aquatic club your link for nope there is a model ofthe corporate park - that is leader skill is really not ties into thetradition of you making you know structure and just continue racing indowntown dartmouth by the it's beautiful and it was made locally and i think itwould be nice to have a steal replica of a star spring skate ondisplay and i copy the stole this idea from all of it and you could then mountthe plaque which is already made i saw in 2012 but it's getting pretty dustyand i'd like to see some action on it so
if any of you feel like doing someletter driving at the end of my presentation all the contact informationwe need for all the the powers that be that can help getthis black . there you want out i don't want another crazy event tohappen where we don't get to see it cause it's already been designated arenot trying to convince you that it should be a national historic event inour lives so when is the only one which is veryimportant so i think we should all become that star site legacy either my ownvisions against our escape sculpture of
national historic event but veryinterestingly in some of you made out of here star as far as i'm aware of yourfoot of pine street by may be wrong sorry was around then i had their ownbrick star in and mr. peter douglas a really good friend one who has beeninvolved in this kind of stuff for a very long time he showed me a really neat picturerecently where he and his friends in the nineteen thirties from park school theywere playing hockey down the old mill drink and that's enough the old gristmill and down a dark that was below the same things truckpretty much peter the dark curly markets
in that kind of negative so there are afew drinks and down , dark and as i lamented earlier waking up is freezing like i used to so it would be reallynice and i'm not saying anything from the scale gold but if they can have anoutdoor which is in halifax by the way i outdoor parking and skating rink on thestar site just like the old starring real-time thehistory it was perfect and it could have amulti-purpose use in the summer you could have plays there you could have roller hockey my sistercatherine is involved with community
groups of kids and that they can comethere and play great on two things to be done and so that would be perfect forthe standard site and i know other people have interesting star sights - soi'm not saying all those the whole thing and build a wreck but you have a littleone and i grew up with a nice beautiful ring in my backyard with whole life andit can be done for then also i'd like to see it's really sad the turbine wasdestroyed but let's put some starter and machinery we have all kinds and bringmetal workers and open and see all around that could be working on so i do not want to see you spare wipedoff the face of mr. if you're interested
in history if you're interested in thecommunity it should still play a part i think imtalking to the right kind of audience at hand behind the head told me not to putthe same here but i'm still the birthplace of pocket museum and windowsscotia has got their fingers on three star aki trophies which remain down darkby testicle start manufacturing company now they claim that because windsorteams played for these trophies that they get to keep them but i know hot and when you're going to true youonly get her computer that you want for fifty or hundred years

silver's help and there's an article that says ourgrandfathers used to go fishing over the lake going to talk to her like usesplace and they went and played guess what paki in 1867 it was a game between thearmy and the navy and my dad makes really good what a army and navy to you and very interesting they had a i wasn'tever drink this i do anyways because of the temperanceman but they had hot beer served they
had a lot porter apparatus it says and that wouldserve that we can link so there isn't if you want documentationyou want rules are rules six and seven playing on the lake andthe really important thing for the purpose of government rules are againstit is it says that one end of the lake they were playing the game and said theunruly locals played me on the verge of an entirely different from the one beingthere now i'm one of those unruly locals hi but you don't kill a cancer beautifulplace play-off sort of shelter

have i heard and i have this weird habitof repeating the question just like working here have i heard about the new for a drinkin darkness so in burnside there's a huge ball ballcourt where my sister-in-law family . don't know my sister plays ball will there betrouble and there's going to be a new or pad that's just a fancy name for iservices better using great but unfortunately that'sgoing to cause the dominoes that's my most word for the demise of several darkdrinks and under the impression of
cleansing bulls frank is going to no longer have off init the dark early fathers going to move there so i wish that gets to continue onbut rick's my core business anyway well that's great the more people we can bonnie saysthey're very interesting start and must promote the dark with a lot of them havebeen really good at promoting hockey few years ago there was a bantam city oflakes tournament and they have my dad drop the top there and they gaveeverything a badge put on jerseys with a starscape so there arepeople they just said you guys care

six-year-old 1998 1999 2000 but i wasmore interested in letting go and what i didn't write that letter to therecipient any other questions and like i'm makingit look all it's all your questions you might have something really interestingto teach us to start their quest to get on 1938 they stopped making state yeahyou know if they ever did any radio jungle or anything like that oh that's really cool ah that's reallyawesome i was asked can start ever do a radio jingles i will say i can't say nobecause i don't know i never thought of that but it would be really
look that to talk to coach archives anythingonce reported from that time or if anyoneremembers that is really close thank you want me to i don't know yeah the star is a star and evenfriendship yeah that's really cool of this point isthe most are is such a word sake that you start the game for the 3 stars arethere are times of teams that have started to me like the dallas stars nhlteam
on one hand i think star advertisementsreally must have played a part in that but also the three stars of the gamewhich was started by oxen and canada that was sponsored by a company havebeen crown royal it was a company that head stars but itwas a start manufacturing but that's really need to look at hockey earlyhockey advertisements and hockey vernacular and my dad has encounteredsome old r this bitch girlfriend hilarious i'm hey my my dad hasencountered some really old newspaper ads where there's a man trying to selltonic and he's like last year the crescents challenge for the cup andthey're a local health effects team this
year by my tonic and so that's a veryearly hockey and basically alcohol is tonic was probably pretty strong sothere's a lot of traditions of advertising beer hockey there's so many connectionsany other than the fact of the last eight or then i was under the standingof 3038 neighborhood what i could be wrong that and they weredefinitely of the root of the title and if any of you really like those pairs ofskates that i had if you go hunting at antique shops andlook at auctions and that you can get a pair of stars skates for about fifteenfifteen dollars

he in nineteen fifty made the historicblack design by my great-great uncle john martin and he was picked up by hisson of all thats way to go but he made the historic plaque for star and he's really neat guy he was a giftedmachinist and in the war the army and the navy far over him to see who couldgo and work for them but the army got first dibs so he went overseas with thearmy and install machine guns on inside cars and motorcycles all kinds of 50things that gave the germans probably and he told me all about making relaxand go around john martin jol martin with vision itand he would make them and i'm so
honored to happen to be a lecture andany time you see him strike up a conversation with him he's 96 so you like to have around for muchlonger but he's really and i chat with him before the top and he's just veryinteresting god and we're so lucky to have people like that around so let'skeep having good history conversations protect our history and archaeology andsince that was there to the museum why not all get together and create adartmouth heritage museum i don't want to see it as a health packsregion museum they can have that but dartmouthhas such a unique special history that
