Head for small town hospitality in scenic Beddeck

(NC) - Alexander Graham
Bell's mansion still sits atop
Red Head overlooking Bad-
deck Bay on the Bras d’Or
Lake on the edge of the Cape
Breton Highlands.

The outline of its roof and
upper floors — greyish
brown, white trim, corner

sheep and flew kites with his
children.

His presence is still felt in
the village of Beddeck (pop.
965) the incredibly scenic
anchorage that Bell first
encountered in 1885.

Today, Beddeck is a major
Canadian travel destination

turrets, flag hi y,

the b and end of the

fresh paint — can be
glimpsed through the sur-
rounding woods from the
roof atop the Alexander
Graham Bell National His-
toric Park in Beddeck,
Nova Scotia.

It was at this summer
house — Beinn Bhreagh —
that Bell (inventor of the
telephone at 27) and his
young associates charged
through a lifetime of ideas,
inventions and daring. They
designed and flew the Silver
Dart airplane in 1909, the
first flight in the British
Empire. They raced the
world’s first hydrofoil — the
HD-4 — to record speed of
70 miles per hour in 1919.
Bell also experimented with
aerodynamic designs, built
an iron lung, created a surgi-
cal probe, tried genetics with

internationally acclaimed
Cabot Trail, a popular sailing
destination on the great inland
sea and the keeper of the lega-
cy of Alexander Graham Bell.

Baddeck is one of 66
Nova Scotia towns and vil-
lages taking part in 1994 in
“Village Fair”, a province-
wide celebration of small
town hospitality and com-
munity spirit.

Baddeck knows all about
hospitality. The village has
more hotel rooms than it has
residents and, in the summer
months, the pretty resort bus-
tles with activity. It has
always been so. It’s quiet and
peaceful demeanour caused
the county sheriff in 1854 to
use the jail as a boarding
house and he regularly
turned out prisoners to
accommodate boarders.

Resid

the Bell Mi
(which is open year-round)
tourists can visit the govern-
ment wharf where boats and
yachts from around the world
tie-up during their cruisings
of the Bras d’Or Lake.
Across from the wharf is
Kidston Island, just two hun-
dred yards away. A shuttle
boat service operates
between the village and the
island where there is a super-
vised swimming area on a
sandy beach.

Amoeba Sailing Tours of
Baddeck offers a 90 minute
tour of the Bras d’Or
aboard its 40-passenger
schooner Ameoba.

Bannockburn Tours offers
an eight-hour guided nature
and history tour of the Cabot

Trail and Cape Breton High-
lands Park departing from
Baddeck daily from mid-
May to mid-October.

The lake is prime nesting
area for the bald eagle and
there are some 200 nesting
pairs
Island, most of them cofi-
centrated along the shore-
line of the Bras d’Or.

Baddeck has a variety of
visitors services including a
tourist information centre in
the centre of town. Here one
can find out about local
attractions including nearby
Usige Ban Falls Hiking
Trail, about 16 kilometres
north of town at Baddeck

on Cape Breton _

Baddeck River.

The Bell Museum sponsors
a children’s festival in mid-
June featuring kite making
and kite flying. The Baddeck
Handcraft Festival is held in
mid-July. The annual Bad-
deck Regatta, held every
year since 1904, is held in
mid-August and the Baddeck
Handcraft Festival Exhibi-
tion of Crafts is held in late
September. The Centre Bras

Winter's coming —
is your vehicle ready?

Getting your vehicle ready for cold-weather driving will
give you peace of mind in the winter months ahead. Thé
nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service
Excellence (ASE), an organization that administers
national certification tests to automotive technicians;
offers the following tips to help you get your vehicle
ready: Some: of the tips are easy; others require a
pr ional auto techni

1. The Basics. Begin by reading the owner’s manual and
becoming familiar with the various components and systems.
Follow the ded service schedul

2. General Cleaning/Maintenance. Wash and wax your
vehicle to help protect its finish. Inspect all lights and bulbs;
Replace worn wiper blades; make sure you have plenty of
washer fluid. Carry emergency gear — a shovel, a blanket, etc.

3. Battery. The only accurate way to detect a weak battery
is with the professi il at a good repair
shop. Routine care: Scrape away corrosion from posts and
cable connections; clean all surfaces; re- -tighten connections.
Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.

4. Engine Oil. The oil and filter should be changed as
specified in your owner’s manual — more often (every 3,000
miles), if you do lots of stop-and- go driving, carry heavy
loads or drive long distances.

5. Cooling System. The cooling system should be flushed
and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition and
concentration of the antifreeze should be checked
periodically (wait for the engine to cool off!). The tightness
and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be
checked by a pro.

6. Engine Performance. Correct rough idling, hard starts,
stalling or diminished power before harsh weather sets in.
Describe any changes in your engine’s performance to a
qualified technician. The air, fuel and rey filters should be
replaced according to the fe ions.

7. Heater/Defroster. For comfort and vy, the heater and
defroster should be in good working condition.

8. Tires. Tires should be rotated about every 5,000 miles.
The air pressure should be checked once a month; let the tires

“cool down” first. Examine tires for tread life, cuts and nicks,
uneven wearing and cupping. Check the spare tire and the
jack, too. Use caution before installing tire chains; they are
not compatible with some of today’s “low profile” body
styles and tire packages.

9. Brakes. Regular maintenance will extend the life of the
brakes and prevent more costly repairs due to neglect. Brakes
should be insp dasr ded by your 1, or
sooner if you notice pulsations, grabbing, noises or longer
stopping distances.

10. Finding Good Auto Service. Ask friends and associates
for secomimendations. Contact your local consumer
or; ion Pp i plai etc.

Look for orderly conditi

modem i cl
service awards and an attentive staff. Policies regarding
Pricing and guarantees should be posted.
