Nova Scotia Power explains Monday’s transmission issue, outages due to freezing rain

Tens of thousands of Maritimers were without power for part of the day Monday following the latest round of rain and freezing rain in the region.

In Nova Scotia, there were 56,000 customers without electricity early in the morning. At that time, Nova Scotia Power said the outages were due to a "transmission disruption.”

The utility later said the significant outages were related to its transmission tie to New Brunswick.

Matt Drover, the senior director of transmission and distribution operations for Nova Scotia Power, says freezing rain caused ice-build up on distribution lines in the northern part of the province.

“And just after 5:30 a.m. (Monday) morning, we did lose that main tie to New Brunswick due to ice build-up and that led to the significant customer outages that we had,” he told CTV Atlantic’s Todd Battis.

Drover says there is a 345,000-volt line and a 138,000-volt line running to New Brunswick.

“We also have the Maritime Link that connects us to Newfoundland and when we lost that main tie to New Brunswick that did separate us from the grid at that point.”

After the connection was lost, Nova Scotia Power customers had their consumption reduced in order to stabilize the grid.

Drover says the utility has “very detailed procedures in place” if the system does become unstable.

“We are able to reduce the load very quickly and then, once things have stabilized, we are able to bring those customers back on. So that whole process was about two hours, some locations, a little bit less than that, and some locations just over, but roughly two hours to get everybody back on.”

Most of Monday morning’s outages were in the Halifax area, which is part of Nova Scotia Power’s plan when power needs to be reduced.

“We look at areas that have the most customers in a central location, and we try to geographically spread that throughout the province as well, so the Halifax-HRM area had some areas that were affected, as well as the Truro, New Glasgow and Sydney areas,” says Drover.

It has been a mild winter in the Maritimes, with few snow events that are typically seen in the region in mid-January.

Drover says windy and rainy conditions pose different, and sometimes more severe, problems when it comes to restoring power.

“With snow or wind events, mostly what we see are trees coming down onto our lines and once the weather had passed through, we can remove those trees and get the power back on relatively quickly,” he explained.

“And some cases, depending on how big the damage is, with ice build-up, it is significant build-up on the trees that hangs in there, so the ice continues until it melts. So in some cases we have to physically remove the ice, or in other cases, if the ice can’t be removed, the temperature needs to warm up for that ice to be removed and then the power to be restored.”

Drover adds that pruning trees “always helps” reduce the potential impact of branches on power lines.

“With the customers that are off right now in the northern part of the province, that ice build-up on the trees that led to the distribution outages, continued vegetation management, removal of trees, getting them further away from lines would definitely help with that.”

As of 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, 62 Nova Scotia Power customers were without electricity, with the largest outage in East Mapleton, just outside of Springhill, N.S. It’s estimated that power in that area will be restored by the afternoon.

Satan, Prince of This World

In March the same year, Weishaupt again wrote to his friend “Cato” (Zwack). He said: “I have gone through the whole circle of human inquiry. I have exorcised spirits.21 I raised ghosts; discovered treasures; interrogate the Cabale;22 I have never transmuted metals. I would have executed much greater things had not the government (his superiors in the Luciferian conspiracy at the time) always opposed my exertions and placed others in situations which suited my talents.”

Weishaupt was literally as proud as Lucifer. He was determined to become the Sovereign Pontiff of the Luciferian Creed. He was determined to be placed higher than any other person in this or the celestial world, excepting only his beloved Lucifer. This statement is proved by a letter he wrote “Cato” (Zwack) in 1778. He told his friend: “By this plan we shall direct all mankind. In this manner, and by the simplest means, we shall set all in motion and in flames. The occupations must be so allotted and contrived, that we may, in secret, influence all political “transactions”.... I have considered everything, and so prepared it, that if the Order should this day go to ruin, I shall in a year reestablish it more brilliant than ever.” There we have the key to the secret. The Bavarian government discovered and exposed the existence of the continuing conspiracy, but Weishaupt built it up and made it stronger than ever. All the Bavarian government actually did was prune the Tree of Evil and make it grow stronger. What they should have done was dig it up by the roots and burn it as the Holy Scriptures tell us we must do if we wish to destroy the Spiritual Forces of Darkness who roam about this world seeking the destruction of Souls (Matt. 7: 15-24). If the heads of Church and state had in 1786 followed the advice of the scriptures and cut down and burned the Evil Tree, of which the Illuminati is only one of many branches, “the womb would have forgot him (Weishaupt); the worm would have fed sweetly on him; he would be no more remembered; and wickedness would have been broken as an evil tree.” (Job 24:20)

Before Weishaupt was banished in 1786, his 2,000 well educated, carefully selected, brilliant-minded, wealthy and well bred Illuminists had established one or more Lodges of the Grand Orient in Munich, Ingolstadt, Frankfort, Echstadt, Hanover, Brunswick, Calbe, Magdeburgh, Cassel, Osnabruck, Wiemar, Saxony, Heidelbergh, Mannheim, Strasbourg, Spire, Worms, DusseldorfF, Cologne, Bonn, Livonia, Courtland, Franendahl, Alsace, Wienne, Deuxponts, Hesse, Cousel, Buchenwerter, Treves, Montpelier, Aix-la-Chapelle, Stuttgart, Barschied, Carlsruhe, Hahrenberg, Anspach, Neuweid, Mentz, Rome, Naples, Ancona, Turin, Florence, Warsaw, and Dresden. There were Lodges in Upper Saxony, Westphalis, Switzerland, France, Scotland, Holland, and last but by no means least, America.

Many, so-called, authorities have, since 1786, tried to convince the heads of Church and state in America and elsewhere that Illuminism is dead as the Dodo bird. These Luciferians produce what they claim is documentary evidence to prove what they say is the TRUTH, but they are careful to conceal the evidence which proves that Albert Pike reorganized the Palladian Rite between 1859 and 1889 to take over the direction of the Luciferian conspiracy from the Illuminati. They carefully conceal the evidence which proves that Illuminism began to stink in the nostrils of honest Americans. In the early 1800’s 45,000 Scottish Rite masons handed in their charters in protest against the manner Illuminism had infiltrated into their lodges. This it is that few Americans know that Pike established twenty-six councils (triangles) of this New and Reformed Palladian Rite in every large city throughout the world to direct the Luciferian conspiracy as Weishaupt intended. We explain how this plot worked in another chapter.

We mentioned that Professor John Robison of Edinburgh University was one of those entrusted with a copy of Zwack’s original manuscripts dealing with Weishaupt’s revised and modernized version of the age old Luciferian conspiracy.

Robison was a 33rd degree member of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. As such he visited most Masonic Lodges in European cities, and took part in their rituals and initiations. He taught Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh University. He was secretary of the Royal Society. Weishaupt had been particularly anxious to obtain Robison’s cooperation so that the “IDEA” of a One World Government could be introduced into ALL educational institutions. This objective has since been achieved as any parent of children of school age must

21 The word “exorcised” means to expel a devil or devils from a person who has been possessed. The scriptures tell us how Christ cast out devils. But Satanists invite devils to enter into, and possess, their mediums and through them to speak to those who seek knowledge or advice from Satan and/or Lucifer. After the medium has served their purpose, the High Priests of the Synagogue of Satan then “exorcised” the devils from that person’s body, and he or she becomes normal again. It is this practice which caused the Synagogue of Satan which wished to discredit Christ, to accuse him of casting out devils in the name, and through the powers of Beelzebub the Prince of Devils and not by the power of God. (Luke 11:14-15)

22 The Cabale (often spelled differently) as referred to by Weishaupt means “The Spiritual Powers headed by Lucifer in the celestial world:” the Holy Scriptures refer to them “As the spiritual Powers of Darkness.” Human beings who direct the Luciferian cause often consult their spiritual directors in the celestial world, in exactly the same way as millions of Christians believe in the Communion of the Saints and pray to them to intercede with God on their behalf for spiritual insight and blessings. Mackenzie King while Prime Minister of Canada repeatedly tried to obtain advice and guidance from people who had already departed from this life. Pike is on record as having done so repeatedly also; the best recorded instance is his own report of the seance he personally conducted in St. Louis as reported elsewhere. Thus we see that “Truth” is much stranger than any fiction ever written.

It’s that time of year again. Cold and flu season is right around the corner but as always nature has perfect timing. You can find an all natural flu fighter in the form of elderberries that ripen around this time of year (August/September). But hang on! Before you rush off to go picking these berries to put into your freezer for the winter, there’s a few things you should know!

According to Edible Wild Food, the American Elderberry tree (Sambucus canadensis) is “sometimes propagated as an ornamental shrub[.] The elderberry bush is a member of the honeysuckle family. It attracts birds and butterflies and can be pruned back every few years to keep it looking good in a landscaped garden. This deciduous shrub produces a fruit that, in recent years has become very popular. The white flowers transform into dark purple fruit late summer….Sambucus canadensis is a very close cousin of Sambucus nigra (European Elderberry).

[DESCRIPTION]

Trunk/Bark

Elder is characterised by its short trunk (bole). This deciduous shrub has soft, smooth, gray-brownish bark with corky bumps and furrowed bark. Older bark is brownish gray with shallow fissures, becoming rough with thin, plate-like scales.

Branches/Twigs

Twigs are hairless, yellowish green with a white pith and scattered, large lenticels (pores). There is spongy, white pith inside the twigs and branches. Some bushes can be as almost wide as they are tall.

Height

Up to 3 metres.

Leaves/Needles

The leaves are pinnate with 5 to 9 leaflets (rarely 3 or 11). Each leaf is 5 to 30 cm long, and the dark green leaflets have serrated margins.

Flowers

Each radially symmetrical flower has 5 flattened, white petals in a large umbrella-shaped cluster and has five protruding stamens (male parts). The overall flower head measures anywhere between 15 and 30 cm in diametre.

Fruit

Edible purplish-black fruit ripens in drooping clusters late summer and they measure 3–5 mm in diameter. Elderberries are particularly rich in flavonoids, especially anthocyanins. In addition to their culinary uses, elderberries are commonly used in cough syrups.

Habitat

Elderberry prefers moist soil but tolerates dry soil as well. It grows best in full sun. It is native to a large area of North America, east of the Rocky Mountains. They grow wild in parts of Mexico and Central America.

Edible Parts

The berries and flowers are edible. Flowers can be tossed into a salad. Eating the berries raw is not favoured by many. Elderberries tend to end up as pies, in pancakes, jams, jellies, and in wine making.”

According the to United States Forest Service, “American pokeweed is a member of the Phytolaccaceae, the Pokeweed family. Members of the family are found around the world in tropical and subtropical distribution with a few species that occur in temperate areas. About 16 genera and 100 species are recognized in the family. The genus Phytolacca contains about 25 species which range from herbs to shrubs to tall trees. Two native species of pokeweed are recognized in North America, one found across much of North America and one found in California and the southwestern U.S. A few tropical species have been introduced unintentionally in imported products or intentionally as ornamentals.

This pokeweed is usually 1.8 meter to 3.0 meters (about 6 to 10 feet) tall, but may in some instances reach 21 feet tall. One or more stems arise from a tuber-like taproot that can become large over several years. The often pinkish-red, smooth and partially hollow stem is rigid to flexible, not strong, and up to 5 centimeters (2 inches) diameter.

The leaves are alternate, thin, green on top, and lighter below. The leaves are usually 20 to 35 centimeters (7 3/4 to 14 3/4 inches) long by 10 to 18 centimeters (about 4 to 7 inches) wide. They are tapered at both ends. Bruised or crushed leaves and stems have a somewhat acrid odor.

Flowers are borne in pinkish racemes, linear clusters with each flower on a short stem. The flowers are usually white to greenish, but may be pinkish or purplish. Flowers have 5 sepals, no petals, about 10 stamens. It produces purple-black berries that are about 6 to 11 millimeters (1/4 to 2/5 inches) diameter with 6 to 12 seeds.

American pokeweed is a species of open or edge habitats, especially those where birds are able to roost. It is found at forest edge, in fence rows, under power lines, pastures, old field, forest openings, and other similar areas. It is sometimes a garden or yard weed. It is found from Washington south to California then east through Arizona and New Mexico to the Atlantic coast, north to Nebraska, Minnesota and Maine. It is also found in Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick in Canada.

This species may flower year around in southern states, and May to October in northern states. The entire plant is poisonous causing a variety of symptoms, including death in rare cases. The berries are especially poisonous. Young leaves and stems when properly cooked are edible and provide a good source of protein, fat and carbohydrate. Regional names for the plant include poke, poke sallet, poke salad, and pokeberry. The fruits are important food for mockingbirds, northern cardinals, and mourning doves. The name “phytolacca” means red dye plant.”

If you take a look at the picture I’ve provided, you can see some key differences. While the berries look similar because of the color, they grow differently. Elderberries grow in a bunch, like grapes. Pokeberries on the other hand grow more in a straight line. Elderberries are also smooth while pokeberries (at least in this picture) look like black curled up Rollie pollie pill bugs. The biggest indicator though is the color of the stalk/stem. A mature poke plant, like many poisonous plants, will have a magenta (reddish purple or hot pink) stem.

This website has two wonderful videos that show the difference between the plants.

Persimmons in Brunswick Melbourne

Diospyros kaki (family Ebenaceae)

Persimmon, Kaki, Japanese Persimmon

Persimmons are not the most common fruit here in Melbourne and I was stunned to find this amazing tree in the backyard of a client’s rental in Brunswick. She didn’t prune, water or fertilise it yet it was producing an amazing amount of fruit. 

Persimmon trees are deciduous and according to California rare fruit growers can grow to 8 metres in height (https://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/persimmon.html)  but I’ve never seen one that large here. 

There are two varieties of persimmon astringent and non astringent. Non Astringent varieties can be eaten when the colour of the fruit is still firm and changes from orange to yellow. Astringent  varieties need to be picked when orange and firm then left to soften at room temperature before eating.

Persimmons are said to be native to China from where they spread to Korea and Japan. 

Diospyrus is of greek origin and translates to “divine fruit” or “wheat of Zues”.

Fruits of their labour; Maritime apple farmers ready for harvest

The arrival of fall means harvest season for many Maritime farmers.

While a summer drought and pandemic made it a challenging growing season for farmers, at least one popular crop seems to have flourished.

“A piece of advice for everybody… take somebody tall to the orchard!” jokes Chas MacKay, from his apple orchard in Long Reach, New Brunswick.

MacIntosh apples are one of the 20 apple varieties growing at MacKay’s U-Pick orchard overlooking the Saint John River.

MacKay has tended about 1,200 apple trees over the past three decades, and says there’s nothing like the magic of the harvest that occurs every September.

“Like two weeks before you pick them, they’re still kind of green and hidden. And then, all of a sudden, the colour changes, you can see them and it’s like the lights have been turned on!” describes MacKay.

These days, those lights are being turned on in orchards and fields across the Maritime region, despite a troubling year.

Many Maritime farmers say they experienced some of the worst drought conditions in recent memory this summer. But the good news is a lot of apples survived the drought better than expected, a big relief for farmers like MacKay.

“You always expect the worst, hope for the best, and get something in the middle,” says MacKay.

While not all crops will be so lucky this year, experts say apple trees are built for adversity.

“When you take trees like apple trees, that have really deep root systems, they can go in search of water a long ways down and a long ways out, more than people think,” explains Jim Landry of Landscape New Brunswick.

The annual September harvest comes after a full year of work, including tree pruning and maintaining the orchard.

“People that are in farming, they get it, but not too many other people do,” says MacKay. “It’s a lot of work, and you sell everything in a short window, and then you start all over again.”

After one of the more difficult seasons in recent memory, Maritime apple growers can finally begin to enjoy the fruits of their labour,
