That was a very busy day. Time to unwind then hit the sack for sleep.

It was a finish that lived up to every bit of its Game 7 billing, as the Truro Mosaik Bearcats skated to a 3-1 victory over East Hants Sr Penguins to capture the inaugural N.S. Senior Hockey League Hollingsworth Cup. Game photos and post-game celebration photos included thelaker.ca/bearcats-cap...

Wednesday morning close to 20 business owners and members with the East Hants Chamber came out for the coffee networking event featuring a talk from Chad Lavers from Theriault Financial. It was a good chat and nice to see so many fellow business owners out, some who I haven't seen in awhile.

Announcement from Tigger “Hi to all. Well, there’s some news to share. As of this past Sunday, I have been rehomed to a family in Halifax. It was a decision that was tough for my dad to make but when he made with my best interest at heart.”

Another sign of being a cat dad. A bump on the shoulder after getting tripped up and falling face first to the floor. And all I was doing was heading to the bathroom and Mr. Tigger got under underneath my feet. He’s good at that. If that was an Olympic sport, he would win gold I am sure.

In Tigger’s voice; Easter came a week early as we went to see Grammie and others at the manor. Dad wore his bunny ears, which made him look like a goof. And then Grammy put on the bunny ears and did her best Easter bunny impression. Now we know where dad gets his goofiness from Grammie. Hehe.”

It’s Game three game night and the Igloo is getting filled up as East Hants looks to get a win against Truro. The Bearcats lead best of seven Hollingsworth Cup 2-0. Oh and look at the swag I got 😀

Hyde’s Bridge in Lantz is closed due to the high water levels at the bridge. It will only reopen once the water recedes enough. Please share. Photos sent to the Laker news.

The water has almost reached the top of Hyde’s Bridge in Lantz. As a result, the bridge has been closed by public works until the water recedes. This video was sent to me by a resident.

The roadway with the water makes it also hard to navigate where the big pothole is as you’re trying to avoid driving through the water. So needless to say you may hit the big pothole like I did. The car seems to be OK. It was just a loud thud, and I knew I had hit it.

The parking lot at Pete’za Perfect in Elmsdale is flooded. A few minutes after I took this photo a garbage truck drove through it to pick up the garbage, but the guy could not get off the truck or else he would’ve been indeed deep water. #EastHants

In Elmsdale, the area by the lumber yard that flooded businesses a couple of years ago is once again flooded due to the amount of rain we received. This area seems to be notorious for flooding.

Vehicles pass through water that had flooded Hwy 2 by the Sportsplex that has receded. There’s an icy mess there now.

The result of what was a flooded Hwy 2 by the Sportsplex in Lantz that has receded but left an icy mess in its wake.
