Rural living is never boring. If any of you would like some exciting reading about the pros and cons of our new Englishtown ferry -- an area issue that clearly brings out emotions -- and whether or not a bridge might be a solution to some problems, check out this letter to the editor in the Cape Breton Post and be sure to read all of the replies. Here's a little background: we have a car ferry, run by the provincial transport department, employing 15 - 20 men and women, that crosses from Englishtown to the spit at Jersey Cove. You will read that taking the ferry saves driving time for those who live north of it. Our new ferry has had its problems (you will read about some of them in the posts) so doesn't always sail, clearly a frustration for some. When the ferry doesn't sail, and there are an assortment of reasons, some of them not always clear, travellers and commuters must drive the Cabot Trail around the St. Ann's Bay loop to access the highway.
