[ValleyNature] 2 new pond names proposed

[James W. Wolford]

OCTOBER 1, 2009 - I think that the pond that is 0.6 km. south of  
Chipman's Corner (see yesterday's wood ducks) needs a name, and I'd  
like to suggest "GESNER'S POND", since there is a mini-park and  
Gesner monument just across the road from the pond.  Similarly, the  
Ducks Unlimited pond north of New Minas adjacent to the Cornwallis  
River has been called "STELLA'S LAKE?" in the past -- why don't we  
call it "STELLA'S POND" from now on??  Are there any serious  
objections?  And does anyone know who Stella is/was? (not Stella  
MacLean?).  Of course, this is not for any geographical purposes,  
other than a convenience for us birders.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville, 542-9204
