‘He's my hero': Diver rescues lost ring in Nova Scotia lake
Anthony Doherty thought he'd lost his ring forever, but thanks to a dedicated diver, he's been reunited with the deeply personal item. Doherty said he was swimming in the water with his kids on Wednesday when he grabbed a floaty. His finger got caught on a hook and his ring fell below the murky waves. Doherty searched for the ring, but to no avail. 'I got the ring from my father-in-law, who's now passed,' he said. 'I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage and he gave me his father's ring. It was very, very valuable to me. 'I never thought I'd see it again. I left here devastated.' Doherty's wife put out a call for help on social media and recreational diver Nate McLagan answered. 'I went out there with my detector,' he said. 'Luckily enough when I swung over it, it makes the noise and vibrates and that told me I was dead on. I got a little closer and then, boom, found it.' Doherty said he woke up to a picture of McLagan holding the ring in his hand. 'It's too good to be true,' he said. 'I showed up here to meet him and I couldn't hold my tears. It was tears of joy.

Bradford eyes $120k price tag for ‘world's largest carrot' installation
Bradford is hoping to root itself in years of history, quite literally, with a towering 40-foot carrot. Unveiled during a June 17 council meeting, a model of the proposed statue was presented as part of celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the Holland Marsh. If approved, the massive metal carrot could nearly double the height of the current world record-holder in Ohakune, New Zealand. 'This has been a dream for decades,' said Jody Mott, executive director of the Holland Marsh Growers' Association, who presented the plan with longtime farmer and friend Ferguson Mobbs. largest carrot At 7.5 metres tall, this is a very large model of the tasty orange vegetable that was installed in 1984 in Ruapehu, New Zealand. (RUAPEHU) The proposed carrot would be handcrafted by Alex and Nathan Merango, a father-son duo of farmers and metalworkers who have worked in the marsh for decades. Alex, 73, has been hoping to see this vision come to life for nearly half a century. 'For over 16 years, Alex has always said, 'Jody, Jody, please. Let's do this carrot,'' Mott said. 'We've applied, tried to get the funding for the past 50 years. It's been a dream. For the past 20 years, it's been a dream of Ferguson's. I would love to have this, because again, we are the soup and salad bowl of Canada and Ontario. One-point-six kilograms of carrots per Canadian come out of that Marsh.' The marsh is one of the most fertile and vital agriculture areas in the country. Designed to be a bold statement, the piece would be installed on a stretch of Holland Street West. It could rally people into the downtown core, something Mott said is even more important with the future bypass on the horizon. Constructed from metal, the carrot will feature copper elements that could oxidize and turn green over time, adding a weathered character to the root vegetable. The price tag? Around $100,000 to $120,000, but Mott said there are plans in the works to seek private donations. 'I'm going to approach private funders myself. Ferguson's going to keep me in line and keep me grounded,' Mott said. Carrot Bradford council received the Hallmark Committee and Holland Grower Association presentation regarding the proposed giant carrot art statue in honor of the Holland Marsh's 100th anniversary this year dated June 17, 2025. (Supplied) Council responded with some questions about the long-term care and footings. 'My only concern is obviously the cost and maintenance,' councillor Joseph Giordano noted. 'If it's third-party funded, I'm okay with that, but we need a plan for asset management, inspections, and upkeep.' Adding a few extra concerns, 'Number one is the structural integrity obviously is important. The footings and foundations and whatnot... that has to be fully engineered, which you've given us assurance that you're going to be working through, which is paramount for this to take place.' Admiring the ambitious idea Giordano said, 'I love the idea of the copper on the top. So, as it as it starts to age it gives it that green look. The steel from my engineering side of the things - we're usually not allowed to let things rust or pit.' Councillor Jonathan Scott chimed in, noting the artistic legacy potential of the massive metal vegetable. 'I am a huge supporter of adding more public art to this town. We've had our murals, we have that beautiful sculpture through Summerlyn, and I think this is fantastic, subject to all the fundraising and the requirements that you've spoken to.' 'This is a tourist attraction piece too. It's going to be great for our community, and I'm excited about it myself,' said Bradford Mayor James Leduc, echoing Scott's sentiments. 'I know there's lots of people that are excited about this, so congratulations.' Ultimately, council was in favor of the monumental project, asking the committee to return with a detailed plan. Mayor James Leduc embraced the concept with humor, 'We can plant it now and start to have it. We'll pull the tarp off it on in October when it's grown.'
