A new six-storey, 74-unit apartment building is being planned at the site of the old Queen's Arms Motel site in Charlottetown, behind the existing building.
Christmas at the Open Arms Motel

As a freelance writer in 1979, I accompanied a photographer to interview sheepherders out west. These hardy workers stayed with the flock six weeks, visited by camp tenders who brought food, radio batteries, mail, and a single bottle of Early Times to them.
On Christmas Day I had an appointment to interview a female herder as she kept watch over her sheep in northwest Wyoming. But something inside her snapped in isolation. She quit to return home to West Virginia.
