In thecommunityRandall Prime of Waterbury Newton in KentvilleIt’s a great pleasure for me to be able to write something for theBarristers’ <strong>Society</strong> on Randall Prime, a lawyer with the Kentvillefirm, Waterbury Newton. A well known and highly respectedmember of our community, Randall is first and foremost known asa business person who provides his clients with high quality service.Likely unbeknownst to many, he is also an individual who providescountless hours to the Valley community as a volunteer.I’ve known Randall for approximately ten years; initially meetingwhen he volunteered to coach my son David’s soccer team. As a coachhe always went above and beyond what was required to ensure thatthe boys and girls in his program developed as players and as youngpeople in an atmosphere of fun, often providing treats and awardsto the kids from his own pocket. Players and parents alike alwaysenjoyed the end of season party – complete with BBQ and hundredsof water balloons. In fact, parents and players have so enjoyed him asa coach that they oftenwrite on the registrationform “Randall Prime’steam please.”John Bedard President,Valley Sport & Multipurpose AssociationAs a competing coach I can say from experience that Randall alsoenjoyed being a “competitor”, and more often than not always achievedhis year-end goals. (He was the first coach with the Kings West SoccerClub to bring home a Provincial Gold Medal.) At the same time I canalso attest to his sportsmanship when not on the receiving end of a win.He was always ready with a warm smile, a hearty “congratulations”,and a slap on the back for a job well done.More recently, Randall devoted a significant number of hours in legalwork, free of charge, to the Valley Sport and Multipurpose FacilitiesAssociation, and was one of the founding members of the new andhighly successful $2 million dollar indoor soccer facility located inKentville. His office door is always open – even at his busiest time ofthe year – to listen to the daily issues and challenges of constructingthis large community project. He has provided work on mortgages,land leases with the Town of Kentville, tenant leases, and managementagreements to our organization free of charge – and usually deliveredto our door with a smile.Randall has also provided many, many volunteer hours to the <strong>No</strong>va<strong>Scotia</strong> Spina Bifida Association, and I believe sits on their nationalbody as well.The new $2 million dollar indoor soccer facility located in Kentville, N<strong>SR</strong>andall Prime is a quiet but very strong pillar in our community herein the Valley.<strong>January</strong> <strong>2007</strong> 23
