It’s an international sweet spot in the middle of “Nowhere.”; In her tiny Mortlach candy store, called ‘Nowhere: Your Confection Connection,’ owner Tiffany Olsen is surrounded by hard fruit-flavoured candies in colourful, pocket-size tins from France, coconut-covered marshmallows from a century-old Scottish company and flying saucer-shaped wafers filled with sour powder, originally invented in Belgium.<o:p></o:p><br />

Nearly a dozen bicycles lay unlocked around the <st1:place><st1:placename><st1:place><st1:placename>Mortlach</st1:placename></st1:place> <st1:placetype><st1:placetype>School</st1:placetype></st1:placetype></st1:placename></st1:place> grounds. A sign tells bikers to please use the racks but only one adheres to the instructions. It’s really not a big deal though – no one would steal a bike from someone as close as a relative. <o:p></o:p><br />

Although it may sound like chaos, something very special is happening in Room 20 at Mortlach School.</span><br />

<span lang="EN">It’s a windy fall day in Mortlach, which doesn’t seem to bother Tacoma one bit. The horse is too busy nibbling the grass and enjoying the open space to worry about the changing season. Like the Toyota truck he was named after, Tacoma is strong, big and has enough torque to get the job done. At age 14 he has retired from a life of roping but keeps himself busy by helping teach children at the local riding arena. </span><br />
