<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That may change this summer, when some upgrades will be performed to the 40-year-old transformer and related equipment. Saint John Energy CEO Ray Robinson tells CHSJ News it'll be a little louder than usual in that area but the work needs to be done.<br /><br /><br />According to project manager Andrew Ahearn they're installing a new oil containment system that would keep any of the insulating oil from leaking into the harbour if there were ever an emergency.<br /><br />Streets by the substation may also be closed when the transformer arrives.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A 135-year-old building on Prince William Street is slated for demolition in the near future--and Mayor Mel Norton says it's the result of an outdated municipalities act that doesn't give cities enough options for dealing with vacant buildings with absentee landlords. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Norton says under the current Act, the main recourse when a building is left to decay for this long is demolition.<br /><br />The Armstrong & Bruce Insurance building at 167-171 Prince William is in very bad shape on the inside. The firm first occupied this building in 1924 and a branch of it carried on business there for about 80 years. </span>CHSJ Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386509017406381196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827428906436085979.post-57619570736607654082014-05-28T08:58:00.000-03:002014-05-28T12:48:55.219-03:00Strikers At Three Radio Stations In City Returning To Work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Earlier today, we <a href="http://country94news.blogspot.ca/2014/05/mayor-says-owner-of-bargain-shop-should.html" target="_blank">highlighted</a> the deplorable condition of the former Woolworth's at 91 King Street--namely, the unsightly brown paper that has been sagging in the windows for years.<br /><br />Local Realtor Stef Turner tells CHSJ News she just took control of the listing recently, and she's going to get rid of the paper within the week.<br /><br />She says the owner, Rod Gillis, had considered spending the money to clean up the property--however, he concluded any potential buyer would be starting from scratch anyway, and it wouldn't make sense to spend the money. Mainly, she said, it was just been a case of no one taking the initiative.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They're replacing the paper with new signage advertising the building for sale. Turner says the building is zoned for mixed usage--meaning we could see commercial</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> space on the bottom and apartments on top--and remains structurally sound despite a little water damage. Turner is inviting the public to comment on the future of 91 King Street via Twitter--for more info, click <a href="http://sjcommercialre.wordpress.com/2014/05/27/a-public-invitation-to-tweet-about-91king/" target="_blank">here</a></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Executive Director Jack Keir tells CHSJ News this time, the idea is that he would study the cost of expanding the Saint John Police force into other communities and each community can decide if they want to be policed by the S-J-P-D or not.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The former Bargain Shop--better known to long-time Saint Johners as the old Woolworth's--on the corner of King and Charlotte Street is a disgusting sight these days, with brown, water-damaged paper sagging in the windows revealing a crumbling interior. <br /><br />CHSJ News asked Mayor Mel Norton whether something can be done about the eyesore. He says what the city can do is limited, but he's personally appalled that someone in this city would allow their property to deteriorate to that level. He says they should clean it up immediately.<br /><br />The property was purchased by embattled city lawyer Rod Gillis a number of years ago. One year ago this June, Gillis was sentenced to 22 months in jail for obstruction of justice, but was freed a day later. CHSJ News tried to reach Gillis for comment, but his listed residential number has been disconnected.</span>CHSJ Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386509017406381196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827428906436085979.post-20039268940258350522014-05-27T12:46:00.000-03:002014-05-27T13:32:32.808-03:00Perry Family Says They Won't Give Up<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">According to John Gillis, the lawyer for the family, we're still no closer to setting a date for the actual inquest into Perry's death.</span>CHSJ Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386509017406381196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827428906436085979.post-62807522065888112992014-05-27T11:57:00.000-03:002014-05-27T12:11:25.567-03:00New Markets Being Explored For Canaport LNG<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">More attention has been focused on Saint John of late as a place where natural gas could be exported to Europe in light of what has been happening in Russia and the Ukraine. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Europeans are said to want to lessen their dependence on Russian natural gas. Irving Oil President Paul Browning can see the potential for Canaport L-N-G. He says Europe would be the most obvious choice as a market, and also talks about South America and India.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Browning says what the company needs before anything else takes place is an abundant supply of natural gas that's cost competitive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It appears Irving Oil and all four Atlantic Premiers who met in Saint John agree on the need on commercializing natural resources.</span>CHSJ Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386509017406381196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827428906436085979.post-91707494852074086022014-05-27T11:45:00.004-03:002014-05-27T11:45:49.609-03:00Shale Gas Protester Sentenced<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A 34-year-old man from the Elsipogtog First Nation has been ordered to steer clear of any shale gas protests in the future and placed on 18 months probation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Jason Augustine pleaded guilty to mischief, two charges of obstructing a police officer and one count of assaulting a police officer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Those charges were laid after violence on October 17th near Rexton when police moved in to control what they called a dangerous situation involving firearms, improvised explosive devices and other weapons.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Augustine also pleaded guilty to mischief in connection with another incident July 27th near Harcourt where he was blocking equipment.</span>CHSJ Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386509017406381196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827428906436085979.post-39520973861246958762014-05-27T11:12:00.001-03:002014-05-27T13:49:29.199-03:00Large Container Ship Visits The Port <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you've ever tried to get a building permit, or figure out where your application to the city is in the process, you might have noticed that the process for would-be developers in Saint John can be confusing and even contradictory. <br /><br />The City is now looking to streamline all that with a so-called One Stop Shop for development. Technical Services Engineer Pamela Bentley explains they're looking at ideas from other cities, including online permit-tracking, automated texts that tell you when your application has passed a regulatory step, same-day permits, and overall a better sense of transparency for the customers using the system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Mayor Mel Norton told the team behind the d One Stop Shop they've displayed an excellent vision, and several common Councillors referred to the streamlined process as long-need, and overdue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Council voted to support the principles behind the One Stop Shop. Documents will go to the Planning Advisory Committee for approval in the fall. </span>CHSJ Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386509017406381196noreply@blogger.com
