The seat for the riding of Kent officially became vacant last week after Graham quit politics. 

Liberal Leader Brian Gallant will run for the party and the Progressive Conservatives will choose their candidate on Wednesday.    Graham resigned after he was found to be in a conflict of interest over a $50-million loan guarantee his government gave to a construction firm in 2009.

The province's conflict of interest commissioner said Graham should have removed himself from the cabinet discussions about the loan guarantee to Acton because it had ties to his father.

Driscoll says the Rothesay Regional Police already work closely with Saint John, sharing staff with the regional emergency tactical team, street crime drug enforcement and canine services, in addition to other areas. He says the current system isn't broken, and doesn't need fixing.

Many City Boards Need Your Spare Time

18 of the 60 organizations the Saint John Volunteer Centre recruits for are currently looking to fill vacancies on their boards.
 
Eileen McLaughlin tells CHSJ News part of the reason is people are so busy these days and have very little free time for volunteering.

She says the workplace is more demanding than usual which is impacting volunteerism because people have less time to give back.

McLaughlin says between meetings, committees and work it shakes down to a 6 to 8 hour time commitment a month.   You can apply on their website.

Organised Labour Says No Need To Change E-I

The Employment Insurance programme is seen by the federal government, regardless of which party is in power, as being its cash cow to be used when needed to reduce the deficit even though it doesn't contribute a nickel to the fund. 

That charge being levelled by Serge Landry of the Canadian Labour Congress who was in Saint John speaking at a town hall meeting and warning workers the appeal process is being made harder.
 
Landry tells CHSJ News the E-I programme doesn't have a funding problem at all. In fact, the C-L-C has suggested there's a surplus and benefits could be increased.

Landry says last year in New Brunswick, there were 35 thousand unemployed workers with only 38 hundred available jobs.

Value For Money Study On Water Completed

Common Council has been told by Price Waterhouse Cooper, taxpayers in the city will get better value for their money by going with the public-private partnership or P-3 model to build the water treatment plant on the east side. 

Common Council has been told there would be a 10 to 15 per cent savings for ratepayers. 

Meantime, former Mayor Ivan Court says the city also has to get some of the big industrial water users to pay their fair share and not the rates they were paying in 1958.

Price Waterhouse Cooper estimates yearly water rates would range from $1,450 to $1,550  by the year 2030 under the P-3 model as opposed to $1,650 to $1,750 a year under the traditional method of funding.

As Commissioner of Official Languages Michel Carrier prepares to retire within the coming months, the two-term commissioner tells CHSJ News the two solitudes have moved much closer to one another since official bilingualism was first introduced.

 He tells CHSJ News there has been increased understanding between French and English-speakers since the Official Languages act was first introduced 40 years ago under Premier Louis Robichaud--and according to a recent poll as high as 84% of New Brunswickers support official bilingualism.

Sleep Deprivation Is A Growing Problem With Far Reaching Implications

63 per cent of us don't get enough sleep and 47 per cent cut down on their sleep so they can squeeze more out of their day and one-third of people are getting less sleep than they got 5 years ago.

That message delivered at the Regional Hospital by Dr. Kimberly Cote, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Brock University in Ontario.

Dr. Cote says adolescents need 9 hours of sleep a night and most are not getting that much and they can't catch up on the weekends.

She adds sleep deprivation impairs your mood, alertness, response time, attention and memory which should be of concern to employers because it adversely affects the bottom line as well as making accidents and mistakes more likely.

Dr. Cote also says those people who don't get enough sleep are more likely to gain weight.

The Bishop for Saint John diocese calls the choice of Argentina's Cardinal Bergoglio as the new Pope "exciting".
 
Robert Harris tells CHSJ News by choosing the name Francis it recalls St. Francis of Assissi who served the poor and was called to rebuild the church in the 11th century.

Harris says it was a powerful message when he stepped out on the balcony in just a white cossack and a simple cross and led the crowd in prayer.

Frustration And Anger Voiced At Town Hall Meeting

"It's time to step it up a notch".......That was the consensus from a town hall meeting at Exhibition Park which drew a small but vocal group of workers, mostly women, who aren't happy about the changes coming to Employment Insurance. Many of those coming out are schoolbus drivers who are considered seasonal workers. 

The President of local 1190 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Andy Hardy says the politicians aren't listening so the time has come to get in their faces more. The suggestion was made of camping out in the offices of the Conservative MP's, all of whom voted in favour of the changes.

Wayne Dryer, who's a businessman, is a member of the Scrap the Changes Committee because he questions why in the world would he hire a seasonal worker and spend all the time and resources to train a person who will be leaving a few months later.

A former cab company owner and local  businessman has announced he's throwing his hat in the ring for the empty seat in Ward 3.

Gerry Lowe tells CHSJ News he's all for creating jobs in the industrial sector including potash, shale gas, and a West-East oil pipeline--because at the end of the day, running the city is the same as any business and comes down to the almighty dollar.

Federal Money Will Fund A Research Chair and Equipment

Saint John MP Rodney Weston came by with $625 thousand dollars for the Dalhousie medical school to fund a research chair and buy specialized occupational medicine equipment. 

Dr. Tony Reiman tells us it's not the kind of thing you find in a hardware store but customized equipment that scientists need in the lab when they are trying to understand the biology of some health problem.

Reid Says Speed Limit Changes Require The Province

Lower speeds on streets like Main Street or the Causeway might appeal to pedestrians and cyclists....but according to Police Chief Bill Reid they also pose a number of legislative challenges.

He says you have to get provincial folks on side and everything comes with a strategy but there is nothing wrong with moving forward.

Reid says when such motions have been brought before council in the past the province has objected due to concerns about congestion and slower commutes.

Reardon Wants The City Speed Limits Lowered

Not so fast! Common councillor Donna Reardon asking city staff to consider lowering the speed limit in the city to a maximum of 50km per hour. 

The councillor tells CHSJ News as an avid pedestrian she often sees the speed limits ignored.     She says the cars are always speeding here and she says if we want to be more pedestrian-friendly and walkable the speeds should come down a bit.

Reardon asking city staff to investigate the possibility of overhead radar speed monitors like they have in Ontario, which would allow the police to nab speeders more effectively.

Province Changes Mind About Deer Farming

The Alward government had talked about banning deer farming after a man in northern New Brunswick was killed sometime ago by one of his own deer but will allow the farming of white-tailed deer in the province. 

A review was done after the government got some pushback on a ban.
 
The provincial government will not allow pen hunting and farmers will not be permitted to sell white-tailed deer meat and other white-tailed products within New Brunswick.
 
Deer farmers will have to comply with provincial rules on fencing standards and identification of farmed deer in order to obtain a permit to keep white-tailed deer. 

They will also be required to comply with any federal requirements in order to lessen the risk to wild populations of white-tailed deer.

New Fire Department Training Academy Could Be Up And Running Within Months

Plans for a new training academy unveiled by the Saint John Fire Department at an open house. 

The previous training tower was judged to be unsafe in 2008 and then torn down in 2011. 

Fire Chief Kevin Clifford tells CHSJ News a new training facility, which would cost something like 750 thousand dollars, is essential for firefighters to maintain skills they may not use on a regular basis.

He also says it's essential for firefighters in a city like Saint John where you have a concentration of heavy industry, a nuclear power plant nearby, among the oldest housing stock in the country and alot of vacant buildings that have become attractive targets for arson.

The Chief is hoping to have the new training tower ready to be used in the fall. One location being looked at is McIntosh Street off Boar's Head Road. He would like to see it generate a bit of revenue with other fire departments training there.

They would be the Saint John end of the Nauwigewauk Loop Road, which is prone to flooding, and Porter Road. 

Police are also keeping a close watch on the Hammond River Road. At last report, water levels are about even with the road but if they rise then there would would be an overflow onto the road itself.

April The Monkey Gives Birth

The Cherry Brook Zoo has a new addition. 

April, the monkey who was swiped from the zoo when she was 9 months old and returned three days later, has given birth to a healthy baby. The birth is significant, since the callimico goeldii species has been in steady decline. 

The zoo's Linda Collrin tells CHSJ news that their natural habitat in the upper Amazon has been destroyed by logging, farming and infrastructure.

The species survival program sent the zoo two males to breed with April, and Collrin says even after her kidnapping experience, she's a natural when it comes to motherhood.

Deer: Cute, Or Cull-Worthy?

Menace, or majestic suburban pets? Our listeners have some widely differing opinions on whether there should be a cull of the deer in the KV area.

Colton says he supports eating wild game and sometimes common sense needs to outweigh emotions. I say cull them.

Tiffany has another solution, saying "I think when a developer is building a new subdivision they should be responsible for relocating the deer to another habitat. "

Stephanie asks Would you rather they slowly starve to death because of limited food throughout the winter months?

But Vivian says the deers have limited space to live as it is: leave them alone before karma comes on you.

If you have opinion on the deer problem--or lack of problem--please join the conversation on Facebook or Twitter.

Police Chief Outlines Some Challenges In Snook Case

With the child sex abuse investigation into former common councillor Donnie Snook continuing to bring forward new victims, Police Chief Bill Reid is hoping they can help everyone affected find some kind of justice.

Reid tells CHSJ News the wheels of justice turn more smoothly if you can get everyone to come forward in a timely fashion. He says it's vastly preferable to deal with all the complaints in one shot than see them trickle in over 6 or 7 years.

Reid says investigators are dealing with a number of challenges, including the fact that some kids are too young to articulate the information and some families are in denial that abuse has occurred.

Donnie Snook reappears in court on May 29th.

Special Police Unit Investigating SJ Area Pedophiles

The Internet Child Exploitation Unit of the police force reports they are investigating 5 child sex abuse files in the Saint John area in the last week alone, and there are currently 50 suspected cases of pedophiles sharing abuse images across the province.

Constable Tonia Williams of the ICE Unit tells CHSJ News law enforcement is constantly trying to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technologies predators have at their disposal.

The ICE Unit gave a presentation to Police Commission outlining how they respond to cases of child porn sharing. The unit advises parents to monitor what their kids are doing even if the computer is in a common area---because they've seen videos that show the parent was even in the same room when their child was chatting on webcam with a pedophile.
