The Musquash Fire Department gets an assist in helping a pair of boaters out of the water. While out during regular training last night at eight o'clock, members came across a capsized boat and two people in the Musquash River. Another vessel had already helped one person out the water and fire-fighters got the other two people out of the river and onto shore.
Their boat was also brought to shore and no one required medical attention. No one of the over-turned boat was wearing a life jacket.

New for 9am
Common council will put together a committee to work with city staff in examining revenue generating options for the city. The city's commissioner of finance Greg Yeomans says the result of cutting costs to balance the budget is false economics that leads to increased spending in the future.
Yeomans says cities also need to force provinces to do their job and look after social programs, so that cities can do their job and look after infrastructure. He says Saint John spends far too much money on social programs when there are other more basic needs to be met.
