Flowers still make good Mother's Day present
Flowers are still a popular Mother's Day gift according to Paul's Flower Shop owner Mark Farwell.
Farwell says flowers are like a breath of fresh air in spring, and they just make mom feel good.
The most popular flowers are tulips, lilies, daisies, and roses.
Farwell says there is still a large variety of selection available, so it's not too late to buy flowers if you're late in your shopping or you've accidentally forgotten to pick something up.

Non-Profit Housing Association plans to work with municipalities
Members of the province's Non Profit Housing Association got a bus tour of affordable housing sites in Saint John while they were in town for a three day conference.
Executive member Tim Ross says too many people have the false belief that building affordable housing draws crime and drugs to a neighbourhood.
He says the association plans to fix this by working with municipalities.
The association currently has over 62,000 units in the province housing 32,000 people.

City Arts Board wants Peel Plaza to be a public place
Saint John Arts Board Chair Mike Wennberg says art is the key factor in making Peel Plaza more than just a set of buildings.
After a presentation from Wennberg suggesting a public art committee should be formed, Police Commission Chairman Christopher Waldschutz says installing art at Peel Plaza is inevitable.
The City has already adopted a policy saying they must put 1% of capital towards public art.
Wennberg hopes the piece for Peel Plaza will be outside where people have access to it.

Home and business owners are growing concerned with what's going on at Point Lepreau with a three per cent rate hike by NB Power set to be reviewed by the Energy and Utilities Board next month.
Refurbishment costs continue to balloon as does the schedule as problems arise with no solutions.
Energy Minister Jack Keir says the $475 million dollar over-run to the deferral account and million dollars a day for replacement power hasn't been included in any increase to this point.
Minister Keir adds taking Atomic Energy of Canada to court to re-coup some of the costs is still a possibility.
