Bail hearing postponed on standoff charges

A Moncton man charged after a standoff with police last month remains in custody for now.

25 year old Daniel Beaupré was in court yesterday for a bail hearing on various weapons charges. His lawyer asked for an adjournment so he could go over the evidence and the judge gave him two weeks.

Beaupré has been in custody since the 9 hour standoff at a building on High Street. No one was hurt.

Another record lobster roll…but probably the last

The 68th annual Shediac Lobster Festival has broken the record again for world’s longest lobster roll…but it could be for the last time.

The volunteers put together a lobster roll that is 180 feet 2 inches, smashing the record set just a couple of weeks ago in New Hampshire.

Organizer Pierre Cormier says this is the last year the group will do this. He told the Times and Transcript they can’t make it any longer. As it is, they had to assemble it inside the Shediac Festival Arena and then take it outside to bake in the parking lot.
