Parole board decision regarding a North Sydney man

24 year old Jeffrey Daniel MacIntyre of North Sydney, who was jailed after pleading guilty to extortion and sexual assault involving a 14-year-old girl; has had his statutory release revoked by the Parole Board of Canada.

MacIntyre was released in January to a halfway house, but failed to complete a sex offender maintenance program.

A search of MacIntyre’s room also found a pair of women’s underwear.

He also admitted that he had smoked a joint.

Cassette comeback in Sydney

There are young people today who’ve never even seen a cassette tape, let alone listened to one.

But it’s the format a band from Cape Breton has chosen for its new album.

Strongboy, a four-piece pop rock band; says that’s because you have to wait a long time to have CDs mass-produced and people are not really buying CDs very much anymore.

They added that vinyl is incredibly expensive to produce.
