NB man dies rescuing whale

Rescuing whales is a dangerous business…and a whale rescuer has died in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Details are still scarce but CBC reports Joe Howlett, of Campobello Island, was killed yesterday while trying to rescue a whale in the Gulf. DFO has only confirmed there was a death aboard one of its vessels.

Speeders beware

Watch your speedometer.

Codiac RCMP says Mounties will be paying special attention to speeding in residential areas in Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview. They often get calls about speeders especially in areas where children gather…playgrounds and schools. So they will be concentrating on those areas. The fine for speeding isĀ  $172 or more.
