The YMCA’s Youth-Skills Link project is getting funding from Ottawa. Sydney-Victoria MP Mark Eyking announced $644,543 for the project this week.
The Cape Breton Post reports the project helps young people between 16 and 29 strengthen their leadership and life skills. The focus is on helping youth who face barriers to employment because of disabilities or because they are single parents, or newcomers or live in rural areas.
A Glace Bay man will go to trial in April in the death of 21 year old Laura Catherine Jessome whose remains were found in a hockey bag in the Mira River in 2012.
Setting a date for the trial of 41 year old Thomas Ted Barrett was delayted several times because he had trouble fuinding a lawyers to represent him. He’s already serving a life sentence for killing Elizabeth MacKinnon in 2006.
A co-accused in the Jessome case, Morgan James McNeil, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in September and was sentenced to seven years. Robert Edwin Matheson got 3½ years for helping to dispose of the body.
