Home lottery winner

A Saint John woman has a brand new home.

Shirley Barton won the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation’s annual home lottery last night, according to the Telegraph-Journal. She now has a very nice $900,000 house on Summer Haven Crescent in Rothesay.

The money raised goes to the Saint John Regional Hospital…but nothing specific.  The money goes to various undesignated funds that can be used to address the most urgent needs the hospital brings to the foundation.

Stormy weather

The province was battered yesterday for a second time this week by a pre-winter storm. This time it was worst in the north.

Still we got some more snow in the Greater Moncton area for a total of almost 30cms in the two storms. There was also a lot of wind…and power lines coming down.

Thousands of NB Power customers are still in the dark this morning….mainly from the Fredericton and Miramichi areas north. But there are still a few outages in the greater Moncton area and Sackville.
And don’t forget, as of last night, the overnight winter parking ban is in effect in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. Owners of vehicles parked on the street between midnight and 7:00am could be ticketed and towed.
