Fighting bullying in North Sydney

North Sydney’s fire chief is proposing a safe haven for kids who are being bullied.

Lloyd MacIntosh told the CBC kids who are being bullied to go to their local fire station to seek refuge in a crisis.  He added they could then call the appropriate authorities. It would be a short-term fix to an immediate problem.

MacIntosh was at the community meeting in North Sydney Monday night and says he didn’t realize how bad the bullying situation has become in the community and the fire fighters want to do their part.

North Sydney ruling

A North Sydney man has been found not guilty of indecent exposure.

A woman complained a man was mowing his lawn on Queen Street in July last year and unzipped his pants when she ran by while training for a race.

The judge however found the testimony of 54 year old John Brenton Hatfield was clear and concise that he was just tucking in his shirt.  A co-worker also testified he saw nothing inappropriate.
