McAlary talks trash

Deputy Mayor Shirley McAlary thinks townhouse and condo developments should pay for private garbage pickup.

McAlary wants a by-law change to require owners of developments with more than four units to pay for private garbage collection. She believes individuals or companies that own multiple units and rent or lease them out should be treated as commercial businesses.

Young woman pleads guilty in stabbing of other woman

A woman will be back in court for sentencing in October after pleading guilty to stabbing another woman.

23 year old Mariah Perley admitted to storming into a home and stabbing her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfrience last July. She swung a hammer at the man as she stormed past him at the door and into a bedroom where she stabbed the woman.

Her lawyer has asked for a Gladue report, since Perley has an aboriginal background, before she is sentenced October 25th. In the meantime, she remains under house arrest at her home in Fredericton.
