Two Cape Bretoners have been honoured for heroism.
The late Michelle Curtis of Lingan was awarded the medal of bravery by Governor General David Johnston yesterday. Curtis died while saving a group of children caught in a riptide off Dunvegan. Her husband Karl accepted her posthumous award.
Liam Bernard was awarded the Star of Courage for his part in saving two people from a burning camper van after a crash near Melford last September that killed the driver of the other vehicle.
Demolition of a hoarder’s house in North Sydney is on hold, according to the CBC.
CBRM ordered the house on Campbell Street torn down as a health, safety and fire hazard in January. It’s packed with stuff including rotting garbage, animal waste and mould.
The owner, Sylvia Dolomont; was granted several extensions so she could clean up the property. While a cleanup was started it was not finished. Now Dolomont has gone to court and won a temporary injunction to halt the demolition.
