Northside 4 Chase the Ace

The draw in the Northside 4 Chase the Ace was delayed until 7:00 yesterday evening.

Linda Thompson had the loucky number but couldn’t find the Ace, taking home almost $97,000 as a consolation prize.

The next draw will be held Sunday the usual time of 4:00 in the afternoon, weather permitting.  There are 9 cards left with a jackpot estimate at almost $1.5 million.

Four causes share in the proceeds, the Sydney Mines Haley Street Adult Services Society, Emera Centre Northside; the Northern Yacht Club junior sailing program, and junior golf at the Seaview Golf Club.

Sydney Mines rescue

A small tanker ran aground near Sydney Mines yesterday.

The “Arca 1” lost engine power and hit the shore at Little Pond.

It was empty and on the way to Mexico.

There were only six crewmembers aboard, and they were airlifted to safety by helicopter; as a crowd gathered on the shore to watch the dramatic rescue.

Nobody was hurt.
