Ottawa is spending some money on the St. Stephen water-front. Officials have announced $10,500 dollars to refurbish the wharf and lighthouse which have taken a beating over the past few years. The work includes replacing the deck and underlying structure of the wharf and replacing windows, shingles and putting a fresh coat of paint on the lighthouse.
The Town of St. Stephen is putting in $11,500 dollars towards the project with the local business improvement area rounding out the cost of the project with $4,600 dollars. No word on when the work will get started or finish up.

Man Shoots off Tip of Finger
One man is recovering at home after a freak accident in Charlotte County yesterday. A 59-year old man from the Shamcook Area was out hunting squirrel when his hand slid down the barrel of his rifle, the trigger fired and the tip of his finger was blown off. He showed up at the Charlotte County Hospital looking for help and thats when the RCMP were called.
Sargeant Greg MacAvoy tells Tide News, they are still looking into the matter but at this point, it just looks like one of those fluke accidents. No alcohol was involved and the man is expected to recover.
