Locals Stuck In Boston Lock-Down

She says all the buses and shuttles and every form of transportation are shut down.
Wheaton says he's been nothing but impressed with the strength of the city in this senseless situation.
Local Woman Creates Her Own Job Due To Lack Of Employment In St. George
One local resident from St. George deciding to take her unemployment matters into her own hands by opening a new clothing store in town.
Mandy Lee says she was born and raised in Charlotte County, and just wants the same thing for her young son. "I was on unemployment because there were no jobs around, so the only thing left for me to do was to create a job for myself and take a chance at it."
Lee tells Tide News she feels the government has let the economy down by cutting back any available employment, which in return, is forcing locals to move away to other provinces for work. "It's horrible. I didn't want to pack up my young family to move away. It's not right. This is my hometown and I'd rather be here." Lee says as it is now, her husband will be leaving in the near future to work outside the province because there was nothing available for him here.
Lee decided to take a chance and open a clothing store called "Mandy's Apparel & More". She says, "I will be selling clothing, beauty products, aluminum decorative signs, scarves, purses, belts, a little bit of everything, with more to come."
The Grand Opening will be at her location in the St. George Mall tomorrow (Saturday) from 9am to 7pm, with local dignitaries in attendance.

CUPE Says Jobs Cuts At Horizon Are Just The Beginning
131 job cuts have been announced but Ralph McBride, provincial co-ordinator for CUPE local 1252, tells Tide News that's just the beginning of the reductions because Horizon still has to reduce its budget by almost 14 million dollars and it's that amount which has healthcare workers so anxious.
McBride warns if front-line workers are cut then patient care will be adversely affected.
Provincial Health Minister Ted Flemming argues health care should not be used to create jobs and McBridge counters that by saying it isn't because each of his members has a specific role to play to keep the system functioning.
