A woman who survived a bout of breast cancer is now teaching a class on the exercise that helped her on her road to recovery.
In 2002,
Mary Eliza Humphries was diagnosed with breast cancer and a nurse
suggested she take an exercise program. She was eventually led to yoga.
She tells Tide News it made her feel like a whole person for the first
time since she started her treatment and she wanted to share that
feeling with others.
She's
now the instructor for the Survivorship Yoga program for survivors of
cancer and those undergoing treatment, and says she hopes to expand the
program to Saint John in January.
To
register for the program, call 847-2210, e-mail
survivorshipyoga@gmail.com, or simply drop by a Sunday class at 6pm at
the qplex in Quispamsis. The first class is this evening.
After
Salesforce cut 200 jobs at the end of August, some in Saint John were
left wondering whether the government should continue subsidizing
businesses that just wind up laying people off.
Mariner
Chairman Gerry Pond has a different perspective on the Radian6 layoffs,
he tells Tide News the company grew rapidly, perhaps a little too
rapidly, but it's not entirely a bad news story.
He was
involved in Radian6 back in the very beginning and says when Radian6 was
purchased, they went from zero employees to something in the range of
450. While some were laid off, he says there's still over 400 people
employed.
Pond
says the government shouldn't be getting a bad rep for subsidizing such
businesses when overall they're still creating jobs. But it's worth
noting Pond's company, Mariner, is getting a payroll rebate of
750-thousand bucks for an upcoming expansion.

John
McCann of Port Saint John tells Tide News some people on the cruise ship
have a gastrointestinal virus and he's unsure of how many people are
affected, or of the cause.
McCann
says passengers showing symptoms were examined by medical staff on the
cruise ship. Usually, those who needed to be isolated are asked to stay
in their cabins and are monitored by cruise ship personnel.
McCann
says his understanding is that it's a very low risk to public
health.There have been no medical evacuations and the other passengers
have been cleared to leave the ship. He says otherwise, it's business as
usual.
