Funeral Service Later This Week For Man Who Went Missing

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 this Friday morning in Reid's Funeral Home in Hampton for 21 year old Adam Andrews, whose body was found in a marshy area off Route 100 near the Stock Farm Road. 

He was reported missing after not showing up for work and a two day search ensued. 

An autopsy was performed to determine the cause of death but the results won't be known for a few weeks. 

Foul play reportedly is not suspected but Rothesay Regional Police tell Tide News there's nothing official yet on that.

New Evaluation Tool For Adoption And Foster Applicants

A new model to evaluate people who want to foster or adopt a child being rolled out across the province.

Structured Analysis Family Evaluation, or SAFE, is a tool that makes it easier for social workers to do home studies more efficiently and in a more consistent way.

Social Development Minister Madeleine Dubé says the home study process is critical in making sure children in care are placed with people who will act in the child's best interest and with their safety and well-being in mind.

The new tool is expected to be fully implemented by next year.

Dual Deaths Ruled Murder-Suicide

The RCMP's Major Crimes Unit has completed its investigation into the deaths of two people in Kedgwick.

The bodies of 64-year-old Raoul Leclair and 65-year-old Nicole Leclair, both of Kedgwick, were discovered outside their home on September 1.

Police have determined that both died of gunshot wounds and they died as a result of a murder-suicide. As such, no charges will be laid.

Barlow Points Out Water Woes

It's hard to believe in a water-rich country like Canada but we are a planet running out of clean water.

That from Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians.


Barlow tells Tide News you can find water but it may not be in good shape.

She says it's been polluted, mismanaged or displaced.


A study by the Royal Bank says the demand for water will outstrip supply by 40 per cent by the year 2030 which Barlow says means people will die along with entire ecosystems.

She says we need to turn our heads around and stop taking water for granted.
