Third Storm This Week Hitting Charlotte County Tomorrow

Two storms -- Two snow days -- and another mess on the way.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Linda Libby tells Tide News the snow depth for Charlotte County this week alone is varied. She says so far St. Stephen is reporting an increase of 14 cms of snow, while Point Lepreau is reporting an increase this week of 27 cms of snow.

Libby says another system will hit tomorrow afternoon, starting with some wet snow that will transition into periods of rain -- with some ice pellets in between.

She says the temperatures will be warming up and could reach over 5'C overnight on Friday and we could receive upwards of 20mms of rain by Saturday morning.

NBers Warned To Watch Out For New Type Of Investment

New Brunswickers are being warned to watch out for a new kind of investment in the binary options market.

Binary options are similar to bets on whether an asset will increase or decrease in value in a fixed, and often very short, period.

They're sometimes referred to as "all or nothing" options." People who buy these options--which are often hawked through ads, email, social media or over the phone--are not protected by New Brunswick securities laws. Buying them may put any money invested at significant risk.

If you've been approached by a company offering these types of investments, you're encouraged to contact the commission immediately. For more details, click here

The 2014 Give Raising Money For Better Cancer Treatment

The 2014 Give to raise 900 thousand dollars for lab equipment that will be used to make cancer treatment better at the Regional Hospital is off to a good start with 250 thousand dollars pledged by Bruce Dowd and his family which has been matched by the John T. McMillan Junior Foundation.

Jeff MacDonald, a member of the Foundation's Board, says John McMillan Junior died from an aggressive form of leukemia in 2005 at the age of 34.

The head of Stem Cell Therapy at the Regional Hospital, Dr. Terrence Comeau tells CHSJ News cancer treatment is changing for the better and the new lab equipment will analyse the patient's D-N-A, which is unique, with the treatment individualised specifically for that person. Both diagnosis and treatment will be quicker.


Dr. Terrence Comeau says analysing D-N-A is how you hit cancer where it hurts and no two cancers are created equal.


The Regional Hospital Foundation also announcing the 2013 Give reached its goal of raising 850 thousand dollars to buy equipment that will be used during neurosurgeries.

You Could Be Breaking The Law Without Knowing It On Rothesay Ave.

If you use Rothesay Avenue and Bayside Drive regularly, you could be breaking the law without even knowing it.

The city is reminding drivers that access to that area has changed with no vehicle access to Bayside Drive from Russell Street.

Trying to cross the multiple lanes of traffic at the intersection is considered a hazardous operation of a vehicle and could result in fines for anyone caught doing it.

You can expect more signage to go up in the near future: right now the road markings don't match up with what the sign says, and they're looking to fix that as well.
