Eloi and his brother Melas lived in Gaylon’s (now part of Memramcook village). I think that both were born in PEI. They lived in a house in Gaytons. Both were bachelors then.

OK what is not spelled out clearly in this article is that more funding is needed to provide earlier and better intervention for students with special needs. These are complicated issues. At present students who have serious problems are not served well. Moreover all the other students and the staff are also not served well. Students who are disruptive and aggressive pose risks to others in the class room. In my opinion parents should always be informed if their child is at risk in their class room. I suspect that is not done.

It nice that there are more apartment complexes being built. However, we seniors who have pensions based on Saint John wages are having to compete with outsiders of higher means for affordable apartments. A base of $1900-$2000/month is beyond our budgets and not many buildings from which to choose.

The tax breaks are great but I’m not sure it is trickling down to the people. Apartment costs are still hundreds of dollars more in Saint John and area than similar apartments in Moncton or Fredericton.

There is a brand new sewer line right to the city boundary in Renforth that has never been used due to a missing bridge link at the quarry. The waterline is there also. Why are we going to pump sewerage all the way to Sagamore and into the river when it could be pumped to the Hazen Creek plant in Red Head and into the bay after treatment. I checked with the city several years back and was told it could be done. It just needed a properly designed lift station out of the Kennebecasis Park lagoons.
