  • 5 Ridings That Will Decide Election
    20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal 5 RIDINGS THAT WILL DECIDE ELECTION ADAM HURAS LEGISLATURE BUREAU They are the ridings that the experts believe will decide the provincial election. “Depending on what happens in about five ridings, it will be a Progressive Conservative or Liberal government,” Roger Ouellette, political science professor l’Université de Moncton said in an interview. J.P. Lewis, associate professor of politics at the University of New Brunswick added: “It feels like the most likely scenario is a close seat count.” Brunswick News asked five political watchers for the five ridings to watch over the next month leading up to the Sept. 24 vote. By no means was there a consensus. There were 14 different ridings that at least one expert included in their top five list of battlegrounds that could go one way or another. “Right now, based on the regional trends, it’s really hard to call,” MQO Research polling firm vice president Stephen Moore said. Six ridings received multiple votes. The list is heavy with Moncton and Fredericton ridings. 20 août 2018 – Telegraph Journal Meanwhile, a Saint John riding and another in the province’s northeast were cited the most as runoffs that could make or break the election for the Liberals or the Progressive Conservatives. Gabriel Arsenault, political science professor at l’Université de Moncton 1. Saint John Harbour: “It was tight last time and (incumbent MLA Ed) Doherty screwed up, so I’m putting my bets on the Tories,” Arsenault said. The Progressive Conservatives called on Doherty, the former minister in charge of Service New Brunswick, to resign amid last year’s property tax assessment fiasco.

Box 169 Grimsby, ON L3M 4G3 Re: 133 & 137 Main Street East Dear Sir: We have been retained as heritage structural consultants for the proposed relocation of the Nelles House at 133 Main Street East in Grimsby. While we have not yet had time to develop the complete design and details for the proposed relocation, we have looked at the house and we are confident that it can be successfully moved and restored. We have reviewed your comments in your letter of July 22, 2019 to the IBI Group, specifically items 2 & 4 in the comments on the HIA. Item 2 requests clarification regarding the preservation of the stone foundation when the dwelling is moved. We believe that preservation of the visible portion of the stone foundation between grade and the brick would meet the intent of the designating bylaw and the approach which we have used on previous similar projects is to salvage the stone from the foundation, place the building on a new concrete foundation constructed with a shelf in the concrete, and re-lay the salvaged stone so no concrete is visible in the finished project. In cases where the stone wall is of particular importance, we have documented the positions of the stones and replaced them exactly as originally located on the building, although in most cases the use of the salvaged material laid in a pattern matching the original is sufficient to meet the intent.

The steps taken by Governor Carleton in calling this assembly are detailed in his letter of October 25, 1785, to Lord Stanley in the Colonial Office at London: "My Lord, I have the honor to inform your Lordship that having completed such arrangements as appeared to be previously requested, I directed writs to issue on the 15th instant for convening a General Assembly to meet on the first Tuesday in January next. In this first election it has been thought advisable to admit all males of full age who have been inhabitants of the province for no less than three months to the privilege of voting, as otherwise many industrious and meritorious settlers, who are improving the lands allotted to them but have not yet received the King's Grant, must have been excluded. … The House of Representatives will consist of 26 members, who are chosen by their respective counties, no Boroughs or cities being allowed a distinct Representation. The county of St. John is to send six members, Westmorland, Charlotte, and York four members each, Kings, Queens, Sunbury and Northumberland, each two members.

  • Emotional Connection to Mactaquac Dam, River Valley Studied
    Emotional connection to Mactaquac dam, river valley studied TARA CHISLETT Fredericton Daily Gleaner January 8, 2015 The Mactaquac Hydro Electric Dam near Fredericton. Photo: The Daily Gleaner archive How much do people in New Brunswick know about the Mactaquac dam and what it means for the future of energy in the province? That’s the question a team of social scientists from Dalhousie University, the University of New Brunswick and the University of Alberta are trying to answer as part of a larger research project on energy literacy, attitudes and values toward different energy options, and the effects of energy choices. The Mactaquac dam is expected to reach the end of its service life in 2030. NB Power has identified three options for the station: 1. refurbish; 2. rebuild; 3. decommission. Decommission would involve restoring the St. John River valley by draining the headpond above the dam. NB Power says it will be seeking input from experts, First Nations communities and New Brunswickers before selecting a preferred option in 2016. Kate Sherren, an assistant professor and academic program co­ordinator at Dalhousie University’s School for Resource and Environmental Studies, said the team received federal funding through a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in 2012, but work didn’t begin until summer 2013. The team is made up of made up of three principal investigators as well as several students. Along with the study of the Mactaquac dam, the project is also looking at sites in the Peace River, Alta., region and southern Ontario. The project isn’t designed to contribute directly to the decision about the dam, Sherren said.

    Up on th’hill Down by the river By the ocean Across the field By the word of the Boognish Lordy lordy lord, I’m coming home -Gene & Dean Ween The Bristol-Shiktehawk bifaces and Early Woodland ceremonialism in the Middle St. John Valley, New Brunswick by Alexandre Pelletier-Michaud B.A., Université Laval, 2007 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of Anthropology Supervisor: Susan E. Blair, Ph.D., Anthropology Examining Board: M. Gabriel Hrynick, Ph.D., Anthropology Gary K. Waite, Ph.D., History This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK November, 2017 ©Alexandre Pelletier-Michaud, 2018 ABSTRACT In the Maritime Peninsula, the visibility of Early Woodland ceremonialism is limited to a few sites that have been associated with burial complexes defined elsewhere in the Northeast. The biface assemblage excavated in the 1930s from the Bristol- Shiktehawk site, in the middle St. John River Valley, has been assumed to be ceremonial but has never been the subject of a thorough professional analysis. I conduct such an analysis based on a technological approach. My results support the view that the assemblage likely dates to the Early Woodland period, by establishing connections which are rooted temporally in the region but extend geographically towards the Midwest. I question the compartmentalizing nomenclature which structures our understanding of regional variations in manifestations of ceremonialism, suggesting a more complex but fluid cultural landscape for the period around 3500 to 2000 B.P., and explore the limitations posed by the theoretical framework often applied to questions of ritual in archaeology.
