After months of holding back, not daring to let hope enter their lives, Lunenburg’s Rob and Sarah Edwards are finally and fully excited. They’re looking forward to March 19 as a transformative date of a magnitude that most of us can only imagine. That’s the day Rob expects to be on a Halifax hospital operating table, receiving a new kidney, and essentially a new life. He’s spent four years on the donor waiting list, and he’s only getting one now because a live donor has come forward. The Lunenburg couple’s compelling story is a shout-out to the increasing toll kidney disease is placing on individuals and their families, to the power of good intentions, and to the call for optimizing Nova Scotia’s organ donations.

Retired school administrator, teacher acquitted of indecent assault
By KEITH CORCORAN indecent assault on a boy in the Annapolis Valley being a strong witness who offered greatly detailed [email protected] in the 1970s. testimony. M@NewsmanKeith In a 21-page written decision, Judge Tim Landry The two-day trial took place in late 2017. Landry said, in part, that he accepted the trial evidence of rendered his decision March 9. A provincial court judge in Bridgewater acquitted Brian David Fogelson, and that it raised reasonable “I did not categorize the detail provided to the court a former New Jersey-based school administrator of doubt. Fogelson, 64, was described in the decision as as someone simply making things up or remembering specifics from a script but rather I concluded that the detailed evidence being provided by Mr. Fogelson was that of an individual who has sat down and had given careful thoughts to what took place many years ago.” During trial, Fogelson denied taking the boy to another man’s house, giving him alcohol, sleeping in Honda Civic the same bed with him and the allegations before the court. Landry commented that the complainant in the Canada’s dream drive x 20 case was also a strong witness. “However, this is not a contest of witnesses. It is not a situation where the court is simply indicating that it believes one witness over the evidence of an- other.” It was alleged Fogelson committed the offences between January 1975 and December 1977 in the vil- lage of Kingston. An allegation of gross indecency in relation to the case was dismissed during earlier pro- ceedings after the Crown told court it wasn’t seeking a conviction on that charge. The acquittal concludes legal troubles hanging over the retired music teacher since 2015. The police investigation that focused on Fogelson also had links to another man, who’s already served prison time for indecently assaulting a teenage boy in the 1970s during a time when that offender worked as a music teacher in the Annapolis Valley.
