Flooding in New Brunswick
2008-05-05 23:05:00 Springtime in New Brunswick, especially along the St. John River, often includes some flooding as the snow and ice on the river melt. This year rivals records from the 1970's though, with many in the capital region of Fredericton looking for assistance in the past week. Downtown streets were submerged, and many of the farmlands lining the river have been quite damaged.In Saint John (an hour south of Fredericton), we haven't seen too much out of the ordinary. That was, of course, until the river up north started to follow its natural course and drain into the Bay of Fundy. Now, homes along the river are finding themselves in similar predicaments. Although the flood waters have not reached 8.2 m above sea level as in Fredericton, the river here meets the rising tides of the Bay of Fundy.We went out Sunday to take photos of the Royal Kennebecasis Yacht Club, which sits at a dead end at the bottom of Millidge Avenue (our street). First, check out this picture over at a local's Flickr...

SHEDIAC, NEW BRUNSWICK
2008-04-15 00:01:00 Scorrazzare per le Marittime, come vengono chiamate le province dell’est canadese, significa anche New Brunswick, provincia metà anglofona e metà francofona. Lungo la costa che porta all’isola di Prince Edward Island e poi in Nova Scotia si trova una località certamente insolita : Shediac. Il nome deriva dal termine Mik’maq "Es-ed-ei-ik" che denominava uno dei maggiori insediamenti nel sudest del New Brunswick trasformatosi poi in "Es-ed-ei-ik" e quindi in Gèdaique. Oggi i francofoni lo pronunciano Shèdiac e gli anglofoni Shediac, ma le aragoste non sembrano essere al corrente della disputa. Un villaggio, abitato soprattutto da pescatori locali, ma anche da tante persone che hanno abbandonato la vita della città, che si fregia dell’appellativo di “Capitale mondiale dell’aragosta”. Per giustificare tale rivendicazione i locali hanno pensato bene di dedicarle un monumento, che troneggia pomposamente all’entrata del villaggio. Una delle tante attrazioni canade...

CBC Autism Overview and New Brunswick
2008-02-13 09:56:00 (CBC Image)CBC has provided a good general overview of Autism Disorders in Canada in Autism Making sense of a confusing world. The overview includes a description of autism disorders, some autism history (Kanner and Asperger) and treatment. There is a good review of the funding and age restrictions for ABA services for autism in each province in Canada.There is one important omission and that is with respect to New Brunswick. Here we have a 5 year age cut-off as stated. But New Brunswick has begun to provide ABA intervention in our schools. This has been done by training Teacher Aides and Resource Teachers at the University of New Brunswick - College of Extended Learning Autism Intervention Training Program in Fredericton. A couple of classes of the UNB-CEL AIT have graduated, another is about to, and the government of Premier Shawn Graham and Education Minister Kelly Lamrock have committed to provide another 3 years of training for TA's and Resource Teachers th...

2007-11-14 01:29:00 Heather R said... Ihave a son who is 14 and severely autistic as well. I have had workers in my homw with him foe 2 years now. They told me it was sapposed to be only until we could get him some help. He needs an assesment and a medication overhaul where he went completly out of hand and uncontrollable during puberty. No hospital in n.b can take him. moncton refused him. I.W.K has been saying for the last year and a half the have no phycologist.

Hockey shoulderpads so he wont bite his arm to shreads. He was bad when the workers first came with severe wounds up an down his arms but the hospital said it was no pla...

PONTI COPERTI : HARTLAND, NEW BRUNSWICK
2007-05-28 08:04:00 Hartland, dove? Ammetto di esserci passato per caso mentre attraversavo il confine del Maine sulla interstate 95 in un posto che si chiama Woodstock, ma che non ha niente a che vedere con il festival che si tenne nel 1969. Cartello stradale che indirizza al ponte coperto pi lungo del mondo. Ecco che nasce la scusa per una deviazione prima di proseguire per Fredericton, la capitale. Ho sempre amato i viaggi a tema. Un argomento solo che ti riempie di possibili emozioni e poi il resto, se c'. E l'idea dei ponti coperti che piace, con tutte le storie legate alla loro presenza. Quello di Hartland, poi, con i suoi 400 metri di lunghezza forse il pi lungo al mondo unendo le due sponde del fiume St. John. L'aspetto tecnico di questi ponti interessa generalmente soltanto agli ingegneri. Anche questo ponte, vedi lucchetti sul ponte Milvio a Roma, ha il suo lato romantico. E' diventata una tradizione esprimere un desiderio mentre lo si percorre in tutta la sua lunghezza chiudendo ...
Autism Plea - Keep Our Autistic Children Home in New Brunswick
2007-05-23 12:34:00 Daily Gleaner (Fredericton NB)Published Wednesday May 23rd, 2007Appeared on page C7Keep autistic children in the provinceThis is a letter to Premier Shawn Graham.I am a father of a 13-year-old autistic boy. We had to fight for services for our son from the day he was born: to get diagnosed, to get Applied Behavioural Analysis therapy (before it was mandatory), to get teacher's aides in the classroom, to keep him in school, and to get hospital treatment when his compulsion to bite and pinch got to the point where he was covered in wounds and bruises.I am afraid my wife and I do not have much fight left in us these days. Our son has lived under constant supervision 24 hours a day for the last year. Two workers stay in our home with him during the day (two are needed to restrain him during his rages). While we commend them for all they have done, the workers are merely a Band-Aid solution.Our only option at this point is to send our son out of country to the U.S. for treatment that he...
