I SENT THIS LETTER TO REX MURPHY BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THEY WILL READ IT!!

They will say- New Brunswick??? Where's that???...lol



It's about time these MP'S work for their money.

Going door to door in the cold winter months?

Not too many voters will open their doors because of
the lost of expensive heat.

These MP'S are going to be left out in the cold just
as they did to the poor citizens across this country.

Ocean pipeline a possibility: expert


By John Chilibeck
Telegraph-Journal

Laying a natural gas pipeline from east to west Saint John under the Bay of Fundy would be expensive but doable, says a leading expert.

Shawn Kenny is an engineering professor at Memorial University in Newfoundland. The PhD has more than 15 years experience in pipeline and ocean engineering and has worked on plenty of design projects for the pipeline industry.

When he heard that Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline was trying to decide where to put its new 30-inch diameter pipeline in Saint John, he agreed to offer some insight.

Admittedly, he does not know the Bay of Fundy or the waters outside Saint John Harbour that well. But he says ocean pipelines are being used in other places with strong currents.

"We have built pipelines in the Arctic and they are operating," he said Friday on the phone from St. John's, Newfoundland. "And those are harsh environments."

The company's number one option is to put the pipeline on land, and its preferred route goes right through Rockwood Park, much to the chagrin of the public and Saint John common council. Officials with Maritimes & Northeast say the shorter route under the Bay poses too many challenges, not least of which are the high tides. They deny extra cost is the main factor.

Mr. Kenny says strong currents mean putting in a pipeline would be difficult, but they are "not necessarily show-stoppers." A pipeline near shore would probably have to be buried, and there is a risk that strong tides could remove silt over the years, exposing the pipeline unless proper maintenance was kept up. Digging up the silt on the degraded seabed could also dredge up heavy metals if the area was contaminated, creating further difficulties. And he also cautioned that the pipe would have to withstand the weight of a ship's anchor dropping on top of it or dragging it. Underwater pipelines are made with thicker steel to withstand water pressure, but a pipeline in a heavy traffic area such as the Bay of Fundy might also have to be reinforced with concrete mats or protected by a pile of heavy rocks.

"It's an engineering problem. You can do it. You just have to be aware of the problems associated with that."

The main considerations are cost and safety. Mr. Kenny said offshore pipelines are always more expensive than the onshore variety, though he couldn't give a price difference because there are so many variables involved.

For instance, he questioned whether Maritimes & Northeast would be able to lease the equipment needed, such as large barges, to lay the pipeline. Right now, much of the equipment is tied up in the Gulf of Mexico, where oil and gas companies are trying to fix the damage caused by the worst hurricane season on record. It's a question of supply and demand, he says, with the cost going up based on the availability of the equipment.

"Deep off-shore barges cost a quarter of a million dollars a day," he said. "I'm not sure what the price would be for a near-shore operation, but it's not $100 a day, that's for sure."

Mr. Kenny said the time crunch is also a big factor. Maritimes & Northeast signed a contract with Irving Oil to have the pipeline ready by 2008, when the new liquefied natural gas terminal opens. If it doesn't clear regulations and build the pipe on time, it wouldn't meet its contractual obligations.

Contacted Friday, an official with Maritimes & Northeast declined to discuss details about its study of the ocean route option.

But Stephen Rankin says the availability of equipment was not considered in the company's analysis.

"We did the analysis and identified some challenges. That's all were prepared to say about it right now."

The National Energy Board in Calgary will have the final say where the pipeline should go. Mr. Rankin said the company would provide its information on the ocean option to the board as part of the application process.

GOVERNMENT FALLS!!!!

So what's going to happen now?????



YES-171
NO-133

KEVIN ALLMAN - THERE SHOULD BE A PLACE FOR PEOPLE LIKE US TO GO????

Yes, the cold weather is here and many will be very careful of the amount of heat they used but they still have roof over their head which brings me up to this story.



A couple of weeks ago, I walked to the Fredericton Soup Kitchen in a pouring rain.


I had a good umbrella but I saw an ugly site.

Inside the doors of the kitchen were 10 people escaping the wet weather.

Have you ever taught for one second what these people do during the day?



These people are the Social outcasts of Society. They have drug or alcohol problems. A few just cannot locate work or have mental problems.



I remember one cold day in December from last year.

While leaving the Soup Kitchen, I noticed a group of guys standing outside.



It was cold and windy.

One of them was this guy name - John.



He had found a place at 114 Brunswick Street and all his friends wish him well while he was leaving to go in his room.



Once there, he would escape the cold winds of winter.

The other guys would have love to join him but no visitors were allowed in the building.

Mind you? Since I have living there? I believe it was a good thing because in the past many would used a place to drink their alcohol and the atmosphere would get out of hand.

After he left, one of them name Kevin Allman asaid - There should be some place for people like us can go????

You see? There’s not too many places a homeless person can go during the cold winter months.

If you’re banned from a Mall? Well? Lets just say that you are out of luck?

In Saint John. There’s a place run by the Salvation Army. You can play pool and have a coffee during the day.

Here in the Capital? There’s no where to go!

Here’s a picture what the area of the Soup Kitchen looks like after the sun goes down!!!



The next time it’s windy and cold or a pouring rain? Asks yourself one question?

I wonder where these people are right now???

Kevin had red hair and freckles. He was a nice guy and didn’t bother anyone.

Kevin died of alcohol poisoning a few months ago.




I might add there is also five other people who died the same way in the Capital in a very short period.

You have a very good day!!!

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IN THE LATEST POLL!!!!

God's minute!

NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED
FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN.
( HEBREWS 11:1 *NKJV )

Dear Charles,
Our Heavenly Father gives everyone of us faith for it is
written; GOD HAS DEALT TO EACH ONE A MEASURE
OF FAITH. ( ROMANS 12:3 ) However we must add to
our given faith, and we can because; FAITH COMES BY
HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
(ROMANS 10:17)

The Apostle Paul wrote; I AM NOT ASHAMED OF
THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, FOR IT IS THE POWER OF
GOD TO SALVATION FOR EVERYONE WHO
BELIEVES. FOR IN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD
IS REVEALED FROM FAITH TO FAITH; AS IT IS
WRITTEN, 'THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.'"
( ROMANS 1:17 )

Therefore Charles, it is important that; WE WALK BY
FAITH NOT BY SIGHT, ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 ) trusting
with all of our heart, that our Heavenly Father will help us
when we face a problem in our lives! Remember it is
written that; WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO
PLEASE HIM, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST
BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER
OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.
( HEBREWS 11:6 )

So Charles; HAVE FAITH IN THE LORD YOUR GOD AND
YOU WILL BE UPHELD; HAVE FAITH IN HIS PROPHETS
AND YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL as well. Amen.
( 2 CHRONICLES 20:20 )

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen
