School Janitor In Relationship With Teen, Not Back To Work Yet
A school janitor who was fired after having sex with a 15-year-old girl and then got it back after a court battle is not heading back to work yet. The Cape Breton regional school board doesn’t have to reinstate the man or give him back pay, pending the outcome of the board’s appeal. The man was fired on Nov. 23, 2007, for having a consensual sexual relationship with the teenager. The girl was of the age of consent at the time, was not a student at the school where the janitor worked.

Motorcycle Fatality Identified
The 25 year old victim of a motorcycle accident on Lingan Road has been identified as Steven Andrew Sorrey of Sydney.  An autopsy has been ordered and an investigation is underway.

Cape Breton Island Could MAke Podium In Yacht Race
Spirit of Australia has won the Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race after finishing fourth in Race 13. Simply finishing gave them the single point they needed to secure the title. Hull an dhumber came second, Cape Breton Island third, the final, nail-biting run going down to the wire as neither team was willing to give any quarter to their opponents. The big orange boat beat the eagle of Cape Breton to the line by less than two minutes. Both teams could still make the podium in Hull. The Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race will finish on Saturday 17 July when all ten yachts will race up the Humber for the homecoming and prize-giving ceremony in Hull Marina.
