Where on Kanner are commercial developments comparable to Costco?
I drove up Willoughby Boulevard in Stuart today. I was careful to observe the roadsides. (I had read that this was already an industrial zone and that Costco would have no important impact on the road from Costco to Willoughby.). I suggest you all do the same.
As far as Kanner Highway is concerned, where are all the large commercial developments that are comparable to this project?
Of course this is a case of NIMBY. Why not? As Stuart expands, and it’s a fact that it will, why use an already established low-density small business area to do so? Kanner Highway, while expanded, has never been an industrial zone. Tell me how Costco will not change that.
Fundraising drive for busy local RNLI livesavers Posted: 5:21 pm April 30, 2021

WITH the weather improving and lockdown easing, Fermanagh’s life-saving RNLI volunteers are preparing for a busy season ahead as people get back out on the water.
The two local crews have already assisted several boaters in recent times, and over the past weekend alone the volunteers helped bring seven people to safety. Meanwhile, new figures have shown there was no rest for the local volunteers over the lockdowns, with local crews launching scores of times last year.
On Sunday evening both the lifeboat and the Douglas Euan and Kay Richards rescue boat from Carrybridge station was tasked by the Belfast Coastguard to help a vessel with a crew of five which had run aground around one mile north east of Naan Island.
Two Callouts for Carrybridge RNLI Lifeboat on Lough Erne
27th April 2021
Carrybridge RNLI assisted seven people on two separate call outs at the weekend
At 3.45 pm on Sunday 25 April, Carrybridge RNLI’s inshore lifeboat, Douglas Euan & Kay Richards and Rescue Water Craft (RWC) was launched to a vessel with two people on board, which had encountered engine difficulties approx. 2 miles north of Knockninny on Lough Erne.
Winds were North Westerly, Force 1. Visibility was excellent.
The lifeboat and RWC arrived with the casualty vessel which had drifted close to the shoreline. The volunteer crew checked the wellbeing of the people on the casualty boat and found they were safe and well. With the owner’s permission, a tow was established with the casualty vessel and the boat was then towed back to a private marina.
