Moncton family feud heads to supreme court

Jordan — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 01:32:50 +0000

A family feud in Moncton is heading to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The Schelew family — four brothers and their mother — are fighting over the sale of a six-storey apartment building they used to own in the city’s east end.

Most of the family accuses one of the brothers — Alan Schelew — of blocking the sale of the building at 99 Joyce Ave., for $2.5 million.

They say they had two offers of $2.5 million, but Schelew, who managed the building for a fee, prevented the prospective buyers from inspecting it and the deals fell through.

The family ended up selling the building to Schelew for $2.2 million, but they’ve asked the courts to make him pay the difference.

I have big shoes to fill this Hanukkah

I’m fully aware that to the more observant, my Judaism is watered down. I will be the first to admit that if you were to quiz me on history and theoretical discourse, I would get a big F. There are times when I question who I am and what I believe in, but what I do know is this – Judaism has been the one thing in my life that has remained consistent and real.

No matter where I am, what I am doing or who I think I should be, hearing the familiar Hebrew melodies gives me a sense of connectedness and brings me to a place that feels like home.

Rachael Schelew, Account Coordinator for Media Profile, tributes her ‘eye for detail’ to Centennial College’s Corporate Communications and Public Relations program.Graduating from Centennial in 2006, Schelew was prepared to thrive in the world of public relations due to the hands-on learning experience she attained. “

One of the major skills I acquired is my attention to details—even my co-workers recognize how precise I am. I feel like Centennial really helped me to develop a healthy paranoia to looking over my work,” says Schelew.
