SYDNEY, N.S. (CP) — The diocese of Antigonish will sell its share in a community newspaper to help cover its financial settlement with victims of sexual abuse by priests.

Diocese spokesperson Rev. Paul Abbass said the diocese's 60 per cent share in Casket Printing and Publishing of Antigonish will be put up for sale.

Abbass said the diocese is adding almost weekly to the property and assets that are up for sale.

The goal is to raise $18 million for the settlement of a class-action lawsuit with the alleged victims of sexual abuse from the 1950s to 2009.

St.F.X. recruiting on YouTube

ANTIGONISH — Students at St. Francis Xavier University are recording their campus experiences to post on YouTube as part of a campaign called Capture the X Factor.

It aims to attract new students by demonstrating the atmosphere of campus life at the beginning of a new school year, Justin Fox, director of recruitment and admissions, said in a news release.

The campaign is also a competition, with a $1,000 prize for the short video clip that best identifies the unique character of the campus.

Students' online votes count for 60 per cent of a score toward winning, with the remaining 40 per cent determined by a panel of staff, alumni and students.
