The town of Bridgewater is helping Jenna Martin get to the 2012 London Olympics. Council approved a motion Monday night to give Martin $2,000 unbudgeted towards her funding goal. Mayor Carroll Publicover says Martin is a good role model for young athletes, good student and well-deserving of their donation. Councillor Jim Bell opposed the motion, saying taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for $2,000 unbudgeted. Council's contribution represents 1.5% of the money Martin needs to raise to help her qualify for Canada's Olympic team.
