On July 6, 2011, Richard Oland, scion of the Moosehead brewing family, was bludgeoned to death in his Saint John office. In a shocking turn, the multimillionaire’s only son, Dennis, was arrested for second-degree murder. Found guilty by a jury in 2015, Dennis Oland successfully appealed his conviction and was retried in 2018 and 2019. Following the defence’s arguments that any jury would be unfairly biased against Oland and a botched jury-selection process, a mistrial was declared. Then it was dramatically announced that the retrial would be conducted by a judge without a jury — a rare event in Canadian law for a murder trial. In this new updated edition, Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon takes readers inside the final stages of one of Canada’s most gripping murder trials, including the issues with the original police investigation, Oland’s appeal and his subsequent appearance at the Supreme Court, new evidence and witnesses brought forward in the second trial, and the sensational verdict. The definitive account of a series of trials for a horrific crime, Shadow of Doubt lays bare the tribulations of a prominent family and the inner workings of the justice system that led to Dennis Oland’s contentious conviction, retrial, and acquittal.

The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

  • Alden Nowlan - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Alden Nowlan - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Alden Nowlan(25 January 1933 - 27 June 1983) Alden Nowlan was born into rural poverty in Stanley, Nova Scotia, adjacent to Mosherville, and close to the small town of Windsor, Nova Scotia, along a stretch of dirt road that he would later refer to as Desolation Creek. His father, Gordon Freeman Nowlan, worked sporadically as a manual labourer. His mother, Grace Reese, was only 15 years of age when Nowlan was born, and she soon left the family, leaving Alden and her younger daughter Harriet, to the care of their paternal grandmother. The family discouraged education as a waste of time, and Nowlan left school after only four grades. At the age of 14, he went to work in the village sawmill. At the age of 16, Nowlan discovered the regional library. Each weekend he would walk or hitchhike eighteen miles to the library to get books, and secretly began to educate himself. "I wrote (as I read) in secret." Nowlan remembered. "My father would as soon have seen me wear lipstick." <b>Career and later Life</b> At 19, Nowlan's artfully embroidered résumé landed him a job with Observer, a newspaper in Hartland, New Brunswick. While working at the Observer, Nowlan began writing books of poetry, the first of which was published by Fredericton's Fiddlehead Poetry Books. Nowlan eventually settled permanently in New Brunswick. In 1963, he married Claudine Orser, a typesetter on his former paper, and moved to Saint John with her and her son, John, whom he adopted.

W. PURDY, DONALD STEPHENS, BARBARA THOMSON GODARD Annual Supplement CANADIAN LITERATURE CHECKLIST, I970 A QUARTERLY OF CRITICISM AND RGVIGW NEW TRENDS IN PUBLISHING (2) HAVING FOUNDED House of Anansi, and having in the process created a facility of a kind Canada has never had before for publishing experimen- tal fiction, Dave Godfrey moved on to establish, with two partners, the more politically-oriented publishing house called New Press — or, to use its own typo- graphical style — new press. When it was first announced, and the founders made their smiling debut in a Time report, new press took the stand for Canadian nationalism. At that time I put a testing question to see just what intellectual rigidities this might conceal. Dave Godfrey assured me that the definition of nationalism was in no sense restricted ; an anarchist regionalist, for example, would not be turned away. And it is this malleable, undogmatic quality that I find the most attractive quality of new press. Its partners are businesslike, but unpushing. Indeed, the only letter they failed to answer was that in which I talked of writing a piece on their work, and asked for information. Other publishers would have tumbled over their own ankles to answer, new press merely ignored the request, and one sensed behind the ignoring less a radical independence than a gentlemanly disinclination to carry too far the imperatives of trade.

  • Tradition Label Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Tradition Label Discography
    Tradition label Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Tradition Label Discography The Tradition Label was established in New York City in 1956 by Pat Clancy (of the Clancy Brothers) and Diane Hamilton. The label recorded folk and blues music. The label was independent and active from 1956 until about 1961. Kenny Goldstein was the producer for the label during the early years. During 1960 and 1961, Charlie Rothschild took over the business side of the company. Clancy sold the company to Bernard Solomon at Everest Records in 1966. Everest started issuing albums on the label in 1967 and continued until 1974 using recordings from the original Tradition label and Vee Jay/Horizon.
