Title PE1126.N43C73 1999 428.6'2 C99-950071-6 Dear Reader: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Seniors Resource Centre, I am very pleased to present Not Too Long Ago, a collection of stories from seniors. To everyone who contributed stories, I wish to offer my heartfelt thanks. You have created a marvellous reading resource for seniors who are motivated to improve their literacy skills. It is most appropriate that this collection is being released in this International Year Of The Older Person. As members of our community of seniors, you have unselfishly offered these stories to other seniors who had learning challenges in their younger days. By creating a book of stories of such a high interest to seniors, it will make the process of learning and improving reading skills more enjoyable. Not only seniors and those learning to read will enjoy these stories. I am quite sure that everyone interested in Newfoundland and Labrador culture will be enriched by your experiences. I would also like to thank the Seniors Resource Centre's Literacy Project Committee for overseeing this project. Thanks also to the students in the Rabbittown Learners Programme, and those seniors who read the raw material and who made invaluable suggestions. Charles S. Rennie, Chair Board of Directors Senior Resource Centre Acknowledgements I wish to thank the sixty-three seniors who contributed to Not Too Long Ago. It is said that experience is a great teacher. If so, your experiences are about to give readers a great education in Newfoundland and Labrador history and culture. All of you have greeted me in your homes, and offered an open invitation to return. I would like to thank you for their hospitality. On behalf of generations to come, I congratulate you on your contributions to this book. Producing Not Too Long Ago took the cooperation of many people across the province. This would not have been possible without those who know our communities and who know our seniors. I wish to thank Joan MacLean of Northwest River and Janet Skinner and Donna Paddon of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. In Cartwright, Jessie Bird also recommended many wonderful people to be interviewed. Across Newfoundland, contributors were recommended by our network of seniors, peer advocates, community leaders and personal contacts: Barbara Barrett of Arnold's Cove, Linda Bath of Bonavista, Dorothy Bonnell of Bell Island, Peggy Doucette of Port au Port, Theresa Greeley of Gander, Evelyn Grondin-Bailey of Burin, Harriett Greene of Port aux Basques, Stella Hollett of Burin, Catherine Pennell of Trepassey, Philip Power of Grand Falls, Gladys Snow of Rocky Harbour, and Jim Young of Twillingate. Thank you all. I would like to thank Coordinator Doris Hapgood, the teachers, and the students of the Rabbittown Learners Programme who workshopped the material. Thanks to Pam Rideout and Janet Goosney of Teachers On Wheels and the other members of the Seniors Resource Centre Literacy Committee. Thanks to our readers: Hazel Blackwood, Evelyn Percy, Rick Simon, Brigitta Schmid, and Mary Woodruff. Don McDonald and David White of the Literacy Development Council also offered valuable feedback and comments. Thanks to volunteer Jerry Cranford for the design and layout of the book. Financial Support for this project has been provided by the National Literacy Secretariat (Human Resources Development Canada) and the Literacy Development Council of Newfoundland and Labrador. Garry Cranford Writer/Researcher The Stories And Their Organization The stories in Not Too Long Ago were collected from seniors across the province, primarily through taped interviews, supplemented by written submissions. The reading style is as varied as the storyteller, and edited as little as possible, in an effort to retain the original flavour of the conversation. In all, there are sixty-six stories and poems. The goal of this project was to bring together, under one cover, a collection of stories that represented a culture to which mature Newfoundland and Labrador readers could easily relate. By doing so, it is hoped that the content will have as high an interest level as possible to those readers this book is aimed at: the adult reader. All major regions are represented. The stories are arranged into five sections based on the place of residence of the seniors telling them. For ease of organization, the material is grouped under the following geographic regions: · Avalon · Eastern · Central · Western · Labrador Generally speaking, the setting of each story takes place in the communities or regions of the province where the storyteller now lives. For instance, the trapline stories of Labrador are told by individuals who live in Labrador. However, there are exceptions. For instance, Frank Mercer's story is set in Labrador, but he resides in Bay Roberts, so his story is grouped with those of the Avalon. Likewise, the baby in the mailbag resides in St. John's, but her dramatic story took place on the west coast of the island. I would suggest that the reader study the Table of Contents. Either the titles or the sections under which the stories are listed will suggest the geographic setting.

His father came from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland to manage one of the two companies mining on Bell Island. When Charlie Bown grew up, he went to work as a Bell Island miner. ON THE MORNING of January 17, 1938, I made my first trip down into No. 6 Mine. The previous week had been spent going to the Main Office to get hired on. I was given a small brass disk with a number stamped into it. With this disk, I became only a number, no longer a name. The number would allow me to go to the company store to pick up a miner's helmet, a wide leather belt for my waist to hold my lamp, coveralls and safety boots. I was told the hours of work: Ten hours per day, 60 hours per week at the rate of 32 cents per hour, or $19.20 a week. I was also given a book on safety regulations. About 6 a.m. on Monday morning I went to the dry-house, or change building, by No. 6 Mine. In this building I was given a line on which I could hang up my clothes.

  • Effect of Chilled Temperature and Salt Concentration on Shelf Life of Herring (Clupea Harengus)
    PO Box 1390, Skulagata 4 120 Reykjavik, Iceland FINAL REPORT 2008 EFFECT OF CHILLED TEMPERATURE AND SALT CONCENTRATION ON SHELF LIFE OF HERRING (CLUPEA HARENGUS) Won Sik An Fisheries Information Division, Ministry of Fisheries Democratic People´s Republic of Korea Botongmun-Dong, Central District, Pyongyang E-mail: [email protected] Supervisors: Kristin A. Thorarinsdottir ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Asbjorn Jonsson ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Irek Klonowski ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research ABSTRACT Keeping the quality of fish and fish products at its best is the most important issue in fish processing. Based on the trend demanding that salted fish reduce salt content for dietary reasons as well as for further processing, this project focused on the extension of shelf life by investigating quality changes during brining in the cold storage of herring (Clupea harengus), the one of the popular foods in DPR Korea. Instead of the traditional salting method, an innovative method has been suggested called cold brining. Cold brining is a processing method expected either to provide a good salty flavour or to extend shelf life for further products by delaying microbiological growth and the chemical changes of the co- operation of ice and salt. In both experiments using fresh whole herring and fillets, five different brine concentrations of 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18%, and five different temperatures of 2, -1, -2, -4, -8 and -24 °C were used for 25 and 18 days, respectively, to select the optimum conditions for cold brining. The results were revealed that the 14% brine at -8 °C can be regarded as optimum condition for pre-cooling of herring.

  • Entanglements Between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen's
    Rogues Among Rebels: Entanglements between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen’s Protective Union of Newfoundland by Liam Michael O’Flaherty M.A. (Political Science), University of British Columbia, 2008 B.A. (Honours), Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2006 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Liam Michael O’Flaherty, 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2017 Approval Name: Liam Michael O’Flaherty Degree: Master of Arts Title: Rogues Among Rebels: Entanglements between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen’s Protective Union of Newfoundland Examining Committee: Chair: Elise Chenier Professor Willeen Keough Senior Supervisor Professor Mark Leier Supervisor Professor Lynne Marks External Examiner Associate Professor Department of History University of Victoria Date Defended/Approved: August 24, 2017 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between Newfoundland’s Irish Catholics and the largely English-Protestant backed Fishermen’s Protective Union (FPU) in the early twentieth century. The rise of the FPU ushered in a new era of class politics. But fishermen were divided in their support for the union; Irish-Catholic fishermen have long been seen as at the periphery—or entirely outside—of the FPU’s fold. Appeals to ethno- religious unity among Irish Catholics contributed to their ambivalence about or opposition to the union. Yet, many Irish Catholics chose to support the FPU. In fact, the historical record shows Irish Catholics demonstrating a range of attitudes towards the union: some joined and remained, some joined and then left, and others rejected the union altogether.
