Time surely flies when we are having fun getting prepared for the show. I would like to thank all the members who participated in the show whether it was helping to plan the car show, showing your car, volunteering with ticket sales or whatever.

According to the list of activities and events in the calendar it seems we will have a very busy season. We suggest you refer to the calendar for events that will interest you. Of special note is a show and shine on July 1 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 1 for our veterans. A large attendance will show our thanks to all the veterans from past and present for the sacrifice they made for us. There will be information in the newsletter pertaining to this. Our car club plans to visit the A&W on Cunard Crescent, in Donavans on a regular basis every second Thursday night. Owner, Scott Bartlett, promises to make our visits interesting and will give the club a percentage for A&W catalogue merchandise purchased. Please remember cruising and socializing is what our club is all about so get out and meet up with the members and enjoy our short cruising season.

  • The Places of Bay Roberts
    1 2 COVES, STREETS, FIELDS AND MORE: The Places of Bay Roberts Researched & Written by: Folklore Graduate Field School Class of 2017 Edited by: Katherine Harvey Oral History Roadshow Series #005 Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador Intangible Cultural Heritage Office St. John’s, NL, Canada Layout / design by Jessie Meyer 2018 3 INTRODUCTION The recollections in this booklet were recorded by students in Memorial University’s Folklore Department. For three weeks in September 2017, Memorial’s newest folklore graduate students arriving from Northern Ontario, all parts of the United States, Iran, and Israel, were transplanted to Bay Roberts to participate in a cultural documentation field school: a required course that takes place at the start of the first semester of the graduate program. The field school participants were warmly welcomed by local residents, and this booklet is both a “give back” to the community, as well as a product of what the students learned. The academic goals of the field school are for students to learn first-hand about cultural documentation: techniques of audio-recorded interviewing, ethnographic observation, writing fieldnotes, documentary photography, video-recording, organizing and archiving field data, analysing field data, and public presentation skills. In addition to skills and techniques, students learn to work in teams, to meet new people, and to recognize local traditions and culture— this is at the heart of folklore fieldwork. The warmth with which we were welcomed to Bay Roberts—from the very first day was a highlight. It was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, but students enjoyed the “Toutons and Tunes” walking tour, which ended in the Red Shed (a special place indeed!) with tea, toutons, scrunchions, crab legs, and traditional tunes—what a delicious introduction! Over the course of the next three weeks, students were invited into people’s homes, where they shared cups of tea, baked goods, 4 and stories.

  • The Hitch-Hiker Is Intended to Provide Information Which Beginning Adult Readers Can Read and Understand
    CONTENTS: Foreword Acknowledgements Chapter 1: The Southwestern Corner Chapter 2: The Great Northern Peninsula Chapter 3: Labrador Chapter 4: Deer Lake to Bishop's Falls Chapter 5: Botwood to Twillingate Chapter 6: Glenwood to Gambo Chapter 7: Glovertown to Bonavista Chapter 8: The South Coast Chapter 9: Goobies to Cape St. Mary's to Whitbourne Chapter 10: Trinity-Conception Chapter 11: St. John's and the Eastern Avalon FOREWORD This book was written to give students a closer look at Newfoundland and Labrador. Learning about our own part of the earth can help us get a better understanding of the world at large. Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province. Above all, we hope this book challenges your curiosity and encourages you to search for more information about our land. Don McDonald Director of Programs and Services Newfoundland and Labrador Literacy Development Council ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank the many people who so kindly and eagerly helped me during the production of this book.

  • Entanglements Between Irish Catholics and the Fishermen's

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.
