Happy Easter from your Premier.

Newfoundland Mug-Up.

Enjoying an afternoon walk at Cape Ray and taking the time to boil up a kettle to make Tea.

Another Wind Storm hits the area and the Wreckhouse winds go to 160 KPH. Couple of little Video's to add,



and one from today.

The driver of a transport truck, which overturned on its side from high wind gusts while trying to cross the Wreckhouse area last week, says a Western Star story quoting an RCMP officer grossly misrepresented the situation.

My opinion (He has to say that now to cover his Ass.) Wind Warnings are released far in advance and it's possible with today's Devices to get up to the minute info on what the weather is like at the Wreckhouse.It's also possible to look back to the wind Gusts 24 hours prior on the Environment Canada Site. Enough info is available now to make an informed decision before you attempt to run that Gauntlet.

A Video from a walk today and a few photos added from this month.

Couple of new NL Tourism Ads out today and they're great.

The above was from Friday's mishap in the Wreckhouse when gusts up to nearly 150 KPH blew this one over. Today the winds are already gusting to 131 KPH and I'm wondering if someone else has attempted to run it. Somethings never change ! Link to the above story Here >>>>>

Ottawa researcher’s firing derails Viking project:

 

OTTAWA — This should be the best of times for Pat Sutherland. November’s issue of National Geographic magazine and a documentary airing Thursday night on CBC’s The Nature of Things both highlight research the Ottawa archeologist has been doing in the Canadian Arctic for the past dozen years that could fundamentally alter our understanding of our early history.
If Sutherland is right, Norse seafarers — popularly known as Vikings — built an outpost on Baffin Island, now called Nanook, centuries before Columbus blundered on to North America. Moreover, there’s evidence they traded with the Dorset, the Arctic’s ancient, now-vanished inhabitants, for as many as 400 years.
”That’s incredible,” says Andrew Gregg, who wrote, directed and produced The Norse: An Arctic Mystery, the CBC documentary that recounts Sutherland’s findings. “That rewrites all the history books.” More on this Story/Cover up,whatever?,Click here >>>>

September Walk

We recently lost a person who once resided in our Community,Cape Ray. Meridith Marks never forgot her Roots even though she made it to the World Stage in her Field. Meridith became a specialist in Rehabilitation Medicine and a Full Professor, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa. She was a internationally recognized innovator in clinical education, and the founder of the Academy for Innovation in Medical Education (AIME). NTV News recently showed a Segment on her Achievements.

Yesterday a Ceremony was held at Cape Ray, the place she grew up. I was invited and shot the below Video. Check it out if your interested.
