Away From The Mire Episode 61 – Getting Loud!

Posted on by Posted in Away From The Mire, chsr, Current Shows, Music Shows

If Ozzfest 97 or the Family Values Tour was your dream concert event, this is the episode for you!

I’ve been wanting to do a hard rock/metal episode for quite a while and this is the one! I was a teenager during the late 90’s nu metal era and if it was in Hit Parader magazine I was into it. This was super fun to put together and while I don’t listen to most of these bands regularly it was great to reconnect with what was a pivotal part of my teenage years. I hope you’ll enjoy the show and my stories! Pairs well with WCW Revenge on N64 and pepperoni Pizza Pockets.

Coal Chamber – Bradley
Kittie – Brackish

CHSR News – December 4th, 2024 – Premier Holt Announces Dates For Nurse Retention Payments, CUPE Yet To Agree

Posted on by Posted in CHSR News, General, News

Nurses in New Brunswick have a date on when they will receive their promised 10,000$ retention bonuses from the Holt government.

It was announced that 9,950 retention payments will be sent out on December 19th, with the hopes that they will be received by Dec.31st or shortly into the new year.

Approximately 1000 LPNs under the Canadian Union of Public Employees, or CUPE, have yet to sign the provinces letter of agreement as they are waiting on a formal letter of commitment from the government to repeal Bill 17, the Pension Plan Sustainability and Transfer Act, which transferred several locals represented by CUPE from a defined benefit pension to a shared risk model.

The bonuses will cost the province $83 million, which is an additional $60 million added to the previously budgeted 23 million for the provinces wage bill for 2024-25.

Posted on by Posted in CHSR News, News

Canada’s Men’s National Soccer Team recently finished on top of the 2024 CONCACAF Nations League standings through the quarter-final round, achieving their highest world ranking in the country’s history at 31st.

The team has continued to roll under new head coach Jesse Marsch, beating Suriname 1-0 on the road on November 15th and 3-0 on November 19th at home in Toronto.

Part of Marsch’s staff resides right here in Fredericton in video/performance analyst Joe Hamilton who was contacted by the team after they had a late staff pullout and urgently needed to fill the video/performance analyst role prior to the 2021 Gold Cup. 

Hamilton has held the role ever since, including through Canada’s successful world cup qualifying, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the most recent Copa America.

Have a listen to hear more about Hamilton’s story.

Interview: The 25th Wall [THEATRE]

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

Longevity, persistence and maintaining a love of the craft sets some artistic endeavours in a class by themselves.

My guests today are Corinski Nowlan (Herbert The Cow Productions), Scott Shannon (Nasty Shadows Theatre Company) and Ryan Griffith (Next Folding Theatre Company), here to celebrate 25th anniversaries for two of the companies with a triptych of plays in a production called The 25th Wall. We discuss the exploration that each company and author engages is, the dark and weird productions they have planned, and what drives them to write in their own universes.

The 25th Wall opens in Saint John at The Phoenix on December 5, plays in Moncton on December 6 at the théâtre l’Escaouette, and then runs on December 11 and 12 at Memorial Hall.
