The Lunchbox 2020-06-09: Overcome

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • Tuesday was Donald Duck Day, but more importantly Call Your Doctor Day and Care For Your Grandparents Day. So, let’s all check our health and well-being, shall we?
  • While the normal format for Flourish Festival won’t be happening this year, they are reimagining their platform and working around new restrictions. “We’ve re-opened submissions for FLOURISH Festival 2020. We are reimagining our platform and working around new restrictions. We are especially interested in hearing about community projects, public art proposals, installation proposals, workshops/educational programming, murals, and other projects that do not require physical gathering.” Apply to join the festival on their website, flourish-fest.com . Submissions are open until Friday, June 27th.
  • Design Works Wednesdays will continue. This week, the new host (Jody McCleary) took over the new format and recorded a video on Picasso Pet Paintings.
  • The Digital Tertulias continue this week with Daniel Tubb on Gabriel Garcia Márquez. This will be live on Wednesday night at 7pm. This is the last scheduled tertulia so far.
  • To honour the memory and call for justice in the case of Chantal Moore, there will be a Healing Walk in numerous places across the province this weekend. In Fredericton, the event will start at 1pm starting at City Hall. Be sure to observe the necessary pandemic safety requirements as well as the protocols they have established to show your support properly and with respect.
  • I revisited an interview I did with Tea Fazio about the Girls STEM Up! conference from the fall of 2019. It is vital that we generate more interest in STEM fields, and make sure that women face no barriers and get necessary support to enter those studies if they wish.
  • We also revisited another Real Life Survivor‘s story: Lisa Richard.

The Lunchbox 2020-06-08: My Black Ram (and yours too!)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • Monday was Best Friends Day and World Oceans Day. Did you call a friend and stare lovingly at a photo of an ocean? Or at least eat seafood?
  • Monday also turned into My Black Ram day: I played Bondo’s pick of Another Lover, the interview I did with Peter and Jon from the band, and then a full version of Lost That Feeling. You can pick their album up online, or visit The Cap, or find them on Facebook and maybe still get home delivery.
  • I also revisited the most recent Real Life Survivor story, in which Julie and I spoke to Karen Richardson.
  • Good news! Fredericton’s Canada Day Committee is determined to have our summer celebration after all! They are planning a live stream of music all day, as well as a competition to decorate your home for the holiday.
  • Design Works Wednesdays will continue. This week, the new host (Jody McCleary) took over the new format and recorded a video on Picasso Pet Paintings.
  • The Digital Tertulias continue this week with Daniel Tubb on Gabriel Garcia Márquez. This will be live on Wednesday night at 7pm. This is the last scheduled tertulia so far.

The Lunchbox: 2020-06-04: Music Moves Us

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

In this show:

  • Today is Hug Your Cat Day and Corgi Day. It’s also Old Maid Day. I don’t think those are necessarily related, but some folks might be able to triple down today.. Lucky!
  • Tomorrow is World Environment Day. Don’t just hug a tree: plant one! Or clean up around one. Or figure out how you can prevent us from polluting our only planet..
  • It was on this date in 1726 that the 1725 Treaty of Peace and Friendship was ratified by the Mi’kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot Nations – re-affirming Wabanahki hunting, fishing and planting grounds.
  • The Roots and Soul Artist Takeover this Thursday night is Old Man Grant.  They’ll be taking over the page all day from beautiful BC.
  • This weekend’s Living Rooms Concert Series continues on June 7 at 5:30pm with Sarah Kierstead, Old Man Grant, Krista Shannon, and Joshua Bravener of The Hypochondriacs.
  • Today, I celebrate music heartily, with a revisit with my 2016 interview with Jesse Brown and my 2015 interview of Merrideth the Stage Manager of the Voodoo House Stage at Harvest Jazz & Blues.
  • This week’s Positive Songs For Pandemics from Lainie B is Valerie June. Also music featured from Kiwi Jr and Jesse Brown.

The Lunchbox 2020-06-03: Remembering

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • Its Repeat Day. Be sure to be on the watch for bad routines you need to break out of, or good habits you need to reinforce.
  • I spoke with Carol Harquil in the summer of 2019 at the Fredericton Region Museum about her ongoing residency, where she practices traditional and modern Native Dressmaking.
  • Mary Louise Macarthy and Jennifer Dow helped kick of my exploration of local history last fall with a discussion of Black History in NB.
  • This summer will be missing one of the newest gathering spots: the Garrison Night Market has announced its decision to suspend operations for 2020. “… the night market’s popularity as a community gathering spot necessitates this temporary closure. … those people who have come to the market over the past 2 years and know how tremendously successful and crowded it has been will understand that the risk is simply too great. On a good night we’ve seen upwards of 6-8,000 people.”
  • On a happier note, the Boyce Farmers Market is set to re-open this weekend, albeit with limited capacity and respectful, safety-related requirements. “The only entrance will be 665 George Street, where a washroom will be dedicated to handwashing and staff will direct shoppers to follow one-way directional signage. All vendors will wear community facemasks, and customers are strongly encouraged to do so as well. Additional staff will be on hand to ensure washrooms, doors and other high-touch surfaces are sanitized regularly. Eighty shoppers will be allowed in the market buildings at one time. Social distancing measures require vendors be spaced throughout the market, and businesses therefore may not be in their usual stall. “
  • A number of outdoor recreation areas are set to re-open under the second phase of recovery. Getting outside and getting exercise will do many of us a lot of good!

News update:

  • New Brunswick Public Health reported one new case of COVID-19 yesterday.
  • Over 500 people took to the streets of downtown Fredericton yesterday afternoon to show support for a Black Lives Matter rally.
  • The Codiac RCMP says a 47-year-old man from Moncton is facing assault and hate charges after an incident Monday.
  • A judge from Miramichi has charged 21-year-old Ethen Harnish with first-degree murder after the death of Brandon Martin.
  • The City of Fredericton says its final design for the new all-wheel sports plaza is receiving rave reviews.
  • A 47-year-old man was arrested near Bathurst after operating a vehicle under the influence.
  • The remains of a 64-year-old man were found in Chaleur Bay near Petit-Rocher-Nord on Saturday.
  • The doctor who brought COVID-19 to Campbellton went public yesterday in his first interview since the region’s outbreak.

The Lunchbox 2020-06-02: Understanding

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • To try to gain some perspective in the question of who we are, I brought forward an interview I did with two researchers, Isabelle and Bianca from back in 2016. They were asking youth about how they identified themselves in the province, and what being a New Brunswicker meant to them for something they called The Identity Project.
  • In 2015, I spoke with the UNB Elder-in-Residence Imelda Perley about an event called The Circle of Understanding. While it was five years ago, and the events that started things are many decades ago, it feels like conversations like this are more relevant than ever.
  • There are two Black Lives Matter-related events coming up over the next couple of days.
    • On Tuesday at 3pm, there is a Peaceful March starting at City Hall. Join to stand together and peacefully help support brothers and sisters fighting for justice in the US and in Canada. They ask that you please observe social distancing guidelines. See the Facebook event for more details.
    • On Wednesday at 7pm, there will be a Black and Indigenous Lives Matter Rally in front of the Legislature. Stand and gather in support against the violence against people based on the colour of their skin. Please observe social distancing guidelines. See the Facebook event for more details.
  • The Digital Tertulia scheduled for Wednesday night has been moved to 8:30pm, so that it does not conflict with the planned rally that evening. This tertulia is entitled, “The AIDS/coronavirus crises and lessons from queer activism”, and is being hosted by Karen Pearlston (a Professor of Law at UNB) and Jessi Taylor (from the Department of Gender, Race Sexuality and Social Justice at UBC). See the Facebook event for more details.

News:

  • New Brunswick Public Health reported no new cases of COVID-19 yesterday.
  • The University of New Brunswick unveiled its plan for the fall term. 
  • Shediac RCMP is investigating two suspicious house fires that police believe are connected.
  • Police in Kennebecasis Valley were called to a home in Quispamsis yesterday after a stranger sexually assaulted a six-year-old.
  • The City of Fredericton announced last night the Boyce Farmers Market would reopen on June 6.
  • Demonstrators will gather in Fredericton this afternoon to support the Black Lives Matter movement in honour of George Floyd.
  • Residents will soon be able to sports fields, ball fields and public playgrounds in the coming days and weeks.

The Lunchbox 2020-06-01: Art In All Times

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

On the show:

  • I didn’t get the chance to say it on the show, but shouldn’t every day be Say Something Nice Day?
  • I picked an interview I did with Lesandra Dodson of Solo Chicken Productions from back in 2019. She is leaving the company, so I wanted to share with you our talk on The Despot.
  • And speaking of art! I picked the interview with James Wilson from 2014 on his exhibit Redeemed, all about the restoration production of the Fred Ross mural at UNB.

News:

  • New Brunswick Public Health reported three new cases of COVID-19 in Campbellton yesterday.
  • Dr. Jennifer Russell said the new cases are in their 80s and are linked to Manoir de la Vallee long term care home.
  • After a search lasting almost two weeks, RCMP arrested 47-year-old Marc Pellerin of Notre-Dame, N.B. 
  • The province is reopening its libraries this Tuesday. It includes the Fredericton Public Library with its branches downtown and in Nashwaaksis. 
  • The province has started its heat event surveillance program. If it is deemed necessary, the government will issue alerts to inform residents when a heat event is coming.
  • High school graduation is going to look a little different this year. With COVID-19 putting a halt on traditional celebrations, Fredericton High School will stretch its commencement over several days.
  • Starting today, Dunns Crossing Road at Boyne Court will be reduced to one lane between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. 
  • Starting today, crews will finish the final construction phase on the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge. 
  • As of yesterday, the province was still split on its outdoor fire ban. Here in Fredericton, burning is only permitted between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. 
  • And the Sussex Drive-In had its busiest night of the season so far. Less than 200 vehicles stopped by for a double feature this past weekend.

The Lunchbox 2020-05-22: Geek Out

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

You’re probably wondering what happened to today’s show. A power outage caused some technical issues, and by the time I realized it wasn’t working, time had marched on. Also, since I’m spending the entire weekend and part of Monday attending an online geek convention, I won’t have time to play a new show on Monday. This show will repeat on Monday, but with an update COVID-19 update.

On today’s show:

  • Just a reminder: find a creative way to combine Sherlock Holmes Day and Goth Day to amaze and confuse your neighbours!
  • On Saturday, discuss how things are made for World Product Day while listening to great music that shaped the whole record on Title Track Day.
  • And on Monday, celebrate your inner (and outer!) nerd with Towel Day and Geek Pride Day!
  • On this day in 1851, the birth of the one of the brothers Ganong gave way to a sweet empire 22 years later. Meanwhile, this land was told, “You lot! Go make a country!” by the Queen of England.
  • The Cap will be open as a boutique record store and as a patio. Maintain good social distancing, celebrate with friends, and get great music! If you still don’t or can’t go in person, visit their online store.
  • The UNB Art Centre is presenting a new exhibit of artwork from the Permanent Collection each week, opening Friday, May 29. Called Revelations, it seeks to put on display elements from the 2300-strong “working” collection, especially elements which aren’t seen that often. Every Friday at 5:00 pm ADT beginning May 29 through June 26, you are invited to enter the UNB Art Centre Online and explore the East and West Galleries and see the latest release. You are also invited to their Facebook LIVE event where they will speak with some of the artists who produced these works.
  • Today, since I’m having a geeky weekend with a virtual scifi convention, I thought I’d share an interview with Chris Ryder from Animaritime before the convention in 2016. (Sorry, but this year’s convention is still postponed to next year.)
  • We bring another Bondo Pick with Distance Dealer from Fly Pan Am. I chose the title track from Quote The Raven‘s Golden Hour to celebrate this weekend’s Title Track Day, and paired the celebratory Morning Glow from Stephen Lewis for the interview.
