ICYMI, from Mar. 24: Polar bears seem to have been plentiful on the island of Newfoundland in recent weeks. "Plentiful," of course, is a matter of perspective.

We've heard a lot about the health care situation in Bonavista in recent weeks. The closure of the emergency room there due to a lack of physicians has resulted in weekly demonstrations, and even a claim by one family that their loved one died after being diverted to Clarenville for care. The Town also announced it would offer incentives for doctors interested in practising in the area. Now the province is offering its own incentive packages in hopes of attracting new doctors. John Norman - the mayor of Bonavista - is hopeful the efforts will make a difference.

You'd need more than a chairlift to catch up to White Hills in the Mackenzie Top Peak competition. The Canada-wide contest, which offers 100-thousand dollars to the winner, gauges how invested communities are in their local ski hill, by collecting votes and online examples of community spirit. It's the first time a resort from this province has made the top 10, and Clarenville's ski hill just finished Round One with a mighty lead. Keith Fillier is a town councillor in Clarenville, representing the town on the White Hills Board of Directors.

Of course, this is a very distressing series of events--especially for Bonavista residents, who've been organizing weekly protests about health care in their region. And yesterday, Bonavista MHA Craig Pardy weighed in on the situation. He spoke with the CBC's Darrell Roberts.

He's being remembered as a builder of the town., and as a victim of the town's hospital closures. 78-year-old Charles Marsh died last week. He was in an ambulance between Bonavista and Clarenville, while Bonavista's hospital was on diversion. Marsh's family says his death was needless.

What should have been a pleasant walk during one of those spectacular October days we had, took a mortifying turn for the worse. Mike Andrews and his daughter Jessica joined us from Clarenville.

In this episode we talk about something near and dear to both of us, mental health. We dive into the importance of what we eat and how we feel and tangible tips on how to feel better. We also talk about Erin's journey and how it wasn't linear. Her success was determined by her learning how to follow her gut and be true to herself. We really dive into what it looks like to not fall into the trap of what you “should” do and trust yourself to create your own. Erin also dives into how the naturopathic world can help you find that balance and feel like your best self from the inside out. This episode is so jam packed with information, you aren't going to want to miss it. About Erin… Hi! I'm Erin, and I'm a former sociologist turned Naturopathic Doctor. Plants and food are some of my favourite things on the planet, and I'm lucky enough to be able to use their healing properties to help create a healthier community. I am also a lover of yoga, and a fan of the arts in general; though music holds a special place in my heart. I'm originally from St. John's, however, I've spent the past several years bopping around eastern Canada, eventually leading me to study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, ON. The panoramic had unexpectedly brought me back to St. John's after graduation, but I'm ever so thankful it did. I am blessed enough to serve our community out of Align Chiropractic and Wellness in Mount Pearl, and Back in Sync Wellness Centre in Clarenville. I welcome patients with all varieties of concerns, but my true clinical passion lies in mental and digestive wellness, as well as women's health. When I'm not in the clinic, you can probably find me outside somewhere – either on a trail chasing the sun or covered in garden dirt, and definitely singing to myself. It is a joy and an honour to be back in NL serving my community, and working with so many other brilliant entrepreneurs shaping the health and future of our province.

The Second World War had barely ended by the time reports of "flying saucers" began to make headlines in 1947. What were these mysterious objects, and were they friends, or foes? Soon, speculation about what world superpower might possess such technology shifted to a novel proposition: what if they could be evidence of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth? Although the flying saucers were a new development, ideas about life from other worlds was hardly anything new. This week, we go in search of the history behind the concept of extraterrestrial life, and how our ideas about it have evolved over time to include speculations about life on Mars, and whether the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis is indeed the best solution to the UFO mystery.

Kenneth Neil played four great seasons with Oswego before heading to Europe. This week we do a deep dive into his hockey career, and just growing up in Clarenville, NL.

When Clarenville RCMP Constable Jim Blackwood responded to a report of an unusual object in the sky, he expected it to be the next in a series of recent reports that all resulted in nothing more than a confused citizen describing a vague light. When he arrived to the scene he found a group of mystified witnesses viewing the still clearly visible object with binoculars. He knew then that this report was unique. The incredible events which unfolded during the roughly two hour long sighting would fuel both an international media whirlwind and a localized UFO craze.   In this episode, the amazing details of the 1978 Clarenville, Newfoundland UFO sighting will be told by the now retired Cst. Jim Blackwood.   Links: Buy a limited edition Clarenville UFO Coin - https://bit.ly/2HWaK1Z Enter the UFO Coin Giveaway NightTime Blog post containing documents/video related to this sighting - https://www.nighttimepodcast.com/blogmaster/clarenville-ufo Jim's ‘Racoon Whisperer’ YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/vjamb Contact: Website: https://www.nighttimepodcast.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/NightTimePod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NightTimePod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nighttimepod Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/nighttimepodcast Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/Nighttimepodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The packet ships were contracted by governments to carry mail and also carried passengers and timely items such as newspapers. Up till this point there were no regular passages advertised by sailing ships. They arrived at port when they could, dependent on the wind, and left when they were loaded, frequently visiting other ports to complete their cargo       Paddlers     The Sirius is considered the first Blue Riband holder for her 1838 voyage to New York at 8.03 knots (14.87 km/h). In 1843, Great Western recorded a Blue Riband voyage of 10.03 knots (18.58 km/h). In 1832, Junius Smith, American lawyer turned London merchant, published the idea of building a line of transatlantic   Single srew     Single screw steamers (1872–89)[edit] White Star's Adriatic by George Parker Greenwood. She was the first screw liner  to    win the Blue Riband with an 1872 run at 14.65 knots (27.13 km/h)   In 1845, Brunel’s Great Britain became the first iron-hulled screw liner on the Atlantic. Starting in 1850, the Inman Line built numerous reduced versions for the steerage trade      Cunard's Etruria of 1885, averaged 19.56 knots (36.23 km/h) on an 1888 Blue Riband crossing                                                                                 Inman's City of Paris broke 20.01 knots (37.06 km/h) in 1889                                                                                                                                 Double screw  streamers 1887  1907      Cunard's Mauretania held the Blue Riband from 1909 to 1929 at 26.06 knots (48.26 km/h   Cunard White Star's Queen Mary regained the Blue Riband at 30.99 knots (57.39 km/h) in 1938.     The United States won the Blue Riband at 34.51 knots (63.91 km/h) in 1952. Formally, she still holds the title     cables   When the first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid in 1858 by businessman Cyrus West Field, it operated for only three weeks; subsequent attempts in 1865 and 1866 were more successful. Although a telephone cable was discussed starting in the 1920s[citation needed], to be practical it needed a number of technological advances which did not arrive until the 1940s.[citation needed] Starting in 1927, transatlantic telephone service was radio-based.[1] TAT-1 (Transatlantic No. 1) was the first transatlantic telephone cable system. It was laid between Gallanach Bay, near Oban, Scotland and Clarenville, Newfoundland between 1955 and 1956 by the cable ship Monarch.[2] It was inaugurated on September 25, 1956, initially carrying 36 telephone channels. In the first 24 hours of public service there were 588 London–U.S. calls and 119 from London to Canada. The capacity of the cable was soon increased to 48 channels. TAT-1 was finally retired in 1978. Later coaxial cables, installed through the 1970s, used transistors and had higher bandwidth     HMS Agamemnon                                                     vessel Niagara     1.

Optical fibers [source]  In March 3013, Scientists working at the University of Southampton discovered a new way to push data using a special hollow fibre optic cable capable of transferring speeds of 73.7 Tbit/s on a single cable. The elimination of glass as a barrier, in combination with improved hollow cables, has helped to nudge speeds up to very impressive levels; in this case, the data packets were being transferred at 99.7% of the speed of light, increasing the data throughput of the cable accordingly.    Atlantic licghts  The idea of transatlantic flight came about with the advent of the balloon. The balloons of the period were inflated with coke gas, a moderate lifting medium compared to hydrogen or helium, but with enough lift to use the winds that would later be known as the Jet Stream. In 1859, John Wise built an enormous aerostat named the Atlantic, intending to cross the Atlantic. The flight lasted less than a day    Atlantic flying from the U.S. to Newfoundland, then to the Azores and on to Portugal and finally the UK. The whole journey took 23 days, with six stops along the way   The possibility of transatlantic flight by aircraft emerged after the First World War, which had seen tremendous advances in aerial capabilities. In April 1913 the London newspaper The Daily Mail offered a prize of £10,000   On 14–15 June 1919, British aviators Alcock and Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight.[4] During the War, Alcock resolved to fly the Atlantic, and after the war he approached the Vickers engineering and aviation firm at Weybridge, who had considered entering their Vickers Vimy IV twin-engined bomber in the competition but had not yet found a pilot. Alcock's enthusiasm impressed the Vickers' team and he was appointed as their pilot. Work began on converting the Vimy for the long flight, replacing the bomb carriers with extra petrol tanks.[5] Shortly afterwards Brown, who was unemployed, approached Vickers seeking a post and his knowledge of long distance navigation convinced them to take him on as Alcock's navigator.[6]   Alcock and Brown made the first transatlantic flight in 1919. They took off from St. John's, Newfoundland       Bronw and Alcock taking off newoundland     Alcock and Brown landed in Ireland 1919. Their flight paved the way for commercial transatlantic aviation         Commercial airship flights[edit] Flown picture postcard from the "First North American Flight" of the D-LZ127 (1928) On 11 October 1928, Hugo Eckener, commanding the Graf Zeppelin airship as part of DELAG's operations, began the first non-stop transatlantic passenger flights, leaving Friedrichshafen, Germany, at 07:54 on 11 October 1928, and arriving at NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey, on 15 October.    Between 1931 and 1937 the Graf Zeppelin crossed the South Atlantic 136 times   The Short Mayo Composite project, co-designed by Mayo and Shorts chief designer Arthur Gouge,[21][22] comprised the Short S.21 Maia,[23] (G-ADHK) which was a variant of the Short "C-Class" Empire flying-boat fitted with a trestle or pylon on the top of the fuselage to support the Short S.20 Mercury(G-ADHJ).[23][24] The first successful in-flight separation of the Composite was carried out on 6 February 1938, and the first transatlantic flight was made on 21 July 1938     The Yankee Clipper's inaugural trip across the Atlantic was on June 24, 1939. Its route was from Southampton to Port Washington, New York with intermediate stops at Foynes, Ireland, Botwood, Newfoundland, and Shediac, New Brunswick. Its first passenger flight was on 9 July,             .
