Episode 370: In this episode, we journey into the chilling case of Jesse Imeson—a man whose troubled past and violent crimes left a deep scar on Southwestern Ontario. In the summer of 2007, Imeson's name became synonymous with fear as he embarked on a deadly spree, taking three innocent lives. The victims were Carlos Rivera, 25, of Windsor and Helene Regier, 72, and her husband, Bill Regier, 73, near the community of Grand Bend. The discovery of the murders sparked a 12-day nationwide manhunt and led to the capture of the killer in Portage-du-Forte, Quebec, near the Ontario border. However, behind the headlines lies a story of trauma, addiction, and claims of childhood abuse that may have shaped the path to his horrific acts.

Ghost Investigation - Aviation Museum - Ghost in The Machine - Episode 205Back at the Infamous Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada,Home - Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada located beside the Richardson Airport in Winnipeg, Manitoba......and its HAUNTED!!!! even the volunteers and staff know its haunted. You have to remember these planes and artifacts carry ALOT of energy. Some people have even died in these planes that have been repaired to keep on display. Today's episode could be called 'Ghost in the Machine' as while we were talking to a volunteer about the one plane - our cell phones malfuctioned and locked up same as our microphones were acting up and we lost the audio - Here is the back story on that particular plane:50 years after a plane carrying residential school children crashed on Linwood Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada (RAMWC) is erecting a monument in their honour.On June 24, 1972, a plane carrying eight students attending residential schools in Stonewall and Portage la Prairie, bound for Bunibonibee Cree Nation (formerly Oxford House), crashed in a vacant lot located between 426 and 430 Linwood Street just after takeoff.Students Margaret Robinson, Mary Rita Canada, Ethel Grieves, Rosalie Balfour, Wilkie Muskego, Iona Weenusk, and siblings Roy and Deborah Sinclair, along with pilot Scott Coughlin, all died in the crash.Or we could have called this episode 'The Twilight Zone' as there was a particular Air Canada flight (in which we heard a traveller died on-board) had a weird effect when kelly stepped out of the plane, and Jas had a similar experience as though you 'didn't know where you were' like you were stepping into a void for a few seconds. We deeply thank Kelly and Ashley, once again, for allowing us to tag along to record some of the stories while we investgated. It was a great night as Sher even was able to make it out - reunited and it felt so good! *CAUTION we use our new lapel mics, which worked better than just off of the cell phone, however, it would cut out when others were talking since the musuem is rather large, so we apologize for the noise cutting in and out, I tried to edit as best as possible. 'SPIRITS WITH SPIRITS' rides again! if you are in the Winnipeg area, please come down and join just tomorrow - Wednesday, June 25th from 7 to 9 PM at 'The King's Head Pub' 120 King Street! and did you know......its very HAUNTED.....see you there...if you dare ! Enjoy this week's new episode!Music by Ruesche-Sounds https://www.youtube.com/channel/USqXOFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok & ReddittIf you have a local paranormal story of Winnipeg or in Manitoba, please email us at giivinguptheghostpodcast.@gmail.com - or if you just want to say 'Hi'!!!

Ils sont les acteurs méconnus et pourtant indispensables du quai de pêche de Kayar. Les porteurs de caisses de poissons transportent plusieurs fois dans la journée des dizaines de kilos pour une paie dérisoire. De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Kayar,Dans le tumulte du quai de pêche, pas pressants, ils font des allers et retours, des caisses remplies de poissons sur la tête. « Quand les pêcheurs reviennent de la mer, nous sommes chargés de sortir le poisson des pirogues pour les emmener soit dans les usines, soit dans les camions frigorifiques ou auprès du propriétaire de la pirogue », explique Modou Poye, tout en guettant l'arrivée d'une pirogue pour offrir ses services.« On se bouscule. Près de 200 personnes effectuent ce travail ici. Donc, il faut être prudent et être respectueux pour ne pas créer des problèmes. Quand on se rue et qu'une autre personne est choisie, je ne fais pas d'histoire, j'attends mon tour. Les caisses peuvent peser 40, 50 jusqu'à 60 kilos, c'est très lourd. »À écouter aussiSénégal : sur le quai de Kayar, des candidats à l'immigration prêts à toutTous ne sont pas patients comme Modou Poye. Il arrive que des bagarres éclatent entre porteurs, surtout quand la pêche n'a pas été fructueuse. Demba Ba erre également sur le quai, sa caisse sous le bras, en attendant de la remplir. « Quand il n'y a pas de poisson, il n'y a pas de travail pour nous et rien pour les dépenses quotidiennes. Chacun veut gagner quelque chose, donc il arrive qu'on se batte entre nous jusqu'à l'intervention des gendarmes. C'est pour ça qu'il faut qu'on soit mieux organisé », estime-t-il.Les porteurs sont payés 500 FCFA la course et pour gagner plus, il faut en faire une dizaine par jour. Le visage dégoulinant de sueur, Saliou Thiaw 52 ans, père de six enfants, vient de déposer une caisse. Il a quitté une autre région pour venir travailler sur ce quai de pêche : « Je fais ce travail depuis 30 ans, c'est très fatigant. Parfois, je gagne 3 000 FCFA, 4 000 ou 5 000 FCFA, ça dépend des jours. Quand on doit nourrir une famille, c'est compliqué. Tout ce que je gagne, c'est pour les besoins quotidiens de ma famille. Chez moi, personne d'autre ne fait ça, parce que c'est très dur. Mais c'est mieux que de voler ou de vendre de la drogue. »Ils aimeraient voir une augmentation du prix de la course, mais les propriétaires des pirogues et les autres acteurs de la pêche restent alignés sur le même montant. En plus de leur paie dérisoire, les porteurs de caisses sont aussi touchés par la diminution des quantités de poissons, car s'il n'y a pas de pêche, ils ne peuvent pas travailler.

Send us a textKevin Callan, the Happy Camper, returns to share the remarkable journey of publishing his 20th book – a children's story called "A Spark of Courage." After multiple rejections from major publishers who couldn't see the market for a book about nature helping anxiety in youth, Kevin took matters into his own hands with passionate determination.The book follows Paul, an anxious pre-teen reluctant to embark on a canoe trip with his Uncle Roy. Through beautifully illustrated pages created by Cliff McArdle, we witness Paul's transformation from a nervous, screen-dependent kid to someone who embraces wilderness experiences. What makes the story unique is how woodland creatures secretly guide and teach both Paul and his uncle throughout their adventure.Kevin's decision to self-publish reveals the changing landscape of publishing and the obstacles authors face when trying to share meaningful messages. From navigating print-on-demand services to dealing with third-party sellers attempting to list his unreleased book at inflated prices, the journey demonstrates how passion can overcome traditional gatekeepers. Though self-publishing means taking on all marketing and distribution responsibilities, it provides significantly higher royalties and creative control.Throughout our conversation, Kevin shares insights from his decades teaching youth in outdoor settings: "We just have to take them in the woods for a long period of time and they become who they are. It's magical." This firsthand experience of nature's transformative power drives his mission to reach young readers struggling with anxiety in our increasingly digital world.Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's mental health, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone curious about publishing alternatives, this episode offers wisdom, humor, and inspiration. Grab a copy of "A Spark of Courage" at Canadian Outdoor Equipment or your favorite retailer, and follow Kevin's upcoming adventures as he balances book tours with his beloved wilderness trips.https://kevincallan.com/https://www.instagram.com/kchappycamper/https://www.facebook.com/thehappycamper/https://www.youtube.com/user/KCHappyCamperSupport the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

This episode ties up the loose ends that remained at the end of the expedition of Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette in 1673. Among other things, we explore the ultimate fate of Jolliet's optimistic vision that a canal could bridge the continental divide in Illinois, allowing sailing ships to travel from Lake Erie all the way to the Gulf. Along the way we learn all sorts of factoids, including the fate of the Carolina Parakeet, snippits from the earliest history of Chicago, including the origin of the name of that city, and the resolution of Marquette's pervasive gastrointestinal issues. [Errata: About five minutes along I saw that Jolliet arrived at Quebec about July 29, 1673. Should have been1674.

Art, S3x, and Sarcasm Episode 036: January 18, 2025 Nigel Sade and I take a break and have some fun. Art is more than a hobby or career — it's a lifestyle. About Nigel Sade “Nigel Sade was born on a bright and sunny day nearly to some, and exactly to others, 40 years after D-day. Some consider this meaningful whilst the rest laugh at those people, but I digress. He was raised in hell ... or rather Ohio but I don't want to split hairs. In a smallish county called Portage. As a child he could be found drawing on any surface he could make a mark on, and with all the moving security deposits were more like donations. In School this A.D.H.D. Toth wannabe (but with hands) was considered a bit strange by his peers, ... a malady that never left him as it turned out. As a teenager he was a rebellious youth, A Technicolored street Freak, delving into every aspect of art, from Drawing to painting to Music to Religion to Science to Philosophy in general. Then there were the dark times ... the marriage! When his soul was crushed by evil and doubt. He Dreamt of being an artist but that was not a real job ... how could you feed a family with that pipe dream? However, In just 6 and a half long agonizing years it was over. On the Up side His torment was not without reward; He now has 2 lovely Spawn with which to explore life. Shortly after his divorce Nigel graduated college with a degree in Philosophy. So Armed with his freedom, his offspring, and an amazing ability to argue points that even he may not believe, he set out on the high seas of art! This was a joyous thing! There was much weirdness, art, travel, debauchery and Success. Stories were made and told, and now he Currently travel the amber waves of grain, questioning whatever reality he is presented with, chewing that up and spitting it out in the form of art. Then Nigel shows that art to the hapless masses in hopes that it moves them as much at it moved him to create it. Nigel's art in form is Symbolism (Much like Surrealism), represented in either a realism or Abstracts, and in function it explores basic ideas we hold, mostly it does so by exploring questions of Reality, Love, Thought and plain old strangeness. Nigel's belief is that art should spur conversation, not just match ones curtains. Now you may ask, "What does all this have to do with piracy?" Well, he was always a grungy, bandana wearin' freak. His family was and is highly Piratical What with their last name Rogers all the family businesses are Jolly Roger this and Jolly Roger that ... Not to mention their propensity for Rum. So with his families' nautical background and the new Pirate craze, the public proclaimed him a pirate, and a pirate he was. Yet, having always loved pirates, one can say Nigel got peanut butter in his chocolate!” Nigels's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/NigelSade Echo Chernik Links: Website: https://www.EchoChernik.com Illustration: https://www.echo-x.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/echoxartist Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/echochernik Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thexcaliberproject Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/echox/created

This week, we went to Marina Shores Yacht Club in Portage. Enjoy!

Erin Marbarger is the Senior Education Director and Director of Climate and Sustainability at the Anchorage Museum. And for the last six years Erin, Museum staff and schools and communities have been collecting soundscapes from around Alaska. Anchorage at first and then other locations like Nenana, Nuiqsut, Portage, Seldovia, Sitka and Soldotna. They recorded sounds from rivers to traffic. Everything that punctuates an otherwise quiet environment because much can be learned from these sounds — weather patterns, animal behavior, human activity. It all shapes the world we live in, both natural and manmade.  How about climate change, though, does that have a sound? This is a question Erin has been thinking about a lot lately. She says that one way we hear it is in the lack of sound, an animal that no longer exists in a certain area, for example. Acoustic Phenology — the study of how climate affects plants, animals and microbes — is another way we hear it. Like with Springtime, we begin to hear birds and all their different songs. So, it's important to record these soundscapes because they're always changing and sound can be a measure of change. The soundscapes recorded today, for instance, could be completely different than they will be in 50 or 100 years. These areas could be more developed, causing it to sound more urban or industrial. Or if human activity is reduced, it could mean more sounds of wildlife and nature. It all depends on how we treat the natural environment today.
