This province is seeing a record number of immigrants making Newfoundland and Labrador their home. They all moved here to start a new life. But, for some, it's also a chance to start their own business. Over the next few weeks, CBC will be profiling some of these entrepreneurs, starting with one in L'anse au Loup. He's a chocolate maker who sells gourmet sweets from his home, but a few weeks ago, he headed to Corner Brook for a pop-up sale. That's where the CBC's Amy Feehan caught up with him.

As communities responded to the crisis and welcomed people into their homes, there was a chance encounter between a Rabbi from England and an elderly person from Gander, Newfoundland: Edward Brake, grandfather of reporter Justin Brake.Edward told the Rabbi that he was a Holocaust survivor and had suppressed his Jewish identity his whole life. But now, he said, it was time to share his story before it was lost forever. How could the entire Brake family be unaware of this history? If the story is true, what does that mean for Justin? Justin sets off on a quest, speaking to family and digging through provincial archives in search of answers.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Justin Brake (Writer & Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further reading: The Day the World Came to Town — HarperCollins PublishersMeet the rabbi who got stranded in Newfoundland on 9/11 — Canadian Jewish NewsAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: Elijah Craig, Athletic Greens, King's UniversityIf you value this podcast, support us!

The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede is an inspirational book that will leave you feeling all that is good and right in the world. As the title implies, the book recounts the air traffic redirections on 9/11, when 38 planes carrying over 6,000 passengers and 470 crew members were instructed to land in Gander, Newfoundland. Gander, Newfoundland has long served as a pitstop for planes traveling across the Atlantic Ocean. For many years, planes were forced to stop in Gander as they did not have the fuel capacity to make it across the Atlantic. Once larger aircraft were manufactured, Gander was no longer needed as a refueling station. The city did, however, remain heavily involved in air traffic control. In the wake of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, the US Department of Transportation ordered all airborne aircraft to land immediately and those planes that were not in the air remained grounded. US airspace was closed for several days. The Day the World Came to Town tells the story of how the tiny town of Gander jumped into action realizing that they were going to become a landing destination. Not only did the local air traffic controller team anticipate the onslaught of aircraft, the team also realized that, with US airspace shutdown, the passengers and crews would need somewhere to sleep, shower and eat. The people of Gander stepped into action. They opened their schools, churches, clubs, and homes to the visitors. They prepared food and gave away their towels, sheets, and other linens as well as clothing – anything they could do to help out. The local retailers chipped in as well. Anything the visitors needed was provided – for free. Clothing, blankets, medication, diapers – even drinks at the bar – all for free. Two women realized that pets were in the planes baggage compartments and crawled into each one to feed the animals until they were allowed to get them out and keep them in a hanger where a veterinarian provided services for free. Neighboring towns helped out by filling in the void when Gander ran out of stock. What was most touching, was that the townspeople of Gander went out of their way to minimize the visitor's stress. For example, they brought toys to the children and celebrated their birthdays. They ensured that dietary restrictions were addressed. They prayed with and held the hands of the visitors who were fearful that they lost loved ones. After the visitors left, the Canadian Government wanted to host a party to honor the townspeople of Gander for their hospitality and generosity. The townspeople politely declined. They weren't heroes, they were just doing what anyone should do in this situation. I was in New York City just one block from the World Trade Center on 9/11. The party I was with was going to try to make its way back to Louisville but I wanted to go home to Pittsburgh so we parted company. I walked in silence to Times Square where a colleague of my husband's opened up her hotel room to share with me until we could find transportation back to Pennsylvania. I will never forget that she greeted me in the lobby with a big hug. When we got to her room, we looked out the window and saw the second tower collapse. I will never forget that image and I will never forget Lucy's generosity over the next few days. Those feelings came flooding back to me when I read The Day the World Came to Town. We live in a world full of challenges and unrest, but every once in a while, the human spirit and kindness emerge and prove that we can live together respectfully and peacefully. I highly recommend this book so that we never forget the horrid events of 9/11 along with the outpouring of kindness from our fellow humans. And hats off to the people of Gander, Newfoundland for showing the world what fellowship and leadership really mean.

Gander, Newfoundland was the site of one of the greatest collective acts of kindness of which I know. On September 11, 2001, nearly 7,000 passengers and crew members landed in that small town of only 10,000 residents as American airspace shut down following the terrorist attacks of that day. What followed was nearly a week of around the clock creative acts of kindness to house, feed, care for, and console them all. The citizens of Gander are the subject of Jim's book The Day the World Came to Town and also the topic of today's fantastic quote derived from it.
Jim DeFede, author of The Day the World Came to Town, the inspiration for the hit Broadway musical, Come From Away, was our November "Bookaccino Live" Book Group guest. The Day the World Came to Town tells a true story of untold events from September 11th. When United States airspace closed, 38 jetliners were forced to land in Gander, a small town in Newfoundland. Residents of Gander welcomed “the plane people” warmly, even as the population of the town swelled to nearly twice its size. The visitors were met with grace and helpfulness, in an example of the best side of human nature. Carol Fitzgerald, who hosts this discussion, confesses that for years she could not talk about this book without getting emotional. With this opportunity for a live book group discussion, Jim DeFede dove deep into his 20-year-old book, including how he came to write it. He shares his thoughts on Come From Away, the hit Broadway musical. If you haven't read The Day the World Came to Town or seen the Broadway musical, Come From Away, know that there's plenty to learn here to inspire you to want to read it and discuss it with your group.

The rise of the printing press created a precursor to the modern day newspaper, where printed publications like broadsides and pamphlets served to communicate ideas, updates, and notices about new laws, the progress of wars abroad, and even comic stories, true crime tales, and anecdotes. People who deliver letters are referred to in Shakespeare's plays the “post” and letters are often referred to as “news” with Shakespeare using the word “news” an astonishing 326 times across his works. There's obviously an overlap between messengers, oral tradition, news, and letters for Shakespeare's lifetime, but what exactly was the importance of written communication and what should we understand about the system of letter delivery and communication when we see characters named only “messenger” Or “post” appear on Shakespeare's stage? Did Shakespeare have things like envelopes, stamps, or even a postal address? Here today to take us back to the 16th and early 17th century to explore the role of letters and communication systems in Shakespeare's lifetime is our guest and author of The Invention of News: How the World Came to Know About Itself, Dr. Andrew Pettegree.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2021 marks the 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that changed America on September 11th, 2001. We ALL remember where we were. In today's episode, ETB showcases three stories.1. LESLIE MORRIS - On the morning of 9/11, Leslie was giving a presentation with 30 colleagues on the 30th floor of the South Tower. It was supposed to be an in-and-out trip.2. ROBERT LAMBERT - The harrowing experience of 9/11 took a twist for Robert. Lambert, who was 400 yards away from the Twin Towers when the two planes hit and came down, had just met Raelen a week earlier. The disaster of 9/11 turned into a love story that resulted in the couple getting married and starting a family in Sacramento.3. CHRIS SCHENK - The reason for this podcast. Chris called me a week or so ago and asked if I would like to be a part of a community event that would honor 9/11 and in particular Flight 175 (that crashed into the South Tower). The conversation expanded. SEGMENT ONE

Today we reflect on recent events, including George Floyd's Trial verdict, racism in the medical system and Fertility treatment world. How changing plans makes feel and how ultimately, missing one week of the podcast makes ZERO difference in the big scheme of things. The reading of the blog post is about when the doctor told me I couldn't conceive naturally, how that made me feel and how I ultimately pulled through after that awful appointment. It was a day that marked my life forever and it affected not just me and my husband but those around us.

With recent events and the current pandemic gripping the world, many people are in shock, panic, and sadness. Yet, there is reason for hope and positive expectation as the human spirit has survived mind-bending catastrophes in the past and will continue to thrive in many times to come. This is the lesson we learned from our guest on Love University, Mia Kingsley, author of the award-winning post-apocalyptic novel, Survivors of the Sun. Here are some tips we learned from Mia about how to survive in the worst of times—even when we think the world may be coming to an end. *We have to evolve: The world is constantly changing, and we need to change with it. As humans, we try to hang on to mental and emotional security, only to realize that constancy is fleeting. Everything changes and evolves. We grow older, hopefully wiser, and the things we had before we may not have tomorrow. Yet, we can also expand our consciousness, give and receive more love, and make a positive contribution—no matter what type of world we live in. Growth is an absolute. *We need to be prepared: Catastrophic world events are no longer just seen in science fiction or some futuristic scenario. We are currently living in a world where dangers may come from unknown and different directions. In the current health crisis, we must have needed supplies, practice good hygiene, and limit our exposure to the virus until the health authorities tell us it’s OK to carry on as usual. Preparation eases our minds and helps us face the new challenges that await. *Make something beautiful. All of us have something beautiful inside—perhaps a talent, ability, or attribute. Maybe, you’re good at music, sports, art, science, writing, teaching, business, crafts, or caretaking. Perhaps, you’re humorous and can make people laugh, or you’re an inspiring and motivating person who can help others be their best. Or, you just may be a strong, silent type who comforts people by your presence. Whatever your talent—in Spanish it is called “Don,” (gift from God)—use it to help yourself and others. If you’re stuck at home, engage in your hobbies and interests to enliven the lives of those around you. Make a new song, artwork, or crafts handiwork that you can give to others; bake a cake, write a story, teach a child something. Whatever you do, make it come from inside your own beauty, and you will enliven everyone’s day. *It’s all about love. In the end, love is the ultimate prize and the ultimate solution. Spending time with your family and loved ones in difficult times is the silver lining behind the clouds of fear and despair. Giving love to others without expectation is one of the golden secrets to your everyday happiness. Smile at people, give them sincere compliments, do a video chat session with a hurting friend as you attentively listen to their problems. These are all ways you can extend loving energy to others on a daily basis. The key is that you will give love without expectation—without expecting that others will smile back, like you, or even be attentive to you. You give loving energy because you have it inside—and the more you give it, the more it grows. It’s true: Love is the only thing that can combat the darkness of fear and despair. Use it as your sword against suffering and you will be victorious. Yes, it is possible to survive, and even thrive, in difficult and dark times. Whether you are suffering because of the current world health situation, or because you may have other personal challenges in your life, there is a solution—there is hope. Loving yourself, others, and a higher nature; putting your talents to use for the good of humanity; and evolving into the best human being you can possibly be. These are all solutions to fear, sadness, and loneliness. You will have joy in your heart and confidence in your step when you fully become who you were meant to be and project a shining example to all who cross your path. You will not just survive—you will prosper and a leave a lasting legacy of love and goodness to the world.
This week, on our first Perfect Pairing, we selected two books with a strong sense of neighborhood. Amie read The Good Neighbor by Maxwell King and Tami read The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede. Both selections gave us great insight into what it means to be a good neighbor and what a strong sense of community means during a difficult time.

Lorelai’s got some questions, so we’re doing journalistic research to find some answers! First off, we have no idea who Susan Faludi is, much less where she came from. We dig into her work as a gender-focused journalist, her debunking of popular statistics, and what she has to do with Lorelai’s bad experience at a middle school Sadie Hawkins dance. Next up, how are supposed to know what Miss Manners would do if we have no clue what she’s up to? We talk her perspective on modern etiquette, how she impacted The Washington Posts’srelationship with Richard Nixon, and how she would handle Emily’s conflict with Trix. Plus, how are these ladies’ work relevant today? How are movies like hot dogs? Pull out your reporter’s notebooks and find out with us.

On August 16, 2016, I posted the above picture on Instagram with this caption: Today is a bittersweet day. After many years of homeschooling, I just dropped the kids off at the new Classical School they are attending this year. I'm so grateful for those sweet years I had to be a homeschool mom. I'm also grateful for God's direction this year (for a long list of reasons) that a different schooling option is best for our family and our kids. I won't pretend it's been an easy decision. It's one that we made with a tremendous amount of thought, prayer, discussion, and tears. Ultimately, we have so much peace as we walk into this new season. There will be new challenges and new opportunities and I'm excited to see what God has in store as we trust Him to lead one step at a time. Since posting that Instagram post almost three years ago, we've gotten a lot of questions about why we stopped homeschooling and how we knew it was the right decision for our family. I know that schooling choices and decisions are incredibly personal and can be somewhat controversial, so I wasn't sure that I ever wanted to broach this topic publicly... and I really haven't for 3 years. But then, we got many requests to interview our kids on the podcast. We decided to move forward with this and I asked you all on Instagram to submit questions you'd like for us to ask them on their podcast interview. To our surprise, there were SO many questions begging us to talk about the transition from homeschooling to private school and how it was for our kids. We asked the kids if they'd be willing to share -- and they were. So, enjoy this very honest family conversation around why we stopped homeschooling, how we came to this decision, how it's been for our kids (one child was very, very angry about it!), and the best things and hard things about switching from homeschool to private school. Ultimately, I hope that this conversation inspires you to be intentional in how you approach schooling choices (and other choices!) for your kids. And that our journey and honesty might be helpful or encouraging to you as you parent your own kids. In This Episode: [01:08] - Jesse and I have so much to share with you today -- including some fun adventures from our recent trips to Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. [08:18] - I share a fun email we received from a listener that proves Jesse is right when he used the word "confluence" in a previous episode and promised that some people use it regularly. (You guys aren't helping me out much!!) [09:05] - My mobile hotspot and the ability to work on the road is what is saving my life this week! [11:06] - I started reading The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede and the story was insightful and impactful. You can get the book for free right now by signing up for Kindle Unlimited. [14:21] - Today we're joined by our kids -- Kathrynne, Kaitlynn, and Silas -- and we'll be discussing a much-requested topic: why we stopped homeschooling. [16:57] - We never expected to stop homeschooling. In fact, we had always planned to homeschool through high school. Then, we started realizing that Kathrynne needed a change. [17:59] - Kathrynne shares how she felt about her social life and gets really honest about her struggles with social anxiety and awkwardness. [21:29] - We were so excited to find a school that felt like a great fit -- but we were also scared to announce the change to Kathrynne. [23:32] - We expected Kathrynne to not be happy about the news, but we were shocked that she was as upset as she was. We ask Kaitlynn and Silas about their reaction to the news that they were starting school as well. [26:46] - The kids talk about what their first day and first weeks of school were like for them given their homeschool background. [30:52] - We've loved watching our kids really blossom and come alive in unexpected ways the last three years! [37:02] - The kids share the harder aspects of going to school like getting up early and having to be away from home all day.

WDW Radio # 553 - Finding Florida: Why, When, and How Walt Disney World Came to Orlando Join me this week as we board our Walt Disney World Wayback Machine and go way way back... before Walt Disney World. Together, we're going to look at how, when, and why Disney came to Florida, and how it almost wasn't Florida at all. We'll explore the many legends and locations of where the "second Disneyland" was going to be built, including New Jersey and Canada, and the real reasons why they never came to be. We'll then discuss the process of finding Florida, why Orlando might not have been their first choice, and the many factors that led to deciding exactly where the World would be built.

Months after the dreadful attacks of 9/11, Jim DeFede moved to Gander, Newfoundland. There, he discovered deeply kind Canadians had helped thousands of perfect strangers through that fateful day and several days following. Interestingly, less than one year later, DeFede first published this true story in his book "The Day the World Came to Town."

In 1985, the British Antarctic Survey discovered something that shocked scientists around the world: the ozone layer had a hole in it. And the hole was growing very quickly. When they were presented with the problem, politicians and world leaders quickly came up with an international agreement to immediately reduce chlorofluorocarbons released into the atmosphere. It was a success story, and we can learn from it on climate change. In the episode: Atmospheric chemist Dr. Susan Solomon shares her story of leading a team of scientists to Antarctica, scrambling to understand the problem and pretty quickly finding the root cause: a group of chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons that people were releasing into the atmosphere on the other side of the planet. NASA chemist Dr. Anne Douglass explains ozone and and the very serious consequences of living in a world without an ozone layer. She also compares the decisive Montreal Protocol to the very different modern reaction to climate change, where American politicians openly deny the science at the root of a global crisis.
Jonathan Katz talks more about his award-winning book, The Big Truck That Went By: How the World Came to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster. Mr Katz was the only full time U.S. news reporter in Haiti when the quake struck. His on-the-ground reporting for the Associated Press helped inform the world about the scope of the disaster, and he stayed in Haiti in the months that followed to document how and why well-meaning world relief efforts fell short.
Duke Human Rights Center at the Franklin Humanities Institute
The Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and Duke University have named Jonathan Katz’s book "The Big Truck that Went By: How the World Came to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) as the winner of the 2013 WOLA-Duke Human Rights Book Award. On November 6, 2013, Katz did a reading from his book at the FHI Garage at the Smith Warehouse, Bay 4 on Duke's campus. Katz, who currently lives in Durham, NC, was a correspondent for the Associated Press on January 12, 2010, when the deadliest earthquake ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere struck the island nation of Haiti. "The Big Truck that Went By" recounts Katz personal experience when the earthquake hit, and—drawing on his groundbreaking reporting during the period that followed—traces the relief response that poured from the international community and where those efforts went tremendously wrong. Award judge Roger Atwood states that “Katz’s book brings together everything a winner of this award should have: brave and groundbreaking research, lucid writing, freshness in both form and content, and (best of all) genuine policy applications.” Started in 2008, the WOLA-Duke Human Rights Book Award is a joint venture of Duke University and WOLA, a leading advocacy organization based in Washington, DC. The award honors the best current, non-fiction book published in English on human rights, democracy, and social justice in contemporary Latin America. The books are evaluated by a panel of expert judges drawn from academia, journalism, and public policy circles.
