The Trail of the Frog
Yesterday I did something I haven’t done since 2016 and that was walk a trail at the Irving Nature Park. Over the past few years, I would drive there and sit and watch movies, but never actually walked a trail. Even before now the Sheldon’s Point Loop was the only trail I had completed. Like most trips, it started by going to my favourite parking lot and watching a movie. I was watching the Showtime documentary Belushi on the Crave TV app. It is an amazingly good telling of the life of the legendary comedian John Belushi.

Deaf Difficulties (one of two: General Difficulties)
This was written in the early 2000’s this segment was recorded over and I no longer have the video. It originally aired on Rogers Television on a news program called Focus NB. Lead: There are many disabilities faced by New Brunswickers. One of the most noticeable is cultural deafness. Our Reporter Charles Frees-Melvin brings us the difficulties faced by the Deaf in day-to-day life. Stand-up: Deafness is a condition faced by several hundred residents in this province. Many people are unaware of some of the difficulties faced by these people. Gerald Frazee stressed that the biggest concern is the need of interpreters to be present. Gerald: (48:47-48:59) 12 sec “Culturally I am deaf and a lot of what goes on in the world I perceive with my eyes, so probably the biggest concern for me would to make sure interpreters are present” VO: Mr. Frazee can’t stress enough the troubles…
