Newfoundland cheese
You can head to the supermarket and get cheeses from all over the world... but we talk with a business-owner in St. John's who's decided there should be Newfoundland cheese. (John Furlong with Adam Blanchard):
Dr. Mekawy complaint hearing
We've been looking into the case of a St. John's doctor who lost his licence to practise in the U.S. in 2007... and who will be before a medical board hearing in St. John's today. (John Furlong with Mark Quinn):
RCMP highway truck inspections
Be it due to bad brakes and other defects... one in five commercial trucks inspected on our highways weren't safe enough to be on the road. We talk to an officer with RCMP Traffic Services in Grand Falls-Windsor about what he's seeing. (John Furlong with constable Jerry Goudie):
Hants Harbour playground challenge
We speak with a teenager in Hants Harbour who's attempting to preserve a future for young people in her community by participating in a corporate challenge... and she needs your help! (John Furlong with Samantha Ash):
