WAM May 28-29 Stuart McLaughlin
Stuart McLaughlin is Chief Executive of Business to Arts, Developing Creative Partnerships. He’s based in Dublin and has been working the field between the two camps since 2007. And he puts his money … or your money … where his mouth is. In 2009, he was Ireland’s Fundraiser of the Year.
Stuart McLaughlin was in St. John’s this week to speak at a Roundtable discussion for the Business and Arts Initiative, local group that believes artists need support from business just as business needs creative people to compete in today’s economy.
I spoke with Stuart earlier this week. I asked him how you can make business and art meet and help each other.

WAM May 28-29 Kyran Pittman
Kyran Pittman is the daughter of legendary Newfoundland poet Al Pittman. Now Kyran is becoming legendary in her own right.
Her internet blogging caught the interest of Good Housekeeping magazine several years ago and she’s been a contributing editor there ever since.
Now, Kyran has entered the world of memoirs … memoirdom, you might call it.
Planting Dandelions - Field Notes from a Semi-Domesticated Life a memoir is her take on life, love, children, leaving, staying and just plain being.
I caught up with Kyran when she was in Toronto last week touring in support of the book. Here’s our conversation.

WAM May 28-29 John Ralston Saul
Many people consider John Ralston Saul as one of the pre-eminent thinkers in the country. And it’s not just Canadians who think that way - Time magazine calls him a prophet, and the Utne Reader declared him one of the top 100 leading visionaries in the world.
Memorial University took note of this, I’m sure, and this week presented Saul with an honorary doctorate of letters at its spring convocation. They say he is “a writer and thinker unbounded by the restrictions of discipline or doctrine,” and that “John Ralston Saul has given Canadians the opportunity to rethink their identities.”
I took the opportunity of his visit to the province to speak with John Ralston Saul about one of his recent activities, he serves as series editor for the Penguin collection of biographies of Extraordinary Canadians.
But first I asked John Ralston Saul how it felt to be granted an honorary doctorate from Memorial.

May 21-22 Elizabeth Park Elementary School Song
Elizabeth Park Elementary School in Paradise is a brand new school, but it already has some history, and a school song!
When their old school in Paradise was closed because of mold issues, the students all moved to the School for the Deaf building while they awaited the completion of their new digs. They’d been there since last September, but this February moved into their new location.
Teacher Donna Howse Winsor decided a new school needed a school song. She canvassed the children for ideas, her husband put them into lyrics, and noted composer Clifford Crawley was commissioned to create the melody.
This week, with the assistance of music teacher Louise Collins, Brian Way on piano, Kelly Ann Evans as guest vocalist and Rich Blenkinsopp at the recording console of Petro-Canada Hall in Memorial University’s School of Music, a choir of grade 4 and 5 singers recorded the Elizabeth Park Elementary School Song. And I was there!
I spoke with a half-dozen of the choristers before they went in to the recording session.

WAM May 21-22 Robert Parsons
Newfoundland and Labrador boast thousands of miles of gorgeous coastline. But all that beauty hides a great deal of danger. Ask anybody who’s ventured out onto the sea.
Writer Robert Parsons has chronicled many of the disasters that have befallen sailors and ships in his twenty-plus books. Robert’s latest book focuses on one section of shores, that part along Cape Race. I spoke with Robert earlier this week.

WAM May 21-22 Thomas Curran
Murder most foul, langurous free-spirited women, a green MG, shadowy political intrigue and post-World War II St. John’s all tangle up in the latest Inspector Eric Stride mystery, Death of a Lesser Man.
Thomas Rendell Curran created Eric Stride and placed him in our capital city. Tom has been slightly surprised by the interest readers have shown in Stride, but happily surprised.
I spoke with Tom from his Ottawa home earlier this week.

WAM May 21-22 Don Downer
Don Downer, a marine biologist, worked for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, taught biology at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, served as a school principal and through his many years in classrooms developed a deep desire to encourage young people to understand and appreciate the world around them. Especially the animals and fishes of the North Atlantic.
Upon retirement, Don set out to write books for young readers that would both entertain and inform. Three of those books have just been released by Cape Breton University Press.
Selby the Lobster, originally published in 1999, is joined by Schnider’s World, A Harp Seal Story, and Selina, an Atlantic Salmon.
Don is in Norris Point this morning, he’s taking part in the Trails, Tales and Tunes Festival. Good morning, Don. Congratulations … it’s not many authors who drop three books onto the shelves all at once.

Mack Furlong invites you to create a Cross-Country Book Shelf. Imagine you have friends visiting Newfoundland and Labrador this summer. Along with the sun screen, they should pack 5 books as “must reads,” books that will tell them about this place and what they might find here.

Plus Thomas Randell Curran on the third installment of the Inspector Stride series - Death of A Lesser Man. And the Elizabeth Park Elementary School Song. Liner Notes guest is Shawn Beresford.
If you can’t join Mack from 6:00 to 9:30 on Saturday and Sunday - 5:30 to 9:00 in parts of Labrador - then collect the podcasts from cbc.ca/wam. Or chase CBCWam on Twitter.

Dean Burry - The Brothers Grimm 10th Anniversary
Ten years ago, Gander native Dean Burry wrote The Brothers Grimm. His then-brand new opera for children was hitting the road to tour schools throughout Ontario as a production of the prestigious Canadian Opera Company. So, a decade later, what’s Dean Burry up to? I contacted Dean in Toronto and asked him what The Brothers Grimm meant to him and his career. Dean Burry’s newest touring opera, Le Nay de la Sorciere, is touring Newfoundland right now with the MUN School of Music Opera road company. Be on the lookout for Dean’s new musical play Beacon of Light, onstage at Trinity with Rising Tide Theatre this summer before moving to Gander for the anniversary of 9/11.
