Newspaper Articles From 1930s?

I don’t know if there’s any librarians in the group, but I’m a NB author doing research for a novel (mystery) and was wondering where I might be able to find news articles from 1930 and from the late 1980s, if it’s possible.

Also, what format would they be in? Has everything been digitized?

Any help would be great. I’m not able to get to my local library for a week or so, which is why I’m asking vs going in.

Thanks!

King’s Landing advice?

I’ve been advised:

“It’s better for older kids, like 10-12, it’s not super little kid friendly. There are no playgrounds and little touch based activities. It’s more like a walking museum, no touching, little talking and much walking around in the heat and listening to someone talking about facts about of the past. Not saying unenjoyable but definitely think a little age a maturity can go a long way for that particular activity.”

Anyone else have opinion for visiting with a 7 & 9 year old?

You’ve gotta check out this young man…

This was one of his first performances ever in front of an audience, and he blew the roof off the place. We added him to our Summer Nights festival on Saturday, Jul 25 at the Holy Whale Beer hall in Riverview. You’ll want to keep your eye on Donovan.

Codiac Transpo, you can't get the student discount unless you’re attending a local post-secondary education? So Mount A, nope. UNB, nope. NBCC not from Moncton campus should be nope

You would think they would mention that on one of these websites that if you want the student discount, you need to be attending a school in the Moncton area, even if your government ID is Moncton. Apparently, working students who don’t attend local post-secondary education should pay full price to get to work student jobs or travel within Moncton. If you attend one of these and have successfully gotten the discount, please let me know so I can make my letters to city hall know that it must have been personal then.

Does anyone else find Baxters coffee cream is tasting "off"?

Somehow less creamy. It leaves a strange film at the top of my mug. I switched back to Northumberland and noticed a big improvement

I knew it. This new virtual care is going to be a sh*t show

Looks like this new healthcare is just re-packaged 811, in my opinion.

You answer a couple of questions online and this automated system tells you whether you can get an appointment or not. Otherwise, they instruct you to "see a provider" or go to walk-in, which is useless if you don't have a provider or a walk-in.

Need blood work or refills? Have to call 811 instead and, as the person running the government FB page told me, "they'll decide whether a virtual appointment is the best option." Excuse me?? For some of us it's the only option!! I'm not waiting in the ER for 12 hours to get bloodwork or refill my script.

I feel like they're just trying to cut corners and save money, and they'll be scheduling as few virtual appointments as possible. Everyone else will be redirected.

Edit: at what point do people get pissed enough to protest?

Edit 2: I messed around with their required symptom checker to see which symptoms would warrant a virtual appointment. Cough? Go to walk in or PC. Stomach ache? Walk-in or PC. Occasional heart palpitations? Walk-in or PC. Sinus pressure? Congrats! You can book an appointment!

Edit 3: per comments on the government FB page, at least one person has been told they need to go to a clinic for their prescription renewal.

Electricians Strike

I stopped to talk to the electricians on strike today downtown Fredericton. Great group of people who were happy to talk to me, I was under the impression that electricians were the highest paid trade on construction sites but they told me that for the last several years they’ve been the lowest after going multiple years with no contract, and now their contractors association is telling them that that’s in the past and they’re not willing to give raises to make up the difference. Highly recommend stopping in, I brought them some cold Gatorade and they were incredible greatful! They informed me they have sites closed in Miramichi and Bathurst as well, along with another union being on strike in Moncton.

The toilet paper experiment; a.k.a. why you can’t have a fire today

The Toilet Paper Experiment

I’ve noticed that a lot of people on Facebook seem to be very upset about the burn ban on the east coast of New Brunswick. I can definitely understand your frustration because you’ve noticed that it rained for several days before the burn ban was announced. On the surface, that doesn’t seem to make much sense.

So, to help explain, let’s do a little scientific experiment about evaporation.

Grab a roll of toilet paper from the cupboard. Place it on its side on a heat-safe countertop or tray, then drizzle it with water until it’s damp. Next, grab a hair dryer or heat gun and blow it toward the loose end of the toilet paper roll, where you would normally tear off a sheet. Keep blowing until the end of the roll starts to flutter.

What you’ll notice is that the outer layer is drying faster than moisture from deeper inside the roll can work its way back to the surface.

Now, the last part of the experiment you shouldn’t do because there’s a burn ban. Do not test its burnability with a lighter. Trust me - it will burn.

That, my friends, is why an area that should be soaked to the bone after several days of rain can still require a burn ban. The top layer of leaves, pine needles, and other fine fuels can evaporate and dry out faster than moisture from underneath can re-saturate the surface because of wind, high heat, and low humidity

Hope that helps with the frustration.

You’re welcome.

Donate Blood This Summer ☀️

If you're looking for something meaningful to do this summer, consider donating blood. While summer vacations and long weekends often lead to fewer appointments booked, the need for blood remains constant for patients in need.
