Issues in the News
This is a spinoff of my monthly column in Lifestyles, and I have an interesting lineup for you. Listen to the show with Dr. Hélène Bertrand who talks about how to deal with lower back pain. Dr. Bertrand’s show will also appear in audio on our podcast channel, because she shows the exercise technique that can be used to resolve 90% of the backpain issues we have.
Also coming up is Dr. Barry Prentice of the University of Manitoba and founder of ISO Polar Airships, who has worked to bring Airships to the Arctic for the past 30 years. He will bring us up to date on where this plan is and how it will benefit Manitoba and the world.
An interview with Doug Cook, the owner of the pirate ship on Wilkes and an investor in Urban Lumber, the clever company that is salvaging diseased elm from our city streets and turning it into beautiful custom furniture, promises to be interesting and inspiring.
Marshall Murdock, a member of the Fisher Lake Cree Nation, will tell us how he left the reserve to become a barber and ended up as a banker and now a member of the Board of the Northern Transportation corridor, Neestanan.
Former transportation minister, Doyle Piwniuk, will also explain why supporting the transportation infrastructure is so important to our province and its future. More to come in the months ahead as we explore the exciting world of issues and accomplishments of our older generation.
The Gardener
The Gardener is back with a whole new lineup of shows. Your old friend Kevin Twomey is never far from the mic when it comes to gardening, and we have a new show with the ever-effervescent Shea Doherty who loves his plants as though they were babies. Backyard birder, Sherry Versluis gives us timely advice on what to feed our feathered friends, while Jan Pedersen talks shrubs and more.
We will be speaking with gardener and chef, Ian Leatt, about how he planned his recently published cookbook around the seasons and the herbs that are available as the months pass. Ian is a monthly contributor to Lifestyles.
