One of the things near the top of my "Reasons to Retire" list last Fall was freeing up some time to be more involved with Goderich Little Theatre.People in the arts are my people: Weird, wonderful, creative, sometimes insecure, sometimes so full of themselves they need to be taken down a notch but always the people that at least for me, make life worth living.I’m full of happy adrenaline today to be chatting with two of those people! We set out to promote the latest show for Goderich Little theatre

We're excited this week to welcome David Yates back to the studio for a quick chat about his new book, “Challenge & Change in Huron: The People and Events that Made Us, 1890-1919.” which in my humble opinion is a must read for these precarious times we live in. Returning to a time when Canadians were undergoing great technical change, threats of war and challenges to our sovereignty, David tells us a few quick stories from the book and shares details on the book launch coming soon to the

This week, a 5 minute interview for my Saturday morning Shoreline Classics radio show, turned into a 1/2 hr podcast.I’d seen a whole bunch a stuff on social media about things the Goderich Kinette’s were involved with and thought having someone over to the studio to chat about a few of those things would be a good idea.Enter, Patti Lamb, who I discovered grew up down the street from me in Goderich.We did finally get around to talking about Kinette stuff and there are some really great community

I think a lot of us, maybe most of us think of Hospice as the saddest of places but our guests today say it's a whole lot more than that. It's also a place to live, make memories and maybe even experience a little joy.Manager, Fund Development Christopher Walker and Hospice Nurse Lindsay Nuhn are with us to shed a little light on all of that. We'll talk about the ups and downs, self care in an emotionally taxing job and a story or two about some of the kinds of things that can happen at

2025/03/24

My favourite thing about the podcast is when we have the chance to get to know people better and make new friends as a result of it. It happened again this week as we dug in a little with Steve & Mary from Steve & Mary’s OTS in Goderich. It’s a place I’ve eaten often and I love the casual, comfort food environment and the overall vibe which is just so welcoming. Where they grew up, childhood dreams, how they met and how they ended up owning a restaurant in the prettiest town in Canada. We’ll

We have on occasion asked you for suggestions on things you would like to celebrate and/or learn a little more about in our area and today is one of those situations.A few months ago we were told about a family who had emigrated to Canada several years ago but a few years ago came to Goderich to own and operate The 'legendary' Maple Leaf Motel.We are a country of great diversity and I think it’s one of the things that makes Canada the best country on the planet to live, work and raise a family and

Do you remember going to the Library as a kid and getting shushed 50 times for goofing around, then finding a book you wanted and taking to the librarian who would stamp the card in the back with the date you had to bring it back by … and if you were me you always brought it back late and had to pay a 10 cent fine? Was that just me?Well … a few things may have changed since those days. Huron County Librarian and Branch Manager Danielle Bettridge is here this episode to bring us up to speed on what’s

We have some amazing service clubs in Huron County and one of my favourites is Goderich Rotary. Initially, I thought this chat would be mostly about their annual Chili Cook-Off but I was quickly reminded of how many things this amazing group does, including: an annual golf tourney, an exchange student program, the famous hot dog wagon, the shred it event, Rotary Cove and the Beach Hut and of course the cook-off which I'm excited to be taking part in again this year.Past president Rosemary Davis

2025/01/20

I was scanning through some local news lately and I saw an old high school friend of mine was getting a little well deserved attention for retiring after a 45 year career, taking care of people as a nurse at AMGH in Goderich. Personally, I can’t think of a tougher job and yet, the accolades simply reminded me of a lovely human being I used to know and her future husband Paul, just a couple of really great people. I’m happy to say we have Goderich native Wilma Duckworth with us today to talk

You might remember a couple of months ago when I said goodbye to my radio career in Wingham, I mentioned that I'd left a few doors open. Never say never I thought. Were my intentions to retire? Well, yes but I was also aware that I love doing radio and if I had a chance again someday, I might take it. I didn't think anyone would knock quite so quickly though. It was Nick Cadotte, manager of Shoreline Classics offering me a perfect opportunity to slow down a little without actually having to give up
