Fri Mar 19 Beth Powning in Lorenzo Reading
Series 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. Ganong Hall Lecture Theatre, UNB Saint John The
final author in this season's Lorenzo Reading Series is New Brunswick's own
Beth Powning, reading from her new novel, The Sea Captain’s Wife. The
setting: Whelan's Cove, New Brunswick, and the wider world. The time: The
1860's - with the sun setting on the great "Age of Sail". The protagonist of
the title is Azuba Bradstock, young wife to Captain Nathaniel Bradstock. After
breaking his initial promise to take her with him on his journeys aboard the
vessel Traveller, Nathaniel finally capitulates after an indiscretion committed
during one of his long absences renders his wife untrustworthy in his eyes.
From here, the novel recounts their sometimes harrowing journeys aboard ship.
Crossing the Atlantic, sailing around Cape Horn and into the Pacific, Azuba
learns first-hand of the dangers and the beauty of the world, and she rises to
the occasion. Described by the National Post as “an elegant piece of
writing”, and by the Globe & Mail as “one terrific voyage”,
The Sea Captain’s Wife is bracing, insightful storytelling. Photographer
and writer Beth Powning is the author of three acclaimed works of non-fiction
– Seeds of Another Summer, Shadow Child, and Edge Seasons – as well
as a previous novel, The Hatbox Letters, called "a stunning debut" by The Globe
& Mail. The Sea Captain’s Wife is her second novel. The reading takes
place in Ganong Hall Lecture Theatre, on Friday, March 19 at 7 pm. Admission is
free, and all are welcome. For more information, contact The University
Bookstore 648-5540 or Inprint Bookstore 648-2315 or email sjbooks@unbsj.ca

Sun Mar 21 PIRATE
DAVE IS LOOKING FOR A CREW. 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM. Brundage Point River Centre:
Grand Bay-Westfield A Children’s Pirate Event! Spring has sprung and
Pirate Dave is looking for a motley Crew!! Pirate Dave Goss, in cooperation
with the Town of Grand Bay Westfield’s Tourism Committee, will be looking
for a few good swabs to serve on his pirate ship, the Merry Christmas. He will
explain all the benefits of being a pirate and is looking for mates with good
balance, that can follow orders, can read and write, knows their left from
their right and who is not squeamish about foods crawling with worms. So he has
a few tests he will conduct as he explains the life of a pirate using stories,
songs, stunts, and poems that all good pirates should know. Then the lads and
lassies can decide for themselves if they want to be signed with “The
Stamp of Pirate Dave” and become members of the crew Forever!… Pirate
Dave comes in costume, and potential pirates are encouraged to come in costume
as well. Pirates lived a tough life and the combination of the stories and the
costume makes the event best suited for children eight years of age and older,
but families can decide for themselves if a younger child should be exposed to
likes of Pirate Dave. It is good clean fun, but he does talk about the places
he’s been and the things he’s seen, and his yarns of swashbuckling
can be awfully scary! A sampling of pirate food and drink will be served
following the presentation for those who can stomach it! Please register by 12

Fri Mar 26 BENEFIT
AUCTION 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM. FISH AND BREW PUB Isaac Larson is a six and
half year old little boy that has recently been diagnosed with Juvenile
Myelomonocytic Leukemia or JMML. JMML is a rare form of leukemia that affects
only 1-2% of all children cancer patients in North America, generally before
the age of six years old. As is the case for all JMML patients, Isaac will
require a bone marrow transplant that can only be done at the Hospital for Sick
Children in Toronto as standard chemotherapy, regardless of the intensity, has
proven effective to only a small number of patients and without treatment the
disease progresses rapidly. Currently he is undergoing aggressive chemotherapy
at the IWK Children's Hospital in Halifax in hopes that he will go in to
remission and that they will find him a match. However, once the surgery is
complete Isaac still must remain in Toronto for some time in order to allow his
bone marrow time to rebuild. To help his family with the costs (food, travel,
accommodations) that are and will continue to incur during his illness we have
decided to hold a benefit auction in Isaac's honor at the Fish and Brew Pub on
Friday March 26th at 7:00 pm. we hope the auction will help the Larson family
during a very difficult time. Contact: (506)657-3205
