NEW BRUNSWICK From Champlain to Lord: A political history of New Brunswick by Campbell Morrison Times Globe staff writer Ever since Samuel de Champlain made an aborted landing in 1604 on an island in the St. Croix River, New Brunswick politics has featured a fractious parade of aristocrats, rogues, and teetotalers. Almost 200 years later, 1784, is a convenient point to begin. It was the year the British carved New Brunswick out of Nova Scotia and created a new colony demanded by the thousands of Loyalists pouring over the border. For the first lieutenant-governor, the British chose an aristocratic military man who was no friend of democracy. Colonel Thomas Carleton put his military ideals ahead of local interests when he chose St. Anne as the capital. Renaming the remote village Fredericton, Carleton chose the site because it was the furthest navigable spot on the St. John River. He also was obliged to create an elected legislature, but that did not mean he had to listen to it, or so he thought. The first election was held in 1785, a topsy-turvy affair that lacked the order imposed by a party system. Among the elected was James Glenie, a crusty Scottish-born lumberman who had already crossed swords with Col. Carleton. The colony was not yet a year old, and already confrontation loomed.

The Story of Cantin Dionne Mark Dionne Cantin Dionne was born October 31, 1788 at St. Roch des Aulnaies, in Kamouraska County, Quebec, the last of 9 children. His Dionne ancestors had lived in the prosperous farming region along the shores of the St. Lawrence River for over 100 years. When he was 14, his mother Marie Louise Caron died, and two years later, in 1805, his father remarried and moved nearly 200 miles west to the town of Baie du Febvre , along with most of the nine children. Within a few more years his father married again. A Frenchman in a Loyalist Land Around , the young man appeared on the shores of New Brunswick, employed by Robert Pagan at the town of St. Andrews.

He sought refuge in New Brunswick when the (then Massachusetts) legislature declared him an enemy of the United States Sixty years earlier there had been many French people, the Acadians , who came to the New World separately from the French in Quebec, living in what is now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Many were deported by the British and dispersed around the globe, a story that was told by Longfellow in the poem

The World of the Western Fur Trade The Constitutional Act and the Two Canadas Between 1791 and 1815, British North America took on outlines that it would largely carry into the Canadian federal union of 1867. In the West, its fur-trade territories expanded across the continent to the Pacific. In the East, its Atlantic provinces became more integrated communities, moving beyond basic settlement and meeting new tests of war. And in the Centre, Upper and Lower Canada the first overwhelmingly English-speaking, the second predominantly French grew as distinctly different though interrelated provinces, which both faced major invasions during the American War of 1812-14. Still further, the two Canadas acquired a common political system, set out for each of them in the Constitutional Act of 1791. That founding Act provided an imperially-appointed Lieutenant-Governor for each Canada, under a joint Governor-in-Chief, still Lord Dorchester when the measure went into effect. Since Governor Dorchester and his successors normally resided at the fortress in Quebec city, now Lower Canada's capital, the Lieutenant-Governor of that province was sometimes overshadowed. Yet in more distant Upper Canada, the Lieutenant-Governor was in practice all-but "Governor", unless his overlord back at Quebec decided to draw in the reins. An Executive Council, consisting of chief officials and advisors, would work closely with the Lieutenant-Governor in either Canada, to carry on his administration and execute his policies, a small, informal but powerful group, somewhat like a little cabinet of ministers.

National Library News October/November 1996 Vol. 28, no. 10-11 The "New Tremaine": Editing a Landmark in Canadian Bibliography by Patricia Fleming, Professor, Faculty of Information Studies, University of Toronto In his essay on the early years of the Bibliographical Society of Canada recently published in the National Library News , W. Kaye Lamb celebrated the achievement of some of Canada’s founding bibliographers with the prediction that their work is never likely to be superseded (see “Early Days: Personal Reflections on the Founding of the Bibliographical Society of Canada”, National Library News vol. 28, no. 6, June, 1996, pp. 7-8). As one of the successors to Marie Tremaine, I heartily agree. When I first began to study printing in early Canada, the need to continue her research into the nineteenth century was clear. Searching for Ontario and Atlantic imprints, sometimes guided by her citations, I started to accumulate a file of unrecorded or unlocated eighteenth-century printing. Meanwhile, Marie Tremaine’s generous bequest to the Bibliographical Society at her death in 1984 called for a response. The Society established the Tremaine Fellowship in 1987 as one way of sharing her legacy with the scholarly community. Another would be to update and bring back into print her Bibliography of Canadian Imprints, 1751-1800

Arthur, a vestryman of St. Thomas Parish, recorded the births of most of his children on the church registry. Apparently in growing older, he omitted doing this for his last two children, Richard and Ruth. Little is known of Ruth's life. She is mentioned in her father's will. She married Amon Butler, Jr., the son of Amon Butler and Elizabeth Hawkins, and lived, as far as we know, in Baltimore Co., MD. They are reputed to have had 10 children. To date there is scant information on this family, however through recent contacts we have been able to extend some of this to present day descendants. Of the known two daughter lines of Arthur, this is the only one we have family information on. There is still much to be learned. LOCATIONS: Baltimore Co., MD

COMPETITION - WIN a CD Stephen GRAZIANO and Nick GLENIE SMITH Highlander Endgame OST GNP CRESCENDO GNPD 8067 Amazon UK Amazon USA Highlander Endgame is the fourth film in the Highlander series, but like Star Trek: Generations , is also a 'hand-over' feature, serving to introduce characters from a spin off TV series to the silver screen. Thus the Christopher Lambert's Connor MacLeod shares his final feature adventure with the small screen's Duncan MacLoed, played by Adrian Paul. The film has met with generally miserable reviews from uninvolved critics, and a fair degree of praise from fans, who seem to generally regard it as vastly superior to the second and third films, and possibly on a par with the original. Even so, everyone agrees that the screenwriters have been unable to resolve the many contradictions in the sprawling story-line. By its very nature, Highlander rambles, a labyrinthine narrative of immortals across centuries and continents. Perhaps it is therefore inevitable that this soundtrack album should prove a somewhat diverse beast, mixing everything from elements of Scottish folk music to orchestral passages (which are probably samples), electronic atmospherics, instrumental rock and 'dance'. I would imagine it works well enough with the film, but it makes for a very uneven album and I doubt there is a human being on the planet who will enjoy listening to all of it.

Lest We Forget by Jim Kalafus and Mike Poirier This May marks the 90 th Lusitania off the coast of Ireland with the loss of 1198 lives.  While she lived, Lusitania Hunnish brutality ” or “ English duplicity ” depending upon which side of the fence one stood, and, more recently, of intrigue, conspiracy and governmental wrongdoing.  The human element of this most horrible of events has been largely overshadowed, and to commemorate the anniversary we are offering a selection of favorite, lesser known, human interest stories of May 7, 1915. Some have happy endings, others are relentlessly bleak, and most fall somewhere in the middle: one passenger who lost her entire family recovered, remarried, and lived well into the 1970s; another was so devastated by his experience on the Lusitania that he had a series of breakdowns, spent the better part of a decade drifting, and died in early middle age.  There is one mother who entrusted her child to a stranger with terrible results, and another who was forced to watch as her 2 year old faded away and died on a debris raft while awaiting rescue. There is a family who set out to claim a large inheritance, and a family who were returning to England in despair; neither family survived intact. There are some that lived long, full lives after the disaster, and there are several young male survivors who did not outlive 1918. With two exceptions, all of the Lusitania biographies have now reached their conclusions, but it is our sincere hope to keep as many of the stories alive as possible. It is also our sincere hope that the stories in this first installation prove to be as interesting to the casual reader as they did to us.
