i dare say In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row… When I was in elementary school, this is the time of year when we’d start working on our Remembrance Day poster projects. We’d draw our interpretation of Flanders Fields: white crosses stretched out across the landscape – my first lesson in drawing perspective – surrounded by red poppies swaying in the breeze under a grey or purple or red sky. Never a blue sky, never sunny. Little “m” birds would cross in front of the clouds, and the edges of the page would be trimmed with barbed wire. The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below… We’d memorize John McCrae’s poem, learn the dates and the politics of the world wars, and listen attentively to a local veteran invited to the annual assembly to share his wartime story. Some of us would march with our youth group to the town cenotaph, observe the moment of silence and the mournful notes of “The Last Post” at precisely 11 a.m. on the 11th day of the 11th month. We’d all vow together, “We will remember them.” For all of that, I didn’t really appreciate or understand what these men and women went through – the suffering; the bravery; the fear, hunger, hurt and loss; the love stories; the near misses; being shot, blown up, set adrift – until I began reading their stories in Downhome. So many veterans or their surviving family members, or dedicated researchers, have educated me and other readers over the years, and continue to do so. Thank you all for your service. Thanks for reading,

Three Sheets to the Wind Red Blueberry-Blackberry This full-bodied dry red wine combines the Newfoundland wild blueberry with the grape-like qualities of the Newfoundland wild blackberry in a delightful table wine that pairs well with cheese, steak, wild game, beef and chocolate. Medium
Jellybean Row Strawberry-Partridgberry
The subtle flavour of strawberries present a hint of sweetness that tames but does not diminish the tartness of the Newfoundland partridgeberries. A light-bodied wine that is best served chilled. Semi-Sweet
Krooked Cod Blueberry-Raspberry Only the juiciest and tastiest Newfoundland blueberries and raspberries were picked for this unique sweet-tart wine. These are the fruits of the local hills and wilds, grown in the cool, salty ocean breeze. Take the bait and try it. Don't be a Krooked Cod! Best served chilled or on ice. Medium
Moose Joose Blueberry-Partridgeberry A blend of blueberry and partridgeberry, two of Newfoundland's most popular berries. Full of antioxidants and flavonoids, this wine could be called a health juice - but it contains alcohol, so we'll just say it's berry good for you! Medium-Sweet
www.aukislandwinery.com 1-877-639-4637 Shipping not available to Newfoundland and Labrador and Nunavut. Please visit your local NLC location.
Funky Puffin Blueberry-Rhubarb A blend of Newfoundland and Labrador blueberries and rhubarb creates a wine that is fun, delightful and well balanced. It is a great sipping wine and goes well with cheese and crackers. Semi-Sweet
Frig-Off Strawberry-Raspberry A refreshing strawberryraspberry wine is just what you need. And it makes a delicious way to tell someone else to chill out, or even Frig-Off! Semi-Sweet

For almost a century,
the Spirit of Newfoundland has held aloft a flaming torch of bronze atop Newfoundland and Labrador’s National War Memorial in downtown St. John’s, NL. Through all winds and all weather, she’s stood sentinel over the memory of those who offered their freedom and their lives to the Great War. Her gaze is steady, pointed towards the Narrows, where so many young men sailed away to France to meet their fates for King and Country. For all these years, the War Memorial has served as a place of reflection and a centre of historical and emotional significance to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Recently it’s been undergoing a massive restoration and redesign that includes an incredible element – the addition of a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

THE BOW OF THE CRAFT
carves a tight turn into the flat calm evening waters as I round the bend into aptly named Little Harbour. Drifting past a waterfall cascading into the ocean, I gain steam to bear down on a stately grey-shingled home. The Chart House, originally built circa 1892, stands in delicate defiance on prominent posts in a fashion that still allows the sea to pass harmlessly underneath it, despite the changing times and tides. I spy where the original kitchen window was ensconced and increase my speed, aiming with greater gusto at the location commemorated in local legends. With 10 feet to spare, I weave away to the west and the stand-up paddle board (SUP) glides beyond the building without incident, intrusion or incursion.
