SOS4000 Cornerbrook NL Oct 8 2007 STUDENT TORCH CHAMPIONS Alexandra Joelle Arruda, Sasha Nicole Fisher, Tansey Patricia Summers-Lubar. ROGERS TV @ SCHOOL Over 100 Students from 100 cities/towns are relaying the Torch of Life across Canada to promote organ & tissue donations. As the Road Team makes their way to Cornerbrook they spot a very large moose George's diary to Ontario LT Gov David Onley September 29 2007 The ferry was rescheduled to depart in the afternoon, this was bad because I would loose almost 2 days of arrival in St. Johns NL. The captain of the ferry was notified of our presence and he kindly gave us a royal tour of the ship. (I attached pictures). The captain warned us not to travel at night when we docked in Newfoundland because this was moose season and they were notorious to wander on the highways at dusk and dawn. Usually when you hit a moose, it is very fatal to drivers, unless you are traveling with a big rig that is reinforced at the front. The plan was to drive that night behind a rig. As we were approaching Cornerbrook, on a dark highway, ahead of us was a lot of lights. Every instinct told me that a moose was hit, so I prayed no one was hurt. We pulled off to the shoulder to see if we can help. I brought my camcorder with me as a habit. Thank god no one was hurt, although there was a huge moose on the side of the road, bloated and dead. The truck that hit it was reinforced and still his whole front was smashed in. I started recording and asked the trucker if I could interview him. I told what we were doing and mentioned that we are also putting together a film documentary on our voyage. He was a Newfoundlander and as most Newfoundlander I met he was `more than glad to oblige. I got footage that night and we when I got back to the hotel, I couldnt wait to play it back. What a disappointment I faced, the disc got corrupted, up to this day, I am grieving over this. October 6, 2007, Grand Falls/Windsor Cornerbrook NL Today was another Pro Bono day and email day. I take every opportunity that I can to work on the future events with the internet. On our way to Cornerbrook, I fell asleep during the ride and woke up to loud noise. Lou was yelling Moose, Moose. A gigantic moose was on the road and made its way to the side. I do not know exactly why, but my first instinct was to film this. Maybe because I was still grieving that I lost the earlier footage. Anyways I grabbed my video camera and jumped out of the car. I heard the roar of big coming and then all of a sudden the moose was gone. I was not sure whether I was successful in my filming. I got back in the car and reviewed the footage and there it was, a big beautiful moose in my camera. I am not sure what this has to do with our mission to save lives, but boy did I feel good. We arrived at Marble Mountain Resort where our accommodation were arranged. This area was almost as breathtaking as Whistler and Banff. This day was going to good and I knew another bump was ahead of us. Sure enough I find out that we have very limited internet and I had planned to a lot of work that weekend. Oh well, the lack of work gave me an excuse to enjoy the beauty around me. October 7 & 8 2007, Cornerbrook NL These 2 days we tried to take nature in. Kris and Lou needed the rest as well, because we were moving at hectic pace for almost 2 weeks. We met with the Cornerbrook Torch Chaampions, 3 of them Tansey Lubar, Sasha Fisher & Alexandra Arruda the night before the event. October 9, 2007, Cornerbrook- Ferry to North Sydney Today was event day. The Students ran from Marble Mountain to their school. We spent the entire afternoon with the students after they arrived a great reception at Cornerbrook High School. That evening we drove to Channel Port Aux Bsques to catch the late evening ferry to North Sydney. We were supposed to do an event in Port Aux Basques on October 10, but they cancelled out and I had to make some new major plans.
