1
00:00:01,104 --> 00:00:03,354
It's like death came
knocking on Berwick's door
2
00:00:03,486 --> 00:00:05,966
but everybody was too busy
with weird stuff to answer
3
00:00:06,144 --> 00:00:08,254
[laughter]
4
00:00:08,387 --> 00:00:10,937
That's his penis
5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,940
He's a really good
young weiner
6
00:00:13,082 --> 00:00:15,022
That thing is lethal.
7
00:00:15,153 --> 00:00:20,403
Once you go alpaca you
never go backa
8
00:00:20,537 --> 00:00:23,017
When you grow up in small
town in Newfoundland;
9
00:00:23,161 --> 00:00:25,061
you see the
people have a sense of
10
00:00:25,197 --> 00:00:27,097
humour about hard times.
Check Check
11
00:00:27,234 --> 00:00:29,204
I turned that into a career
and hit the road.
12
00:00:29,339 --> 00:00:31,579
Mr. Jonny Harris!
13
00:00:31,721 --> 00:00:33,651
Now I'm on a mission; to
find the funny in places
14
00:00:33,792 --> 00:00:37,212
you'd least expect it,
Canada's struggling small towns.
15
00:00:37,347 --> 00:00:40,107
Towns that are against the
ropes but hanging in there.
16
00:00:40,247 --> 00:00:42,897
Still laughing in the
face of adversity.
17
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:45,493
The welcoming committee
for Berwick, Nova Scotia.
18
00:00:45,631 --> 00:00:47,561
Phew!
19
00:00:59,473 --> 00:01:01,163
Here we are in Berwick,
Nova Scotia,
20
00:01:01,302 --> 00:01:02,752
the apple capital of Canada.
21
00:01:02,890 --> 00:01:05,890
[applause]
22
00:01:06,031 --> 00:01:08,071
The only town left where
the apple store
23
00:01:08,206 --> 00:01:10,996
sells actual apples.
24
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:14,280
[laughter]
25
00:01:14,453 --> 00:01:16,943
You know the apple really
is a symbol from whence
26
00:01:17,111 --> 00:01:18,391
the town came.
27
00:01:18,526 --> 00:01:21,006
They're on every street
sign, we have beautiful
28
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:22,880
new bike racks all
throughout the town.
29
00:01:23,013 --> 00:01:24,363
Well you got one right
there on your shirt.
30
00:01:24,498 --> 00:01:26,018
I wear apple
jewelry every day.
31
00:01:26,155 --> 00:01:28,705
Yeah got to meet a lot
of great people while
32
00:01:28,847 --> 00:01:30,087
I've been here.
33
00:01:30,228 --> 00:01:31,948
Julie Glasser
and Carol Boylon.
34
00:01:32,126 --> 00:01:34,506
[applause]
35
00:01:34,646 --> 00:01:36,166
Before the second world
war it was discovered they
36
00:01:36,303 --> 00:01:38,753
could actually grow apples
of a variety that had a
37
00:01:38,891 --> 00:01:42,211
long storage because of
the quality of the soil.
38
00:01:42,343 --> 00:01:44,833
This really was the centre
of fruit production.
39
00:01:45,001 --> 00:01:47,251
That must have been a
hotly debated topic at
40
00:01:47,383 --> 00:01:49,523
town hall here, what kind of
apple is going to go up here.
41
00:01:51,007 --> 00:01:54,107
Well I'm not driving
past a spartan every day
42
00:01:54,217 --> 00:01:56,357
especially when a
macintosh has got
43
00:01:56,495 --> 00:01:58,975
a sweeter juice and
a tastier pulp.
44
00:01:59,153 --> 00:02:01,643
A tastier pulp
are you kidding?
45
00:02:01,776 --> 00:02:04,706
I'll take an empire's
pulp over a mac any day!
46
00:02:04,848 --> 00:02:07,538
Listen the portland has
the crispiest-
47
00:02:07,713 --> 00:02:09,473
Order, order, order!
48
00:02:09,612 --> 00:02:13,272
[laughter]
49
00:02:13,409 --> 00:02:15,649
Is the apple business
still a viable one now?
50
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:17,100
Not so much.
51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,720
Times have
certainly changed.
52
00:02:18,862 --> 00:02:20,622
Berwick really blossomed
until the war when
53
00:02:20,761 --> 00:02:22,111
Britain, its main customer,
54
00:02:22,245 --> 00:02:23,825
banned fruit imports.
55
00:02:23,971 --> 00:02:26,281
Since then one local
industry after another
56
00:02:26,422 --> 00:02:28,492
began falling
by the way side.
57
00:02:28,631 --> 00:02:30,741
This town it's got
something that other
58
00:02:30,874 --> 00:02:32,704
places don't, when
times are tough here,
59
00:02:32,842 --> 00:02:34,842
people stay and they
make it work.
60
00:02:34,982 --> 00:02:37,162
Julie Glasser told me
she was driving through
61
00:02:37,295 --> 00:02:39,945
Berwick and she just had
a feeling in her gut that
62
00:02:40,125 --> 00:02:41,985
she would end up living
here one day and I can
63
00:02:42,127 --> 00:02:44,677
relate to that cause I got
a feeling in my gut that
64
00:02:44,819 --> 00:02:47,309
I'm going to get drunk
in Berwick tonight.
65
00:02:47,443 --> 00:02:52,933
[laughter]
66
00:02:53,103 --> 00:02:54,243
I'll never leave
Berwick, I love it.
67
00:02:54,381 --> 00:02:55,691
This is where I'm
going to be forever.
68
00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:58,320
It means
everything to me.
69
00:02:59,696 --> 00:03:03,386
Carol's love for
Berwick holy crapple.
70
00:03:03,528 --> 00:03:06,358
We got a bag of apples
here for you, every man in
71
00:03:06,531 --> 00:03:08,811
Berwick eats 20 pounds
of apples a week.
72
00:03:08,947 --> 00:03:10,427
You can do it come on.
73
00:03:10,569 --> 00:03:12,919
I will eat all of these
apples then I will
74
00:03:13,054 --> 00:03:15,334
probably vomit but
I will eat them.
75
00:03:20,476 --> 00:03:22,306
I got a first good look at
the town with Rod Reeves here.
76
00:03:22,443 --> 00:03:25,763
Former radio announcer
that's been in the car
77
00:03:25,895 --> 00:03:28,095
business for about
12 years now.
78
00:03:28,242 --> 00:03:31,522
I was like god man this
town is really in trouble,
79
00:03:31,659 --> 00:03:35,529
the car salesman
doesn't have a car.
80
00:03:35,663 --> 00:03:38,603
[laughter]
81
00:03:38,735 --> 00:03:41,425
My dad worked at the
Larsis plant for 35 years.
82
00:03:41,566 --> 00:03:43,146
It closed down.
83
00:03:43,292 --> 00:03:45,052
There are stories of loss
in this town for sure.
84
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:48,155
A bunch of local farmers
started this chicken
85
00:03:48,297 --> 00:03:50,087
processing plant back up.
86
00:03:50,264 --> 00:03:52,614
Reinvented it and now it's
another vibrant business.
87
00:03:52,749 --> 00:03:55,239
But it turns out local
entrepreneurship is giving
88
00:03:55,407 --> 00:03:57,337
Berwick a happy ending.
89
00:03:57,478 --> 00:03:59,448
The driftwood restaurant
was actually our town's
90
00:03:59,584 --> 00:04:00,934
old fire department.
91
00:04:01,068 --> 00:04:02,788
What used to be the
former police station
92
00:04:02,932 --> 00:04:04,112
is now a coffee shop.
93
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:05,524
Is now a coffee shop?
94
00:04:05,659 --> 00:04:06,759
Although the biggest
difference?
95
00:04:06,901 --> 00:04:08,631
More cops there now.
96
00:04:08,765 --> 00:04:11,765
[laughter]
97
00:04:11,906 --> 00:04:14,246
This town over the years
has been knocked on its
98
00:04:14,357 --> 00:04:16,807
knees many many times
and keeps bouncing back.
99
00:04:16,946 --> 00:04:18,836
We're all very
proud of that.
100
00:04:19,017 --> 00:04:20,977
A lot of like businesses
spaces, buildings don't go
101
00:04:21,122 --> 00:04:23,852
empty for very long when
usually when someone moves out,
102
00:04:24,022 --> 00:04:26,092
somebody else puts
a business in there and
103
00:04:26,231 --> 00:04:27,681
they're up and
going again.
104
00:04:27,853 --> 00:04:30,173
And often that somebody
is named Harley.
105
00:04:30,304 --> 00:04:31,934
Here is Bargain Harley's.
-Okay
106
00:04:32,064 --> 00:04:33,894
Two people you need
to talk to are
107
00:04:34,032 --> 00:04:35,412
George and Harley Moody.
108
00:04:35,551 --> 00:04:37,731
Harley is kind of like the
godfather of this town.
109
00:04:37,863 --> 00:04:39,833
Now I'm anxious
about meeting him.
110
00:04:39,969 --> 00:04:42,279
Bargain Harley's is one
of a number of thriving
111
00:04:42,385 --> 00:04:44,345
new businesses the
brothers have built in a
112
00:04:44,525 --> 00:04:46,245
shell of a dead one.
113
00:04:46,389 --> 00:04:47,939
It's just utter randomness,
114
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,880
it's like the internet
threw up in here.
115
00:04:50,048 --> 00:04:52,978
It was actually George who
took me around the store.
116
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,300
I was very impressed by
Bargain Harley's;
117
00:04:55,433 --> 00:04:58,473
where else can you go to buy
a motivational posters,
118
00:04:58,608 --> 00:05:00,198
cutlery and a
horse thermometer?
119
00:05:02,716 --> 00:05:03,986
We got hunting knives
Jonny in case you
120
00:05:04,131 --> 00:05:05,551
want to go hunting.
121
00:05:05,684 --> 00:05:07,274
Hunting knives right
next to the last supper.
122
00:05:07,410 --> 00:05:09,270
I'm just scratching my
head saying George where
123
00:05:09,447 --> 00:05:11,277
the hell does Harley
get all this stuff?
124
00:05:11,449 --> 00:05:13,999
You know why would Harley
buy bowling balls when
125
00:05:14,141 --> 00:05:16,701
we don't have a bowling
alley in Berwick?
126
00:05:16,833 --> 00:05:19,873
That's ballsy,
that's ballsy.
127
00:05:20,009 --> 00:05:21,559
Is your brother
a dangerous man?
128
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:23,560
Well he's a good shot.
129
00:05:23,702 --> 00:05:25,982
He's a good shot, okay.
130
00:05:26,153 --> 00:05:28,293
Alright was excited if
not a little nervous to
131
00:05:28,466 --> 00:05:30,946
meet the Godfather behind
all this reinvention.
132
00:05:31,123 --> 00:05:32,613
Mr. Moody?
133
00:05:32,746 --> 00:05:34,436
You must be
Jonny, come in.
134
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,270
If you haven't seen the
inside of Harley's office,
135
00:05:42,411 --> 00:05:44,271
first of all
congratulations you are
136
00:05:44,413 --> 00:05:46,143
not a dead animal.
137
00:05:46,276 --> 00:05:48,826
[laughter]
138
00:05:49,003 --> 00:05:50,873
-And you hunt in
Newfoundland a lot? -Yes
139
00:05:51,005 --> 00:05:52,765
You're not getting
the urge to shoot
140
00:05:52,904 --> 00:05:54,874
something from
Newfoundland right now are you?
141
00:05:55,009 --> 00:05:58,529
No no -Okay you and George
have the grocery store,
142
00:05:58,668 --> 00:06:02,498
Bargain Harley's,
a golf course,
143
00:06:02,638 --> 00:06:05,158
a plaque factory I'm assuming.
144
00:06:07,090 --> 00:06:09,610
The guy's an achiever
you got to give him that.
145
00:06:09,748 --> 00:06:12,338
Yes one of his plaques
said most likely to
146
00:06:12,475 --> 00:06:13,885
receive a plaque.
147
00:06:14,028 --> 00:06:16,128
[laughter]
148
00:06:16,272 --> 00:06:18,722
It doesn't look good to have
empty buildings in the town.
149
00:06:18,861 --> 00:06:21,141
Right -And I like
a challenge.
150
00:06:21,277 --> 00:06:24,967
I found this small Nova
Scotia town in the midst
151
00:06:25,108 --> 00:06:27,318
of a reinvention after a
150 years of being
152
00:06:27,456 --> 00:06:29,596
defined by one thing.
153
00:06:29,768 --> 00:06:33,148
Like my 20 pound bag I
wonder if carrying on with
154
00:06:33,289 --> 00:06:36,259
these apples was a gift
or a weight to bear?
155
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:40,226
He's more of a banana man.
156
00:06:40,365 --> 00:06:41,495
Too far.
157
00:06:41,642 --> 00:06:43,132
But I was about to find
out in this town,
158
00:06:43,299 --> 00:06:45,579
if you don't stay crisp, your
apples could get sauced.
159
00:06:45,715 --> 00:06:48,265
Did she get you?
160
00:06:51,859 --> 00:06:53,719
I was told that maybe
with Berwick the shine
161
00:06:53,861 --> 00:06:55,351
had come off of it.
162
00:06:55,484 --> 00:06:57,664
You know it was a town
built upon an apple
163
00:06:57,796 --> 00:07:00,276
industry that
really is no more.
164
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:03,010
But what I've been most
impressed by by Berwick is
165
00:07:03,181 --> 00:07:06,841
this sort of overwhelming
sense of optimism.
166
00:07:07,012 --> 00:07:10,912
I did have a chance to
chat with the actual apple
167
00:07:11,051 --> 00:07:12,331
blossom princess.
168
00:07:12,501 --> 00:07:13,781
Before I went in I dabbed
on a little bit of
169
00:07:13,916 --> 00:07:15,846
apple cider vinegar.
170
00:07:15,987 --> 00:07:19,647
I think at the end of
the day I just smelled
171
00:07:19,784 --> 00:07:21,994
like piss but- um...
172
00:07:22,131 --> 00:07:24,131
Am I the first man to
bring you apples?
173
00:07:24,271 --> 00:07:25,691
Sorry.
174
00:07:25,824 --> 00:07:27,344
So much for that.
175
00:07:27,516 --> 00:07:28,716
I didn't know if when I
went if I was supposed
176
00:07:28,862 --> 00:07:30,622
to bow or curtsy.
177
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,180
Oh handshake is fine.
178
00:07:32,313 --> 00:07:33,353
A handshake's alright?
179
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:34,867
Oh very informal okay.
180
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,700
I've got a couple of
questions about just what
181
00:07:36,835 --> 00:07:40,805
it means to be the apple
blossom princess:
182
00:07:40,943 --> 00:07:43,703
Have you ever been kidnapped
and held in a tower?
183
00:07:43,842 --> 00:07:46,402
Well that's more
rapunzel isn't it?
184
00:07:46,535 --> 00:07:47,875
Oh is it yeah.
185
00:07:48,019 --> 00:07:50,879
Have you ever had any
trouble with witches, ie,
186
00:07:51,022 --> 00:07:53,232
has any witch ever given
you a poison apple.
187
00:07:53,369 --> 00:07:55,509
No but are those?
188
00:07:55,647 --> 00:07:58,507
no no these are tasty
berwick apples,
189
00:07:58,650 --> 00:08:01,140
they will not make you
fall asleep forever.
190
00:08:01,273 --> 00:08:02,523
OK. Good.
191
00:08:02,654 --> 00:08:04,214
I've never
met a princess.
192
00:08:04,345 --> 00:08:06,965
I live in downtown Toronto
I've met a couple of Queens.
193
00:08:07,141 --> 00:08:09,971
Where do you see
yourself in a few years?
194
00:08:10,144 --> 00:08:11,704
I'd like to be a teacher
in Berwick but there's not
195
00:08:11,836 --> 00:08:13,906
a lot of kids here so
there's not a lot
196
00:08:14,045 --> 00:08:15,805
of job opportunities.
197
00:08:15,978 --> 00:08:17,458
Ya that would
be too bad.
198
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,500
Ok I'm running out of
princess questions.
199
00:08:19,602 --> 00:08:23,642
Are you eligible to
marry Prince Harry now?
200
00:08:23,813 --> 00:08:26,643
Yes anytime.
201
00:08:26,816 --> 00:08:28,336
And you like the
sound of that?
202
00:08:28,473 --> 00:08:30,893
But she's a great gal
she's got a level head on
203
00:08:31,027 --> 00:08:33,237
her shoulders, I think
Berwick you have chosen well.
204
00:08:33,374 --> 00:08:34,964
I'm going to do this as
I leave just to make sure
205
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:37,520
I'm being mannerly.
206
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:40,900
I would go crazy if I had that
kind of power at that age.
207
00:08:41,037 --> 00:08:44,177
Here comes
Jonny appleseed!
208
00:08:44,316 --> 00:08:48,356
Spreading his seed across
the Annapolis Valley.
209
00:08:48,493 --> 00:08:51,433
[laughter]
210
00:08:51,565 --> 00:08:53,185
Actually maybe that's not
a good- that's not -
211
00:08:53,325 --> 00:08:54,905
a that's not a good idea.
212
00:08:55,051 --> 00:08:57,471
Okay let me regroup
let me regroup.
213
00:08:57,606 --> 00:09:02,366
[applause]
214
00:09:02,507 --> 00:09:04,717
All I have found
since I got here is
215
00:09:04,854 --> 00:09:07,694
people who are
diving into brand new,
216
00:09:07,823 --> 00:09:11,763
interesting, exciting
things and making them work.
217
00:09:11,896 --> 00:09:14,416
Like Peter Woodyer.
218
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:16,354
He has an alpaca farm.
219
00:09:16,486 --> 00:09:18,416
But Peter invited me
over to see the alpacas.
220
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:24,598
I said give me ten
minutes I'll pack a bag.
221
00:09:24,771 --> 00:09:26,881
Look at these magnificent
creatures,
222
00:09:27,014 --> 00:09:28,364
These are alpacas.
223
00:09:28,498 --> 00:09:31,088
The best I can surmise
is that an alpaca
224
00:09:31,225 --> 00:09:34,395
is a product of a
sheep and a camel.
225
00:09:34,539 --> 00:09:36,399
Personally I could see why
a lady sheep might
226
00:09:36,541 --> 00:09:39,231
fall for a camel.
227
00:09:39,371 --> 00:09:43,861
He's nice and tall, he
doesn't drink much and
228
00:09:43,997 --> 00:09:46,587
he's good for
a hump or two.
229
00:09:46,724 --> 00:09:53,564
[laughter]
230
00:09:53,696 --> 00:09:55,316
I am a veterinarian.
231
00:09:55,491 --> 00:09:58,291
I retired and I had a
need to keep animals.
232
00:09:58,425 --> 00:10:00,145
I couldn't decide
what to keep.
233
00:10:00,289 --> 00:10:02,119
I thought about deer.
-Right.
234
00:10:02,256 --> 00:10:04,946
But they know
exactly where the tips of
235
00:10:05,087 --> 00:10:07,707
those spikes are and
I'm too young to die.
236
00:10:07,848 --> 00:10:09,298
Oh yes they're like
ninjas with those.
237
00:10:09,470 --> 00:10:10,710
That's right.
238
00:10:10,851 --> 00:10:12,611
Then I thought ostrich.
239
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:14,510
No I'm too
beautiful to die.
240
00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:16,128
You don't approach an
Ostrich without a mattress
241
00:10:16,305 --> 00:10:17,925
in front of you.
242
00:10:18,065 --> 00:10:19,165
This is a good education.
243
00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:20,718
I had no idea.
244
00:10:20,861 --> 00:10:23,171
Somebody mentioned the
word alpaca and investment
245
00:10:23,346 --> 00:10:27,006
in the same sentence
so the penny drop.
246
00:10:27,143 --> 00:10:29,353
Why not?
247
00:10:29,525 --> 00:10:31,345
Well that's what most
hard working middle class
248
00:10:31,527 --> 00:10:33,667
Canadians do for their
retirement is take out a
249
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,640
second mortgage on the
house and drop
250
00:10:35,738 --> 00:10:37,978
tens of thousands of
dollars on alpacas.
251
00:10:38,154 --> 00:10:40,504
Just herd them.
252
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:45,204
No too far, too
far, more over.
253
00:10:45,334 --> 00:10:49,134
A prized alapaca can be
worth 200,000 dollars,
254
00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:51,549
can you believe it?
255
00:10:51,685 --> 00:10:56,515
200,000 dollars it should
give you sound legal advice.
256
00:10:56,690 --> 00:11:00,560
This one's looking at
me like I'm an idiot.
257
00:11:00,694 --> 00:11:03,284
Come on girls.
258
00:11:03,455 --> 00:11:08,285
We all know once you go
alpaca, you never go backa.
259
00:11:08,426 --> 00:11:13,086
We have one
girl, she's nuts.
260
00:11:13,258 --> 00:11:15,088
She's nuts?
261
00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:17,020
Like cuckoo?
262
00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:19,919
They will stand back,
they will regurgitate,
263
00:11:20,058 --> 00:11:25,478
get a mouthful...
Did she get you?
264
00:11:28,515 --> 00:11:30,685
It got me well almost, got
me right in the alpacas.
265
00:11:30,828 --> 00:11:35,418
[laughter]
266
00:11:35,556 --> 00:11:38,106
This area around Berwick
is as nice as any
267
00:11:38,249 --> 00:11:40,039
and better than most.
268
00:11:40,182 --> 00:11:43,222
The land is good,
the soil is good and
269
00:11:43,357 --> 00:11:45,457
it's working out nicely.
270
00:11:45,635 --> 00:11:47,425
We're just keeping
our fingers crossed.
271
00:11:47,568 --> 00:11:49,948
They're like
RRSP's but hairier.
272
00:11:50,088 --> 00:11:53,298
But Peter's opened my
eyes to this sort of
273
00:11:53,436 --> 00:11:56,606
theme of reinvention and
renewal that's going
274
00:11:56,750 --> 00:11:59,170
on in Berwick you know.
275
00:11:59,339 --> 00:12:01,689
There's got to be
something in the apples here.
276
00:12:05,690 --> 00:12:07,690
Now I've noticed the
domino effect of loss in
277
00:12:07,830 --> 00:12:12,280
small towns but in Berwick
it's a domino effect of ideas.
278
00:12:12,455 --> 00:12:15,595
Rachel Argo moved to
Canada from Scotland.
279
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,935
Rachel thought the best
place to raise fancy
280
00:12:18,116 --> 00:12:20,046
Spanish horses
would be Berwick.
281
00:12:20,187 --> 00:12:21,737
You may as well go big.
282
00:12:21,844 --> 00:12:23,674
And she also has a
Vietnamese pot
283
00:12:23,812 --> 00:12:26,922
belly pig named Frodo.
284
00:12:27,056 --> 00:12:29,366
Come here, Frodo.
285
00:12:29,507 --> 00:12:31,407
You know what's
weirder than that?
286
00:12:31,543 --> 00:12:34,063
She said she moved here
for the warmer weather
287
00:12:34,201 --> 00:12:36,581
and it works.
288
00:12:36,721 --> 00:12:38,101
Jonny started
the cookhouse.
289
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,380
We spell our names
the same way.
290
00:12:39,517 --> 00:12:40,857
No H in Newfoundland
291
00:12:41,001 --> 00:12:42,241
Oh right if you're
heating and happle then
292
00:12:42,382 --> 00:12:43,942
you've got too many h's.
293
00:12:44,073 --> 00:12:45,943
He's putting the dash of
Newfoundland in his food.
294
00:12:46,075 --> 00:12:47,175
Order.
295
00:12:47,318 --> 00:12:48,698
Eeeek.
296
00:12:48,837 --> 00:12:50,457
I left even more
with my finger tips.
297
00:12:50,597 --> 00:12:52,557
Margie Lamb started
the meat market.
298
00:12:52,702 --> 00:12:54,462
We named it after my
husband, he's a really
299
00:12:54,601 --> 00:12:56,331
good young weiner.
300
00:12:56,499 --> 00:12:58,639
Apparently the meat market
started as a pig roast
301
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:00,468
right 25 years ago.
302
00:13:00,607 --> 00:13:02,017
My weiner is sagging.
303
00:13:02,195 --> 00:13:03,955
That's life.
304
00:13:04,093 --> 00:13:07,373
As long as the buns don't
sag with it, you're okay.
305
00:13:07,545 --> 00:13:09,405
It all seems to work.
306
00:13:09,547 --> 00:13:11,477
It's like death came
knocking on Berwick's door
307
00:13:11,618 --> 00:13:14,688
but everybody was too busy with
weird stuff to answer.
308
00:13:14,828 --> 00:13:20,418
[laughter]
309
00:13:20,592 --> 00:13:23,982
Even academics long
drawn to retire in this
310
00:13:24,113 --> 00:13:27,013
beautiful region seem to
be learning from Berwick
311
00:13:27,151 --> 00:13:30,571
itself that you can teach
an old dog new tricks.
312
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:34,300
These are all English
Springer Spaniels.
313
00:13:34,434 --> 00:13:36,954
I went out with the
sporting spaniels,
314
00:13:37,092 --> 00:13:40,582
Paul and Cindy and Andre
and Robin and Diane.
315
00:13:40,716 --> 00:13:43,406
We planted our farm in
different kinds of
316
00:13:43,546 --> 00:13:45,236
grasses to hold the birds.
317
00:13:45,376 --> 00:13:46,716
Oh is that right?
318
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:48,760
We've got a physics
professor, an acoustics
319
00:13:48,897 --> 00:13:51,757
professor, a computer
science professor and
320
00:13:51,900 --> 00:13:53,560
a business professor.
321
00:13:53,694 --> 00:13:56,424
Is it harder to teach spaniels
or university students?
322
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,419
They said the dogs are
easily distracted but
323
00:13:59,562 --> 00:14:06,162
they smoke much less weed.
324
00:14:06,328 --> 00:14:07,848
Now this is?
325
00:14:07,950 --> 00:14:09,300
This is saucy wench.
326
00:14:09,434 --> 00:14:10,994
Saucy wench.
327
00:14:11,126 --> 00:14:13,336
Yes for a woman
of easy virtue.
328
00:14:13,473 --> 00:14:15,133
Easy virtue.
329
00:14:15,268 --> 00:14:18,578
It just barely
beat out drunk tease.
330
00:14:18,719 --> 00:14:21,029
Second runner up,
hammered skank.
331
00:14:21,205 --> 00:14:24,825
[laughter]
332
00:14:24,967 --> 00:14:27,687
Saucy though she may
be, I was suffering some
333
00:14:27,832 --> 00:14:29,662
performance anxiety.
334
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:32,349
You have to realize that
that thing is lethal.
335
00:14:32,492 --> 00:14:33,532
This is lethal.
336
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:34,980
Oh good okay.
337
00:14:35,115 --> 00:14:36,355
Everybody tuck back.
338
00:14:36,496 --> 00:14:38,256
I'm new at this racket.
339
00:14:38,394 --> 00:14:41,364
And three, two, one
340
00:14:41,535 --> 00:14:43,605
Holy smokes, how was that?
341
00:14:43,744 --> 00:14:45,134
It was passable.
342
00:14:45,263 --> 00:14:47,823
343
00:14:47,956 --> 00:14:49,536
This is what the day
culminates with.
344
00:14:49,716 --> 00:14:51,026
You bet.
345
00:14:51,166 --> 00:14:53,886
It's quiet and peaceful
and we can have woods
346
00:14:53,996 --> 00:14:56,306
at our doorstep.
347
00:14:56,447 --> 00:14:59,967
I can go out in nature
where I have to be.
348
00:15:00,106 --> 00:15:04,036
Another ex-prof in the
area has a plan
349
00:15:04,179 --> 00:15:06,599
to help small towns.
350
00:15:06,733 --> 00:15:09,913
Colin Bell wants to make farms
tourist destinations.
351
00:15:10,012 --> 00:15:12,672
Well I'll be
his guinea pig.
352
00:15:12,842 --> 00:15:14,812
There's a big challenge in Nova
Scotia with the rural economy,
353
00:15:14,983 --> 00:15:17,023
it's not doing too well
and small farms are
354
00:15:17,157 --> 00:15:18,607
a big part of that.
355
00:15:18,745 --> 00:15:21,265
So unless people find a
way to you know make small
356
00:15:21,403 --> 00:15:23,303
farms profitable, they're
going to go the way of
357
00:15:23,439 --> 00:15:25,299
the dodo and they're
going to die out.
358
00:15:25,441 --> 00:15:26,751
Well why don't we
jump in and you can
359
00:15:26,891 --> 00:15:28,381
Yeah and I'll show ya.
360
00:15:28,513 --> 00:15:32,143
He wanted me to see the farm
and offer some feedback.
361
00:15:32,276 --> 00:15:34,036
These are my layers and
they do lay eggs but
362
00:15:34,174 --> 00:15:36,184
not in their chicken
coop here.
363
00:15:36,349 --> 00:15:38,179
I think some sort of
predator got in there
364
00:15:38,351 --> 00:15:40,391
and scared the poop
out of them.
365
00:15:41,699 --> 00:15:44,559
I said I think I know who the
predator might be Colin.
366
00:15:44,702 --> 00:15:47,392
It's Colin.
367
00:15:47,532 --> 00:15:49,912
Colin they're hiding
their eggs from you man.
368
00:15:50,052 --> 00:15:51,782
Cause they know they're
going to end up
369
00:15:51,916 --> 00:15:53,536
in the frying pan.
370
00:15:53,711 --> 00:15:56,021
First task, find the eggs
which, mysteriously,
371
00:15:56,196 --> 00:15:58,536
were not under the chickens.
372
00:15:58,716 --> 00:16:00,856
Now is there anything
where you're standing?
373
00:16:00,994 --> 00:16:04,204
Cause if there is I guess
you've squashed them huh?
374
00:16:04,342 --> 00:16:07,592
I guess you don't do too
well at easter time huh?
375
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:09,869
AHHH!
376
00:16:10,003 --> 00:16:12,423
Oh you're getting hot.
377
00:16:12,592 --> 00:16:14,182
There you go!
378
00:16:14,318 --> 00:16:16,488
I can't believe that.
379
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:19,050
Finally it was time to
move up to the mammals.
380
00:16:19,185 --> 00:16:20,905
My favourite.
381
00:16:21,049 --> 00:16:22,709
What kind of
sheeps are these?
382
00:16:22,843 --> 00:16:24,503
These are purebred
icelandics.
383
00:16:24,638 --> 00:16:27,258
And in my next task Colin
endowed me with a little
384
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,230
more responsibility.
385
00:16:29,367 --> 00:16:30,987
They're some lambs
born just yesterday.
386
00:16:31,128 --> 00:16:32,918
We dip the navels in
iodine to stop them
387
00:16:33,061 --> 00:16:34,341
getting infected.
388
00:16:34,476 --> 00:16:36,026
So here we go, that's his
penis but if you hit his
389
00:16:36,167 --> 00:16:39,757
penis, his penis is going
to shrivel up and kind of
390
00:16:39,895 --> 00:16:42,965
drop off and he won't
be too happy about that.
391
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:44,760
I won't do that, I
will not do that.
392
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:47,770
And then tip it up,
bingo, excellent.
393
00:16:47,903 --> 00:16:50,633
I'd give you a
ten out of ten.
394
00:16:50,802 --> 00:16:52,872
All clear of the penis.
395
00:16:53,012 --> 00:16:55,602
Now that little guy can
grow up to impregnate
396
00:16:55,738 --> 00:16:57,398
a female sheep.
397
00:16:57,533 --> 00:17:00,543
Kids leave the room!
398
00:17:00,674 --> 00:17:02,574
So Jonny you're going
to see a birthing.
399
00:17:02,745 --> 00:17:04,885
It's her first birth, you
can see she's ready though
400
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:07,164
cause those are the hooves that
are sticking out right now.
401
00:17:07,302 --> 00:17:09,242
She comes out, the hooves
are like this and the
402
00:17:09,407 --> 00:17:10,787
head's tucked down.
403
00:17:10,926 --> 00:17:12,306
It does the superman.
404
00:17:12,445 --> 00:17:14,135
It comes out with a
big dive, you got it.
405
00:17:14,274 --> 00:17:17,004
The town where I grew up,
Pouch Cove in Newfoundland,
406
00:17:17,139 --> 00:17:18,619
it's a fishing town,
there's no farms.
407
00:17:18,761 --> 00:17:20,381
I've never been around
anything like that in my life.
408
00:17:22,696 --> 00:17:25,906
Keep pushing,
that's a girl.
409
00:17:28,564 --> 00:17:31,364
And it was really to be quite
honest it was quite moving.
410
00:17:31,498 --> 00:17:33,328
There you go.
411
00:17:33,466 --> 00:17:35,016
Holy cow.
412
00:17:35,157 --> 00:17:36,397
We got to let mama clean it,
there you go mama, come on.
413
00:17:36,538 --> 00:17:38,298
What a good job.
414
00:17:38,436 --> 00:17:40,086
Start working on it, you
lick it, come on,
415
00:17:40,266 --> 00:17:43,056
come girl you lick it,
come on lick it damn it.
416
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,650
The mother doesn't know
what to do and
417
00:17:45,788 --> 00:17:48,138
it's really important to
get this mucous out of its
418
00:17:48,308 --> 00:17:50,928
nose and its mouth because that
can stop it from breathing.
419
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:53,070
And we lay it down in
front of the mother and
420
00:17:53,210 --> 00:17:55,070
the thing's not moving,
it's not breathing.
421
00:17:55,177 --> 00:17:58,457
Come on keep licking, keep
licking, you got to keep
422
00:17:58,629 --> 00:18:00,319
this guy alive, come on.
423
00:18:06,878 --> 00:18:09,048
Come on girl, you're
supposed to be licking it.
424
00:18:09,191 --> 00:18:11,021
The mother doesn't know
what to do right and
425
00:18:11,193 --> 00:18:13,163
it's really important to
get this mucous off.
426
00:18:13,299 --> 00:18:15,469
We lay it down in front of
the mother was troubled so
427
00:18:15,611 --> 00:18:17,821
we were panicked and it
turns out that before the
428
00:18:17,958 --> 00:18:20,268
baby lamb can start
breathing it needs all
429
00:18:20,409 --> 00:18:22,519
the mucous licked
clean from it.
430
00:18:25,518 --> 00:18:27,998
There we go it's
alive, good girl.
431
00:18:28,141 --> 00:18:30,831
I think the lamb's
going to make it.
432
00:18:30,971 --> 00:18:35,531
And I'll tell ya it wasn't
that bad, it wasn't that bad.
433
00:18:35,666 --> 00:18:39,526
I got a bit of a buzz off
it, it was kind of nice.
434
00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:42,570
So what will you
call the little lamb?
435
00:18:42,742 --> 00:18:44,922
This is probably going to
be number 12 or something.
436
00:18:45,089 --> 00:18:49,649
Welcome to the world
number 12 happy to have ya.
437
00:18:49,783 --> 00:18:54,173
That mucousy moment
taught me there's no point
438
00:18:54,305 --> 00:18:57,335
focusing on the hard times
in life, it's what you do
439
00:18:57,481 --> 00:18:59,521
next that really matters.
440
00:18:59,655 --> 00:19:02,235
That was pretty
powerful to see that.
441
00:19:02,382 --> 00:19:06,112
Giving reviews in
person is kind of awkward
442
00:19:06,248 --> 00:19:09,668
but I had no email
access soooo...
443
00:19:09,838 --> 00:19:14,428
So I have the first written
review of your farm stay.
444
00:19:14,567 --> 00:19:16,357
Dear Colin, how are you?
445
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:18,090
I am fine.
446
00:19:18,226 --> 00:19:20,466
I had a great time
at the farmstay.
447
00:19:20,607 --> 00:19:24,157
One of my faves was
iodizing navels,
448
00:19:24,266 --> 00:19:27,676
I like how you have to
avoid shriveling the penis,
449
00:19:27,856 --> 00:19:29,746
the stakes are high
on that one.
450
00:19:29,892 --> 00:19:33,452
The egg hunt was
frustrating for me.
451
00:19:33,586 --> 00:19:36,136
I don't like to be
outsmarted by poultry
452
00:19:36,278 --> 00:19:38,898
never have, never will.
453
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:42,079
The highlight of my stay
was birthing a lamb,
454
00:19:42,215 --> 00:19:46,045
yes there was a lot of mucous,
like mucous city man but
455
00:19:46,219 --> 00:19:50,469
I will always have a place
in my heart for number 12.
456
00:19:50,603 --> 00:19:52,503
Yours truly, Jonny Harris.
457
00:19:52,674 --> 00:19:54,304
Thank you.
458
00:19:54,434 --> 00:19:55,884
You can do whatever
you want with it.
459
00:19:56,056 --> 00:19:59,026
I've learned a lot here
since I got to Berwick.
460
00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:01,478
How you guys adapt
and reinvent.
461
00:20:01,614 --> 00:20:04,344
I've learned that you can
be happy if you're rolling
462
00:20:04,479 --> 00:20:05,689
with the punches you know.
463
00:20:05,825 --> 00:20:08,375
I've learned that if life
hands you lemons, you make
464
00:20:08,552 --> 00:20:13,212
lemon flavoured apple
juice, is what you do.
465
00:20:13,384 --> 00:20:17,464
I realize now the true
gift Carol and
466
00:20:17,595 --> 00:20:19,385
Julie had given me.
467
00:20:19,563 --> 00:20:21,053
You could only really
learn the lessons of
468
00:20:21,185 --> 00:20:23,325
Berwick one
bite at a time.
469
00:20:23,463 --> 00:20:26,233
Carol and Julie told me
that any proper Berwick
470
00:20:26,397 --> 00:20:29,947
man eats 20 pounds
of apples in a week.
471
00:20:30,090 --> 00:20:35,340
Hey Hey...
472
00:20:35,475 --> 00:20:38,235
I think you've been had..
473
00:20:40,066 --> 00:20:41,996
right before I came down to
the hall here tonight my mom
474
00:20:42,137 --> 00:20:44,377
called me for the first
time since I got to Nova
475
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:47,589
Scotia and she said
Jonathan how is it going?
476
00:20:47,763 --> 00:20:49,773
I said oh you know
it's going pretty good.
477
00:20:49,938 --> 00:20:52,038
I toured with some Belgian
beauties, had tea
478
00:20:52,181 --> 00:20:54,221
with a princess, ate 20
pounds of apples and
479
00:20:54,356 --> 00:20:56,456
birthed an Icelandic lamb.
480
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,910
She said what are
you talking about?
481
00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:01,160
I said mom I'm talking
about Berwick, Nova Scotia.
482
00:21:01,294 --> 00:21:03,054
Thanks so much everybody.
483
00:21:03,192 --> 00:21:06,992
[Applause]
484
00:21:07,127 --> 00:21:09,437
Jonny picked up on everything
that we do in Berwick.
485
00:21:09,578 --> 00:21:11,098
Jonny didn't
miss anything.
486
00:21:11,235 --> 00:21:13,265
I was expecting to have
the mickey taken out of me
487
00:21:13,410 --> 00:21:16,830
but hey he did it so
nicely I didn't mind.
488
00:21:16,965 --> 00:21:18,445
I just love the town.
489
00:21:18,587 --> 00:21:20,177
I do and that's why
because there's people
490
00:21:20,348 --> 00:21:21,588
like this that
fill this place.
491
00:21:21,728 --> 00:21:23,278
I'm not using my fm radio
voice when I tell Jonny
492
00:21:23,420 --> 00:21:24,940
to come back anytime.
493
00:21:25,076 --> 00:21:28,766
Jonny has helped us
reflect on who we are and
494
00:21:28,908 --> 00:21:31,948
the fun that we actually
have and we don't even realize.
495
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:34,053
It's really great that
Jonny was able to consume
496
00:21:34,223 --> 00:21:37,093
at least 20 pounds of
apples while he was here.
