Haliburton County has a well known reputation as an arts and culture centre. This week, Kate has the story of some of the early origins of theatre in Haliburton County going back to 1907. Plus, Paul has the history of the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD), a post-WW2 binational partnership between the US and Canda. It was designed during the Cold War as an early warning system in case of nuclear attack. It was a unique arrangement, and it still exists today although its been updated and adapted to take in account emerging technologies. Unfortunately it also contributed to the demise of Canada's Avro Aroow - a state of the art interceptor-fighter plane.

This week, Kate has some stories about getting one over on the game warden plus Paul tells the tale of Canada's most unusual Prime Ministers - William Lyon Mackenzie King. King had two sides. He was Canada's longest serving prime ministers and accomplished a lot during his tenure. He also had a public persona as a skilled negotiator who could find practical solutions to problems, but privately was a very lonely, quiet individual who turned to a belief in seances, omens and spirits to find reassurance. Interestingly he was able to keep his two sides separate.

Plus, Paul has the tale of Ken Leishman who pulled a record gold-theft from the Winnipeg airport on March 1, 1966. Ken was often described as an intelligent, charming, and charismatic man who always had a smile and was liked by everyone - including police, prison guards and fellow inmates. He earned the nickname of the 'Flying Bandit' and the'Gentleman Bandit'.
