Three separate interviews: Wally Maynard talks about the negative image of the Newfoundland lifestyle reflected in the media; Extension has helped to foster pride in community and identity; being formally unemployed is not so bad since many can maintain quite a good lifestyle. At 8:47, Ray Hawco reacts to the statements made by Ralph Matthews and reports on some of the workshop discussions emphasizing the fishery in the rural environment; changes in attitudes, growing more proactive. [Interlude without sound] At 20:25, Calvin White gives his impressions of the conference; presentations were somewhat repetitious and pitched above the grassroots participants; more concrete local examples needed; lack of good resource management and lack of opportunity for community involvement and control, in forestry for example.
