Dean Penney denied bail in Supreme Court in Corner Brook this afternoon. #cbcnl

This is day 2 for Dean Penney’s bail hearing in Supreme Court in Corner Brook. The St. Anthony man is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his estranged wife Jennifer Hillier-Penney. He was arrested in Dec. He’s been at HMP since then.

Hey @cbrh and @CBIStorms ..why am I seeing students around Corner Brook wearing swimming goggles? what's that about?

The solar eclipse has great historical value for Burgeo. In 1766 British explorer James Cook used the total solar eclipse to help map the longitude of Newfoundland! There’s a public viewing near Eclipse Island on the wharf this afternoon.

I’m in Burgeo today for the total solar eclipse! Check out that blue sky. And nothing beats Aunt Rose’s pea soup for lunch. @CBCNL @a_brauweiler #vatcherfromburgeo

Large crowd of mostly lobster fisherman from the west coast of the island and the northern peninsula. FFAW rep says this is a peaceful protest, standing in support with fish harvesters in St. John’s.

Bus 8 & 12 will not be traveling from Georges Lake to Pinchgut this morning due to a "travel not recommended" advisory. We will update you if the advisory changes.

Due to weather conditions the KINDERSTART sessions schedule for CC Loughlin Elementary have been postponed for today January 19. The administration of the school will advise of an alternate date by the end of this next week. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you, @BerniceCBC for having us on the #CBCFeedNL show this morning to sing and talk about the significance of Christmas carols. We are happy to have had a small part in helping raise awareness for the food bank by giving a preview of the carolling that will be this evening.

Students harvested the first crop from our Smart Grow system and were eager to try it. The arugula was quite tasty on our pizza. @NLESDCA @cmwhawk @SmartICE_Arctic

@nigelpjenkins haha this made me LOL. So so true.

A lifehack I've recently discovered is turning off the TV at 10 p.m. and going to bed.

A large sinkhole has opened up next to the Glynmill Inn in Corner Brook. The inn manager tells me it was first spotted at around 7:45, shortly after a heavy downpour of rain.
