Published: October 19, 2026 at 5:00a.m. EDTCONCEPTION BAY SOUTH, N. L. -- At 81 years old, Barbara Harpur may just be busier than ever. In the last two months — all while water damage was being remediated in her basement in Conception Bay South — Harpur made three new variations to one of her classic sweater designs and prepped them for publishing at a local print shop. The timing couldn’t be better. Her new pattern book, More NL Guernsey Patterns, will release just as millions of people are seeing her design on their televisions and computers, as worn by Newfoundland actor Andy Jones on the Netflix show Below. How to set CTV News as your preferred source on Google“I knew the show was going and everything, and I was trying to get it all together, but the timing is perfect,” Harpur said. Her original Newfoundland Guernsey pattern is more than 25 years old, but its screen time in the streaming show has given it a new life. Newfoundland and Labrador knitting shop Cast On, Cast Off has been selling kits to make the pattern since Below was released, and is struggling to keep that product in stock.

Trump golf course: DOJ official clashes with judge in DC golf course case after Trump attacks her

A contentious hearing is underway in Washington, D. C., where lawyers for the Trump administration are facing off with a federal judge pushing for answers over whether she was deliberately misled by the government over why it removed hundreds of trees from a local public golf course. D. C. District Judge Ana Reyes has ordered testimony from Interior Department official Gregory Wischer and acting Director of the National Park Service Jessica Bowron over why the government moved abruptly on Columbus Day weekend to remove more than 500 trees from East Potomac golf course without giving her proper advance notice. Last week, Reyes erupted at attorneys for the government after the trees were removed despite her demanding the administration alert her in advance if it planned any significant alterations to the course given ongoing litigation. The golf course has been the subject of litigation brought by the D. C. Preservation League in response to President Donald Trump's efforts to turn it into a course that could host professional tournaments.
