RAVINGS by Mike Hickey

The provincial election will soon be kicking into high gear. If I am right, there will be several words that we will hear repeatedly during the campaign such as “responsible”, “sustainable” and “deficit reduction”. Oh and I forgot about “jobs, jobs jobs”. So here is what we need to think about and ask about when we hear these words. “Responsible” - there is virtually no one (except Mikie) who admits to being irresponsible. So politicians are like your 13 year old wanting to go out on their first date. They’ll try to snowball you any way that they can. So just like your 13 year old, you have to ask tough questions and demand details. “So tell me... what exactly would responsible resource development look like??” And, “Who exactly would decide whether it is in fact responsible??” “Sustainable” - the first question here is “sustainable for who”?? Practices such as clear cutting can actually be beneficial for some wildlife but not so good for others. And the next question is “sustainable for how long”?? If it takes 300 years of tree farming before the soil is so poorly degraded that growth levels fall dramatically, is this sustainable”?? Short of the outrageously stupid, virtually everything is sustainable for some period of time. “Deficit Reduction” - this will be promised by all parties and every candidate. The devil of course is in the details. If they are not absolutely specific in where cuts

will be made and especially if they are promising there will be no cuts to health care, education or roads, look elsewhere for a credible candidate or party. If their promise is deficit reduction through growing the economy... run for the hills... and see “jobs, jobs, jobs” below. “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” - everybody wants them and nobody knows how to get them!! “So… smartypants how do you know that??” If job creation was at all simple, unemployment wouldn’t exist anywhere in the world!! The ONLY short term way that a government can create jobs is by spending our money and that does not bode well for deficit reduction, where you are cutting jobs, not creating them. Now to be fair, I do believe that there are long term strategies that can position New Brunswick to excel and create job growth in the long term, but a four year horizon to the next election is not long term!! Yes, we can rapidly rely on fracking for some jobs, but it is not a sustainable strategy for the long term success of the province. All I can say is good luck as we wade through the next few weeks of promises and remember that a good pair of hip waders, a good pressure washing afterwards and we will all be as good as new. 0001

VOLUNTEER DAY CAMP AT KENNEBEC MANOR

Residents at Kennebec Manor in Milledgeville became friends with some kids from the community this summer, after the kids spent a week at Kennebec partaking in the Home’s first Junior Volunteer Summer Day Camp. The kids spent the week learning to be good volunteers by learning the ‘ins and outs’ of the nursing home while also participating in fun science related activities including making volcanoes, homemade ice-cream, melted crayon art etc. Aside from science related activities, the campers also helped with regularly planned activities at Kennebec including Beauty Spa, one-on-one visits and walks. Residents were encouraged to join in on the camper’s activities whenever possible, and certainly enjoyed doing so. The highlight for the kids, residents and staff was possibly the huge water fight that took place to beat the summer heat. The water fight was so fun, that it trickled into the next day, when the

residents enjoyed soaking the kids and each other with their water guns for a second day. This camp was truly beneficial for both the kids and residents and we are looking forward to hosting more camps at Kennebec Manor & Kings Way Care Centre next summer.

V.O.C. REUNION UPDATE

The 50th Reunion of the Class of 1964 from Saint John Vocational School was held on August 1 & 2. It was a complete success, starting with 80 graduates attending the Meet & Greet on Friday night at HVHS/SJVS. It was like going back in time, meeting old friends and renewing friendships after 50 years. There were pictures of the graduates posted on the gymnasium walls from each Department and memorabilia displayed on tables. Refreshments were

served and many pictures taken - a great start to our Reunion. Saturday morning began with a River Boat Cruise on the St. John and Kennebecasis Rivers, originating from the Saint John Marina, with 60 in attendance. The fog cleared as we departed the Marina and the 3-hour cruise was enjoyed by all. Our grand finale was dinner at the KBM Community Centre, catered by Child’s Food, with over 80 enjoying a delicious roast beef dinner. Tilman Martin was our Master of Ceremonies for the evening who recalled wonderful memories of our

school days at Voc. We were pleased to have many of our teachers in attendance reminiscing with the graduates during the Meet & Greet and Dinner. Most of our teachers are in their 80’s. A thank you was extended to the Teachers, HVHS/SJVS Alumni and HVHS Staff for the help needed to make our 50th a success.Committee Submission: Brenda Graham, Sandra Smith, Linda Graham & Clarisse

RED LILY BEETLES, FROLIC NO MORE!

Sweet repose for the gardeners and DEEP repose for Red Lily Beetles - thanks to Oscar Boyd’s experimental services we now have an environmentally safe method of dispatching these dreaded beasties that doesn’t involve catching and squishing them. A simple application of a tablespoon of dish detergent in a litre of water and their frolicking days are OVER! How kind of him to share this remedy; the most up to date Internet info is that it would be best not to even try to grow lilies because of the difficulties in eradicating these pests. We are well into harvest time for the currant family and it’s a good idea to attend to the pruning of the bushes as you harvest; the older fruit bearing branches should be removed at ground level (the old chaps are the darkest in colour ) and they will produce less every year if they remain in place. Next,

for the chop are the light brown jobs and those new branches that are still green, this year’s growth; a dense bush will produce a feeble harvest and the best results come from bushes that support about 18 stems, so nine of each would be perfect, all the stems that are removed should be at ground level and a good application of compost and manure will send them into winter, ready to produce next year. If time is short to be inside boiling up the harvest, the fruit can be frozen and used in your favourite ways in the dark days of winter, currants are very high in Vitamin C and a dollop of jelly in a mug of hot water is the best cure I know for the common cold. When the weather forecaster promises rain, it’s a good time to start dividing and replanting many of the spring flowers; Primroses that have been in a clump for over five years really benefit from a bit of a shake up and it’s good to get this done before the leaves wither. Once the clump is dug up it is quite easy to separate the component

parts and dot them around the border, needless to say they will benefit from a mix of well rotted manure mixed with compost, or a dash or two of bone meal. If Mother Nature confounds the forecast, then the gardener will have to water for a few days to establish the plants in their new homes… No watering in the mid-day sun though! Siberian Iris can become a major problem to divide; the best way to handle them is to take a tough curved hand saw and slice them as you might a good fruit pie, then each slice can be cleaned up and re-positioned in the garden, even though their flowering period is short they do present a very attractive foliage, a good backdrop for the later flowers Blessings, Betty. 0038

I highly recommend you check it out since Barb is in the forefront of all that is inspiring about the city. Go too http://barbbarbbarb.com Jeff - Why did your first start a blog? What keeps it fresh for you 5 years later? Barb - (a) - 5 years ago I was looking for a creative outlet. I was watching a lot of runway fashion shows and looking for bargains here and there - I needed someone to share it with. Slowly, my blog transformed from sharing runway looks I loved and sales at online stores to features, reviews and interviews with local businesses, bands, artists and event highlights.(b) - My blog is 100% love driven. I am

always scrawling ideas I have in my purple notebook. I'm always pitching stories to artists and store owners. I'm always thinking about events I want to attend and putting them into action to share them with the community. It's fresh because there's always something new to do and someone new to meet. Jeff - What are some of the exciting events you have been involved with in the city? Barb - In March 2011, Dan Culberson and I started #SaintJohnCut – a collaborative photo shoot with stores, photographers, models, hairstylists and makeup artists. In 2011 I started a giveaway series called #30in30 - 30 giveaways in 30 days to local businesses. This was such a community game-changer for me. Jeff - Why is this city so special?

FUNDY PADDLERS NEWS

The Fundy Paddlers Club is pleased to announce that four of its members have received the Paddle Canada Intro Style Instructor Certification upon successful completion of an intensive four day course in Saint John, with Charles Burchill of Manitoba as the Instructor Trainer. Karen Vanderwolf, Nancy Clifford, Helen Demont and Charles Graves are the latest certified

Style canoeing instructors in Atlantic Canada. “Style” is a form of precision paddling. It typically involves a single (solo) paddler in the middle of the canoe which is often heeled to one side. Style paddling emphasizes an understanding of body, paddle (strokes) and canoe (hull design) that lends itself to accurate control of the watercraft through various maneuvers such as pivots, circles, sideslips and reverse paddling. Although optional, routines can be implemented by a single paddler or by several canoes paddled together. The course was capped by an impressive performance Monday evening in Rockwood Park in which

all four instructor-candidates executed a routine that they created and choreographed over the weekend. The theme for the routine centred around the wedding of two Fundy Paddlers Club members on Saturday. This performance met with loud approval by an enthusiastic onshore audience. Burchill also conducted a special Advanced Style clinic to qualified local paddlers on Tuesday, August 5. This instructor course is part of a multi-year training program by Fundy Paddlers Club that helps develop paddling expertise as well as qualified instructors who can teach others. This program is possible as a result of support from the NB Department of Healthy and Inclusive Communities as well as Lily Lake Pavilion. Fundy Paddlers Club is based out of Saint John and welcomes local paddlers – canoe or kayak – to participate in regular outings and meetings. Further information about club activities is available at: fundypaddlersclub.weebly.com or on Facebook at Fundy Paddlers Club. 3047

FRESH WITH FOOD by Dave Wolpin

Dave WolpinKredl’s Corner Market

INSIDE OUTIn explaining nutrition to people, I often comment that your skin is a reflection of your innards. In fact, delving deep into our bodies is exactly what you need to do to understand the state of your skin. When I explain to people the degree to which diets can play in our body’s ability to stay disease and illness free, I often run into the genetic and environmental factors that can only be evaluated on an individual basis. I seem to often get the argument that everything is killing us, so what is the point. To me it is silly that I even need to argue against this, since just a simple consideration of probability should be enough to encourage a person to do what they can to minimize risk. However, with sugar as one of the most addictive substances on Earth (challenge me and try quitting for a month) and since it is hidden in nearly everything processed, even minimally, it is no surprise that people are willing to die to eat it. Inherently I know that our body’s interaction with food is much more intimate and profound than our contact with our outside environment. However, I cannot ever seem to find a way to quantify it. My goal is not to discredit the importance of clean air, but rather to stress the degree to which food can trump genetics and environment for the average person, especially since the food we eat is easier to control than the air we breathe. Remembering that I have no science background and that my observations are purely for discussion, Dr. Michael Gregor spelled it out for me perfectly: “no more than 2% of all human cancer is attributable to purely genetic factors.” As discussed in my newsletter a couple months ago, we have the power to use diet to change many of our genes several times within our lifetime. So what about our environment? What parts of our body have intimate contact with nature's elements? I cannot seem to think of anything other than our skin and our lungs. According to Gregor, our skin covers about 22 square feet and if you flatten out our lungs, they will cover about 1000 square feet. To put things

in perspective, our intestine, unravelled, unfolded and flattened cover approximately 3000 square feet. This means “what we eat is our primary interface with the outside world, with our external environment.” It seems the greatest hazard to our health is the preference of the authorities to publish information that the public is likely to accept, rather than just telling us what

science says and letting us make up our own minds. Canada’s Food Guide is a perfect example of this social flounder. 0039

Colin SiftonOwner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

ASK THE CHEF by Colin Si� on

SHEETS, STRANDS OR SHAPES!

Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week we had a big discussion on pasta. They all seem to taste the same but come in so many different shapes and sizes, Why? Most people think that pasta was invented in Italy but in fact pasta started in China over 4000 years ago. It did not look or taste like the pasta we have today.; this pasta did start in Italy around 1154. The difference was Italian pasta is made from wheat, where the Chinese pasta was made with millet. Italian pasta was made with durum wheat mixed with water but eventually the addition of eggs gave a better result. Pasta comes in over 600 shapes and sizes. The main reason for these different shapes and sizes would depend on how heavy and thick

the sauce you were serving was. The lighter the sauce, the smaller and lighter the pasta. Because there are so many different shapes and sizes, we can break pasta down to three different categories; sheets, strands and tubes or shapes. Sheets would be a lasagna noodle; used to make casserole style pasta dishes, they allow the cook to make different layers to their dish. You would also use a sheet pasta to make ravioli or tortellini. Strands would be a spaghetti and this comes in many different sizes from angel hair which is very thin to thick tagliatelle. Shapes and tubes would be macaroni or rotelli and even rotini. Shapes and tubes grab ahold of your sauce, allow the sauce to go into the different crevasses, where strands soak in the sauce but hold very little sauce. Shapes was also a way different families could differentiate their dish from another family’s dish. A family would pass down their shape and recipe from generation to generation and other families would not use

this shape out of respect. Great feuds began just over the shapes and taste of pasta. Today we see more coloured pastas. Not to say they were not used before, they are just more available today than 1000 years ago. Tricolour rotini is one we often see in grocery stores. This is a combination of yellow, green and red pasta. Yellow is the traditional, green has the addition of spinach juice and red is the addition of tomato puree. If you can find it fresh, you can really tell the difference but with the dry, I find it all tastes pretty much the same. Like anything else we find in stores, fresh is always better than dried especially if you want the flavoured or stuffed pastas. The problem is that fresh is more expensive than dried unless you want to make it yoursel f . 0040

POINT OF VIEW by Diane McMillan

A SOUTHPAW CELEBRATION

Even now, the mere sight of a three ring binder or HB pencil brings it all back. The frustration of trying to write something – anything, without smudging it all over my hand and the page that lies beneath it. Add pen, pencil or marker and everything I touched became a stamp pad! If you can relate, you're probably a leftie! And, if you've ever been called southpaw by a well meaning friend or relative, take pride in the fact that you're a member of a pretty exclusive club only about 10 per cent of the world's population is left handed! On Wednesday, August 13, lefties of the world got to celebrate small victories over scissors, can openers, computer mices, desks and smudges during International Left Handers Day. Yes, there's an actual day to celebrate the fact that you're

different than most! Before I share some fun facts about lefties in general, here are a few about me. I use my left hand for most tasks, but always operate the computer mouse with my right. I never had problems using scissors, can openers or vegetable peelers, even though I use my left hand for all three. Left handedness is said to run in families, but I'm the only leftie in mine. I cannot play baseball, because I catch AND throw with the same hand – my left! Studies claim that lefties tend to be more creative. I'm not sure if that's true, but I've always been drawn to creative things like writing and photography. I can remember working at a Nova Scotia weekly where all four of the editorial staff were left handed. What do Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Darwin, Bill Gates, Leonardo Da Vinci, and four of the last seven US presidents have in common? You guessed it. They were/are left handed. Four of the five original designers of the

MacIntosh computer were left handed and left handedness runs in the British royal family. The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Prince William are all left handed. You'll also recognize these famous names. Robert DeNiro, Jerry Seinfeld, Lady Gaga, Morgan Freeman, Tom Cruise, Tim Allen, Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Celine Dion, Drew Carey, David Letterman, Jim Carrey, Angelina Jolie, and Julia Roberts. In honor of International Left-Handers Day, find a leftie and give them one big, giant, left-handed fist bump. 0032

LABOUR DAYRodney WestonMP / député - Saint John

www.rodneyweston.caEmail: [email protected]

90 King St, Saint John, NB 657-2500

The Labour Day holiday has since the 1880’s, been an annual celebration

of working men and women; who back in those days worked even longer than most of us do today. Th e holiday was created in response to a parade in support of the strike by the Toronto Typographical Union. What were they striking for? A reduction to a fi ft y-eight hour work week! An almost unheard of number for a standard work week nowadays.

We now have a standard forty hour work week for many professions and Labour Day’s history and roots have largely been lost to the annals of time. Most people now think of Labour Day as: a) the unoffi cial end of summer, b) the last day

we can wear white and still be fashionable, c) the day before the kids go back to school. Very few of us celebrate it for what it is and lump it in with the rest of the civic holidays that we take for granted.

So, how do you plan to use your unoffi cial last day of summer? A trip with the family to the beach, weather permitting of course, the tail end of a Canadian Summer can be a fi ckle thing. Maybe a simple BBQ in the backyard with friends and family, or just

Thanks to the eff orts of those in the 1880’s, most of now enjoy work weeks that consist of 38 hours on average instead of the 58 that was the norm back then.

A sincere thank you to those in southern New Brunswick who employ our skilled electricians.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 502 supports businesses of allsizes that stimulate our local economy and assist charitable organizations that improve

the quality of life in this region.”

a relaxing day around the house without any real labour to speak of.

Unlike the other holidays, the pomp and circumstance of Labour Day has been lost over the years. Th ere are no more large parades or picnics, it has changed from a day of celebration into a day of rest, free to be spent how you choose. Th ere are no obligatory family gatherings or long time-honored traditions passed down for long years. Just a day off and for children the last day of a misspent summer where time seemed endless and things to do seemed few.

No matter how you choose to celebrate, whether with family and friends in the backyard, by

sleeping in and then an aft ernoon, or a quick trip to a local park or beach, there are only a few holidays

a year that don’t come with dinner plans and commitments. Happy Labour Day!

While there is no longer parades and picnics, take this labour day to be thankful to those that work so hard everyday to provide us with our basic necessities.

teenagers and adults will benefi t from meeting people who share their likes and interests. People who they can form bonds with and share a communal activity together.

It’s important for everyone to get out there and be a part of something they love and believe in. Whether you join a running club, a camera club, or give selfl essly of your own time by volunteering at a local food bank or other worthy cause.

In our current state of over connectedness via social media and choice overload on what we can do with our time it’s easy to believe that we can stay inside, at home, and stay connected, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Especially from teenagers and young children.

So, get out there and get active. Join a group and have some fun. Just remember to pick something you like to do and have fun.

WELL RESTED by Angie Cummings

Angie Cummings, BScRRT, Sussex Sleep Clinic

A.D.H.D. OR SLEEP APNEA?

Millions of children in western society are diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This behavior disorder that can cause labelling and low self-esteem is marked by poor concentration, organization and memory. Sufferers also exhibit trouble with impulse control, agitation and excitability. These issues can cause problems with learning at school, cognitive development and relationships. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a disorder where the child stops breathing in their sleep because the upper airway has closed off. These children generally have enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids that are getting in the way, blocking the air passage. Studies have shown that children with obstructive sleep apnea have higher rates of difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity, communication problems and aggressiveness.

Do the symptoms of these two disorders sound similar? The symptoms of sleep deprivation either through not enough time in bed or a sleep disorder such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are in fact indistinguishable from those of ADHD. With OSA, the child is repeatedly being aroused out of their deep sleep to take a big breath and get the oxygen that their body needs. The child is not getting the rest that they desperately need and their behavior during the day can reflect this, showing symptoms of ADHD. There can be changes that take place within the brain that cause cognitive and learning problems. Research shows that these changes may be improved with treatment. Besides behavioral issues, children with OSA can be smaller than others as growth hormone is mostly released in the deep stages of sleep. These children are not getting enough time in these stages. There are health risks such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Childhood obesity can also add to the risk of OSA because fat deposits around

the neck crowd the airway as well. Adults with sleep apnea often appear to be tired during the day, this is not always the case with children. Often they appear agitated, hyperactive with poor concentration. Is it possible that children with OSA are being diagnosed with ADHD? Yes, this is entirely possible and is in happening quite frequently. The key to treating OSA or ADHD is proper diagnosis. If your child snores, discuss this with your primary health care provider. A referral to an Ear Nose and Throat Specialist may be required. Tonsil and adenoid removal are the most effective treatment for kids with OSA. Lots of good quality sleep is essential for happy, healthy kids. 0047

MUSINGS by Debbie Hickey

Debbie HickeyPresident, Ossekeag Publishing

ON REACHING AGE 60

A few weeks ago I celebrated one of those milestone birthdays. You know the kind. They usually end in a zero, or occasionally a five. In this case, I turned 60. No matter how you cut it, it is pretty obvious I have more years behind than I have left ahead of me. For forty of those sixty years I have worked. Most of my friends of similar vintage are retired, and I sometimes wonder with what do they fill their days. And I wonder if I am ready to be one of them, the retirees. If I were still a government employee I would be offered the opportunity for pre-retirement planning to work through the many aspects of this question. As a small business owner I do not have those kinds of resources at my fingertips, but what I do have is considerably more flexibility than most to create a lifestyle that fits me. So, I have recently stepped back a little from the running of Ossekeag. I am blessed to have a fantastic team who have the energy and enthusiasm and ideas that have been inspiring us in these last months. I love where we are going and am enjoying it immensely, and I am big enough to recognize that the leadership of Alex and Amanda is exactly what Ossekeag needs in 2014 and going forward. I am still working to find the “perfect” solution for myself, and I am not entirely sure what it is going to look like at this point, but it will definitely involve less time in the office. Like most small business owners, time off has been a luxury during the last 14 years and I am pleased to have largely worked my way out a job. Oh, I won’t be far. Mike and I won’t be spending half the year in southern climes or touring the world on our yacht. At the moment I have a number of projects that have been left unfinished for several years, while I take some time to do my own future (not retirement) planning. Meanwhile this “semi-retirement” seems to be working out well.

You’ve bought your dream car, or in some cases, the only SUV that isn’t a gas guzzler and fi ts the hockey bags - and now you want to make it last as long as possible in top condition. It’s funny to me that when you get your ears pierced there is after-care instructions, when you travel there is travelling instructions, but when you pull a new vehicle away from the lot you are left alone to fi gure it out for yourself. This is the second biggest investment of most of our lives, and we assume that we have all of the information we need. Who knew that there is ‘after care’ instructions for your car? Read all about it below, and keep depreciation at bay!

• During the break-in period, typically the fi rst 1,600 km, keep your speed under 88 kph as often as possible (or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer – yes they have one!)

• Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials when you fi rst purchase a vehicle – let it get used to the roads fi rst!

• Do not allow your car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during break-in. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine.

• Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the fi rst few hours of driving. This allows you and your new car to ‘ease into eachother’.

• Do not race your car’s engine during start-up. This is a quick way to add years of wear to your engine, especially if it’s cold outside – and in this neck of the woods, those days chilly days are many!

• Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive – don’t race off to work! The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the fi rst ten to twenty minutes of operation.

• Warming the engine by letting it idle in the driveway is not a smart idea. The engine doesn’t operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot deposits on cylinder walls, oil contamination, and ultimately damaged components – all kinds of nasty!

• Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to push the car even while it’s stopped.

• When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in an extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds. Doing so can damage the power-steering pump.

Did you know that fi lling up while the tanker is at the gas station is a new car no-no? If you happen to see a gasoline tanker fi lling the tanks at your gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being fi lled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel fi lters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.

Lastly – lighten your keyload! Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition. The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure. To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded.

Next month we will talk about exterior/interior tips and tricks that will save you money now, and when you decide it’s time to trade-in!
