CLIMATE CHANGE AND TREES

Certainly, most of us have come to expect that climate change could mean things such as: One of the worst winters in history or hurricanes that will do more damage than we have ever seen before. But it is not simply our climate that will change. For instance, melting of our ice caps will raise water levels along our shorelines leading to more flooding and shore erosion. Climate change will affect farming and impact what crops will grow best. A recent study by scientists has reviewed what changes might take place to the composition of our Acadian Forest due to climate change. Does anyone remember what I wrote a couple of years ago?? Okay, so it wasn’t that memorable!! Let me refresh. I questioned the wisdom of our government allowing large forestry companies to plant a single species of trees over hundreds of acres of our very own crown land that belongs to you and me. The main reason I gave is that a single species of tree is a huge gamble when you are not looking to harvest those trees for up to 70 years or so in the future. A whole lot can happen in 70 years. Just picture the world as it existed 70 years ago. . . “1945 “. WOW!! Do you know of anyone who is smart enough to accurately predict what our world, if we

are still around, will look like in 2085??? The climate change study now presents evidence that our forestry companies may just have screwed up even worse than I had anticipated. To the best of

my knowledge, the major trees that they have selected for their plantations over the past few decades have

been conifers such as jack pine and black spruce (trees which are at the very southern

limits of their range). A warming climate

will mean that these species of trees will likely suffer and not do well. Had we insisted on species diversification, we would have also planted hemlock and white pine, which are expected to do well in a warmer climate. Frankly I don’t care if politicians want to gamble. Casino New Brunswick will gladly take their money. BUT, they should stop gambling right now with our largest renewable resource and cease turning our forestinto plantations. 0001

LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER WORKSHOPS

Our workshops for women, offered at Saint John Regional Hospital are led by industry-trained cosmetic advisors and hair alternatives specialists who generously donate their time and expertise. The workshops are strictly brand-neutral – no brands, products, salons or services are endorsed - and they do not interfere with medical treatments. In fact, many health care providers believe that the positive outlook gained by many participants can play a tremendous role in the overall medical care and treatment. What happens at our free workshops? For two hours, eight to ten women gather with trained advisors who take them through the program's Signature Steps for skin care, cover-up, eyes and colour, as well as hair alternatives. These volunteers understand the changes that cancer, radiation and chemotherapy can have on a woman's appearance. They provide creative solutions to help women look more like themselves. Beyond the benefits of feeling better about your appearance, you’ll discover a community of inspiration and support. Pre-registration is required at 648-6885. Workshops are held monthly on the 3rd Monday of each month (exceptions in May & December on the 2nd Monday) 1:30-3:30pm. Next Workshop - June 15. 3505

DOLLARS & SENSEKIDS TODAY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT MONEY

At a recent event I was talking with a lady about what we do and she started telling me a story about how she learned to save. Her teacher, in partnership with the Credit Union, would have her students deposit their savings once a month at the school and would update their passbook. Sometimes it was a dime and sometimes it was a quarter this lady at the time was able to save, but nonetheless the excitement of savings was instilled and the understanding of finances began. A lot of these conversations end in, “kids today have no idea about money.” Fast forward decades and on April 15 was Talk with our Kids About Money Day. Many financial literacy service providers across Canada embraced this theme and headed out to spread the word and importance. We do have a program we deliver to elementary schools called The Grade 4 Read. In our Grade 4 program, we introduce savings and budgeting for the students to take home to their parents and talk about it. The students receive a goal setting exercise sheet and a piggy bank. The piggy bank makes the biggest impression and in the feedback we receive the students plan to use them. Why is the message so important? Some will say it’s an easy answer, debt is rising, incomes are stagnant and students these days just do not know enough about money; but is that the reason why? My answer may surprise you, it is no, those are not the reasons. Yes, in the big picture

they all play a part, but the reality is it’s the society that needs the talk. We are always asked to provide presentations on how to talk to your kids about money, and we do, but what we call it is Modelling Financial Behaviour. The way we look at it is, have you ever had anyone try to tell you how to do something when they don’t do it themselves. If a parent does not budget, and uses credit frequently that is what a child sees and what we see tends to be what we emulate. It is important that finances become a conversation, like we would nutrition and we need increased awareness that our behaviours do not only affect our own pocketbook. When you stop for a moment and look at how we spend, it’s very much on convenience. We stop for coffees, buy our water bottled and take our lunches from the freezer to the microwave. It is not just children who need to learn how to handle money. In an ideal world we would all have a budget with money for savings and only the occasional debt. Helping your child make financial decisions is a good way to start. If they are looking at going on a school trip, have them save for half or give them a budget for their school snacks and have them weigh the decisions on what to buy with that budget. Having conversations about money will bring us all forward. 0005

GET FISHING

Joe TilleyFisherman at Large

GETTING PICKEREL ON THE HOOK

This is the season for pickerel fishing! Pickerel, a smaller cousin of the Pike, is abundant in our area and a fish that is a ton of fun to catch. In fact, I have some friends that choose to fish for nothing other than pickerel for most of the year! Most pickerel you find will be around 16”-18” long, with larger ones getting closer to two feet or more. In the Spring, some people choose to keep pickerel for food, but as it warms up, their flesh become very soft, and often susceptible to parasites - not generally considered good for food, but still a great catch and release experience. To find pickerel, aim for water where there are a lot of weeds, pickerel love the grass! Adjacent to the public dock in Hampton is a popular place where you can fish pickerel from shore. I like to paddle my kayak next to a bank of

weeds and then cast my line parallel to the edge of the grass and retrieve it quickly along the surface. A top-water lure like a soft plastic frog or large spinnerbait which stirs up the water as you retrieve it fast would be a great choice; pink and white being the most popular colors. Once a pickerel notices the lure, it will often dart towards it and resemble a torpedo moving quickly through the water. Then the fish explodes out of the water to violently attack! This charge and strike will thrill most anglers, especially when you have a child out to witness it for the first time. Assuming you hook the fish, you then have a fun little fight on your hands. Be ready with your net if in a boat or kayak! Important to note with pickerel is that they have small but extremely sharp teeth and a lot of them! You do not want to ever put your fingers in the mouth of one of these fish. Use pliers to remove the hook. Also, because of these teeth, they may quickly destroy

your soft plastics after a few strikes, and often damage your leader. Bring several lures and use at least a 30lb leader for pickerel fishing, checking it regularly for damage. If a fish has put a nick into it, then change it out as the next fish may easily break the leader and swim away with your lure and hook. And of course, never hold fish by the gills, and be sure to get it back in the water as soon as possible, so that it can swim away happy and be caught again by the next angler! 0044

Exploring the Excellence of Chinese Cuisine from Here...Exploring the Excellence of Chinese Cuisine from Here...

Aft er my recent dining experience at the China Coast Restaurant in Rothesay, I refer to this hidden gem of a restaurant as the coast with the most......food I’ve ever seen! As a life long lover of Chinese food, I’ve tried, tested, enjoyed and not so enjoyed dishes from many diff erent restaurants. So, when a co worker asked me if I’d like to join her for lunch at China Coast, I couldn’t say no. Aft er all, we had been graciously invited by the restaurant’s general manager and co owner, Helen Hua, to come by and try some of their signature side dishes. When I walked through their front door, the fi rst thing that caught my attention were the wonderful aromas drift ing from their lunch buff et. Aft er we were greeted and seated by a couple of friendly staff , we made a bee line for the buff et table. We didn’t know then that Helen’s husband, Kang, was already busy preparing about six of their signature side dishes for us too. When I inspected the large selection of buff et items, I immediately loved the fact that their individual serving trays are much smaller than you see in many restaurants. Th at tells me that they only prepare small amounts at the time, so your food is always fresh and hot. I loved this concept, and wish more restaurants did the same. Aft er taking my fi rst bite, I was surprised by all the fl avor. I didn’t realize how bland other Chinese food I’d tried really was, until I tried their lemon chicken, sweet and sour pork and Singapore style vermicelli. Th e vermicelli, which is of their spicier dishes, isn’t something I would normally try, but it wasn’t so hot that I didn’t enjoy it. Surrounded by six huge servings of their signature dishes, which also include: Szechuan chicken, curry chicken, gai ding, gai pan and house fried noodles, we were getting some funny looks from our restaurant neighbours. Th ey clearly thought we went a little overboard. Helen shared with us that they opened their doors in 2003 and, at the time, were the fi rst and only Chinese restaurant in town. Th eir goal, she said, has always been to provide patrons with a quaint and comfortable dining atmosphere. Th ey take pride in providing their customers with excellent food prepared with quality ingredients and special attention to fl avor. Speaking from my own experience, they’ve done a great job of both. In addition to a large selection of appetizers and soup, they off er dine in and take out dishes categorized by vegetable, pork, chicken, beef, rice, seafood, chow mein, noodle and egg foo young. Th ey also have several combination plates to choose from. If you’re really hungry and savour the fl avor, China Coast Restaurant won’t disappoint. It gets my huge stamp of approval.

ASK THE CHEF

Colin SiftonOwner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

THE MYSTERY OF MEASURING

Colin Sifton from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering here again with another answer to your question. I seem to get a lot of baking questions, and as a Chef, baking and cooking are very different. Cooking is balancing flavours to produce the best product possible. You don’t need a recipe, but a good sense of taste. Baking is very much like chemistry. It’s very precise in ingredients and if you are off by just a bit, your product will fail. Recovery is easy when cooking but next to impossible to correct when baking. This leads me to my question this week. Some recipes are done in units, like cups and ounces and 1 egg or two, while other recipes are done completely in weight, like grams and pounds. Which is the correct recipe? Many recipes you have in a cookbook are done in units because they produce small amounts of product. It may say two cups

of flour, quarter pound of butter, two eggs and a pinch of salt. When dealing with such small amounts, it is hard to make a mistake. Now imagine making 20, 50, or even 100 times that recipe. When we scale up a recipe, larger margins of mistake can happen. Is every egg the same size? Is the air in your flour consistent all the way through? Is that 2/3s of a teaspoon correct when increased by so much? Probably not. I worked with a pastry chef from France years ago and he would use his baby finger to wipe out the inside of an egg shell because each time a small amount would be left behind. By cooking by weight instead of units we reduce the potential for failure when baking. Imagine having to make five cakes and they all fail. This could be a disaster as you just lost $60 or even $100 because you had to throw out your mixture and start over. I once worked at the Chateau Lake Louise in Banff Alberta in the pastry shop. One day when I came in I was given a long list of items to weigh off. I was preparing the ingredients for fruit cake for the season.

Everything was given to me in weight. I spent the whole day weighing off each ingredient and in the end had two metric tons that were to be made into fruit cake. This was a much faster way as well to get all of these ingredients together because if I had to do it one cup at a time and count out each teaspoon or tablespoon I would have been there a lot longer. If I lost my count I would have had to restart. By doing it by weight, if I got lost I could just drop it back on the scale to double check. Now, weight versus units is good if you are producing large amounts, but for what most people do units work just fine. Now next Christmas, when you start your seasons baking, keep track of how much weight of each ingredient and the next year you could save yourself a lot of time by weighing out your ingredients. 0040

Whether your child is going away for a week, a month, or maybe it’s just a day camp, keeping a journal about what they did each day and recording the experiences will be a great way to remember their summer for years to come, and it may encourage them to journal on a more regular basis. If your child is going away be sure to include mechanical pencils (and extra lead) for them to journal with. Pens can easily leak on a hot day and ruin an otherwise perfectly good bag of clothes, and regular pencils need to be sharpened regularly, which could make a mess for other campers who are sharing a tent or cabin.

If your child will be going away be sure to follow the

Look through local second hand stores for equipment that was gently used and still in good shape. Be sure to purchase a good whistle and a lanyard (Fox40 works best) for your child if they’ll be spending time outdoors. If they wander

away from the group or become lost, the whistle will help anyone looking for them fi nd them that much easier.

When your child comes home be sure to ask questions about their day, try to make the questions specifi c and avoid questions that can be answered with a yes or no. Talk to your child about their favourite moment in the day and what they liked about it.

Packing some pre-addressed & stamped envelopes can be a great way to encourage your child to write to you while they’re away at camp. Be sure to tuck the letters away and give them all back to your child when they’re older. If the camp allows it, a disposable camera can be a great way for your child to remember their time at camp, and it won’t be a big loss if it’s lost or stolen.

clothing. Heavy items should be placed above lighter items and should rest against your back when you’re hiking. Th is will keep your backpack from pulling down and back against you. If you know you’re going to be hiking over rough or hilly terrain, pack heavy items lower down in your pack to help keep your centre of gravity low to the ground. If you come across unexpected

rough country there’s nothing wrong with stopping and re-adjusting your pack. Bulky medium weight items can go in front of the heavy weight items which will be resting against your back. Small items, and anything that you’ll need quick access to should go in outside pockets so they can be grabbed quickly.

Make sure you adjust your

UNITED WAY COMMUNITY FUNDING

The United Way Serving Saint John, Kings, and Charlotte announced funding of nearly $900 000 to 21 community projects earlier this year based on an initial 52 requests. As of May 4, charities or qualified organizations from Kings, Charlotte or Saint John Counties can submit a brief Letter of Intent to be considered for funding. The deadline to submit the Letter of Intent is July 1. Between now and July 1 the United Way will be offering information sessions throughout the region and will be available to offer guidance. Last year the United Way received 52 applications and expects more this

year. The United Way is eager to see great ideas from charities throughout the region with which we can partner to make a positive impact in our community. Applying for United Way funding is a 3-phased process. The Community Investment Advisory Committee, a team of volunteers who represent investors, individuals with non-profit and business expertise, review each phase and prepare recommendations to the United Way board of directors. The Letter of Intent is the first phase; agencies provide a high level description of the need in the community and proposed solution. The Committee reviews Letters of Intent and a shortlist of applicants is invited to the second phase, full application. The full application is loosely based on the “Lean Business Model Canvas” and is due end of September. The final phase is an interview with Committee members to determine the number of years and size of grant to be recommended. Charitable organizations or coalitions can apply for United Way funding at the following link: agency.e-cimpact.com/login.aspx?org=147855. 3489

OH, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNIN'

Oh, what a beautiful mornin'.Oh, what a beautiful day.I've got a wonderful feelin'.Everything's goin' my way. I went to bed hummin' this classic tune from the hit musical, Oklahoma, and woke up doin' the same. If you were lucky enough to take in Belleisle Regional High School's latest musical production, Oklahoma, you know what I'm talking 'bout, and you probably did the same. From the moment Curly, played by Nigel Boyd, (who also happens to be my cousin) walked onto the stage singing this classic opening song, I was transfixed by the talent and entertained by the performances of this high school cast of characters. The musical is based on Lynn Riggs' 1931 play, Green Grow the Lilacs, and is set in Oklahoma territory just

after the turn of the century. The high spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides the colourful background against which Curly the cowboy, and Laurey, a local farm girl played by Tori Armstrong, act out their love story. Although the road to true love never runs smooth, with these two headstrong romantics holding the reins, love's journey is as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road. The classic tunes and boot-stomping dances carried on throughout the two-plus-hour performance and there was no shortage of laughter as the story unfolded on stage. I can't say enough about how well everyone did, but there were a handful of characters who stood out for me. Seth Anderson, who played Persian peddler, Ali Hakim, had me in stitches, as did Matt Durnnian, who played cowboy Will Parker, and his flirtatious fiance, Ado Annie, played by Madelynn Budd. Jarred Beckerton also did a great job of playing the role of Andrew Carnes, as did Laura Webster,

POINT OF VIEWwho played Aunt Eller. Along with the usual performers, it was nice to see a lot of new faces in this year's cast. About one-third of the school is involved in the production in one way or another. From the cast, choreographer, lights and sound to the stage crew, set painting and construction, everyone pulled together to take it from good to great. Director, Andrea Lewis, should be commended for her ongoing commitment to the school's drama program. 0032

LOVE’S RECORDS

I started seeing Dave at many shows and since it was apparent we were both rabid music fans we struck-up a friendship based upon great music both on record and Live. Music is such a wonderful language that brings people and community together. This feature is about visiting Kingston resident Dave Love and admiring his awesome prominently Canadiana record collection and talking about, you guessed it music. “Before I started buying records I used to listen to the radio. Anytime a Canadian artist came on the radio I’d pay more attention. I remember being 9 or 10 (years old) and hearing bands like RUSH, Eight Seconds, tons of Canadian stuff. The fact they were Canadian meant something. It seemed as though they were people I could know rather than rock gods or whatever.” Dave elaborates on why his collection is such

a Canadian songbook.”I think there are about 7000 records in the collection and a couple thousand CD’s. Vinyl is more in vogue again. There are a couple reasons why. Partially it’s a trend, like a fashion statement and that might pass, the other part is people actually like to have something they can hold on too. The record is the right size. You can sit on your couch and admire the artwork. With a new record you also get a download card (code) so it’s the best of both worlds. I know people who buy the record, put it on the shelf and don’t play it, but they have the download.” Dave tells insightfully. Dave’s collection is partially located between two levels meticulously, upstairs and downstairs. We talk about what turntables he plays is records on? “I have a couple tables, they both sound good. The one upstairs is better quality, it’s from the 1970’s, it’s one of those hard core European tables. The one downstairs sounds fine but it’s just a cheapy, probably from the 80’s. For me I’ve always loved the record.

I’m not super big personally on fidelity, how well it sounds. In the collection there are definite cheapies with a few scratches on them, but they are still listenable. I actually like some of those little scratches, I like a used record, it's got character. Dave was diagnosed with MS a year ago. I wanted to know what music means to him today as opposed to the past. “Music has been a part of my life forever. It was always important in the past. Since my diagnosis I realized; that is why I go to all those shows and listen to this music.” I knew it (Music is therapy and good for your soul), but know I really feel it as well. It lifts you up, it takes you away from the pain or if you’re stressed out. 0041

IN THE GARDEN

Betty Kennett,Resident Green Thumb

GARDEN CENTRES GALORE!!

There is no doubt about it; despite the presence of ravenous deer, the stalwart members of the gardening fraternity seem ever willing to try to beautify their surroundings by purchasing and planting an ever expanding selection of flowers, bushes and trees; the garden centres are bringing in stock that are not often seen in these part, some of it will not over winter, so the buyer needs make sure that the zone that they are in matches with the zone indicated on the plant tag or there will be tears next spring! There is a fair selection of deer repellents on the market and a growing number of potions that gardeners have developed that do a fairly good job; sadly none of these will work on the veggie garden. Salad greens that have been liberally sprayed with concoctions including Murphy Soap Oil and Listerine can really put the damper on supper… so what is a poor

soul to do when the expense of erecting an eight foot fence is beyond their means? GOOD NEWS! Community Gardens are springing up in most communities and well established ones such as the Hampton one, encourages gardeners to grow an extra plot to supply the local Food Basket; along with the joy of being deer free there is an added advantage of working side by side with experienced gardeners who always seem willing to share their knowledge with others. Children are encouraged to join in the project, many flowers can be incorporated into the veggie plot with great advantage, some repel bugs... others collect them for easy capture and dispatch, and still others just make the garden look attractive, great for table decorations as the fruits of your labour are appreciated at meal times. Now that the full moon of June has passed it should be safe to plant almost everything, though care needs to be taken when shopping; plants that seem root bound (bulging out of their containers) are best avoided, or if found irresistible,

should be taken from the pot and set in water for a day with the roots gently teased out before planting. If buying plants from a greenhouse they need to be slowly hardened off; the shock to the system from warm greenhouse to cool earth while sustaining even a brisk breeze can seriously damage the plant....indeed can kill it. So, daily exposure to the outdoors in a sheltered spot and increasing the time spent outside each day will prepare them for life in the garden. If you are in the market for trees, for Heaven’s sake (and for the sake of your roofs, basement walls and plumbing) make sure that the tree you get has enough space to grow to maturity, without causing damage ; check the tag for height and spread, a sugar Maple can grow to a height of 130 ft! Blessings! 0038

MUSINGS

Debbie HickeyPresident, Ossekeag Publishing

INDISPENSABLE?

The dictionary will define indispensable as absolutely necessary, essential. And for sure most of us would like to think of ourselves as indispensable to someone or something. The truth is that as a species we are actually quite adept at “making do”. How often do we substitute ingredients in a recipe because we just don’t happen to have something at hand, or perhaps we aren’t particularly fond of a particular ingredient. I have always made my lasagna without cottage or ricotta cheese simply because I don’t care for it. No one has complained yet (maybe because they didn’t notice). I made a pumpkin pie one Thanksgiving without pumpkin, something one might consider an indispensable ingredient. Not at all. I was fortunate to have lots of squash on hand when I discovered there no pumpkin of

any kind in the house. The pie was a mite paler in colour than usual, but otherwise unremarked. In the process of seeking a new owner for Ossekeag Publishing I have had to consider how “Indispensable” I am to the business. When you get right down to it though, there is very little that is uniquely me to this business. Sure, I am needed to send the payroll and pay the bills, but that is easily transferable. Yes, I am here most days, but the great team around me takes care of most things, not me. It is much like raising your kids. One day you look around and realize that they are largely self-sufficient. Michael has always said that the goal of a good “boss” is to work yourself out of a job. When you have the right people in place and they have the ability and initiative, the boss becomes largely redundant. I am very fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing group that is far more capable and

knowledgeable than I, and who take great pride in what we do. Me? I am the cheerleader and the support person, and sometimes the one that asks odd questions that spark conversation. Indispensable? Not at all. What we do here at Ossekeag Publishing has a little bit of all the personalities of those who have had a hand in it, past and present, and will continue to evolve no matter who is at the helm. As Charles de Gaulle said: “The graveyards are full of indispensable men.” 0002
