“ARTHUR”

I have taken some time to think about the tropical storm “Arthur” and what it means to us here in Southern New Brunswick. Observation 1: We will almost certainly get worse storms in the future. Observation 2: Invest your retirement savings into generator manufacturers, and then support them by buying a generator or two, because you are going to need them. Observation 3: Power lines and trees (especially big and old trees) do not go well together!! New Brunswick is just chock full of power lines and even more trees (think billions) and NB Power will never, ever be able to clear trees away from all power lines anytime in this century. Most native tree species mature at somewhere around 70 feet in height, meaning that mature trees within 60 feet or so of either side of a hydro line have the potential to bring that line down. You can double the distance to about 120 feet if the mature tree is a white pine.Observation 4: New Brunswickers need to decide do we value electricity over stately trees. As a tree lover, that is a tough one!! As Debbie recently noted, I removed three or four trees (fortunately early succession birch and white spruce), that were soon going to be a threat to our power line into the house. Cutting trees down before they are a threat has two

benefits. First, I believe we are much less attached to 15 foot trees than 60 footers. Secondly, reasonably competent amateurs can safely remove 15 footers, but a 60 footer with heavy limbs near power lines is a job that should be attempted only by professionals. Observation 5: I don’t know how many trees we lost throughout New Brunswick, but it is estimated that 4,000 trees were down in Fredericton alone. It is likely that hundreds and possibly thousands of cords of wood were brought down and much of it high quality mature trees. Since this scenario will be occurring again and again, we need to figure out how to maximize the value of this lost resource. Simply chipping and composting or landfilling valuable material is a huge waste. Observation 6: Do we really want our power lines to be safe from trees??? Call 1-800 “big forest companies” our local experts in clear cutting!!! 0001

mAIDeN VoYAGe

When we arrived at the mouth of the Belleisle Bay for what would be my first kayaking adventure, I really had no idea what to expect. I'd paddled a canoe many times, but always imagined kayaks being the more unstable of the two, and guaranteed to dump me into the water the moment I set foot in it. Even scarier than that, my maiden voyage would be witnessed by my husband and about 30 members of the Belleisle Bay iYAK'ers group. This is the Facebook group started by Mike Sherwood and whose regular kayak adventures were chronicled with fun stories and photos, and I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I was so curious, in fact, that I gave up my “Sleep-In Sunday” routine for it. As we unloaded all the kayaks and carried them to our entry point in the bay, I was still feeling a little uncertain

(and not quite awake). Recent rains had left the shoreline muddy, so I got to be a kid for a moment. I kicked off my flip-flops and let the mud squish between my toes. After Mike went over all the safety rules and showed me just how high tech this kayak really was (air seats, foot pegs?), it was the moment of truth. I stepped in, I sat down, and – nothing. The kayak swayed ever so slightly, until I was comfortably positioned, had my paddle in hand, and was pushed off from the shore. Then, I felt it. I'd been in this bright red Canadian-made kayak for all of five minutes and I knew I was hooked. As we slowly paddled across the calm blue water of the Belleisle Bay, in search of the safest entry point into Belleisle Creek, it was beautiful, and oh-so-peaceful. Once in the creek, the trees and low hanging branches closed in around us, as we were met by the calls of local birds and ducks. As I paddled along

the shoreline, I felt a sense of peace and serenity that not even a quiet walk along the beach could match. Despite the fact that many other kayakers were out on the water with us that day, it felt like I was floating alone, with only the sounds of nature as my company. After a quick stop for some fishing, conversation and a bonfire lunch, we circled back the same way we came. I stopped paddling many times, just to hear the silence, photograph a mother duck with her ducklings and marvel at the beauty that surrounds us. All too soon, our adventure was over and I was already looking forward to the next one. Something Mike said stayed with me that day. “Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a kayak, and that's pretty darned close.” I tried, I loved and I will buy – now to decide which colour! If you have any comments, or have an idea for a future column, I'd love to hear from you. My e-mail is [email protected]. 0032

LISTeN IN by Jeff liberty

HIp Hop IN THe poRT CITY

Last year I was a judge for a big singing competition in the city and I was so impressed with one artist/contestant in particularly, Kyle Wills, AKA Wilz. Kyle ended up winning the contest that included $10,000 in cash. Kyle is your ultimate entertainer, a smooth operator on the stage who engages the crowd, raps like nobody’s business and writes his own incredible rhymes. Through Kyle I started to delve into the local hip hop scene and this is what I learned. Jeff - How did you first become interested in hip hop music? Wilz - -Originally, I was a B-boy (Break dancer). That tale is a whole different story. I befriended a group of dudes on the West Side that called themselves “Foot Clan”. They were a rap group, and I was their “Little Dancer Henchman”. “Gorgeous Geordie”, one of the lead members, along with “DJ Higga”; showed me how easy

it was to create synthetic instrumentals and record your voice over them. I quickly studied rappers like Eminem, Big Punn, Notorious BIG and D12. I taught myself a writing structure and began to practice my craft. I made a DEMO CD in grade 9 and sold 100 copies at school. I grew from there. Jeff - Hey I used to break dance! Was there a hip hop community/scene in the greater SJ area when you got started? Tell me about the scene. Wilz - As for the local hip hop scene... for what little love we DID have... it was better in those days. Typically it was “Foot Clan” and other artists like “Phakt” , “Napz Meka” & “Nostic” that would put underground shows together. The turnout wasn’t always the best, but the energy and passion was there with people who did come. Sometimes the shows were very successful. The community became a competition, rather than a family. Today, there is not much support for Hip Hop in our city. Jeff - Who are some of the artists that stand out for you? Why do they stand out? Wilz - There are artists that GENUINELY stand out to me and there are artists that

TECHNICALLY stand out to me. I could list a few emcee’s that are EXTREMELY talented with the all around art form of rap; “Justin rent” , “Jamie Comeau” , “States” , “Nostic”. Then there are artists who are either in good positions, or understand the “grind”. “Tha Capital E” is being one of them. “E” got a role in a successful movie called “Phantoms”. From there he got a taste of the life and moved to Toronto to pursue his acting/rapping career. Jeff - Where can we find your music? Thanks Wilz! Wilz - THE WEBSITE! All for free! I do not sell my music because I would hate to lose possible multiple listeners because someone isn’t willing to spend $10 on my album. I’d much rather have them listening and showing their friends. www.WilzMusic.com. 0041

Both the snowblower and the sardine can were invented in New Brunswick. Robert Carr Harris from Dalhousie, invented the snowblower in 1870. Henry T. Austin of Black’s Harbour invented the sardine can in 1932.

It was Th e Ganong Brothers Ltd. who were the fi rst to produce lollipops in North America.

New Brunswick still has 59 covered bridges. Th e longest covered bridge is in Hartland, but the Sussex area has the greatest density and is known as the covered bridge Capital of Atlantic Canada.

IN THe GARDeN by betty kennett

THe moRe YoU SNIp, THe moRe YoU SAVoUR!

This is quite the busiest time of the year for a job that is neither arduous nor requiring great skill; one from which the resulting dividends are truly amazing. Deadhead season is at its peak and to get the longest blooming season possible one needs to deadhead daily. I prefer to do this in the early morning when the spent blooms are heavy with dew; by removing them then, the emerging buds are free to soak up the sun and strut their stuff in the most approved fashion. Chief among these at this time of year is the need to attend to the German Iris, they will need cleaning up and this is the best time to do a bit of dividing and conquering! These glorious plants frequently harbour a disgusting grub that will gladly demolish a whole cluster of helpless Iris. The best defence against them is ATTACK! By digging up the whole clump, cutting down the stems that produced flowers at their roots one can

then separate the individual units; once this is done, the rhizomes can be easily inspected and the hideous Iris borer within it can be dispensed with a quick snap of the secateurs. All dubious looking bits should be cut out and the leaves reduced to about 8”, it pays to leave them out in the air, away from scorching sun, for at least half a day before replanting, making sure to leave a fair bit of the rhizome open to the sun. The garden centres are offering their wares at much reduced prices and the market should afford some pretty decent perennials, some already past their blooming time but possibly a good investment for next year. Most of these bargains are likely to be root bound by now, yet can be quickly redeemed by removing them from their pots and letting them sit in a bucket of water for a few hours. Once they have soaked up a tidy drink, their root systems needs to be teased out a bit, some will break off and that’s OK. A hole the depth of the pot that the plant was in and twice as wide, needs to have a good dollop of compost mixed

with a fair dash of bone meal mixed with the earth in the bottom and you are in business. Unless Mother Nature supplies a daily watering, there will be a need to provide some for at least the first week, by then the plant should be on its way rejoicing, as you will next spring when it shoots into life again. Nature often has a way of providing benefits from seeming disasters, Arthur’s vicious winds have felled a great number of trees and if we are to be proactive regarding future potential storm damage, many more must fall. I have seven destined for the chop; yet though it grieves me to see a magnificent tree fall, the thought of all the lovely sunlight that will soon be available for future flower gardens, has me more excited than my pocketbook is prepared for! Here’s to abundant floral displays... Blessings. 0038 Betty Kennett,

Resident Green Thumb

FReSH WITH FooD by dave wolpin

UGLY beAUTIeS

I want to use my situation to make a point about the economy of food in both an economical and anthropological sense. Earlier this month, Kredl's new web manager started work on a number of new changes to make content more accessible and useful. One of his new initiatives is to redesign my weekly e-newsletter and create a separate email, which advertises our specials. It has a typical format to other grocery stores with a picture of the product along side the price. When I saw last week's specials notice sent out, a thought popped into my head and the wheels started turning. Sarah, Kredl's GM, commented about the look of the green peppers in the stock photo chosen, opioning that they looked as they should, slightly imperfect. This was along side the photos of the other specials, which all looked unnaturally perfect. Her comment completed my thought process. Why are we conforming to the rest of the

grocery world? Kredl's is supposed to be stepping outside of the norm; We want to totally redefine the idea of grocery stores. Why are we putting perfect pictures next to specials just like every other grocery store, just like every fast food franchise with their perfect looking burgers and with their perfectly stacked subs. They never actually look like that! I looked at our pomegranates and thought, they look good, but not like the picture. Fueling a social fetish with perfect looking food is not in my mandate. And to be honest, I feel like this obsession is a part of our deep-rooted social inability to be satisfied with our own image. Intermarché, France's third largest grocery store, has started a new initiative. They sell ugly produce, branded "inglorious fruits and vegetables" at a reduced cost, saving thousands of tons of beautifully grotesque produce that tastes perfect, but would normally end up as waste. The store traffic increased on average by 24%. If you google it, you'll find a great promotional video. Local markets

and farmers do this all the time. There are also groups that I have heard about in BC that sell rejected food and also supply food banks and soup kitchens. LifeCycles Fruit Tree Project is a great example everyone should read about. We want to properly represent the products we are selling without stock photography and without photoshop. Can we find a nice bunch of grapes to photograph or a nice bunch of carrots, YES! But we are not going to fuel the perfectly purple pomegranate fascination and the never crooked carrot craziness. 0039

ASK THe CHeF by Colin sift on

SToRING SAFeLY

Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and catering to some answers to questions never asked but should be answered. This past month we were hit by a tropical storm that left a lot of people without power. Here at Holly’s, we lost power for four full days and when we returned all the food in the fridge and freezer needed to be thrown out. I am sure that some of you at home had the same problem. I was asked why waste all that food? It doesn’t look bad. Well, looks can be deceiving. As a Chef, we are held to rules that need to be followed because we serve the public. Failure to follow these rules can cause severe illness and possible death. It is not worth the risk not to follow these rules and even though it cost us a lot to replace everything, it still out waded the potential of any of our guests getting sick. There is something we call the danger zone. This is when food is kept above 4 degrees celsius or less than 60 degrees celsius. This is where bacteria grows. It takes a lot of bacteria to cause symptoms, but the bacteria doubles every minute. After four hours in the danger

zone, most food that needs to be refrigerated is now poison. Here are a few of the food born bacterias we deal with at home and here at the restaurant. Salmonella: Most commonly found in poultry. It is transmitted through raw or uncooked eggs, poultry, meat, raw milk, dairy products and seafood. The symptoms include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, chills and fever. It will appear well after eating, taking 6 to 48 hours to show symptoms and will last up to 2 days. If you feel sick after eating or leaving a restaurant, chances are it is not Salmonella but maybe something else. Always good to get checked out if symptoms appear. Streptococcus A: Found in noses, throats, pus, sputum, blood, and stools of humans. This is why it is always important to wash your hands after returning from the bathroom. Transmission is people-to-food from poor hygiene, ill food handlers, or improper food handling; outbreaks from raw milk, ice cream, eggs, lobster, salads, custard, and pudding allowed to stand at room temperature for several hours between preparation and eating. There are many

symptoms for Streptococcus A, such as sore and painful throat. Listeria: This is found in the intestinal tract of humans and animals, milk, soil, leaf vegetables and processed foods. Listeria grows quickly in the danger zone. It is transmitted in soft cheese, raw milk, leafy vegetables, meat and poultry. Symptoms are fever, chills, backache, cramps and diarrhea. Symptoms will start 12 hours to 3 weeks after ingestion and can lead to more serious illness if not dealt with. These are just a few of the foodborne bacterias that we work hard to prevent. I was thinking of all the people with their fridges down, but also those who go camping and don’t always follow the rules. Maybe it wasn’t that you drank too much that weekend. Maybe you didn’t follow the rules and your food was in the danger zone too long causing a food born illness. 0040

Grieving is an individual process. Many factors enter into making it so. Personality styles, previous losses, coping mechanisms, age, gender, atti tudes, social support, religion and the relati onship with the deceased all play an important part in the way one grieves. We can mistakenly assume that we are doing bett er than others or more poorly if we make comparisons. Of course there are common denominators such as the host of intense emoti ons connected with bereavement. We know discussing these factors with others who have had a similar experience can be very therapeuti c. Keep in mind that the way we respond to loss is not comparable to the way of another. Remember there is no right or wrong way to grieve, just diff erent ways.

Remember your grief is truly unique and cannot be compared to the grief of another person.

HAmpToN-pIGGS peAK NeWS

It was 10 years ago that Neil Scott died. Those of you who have lived in the Hampton area for some time will no doubt remember Neil. Perhaps you were a student at Hampton Elementary School where Neil was the principal for the first part of his career. Or maybe you remember him from the University of New Brunswick in Saint John where he was an Associate Professor of Education after earning his Ph.D at the University of Alberta. Neil was also a devoted member of Hampton United Church and was involved in numerous community activities in Hampton. I personally remember Neil as a fervent supporter of social justice and universal human rights. I always had enormous respect for Neil’s essential goodness. In Swaziland they would say Neil exhibited “Ubuntu” which is often translated as "humanity towards others," but is also used in a more philosophical sense to mean "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity”. On July 17, the anniversary of Neil’s death, we received an email from his wife, Anne. Anne said “it was very clear

to me this morning that I would make a donation to an educational cause in his memory. I decided to make the donation to the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership.” Anne’s extremely generous donation in Neil’s memory will be a huge boost to our Starfish program

and our efforts to provide education to the young people in Swaziland. In keeping with Anne’s wishes, we will also contribute a portion of the funds to the Grandmother Partnership. Anne closed with some very kind and encouraging words: “Thank you for all you do to continue promoting the partnership. It could so easily become merely embers; instead, the partnership flames high in the hearts of Hamptonians!” Thank you, Anne, for this wonderful tribute to Neil’s life! It is because of you, and supporters like you, that the spirit of Ubuntu thrives in Hampton and its fire keeps burning. On another note, make sure you mark Saturday, August 16 in your calendar as the date for the sixth annual Concert by the Creek in Blair Boudreau’s backyard on St Andrew’s Street. I cannot emphasize enough what a fantastic event this is. For me it is the highlight of the year and I highly recommend you drop in to see what will surely be some amazing musical performances.

Harmony, Inc., the association of women barbershop singers recently held its Area 1 Convention and Contest in Sackville. Sea Belles' Chorus of SJ ranked second among the choruses from across Atlantic Canada. Sea Belles scored highest in the Presentation category and qualified with five other Atlantic Harmony choruses for the International Competition and Contest being held in Louisville, Kentucky in November. Sea Belles' quartet Nova Quattro placed second among Atlantic quartets and also qualified for the International event. Nova Quattro was awarded the Kathryn Ryan Memorial Trophy for the quartet with the most improvement in score from the previous year. It is the 25th anniversary of Kathryn Ryan, a former Sea Belle who passed away in 1988. The award was presented by her husband Aubrey, who described Kathryn 's extensive barbershop experience beginning with Sea Belles in the 1960's, going on to sing with many Harmony, Inc. choruses and 17 quartets in her lifetime, as well starting two other Atlantic choruses. She returned to SJ later in life, rejoining Sea Belles. Sea Belles will resume practice in early September, meeting every Tuesday evening at 7:00pm at Forest Hills School. New members are always welcome. For more information on Sea Belles' Chorus, contact [email protected], seabelles.ca or chorus facebook page. 2967

CHILDReN & SLeep ApNeA

People with obstructive sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly through the night because their throat closes off on them. Young children can have sleep apnea too. Pediatric sleep apnea can be caused by facial bone structure, nasal congestion or blockage, allergies and obesity. However, large tonsils and large adenoids are most often the culprits that cause this serious disorder in children. The diameter of a child’s throat is so small to begin with, any enlarged structure there within can easily narrow it further. You may recall a time when you have had swollen tonsils with a sore throat and awoken in the morning knowing that you snored badly the night before because of it. Some children do this every night because of their naturally large tonsils and adenoids. Tonsils and adenoids are structures made of lymphatic tissue that help remove harmful bacteria and other waste from our system. Tonsils are

located at the back of the throat, one on each side. Adenoid tissue is located behind the nose above the soft palate. Tonsils can be viewed protruding at the back of the throat in varying degrees in some individuals. In children with very large tonsils, they can be called “kissing tonsils” as they can actually touch each other. When this happens during sleep, it causes as obstruction in their throat and they can stop breathing. Chronic mouth breathers may have enlarged adenoid tissue. Chronic infections of these areas can cause enlargement and vice versa, meaning the child could very well be suffering from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea in children is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. They usually do not share a room or a bed and when the apneas are happening, the rest of the household is usually asleep as well. Symptoms of sleep apnea in children can include heavy snoring, witnessed apneas, odd sleep positions, restlessness in bed and frequent movements, difficulty getting them up in the morning, behavior and learning disorders, and poor

school performance. These children are sometimes misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The treatment for children with OSA is usually removal of the offending lymphatic tissue. If you suspect that your child has OSA, visit your doctor. Having a recording of the child while sleeping may be helpful. They may send you to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor or order a sleep test at a sleep lab. This is a serious disorder that affects children’s and families lives negatively. It needs attention and treatment so that your child can get on with the business of being a well-rested and healthy kid! 0047

I often wonder if what I see is what you see. Is what I call green look the same for you as it does for me? Why is this particular shade of green more pleasing to me than that shade? For that matter, why do we have colour preferences at all? Do they mean anything? What do other critters around us see? I have actually done a little digging on that one, because my granddaughter asked whether our dog can see colours. Turns out dogs, cats, mice, rats and rabbits have very poor color vision, seeing mostly greys and some blues and yellows. So there is some colour in their worlds, but not a lot. Other animals such as monkeys, ground squirrels, birds, insects, and many fish see more colour (although not as much as humans). But we don’t have the best colour vision on the planet. Bees and butterflies can see colors into the ultraviolet range. Apparently for them, the plants have

special ultraviolet patterns which guide the insects deep into the flower. Cool. Beyond how we physically see the world, does our ability to live in colour affect who we are? I wear bright colours on a dull day to insert some energy into my day that the gray world is zapping. Why then does fashion persist in dark colours for winter, when we need the energy most, and use the energetic bright colours in summer? Surely that seems counter to common sense. The question of colour also came up recently when that same grand grand-daughter was picking a colour to paint her room. A few years ago, researchers at the University of British Columbia studied the effect of color on students who completed detail-oriented and creative tasks on computer screens with different coloured background colors. Detail-oriented assignments such as memory tasks or proofreading were more accurate when using a red background,

but the students did better on tasks that called for imagination and creativity with blue backgrounds. What influence will the aqua green shade she chose have on her for the next few years? My favourite colours are not the same now as they were in my twenties, or even my forties. Why not? Why does it matter if the ketchup is red or green? Is it simply because it is familiar, or is there something else going on? Enough musing, I am going home and have some plump red strawberries! “Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. ” ~ Oscar Wilde. 0002
