RAVINGS by Mike Hickey

LOW HANGING FRUIT

other highly skilled jobs that are paying much higher wages. New Brunswick has been exporting our resources for over 200 years. Our forests now contain roughly half of the wood volume that they once contained. So where is our prosperity from the resources we have extracted?? It costs you, the New Brunswick taxpayer, millions of dollars to give away our forests, while some experts have suggested we should be bringing in around $240 million from our forests!! So when do you think that we are going to get smart and insist on value from our resources. “Over half the world’s supply of American lobster, Homarus americanus, comes from the clear, cold waters of Atlantic Canada.” (see more at: http://atlanticcanadaexports.ca). In exchange, our fisherpeople get $4 or $5 per pound and a New York restaurant might get $30 per pound. We need to insist that raw products should not leave our province. Only finished products should be our goal. It is only when we are world class at adding value to the resources we have that we can even dream of being rich. Straight extraction and export of raw product will only help us be just a little less poor!!! 0001

Because of previous Ravings about fracking and the horrible “Forestry Agreement” some of you may suspect that I am somehow against resource extraction or extensive use of our other natural resources. But that really isn’t true at all. What I am against is HOW we are managing our resource development as “we are getting only the low hanging fruit and leaving a whole lot unpicked”. Take fracking, as an example. The companies working on fracking are not local, the profits won’t stay local, the technology used is not local and probably only the more basic jobs will be available locally. So after many years of success in creating jobs and money, the wells will literally go dry. So the companies leave, and what have we created in the long run?? Are we leaders in fracking technology, do we have a highly skilled workforce that can move into other endeavours. If indeed, there is any environmental damage, major or minor, who gets to live with it. You’re right, us!! Take forestry for example, the bigger operators climb into their harvesters worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, most likely built in Sweden or Japan, while the small operators fire up their Swedish or Japanese chainsaws and while we make hundreds of dollars these foreign companies are making thousands, selling complex equipment worldwide. While we have skilled operators, they have engineers and

ASK THE CHEF by Colin Si� on

WHAT’S IN YOUR CHILIColin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with an answer to your question. This week we had a great debate about the origins of chili and what is a true chili. Does chili contain beans and what kind? Some say that ever since the first person added chili peppers to a stew, chili was born. So is that what makes chili? Some say yes, others say no. History of chili takes us back to the early 19th century on the border between Texas and Mexico. Chuck wagon cooks on cattle drives would make a concoction of meat and vegetables to serve. Problem at that time was no refrigeration. Meat was transported in the heat, bacteria would grow and the meat would become rancid. They would hide the taste with spices. Cooking the stew for a long time with the high acidity of tomatoes would kill the bacteria to a safe enough level. Before refrigeration this was a common practice in many parts of the world. Chili recipes really depend on location;

recipes can be found mainly in Central America and as high as up Kansas. The recipe you have will determine the ingredients and this is where the beans or no beans debate happens. Whether chili comes with garbanzo beans, kidney beans, navy beans or no beans is a regional preference. Here one chili recipe example. The chili peppers are in the chili powder, but it shows how easy it is to change up ingredients to achieve your favourite chili.1 lb meat (course ground chuck or chopped stew meat are preferable to hamburger. Leftover pot roast also works well. Wild meats such as venison, boar, or even rattlesnake make an interesting and tasty alternative).½ c finely chopped onion (I prefer yellow onions).¼ c finely chopped jalapenos.1 clove minced garlic.1 Tbsp good quality chili powder (more/less depending on your taste).1 tsp cumin.½ tsp salt.

½ tsp dried cilantro.½ tsp rosemary.1 15 oz can tomato sauce (I prefer to use just a little less than a full can).½ c beef broth.½ c port wine (alcoholic beverages help cut the bite of hot peppers, and add nice flavoring. Red wine, beer, tequila, and bourbon add distinctive touches. I prefer port for its rich sweetness). Chili is one of those great culinary delights which comes with so many opinions that everyone who makes it, believes they make the best. This conversation has made me think a lot about chili. So much that this month we will be launching a new w i n t e r menu at Holly’s and chili will be one of the new items. Great thing about chili? You can add it to whatever you want! 0040

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS

without the means to be contacted, many cannot afford telephones.4. By having all the boxes made up under one roof, we are able to share the wealth of donations that are delivered to the Food Basket; wonderful knitted goods made by both groups and individuals; gifts of toiletries, sweets and fruit, gifts and toys etc.5. For several years we found that some clients would register at several different outlets causing a very unfair distribution of goods; this has been remedied by registering all medicare numbers with the Christmas exchange where they are cross checked and duplication is eliminated.6. Even as recently as last year, a kindly family insisted on sponsoring a family on their own feeling sure that the family did not register with us and the result was that the sponsored family received from them and from the Food Basket, through no fault of the recipient who was unaware of the sponsorship. Once the basic expenses are paid, the average amount of money available for

food, clothing, school books, toiletries cleaning materials, etc. is $152 per person per month, many have nothing left to live on, many are in debt. We invite you to bring gifts, send donations to our treasurer: Hampton Food Basket, 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton E5N 5B4 and to join with us in preparing at Saint Alphonsus Church Hall on December 19 at 1.00pm and on December 20 to come at any time between 8:00am and 10:30am to fill boxes with good things for those who are desperately in need of some loving care. We guarantee that you will enjoy the fellowship, wonderful snacks and know the truth in Christ’s statement... “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me”. The next preparation day is on November 19 at 8:00am and the Client day is on November 20 from 8:30 until 11:00am. We would very much appreciate gifts of Christmas wrap, ornaments and small re-usable Christmas trees. 0029

The Hampton Food basket is tremendously grateful for the wonderful, heartwarming support that is given by the greater Hampton community; because of this, we are delighted to say that no needy person has ever been denied help in the thirty years since the outreach began. This outreach was started early in 1985 with the mandate to distribute food and goods to those in need, in as equitable way as one possibly could; at one time we did experiment with a system of sponsorship where groups and individuals could provide for a family at Christmas. We very quickly realized that this had serious drawbacks:1. The confidentiality that we seek to maintain was jeopardized.2. The inequity that arose from vastly different ‘basket’ contents.3. The complications that occurred from changes that happen between the time that a client registers for Christmas and the day that we make up the boxes, many move, or lose their telephone system and are therefore

TRAVEL ABROAD OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS

If you have students that like to travel, then this is a great opportunity for them to experience a new culture. On July 8-24, 2015, we are looking for students who would like to visit China at a minimal cost to them. Total cost of the trip $2500 but all those selected to participate will receive a $1000 bursary toward their travel through Atlantic Education International, bringing expenses to $1500 (not including immunization & spending money). Students will spend time at Beijing, Anhui, Changsha & Shenzhen Concord Colleges as well as visit major cultural and historic sites. The program, consisting of classroom instruction, will visit major cultural and historic sites. At the same time, Chinese students will be taking part in an English language program. Activities will be scheduled so that New Brunswick and Chinese students can join together in activities, to reinforce skills in both languages. Students must be 15 years of age as of June 30/15. For more info contact school principals or visit: aei-inc.ca/summercamp. There is an application process and the deadline to apply is December 15, 2014! 3213

DEER HUNTING - SAFETY?

Deer hunting/safe in your backyard? Hampton, Quispamsis and Rothesay Town Councils approved a 2014 Nuisance Deer Control Program for their residents – but is it safe? You could have a bow hunter on your neighbour’s property and not know it until something happens. No one is obligated to tell you that your neighbour has successfully posted his property and can have bowhunters in his backyard. As an example of what can happen – under the law, a hunter who believes he has wounded an animal is obligated to hunt it down and ensure it is killed. That means you can have a bow hunter trespass in your backyard and you cannot prevent it. This has already happened at least once in Hampton. In addition, under the law, a bow hunter cannot discharge his weapon within 100 metres of a dwelling. However, if he is hunting an animal he believes he has wounded, then the 100 metre limit no longer applies. He could legally shoot a wounded animal in your back yard. With the increase in the number of bow hunters in residential areas, you would also expect the risk of an accident occurring to residents to increase – do we know how much? As for next year – another residential bow hunting program is already being planned. If you are not happy with the situation, then you need to let your mayor and your town council know how you feel. Each town website has phone numbers and email addresses you can use. ~ Gordon Gilmore. 3205

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty

I WANT MY CBC

I’ve always loved the CBC and I have the pleasure of being on the CBC’s Information Morning as their music columnist (Take Liberty) bi-weekly here in Saint John with one of my own personal heroes, the Host and Westsider, Hance Colburne. Here is my e-chat with the sharp dressed Hance Colburne about how he got into broadcasting and what some of his favorite songs are? JL - When did you first know you wanted to be a broadcaster?Hance - I was one of those weird kids who were 5, walking around with a tape deck and a microphone. I wanted to be a ghost hunter/on-the-scene reporter - Scooby Doo meets Matthew Halton. I loved talking into a mic, but was terrified of speaking in public. Still kind of am. I realized I wanted to be a broadcast journalist early in my career. I wanted the ability to be creative while also making a difference in the community I lived in,

and I saw that on the journalism side of the business. JL - Who are some of your hero's in the broadcasting field? Hance - It's easy to refer to the biggest names in the industry as influences, but for me, that would be disingenuous. Its local news that shaped my career aspirations the most. This was a time when the local radio station told us when buses were late and schools were cancelled Supper hour newscasts were a place my family would gravitate to... So I was a fan of Jim Nunn on CBC Halifax. Bruce Graham on ATV. On radio it was CBC's Don Connolly. I had the privilege of working with both Jim and Don during my career.JL - What do you love most about being the host of Information Morning in Saint John?Hance - It's the opportunity to speak to so many people about so many different things. I get to learn more about our community than I ever could in any other job. It really is a privilege.

JL - Where do you see your career in the next 10 years? Hance - While the hours are tough, starting people's days with the right combination of news and information to get them up to speed is a job still needed. Radio is as intimate as it ever was, and that's why I love to listen. I hope the audience feels the same way. If there is morning radio in 10 years, I'd like to think I'll be coherent and awake enough to be on it.JL - What are your top 5 favorite songs? (Name artist as well as the song). Hance - My picks are: Frank Sinatra, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning; The Beach Boys, Wouldn't It Be Nice; Blue Rodeo, Bad Timing; Harry Connick Jr., We Make A Lot of Love; Garth B r o o k s , Callin' Baton Rouge. 0041

SUSSEX TOASTMASTERS

An Activity That Improves Your Leadership And Public Speaking Skills: try something new this season and visit Sussex Toastmasters, a club where you “learn-by-doing” and where men and women hone their leadership and speaking skills in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. There is no instructor in a toastmasters club; instead, members conduct the meetings. A typical meeting is broken into three areas: 1. Prepared speeches, where members work in a communication program manual that has a series of 10 speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. 2. Evaluations, which are the cornerstone of Toastmasters and afford the speaker

immediate feedback on what members liked and identifies areas for improvement. 3. Impromptu talks or “thinking on your feet” where a member responds to various topics. Toastmaster members have the opportunity to serve as officers in various leadership roles and learn parliamentary procedure. Best of all, in Toastmasters, you can go at your own pace. Meetings are held every other Wednesday evening at 7:00pm at the Sussex Middle School library.

DEAR EDITOR

I belong to Operation Legacy, which is made up of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and is dedicated to teaching the younger generation about Canada’s military heritage. Remembrance Day is special to me and to Champs across the country, as The War Amps was started by veterans who returned from the First World War missing limbs. They were there to support each other and then passed on their knowledge to amputee veterans returning from the Second World War. They then created the CHAMP Program to assist child amputees like me. Today, CHAMP provides financial assistance for artificial limbs and regional seminars where we can share concerns and advice. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to carry on the torch of remembrance and help ensure the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten. For many years, I have laid a wreath on behalf of Operation Legacy on Remembrance Day. On that day, it is

important to take time and remember those who have lost their lives for the sake of others. Their actions have given people freedom, hope and the will to go on.

Sincerely, Matthew Nutter, 17, Operation Legacy Member, Kingston.

Holiday Shopping& Entertainment

PLANNING FOR A MERRY HOLIDAY SEASON

sk anyone when men go Christmas shopping, and they’ll most likely tell you that they

Christmas shop on Christmas Eve, or maybe the day before that, if they start early. No doubt for some men, this may be true. Maybe it’s the thrill of the last-minute chase, or the hope to get

a great deal and peel off the prices. Others start so early you wanna scratch your head and wonder what they’re doing. We all know that one person who starts squirreling away Christmas presents for next year while February’s snow is falling and New Year’s resolutions are being forgotten and discarded

like the mountains of gift wrap piled under the Christmas tree. Between these two extremes lies your average shopper, the person who realizes in August or early September that even though it seems like Christmas is still a few months away, when you take away all the time spent working, looking aft er home and family, it quickly telescopes down into a short period of available time to get out and accomplish all of that extra shopping. But there are a few things that anyone can do to shop more quickly and effi ciently.

has all year and a cluster of elves to help out. Lists have never been easier, and have never been more handy. Gone are the days of rifl ing through pockets for crumpled lists that are lost in another pair of jeans most likely in a laundry pile destined for the washing machine. No more do we have to worry about losing an important list hidden in a plethora of unimportant receipts, likely tucked into the bottom of a purse. Our smart phone, and even some “regular” cell phones have great memo programs built in, complete with the ability to produce wonderful, time saving spreadsheets. Take a minute to download one of the better note-taking apps (Google Docs, Evernote) and you can sync your notes to your desktop computer as well. If you want to save time

this holiday season, write that down on your list, better yet, type it.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS

wrong with money or the possession of money. In fact, I believe money can be the root of much good. It depends on how the money is used. Many people in Hampton have donated money to the less fortunate people who live in Piggs Peak - the students who want to go to school more than anything in the world; the gogos who want nothing more than healthy grandchildren with an opportunity for a better future. In doing so, Hampton donors have actually provided blessings to our

Swazi neighbours. Lunga Mamba, a student at Fudukuwela High School, says “God blessed me with you to come to my school to offer me the opportunity of education”. We are fortunate. We are wealthy. And we can use our wealth and good fortune to bless the less fortunate. In doing so, we will receive blessings in return. If you would like to make a donation to the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership, contact me, Mark Bettle, at 832-0003 or [email protected]. On Saturday, November 22, we will be having a Potluck for Piggs Peak at the Lighthouse River Centre, 1075 Main Street, Hampton. Bring your favourite dish to share and any non-alcoholic drinks you would like. For families, singles, and couples, a suggested minimum donation of $20 would be much appreciated. Dinner starts at 5:30pm and from 7:30-9:30 musical entertainment will be provided by “Jim Blewett and the Swing Cats”. All profits will be used to pay school fees in Piggs Peak. For information call Partnership committee member, Sue Hooper, at 832-7584. 0010

In my last article, I shared excerpts from letters written by students in Piggs Peak that contained blessings for their supporters in Hampton. It got me thinking about “blessings”. I have often heard people say “we are blessed”, usually in the context of our ability to enjoy the advantages and comforts that come from living in an affluent society. I am always troubled by this because the implication, although probably not intended, is that those less prosperous than us are NOT blessed. In other words, God is giving us preferential treatment over people who are disadvantaged, poor and suffering… like the people in Piggs Peak. I don’t believe that for a minute. I believe we are “fortunate” - lucky to have been born in a part of the world where there is abundant wealth and plentiful resources. But being wealthy is different than being blessed. Does having wealth mean that we are not blessed? I don’t think so. Some say that money is the root of all evil. But the actual quotation is “the LOVE of money is a root of all kinds of evil”. Wealth is morally neutral; there is nothing

SJ & AREA SCHOOL STRING PROGRAM

Beginning Violin Lessons: The Saint John and Area School String Program is starting a beginning violin class in January 2015 and this class is open to any student in the Anglophone South School District. The normal starting age is grade 3, but older students may also join. The lessons will be held once a week at Havelock School in West Saint John. The tentative lesson time will be Thursdays from 6:15-7:00pm starting on Thursday January 8, 2015. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from Havelock School and to provide their child with an instrument. There are a number of very reasonably priced instrument rental options available. There is a small annual registration fee to belong to the String Program. All interested parents of Anglophone South school students are asked to attend one of the information meetings: Meeting #1 - Tuesday, November 25 at 7:00pm, Havelock School; Meeting #2 - Wednesday, December 3 at :00pm,

Havelock School. Havelock school is located at 520, Young Street in West Saint John. (If school is cancelled due to winter weather on either of the meeting dates, that meeting will be rescheduled to Thursday, December 4 at 7:00pm Havelock School.) Please bring your child to the meeting, if possible, to be measured for the correct instrument size. If you have a violin already, we would be happy to check it's size and condition at the meeting. Playing a stringed instrument is ideal for those students who would thrive on extra stimulation and academic challenge. It does require a significant amount of work from the students and supervision of home practice by the parents. 3217

PHOTOGRAPHY FULL CIRCLE

Even though it's considered obsolete, vintage even, by technology standards, I don't have the heart to throw it away. When I received it as a graduation gift from my parents, I had no idea it would be the start of my lifelong love of photography. It was a Pentax K1000 35mm film camera – shiny, new and all mine! When I started college a short time later, my trusty camera went with me. Over the next two years, I learned the importance of aperture, ISO and shutter speed. I'm pretty sure every tree, building, flower and student within a two mile radius of that campus was photographed at one time or another. There was no “auto” anything then – everything was done manually. From loading the film to focusing and proper exposure, there were no shortcuts. I loved the challenge of developing film, making

prints and looking for the next unlikely subject. Then, life happened. Pentax was right there with me for several more years, as I worked days, nights and weekends, shooting everything from basketball games and school concerts to grip and grin cheque presentations and hockey. It survived freezing temperatures, snow storms, pouring rain and being dropped (more than once). When digital technology took over, I upgraded to a Nikon Coolpix 990. Did I mention I still have that historic gem too? Somewhere along the way, though, photography stopped being fun for me. So, I tucked my cameras away for a long time. Then, in 2011, an award and substantial cash prize from my former employer changed all that. The instant I received this unexpected gift, I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on – a new camera. My Canon would be a huge step up from that film camera and 3.2 megapixel digital with 4x digital zoom.. When I picked up my new “baby” for

the first time, it was love at first sight. And, well, she's been with me ever since. I don't leave home without her and she's helped me get back into and truly enjoy photography again. These days, though, I have traded in cold rinks and concerts for time spent with families, babies, graduates and newlyweds. My passion for photography has come full circle, and I'm grateful that I'm back to doing what I love the most – capturing milestones and special moments for people. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have f o r g o t t e n everything.”- Aaron Siskind. 0032

Maritime works include: String Quartet No. 2, composed by St. Francis Xavier University professor Anthony Genge; Subway Thoughts by the late Saint John-born Eldon Rathburn; Fantasia on Themes of Beethoven by Fredericton composer Michael Miller; and Pastorale by Darlings Island composer Richard Kidd. Martin Kutnowski, a professor at St. Thomas University, is featured with three works: Selections from ‘Watercolours for Ten Fingers,’ Peter Emberley’s Dream and Five Argentinean Folk Pieces. Little Suite for String Quartet by the late Torontonian composer Talivaldis Kenins rounds out the album – which contains a mix

One year in heaven,One year you’ve been there,So far away,

Someday I’ll see you in the air,One year in heaven,I miss you so much,Smile down upon me,And show me your love.

One year in heaven,It seems like so long,Since the last time I saw you,And then you were gone,One year in heaven,You left earth too soon,But I know they need you,More then I do,

One year in heaven,I’m alone on the earth,I miss your sweet kisses,And all that you’re worth,One year in heaven,Is God really there?Why did he take you,As I cried in despair.

One year in heaven,I still see your face,The day that you took,The last breath you would take,

One year in heaven,Why did you die,I know God needed you,But still I cry.

One year in heaven,Soon I’ll be there,So wait by the gate,Please, this do swear,One year in heaven,To me it is long,But you have no pain,From this earth you have gone.

One year in heaven,It’s so hard to move on,I’ll send you a prayerAnd sing you a song,One year in heaven,Life’s not the same,Since you left this world,I’m living in a daze.

One year in heaven,You watch from above,Sit there and smile,And send me your love,One year in heaven,You may think it’s just a day,But this world is so different,Since God took you away.Poem by: Michele Weston

MUSINGS by Debbie Hickey

COMMUNITY CLASSIFIEDS

WHAT’S IN A NAME

A few days ago I had a conversation with my 8 year old granddaughter on nicknames. This was sparked because her mother has several friends with names that do not seem to derive from their given names. Some nicknames are fairly obvious, whether from a physical trait (Red) or a personality trait (Sunny), but many are mysteries known only to a few. Mine for instance. For a number of years in my teens and 20’s I was “Jo”. Absolutely nothing to do with my given name, not even a middle name, but there is of course a story as to how I became Jo. I was never particularly interested in learning to cook or bake as a kid. Much rather be outdoors or curled up with a book than working in the kitchen.

(Actually in our old farmhouse it would be in the pantry that the work took place, but we won’t quibble on the details.) Anyway, at some point in my mid/late teens my mother was not home and I decided to make apple turnovers, without having any clue that pastry was often a challenge for accomplished cooks let alone a total novice. The pastry looked fine, but was a mite (okay more than a mite) tough. My brother and boyfriend promptly christened it Debbie-Dough and had plans to use it to retread tires. So I became Debbie-Dough (Debbie-Do), later Debbie-Jo and eventually just Jo. I did eventually tackle pastry again, but not for many years (I was always more interested in the eating than the preparing). When my mother (who is a GREAT cook) asked me for my pastry recipe I knew I was finally there! And

a few years ago when my mother-in-law (bless her heart) chastised her son (the infamous Mikie) for criticizing my Rhubarb-Custard Pie (a Hickey family recipe), even Michael admitted I made a pretty decent pie. The secret is that I finally found a recipe that worked for me every time, one that uses lard rather than shortening. I will post it to our website for anyone who wants to give it a try. “Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.” ~ Jim Davis. 0002

One year in heaven,It seems like so long,Since the last time I saw you,And then you were gone,One year in heaven,You left earth too soon,But I know they need you,More then I do,

One year in heaven,I’m alone on the earth,I miss your sweet kisses,And all that you’re worth,One year in heaven,Is God really there?Why did he take you,As I cried in despair.

One year in heaven,I still see your face,The day that you took,The last breath you would take,

One year in heaven,Why did you die,I know God needed you,But still I cry.

One year in heaven,Soon I’ll be there,So wait by the gate,Please, this do swear,One year in heaven,To me it is long,But you have no pain,From this earth you have gone.

One year in heaven,It’s so hard to move on,I’ll send you a prayerAnd sing you a song,One year in heaven,Life’s not the same,Since you left this world,I’m living in a daze.

One year in heaven,You watch from above,Sit there and smile,And send me your love,One year in heaven,You may think it’s just a day,But this world is so different,Since God took you away.Poem by: Michele Weston
