HEALTHCARE

So this morning “The Jet” had his annual checkup. As expected, he was perfect, despite the vet noting a bit of weight gain. But, as she explained “he is a big boy” and no dietary restrictions have been ordered. I think I will, however, cut him back a bit since he is just now entering apple season. Now, you wouldn’t think that a dog would have ever heard of the saying “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”. But “The Jet” eats apples as if he never wanted to see the vet again, but that just isn’t true. The only time that “The Jet” ever sees a leash is when he is going to the vet, but this morning when I pulled out the leash that he hadn’t seen in a year , he actually got excited. He loves going to the vet. Between some doggie treats and being treated like a rock star, he is in doggie heaven. So I ask all you pet owners this question. Does your visit with your doctor even come close to being as smooth, as easy and as enjoyable as your pet’s visit to the vet. And so, I ask once again, “why is it that pets can, by and large get faster smoother health care than people”?? The first obvious reason is that people care is socialized

and free, while pet care is private sector and costs money. Now, before anyone gets all wild, I am well aware that the the US healthcare system is still largely private sector and is by far the most expensive in the world and only delivers mediocre results compared to the best in the world. But, I still believe that there must be ways to either integrate the private sector into our healthcare system or generate more business-like practices. I realize that some people have a distrust for the private sector in delivering certain essential services such as healthcare or drinking water, but please realize, while your heart surgeon may not be private sector, virtually every single piece of equipment that is used will be a product of the private sector. Your surgeon may be great but I would bet that if your heart machine was to stop working midway through a transplant procedure then the surgeon is unlikely to be successful. Quality and efficiency in virtually anything can be produced by the private sector given the right incentives. Just something to think about. 0001

PRE-HEATING

Colin Sifton here, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering, with another answer to your question: When should pans be preheated before cooking and how can I tell if they’re hot enough? It really depends on what you are cooking but for the most part, all pans should be preheated as well as ovens. Putting cold food into a cold pan and letting them heat up together tends to make your product sweat and will not give you the desired outcome. When frying meat, chicken or fish you will need a very hot pan. By cooking in a preheated pan with a small amount of oil, you will seal your product, trapping in all the juices and flavours which gives you a proper product. If you add any of these to a cold pan, you will see moisture beginning to appear in your pan. This has come from your meat and it has now made it less moist as well as more tough: two things you

never want out of the main ingredient of your meal. There is a really easy way to tell if your pan is hot enough. We call it the smoke point. This is when the oil in the pan just begins to smoke. This is the point where the oil begins to break down and will not get any hotter. All oils have a different smoke point. Canola oil has a smoke point of 200 degrees C, where extra light olive oil is about 242 degrees C and is better for you. The oil right now that has the highest smoke point is avocado oil at 271 degrees C. You should never cook in butter, even though everyone does. The smoke point of butter is 177 degrees C but the bigger problem is that butter has milk solids as well as oil and these milk solids burn before your food is ready and some studies has shown that it may cause cancer. If you like cooking with butter, may I suggest microwaving the butter first to separate the oil from the milk solids and then use the oil to cook with.

Your oven should also be preheated for the same reasons as the pans. If you start with a cold product in a cold oven not only are you going to lose moisture and tenderness, but it will take longer for your oven to come to temperature. If you are following a timed recipe, this will no longer be accurate. I know a lot of people do not take the time to preheat as it takes time to coordinate the next step in your preparation, but try it and I promise you will see a difference in the end product, more compliments on your meal and a healthier meal for your family. 0040

SHS REUNION UPDATE

The Sussex High School Class of ‘54 Reunion was held on Saturday, August 2 at the Fairway Inn/JJ’s restaurant. Some came from as far away as Florida as well as St. Stephen, Plaster Rock, Saint John, Moncton and Kings County. There were several who expressed their regret and disappointment in not being able to attend, for health and other reasons. A delicious Canadian/Chinese Buffet, along with a Reunion cake, was

enjoyed. We were entertained before and after our buffet supper by Sandra Alston and Mabel (alias, Sandra) who was introduced by Shirley Seymour. Carl Steeves expressed words of appreciation and thanks to the organizing committee. Thank you, Joan D, for my pretty corsage. Some funny stories were shared and then it was time for us to say farewell until we meet again.Submitted by Anne Candy. 3074

A Toast to the Landowners – “A Balloonist’s Friend”

Proud to support the 29th Annual Balloon Fiesta

Ballooning is called THE CHAMPAGNE SPORT, a tradition that spans two

centuries. On August 27th, 1783, Professor J.A.C. Charles launched the first hydrogen gas balloon before a crowd in Paris. Deemed a success, the unmanned 12-foot diameter sphere rose into the sky and floated out of sight.

Somewhere along its journey, it

rose so high that expanding gas tore a seam in its envelope and plummeted to earth in the region of Gonesse, terrifying the peasants! The ‘demon from the clouds’ lay writhing on the ground emitting a foul odor as the remaining hydrogen sulfide gasses escaped.

Fearing for their lives, the villagers quickly summoned the parish priest to dispatch the demon. When this formula failed to work, they took matters into their own hands and attacked the monster!

Charles got word of the strange visitation at Gonesse and upon his arrival did his best to convince the villagers that the ‘monster’ was in fact a scientific machine. To allay

their fears Charles brought forth champagne intended to celebrate the event.

To this day, balloonists traditionally carry a bottle of champagne and at journey’s end share a toast with the owner of the property. In this fashion ballooning became known

The Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta would like to thank the landowners of Sussex and surrounding area. We know that we are privileged to have balloons fly in this area, which is dependent on your

trust and cooperation. Hospitality and concern for your property are key elements in establishing a confident relationship. We look forward to seeing you again during the Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta.

A White Light Tradition

During the Balloon Fiesta many farmers roll out the white carpet for the Balloonists who are looking for a place to land. If you would like to make your field accessible for balloonists to land in you can place a white sheet or a large white x on the field to let balloonist know that they can land their balloon in your field. What a great photo opportunity!

If you don’t have a field but want to join in the fun you can decorate your house and trees with white christmas light to welcome the balloonists and travellers alike to the Sussex area.

Did You Know? That David Hempleman Adams Took off from Sussex to make the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean in an open balloon. Eighty-three hours later he landed in Blackpool England and landed his achievement in the history books.

IN THE GARDEN by betty kennett

Betty Kennett,Resident Green Thumb

FALL FROSTS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER -

BE PREPARED!

With the beneficial rains that we have enjoyed throughout the gardening season, the bounty of vegetables has been impressive; if we are to get the greatest reward for all the toil that has been put into growing them we need to be harvesting and storing before Mother Nature wreaks havoc! Large green tomatoes can be taken in before frost; by placing them on newspaper lined plastic bread trays and covering them with another layer of paper, they will slowly ripen, affording a lengthy and continuous supply of ripe fruit. Tomato plants can also be dug up just prior to frost, hung by their roots in a cool cellar; they will produce ripe fruit until Christmas. When harvesting potatoes care must be taken to deal with those that have green shoulders... a result of not being hilled up properly... these have the potential

of causing Spina Bifida from the toxins produced and should NEVER be eaten by expectant mothers. Most root vegetables store well in a cold room, preferably tucked into wood shavings, onions can be carefully dried away from strong sunlight and braided into attractive strings, great decoration for the kitchen and handy for snapping off for the stir fry etc. This is a great time to collect seed from favourite plants, these should be hung from their stems inside a brown paper bag in a cool, airy, dry locality when the seed fall out of their casings and are totally dried they should be labelled and stored in paper envelopes ready for swapping and planting next spring. Dahlias, Gladioli and other such bulbs and tubers can be left to experience the first ‘killing’ frost but should then be dug up and slowly dried out, at that point excess foliage needs to be removed and they too can be stored in a dry cool location in peat moss or wood shavings; all ready for the early spring planting which is sure to be a reality next year!

By now most ponds have produced far more growth than is good for them, ideally a pond should have at least one third of its surface uncluttered by vegetation, all pond weed should be removed, it will turn up next spring with great eagerness and most of the plants in the ponds will benefit from a bit of thinning out. All of this activity will provide ample space for frogs and toads to become as amorous and productive as possible, perhaps a suitable selection of music as you enjoy the final BBQ’s of the season will aid them in their endeavours and we will all reap the benefits next year of an army of their progeny scoffing the mosquitoes and their kin; sadly we can no longer depend on the wee brown bat for their services! Blessings, Betty. 0038

Have a safe Labour Day!

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. � 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 � � 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 uno� 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 uno� 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 � ckle thing. Maybe a simple BBQ in the backyard with friends and family, or just a relaxing day around the house without any real labour to speak of.

Thanks to the e� 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.


INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS, LOCAL 502

Happy Labour Day!

Serving our community for 85 years...

26 Kiwanis Court, Saint John, NB 506-635-8535www.IBEW502.org

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

“Since 1929 IBEW Local 502 has been devoted to our members and their communities.Safety, health, human rights and fair treatment are what we’re about.

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.”

Unlike the other holidays, the pomp and circumstance of Labour Day has been lost over the years. � 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. � ere are no obligatory family gatherings or long time-honored traditions passed down for long years. Just a day o� 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, 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.

FRESH WITH FOOD by dave wolpin

SURvIvAL OF THE HARDEST

With heart disease as one of our leading killers, it is an obvious and justifiable impeller of many people’s health kicks. However, in reality, if your diet is poor enough to develop heart disease, you have undoubtedly already endured a decade of other health problems you may not have considered to be related. Many of us do not appreciate the interconnectedness of our body functions. Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of heart disease once it is developed, but in its early stages it causes a host of other issues throughout our body. Atherosclerosis is far from simple but in as few words as possible, it is the hardening of the arteries resulting from a buildup of fatty plaque and eventually leads to the inflammation of the arteries. The danger is that while Atherosclerosis affects the entire artery tree. Eventually, it is too late and the plaque ruptures, causing a thrombus (blood clot) and you have a

heart attack or if it happens in your brain, a stroke. Chronic lower back pain is extremely common in our population. Dr. Michael Gregor argues that “atherosclerosis can obstruct the arteries that feed the spine and this restriction in blood flow can cause lower back pain. [This is because] the disks in our lower back are the largest avascular tissue in the body, meaning that they have no blood vessels, so the nutrition has to diffuse in from the edges, so they are particularly vulnerable to nutrient deprivation.” According to Gregor, this starts in our teens and in his lecture, From Table to Able, he references studies that show lumbar disc degradation as early as age eleven in those that eat the standard american diet. Our modern western medical system looks to pills to solve our health problems because our society has collectively perceived the adoption of a healthy diet and lifestyle to be too difficult to achieve. With the popularity of viagara, apparently, we don’t want to eat healthy, even to

achieve an erection. What is interesting is that a male’s ability to obtain an erection depends on the body’s ability to circulate blood. Impotence is a symptom of atherosclerosis. It all stems from the same disease, the clogging of our body’s circulation system. And since abdominal obesity aka beer/pot belly has now been linked to high levels of estrogen in our diet, it has never been so manly to sit down for a big greasy meal. A pot bellied man who is impotent is way too normal. If this rubs you the wrong way, step back and consider that this is completely within your power to change. People do it every day and there is no shame in renewing your enthusiasm for life, healthy functional life.Impotence is a serious issue we need to stop sweeping under the bed. 0039

CAFFEINE AND SLEEP

As I was standing in line at the award winning Tim Horton’s this morning in Sussex, I saw many familiar faces. We queue up every morning for what many call the “nectar of the gods”- coffee. We enjoy the heat of the drink, the aroma, even the comradery of having a cup

of Joe and chatting with friends. But the real draw of coffee, and the reason we are all at this coffee shop so early is for the caffeine jolt that we are eagerly anticipating. The discovery of coffee is attributed to a 13th century goatherder in the highlands of Ethiopia who noticed that when his goats ate these particular berries, the goats became very spirited

and would not go to sleep. The monks at the nearby monastery began to make a drink from the berries and it kept them awake for many hours of evening prayer. By the 15th century the coffee trees were being cultivated in the Arab countries and were becoming a valuable trade commodity. Coffee’s use spread to Europe and it was not long before most cultures were trading and using coffee as a major part of their economy and diet. The most expensive coffee in the world is produced in Indonesia. A cat like creature called Civet searches in the woods for the very ripest berries on the forest floor. It eats the berries but cannot digest to seeds so they come out the other end of the Civet whole. These seeds are sifted out of the cat’s poop, rinsed and dried. You can pick up a pound of this luxury item for $635/lb, or $80/cup (by appointment only, cream and sugar not included). I Think I’ll pass. It was of course the caffeine in the coffee berries that kept the goats and the monks in Ethiopia awake. The average North American consumes about 200 mg of caffeine a day and it comes from many sources including coffee, tea, energy drinks, chocolate and even some medications. So how much caffeine is in your morning drink? Well, a small coffee has about 100 mg of caffeine. A small tea has 50 mg. Your decaf coffee still has 6-15 mg in it. So how about that extra-large black that I drank this morning? 240 mg of caffeine. Yikes! It appears that morning coffee does not affect your sleep at night, but coffee taken in the afternoon does. Caffeine can stay in your system up to 11 hours after ingestion, so your afternoon coffee pick me up may be affecting your quality of sleep or causing insomnia. So enjoy your morning coffee, but after lunch switch to something a little less jitter inducing like water. You’ll sleep much better for it! 0046

WOW, what a trip we had. The 1st Sussex Pathfinders/Rangers and their leaders want to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the people of Sussex and surrounding areas and to all the local business who helped us along the way. To the parents of the

girls, we certainly could not have done this without your continued support; and to Girl Guides of Canada for helping make this trip possible. Also, thank you to the girls themselves, you certainly worked hard for this

trip and you all make great travelling buddies. The sights and sounds of London and Paris are hard to describe and are both beautiful places to visit. But, there is certainly no place like home. 3075

SJA DIvISION 676 ANNUAL AWARDS


POINT OF vIEW by diane McMillan

BACK TO SCHOOL BLISS

September means many things – the promise of cooler weather, a collage of beautiful colours, warmer clothing and, of course, back to school. If you're a parent, you're probably rejoicing right about now. The boredom that has afflicted many a student this summer is about to end, only to be replaced by hectic schedules, homework and a never-ending lists of school supplies and clothing to buy. It also means coming up with new and inventive ways to pack a lunch that your kids will actually eat. Aside from the Christmas-like costs and long line-ups associated with back to school shopping, making lunches is probably my least favorite task associated with back to school. It starts out pretty good. I stock up on all of the essentials my teen “has” to have for her lunch, only to discover a week or two later that she no longer likes it. Really? Oh, and giving her money to eat in the cafeteria comes with its own set of challenges.

Apparently, cafeteria food is gross, the line-ups are too long, and there's no place to sit when you finally get your food (teen non-problem #1,271). As the mother of a 14-year-old daughter, I've never had to drag her to the mall to shop. She goes willingly, and with a long list of wants to boot. She could (and does) spend countless hours looking for that perfect new outfit, or that latest footwear trend. I don't remember shopping being that complicated, when I was growing up. As long as you owned a pair of Levi's, neon anything and enough hairspray to make that big hair even bigger, you were happy – and I was! Now, there's more pressure put on kids (and their parents) to wear name brand everything. That's what I love about private and/or independent schools like Valley Christian Academy and Rothesay Netherwood. Everyone wears a school uniform, and everyone looks the same. It gives students the ability to focus on what's really important – getting a quality education.

Throughout my daughter's elementary school years, teachers purchased the school supplies and we paid a fee when school resumed. Boy, do I miss those days! Now, there's dozens of choices for everything from binders and pencil pouches to markers and backpacks. This year, I've delayed the inevitable so don't be surprised if you see this chick in a store on Labour Day weekend looking as dazed as some men do on Christmas Eve. As we send our students back to the classroom, remember to slow down and enjoy the scenery, watch for school buses carrying our precious cargo, and thank a teacher – they've earned it! I'd love to hear from you. My e-mail is [email protected]. 0032

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.

v.O.C. REUNION UPDATE

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.

SAINT JOHN BLOGGER

This past week I had the pleasure of interviewing Saint John Blogger (along with many other cool things) Barb Crawford. Her Blog just turned 5 years old! Congratulations Barb! 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? Barb - What a question. Saint John is home to me. I was born and raised here. The community culture of Saint John is like none other. Jeff - How do you see our local arts & culture scene today? Where do you see it going in the future? Barb - (a) - Arts & Culture in Saint John is in the middle of a revival. Many of my evenings and late nights are spent in bars

listening to local and touring bands. The shows lately have been packed. This is good for our locals’ acts as well as those touring through. With over a dozen galleries in Uptown Saint John as well as artists’ studios and museums - the arts community is strong and present. (b) - My sincere hope is that progress is made on full implementation of the Arts & Culture policy that the City

MUSINGS by debbie hickey

Debbie HickeyPresident, Ossekeag Publishing

TO BE A KID AGAIN

We recently spent a few days in PEI with our daughter and 8 year old granddaughter. It is SO much more convenient to get there with the bridge. No more sitting in line at the ferry terminal for hours and hours in the hot sun, trying to keep two antsy kids entertained in the days before mobile electronic toys. Now it could even be a day-trip. The kid had a blast! Of course the visit entailed multiple visits to the two Cavendish theme parks, lots of eating and swimming daily . . . how could she not? She loves the water, loves mussels and several straight days of Grumpy time just puts the icing on the cake. Soon enough she will no doubt consider herself too old for family vacations, so we enjoy it while we can. This year she even enticed her

mother to go on the ferris wheel with her, and someday she will realize what a sacrifice that was. The things we do for our kids! But they both LOVE the roller coaster and I can recognize that scream anywhere! We followed up vacation with (what else) school shopping. Again, the kid had a ball choosing her new “stuff ”. We have had to stash it at my house to keep it all together as she would have it out of the bookbag to admire several times every day if we did not. She can’t wait for school to start. I too was always eager to get back to school. Summer’s lazy days eventually lose their appeal and I would find myself more than ready to get back into learning mode . . . and to see the friends I had not seen since June of course. I find it sad when I hear of young children who dread going to school. Learning should be exciting, an adventure, a chance to open new doors

with new ideas and new perspectives. Instead, for many, it is only a drudge, or worse, a torture. How do we manage to so quickly extinguish the child’s natural enthusiasm for learning? Is it because as adults we ourselves have forgotten? “The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.” ~John Lubbock. 0002
