MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Since we are nearing the timeline to a switch to new ownership, It is possible that this could be a final (or near final) Ravings. Although I am hopeful that we will have a chance to say a true farewell, I am going to use this opportunity to repeat what I believe is the most important issue facing this Province. Yeah!! You guessed it!! Forestry... 8 million acres of Crown Land, the most important resource this province has. But, this time I am not going to Rave about clearcuts, tree farms, herbicide usage and all of the other ways we are abusing this resource. This time it is strictly business. A basic business analysis, just like the Irvings would do. So we have allowed big forestry companies to manage our most important asset for the past 33 years. One has to assume, of course, that the government of the day and all subsequent governments have supported this arrangement for the benefit of the people of New Brunswick and not as a perpetual gift to people such as the Irvings. So the fair question to ask is... “How is this working for you??” Has this arrangement led to a greater number of jobs in the forestry sector?? In my limited research, I could not find exact numbers for the period 1982-2015 but I think that I can very safely say that jobs in the forestry sector have been decimated since we have had big companies manage our forests. Their strategy of high volume logging of low value fibre is largely responsible for the huge job losses.

Well, if our forest strategy is not producing jobs, I bet it is generating tons of money for us. So lets check the last published report for Department of Natural Resources (DNR) which is for the fiscal year 2013-2014. In total DNR had $101 million in expenses including $73M on forest management. Drum roll .. .. .. Well our revenues were $83M with royalties (from all our natural resources) totalling $73M. Oh Dear!! Let me get this straight. Almost everyone, considers our economy to be resource based. But, the income from ALL of our resources (forestry, mining, natural gas, etc) covers the cost of managing our forests. By the way, much of the $73M spent on forest management ends up in the hands (pockets) of companies such as the Irvings. I don’t believe anyone needs an MBA to figure out that if the Irvings were managing this province as a business instead of looting it, they would kill our forestry agreements in a heart beat. So, in conclusion, let me say to the current and all future governments this... “Short of a miracle, the Province of New Brunswick will not see prosperity, until we take back control of our forests and manage them for the benefit of the people of New Brunswick and not to simply further enrich the rich.” 0001

OPERATION INSPIRATION THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone who donated books for our 2nd Annual Book sale! It was a huge success with many students walking away with huge smiles and lots of summer reading material. It is fantastic to see how much they really love books and get excited about new reading material at a fraction of the cost. We raised almost $200 for our scholarship fund! Special thanks to Mrs. Gray, our SRHS librarian. Our bottle drive on the night of the Activity Awards brought in $105.15 in only a couple of hours! Thanks again to Peter Norrad and his staff for the van and all of the sorting. On Wednesday, June 17 grade 11 student Sophie Sharp presented $160.50 Operation Inspiration Scholarships to two of our grads: Miss Holly Teakles from Penobsquis and Mr. Terry Maxwell from Sussex Corner. We are certain that they will continue to inspire others! Thanks again because it really does take a community to raise a child. 3572

POINT OF VIEWSOBER

SECOND THOUGHT

Let me get this straight. The taxpayers of this great country pay an average of $14,952,000/year - and that’s just their base salary - for 105 political cronies and former media personalities to sit as senators in the Canadian Parliament's upper chamber. Apparently, they’re there to give “sober second thought” to legislation representing different regions of Canada. Unlike most politicians, who are elected by Canadian taxpayers, senators are appointed by Canada’s Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. They are unelected, unaccountable, and belong to an undemocratic institution. And for that they receive a base salary of $142,400, not including the additional compensation they receive for travel to political functions, and a host of other extra responsibilities. The Mike Duffy’s and Pamela Wallin’s of the senate world - well, until they were suspended - worked an average of

three days/week for 29 weeks of the year. According to my calculations, that’s 87 days of work per year. Not including all the extra cash they received for expenses, sitting on senate committees, and just working their fingers to the bone, that works out to a base of almost $1,650/day. I’m clearly in the wrong business! Back in 1867, when our country was founded, the Senate may have been a good idea. Today, however, it's become nothing more than a money sucking embarrassment that needs to go away. Evidence continues to mount that our upper house is neither useful nor necessary for anyone other than those appointed to collect a ridiculous salary for bending the rules and finding new and inventive ways to claim travel and living expenses. When senators are sitting in their fancy chamber, they can vote on and amend democratically created legislation, veto the work of MP's and even create their own legislation. Sometimes, if they're really bored, they can even write their own study. Who knew you'd need 105 full-time

employees with six-figure salaries, gold-plated pensions and expenses (can't forget about their expenses) to do all that? So, apparently there are qualifications to become a senator, and I've met all three. You must be at least 30 years old, own property worth $4,000 over and above debts and liabilities, and be a resident in the province for which he/she is appointed – check, check and check. Unlike various high-profile senators who've had trouble identifying just where they live, I am a resident of New Brunswick – and I actually live here. I'll be waiting for my call, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper. Here's my sober second thought on the senate issue. It's time to recognize that the Canadian Senate is seriously flawed and in need of a complete overhaul. If you can’t do what's necessary to make it relevant again, do the right thing and take steps to abolish it. Taxpayers (and our wallets) will thank you. 0032


WE LOVECANADA

Every July 1st Canadians across the country celebrate their nation’s birthday. Of course Canada is so huge that when the Newfoundlanders can start celebrating it’s still only eight-thirty the night before across the country in British Columbia, a distance of over 7,000 kilometers, and an estimated drive time of 78 hours not including rest stops. In roughly the same amount of time (according to Google Maps) a

person could drive from Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland all the way down to Cairo, the capital of Egypt in Africa. During your cross-continental drive you would go through: England, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Israel, and then fi nally to your destination in Egypt, a total of eleven countries. Luckily since you’re travelling more or less North-South, you’ll need to

reset your watch less than if you decided to travel Canada from east to west. If you decide to travel North to South, you may want to consider bringing along a team of dogs, preferably not daschunds, and a good sturdy toboggan. You will eventually fi nd out that there are still places that roads don’t go. Th e only country you could drive further in one direction and not leave is Russia.

If you were to make this drive all the way across and stopped to ask people why they celebrate Canada Day, and what it means to them, you would likely fi nd remarkably diff erent answers. Go East to Prince Edward Island and you’ll most likely fi nd people dedicated to the soil or the sea. Potatoes really do grow almost everywhere on PEI. Once you get past the tourist traps and

beaches and into the small towns and communities the Islanders call home year round, you will fi nd farmers and fi sherman who are famous for their potatoes and lobster.

Across the Northumberland Bay, and through the vasts forests of New Brunswick lies Quebec, a province famous for contributing three-quarters of the world’s supply of a maple syrup, surely a lifetime supply for even the most dedicated fan of breakfast foods. Even with this

t r e m e n d o u s output, most people in Quebec don’t

work in the forests singing to the maple

trees to release

their sap. Nowadays the trees have tubes for the syrup to fl ow down, gravity fed into a large holding tank, where forty liters of sap are boiled down into one liter of sweet maple syrup.

Th e sheer immensity and shift ing geography makes for many diff erent ways of life across our nation. Th e rolling prairie lands of Saskatchewan have very few maple trees and even fewer lobsters, and Alberta’s tar sands would probably be rubbish at growing canola and wheat. In the North the Inuit still practice their traditional culture and way of living as best they can in a modern country.

When each us celebrates Canada Day, when any of us are glad that we

Our hopes are high. Our faith in the people is great. Our courage is strong. And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die. - Pierre Trudeau

live in Canada, we are probably glad about a diff erent fact of our lifestyle. Maybe it’s the free healthcare, not going to jail for messing up on your taxes, a democratically elected government, mostly paved roads, or just the stunning natural beauty that we get to enjoy everyday, especially in the country. Th at fact, of not agreeing on why we’re happy to be Canadian, is perhaps the most Canadian thing there is. We’re too big of a country to have one point of view, but that doesn’t make any of them wrong. Our relaxed immigration policy for the past few decades has made us one of the most diverse and accepting countries on the planet. People want in, not out. Why not though, with so much natural abundance, free speech, and protection from harm, to a lot of people around the world it may feel like paradise, what does it feel like to you?

MARIGOLD PLANTING A SUCCESS

This year we have surpassed our World Record - over 7,000 children from 50 schools at 50 different sites from the US/Canada Border to the Dairy Town, most ferry landings on the Saint John/Kennebecasis Rivers, along the Bay of Fundy from Blacks Harbour to Saint Martins, down Water Street along the Port of Saint John to the Saint John Airport to the Ridgewood Veterans’ Hospital to the Regional Hospital to Lawrence Station to the Town Halls of Quispamsis, Rothesay and Grand Bay-Westfield and down Main Street, Saint John North, Carleton Place Lower West to Union Street - the core of Saint John to Apohaqui to Norton to Hampton. This year we planted 150,000 Marigolds and over 4 million marigolds in 18 years. We now have very, very old children in their 30s who planted Marigolds 18 years ago. The children and parents are proud and the tourists love them. The teachers, children and community made it happen by working together. For more info on the Marigold project visit: marigolds.ca.

EASY & QUICK BREADED CHICKEN

Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week I had a customer ask me how easy it is to make crispy battered chicken. It is not very difficult, just really messy. There are several ways to batter chicken or anything else for that matter. A lot of us grew up with shake and bake commercials and I bet some of you tried it. This was the process of putting herbs and spices, along with bread crumbs in a bag. Placing the damp chicken into the bag and shaking it until it was completely coated. A nice and simple way to make battered chicken, but the batter was never very thick and the breading was either really brown on one side and pale on the other. Fine for when you are in a rush but not a good battered chicken. What we do in the industry is a three stage breading. First you get a bowl of flour. About a cup for four chicken breasts.

Take two eggs and beat them well in another bowl. In the third bowl you have your breading materials, about 2 cups. What I mean by that is whatever you want your breading to taste like. For example, I use bread crumbs, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme and garlic powder. I mix this together well. Now it is time to get started. First you place the chicken breast in the flour, making sure that it is completely covered. Knock off as much flour as possible. What this is doing it giving the egg wash something to stick to. Now with one hand only, place the chicken breast into the egg wash. Roll it around with the one hand until it is completely coated. The reason for one hand is because you are going to now place the chicken breast into the bread crumbs. Using the only dry hand, you roll the chicken breast around in the bread crumbs. Not only do you have a thick coating on your chicken, it is full of flavour as well. Place the breaded chicken on a sheet pan or cookie sheet and once all the chicken is breaded, place in a 325 degree oven and cook for 20 minutes

depending on the size of the chicken. What this will do is crisp the outside of the chicken, but trap all the flavour and moisture inside. You have encased the chicken in this mixture. You will also find that your chicken does not shrink, but stays plump and juicy. With this method you can also stuff your chicken before breading. With encasing the chicken in your breading, your filling will not run out or melt out. I good example of this is chicken cordon bleu with is chicken stuffed with swiss cheese and ham. Now remember to use one hand for dry and one hand for wet or the next thing you know you will have thick breading for fingers and if you have a lot to do, it will ruin your other bowls. enjoy! 0040

BLOOMIN’ ARTISTS 2015

The blossoms are busting out, the trees are in full leaf, and summer has arrived! And with summer comes the much-enjoyed Hampton John Peters Humphrey Bloomin’ Artists event. On July 25 & 26 more than 30 artists of all disciplines will descend on the town and scatter themselves throughout the many beautiful gardens and scenic spots in our community to produce pieces that are then rushed to the Lighthouse River Centre to be sold by silent auction. It is a fun event over two days and is eagerly looked forward to by both artists and patrons. Bloomin’ Artists is a wonderful opportunity to purchase affordable paintings - and this year jewellery, pottery and fibre art – by some of New Brunswick’s most celebrated artists. There will be a kids’ art project going on at the same time on the Saturday and all ages are welcome to participate for free. The event is the main fundraiser for the Hampton John Peters Humphrey Foundation and allows the foundation to continue its work of promoting awareness of human rights and the legacy of John Peters Humphrey. Money raised in the past has allowed the foundation to do such things as host an annual human rights forum and award, to create the Credo sculpture on the courthouse lawn, to sponsor the mural on Hampton High School’s exterior, to support the play “Speak Truth to Power”, and to assist Anne Scott in producing her highly successful book The Boy Who Was Bullied. Mark your calendar for July 25 & 26. More information can be found on the foundation website: humphreyhampton.org and watch the Herald for more about this great community event. 3560

IN THE GARDEN

Betty Kennett,Resident Green Thumb

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!

It appears to me that the weather is the usual opener for most casual conversations and that the rains we have received lately have been cast in a very negative light, the craving for sunshine, lots of it, is top of the ‘desires’ list. I for one would sooner have too much of the life giving water than not enough; many places in our world are suffering greatly because of drought so the best thing we can do is celebrate the abundance and handle the sometimes negative impact that rain has on our gardens! Despite the dull weather the gardens are awash with colour as the lilacs begin to fade and the Iris and Roses come into their own. Iris, with their exotic looking blooms are most severely handicapped by the steady rains as their blossoms seem to soak up the moisture and the heavy stems slowly droop to the ground; by persistently deadheading these beauties the flowering

season can be stretched into several weeks, any snapped stems should be cut down to the ground and the colour of the blossom can be noted on their flat leaves with a permanent marker. This is really important since the plant has the happy habit of spreading and needs frequent division, knowing the colours helps in planning new locations and in sharing the bounty with other gardeners. Iris can be divided as soon as they have finished blooming and any diseased rhizomes should be disposed of after slicing through them to destroy any of the borers that cause great damage; when replanting it’s important to leave a good portion of the rhizome exposed to the sun and to have the root system spread sideways from it. Cutting the leaves back to about 8 inches will help settle the new plants and a sprinkle of bone meal will soon have the new patch raring to go. As with most flowering shrubs, dead heading Lilac is a must, this puts all the plant’s energy into strengthening the root system rather than producing seed, more than enough young shoots are produced

and indeed, for best results, many of those need to be cut down to the ground, along with the older very tall thick woody limbs. All weeds should be removed allowing a good air flow, the best method of preventing moulds and fungi from causing problems. Similar action should be taken with Honeysuckle and most shrubs can be pruned back as soon as the flowering is over; the major exceptions to this action are Azaleas, Rhododendron and Magnolias which, bless their hearts, seem to withstand the ravages of the abundant rains while producing incredibly stunning displays of loveliness. Bluebells are forming seed right now and I leave them alone and enjoy the new plants that turn up every spring, courtesy of the wind and wild life… yes indeed, let’s count our blessings. 0038

HOW MUCH IS THAT COFFEE IN THE

WINDOW?

I recently gave a presentation where the conversation about everyday spending took on a life of its own. We all had stories about how we spent our money on a daily basis and how we knew we should be spending it elsewhere. The everyday pull of convenience and the need for reward can sabotage anyone’s budget. It is easy to blame the items we do not like spending money for eating up our budget and use it to justify our buying for convenience. Think about your day in the life of you balancing your needs and your wants. Picking up a coffee and breakfast sandwich on the way to work, grabbing a coffee on break, heading to lunch with a couple of co-workers and then picking up a pizza for the family on the way home. That

is a quick way to make work of the two twenties you have stashed away in your wallet. We tend to think of each expense in the singular and not look at what the cumulative cost can add up to. Just by having two regular coffees per day you run a cost of two dollars each, then add up what you would need for the month ($120!), then what you spend on an annual basis $1,460 and our decisions start to change. We need breakfast, lunch and supper (and some, like me, would argue we need coffee), but we do not need to spend all of our disposable income on these. So how do you break the cycle of buying for convenience and what is the incentive? We get in the habit of buying everything to consume, we start to lose the appreciation of it, and it becomes more of a habit than a reward. Where as a reward for making it through the work week would be a pizza on Friday night eventually turned into

dinner out, which then turned into … To effectively assess what you are spending your money on, you need to track it for 30-60 days. There will be things you do not even think about when compiling your list. You may own up to the coffee but not the donut you get at the same time. You then need to set yourself a spending limit, for instance no more than $40/week on coffees and lunches and then you need to hold yourself accountable to sticking with it. Most of all, you have to make it important, you need to have curbing your discretionary spending as a goal and saving a reward. 0005

Dr. Stephen had been recognized as an expert in the field of child abuse and was instrumental in developing an Interdisciplinary Committee on Child Abuse for the Greater Saint John area. The Foundation was established in 1993 to recognize these contributions and to promote educational opportunities in the field of child abuse prevention. 3568

BELLEISLE PICKEREL TOURNEY UPDATE

There are pickerel in Belleisle Bay! John Buckley, who resides in Kiersteadville, hooked the biggest one at the Belleisle Watershed 2nd annual Pickerel Derby held from the Hatfield Point Wharf. John’s winning fish was 24.5” (62.23cm) long and weighed in at over three pounds. John won $50 for his pickerel.

The Catch & Release or Eat Derby had 25 participants who could fish from the shore, a boat or kayak; children under 10 were able to take part in the tournament for free - great chance for a family outing. There were prizes for the best picture of a fish, also. John may win in that category as he posted a picture of his pickerel, battered and fried to golden perfection. Funds raised by the Belleisle Watershed Coalition, Inc., a non-profit, charitable organization support programs which protect and to sustain the environment of Belleisle Bay. 3574

FEMINIST

We get lots of feedback from our readers; most of it positive, occasionally not. This week I responded to an email from a man who was upset at our running a little editorial for the Sussex Domestic Violence Outreach Service. I won’t identify him, but here is the communication we received: “I realize there are an abundance of women at Ossekeag publishing however is it necessary to keep printing these feminist articles such as Domestic violence outreach? I am sure with the way we are bombarded with this issue most by now have got the point. I usually throw this rag in the trash where it belongs as many other men I speak to do as well. There are two sexes that read you would be well advised to remember that!!!!.” Certainly I am not offended that he says he throws our magazine in the trash. I recognize that not everyone is or will be a fan. Nor does his opinion that we have no content of interest to the men in the

community upset me (though I would point out that on the same page as the objected to domestic violence article was a much longer one on a pickerel tournament that some might consider of greater interest to the men than the women). And by no means does it disturb me to be labelled a feminist. My go-to online dictionary defines feminism as “the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.” Nothing offensive there, just common-sense to treat every person equally. What I am deeply offended by is the tone of the communication, and the implication that domestic violence is strictly a “feminist” issue. Implied also is the denigration of the issue, as if it is of little or no importance. Domestic violence should be a serious concern for all of us, male or female. People live in fear. People die. It is not gender specific, as men are also abused by their partners, as can be the children (male and female) in the family unit. Even if the children are

not themselves abused, their awareness of it in their home has long-term effects on their own mental and emotional wellbeing. If caring what happens to the vulnerable in our communities makes me a feminist it is a label I will wear proudly. And we will continue to publish the Domestic Violence Outreach Service information. Perhaps just one person will read it and make that phone call that could save a life.Domestic Violence Outreach Service Sussex: 433-6579Domestic Violence Outreach Service Kennebecasis Valley: 847-6277Domestic Violence Outreach Service Saint John: 649-2580, 632-5616. 0002
