“BROKEN” A short while ago Mikie had a major wipeout on the ice. Now, I have always told myself, when falling... do NOT put out your hand, which is just full of fragile bones. However, while crossing some ice in the driveway my feet went out from under me so fast that there was no time for thinking. The initial impact was... ouch, my tailbone, then I felt a twinge in my hand?? A few hours later, my tailbone seemed not too bad but the hand was swollen and pretty sore. Went in to the ER the next morning and 5 or 6 x-rays later was declared broken. A well wrapped splint was applied and the pain was quickly alleviated. Ten days later, I have a checkup at the hospital, by a plastic surgeon, and he figures that it isn’t broken and go home, take it easy. Well, I was just ecstatic. “Thanks Doc, you did such a great job on the wrist, how about doing something for the face??” What is also broken for the past couple of days, is our walk in the woods. After a winter’s snowfall, we pack down a trail
- More articles - exclusive content For your convenience you can drop off ads and editorial at:
with the snowshoes a couple of times, and then we can usually walk on that path with just boots!! What has been happening recently with the milder temperatures, is that if you place one foot near the edge of the path, you frequently wind up breaking through and sinking right to your knee. You then have to extricate yourself by lifting all of your weight with the other leg. So after breaking through about a dozen times or so on one walk, the next day I opted for the snowshoes, as there were two or three inches of soft crumbly snow on the surface. Soon the difficult became the ridiculous!! Right snowshoe slides to the right and breaks through the crust to sink 8 inches. Off balance, the left foot takes more of the load but starts to slip to the left. Because I still can’t put weight on my right foot, I double hop and skip on the left. Having my right foot free, I swing it to the left to try and gain a foothold on the trail, but over compensate and like a skier glide down the slope of the path coming to a halt in deep snow. The judges award a 6.0 for technical merit but a big fat zero for artistic impression. Despite the humorous efforts that must be taken, we have persisted in finding ways to continue our walk, while minimizing the likelihood of further broken bones. 0001

BASEMENT PLAYERS PRESENTS…
CROSSWINDS RADIO BINGO
This year the Basement Players Theater Group will be performing a farce-comedy titled "Laffing Room Only" by Tim Kelly. This play is set in an old rundown hotel, The Whispering Pines, that is definitely off the beaten path. Gloria Alexander is about to lose the dilapidated hotel for back-taxes. She'd gladly sell the place, but there are no takers. Enter two tax officials, with plans to make the hotel a base for a sting operation. One hilarious complication collides with another up to the climax when each visitor turns out to have an unsuspected, rib-tickling reason for being at the hotel. Tickets ($10/children, $5/children 12 and under) are available from the sponsoring venue or at the door. All performances begin at 7:30pm. Locally, performances will be held: Friday, April 25 - Belleisle Regional High School (Rte 124, Springfield) and Saturday, April 26 - Harvey Hall, Riverside-Albert. For more information on the Baskement Players visit their website: basementplayers.com or their Facebook page. 2724
Crosswinds Radio BINGO has been part of the Sussex community for almost one and a half years now. It’s Hard to believe that so much time has passed. We would like to thank all of you who have played, the stores which selflessly sell the cards, CJCW radio station and the callers for their commitment to the success of Radio Bingo. It goes without saying that without the community support and the time and effort of the staff of Crosswinds, Radio BINGO would not be a reality. We were asked by a recent winner “What do you do with the money you make?” A fair question, and one to which there is a reply. The expenses for this endeavour are numerous. The cost of the computer program, licensing, payment to the Radio Station and of course paying our winners are all paid before any profits are realized. All of our profits go back into programs for our 61 clients. Like most non-profit agencies, raising funds to support the work we do is a necessity, without which we would be unable to continue providing the variety of services that are available.

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty Growing up on the family farm I enjoyed a steady diet of daydreaming, clean living and Canadian country music compliments of our families Vinyl, cassette and 8-track collection. Fond memories included watching the musical variety shows the “Family Brown Country” on CJOH television in Ottawa and of course, The Tommy Hunter show on CBC. Canada’s first lady of Country music, Carroll Baker, was one of his frequent guests and a mainstay on our record player in the house. Baker even had her own series on CBC in the early 80’s. Carroll Baker is making her return to Saint John at the Imperial Theatre on April 29, much too many area country music lovers’ joy! I sent her off some questions on how she was discovered and other things I had on my mind. Here is that interview! “I was discovered by George Petralia at a Jamboree near Markham Ontario in 1969. I don't recall the exact date as I never was one for fine details. Anyway, I used to go there to do this Jamboree on Sundays, and George Petralia was there and approached me a few times about the possibility of
making a record. I kept insisting I was not interested in making a record, but he was relentless. One evening, I thought I'm not sure about this guy, maybe I should tell him to go and talk to my husband. When he went to meet up with my husband John, I was approached by his wife Rasty, and she was an absolute wonderful lady so I thought hey, if he has a lovely wife like this he must be an okay guy. “Listen In” - It's been a long time since you were last in Saint John to perform! What could a new fan going to see a Carroll Baker show expect? “I am so looking forward to returning to Saint John. It has been many, many years since I last did a show there. I had been advised that my ticket sales would not be great there and that I should perhaps skip Saint John, and then we found out there were no weekend dates available at The imperial Theatre, it was looking pretty dark for the date. I really wanted to return so we went ahead and booked a Tuesday night, not the best day for a concert. When I saw ticket sales were slower in Saint John

than any of my other concerts, I certainly was disappointed, but there was no way I wanted to have the show cancelled due to lack of ticket sales. We would just have to find a way to make it work. My husband took over the date and we were on the hook for the loss if that was to happen. It would be great to get a sell out so I could let the others know that all is well in Saint John with Country Music. However, if I don't sell out, the show will not be any different than any other show I do. The show is called Thanks For The Memories and I want to thank my fans in the area for their support. They will get the best show I can give them. Each person who is at that show deserves no less. I want them all to know. "I am 65”, "Still" alive, and "Singing" Live. I will prove it at the concert!!!” Get your tickets now folks by going to imperialtheatre. nb.ca or by calling 674-4100. 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists
WELL RESTED THE TROUBLE WITH SHIFT WORK We are living in a “24/7 society.” Some stores are open 24 hours a day and some companies require shifts around the clock. Emergency services, hospitals and special care homes have patients who require 24 hour care. These workplaces have workers who are not living the normal 9-5, Monday to Friday work week. Store employees, emergency and healthcare workers, mineworkers are all living with a schedule that is unnatural for human beings. We are diurnal creatures, not nocturnal like owls and bats. Most of us wake up in the morning at the time we set our alarm clock. We spend our evenings watching TV, reading by artificial light, or on the computer. These devices of modern life have shifted our sleep schedule and made it shorter. If we did not have these devices, what our sleep look like? We would have the sunshine in the morning waking us up at dawn. In the evening, after the workday was done, the sun would go down and our evening
by Angie Cummings
would be lit by a fire for warmth and a lamp. This would result in an earlier wake time, but more importantly a much earlier bedtime. Shift workers are required to function on a schedule opposite to our natural design. They must get sleep during the day when light, noise, and their body’s natural sleep cycle is telling them to be awake. They must be alert, and productive during the time when their body wants to naturally go to sleep and regenerate for the next day. Night shift work often makes for poorer quality sleep and several less hours of sleep than is needed to be healthy and productive. The decrease in sleep can cause sleepiness during their night shift especially at the end of it, increased accidents, errors and injury and disharmony at home. Here are a few tips that can make night shift more worker friendly: Avoid bright light on your way home; wear dark sunglasses or “blue light” blocking glasses that will limit the signal from the sun to your brain that it’s time to “wake up.”; Hunger might wake you, but so can
heartburn! Have a light snack and avoid caffeine and a greasy breakfast; Have a dark bedroom or wear a light blocking sleep mask. Wear earplugs and encourage family members to be considerate while you sleep. Stay in bed - you need 7.58 hours of good sleep; Address any suspected sleep disorders; Spend time with your family on your days off to keep your relationships healthy too! To arrange a free talk for your special group or a free at - home sleep study, call Angela Cummings BSc, RRT at Sussex Sleep Clinic Inc., 434-7667. 0047

CODY: Hi there, my name is Cody, aka Mr. Mustachio. I think I
suit my alias to a tee. Sporting a white bib, white spats with whiskers and eyebrows to match, I look quite the ‘tuxedo’d’ gent. I’m one year old and have been neutered, vaccinated and all parasites taken care of. I get along famously with the other 12 felines I bunk with and love all the sunny windowsills I share with them. In early fall I showed up on someone’s doorstep. Unfortunately, the people who lived there could not keep me. Fortunately, the Sanctuary was able to take me in. I wasn’t in bad shape, just a little malnourished and infested with parasites. I’m now looking for sunny windowsills in a permanent home. Please call the Sanctuary if you think I could dance my way into your home. Join us at Petvalu in Sussex on April 26. Pay $35.00 to have your cat or dog microchipped, and all proceeds will go to help abandoned cats. Call Petvalu to make an appointment @ 506-432-5432.

WHY I RELAY... When the Sussex Relay for Life committee asked me to be the emcee for the 2013 relay, I was thrilled. At the time, I was working on a comedy show in which I told the story of my time as a parent, focusing a lot on my father's influence on my parenting and his influence on my time as a comedian. The countless hours I had spent writing and performing that show, had me thinking a lot about my father, who lost his battle with cancer when my oldest son was only seven weeks old. So having a chance to be involved with an event raising much needed funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, was a great opportunity for me and just at the right time. On the night of the relay there were a lot of wonderful moments, but the one which really got me was when Kim Butler accompanied by Beth Allaby stood on stage and sang while all of the participants lined the relay track and lit our Luminaries in memory of loved ones who we had lost to cancer or in tribute to those who had beaten cancer. As I lit the memorial Luminary with my father's name on it and stood back
while the previously happily-rowdy relay participants fell silent to hear the beautiful song, I suddenly felt connected to every single person in that park. We were all united in our pain, our joy, and in standing up against cancer. At that moment, there wasn't a dry eye in the area. They were tears of grief and tears of happiness and of hope, all at once. Grief for pain and loss of loved ones, happiness for those who have survived, and hope that with the help of funds raised through events like Relay for Life, we will see a day when the memorial Luminaries at future relays will be for people lost ages ago, because we will have finally beaten cancer thanks to the tireless work of the Canadian Cancer Society. Each of us have been affected in some way by cancer. I highly recommend that you get involved with Relay for Life this year, and take the opportunity not only to give back to the Canadian Cancer Society as thanks for everything they have done and are doing at this very minute to battle this terrible disease, but also as a way of confronting the disease itself and the impact it has on us. I guarantee that during the luminary ceremony, and throughout the relay event, you will feel the strength and the community connection in this battle against cancer that I felt last year.
Join a team, sponsor a participant, sign up to volunteer. Whatever you do make sure you are involved in this incredible event. You won't regret it. 2746

GET FRESH WITH FOOD IS COCONUT OIL REALLY GOOD FOR YOU?
from a dietician. Naturally, I thought this was not true. I felt inclined to write her a letter explaining what the research shows. However, the research is not conclusive. I talked to Bruce Sweeney and he said, "…if you eat food the way nature intended, you will live the way nature intended!!!" He also pointed me to a couple articles, which paint a beautiful picture of the health benefits of coconut oil. On the other side of the coin, coconut oil has one of the highest levels of saturated fat of any of the commonly consumed oils. For this reason, it has been warned against for those who struggle with heart problems. There are, however, different types of saturated fats; some raise good cholesterol and others raise bad cholesterol. I read about coconut oil from about 15 credible sources and what it boils down to is a balanced scale of pros and cons. While I am 100% confident that canola oil is not healthy, coconut oil has time and a place. Kris Carr, a cancer survivor who wrote Crazy Sexy Diet, wrote a very well expounded article about the subject that seems to be perfectly representative of
The entire field of nutrition is an ever shifting slider on a scale that weighs the collective opinions of millions of educated professionals and researchers. It is for this reason that I always try to have an open mind towards new ideas and criticism. Although, there are certain things that I have enough confidence to say that we know for sure. We know that the further a food is from its natural state, the less healthy it is likely to be. We know that refined sugars and high-fructose corn syrup are poisonous for the human body. We also know that if you can’t most pronounce of the ingredients on package, than is not really food. So when a customer challenges me about something I am confident about, it can turn my world upside down. Recently, a customer was upset that I would recommend coconut oil as a healthy option. She quoted canola oil as a healthy oil, showing a graph about the saturated fat content of different oils that she received
by Dave Wolpin
all the research I have done. Saying it better than I ever would, she concludes that, "coconut oil is neither a menace nor a miracle food. Coconut should be treated the same as other high-fat plant foods: enjoyed primarily as a whole food. It is loaded with fiber, vitamin E and phytochemicals and has powerful antimicrobial properties. However, it should be viewed like other concentrated oils: a food that provides a lot of calories with few nutrients. When your diet is high in concentrated fats, it can be difficult to meet your needs for other nutrients. Use some coconut oil when preparing specialoccasion treats, but don’t rely on it daily. Base your diet on whole plant foods, and when you do use coconut oil, make sure it is organic and virgin." 0039

ASK THE CHEF BEST KIND OF RICE Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another great question to answer. This week I got a question about rice. What is the best kind and what is the best way to cook it? This is a hard question to answer because there are over 40,000 different varieties of rice. To make it easy we can break this down into four major categories of rice; Indica, Japonica, aromatic and glutinous. Rice is one of the first seeds that humans started to eat. We can’t put an exact date on it, but historians say it is between 8,200–13,500 years old. It is the most consumed starch product and second most produced grain in the world after corn. Enough of the history, here are some ways to cook it and what rices are the best. Around here we do not have a lot of choices when it comes to rice. There is some that should never be used, but are the easiest to make. That’s right, Minute Rice and Uncle Ben’s style rice. These are simple rices that are not naturally

produced and often just dehydrated. You just have to boil in water and serve. The most popular rice is basmati. A rice from India that is long grains and very aromatic if prepared correctly. The secret to good basmati rice is washing your rice. Rice contains a lot of starch and by washing it, you will produce a light fluffy rice. You should wash the rice in cold water until the water stops being so cloudy. The clearer the water, the less starch, which means a better product. Drain off as much water as possible. Add two times the amount of water as you have rice. Cover your pot and bring this to a boil. Turn your pot down to minimum and leave for about 20 minutes. Do not remove the cover to see how it is doing. This will release the steam and you will not end up with a good product. After the 20 minutes, remove from all heat, give the rice a good stir and leave it covered until you are ready to eat. Since Basmati rice is an aromatic rice, you can add to it to bring out the flavours. Often people sweat off diced onions, a bay leaf and two to three cloves in oil. Then add your
washed rice and water with a tablespoon of butter. Follow the same cooking procedure and you will find it has a touch of flavour. The French cook rice in an oven and it’s what we call Pilaf. You do not wash your rice but you cook it in a small amount of oil with some diced onions. Add twice the amount of water, butter, salt and pepper. Wrap your pot tight with foil and place in the oven. This take a little longer than the stove top method but produces a different flavour. I wish I could go on and maybe I can come back to rice another time as it does have such a long history and so many varieties that I could go on and on. I hope you try these new methods and stay away from the man made rice that is out there. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

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 “learnby-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. For more information call Faith McMillan at 433-5227 or check out our website at: 5386.toastmastersclubs.org. G31

MUSINGS by Debbie Hickey TV WATCHING NEWEST DANGER? I don’t know if you have heard of the recent study on the health concerns of television watching. There have been a number of studies and reports and news articles regarding the western world’s sedentary lifestyle and the dangers of our excessive sitting. This latest is from researcher J. Lennert Veerman, of the University of Queensland, Australia, and colleagues in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, who state categorically "Every single hour of TV viewed may shorten life by as much as 22 minutes". this doesn’t sound like much, just 22 minutes, until you start to do the math. Here goes . . . Further online research seems pretty consistent that the average Canadian adult watches 30 hours of television per week. Over a 52 week period that would
be 1560 hours per year, which is 65 days (those are 24 hour days folks). That would be better than 2 months per year. If each hour watched is indeed a 22 minute reduction in your lifespan, that is 572 hours per year, 23.8 days . . . over three weeks per year. Still doesn’t seem that scarely. Three weeks, phtt . . . so what. But wait. If you consider the longer term, say just to age 75, those numbers get more serious. From age 20 to age 75, that is 85,800 hours (9.79 YEARS) of watching tv. Using that same 22/60 ratio, that adult television watcher will live 3.59 years less than the non TV watcher. And likely be less healthy during those latter years to boot. Let’s get real though. I don’t actually expect millions of adults to just turn off the television tomorrow (although the advertising dollars that could drive to print publications like ours would be wonderful!). A more realistic suggestion
would be to get up and move at least a little rather than spend the whole time sitting. Get rid of the remote and get up to change the channel. Take a walk around the living room during every commercial break. Drag out that old stationary bike and put in a few miles (okay kilometers) while watching the news. According to Dr Oz, walking just ten extra minutes per day can gain you 2 more years of life. That might not totally negate the TV watching, but it all helps. “If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.” ~ John Lennon. 0002
