RAVINGS SPRING TRAINING It is not just baseball players who should be out doing their spring training. Most of us... yup... you too... have been under-exercised this past winter. Hibernating as we have been doing, burns few calories and flexes even fewer muscles, except for those used in snoring. I can think of two very good options for getting your spring training started . . . You could join an official exercise program at a local gym. Unfortunately, this option is not available to me. Once upon a time, when I worked for the YMCA (Saint John and Moncton) I used to run around in little blue shorts with white stripes and a snug fitting T-shirt. Since then my bulges have rearranged themselves. In order to hide my current bulges, my exercise outfit is more likely to be loose ratty shorts and a very old sweat shirt. Customers at a commercial establishment would have one of two very different opinions. Spandex one would be “Yuck, I am NOT going anywhere near him!!”, while

Spandex two is saying “How nice of him to feel comfortable enough to wear his home comfort clothes in public!!” So the “stay-at-home-and-wear-whatyou-want-spring-training” program is this. . . shoveling snow!! Yes... strange I know but the snow is delightfully heavy this time of year making for a great workout. The temperatures are moderate, meaning light weight clothing is possible, but here are the real benefits. First, you’ll be in great shape for the next winter from hell or in my case ready to work in the woods!!! Secondly, if you have a nice patch of bare ground where the sun will shine brightly, you have a snow melting factory. Shovel that snow from where you don’t want it (the garden that the Missus misses) onto that sun warmed ground and just watch it slowly but surely melt it’s rotten soul upon the ground. I am estimating that we will see real spring (flowers,etc.) at least 2 and a very possible 4 weeks sooner than just letting mother nature run her course. And... best of all... I might get a bit of shifting of the bulges!! 0001

SAVOR THE FLAVOR AT CHINA COAST

After my recent dining experience at the China Coast Restaurant in Rothesay, I refer to this hidden gem of a restaurant as the coast with the most......food I’ve ever seen! As a lifelong lover of Chinese food, I’ve tried, tested, enjoyed and notsoenjoyed dishes from many different restaurants. So, when a coworker asked me if I’d like to join her for lunch at China Coast, I couldn’t say no. After all, we had been graciously invited by the restaurant’s general manager and coowner, Helen Hua, to come by and try some of their signature side dishes. When I walked through their front door, the first thing that caught my attention were the wonderful aromas drifting from their lunch buffet. After we were greeted and seated by a couple of friendly staff, we made a beeline for the buffet table. We didn’t know then that Helen’s husband, Kang, was already busy preparing about six of their signature side dishes for us too. When I inspected the large selection of buffet items, I immediately loved the fact that their individual serving trays are much smaller than you see in many restaurants. That tells me that they only prepare small amounts at the time, so your food is always fresh and hot. I loved this concept, and wish more restaurants did the same. After taking my first bite, I was surprised by all the flavor. I didn’t realize how bland other Chinese food I’d tried really was, until I tried their lemon chicken, sweet and sour pork and Singapore style vermicelli. The vermicelli, which is of their spicier dishes, isn’t something I would normally try, but it wasn’t so hot that I didn’t enjoy it. Surrounded by six huge servings of their signature dishes, which also include: Szechuan chicken, curry chicken, gai ding, gai pan and house fried noodles, we were getting some funny looks from our restaurant neighbours. They clearly thought we went a little overboard. Helen shared with us that they opened their doors in 2003 and, at the time, were the first and only Chinese restaurant in town. Their goal, she said, has always been to provide patrons with a quaint and comfortable dining atmosphere. They take pride in providing their customers with excellent food prepared with quality ingredients and special attention to flavor. Speaking from my own experience, they’ve done a great job of both. In addition to a large selection of appetizers and soup, they offer dine in and take out dishes categorized by vegetable, pork, chicken, beef, rice, seafood, chow mein, noodle and egg foo young. They also have several combination plates to choose from. If you’re really hungry and savour the flavor, China Coast Restaurant won’t disappoint. It gets my huge stamp of approval. ~Diane McMillan

POINT OF VIEW PET PEEVES I believe pet peeve is the polite way of saying it, but I like the dictionary definition better – something that annoys or bothers a person very much. Let's face it, we all encounter things in our lives that irks us, and I am no exception. The subject of pet peeves popped up, literally, the other day when I was smack dab in the middle of a good read. If you're an internet user, you know of what I speak. They're called pop ups, and they're really annoying. You click on the link, get right to the best part of your story and, bam, an ad pops up and covers the text you're trying to read. It's impossible to ignore, as much as you want to, because it's effectively blocked out your story and there's only one way to fix it. You have to stop what you're doing, click on the pop up and pray it disappears. Slow drivers are, without a doubt, another of my biggest pet peeves. I sometimes wonder if these folks were put on the earth just to make my life miserable. I can't begin to count the number of times I've set out for an important appointment only to get stuck behind someone out for a Sunday drive......on a Tuesday! Why is it that law enforcement only hand out tickets to those who exceed the posted speed limit? Why not give out tickets to those who drive far below it too? I guess I just can't sympathize with people who choose to drive 40 km in an 80 km zone. If they want to drive slower, the right thing to do is find a safe place to pull over, let the long line of traffic that's stuck behind them go by, and then proceed. Oh, and while we're still on the subject, the left lane on the four-lane highway is called the passing lane for a reason – just sayin'. Going to the movies is expensive so, when I go, I want to enjoy the experience. But, without fail, I get stuck behind the loud mouth in row 7 that really just came to spend her two hours texting and talking to her friends. Maybe the low lights, loud volume and the fact everyone else is shutting up is a sign that everyone should shut up. Just a thought. Saggy pants! Some call it a fashion trend,

I call it annoying. Underwear are called underwear for a reason. They're meant to be under your pants, not the top part of your pants. I don't need proof that you're wearing underwear, honestly. Now that I've managed to get annoyed just writing about it, I'll leave you with a few of my other pet peeves. The duck face (save it for the ducks), bad grammar, texting and driving, cutting in line, loud

chewing, activated dryers, cruelty gulping.

unlikely to sell for $100,000. Adding a second bathroom can also yield good returns on your investment and can increase the comfort of your home, especially if you have multiple teenagers living at home. A full bathroom, will add more value than a half bath. If you’re planning on moving soon and renovating (or trying to “flip” a house) to make a profit, remember that the location of your property greatly affects the value as well. Decks and patios are great for increasing living space during our warmer months and can add value to your house. If you’re planning on hiring a contractor, make sure to get a few quotes and ask for references. Check with friends and find out if they’ve had a great experience with a local contractor. If you plan to

do it yourself or with friends, make sure you are aware of the building codes in your area. They are there for your safety, and you don’t want to have to re-build because you ran afoul of the building code or have someone injured when your deck collapses. Whether you’re renovating your house to make a profit or to increase your comfort it is important that the job is done safely and resulting product is well built and will stand up to years of use.

Building?

If you’re planning to do renovations this summer and are still on the fence about whether or not you’re going to do them yourself or hire a contractor ask yourself these three questions. Do I have enough time to complete the project quickly? Some projects

can be left to wait, while others need to started and finished as quickly as possible. It’s ok to build a deck over a couple of weekends, but leaving a roofing job undone could have unwanted consequences. Do I have the skills (and help) necessary to complete the job? Often times construction projects seem easier at the start when they’re just an idea. The thought of swinging a hammer, reading a tape, and running a saw, is simple; but small hiccups can become big problems quickly and can be quite unexpected. Large renovations can present even more problems, especially if you need to reroute pipes or wires during your reno. Decide early on what you can do yourself and what you need to call a professional for.

Do I have the right tools for the job? Having the proper tools can be the difference between a hard job and an easy job. Some tools are quite alike to one another and using them interchangeably may seem like an alright idea, but it’s much easier to accurately cut boards with a circular saw than a reciprocating saw, although both will do the job. Likewise, a reciprocating saw is much better at demolition, but it’s accuracy greatly depends on the skill of the user. If you plan to do a lot of renovations, buying the proper tools to make a job safe and efficient may not be a bad idea. Keep your lawn healthy and green all summer by giving it a head start in the Spring. Having a lush thick lawn isn’t rocket science, and a healthy lawn is less susceptible to weeds and clovers taking over. Lawn maintenance is a year-round endeavour, but there are

For all your Home Improvements Roofs • Siding • Additions • Ceramic Tile • Decks Kitchens & Bathrooms • Hardwood Floors • Garages Basement Finishing • Windows & Doors • Timber Frame Homes

a few things you can do in the spring to help your lawn stay thick and green all summer long.

David Ganong “NBHBA Award for Renovator of the year 2009 & 2013”

1. Give your lawn a really good, deep raking. Thatch, (above ground roots and dead plant matter) can build up above the soil and stop rain water and nutrients from entering the soil. A little bit of thatch is normal and beneficial, but more than a 1/2 inch is considered a problem. Special rakes can be bought or rented from gardening and home improvement stores. Powered dethatchers are also available. Dethatching can be done in the Spring, but it is recommended to do in the late Summer or early Fall, especially if you have a lot to remove. Removing thatch in the Spring, can invite bugs and insects into your lawn and soil. If you have a large lawn, a power dethatcher will likely be your best option, unless you’re also looking to save some time at the gym. 2. Cut your grass more often. For most of us, mowing the lawn is seen as a chore, a bore, and unwanted exercise, so we put it off until the lawn is looking as shaggy as a rebellious teenager. While this certainly saves time, you’re not doing your grass any favours with your buzzcuts. Your grass will stay healthiest if you cut it often and a little bit at a time. Make sure to leave at least three inches. Longer grass will help provide shade for the soil and minimize water evaporation. The shorter cuttings will also break

down faster and return their nutrients to the soil instead of adding to your thatch layer. 3. If you have hard compacted soil, it can be difficult for grass to take root, and hardier invasive weeds will move in and soon you’ll have a field full of yellow dandelions. Aeration can be performed in the spring or fall and methods can vary between walking around with special spiked shoes on to renting an areator from a store. Aerating your lawn helps by letting water and air more readily enter the soil, and the loose soil is much easier for the grass roots to spread through.

4. Fertilizers come in many different formulas and can be applied whenever there is no snow on the grass. For Springtime use, you’ll want to use a “turfbuilder” formula, that is a fertilizer a with slow release nitrogen

formula. If you applied fertilizer in the Fall, then a Spring fertilizer won’t be necessary. The fertilizer should be spread with a broadcast spreader for large lawns, or you can choose to hand spread it over a small lawn. Be sure to follow the directions on the package.

Letting your deck sit after staining to ensure it is totally dry before use, can make all the difference.

FAMILY MATTERS Lesson 2 – The system of loading and unloading the dishwasher helps children develop organization and sequencing skills required for school success. Children must load and turn on the dishwasher before unloading it. Younger children may start with loading the dishwasher. As kiddos grow, parents can add in more steps and responsibilities. Lesson 3 – The daily loading and unloading that can quickly become boring teaches children about responsibility, prioritization and self-control. These are important character strengths that contribute to kids’ success. Children learn the dishes need to get done whether they feel like it. If properly set up by parents, chore charts and reward systems can help motivate. Lesson 4 – Emptying the dishwasher can help kids find their way around the kitchen. Unloading the dishes can lead to the completion of other household chores such as making lunches. Once children know where common kitchen items go, they can start putting their

LESSONS FROM THE FAMILY DISHWASHER Roll your sleeves up all you tired and weary parents and be prepared to hear five wisdoms from the family dishwasher. Known to most of us for being the object of dread, it is likely that most of us can load and unload it in the dark. However, dread no more! The everyday adult activity of doing dishes can play an important role in developing a chore system appropriate for family members ages 3 to 23. To appreciate the value of the dishwasher it might be helpful to look at the lessons it can teach us all. Lesson 1 – Most families need to do dishes daily. This reality can teach children about the importance of routine. Chances are, your family walks past the dishwasher ten times a day and it can serve as a gentle reminder that the dishes need to be done. It is also correlated with other routine family activities like meal preparation and family dinners.

lunches together, setting the table, and preparing meals. Lesson 5 – Taking turns with who's on dish duty helps kids learn about the importance of teamwork. Children find out quickly that their family members can get unhappy eating cereal with a fork if the dishes haven’t been cleaned or unloaded. Dishwasher or not, time in the kitchen performing important daily tasks allows for family time and priceless communications. Doing dishes is a fabulous shoulder-to-shoulder parenting opportunity for children of any age. Enjoy the parenting journey and all of it lessons. 0006

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS It was April 25, 2005 when I first landed at Matsapha Airport in Swaziland and made my way to Piggs Peak, a town about the size of Hampton. Over the course of that visit I met many community leaders – town councilors, teachers, pastors, directors of both government and non-government AIDS organizations; as well as parents, grandparents and children who told me about life in a country with the highest incidence of AIDS and the lowest life expectancy of any country in the world. I learned many things but the one consistent message was that an education for the young people was the greatest need and desire because it provided the best hope for escape from the cycle of poverty and disease that afflicts Swaziland. Upon my return to Hampton, the inaugural Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership was formed comprising Dwight Bond, Kent Burdett, Georgie Day, Mark Perry and myself. In our first year of operation we had a few fundraising events, including our first coffee house organized by Tyler Henderson, and were able to pay school fees for 19 students at Fundukuwela High School. In the 10 years since that first trip to Piggs Peak, the number of students for which we are paying school fees has increased each and every year to the current level of 118 (59 females and 59 males) at two high schools. We have also developed a thriving partnership with “gogos” (grandmothers) in Piggs Peak – the unsung heroes who care for the many orphans in a country that has lost virtually an entire generation of people. One undertaking of the

gogo partnership is a self-sustaining community garden on 10 acres of land that provides food to those most in need. Back in 2005 we laid out three basic principles that guide us to this day: Understand the problem in Piggs Peak; Convey the problem to the people of Hampton; and Provide the opportunity to help. Our thinking was that if a person in Hampton really knew the people of Piggs Peak and truly understood their hardship, then that person would want to help. In Africa it is called “ubuntu”, the essence of being human that compels us to care for our fellow humans. In 2005 when I first conveyed the idea of the Partnership to Piggs Peak’s town manager, Apollo Maphalala, his response was that it was “a dream come true, a God sent venture!” Since that time our relationship has grown and, in a sense, our community’s borders have stretched from Hampton to Swaziland. And 10 years later we are still trying to make dreams come true – dreams for a better future for our neighbours in Piggs Peak.

ASK THE CHEF MICROWAVES, GOOD OR BAD? Colin Sifton here again with another answer to your question. This week we were talking about microwave ovens and whether they are a good thing or a bad thing? What does it do to food and the health value? I remember going to Ottawa to visit friends of the family back in the eighties and they just got a microwave oven. This was a strange new thing and I was very interested in it. I remember watching the middle son put a hotdog in the oven and 2 minutes later it was cooked. It looked all shrivelled up and not like the hotdogs I was used to, but interesting. It was many years later when we got our first microwave and I could play with this new toy. The easiest way to explain how a microwave works is that it cooks inside as well as outside at the same time. Cooking in a pan or oven will cook the

outside then heat makes its way to the center. A microwave hits a specific area in the food with 1600 degrees and then the heat spreads out, cooking everything in its area until the heat drops below 80 degrees. This is apparent sometimes when you get a spot which is much more done and has a lack of moisture. One trick is to let the food sit for a minute after the microwave has stopped. This allows all the heat to work throughout the food. Hundreds of cookbooks dedicated to microwave cooking are on the market. We have all tried microwave cooking, but for the most of us we have gone back to the traditional stovetop and oven way of cooking because it makes the food look and taste how we want it. One item I do like to cook in a microwave is vegetables. What I do is place the vegetables in a microwaveable bowl, add a teaspoon of water, seal tightly, cook for 2 minutes and let stand for one minute. It turns the bowl into a steamer which captures all the vitamins and colour of

the vegetables. The best part is that it can be done while you are plating the rest of your meal. By the time everything else is on plates, your vegetables are done. Microwaves have found their place in our kitchens. They serve a purpose but not what they were originally made for. Life is busy and microwaves were going to give us more time but in the end, food is always better when cooked on the stove or in the oven, slowly and full of flavour. Other items that we will find in most homes in a few more years, which have perfected what microwaves were to be, are induction burners which use electromagnetic heat and combi ovens which use both moist and dry heat to speed up cooking. 0040

LISTEN IN IT’S SPRING TIME! HAPPY RECORD STORE DAY! Last year we talked about this day in-depth with Gordie Tufts who owns Backstreet Records in Uptown Saint John and what it means for Independent Record Store’s and music buyers/collectors in the area. It comes every year and is highly anticipated among a continually growing fan base of vinyl. Hopefully with all that hot wax spinning the snow will melt that much faster. For a re-fresher on my chat with Gordie about record store day go back to the beginning (Scroll way down) of my column online at: ossekeag.ca/ category/listening-in or you can also go to the official site @ recordstoreday.com. The big celebration is Saturday, April 18 and all kinds of special & exclusive limited releases are going to be up for grabs (Sale!). There will also be huge savings on all instock music anywhere between 15% and 20%, depending on the store! I phoned

up the two area stores I regularly drop in to see if I can get my music fix. Backstreet Records on Germain Street in the uptown and Secondspin on Westmorland Place across from the Cinema on the east side. Mike at Secondspin said they will have somewhere around 100 exclusive titles coming in along with the in-store specials. They open at 8:00am sharp until 7:00pm. If you share their event on online you may even win some of that coveted wax. For more details check out Secondspin’s facebook page. Kris and Mike are looking forward to seeing you all! Cory and Gordie at Backstreet Records uptown are opening up at Midnight until about 2:00am to get the festivities going. Local Electronic artist Old Punks will be performing which is a pretty cool way to usher in Record Store Day! “We will have to keep it (the sound) down, because we have residents above us”. Cory says with a chuckle. Backstreet has many exclusive releases coming as well along with instore deals that you will want to take advantage of. Backstreet then opens up

again at 8:00am until 8:00pm that evening with more live local music performing in-store. What a great way to shop while having a unique local soundtrack to your Record Store day experience. Other performers include the kids from the InterAction School of Performing Arts, Local up and comers’ Learning, and The Jesus and the Mary Chain cover/tribute band which is a “spillover” as Gordie puts it from the “LOCAL 107.3FM Presents I LOVE LIVIN' IN THE PORT CITY VI” event that happened earlier in the month. There will also be cake, so enjoy, but try to keep the icing off the carpet, records and ceiling. Haha! Sound like fun! Check out their Facebook page to learn more. Get their early to both stores and make an adventure of the day. Happy Record Store day everyone! 0041

MUSINGS DEER VS GARDENER A few years ago our daughter gifted us with a number of raspberry plants. The first year we got a few berries, the second year we had LOTS of lovely large raspberries, and the third year the deer found the berry patch. Last year they were so persistent that I had very few berries and lots of aggravation! Grrr . . . I know the deer were here first. After all we did build our new home close to the edge of the woods, but it isn’t like they can’t find ample food during raspberry season. No, it is more they have discovered that the stuff people plant in their gardens is just plain tastier! In fact, they will walk right past all the lovely tender little cedar in the woods to come out to my brother’s cedar hedge, which by the way he transplanted from the bunch they just ignored in the

woods. Go figure. Still, when I was a kid growing up on the very same piece of land where we now live, it was a rare event to see a deer. Today, from spring throughout the summer and the fall, it is a rare day I DON’T see a deer. Since this is the new reality, I need to find a way to enjoy the fruits of my labour . . . raspberries, blueberries, apple trees . . . rather than provide a free buffet for the wildlife. Research has suggested a ton of possible solutions. There are the applications of various noxious smelling and tasting sprays (including coyote urine, yuck!), but they need to be reapplied, are equally stinky for us humans, and you must ensure they do not get on the fruit you are trying to protect. Then there are the various motion detecting devices which will spray water on the intruders, shine bright lights on them, or activate a noisemaker of some

sort to (hopefully) frighten them off. Given the proximity of the planting area to my residing area, not a great solution for me. It is just as likely to frighten me out of lovely sleep as it is to protect my garden. So, it looks like a fence of some sort is my best choice. I have read of just using fishing line strung 2 or 3 free above ground level with some tin can noisemakers attached. The theory is the deer will not see the line and will be frightened by the noise. Hmmm . . . think I need something a little more substantial. We could go with electric or with traditional fencing. I really don’t want to construct a palisade; I would like to be able to see my garden. There are metal fences and netting fences, but cost is also a factor and the netting fences seem to deteriorate over time. A final decision is still pending, but I am leaning toward electric. Hopefully this year, the raspberries are mine! 0002
