RAVINGS By Mike Hickey
“SPRING UPDATE”
Well, let’s see what is going on!! I have a couple of loads of wood that I cut over the winter, while doing some thinning, that is now all cut and split. I have also been out this spring doing a bit more thinning and patch cutting. I am going to take it easy though until we get a woodlot management plan in place, because that will help set the priorities in terms of what should be done first. For those individuals who own woodlots and want to take some proactive measures to improve the quality and quantity of wood that is growing, there are remarkably inexpensive services available by joining a local wood co-op. For those who just want to sit on their property and let mother nature do her thing, that is fine also, just consider protecting the property through land trusts or easements that will stop future owners from clear cutting what has taken many, many years to develop. Thanks to the dry spells we have had this spring, I have gotten out to do some more work on my woods road. Unfortunately, after just one heavy rain it takes about a week for it to dry out and useable again. My biggest hope, is that before winter, I will have all of the ditching done so that it should only take a fairly short time to dry out and be usable after a heavy downpour. Back in the woods, we are scouting along the roadside for desirable small trees such as spruce, pine and some cedar, and replanting them in areas that are exclusively fir and/or birch. In just a hundred or so short years, the forest makeup of trees should be significantly better. Every time I walk by my dead hemlock remains, I wonder if there is such a thing as “Tree CPR”. If there is, I suspect that the time for which it might work is long past. Oh Sigh!! Outside of the woods, we are doing a bit more landscaping and planting, but nothing major so far. The grand-grand kids are both very cute and lovable, the missus is still annoying and The Jet seems to be following in her foot steps. (Maybe more later.) On the lighter side: 1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak 2. He who laughs last, thinks the slowest. 3. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. 4. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don’t. 5. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. 800

Writing Workshops & celebrating nature
Are you a budding student writer? Would you like to hone your writing skills? Student writers in New Brunswick are being presented a unique opportunity to fine tune their writing skills with the experts – real authors! Thanks to the Sussex Literary Initiatives and Cultural Events (SLICE) organization, a workshop for middle and high school students is being offered on Saturday, June 2nd at the Lion’s Den at 58 Willow Court in Sussex. Local authors have offered their time and expertise at no cost to the students. The theme of “nature” is tying the workshops together, and several of them will actually be held outdoors. Recognized Kings County writers Kelly Cooper, Janie Gillies, Elaine Ingalls Hogg, Beth Powning, Elizabeth Stevens and Ben Whalen will be sharing their love of nature with their student apprentices. They will lead and inspire the students to use the natural environment as part of their own writing. Seats for the Student Workshops are limited, so students, who may choose one of the six sessions, are advised to register early at the event website listed below. Deadline to register is May 25th. These workshops are part of a larger event entitled “Sussex Celebrates Nature” which has many activities organized to allow the public to experience the scenic nature of the Sussex area on Friday, June 1st & Saturday, June 2nd. There is no cost for any of these events. Mary Majka, the celebrated New Brunswick naturalist from Mary’s Point, NB, will be on-hand to share her story. Accompanying her will be author Deborah Carr, who recently published the book Sanctuary on the life and work of Mary Majka. Carr will offer a writing workshop for adults in the afternoon.

Help Needed!
2014 marks the 100 anniversary of the outbreak of World War I. New Brunswickers were drawn into that enormous global conflict. Many men and women (nurses) from the farms, villages, mills, towns and fishing villages of New Brunswick joined up and served in the Canadian War effort. These individuals wrote letters home and kept diaries of their extraordinary experiences. I ask for your help in preserving those memorable letters and diaries. I am hoping to gather these documents for a book I am researching. Letters and diaries would be borrowed for research and then returned to their owners. If you have any such letters please contact me at: spph@nb.aibn.com; 506-450-9687 or by mail – Dr. Ross Hebb, 3 Southlawn Drive, Islandview, NB E3E 1A2. 820 •SIDING •GARAGE DOORS •WINDOWS •DOORS •STEEL & ASPHALT ROOFING •SEAMLESS EAVESTROUGHING ®

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION! After the life giving rains that we were blessed with in late April the gardens are off to a rollicking start and the plant outlets are bursting with an amazing variety of perennial plants. All very exciting and enticing but, be warned! Most of these will have been raised in an unheated but protective, covered environment. This means care has to be taken to harden them off, an extra cool night or blustery wind could easily destroy them; the best method is to expose them to the elements on days that are fairly cloudy, still and mild, increasing the time spent outside a little each day until they become sturdy. Care needs to be taken to insure that they don’t dry out or become waterlogged by too much juice! Avoid purchasing annuals no matter how attractive the price, there will be a possibility of frost until after the full moon on June 4th. Keeping them healthy for a prolonged period can be time consuming, it’s better to wait a couple of weeks and concentrate on the many gardening jobs that need attention. Chief among these is the spring pruning, by now the rose bushes have leafed out and pruning out the dead wood while the leaves are small is easy to do without damaging the bushes. All dead wood should be trimmed back to the first really healthy leaf buds, making sure that the pruners are sharp; a ragged cut is an invitation to the pests that cause disease. The Forsythia has finished its spectacular display and a pruning with an eye on the overall shape that you would like to see is in order. One great virtue of them is, that a new plant can be produced simply by taking a low growing branch and burying it into the ground with a small rock on top to anchor it, by the end of summer it will have rooted and can be planted in a new location. Deer are again on the rampage and favorite among the early diners are the day lilies. Any smelly concoction will help to ward them off, 1 to 9 parts ammonia with water and a little added oil and soap; a mixture of beaten egg with powdered milk, oil and soap; granulated garlic with egg, soap and oil. These can be concocted fairly cheaply, best sprayed on a still, dry day at a time when you can bung your clothes into a washing machine and head for the shower. The commercially manufactured ‘Bobbex’ seems to have been quite successful. Good Luck and happy gardening. 805

Our government is committed to safer streets and communities and we are putting the rights of victims first. To support victims of crime, our government is introducing legislation that will hold criminals accountable for the crimes they commit and provide justice for all victims. On Tuesday, April 24th our government introduced an act to amend the Criminal Code that would see convicted offenders held more accountable to victims of crime by doubling the victim surcharge they must pay following their crime. By doing so, our government is helping to provide the support victims of crime need to move forward following such an experience. On April 20th, our government introduced the Federal Income Support for Parents of Murdered or Missing Children to help families cope with the death or disappearance of a child. With the introduction of this support benefit, parents can take off the time they need following such a tragic event. The support is a benefit of up to 35 weeks to help ease the financial difficulty parents must deal with. Our government will stand with victims of crime and all Canadians through our commitment to ensuring that our streets and communities are safe. We will continue to take significant steps towards holding criminals accountable and delivering justice for victims. We were elected on that commitment and we will deliver. Yours sincerely, Hon. Rob Moore, P.C, M.P. 527

“THANK YOU, THANK YOU”
Following the fundraiser at the Havelock Memorial Hall, on March 30th, I was admitted to the Moncton Hospital on April 19th and had my cancerous left kidney removed. I am house-bound, dog tied, no driving or work for at least one month. On May 1st I went to the hospital to have all tubes and 19 metal staples removed. Everything seems to be progressing well. Special thanks to the Jam Session members, who put on a great performance, well done. Thanks to the committee who put on the miles and time to collect the articles for the silent auction, the ladies who sold tickets for the 50/50 draw and for the delicious food that was served. A very special thanks goes out to the many people who came from near and far and I am very much obliged for their thoughtfulness and support. Thanks to all, Thomas Smith. The committee of the Fundraiser Benefit which was held for Thomas Smith would also like to thank: the Havelock Memorial Hall who kindly offered the Hall to us; Tom Burgess who did a great job as MC for the evening; all the Jam People who entertained us with their music, singing and stories; Gloria Scribner who composed two poems about Thomas Smith; the ladies who welcomed everyone at the door, as well as doing a fantastic job selling 50/50 tickets; the many businesses who donated willingly; the people who bought items from the auction; people who kindly donated money to this worthy cause and the ladies who worked in the kitchen serving all the delicious food that was brought in.

MUSINGS By Debbie Hickey
E NEWS We recently sent out our very first e-newsletter. This is something we have talked about for some time and although the first issue was quite time consuming the response has been positive, with several of our customers even taking the time to email us to tell us so. It is our hope that our advertising customers will find it a useful resource full of all kinds of tips and information, much as we hope these community magazines provide our readers with a whole community of interesting and useful news and events. I sometimes think of just 12 years ago when Mike and I first began Ossekeag Publishing. We took on an office with just three computers, two for creating the publications and one which was hooked up the internet. Most of our editorial came in as hard copy and had to be typed. Ad copy was a hand drawn sketch or occasionally (from companies with a national presence) an “ad mat” that could be scanned. Very little came to us via email. My six year old grand-daughter is always fascinated by how little connection to the bigger world Nana and Grumpy had as kids. I was her age when our family got our first television, with all of one channel and a GREAT test pattern for large parts of the 24-hour day. Interestingly, though, yesterday we watched some of those same cartoons that I saw as a kid . . . thanks to YouTube. Tom & Jerry and Sylvester & Tweety were both big hits. She laughed . . . and then went back a bit to rewatch the funniest section again. Not only was that impossible when I saw them, I also watched them in black and white, a concept completely foreign to her. She is amazed that there was no Dora, no Treehouse and no Barbie. Progress has lots of good in it, but not all change is positive. “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.” ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt. 801
