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

Your Guide to Your Spring Home Improvements

Spring To It! You’ve probably heard the old saying, “There are four seasons in New Brunswick; almost Winter, Winter, still Winter, and Construction.” Construction season is fast approaching. Whether or not you currently have a project on your mind,

The Sussex Herald

there are a few things to consider before you get started. Are you renovating with the intention of increasing your home’s value, comfort, or both? Not all renovations are created equal. Kitchen renovations

can increase the value of your house equal to the cost of the renovation. It is recommended though to keep the relative value of the kitchen in line with the rest of the house. A house that was worth $60,000 and recently had a $40,000 dollar kitchen renovation is

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.

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.

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

If you’re planning to do renovations

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

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?

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 a few things you can do in the spring to

FAMIly MATTeRS 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.

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

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

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

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, motion activated hand dryers, animal cruelty and gulping. 0032

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! “Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.” ~ Rudyard Kipling. 0002 Debbie Hickey President, Ossekeag Publishing
