For those living in a cave... a federal election campaign is on!! Unfortunately it will also be one of the longest campaigns in over a hundred years. Oh... GOODY!! Despite the fact that democratic elections are truly important, most pundits are suggesting that we just focus on enjoying the rest of our summer and start to tune in to the election somewhere after Labour Day. Mikie says, “I second that emotion”. Other... simply thrilling news is... “Windows 10 is now available!! Remain calm”. If you are currently using Windows 7 or 8, you can safely keep using them for another 5 plus years and still receive all security updates. If you are currently very happy, relax and do nothing!! If you have noticed, Windows 9 has never arrived. Microsoft has decided that they want people to feel that Win 10 is much different from Win 8. Having purchased a new used computer, I have just downloaded and installed Windows 10 to test it out. For everyone using Win 7 or newer the upgrade is free and for me... trouble free. Be aware, however, if your system has lots of older or unusual software or hardware, the more likely you are to experience problems. Mikie says, “Just like the election, let Windows 10 simmer for a while.” The free upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 is good for at least one year. Mikie will try and highlight anything

about Windows 10 that seems really interesting in a future Ravings. I know!! You are wondering!! Why in heck is Mikie still writing or whatever he calls it?? Well, let’s see. Selling a business is considerably more complicated than finally parting with your 1942 DeSoto!! Anytime that you have to involve bankers and lawyers... well... life just starts to get complicated. On the other hand, it is probably fair to reasonably assure new owners that the property was not a former toxic waste dump. Equally important though, is that we need to spend enough time (likely months) with the new owners to ensure that they are fully familiar with virtually all aspects of the business. So patience please, it won’t be forever that you are stuck with me and the “ole missus”, but it will be for a while yet. 0001

POINT OF VIEW BACK TO SCHOOL Fear not, little people, for I have great news. Your long days of boredom, too much sun and sleep-ins are almost over. Let's flash those pearly whites and say it together now – BACK TO SCHOOL! Yes, that's right. In a few short weeks, our wallets will be empty and our precious little bundles of joy will be packing up their book bags and heading off to a whole new world of structured learning – many for the very first time. With a daughter entering Grade 10 and twin step-sons off to Grade 11, I feel like a bit of an old pro at this back to school business. There are no tears (at least not from me), and aside from the dreaded lunch making ritual, it's really a joyful time. It's also nice to get back into a routine, no matter how hectic. For parents of first time students, however, it can be a bit stressful. You'll likely question yourselves about whether you've done everything you
can to prepare your child for his or her first real taste of independence. The fact is that you can't be there to do everything for them, but you can teach them how to do things for themselves. Something as simple as being able to go to the bathroom by themselves (bum wiping included), builds their confidence and allows teachers to focus on the fun of learning. To that end, I asked my teacher friends for any advice they might have for parents who are new to the school experience. Here are a just a few great tips to think about and use. Don't send shoes with laces if they can't tie. Have your child practice opening lunch containers, zipping zippers and buttoning buttons. Always keep extra socks and mittens in your child's book bag, and make sure they are dressed for the weather. Having your child pack their book bag at night avoids chaos in the morning. Send oranges already peeled or cut up. Practice holding a pencil, printing
their name and using scissors. Make sure your child knows your names (not just Mom and Dad), phone number, bus number and the area where they live. Teach them to blow their own nose (all teachers will thank you for that). Have school supplies ready for use on the first day and try to do homework right away (before electronics/play). Most importantly, let your child know that you and their teacher are a team who both want the best for them. “It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings” - Ann Landers. 0032

There are two kinds of people in this world: those that care about bullying and those who should care about bullying, because it affects all of us. Maybe some of you out there are saying, I was never bullied, it doesn’t affect me. It does. I don’t remember being bullied that much during my school years, either. Perhaps, I was just so average that there was nothing to pick on me about. Maybe I was just extra quiet and slipped by unnoticed like a short ghost. Or possibly it’s because Caleb is a hard name to create a silly rhyme with or turn into a childish nickname and eight year olds aren’t that clever. Whichever way it was, I got by without too much

trouble, but I have friends that didn’t have it so easy, and it seems that their whole life was coloured by those early years when someone hated them for no reason. It’s easy to think that kids will grow up and forget about it, or that it’ll toughen them up. But for those kids who get bullied day after day, year after year, it doesn’t get better. The voice of their bullies’ jeers come at them from the back of their minds, for what could be decades. To them, bullying wasn’t just a skinned knee on the pavement, it was more like

great novel with still be stuck inside of them. Perhaps they would have made an excellent diplomat, if they only had the courage to join the debate club and start down that path. Every bullied kid who never takes that first big step puts us all one step backwards. For every adult who feels like they’re walking through life carrying all the stones that have been thrown at them, we all fall behind. And it isn’t their fault. It’s easy to say that it’s the bully’s fault and be done with it. And the lion’s share of the blame does lie with the bully, but I think there’s a little bit left for anyone who ever saw someone being bullied and could have helped but didn’t. Especially when it’s two children. A child bully may know it’s wrong to bully, but they also know that it might get laughs from the other kids, and to a kid, that feeling of acceptance can be a big reward. Until the risk of getting caught
outweighs the reward of being a bully, the bullying is likely to continue. If we only lived in a world where anyone who saw someone being bullied stepped in and did something, how long would it take to wipe out bullying? The thinking that bullying is just one of those things is old and outdated. People used to think that Polio was just one of those things that some people got and there was nothing you could do about it. But the few that thought otherwise made it so that I was born into a world where Polio wasn’t a threat. We live in a world where our combined effort as a human race has built skyscrapers, crossed oceans, and sent rockets hurtling into space. We can talk face to face with people in Australia, and we can beat Phineas Fogg around the world and still have roughly seventy-six days to spare. We can type any question into our computer and get an answer, most of the time it’s even the right answer. We can absolutely stop bullying, if we all pitch in. There are some warning signs to watch for if you think your kid might be a classroom bully. It can be hard to accept that your child might be a bully, but if you know what to look for you might be able to get ahead of the problem and stop it before it gains momentum. If you’re having trouble deciding if your child is a bully, than try to decide if you think their friends seem like bullies to you. The cliche, birds of a feather flock together, might just hold true in

these situations, and evaluating your child’s friends might give you the room you need to be objective. Perhaps you’re frustrated because your child is frequently disobeying you, and has violent or aggressive outbursts. These can be a sign of being a bully. An abundance of scrapes, scratches and other small injuries can also be a strong clue that your child may be too rough at school. Bullies, often have low self esteem, and can become obsessed with popularity at school. The drive to be with the right crowd can lead them to bully others who they see as being different or “weird” to gain acceptance and popularity. Kids who are being bullied also suffer from low self esteem, but instead of being violent and angry, these kids seem sad and depressed, frequently wanting to be alone. Bullied children will often suffer from headaches and stomach aches, and
will try to feign an illness to stay home from school. These days though, bullying isn’t just in the classroom. If you noticed a marked changed in your child’s behaviour after using the computer or telephone, they may be a victim of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying happens when someone stalks someone else on the internet, or calls them at home, and berates them, either publicly or privately. This type of verbal abuse can be harder to detect as it doesn’t leave any bumps or bruises, but it’s just as damaging.
There are plenty of places to find more signs and symptoms of children being bullied, and being bullies. I’m not a doctor, nor am I a therapist, nor a parent; so, I’d like to end this by saying that if you truly believe that your child is being bullied or being a bully, get in touch with the school and find help, for all of us. Who knows what each child is capable of if we only set them free on the world without a bag of stones to carry. Caleb Burns

IN THE GARDEN GARDEN CENTRE SALES This is the time of year when the ‘tail enders’ are on sale at many of the garden centres and the temptations are numerous, however care needs to be taken before giving in to the lure of these bargains. If the plant you are deciding upon is seriously pot bound (seemingly popping out of its container), it might be more trouble than it’s worth, yet with sufficient care and constant watering many of these sale items can be nursed back into worthwhile plants. The first thing to do is to remove them from the pot and let them soak up water in a shaded corner until the jumbled roots can be teased out of their pot like form; a hole twice as wide as the pot they were living in and somewhat deeper needs to be prepared with a good supply of compost and either well rotted manure or a few tablespoons of bone or blood meal placed in the bottom, there should be enough of the compost that the plant,
when placed in the hole, will be at the same level in the new location as it was in the pot; the roots will, with any luck and constant watering, reach out into the new earth to form a good enough root system to withstand the on-coming winter. Even though we have had many overcast days in the past weeks, most locations are desperately in need of rain and weeding has become hard work, akin to digging into concrete, however, there’s a lot of jobs that can be done that don’t require hard labour; keeping the ground under fruiting trees, shrubs and vegetables clear of fallen leaves etc. goes a long way toward discouraging pests to take up residence and the browning leaves of Iris and lilies are ritzy homes for earwig, slugs and the like. Cutting out portions of bushes that show diseased twigs or those that rub together in the wind is a very good practice for preventing damage and most trees/bushes need to be examined for new shoots, that if allowed to grow will not only sap the strength but eventually block out the light and air that are essential for

the health of the plant. Clematis suffer greatly during dry weather and although the foliage and flowers prosper in the sun, they will quickly perish if their feet are not kept cool, so, extra compost and generous watering are essential if the plant is to thrive. Conifers often present unsightly browning during summer and seriously affected branches might well benefit from removal, some are afflicted with spider mites and assorted insects and these can often be dislodged by using a forceful garden hose, they hopefully will be flushed down to ground level and their shocked and stupefied state will make tasty dining for the birds. A good preventive method against browning is to give good spacing between trees.... Blessings! 0038 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

hen I was seventeen, my family and I packed up everything we owned and moved from Saint John to the country for better weather and to be closer to my Mother’s aging parents. A year and a half later I was hired at Ossekeag Publishing for the first time. I would be hired back another five times by my count, as I filled in my summers home from university, once again working with my Ossekeag family. For most of my time with Ossekeag I was a layout artist and saw absolutely everything that went in our four community magazines. So, when I sat down to write what it is to grow a community, I took my lessons from all of you, our readers, our advertisers, and all of the groups and committees that fill our pages with events & stories. When you get right down to it, as sure as water grows plants,

comm caring grows communities. People caring for other people is at the heart of any happy community. If you flipped the dictionary open and looked up “community” you might find the top two definitions very similar to these: 1. a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common; 2. a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. These two definitions accurately define the body of a community and the soul of a community. That feeling of fellowship and friendliness is what separates the vibrant active communities that draw people in from the stagnant communities that are passed by. It’s easy as pie to help grow your community too, and in just one single step: be there and care. Show up to the BBQ’s and car washes put on by local charities. Visit your local
small businesses and restaurants. Go to the movies in the parks, and the festivals. Enjoy the buskers and fairs. Find a church supper and enjoy a home cooked meal that you didn’t have to cook, or do the dishes. Shake hands or exchange hugs with a few folks and get to know the people around you. Communities are living things, and they thrive or perish based on the people who reside in them. Volunteer groups who see their memberships dwindle year after year one day cease to exist. Fairs and festivals, with declining traffic, seem less worth the effort than a yearly success that is talked about for the rest of the month. It’s the people who show up and enjoy themselves that drive volunteers to spend their countless hours organizing and planning. And it’s the businesses in the area, both small and large, that support them. Everytime we drive for hours to get better deals somewhere else, or we wait days for things to arrive that we used to purchase

down the street, we hurt our community. Sure, we save a couple bucks, but so many more are going out of our communities and into someone else’s. So get out and try new things in and around your community. You may find something that you’ll love for the rest of your life. I remember one day, it was years ago now, an older gentleman came into the office and was in a mild panic. He needed to know when the Havelock turkey supper was as he absolutely couldn’t miss it. It was a tradition for him since he had piled in with a group of friends so many years ago, and had one of the best turkey dinners of his life. And he hasn’t been the only one coming in looking for the date of a particular supper or event. We usually find the information they are after, even if we have to make a few phone calls to track it down. The biggest way to care for community isn’t attending events, or donating money, it’s donating time, and there are a thousand ways to do it. Whether you choose to read to
people, in hospitals or senior’s homes, coach kid’s sports, join a community organization, or just clean up the streets in your neighbourhood, you’re building your community into a better place to be, and why shouldn’t you. Don’t you deserve to live in a wonderful active community with caring neighbours and clean streets? Of
course you do, everybody does! The thing that surprised me most when I moved from the suburbs of Saint John, after living in the city limits, but not in the city proper, was how much was going on in the country and how involved people where with it. It was a completely different way of life. I had been to church suppers in Saint John, but they always seemed like a matter-of-course event to me. In the country they were cherished events, dreamt about when they came close, and enjoyed thoroughly when they happened. I don’t think the food was any better, I think the big difference was that everyone knew each other, in more than just a how do you do and a handshake kind of way, and that made all the difference. People caring about other people turned simple church suppers into a hallowed tradition. And wasn’t it the same way for the older man who visited our offices one sunny day. His first visit was an unexpected trip with friends he cherished, so I ask you did he go back for the turkey or the memories? Caleb Burns

FAMILY MATTERS SLIDES, SWINGS AND TEETER-TOTTERS Summer is for playgrounds. The sand, bars, climbers, teeter-totters, blocks, swings, slides, tunnels, bridges, merry-go-rounds and mazes do much more than enhance creativity. Playgrounds of all kinds provide wonderful unstructured opportunities
for exploration using all of our children’s senses. Playgrounds give children a chance to incorporate colors, sizes, sounds and texture to the benefit of their development. Under careful supervision and with the help of standard playground rules, parents should encourage the multiple uses for each piece of equipment. Using playgrounds to their fullest potential during free-range play has innumerable benefits for children.

Eight fundamental playground benefits can help children’s physical, social and cognitive development as well as integrate their senses. Benefit 1 – Improves Leg Strength. Climbing, jumping and teeter-totter use are all excellent ways to get the leg muscles firing. For example, when kids climb up a slide they must use their hamstrings to walk their way up. Benefit 2 - Upper Body Strength and Coordination. Alternating arms improves reciprocal movements such as when using the horizontal hanging ladder. Benefit 3 - Core Activation and Balance. Climbing up the slide, balancing on a beam or jumping from block to block works the muscles of the core. Core strength is vital when completing different activities during the day, including desk work and fine motor tasks. Benefit 4 - Risk Taking. Children learn how to use their bodies and interact with the physical environment by experimenting and taking risks. The playground is a perfect place for risk taking where children can be empowered and build confidence in safe and appropriate ways. Benefit 5 - Taking Turns. Figuring out who goes up or down a slide first is a great opportunity for negotiation, social interaction and language development. Benefit 6 – Proprioceptive Input. The sensation of heavy work provided when using the merry-go-around or playground lever improves body awareness. Benefit 7 – Vestibular Training. Inverting oneself on a swing or hanging upside down on the monkey bars challenges a child’s vestibular system by using gravity, speed and changes in direction in playful ways. A child must also learn to orientate once back on two feet. Benefit 8 – Motor Planning. Figuring out how to turn around and come back down from the top of the monkey bars is a great motor planning activity. Alongside your children, this week explore creative and new ways to use your local playground equipment and enjoy the parenting Anita Hofmann journey. 0006 Occupational Therapist

Q. Can I have savings if I file for bankruptcy?
A.
Building up savings during the period of a bankruptcy is encouraged. Bankrupts do not have overdrafts and line of credits to pay for emergencies and so must live on a cash basis. Building up cash reserves and savings is important to relieve financial related stress and deal with unexpected expenses. It also is part of the road to recovery. The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act does have provisions that deal with a debtor’s income. These provisions are called “surplus income” and state that if a debtor has the ability to pay something to their creditors, then they should. It is not a fine or penalty. Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty. Additional information can be obtained on our website or by contacting our office.

ASK THE CHEF THE CHILL ON BERRIES Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week we were talking about the best way to freeze berries. Berries are something New Brunswick has a lot of but such a small season for each. It would be great to have fresh local berries all year round but that is not possible. So what is the next best thing? Well frozen berries would be but it is not the same. By freezing berries, we change the structure of the berry and once they thaw, they become flat and a lot of the water comes out of them. So what can we do to fix this? Well nothing but we can try a few things to improve them. The worst thing to do when freezing berries is to just throw them in a bag, tie it tight and freeze. This will give you a big ball of berries and the only thing you can do is make a pie, jam or sauce with it. What I do is a long process but works much better. I take my berries and I lay them out on a baking sheet so that they are not touching each other. I freeze them as quickly as possible. Once they are frozen, I immediately place them in a bag and back into the freezer they go. This way each berry keeps its shape and does not leak as much water. If you only need part of the bag, this method will allow you to remove some and not all. The integrity of the berry weakens and appears to be more like a bruised berry. This will happen no matter what but you can now use these berries in cereal, on a parfait, in your yogurt and even top a dessert with it. Another trick you can do is when you are placing your frozen berries into the bag is to give them a dusting of sugar. Only thing to remember with this is that you have already added some sugar and you would need to know the application which you will be using for these berries. This allows the berries to come apart more easily. You can also use a blast freezer. This will freeze your berries in a matter of minutes, but is an improvement
over the previous method because the integrity of the berry isn’t as effected. Now you can always just go and buy a half pint of American or Mexican berries at the store all year round, which have been gas ripened, and lacking in any berry flavour, for $5.99 or take some time and preserve as much local berries as possible, so you can enjoy them all year long. 0040

MUSINGS SO THE ELECTION IS ON Big surprise, right? And right now we are all in summer, kick-back and relax mode with politics about as far on the back burner as it can get. Not to worry, you will have plenty of time come September to give your head a shake and tune in to the issues. I do not consider myself a “political” person. I have no party affiliation and over my lifetime I have voted for a variety candidates from a variety of parties, both federally and provincially. But I have always voted. It amazes me that so many people do not vote, seeming to think their one vote won’t matter. Over the last five federal elections since 2000 the average voter turnout has been in the area of 62% (Elections Canada website). That means out of 10 of your family, friends and neighbours, four did not vote. That is a HUGE number, and yes
your one vote, when combined with all those other missing votes, could make a HUGE difference. So don’t cut short your summer mode, summer is over way too soon anyway. But please do take some time during those 6 weeks before the election (which is more than enough time) to listen to what the different parties are planning for the country. Give a little thought to what is important to you. Got an opinion on the Senate? Who is going to do something about it? Is the environment important to you? What party comes closest to your point of view? Perhaps you dislike the whole system and would like a chance to vote for the prime minister separate from the local candidate. Who is looking at parliamentary reform? What I really dislike though are the so called “attack ads”. I am not interested in why someone feels their opponent is the wrong choice. What I want to know is what they are planning to do for our country that would make them
the right choice. Because whoever we elect (and it is us who make that choice) we can expect to have for 4 years, so it would be wise for us each to make an effort to decide what is important to us and our families and our communities and take a few minutes to vote. See you at the polls. “Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” ~ Abraham Lincoln. 0002
