“Well hi there everybody, this here is The Jet writing on behalf of old meathead.” For new readers, I am a large black lab and that Mikie feller belongs to me. Let me say that looking after that immature old guy is a big job... even for a big dog!!! I have been trying for years now, as an example, to enlarge his vocabulary. After more than 7 years, he can only say about 3 words... “git... stay... sit”. One of the cats whispered to me some time ago that this guy is supposed to be educated, but frankly, I don’t think he is ready for kindergarten quite yet. Now... he was nice and we went to see my friends at that vet place just a few days ago. Unlike old meat-head, I hear actual phrases like “What a handsome boy” and so on. I blushed almost as much from all of the compliments, as I did when they checked my.... er... temperature. Then they give me what they call needles, but I don’t even notice because they are also giving me treats. And, that’s another bone to pick. No... wait... he doesn’t give me any bones. I have been trying for years now to explain the word “treat” to him, but the guy is thicker than old growth Hemlock. Fortunately, the old guy recently went away for a few days on vacation and I got to go to “Grammy Camp”!! Now, that nice lady knows how to “treat” a big dog, and yes, the pun was intended. Unlike the old feller... I have a sense of humour, which is much needed living

with him, especially now. At that vet place, they also get you to sit or stand on this scale thing and I can hear him suck in his breath when the nice young lady say “98 pounds”. Since then, I can see him practically counting out the kibble. He hasn’t said much, probably due to his limited vocabulary, but I know when someone is trying to cheat me of what are my just desserts! Yea, yea, pun intended. Well... so long for now and if you happen to run into that Mike feller, give him a good kick in the pants from me. 0002

ASK THE CHEF LOVE IT OR HATE IT - BROCCOLI Colin Sifton here again, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your questions. You either love it or hate it but we have all had broccoli. It is a very common vegetable in these parts. It needs cooler temperatures for growing and we definitely live in one of the climates. Now where does it come from? Broccoli was first used in Italy in the 6th century and is a flowering green vegetable which comes from the cabbage family. Many vegetables fall into the cabbage family - Bok choy, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and many others. They all taste and look very different but they all fall under the Cruciferae family. Cruciferae comes from the latin word for cross and it started with flower from a mustard plant; looked like a cross. Broccoli comes in many different forms, depending on where you live, but nowadays broccoli, which we know, is grown all over the world and surprise,
surprise, China produces the most broccoli in the world. The broccoli you find in most grocery stores is Calabrese broccoli. Remember, this all started in Italy so no surprise about the name. Now there are many others like Gai-Lan, which is known to be long thin stocks and a mix between mustard flavour and broccoli flavour. Cook it like you would asparagus. Broccoli Rabe is is similar to Gai-lan with a different flower. This is also known as Rapini. Broccolini taste similar to Calabrese but looks similar to the other two mentioned. Because most vegetables today are a cross between two different plants, it is no surprise that someone came up with broccoflower. You guessed it broccoli and cauliflower mix; similar density to cauliflower with a closer flavour to broccoli and a lime green appearance. Broccoli is one of those vegetables which is better than most for our body and the functions of our body. Broccoli
has a strong and positive affect on our detoxification system as long as it is cooked properly. Broccoli should be steamed, not boiled and should be still crisp when cooked, not turned to mush. Every time you overcook vegetables, all you are getting is small amounts of vitamins and fibre. All we know about healthy eating today and if we are going to go through the process of eating vegetables, shouldn’t we do it right and get as much value out of it as possible? The prices of all vegetables just keep climbing, so don’t waste the value in your vegetables just because that is how you have always done it. Take the time to learn how to do it properly. 0040

WELL RESTED WHY DO WE DREAM? You are soaring above the earth, jumping from building to building, or in a strange new land that you seem to know very well. This seems perfectly normal to you, until you wake up and realize that it was all a dream. You might not know it, but we dream every night. And it's not just an odd occurrence, it serves an essential purpose to our health and well-being. Until the 1950s, it was thought that sleeping was a passive activity and that our brains were mostly in standby mode while we slept. Researchers then discovered that our eyes move back and forth for periods during the night. This is called REM or Rapid Eye Movement sleep. If we are awoken during this time, we can recall our vivid, lifelike dreams. If we are awoken during non-REM or 'quiet sleep', we do not have the same experience. We do not often recall dreaming. By researchers noticing this
eye movement and brain activity, the field of sleep medicine has been able to identify over 80 sleep disorders. Dream sleep is anything but quiet sleep. In fact, brain waves during dream sleep look very much like brain waves during wakefulness. When people are repeatedly awoken out of dream sleep at the beginning of their sleep cycle, they become increasingly disturbed during they day. They exhibit increased anxiety, irritability, difficulty concentrating, an increase in appetite and weight gain, poor motor coordination and feelings of emptiness. The very serious daytime problems that people have after being deprived of dream sleep indicates the importance of getting enough of this sleep stage. Many researchers think that dream sleep functions as a regulatory mechanism for our physiological health since so much nerve and brain activity happen at this time.
Others think that it serves to keep our emotional health in check. We don't actually know exactly why we dream, but we do know that it's essential for a healthy body and mind. So don't fret, get lots of sleep every night and just enjoy the show! 0038

ASK MARY DID YOU EVER WANT TO STOP… TO NOT GO ON? My heart immediately hurts for you and my mind immediately went back to the cold, lonely and heartbreaking place where you are now. I remember every detail of that place and I want you to know that you are not the only one who has felt that way. For all of you who’ve been there… For all of you who are there right now… You are not alone. You think that you cannot feel like this for one more moment… let alone for the next 20 years or more. You want the pain to stop and it doesn’t matter who might be left behind or how it might affect them. You may even think that they’ll be better off to be done with you and your grief. I get that. I understand that like I never, ever did… or could… “before”. You may not believe this but I want to tell you. You matter - Your existence matters. To not survive means leaving behind an emptiness that will shatter others into a million tiny pieces that can never be
put together again. They have already lost one of the most important people in their lives. They cannot lose another. No matter how distressed you are. No matter how much you are grieving each and every day. You Matter. And… this is the most important thing I can tell you… You will not always feel this way. I promise. I hope that you can trust me. Your days will not always be this dark. His death will not always be the first thought you have when you open your eyes in the morning. Her absence will not always be the last thought you have before you fall asleep at night. Your pain will not always be this intense, this suffocating, this loss of all joy. Don’t turn the grief you feel against yourself. Find a safe way to release your pain: call a friend, yell, cry, or turn to your faith. Some suicidal thoughts can be a natural symptom of grief but there is no need to act on them. If you fear that these thoughts are getting out
of hand, seek professional help at once. Do whatever you can… whatever it takes… to help yourself breathe in life… because you matter. So just keep going - one breath at a time. Please email me your questions: mary@ 0016 thesisterhoodofwidows.com.

LOCAL AIR CADET Patrick Candy, 16, attended the Glider Pilot Scholarship Course at the Debert Cadet Flying Training Centre in Debert, NS. Patrick is a member of 639 Air Cadets in Petitcodiac, NB and plays the position of centre with the Sussex Rangers, Minor Hockey Association. He was one of 40 teenagers selected to attend the Glider Pilot Scholarship Course in Debert with the air cadet program this summer. This scholarship program is an intensive six-week course, combining both the ground school and flying portions of pilot training. Patrick studied topics such as meteorology, navigation, theory of flight, airmanship, and more. The Glider Pilot Scholarship is one of the most senior courses that an air cadet may be selected to attend. The course is highly challenging both academically and physically. Patrick's hard work was rewarded when he proudly received Glider Pilot Wings during the graduation ceremony held on Friday, August 12. 4205

HAMPTON ROTARY CLUB NEWS
Every year, each of Rotary’s 33,000 clubs around the world engages in projects that improve health, literacy and education among the globe’s disadvantaged peoples. Over the last three years, the Rotary Clubs of Saint John, Rothesay-Kings, Sussex and Hampton have worked as a group and successfully filled 40-foot shipping containers with donations of footwear, bicycles, and medical supplies, which are shipped to the Dominican Republic and distributed among the villages of the poor Haitian migrant sugarcane plantation workers living there. On Saturday, September 17 Hampton Rotary Club members invite you to drop off: used bicycles; gently-used footwear (high heels are of little use); simple medical supplies (non-prescription medications); hearing aids, hearing aid batteries, eyeglasses; wheelchair repair parts, pads. Drop off day, time and location: Hampton Town Square Pavilion on Saturday, September 17 from 8:00am-2:00pm. Rain date: September 24. Sending a shipping container is expensive, so we will gratefully accept cash donations to help defray those costs. 0003

IN THE GARDEN Why try to explain miracles to your children when you can just have them plant a garden. ~ Robert Brault. Hats off to the community gardeners who have encouraged some fortunate children to enjoy the results of growing their own food and having fun at the same time. The gardens have done extremely well despite the scarcity of water; indeed, I was just about ready to call it a day with ground as hard and dry as rock, when the heavens delivered a goodly amount of rain and my enthusiasm was restored. Gardening is no sport for the impatient and it’s to be hoped that lawns which turned brown will eventually recover! Much can be done whilst the earth is moist; many of the spring flowers will benefit with division and replanting in a new location; revitalised with a good mix of compost, manure, bone meal and fresh earth they can be dotted around the border and the results will be astonishing. Being left in the same
THE GOODNESS OF RAIN place over many years tends to slow up the growth and a move has the effect of a good summer holiday, refreshment and restoration! Blood meal can also be used in place of bone meal and it has the advantage, at least until the plant is on the go again, to repel deer as well as being good for growth. This year has been surprisingly good for the fruit crop and bumper crops have been recorded; however with this bounty comes the need to clean up all the fallen fruit. When left on the ground it encourages undesirable insects to winter over and next year’s crop will be sadly diminished. The daylilies are nearing their end and will benefit greatly if the dead and discoloured leaves are pulled from the plant, not only improving the look of the garden, but also removing habitat for the pesky earwigs that seem to have flourished in the dry summer. One efficient way of dealing with these blighters is to simply lay a piece of pipe,
roll of cardboard or newspaper on the ground overnight, into which they will crawl; in the morning; arm yourself with a bucket of water and the beasties can be tipped into a watery grave. They can also be dispatched with a strong dose of insecticidal soap, (or the famous mixture of dish detergent and water). It is a wise practice at this time of year to take pictures or make a sketch of where things are growing and where you plan to put the spring bulbs. This simple act takes the guesswork out of where it is safe to dig come spring and will save lives! Blessings. 0045

THE RAILWAY AND SUSSEX - 150 YEARS AGO Sussex farmers used New Brunswick’s first railway to dominate the Saint John market, says British historian Ged Martin. Officially, Sussex and Apohaqui were just way stations on a railway designed to link Saint John to the Gulf. The tracks from Saint John reached Sussex in November 1859, and the first through trains to Shediac followed on 1 August 1860. King’s County was already closely linked to the Fundy city. In 1861, Kings, with 9 percent of New Brunswick’s population, was home to 18 percent of its beef cattle, produced 15 percent of its pork and grew 27 percent of its buckwheat. Of course, much of this might just be down to fertile source and good husbandry, but the fact that the county was the source of one quarter of the provincial carrot crop surely points to its market orientation. Sussex Vale, 100 kilometres east of Saint John, was the core of the farming district. As early as 1825, it was described as “highly cultivated and covered with excellent houses and barns.” “The whole valley is cleared and under culture,” said British agricultural expert Professor J.F.W. Johnston, who passed through in
1849. Johnston said he’d seen “few parts of the province which I should prefer as a place of permanent settlement to the neighbourhood of this beautiful valley.” The encomiums continued – “the snug village of Sussex” in 1868, “the centre of the best cultivated section of the Province” in 1884. In the early years of the railway, there were two trains in each direction through to Shediac on the Gulf each day, but there was also a return service that only ran as far as Sussex. In the summer of 1866, this left for the city at 5:30 in the morning, although departure was put back to 7:00am in winter. The function of this early train (with a return service in late afternoon) was evidently to deliver fresh foodstuffs to the city, and Saint John traders often advertised that their food produce was from Sussex, suggesting that this was a talisman of quality. In 1863, 2,146 tons of freight were loaded at Sussex train station, over ninety percent of which was sent west. The actual destinations of Sussex freight were not specified, but we can be sure the produce

was mainly heading for Saint John. In 1861, the line’s full first year of operation, Shediac loaded 240,000 pounds (109,000 kg) of flour and meal made from oats, rye, corn (maize) and buckwheat. That same year, Sussex/ Apohaqui loaded 228,000 pounds (103,000 kg) of non-wheaten flour and meal. But, Kings County agriculturalists spotted an opportunity. The following year, they supplied 366,000 pounds (166,000 kg) of flour and meal, relegating Shediac competitors to a mere 18,000 pounds (8000kg). When it came to butter and cheese, Shediac fought back, probably drawing upon the Tantramar marshes and possibly suppliers in Prince Edward Island. But even here, Sussex/Apohaqui increased its supplies to Saint John by over 50 percent between 1861 and 1865.

Most of us, when we think of a farm, picture beautiful fields of green and gold, idyllic scenes of horses under a tree beside a stream, baby animals or hay bales in the field. And all of that is certainly a part of life on a farm in southern New Brunswick, but farms are also dangerous workplaces. In fact,
from 1990 to 2008, an average of 104 people died every year from agricultural incidents in Canada, according to the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) program. Agriculture is the fourth most hazardous industry in Canada, with 12.9 deaths per 100,000 farm population. 47% of those killed
in agricultural injury events were farm owner/operators and another 14% were children of farm owner/ operators. 70% of agricultural fatalities involve machines, from trucks to tractors, combines, ATVs, Argos and snowmobiles. The danger factor is increased because farmers often work
Keep weeds and grasses trimmed so tractor and ATV drivers won’t run into hidden obstacles and holes that can cause their vehicle to overturn.

alone, often using heavy machinery or interacting with animals. At the same time, farming creates a special opportunity for family members to work together. Farming needs many hands, and some of them are quite young. From the time they are preschoolers, children on family farms are pitching in with the chores. While this creates a need to ensure proper safety measures are both taught and followed by farm children, many
farmers will tell you this opportunity to have more meaningful relationships with their family members, be that children, parents, siblings, or cousins is one of the best parts of farming. On Sunday, September 18, everyone has the opportunity to learn first hand what life on the farm is all about as the Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick holds its annual Open Farm Day. The participating farms are listed at their website at: fermenbfarm.ca/events-2/

His Worship Mayor Marc Thorne, Members of Council and the Staff of the Town of Sussex hope for a safe and productive Harvest Season for the residents of Sussex and surrounding areas.

KWRC “YELLOW FISH ROAD™” On August 3, the Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration Committee hosted our first Yellow Fish Road™ painting event, choosing Hampton as our location. The Yellow Fish Road™ program is a national conservation education initiative created by Trout Unlimited Canada. Since the program was created in 1991, thousands of Canadians have come together to raise awareness about pollution entering local water bodies through storm drains. The goal of this program is to educate Canadians and ensure they understand that the water flowing through our storm drains leads directly into our waterways. The KWRC has joined in a partnership with Yellow Fish Road, to become the New Brunswick representative for their projects. The main method used to raise awareness is visual reminders. The Yellow Fish Road™ program volunteers painted Yellow Fish symbols beside sewers and distributed fish shaped brochures to nearby households. On August 3, the KWRC painted 31 store drains out of the 175 drains to be painted. We would like to extend our gratitude for our volunteers, and remind citizens of Hampton that if you see an iconic yellow fish, think twice about what is released down the drain. 4202

DOLLARS & SENSE WHAT’S IN YOUR WALLET? I don’t know about you but I have a hard time closing my wallet. I would like to be able to and brag and say that it is because there is way too much cash being stored, but alas that is not the case. There is cash, but the majority of items I seem to be carting around are bank receipts and points cards, my wallet has become a cluttered mess of storage. So how do I make my wallet a healthy wallet? Firstly, I am a big believer in cash, especially when it comes to your discretionary spending. I find there is security in have a bit of cash on me and I am less likely to break a twenty than use my debit card so it helps me think about the purchase… and there is no better feeling than finding a five dollar bill stuck in between two receipts. Determine your discretionary spending for a week (coffee, lunches, magazines, pocket change) and take the money out and see how long you can stretch
it. Celebrate when you have money left over. There is also a ‘point’ in someone’s life where they have to decide what points they are collecting. I have about seven and that is not including the coffee punch cards. The thing about point cards are they motivate us to buy and it is near impossible to resist getting something for ‘free’ (even though we may not want nor need this something). Determine which ones you will actually use and redeem. You can do this by looking at what cards compliment your necessary shopping habits (i.e. the essentials of gas and groceries). Looking through your wallet can also help you freshen up your credit. One of the biggest questions I get when presenting on budgeting is how many credit cards should I have and how much is too much? The answer is be practical about it and the less you have the better. If you have credit cards that

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG A JOURNEY OF SELF DISCOVERY AND LEARNING settings was my next challenge. Setting the aperture so that everything in my landscape was in focus or when taking a portrait controlling it so that a dreamy out of focus bokeh was created when taking a portrait was next. I am loving it, I am creating images not just taking them. Buying a filter and slowing down my shutter speed allowed me to create wonderful images of silky smooth oceans among the jagged rocks. We often don’t need a new camera, we just need to learn more about the camera we have and with that I have to admit (most men would not) that I read the manual for my camera. It was then that I realized how dumb I was. That camera was “WAY” smarter than I was/ am. What is next in my evolution? Emotion and feelings. After a while anyone can take a reasonable image, it is so easy with today's cameras and I can see this during our camera club meetings. We would all gather at a location and all get similar
images. But, the ones that stand out are the ones that saw things differently by either changing their perspective, or slowing their shutter speed to capture the flowing wheat field waving in the wind and capturing motion. Those who captured that blissful happy emotion of the fly fisher as he casts his line. These photographers, who can capture these emotions, are the ones who bring their images from good to great.

It is 3:30am and I was contemplating a conversation I had earlier with a friend regarding art and photography i.e. can some photographs be considered art. This got me to thinking about my journey into photography. Remembering back to my first camera I did all kinds of research, looked at tons of images and imagined I was in those exotic locations. My prints were perfect, even though that landscape shot was overexposed and the clouds blown out. I did not notice that uncle Jack was in the image, changing a flat tire or Aunt Bee had a telephone pole growing from her head. With a gentle poke and sometimes a not so gentle nudge, I started to scan the perimeter of my viewfinder to see if there were any unwanted items in the frame. In fact, I came to realize that less is more and that the more simple the image the more pleasing it was. “A” is for not Awesome and “P” is not for Professional, getting off these auto

MUSINGS WARNING, WARNING, WARNING
It had been normal weekday morning and I was driving into the office listening to CBC Radio during my morning commute. I was listening to an interview and literally mid-word the interview was suddenly replaced by the sound of a loud siren-type sound. At first I did not realize it was the radio . . . I was looking at my gauges and such wondering what dire thing had upset my car to such an extent! But then a somber male voice began issuing a tornado warning, that I should take cover in a basement away from any windows or doors to the outside. If I am in a tent or mobile home I should get out and head for a safer building. If I am in a car I should drive to a safe building immediately. If I am outdoors or unable to get to a safe building I should lie in the lowest area and cover my head with my hands/arms. By now I am ready to move into full freak-out mode. Do I continue to the
office to ensure everyone is aware and move people to the basement (believe me it is plenty dark and virtually windowless down there and NO ONE would want to visit it unless under imminent threat)? Do I turn around and make sure my mother has heard the warning (does it go out on other radio stations or is it only a CBC thing) and is “safely” in her basement? Should I pull over and hide face down in the ditch? Call everyone I know to share the news? I am looking all around me and not only do I not see anything resembling a tornado, the sky isn't really that dark, there is little wind and no rain, just some mist/drizzle. But wait . . . the interview simply resumes. Did I dream the whole thing? What should I be doing? And then the sirens and the somber voice return once more. This time, however, the message included the area, and it wasn’t here at all but in central New Brunswick. Okay,
heart rate and breathing can return to normal. Deep breath, proceed to the office. A short time later the sirens are back to say the alert has ended. Whew! That was scarey. Thank goodness it is a rarity in our neck of the woods, but it did have me looking around my home that night to determine where would the safest spot to take cover. "It may be bliss not to know a tornado is coming because you have no need to worry or take action. But while your head is in the sand, your bum is in the air, and the tornado is still coming." ~ David Icke. 0001
