Just an update on how “Restoring the Acadian Forest” is going. Just to be clear, this is not trying to get the woodlot to look exactly like it was 400 years ago. Since the first problem would be... I don’t have a clue what it looked like 400 years ago. I have asked the missus, but unfortunately her memory is showing a lot of 400 year old wear and tear. And secondly, there is no sound reason to believe that the woodlot would not have evolved to something at least slightly different over that time period even without human intervention. So... lots of fir are getting cut down, mostly in areas where they are competing with other more desirable trees such as white pine, yellow birch, oak, cedar, white ash and red spruce. We have found one mature sugar maple and one seedling and the hunt continues to find and protect more. And we are still searching for any signs of a mature beech or hemlock tree, which we would expect to find on the property but haven’t. Road work is stopped for the winter other than maybe hauling some more gravel to fix up some wet spots, But, I am hoping to do at least some more cutting throughout the winter if the weather cooperates. Driving around a few weeks ago I spied a couple of spots not too far from home with ugly, ugly clearcuts and I wondered if those of you who may own woodlots understand that there may be sound alternatives. Several studies have shown that you can do several partial cuts over

40 to 50 years, haul out more wood than by clearcutting, and still have a woodlot full of trees. One research project suggested that it takes 110 years for the forest to recover from a clearcut, and 220 years for your neighbours to forgive you for what you have done. Instead of letting the big forestry companies or other private operators, who may be out to empty your woodlot and fill their pockets, I would strongly suggest that you call the Southern New Brunswick Wood Co-op at 433-9860/1888-762-1555. It costs a whole $5 to join and a great woodlot management plan costs only $200 or so with subsidies and around a $1,000 if the well is dry. You get to decide what your vision for the woodlot is and the plan will show you what you have now and recommend how to get there. They will even manage commercial harvests on your behalf in many cases. Having met a number of the staff, they are great people to deal and work with and your neighbours will love you, and so will the environment. Save a forest clearcut big nasty forestry companies!!!!!!!!!!!! 0001

THE 72% Seventy two per cent of Canadians living with Alzheimers are woman. They could be your mother, your sister, your grandmother or yourself. Woman also account for seventy per cent of family caregivers for people living with Alzheimers. The risk of dementia doubles every five years after age 65 and the disease can lie dormant for up to 25 years in the brain before symptoms appear. Women’s increased lifespans put them at a greater risk for Alzheimers and dementia. Right now there are 14,000 New Brunswickers living with some form
of dementia, in 20 years this number will be almost double. The Alzheimers society invites all New Brunswickers to visit: alzheimernb.ca to learn about the warning signs of Alzheimers & Dementia which can often go misunderstood or ignored. While there is no cure for Alzheimers, early diagnosis allows for proper treatment and support to let people live as well as possible and start planning for their future needs. Don’t hestitate access the resources available on: alzheimernb.ca to discover what you need to know about Alzheimers & dementia. 3311

POINT OF VIEW by diane McMillan SLIPPERY SLOPES Just when I thought I'd heard (or read) it all, I stumbled upon this headline the other night. “Tobogganing bans: Is the beloved winter pastime too dangerous for your kids?” The story stated that several Canadian and U.S. cities have begun imposing bans on tobogganing, because they fear it's simply too dangerous and are worried about lawsuits if someone becomes badly injured on their property. To a point, I get it. Tobogganing can be dangerous. You're essentially sliding down a hill on a piece of plastic, wood or rubber with a limited ability to steer or stop. When I was growing up, sliding parties were a regular winter activity and guaranteed fun for everyone. It wasn't uncommon to walk away with some bumps and bruises, but the laughter and fun we shared far outweighed the risks.
According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, there aren't nearly as many injuries from tobogganing as there are from other popular winter activities like skiing, snowboarding, skating or snowmobiling. Why, then, is tobogganing the one activity to be considered too dangerous? While I understand the need to be safety conscious, it seems that we're over protecting our kids to the point where common sense isn't required. This generation, more than any other, has become obsessed with shielding our children from any and all adversity. It's a natural instinct to want to protect your child – I do it, and I get it. However, what happens when that child grows up? Are they equipped to function in the real world? Are they too scared to challenge themselves for fear that they could get hurt? The fact is, there is danger all around us. Every time we get behind the wheel, cross the street or board a bus, there are things that could harm us. We'd all
love to put our kids in a bubble and shield them from all the bad – forever! The reality is, we can't and sometimes kids just need to be kids. Instead of protecting them from something that could happen, give them the tools to cope when it does. Fewer and fewer kids actually go outside and play these days. Don't give them another excuse to stay inside with their video games and smart phones. Equip them with a helmet, some common sense and an appreciation for one of winter's best (and inexpensive) outdoor activities. Happy New Year! I hope 2015 is a happy, healthy and safe one for you. 0033

The
of our
Community If
you drive across Canada, and I have, you quickly find that this small town looks a lot like the last small town, and that one very closely resembled the one before it. There are people bustling around, the locals are coming and going, in a matter of minutes you’ve traversed Main Street and you’re back into the woods, or the fields, or a winding road that follows the seashore. That all changes when you stop your car and visit a small town. Once you get out of your car you begin to see that each community is wonderfully unique and full of charm. These quaint little towns aren’t special because of their big box stores and vast acreages of pave parking lots. It’s the small shops that dot Main Street and trail off into the side streets, each one filled with someone’s passion that they wanted to share with their community. Whether it be an outdoor shop run by an avid hiker, an antique shop, or a hardware store, each one was started by someone who likely grew up in the community and chose to stay and to their bit to make their town a better place. Many small business owners sit on our boards and committees, they donate their time and money to local nonprofits and charities. In today’s global economy we tend to think of businesses as businesses and neighbours as neighbours, but in small towns and villages the lines become blurred, and sometimes it takes someone from away to see how unique each town is and how much the charm and atmosphere of towns all across Canada are enhanced by the people who choose to stay and share their passion with those around them. Leave the big stores to the big cities and treasure the wonder of having a main street with all of its nooks and crannies filled up with people who love and support their community. And the next time you pass through a town, get out and walk around a bit. You’ll be glad for the experience. ~ Caleb Burns

FAMILY MATTERS THIS YEAR RESOLVE TO ‘PLAY’ MORE (alone, group, passive, assertive), play skills, preferred play environment (inside, outside), preferred play activities (toys or with other children) and, reasons for play. To help us determine whether we are promoting PLAY we can use this easy abbreviation. P indicates that PARTICIPATION in activities should be fun. L means that all LEARNING opportunities should incorporate play and enjoyment as well as LIMIT the use of electronics. A is for ACTION ORIENTED activities that make for more memorable play and learning. Y is for choosing play activities that YOU and the children can do together to enjoy. For all the reasons mentioned above, play should be a part of a child’s day, every day. Play permits children to practice skills, learn and be creative. When activities are presented as playful and fun, children will be motivated to continue to explore and rehearse skills. After all, we all know how difficult it can be to work or gain a new skill when it isn’t presented in a fun or enjoyable manner. Incorporate play each day and have a fun filled New Year. 0006 Anita Hofmann Family Occupational Therapist

Play is the most common occupation of children. Play is important to their development and wellbeing and for that reason, we as parents should be actively involved in the play of our kids. When playing at home, children and their parents have the freedom to be creative without the unnecessary constraints of reality. When given plenty of opportunity to play at home, school and at organized activities and sports, children can: learn body awareness and self-control; develop social interactions; improve their school performance; develop fine and gross motor skills; improve visual motor processing; increase creativity, concentration and problem solving; increase overall fitness levels; develop language skills; and improve selfconfidence. There are numerous benefits to play for parents too. When parents promote play with their children they help them to develop critical skills necessary for life. Playing with their children reminds parents of the importance of having fun as a family and the magical never-ending energy of children. Play also allows us to troubleshoot for childhood struggles because for some children appropriate and useful play can be difficult, despite the fact that we think that children should be naturals at it. Playing with their children gives parents plenty of opportunity to evaluate their children’s: play approach

HUMAN RIGHTS FORUM GUESTS December 10th each year is International Human Rights Day. The Hampton John Peters Humphrey Foundation holds an Annual Human Rights Forum in keeping with its mission 'to educate people about human rights'. This year on December 10th the foundation hosted Richard Blaquiere from Woodstock as its guest speaker. Richard is a retired educator and during his teaching years also taught courses in Human Rights Education at St. Thomas University and the University of Maine. It was during his second year of teaching that he and a colleague organized a student trip to Germany the focus being the Holocaust with a day at Dachau. Coincidentally back home, Malcolm Ross was promoting his newly published book "Web of Deceit", which denied the Holocaust. It was out of those two opposing happenings that he became a committed advocate for Human Rights and Holocaust Education and he has been recognized and honoured many times over for his continuing work on human rights issues. More recently he was Project Coordinator for the building of The Sgt. Mark Gallagher Memorial Vocational School, just unveiled in Haiti. Mark Gallagher was the RCMP officer killed in a devastating earthquake five years ago while on an educational mission there. Richard's topic focused on international development in Haiti.
Sister Angelina Martz, a Sister of Charity for over 70 years, was awarded the foundation's Human Rights Award during the Forum. Sister Angie's activism grew firmly and deeply, over a period of time. Born just before the Depression years in rural Alberta, and seeing out-of-work men coming to her family farm looking for food and shelter during that time had a profound effect on her. Her parent's compassionate response to that need instilled within her a lifelong regard for vulnerable people. She became a teacher. And it was during her years as an educator in Quebec, Moncton and Saint John, and especially Saint John, that she began to be conscious of the full extent of the demoralizing effect poverty inflicts upon a person and a family. She also learned that the way out of poverty is not through a hand out, but rather a hand up. Sister Angie's activism reaches beyond Canada's borders through the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace which led her to help form the Refugee Support Coalition in Saint John in support of refugees from Guatemala and El Salvador who were escaping human rights violations in those countries. The forum was held at Hampton Middle School and approximately 75 people attended. 3303

ASK THE CHEF by colin Sifton CHEESECAKE: ORIGINS & HISTORY Welcome to a new year of Ask the Chef. I would like to thank all of you who have enjoyed my little stories about food and its origins. I hope I can continue surprising you again this year. In saying that I thought I would start the year off with a topic that really surprised me and hopefully will surprise you too. Today I am talking about cheesecake. A treat we all enjoy, there are so many varieties of it, but we still just call it cheesecake. What is cheesecake and where did it come from? How old is cheesecake and who were the first to make it? Most people believe cheesecake was invented in New York. Probably because one style of cheesecake is called New York cheesecake. But this is not the case. Are you ready for this? Cheesecake can be dated back to 2000 BC That’s right! Cheesecake is over 4000 years old. It was the Greeks who are credited with the invention of
cheesecake. The oldest known recipe was very basic but still a cake. It read like “pound cheese until soft - add honey and spring wheat flour - heat until one mass cool and serve.” this was the translation. No units of measurement because there were no units of measurement. The Romans conquered Greece and the cheesecake was one of the spoils of war. They took the recipe and modified it by adding eggs and cooking it under hot rocks. Because of the Roman empire stretched all across Europe, cheesecake went with them and this is how it made its way into France, England, Germany and therefore the rest of the world. Cheesecake as we know it today is most often made with cream cheese. This was started when the recipes came to the new world and farmers were trying to duplicate the cheese making processes of Europe and instead made what we now know of as cream cheese. This allowed making cheesecake faster and more consistent, in the 1800’s you could not find a restaurant without cheesecake on the menu and this is

why they are credited with creating a form of cheesecake known as the New York cheesecake. Creamy baked cheesecake with no additional flavours but topped with a choice of chocolate, strawberries or other topping. Other parts of America made small variations to the recipe so they did not have to give credit to New York. In Chicago pastry chefs started adding sour cream to the recipe and that is what makes Chicago style cheesecake. In St. Louis, they enjoy a gooey butter cake, which has an additional layer of cake topping on the cheesecake filling. Even today, all over the world we make cheesecake differently. It a l i a n s use ricotta, German prefer a cottage cheese and the Greeks use a feta or mizithra cheese. In the end they all call it cheesecake. 0040

More than 400 angels were placed on the Sussex Hospice Angels Christmas tree at the Gateway Mall in memory of loved ones during the Annual Angels Remembered fundraising campaign over the holiday season. The 2014 campaign raised over $3,000 for Hospice Sussex. All proceeds will be used to help Hospice fund its many support programs and services for people and families touched by endof-life issues. Hospice gave assistance to several people and their families this past year in the Sussex area, providing emotional, social, practical, spiritual and grief support, as well as information and education. Every angel represents a very special memory for our loved ones. “Hospice Sussex is grateful to our community for their generosity and to all the volunteers who gave of their time to man the Angels table,” stated Peggy McCrea, Executive Director. “Their support made Angels Remembered a success. Because you care, we will care for others when they need it most.” 3316

TOUCH YOUR TOES? I have recently had the need for physiotherapy because of an odd knot in my back that refused to go away. This is the second time in a couple of years that I have had a similar issue, the previous one being a “frozen shoulder”. So, being the curious person that I am (Michael would no doubt say snoopy), I like to understand the how comes and why fors. I have learned that my muscles are very tight, in other words I am not very flexible, which can certainly be a significant factor in such issues. Well dang! I can well remember as a child my father demonstrating his ability to scratch his ear with his foot. Since Dad was 40 when I was born, he was closing in my current age when he was still able to perform this trick. And no it wasn’t when he was “lubricated” with alcohol and would be unable to move the next morning after pulling half a dozen muscles! If flexibility is in the genes obviously I did not inherit them from my father. We all start our lives totally flexible. We have to be to spend 9 months curled into very limited space! If you watch kids play, they remain very flexible. So what happens to us as we age? Pretty simple, most of us stop moving. We spend our days at a desk, we drove to the office to get to that desk, and we drive home and sit all evening before going to bed. Michael tells me spending a few hours every week stacking wood is the perfect solution. I hate to say it but I suspect he is largely correct that modifying my activity to replace some of my daily walking with activities involving bending and stretching would be beneficial. After all, my father never had a back problem in his 80 plus years of living, but of course he was much more physically active than I. I don’t plan to attempt scratching my ear with my foot anytime soon, but it seems apparent that I do need to modify my activities to ensure my remaining years are not mobility impaired. “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” – Jim Rohn. 0002
