RAVINGS THE FUTURE

There are a number of people who believe that “climate change” is not linked to greenhouse gases and the use of fossil fuels. I say - “No problem”!! But here is the problem with that. Let’s examine what has happened over the past three hundred years or so. I am betting that once you could drink from any running stream or river in the province. Today, well .. sometimes you can’t even drink the municipal water supply. Once, our air was pure and pollution free .. today .. not so much!! Once, we had large old trees that held a diverse and healthy population of plants and animals .. today .. not so much (about 99% of old age trees are gone). Once, our land was brimming with gold, diamonds, asbestos, zinc, potash and fossil fuels .. today ..not so much!! Can anyone detect a problem?? The continuing ruthless and unlimited
extraction of ALL resources, will leave our world naked of resources. How do we expect that future human life will continue in any manner except one of severe poverty?? Do you really believe in treating the future of mankind and womankind like a litterbug. “Just toss it out of the car and it’s someone else's problem?? Do you really believe that we have NO responsibility for the future of the world that we live on?? If you do .. so be it .. very sad. Just don’t give me the excuse that climate change isn’t caused by burning fossil fuels as an excuse to keep on raping our resources. 0002

DEAR EDITOR I left my heart in a Canadian Village in Kings County, somewhere in South Central New Brunswick, in a small town called Sussex Corner. It was a week-long experience that reanimated me to life's beauty and gave me the chance to unravel the abundance that Mother Nature offers. I would like to share bits of the exceptional experiences I had. On a gorgeous Thursday morning, we took a hike to The Bluff. This a famous hike trail that travellers sure don't want to miss. I just couldn't get enough of the breathtaking view right under and above my eye. During the weekend, I was taken to the Grand Lake for recreation, in a trailer. Lush green pine trees bordering the camper. The cool breeze from the lake is gradually drawing me closer to the
water below. This is life, how simple and wonderful. The gorgeous scenic spots of Sussex make locals not want to leave their little piece of heaven on earth. The oneness of it's people and nature gives everyone a sense of contentment. Indeed, my stay in the town opened my eyes to simple joys of life. And somewhere in the corner of Sussex I left a piece of my heart at peace. Maria Inesa Arsenal. 4136

SELF ESTEEM RELEASE YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVITY Ships do not sink because of the water that surrounds them; ships sink when the water gets into them. Likewise, we must not allow negative thoughts, situations and/or people to get inside of us and weigh us down. There is no one on earth that has the capability or power to control everything. The only thing each of us can control is our own attitude and reaction to our daily situations. Have faith in yourself. Faith is not about believing everything will turn out okay, faith is believing you will be okay no matter how things turn out. We see life as being full of negativity. However, it is also full of positivity, if we choose to see it. Unfortunately, it is extremely easy to dwell on the negative. We get down on ourselves. We believe that we don’t deserve to be happy. News flash: You were not put on this earth to live miserably day after day. You were wonderfully created to have fun and enjoy what life has to offer. To live as uniquely and happily as only you can, in
peace. Anything or anyone that costs you your peace is too expensive. Releasing yourself from negative thoughts, situations and people leads you to a new sense of freedom. There is no need to internalize guilt, shame and blame. We all do things we are not proud of. We can not continue wallowing in dirt and expect to get a clean slate. Let it go. Forgive yourself and others. Rid yourself of negative people by spending less and less time with them. People with a negative attitude do nothing but bring us down. Life is too short to spend it with negative-minded people. We need to surround ourselves with people who bring us up, believe in us and encourage us. At one time, you likely were excited about your life. Unfortunately, along the way, you have experienced failures, disappointments and setbacks. You lost your zest for life. It is time to reclaim it! Concentrate on the positive parts of your life. Sunrises, sunsets, family,
friends, road trips, chocolate etc. are just a few items there for your enjoyment. ‘Stop and smell the roses’ as they say. You will be amazed at how great you will feel both mentally and physically. There is only one place you can be at any given moment and that is in the present. Living for this moment (and this moment only) leaves no room to lament about the past or worry about the future. You know yourself better than anyone. You were made unique. There is no one exactly like you with the special gifts you have to offer this world. Celebrate being you. Being positive does not guarantee you will succeed but being negative guarantees you won’t. 0027

FAMILY MATTERS NAVIGATING AROUND SOCIAL CONFLICT Social conflict is real. It exists in the sandbox, on the playground and in school. As parents, when we hear about it we can quickly fall into “helicopter” mode but that might not be the appropriate response. As long as it does not escalate to bullying, conflict is normal and a part of engaging in social life. Everyday our kids have a variety of opportunities for navigating peer and/or sibling dynamics. They will often share their problems with us looking for a parental response. Our role is to support them while allowing them to develop fundamental social and communication skills that can move them from a place of anger or disappointment to empowerment. There are some general things parents can do to assist their children when navigating around disagreements: 1. Listen. Listen deeply to the story of unfairness and hurt by asking “can you tell me more about that?” to help your
child explore the full experience. 2. Be Arms Length Curious. Ask “what and how” questions to hold space for your child to consider all parts of the experience. 3. Invite Other Perspectives. Ask your kiddo to look at the situation through the eyes of everyone. This develops skills for seeing multiple perspectives. 4. Making a Decision. By inviting other perspectives and being curious, parents can help their children to identify and clarify what they want to do. Do they want to compromise? Is it a non-negotiable point of interest? 5. Developing the Language. It pays off to take the time to think about what we want to say to people in times of disagreement. Help your children come up with the words and language to express their feelings and their wants so they are much more empowered to use it. 6. Be Available for Practicing. This could be the most important piece for

your kiddos. Give them the opportunity to practice what they are going to say before any tough conversation. Take turns playing different roles using different options and imagine possible responses. Practice as many times as needed to build confidence. Role playing can offer children a feeling of familiarity and comfort amidst the discomfort of difference. This summer look for opportunities to help your children develop their interpersonal skills and enjoy the parenting journey - even in times of social conflict. 0006

SACF AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS The Sussex Area Community Foundation Scholarships were first offered in 2005 and are open to students who attend Sussex Regional High School, are strong academically, involved in their community and have financial need. These scholarships were originally set at $2500 each, but thanks to a local donor who believes in the value of education for area students, the five scholarships are now valued at $2550 each. The 2016 Sussex Area Community Foundation Scholarships were presented by SACF Director Sheryl Tabor to: Emily Brown, Gabrielle Degooyer, Michaiah Gosman, Elizabeth Gushue and Rhea McKnight at the SRHS Graduation. The Earl J. Cunningham Memorial Scholarship was first awarded in 2009 by the family. This fund is held by the Sussex Area Community Foundation and provides yearly scholarships to Sussex Regional High School graduates with financial need and strong academic performance. This scholarship was provided to Brianna MacInnis and Ryan Delong. The award was presented at SRHS Graduation
by Allyson Raymond and Brenda Sharp, daughters of Earl and Joan Cunningham. This was the first year the Sussex Area Community Foundation provided scholarships from the PotashCorp Fund. The PotashCorp Fund Scholarship was open to 2016 graduates from Sussex Regional High School, Belleisle Regional High School, Sussex Christian School and CambridgeNarrows School. Candidates were chosen for academic achievement, community involvement, financial need and must attend post-secondary schooling within NB. SACF Director, Sheryl Tabor presented the following recipients with the PotashCorp Fund Scholarship: Vanessa Cummings, Sophie Sharp and Delanie Stockford from Sussex Regional High School. At Sussex Christian School Graduation, PotashCorp New Brunswick Site Superintendent Doug Doney presented a PotashCorp Fund Scholarship to Don Yeo.

ASK THE CHEF STRAWBERRY SEASON Colin Sifton here from Holly’s restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. With the discovery about rhubarb coming from so far away in my last article, it made me think about the next popular fruit that we grow around here, which is strawberries. That is right, it is strawberry season in New Brunswick again and it is one of my favourite local produce. We spend the whole year eating gas ripened berries from the States and for a few weeks a year we get the real thing. Strawberries can be found all the way back to the Roman times, but they would have been what we call wild strawberries. In the court of King Henry VIII, we began seeing all kinds of cultivated strawberries which were served with cream. A popular dish still eaten today. Because of the popularity in King Henry VII’s time, more and more strawberry farms started popping up all over England. It wasn’t until the
18th century that France began growing gardens of just strawberries and creating that we think of as strawberries. Strawberries are grown all around the world. They are probably the world's most popular berry. So why is that? It is most likely because they have so many uses. From jams and jellies to pies and tarts. We eat them right off the plant or cut them up and have them with cream like they did in King Henry’s day. So, one way that most people never think about having strawberries is with cracked black pepper. That’s right black pepper. I first discovered this when making some flambeed strawberries at a resort in the Canadian Rockies. I don’t know why it changes the flavour as much as it does but it is a great change to just having strawberries. I am not talking about putting teaspoons of cracked pepper on the strawberries but just a few cranks of the mill. The recipe I use when flambeing
strawberries goes like this: 2 cups sliced strawberries; 1/4 cup butter; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 2 ounces Grand Marnier; Black pepper to taste. In a hot sauce pan, add your butter and sugar. Stir together until sugar has dissolved and the two are well combined. Add your strawberries and stir until they are covered. Add Grand Marnier and hit it with some fire so it ignites. Once the flame burns out, add a few cranks of the pepper mill. Serve over vanilla ice-cream and garnish with a few chopped strawberries for texture. Be careful as melted sugar of any kind is very very hot, but once it hits the ice-cream it will turn to taffy. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

IN THE GARDEN WEEDS & SEEDS All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today. ~ Indian proverb. As are all the weeds! Along with the bounty of beautiful flowers, carefully and deliberately planted, are a multitude of weeds, blooming to beat-the-band and ready to disperse their full yield on our carefully tended gardens. This is the time when weeding assumes a very important place in the daily care of our plots, and we will reap dividends if we first concentrate on the chaps that are in bloom. One single Groundsel plant can produce one million seeds in one season and the early seed that falls can be in bloom and in business by midsummer! Hoeing is certainly a fast method of dealing with weeds, however a great many that are left to wither are actually quite capable of setting up a regular weed farm before they die. The very best method is to dig them up and then bury them in the compost bin, hoeing usually leaves enough root in the ground for the
decapitated weed to send up a mass of new growth, stronger and more determined to survive than before; creating an even more daunting task than was originally present! Many garden centres have sales of plants and bushes, which affords the gardener a great opportunity to spend the housekeeping money on all sorts of lovelies that were too costly in the spring. However, great care needs to be taken in choosing the bargains, if the pot seems very light, chances are the content may be too dry to recover; the offerings are likely to be root bound and all will need some TLC before they can be planted. It is wise to give all of these bargains some time in a container of water, first removing the pot they are in and tweaking the root system loose with a hand fork. Once they have soaked for a day, having prepared a hole twice as wide as the pot they came in, a mix of good earth, compost and a small amount of bone meal should be placed in
the hole so that it occupies the same level in the earth that it enjoyed in the pot, then the cavity around them should be filled with more of that mixture and the plants should be well watered. This is best done in the evening when the heat of the day is past and the watering will not be instantly evaporated by the hot sun. If the heavens are a stingy with their water, as has been the case recently, they will need regular watering! Vegetables that are not forming fruit may be suffering from too much Nitrogen; fertilizing beyond the middle of July is not wise. Blessings. 0045

Ask a Trustee in Bankruptcy Q. If a business goes bankrupt, will its employees get paid?
th
A. Employees of a bankrupt business get paid by the Wage Earner’s Protection Program Act. WEPP is designed to pay employees of an employer that is bankrupt or subject to a receivership for amounts owed to them. WEPP will pay employees for unpaid wages, commissions, vacation pay, pay-in-lieu of notice of termination and severance pay that has been earned during the 6 months prior to a bankruptcy or receivership and which is still unpaid. The maximum payout from WEPP is approximately $3,300 with an additional $1,000 available to cover the unpaid out-ofpocket expenses of travelling sales people. If you have questions or concerns respecting your business’ financial situation, we invite you to contact our office. Our highly experienced staff will be happy to discuss your situation. Matthew J.

1st EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT IN NB In September of 2011, Kingston Peninsula Heritage organized the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the first European settlement in what is New Brunswick today. This fur trading post was located on Akmenhenik (Caton's Island) on the Wolastoq (St. John River). It was startling to realize how few people are aware of this early French foothold.
es The Best Pricale S on Sico - On ! and Off Sale
The settlement was significant, being the location of the first lasting contact between the Wolastoqiyik, the indigenous people whose lands included the complete Wolastoq watershed, and the French of Europe. The arrival of Europeans had a massive impact on the Wolastoqiyik, which has been felt through all the generations since. This island, Akmenhenik, truly New Brunswick’s lodestone, is not only the meeting place of the provinces two founding cultures, but it also points a bearing to a future we would all value. As it turns out, the first leader of the trading post was rebellious, walking a fine line between troubles with the French authorities of La Cadie and the Grand Council of the Wolastoqiyik. This novel, set during the period of first contact, portrays life for both the Wolastoqiyik and the French fur traders, and the result of their meeting on two individuals and their communities. To order books please contact Eric at: reacher@nbnet.nb.ca. Proceeds of the books sold here are going to Kingston Peninsula Heritage. 4144

REPORTING ABUSE OF CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE ADULTS Did you know that all adults are required to report abuse of children under the age of 19? If a person recognizes a child is being abused
or neglected and does not report the abuse, they are allowing it to continue. When children witness their mother or caregiver being abused, it is also considered abuse to the child, and should be reported as child abuse. Vulnerable persons are those who are unable to protect themselves because of physical or mental disability. This
includes elder abuse, which is the abuse of a person over 65 years of age. Abuse IS your business. If you decide to report, do not notify the caregiver before reporting. You do not have to have proof of abuse; authorities will investigate. If you suspect any child or adult is in immediate danger, call 911. To report suspected abuse of a child or a vulnerable person, call 1-866441-4340 (after hours call 1-800- 4429799). To report suspected abuse of an adult who is not a vulnerable person, call the police. If you want to talk, the Domestic Violence Outreach Coordinator can be reached at 433-6579. 0047

LOCAL ‘GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE WALKS’ UPDATE
Over the last few weekends across New Brunswick groups of dedicated volunteers have been coming together to organize and implement Give the Gift of Life Walks in support of the Kidney Foundation of Canada - Atlantic Branch. The Give the Gift of Life Walks are one of the Kidney Foundation of Canada – Atlantic Branch’s largest and most energetic fundraising events, these pledge based events have connected many local New Brunswickers with the common goal of walking together in the fight against kidney disease. There have been four walks in Fredericton, St. George, Saint John, and Sussex. On Saturday June 4, Saint John held their walk in King’s square. We would like to thank our Honorary Chair Jacob Thompson for the heartfelt speech he delivered at the walk and for raising $1328.75. Our top fundraiser was Patti King; Patti raised a total of $1935. Thank you to everyone who collected pledges and took part in the walk, together you raised a total of $4900 for research, programs, and patient services for the Atlantic Region. On Sunday June 5, Sussex held their walk through the streets of the small town. Altogether the Sussex walk raised a total of $3975. We would like to thank the Bayview Credit Union Team as well as the Sobeys team for their hard work fundraising. We would also like to thank Mrs. Dunster’s, Greco, and Pizza Delight for their contributions to the post walk BBQ.

MUSINGS NATURE ON THE BRAIN There have been lots of mainstream media reports on the positive effects of spending time outdoors in the natural world. From treating mild depression and anxiety to improving memory, spending time in the great outdoors is of great benefit. I was surprised to learn, though, that physical health is equally affected. I recently read “Your Brain on Nature”, co-authored by a medical doctor and a naturopathic doctor. They cite study after after study, but the one I was most surprised by was patients in hospital after surgery had shorter stays, required less pain meds and had fewer notations in their charts of being difficult patients if their hospital room had a window facing trees and gardens rather than more buildings and parking lots. Just being able to see the natural world from the window had that much influence. Mike and I spend a lot of time in our woodlot, although he has more opportunity than I. Still, at this time of
year with the long evenings I get out for an hour in the forest most days. This evening we saw a robin’s nest along the woodroad and three deer who watched us quietly for some time before bounding off. A few days ago there was a mama partridge (ruffed grouse) and several of her offspring who took off as we walked past. And it isn’t even necessary to go the woods to see the critters. Most school mornings I walk out to the bus with my grand-daughter and last month as I was returning to the house I saw something tearing up the driveway ahead of me. I thought at first it was my daughter’s dog that had gotten loose, but no. It was a rather large racoon that I was seeing straight on to his butt as he headed out of sight. He ran a lot like my rather large black and white cat, Jack! Here in New Brunswick we are blessed with an abundance of nature. If it can make us healthier and wiser, how come we haven’t yet figured out how to use
it sustainably instead of destroying it? Perhaps instead of thinking of ourselves a “have-not” province, it is time for a shift in perspective and recognize what we have. “It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson “But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.” ~ Alan Watts 0001
