“So, what have you been up to Mikie??” Well, as usual, I like working on big projects, so I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how I could regenerate our provincial economy and by golly I think that I have a solution!! For a month now, I have been working on building a new smaller bridge across the brook that passes through the woodlot. Almost two years ago we had a large steel bridge installed that could handle a commercial harvest with heavy vehicles. This one is about a half-kilometre further downstream and will be just big enough to handle my personal tractors. In order to save money, I decided that the abutments could be done with rock and then use wood right off of the property to span the brook. So... by the bucket load, I started to collect rocks, big ones and small ones. I soon found that I had a limited opportunity for using the really big ones, especially during the early stages of construction. What I really wanted were “old man” sized flat rocks for building a nice smooth exterior wall along the stream. Never at a loss for an idea (often dumb), I grabbed an eight-pound maul, a concrete chisel and a tiny two-pound mini-maul. Since we have an abundance of fine sedimentary rock, I found that if Mother Nature hadn’t already created tiny fractures, that a couple of good swings of the maul (and only a couple) could often create manufactured fractures. A bit of chisel work into the
cracks and often within a few minutes I have flat “old man” sized rocks. I have noticed the NB government is often spending $15,000 per job created. My cost is $50 (maul, mini-maul and chisel). Score per $15,000: NB = 1 job, Mikie = 300 jobs. These jobs are well suited for our aging population (Mikie), long term, politicians and business leaders can proudly call the jobs sustainable (especially those dumb enough to refer to fracking and mining as sustainable), reduction of health care costs with all us old folks out beating on rocks, stress reduction and better mental heath (beating rocks instead of people)!! Now, every manufacturer needs customers. So I was thinking we could just lie and sell our rocks as pieces of our world famous Hopewell Rocks. Or we could of course sell them as “Pet Rocks” (what a scam that was)!! But, I am betting that China has just a ton of small streams that are just crying out for abutments and would be glad to get Made in Canada emblems on their rocks!! 0002

Hello there, my name is Winnie I’m a two year old friendly, but shy, gray tabby who loves attention. My tail curls flat over my back when I’m happy. Unfortunately, I’ve not been very happy these past few days. A few mornings ago the kind people at the Sanctuary found me in the barn ‘Cat Room’, my mouth bleeding and in no position to explain what had happened to me. When they saw my chin and heard me cry out as they petted my head, they realized I was in distress. They immediately made an appointment for me to see the Vet. A physical exam and X-ray quickly revealed that my bottom jaw had been broken right down the middle. The Vet gave me some pain killers and immediately scheduled an emergency operation. The Sanctuary has a small ‘emergencies’ budget, but it seems it will be upwards of $1,000.00 short of the costs for my surgery and follow-up treatments. As of now, these will likely include the physical exam, sedation to take the X-ray(s), hospitalization, surgery, ‘wiring’ my jaw, dosing me with pain killers, antibiotics, IV fluids until I can comfortably open my mouth and swallow. I know the Sanctuary would appreciate any donations, however small, cat-loving folks might like to make to help offset the costs of my treatment and care. My vet wasn’t sure of the recuperation time, but with loving and attentive care I’ll be back to my ‘old’ self hopefully within 6 weeks. A bed has been reserved for me when I come ‘home’ to recuperate. As you can see by the photograph taken just before my emergency surgery, I may look annoyed, but trust me, I was ready to put up with almost anything at that moment. Thank you in advance to everyone who is able to help. Donations (for which a tax receipt will be issued for amounts $10.00 and up) can be made via our web-site at www.pawssussex.ca or by mail at Paws and Whiskers Sanctuary Inc., P.O. Box 4816, Sussex, NB E4E 5L1.

ASK THE CHEF RHUBARB Colin Sifton here again, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering, with another answer to your question. This week I had a visit from a lady selling rhubarb. It is that time of year again, when we see many products coming to the market and rhubarb is one of them. Made me think that I eat and use rhubarb but I don’t know a lot about it. Rhubarb can be traced back to China over 2,700 years ago. It was harvested not for food but for medication and was brought west by traders to Europe, making it to North America in 1820. Starting in Maine and Massachusetts, this plant moved with the settlers north, west and south. This was a bit of a surprise to me because all the rhubarb I knew grew in the backyard, wild. I often thought that it was just part of the landscape that we discovered as settlers, but now know that it came from far away over thousands of years.
Now rhubarb, we consider a fruit, because the most common use is in jams, tarts, crumbles and pies. It is not a fruit but a plant with a highly poisoned leaf with the stock being edible. The stock is similar to celery and comes in different colours, the most common colour is green with red. Some believe the more red, the sweeter or less tart. I believe it is sunlight and the age of the plant determines colour, not sweetness. Since rhubarb is tart, it is always cooked with sugar. It also combines well with other fruits and berries to offset the tartness. In this area of the world, it is one of the first harvestable plants; coming out at the same time or just after fiddleheads and grows along river beds and damp areas, just like fiddleheads. I would not suggest combining the two, but many feasts have seen both on the menu. Not to many things are free anymore
but this is one of those things that grows in our backyards. I bet there are many of you who have seen this plant growing but never did anything with it. It is easy to harvest and easy to prepare. Just remove to large leaf, cut the stocks in one inch pieces and cook with sugar or sweetener of your choice. It is great on ice-cream and oatmeal. It can be served with pork and even fish. It is a gift that doesn’t get used as much as it should and it has travelled a very long way over a long period for us to enjoy. 0040

STEEVES250 FESTIVAL Move over Kitchener, move over Lunenburg … this July, Moncton celebrates its own German legacy with the Steeves250 Festival. There are an estimated 300,000 Steeves globally who can be traced back a mere 250 years to one couple - Heinrich and Regina Stief. The Stiefs came to North America in 1749. Originally from Munsingen in southwestern Germany, the family lived in Philadelphia before a land grant deal was arranged through a consortium that included the American icon Benjamin Franklin. Stief and other families such as Treitz, Sommer, Lutz and Wortman departed from the American colonies to the new grants on the Petitcodiac in 1766, a few years before the initial influx of Loyalists from Maine to New Brunswick. In fact, there is no evidence to suggest Stief was motivated by the Loyalist cause. "The aspirations of these original German settlers were more closely aligned with Acadians and other European emigrants who simply wanted to prosper on lands free of external political interference", says Dr. Philip Steeves, author of Heinrich and Regina: The Story of the First Steeves. It's in this spirit that, despite linguistic barriers, the settlers cooperated to secure a future for their offspring. Heinrich and Regina had seven surviving sons - Jacob, John, Christian, Frederick, Henry, Lewis and Matthias - who in turn had large families. They contributed along with Acadians to add a further economic and cultural dimension to this corner of British North America.
This July the Steeves Family is hosting a festival that will be second to none. Cousins and friends are coming from far and wide. “To date Festival Passes have been purchased by delegates from 21 different US States, eight different Provinces and three different international countries. What an amazing and unique opportunity for New Brunswick and local tourism as we attract such diversity to the area.” says PR Chair Kerry Rakuson. Come one, come all to this recordbreaking celebration of the original Steeves - Stief family in MonctonHillsborough in July. Visit: Steeves250. ca for more information. 4096

Ask a Trustee in Bankruptcy Q. If I file for bankruptcy who will know?
Your bankruptcy will not be publicized unless it is one where there are significant assets. A bankruptcy proceeding is a matter of public record, which means that it is not a “secret” and anyone who needs to know is entitled to be advised. The notices of bankruptcy that you occasionally see in the newspaper are either corporate or large personal bankruptcies, which are not common. In order for you to file for bankruptcy, the Trustee must send your bankruptcy papers to the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, which is a division of Industry Canada and part of the federal government. Shortly after you file for bankruptcy, the Trustee will notify your creditors. The Credit Bureaus and Canada Revenue Agency are also notified. Other than that no one else is notified, normally. Your family and friends are not involved and should not become aware of your bankruptcy unless you Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP choose to tell Vice- President, Licensed Insolvency Trustee them yourself.

We miss you so much.

WHAT IS CONSENT? Engaging in a sexual act without consent is sexual assault. Both people in a sexual encounter must agree to it, and anyone may decide at any time that they no longer consent. Consenting to one behavior on one occasion does not obligate you to consent to any others. Consent is defined by the answers to two questions: 1. Do they want to give consent? 2. Are they capable of giving consent? The easiest way to determine if a person wants to give consent is simply to ask. Even though talking beforehand does not mean that both people will consent later, it makes it more likely that they will understand each other's values and feelings. If your partner seems to become hesitant or uncomfortable, you should stop and talk about it. If your partner ever says no during sex or asks you to stop, you must stop immediately. Certain circumstances make it impossible for a person to legally give consent. Even if someone seems eager to engage in sexual behavior, doing so can be considered sexual assault if they are intoxicated, unconscious, or underage. A person may not be able to legally give consent to someone who has authority over them, such as a teacher, therapist, or babysitter. If you’re concerned about a sexual encounter that happened without your consent, know that it is not your fault if someone did not respect your right to say no.

IN THE GARDEN LITTLE EFFORT… BOUNTY OF BEAUTY He who plants a garden plants happiness.... Chinese proverb. Wandering through my garden, smelling fragrant Roses and Iris, anticipating the joys to come, I am sure the Chinese writer was right on target! So much beauty for so little effort is not so much a right as a huge blessing. To maintain this state of well being just a few delightful tasks need to be performed, namely deadheading. I love this time of year when the abundance of blooms requires a couple of hours just to remove spent blooms; two hours when I honestly give thanks for the bounty of beauty that has been my privilege to care for and enjoy! Deadheading is, I think, even more important than weeding; by removing spent blossoms the plant will go into overtime to produce more flowers, initial blooms on the Iris will tend to rot emerging blooms, especially under moist conditions and if they are gently snapped off, the’ bud in waiting’ will bloom magnificently. Many Roses will reward
one with continuous bloom if this simple task is done daily and those that are not of the re-blooming persuasion can be left to produce Rose hips, excellent for jelly making and fending away colds in winter; one tablespoon in hot water will do the trick! There are many Roses on the market that are absolutely hardy for our Zone, however, some will ramble vigorously all over the place, great for banks, but if your space is limited it is best to stick to the types that don’t put out runners; one of the hardiest and most beautiful is the Therese Bugnet, it has red stems, glorious deep pink blossoms and blooms from June until after frost, check with your garden centre before purchasing… digging up a rambler that has had its way with you is no fun!! I am aware that committed sun worshippers won’t want to read this, but we need a lot more rain and until the heavens provide it a more cautious attitude toward mowing is required; I
find it quite amusing, that most folk really hate to be told what to do, and yet when it comes to ‘lawns’, buy into the ‘grass gurus’ and spend untold hours trying for a single blade 3” carpet of vegetation, smooth as a billiard table and just about as exciting! My patch of green cover is a delightful mix of violets, wild strawberries, clover, forget me not and the like, from a distance it looks like lawn and I love it! Until the dry ground is well watered it is wise to raise the deck on the mower, the extra length of the grass will provide much needed shade for the roots and hopefully prevent the brown scorching that so often mars the perfection of the ‘ ideal lawn’. Enjoy the bounty. Blessings. 0045 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb
The HST is increasing on July 1
THANK YOU TEAMS, SURVIVORS, SPONSORS, DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS!
We want to share some information with regard to the upcoming HST increase. On July 1, 2016 the HST rate will increase from 13% to 15% in New Brunswick and the taxes payable on funerals will rise with it. While we are not yet aware of the government’s transitional rules for the tax increase we are anticipating that, as with past increases, funeral services preplanned and prefunded between now and July 1, 2016 will not be subject to the higher rate of tax, regardless of when they are carried out. As we are strong advocates for preplanned funerals we have decided to extend a special offer. For those who arrange a preplanned, prefunded funeral with us, and finalize a qualified funding plan, between now and June 30, 2016, we will guarantee protection against the tax increase even if the government doesn’t provide that protection. So, if you’re thinking about preplanning funeral services and want to learn more about its many benefits including how you might avoid a tax increase, please give us a call.
Together, the community of Sussex raised over $ 44,000 for the fight against cancer. See you in 2017! June 28th - July 11th, 2016

WELL RESTED KIDS TOO TIRED TO MOVE??
You may remember Hal and Joanne from the old ParticipACTION ads. They were an active pair who encouraged us to “keep fit and have fun!” Hal and Joanne may have reached retirement age, but they are still as active as ever and so is the Canadian Program ParticipACTION. This not for profit organization has just released its “2016 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth.” Due to emerging research, the Report card also includes the world’s very first “24 hour Movement Guidelines” for kids, including sleep recommendations. ParticipACTION asked the question, “Are Canadian Kids too Tired to Move?” And the answer seems to be yes. Research shows that less than 10% of kids get the recommended 60 minutes of vigorous activity a day. 75% of kids get more than two hours of “screen time,” meaning TV, IPAD/tablet, smartphone, or video games. Kids average sleep time has decreased by 30-60 minutes over several decades. Being sedentary delays kids bedtimes, and the average kid spends 8.5 hours in this low energy state! A third of kids as young as five are reporting trouble falling or staying asleep and just
as many teens report trouble staying awake during the day. The fallout from too little or poor quality sleep is extreme when it comes to kids. You may see hyperactivity, impulsiveness and a short attention span. In fact ADHD and sleep deprivation look exactly the same during the day when it comes to kids. These kids have trouble with verbal creativity and lower IQ scores. Short sleeps can cause hormone changes that are associated with diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. Poor sleep over time can lead to depression as well. So it seems as if our kids are too tired to be active during the day, but too sedentary to be sleepy enough to get decent night’s rest. This is certainly a vicious cycle! So what is the solution to this widespread problem? ParticipACTION has just released the “24 hour Movement Guidelines” for kids and youth 5-17 years of age. There are four categories, the “4 S’s”: Sweat-moderate to vigorous activity for at least 60 minutes a day to get the heart rate up; Step-several hours of light activity and movement; Sleep - 9-11 hours for 5-13 year olds, and 8-10 hours for 14-17 year olds of uninterrupted sleep
with consistent sleep and wake times; Sit - no more than two hours of recreational screen time and limit the amount of time sitting for extended periods. By going outside more and turning off the screens, kids can get closer to these targets. The key idea is that lots of physical activity makes for a longer and better quality sleep which in turn makes for a more rested kid ready to sweat and step their way to all around good health. Be sure to look up the highlights of the report card, or read the full report at: participACTION.com/reportcard. 0038

Cruise Night presentation to Red Cross
There was a National Fiddling Day Celebration held at the Apohaqui Recreation Centre on May 21 with fiddlers from Saint John, Fredericton, Moncton, and areas in between and beyond. All invited fiddle leaders were there - Alison Inch, Winston Crawford, Ivan Hicks, Clayton McGee, Willie Owens, Krista Connell and Norman Breau - and they all lead with some great music. There were over 60 fiddlers in attendance playing along and they ranged in age from eight to 90. There were many keyboard players and Joyce Ross, a player herself, looked after having them take turns on the keyboards - Brad Trecartin, Vivian Hicks, Vestra Goddard, and Irma MacDonald. The bass player was Steve Norman and on rhythm guitar was Daryl Belding Sr., MC for the evening was Wilson Gilmore. The hall was full of people enjoying the great Maritime fiddle music. The local Apohaqui Recreation group ran a canteen and were very helpful. Canadian Fiddlers are known around the world for their expressive music.

Sussex Downtown Cruise Night Crew members, Ann Paterson and Suzanne M Morrison, recently presented a donation at the Red Cross office in Sussex. The money, $331, was collected at Cruise Night on May 19 from a 50/50 draw and donation box. The donation will go to help the fire victims in Fort McMurray. 4101
On March 31, 2015 the Government of Canada gave royal assent to the National Fiddling Day Act and the third Saturday of May was declared National Fiddling Day in Canada. There were many different fiddle gatherings held in New Brunswick and across Canada on Saturday, May 21, 2016 and we are proud to say the one in Apohaqui has been deemed one for all to remember with pride. There was a freewill offering for admission at the door to cover expenses and the excess of $680 was donated to the Red Cross for the Fort McMurray Fund. Thanks to all who came and participated to make this such a success. 4104

SUSSEX CHAMBER NEWS For three amazing and very productive nights earlier this month over 140 business leaders, interested individuals from our community and Chamber of Commerce Directors came together to take the Strategic Plan to the next level. Our many strengths had been identified in our earlier meeting. Last week the focus was on “what does the preferred future, for our various business sectors, look like” and “what are some realistic and achievable steps that we can take to move us towards that future”. Just being in the room with all of those optimistic and enthusiastic individuals was energizing. However, what was even more encouraging was the multitude of practical ideas and steps that were proposed which will advance the economy of our area. We were fortunate to have the input of a wide variety of highly skilled and experienced individuals in our area! I believe their ideas helped develop a more effective Strategic Plan and will have a very definite and positive
impact on our economy. Thank you to everyone who participated. What is the next step? All the information from the meetings will be collated and passed on to the new Economic Development Officer and the team that will be working with him. Also, the Chamber will continue to play an active role to ensure that the Strategic Plan is acted upon. Stay tuned for further developments. It was highlighted again through these meetings that one of our many strengths is our skilled business leaders. There were great success stories shared during the nights. Did you know that six manufacturing companies (not associated with the mine) have added 150 jobs in the last five years. And that is only one segment of one sector. Be encouraged! Businesses are alive and well in Sussex! We need to celebrate our good stories and promote our area that is full of opportunities. 4140
the summer months and will be back again in September. We had a great luncheon at the Sussex Legion and I would like to thank them for the lunch and service. We had our draw of the tickets that we sold: first draw was for a print of a duck, donated by Esther O'Neil and won by Denise Murphy from Norton; second draw was for an arm knitted scarf, donated by Elizabeth Doucette and won by Elizabeth Hebert of Saint Martins; the third draw was for a dolly, made by Louise Secord and won by Carrie Kelly of Sussex. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets, we made over $2,000 dollars for Parkinson’s research. 4141

MUSINGS WE’RE ON IT... As I write this we are getting regular updates from Canada Post that there may be a postal strike in early July. Since our 40,000 plus magazines are delivered by Canada Post, this is a wee bit of a problem! However, if it does happen it won’t be our first postal disruption so we are prepared for the possibility of another. You will have seen our half page ad earlier in this magazine alerting you to some locations where you will be able to pick up a copy of your community magazine should there be a strike or lockout at Canada Post. We will be updating this list on our Facebook page as new locations are identified. And of course, you can always read all of our
community magazines online at our website, current and past issues. I am not going to come down on one side or the other when it comes to unions and labour disputes. I have been both union member/union executive and small business owner so can understand both sides of the equation. Yes, as a small business owner it does create some headaches, but I am confident we will weather it in spite of some inconvenience. I am constantly impressed at the loyalty and support we receive from our readers and advertisers and the 2011 postal distribution underlined that for me. What an amazing bunch of people we deal with
on a daily basis. That is certainly one of the big pluses of this business. As Michael Jordan once said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” We are well on the way to our workaround if it is needed. 0001
