RaVINGS SPRING A couple of weeks ago, we attended the Farm Show in Moncton. I am not sure what interest the missus found in attending, but I am suspicious that it was part of a Pavlov’s dog experiment. “What piece of equipment will cause Mikie to drool the most???” Despite the fact that I am still seeking out a bigger tractor, I have to say virtually every tractor manufacturer had a tractor on display that was soooo darn BIG... that I could only look and wonder... “What in heck would I ever do with that.” I did, however, ... drool … find the small scale logging stuff and portable band sawmills of great interest ... drool. If I can convince the missus to increase my allowance, I may have some announcements somewhere down the road. In other news!! Like the missus, I am sure that many, many of you readers
are just hoping and praying for spring. But… are any of you doing anything about it?? Just as I thought!! A couple of snowstorms ago, I think it was number 47 of the new year, I was looking and realized that I had allowed the house to become surrounded on two sides by deep snow drifts. I also know that with the warming sun if I can get down to some bare ground the sun will start to melt the remaining snow much more rapidly. So, I pledged to open up space all around the house and begin to banish winter one square foot at a time. And so I did!! It was a little scary though. I am blowing a hole through drifts up to 4 foot high and part way through realize that even with about 3 tons of tractor and equipment, I can’t turn!! I am stuck in the channel and turning the steering wheel doesn’t really do much. Driving out and taking another slice of snow gave me enough room to maneuver. So, my plan is... each and every week... clear just another 100 square feet or so!! Hey!! Drop in about midAugust and admire what spring looks like. 0001

POINT OF VIeW ICE CAVE CONFLICTS Midland is a beautiful place, a rural community surrounded by sprawling dairy farms, rolling hills and valleys, a winery, golf courses and two great restaurants. It's also home of what's quickly becoming one of winter's most popular hiking destinations – the Midland Ice Caves. This little piece of paradise also happens to be where I call home. I've lived here for about eight years now, and can't imagine being anywhere else. We have wonderful neighbours, and enjoy a real sense of community. Here, we also respect each others property and privacy. So, when news started circulating about conflicts between hikers and snowmobile riders on the groomed trail leading to the ice caves, I was a little surprised. After all, it's common knowledge (or so I thought) that the Millstream Valley Snowmobile Club maintains approximately 350 kilometres of snowmobile trails in the area. Members purchase trail passes and hold fundraisers yearly in order to cover the high costs of
J O I N U S
maintaining this trail system. The ice caves and the trails leading to them are on private property. Without the generosity of local landowners, neither hikers or snowmobiling enthusiasts would have access to this natural wonder. Despite all that, the actions of a few are quickly tainting the experience for everyone. Jabbing passing snowmobile riders with ski poles and forming a human chain across the trail so riders can't pass by is nothing short of childish. And, it doesn't stop there. Food wrappers, dirty diapers, drink containers, etc., are being left behind to pollute an area we take pride in. And, access to a local business that happens to be located next to one of the entry points is being compromised every weekend. Most people are thoughtful enough to park safely along the side of the main road. However, there are others who think nothing of filling the parking lot of a business reserved for customers to the point that patrons can't safely access their services. This community goes above and beyond to welcome everyone. Members of our
volunteer fire department have even trained in scenarios of rescue from the caves, should an accident ever take place. All we ask in return is for people to respect one another and not abuse the privilege. Two hiking websites, Trail Peak and Hiking NB, have updated their pages to remind visitors that access to the ice caves is a privilege, not a right, and urges visitors to be safe and courteous. “Due to the increased popularity of the Midland Ice Caves this year, there have been some issues between hikers and snowmobilers,” Hiking NB states. “Remember that the Midland Ice Caves are on private land and that it is a privilege, not a right to be allowed to visit them. Please tread lightly when visiting and make sure you don't leave anything behind. It would be tragic if they were no longer available to enjoy.” 0032

BWC - ICE BREAK-UP CONTEST Ice Classic has been flourishing since the early 1900s, Nenana has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to benefit community activities using a 50.50 draw. We plan to use our share of the money raised to support our summer programs so that we can hire local students for sustainable environmental projects”. The correct time of the Ice Break Up will be recorded by a surveillance camera focussed on a pole located in the channel off Hatfield Point wharf. When it topples, the time date on the video will indicate the winning time. The winner will be announced on Thursday, May 14 at the Belleisle Community Centre. The contest will end Sunday, May 10 – or sooner if the ice breaks up earlier. See: belleislebay.ca for contest information, where to purchase tickets and how to become an agent and raise money for your own group or team. Also, watch FB: belleisle watershed coalition or email bbwatch124@ gmail.com. 3410
HiTechSJ owner Chris Pyne supplied the video surveillance camera to Belleisle Watershed Coalition. Accurate information when the Red and white pole topples is essential for the Ice‐Break Up Contest

Ice Break-up contest like Irish Sweepstakes for Belleisle Bay Community - Belleisle Watershed Coalition recently launched a contest which makes good use of its biggest natural resource this time of year, ice. The question to answer to win the contest is: “When will the Ice Break up in Belleisle Bay?” The winner with the guess closest to the minute may take home over $4000 if all 5000 tickets are sold. Launched in time for Spring, entrants pay a Toonie a ticket to guess the month, day, hour and minute that the ice will leave the Bay. The earliest record, according to David Henderson of the Kings County Record was March 31, 1925. Last year, it was April 24 at 11:00am. The latest recorded date was May 9 in 1939. “Instead of putting money on a horse race, like the Irish Sweepstakes, we want people to put their money on the Belleisle Bay Ice‐Break up,” said Sharon Cunningham, chairman of the Belleisle Watershed Coalition. “We got the idea from Alaska, where the Nenana

aSK The cheF CABBAGE ROLLS Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Today I was busy making cabbage rolls for Saint Patrick’s Day. Someone asked me where do they come from and why are they associated with Ireland? I didn’t know so I had to go find out. Cabbage rolls are a mixture of beef, lamb or pork with herbs and spices and often rice or barley, wrapped in a leaf of cabbage. This was found all over eastern and western Europe and parts of Asia, but more in the northern parts of these continents. In many cultures all over the world you can find meats and grain wrapped in leaves. Cabbage in a very hardy leaf vegetable that grows more easily in colder climate. This is why it was more popular in the north then the south. In South America you often find dishes prepared wrapped in Banana leaves or corn husks. In south east Asia and
China they use many different leaves to wrap food for cooking and eating. In the northern areas of the world, like the one we live in, our ancestors needed to depend on the harvest to get them through the winter. Only the vegetables that they could grow in our short growing season were available. No grocery store, open seven days a week. People needed to get creative with what they grew. Cabbage, like a lot of the vegetables, were pickled to preserve them through the long winter. It was also one of the last items in the pantry as the weather got warmer. The cook of the house would need to come up with different ways to prepare the cabbage and this was a popular one. Since the majority of immigrants that came to Canada were Irish, cabbage rolls were one of the recipes that they brought with them. Since we have a similar climate as they did and a similar growing season, they would grow the same kinds of vegetables as they did before they left. Bringing seeds from
home in search of land to farm was the goal of most of our first generation. Now St. Patrick’s day is not celebrated the same in Ireland as it is here. Here it seems to be a reason to drink early in the day and in the middle of the week. In Ireland, it is a religious holiday, celebrating the Patron Saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. It was made an official Christian feast day in the 17th century to celebrate the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. So whether you are in it for the drinks or the food or a reason to celebrate your heritage, St. Patrick’s day is one of those days we eat things we don’t usually look for like cabbage rolls, which were as much green as possible and have a drink or two to celebrate our heritage. 0040

SUSSEX & DISTRICT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NEWS The Sussex & District Chamber of Commerce are excited to have Rob Moir as their guest speaker for their AGM on Wednesday, March 25 at 6:00pm. The event will be held at the Sussex Golf & Curling Club with the Fundy Buffett, a delicious combination of poached Atlantic Salmon smothered in sauce, steamed Island Blue Mussels with garlic butter and Roast Beef with rich gravy, catered by the Timberland. Rob Moir is a professor of economics at UNBSJ and a social activist from
Clifton Royal, married with three boys. He received degrees from McMaster, Queens and his PHD from McMaster. Rob is also the President of the Atlantic Canada Economics Association and a member of the American Economic Association and the International Association for the Study of Common Property. All of that indicates Rob would be about numbers and lots of them but his research focuses on human behaviour in environments where competition and cooperation clash, such as donations to charities, the funding of public goods and our use of common pool resources (water, air, forests and fisheries). Behaviourally, he argues that people are less competitive than theory would predict, but not cooperative enough to be socially efficient. Moir’s work extends to environmental issues, reduction of domestic and global poverty and community economic development. In 2006, Rob ran as a candidate in the federal election and gathered extensive media attention for his advocacy of the “Energy Park” in the Sussex area. New Brunswick’s economic future is in the headlines every day, come out and hear what this economist has to say about our future!

1. The Easter Bunny originated in Germany, the idea was taken to America during the 1700s. 2. In the old days pretzels were associated with Easter because the twists of the pretzel were thought to resemble arms crossing in prayer. 3. Egg dyes were once made out of natural items such as onion peels, tree bark, flower petals, and juices.

The
Home Show For the past twenty-four years the Kiwanis Home and Lifestyle Show has been held in Sussex and the proceeds from the event have gone to supporting the Club’s fundraising efforts. The Kiwanis started the Home Show to showcase what Sussex has to
offer. It soon became a major fundraiser for Kiwanis over the years. They have supported playgrounds in many different places, Belleisle, Penobsquis, Norton & Sussex and more. Local Kiwanis Clubs have helped with adding a hydrant

the years. The Kiwanis motto is “Priority One: Children” and they try to focus all major projects around this. There are four clubs attached to Kiwanis here in Sussex. In addition to the regular club, the Key Club for high school students has really developed young adults into inspiring people (example: Frank McKenna). Then there is the Aktion Club which is for Adults with disabilities and the Golden K which is Seniors. For almost a quarter of a century the Home Show, which is organized solely by volunteers, has supported community organizations in and around
Sussex, and while it would take more space than we have to list everything that the Kiwanis Club has done in that time. We would like to highlight a few of the organisations which have benefitted from their support: • Mammography Machine • Dialysis Unit • Student Scholarships • Student Library Books • Student Band Program • Accessible Playground Equipment • Kiwanis Nursing Home • Kiwanis Senior Apartments • Norton Playground • Key Club: Assisted them in attending leadership programs • Little Jackies Program • Middle School Breakfast program
The show is a great way to spend an afternoon and offers something for everyone. You can meet contractors and manufacturers, discover new products & services, compare and save, speak with experts and support your community. As a special treat for the little ones, this year’s home show will feature a Petting Zoo and Face Painting. Bring the kids out to meet the friendly lambs, goats, chicks, and rabbits. Face painting will take place Friday 6pm, Saturday 11am, 2:30pm, and 6:30pm, Sunday 1pm. With everything from healthy eating to renovating your home under one roof, this is the place to come with ideas, photos and an open mind. You will leave with inspiration.

FReSh WITh FOOd WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT GINGER? Life changing health problems are often the trigger for a person’s shift to change their lifestyle. All whole foods have nutritional merit, but some foods are healthier in some ways than others. Foods that fall into the spice category are known to have some of the highest levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, relative to their weight. A pinch of cloves can add more antioxidants to a dish than a pear. However, there is one factor that can nullify the nutritional significance of any food. Is it bioavailable? Bioavailability refers to our body’s ability to absorb the active ingredients of a food. It is possible to consume some foods with high nutrient levels, yet absorb very little. For example, salad dressings, as long as they are homemade. Adding some healthy fats by dressing your salad, or adding a handful of raw nuts or an avocado makes the nutrients in your salad greens and vegetables more bioavailable.
In many cases, combinations of certain foods work better together, than on their own. Anti-inflammatory qualities in foods are among the most sought after in my experience. Many spices have strong antiinflammatory capabilities, but which ones are most easily absorbed by your body? A group of researchers in the US conducted a brilliant study that tested the bioavailability of many of our favourite spices. They enlisted the help of about a dozen groups to each consume realistic levels of specific spices and herbs for seven days. Their blood was then dripped onto human white blood cells that had been exposed to oxidized cholesterol, which is particularly inflammatory and appears in your bloodstream after eating foods like fried chicken. Dr. Michael Greger points out that, “they weren’t dripping the spices themselves on these human white blood cells, but the blood of those who ate the spices. So the results represent what might happen when cells in our body
are exposed to the levels of spices that circulate in our bloodstream after normal daily consumption - not megadoses in some pill.” This study represents what can happen through regular healthy eating versus what happens in the lab or with the aid of expensive pharmaceuticals. In this study, turmeric’s closely related cousin, ginger was found to reduce “all three inflammatory biomarkers. Apart from its ability to seriously flavour a stir fry or a soup, ginger makes fantastic tea, goes great with your veggies and famously offers relief for nausea. However, in my opinion, the greatest thing about ginger is that you can grow it yourself in your house or in your garden. Please stay tuned for my next column about growing ginger in your home. 0039

but his research focuses on human behaviour in environments where competition and cooperation clash, such as donations to charities, the funding of public goods and our use of common pool resources (water, air, forests and fisheries). Behaviourally, he argues that people are less competitive than theory would predict, but not cooperative enough to be socially efficient. Moir’s work extends to environmental issues, reduction of domestic and global poverty and community economic development. In 2006, Rob ran as a candidate in the federal election and gathered extensive media attention for his advocacy of the “Energy Park” in the Sussex area. New Brunswick’s economic future is in the headlines every day, come out and hear what this economist has to say about our future!

MuSINGS SPRING, REALLY? The calendar says it is Spring. If you track the passage of the hummingbird migration (hummingbirds.net/ map.html), it looks like Spring is approaching our neck of the woods. I know we are all sick of the white stuff, that no matter how pretty has grown really old, but I refuse to dwell on that. It is, after all, Spring. The Atlantic National Home Show 2015 has come and gone, the Sussex Kiwanis Home & Lifestyle Show approaches. Regardless of what you see outside your window, we will soon enough be complaining about mowing the lawn and fighting blackflies. I am eager to see what my flower garden does this year. This will be the second summer after I transplanted a large number of daylily pieces from my mother’s lovely collection. They all survived and did well last year but this year they should be larger and showier. I will no doubt want to mark the colours so as to decide what needs shifting around for the best colour combinations. (I was always the kid who kept moving around the multicoloured Christmas tree lights for the same reason!) I have been fortunate that the deer have left my flowers alone. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the raspberry patch. The first couple of years it did extremely well, but last year the canes were broken and chewed and we got very few berries. Not sure yet if it will get fenced or if some other solution will be attempted, but I would prefer to have to fight off only the grand grand-daughter and occasionally the Jet for the berries (yes dogs like raspberries, or at least the Jet does) and not the deer too! Meantime, I am packing away all those cozy winter blankets and such and bringing out the spring decor items. No matter what it is doing outside, my house will reflect the change of the season. If you are a proponent of the Law of Attraction, perhaps this will bring Spring along. According to Wikipedia, the law of attraction is the concept that "like attracts like" and that by focusing on positive or
negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results. Perhaps the combined negative thoughts of all of us complaining about winter is just bringing us more of the same! So . . . it will be Spring in my house and I will not dwell on that four letter word that rhymes with row! “That is one good thing about this world...there are always sure to be more
springs.” ~ L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea. 0002

NEW CAFÉ OPENS ON MAIN STREET Off The Rail Café has been off to a phenomenal start after opening in early March. For Brenda Hornbrook, a once stay at home Mom, who has long delighted in serving up tasty baked treats for family and friends it’s a great way to share her passion with those around her. The Café itself is brightly lit and well decorated, beautiful black and white images of trains and railways decorate the walls of this modern simply stylish café. All of the food and snacks they serve are made in-house, including homemade bread for the sandwiches. The smell of which is enough to pull anyone in off the street for a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Even though the café has only been open for a week, Brenda already has plans for the warmer summer months; live music, and possibly even outdoor seating to enjoy a coffee and muffin in the fresh air and sunshine. If you haven’t already been in, be sure to stop by the Café (at 572 Main Street) and try a cup of organic Kicking Horse Coffee, and a homemade treat, bring a friend and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere!
