There has been a lot of mention in the news recently about how poorly we are treating our veterans, especially those who served and suffered in Afghanistan. Once upon a time, it was common for political leaders to also lead their troops into battle. You can be darn sure, rightly or wrongly, that King Richard III strongly believed in the Crusades and other wars that he conducted. King Richard was killed in the War of the Roses in 1485, but here is an account of that battle from Wikipedia. “Accounts note that King Richard fought bravely and ably during this manoeuvre, unhorsing Sir John Cheyne, a well-known jousting champion, killing Henry's standard bearer Sir William Brandon and coming within a sword's length of Henry Tudor before being surrounded by Sir William Stanley's men and killed. The Burgundian chronicler Jean Molinet says that a Welshman struck the deathblow with a halberd while Richard's horse was stuck in the marshy ground. [45] It was said that the blows were so violent that the king's helmet was driven into his skull. [46] The contemporary Welsh poet Guto'r Glyn implies the leading Welsh Lancastrian Rhys ap Thomas, or one of his men, killed the king, writing that he "killed the boar, shaved his head". [45][47] [48] The identification in 2013 of King Richard's body shows that the skeleton had 10 wounds, eight of them to the head, clearly inflicted in battle and suggesting he had lost his helmet. The skull showed that a blade had hacked away part of the rear of the skull. King Richard III was the
last English king to be killed in battle.” Now that is the kind of leadership that we need to bring back for our soldiers. Currently, it is far too easy for the politicians who make the decision to go to war, to also escape the consequences of their decision. You don’t have to be terribly brave to sit in parliament and talk tough and let others suffer the consequences. So we need a new law, entitled “Every politician who supports Canadian soldiers going into a conflict zone must within six months, spend 48 hours at the front lines with our soldiers.” And this is not sneaking quietly into the area for a quick visit but actually out on patrol, doing what our soldiers are doing!! Oh and by the way, politicians injured, killed or otherwise damaged while serving their short time on duty will receive the exact same benefits granted to our soldiers!! Problem solved?? I think perhaps so. 0001

ASk ThE ChEF Colin Sifton from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering here with another answer to your question. I received a great question this week about using low fat milk instead of whole milk when cooking or baking. Can you substitute one for the other? First, I would like to mention that cooking and baking are very different. They’re similar in what we are doing, but very different in methods. Baking is very precise. Your yeast must be at the right temperature and your amounts need to be very exact to come out with the perfect product. Cooking you do not need to be precise at all; throw in what you want and as much as you want, season to taste and bam, you have a meal. Try that with baking and you will end up with a mess. Now back to the question. The answer is similar to the margarine Vs. butter question. It can be substituted, but you will end up with a different product. Our
by Colin sifton
bodies crave fat; if we remove one kind of fat we need to add another to make it taste good. You can bake with 1% but you would need to increase the butter to get what you desire. You will also find that your product is not as moist as it is with whole milk and is a little more solid. That 2% of fat will make that much of a difference. When cooking with milk it is much different. Milk curdles at high temperature and you will see the milk solids separate from the liquid. This will also cause a slightly sour taste to your dish. The higher the fat content, the less separation and souring. Think of the last time you made scallop potatoes or fish chowder. Did you have little curds in the liquid? This is the separation or as we call it in the cooking industry, it has broken. You can fix this by adding flour to bind it back together, but the product will not be the same. It’s missing something - The fat that we desire.
I know we all work hard at watching what we eat. Often we cut down the fat thinking we are creating a healthier product, but at what cost? Sometimes you should treat yourself and make what you want how it should be made, with the fat content the recipe called for. I guess the trick these days is not to do it all the time and when we do, do it in moderation. 0040

Weatherize Your Windows ($25-$40/Window) A quick and more affordable solution to new windows is to weatherize your old ones.
Set your thermostat to start warming up an hour before you expect to wake up or get home, and let the temperature drop down while you’re asleep and when you’re away from home. Don’t freeze the pipes though!
Go to your favourite hardware store and ask them about winterizing your windows. The kits are inexpensive and come with everything you need.

Get your house checked out, have any gaps or holes in your insulation filled in and keep warm during the cold winter months. The colder it is outside the quicker heat will be sucked out of your home.

Enjoy Your Home More, Inside and Out Adding a deck to your home can be a great way to increase the value of your house and get more enjoyment out of it as well. There’s a few things to consider if you’re going to be adding a deck to your house. The first and most obvious being size and purpose. If you’re just looking for somewhere to relax, read a book, and enjoy a coffee in the morning you’ll need much less space than you would if you’re looking to host BBQ’s and get togethers.
Get some nice, fresh spring air circulating through your house and then change the filters that have been catching the dust from the winter’s re-circulated air.
The next thing to consider is positioning, Will the deck be in the shade in the morning, the afternoon, or not at all. Depending
on which direction your house faces and where you plan to put your deck, you may not be enjoying coffee with the sunrise.
If you’re having someone build the deck for you, ask about having a deck box installed for kids toys, or outdoor items; a built-in bench along one side for extra seating, and what kind of rails and railing you want your deck to have. If you don’t have room for a deck to be attached to your house, maybe a gazebo is the right choice for you to get out and enjoy some summer sun and have a place to enjoy a coffee or BBQ. Kitchen and bathrooms are the two most commonly renovated rooms in your house, but that doesn’t mean you’ll want to have to do it more than once. Spend some time leafing through home magazines, browsing the internet, and looking through the aisle at
your local hardware store, to find home there are experts out there to give you the help you need, or what’s right for you. do it for you. Before you start If there’s something that irritates taking down walls, or heaving out you about your current kitchen old appliances, sit down and work or bathroom find out how to out your budget. eliminate that problem when you re-model.

2014 Kiwanis Home Show The Kiwanis Home & Lifestyle Show is instrumental in helping to support the many important community services projects of the Kiwanis Club. For 22 years, this event has played a major role in the club’s fundraising efforts. Financial contributions have supported: • Mammography Machine • Dialysis Unit • Student Scholarships • Student Library Books • Student Band Program • Accessible Playground Equipment • Kiwanis Nursing Home • Kiwanis Senior Apartments • Norton Playground • Middle School Breakfast program This show is an opportunity for the public to support Kiwanis in their many endeavors throughout the area. 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.
The Kiwanis started the Home Show to showcase what Sussex has to offer. It soon became a major fundraiser for Kiwanis over the years. We have supported playgrounds in many different places, Belleisle, Penobsquis, Norton & Sussex and more. We have helped with adding a hydrant for the Fire Department in Coles Island as well as helping other fire departments with equipment. The Kiwanis Home & Lifestyle Show is organized solely by volunteers. The Kiwanis motto is “Priority One: Children”; we try to focus our major projects around this and we have four clubs attached to Kiwanis here in Sussex. We have Key Club for high school students and this club has really developed young adults into inspiring people (example: Frank McKenna), then we have the Aktion Club which is for Adults with disabilities and the Golden K which is Seniors. Kiwanis is very proud of all its members.

gET FRESh WITh FOOD I own a shuttle company in Halifax that I started while I was in university. I know I would like to sell it, but until that is possible, the company just would not continue to operate without Kyle Stewart, my very loyal manager. Kyle comes from a great family, works hard, has a wonderful fiancĂŠe and a great job. You would think that he has it all together. However, at the age of 9, it was discovered that Kyle had undiagnosed kidney disease. Born with underdeveloped kidneys, he developed Renal Rickets, which causes his bones to soften, in this case his left hip, leaving him with a slight limp. After puberty, his metabolism slowed and he gained weight. He watched his ability to play hockey and football disappear. Eventually, walking without pain became impossible. At five feet, six inches, Kyle currently weighs 308 pounds with a BMI of just under 50, double the normal of 25 and lives with pain every day, the only relief when he sits. He is 25 years old, 10 days younger than me. Something has to
change. Since Christmas, I have been trying to go to Halifax to drive some of my hard-nosed health advice into him. On March 19, I finally invaded his apartment with a boat load of vegetables and a new Omega juicer. I taught him how to use it and we made our first juice. It was a little rich on the ginger and Kyle was skeptical. We had a healthy meal and sat down to watch Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, a film that follows Joe Cross on his 60 day journey, consuming juice, water and nothing else. In his words, at 310 pounds Joe "was 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease." He lost 82 pounds in 60 days, was allowed to stopped taking his medication and felt better and had more energy than ever. However, for Kyle, it wasn't Joe that blew him away, it was Phil Staples, the truck driver that Joe met at a truck stop who had the same disease as Joe. At over 429 pounds, he was in worse shape than Joe, at the beginning of his journey. In 61 days, Phil lost 95 pounds and after

another eight months of healthy eating, he was down 202 pounds. Oh, and he doesn't take medication anymore either! Kyle is taking the challenge, first for 10 days.

God looked around His garden And found an empty space, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace Be thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone; For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
Forever in our hearts DO YOU KNOW THIS WOMAN?

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty The Sweet Sound of Freedom: So I was sitting at my desk sort of organizing my week’s work, while I wasted a bit of time on Facebook. Being trapped on Facebook at times can be a paralyzing exercise where time disappears, it’s a black hole where you remain soulless until you’re liberated by its death grip. All of a sudden I see a post about a new song entitled “Freedom” by a local singer/songwriter Gordi Munro. I’m obviously drawn to the Title “Freedom” for obvious reasons (see my Surname). Curiosity had me click on the link to have a listen. I am finally (for who knows how long?) relieved of Facebook’s spell! The song starts off soft and sparse, with a lone piano followed by the smooth, rich voice of Gordi, as it seamlessly glides over top the instrumentation igniting a burst of warm sunshine pushing the dark clouds away. It’s a powerful, beautiful and uplifting piece of music! It reminds me in voice and feel of the late/great Ray Charles' interpretation of his hit “Georgia on My Mind” (from the 1960 album; The Genius Hits the Road) that was written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell.
With a smattering and spirit reminiscent of the 1982 Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes duet “Up where we belong” from the soundtrack for the movie “An officer and a Gentleman”. I contact Gordi and set up a time to meet up and have a chat about the song. I make my way to the City Market where I stop for lunch at Slocum & Ferris (love that place!) and wait for Gordi. We hit it off, instantly mentioning mutual people we know in the biz. I express my enthusiasm for the song and its universal message. “Freedom is whatever you want it to be”, Gordi says. He tells me that song was written and recorded in just one fluid take, without any predetermined thought to either music or lyrics.” My writing partner, Armand AJ Dionne Jr., wanted to test out his new microphone.” Gordi laughs in explaining how they initiated the track. After just under three minutes of inspiration and spontaneity, the song “Freedom” was born! Gordi grew up in Halifax and his heritage harks back to that of the early Africans and Mi'kmaq First Nations. Gordi
refers to himself as “Africadian.” This terminology was created by Canadian poet and playwright George Elliott Clarke (check out Wikipedia). “I came to the Saint John area to do some promotional stuff with a friend”. Gordi responded when asked how he came to move to our fair community. Gordi is currently working on his third album, “Time is the Healer”, while promoting the new single “Freedom”. The song is also in the CBC Searchlight contest so you can help out Gordi by voting for the song here all while supporting great independent music from New Brunswick (voting starts March 24). Find Gordi online at: gordimonro.com or listen and watch the video for “Freedom” on Youtube. 0041

In 2010 13.3 million people in Canada volunteered in one way or another. That’s half of the adult population across the country spent time making other people’s lives better, more enjoyable, or maybe just a little less stressful. Those 13.3 million people gave up two billion hours of their own time to make a difference. Wow!

plant flowers to enrich their communities and create some beauty in the world. Others volunteer at food banks and service groups offering a helping hand to those who need it. Some people mentor youth and spend their time creating a brighter future for our nation’s youth. The possibilities for volunteering are endless. Those 13.3 million people who volunteered in 2010 did a volume of work that equals out to 1.1 million full time jobs. That’s time spent enriching communities and bettering lives while asking nothing in return.

Molly: Molly arrived at the Sanctuary in May of 2013, weighing
in at 1.1 lbs. She’s a short-hair dilute calico with pale amber eyes and unusual markings. Great personality, very affectionate and gets along with all the other felines (and humans) she bunks with. She’s an indoor cat and loves to stretch out on sunny windowsills, (probably working on her tan). As for all our cats, she has been spayed, vaccinated and de-wormed. If interested in Molly, please call the Sanctuary for an appointment to meet her. On another note, we would like to thank Dr. Mitchell Downey and his staff of the Dairytown Veterinary Hospital for their successful efforts, both culinary and fundraising - on their recent ‘CupCake Day’ and for matching donation.

SILENT WITNESS SILHOUETTES The Sussex Chapter of the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers, as well as the Sussex Committee for the Prevention of Family Violence, are hosting the Silent Witness Silhouettes for the month of March in the Sussex area. The New Brunswick Silent Witness Project is a travelling exhibit of life-size red wooden silhouettes,each representing a New Brunswick woman who has lost her life at the hands of her husband, partner or intimate acquaintance. Because these women no longer have a voice, the silhouettes are called the Silent Witnesses. There are two Silhouettes representing women in the Sussex area. Their families have given permission for their stories to be shared. Important Information to Know Related to Intimate Partner Violence in NB: 16% of all solved homicides are domestic violence situations; Since 1990, there have been 40 confirmed deaths of women in New Brunswick who lost their lives in acts of domestic violence; The majority of these women were killed in small towns and rural areas with a population of less than 10,000; The women came from diverse backgrounds and occupations. They were nurses, translators, physiotherapists, factory workers, store clerks and homemakers; Most of the women were middle-aged and as a result of their deaths, 40 children were left without mothers. You will see Silhouettes throughout the Sussex area, please take a moment to read the crest attached to each Silhouette, it is a New Brunswick woman’s story, the story of her life and death. For those seeking more information on this issue, we are organizing a two-day conference on Intimate Partner Violence, entitled “Supporting Individuals Living with Violence: A Community Response to Intimate Partner Violence” on March 26 & 27 in the Sussex area. In addition, on the evening of March 26 at 7:00pm there will be a Vigil at Atlantic Community Church in Apohaqui. These events are open to all. To register for the conference please see our website: silwvconference.com or call 432-4510 for more information. 2675

Dementia: ten things you should know
Ad sponsored by
Ossekeag Publishing
Changes in a person in the early stages of dementia can sometimes be mistaken for normal aging. How often have you misplaced your car keys or walked into a grocery store and forgotten what to buy? Memory lapses are common as we age, but when memory loss begins to impact our daily lives, it could be the early signs of dementia. Ignoring these signs often leads to peole not being diagnosed for months, even years. An early diagnosis allows you to know what you’re dealing with and make importatn decisions with the right information so you can live well with dementia.
Take 10 minutes to learn these 10 signs: Memory loss - having trouble remembering
Difficulty with abstract thinking - struggling
Difficulty doing day-to-day tasks -
Misplacing things -
Language problems - finding the right words
Changes in behaviour - exhibiting severe mood
Disorientation - getting lost in your own
Changes in personality - becoming unusually
Poor or decreased judgment - wearing
Loss of initiative - withdrawing from friends and
recent events or retaining new information.
forgetting how to write a cheque or cooking a familiar recipe. or using them inappropriately.
neighbourhood or not knowing the time of day.
light clothing in freezing weather.
to perform mental tasks like adding numbers.
putting the ice cube tray in the oven instead of the freezer. swings for no apparent reason.
depressed, suspicious or anxious.
family and lising interest in favourite activities.
If you’re concerned about any of these signs for yourself or someone you care about, see your doctor. Remember, there is a great deal that you can do to live a fulfilling life after diagnosis. The Alzeimer Society can help. Find out more: www.earlydiagnosis.ca.

MUSINgS by debbie hickey SPRING? . . . REALLY? As I sit down to write this on the eve of the first day of spring, a look out of the window makes that rather hard to believe. There is snow, snow and more snow, broken only by areas of not bare round (sigh) but of ice where the snow has been plowed for the driveway and yard. The radio trumpets the forecast. . . more snow (tho’ hopefully changing to rain in this area). I know my memory may be growing a little less sharp as the years accumulate, but I have reason to be aware of the weather at this time of year as one of my daughters was born mid-March. Many years of planning birthday parties are clear in my mind. . . 90% of the time the ground was if not totally bare certainly primarily so by mid-March. And I am very clear in my memory of mid-March two years ago, since my other daughter was hospitalized for a few days and we were visiting her dressed in shorts and t-shirts! A few days ago I grew so disgusted with
the endless winter that I rebelled and refused to wear another cozy sweater to work. In spite of the cold and snow I pulled out a colourful long summer skirt for the day (worn over a pair of leggings for warmth of course, I’m not crazy just fed up with winter). Yesterday a co-worker reported that the annual hummingbird migration is underway and the hummingbirds are in North Carolina. I recommend they stay there (their forecast for tomorrow is sunny and 20 degrees). And yet. . . there are subtle signs that spring is out there somewhere. The days are longer. There is heat in the sun, as evidenced by the melting of the ice in sunny spots (course it refreezes every night and adds to the thick layer in the yard). Yesterday I saw a dead racoon, the first of many roadkills I am sure. And at the office there is a lightening of the atmosphere. I hear giggles and jokes and laughter. Time spent with friends can uplift even the coldest days and a
little laughter sure helps. But. . . does that laughter sound a little maniacal? Perhaps we have simply all gone over the edge... A little madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King. ~Emily Dickinson. 0002
