The Sussex Herald

Kathleen wasn’t available to do her column this week, and since I am still kicking around Ossekeag part-time I offered to step into the breach. Funnily enough, just last week I had commented that this was the first time I really wished I was still writing Musings because of an exciting event while grocery shopping. Actually, it wasn’t during the grocery shopping, but in the aftermath that the adventure began. I was a charter member of the KenVal Co-op and continue to shop there now that it has become a Foodland store. For too many years to count I have been picking up my mother every other Tuesday afternoon and we do our biweekly grocery shopping together. This particular Tuesday was a windy rainy day and Mum and I had finished and paid for our purchases. My cart, as usual, was piled high with bags and boxes. Also as usual I guided it out of the store and “parked” it up against a large concrete pillar, that supports the overhead shelter over the entry, while I went to bring the car up to the door. Since it was a rather nasty day my mother was waiting just inside the glass doors while I got the car. Other than noting that the wind had really picked since since we went into the store, so far everything is situation normal. And then it was not . . . As I am scurrying for the car, I hear someone honking their horn, and then another someone. Curious, I turn around to see what is up. Actually what was up, was now down, or in the process of being down . . . down the parking lot that is.

There is a slight downward slope to the parking lot, but what I saw was a fully loaded cart, dropping grocery bags as it came, rolling straight for me and picking up speed! Well I may be getting old, but as David Myles says, I’m not old yet. I jumped out of the way and reached out to grab the cart as it rushed past me. Nearly hauled my arm out of the socket but I got it stopped! Meanwhile my mother has come out to grab up the escaping groceries and gets caught by the wind. Fortunately those pillars are there, or she would have been soon tumbling across the parking lot with the groceries! With some assistance from a couple of the staff (and a replacement for the eggs that were broken) the car was loaded up with both of our grocery orders and we headed home still laughing like fools. That was almost as much fun as when the power went out mid-way through our grocery shopping and the staff came with flashlights to let us finish our orders and then did a manual check-out for us. Customer service indeed! 0001

TALKING TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR SLEEP When was the last time your family doctor or healthcare provider asked you about your sleep? Eight out of 10 doctors believe that discussing sleep as part of the patient’s health is important but more than half of them do not feel that they have time to incorporate this into office visits. Even the occasional sleepless night can make daily tasks hard to cope with. A poor night’s sleep can make you cranky, less able to concentrate, make you a sleepy driver or worker, and lead to many health problems. Once identified, most sleep problems can be cured or controlled. Recognizing a problem, and getting it properly diagnosed will take a discussion with your doctor. If you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, feeling like you haven’t slept well, or suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness, talk to your family doctor. Maintain a sleep diary and record your sleep patterns. Ask your bed partner and family what they notice about you and your sleep. Do you snore? Do you stop breathing in your sleep? Do you fall asleep during the day without realizing it? Make a specific appointment with your doctor to talk about your sleep and come prepared with a list of questions and

concerns. Bring your sleep diary. Mention any sleep tips or sleep aids you’ve already tried and for how long. There may be a medical cause for your sleep problem, and proper diagnosis is an important first step to resolving it. Your doctor may refer you to a sleep specialist or clinic. Now is the time to make your health and well-being a priority. Introduce your sleep as part of the conversation between you and your family doctor or healthcare provider. You deserve a good night’s sleep. 0038

MAY IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH Sexual assault is any type of sexual activity that is unwanted, by someone to whom you have not given your consent. A sexual assault may include the use of physical force, threats or intimidation. Sexual assault is a crime. One in three women and one in six men will experience sexual assault in their lifetime. 80% of assailants are friends or family of the victim, and these crimes happen at home more often than any other location. Young women, seniors, disabled persons, and First Nations women are most likely to be assaulted, but it can also happen to women and men from all walks of life. Only about 6% of sexual assaults are reported to police. Sexual assaults are no more likely to be falsely reported than any other crime; about 2-4% of reports are deemed to be false. While most sexual assaults do not result in physical injury, it is still important to seek medical attention. A healthcare provider can offer advice on

reporting the event, should the victim choose to do so. The provider can address concerns regarding infection, pregnancy, and safety. They can help the survivor to begin to recover. You can support survivors of sexual assault by believing them, letting them know it is not their fault, and by asking them what they need. Listen to them without judgment and help them to feel safe. Let them make the decisions, and help them find the resources they need. If you suspect you are being abused, if you have been sexually assaulted, or if you just need to talk, call the Domestic Violence Outreach Coordinator at 433-6579. If you are in danger or need immediate medical attention, call 911.

IN THE GARDEN NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT! Now that the Lily family is showing signs of life there is an urgent need to assist in their survival; the dreaded Red Lily beetle will be on the march as soon as the word is out and since they procreate at the most alarming rate we need to be ready with spray bottles loaded with one Tablespoon of dish soap to one litre of water. Daily spraying is vital, last year a huge patch of lilies was totally destroyed in a matter of days, having increased their numbers, the Red Devils actually moved on to the gardener’s potato patch and did a very nasty number there before they were stopped. The deer herd is also on the rampage, after the winter’s lean pickings, they are ready and able to devastate our gardens and we need to be on the defensive. A seven or eight foot fence will look after the vegetable patch and though some folk have had success with an electric fence, there are no guarantees, an

unexpected power cut and it seems that personal invitations have been handed out; there are also many tales of stalwart deer who considered it worth a quick ‘jolt’ to feast on a well stocked garden. For the flower gardener there are happily several options; inexpensive homemade sprays are really quite effective, the rule of thumb seems to be to combine evil smells with revolting tastes, a tablespoon each of Murphy’s Oil soap and Listerine in a litre of water; one part Ammonia to nine parts water; Garlic/soap/oil mixtures all work fairly well and the addition of a beaten egg to any of these will cause the application to stick to the leaves so well that a fairly heavy rain will not be able to wash them off. Needless to say, these potions tend to render the garden less fragrant than it should be, but it does save the plants. Other less pungent systems also work; lines strung between poles with CD’s, tin plates, strips

of white cloth or even white plastic bags that catch the wind will scare off the marauders, however these can be quite unsightly, (take a look at my hideous fence and you will see what I mean). None the less, once the bushes and plants are in bloom the deer scarers do tend to fade from sight and the beauty of the garden becomes the focus for us. Which leads me to the joys of the spring garden, at last the Daffodils, Crocus, Primula and Scilla are fully in bloom and soon will be joined by the multicoloured Tulips; all a wonderful reminder to me of the Resurrection! Soak up the beauty now to reflect on when you are away from the garden. Betty Kennett, Blessings. 0045 Resident Green Thumb

Although the recent celebration of Mother’s Day is only slightly more than a 100 years old, ancient Greeks and Romans honoured mother goddesses, and by extension all mothers, thousands of years ago. This was followed by early Christians who held Mothering Sunday on the 4th Sunday of Lent. Canada has, like many other countries, created the second Sunday in May as a day to honour our mothers and the role they play

in families. Making a Mother’s Day celebration memorable and unique doesn’t have to

Before I was a Mom I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday. Before I was a Mom I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming

child so that doctors could do tests... or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed

a hungry baby. I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important. Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom. Author unknown

ASK THE CHEF THE MAKING OF A BBQ SAUCE Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Spring is here and I just pulled out my barbecue and thought it would be nice to make my own sauce this summer. I started looking at my cook books and I found a few that I thought I would try. This is where I started. Barbecue or cooking over an open flame has been around since the discovery of fire. The use of a sauce being brushed on meat did not start until the 17th century in America. 7As this fad continued each state started trying different versions of their own sauce and concoction give a real regionally to barbecue sauce. Most barbecue sauce consists of the same ingredients, a base. Here is the base that I use and from here I will explain how it can evolve into whatever you want to create. I start with the following. Ingredients: 1/2 cup ketchup; 2 tablespoons brown sugar; 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce; 1 Tbsp cider vinegar; 1 dash hot pepper sauce (Tabasco); 1 tsp garlic powder; 1/4 tsp mustard powder; 1/4 tsp salt. Directions: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, mustard powder, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before brushing on your favourite meat. If it is chunky and you want to preserve it for later, you can puree it and place in a bottle in you fridge.

Now from here we can get creative. Let's start with heat. You can use several different items, like jalapeño peppers or cayenne pepper to increase the heat in your barbecue sauce. Remember to let your sauce sit before adding more. Adding heat increases a lot as it cooks and often people add too much at first because the heat just wasn’t there, and now it is. If you add too much heat, you can cool it a bit with my next suggested ingredient, fruit. Add different types of fruit give your barbecue sauce a new flavour. Pineapple, apples, oranges are just a few suggestions, but if you have fruit that starts to brown, like peaches that no one is going to eat, add it to your barbecue sauce. It would be part of the simmering process above. My last suggestion is alcohol. Remember that alcohol burns off when it comes to a boil so this will still be safe for your kids. Some flavours in alcohol can bring out flavours you did not know were there. In the south they use bourbon or whiskey. Wine, rum and gin all come from natural products and the flavours when cooked will surprise you. Again this is one of those items that is easy to make your own. A living recipe that can change once you have a base to work Colin Sifton with. 0040 Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

Q. What is the best way to plan for financial emergencies? A. Financial emergencies can come in many

different forms. You could lose your job, lose your health, your basement can flood, the transmission can fall out of your car or something else that you’ve never planned for. The best way to plan for an emergency is to establish an emergency fund. This will give you the funds you need to deal with life’s unexpected hurdles. By having an emergency fund, you won’t have to turn to credit cards or loans to deal with emergencies. You should try to have an emergency fund that has about 6 months of your minimum monthly expenses. While saving this much may seem overwhelming, you can start by saving as little as $10 per month. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to establish an emergency fund, as long as you get started. Make sure that you will have easy access to your money when you need it. It might seem attractive to put your money into investments but, depending on how it is invested, you might not be able to access it on short notice without paying a large penalty. You should speak with your banker about the best way to keep your emergency fund. If you need assistance working emergency savings into your budget, we are pleased to offer free consultations.

STORM WATER AWARENESS OPEN HOUSE

Storm water is something a lot of people don’t even consider. They see water running across a parking lot into a drain and never consider where that water goes or what might be in that water. During a rainfall they know water falls off their roof and onto their driveway, but where does it go from there? The Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration Committee (KWRC) and the Town of Hampton, with support from TransCanada Energy, TD Friends of the Environment and Trout Unlimited Canada, are working to improve awareness of where stormwater

flows in the Town of Hampton. On Wednesday, May 18 the KWRC will be hosting an Open House aimed at helping people learn where the storm water in their area goes and the impacts that water might have on the rivers and streams of the Kennebecasis watershed. People can also find out about, and volunteer to be involved with, the Yellow Fish Road program, which will mark storm drains that lead directly to the Kennebecasis River. This is an education and awareness program developed by Trout Unlimited, and the KWRC is the only partner in New Brunswick. The KWRC has developed four pamphlets for to help homeowners better manage stormwater run-off on their property. These will be presented at the open house, which will be held at the Hampton Town Hall from 6:30-8:30pm. People are encouraged to stop in and see how they can improve the way in which they handle storm water on their property and how this can benefit the Town. For more information: Ben Whalen, Project Manager, KWRC - 433-4394, Ben.whalen@kennebecasisriver.ca, kennebecasisriver.ca; townofhampton.ca; tucanada.org (Trout Unlimited Canada). 4051

DOLLARS & SENSE CALCULATING THE COST OF SAVING MONEY It seems more and more I am hearing ads talk about taking a payment break for yourself or let’s see if we can reduce your costs so that you can have more money in your pocket. Having more money in your pocket is an appealing notion; we all want to have more money in our pocket (especially to do fun things). My concern is how you get there, instead of feeling excitement when I hear offers to save me money, I end up feeling apprehension and my financial side springs to life. Not to say that there are not ways that this can work, but usually it is not as easy and beneficial as it sounds. Money and time have a connected value. When you are paying off debt, you want to do it in a short period of time, when you are investing… well, you want lots of time to increase that money. Anytime you are taking a break

from a payment you are increasing the amount of time you will have to pay that debt over. In the long run you have to ask yourself is the short term gain, worth the longer term payment? I can tell you my immediate self says ‘yes I want that,’ on the other end when I am delaying retirement or looking at a consolidation my older self would say ‘no, I don’t need that.’ That’s the balance we are always struggling with when it comes to our finances, there are things we need and have to buy (groceries, gas, etc.) and then there are things we want to buy (new clothes, jewellery, etc.). We all have to give into a want every now and then, it is human nature, and yes sometimes we do make mistakes. Advertising will always appeal to our wants, the key is to take that moment and consider how you will be affected in the long run.

If you are looking at extending the life of your loan or mortgage we have calculators available at: solveyourdebts. com that will help you figure out the true cost of those decisions. 0005

MICKEY:

Arrived at our Sanctuary in January 2014. He’s a lovely medium-hair, black and white tuxedo cat with a plumed tail and the longest whiskers ever. Very regal looking with a great personality, a mutterer and one who loves his ‘creature comforts’. His coat is silky, shiny and does not ‘mat’. He loves to be brushed however. He has been neutered, vaccinated and treated for all parasites. He does enjoy the outdoors during the day, but does not go far and is always in at night and comes when summoned.

FOOT ‘PRINTS’ HEEL SPURS The usual causative factor in Heel Spurs is referred to as Plantar Fasciitis. ‘Plantar’ is the bottom of the foot as in Plantar Warts. ‘Fascia’ is a covering like the fascia of a house. ‘Itis’ means inflamed. The Plantar Fascia is the body’s longest ligament. Extending from the bottom of the heel to the bottom of the toes, it is triangular in shape. Its primary function is to protect the four layers of muscle below it, functioning like a skid plate under a truck. It also acts like a tie bar to maintain and stabilize the arches of the feet. It is tough and elastic in nature. You can either traumatize or overpull it, as I once did, limping off a tennis court (game over, kids, you win!). Usually it develops slowly, initially a dull ache in the heel and it’s usually experienced the first few steps out of bed or following periods of rest or non-weight bearing. If it goes on long enough, it may pull on the heel bone to form a bone spur. It can become painful to the point that the person cannot walk. It is often found in the approximately ten percent of families who have high arches, non-weight bearing which flatten or roll in on weight bearing. Thousands of times a day during walking or running, the plantar fascia receives a “twist”, which pulls it away from the heel. There are many forms of treatment. Usually, a combination of a course of low intensity laser treatments, coupled

with custom moulded foot orthotics which fit in the shoes and control the rolling in or over pronation of the feet. “Happy Walking”. 0025

LISTEN IN 200th ANNIVERSARY STEAMBOAT CONCERT Along with an interest of steam trains and a growing interest recently in steamboats; one day I hope to be able to really learn more about the history of the steamboat, especially in relation to our own community here on the river. So when I hear about an event that will encompass a celebration of the history of the steamboat and live music I can’t help but let folks know about this family oriented event. I talked to Eric McCumber who is instrumental in putting this event together and has his own personal history in the subject. His grandfather Captain Donald F. Taylor wrote three books about Steamboats on the St.John River. They are available at the library for your reading pleasure. At one time in the early 1800’s that was the major mode of transportation, long before trains, planes and automobiles. “Before 1803 we had not even 10 miles of road here in NB” Eric

tells me. The invention of the steamboat is what really opened up the province” Eric continues. “The river was our highway and before the steamboat you had to row a boat, paddle a canoe or ride on a sloop. (Definition - https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Sloop) We're asking folks to come out and drift back to the Steamboat Era when the river was our highway and life and boats moved at a civilized pace.” Eric tells me in relation to the event. “The steamboat General Smyth left Saint John on it's maiden voyage to Fredericton on May 20, 1816. For more information on this and the 130 years of steamboats on the St. John River system check the website at: kingstonnb.ca.” Both the Macdonald Consolidated School Choir and the Kingston Peninsula Heritage Choir will be entertaining the audience in celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the First Steamboat in New Brunswick with a concert at the

beautiful Trinity Church in Kingston on Thursday, May 19 at 7:00pm. Carolyn Murray will be playing on the vintage 1785 W.N. Hedgeland church organ which is sure to be a treat! The performance will include 1816 period music by the choirs all dressed in periodera costumes. We will hear some more modern New Brunswick songs as well. The engine gong from the famous 1845 steamboat, Reindeer, will be rung. A reception will follow at the Parish Hall across the street. A Free will offering would be appreciated. I could talk to Eric all day about this subject! Thanks Eric for taking the time to enlighten us about this rich part of our river and peoples Jeff Liberty history. 0041 Columnist, @Jlibertyartists
