Hi there, my name is Cody, a.k.a Mr. Mustachio AND I’M STILL HERE! I’m really anxious to find a permanent home. I’m 2 years old, good looking, tuxedo style in dress, weighing in at 10 lbs. Don’t get me wrong, the Sanctuary is a wonderful place to live in. I’m free to roam (they do a head-count every night however), great food, warm and fuzzy bed, combed and brushed, just love it! I’m well taken care of, but competing for affection, petting time, and conversations with the humans is a struggle. My mug appeared in the Sussex Herald/Hampton Herald twice in the past, but no bites. I have a great personality, know my name, am not a fighter and accept whatever is coming my way.

ASK THE CHEF HOME MADE FRIES Colin Sifton here again with an answer to your question. This week I received a question about french fries. I’ve tried to make my own homemade french fries but they never come out like ones from stores or restaurants. What am I doing wrong? The answer is you are not doing anything wrong. You will never be able to reproduce the frozen french fries you buy in a store. The ones used in restaurants are all from the same producers as your local grocery store, they just come in a larger package. There are three major producers of french fries in North America and two are from the Maritimes - McCains and Cavendish. They have shoestring, crinkle cut, 7/16th, skin on, skin off, crispy fry, and the list goes on and on. If you look at the ingredients on the bag you will notice it contains more than just potato, oil and salt; yet the ones you make at home are just that. All processed food contains preservatives and additives, but at home you are not going to add any of these. Some frozen french fries often have potato starch added to the outside to make the outside crispy. This is the first reason of the difference. Second reason is that restaurants always use deep fryers, cooking from frozen to done in just over a minute. Cooking in your oven or in a smaller amount of oil in a pan you can’t expect to get a similar product. Now if you do have a deep fryer and are cutting your own fries you still will not get the

same product. The reason why is the potatoes you are using are raw and the frozen ones are just frozen, already cooked. Now I love home-cut fries. All I do is cut battons of potatoes, leaving the skins on. Toss in a bowl with salt, pepper and olive oil until the battons are well coated. Place on an oiled baking sheet and cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. I will check them after about 10 minutes and give them a flip. Near the end or just before eating, I will put the oven on broil at 500 degrees just to give them that final crisp for a minute or so. Sometimes I might add some herbs or cajun spice. A batton is one cm by one cm and as long as the potato. You can make them bigger or smaller if you wish. Smaller will be crispier and larger with be less. I would take home-cut fries any day over frozen store bought fries. I can pronounce everything that the fries contain and I know the items I am adding. It may seem like it takes longer, but in the end you should enjoy what you are eating and not just be satisfied. Take the time and enjoy the difference. 0040

SUSSEX SPORTS WALL OF FAME The Greater Sussex Sports Wall of Fame Committee is pleased to announce the selection of two new members for induction for the year 2015. Both have contributed much to the celebration of sport in the Sussex area, and reflect both the joy of being involved, and providing great entertainment for their followers. Sussex Junior Rangers - 1949-1955 (Team): In this era, hockey in Sussex reached new heights. The Rangers were instrumental in the building of the Kings County Stadium which they repeatedly filled to capacity by playing an exciting brand of hockey. The first Ranger team in 1949-50 won the Maritime Junior "B" Championship that was the beginning of six years of dominance in the sport. In those years, the team won three Maritime Championships and were denied two others by what was deemed as unfair rulings by the Maritime Amateur Hockey Association. As one pundit mused " .... it was literally a dynasty! I was always amazed in those years by the great support a town with such a small population could muster to support those Junior "B"

teams ..... that never failed to thrill fans with their clean, brilliant, yet aggressive play and to inspire youngsters of those years to work toward hockey excellence so that they might some day play on such teams." It is notable that even today, 60 years later, the Rangers name is alive and well in Sussex hockey circles. Doug Shippee - Builder: Hot Air ballooning has caught the imagination of thousands of people in the Sussex area over the years. Doug Shippee was one of those people who became a pilot, bought a balloon and adopted Sussex as his "home port" as he travelled around the world to various festivals and competitions. He earned his instructors credentials and trained six pilots from our region over the span of 20 years. He placed among the top ten at the Canadian Hot Air Ballooning Championship in 1990 but is most well known as the inspiration for the organization of the first Atlantic Balloon Festival in Sussex in 1985. At the invitation of Tourism NB and the cooperation of locals Art Goold, Jack Smith, Art Noiles and many other volunteers, Doug worked hard to establish our Fiesta. This year, it will celebrate its 30 anniversary, an appropriate time to honour Mr.

ay D s ’ r e h t o M y p a p H After all the snow has melted (hopefully), and Spring is well under way, we take the time to say thanks to our Mom on the second Sunday of May. Who more deserving of a holiday in her name, than the lady who raised you, since you were a babe. So, we go with our offerings of flowers and cards, and we pay our thanks for a debt that can

never fully be repayed. How many of us owe our kindness and heart, to the gentle mothering we received when we were still young. From before we were born she carried us, and until her last breath she will walk by your side, ready and willing to comfort and console, help and love. For, to be a Mother is more than a job it’s a life long commitment sealed with love.

One day a year, we offer our thanks to the woman who has spent her whole life giving us all; from kissing bruised and scrapped knees, to running us to the doctors; a true superhero in the flesh, with the strength and will of ten. No statues will be raised in her honour, no days will bear her name, there won’t be bells ringing or fireworks, but we can celebrate her all the same. For the untold hours and days she’s given. For fevers broken with a cold cloth, or for diapers changed, for encouraging our passions long before talent arrived, before we can realize all that she’s done. 1. Take her to breakfast. Breakfast in bed has long been associated with Mother’s Day, the one day of the year where mom gets to sleep in and dad (and/or the kids) make breakfast. Now that you’re grownup why not take her out to

breakfast at her favourite restaurant. You don’t have to cook, neither does she and you get to enjoy some time together. 2. Go see a play or movie together. As we grow up, we tend to spend less and less time with our parents, we all have busy schedules and places to be. Flowers are great, but spending time together is better. This Mother’s Day give your mom tickets to a play, or a movie pass and tell her you want to take her out for the night, just the two off you. Let her pick where you’re going and what to do, and enjoy your time together. 3. Invite her over for dinner. Maybe, breakfast is too early for you, invite your mom over for supper and enjoy each other’s company. If you have little ones have them

Happy Mother’s Day!

POINT OF VIEW MUDDY PAW PRINTS I think it was Charles Schulz, creator of the timeless Peanuts comic strip, who coined the phrase, “life is better with a dog.” If you're a huge dog lover like I am, you understand that dogs do make life better – just by being in our lives. My dog is no exception. In fact, I can't imagine my life without her in it. By dog standards, my fur baby hardly qualifies as a “real” dog. She only weighs in at a whopping 15 pounds. But, what she lacks for in size, she certainly makes up for in personality. If you don't believe me, just ask anyone who's met Molly. She's a Shih Tzu and, boy, is she cute. I can remember picking her out of the litter, thinking she appeared to be the calm and quiet one of the bunch. Well, let me tell you, looks can be deceiving. From the time we welcomed her into the McMillan household, she's been anything but! That was nine years ago, and she's still showing no signs of being either calm

or quiet. In fact, as I sit here looking at my dirty floor and her latest deposit of muddy paw prints, I think of the joy this little dog has brought into my life. There isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't make me laugh – a lot. It doesn't matter what kind of day I'm having, her unconditional love and affection can make even the worst day better. Yup, I'm not afraid to admit that my voice instantly goes into baby talk mode when I see her either “how's mama's beebee?” I can't help it, really. It just happens and I have no control over it. She looks at me with that short little muzzle and those big eyes and I just melt. We happened to choose this particular breed, because she suited our busy lifestyle best. She doesn't shed, is hypoallergenic, doesn't require a lot of exercise and is outgoing and affectionate. If I had the time and money, I'd own several dogs – both large and small. It makes me angry when I hear people say that certain dog breeds, such as pit bulls

or rottweilers, are “bad.” There is no such thing as a bad dog, only a bad dog owner. Dogs are our most loyal friends and constant companions. They don't discriminate based on gender or race. And I like to joke that, unlike people, they don't talk back. They provide us with so much, and require little in return. A loving home, food and a warm place to sleep is little to give when compared with what they give us. There are many dogs (and cats) in area shelters who are looking for their forever home. If you have the time and love to share, consider visiting a shelter and adopting a loving pet – you'll be glad you did. diane@ossekeag. ca. 0032

LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER We believe that if a woman with cancer can be helped to look good, chances are she’ll feel better, her spirits will be lifted and she’ll be empowered to face her illness with greater confidence. We like to call it a ‘makeover for the spirit’. Look Good, Feel Better workshops are held on the third Monday of each month from 1:30-3:30pm. This program is geared towards patients experiencing skin and hair changes due to radiation and/or chemotherapy. The workshop is free of charge and is held in the Oncology Conference Room at the Saint John Regional Hospital.

GET FISHING HOW DO YOU GET TO YOUR FISHING HOLE? After a very long and hard winter, warmer temperatures have finally ushered in another great fishing season. In our backyard there are countless opportunities for anglers of all ages and skill levels, and an amazing variety

of adventures waiting for you to enjoy. How do you prefer to get to your favorite fishing hole; walk, paddle or drive? Loading up a backpack, grabbing a rod and hiking into the woods is how I started as a child and was one of the most influential experiences to shape who I am as an adult. Sharing this experience with my Dad gave me an appreciation and love for nature and

memories I’ll never forget. We would fish along a stream or around a pond, enjoy a ‘mug up’, and often camp for the night, eventually returning home with a few trout for a family meal. Today, my personal preference is to fish from a kayak. Fishing kayaks today are much more capable and versatile than many realize. With a high quality fishing kayak or canoe, you can carry lots of fishing and camping equipment, move along fairly quickly and even fish standing up! Kayaking is far less expensive than a motor boat, requires no maintenance or registration, is great exercise, and you can go virtually anywhere. Should you be interested in giving kayak fishing a try, look up the “Greater Saint John Kayak Anglers; a local social group with members of all ages and experiences. Here you’ll find lots of people eager to offer advice, answer questions and of course go fishing with you! Finally, many people prefer to use a motorboat. Boats these days are amazing with lots of variety, customizations and options to choose from. Aside from the speed at which you can get to your fishing spot, they are roomy, have live wells to hold fish, places to store many rods or other equipment and a ton of advanced electronics to help navigate the waters, find fish and even charge your cell phone! Of course, with a motorboat, you can also take the family on a joyride, water ski and explore miles and miles of the countryside by river which you could never do otherwise. Coming up on Saturday, June 20 is the Ecological Adventures Paddling Derby in Oromocto. This is a fun catch-photorelease tournament open to all paddlers and structured to put fun ahead of competition. Come out, try and catch as many species as you can, and win a great prize. One random participant will even walk away with a new fishing kayak at the end of the day! For more info visit: nbfishingderbies.com. 0044

MUSINGS INCREDIBLE SHRINKING VOCABULARY? A conversation with my Grade 3 granddaughter sent me researching the other day. At her school they have a word of the week. These are generally multisyllabic words that may not be part of the working vocabulary for many kids in Grades 3 to 5. Words such as impeccable, perturbed, malicious, placid and irk. I thought this was a cool idea, but it got me wondering what the working vocabulary of an “average” English speaker might be. Turns out this was a more complex question than it appeared. There seems to be general consensus that the English language has the most words of any language (perhaps because we have been so good at adopting words from other languages), coming in at 1 million plus. Most of us recognize only a very small fraction of these (20-30,000, although some sources cite 50,000) and use even fewer. In the course of my digging

around to satisfy my curiosity I came upon several articles on the possibility that average working vocabularies are actually decreasing. Scientists have speculated that technology may be the cause. That children’s brains are wired to learn by hearing and repeating words, which is what we do from infancy, and that the increasing amount of time spent with technology is taking away from that exposure during those critical development years. As we grow a little older and learn to read, the kids who read a lot (particularly fiction books) have a vocabulary that is double that of those who read little. Several articles took this concept beyond reading to say we are becoming “dumber”. How many phone numbers can you remember, or do you rely on the address book in your phone? Do you rely on Spellcheck or a calculator for things you used to be able to do in your head? How often do you, like me, go to Google for the answer to a question? Is this something you once knew or should know, or is it

something you would have looked up in a dictionary or encyclopedia? Technology has made our memories lazier. Are we filling up the space that used to be utilized for these mundane facts of daily living with useful but different information, or is there simply less in there? I don’t know the answer, but I encourage a healthy dose of reading on a daily basis for all, young and old! “We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” ~ Booker T. Washington “One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.” ~ Evelyn Waugh. 0002
