For your convenience you can drop off ads and editorial at: Crafter’s Vineyard 614 Main Street, Sussex

“HYPOCRISY??” Hypocrisy - “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.” (Google) You may or may not have seen Mr. Jim Irving, (co-CEO of J D Irving Limited) in various interviews defending the companies forest management practices. The easiest way to locate a couple of these interviews is to simply do a Google search for “interviews with Jim Irving”. When you hear, watch or read any of the interviews, he comes across as a man who is deeply committed to doing what is right in the forest and doing no harm to the environment. So one wonders if this is a great act or if in fact he “walks the talk”. Now in one interview Mr. Irving stated: “J.D. Irving has been operating a scientific research group for 15 years with six people holding doctorate degrees and a dozen graduate students hired annually for summer employment.” What he did not state was this group apparently was not consulted with at all in regard to the new harvesting plan!! According to one of the PhDs interviewed, the company will listen to them but would not follow any advice that harmed the bottom line. I would suggest, if at all possible, you view the video (episode 6) at “Is our forest really ours” (isourforestreallyours. com) but I will highlight some of the key points. The video documents clear cutting that occurs around cottages that have been built on small parcels of

crown land. Then the video takes us to a view of the Irving fishing lodge on the Restigouche River. Now according to the video producer, Charles Thériault, hundreds of acres surrounding the lodge is designated protected land. What this appears to mean is that one of the provinces leading practitioners of clear cutting and protector of our crown lands, appears to be saying that what is good enough for the rest of New Brunswickers just isn’t good enough for their family. While there is no evidence that the Irvings somehow manipulated the selection of surrounding forest to be protected, out of 3.4 million hectares of crown land, the idea that several hundred hectares was randomly selected around their lodge, does stretch one’s credibility. Reputable news agencies may wish to ask Mr. Irving to clarify if their forest management policies only apply to the rest of us, but “not in my backyard”????? This would make a great investigative topic by the Telegraph Journal. We have been assured that they have editorial independence, but do they also have job security???? 0001

WELL RESTED OSA: THE “NOT SO SILENT” KILLER Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common breathing disorder of sleep. It is marked by heavy snoring,pauses in breathing, gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other factors in OSA include morning headaches, a large neck, being overweight and high blood pressure. There are strong associations between untreated Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease. Those with untreated OSA are at greater risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and early death due cardiovascular problems. This grim outlook can be changed by having your sleep apnea diagnosed and treated. Where to start? STOP and talk to your doctor if you answer YES to any of the following: S - do you SNORE loudly? T - do you feel TIRED? O - has anyone OBSERVED you stop breathing? P - do you have high blood PRESSURE? Your doctor may decide to refer you for a sleep test either in your own home or in a sleep

lab to see if your breathing is disturbing your sleep. Some of the most common treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea include Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), weight loss and Mandibular Advancement Devices. The gold standard in treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. You may have a friend or neighbor who “sleeps with a mask on at night.” Well, that is CPAP. The mask is attached to a machine that generates an air pressure and blows it into the person’s nasal passage at night and essentially splints their throat open so that they can breathe at night the way that they do during the day. The can maintain a deep sleep instead of constantly waking themselves up through the night. This form of treatment has been shown to bring many of the Cardiovascular Risk factors into the normal range. Weight loss is effective at decreasing sleep apnea. Some folks are able to shed enough weight that the extra tissue collected in their throats shrinks enough to remove the obstruction entirely. A smaller percentage

of the population can lose weight but their anatomy is such that their throat still closes off, Mandibular Advancement Devices or MADs are oral appliances, made by your dentist or sometimes available over the counter, that change the position of your bottom jaw in relation to your top jaw. It works very well for some with mild to moderate Sleep Apnea or snoring. Others find that they get jaw pain, or that their bite gets out of alignment. For more information on Sleep Apnea and treatments, to arrange a free talk for your special group or a free at-home sleep study, call Angela Cummings BSc, RRT at Sussex Sleep Clinic Inc., 434-7667. 0047

LISTEN IN by Jeﬀ Liberty LOCAL NEW POP STAR Last week I took a trip uptown to the funky candy shop the Freak Lunchbox to meet up and interview a newly christened Pop Star. The aforementioned rising star is no other than 17 year old Kyle McVea, a grade 12 student at Kennebecasis Valley High School. Kyle is the only East Coast member (the other members are all from the GTA) of the winning group Rebel Coast who were just crowned the winners of the YTV “The Next Star: Supergroup”! I first met and witnessed Kyle’s immense talents when he was a contestant and I was a judge for Saint John Idol a few years ago on the boardwalk. It just goes to show if you work hard and have raw talent anything is possible if you want it bad enough! Here is how our chat went down. Tell me about the whole experience? Kyle – Um, A lot of it didn’t really seem like it was all happening at the time. Most of it happened last summer.

It’s such a surreal feeling to talk about it now. It (winning!) hasn’t really sunk in. Jeff - Being in a boy band/SuperGroup is there any internal competition for popularity? Any clash of ego’s on the show with the other contestants? Kyle – “No, it’s been a pretty mutual experience for Rebel Coast. We are doing it all together is how everyone feels. I’m also pretty close friends with Electric Ave (runner up’s on the show). I talk to them all daily”. Jeff - You guys currently have only two songs/singles; “We are the Brave” and “Don’t Stop Now”. Are there plans for new recordings soon? Do you have a hand in the writing or are you just brought songs to record? Kyle – “Yes we have plans to record more. We are writing as well so we have our own input in the material along with other writers. I am very excited about our future. The Wall Street Journal just did an article on us”! (Read the article here online.wsj.com/article/PRCO-20140413-901398.html).

Building? When it comes to Lumber -We Deliver.

Kyle credits his family, friends and coaches for all their support saying, “Some friends even came to Toronto for support! It was a real tear fest” he laughs. “I couldn’t have done without them” he continues when referencing how the show’s vocal coach and dance choreographer, Sarah Morrison and Nico Archambault, helped him with his performance. It couldn’t have happened to a more talented and down to earth individual! For everything else on Rebel Coast -rebelcoastmusic.com. 0041

or the last few issues of your community magazine and on our facebook page we’ve been promoting our Mother’s Day Contest. It was a chance to tell us about your Mom, and to tell us a story about what makes her great and special to you. A number of you jumped at the oppurtunity to write to us about your Mothers. There was a common theme of Mothers who are self-sacrificing, loving, caring and kind. Each one exemplified Motherhood, some were funny, some were sorrowful, some were lighthearted and touching. We took the time to read through them all, some of them twice, and we’re genuinely touched by all the stories of caring Mothers. They exemplified why celebrating our Mothers, no matter what age we’ve grown to be, is important. Mothers are our first friend, the person we can always trust, the shoulder we can cry on, and someone who listens constantly

75 Consumers Don’t forget to celebrate your Mom throughout the year. without judgement or ridicule; with an open heart ready to share your sorrow and joy.

WALK-INS WELCOME!

am writing to say that my Mom is the most caring, hardworking woman I know. She is a giver to everyone and never puts herself ahead of others. She has worked at a seniors home for over 40 years. She has taken in other kids and adults even though she had her own 3 kids to care for. She did it out of the goodness of her heart. That’s just my Mom. She took time off work to care for us when we were small. When we were school aged she always made sure there was fresh bread and hot cinnamon rolls coming out of the oven when we got off the bus. She has had some pretty tough obstacles in her life too but always finds a way to get through it and was always so positive. At age 47 she lost her best friend. Her sister passed away at the age of 45 with cancer and our Dad had a serious car accident and later on had a farm accident and lost a limb. I wish I had her strength to carry on like she does. I think Mom well deserves to have someone else cook her dinner and have a night away to enjoy and maybe relax. She works full time and then comes home to clean for another 3 or 4 hours before hitting her pillow. There’s just so much I could write down on paper about how grateful I am to have a mother that I do. I’m blessed to have her. I hope my Mom has the best Mother’s Day. I love you Mom. Hugs and Kisses from your daughter Heather. XOXO ~ Heather N. Belleisle Creek, NB

5 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas 1. A Day at the Spa Give your Mom a day out the spa, make sure you include a manicure, a pedicure, a facial, and a massage to really treat your Mom to a nice day out. To make it extra-special make it a day trip for the both of you and go with her to the spa treat yourself too, whether you’re a mom yet or not. 2. Flowers Cut flowers are nice and really liven up a room with their fragrance and beauty. Ask the florists what they reccomend when picking out your flowers if you don’t know what your mom’s favourite is. Another great option is to buy potted indoor flowers that will stay

alive and bloom year after year, or an outdoor plant which your mom can plant and grow that will remind her of you. 3. Take Her to Dinner Take your mom out to dinner or a nice lunch, let her pick the restaurant, and spend some good quality time with her, stick around for dessert and coffee, and let your mom know you love her, she never gets tired of feeling loved by her children. 4. Write her a heartfelt letter It’s never too late to tell your mom how you feel with a nice letter, it may not cost money, but that won’t diminish the warmth it brings her if do it right.

Make it heartfelt and personal, cite specific examples that stick out in your mind. This actually gets easier to do as you get older; your penmanship gets better (hopefully) and you have more experiences to draw on. 5. Compile a Photo Album Taking photos has become commonplace and very easy, but how often do any of us actually get photos printed anymore? Take some time and explore your hard drives, look through old boxes of photos, and put together an album for your Mom of your best pictures from over the years. Be sure to include some pictures of yourself, her, family gatherings, and grandchildren.

WHY I RELAY I have so many reasons for joining the Sussex Relay for Life. I am a respiratory therapist and I have seen the effects of cancer first hand while working in the hospital. Patients and families suffer so much because of this disease. If I can do a little work volunteering to make this struggle easier for them, I am happy to do it. It may be me one day, or someone I love dearly. Many of my close relatives have been treated for different types of cancer, and

many have been treated successfully. They are such strong people and an inspiration and their lives have been changed forever because of cancer. I was fortunate enough to move back to Sussex a year and half ago with my own family; my husband and my 3 year old son, Oliver. Since joining the Relay for Life in Sussex this year, I have learned so much more about the benefits that we get right here in Sussex from the Canadian Cancer Society. I learned that new research and trials are going on that involve patients right in Sussex, although research done in every part

of the country helps to introduce new medications and treatments. I learned that they are advocating for catastrophic drug coverage, which could be used if you were not covered for medication under another health plan or you did not have coverage at all. The Canadian Cancer Society is currently working on bans for tanning beds for people under 19 years old. I was surprised to find out that prevention is a big part of the Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. I had previously thought that smoking cessation, research and financial assistance for travel were the biggest part of their mandate. Not so. Right here in Sussex they offer SunSense; a program offered to all elementary schools for children in grades 1-3 to teach them about protecting themselves against harmful UV rays. They have also offered Eat Well, Be Active; a free six-week program to teach people about healthy balanced living. But my number one reason for joining the Relay is for my son and my husband. Before I had my son, I struggled with obesity and living a sedentary life. These are both factors that increased my risk for developing cancer. After I had Oliver, I knew I had to change so my husband and I could raise this little boy together. I wanted to be a good example for him and to show him that healthy living was normal. I got a lap-band 2.5 years ago and started working out a year after that. Now at three years old he knows that exercise is something we do every day. The Relay is the perfect way to show Oliver that we need to help each other, and help ourselves for the future. 2578

I was having a conversation with Greg Daggett, about the future and how we want to operate this business. That applies to both Kredl's and Dave's Produce Packs, I told him that my ultimate goal is to put myself out of business. I would have no trouble finding other ways to provide for myself. Before my incredible staff disown me for that last sentence, let me tell you where I am going with this. My goal is to hopefully inspire people to grow their own food. By educating our community about the importance of having your food source close to home, the reliance on other food sources should diminish. If everyone could just grow their own food or even some of it, I could relax and take a few days off ;). So how can you grow your own food? If you have even a small piece of ground that gets a respectable amount of sunlight, you first need to rip up the lawn. If you don't have that, community gardens are everywhere, so go rent a plot. It is always a good idea to scoop some dirt from all corners and the centre of the plot and take it to the co-op for a soil test. If you can't be bothered, just buy compost or well-rotted manure and mix it into the topsoil. If there isn't much, buy some top soil too. Your best value is to use a truck and buy it by the tractor scoop. You also need to add lime, which sweetens the soil and raises your PH. The ideal PH for most vegetables is between 6.5 and 7. It is an exponential scale, so 5.8 won’t do. Adding 15 pounds of lime for every 100 square feet would be a good rule of thumb. Lime takes at least six months to activate, so don't be disappointed if your first year isn't phenomenal. If your soil is really sandy, it doesn't hurt to add peat moss, but peat moss is acidic, which lowers your PH, so if you add any, add more lime too. You cannot over-lime. I strongly encourage you to avoid chemical fertilizer, which is NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Compost is a great source of nitrogen. I also recommend pelleted chicken manure, any other well-composted manure and worm castings. These can also be applied by top-dressing or making a manure tea and pouring it around your

plants. Phosphorus can be fed to your plants in the form of rock phosphate, bone meal, fish meal and wood ash from your fireplace or stove. Potassium can be accessed from K-Mag (can be bought at co-op), wood ash, greensand (I can get) and seaweed meal, which you can make yourself. Once you have concocted this harmony of dirt, you need to add to it each year and/or test your soil and just

Alzheimer's Disease & Other Dementias

Dementia is a term that generally refers to a variety of brain disorders. Different physical changes to the brain cause different dementias. Some are reversible, meaning that they can be treated and cured; while others are irreversible, meaning there is no cure. Symptoms worsen over time and include: loss of memory, changes in judgment and reasoning, difficulty performing familiar tasks, problems with language and changes in mood and behaviour. Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for almost two-thirds of all cases. It is irreversible and eventually fatal. Other dementias include vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia (including Pick’s disease), Crutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Lewy body dementia. Dementia is not a normal part of aging, but age is the biggest risk factor.

What the Numbers Say

In 2011, 747,000 Canadians were living with dementia and this number will increase to 1.4 million by 2031. Today, the combined direct (medical) and indirect (lost earnings) cost of dementia in Canada is 33 billion. This number will skyrocket to $293 billion a year by 2040. In 2011, family caregivers spent 444 million unpaid hours a year looking after someone with dementia. This represents $11 billion in lost income and 227,760 full-time jobs. By 2040, caregivers will be devoting 1.2 billion unpaid hours per year. For more information, please visit www.alzheimer.ca.

ASK THE CHEF FIDDLEHEADS Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to a great question while we are still waiting for spring to begin. Every spring, New Brunswickers wait for the harvest of fiddleheads. Fiddleheads are an edible fern that grow along river beds and are found all along the Saint John River Valley. These ferns are picked before they open. Once they open, they are no longer edible and this is why the season is so short. Fiddleheads are a great antioxidant and are high in fatty acids, omega 3, omega 6 and are high in iron. Fiddleheads get their name from the shape’s resemblance to head of string instruments. Cooking fiddleheads properly is very important as they can make you sick if done incorrectly. Because fiddleheads are a fern, they act as an air filter and collect toxins from the air. It is suggested that we not only boil fiddleheads once, but twice with new water. The best way to do this is to blanch your fiddleheads. This is 82 Marr Rd. Rothesay 849-4040

the process of boiling them until almost cooked, then plunging them into ice water. This will stop the cooking process, preserve the vitamins and keeping the bright green colour. To finish them, bring new water to a boil, add your blanched fiddleheads and bring them back to a boil for about a minute. Blanching your fiddleheads prior to freezing is the best way to preserve them so you can enjoy them all year round. As New Brunswickers, the most popular way to enjoy fiddleheads is to boil them, toss them in butter, salt and pepper. Here are a few other ways to enjoy them. I like to take the blanched fiddleheads and make a salad with them. Toss your fiddleheads with onions, shredded carrots, tomatoes and cucumber with an oil based dressing like Italian to create a great starter to your meal. As a vegetable, I like to take my blanched Fiddleheads and sauté them in a pan with diced onions, chopped bacon and a strong vinegar. The last way I will suggest is to make a Fiddleheads chowder. Add your Fiddleheads to a vegetable stock with onions, celery and diced potatoes.

Thicken with a roux and add heavy cream. Finish it off with some seasoning and maybe something something else to make it your own: diced chicken, diced ham, a different vegetable like parsnips or turnips. Every year at this time I like to use Fiddleheads as much as possible at Holly’s. This is one of New Brunswick’s greatest products and we will be trying to incorporate them as much as possible on our different buffets and as vegetable of the day. Stop by to see some different ways we are using them and if you have a recipe you enjoy, let us know. We are always looking for new ways to enjoy this New Brunswick treasure. 0040

SUSSEX TOASTMASTERS An Activity That Improves Your Leadership And Public Speaking Skills: try something new this season and visit Sussex Toastmasters, a club where

you “learn-by-doing” and where men and women hone their leadership and speaking skills in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. There is no instructor in a toastmasters club; instead, members conduct the meetings. A typical meeting is broken into three areas: 1. Prepared speeches, where members work in a communication program manual that has a series of 10 speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. 2. Evaluations, which are the cornerstone of Toastmasters and afford the speaker immediate feedback on what members liked and identifies areas for improvement. 3. Impromptu talks or “thinking on your feet” where a member responds to various topics. Toastmaster members have the opportunity to serve as officers in various leadership roles and learn parliamentary procedure. Best of all, in Toastmasters, you can go at your own pace. Meetings are held every other Wednesday evening at 7:00pm at the Sussex Middle School library.
