The Sussex Herald

Because of previous Ravings about fracking and the horrible “Forestry Agreement” some of you may suspect that I am somehow against resource extraction or extensive use of our other natural resources. But that really isn’t true at all. What I am against is HOW we are managing our resource development as “we are getting only the low hanging fruit and leaving a whole lot unpicked”. Take fracking, as an example. The companies working on fracking are not local, the profits won’t stay local, the technology used is not local and probably only the more basic jobs will be available locally. So after many years of success in creating jobs and money, the wells will literally go dry. So the companies leave, and what have we created in the long run?? Are we leaders in fracking technology, do we have a highly skilled workforce that can move into other endeavours. If indeed, there is any environmental damage, major or minor, who gets to live with it. You’re right, us!! Take forestry for example, the bigger operators climb into their harvesters worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, most likely built in Sweden or Japan, while the small operators fire up their Swedish or Japanese chainsaws and while we make hundreds of dollars these foreign companies are making thousands, selling complex equipment worldwide. While we have skilled operators, they have engineers and other highly skilled jobs that are paying

much higher wages. New Brunswick has been exporting our resources for over 200 years. Our forests now contain roughly half of the wood volume that they once contained. So where is our prosperity from the resources we have extracted?? It costs you, the New Brunswick taxpayer, millions of dollars to give away our forests, while some experts have suggested we should be bringing in around $240 million from our forests!! So when do you think that we are going to get smart and insist on value from our resources. “Over half the world’s supply of American lobster, Homarus americanus, comes from the clear, cold waters of Atlantic Canada.” (see more at: http://atlanticcanadaexports.ca). In exchange, our fisherpeople get $4 or $5 per pound and a New York restaurant might get $30 per pound. We need to insist that raw products should not leave our province. Only finished products should be our goal. It is only when we are world class at adding value to the resources we have that we can even dream of being rich. Straight extraction and export of raw product will only help us be just a little less poor!!! 0001

I belong to Operation Legacy, which is made up of members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and is dedicated to teaching the younger generation about Canada’s military heritage. Remembrance Day is special to me and to Champs across the country, as The War Amps was started by veterans who returned from the First World War missing limbs. They were there to support each other and then passed on their knowledge to amputee veterans returning from the Second World War. They then created the CHAMP Program to assist child amputees like me. Today, CHAMP provides financial assistance for artificial limbs and regional seminars where we can share concerns and advice. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to carry on the torch of remembrance and help ensure the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten. For many years, I have laid a wreath on behalf of Operation Legacy on

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton WHAT’S IN YOUR CHILI Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with an answer to your question. This week we had a great debate about the origins of chili and what is a true chili. Does chili contain beans and what kind? Some say that ever since the first person added chili peppers to a stew, chili was born. So is that what makes chili? Some say yes, others say no. History of chili takes us back to the early 19th century on the border between Texas and Mexico. Chuck wagon cooks on cattle drives would make a concoction of meat and vegetables to serve. Problem at that time was no refrigeration. Meat was transported in the heat, bacteria would grow and the meat would become rancid. They would hide the taste with spices. Cooking the stew for a long time with the high acidity of tomatoes would kill the bacteria to a safe enough level. Before refrigeration this was a common practice in many parts of the world. Chili recipes really depend on location;

recipes can be found mainly in Central America and as high as up Kansas. The recipe you have will determine the ingredients and this is where the beans or no beans debate happens. Whether chili comes with garbanzo beans, kidney beans, navy beans or no beans is a regional preference. Here one chili recipe example. The chili peppers are in the chili powder, but it shows how easy it is to change up ingredients to achieve your favourite chili. 1 lb meat (course ground chuck or chopped stew meat are preferable to hamburger. Leftover pot roast also works well. Wild meats such as venison, boar, or even rattlesnake make an interesting and tasty alternative). ½ c finely chopped onion (I prefer yellow onions). ¼ c finely chopped jalapenos. 1 clove minced garlic. 1 Tbsp good quality chili powder (more/ less depending on your taste). 1 tsp cumin. ½ tsp salt.

½ tsp dried cilantro. ½ tsp rosemary. 1 15 oz can tomato sauce (I prefer to use just a little less than a full can). ½ c beef broth. ½ c port wine (alcoholic beverages help cut the bite of hot peppers, and add nice flavoring. Red wine, beer, tequila, and bourbon add distinctive touches. I prefer port for its rich sweetness). Chili is one of those great culinary delights which comes with so many opinions that everyone who makes it, believes they make the best. This conversation has made me think a lot about chili. So much that this month we will be launching a new winter menu at Holly’s and chili will be one of the new items. Great thing about chili? You can add it to whatever you want! 0040

PLANNING FOR A MERRY HOLIDAY SEASON

sk anyone when men go Christmas shopping, and they’ll most likely tell you that they Christmas shop on Christmas Eve, or maybe the day before that, if they start early. No doubt for some men, this may be true. Maybe it’s the thrill of the lastminute chase, or the hope to get

a great deal and peel off the prices. Others start so early you wanna scratch your head and wonder what they’re doing. We all know that one person who starts squirreling away Christmas presents for next year while February’s snow is falling and New Year’s resolutions are being forgotten and discarded

seems like Christmas is still a few months away, when you take away all the time spent working, looking after home and family, it quickly telescopes down into a short period of available time to get out and accomplish all of that extra shopping. But there are a few things that anyone can do to shop more quickly and efficiently. Even Santa makes a list, and he has all year and a cluster of elves to help out. Lists have never been easier, and have never been more handy. Gone are the days of rifling through pockets for crumpled lists that are lost in another pair of jeans most likely in a laundry pile destined for the washing machine. No more do we have to worry about losing an important list hidden in a plethora of unimportant receipts,

this holiday season, write that down on your list, better yet, type it. Looking for gift ideas, just put a pin in it. You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes, or even his debonair sidekick, to be a holiday sleuth nowadays. People will gladly show you exactly what they’ve had their eye on since forever ago, but never actually picked it up. Facebook and twitter may both be chocked full of holiday gift ideas for that special someone, but the motherlode of holiday tips will almost

certainly be found on Pinterest. This is provided of course that your friends have been nice enough to pin everything they like. Ditch the magnifying glass you super-sleuth and hop on your computer. Can you imagine how easy it would have been years ago if everyone just clipped everything they wanted out of the catalogue and mailed it off to their closest friends. I’m fairly certain children still do this; perhaps that’s why Santa has it so easy. There are good ways to stay on budget and there are

not-quite-so-good ways to keep on top of it. Some might have no problem buying a shirt and tie set and hanging onto the tie until Valentine’s (make sure it’s a red tie). There may be a few who have no qualms buying a lovely two pack of candles and dividing them between their favourite Aunts, at least it’s equal, right? And, there are others who are bargain hunters, and why not? With the cost of living it can be hard to stay on budget if we’re not smart shoppers, hunt down the good deals, wait for a sale, shop around and visit multiple stores. It may take more time, but you’re more likely to save money. You will have to decide which one you would rather have more of. Don’t wait too long, it’s already half way past November and December is set to strike any day now.

this are found in the small shops, the locally owned specialty shops which carry unique, one-of-akind items. Big box stores can be great for big box items, but when you have to move one hundred or more of the same items, risk taking falls by the wayside. The strange & unique can get traded for the hot commodities. You never know what treasures you’ll find in unexpected places. Check out some antique shops as well, it’s only an already used gift until it’s old, much loved, and ready for a new home, then it’s an antique. However you shop, whether it’s a marathon, a sprint, or an obstacle course we wish you all the best this Holiday season; big smiles, warm hearts, and many gatherings with close friends and family.

LISTEN IN by Jeﬀ liberty I WANT MY CBC I’ve always loved the CBC and I have the pleasure of being on the CBC’s Information Morning as their music columnist (Take Liberty) bi-weekly here in Saint John with one of my own personal heroes, the Host and Westsider, Hance Colburne. Here is my e-chat with the sharp dressed Hance Colburne about how he got into broadcasting and what some of his favorite songs are. JL - When did you first know you wanted to be a broadcaster? Hance - I was one of those weird kids who were 5, walking around with a tape deck and a microphone. I wanted to be a ghost hunter/on-the-scene reporter - Scooby Doo meets Matthew Halton. I loved talking into a mic, but was terrified of speaking in public. Still kind of am. I realized I wanted to be a broadcast journalist early in my career. I wanted the ability to be creative while also making a difference in the community I lived in, and

I saw that on the journalism side of the business. JL - Who are some of your heroes in the broadcasting field? Hance - It's easy to refer to the biggest names in the industry as influences, but for me, that would be disingenuous. Its local news that shaped my career aspirations the most. This was a time when the local radio station told us when buses were late and schools were cancelled Supper hour newscasts were a place my family would gravitate to... even the kitchen table couldn't always provide that communal place. So I was a fan of Jim Nunn on CBC Halifax. Bruce Graham on ATV. On radio it was CBC's Don Connolly. I had the privilege of working with both Jim and Don during my career. JL - What do you love most about being the host of Information Morning in Saint John? Hance - It's the opportunity to speak to so many people about so many different things. I get to learn more about our community than I ever could in any other job. It really is a privilege.

JL - Where do you see your career in the next 10 years? Hance - While the hours are tough, starting people's days with the right combination of news and information to get them up to speed is a job still needed. Radio is as intimate as it ever was, and that's why I love to listen. I hope the audience feels the same way. If there is morning radio in 10 years, I'd like to think I'll be coherent and awake enough to be on it. JL - What are your top 5 favorite songs? (Name artist as well as the song). Hance - My picks are: Frank Sinatra, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning; The Beach Boys, Wouldn't It Be Nice; Blue Rodeo, Bad Timing; Harry Connick Jr., We Make A Lot of Love; Garth Brooks, Callin' Baton Rouge. 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists

JENNY:

Is a petite (in other words, as long as she is wide) mediumhaired dark tabby with a bushy tail, tufted ears and lovely green eyes. She arrived at the Sanctuary on the 30th of June at the age of six months. In poor shape when rescued - dull coat, thin, full of parasites and very little hair on her tail - she now looks absolutely lovely. Bright eyed, full of confidence, acts like a little princess as she prances around reminding you she loves attention. Let’s not forget that she also loves to play. Jenny is ready for a permanent home. Please contact the Sanctuary if you are interested in adopting her.

CONSERVATION INSTRUCTOR AWARDS Delbert Munroe of Penobsquis and Jeremy MacNeill of Four Falls are New Brunswick's 2014 Conservation Education Instructors of the Year. Natural Resources Minister Denis Landry recently presented them with commemorative watches, International Hunter Education Association prints and certificates of appreciation. “I congratulate these two outstanding individuals for their dedication to hunter education,” said Landry. “Every year, many New Brunswickers throughout the province benefit from these excellent programs which make hunting safer. The thousands of people who have taken the course speak to its success.” Munroe was recognized as the volunteer instructor of the year. He has been active in the Firearms Safety/ Hunter Education Program for more than 20 years and has taught more than 1,000 students. He is certified as both a hunter education and firearms safety instructor.

MacNeill is the Department of Natural Resources' Instructor of the Year. A resource officer with the department's district office in Florenceville-Bristol, MacNeill has been a conservation education instructor since 2004 and has taught almost 500 students. He is a certified hunter education and firearms' safety instructor. Firearm Safety/Hunter Education courses teach students how to handle and use firearms in a safe and responsible manner. Students learn how to minimize the risk of hypothermia while hunting, what to do if lost and basic first-aid techniques. The courses also cover hunter ethics, basic field techniques, wildlife identification and the role of hunting with respect to wildlife management. Since the inception of hunter education in 1952, more than 90,000 New Brunswickers have completed this program. Information about firearm safety and hunter education is available online. 3225

POINT OF VIEW PHOTOGRAPHY FULL CIRCLE Even though it's considered obsolete, vintage even, by technology standards, I don't have the heart to throw it away. When I received it as a graduation gift from my parents, I had no idea it would be the start of my lifelong love of photography. It was a Pentax K1000 35mm film camera – shiny, new and all mine! When I started college a short time later, my trusty camera went with me. Over the next two years, I learned the importance of aperture, ISO and shutter speed. I'm pretty sure every tree, building, flower and student within a two mile radius of that campus was photographed at one time or another. There was no “auto” anything then – everything was done manually. From loading the film to focusing and proper exposure, there were no shortcuts. I loved the challenge of developing film,

by diane mcmillan

making prints and looking for the next unlikely subject. Then, life happened. Pentax was right there with me for several more years, as I worked days, nights and weekends, shooting everything from basketball games and school concerts to grip and grin cheque presentations and hockey. It survived freezing temperatures, snow storms, pouring rain and being dropped (more than once). When digital technology took over, I upgraded to a Nikon Coolpix 990. Did I mention I still have that historic gem too? Somewhere along the way, though, photography stopped being fun for me. So, I tucked my cameras away for a long time. Then, in 2011, an award and substantial cash prize from my former employer changed all that. The instant I received this unexpected gift, I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on – a new camera. My Canon would be a huge step up from that film camera and 3.2 megapixel digital with 4x digital zoom.. When I picked up my new “baby” for

the first time, it was love at first sight. And, well, she's been with me ever since. I don't leave home without her and she's helped me get back into and truly enjoy photography again. These days, though, I have traded in cold rinks and concerts for time spent with families, babies, graduates and newlyweds. My passion for photography has come full circle, and I'm grateful that I'm back to doing what I love the most – capturing milestones and special moments for people. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

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. Patients can register for upcoming workshop by calling Katie McRae at 648-6885

MUSINGS by debbie hickey WHAT’S IN A NAME A few days ago I had a conversation with my 8 year old granddaughter on nicknames. This was sparked because her mother has several friends with names that do not seem to derive from their given names. Some nicknames are fairly obvious, whether from a physical trait (Red) or a personality trait (Sunny), but many are mysteries known only to a few. Mine for instance. For a number of years in my teens and 20’s I was “Jo”. Absolutely nothing to do with my given name, not even a middle name, but there is of course a story as to how I became Jo. I was never particularly interested in learning to cook or bake as a kid. Much rather be outdoors or curled up with a book than working in the kitchen.

(Actually in our old farmhouse it would be in the pantry that the work took place, but we won’t quibble on the details.) Anyway, at some point in my mid/late teens my mother was not home and I decided to make apple turnovers, without having any clue that pastry was often a challenge for accomplished cooks let alone a total novice. The pastry looked fine, but was a mite (okay more than a mite) tough. My brother and boyfriend promptly christened it Debbie-Dough and had plans to use it to retread tires. So I became DebbieDough (Debbie-Do), later Debbie-Jo and eventually just Jo. I did eventually tackle pastry again, but not for many years (I was always more interested in the eating than the preparing). When my mother (who is a GREAT cook) asked me for my pastry recipe I knew I was finally there! And

a few years ago when my mother-inlaw (bless her heart) chastised her son (the infamous Mikie) for criticizing my Rhubarb-Custard Pie (a Hickey family recipe), even Michael admitted I made a pretty decent pie. The secret is that I finally found a recipe that worked for me every time, one that uses lard rather than shortening. I will post it to our website for anyone who wants to give it a try. “Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.” ~ Jim Davis. 0002
