On Our Cover Fresh Picked Apples
From Dictionary.com: adjective 1. having or showing well-bred feeling, taste, etc.: refined people; 2.freed or free from coarseness, vulgarity, etc.: refined taste. 3.freed from impurities: refined sugar. 4.very subtle, precise, or exact: refined distinctions. Debbie and I were recently in conversation with a professional lady, who during our conversation turned to me and said “You’re so refined.” Both of us, of course, nearly fell over laughing, and it has been a great source of laughs since, such as: “My refined person does not take out the garbage. Should you wish to have household waste products transported, I shall condescend to carry out such a menial task.” I later, suggested to Debbie my theory on how I get labelled as refined while she, in much fancier dress, does not: “Dress a notch above homeless and saying anything half ways intelligent will shock the heck out of them.” That particular day I was wearing well worn black jeans and a maybe eight-year old “Hampton River Runners 5 Mile” t-shirt, unlaced sneakers and likely gray work socks. So my theory is “dress for success”!! Dress to the nines and you are sure not to shine. Dress in distress, and you will impress!! Definition 3 for refined - “freed from impurities” certainly doesn’t
work well for me since I am a well known “dirtbag” and just loaded with impurities!! (see last Ravings) Now, another possible explanation, is that while dressed crudely, my language usage is seldom crude. I am a firm believer that my wish to use four letter words is not as important as someone else's wish to not hear them. I was especially worried during my younger years, around my mother, after a day out collecting garbage. Fortunately, I survived five summers and never screwed up even once. Unfortunately, I would argue that many today still use dress to assess someone’s degree of crudeness or refinement. But, I would urge you to scratch the surface and find the real person living in those clothes. And don’t be surprised if a refined appearance is hiding a crude and vulgar person. And I, refined to the hilt, am hiding out as a dirtbag. 0002

SUSSEX CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GOLF UPDATE
Tournament winning team Thank you to all of our hole sponsors and businesses that donated prizes to make this a successful event. The pig roast was wonderful and even though it started raining before the day was over it did not dampen people’s spirits. The winning team for this year was Sussex Farm Supplies – Chris & Brad Bettle, Jim Gerrish and Charles Gaudet. Winner of the draw for $600 of advertising from the
hole sponsors was Dwayne Armstrong of T.L. Armstrong & Sons Ltd. Even though there were no hole in ones, the vehicle went back to Downey Ford and the presser washer donated by Easy Kleen will have tickets sold on it at different events and will be drawn at our Awards Banquet on November 8. Prizes were given out for the longest hole and closest to the pin as well, and names were drawn for the rest of the prizes. We borrowed the Head & Tails game from the Rotary Club and had some laughs playing it; the winner of the suite at the Amsterdam Inn was Rodney Shirley. Pictures from the event are on Facebook Sussex & District Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to Angie Cummings and Ivan Graham for keeping things in order and all the volunteers who helped make this an enjoyable event! Mark your calendars for our next Chamber meeting October 5, 12:00noon at the Fairway Inn with guest speaker John Flyn, CBDC and the Potash Small Business Funding. Our awards banquet is going to have a different look and will be on November 8, at the Royal Canadian Legion. More information will be coming out on the criteria for awards shortly. 4248

ASK THE CHEF BRING ON THE CHOWDER Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. For the longest time, I was always under the belief that a chowder was a soup made with chunks of potatoes; a hearty stew like soup made in one pot. I was wrong. I did a little research and this is what I found out about chowder. Chowder is a traditional maritime soup which has evolved over the years, usually consisting of seafood and vegetables (including potatoes) in a rich and creamy broth, thickened with crackers or a roux (equal parts melted butter and flour). It was made in one pot and you could feed many. Manhattan chowder, on the other hand, is made with a tomato base with no thickening agent. It is true that all chowders should have potatoes but this comes from the fact that potatoes were a staple in our diets and continue to be today. Now from seafood chowder, we started
making other chowders. Fish chowder, mushroom chowder, vegetable chowder and most famous, corn chowder. Corn chowder was often served during the harvest, to feed the workers as they tried to get the harvest in. Always having a big crowd, this made for easy preparation and serving. So how easy is it to make chowder? All you need is a pot. To make creamy chowder start with your favourite fish; the less oily the better. If you add salmon to your chowder, that flavour will dominate the rest of it. Great if you love salmon but not if you want all the different flavours coming through. So in a large pot add chunks of onion, large diced potatoes and any other vegetables you would like or have on hand. Sweat these off and this will add to your flavour. Place your seafood and cover until seafood is cooked. Do not stir because your fish will break apart. Add enough fish stock to cover the ingredients in the pot and season to your taste. Bring
to a light boil and add a roux to thicken. Add 35% cream to balance off how thick your chowder has become. You should use heavy cream, so your chowder does not break or split. Allow to simmer for at least 30 minutes and serve. Once you get this down, you can now play with your recipe by adding white wine, different herbs like tarragon, chopped garlic, or anything that you think would be good. That is the beauty of cooking, it becomes yours once you have a good base. Edited for space, see full article at: ossekeag. ca. 0040

SELF ESTEEM STRESS WITHOUT DISTRESS The relationship between self esteem and stress management is a close one. If you handle stress poorly, the damage to your self esteem can be extensive. The impact of any stressful event is influenced by how we cope with it. Coping pertains to thoughts, feelings or behaviours that are used to manage stress. Self esteem, or the amount of value we place upon ourselves, can influence how we cope with stressful situations. Self esteem does not predict the frequency of stressful experiences or stressful thoughts. However, if you have lower self esteem, you most likely experience a greater level of stress. You are way too hard on yourself. You get frustrated for not being able to control your reactions better… which in the end only makes you and your situation much, much worse. Focusing on external stresses leaves no room for inner growth. Inner development is imperative for healthy self
esteem. It leads to peace and happiness. Choose to be controlled by stress and you are doomed! So, how do you lighten up? Control your stress level? Become more at peace? *Manage yourself: Create pleasantness or unpleasantness. It is often our inability to manage ourselves that gets us into trouble. Assume control over your own being and watch as you begin to cope better. *Gain Perspective: Others look so happy. Does that mean they are doing something differently than you? The quality of your life does not depend on how simple or complex it is; it depends on how you look at it. These happy people are looking at the positive side and so can you. *Transform the Inner You: The quality of your life is not measured by the clothes you wear or the bank balance you have. Instead, it depends on how peaceful and content you are inside. *Don’t Lose Perspective: Stress is a natural by-product when we lose perspective of what life is all about. We may be having a pretty good day, but just one wrong
thought or emotion destroys everything. Do not let a bad moment turn into a bad day. *Mind Your Thoughts: Our minds have become society’s trash can. You have a choice about what to take and what to discard. Throw negativity as far away as possible. *Get Your Mind to Relax: Various factors affect our day. How did you sleep last night? What activities are on your agenda? Our level of relaxation can make all the difference. Being relaxed will help us think clearly and cope well. A bit of stress is necessary. It motivates us. How you choose to deal with stress determines if you make a heaven or hell out of yourself. 0027

We thank God for the wonderful 60 years of marriage we have had. Special thanks to our family and friends for thinking of us on our special day September 1st with gifts, cards, visits and phone calls. We can’t thank enough our daughter, Cathy and her husband Buzz; son-in-law Geoff and our grandchildren who worked together with Cindy’s love and guidance; even though Cindy died in January of this year she was planning with Cathy, while she was ill, for our special day. Cathy made “60” bags containing memories that we will always cherish in our hearts. Family and friends mean so much to both of us especially as we grow older.
With love Ron & Audrey October 4th - October 17th, 2016

Once you have dealt with potential safety items, checking for gaps that allow air infiltration is a good way to both stay warm and save money. Seal any gaps and cracks around windows and doors with weatherstripping and caulking. Don’t forget to check for drafts around electrical outlets, cable and phone entrances and plumbing. Seal any gaps with caulking. Once the windows are sealed, switching out summer sheers for heavier drapes in warm colours can both add real warmth plus help create a warm ambiance.

Pt. II transform your living space quickly and easily. For bigger impact, interior painting is by far the easiest way to freshen up your home and fall is a great time to do it, while it is still warm enough to open the windows. A tip from the pros - if at the end of the day you haven’t finished the project you don’t have to go through the laborious process of cleaning your paintbrushes and paint-roller. Brush or roll off the excess paint, then tightly wrap in plastic food wrap and place the wrapped brushes and rollers in the fridge to keep them fresh. The next day (or even several days later), simply remove from the fridge 30 minutes before painting, and you will be ready to go. All done? Great. Invite some
friends or family over, open a bottle of wine and catch up on the news. After all, isn’t that the whole point of making your house a home?

FAMILY MATTERS TRANSITIONING TO PARENTHOOD The transition to parenthood is often very exciting but all the wealth of information out there makes it overwhelming for expecting parents. There are some general guidelines soon-to-be parents can follow to make the transition to parenthood smoother. Expecting parents can feel RESTed UP with these thoughts. R - reprioritize. Before baby is born reprioritize your expectations. High expectations can create more anxiety and frustration so focus on what is absolutely necessary. Strategize ahead of time on how you will manage the everyday stuff like laundry, cleaning, sleep and time for self. Keep your list small and avoid making parenting a goal-oriented project. E - eye out for depression. Many women - and many men - experience some degree of post-partum blues so be ready for it. Partners, watch out for symptoms and get professional help if the symptoms threaten parental functioning and infant
well-being. Remember to be easy on yourself - postpartum recovery takes time. S - support. One of the hardest parts of parenthood is that it is a 24/7 service that brings with it physical and emotional discomfort. Find some tools before your baby is born to help calm and support you when your nerves feel fried. Make a list of people you know you can count on to help. Giving up on doing everything yourself is one of the healthiest (and sometimes most difficult) things to do. Accepting support is incredibly beneficial, but you have to be pro-active about asking. Family, friends, breathing, date night and grounding practices are helpful in getting you through the transition. T- trust yourself. As new and absolutely overwhelming as this experience can be, trust yourself. Parenting books and websites can be useful in giving you pointers, but ultimately it’s your own wise and loving heart that will guide you in doing what is right. U - use humor. Make light of your own parenting experiences and avoid taking
yourself too seriously by doing your best to find humor through the exhaustion. Acknowledge every moment – good and frustrating – as natural and normal. P - perspective. Wouldn't it be great if infants came with instruction books? Recognize that your parenting journey will be 100% unique and the randomness of your baby. Allow for unpredictability in your daily routine and accept that you won’t always get things right. Embrace the transition and set realistic plans about getting out, self-care, sleep, household chores and cooking. This week find your own way to transition into parenthood and enjoy the journey. 0006

GONE FISHING TIME TO CATCH A DINOSAUR! Now that we are officially into the Fall season, leaves begin to change, days get shorter, temperatures cool down, and the fishing heats up! Here in our backyard on the Kennebecasis River, the sturgeon fishing season is just beginning and it may be one of the most unique and exciting experiences you’ll find on the water anywhere! For me, I love targeting shortnose sturgeon in the Fall. From around the beginning of October on through till the river freezes over, the fishing for sturgeon will get better and better. By the middle of November one could catch 15 or more sturgeon in a day averaging over two and a half feet in length! Where else can one go to experience such amazing fishing? Well, for sturgeon, there is nowhere else you can go on the east coast of North America for this experience. Throughout the US sturgeon are an endangered species and fishing for them is not permitted. While other areas in Canada do have

The Sussex Herald
fishing for different species of sturgeon (the White Sturgeon of the Fraser River), we have the only population of shortnose in the world for which there is an open recreational fishery! Unlike with most lakes, ponds or rivers where the fishing season ended on September 15, the lower Kennebecasis River, nearly up to Bloomfield is tidal water. Here you can fish all year long with no fishing license required if you are doing catch and release fishing. If you are looking to keep any fish, be sure to be aware of the size and limit regulations! One important rule many may not be aware of is that in tidal waters, you do require a provincial fishing license to keep any sport fish. If you want to catch yourself a dinosaur (sturgeon have been around for millions of years), be prepared to release it again. In order to retain a sturgeon, it has to be 120 cm, which means a fish that is over 50 years old. Only the very oldest in the
population would reach this length and they are hard to find, so 99.5% of sturgeon caught are released again, after taking a picture to keep the memory of course! To fish for sturgeon, just load up a strong hook with nightcrawlers, use a weight to get it to the bottom and let it sit there. Sturgeon are bottom feeders and will eat the worm off the floor of the river. If you, or someone you know, would like to give it a try and isn’t sure where to start, feel free to contact me to book a time and I’ll take you out! 0034

IN THE GARDEN GARDENING AND HOPE Gardening is a profession of hope. ~Brian Brett. At this time of year that quote is especially significant as most gardeners are engaged in planting bulbs for spring flowering; confident that despite howling gales, thaw and freeze, depths of snow and sub zero temperatures, these beauties will rise from their drab dead looking bodies and provide the most welcome of sights as we emerge from the challenges of winter weather. All of the Narcissus family are rejected by deer; nearly all of the others are choice picks on their menu. The general rule of thumb is to plant bulbs at a depth that is three times the height of the bulb and there are plenty of devices that make planting a breeze if the ground is relatively free of rocks. The most satisfactory method, and one that is most pleasing to the eye come spring, is to thoroughly dig a circle about three feet in diameter, picking out the rocks and largest stones; a good mixture of compost, manure and bone meal can be dug into this circle and five bulbs placed in a cross formation about ten inches apart within the prepared ground. This leaves plenty of room for the expansion that will happen over the next few years; the cross formation is a wonderful reminder of the Resurrection‌ surely, the dramatic emergence of the gifts of the garden is miraculous! All of this planting is best done before the end of October, earlier is best as it gives an opportunity for some root system to be established before freeze up. Many folk cover their perennial plants with fir boughs etc., any covering should
not be done until the ground is well frozen, then the covering will keep the ground frozen until spring. Thawing out during winter is not an ideal situation, the covering is supposed to protect the ground from just that. Fall is a grand time to clear the flower beds of weeds and to cut back perennials to about six inches, though many like to leave all the foliage on, doing so provides a very cozy home to over wintering pests; removing all dead leaves and cleaning up is a great preventive measure against pest infestation next year. A light covering with good compost will protect German Iris from severe winter damage, though you have to hop to it early in the spring to partially uncover the rhizomes before they suffer from rot. This is my last column for the year and as Thanksgiving will shortly be upon us I would like to express my thanks to... the Community Gardeners for their generous donations of fresh food to the Food Basket; to the Hampton Herald for their willingness to provide a wonderful means of communication within our communities and to God for all the blessings that we enjoy. Blessings. 0045

“BI-CENTENNIAL” QUILT DONATED On the opening day of the Sussex Vale Quilters’ Guild Quilt Show on September 22 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Sussex, Mrs. Shelia McQueen presented her “BiCentennial Quilt” to Mrs. Connie Synder, who accepted it on behalf of the Penobsquis Community Centre. The quilt was made by quilters of the Penobsquis Women’s Institute in 1984 in recognition of New Brunswick’s BiCentennial year. The center area contains an outline of the province showing the 15 counties, surrounded by a broad red border with “New Brunswick” quilted in the top portion, “Bi-Centennial” in the bottom, and 1784 and 1984 on the left and right sides respectively. Surrounding this are 16 quilted emblems reflecting the history and culture of the province, ie. violets, fiddleheads, a lighthouse, the mill at Kings Landing, a church, etc. Shelia said the church emblem was especially meaningful to her as she and Jimmy were married at the Penobsquis Church. The entire quilt was finished with a red border and “prairie points” added. ‘Being a Penobsquis girl,’ Shelia said the day she discovered the “artistic quilt” was
to be sold, she bought it with no hesitation. She said she had enjoyed it for many years and had now decided to donate it to the Penobsquis Community Centre. Shelia is a member of the Sussex Vale Quilters’ Guild. As a point of interest, Connie Synder’s mother, Grace Dunfield, now 96 years of age, was one of the original quilters. Others recalled by Shelia included: Bessie Murray, Bert Murray, Almea Hall, Marion Sear, Maudie Robinson, Lizzie McQuinn and Grace McLeod. 4254
RETIRED TEACHERS FALL DINNER Can you believe how that once autumn arrived the mercury started dropping? Well, it is a sure sign that it is time for the Kings County Retired Teachers Association Annual Fall Dinner. This year, it will be held at the Apohaqui Centennial Hall, (16 Jones Memorial Park Road, Apohaqui) on Wednesday, October 19 at 12:00noon. The day will begin with a meet-and-greet at 11:00am (this a wonderful time to see friends that you haven't seen since the last dinner). Then, a wonderful roast beef dinner with all the fixings, followed by dessert for $18. Following dinner, Carole
and Kerry Allison will speak about their time in Zambia, Russia and the Ukraine sounds pretty interesting to me. We will have a 50/50 draw for those interested.

MUSINGS BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ Living in rural New Brunswick is close to idyllic but of course there is always the fly in the ointment! In this case, while it is flying insects, it is wasps/ hornets rather than flies however, that are annoying the heck out of us at the office. For some odd reason, in September we came into work one morning to discover several wasps/hornets (I am uncertain which) in our upstairs staff room area. Being a well equipped workspace, they were quickly dispatched with fly-swatters and Mikie was called to come in with foam to seal up the suspected entry points. For a couple of days that appeared to have solved the problem. We had one or two still around which were quickly dispatched, but we figured they must have been already inside at the time of foaming. Until . . . Monday morning came and we had killed a couple of dozen by noon! Obviously the problem is a mite bigger than we had hoped. Some investigating identified the source . . . a nest along the roofline with the 2nd story dormer. Time to call in the
pros. I know when we are outgunned! Strangely though, these wasps/ hornets have proven very docile. This surprised me, as any previous encounters I have had with wasps/ hornets have been with decidedly aggressive beasties! Earlier this summer I was stung in my ear by one when I came out of the garden shed (at which point I discovered the nest over the doorframe) and a few years ago I was attacked by a really nasty individual who flew under my skirt. (That was an exciting story!) These guys just seem to hang out and let you whack them. Not that I am complaining. Anyway, it made me curious, and curiousity naturally led me to do a little research. Turns out that many wasps/hornets are not terribly aggressive unless they are defending the nest. And since the nest was outside and these guys were inside, perhaps that explains why they did not seem very threatening. Of course, we were all very careful not to swat at one until we sure we could kill it!
A couple of other interesting things I discovered: • Many wasp species are important predators of other insect pests. In some areas, such as Germany, they are granted protection to preserve their role in the ecosystem. • Hornets aren’t native to North America, but the European hornet has been introduced to the continent. Thought for the day: “A slander is like a hornet; if you cannot kill it dead at the first blow, better not to strike at it.” ~ Josh Billings. 0001
