Merriam Webster - Full Definition of dirtbag “slang: a dirty, unkempt, or contemptible person.” The missus wonders about me. I confuse her. She cannot understand. “How can Mikie have a shower and leave the towel looking dirty??” The answer: “I am a dirtbag!!!” It is in my blood and indeed my soul. I can attract dirt like nobody’s business. I was a walking, breathing dirt magnet, at a time I mostly hoped to be a chick magnet. Back in my student days collecting garbage in the summers, some guys could wear a white T-shirt with nothing more than a smudge at the end of the day. Mikie... looked like he just stepped out of a garbage can by the time 5:00 o’clock came around. I can take a scrub brush to my hands and arms while showering and 20 minutes later have dirty water come off my hands, having done nothing to get them dirty again. So what’s life like when you are a dirtbag?? Actually, not that bad. Our country has a long and proud history of people working hard and doing dirty jobs. I am fortunate in that I don’t have to work very hard to get dirty. Between the dirt and my somewhat raggedy wardrobe, I have

always figured people were thinking “Man!! Does he lead a hard life!!” Hey, I’ll take all the sympathy that I can get. I can still recall the kid’s reaction if I was working hard, “Ooooh, you’re all sweaty.” Has hard work, dirt and sweat become a big sin?? Do hard working people have to shower before they are allowed out in public?? Mikie says no way!! Mikie says sweaty, dirty people do not have hide from all you “clean nuts” who put hard workers in the same class as lepers. There are many modern parents and educators who believe we have removed our children too far from the joy of playing in dirt. Over 60 years ago my mother gladly let me play for hours out in the dirt. And now, 60 years later my life hasn’t changed all that much. If dirt was bad for you, I would have been dead long, long ago. Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Dirt won’t hurt you Dirt is a must. 0002

InVeSTInG In youR FuTuRe “I’M MAXED OUT” - LOOKING BEYOND RSP’s For years, you’ve invested in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) – good for you, an RRSP is the best tax-saving, income-building investment vehicle for most Canadians. And to get the most in immediate tax savings and to maximize the potential long-term growth of your RRSPs, you always make your maximum allowable contribution each taxation year. But with all of that taken care of, what do you do now? Let’s look at money-saving and financial growth options beyond your RRSP. Contribute to investments held in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). It complements your RRSP because investments within a TFSA grow tax-free. You can currently contribute up to $5,500 in new money to a TFSA each year and get your contributions and accumulated income out at any time, for any purpose, tax-free. However, there is no deduction against your taxable income for TFSA contributions. Add to your non-registered investments
with your RRSP and TFSA topped up, consider adding your tax refund to your non-registered investments. The most tax-efficient strategy is to hold your fixedincome investments in a RRSP or TFSA, and stocks and equity mutual funds in a non-registered account (to the extent your investments exceed your RRSP and TFSA contribution room). This is because RRSP withdrawals are included in your taxable income in the year of the withdrawal and are taxed at your marginal tax rate, but stocks and equity mutual funds held in a non-registered account are taxed at a more favourable capital gains inclusion rate when you dispose of them. As well, dividends from most Canadian corporations are eligible for the dividend tax credit. Pay down debt, it’s a fact: Simply paying down debt delivers a risk-free, aftertax return which may be comparable to many investments. Start with costly, highinterest credit card debt and then pay down non-deductible debt such as your
home mortgage – a single prepayment could save hundreds, even thousands of dollars in interest payments. For parents and grandparents establish and contribute to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for your children or grandchildren. An RESP is the most effective way to create an education fund that grows to offset the future cost of education. There are tax and income-building advantages and disadvantages to each of these “beyond RRSP” options. You need to look at them in relation to your overall tax situation and financial objectives. Contact your advisor for specific advice about your circumstances. 0036

ASK THe CHeF PINE NUTS OR ACTUALLY PINE SEEDS Colin Sifton here again with another answer to your question. This week I had a very interesting conversation with a lady about pine nuts. She was saying that so many recipes now call for pine nuts, yet she never heard of them before. What are they? Are they considered a tree nut causing reactions if you have a tree nut allergy? What tree produces these nuts? Well this is what I found out. Pine nuts aren't actually nuts, but seeds. For the most part they do not cause reactions like other tree nuts as far as allergies, but it is best to check with your doctor to make sure your allergy is not affected. About 20 different kinds of pine tree produce seeds large enough to be worth harvesting. Here are a few of those pine tree. In Asia there are two major pines which produce this seed. The Korean Pine which is found in the northeast and Chilgoza Pine which is found in the Himalayas. Largest
producer in that area is Afghanistan. Europeans have been harvesting pine nuts for 5000 years. The Stone Pine is the most common pine to get nuts from in Europe. Stone pines are found all over Europe, mainly spread by the Romans. In North America, there are three main pines which produce nuts. They are the Colorado, Single Leaf and the Mexican Pinyon Pine. The Native Americans are the main producers of pine nuts in this part of the world. So what is it about pine nuts? Pine nuts have a very distinctive flavour. A cross between a nut flavour with pine. Pine nuts are best eaten when roasted and one of the main uses is in pesto. Pesto is a green sauce made from basil with garlic and pine nuts. This is a green condiment added to pasta and other sauces. You can mix it with mayo to change your favourite sandwich or rub it on meat when broiling. Pesto is a great way to use up fresh
basil that has start to wilt or you can make it with the basil stocks as well. Here is a simple way to make pesto: 3 ounces fresh basil; 3 average cloves garlic; 15-20 roasted pine nuts; pinch of salt; 2 tbls olive oil. Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until it is all one product. Remove and use as you like. If you have made too much you can save the rest for another time. 0040

In THe GARDen GARDENING, THERAPY & TOMATOES Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes. ~ Author unknown. How true and at this time of year there is an abundance, with frost just around the corner it is also a responsibility to waste as few as possible; the first order of the day is to harvest the well ripened ones and prepare them for freezer, sauce, wine (they make a very fine fairly spirited white wine) or whatever your fancy is. The partially ripe and the largest of the still green ones can be gathered, gently wiped and placed between layers of newspaper on racks, the plastic racks from a bakery are superb for this job. Strangely, in order to ripen well, the tomato needs a dark fairly dry atmosphere; the paper can be lifted every few days and the ripe ones extracted and feasted upon. Another method, particularly useful for the smaller types, is to dig the plant up and suspend it by the roots from the rafters in a cool basement; I have enjoyed many
ripened this way on Christmas day! Despite the rather strange weather that this summer has afforded us, we have been blessed with an abundance of produce; the sources of this bounty need attention if we are to have a repeat performance next year. First on my list is to prune out the stems that bore the fruit on both Blackberries and Raspberries, these need to be cut off at ground level since they will never fruit again and will interfere with new growth emerging in the spring. Black, white and red currants should have the oldest wood, three years or more, removed at ground level; although these chaps will bear fruit again it will slowly dwindle in size and will compromise any new growth. Apples should be harvested at the peak of perfection and a certain amount of pruning can be done at the same time, opening up the tree to the air, and taking away any branches that rub together.
All fallen fruit should be picked up and composted if not useful, long handled tongs are great for this, keep one on the mower and avoid being stung by hornets and their clan. Having used all the crab apples that I need I cheerfully leave the rest of the crop for my favourite winter event; in early January the Bohemian Waxwings will come and devour every last crab apple, they are such a welcome sight in the midst of all the snow and cold. Roses and Hawthorns will have produced a lot of lovely fruit for the other birds to indulge in. Blessings. 0045

As the days grow cooler and shorter and the end of summer looms, many New Brunswickers their thoughts turn to the upcoming hunting season. First moose, then migratory bird and small game followed by deer‌ there are many options for those who enjoy spending time in the woods or on the marsh. Although there has been a significant decline in the numbers of hunters throughout North America, in southern New Brunswick many still follow a hunting tradition they learned from their fathers and grandfathers. Information from Fish and wildlife Branch of Natural Resources shows a peak of 115,000 deer licences issued in 1982 which had declined to less 50,000 licences in 2015. The decline hasn’t been only in hunting, but in all outdoor activities . . . hiking, fishing, canoeing, bird-watching. We have become more urbanized, more reluctant to leave our warm houses and our technology to spend time outdoors. For those who do, however, hunting balances lots of hard work, long hours, stiff joints, cold (and sometimes wet) feet, with the adrenaline rush, the near misses, the simple joy of hunting and the thrill of bringing home your own food to share with family and friends. Whether you see it as a way to spend time with like-minded friends in the outdoors, or a solitary opportunity to enjoy nature, hunting also offers opportunities to teach your children about nature and the relationship we humans share with wildlife. Dates to Remember: September 20-24: Moose Season October 1: Opening of Bird and Small Game Season October 3-23: Deer - Archery Season October 24-November 19: Deer - Firearm Season

ASK mARy MY LOVED ONE IS DYING, HOW DO I SAY GOODBYE? Saying goodbye to a dying loved one doesn’t come naturally to most of us. All they ask of us are three things: words of candor, reassurance and love. Lesson #1: Don’t wait until the last minute. It’s hard to say goodbye, but putting off meaningful conversations is perhaps the number one source of regret. Spend time telling them what they mean to you. Dying people want to hear four very specific messages from their loved ones: “Thank you.” “Please forgive me.” “I forgive you.” “I love you.” Lesson #2: It’s OK, even comforting, to let on that you know the end is nearing. Realize that the dying person usually knows what’s happening. The person who’s dying starts to wonder if anyone else gets it. This stresses them - they have to think about others’ needs instead of dealing with their own. It helps to reassure them that you understand and in a way, you’re granting the
person permission to die peacefully. Lesson #3: Follow the dying person’s lead. If the person talks about impending death either directly or indirectly through a metaphor, a helpful response would be to say: “Tell me more.” If they are expressing anxiety about finishing certain tasks, you can follow with reassurance: “You’ve done a good job, you’re all set.” Sometimes the person may ask, “Am I dying?” as a way of gauging your feelings. You can reflect the question back: “I don’t know. How are you feeling?” Others refuse to discuss death and their wishes should be honored. Lesson #4: Truth is good - but so is a little white lie. Being reassured that their loved ones will be fine in their absence helps them feel that they can go peacefully. It may help to say: “You look tired, please don’t worry about me.” It’s also common for them to seek reconciliation with people, with God
or the universe, or within themselves. They often ask directly about particular relationships or express a desire to see someone they have been in conflict with. Telling them that they made a difference to their family and friends will fill their need to know that their life had meaning and purpose. “We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip outselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.” Ray Bradbury. 0016

ONYX:
Is a short-haired black male with beautiful amber eyes. He is 16 weeks old, has been vaccinated and all parasites taken care of. He is slated to be neutered at the end of the month. He’s a very happy camper, great purrer, plays every chance he gets and annoys the adult felines he lives with. He’s been introduced to a medium-size dog without any problems and they get along famously. He’s been trained on the scratch post and certainly gives it a good going over when he passes by it.

YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND SLEEP APNEA Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a very common sleep disorder. It is marked by 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. But people experiencing Sleep Apnea are not just affected by its physical effects. They are much more likely to experience depression than people in the general population. Having poor sleep quality can affect your daytime mood and having a serious health condition itself is enough to cause some to feel depressed. Sleep Apnea can interfere with mental health because of the reduced oxygen supply to the brain and frequent arousals from sleep to trigger breathing again. This can alter
brain function and increase a person’s chances of developing depression. Increased daytime anxiety and increasing anxiety before bed can affect those with Sleep Apnea. Not getting enough quality rest makes it very difficult to deal with routine daily tasks and cause anxiety. People with untreated Sleep Apnea also tend to feel anxious before bed as they know that they would like to have a restful sleep but will most like spend the night tossing and turning and waking frequently. People with Sleep Apnea often get treated because of their spouse’s complaints about snoring. Even the most supportive spouse can get fed-up by being awoken night after night with loud snoring and tossing and turning. This can cause sleeping in separate rooms, resentment and decreased opportunity for intimacy. Dreams are an opportunity to process emotions and events of the day freeing up your brain to deal with tomorrow. People with Sleep Apnea wake frequently, they are constantly being disturbed out of their
dream sleep, disrupting this essential cycle of dreaming. When someone does not get the proper amount of undisturbed dream sleep they experience anxiety to difficulty with memory. Concentration and memory problems are one of the most significant repercussions of Sleep Apnea. Exhaustion during the day causes trouble focusing on important tasks like work, school, and driving. You may frequently feel agitated or quicktempered further causing relationship problems and activities of daily living. If you think you are having mental health issues such as depression or anxiety and you snore or have trouble with your sleep be sure to talk to your doctor about having a sleep test. 0038 Angie Cummings, BSc RRT, Sussex Sleep Clinic

TAleS FRom THe CAmeRA BAG WABI SABI I was fortunate enough to have met Sally Mason a few years ago, as she gave a group of us an ad hoc lecture. Hailing from New Zealand she brought with her unique sensibilities and perspectives, the one she spoke to us of was what she called “Wabi Sabi”. This lecture stayed with me a long time, as I was moved to look at things that I would have normally walk on or over before. I began to see beauty in the broken, aged and decaying. In her new book “WabiSabi, a way of seeing: a way of being” Sally moves deeper into viewer's subconscious and moves us from the tangible to the emotional. As Freeman Patterson says in his forward in the book, “ Sally “knows” and and lives by feeling as much as she does by thinking”. Sally describes Wabi Sabi as; Wabi stems from the japanese word ‘Wa”, which refers to the word harmony, tranquility, balance and peace. It encompasses simplicity, modesty and humility and
is in tune with nature. Sabi refers to the bloom that stems from age. It looks at the acceptance of the inevitable, that death is the natural order of things. Sabi recognizes the the dignity and grace of aging; the patina that time give to much used wooden furniture, instruments and tools, smoothed and glowing from the warm touching of generations; the silver grey aura of weathered timber. Sally writes from her heart, emotionally and without a pretense. Encouraging us to look between places and more importantly to feel an image with all our senses. You can look at something and feel it’s age; or look at pottery and get a sense of the spirit laid upon it by the use of many hands. Walk a forest or ocean and smell your surroundings; with these senses evoked she asks us to go out and see and make images differently. It is terrific fun to make an image of a dew drop on a flower and overexpose so that it has an ethereal feel to it and
we see just the droplet and the image contained within. While in the woods recently I noticed a fallen yellowish leaf laying on the soft green moss at the base of the tree. The juxtaposition of the dead and decaying leaf on the fresh green moss was a symbol of the reality and beauty of life. These things I might have missed before before reading this book. As photographers we are always on the lookout for the play of light, now with the “Wabi S abi a way of seeing a way of being”, in hand I have a another way of seeing. Shoot, Print, Share. 0032

lISTen In FALL SEASON AND MUSIC I am writing this on the first day of another school year. My wife just drove the kids back to school and I can’t wait until they are home to tell us about their first day back! It’s always a bittersweet feeling when the kids go back to school. You will miss the summer fun you had together and are also happy they get to go back to school for another exciting year of a new chapter, in this case Grade 2 and Grade 5. We have already felt that Fall is in the air, which is my favorite although shortest season. Is it time for Halloween? Next it will be Christmas and another year will fly by. Let’s live in the moment and enjoy what each day brings us. My 2016 summer music sound track is behind us and now it’s time to make a sound track for the fall. What would be on your “Fall Music Mixtape”? What would you title it? Theme? After all music is part of your life’s journey. Fast Forward - House concerts have been
an ever popular way to enjoy live music. It’s a much more intimate event than a show in a bar or festival. It’s a wonderful exclusive and social atmosphere where you can really get to know the artist and share in a community gathering. It makes for some great memories as well. Every so often we at “Liberty House” host a house concert. In the past we have hosted Matt Andersen (the CD “Live at Liberty House” was recorded at the same time in my kitchen) as well as PEI’s Dennis Ellsworth. The fall is a perfect time of year to host a house show. This time around we are doing it to raise funding for our “Relay for Life Dream Team” initiative. We are welcoming music fans out to our home Sunday, October 16 at 3:00pm for an amazing event with a performance by one of Canada’s best songwriters, Ottawa’s own Jim Bryson! For more information on the show go to the Facebook event link here: events/706404202855938. E-mail me:

muSInGS HUNTING SEASON I love walking in the woods. From early Spring, as soon as it is light enough to have an hour after supper (I HATE walking in the woods after dark!) until the time changes in the fall, most work days Mike and I (and of course the Jet) do a walk around the woodlot. This is generally at a leisurely pace, so that I can enjoy the sights and sounds and scents of the woods . . . an opportunity to unwind from a day at work. On the weekends we generally walk in the morning, although we sometimes add a second walk in the evening as well. Every fall, as deer season approaches, I begin wondering, when does the season start, when do I need my hunter orange. Not that I am required to wear it, as I am not hunting, but so that I am more visible to anyone who may be out in our woods armed with a gun (or a bow, but that is still fairly uncommon). Even more than myself, I worry about the dog, who although he
generally stays close, does occasionally wander along the side of the woodroads, following whatever scents it is that excite a big ol’ Lab. I have never been a hunter, although my father was and my brother and various cousins and friends have also spent time hunting. I don’t ever remember my father getting a deer or a moose, but like me he greatly enjoyed the opportunity to spend time in the woods. My mother often claimed that is the only reason he bought a deer licence in his later years, as it gave him an excuse to walk the woods. I have a very vivid memory of my father with my brother and a few of his friends while they were in their teens and just beginning hunting. They were standing in the dooryard taking shots at a target some distance away and my father was able to hit the target without closing one eye to sight in. Apparently this is pretty uncommon (leastwise
that is what he was told while in the army during the war), although modern thought is it is the preferred method and should be practiced. For my father, it was just the way he always did it. My brother and his friends certainly seemed impressed. “If the hunter comes back with mushrooms, don't ask him how his hunt was.” ~ Ghanaian Proverb. 0001
