RAVINGS BEST TIME OF YEAR

P.7 In THe Garden P.11 DOLLARS & SENSE p.19 LIVE WELL P.21 POINT OF VIEW p.25 Listen In P.26 ASK THE CHEF Published Bi-Weekly Next Issue: October 6th Deadline: September 29th

Ah... fall, definitely the best time of year. Cooler days for walking. Many years ago, while walking around the Kingston Peninsula, the Missus took a nice deep breath and declared “Hmmm, the smell of rotten vegetarians.” This mistaken use of “vegetarian” for “vegetation” was unfortunate, in that the eldest daughter was one of those rotten vegetarians at the time. Besides the smells of fall, there are of course the sounds of fall... the squawk of blue and occasional grey jays, the chatter of squirrels, the ring of an axe, and well, the roar of the chainsaw. Taking a momentary break from splitting wood today, I thought back and realized that we have been heating with wood for 34 years now, roughly 200 cords (over 400 tons) of wood cut, split and moved multiple times. One problem that is really starting to evolve as I have more and more time to work in the woods, is “Where in heck do I put it all??”. I am quickly getting to the point where I am going to spend more time finding or constructing places to put wood as I am hauling it out!! Of course the “Best Time of the Year” is also going to be spent electing our next dictator. Well actually, we will be electing

three or four dictators but only one will get the be the really Big One. Think about how proud Canadians are of the men and women who went to war to fight for freedom. Now... think... about 330+ of the people that we will elect on October 19th will either be miming every word of their leaders or suffer consequences. Think of it this way. The most important people in Canada, whom we elect to collectively run our country, cannot speak their own mind. Party discipline must become recognized as being antidemocratic, anti the best interest of all Canadians and desperately needs to be outlawed. There are alternatives and they need to be explored. Fortunately the smell of rotten vegetarians almost covers up the smell of our current political practices. 0001

GREAT CANADIAN SHORELINE CLEAN-UP It’s that time of year again when volunteers get their hands dirty to clean up our rivers. The Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration Committee (KWRC) is hosting the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup for a sixth year in a row and needs your help. The event will be held - rain or shine - on Saturday, September 26 and will start at Burton Park (8th Hussars Sports Centre) with registration and instruction from 9:3010:00am. The Shoreline Cleanup runs from 10:00am-12:00noon and a free BBQ for participants will follow until 1:00pm. The KWRC asks that you preregister for this event if possible, as this will help us determine supplies needed. You can register by contacting the KWRC by phone, e-mail, or in person during our office hours Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm. Bring appropriate clothing and footwear, gloves (latex gloves will be available), family, friends and a smile! Project Manager, Ben Whalen says “Over the past number of years participation in this event has been about 25 people per year. This results in approximately $1500 of in-kind support for the KWRC.” Around 500 pounds of litter has been removed from local rivers and streams each year thanks to the efforts of past participants. This means that 500 pounds less of litter is negatively affecting water quality, fish health, and the overall habitat of the Kennebecasis River. The impacts of litter tossed onto the banks in Sussex are far reaching, not only are our rivers affected, but also the Bay of Fundy. Participation in this event allows you to improve not only

your neighborhood but also those of other communities along the Kennebecasis. For more informaiton visit: shorelinecleanup.ca or the Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration Committee at: kennebecasisriver.ca. 3697

J. CLARK & SON CELEBRATES CENTURY IN BUSINESS As a writer, I’ve become accustomed to meeting and interviewing company presidents and CEO’s. So, when I was given the task of talking to the man at the helm of Canada’s oldest Chevrolet dealership, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, it’s not every day that a business survives and thrives for more than a century.

today by sitting behind a desk all day. He not only loves cars, but he loves and appreciates his customers and his staff. It was clear from the moment I walked into the dealership that day, going above and beyond for the customer is what sets J. Clark & Son apart from the rest.

J. Clark & Son Limited, which has two locations – one in Fredericton, the other in Sussex – has done just that. This month, the first Chevrolet dealership in Canada officially marks its 100th Anniversary, but the business is actually 132 years old, being established in 1883. How does one navigate through changing trends and tough economic times? As I was about to discover, John Clark’s actions, not his words, held the answer.

Mr. Clark poignantly explained how his greatgrandfather, William George Clark, came to open Canada’s very first Chevrolet location in Fredericton. He would later pass the business on to his son, Alden, but not before teaching him everything he knew about the business, including the importance of being involved in the day-to-day operations. That is where John’s father and then he would also continue the tradition of supporting a wide variety of community projects and initiatives.

When I arrived for my appointment with Mr. Clark, I was greeted at the Sussex location by Sales Manager, Brian Jonah. He said John was out on a test drive with a customer, and would be back soon. It was pouring rain outside and the company president had brought in a Cadillac from their flagship location, so an elderly customer could try it out. And, he accompanied the gentleman on the test drive. I have to admit that I was stunned.

Back before they downsized and closed other dealerships across the province, they owned and operated a travel agency, furrier business, auto parts business and sold everything from John Deere tractors and bikes to furniture and appliances. When John IV took over from his dad, John III, in 1995, the Fredericton and Sussex locations were remaining. When I asked him to share his secret to success, Mr. Clark’s response was simple.

When I sat down with Mr. Clark a short time later, I quickly realized that he didn’t get where he is

“I love cars – always have. It makes people happy when they get something new,” he shared. “We

try to keep our customers happy, look after them and meet their service needs to the best of our ability. We have good people in the business and want to treat them right.” He likened running a business to running a household. Both cost money to maintain, so it’s important to be environmentally conscious and look for ways to operate more efficiently. At Clark’s, they do that by sending their discarded oil, batteries, plastics and cardboard to a recycling facility. It could be something as simple as turning lights off when they’re not in use to replacing light bulbs with energy efficient LED lights, but Mr. Clark believes all efforts are important. When the conversation shifted to the future, his eyes lit up when he spoke about the next generation who will carry on the business – his three grown children. Kyle, Jay and Chelsey work with him at the Fredericton dealership and he couldn’t be more proud. When he passes the reins to his kids, like his father did to him, he’s confident that he’s instilled the same values in them that he learned from his ancestors. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to speak with me, and congratulations on 100 years!

DEAR EDITOR Today’s libraries are more than books. They lend tools, kitchen equipment,

green screens, recording studios, professional creative software, and technical production spaces. This new wave of libraries articulates how libraries were never about books; they were about sharing. The sharing economy reduces consumer waste and removes barriers from tools and technologies that create culture and prosperity. Tool lending can be a meaningful part of resuscitating the cultural value of trades, saving on energy costs, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Inefficient heating and cooling of Canadian buildings results in significant economic and environmental costs. Tool libraries provide the physical tools and skills necessary to make DIY energy-saving projects common practice. Incorporating garden tools and kitchen equipment into libraries helps connect people to their food. This relationship is untended by many in Canada, where 37% of adults measure as overweight and 25% as obese. Fast and cheap foods are rarely nutritionally dense, so making gardening and home cooking accessible and culturally relevant is a meaningful way to address root causes

of our obesity crisis. As automation forebodes the elimination of low skill labour, creative and service sectors gain importance economically. Libraries can stimulate competitive creative economies in both rural and urban communities. Communalizing means of cultural, digital, and physical production allows communities to realize the full potential of their members. Modernized libraries can also tap into the corporate sharing economy to guarantee their financial sustainability. Shared office spaces are an urban trend that allow businesses and self-employed individuals to save on rent and network with cognate enterprises. Combining profitable shared office spaces with libraries would benefit the tenants by placing them in proximity to creative and technical lending services. The arrangement serves the public by using membership and rental fees to maintain the library's services. Let's invest in New Brunswick's libraries for a smarter economy.

IN THE GARDEN BURIED TREASURE WITH INTEREST! Considering measly interest that the Banks offer it’s not surprising that we feel that investments are a lost cause. However, the garden centres are awash with the very things that will increase with no risks and surefire results; these wonderful items will bring visions of better days to come as we plod and plow through the coming winter. Spring Bulbs! It is never too early to pick up these beauties and the selection available now is huge; the best bet is certainly with the stores that display loose bulbs along with photos and details regarding height and blooming times. Where deer are a problem there is no point in even trying Tulips, however the range of the Daffodil/Narcissus family is so great that they alone would provide all that you could wish for to celebrate Spring. Crocus seem to be low on the list of fine dining for our hoofed invaders and both these families do well in borders and dotted around in lawns, though not perhaps the best choice for those perfectionists who have to have a close cropped lawn from the ‘get go. All bulbs perform best if the leaves are allowed to stay on the plant for a while after flowering and may look a little untidy. Aside from these there is a huge range of incredibly beautiful and fragrant spring bulbs that will gladden the hearts of even the most dedicated Scrooges. Although much is to be gained by purchasing now, best results are obtained by waiting until the end of September or mid October to plant, preferably when

the soil is moist and a bulb planter will go in with greater ease; the best tool for this is a spade like device that has a circular metal base that removes a plug of soil that can be dropped back on the bulb after it is planted. Bulbs need to be set at a depth three times the height of the bulb and need a sprinkle of bone meal in the bottom of the hole. For the very best display one needs to dig an area and incorporate compost mixed with manure before planting; the most pleasing results can be obtained by planting in groups leaving a good space between individual bulbs, in time the group will grow in size and even need to be divided up and spread around. Bulbs can also be ‘Forced’ for blooming indoors while winter is still a reality by planting in pots and giving them a spell in a cold basement for a few weeks, thus fooling them into thinking it is winter, then bringing them into the warm house. In order for this to be successful they will need a very bright window or grow lights since they will tend to become lanky and floppy if enough sunlight is not provided. Blessings. 0038

“Ron had set up the old Oxford mill as a hobby. It was something he’d always wanted to do, McMillan explained. “It didn’t take long for his retirement project to become a lot busier than he’d planned. So, when he put it up for sale, I expressed an interest and purchased it from him.” When McMillan Forest Products was born and he became a young, first-time business owner, McMillan quickly learned to roll with the punches and listen to his customers.

DOLLARS & SENSE Q.

TALKING TO YOUR FAMILY ABOUT MONEY Talking about money is not just about budgeting, credit and savings. Although these are crucial to a cohesive family life, the reality is not everyone is the nuclear family and we are left with broader financial topics that need to be discussed. Families are much more diverse and complex than the traditional husband and wife and eventually kids. Both my parents married again when I was in my twenties, I have great step-parents, could not ask for better, but I have not lived in their homes. So, not only is it crucial for me to talk to my biological parents about their financial plans, I also need to have the conversations with my step-parents. I have been financially single for most of my life, but I also realize now more and more my finances impact others, and I am starting to look at those people who impact my finances. And when I say ‘those people’ I do mean my biological and chosen family. My partner recently lost his mother, which was a financial wake-up call for me personally. I found myself thinking about who are my beneficiaries, if I was not able to handle my finances who would do that for me and how do I start the conversation with those that I will be taking care of? The first step was to talk to my partner, we do talk about money on a regular basis, it’s what I do, and I can’t help it. But, this is a different conversation, it was more than did you remember to pay your credit card off or how much did you spend at the grocery

store? We know we are moving toward the same mutual financial goals, and we talk with ease on our financial decisions. Our discussions have changed, they have moved from dollars and cents to now cover who makes the decisions, what we have insured, what we need insured, what we will do about our real estate, powers of attorney and wills. That conversation is now in the process of communicating our plans with our families and close friends I have also started the conversation with my father about what his and my stepmothers plans are, typically the conversation went “we are spending all the money, sorry there will not be any.” The fact of whether you are being left money in the end is not a concern (and completely out of your control); it is knowing what they want and what they will need from me. Fortunately, they have more of a plan then spending it all. I know their plans for their house, downsizing and debt. When starting the conversation about finances, you do not have to talk numbers, it’s not an asset minus the debts; it is a conversation that involves goals, wishes and organization. Do not be afraid to ask, you may be surprised on how much you actually enjoy the conversation. 0005

Who does my income tax if I file for bankruptcy?

A. Your Trustee does your income tax return for you when you file for bankruptcy. In the year that you file for bankruptcy your Trustee does 2 separate returns. One from January 1st up to and including the day of bankruptcy (Pre) and another separate return from the day after the bankruptcy is filed until December 31st (Post). Date of Bankruptcy Jan 1st

Dec 31st Pre

Post

If there is an amount owing to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in the pre-bankruptcy period the debt will be included in your bankruptcy. If there is an amount owing in the post filing period, you will be responsible to pay that amount to CRA. If there is a refund in either the pre or the post return, the refund will be sent to the Trustee and the monies will form part of the bankruptcy for the creditors. Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty.

DORNAN DRIVING SCHOOL ADDS MOTORCYCLE TRAINING When you’re in the business of teaching new drivers the rules of the road, expanding your course schedule to include motorcycle training is cause for celebration. And, when it’s the first government approved motorcycle course in New Brunswick, it’s even more reason to be excited. Blaine Dornan, owner of Moncton-based Dornan Driving School, confirmed that they now offer the first government approved motorcycle course in the province, and look forward to offering their intensive 20 hour instructional and practical training on the safe operation of motorcycles. “Our instructors come to us with over 80 years of motorcycle teaching experience and we have designed a course that is invaluable to new and

experienced riders,” Dornan explains. Along with highly qualified, certified instructors, they have designed the course around the weekends, to make it easier for those with busy weekday schedules to attend. Their schedule begins on Friday evenings with three hours of inclass training followed by 17 hours of hands on motorcycle training on Saturday and Sunday. “Here at Dornan Academy, we can be depended on to ensure our students receive top notch training,” he said. “Students can leave here knowing they have obtained the skills necessary to become confident, safe and defensive riders on our busy roads and highways.”

Lowest Price in Town Call Toll Free to Book Your Seat: 1 (855) 702-1933

Along with motorcycle training, Dornan Driving School continues to offer a convenient option for new drivers in the Sussex area. They hold regular driver training courses at Sussex Regional High School, and also offer the convenience of online training for those who are unable to attend the classroom portion of the program. Dornan adds that his training school has to be cleared and recertified every year, and all instructors are also certified and undergo regular police checks. Dawn Scott is the latest addition to their roster of instructors and they would like to welcome her to the team. “We are committed to training drivers to meet the challenges of our roads and highways.”

HOME IMPROVEMENT

BUILDING YOUR DREAMS

Whether you’re building your dream home, or remodeling the one you already have, investing in a house is the best thing you’ll ever do. It also happens to be one of the most time consuming, expensive and complicated tasks that you’ll ever undertake. With that it mind, it’s important to set some ground rules, and stick to them.

Selecting your team - everyone from the builder, lawyer, architect and landscaper – should be done before you ever start the building process. They’ll be there to look out for your needs from a different vantage point. Once you decide on a lot, your team can come together to create detailed plans that best suit your individual needs. Get real about what you need. It’s easy to confuse your wants with your needs, when doing a new build or remodel. Devise a personalized plan that incorporates all of your lifestyle needs. For example, you might want marble flooring, but porcelain tile is best suited to your needs. Or, you might want those all steel windows, but aluminum clad will work just as well for a fraction of the cost.

A POWERFUL BURN & DISTINCTIVE STYLE

• Windows • Doors • Steel & Asphalt Roofing • Garage Doors • Siding

and then listen. If you have a reputable builder or contractor, trust him or her to tell you what things cost. If you’re undertaking the project on your own, know what you can afford to spend and shop around for quality products and services at the best price..

433-5550

In case you missed it the first time, get real about your budget. Builders and architects design to a number. Let your team know what your numbers are, so they can design accordingly. And don’t forget to budget for things like landscaping and furnishings. These are things that can get overlooked until your process is almost complete, yet account for a significant amount of any budget. Another important factor is your timeline. Despite what you see on television, your construction or remodelling project isn’t going to be complete in three days. It’s a process, and there will be delays. If you can learn to expect delays and some setbacks along the way, your experience will be a lot


more positive. Communicate with your partner or design team. It’s up to you to stay engaged, and be aware that changes you make to the plan will also alter the bottom line. Each time you make a change, it will affect your price and the schedule. Planning well and carefully is key. Once you’ve completed your project, enjoy it. IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Spring is traditionally a time for new beginnings, which prompts many people to begin their home improvement projects then and carry on throughout the summer. But, some are better left until fall, when the weather cools and contractors have more time to complete certain projects. Here’s a list five projects that are best to schedule this time of year. Replace the windows – when the leaves start to fall, so too do the temperatures. This is when you may start to notice cold air drafts coming in around your windows. To save yourself from a higher heating bill and winter’s chill, replace your windows now. Repair the roof – harsh winter weather tends to aggravate a leaky roof. When you do your roof repair now, you’ll avoid extreme temperatures and further damage from snow and ice. Trim the trees – it’s important to hire a professional to remove unwanted trees and branches in and around your property. When the leaves are off and the ground is frozen, it makes it a lot easier for workers to see and reach trees with their equipment. Fertilize the landscape – adding fertilizer to your shrubs, trees and grass in the fall helps to ensure your plants head into the winter months well nourished and helps them survive the colder temperatures. It’s also a good idea to remove weeds and leaves from your garden beds before the first frost. A plant covered by weeds can suffocate, preventing it from coming up next season. Paint a room – interior projects can be done year round, but why not beat the winter blues with a splash of paint? Painting your walls a brighter colour can break up the dull colours outside, improve seasonal disorders and perk up your mood during the shorter days of winter.

LIVE WELL ARE YOU A PEOPLE-PLEASER? A “people- pleaser” is often described as someone who does things for others that they could and should be doing for themselves. It is often disguised as kindness or helping but in reality it is behavior rooted in fear - fear of rejection, fear of disappointing others or fear of failure - and ultimately, it is neither kind nor helpful. Why? Because doing things for others that they need to do for themselves cripples them from ever learning how to do it themselves and it creates unhealthy dependency. In the words of former writer and lecturer, Earnie Larsen, peoplepleasing is “psychological baby-making!” An inability to say “No” to others’ requests is one of the hallmarks of a people pleaser, who eventually become unable to set healthy boundaries with others even to the point of risking their own health and happiness rather than deal with the fear of others not liking or rejecting them.

It is believed that learning to be a peoplepleaser may have its roots in childhood where one may have experienced conditional love, or love that is given as long as one is pleasing in manner and doing what parents or other caregivers feel he or she should. Doing the approved behavior results in compliments or rewards, while doing that which is not approved can result in withdrawal of affection, praise or approval. This can be devastating for a child who quickly learns to be pleasing and agreeable and to never disappoint others. Consequently, this people-pleasing behavior continues into adult life but with serious consequences. Another way in which children learn to be people pleasers is from growing up in a home with critical parents who practiced harsh criticism or punishments for even small mistakes. Regardless of how one may have learned to seek love and approval through perfectionism or people-pleasing, there can be serious health and personal consequences that

continue even if parents or caregivers are deceased. So, how does one stop being a people pleaser? Here are some suggestions that might help. Ask if what is being asked is something that the person could do for themselves, stall before responding perhaps by saying: “I’ll need to get back to you about that”. Set time limits - for example, “I can help for an hour or so”, assertiveness training, counselling, practice saying “no” in front of a mirror. Remember if someone is going to dislike you for setting limits and boundaries, this is a conditional friendship/ relationship; are these the kinds of individuals you want controlling your life? 0008

POINT OF VIEW TALKING TIME ALONE If you'd told me 20, years ago that I'm actually an introvert, I would have called you crazy. After all, I've always considered myself to be a fairly social person. I don't think I'm shy, and actually like most people. It wasn't until I took a couple of different personality tests for former and current employers that I discovered that I possess all the classic characteristics of an introvert. An introvert, by definition, is a person who is energized by spending time alone. Not all introverts are shy. In fact, many have great social skills and enjoy communicating with other people. The difference is that they need some time to be alone to recharge afterwards. I used to be ashamed to admit that I actually crave and thoroughly enjoy my alone time, and felt guilty for not answering the phone in the evenings or on a weekend. Once I understood that being an introvert isn't something I chose, it's just

a part of who I am, I learned to embrace my differences. I recently read an article outlining several ways introverts interact differently with the world and, no surprise, I could relate to each and every one of them. Here are just a few examples. They withdraw in crowds - I'm okay for the first few minutes, and then I tend to get agitated and just feel the urge to run for the nearest exit. Crowds usually mean loud, noisy and congested - three things that easily overstimulates an introvert and drains them of their physical energy. They are naturally drawn to more creative, detail oriented and solitary careers – bingo! This explains why I gravitate towards writing and photography. “Introverts naturally prefer spending time alone or in a small group, delving into one task at a time and taking their time when it comes to making decisions and solving problems. Certain professions, including writers and in-the-field natural scientists can give introverts the intellectual stimulation they crave without the distracting environment they dislike.”

They physically can't stand talking on the phone – unlike certain people I know and love! Most introverts screen their phone calls for several reasons. The intrusive ringing forces them to abandon focus on a certain thought or project and reassign it to something unexpected. Because introverts aren't great at small talk, they will often let calls go to voicemail so they can return them when they have the proper energy and attention to dedicate to the conversation. That would be me! Lastly, they literally shut down when it's time to be alone – speaking of which… please excuse me while I go bury my head in a good book. I've craving some alone time. 0032

LISTEN IN TALENT SHOWS! I remember performing in bands in the 80’s (yes that long ago!) and entering talent shows called “Battle of the Bands”. They mostly were local contests where bands would sign-up to battle it out on stage against each other while a group of so called experts or talent judges would grade on the performance. Sometimes the audience would be able to participate as well, individually voting for their favorite by filing in a ballot or by the amount of applause. From that perspective it helped to have lots of friends and family because they didn’t really care whether you deserved it or not. They were going to vote for you! Today that contest still exists, only now social media has created a greater reach and the contest itself has become a global phenomenon creating instant stars (although not many forge a career out it) through various mediums, bringing it all to an unimaginable level. You know the

show/contests; Idol, The Voice, America’s (Canada’s) Got talent, the world over has created their own version of these as well even smaller urban markets have jumped on the bandwagon. Myself, I have helped co-organize some of these local talent and singing contests and sat on the judging panels of these for years. I have also juried for the ECMA’s (East Coast Music Awards) and the Juno’s. It blows my mind to discover all the untapped talent out there and how these artists and their family and friends will travel great distances to compete in these contests in hopes of winning the Big Prize. It’s reminiscent of those beauty pageants I have only seen on TV, the camaraderie versus the spirit of fierce competition in equal measure. Great networking opportunities abound! It’s also enlightening from my perspective to see and hear all the amazing undiscovered talent there is out there, especially right here in our backyard! It gives that same sobering realistic view to those who are out there trying to make it in the

music/performance and entertainment business. You have to go out there and put yourself under that spotlight. Or is it microscope? That is why it’s called show business. I just finished another of those talent shows this past weekend called, “Dream Night Talent Search” and I discovered so much brilliant regional talent as well as talent from the US. I also had the opportunity to share the judging with some amazing talent including US booking agent Wendy Klein Kay, Megan DeCourcey and the "Crown Prince of Soft pop" Kyle Vincent, formerly of the band “Candy” fame with Gilby Clarke (G’N’R). He also toured with Barry Manilow who is a big KV fan and the Bay City Rollers! Lots of talent out there! Look for it! 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists

ASK THE CHEF APPLES, APPLES, APPLES Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your questions. This week we have been talking about apples. It is that time of year again when apples are ready to be picked and here are a few facts

about apples. The apple tree comes from the rose family and were brought to North America by the European colonists. They were first found in central Asia and have made their way all around the world. Now this took thousands of years but today, 80 million tons of apples are grown each year. Almost half of the apples grown today come from China,

with the United States being second with only 6%. With knowing this, we should all buy locally and support our own. Something to think about. Now apples are made into thousands of different things, mainly sweet desserts. Who doesn’t love apple pie, especially one we made ourselves? Apples are one of those items that we grow and grow very well. I remember one of the best things to do growing up was to go picking apples with my family. Always picking out that really red, perfect one to eat while sitting in a tree. Picking out a tree and climbing every inch of it, looking for the best apples, while my mother scoured the ground for the ones that had just fallen. Good memories that I am sure some of you have similar ones as well. Once we got home, you were sure to have an apple in your school lunch for the next few weeks. There were other great items that we got during apple season, like apple crumble, apple pie, apple pancakes on the weekend and there always seemed to be apple sauce in a bowl in the fridge. These were some of the things that I remember as a kid, but I don’t know if this still happening today? One item that we used to make is baked apples. You take a large apple and core the centre, trying to get all of the core. Run a knife around the centre of the apple, just enough to cut the skins. Stuff the core with whatever you like; nuts, raisins, brown sugar, oatmeal and cinnamon or anything that you think would taste good. Do this to as many apples that will fit in a casserole pan. Place a small dollop of butter on top and bake at 300 degrees for thirty minutes or until the apples appear soft and cooked. Allow to sit until warm, not cool. Serve in a bowl with a scoop of ice-cream. Perfect. So I hope this article gives you the idea to go out this fall and pick your own apples and do an adventure with the family which they will always remember. 0040

SUSSEX CHAMBER NEWS Chamber members held a wellattended Economic Update luncheon on September 9 at the Fairway Restaurant. Our guest speakers, Ian Pyne and Rodney Shirley from the Royal Bank gave us an enlightening economic forecast. Like the weather the economy is very volatile at this time and it is very difficult to forecast, especially with an upcoming Federal Election. Small Business week will be celebrated October 19-24. During this week the Chamber will be holding their Annual Awards Dinner at the Timberland Restaurant. Our guest speaker will be Marcel LeBrun, a local entrepreneur. Marcel and his family have taken over ownership of Snyder Mountain Ranch and are making huge improvements and new opportunities available. Marcel is a husband/father, innovator, serial entrepreneur who has journeyed down many paths. His accolades include working at NB Tel, he co-founded iMagicTV in Saint John, then moved on to VP at Mariner. Gerry Pond, the godfather of New Brunswick’s IT sector asked Marcel to look at a local start-up Radian6. He became CEO and they were able to bring Silicon Valley to Fredericton instead of selling the company and it leaving the Province. Marcel continued to grow Salesforce at an amazing rate until he took a leave of absence to focus on Snyder Mountain Ranch. Marcel is certainly an important business owner to our community, come out and welcome his family to our wonderful town!

MUSINGS THE UNMADE BED There are those who make the bed every morning, and there are those who don’t. Those who don’t consider it a total waste of time and agree with Erma Bombeck that “No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed.” I however fall very firmly into the make the bed category. I dislike the messy look of an unmade bed and cannot bear the thought of getting into one. I like the sheets snugged up and wrinkle free and my pillow fluffed and nothing twisted or askew as I settle in for the night. BUT . . . it seems there is now a valid scientific argument to leave the bed unmade all day. Ten years ago scientists at England’s Kingston University theorized that leaving the bed unmade would reduce the number of dust mites residing there and set out to test their theory. Dust mites are wee little critters, so wee that it seems that about 1.5 million of them live in an average bed. They munch down on

our discarded skin flakes and thrive in the warm moist environment we create every night as we snooze away. Now, we can’t see these little beasties, so what do we care? But, dust mites are associated with asthma, allergies, eczema and chronic rhinitis (a permanent yearround stuffy nose). Getting rid of the mites, or at least reducing their numbers, can have significant health benefits. And how does one get rid of dust mites . . . by letting the bedding air and completely dry each day. The mites need the moisture in the sheets and mattress; depriving them of it will cause them to dehydrate and die. Other studies however seem to support the finding that getting up and making your bed every morning contributes to greater productivity and overall happiness. Outer order (the made bed) contributes to inner calm (greater happiness). “If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed,'' U.S. Navy Adm. William H. McCraven (commander of the forces that organized

the raid to kill Osama bin Laden) told the graduates of University of Texas in a commencement speech he gave in the spring of last year. Who is one to believe? There is an excellent compromise position. Throw your covers off exuberantly each morning as you arise and toss them down over the end of the bed to air. Ideally, open the windows as well. Leave it that way . . . for an hour. Then, after having showered and dressed and eaten breakfast you can make the bed before you leave for work, content and ready for a productive day and smiling because you have just wiped out thousands of the little beasties in your bedding. 0002
