A few months ago, I had written about the total redesign of our website, to bring you a fresh new look and lots of new content. Unfortunately we are still waiting to get some of the bugs out and who knows how long before it is really ready for prime time, but the development is still progressing and we will be happy to keep you updated. The first seven months of 2014, have not been easy on the print publishing industry with a significant drop in sales, that appears to have hit most local publishers. Whether this is a long hangover from the past winter or more of a permanent trend, we will have to wait and see. Since early August we are certainly seeing an upward trend that is promising, but only time will tell for sure. In other news, “The Jet” appears to be headed for a banner year in apple eating. I am reasonably sure that he has scarfed in the range of 12 apples per day, despite competition from numerous deer and other apple loving critters. We have even noted a couple of spike horn deer browsing at a tree right next to the house. Fortunately The Jet has not observed this going on or his mild mannered approach to deer might change radically. In even better news, we are currently in the process of having a new bridge

installed on the property. This will provide access across the brook that divides the property and allow us to carry out a commercial harvest this winter. Our friends at the Southern New Brunswick Wood Co-op are spearheading this project and the bridge will meet all environmental standards. Along with some further road improvements, this will allow much improved access for Mikie. Even Mikie is unlikely to drive off of a 16 foot wide bridge. Why I could probably even drive over it with my eyes closed. Oh!! Oh!!. A few days ago, we were walking in the woods and just ahead of us two owls flew towards us from each side of the road. We only got a quick glance but with further looking around I spied a third owl sitting 30 feet up in a poplar tree. It was definitely a large barred owl and we watched each other for about 5 minutes and as we started to move along to finish our walk, the owl also decided to join the rest of his family. I have only had one single owl sighting in over 5 years before this one. Hopefully this is a good sign for the future. 0001

Three charities were chosen to present to our group and they were Sussex Pregnancy Care Centre, Tanya McCrea; Crosswinds, Wanda Steeves; and Hampton Food Basket, Catherine Peacock.

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty THIS SIDE OF THE SNOW I interviewed the spellbinding songbird and valley girl Marissa Rignanesi about her most recent album “This Side of the Snow” and her musical journey thus far. Read it here and remember to support your local music scene. Jeff - What can you tell us about your songwriting? Is it something you do daily or only when you feel inspired? Marissa - When I first started writing, it was very much about what I happened to be experiencing in the moment and I was very influenced by the music I happened to be listening to at that particular time. I was testing the waters. It was my outlet to talk about what was going on in my life, what I was seeing or feeling, in a way that felt very safe. Now that I’m feeling more comfortable in my own songwriting shoes and music style I’ve been able to look beyond what is happening to me personally and tell
stories that aren’t necessarily about something that took place in my life yesterday. I don’t have a schedule for it, but if I see something or think of a line, I write it down – I have a book of “ideas” that I come back to when I’m feeling inspired. Some of them come together really quickly; some of them I feel will always be a work in progress. Jeff - What are your future plans as a songwriter, recording artist and performer? Marissa - My fiancé and I have some plans to start co-writing and playing together more, so stay tuned for that project! I grew up playing the piano and have recently been doing more shows with the keys instead of just my guitar. The next album (which I have no timeline for just yet) will definitely feature more piano in the songwriting. Jeff - What advice would you give to a young inspiring songwriter today that you wish someone would have told you when you started? Marissa - Play your songs and play

what you want. I spent a lot of time when I first started out thinking that I had to play other people’s music so that the audience wouldn’t leave. I was afraid they wouldn’t like my songs. But the best feedback you can get is to play them live for anyone who will listen. Don’t be afraid of the reaction, take it and use it to make your songs even better than they already are. And don’t be afraid to ask questions and get out into the music community. It’s a group of people who share your love of music and I have never had someone not want to help.

SUSSEX & DISTRICT CHAMBER NEWS The Sussex & District Chamber and the Business Development Bank of Canada were pleased to host Pierre Cleroux, Vice President of Research and Chief Economist at the Business Development Bank of Canada at a luncheon on September 10 at the Fairway Inn. Fiftyfive people came to enjoy lunch, network and hear all about doing business in today’s economy from one of Canada’s top economists. Mr. Cleroux’s message forecast cause for optimism in the future economic outlook for New Brunswick. The forestry sector is expected to contribute strongly to growth this year, as well as the manufacturing sector. We can see the benefits for exportation from a stronger US economy and a weaker Canadian dollar. The mining sector should improve next year. The Potash outlook is bright but some uncertainties remain. We are experiencing solid export growth in the first six months of this year, our Economic growth should accelerate but will remain modest. There are five large scale projects worth 8.6 million that could provide a big boost

arriving with all the usual storms that come with it. September and October are the perfect time of year to get ahead on your winter chores and get your house ready for our frigid Canadian winters where we all start to wonder if summer was just a lie all along, and if it really will come back. The first thing on your fall to do list is to clean your gutters. It may seem like a spring or summer job, but now is the perfect time to get ahead of the game and give them a quick cleaning before the snow and ice settles in. This will help to make sure that melting snow and ice will have a quick route to the ground and away from your foundation. Windows, especially old ones, leak heat, and if there’s one thing no one likes it’s having to pay more to have a toasty warm house during our cold winter months. Properly installed sheets of plastic can help create an insulating barrier to keep more heat in your house. They are easy to install and readily available at most hardware stores and major retailers. Often forgotten, it’s recommended that you change your furnace filter once a month during the winter time. This helps keep the air flowing and your furnace working at maximum efficiency which means less oil burning to keep you warm.

If your shed is a mess, or just too small for all the tools and equipment it holds, now is a great time to push the lawn mower to the back and pull out the snowblower and snow shovels. There’s no reason to wait until the first big snowstorm when it’s freezing cold to get ready for winter. Do it now while there’s still some warmth in the air. Gaps around windows, doors and electrical outlets can let cold air sneak into your house. Plugging these holes can help save money on heating bills and they can be easy to find if you know how to look for them. Wait for a windy day and light an incense stick then go around

away from your windows and doors and trace the outlines slowly. If the smoke is blowing
you may need to replace your weather stripping. You can do the same for outlets and buy special gaskets to stop the air from coming through. Programmable Thermostats can pay for themselves in as little as one year. They come in a wide variety of price points with a number of options. Picking which one is right for you may require a bit of research, but it will be worth it for the added heft you feel in your wallet when you bring down your heating bills. A 5/2 Programmable thermostat lets you set a different temperature for the weekdays and the weekend. You can set it to turn the heat down while you’re at work and while
you’re in your bed at night. How low you want your heat to go depends on you. The lower it is the longer it will take to heat back up, but the more money you’ll save. Just don’t freeze the pipes while you’re at work. Maybe your Christmas lights are still up from last year, if so now is a great time to check them and make sure the bulbs are all working. And while it may be a little early now to put them up, it may be a good idea to tackle in the middle of November while it’s still just nippy and not downright freezing. It will definitely be easier than trying to trapse through the snow if you leave it for too long.
Warm socks, cozy fires and short er days are just around the bend. It’s time to settle in for a long winter.

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton MAKE OR BREAK THE ROAST Colin Sifton from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering here again with an answer to your question. This past week I had a few people ask me on how to keep their roasts from shrinking and drying out, what is the best temperature to cook a roast and what seasonings they should use. The big secret to cooking a roast is in the temperature. The biggest mistake people make is cooking at a high temperature. A roast should be cooked slowly at a temperature of about 225 degrees for a longer period. A lot of people cook a roast at 300 to 350 degrees, but in the end they lose 25 to 30 percent of the size of your roast and with the price of food these days who has that much to throw away. Meat cooked at a lower temperature for longer will still shrink but but only about 11 percent. Cooking it slower
will also keep your roast more moist. Another thing that most people do not do when cooking a roast is allowing the roast to rest for at least five minutes before cutting into it. When the roast comes out of a very hot oven, it is very tight and the moisture is just bursting to get out. Think about a hot dog on a barbecue. It grows , swells and eventually splits. Your roast is basically doing the same but does not split because to the fibbers keeping it together. As that hotdog cools, the swelling goes down and becomes a bit more firm. Same with your roast but with the roast all the moisture incorporates back into the fibre leaving a more tender and moist roast. Think about all that juice on your cutting board or in the platter after you have cut your roast. This was because you did not let it rest long enough. When cooking a roast, I often do a rub instead of a marinade. My rubs often include some form of mustard like dijon, chopped garlic, rosemary,
and salt and pepper. I mix this in a bowl then rub it all over the roast at least 30 minutes before I would start cooking my roast. Don’t be shy with any of these ingredients. Don’t worry about having too much, your roast will only take what it needs. Another factor when cooking meat is that you should buy the right cut of meat. If you buy lower quality of meat, these trick will help. If you buy good quality of meat like a prime rib or a ribeye, these tricks will make a really big difference. You will find it more moist and a very low amount of shrinking which in turn will give you better bang for your buck. 0040

SPECIAL DEDICATION SERVICE IN SOUTHFIELD The Southfield United Church, built in the 1860’s has seen many changes over the years. This was especially so in 1994 when road construction made it necessary to have the church moved. At that time the church was moved back and placed on a basement, which serves as a hall. Also, an extension was added to the back of the building and the interior renovated. As the hall began to be used for suppers and different social times by the community, the congregation realized for safety reasons another entrance/ exit was required. In the spring of 2005, the small but determined congregation set out to raise the funds to see this happen. After many fundraisers, such as suppers, bake sales and raffles, as well as many kind donations from friends and family members of the congregation and a grant from the United Church of Canada, we were very pleased to finally be able to complete the work on the entry last year. This summer a new steel roof was installed. The congregation wants to express their appreciation for the great support
received for fundraisers which helped make this work possible. Also, a new communion set will be presented by the UCW in memory of Hazel Mercer who was an active member of this congregation for many years. It is with pleasure that we will dedicate the new entrance, roof and communion set to the glory of God with a special
Dedication Service & Celebration at the Southfield United Church on Sunday, September 28 at 2:30pm. Speaker will be the Reverend Karen MacNeill and special music will be provided by Marie Short. Refreshments will follow. All are invited to join with the congregation for this special occasion. 3133

Do You Need A Financial Health Check‐up? A recent survey by the Canadian Payroll Association indicated that more than 51% of employed Canadians would find themselves in difficulty if their paycheque were delayed by only one week. In other words, more people are living paycheque to paycheque than ever before. Have you been listening to the advertisements on the radio lately?

quite caught up. Most of our parents and grandparents lived in the same home and had the same jobs all of their lives; today, most adults will change jobs at least 7 times in their career and move many times as well. Pensions used to be a standard benefit with long‐ term employment, now they are virtually a thing of the past. So how is one to survive in this tumultuous economy? Simple – change your way of thinking.
5 No-Brainer Money-Saving Tips Everyone Forgets 1. Ride a Bike (When/If Possible)
Not buying as much gas each week, you’ll save $30 to $40 every week.
2. Skip the High Price Coffee Shops
Coffee has large gap between the price at a coffee shop and the per cup price if you make it at home.
3. Buy Non-Perishable Items in Bulk
Many goods are cheaper when purchased in large quantities.
4. Buy Clothing on Sale
Considering the insane prices for designer jeans, shoes and other apparel, you can rack up massive savings with this step alone.
5. Turn Down the Heat
The recommended winter setting for a thermostat when people are at home is 20 degrees Celsius

Changing times call for changing attitudes. Today, the average family income has not increased as much since 1985 as the price of vehicles, homes, groceries and other necessities have increased. Savings for the average family are almost nonexistent and most will have to try to retire with only the Canada Pension Plan to support them. Institutions and the retail sector have created the easy payment plan, and unfortunately, most Canadians have fallen for this simplicity; you can own just about anything for just one small monthly

payment! If you were to take a hard look at what you are really paying for that item though, you likely wouldn’t buy it. A $1,000 television can be purchased for only $39 per month for 36 months; at 28.8% per annum though, you end up paying a whopping $1,504 for that TV. Had you merely saved $20 per week for a year, you would have been able to pay cash for that TV and saved $500. RRSP’s are also another problem for Canadians; sure, they are a great vehicle for saving for retirement, however, in many instances investing in RRSP’s is a bad idea. If you have significant credit card debt (most cards carry interest in excess of 20% per year) and you are contributing to RRSP’s (earning 5% per annum) you are losing a great deal of money!

How about re‐financing your home to pay down high interest credit card debt? Sure it looks like a great idea at face‐value, but if you do not have the discipline to throw away those credit cards, you will certainly end up in the same position a few years down the road, and in addition to having the credit card debt back, you will have a higher mortgage balance too.

IN THE GARDEN by betty Kennett MORE GROWS IN THE GARDEN THAN THE GARDENER HAS SOWN... Never has a truer word been written than these penned by an unknown writer; of course there are both positive and negative aspects to this reality. I have some magnificent crab apple trees that have grown from fallen fruit and are now well over 20feet high. They produce the most glorious display of blossoms each spring against the backdrop of deep scarlet leaves and an abundance of crimson fruit that produce a truly succulent jelly. Another of the freebies are the brambles that have appeared as I have cleared away overcrowded, uninvited, alders, golden rod and the like; the blackberries now reside in my freezer, ready for mid-winter indulgences. Those fortunate enough to inherit these beauties should make a point of cutting the canes that bore fruit right down to the ground, they
will never bear again and if they are allowed to remain in place will definitely impair the new growth next year. If your resources run to a load of very mature manure or mushroom compost an application of the same around the canes will yield berries of massive proportions, sweet and juicy. As we begin reluctantly to think of the coming of winter it’s a rewarding practice to take some time wandering around the garden and taking a good hike in the woodlands and marshes that we are so blessed to have in our area; all sorts of neat seed pods and fruits from the forest can be garnered for dried flower arrangements and crafts, the available bounty is endless The negative aspects of reaping where you have not sown are apparent in the ‘weed’ type of product, chief amongst the nasties is the clinging burdock; these chaps are the bane of every pet owner as they cling by clusters on even the shortest coat and are a pain for both pet and owner to remove. War needs to be raged on these weeds and the resulting bodies should be
sent to Crane Mountain in the compost bins to be heated to the point where they can no longer reproduce. Despite our best endeavours, many will manage to thwart even the most vigorous eradication methods and will pop up again next spring… not to worry! The young shoots make for very good eating and can be included in stir fries or blanched, with a cream sauce; the young leaves make good eating when used as spinach and even the roots are quite palatable when stripped of their outer casings and fried, these versatile chaps won’t have a chance to produce their irritating seed if the industrious cook keeps on the job! Many very effective medicines have been made from this irritating plant, as with the unsown seed, there’s a good and bad side to almost everything! Enjoy… blessings. 0038 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

POINT OF VIEW COMEDY VERSUS REALITY After a long day of school or work, who doesn't love to snuggle up on the couch and tune in to their favourite television show? At one time, it was pretty easy to pick a show and watch it from start to finish. It likely had something to do with the fact that there were only three channels to choose from – and one of those was French. Nowadays, there are literally hundreds of programs, and any one of a number of devices with which to watch them on. There's no doubt about it, the way we watch television has changed almost as much as what we choose to watch. When I was growing up in the 80's, it was all about the sitcoms (situational comedy), and there were no shortage of great (and funny) shows to choose from. I don't know about you, but I watch television to be entertained. I love to laugh, and it's a great way to relax and unwind. There were just as many great family
by diane McMillan
programs to watch. I can still remember rushing home on Friday nights by 9:00pm so our family could watch The Dukes of Hazzard. My brothers loved anything General Lee and I can remember, more than once, asking my mother to “drive like the Dukes.” Little House on the Prairie was another family favourite, and I have photo evidence to prove that I embraced the bonnet trend. Today, the trend in television programming is reality TV a genre that finds its most valuable content in the editing of shameless displays of unknowns as they willingly part with their privacy and dignity for entertainment purposes. There are a handful of these that I watch and enjoy, simply because they're entertaining. Duck Dynasty, Survivor, The Biggest Loser (all their hard work makes me hungry), The Amazing Race and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (it's like a train wreck – I know I should look away, but I can't). Then, there's the exception to my watching for entertainment rule. I can't bring myself to watch the Kardashian family flaunt their
fame and fortune, with not an ounce of talent to back it up. I guess Kim is famous for a leaked sex tape and her big butt. Yup, that's something to be proud of! Television has evolved and image quality has benefited from new technology. However, I'd trade in my remote control and flat screen in a heartbeat, if it meant more sitcoms and less reality TV. Thankfully, new technology has also meant easy access to all the great sitcoms. When I heard my five-year old nephew recently blurted out, “what you talkin' bout Willis?” I knew all has not been lost. It's only been set aside for the next generation to discover. 0032
REESE: is a small 8 week old short-haired calico. She is playful, mischievous and affectionate (loves to be picked-up and petted).

MUSINGS by debbie Hickey ON REACHING AGE 60: PART 2 A few months ago I wrote about turning 60 and moving into semi-retirement. I spent some time catching up on some long neglected projects, even did some housecleaning (horrors!). Then I started looking around to see what I wanted to do next. I decided that when we got back from vacation I would start looking for a part-time job, because I knew I wasn’t going to be happy for long without something to challenge my brain. Lo and behold an opportunity fell right into my lap . . . and right here in Hampton, too. Actually, what happened is Ossekeag had someone leaving to pursue another opportunity and it was then a question of do I hire for the position or do I go back to working full-time. Well,
that was an easy choice! So here I am. Semi-retirement obviously wasn’t the right fit at this point in my life. I must be way too young yet. Or perhaps, it is that I really enjoy what we do here at Ossekeag Publishing, and I am especially enjoying being more handson than I have been during the last few years. Print advertising is not an easy business to be in these days, but as a valued high school teacher of mine commented recently, nothing really worth doing is easy. Or more eloquently than I can put it: “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. Obviously I am a very lucky person.
