Hypocrisy - “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.” (Google) You may or may not have seen Mr. Jim Irving, (co-CEO of J D Irving Limited) in various interviews defending the companies forest management practices. The easiest way to locate a couple of these interviews is to simply do a google search for “interviews with Jim Irving”. When you hear, watch or read any of the interviews, he comes across as a man who is deeply committed to doing what is right in the forest and doing no harm to the environment. So one wonders if this is a great act or if in fact he “walks the talk”. Now in one interview Mr Irving stated: “J.D. Irving has been operating a scientific research group for 15 years with six people holding doctorate degrees and a dozen graduate students hired annually for summer employment.” What he did not state was this group apparently was not consulted with at all in regard to the new harvesting plan!! According to one of the PhDs interviewed, the company will listen to them but would not follow any advice that harmed the bottom line. I would suggest, if at all possible, you view the video (episode 6) at “Is our forest really ours” (isourforestreallyours. com) but I will highlight some of the key points. The video documents clear cutting that occurs around cottages that have been built on small parcels of
crown land. Then the video takes us to a view of the Irving fishing lodge on the Restigouche River. Now according to the video producer, Charles Thériault, hundreds of acres surrounding the lodge is designated protected land. What this appears to mean is that one of the provinces leading practitioners of clear cutting and protector of our crown lands, appears to be saying that what is good enough for the rest of New Brunswickers just isn’t good enough for their family. While there is no evidence that the Irvings somehow manipulated the selection of surrounding forest to be protected, out of 3.4 million hectares of crown land, the idea that several hundred hectares was randomly selected around their lodge, does stretch one’s credibility. Reputable news agencies may wish to ask Mr Irving to clarify if their forest management policies only apply to the rest of us, but “not in my backyard”????? This would make a great investigative topic by the Telegraph Journal. We have been assured that they have editorial independence, but do they also have job security???? 0001

Up, Up & Away by ellen tucker WOW! A WORLD CRUISE! Have you dreamed of taking a world cruise, but dismissed the idea as beyond your financial reach? Well, you might be pleasantly surprised, because the per diem cost is often more reasonable than for shorter cruises. Most world cruises start from Southampton, UK, New York or Los Angeles, and many include airfare from your home city to the departure port, and return to your home from the last port. More cruise lines are scheduling world cruises recently, because they are increasingly popular. Crystal’s 2015 world cruise is already sold out, and they are booking for 2016. Oceania has now added a world cruise. Regent does Grand Voyages for 62, 71 and 86 nights. The most famous world cruise ships are the Cunard Queens, and each one does a World Cruise. In 2015, Cunard will commemorate the 175th anniversary of the company’s founding, and the planned global voyages will celebrate this milestone
in style. This festive time will herald several Cunard Royal Rendezvous events during the World Voyage itineraries: Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth will depart Southampton together on 10 January 2015. On 12 March 2015 Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria will meet in Sydney, Australia, and on 3 May 2015 all three Queens will return from their World Voyages to Southampton. Cunard’s 2015 World Voyages and Exotic Cruises Programs feature voyages ranging from eight to 127 days aboard Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. Passengers will have the option to combine itineraries into and out of Sydney, Australia across two ocean liners, and to create customized World Voyage options with a land portion in between. Passengers will also have the opportunity to visit South Africa, the South Pacific, to circumnavigate Australia, and to discover the excitement of Japan and Southeast Asia. Altogether, the ships will visit 82 unique destinations in 46 countries, from major cities to less frequented locales. With four maiden calls and an enhanced
East-West loop that includes New Zealand, flagship Queen Mary 2 kicks off her exciting 113-night World Voyage from Southampton, on the way to 38 ports of call in 21 countries. For an idea of the cost, the Queen Mary 2 fares start at $21,998 for an inside stateroom, which is $195 per day. If you book as soon as the cruises are announced there are substantial discounts. If you wish to book for 2015 there are still some incentives, such as upgrades from ocean-view to balcony staterooms, and complimentary gratuities. Those are substantial benefits. So, if this has piqued your interest about a world cruise, my best advice is to book early. Cunard will soon announce their itineraries for the 2016 World Cruises. 0043

HAMPTON HURRICANES BRING HOME SILVER After winning the Provincial Jr. C title for the second year in a row, the Hampton Hurricanes were off to Liverpool, Nova Scotia to defend their Maritime Hockey North Championship. After a record of 2–1–1 in round robin play, the Hurricanes would again face off against Hockey North, represented by the Kivalliq Canucks in the semi-final, the same team they tied 2–2 in the round robin. This had to be the game of the tournament. It became a goaltenders nightmare, with both teams firing 50 shots at each others net in a wide open, fast paced game. Hampton managed to score the extra goal for a 6–5 win to move on to the Championship Final. In the Championship Game on Sunday afternoon the Hurricanes were up against the Nova Scotia Champions, the Spryfield Silver/Black Attack, who would notch an empty net goal for a 3–1 win to secure the Atlantic title. Besides being able to defend the title and return home with the silver medal, two Hurricanes were named as First Line

LISTeN IN by Jeff Liberty “MIDSUMMER MADNESS” Summertime is around the corner and music will be in the open air. Around the Maritimes there are so many great festivals of every genre and music is always best in a live setting. I wanted to let all you music loving readers of ours know about a festival right here on the Beautiful Kingston Peninsula. The Peninsula is an amazing place to be anytime so this music event should be part of your places to be this summer! The festival I speak of is “Midsummer Madness” happening June 20, 21 & 22 and it has a lot of artists you may have heard of and some really amazing new gems to discover. I had the privilege of asking, via e-mail, the festivals’ head honcho and curator Tim Turner about the festival and its marvelous location the “Shakedown Ranch”. “Midsummer Madness Summer Solstice is a celebration to welcome summer and to have fun” Tim says in telling me about
how the festival came to be. Jeff: What are the challenges and preparations that goes into a festival of this scale? Tim: “It takes roughly 10 months of booking prepping and planning to do an event of this magnitude but after years of experience, doing events we have mastered the art of making it flow so all patrons can enjoy the festival experience”. Jeff: What are some of the new artists you're excited of hosting this year? Tim: We are excited “That 1 Guy” and “Dj Dan” are on the bill. We have been trying to bring them to Shakedown Ranch for years now, as well Slowcoaster and new local acts like Apollo Astronauts and The Torino’s. It gives the festival goers a chance to checkout international artists as well as support and debut local talent”. Jeff: What would you tell someone who is on the fence about going to the festival. Why should they be there? Tim: “If you haven't had the privilege to absorb all that Shakedown Ranch has to offer or if you're "still on the fence". Ask anyone that has been to an event at
the ranch and they will tell you the same thing GO and absorb the positive vibes the ranch has to offer”. “It’s 3 days, 3 nights, 3 stages, and 30 acres with the most creative show seen in New Brunswick” With over 40 musical artists, DJs, a drum circle, a vendor’s village, yoga, belly dancing, camping and much more all on the beautiful Kingston Peninsula you don’t want to miss a beat! They also are equipped with public washrooms, power, and a canteen. More info at: shakedownranch.com We have a pair of tickets to give away to the festival! Just answer this question (What is the name of Slowcoaster’s current album?) and send it via e-mail to contest@ossekeag.ca, subject: Shakedown Ranch. Good Luck! 0041

BARBERSHOPPER OF THE YEAR Sea Belles' Chorus recently held a weekend music retreat with Singing Judge, Wendy McCoole in preparation for the upcoming Area 1 (Atlantic) Convention and Contest. The highlight of the final evening was the presentation of the Barbershopper of the Year Award. Each year the chorus members secretly vote on who they feel has given the most of their time and energy to promote the chorus in many different ways. The recipient of this year's Barbershopper of the Year award is Marilyn Hickman, a 29-year member of the chorus and Harmony, Incorporated. The award was presented by Margie Fife for Janet Kidd, last year's recipient of the award, who was unable to attend the celebration. "Winning Barbershopper of the Year was unbelievable for me!" stated Ms. Hickman, who has been Assistant Director for the chorus for the past 15 years. "I was very surprised as there are so many deserving girls of this award. I am truly honoured to have been chosen. It is a wonderful feeling as you are chosen from the membership. To know that you are appreciated in this way is truly awesome," added Hickman. During this weekend retreat, new Chorus officers were also installed, including Tracey Harkins, President; Debbie Sabean,Vice President; Brenda Smith, Treasurer; Charlene Richard, Secretary and Board members Margie Mazerolle, Hazel Alexander, Heather Devlin, Helen LeForte, Vangie Mofford and Jane Trites.

geT FReSH WITH FooD HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT: I was having a conversation with Greg Daggett, about the future and how we want to operate this business. That applies to both Kredl's and Dave's Produce Packs, I told him that my ultimate goal is to put myself out of business. I would have no trouble finding other ways to provide for myself. Before my incredible staff disown me for that last sentence, let me tell you where I am going with this. My goal is to hopefully inspire people to grow their own food. By educating our community about the importance of having your food source close to home, the reliance on other food sources should diminish. If everyone could just grow their own food or even some of it, I could relax and take a few days off ;). So how can you grow your own food? If you have even a small piece of ground that gets a respectable amount of sunlight, you first need to rip up the lawn. If you
don't have that, community gardens are everywhere, so go rent a plot. It is always a good idea to scoop some dirt from all corners and the centre of the plot and take it to the co-op for a soil test. If you can't be bothered, just buy compost or well-rotted manure and mix it into the topsoil. If there isn't much, buy some top soil too. Your best value is to use a truck and buy it by the tractor scoop. You also need to add lime, which sweetens the soil and raises your PH. The ideal PH for most vegetables is between 6.5 and 7. It is an exponential scale, so 5.8 won’t do. Adding 15 pounds of lime for every 100 square feet would be a good rule of thumb. Lime takes at least six months to activate, so don't be disappointed if your first year isn't phenomenal. If your soil is really sandy, it doesn't hurt to add peat moss, but peat moss is acidic, which lowers your PH, so if you add any, add more lime too. You cannot over-lime. I strongly encourage you to avoid chemical fertilizer, which is NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Compost is a great source of nitrogen.
by Dave Wolpin
I also recommend pelleted chicken manure, any other well-composted manure and worm castings. These can also be applied by top-dressing or making a manure tea and pouring it around your plants. Phosphorus can be fed to your plants in the form of rock phosphate, bone meal, fish meal and wood ash from your fireplace or stove. Potassium can be accessed from K-Mag (can be bought at co-op), wood ash, greensand (I can get) and seaweed meal, which you can make yourself. Once you have concocted this harmony of dirt, you need to add to it each year and/or test your soil and just add what it calls for. Now, I will add one addendum, a very important one; read my next column to find out… 0039

ASk THe CHeF FIDDLEHEADS Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to a great question while we are still waiting for spring to begin. Every spring, New Brunswickers wait for the harvest of fiddleheads. Fiddleheads are an edible fern that grow along river beds and are found all along the Saint John River Valley. These ferns are picked before they open. Once they open, they are no longer edible and this is why the season is so short. Fiddleheads are a great antioxidant and are high in fatty acids, omega 3, omega 6 and are high in iron. Fiddleheads get their name from the shape’s resemblance to head of string instruments. Cooking fiddleheads properly is very important as they can make you sick if done incorrectly. Because fiddleheads are a fern, they act as an air filter and collect toxins from the air. It is suggested that we not only boil fiddleheads once, but twice with new water. The best way to do
this is to blanch your fiddleheads. This is the process of boiling them until almost cooked, then plunging them into ice water. This will stop the cooking process, preserve the vitamins and keeping the bright green colour. To finish them, bring new water to a boil, add your blanched fiddleheads and bring them back to a boil for about a minute. Blanching your fiddleheads prior to freezing is the best way to preserve them so you can enjoy them all year round. As New Brunswickers, the most popular way to enjoy fiddleheads is to boil them, toss them in butter, salt and pepper. Here are a few other ways to enjoy them. I like to take the blanched fiddleheads and make a salad with them. Toss your fiddleheads with onions, shredded carrots, tomatoes and cucumber with an oil based dressing like Italian to create a great starter to your meal. As a vegetable, I like to take my blanched Fiddleheads and sauté them in a pan with diced onions, chopped bacon and a strong vinegar. The last way I will suggest is to make a Fiddleheads chowder. Add your Fiddleheads to a vegetable stock

Finish it off with some seasoning and maybe something something else to make it your own: diced chicken, diced ham, a different vegetable like parsnips or turnips. Every year at this time I like to use Fiddleheads as much as possible at Holly’s. This is one of New Brunswick’s greatest products and we will be trying to incorporate them as much as possible on our different buffets and as vegetable of the day. Stop by to see some different ways we are using them and if you have a recipe you enjoy, let us know. We are always looking for new ways to enjoy this New Brunswick treasure. 0040

MUSINgS by Debbie Hickey I’D RATHER BE A CAT A few days ago I made the difficult decision to take one of our cats on that final trip to the vet. She was sixteen, a pretty good age for a cat, and had been failing for the last few weeks. I had hoped she could go quietly in her own home, but as she grew obviously more uncomfortable it became apparent that was not going to be. She was never fond of the crate, and even less fond of the car (unlike dogs, car trips for cats are rarely something to look forward to), so it was not the way I had hoped things would end for her. When the short trip in the car looked to be less traumatic for her than the continuing discomfort she was in, the choice became obvious. She was very well treated and slipped away peacefully. A much preferred end to how it was playing out. The debate on assisted suicide has
recently been back in the news, with many good points to be made by those who are concerned for the rights and well-being of those with mental and physical challenges. For myself, though, I would far rather have the option to go as easily as did my beloved pet if the alternative is to continue in pain, confined to a hospital bed and with no hope that this is going to improve and will lead to its inevitable end anyway. If my mind is gone and I no longer recognize my family, or even myself, do I really want to continue because my body is too darn stubborn to shut down? Yes, there must be safeguards for those who cannot speak for themselves. But is it fair to those who would choose this gentle alternative to be denied that option? Those who are still well enough can perhaps find ways to end their lives, but having access to the medications that would make it as easy as
it was for my cat is unlikely under current legislation. How sad. Thanks for sharing sixteen years with us, Miss Em. “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” ~ Robert A. Heinlein. 0002
