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

FRESH WITH FOOD by dave Wolpin TURKEY TALK As a retailer, I have conformed in almost every way to the turkey tradition. In Canada, 3.1 million whole turkeys are sold at Thanksgiving and we are certainly part of that number. However, perhaps the tradition that supposedly started in 1621 is a little bit outdated. Originally, turkey was only a small part of a meal that included other fowl, seafood, vegetables and fruits. Turkey only became popular after 1800. The truth is, we're not eating the same turkey that the Pilgrims hunted, or our ancestors ate a few generations ago. For the large part, we eat artificially bred broad breasted white turkeys that have such poor genetics that they can drop dead of heart problems at any point. A local turkey farmer always tells me, "they drop dead if you look at them wrong." The world is a different place than it was even a century ago. Raising enough turkey to fill everyone's plates in 1900 is a much different process than raising the millions
of turkeys we expect in 2014. A century ago, turkeys were all raised outdoors and ate unprocessed plant material and bugs. Today, most of our turkeys are raised inside massive barns, never see the light of day and survive on a diet of processed feed with animal by-products, as well as medications to artificially support their immune system so they can stay alive in an environment that would normally kill any living being. In an attempt to make a better situation out of Kredl's turkey sales conformity, I convinced a local turkey farmer to revert to his methods from decades ago to produce a flock of pasture-raised turkeys fed nonmedicated feed. It was a huge success last year and although I ordered way too many, we ended up grinding them and creating a huge demand for ground turkey, which we sold out of in March. However, it would be a huge undertaking to raise millions of turkeys in this way, so why don't we update our traditions? The cornucopia of vegetables we have now in New Brunswick are not available FRESH
For Him,
year-round. For me, a holiday in this season is just an excuse to indulge in the most delicious New Brunswick produce. I am an omnivore and I love meat, but I don't see why a selection of meat has to be the centerpiece of a fine meal. Why can't it revolve around the vegetables? One of my absolute favourite autumn dishes is to simply roast vegetables with olive oil, sea salt, fresh-ground pepper and cayenne pepper. My favourite things to roast are carrots, parsnips, butternut squash, garlic, Brussels sprouts, onions and sweet potatoes. They are delicious, filling and colourful. So this Thanksgiving, consider a meal with only New Brunswick produce. If you want turkey, ham or another hunk of meat, make it a side. Honour the vegetables first, then the meat. 0039 Dave Wolpin Kredl’s Corner Market

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

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

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.
There’s no doubt that summer is over
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.

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

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.

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

FIRE Prevention
Where Would I Get Smoke Alarms? Many hardware, home supply, or general merchandise stores carry smoke alarms. If you are unsure where to buy one in your community, call your local fire department (848-6601 or 848-6602) and they can provide you with some suggestions.
Are Smoke Alarms Hard To Install? If your smoke alarms are hard wired, that is wired into the electrical system, you will need to have a qualified electrician do the initial installation or install replacements. For battery powered smoke alarms, all you will need for installation is a screw driver. For all smoke alarm installations, be sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions because there are differences between the various brands. If you are uncomfortable standing on a ladder, ask
a relative/friend for help, or contact your local fire department station for advice. Helpful Tip When daylight saving time begins and ends is a good time to change batteries in all smoke alarms. If your smoke alarm starts making a “chirping” noise, it is time to replace the batteries.
What Types Of Smoke Alarms Are Available? There are many different brands of smoke alarms available on the market but they fall under two basic types: ionization and photoelectric. Ionization alarms sound more quickly when a flaming, fast moving fire occurs. Photoelectric alarms are quicker at sensing smoldering, smoky fires. There are also combination smoke alarms
that combine ionization and photoelectric into one unit, called dual sensor smoke alarms. Because both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms are better at detecting distinctly different yet potentially fatal fires, and because homeowners cannot predict what type of fire might start in a home, we recommend the installation of both ionization and photoelectric or dual sensor smoke alarms. In addition to the basic types of alarms, there are alarms made to meet the needs of people with hearing disabilities. These alarms may use strobe lights that flash and/or vibrate to assist in alerting those who are unable to hear standard smoke alarms when they sound.

LISTEN IN by Jeff liberty Fog Lit Festival Blows Into Town Oct 1-5 is an exciting time for avid book readers and writers of any level as the wonderful Fog Lit festival blows into town. There will be some exciting events and workshops which are sure to attract all ages and interests. I had the opportunity to e-interview author and “internationally renowned forensic anthropologist Debra Komar is also coming to the festival, here is that chilling and riveting interview. CAUTION – This interview may be disturbing for some Readers! For more info go to http://foglit.com. JL - When did you first want to write your own book(s)? Debra - I loved books as a kid and always knew I wanted to write. When I was in academia, cranking out the textbook and dozens of scholarly articles. When I retired from academia and active service in 2011, I decided the time had come to give it a try and write something for a general audience. The result is the four book series Goose Lane is currently publishing. JL - Is there a case(s) that stands out to you more than any other you have worked on? Debra - Because I did mass death, the number of cases I did was huge (I stopped counting at 6,000 and that was years before I retired). There are some large-scale cases I will never forget - working on the Saddam Hussein trial in Iraq in 200 or testifying at The Hague in the Srebrenica trials. But a lot of smaller cases from when I was at the medical examiner's offices in Edmonton or Albuquerque also stand out. Cases like that may not grab the headlines the way some of the others do, but they are the reason my job was always fascinating. JL - Does music play a role in your work or personal life? (Name maybe 5 songs by which artist if you could.) Debra - That is actually a great question. I did a lot of major deployments for the United Nations and organizations like Physicians for Human Rights. Each one of those
experiences, at least for me, comes with its own soundtrack. War torn countries have little regard for international copyright laws and within days of a military base being established, young local tycoons would set up "record stores" selling bootlegged CDs, DVDs and video games to the troops stationed there. Every disc was a dollar and they managed to get all the latest releases. Sadly, Europe and Southeast Asia tends to favour dance music, so there was a lot of junk and disco but they would produce these strange mix tape disc. For instance, I was in Bosnia
in 1999 and my driver "Fast Eddie" listened to the following CD constantly for six months: 1. Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega; 2. Vida Loca - Ricky Martin; 3. Falling - Alicia Keys; 4. Life during Wartime - Talking Heads; 5. Don't stop till you get enough - Michael Jackson. 0041

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.
The election has come and gone. Regardless of the results, I hope everyone took the few minutes needed to get out there and vote, because “The government is us; we are the government, you and I.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. 0002
