For those living in a cave... a federal election campaign is on!! Unfortunately it will also be one of the longest campaigns in over a hundred years. Oh... GOODY!! Despite the fact that democratic elections are truly important, most pundits are suggesting that we just focus on enjoying the rest of our summer and start to tune in to the election somewhere after Labour Day. Mikie says, “I second that emotion”. Other... simply thrilling news is... “Windows 10 is now available!! Remain calm”. If you are currently using Windows 7 or 8, you can safely keep using them for another 5 plus years and still receive all security updates. If you are currently very happy, relax and do nothing!! If you have noticed, Windows 9 has never arrived. Microsoft has decided that they want people to feel that Win 10 is much different from Win 8. Having purchased a new used computer, I have just downloaded and installed Windows 10 to test it out. For everyone using Win 7 or newer the upgrade is free and for me... trouble free. Be aware, however, if your system has lots of older or unusual software or hardware, the more likely you are to experience problems. Mikie says, “Just like the election,

let Windows 10 simmer for a while.” The free upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 is good for at least one year. Mikie will try and highlight anything about Windows 10 that seems really interesting in a future Ravings. I know!! You are wondering!! Why in heck is Mikie still writing or whatever he calls it?? Well, let’s see. Selling a business is considerably more complicated than finally parting with your 1942 DeSoto!! Anytime that you have to involve bankers and lawyers... well... life just starts to get complicated. On the other hand, it is probably fair to reasonably assure new owners that the property was not a former toxic waste dump. Equally important though, is that we need to spend enough time (likely months) with the new owners to ensure that they are fully familiar with virtually all aspects of the business. So patience please, it won’t be forever that you are stuck with me and the “ole missus”, but it will be for a while yet. 0001

DOLLARS & SENSE BACK TO SCHOOL & Your Money Dare I say that it is already back to school? I know some will be rejoicing, while some of us are wondering what happened to the summer. While September marks the beginning of a new school year and new discoveries through learning, there are ways at home that parents can help increase their child’s financial literacy. Let’s take back to school shopping. You likely have a list from the teacher as well as a list of what did not survive the prior school year intact; this is a great time to sit with your child and determine the budget for what will be spent on these items. Some ideas are: -Scan flyers with your child to determine price and where you will shop. -Prioritize the list from mandatory

items to nice to have items, and have your child make decisions on where their items fit on the list. -Discuss ideas on how you can save on cost. -Set a limit on how much you are willing to spend. Activities such as these give a child an understanding that items have cost and that there are decisions that need to be made when making purchases. You can give additional options of having your child contribute when a need starts to turn into a want. For instance, they need a book bag; an average book bag is $20, they want a themed book bag costing an additional $15. Options that can be given are, you would match cost, or they would need to pay the amount over the cost of an average book bag. The same method used with supplies can also be with clothes for back to school. Make a list of items, estimate cost and then set a budget before you

head out shopping. The key to success is involvement in financial decisions to create awareness that behind that card swipe is not an infinite amount of money. Setting realistic limits in spending will assist children in making future financial decisions and seeing the value in what was purchased. I know life is busy and it can be easier to pick up items on the way home from work, but I do encourage you to start incorporating some of these ideas. The benefits of the financial skills learned from this exercise include budgeting, evaluating needs and wants, savings and decision making. This also opens the opportunity to have discussions on consumerism, credit and financial behaviours. 0005 Tamara Kelly Director of Education Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada

PIC OF THE MONTH Sponsored by: Ossekeag Publishing

Q. Can I have savings if I file for bankruptcy?

Building up savings during the period of a bankruptcy is encouraged. Bankrupts do not have overdrafts and line of credits to pay for emergencies and so must live on a cash basis. Building up cash reserves and savings is important to relieve financial related stress and deal with unexpected expenses. It also is part of the road to recovery.

Filling the Caregiver Gap As the Boomer generation ages, many Canadians are facing the challenges of elder care for their parents and they may also be caring for their own children. So it’s not a surprise that elder care can be difficult and stressful. Still, you will do it willingly – because your parents have always been there for you and now you can be there for them. The questions you have to answer are these: How will you provide the care and support they need without crippling their finances – or yours – should one or both face the need for extended medical support? And how will you provide a potentially intensified level of care over many years without significant physical and emotional consequences? The first answer is long-term care insurance. This is a good solution for those who want to avoid placing the burden for care on a spouse or adult children, and for adult children who want to ensure that parents on fixed incomes will have access to quality long-term care. You may think that services like in-home nursing or personal care are covered by government health plans – but they’re not and relying on government-funded programs can lead to a loss of control. The stay-home partner has little influence over where a loved one will be placed and travel can be difficult and costly. Long-term care insurance bridges the gap by providing financial assistance for ongoing care services in the home, assisted-living setting or long-term care facility. Depending on the type of plan, long-term care funds can be used to pay for eligible services for the person receiving the care or to provide a regular income that can be used for any purpose, including caregiving by family members. The second answer is to protect your physical and emotional health. Long-term care insurance can alleviate financial stress but, as a primary caregiver, you may still stress your mental and physical health to the breaking point over time. If that should happen to you, reach out to a family physician, family members, friends and community support services, or visit caregiver.ca. Then talk to your professional advisor about using long-term care insurance to bridge financial and emotional gaps and protect your family’s well-being.

Whatever your plans, our personalized approach to financial planning can help make them a reality. Let us help you provide for the people you care about... now and over time.

The summer is passing us by quickly and if you haven’t had a chance, or an excuse to get out fishing yet, then I have a great one for you! Coming up on Saturday, August 22 is the Hammond River Classic Fishing Derby. This paddling event, is a non-competitive, fun day geared towards anyone and everyone willing to paddle around the Hammond River and cast a rod. From amateurs to pros, kids to adults, this tournament is for everyone! The Hammond River Classic is put on to help encourage people to try out the sport of kayak and canoe fishing in an environment that offers a ton of support. It also educates people about the diversity of fish in our rivers and raises money for the Hammond River Angling Association. If you need help during the day, just ask others for advice. Unlike competitive events, we encourage everyone to help each other to make everyone’s day as enjoyable as possible! The derby is a multi-species, catchphoto-release format. That means your goal is to catch as many different kinds of fish as you can. You catch a species, take its picture showing a token you receive in the morning, and let the fish go. Then you move on to another species. The size of the fish only comes into play on whatever your biggest fish of the day is, for that fish you are encouraged to use a measuring device so show its length. That size is used then as a tiebreaker. Five small, but different types of fish will place you

higher than 20 big fish of two or three different species. We have collected a lot of great prizes (still looking for more!) to give away at the end of the day, hopefully enough so that everyone will walk home with something they can be happy with. We lay out all the prizes and let first place pick their prize, then second… and so on. The key here, is that we do not front load the prizes so that only the top few get all the good stuff. There is a youth division, intended for kids aged 10 to 16, though younger kids have the option of competing in this division, or fishing for free with a parent. The grand prize, an Old Town Predator XL kayak worth $2000, is going to be given away to one random participant! We are still seeking local companies who would like to help and donate a prize. To donate, ask questions, or anything else feel free to contact me at 847-4809, email at joetilley76@ hotmail.com, or check out our website where you can register online at: nbfishingderbies.com. Cheers. 0044

IN THE GARDEN GARDEN CENTRE SALES This is the time of year when the ‘tail enders’ are on sale at many of the garden centres and the temptations are numerous, however care needs to be taken before giving in to the lure of these bargains. If the plant you are deciding upon is seriously pot bound (seemingly popping out of its container), it might be more trouble than it’s worth, yet with sufficient care and constant watering many of these sale items can be nursed back into worthwhile plants. The first thing to do is to remove them from the pot and let them soak up water in a shaded corner until the jumbled roots can be teased out of their pot like form; a hole twice as wide as the pot they were living in and somewhat deeper needs to be prepared with a good supply of compost and either well rotted manure or a few tablespoons of bone or blood meal placed in the bottom, there should be enough of the compost that the plant,

when placed in the hole, will be at the same level in the new location as it was in the pot; the roots will, with any luck and constant watering, reach out into the new earth to form a good enough root system to withstand the on-coming winter. Even though we have had many overcast days in the past weeks, most locations are desperately in need of rain and weeding has become hard work, akin to digging into concrete, however, there’s a lot of jobs that can be done that don’t require hard labour; keeping the ground under fruiting trees, shrubs and vegetables clear of fallen leaves etc. goes a long way toward discouraging pests to take up residence and the browning leaves of Iris and lilies are ritzy homes for earwig, slugs and the like. Cutting out portions of bushes that show diseased twigs or those that rub together in the wind is a very good practice for preventing damage and most trees/bushes need to be examined for new shoots, that if allowed to grow will not only sap the strength but eventually block out the light and air that are essential for

the health of the plant. Clematis suffer greatly during dry weather and although the foliage and flowers prosper in the sun, they will quickly perish if their feet are not kept cool, so, extra compost and generous watering are essential if the plant is to thrive. Conifers often present unsightly browning during summer and seriously affected branches might well benefit from removal, some are afflicted with spider mites and assorted insects and these can often be dislodged by using a forceful garden hose, they hopefully will be flushed down to ground level and their shocked and stupefied state will make tasty dining for the birds. A good preventive method against browning is to give good spacing between trees.... Blessings! 0038 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

There are two kinds of people in this world: those that care about bullying and those who should care about bullying, because it affects all of us. Maybe some of you out there are saying, I was never bullied, it doesn’t affect me. It does. I don’t remember being bullied that much during my school years, either. Perhaps, I was just so average that there was nothing to pick on me about, or possibly it’s because Caleb is a hard name to create a silly rhyme with or turn into a childish nickname and eight year olds aren’t that clever. Whichever way it was, I got by without too much trouble, but I have friends who didn’t have it so easy, and it seems that their whole life was coloured by those early years when someone hated them for no reason. It’s easy to think that kids will grow up

and forget about it, or that it’ll toughen them up. The voice of their bullies’ jeers come at them from the back of their minds, for what could be decades. To them, bullying wasn’t just a skinned knee on the pavement, it was more like a broken leg from being pushed on the swings. And sometimes, things don’t heal up quite the same way they were. That affects all of us. The kid who grows up to be an adult with no selfconfidence is one less adult living a full life. Perhaps they would have made an excellent diplomat, if they only had the courage to join the debate club and start down that path. Every bullied kid who never takes that first big step puts us all

one step backwards. It’s easy to say that it’s the bully’s fault and be done with it. And the lion’s share of the blame does lie with the bully, but I think there’s a little bit left for anyone who ever saw someone being bullied and could have helped but didn’t. Especially when it’s two children. A child bully may know it’s wrong to bully, but they also know that it might get laughs from the other kids, and to a kid, that feeling of acceptance can be a big reward. Until the risk of getting caught outweighs the reward of being a bully, the bullying is likely to continue. There are some warning signs to watch for if you think your kid might be a classroom bully. It can be hard to accept that your child might be a bully, but if you know what to look for you might be able to get ahead of the problem and stop it before it gains momentum. If you’re having trouble deciding if your child is a bully, then try to decide if you think their friends seem like bullies to you. The cliche, birds of a feather flock together, might just hold true in these situations, and evaluating your child’s friends might give you the room you need to be objective. Bullies, often have low self esteem, and can become obsessed with popularity at school. The drive to be with the right crowd can lead them to bully others who they see as being different or “weird” to gain acceptance and popularity. Kids who are being bullied also suffer from low self esteem, but instead of being violent and angry, these kids seem sad and depressed, frequently wanting to be alone. Bullied children will often suffer from headaches and stomach aches, and will try to feign an illness to stay home from school. These days though, bullying isn’t just in the classroom. If you noticed a marked changed in your child’s behaviour after using the computer or telephone, they may be a victim of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying happens when someone stalks others on the internet, or calls them at home, and berates them, either publicly or privately. This type of verbal abuse can be harder to detect as it doesn’t leave any bumps or bruises, but it’s just as damaging. Who knows what each child is capable of if we only set them free on the world without a bag of stones to carry. Caleb Burns August 18th - August 31st, 2015

ASK THE CHEF THE CHILL ON BERRIES Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week we were talking about the best way to freeze berries. Berries are something New Brunswick has a lot of but such a small season for each. It would be great to have fresh local berries all year round but that is not possible. So what is the next best thing? Well frozen berries would be but it is not the same. By freezing berries, we change the structure of the berry and once they thaw, they become flat and a lot of the water comes out of them. So what can we do to fix this? Well nothing but we can try a few things to improve them. The worst thing to do when freezing berries is to just throw them in a bag, tie it tight and freeze. This will give you a big ball of berries and the only thing you can do is make a pie, jam or sauce

with it. What I do is a long process but works much better. I take my berries and I lay them out on a baking sheet so that they are not touching each other. I freeze them as quickly as possible. Once they are frozen, I immediately place them in a bag and back into the freezer they go. This way each berry keeps its shape and does not leak as much water. If you only need part of the bag, this method will allow you to remove some and not all. The integrity of the berry weakens and appears to be more like a bruised berry. This will happen no matter what but you can now use these berries in cereal, on a parfait, in your yogurt and even top a dessert with it. Another trick you can do is when you are placing your frozen berries into the bag is to give them a dusting of sugar. Only thing to remember with this is that you have already added some sugar and you would need to know the application which you will be using for these berries. This allows the berries to

come apart more easily. You can also use a blast freezer. This will freeze your berries in a matter of minutes, but is an improvement over the previous method because the integrity of the berry isn’t as effected. Now you can always just go and buy a half pint of American or Mexican berries at the store all year round, which have been gas ripened, and lacking in any berry flavour, for $5.99 or take some time and preserve as much local berries as possible, so you can enjoy them all year long. 0040

POINT OF VIEW BACK TO SCHOOL Fear not, little people, for I have great news. Your long days of boredom, too much sun and sleep-ins are almost over. Let's flash those pearly whites and say it together now – BACK TO SCHOOL! Yes, that's right. In a few short weeks, our wallets will be empty and our precious little bundles of joy will be packing up their book bags and heading off to a whole new world of structured learning – many for the very first time. With a daughter entering Grade 10 and twin step-sons off to Grade 11, I feel like a bit of an old pro at this back to school business. There are no tears (at least not from me), and aside from the dreaded lunch making ritual, it's really a joyful time. It's also nice to get back into a routine, no matter how hectic. For parents of first time students, however, it can be a bit stressful. You'll likely question yourselves about whether you've done everything you

can to prepare your child for his or her first real taste of independence. The fact is that you can't be there to do everything for them, but you can teach them how to do things for themselves. Something as simple as being able to go to the bathroom by themselves (bum wiping included), builds their confidence and allows teachers to focus on the fun of learning. To that end, I asked my teacher friends for any advice they might have for parents who are new to the school experience. Here are a just a few great tips to think about and use. Don't send shoes with laces if they can't tie. Have your child practice opening lunch containers, zipping zippers and buttoning buttons. Always keep extra socks and mittens in your child's book bag, and make sure they are dressed for the weather. Having your child pack their book bag at night avoids chaos in the morning. Send oranges already peeled or cut up. Practice holding a pencil, printing

their name and using scissors. Make sure your child knows your names (not just Mom and Dad), phone number, bus number and the area where they live. Teach them to blow their own nose (all teachers will thank you for that). Have school supplies ready for use on the first day and try to do homework right away (before electronics/play). Most importantly, let your child know that you and their teacher are a team who both want the best for them. “It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings” - Ann Landers. 0032

LIVE WELL MAKING PEACE WITH YOUR PAST Have you ever over-reacted at work or in a personal situation to something someone said or did, and then found yourself at a loss as to why you became so upset? Part of the reason is because many of our current relationship issues, feelings, traits and behaviours are actually greatly shaped by past life events. The truth is, our past will keep affecting our future until we become aware that the two are connected. Gentle Path Counselling Services is offering a oneday workshop for adults who have struggled with anger, fear and resentment as a result of an unhappy childhood, failed relationships or a past history of abuse, disappointments or hurt.

It is not always easy to let go of one’s past or to make peace with experiences that wounded us or left us wondering, “Why is this happening to me?” Sometimes what helps is to embrace our story for what it is and for what it can teach us. It is not always an easy task, but it is one that can teach us great wisdom. You are invited to come to this oneday workshop where your heart will be given the chance to speak, and where you can find a new way of making peace with your past, on Friday, October 30 from 9:30am to 4:00pm at Church of the Good Shepherd (small hall); 668 Manawagonish Road. Cost is $65, which includes two nutrition breaks

and a light lunch. The facilitator of this event is Michel Drisdelle, BA., B.Th., M.A. (Counseling Psychotherapist). Born in HauteAboujagane, New Brunswick, Michel Drisdelle completed the preparatory work leading to a PhD in psychology at the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium.

LISTEN IN SONGSTRESS SOARS I love following the growth and development of a talented local artist! The area’s Arpryll Aileen is just that and more! She is not only a singer/songwriter pianist on the rise but she also seems to be quite music biz savvy, understanding that you need to have a vision and bring it all together. She also works really hard honing her craft! “I remember writing down, when I was 5 or 6 in a time capsule, the things I wanted to be when I "grew up". On that list, I wrote: rock star, astronaut and/ or veterinarian. When I was that age, I danced like no one was looking & didn't care what people thought of my vocal abilities. At some point though, I started to care and stopped singing - it actually became my biggest fear. Funny how it took so many years for me to come back full circle and realize that 5 year old me knew the answers all along.” Apryll enthusiastically tells when answering

what were her earliest memories of wanting to be a musician and songwriter. “Songwriting & writing comes first nature to me - I've kept a journal since I can remember (and actually have all of them to date”. She elaborates on the creative process. I have always been intrigued in solo female songwriters. My first music business gig was working with Alanis Morisette’s first manager in Ottawa. I think that is where it started. That and other females pop stars including Madonna, Cyndi Lauper to name a few. “In my late teenage years, I really connected with Chantal Kreviazuk and Sarah McLachlan's music”. Apryll says in expanding on her own earlier musical influences. I wanted to know how she felt her individual music and vision would fit into today’s music business model? Tough one I know! “This is a great question, the vibe of the album is very uplifting and sounds like Norah Jones teamed up with Grace Potter

and hired the Dave Matthews Band to jam out in the studio! Haha”. “I've been describing it to people as a soulful pop genre. The song "Butterflies" that I wrote for Cayman Grant's short film "Butterflies" will be featured on the album - this song started my musical relationship with Producer Kenny Munshaw in Toronto. He has lent his production knowledge to the album and I can't wait to share it with you in the Fall!” Saint John has been an integral part of my music career - it has given me a launch pad to grow and develop who I am as an artist. I would very much like to represent my community on a global scale.” Maybe I (We) are in the midst of the next “Alanis”? Only this time it’s Apryll! 0041

HAMPTON 5-MILER: SPONSORING FITNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY The Hampton 5 Miler, which takes place on Sunday, September 13, is actually three events - not just one. At 9:00am, there is a Kids’ Kilometre Fun Run for children 12 years old and younger, and 9:55 is the start time for the Three-forMe 3 km run for youth 16 years old and younger. Kids’ K and 3k participants receive a T-shirt, a running bib, a Subway coupon and they are invited to the free light lunch that takes place after the 5 -Miler. The “kids” also receive a participation medal and a popsicle after their run! The 5-Miler, which is recognized as one of the premier running events in the Maritimes, begins at 10:00am. For more info, check out: hamptonriverrunners.ca website. Register online at: runningroom. com or atlanticchip.ca. Despite the low registration fee and the fact that the Hampton 5-Miler was never intended to make a profit, the event has indeed raised some money, all of which has been returned to the Hampton

community to promote sports and fitness. Here are some examples of recent Hampton River Runner group donations of 5-Miler dollars: Hampton High School - $1500 for gym equipment; Hampton Middle School - $1500 for indoor hockey equipment; Hampton Elementary School - $1500 for gymnastics equipment; Dr AT Leatherbarrow Primary - $1500 for playground maintenance and PE equipment; Hampton Soccer Club $2000 for soccer field drainage repairs; Hampton Resource Centre - $3000 for seniors’ fitness classes. So come and walk, jog or run at this year’s 5-Miler. You’ll have a great time, and will be helping to support healthy Hampton lifestyles.

MUSINGS SO THE ELECTION IS ON Big surprise, right? And right now we are all in summer, kick-back and relax mode with politics about as far on the back burner as it can get. Not to worry, you will have plenty of time come September to give your head a shake and tune in to the issues. I do not consider myself a “political” person. I have no party affiliation and over my lifetime I have voted for a variety candidates from a variety of parties, both federally and provincially. But I have always voted. It amazes me that so many people do not vote, seeming to think their one vote won’t matter. Over the last five federal elections since 2000 the average voter turnout has been in the area of 62% (Elections Canada website). That means out of 10 of your family, friends and neighbours, four did not

vote. That is a HUGE number, and yes your one vote, when combined with all those other missing votes, could make a HUGE difference. So don’t cut short your summer mode, summer is over way too soon anyway. But please do take some time during those 6 weeks before the election (which is more than enough time) to listen to what the different parties are planning for the country. Give a little thought to what is important to you. Got an opinion on the Senate? Who is going to do something about it? Is the environment important to you? What party comes closest to your point of view? Perhaps you dislike the whole system and would like a chance to vote for the prime minister separate from the local candidate. Who is looking at parliamentary reform? What I really dislike though are the so called “attack ads”. I am not interested in why someone feels their opponent is the wrong choice. What I want to

know is what they are planning to do for our country that would make them the right choice. Because whoever we elect (and it is us who make that choice) we can expect to have for 4 years, so it would be wise for us each to make an effort to decide what is important to us and our families and our communities and take a few minutes to vote. See you at the polls. “Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” ~ Abraham Lincoln. 0002
