“Well hi there everybody, this here is The Jet writing on behalf of old meat-head.” For new readers, I am a large black lab and that Mikie feller belongs to me. Let me say that looking after that immature old guy is a big job... even for a big dog!!! I have been trying for years now, as an example, to enlarge his vocabulary. After more than 7 years, he can only say about 3 words... “git... stay... sit”. One of the cats whispered to me some time ago that this guy is supposed to be educated, but frankly, I don’t think he is ready for kindergarten quite yet. Now... he was nice and we went to see my friends at that vet place just a few days ago. Unlike old meat-head, I hear actual phrases like “What a handsome boy” and so on. I blushed almost as much from all of the compliments, as I did when they checked my.... er... temperature. Then they give me what they call needles, but I don’t even notice because they are also giving me treats. And, that’s another bone to pick. No... wait... he doesn’t give me any bones. I have been trying for years now to explain the word “treat” to him, but the guy is thicker than old growth Hemlock. Fortunately, the old guy recently went away for a few days on vacation and I got to go to “Grammy Camp”!! Now, that nice lady knows how to “treat” a big dog, and yes, the pun was intended. Unlike the old feller... I have a sense of humour, which is much needed living with him, especially now. At that vet place, they also get you to sit or stand on this scale thing and I can hear him suck in his breath when the nice young lady say “98 pounds”. Since then, I can see him practically counting out the kibble. He hasn’t said much, probably due to his limited vocabulary, but I know when someone is trying to cheat me of what are my just desserts! Yea, yea, pun intended. Well... so long for now and if you happen to run into that Mike feller, give him a good kick in the pants from me. 0002 Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

ASK MARY DID YOU EVER WANT TO STOP… TO NOT GO ON? My heart immediately hurts for you and my mind immediately went back to the cold, lonely and heartbreaking place where you are now. I remember every detail of that place and I want you to know that you are not the only one who has felt that way. For all of you who’ve been there… For all of you who are there right now… You are not alone. You think that you cannot feel like this for one more moment… let alone for the next 20 years or more. You want the pain to stop and it doesn’t matter who might be left behind or how it might affect them. You may even think that they’ll be better off to be done with you and your grief. I get that. I understand that like I never, ever did… or could… “before”. You may not believe this but I want to tell you. You matter - Your existence matters. To not survive means leaving behind an emptiness that will shatter others into

a million tiny pieces that can never be put together again. They have already lost one of the most important people in their lives. They cannot lose another. No matter how distressed you are. No matter how much you are grieving each and every day. You Matter. And… this is the most important thing I can tell you… You will not always feel this way. I promise. I hope that you can trust me. Your days will not always be this dark. His death will not always be the first thought you have when you open your eyes in the morning. Her absence will not always be the last thought you have before you fall asleep at night. Your pain will not always be this intense, this suffocating, this loss of all joy. Don’t turn the grief you feel against yourself. Find a safe way to release your pain: call a friend, yell, cry, or turn to your faith. Some suicidal thoughts can be a natural symptom of grief but

there is no need to act on them. If you fear that these thoughts are getting out of hand, seek professional help at once. Do whatever you can… whatever it takes… to help yourself breathe in life… because you matter. So just keep going - one breath at a time. Please email me your questions: mary@ 0016 thesisterhoodofwidows.com.

FAMILY MATTERS QUIET TIME HAS ITS BENEFITS Our children live in a society that is fast paced and always on the go. By the time our kids play with their friends, complete homework and fulfill their other many commitments, there is hardly any time for them to spend quietly and in calm. What is Quiet Time? Quiet time is a form of self-care that doesn’t involve over-stimulating the mind or sensory system. It is a critical part of growth and development. Best done in the absence of electronics, children can engage in age appropriate activities that include playing Lego, coloring, crafts, puzzles, journaling or meditating. Quiet time is a chance for kids to rest 3.55 x4.78 inches and enjoy activities that require reflection and self-direction. It teaches children to manage their restlessness and boredom. There are quite a few reasons to do daily quiet times. While parental sanity is one of the reasons, it’s not the only reason. Here are some important benefits of quiet time: 1. Builds Independence and Confidence.

Quiet time allows kids to explore various opportunities requiring self-reliance. When children are alone, they are given the chance to solve problems on their own. This is vital to building selfconfidence. 2. Time for Self-Reflection. Journaling or meditation during quiet time often results in self-reflection and developing feelings of gratitude. When our children are continuously busy with outside activities it’s hard for them to reflect on what they have and appreciate it. 3. Builds Creativity. It is in quiet time that children experience creative thinking. Kids disconnect from external noise when alone and are better able to reconnect with their ideas and dreams distraction free. 4. Relaxation Time. Overstimulation can cause stress in anyone, including our kids. Children however, have a tougher time pinpointing their stressors. Regular quiet time allows for re-energizing, reorganization of thoughts and time away

from their stressors. 5. Strengthens Focus and Attention. When kids slow down and engage in one activity at a time, they develop their ability to focus and concentrate. To strengthen their ability to focus and attend, children need practice. Concentration is best built by avoiding multi-tasking and during regular alone time. To make quiet time work for your family avoid using it as punishment, define a specific space, start it at an early age and use it consistency. This week enjoy the parenting journey and a little quiet time. 0006

IN THE GARDEN THE GOODNESS OF RAIN Why try to explain miracles to your children when you can just have them plant a garden. ~ Robert Brault. Hats off to the community gardeners who have encouraged some fortunate children to enjoy the results of growing their own food and having fun at the same time. The gardens have done extremely well despite the scarcity of water; indeed, I was just about ready to call it a day with ground as hard and dry as rock, when the heavens delivered a goodly amount of rain and my enthusiasm was restored. Gardening is no sport for the impatient and it’s to be hoped that lawns which turned brown will eventually recover! Much can be done whilst the earth is moist; many of the spring flowers will benefit with division and replanting in a new location; revitalised with a good mix of compost, manure, bone meal and fresh earth they can be dotted around the border and the results will be astonishing. Being left in the same place over many

years tends to slow up the growth and a move has the effect of a good summer holiday, refreshment and restoration! Blood meal can also be used in place of bone meal and it has the advantage, at least until the plant is on the go again, to repel deer as well as being good for growth. This year has been surprisingly good for the fruit crop and bumper crops have been recorded; however with this bounty comes the need to clean up all the fallen fruit. When left on the ground it encourages undesirable insects to winter over and next year’s crop will be sadly diminished. The daylilies are nearing their end and will benefit greatly if the dead and discoloured leaves are pulled from the plant, not only improving the look of the garden, but also removing habitat for the pesky earwigs that seem to have flourished in the dry summer. One efficient way of dealing with these blighters is to simply

lay a piece of pipe, roll of cardboard or newspaper on the ground overnight, into which they will crawl; in the morning; arm yourself with a bucket of water and the beasties can be tipped into a watery grave. They can also be dispatched with a strong dose of insecticidal soap, (or the famous mixture of dish detergent and water). It is a wise practice at this time of year to take pictures or make a sketch of where things are growing and where you plan to put the spring bulbs. This simple act takes the guesswork out of where it is safe to dig come spring and will save lives! Blessings. 0045

OBITUARIES

MORRIS, Margaret “Ann” It is with sadness that the family of Margaret “Ann” Morris, of Hampton NB, wife of Ian Morris announces her death which occurred on Tuesday, August 16 2016 at her residence. Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka on January 12, 1948 she was the daughter of the late John and Winnifred (Lindsey-White) Thomson. Ann went through boarding school in Scotland at a young age and then continued into nursing and midwifery as she grew older. She emigrated in 1976 with her husband and eldest son to Canada, a land she came to know as home. First settling in Ontario, Ann

gave her all to loving and supporting her family. She raised her two sons with care and compassion and taught them to be independent, honourable and trustworthy. Moving to New Brunswick in 1986, Ann worked parttime in the Cytology Department at the Saint John Regional Hospital where she became known as “The English Lady” with her favourite phrase being “Bloody Hell”. Through her life Ann supported and accompanied her husband as he worked in Germany, the UK and the USA after the Frigate program wound down; she was the rock who helped out in every way she could during these travels. Ann was the most loyal and selfless of people and in the words of a close friend, “Ann was a most remarkable lady”. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. Ann is survived by her loving husband Ian Morris of 44 years; sons Steve Morris (Angela Davis) of Quispamsis NB, and Chris Morris of Red Deer AB; and brother Mark (Beth) Thomson of North Carolina US. Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton NB, and will be privately held. Interment will take place at a later date. Donations in memory of Ann may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society or to the memorial of donor’s choice. Personal condolences to the family and donations may be 0007 made through ReidsFH.com.

LISTEN IN SONGBIRD OF THE CITY I was a fan of Debbie Harrity’s voice before I actually met her. When I was producing a live Christmas recording in 2009 she was one of the artists I knew I needed on the CD. Harrity's voice is the sound of purity and joy with an ease that is reminiscent of Anne Murray. If you haven't heard her make a point of capturing her live soon. I caught up with Debbie just as she was heading out to a rehearsal. I was curious about how she started off in music, performing and where she drew inspiration from. “I started playing guitar at 14 yrs old and writing songs at 16. My parents and close friends were very instrumental and encouraging of me to pursue my passion of music, singing and playing guitar. My mom told me when she was carrying me before birth she would play the piano and pray that God would give me the gift of music. When starting out, the Irish Rovers were a

huge influence on my music and then of course Anne Murray, Joan Baez and Linda Ronstadt.” Debbie performs her music on her own terms and is in a great position at this time of her life (she recently retired) to perform from a very honest place. “My goals today are to pursue music for the joy of performing, to meet new people and entertain to the best of my ability when I want and where I choose to play." “I want to give back to my community and offer my singing in a therapeutic way which I find very fulfilling. The senior homes are one way in which I do this as well as many fundraising concerts throughout the year.” Debbie has even lent her talent to my mental health awareness initiatives events. I can certainly attest first hand on how she has really been gracious and selfless with both her time and talent. And her musical friends are no different. I know now you need to know the

same thing I do. Where does she perform next? “My upcoming shows include one titled Heart and Harmony with Carol Perry and Bev Dean backed by the amazing Del Worden, Mike Frontin and Paul DuJohn. This is taking place September 18 at the Luxor Shriners of NB on Mclaughlin Crescent. Tickets for this show are sold in advance and by the musicians only. I also sing weekly at Lily's Cafe on Saturday nights which is a lovely venue. Most Wednesday nights I’m at East Coast Pub with other musicians at an Open Mic Night.” Edited for space, see Jeff ’s full article at: ossekeag.ca. 0041

ASK THE CHEF BISCUIT SECRETS Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I have had a lot of people ask me how I make my tea biscuits. I have an employee who challenges me to a bake off of tea biscuits because she says hers are better. Of course there are hundreds of ways to make tea biscuits which yield many different densities, shapes and flavours. Here is a little about tea biscuits. Ever since the creation of wheat, we have had bread. Before we discovered yeast for rising bread dough, we created many different breads using other ways to create carbon dioxide, which gives bread its height and density. The secret to a good tea biscuit, is density, flavour and layers. You never want a tea biscuit to be too dense. This is caused in a few different ways. Most common way is overworking the dough. Other causes are not enough liquid or fat. Here is the recipe I follow for my tea biscuits. For me, it is not what is in it,

but how I prepare the dough which gives them the appearance and texture. Start with dry ingredients: 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbls baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cream of tartar. Now cream of tartar is not necessary but helps with different reactions of the tea biscuit, giving air and lightens your tea biscuit. Because it is an acid, it also bleaches the flour creating a whiter dough. So you mix your dry ingredients together - add 1/2 cup of butter. You can use shortening, but it is nowhere near the same. Chop your butter and mix to create little pea size balls. Use your hands. It is faster and easier to get the consistency you want; add 1 cup milk and mix slowly. You do not want to over mix, you just want the milk to absorb the dry ingredients. Remove the dough and flatten with your hand. Fold the dough and flatten again. Do this five or six times but don’t let the butter melt too much. This gives layers and traps air into your tea biscuit. Instead of having a cake like consistency,

you are left with layers which you can pull apart. Flatten to about ½” thickness and cut to the size you want (use a glass or biscuit cutter). Once you get all possible cuts, push remaining dough together and repeat. Eventually you will get one last ball. Cook at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your stove. They should be a light brown and slightly darker on the bottom. These are best served warm and within an hour. 0040

whose enthusiasm for the craft outweighs their technical skills. Whether you want to join a camera club, a knitting circle, a writer’s group, a running club, a book club, or a car club, there are undoubtedly people out there who share your passion and interest. And while you are looking at your options, don’t forget the kids. There are numerous groups who cater to the younger members of the family, some educational, some strictly social and some teaching specific skills. There is guaranteed to be a local group to appeal to most any child. Activities such as the arts, culture, recreation and sports are important in building self-esteem, promoting healthy growth, increased knowledge and personal development. In these days of increasing “screen time”, activities to get us out into

the real, rather than the virtual, world are more important than ever. If financing is an issue, make sure you look into community partners who will assist. There’s no better time to get out there and try something new than today, no matter what your age. Find something fun and interesting and jump in. After all, what do you have to lose? “The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you’re learning you’re not old.” ~ Rosalyn S.

RENOVATIONS

Baden Powell Service Association Explorer Greg Crowdis (left) and his father, Paul Crowdis, at Wapta Falls in Yoho National Park, BC A new traditional scouting group has launched in Rothesay, providing youth in the area with affordable and exciting opportunities for safe, wholesome and memorable adventures. Leaders experienced with traditional scouting are inviting interested young people and their families to join 1st Kennebecasis Valley Baden Powell Service Association (BPSA). “We’re excited to be able to offer families in the KV a traditional scouting experience at a reasonable cost,” says Paul Crowdis, Group Scoutmaster for 1st KV BPSA Scouting. This was the whole idea behind chartering the group here - to be able to share with young people and their families an unforgettable traditional scouting experience, steeped in tradition, without costing a lot of money.” The Baden Powell Service Association is a long-established traditional scouting group, affiliated with the World Federation of Independent Scouting. BPSA is rooted in the original ideals for scouting as envisioned by the founder of the scouting movement, Lord Robert Baden-Powell. Crowdis has garnered interest from youth and parents alike. Volunteer leaders with decades of combined experience in scouting programs have also been recruited. Youth enrolled in the group will experience camping across the seasons, fishing, pioneering, hiking, leadership training, canoeing, kinship, jamborees, community service activities and much more. The KV group is open to both boys and girls ages 5 to 15. For more information on 1st Kennebecasis Valley BPSA Scouting or to register, please contact Paul Crowdis at kvbpsa@ gmail.com. 4213

MUSINGS WARNING, WARNING, WARNING It had been normal weekday morning and I was driving into the office listening to CBC Radio during my morning commute. I was listening to an interview and literally mid-word the interview was suddenly replaced by the sound of a loud siren-type sound. At first I did not realize it was the radio . . . I was looking at my gauges and such wondering what dire thing had upset my car to such an extent! But then a somber male voice began issuing a tornado warning, that I should take cover in a basement away from any windows or doors to the outside. If I am in a tent or mobile home I should get out and head for a safer building. If I am in a car I should drive to a safe building immediately. If I am outdoors or unable to get to a safe building I should lie in the lowest area and cover my head with my hands/arms. By now I am ready to move into full freak-out mode. Do I continue to the

office to ensure everyone is aware and move people to the basement (believe me it is plenty dark and virtually windowless down there and NO ONE would want to visit it unless under imminent threat)? Do I turn around and make sure my mother has heard the warning (does it go out on other radio stations or is it only a CBC thing) and is “safely” in her basement? Should I pull over and hide face down in the ditch? Call everyone I know to share the news? I am looking all around me and not only do I not see anything resembling a tornado, the sky isn't really that dark, there is little wind and no rain, just some mist/drizzle. But wait . . . the interview simply resumes. Did I dream the whole thing? What should I be doing? And then the sirens and the somber voice return once more. This time, however, the message included the area, and it wasn’t here at all but in central New Brunswick. Okay,

heart rate and breathing can return to normal. Deep breath, proceed to the office. A short time later the sirens are back to say the alert has ended. Whew! That was scarey. Thank goodness it is a rarity in our neck of the woods, but it did have me looking around my home that night to determine where would the safest spot to take cover. "It may be bliss not to know a tornado is coming because you have no need to worry or take action. But while your head is in the sand, your bum is in the air, and the tornado is still coming." ~ David Icke. 0001
