It is unfortunate that in New Brunswick we have a massive concentration of ownership within the newspaper industry. I do mean the Irvings. That elderly Hickey lady is still back in second place. The reason why this is bad?? Good questions that should be asked by our newspapers are sadly missing. Whether, you are pro-Irving or antiIrving... I am somewhere in between on most days... there really should be a debate about their powerful role within the province and how can we enhance the good stuff and minimize the bad stuff. Is it right that the only “Provincial” newspaper, the Telegraph Journal, flogs the government to get fracking in what seems like every second editorial written. Any thoughts about where this profracking opinion comes from?? I didn’t think so. How about, what I would call their hyper-competitiveness. In a document submitted to the Competition Bureau by Ken Langdon of what was then the Carleton Free Press, he refers to a
meeting of Brunswick News managers that he attended. To the question asked about what was planned for dealing with Ossekeag Publishing, the reply from the vice-president was essentially “drive them out of business”. I know how I feel about that reply, but a debate should ask the question whether such a competitive attitude towards locally owned small business is good for the Province. With many years of working with local businesses I personally suspect that the small business community in New Brunswick is smaller and less vital than in many other parts of Canada. Is Irving domination, a factor?? If we wish to have a strong vital economy in this province, any sensible analysis cannot avoid “The Irving question”. Let the debate begin!! 0001 Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

GETTING READY FOR THE 5 - MILER Just about five weeks until the Hampton Five Miler on the Sunday morning after Labour Day weekend. Jog or run in a great event that is regarded by the running community as one of the very best - in terms of enjoyment and quality for participants of all ages and ability - in Atlantic Canada. The 5-Miler is both a very competitive event, with runners trying to set course and even national age group running records, and it is also a very fun, recreational event for people who aren’t interested in competing - except perhaps against themselves! If this year’s Five Miler will be your first, then your time on September 13 will be your PB (personal best), and your goal for 2016 might
be to walk, jog, or run the course faster than your 2015 time. Or perhaps, like the writer of this article, you’re getting really old and will be happy just to complete the course and make your grandchildren proud! The 5-Miler is a family event, and there are runs for younger people, too, on 5-Miler morning. Google “Hampton River Runners” to find out more about the Kids’ Kilometre (ages 12 years & under) and the Three-for-Me 3K (16 & under). There’s an excellent map of the 5-Miler course on the Hampton River Runner website as well. Keep moving… use it or lose it. 0034

Is your Hearing Aid “Acting Up” Summer heat, humidity and air conditioning can cause problems with hearing aids. Moisture collects in tubing, corrosion forms on contact points and ears may produce more wax. Hearing aid users report that their hearing aids “act up” whenever there is excessive humidity. Daily checking and cleaning by you is a must. You can control moisture in several ways. Wipe off the aids and the battery and blot the moisture from behind and/or inside your ear. Don’t keep hearing aids in the steamy bathroom. Use an inexpensive Hearing Aid Dehumidifier every night. Or you can make your own hearing aid dehumidifier by placing some grains of rice in an airtight container. Remove your battery and place the hearing aid inside the container. The rice will absorb any moisture from the hearing aids.

ASK THE CHEF CAESAR SALAD OR CESAR’S SALAD? Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. It seems that all the get-togethers that we go to have a variety of salads. You always see the same salads, and this led us to this week’s topic:
salad. So, what is the most popular salad in the world? Around here I would say Caesar salad but in fact it is coleslaw, a simple salad of cabbage, sweet mayonnaise and white vinegar. Some people add shredded carrots or purple cabbage for colour. Other’s add fruit, like apples or raisins, for a change of flavour and texture. The slaw I like the most is a bitter green slaw

which is a mix of kale, broccoli, cabbage, endive and brussel sprouts with pumpkin seed and craisins (sun dried cranberries) with a poppy seed dressing. Not only is it a tasty change, but also more healthy. Now as I said, I would think that Caesar Salad would be the most popular salad around these parts and why not? Now do you know the history of the Caesar Salad? Well, different countries have taken responsibility for this salad but this is the story I believe. First, it was Cesar not Caesar and it was named after a maitre d’hotel on a cruise ship and his name was Cesar. He was Mexican, not Italian or Greek. He started making the salad at the table for his most important customers and in a very short period of time, all the passengers were asking for Cesar’s salad. So if you would like to make your own Caesar Salad dressing, this is how you do it. You need the following: 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon of crushed garlic, 1/2 oz of red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp of dijon mustard, 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 piece of anchovy (yes you need the anchovy) and a lemon. Now you can do this in a bowl or throw it into the blender. It will come out thicker in the blender, so I would suggest doing it that way until you perfect your recipe. Add the egg yolk, dijon, garlic and anchovy together in a bowl and whisk until they become one. Add vinegar and whisk. Slowly add the oil. If you pour too quickly it will not incorporate and it is not easy to get the proper consistency; not as much of an issue with the blender. Squeeze half a lemon and whisk. You will see your dressing getting whiter. This is from the acid in the lemon juice, it bleaches your dressing making it lighter in colour, but is also a very important ingredient in your dressing. Add your chopped romaine, parmesan cheese, bacon bits and croutons to the same bowl and toss together until all leaves are coated with dressing. You can have some extra cheese, croutons and bacon available to garnish your salad if you want. I mean who doesn’t want extra right? 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

POINT OF VIEW SCREAMING KID SPECIAL Darla Neugebauer has got the whole world talking. The American diner owner came under fire this past week for yelling at a crying child inside her Portland, Maine eating establishment. News of her angry outburst spread like wildfire and everyone was quick to share an opinion. Many were outraged that this woman dare yell at someone else's crying child, while others praised her for taking a stance against parents who ignore their children when dining out. The owner says she became increasingly frustrated after a couple ordered their two-year-old daughter pancakes and then didn't feed them to her, causing her to cry loudly for close to 40 minutes. After repeated attempts to get the get the couple to leave, Neugebauer says she finally slammed her hands on the counter and yelled “this has to stop.” The
child looked at her and promptly stopped crying. So thaaaat's the secret! Despite an angry backlash on social media from people who claim they'll never eat at her restaurant again, the woman is standing by her pancakes, and her actions. “Life's full of choices and you've got to live with all of them”, she said. “I chose to yell at a kid, it made her shut up, which made me happy, it made my staff happy, it made the 75 other people dining here happy, and they left.” One online poll on the topic indicated that 72 per cent said someone should thank her, three per cent said it was totally inappropriate and the remaining 25 per cent said she should have gone about it a different way. I'm siding with the 25 per cent on this one. Without a doubt, the owner handled the situation badly. But, where were the parents in all of this? Who lets their child cry in a restaurant for that length of time and does nothing? Really? Just because a restaurant has a children's menu, crayons, cups with lids and
happens to be loud, doesn't mean you don't have to parent. The truth is that nobody thinks your child is as cute and perfect as you do. Standing on chairs, running around, dancing between tables, yelling and screaming is not enjoyable – for anyone. Having children and taking them out to a restaurant requires some pre-planning and common sense. Always have a few snacks or books tucked away, in case they get restless and hungry while waiting for their meal. And, stay tuned in to your child, not just your phone or the adults around you. Oh, and if you want to order the screaming kid special, might I suggest you get it to go? 0032

Abigail Godreau, 15, of Nauwigewauk, and Matthew Nutter, 17, of Kingston, have just returned from The War Amps 2015 Atlantic Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Fredericton, which brought together young amputees from across the Atlantic provinces. This year marks the 40th Anniversary of CHAMP, which has provided generations of child amputees with financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support. Abigail was born a right arm amputee, and Matthew is a double leg amputee. They attended the three-day seminar with their parents, where they learned about the latest developments in artificial limbs, and parenting an amputee child. Matthew was also a Junior Counsellor at the Seminar, acting as a role model and offering advice to
the younger Champs. CHAMP is funded through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1-800-250-3030 or visit: waramps.ca. 3610

AROUND & ABOUT FINAL EVENTS FERNHILL WALK SERIES It might seem a strange thing for a cemetery to be sponsoring walks in what is often called the City of Sleep, but it’s a marvelous way to share the history of the community. There is so much to be learned just from reading the inscriptions on the stones themselves or interpreting the carved symbolism. When that is combined with a bit of research, it is almost like bringing them back from the dead for a conversation. There are three more opportunities to have a Fernhill Experience during the current Walk n Talk season. Two of them are free, as they are sponsored by the Fernhill Company. All these walks begin at 200 Westmorland Road and this is what to expect. Sunday, August 9: 7:15pm, Exploring the Shaarei Zedek (Jewish) Cemetery: Guest Commentator Katherine BiggsCraft. All welcome, no fee. Katherine
Biggs-Craft is the curator of the Saint John Jewish Historical Museum, thus well qualified to lead this walk which will include a discussion of Jewish burial customs, the history of the Jewish cemetery, the history of the chapel on the grounds, and the opportunity to learn about some of the well-known (and not so well-known) former residents who rest within the cemetery’s gates. Sunday, September 13: 7:15pm, Urban Legends: led by David Goss. All welcome, no fee. This walk will explore the many urban legends that are well known across North America - modern variations of similar stories of the 19th century or earlier. This will include the vanishing hitchhiker; the dauntless girl; the snake in the sleeve; the man who woke without his liver; the parked lovers and the crook with the hook; the choking Doberman; the $50 dollar Porsche; the solid cement Cadillac; the blind man at the door and story of the fatal boot. Tuesday, August 25: Fernhill for the
Brave - with David Goss (ticketed walk). The third opportunity is the annual finale of the Tuesday series of Walks and will be held at 8:00pm. This is the “Fernhill for the Brave” walk and there is a requirement to pick up tickets in advance as this walk is strictly limited to 40 participants. The tickets are $8 and can be procured on any of the Tuesday walks prior to the 25th, or by contacting gosswalk@nbnet.nb.ca. As you may realize, the 8:00 start means it is very dark by the time this finishes, and thus, it can be very scary… in fact, the stories and stunts will ensure it will be a walk that won’t be quickly forgotten. 0004

BLUEBERRIES Blueberries belong to a well-travelled family, going back a long way in time and place. Blueberries grow in many places around the world. Cousins of our native North American blueberries live in Asia, Europe and South America, from the tropics to the land of the Eskimos. But our blueberries did not travel from far-away places to get here. They are not escapees from early Colonial gardens. Nor are they immigrants whose seed came over on the Mayflower. Blueberries were here when the first wave of settlers arrived in what was to become America. Some had known a similar berry in Scotland, the blaeberry. Blaeberry jam, the story goes, was invented in the court of James V, who became King of Scots in 1513. His French wife brought her own cooks when she arrived at the castle in Scotland. They harvested the local wild blaeberries and in typical inventive French gourmet fashion, devised a delicacy which still delights Scottish palates. English immigrants related the New World blueberry to their whortleberries: the Danes, to bilberries; the Swedes
to their blåbär. People from northern Germany recognized their bickberren; those from southern Germany, blauberren. Later arrivals from Europe, such as the Russians, also had a frame of reference for these berries whose blue reflected the promising blue skies of the New World. The first commerical venture involved canning Wild Blueberries for the military and today, with new methods of preserving and processing blueberries, and their recent elevation to “super food” status, the world’s appetite for blueberries is growing. TIPS & TRICKS Put blueberries in a zip lock baggy with some flour and shake them so they don’t sink in the batter. At the store, choose blueberries that are firm, deeply colored, and uniform in size. Blueberries stay fresh up to five days. To freeze, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Then put them in a plastic bag or other container. They should last in the freezer until blueberry season next year.
BLUEBERRY-SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE 1 - 226 gram (8 oz) pkg cream cheese 1 ½ - cups butter 3 - cups white sugar 6 - large eggs 3 - cups all-purpose flour 1 - tsp vanilla extract 1 - tsp lemon extract 1 - cup frozen blueberries (can add more) Method: Cream together the cream cheese, butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Add the flour, one-cup at a time, beating well after each cup. Add vanilla and lemon extracts; beat well. Fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into a greased and floured tube or Bundt pan. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, and then turn the temperature down to 325F and bake for another 55 minutes. Test the cake, and bake a little longer if needed, esp if more blueberries were added.

FAMILY MATTERS SLIDES, SWINGS AND TEETER-TOTTERS Summer is for playgrounds. The sand, bars, climbers, teeter-totters, blocks, swings, slides, tunnels, bridges, merry-go-rounds and mazes do much more than enhance creativity. Playgrounds of all kinds provide wonderful unstructured opportunities for exploration using all of our children’s senses. Playgrounds give children a chance to incorporate colors, sizes, sounds and texture to the benefit of their development. Under careful supervision and with the help of standard playground rules, parents should encourage the multiple uses for each piece of equipment. Using playgrounds to their fullest potential during free-range play has innumerable benefits for children. Eight fundamental playground benefits can help children’s physical, social and cognitive development as well as integrate their senses. Benefit 1 – Improves Leg Strength. Climbing, jumping and teeter-totter use
are all excellent ways to get the leg muscles firing. For example, when kids climb up a slide they must use their hamstrings to walk their way up. Benefit 2 - Upper Body Strength and Coordination. Alternating arms improves reciprocal movements such as when using the horizontal hanging ladder. Benefit 3 - Core Activation and Balance. Climbing up the slide, balancing on a beam or jumping from block to block works the muscles of the core. Core strength is vital when completing different activities during the day, including desk work and fine motor tasks. Benefit 4 - Risk Taking. Children learn how to use their bodies and interact with the physical environment by experimenting and taking risks. The playground is a perfect place for risk taking where children can be empowered and build confidence in safe and appropriate ways. Benefit 5 - Taking Turns. Figuring out who goes up or down a slide first is a great opportunity for negotiation, social interaction and language development.
Benefit 6 – Proprioceptive Input. The sensation of heavy work provided when using the merry-go-around or playground lever improves body awareness. Benefit 7 – Vestibular Training. Inverting oneself on a swing or hanging upside down on the monkey bars challenges a child’s vestibular system by using gravity, speed and changes in direction in playful ways. A child must also learn to orientate once back on two feet. Benefit 8 – Motor Planning. Figuring out how to turn around and come back down from the top of the monkey bars is a great motor planning activity. Alongside your children, this week explore creative and new ways to use your local playground equipment and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006 Anita Hofmann Occupational Therapist

IN THE GARDEN DROPS OF RAIN AND GARDENING OPPORTUNITIES Little drops of water, little grains of sand make the mighty ocean and the beauteous land. ~ Julia Carney. Bearing in mind the horrific drought conditions that are present throughout this great continent, I assume that no one is complaining about the weather! When our soil is nicely soaked it is the ideal opportunity to transplant the early flowering perennials; the Primula family benefit greatly from division as do the Siberian and German Iris. In the case of German Iris, cut the foliage back to about 8” to prevent them toppling over while they establish a good root system. The Siberians often require a sturdy curved saw to get through the root system; cut pie shaped wedges and discard the centre part which usually is dying off. Primulas are easy separated into smaller clumps and spread along the borders
of the bed. As with all transplants, a totally new location is preferable and a good mix of bone meal along with some compost will give a great start to them; use only a moderate amount of bone meal, too much and the plant will ‘overeat’ and flowers will not arrive. This advice needs to be particularly taken with the veggie patch, over fertilization will generally result in a very poor yield, too much Nitrogen and the result will be magnificent foliage and no flowers or fruit. Last year was a bad one for tomatoes, with widespread blight problems. Many difficulties can be overcome by keeping the plants weed free and by picking up fallen leaves and snapping off affected ones. A solution of 1 teaspoon Epsom Salts to 550 ml water can be sprayed on the plants if the leaves turn yellow and start curling up, this is due to a Magnesium deficiency and is easily corrected. During wet weather there is a good chance that fungi and mould will cause
problems; the best prevention is to allow the crops or decorative plants a decent airflow and weeds should be removed. However, working among the veggies (particularly true with beans) on a wet day will cause any damp related problems to spread. Because of the wet weather the weeds seem to have flourished, so I simply wander around digging up the ones that are in flower first and then working on the less advanced chaps. Day Lilies are coming into their own and need daily attention; the spent blossoms can be easily snapped off, allowing the plant to continue an extended flowering. The spent blooms will often cause the emerging buds to rot, thus robbing the garden of many delights. As you ‘deadhead’ celebrate the abundance that Betty Kennett, you’ve enjoyed.

LISTEN IN MARDI GRAS FOR MINDCARE Ok, picture this! You’re in the beautiful historic Uptown Saint John on Prince William Street where the Bourbon Quarter Restaurant is; only it’s all been transformed into a genuine New Orleans vibe complete with the sounds and smell of Mardi Gras. You still with me? Good! It’s actually going to happen! Hopefully Mother Nature will bring us the weather to complement the festivities. Otherwise it will happen in the Bourbon Quarter itself. As a mental health advocate and speaker myself, I am one of the organizers (volunteers!) for this family friendly exciting community event that is free to the public. After all everyone loves a good street party, right! It takes a community to work together to make anything a success and the other organizers Craig Allen and the BQ’s Shawn Verner have really made this all come to fruition along with the
DJ Hawk aka Michael Hawkins MindCare, Horizon folks and some caring community minded sponsors. This will be a rare opportunity to see the 7-piece New Orleans band Sweet
Crude perform in the port city as part of this unique signature event in support of MindCare. “Sweet Crude band members

There will also be plenty of magic and family friendly activities. The street will truly be alive! “Traditional New Orleans foods like gumbo and oysters will be available for purchase from Bourbon Quarter restaurant. Those of an appropriate age may also purchase Picaroons Beers from the Bourbon Quarter.” From the Press Release. “We’re inspired and very grateful for the many community-minded people who support mental health in our region, not only in their day jobs, but also through volunteering their time and talents to raise much-needed funds,” said Jeff McAloon, President and CEO of the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation. “Each year, our MindCare Committee approves grants for mental health research, education, transformational projects and therapeutic programs from across New Brunswick. Money raised at Mardi Gras for MindCare will have a direct and positive impact on our community.” Just the facts!

MUSINGS TALE OF TWO FISHIES Actually it is a tale of two fish tanks, but somehow that didn’t have the right “feel” to it! Tank # 1: Many years ago when my kids were young, I had a 10 gallon fish tank that housed a beauty of a Betta Fish. If you are not familiar with these fish, they are beautiful little guys with long flowing fins and tails, but they aren’t necessarily very friendly with other fish so they tend to live in solitary splendor in their tanks. They are okay with this and often become quite interactive with their “people”. We had “Mr Fishy” for a number of years, but eventually he died and the fish tank was retired. Fast forward to about 6 years ago when my daughter decided to adopt a couple of goldfish from a friend who was going
away to university. This went well for a while, but then life got busy and the fish got neglected so “Nana” (aka me) inherited the goldfish and the tank. So the tank has been on the corner of my kitchen counter and various fish have come and gone over time. But a 10 gallon tank cannot hold very many fish. The question became, do I want to continue to be a fish owner and go bigger or shall I get out of fish entirely? A little research revealed that a big tank is really no more work than a small tank, so then the question becomes, where would it go? A bigger tank simply WOULD NOT fit on the kitchen counter. A period of puzzling and research just how big is bigger anyway? - and I now have a 30 gallon tank and a plan for where it is going. I may take a few weeks to get it all sorted out, but now that I am committed it is exciting to be going ahead.
The lovely gentleman I got the tank from was generous in sharing his knowledge and his own set-up was absolutely awesome. The new tank will be more of a focal point in the house and I expect to enjoy watching these lovely creatures for many years to come. Yes, it is a little work (much like having a swimming pool), but the time is an investment that will be paid back in pleasure over and over again. And my cats will surely enjoy it! “A fish tank is just interactive television for cats.” ~ Oliver Gaspirtz, A Treasury of Pet Humor. 0002
