“So, what have you been up to Mikie??” Well, as usual, I like working on big projects, so I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how I could regenerate our provincial economy and by golly I think that I have a solution!! For a month now, I have been working on building a new smaller bridge across the brook that passes through the woodlot. Almost two years ago we had a large steel bridge installed that could handle a commercial harvest with heavy vehicles. This one is about a half-kilometre further downstream and will be just big enough to handle my personal tractors. In order to save money, I decided that the abutments could be done with rock and then use wood right off of the property to span the brook. So... by the bucket load, I started to collect rocks, big ones and small ones. I soon found that I had a limited opportunity for using the really big ones, especially during the early stages of construction. What I really wanted were “old man” sized flat rocks for building a nice smooth exterior wall along the stream. Never at a loss for an idea (often dumb), I grabbed an eight-pound maul, a concrete chisel and a tiny two-pound mini-maul. Since we have an abundance of fine sedimentary rock, I found that if Mother Nature hadn’t already created tiny fractures, that a couple of good swings of the maul (and only a couple) could often create manufactured fractures. A bit of chisel work into the

cracks and often within a few minutes I have flat “old man” sized rocks. I have noticed the NB government is often spending $15,000 per job created. My cost is $50 (maul, mini-maul and chisel). Score per $15,000: NB = 1 job, Mikie = 300 jobs. These jobs are well suited for our aging population (Mikie), long term, politicians and business leaders can proudly call the jobs sustainable (especially those dumb enough to refer to fracking and mining as sustainable), reduction of health care costs with all us old folks out beating on rocks, stress reduction and better mental heath (beating rocks instead of people)!! Now, every manufacturer needs customers. So I was thinking we could just lie and sell our rocks as pieces of our world famous Hopewell Rocks. Or we could of course sell them as “Pet Rocks” (what a scam that was)!! But, I am betting that China has just a ton of small streams that are just crying out for abutments and would be glad to get Made in Canada emblems on their rocks!! 0002

FAMILY MATTERS NAVIGATING AROUND SOCIAL CONFLICT Social conflict is real. It exists in the sandbox, on the playground and in school. As parents, when we hear about it we can quickly fall into “helicopter” mode but that might not be the appropriate response. As long as it does not escalate to bullying, conflict is normal and a part of engaging in social life. Everyday our kids have a variety of opportunities for navigating peer and/or sibling dynamics. They will often share their problems with us looking for a parental response. Our role is to support them while allowing them to develop fundamental social and communication skills that can move them from a place of anger or disappointment to empowerment. There are some general things parents can do to assist their children when navigating around disagreements: 1. Listen. Listen deeply to the story of unfairness and hurt by asking “can you tell me more about that?” to help your

child explore the full experience. 2. Be Arms Length Curious. Ask “what and how” questions to hold space for your child to consider all parts of the experience. 3. Invite Other Perspectives. Ask your kiddo to look at the situation through the eyes of everyone. This develops skills for seeing multiple perspectives. 4. Making a Decision. By inviting other perspectives and being curious, parents can help their children to identify and clarify what they want to do. Do they want to compromise? Is it a non-negotiable point of interest? 5. Developing the Language. It pays off to take the time to think about what we want to say to people in times of disagreement. Help your children come up with the words and language to express their feelings and their wants so they are much more empowered to use it. 6. Be Available for Practicing. This could be the most important piece for

your kiddos. Give them the opportunity to practice what they are going to say before any tough conversation. Take turns playing different roles using different options and imagine possible responses. Practice as many times as needed to build confidence. Role playing can offer children a feeling of familiarity and comfort amidst the discomfort of difference. This summer look for opportunities to help your children develop their interpersonal skills and enjoy the parenting journey - even in times of social conflict. 0006

Q. If I file for bankruptcy who will know?

Your bankruptcy will not be publicized unless it is one where there are significant assets. A bankruptcy proceeding is a matter of public record, which means that it is not a “secret” and anyone who needs to know is entitled to be advised. The notices of bankruptcy that you occasionally see in the newspaper are either corporate or large personal bankruptcies, which are not common. In order for you to file for bankruptcy, the Trustee must send your bankruptcy papers to the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, which is a division of Industry Canada and part of the federal government. Shortly after you file for bankruptcy, the Trustee will notify your creditors. The Credit Bureaus and Canada Revenue Agency are also notified. Other than that no one else is notified, normally. Your family and friends are not involved and should not become aware of your bankruptcy unless you Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP choose to tell Vice- President, Licensed Insolvency Trustee them yourself.

WELL RESTED KIDS TOO TIRED TO MOVE??

You may remember Hal and Joanne from the old ParticipACTION ads. Hal and Joanne may have reached retirement age, but they are still as active as ever and so is the Canadian Program ParticipACTION which has just released its “2016 Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth.” The Report card also includes the world’s very first “24 hour Movement Guidelines” for kids, and asked the question, “Are Canadian Kids too Tired to Move?” The answer seems to be yes. Research shows that less than 10% of kids get the recommended 60 minutes of vigorous activity a day. 75% of kids get more than two hours of “screen time,” meaning TV, IPAD/tablet, smartphone, or video games. Kids average sleep time has decreased by 30-60 minutes over several decades. Being sedentary delays kids bedtimes, and the average kid spends 8.5 hours in this low energy state! A third of kids as young as five are reporting trouble falling or staying asleep and just

as many teens report trouble staying awake during the day. The fallout from too little or poor quality sleep is extreme when it comes to kids. You may see hyperactivity, impulsiveness and a short attention span. In fact ADHD and sleep deprivation look exactly the same during the day. These kids have trouble with verbal creativity and lower IQ scores. Short sleeps can cause hormone changes that are associated with diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. Poor sleep over time can lead to depression as well. So it seems as if our kids are too tired to be active during the day, but too sedentary to be sleepy enough to get decent night’s rest. This is certainly a vicious cycle! ParticipACTION has just released the “24 hour Movement Guidelines” for kids/ youth 5-17 years of age. There are four categories, the “4 S’s”: Sweat - moderate to vigorous activity at least 60 minutes a day to get the heart rate up; Step - several

hours of light activity and movement; Sleep - 9-11 hours for 5-13 year olds, and 8-10 hours for 14-17 year olds of uninterrupted sleep with consistent sleep and wake times; Sit - no more than two hours of recreational screen time and limit sitting for extended periods. The key idea is that lots of physical activity makes for a longer and better quality sleep which in turn makes for a more rested kid ready to sweat and step their way to all around good health.

LIVE WELL CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY CHANGING YOUR THINKING! Simply stated, how we think eventually leads to feelings which then lead to behaviors. For example, if I have angry thoughts that just keep playing like a repeating tape (also known as obsessing), eventually they will translate into angry, acting out behavior. We may think our thoughts are private and that no one knows what we are thinking, humans have the ability to interpret another’s mood, body language, and facial expressions. Think for a moment - have you ever gone into a room where there was an angry person and you knew they were angry, felt it even, before they said anything? They might even have denied being angry when asked, but anger is an energy, alive and pulsating. Spiderman referred to this as “spidy sense.” Changing our thinking means we need to look at our perceptions, those ideas, attitudes and beliefs that have been forming in us since childhood. Many of our perceptions are distorted and inaccurate, often the result of earlier, negative experiences that have become

entrenched. For example, if I grew up in an environment where emotional needs were not met, I may have developed a belief that I am unlovable. That belief then goes on to color my relationships, life choices, and self-esteem. If this erroneous belief becomes entrenched, I may conclude that when I am rejected, I am only getting what I deserve. Therapy can help individuals confront negative, self-defeating thoughts and behavior. Challenges to negative thinking by a therapist could include questions such as: “Just because he/she said it, does this make it true? How might it be a good thing that you did not get the job or promotion? Is there a way to see this situation differently?” One of my favorite sayings comes from the feminist movement and says: “Of all the opinions passed on us, the one that needs to matter the most is the one we have of ourselves!” Changing negative self-talk is an important technique in changing unhealthy behaviors and inappropriate emotional responses. Mark

Twain wrote: “My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes, most of which have never happened.” Anxiety Care UK reported that “Obsessive/compulsive disorder is now recognized as one of the most common causes of disability worldwide.” How can we stop negative ruminating? Picture a giant STOP sign every time you start thinking negatively. Another technique is to wear a rubber band that one snaps to interrupt the thinking. Relaxation techniques and meditation can help, as well as journaling, seeing a therapist, talking to your doctor to assess for medication. Changing negative thinking can change life, and for the better. 0008

Renforth Wharf Day - July 16, 2016

Last year we had our first Community celebration in a long time, in the old Village of Renforth. Do you remember the days of the Renforth Regatta? About a dozen individuals and organizations banded together to do an open house event along the Renforth Shore Road. There were free pony rides, bouncy castles, balloon animals and face painting for kids and tours of facilities and other demonstrations and music for all ages. This year we are expanding the day, thanks to the Lions club, and offering a BBQ Dinner and Dance with live entertainment at the Bill Mcguire Centre. The event will be a fun day for the whole family, from 11:00am - 11:00pm. We are planning many more booths and vendors this time, including fire, police, boat rides, K9 demo, magic show, crafts, more live music and much more still in the works. If you have something that you think might fit into this special day please give us a call. We are interested in food vendors and things that have to do with water sports particularly. We are also looking for a few more sponsors for some of the items. If interested in getting your local business name out there please call us as well. Your sponsorship will come with a sign that has your company name and the event you are sponsoring. See you all on July 16th at the Renforth Wharf. Eric Phinney - Coordinator

1st EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT IN NB In September of 2011, Kingston Peninsula Heritage organized the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the first European settlement in what is New Brunswick today. This fur trading post was located on Akmenhenik (Caton's Island) on the Wolastoq (St. John River). It was startling to realize how few people are aware of this early French foothold. The settlement was significant, being the location of the first lasting contact between the Wolastoqiyik,

the indigenous people whose lands included the complete Wolastoq watershed, and the French of Europe. The arrival of Europeans had a massive impact on the Wolastoqiyik, which has been felt through all the generations since. This island, Akmenhenik, truly New Brunswick’s lodestone, is not only the meeting place of the provinces two founding cultures, but it also points a bearing to a future we would all value. As it turns out, the first leader of the trading post was rebellious, walking a fine line between troubles with the French authorities of La Cadie and the Grand Council of the Wolastoqiyik. This novel, set during the period of first contact, portrays life for both the Wolastoqiyik and the French fur traders, and the result of their meeting on two individuals and their communities. To order books please contact Eric at: reacher@nbnet.nb.ca. Proceeds of the books sold here are going to Kingston Peninsula Heritage. 4144

GONE FISHING FISHING & PHOTOGRAPHY GO HAND IN HAND As we get further into the summer, more and more people are grabbing a rod and getting out to the water to try and catch their favourite fish, be it trout, bass, pickerel or one of the many others we have in our neighbourhood. If you are one of the many who enjoy this sport, then you know that every trip out, you are likely make cherished memories, and witness fantastic views of nature and local wildlife. Most people today make use of smartphones to capture pictures and indeed for several years I had been doing the same thing. A smartphone is something most of us have these days, and the cameras on them are pretty good. If all you want to do is share your pictures online, then your smartphone is a great tool to have on any fishing trip. However for a real quality photo that can be enlarged to frame for your home, a smartphone doesn’t quite cut it. In hopes of improving on my smartphone

photography, this past year I made perhaps one of my better investments in a long time in the purchase of a quality camera. Specifically with kayak fishing in mind, I opted for a rugged and waterproof Nikon model which cost over $1000. While expensive, the payback from this camera has been well worth it! While I am very much an amateur when it comes to photography, the pictures I have been able to capture of my kids, friends, clients and of nature are incomparable to those which I could have taken with my phone. Of course with a quality camera, there comes the added burden of carrying more equipment, the need to keep the lenses clean, and then the work needed to deal with the pictures on a computer when you get home. You may need multiple lenses, filters, a lens cleaning kit, a spare battery, and if you get more seriously into the hobby, perhaps even other equipment. While daunting, for me it has been definitely worth the effort. Already

I have three of my pictures enlarged and framed in my home, and have several others I am considering doing the same with. Especially for parents who enjoy taking their kids out for a fishing trip consider bringing a good camera along to capture the memories. In addition to what could be a priceless picture of your kids fishing, you may spot an eagle, moose or even a family of baby ducks and be able to get a great nature shot! If you are like me and enjoy catch and release fishing, instead of coming home with a fish for the dinner table, you’ll be hoping to bring up a picture for the wall! 0034

EMERGENCY MEASURES PETS AND EMERGENCY PLANNING Pets are a part of many families. Barb and I are pet parents for some interesting cats. We have friends who have dogs and these dogs are a part of their family. Last weekend we had a barbeque and as it often happens the conversation turned to emergency response and what can they do to protect their pets and as important, have them safely returned if they run away. First, have a identification chip inserted into the animal. Many animal hospitals and veterinarians offer this service. If your animal runs away, the pet, when captured, will have a scan done to read the chip. Second, most municipal areas require a pet to be registered and an ID tag will be issued to you. This should be attached to your pet by a strong collar. Again if caught, the ID will assist in the return of your pet. Third, in case of any question of

With Two Locations to Serve You

ownership have some pictures taken with your pet. In checking my own photos, I had lots of pictures of the cats but none with the cats and Barb nor myself. Make sure that the immunization records are up-to-date for your pets. Those will not ony protect them from the normal diseases but during an emergency most animal shelters will not take pets that do not have all their shots. Check your areas hotels and motels to see which will take pets. Many will not allow animals into their rooms. Pets can sense fear and anxiety during an emergency so stay as calm as you can during your preparing to evacuate. They may even hide during weather storms or emergencies. Remember to wear gloves handing scared pets. The hardest thing to remember is to not put yourself at risk for the sake of

your pet. Pets may often take care of themselves. By thinking about your pet you are becoming part of the Be Prepared - Not Scared group. Welcome! 0039

LISTEN IN SUMMER IS HERE AND THE MUSIC IS HOT There are so many festivals throughout New Brunswick during the summer. There is something for everyone!

IN THE GARDEN LITTLE EFFORT… BOUNTY OF BEAUTY He who plants a garden plants happiness.... Chinese proverb. Wandering through my garden, smelling fragrant Roses and Iris, anticipating the joys to come, I am sure the Chinese writer was right on target! So much beauty for so little effort is not so much a right as a huge blessing. To maintain this state of well being just a few delightful tasks need to be performed, namely deadheading. I love this time of year when the abundance of blooms requires a couple of hours just to remove spent blooms; two hours when I honestly give thanks for the bounty of beauty that has been my privilege to care for and enjoy! Deadheading is, I think, even more important than weeding; by removing spent blossoms the plant will go into overtime to produce more flowers, initial blooms on the Iris will tend to rot emerging blooms, especially under moist conditions and if they are gently snapped off, the’ bud in waiting’ will bloom magnificently. Many Roses will reward

one with continuous bloom if this simple task is done daily and those that are not of the re-blooming persuasion can be left to produce Rose hips, excellent for jelly making and fending away colds in winter; one tablespoon in hot water will do the trick! There are many Roses on the market that are absolutely hardy for our Zone, however, some will ramble vigorously all over the place, great for banks, but if your space is limited it is best to stick to the types that don’t put out runners; one of the hardiest and most beautiful is the Therese Bugnet, it has red stems, glorious deep pink blossoms and blooms from June until after frost, check with your garden centre before purchasing… digging up a rambler that has had its way with you is no fun!! I am aware that committed sun worshippers won’t want to read this, but we need a lot more rain and until the heavens provide it a more cautious attitude toward mowing is required; I

find it quite amusing, that most folk really hate to be told what to do, and yet when it comes to ‘lawns’, buy into the ‘grass gurus’ and spend untold hours trying for a single blade 3” carpet of vegetation, smooth as a billiard table and just about as exciting! My patch of green cover is a delightful mix of violets, wild strawberries, clover, forget me not and the like, from a distance it looks like lawn and I love it! Until the dry ground is well watered it is wise to raise the deck on the mower, the extra length of the grass will provide much needed shade for the roots and hopefully prevent the brown scorching that so often mars the perfection of the ‘ ideal lawn’. Enjoy the bounty. Blessings. 0045

ASK THE CHEF STRAWBERRY SEASON Colin Sifton here from Holly’s restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. With the discovery about rhubarb coming from so far away in my last article, it made me think about the next popular fruit that we grow around here, which is strawberries. That is right, it is strawberry season in New Brunswick again and it is one of my favourite local produce. We spend the whole year eating gas ripened berries from the States and for a few weeks a year we get the real thing. Strawberries can be found all the way back to the Roman times, but they would have been what we call wild strawberries. In the court of King Henry VIII, we began seeing all kinds of cultivated strawberries which were served with cream. A popular dish still eaten today. Because of the popularity in King Henry VII’s time, more and more strawberry farms started popping up all over England. It wasn’t until the 18th century that France began

growing gardens of just strawberries and creating that we think of as strawberries. Strawberries are grown all around the world. They are probably the world's most popular berry. So why is that? It is most likely because they have so many uses. From jams and jellies to pies and tarts. We eat them right off the plant or cut them up and have them with cream like they did in King Henry’s day. So, one way that most people never think about having strawberries is with cracked black pepper. That’s right black pepper. I first discovered this when making some flambeed strawberries at a resort in the Canadian Rockies. I don’t know why it changes the flavour as much as it does but it is a great change to just having strawberries. I am not talking about putting teaspoons of cracked pepper on the strawberries but just a few cranks of the mill. The recipe I use when flambeing strawberries goes like this: 2 cups sliced

strawberries; 1/4 cup butter; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 2 ounces Grand Marnier; Black pepper to taste. In a hot sauce pan, add your butter and sugar. Stir together until sugar has dissolved and the two are well combined. Add your strawberries and stir until they are covered. Add Grand Marnier and hit it with some fire so it ignites. Once the flame burns out, add a few cranks of the pepper mill. Serve over vanilla icecream and garnish with a few chopped strawberries for texture. Be careful as melted sugar of any kind is very very hot, but once it hits the ice-cream it will turn to taffy. 0040

MUSINGS WE’RE ON IT... As I write this we are getting regular updates from Canada Post that there may be a postal strike in early July. Since our 40,000 plus magazines are

delivered by Canada Post, this is a wee bit of a problem! However, if it does happen it won’t be our first postal disruption so we are prepared

ANNOUNCEMENT Family Plus is pleased to announce our newest associates, Eve Beals and Kathleen McKim-Dawes are licensed clinical psychologists whose skills and work experience will provide a strong addition to our Family Plus team.

Eve E. Beals, Ph.D., L. Psych Child psychologist Dr. Eve Beals provides psychological treatment interventions for children. Dr. Beals is experienced in psychoeducational assessments and diagnostic assessments for autism spectrum, depression, anxiety, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, and attention deﬁcit. Assessment tools measure cognitive functioning, executive functioning, social responsiveness, adaptive functioning, and emotional functioning. In addition to the autism diagnostic tool, some initial screening tools for preschool children can be administered. Screenings for receptive language abilities as well as adaptive functioning can help make an initial determination if a preschool child might need to be assessed further for developmental delays, an intellectual disability or Autism spectrum.

for the possibility of another. You will have seen our half page ad earlier in this magazine alerting you to some locations where you will be able to pick up a copy of your community magazine should there be a strike or lockout at Canada Post. We will be updating this list on our Facebook page as new locations are identified. And of course, you can always read all of our community magazines online at our website, current and past issues. I am not going to come down on one side or the other when it comes to unions and labour disputes. I have been both union member/union executive and small business owner so can understand both sides of the equation. Yes, as a small business owner it does create some headaches, but I am confident we will weather it in spite of some inconvenience. I am constantly impressed at the loyalty and support we receive from our readers and advertisers and the 2011 postal distribution underlined that for me. What an amazing bunch of people we deal with on a daily basis. That is certainly one of the big pluses of this business. As Michael Jordan once said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” We are well on the way to our work-around if it is needed. 0001

Our on-site office with a large deck, laundry facility and community room is a great place to meet your neighbours, or make use of the books, WiFi, complimentary tea or coffee, tv, movies, wood stove and camping necessities for sale. Reserve the cook-house house and surrounding area for an Anniversary or Birthday gathering with friends and family.

Participate in many of our planned events and activities or just sit back and watch people play horse shoes, washer toss, golf-driveriver-tube challenge, tubing or create your own pizza and bake it in the clay/wood heated oven. All this for the mature camper looking for a peaceful, undisturbed stay, in a serene setting. “STOP BY” say Hi, stay a night or stay the season, make Our Piece of New Brunswick...
