The Valley Viewer

So, from the last “Ravings” you get the idea that climate change could really knock the stuffing out of our forests, but relax, stay calm. Though there is much known, there is also much unknown or uncertain. Insects, drought and disease fuelled by climate change could cause some stands of northerly (early succession trees) to collapse over a fairly short time period, but my best guess (and that’s what it is) is that we are more likely to see a steady progression of decline with the weak and stressed failing first and the steady decline of the remainder as they become more and more stressed. Regardless, it is unprofitable for the landowner and bad for the environment to have large quantities of trees dead and rotting in our woodlots. For those with lots of trees not well suited for climate change I would recommend you consider a harvest of those trees within the next ten years or so. Please get professional advice if you are not well versed in what to do. BUT, no clear cutting nor high grading (cutting everything of commercial value) whatsoever!! It is important that you maintain the trees (seed sources) for creating a new stand of trees that is much better adapted to warmer temperatures. Harvesting of the early succession trees will lock their carbon content as lumber and other wood products that will prevent the release of their stored greenhouse gases. The other downside of having big bunches of dead trees is of course the risk of forest fire. There is little doubt that the

Fort McMurray forest fire was fueled by climate change with unseasonably hot, dry weather. As part of preparing for climate change, Debbie and I have just finished planting nearly 700 red spruce and white pine throughout the woodlot, so that we will have many more future seed sources better adapted to to a changing climate. The way forward is first... do no harm... maintain the trees that are suited to climate change such as hemlock, white pine, cedar, maple, beech, oak and white ash are all keepers. Red Spruce is questionable but you can gamble if you are not too far from the coast or at high altitude. And of course you can start planting. Trees of the right species can help battle climate change whether in your backyard, along streets (get permission) and just about anywhere that someone doesn’t mind. Trees can act as natural air conditioners as well as absorbing carbon dioxide from the air. Trees, also, help filter out pollutants from the air and replenish oxygen, as well as slowing runoff that can damage streams. Three cheers for trees!!! 0002

ROTHESAY RESIDENT RECEIVES VOLUNTEER AWARD

Rothesay resident Walter Emrich has been recognized with the 2016 Longard Volunteer Award from the Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment for his outstanding efforts as a longtime volunteer with the Nature Trust of New Brunswick. This award is given annually to an individual from one of the five provinces and states bordering the Gulf of Maine, acknowledging their commitment to volunteer programs dedicated to environmental protection and sustainability of natural resources within the marine and watershed environments of the region. Walter first became involved with the Nature Trust in 2001 when he took on the role of voluntary land steward for several nature preserves within the Bay of Fundy region. He joined the Nature Trust’s board of directors five years ago and, as chair for the stewardship committee and part of the acquisition committee, he has since been an incredibly active board member. His work on the acquisition committee has supported the successful conservation of hundreds of hectares of land within the Gulf of Maine watershed,

He has led dozens of nature hikes and sea/river kayaking tours for community members in all seasons across New Brunswick and mainly within the Bay of Fundy region. By guiding nature walks, paddling trips, and helping facilitate workshops, Walter has educated hundreds of people on our natural heritage, inspiring others with his love of nature and passion for forest and ocean ecosystems. Walter was presented with the award at a reception and award ceremony on June 7 at the Killarney Lake Rotary Centennial Lodge in Fredericton. 4126

DEAR EDITOR: As a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, and a Safety Ambassador for the PLAYSAFE Program, I have met kids who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented. With the weather warming up, it’s a good time to teach kids about the dangers that can come with summer, such as lawn mowers, boat motors and playing around water areas. I encourage parents to pass on the PLAYSAFE message to their kids because it is important for them to realize that careless acts can lead to consequences. I suggest taking a “safety walk” with your children and pointing out the dangers in your area. It only takes a split second for an accident to happen, so let’s all PLAYSAFE!

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG PHOTOGRAPHY AS THERAPY I was at a photography judging seminar the other day when a friend says to me, “Karl I am so stressed, with the pressures and demands at work and the chores at home, I stole two hours, grabbed my camera and went shooting”. He went on to explain how powerful it was to leave all the pressures of his life behind and immerse himself in the pursuit of his art. Such is the effect of modern life. So, how does one cope? I used to ride my motorcycle. The concentration it took did not allow for the intrusion of my worries and before long I was part of my environment and in tune with the rhythmic song of my engine. Photography serves the same purpose. Like all forms of art, it takes dedication, concentration and discipline to the craft. Photography also allows for the expression of the soul, to relinquish your feelings. I have another friend who would often say that I see life through that tiny square hole on my camera, implying that I need to get away

from the camera and see life at large, of course we’d chuckle. The truth is that my camera serves as a microscope or telescope in search of beauty. It takes me to beautiful areas of the “ Picture Province” that I might have driven by. As much as I enjoy the privilege of shooting with my friends it is those times when I am being the “lone wolf ” that has the greatest affect me. I allow myself to wander and let my subconscious to bubble up, guiding me to that image with no restriction. Life begins to melt away and I am in the “now” as Eckart Tolle says in his Book “The Power of Now”. It is not, only the end result that is important, it is the experience or process in the creation of one’s craft. Recently, I was sitting in a duck blind, with a good friend sharing a thermos of hot coffee, watching the sunrise illuminate the mist that was floating on the pond. Few words were spoken but many things were shared. Getting the perfect image

NAUWIGEWAUK EDUCATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCEMENT It is with great pleasure that the Board of Directors of the Nauwigewauk Education Foundation announces the creation and applications for a new bursary.

did not happen as the lighting was not optimum so we made lemonade out of the lemons and shot other creative overexposed shots where the beautiful wood ducks with their hooded crowns emerged from the mist, creating stunning silhouettes of fantasy. The images were not documentary, as they went beyond that, they were moody, and evoked feelings of peace and tranquility of life on the pond. Another great day! Does all this sound a little much? Many photographers do this as they go out with cameras in search of those things they love and immerse themselves. Shoot. Print. Share. 0032

DOLLARS & SENSE HOW DO I SPEND MY MONEY? LET ME COUNT THE WAYS... If I could take the liberty to make a generalized statement it would be we’re busy, no matter who you talk to or what their lifestyle is, you can come down to the commonality that we all have and that is that we are busy. It could be our home life, workload or hobbies that are occupying our time, but the truth is that time is occupied. So what does that mean for us financially? A little disclaimer may be needed here as I am writing this article after purchasing pizza and garlic fingers with a co-worker. Truthfully, that is what made me think of it. For the last two weeks I have travelled off and on for work. What this means for me is I have already, in preparation for travel, ate everything that was nutritious and could potentially expire, I determined I was not home long enough to replenish before I left again and I was already into a work week upon my latest return. So what this means for me is my

daily spending kicks it up a notch and of course it’s due to being busy. Coffees are purchased as more of a just in case I need it, as opposed to just the one that I always ‘need’ in the afternoon. Premade salads are purchased for lunches and then when it comes to supper, well it’s whatever I can justify to pick up. This may not seem like a lot to most, but by not planning and having food prepped in the freezer I have likely spent $50 more than I would regularly spend in a week, if I was to continue on that habit that would increase my expenses by $2600/year! If I somehow received a cheque for $2600 I don’t have to tell you that my first thought would not be to spend it on coffees, premade salads and pizza. I justify these as little expenses that accommodate my priorities, but what I don’t think of when I spend the $10 here and the $10 there, is that more could be available to me by paying attention

to my everyday spending and my ‘busy’ spending. This is not something you can do overnight, and you have to have patience in waiting to see the effects of the changes you made with your financial decisions. If you need resources to help with your expenses, visit our web site: solveyourdebts.com. No matter how you do it, celebrate the money you save. 0005

STEEVES250 FESTIVAL Move over Kitchener, move over Lunenburg … this July, Moncton celebrates its own German legacy with the Steeves250 Festival. There are an estimated 300,000 Steeves globally who can be traced back a mere 250

LIFE’S MYSTERY I came over the mountain Into the Valley of Life I drank from the wordly fountain: Had lots of fun and strife. I went over the next hill Into the Valley Forlorn Where everything stood still But back in the Valley of Life Another child was born. Byron Williamson Rothesay

years to one couple - Heinrich and Regina Stief. The Stiefs came to North America in 1749. Originally from Munsingen in southwestern Germany, the family lived in Philadelphia before a land grant deal was arranged through a consortium that included the American icon Benjamin Franklin. Stief and other families such as Treitz, Sommer, Lutz and Wortman departed from the American colonies to the new grants on the Petitcodiac in 1766, a few years before the initial influx of Loyalists from Maine to New Brunswick. In fact, there is no evidence to suggest Stief was motivated by the Loyalist cause. "The aspirations of these original German settlers were more closely aligned with Acadians and other European emigrants who simply wanted to prosper on lands free of external political interference", says Dr. Philip Steeves, author of Heinrich and Regina: The Story of the First Steeves. It's in this spirit that, despite linguistic

barriers, the settlers cooperated to secure a future for their offspring. Heinrich and Regina had seven surviving sons - Jacob, John, Christian, Frederick, Henry, Lewis and Matthias - who in turn had large families. They contributed along with Acadians to add a further economic and cultural dimension to this corner of British North America. This July the Steeves Family is hosting a festival that will be second to none. Cousins and friends are coming from far and wide. “To date Festival Passes have been purchased by delegates from 21 different US States, eight different Provinces and three different international countries. What an amazing and unique opportunity for New Brunswick and local tourism as we attract such diversity to the area.” says PR Chair Kerry Rakuson.

IN REMEMBRANCE ON YOUR BIRTHDAY I’ll remember you on your birthday, my dear It’s so heartbreaking that you’re no longer here; Now you’ll not get older as I do, Nothing can hurt you and age will no longer weary you. I will remember your birthdays of the past, Such happy memories that I thought would last; You slowly read your cards filled with heartfelt sentiments, You had a huge smile on your face as you opened your presents. This year I will sing Happy Birthday looking up to Heaven for you, I will release a balloon with a birthday message attached for you; I will visit your resting place and lay flowers and a card, My angel please send me some strength, this is going to be hard. This year I will light a candle and blow it out for you, I will whisper in the wind a wish for you; I will wish that you’re at peace and free from pain Watching over me through Heaven’s window pane, Whatever day it is I’ll always remember you. On your birthday I want you to know how much I miss and love you, I hope that as my life continues I will make your proud. I will continue to remember you and say “Happy Birthday” out loud. Loved and missed so much, Judy, Port & Rina

DIRECTORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTES GIFTS FOR SJ - IMPERIAL STYLE Christmas in June - that's how I feel about Imperial Theatre's annual season launch. For a whole year, I've shopped for wonderful gifts for Saint John, and at last we get to unwrap them. The ooohs and aaahs - and laughs - that come from the audience that night are just as sweet as the sounds of delight from friends and family when they see what Santa has brought. The entire season is online now, for people who want to browse the whole inventory. Subscriptions only are on sale at this time, and single tickets are available starting July 7. Personally, I don't see why everyone doesn't get a subscription. All it takes is buying any six shows, including movies and up to two shows from Symphony NB, Saint John Theatre Company and the Nutcracker. So it can be done for as little as $60. Then you get discounts on every ticket you buy, which pretty quickly adds up to sixty bucks. Not to mention having first choice of seats and all kinds of little perks through the year.

But back to unwrapping. What were the biggest audience responses on June 7? The biggest gasp was for "Machine de Cirque" and their daredevil towel stunt. It's not often that the words daredevil and towel appear together, but this young circus troupe does something deserving of it. You can get the video link on Imperial's website. Happy applause came with the announcement that the Barra MacNeils are bringing their Christmas show this year, and the biggest laugh was for CBC's "This is That: Live" with their piece on Downhill Climbing. The singalong moment was to Pinball Wizard as performed by the Hillbenders in "Tommy, A Bluegrass Opry." There were oohs and aahs aplenty for the biggest name acts of the season - groups that took years to get - The Vienna Boys Choir and the Sons of the Pioneers. Two local artists were on hand for welldeserved rounds of applause - Mike Biggar who will be performing at the

Tree Care

Imperial next season with the ECMA Songwriters Tour and Tomato Tomato who are sharing a bill with the Backyard Devils next March. This year there was an "oh, that's so adorable" ooh for the children's show "Bedtime" which is in fact sooo adorable. And of course no gift unwrapping session would be complete without a "wow - you actually got me this" which was pretty much the reaction to Sloan. The best gifts are the ones we share, and going to a show together is a wonderful gift to share with the people you care about. All of us at the Imperial feel very lucky we get to share so many fantastic experiences with so many people. 0030

LISTEN IN PAUL GRANNAN SHUCKFEST Over the last 14 summers the popular event we know as the Paul Grannan Annual Golf Tournament has been something many have looked forward too. It’s become a tradition where memories and fun can be had among friends and community all while raising much needed funding for The Community Foundation: Paul Grannan Fund. With this being its 15th year they have added a new and exciting event that will parlez quite well with the annual golf tournament - the Paul Grannan Shuckfest! It’s happening July 7 from 6:00-8:30pm in Market Square and will include all your entertainment, food and drink for only $75 each. For more details contact Grannan’s Seafood who is hosting this event. Don’t delay; grab your tickets now to this evening of shucking and fun all for a good cause! I had a quick chat with Chris Grannan about the new addition to the already successful event. “It was

for g n i Grow ars! 50 Ye

an idea Craig Allen had to change the focus of our fundraising efforts from the Paul Grannan Golf tourney, to this festival. It fits very well for a number of reasons” Chris tells me in how it all came to fruition. “20 tables of seafood, beer and wine sampling from multiple uptown Restaurants and suppliers”. Wow that is some feast! The Kindred Brothers (four-piece band) will complement your dining experience musically throughout the evening. I asked Chris what some of his fondest memories of his Dad (Paul) were and the lasting impression he left on him? “Well the theme of golf for many years and now the seafood and drink event are both things that he enjoyed. They speak to my memory of him and his legacy. Those two things, as well as traveling. It would be a hard thing to take 300+ people on a trip though!” It’s all on our doorstep and sure to be an unforgettable evening of Community, music, food and spirits

all for a wonderful cause. Hey it’s summer! I know it’s hard to tell these days, but it’s here. I asked a few musical friends what their summer music favorites to listen too on those long hot hazy days were. Some of my favorites for the summer with the windows down as we drive to the cottage include: Band of Horses (earlier albums and the new one, “Why Are You OK”), Gregory Alan Isakov – “This Empty Northern Hemisphere”, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris – “All the Road Running” to name but a few.

ASK MARY Q. If a creditor puts a judgment against my house what are my options? A. A creditor can register a judgment

against property to help enforce payment of an outstanding debt. If you do not file a bankruptcy or a proposal the judgment is a lien on the property so if you sell your house the judgment debt will have to be paid from the proceeds. If a bankruptcy is filed or a proposal is filed and approved the judgment becomes unsecured and the judgment debt is eliminated the same as any other unsecured debt. As long as your payments are kept up to date on your mortgage you will not lose your home. There is another type of judgment that can be registered against your property called a Memorial Judgment. This type of judgment can be registered by Canada Revenue Agency for outstanding income tax, HST or source deductions. A bankruptcy or proposal does not automatically result in a Memorial Judgment being unsecured. The settlement of the Memorial Judgment usually requires a discussion with Canada Revenue Agency. If you file a bankruptcy or proposal your Trustee can assist you with this discussion Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty. Additional information can be obtained on our website or by contacting our office. Matthew J. Munro, CGA, CIRP, Licensed Insolvency Trustee

WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GRIEVE? How we grieve can be directly related to our past experiences and the uniqueness of our relationships. No two people are the same and every relationship is unique so there is no “right” way to grieve. There is a lot of confusion about grief and how a person should handle it. But grief does not come in a tidy box, instead it can be very messy. What Grief Is: Grief is a normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind; Grief can be conflicting – happy they are not in pain, sad they are gone; Grief goes by the heart not be the brain, it’s very emotional; Grief cannot be stereotyped because we are not all the same; Grief is a crisis and needs to be respected; Grief affects each person differently. What Grief Is Not: Grief is not an orderly process; Grief is not a set of stages that everyone goes through. Grief is not rational in its reaction to loss; Grief is not an illness that we get over; Grief is not a diagnosis that explains it all away; Grief is not depression, but a normal reaction to the loss of a loved one. I hope this article helps everyone to understand that grief does not have a time frame and is not the same for each person. We need to talk about how complicated grief is and accept that “It is okay to be in pain”. When you lose a loved one don’t hide from your grief, instead let your grief have it’s time.

You’ll know that you’re detached and out of touch with how you feel when others seem more emotional than you. You may feel disconnected and emotionally unavailable. Try to open up to close friends or family members that you trust to honor your thoughts and feelings. Although not for everyone, professional help can be just what you need to understand that it’s normal to be so unbalanced. If you want to talk to someone who can help you with the emotions that you’re faced with then get a Counselor that you’re comfortable with, look up the local Community Health Clinic or ask your family doctor for a referral. Don’t hold back, this is the time to reach out. 0016

Happy 149th Birthday, Canada! Preparations have already been underway for months f o r next year’s 150th birthday party, but meanwhile there is lots going on this year for the 149th. You can check with your local community representatives, website and Facebook pages for the details of local celebrations for we have much to celebrate. Most have heard that the name Canada originated from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata, meaning “village” or “settlement”. The French explorer Jacques Cartier used the word Canada to refer not only to the speciﬁc village, but the entire area and by 1545 European

books and maps had begun referring to the region along the St Lawrence River as Canada. Upon Confederation in 1867, Canada was adopted as the name for the new country. So, with that little piece of history out of the way, how much do you really know about Canada?

Geography By total area (including its waters), Canada is the second-largest country in the world, with only Russia being larger. If you consider land area alone (that is, deduct the enclosed lakes), however, Canada ranks fourth, the diﬀerence being due to it having the world’s largest proportion of fresh-water lakes, over 2,000,000 of them! Canada has the longest coastline in the world, with a total length of 243,042 kilometres (151,019 miles). Canada’s border with the United States is the world’s longest land border, stretching 8,891 kilometres (5,525 miles). Canada spans 9,984,670 sq km and comprises 6 time zones.

June 21st - July 4th, 2016

Canadian place names are often tongue twisters, for instance Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik, a lake in northeastern Manitoba. It’s name is Cree for “where the wild trout are caught by ﬁshing with hooks.”

About four-ﬁfths of the population lives within 150 kilometres (93 miles) of the US border.

Canada and Denmark both lay claim to a small uninhabited island the strait that separates Ellesmere Island from northern Greenland. In 1984, the Danish Minister for Greenland planted the Danish ﬂag on the Island and left a little message saying “Velkommen til den danske ø” (Welcome to the Danish Island).] It is also said he left a bottle of brandy and that Canadians have reciprocated with their own sign, the ﬂag of Canada and bottles of Canadian Club.

Canada’s lowest recorded temperature was -81.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-63 C) on February 3, 1947 in Snag, Yukon.

Demographics The 2011 Canadian census counted a total population of 33,476,688, an increase of around 5.9 percent over 2006. By December 2012, Statistics Canada reported a population of over 35 million, signifying the fastest growth rate of any G8 nation. Between 1990 and 2008, the population increased by 5.6 million, equivalent to 20.4 percent overall growth.

Weather

The heaviest rainfall ever recorded was in Buﬀalo Gap, Saskatchewan. On May 30, 1961 25 centimeters fell in less than an hour. That’s ten inches! The worst blizzard in Canadian railway history occurred between January 30 and February 8, 1947, when 10 days of blowing snow buried towns and trains from Calgary to Winnipeg. Some Saskatchewan roads and rail lines remained impassable until spring. Children stepped over power lines on their way to school and people dug tunnels to their outhouses.

on trees. The greatest single-day snowfall was 145cm at Tahtsa Lake, BC on February 11, 1999.

Flora and Fauna Canada is home to approximately 55,000 diﬀerent species of insects. There are about 200 species of mammals and about 630 bird species in Canada. 80% of the world’s maple syrup is made in Canada and 91% of that is made in the province of Quebec alone. The Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba have more snakes in a concentrated area than anywhere else in the world. Tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes gather there every year. On the other hand, there are no snakes on the island of Newfoundland.

Canada’s longest, deadliest heat wave, July 5-17, 1936, saw temperatures top 44° C in Manitoba and Ontario. The intense heat killed 1180 people, twisted steel rail lines and bridge girders, buckled sidewalks, wilted crops and baked fruit

ASK THE CHEF RHUBARB Colin Sifton here again, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering, with another answer to your question. This week I had a visit from a lady selling rhubarb. It is that time of year again, when we see many products coming to the market and rhubarb is one of them. Made me think that I eat and use rhubarb but I don’t know a lot about it. Rhubarb can be traced back to China over 2,700 years ago. It was harvested not for food but for medication and was brought west by traders to Europe, making it to North America in 1820. Starting in Maine and Massachusetts, this plant moved with the settlers north, west and south. This was a bit of a surprise to me because all the rhubarb I knew grew in the backyard, wild. I often thought that it was just part of the landscape that we discovered as settlers, but now know that it came from far away over thousands of years.

Now rhubarb, we consider a fruit, because the most common use is in jams, tarts, crumbles and pies. It is not a fruit but a plant with a highly poisoned leaf with the stock being edible. The stock is similar to celery and comes in different colours, the most common colour is green with red. Some believe the more red, the sweeter or less tart. I believe it is sunlight and the age of the plant determines colour, not sweetness. Since rhubarb is tart, it is always cooked with sugar. It also combines well with other fruits and berries to offset the tartness. In this area of the world, it is one of the first harvestable plants; coming out at the same time or just after fiddleheads and grows along river beds and damp areas, just like fiddleheads. I would not suggest combining the two, but many feasts have seen both on the menu. Not too many things are free anymore but this is one of those things that grows

in our backyards. I bet there are many of you who have seen this plant growing but never did anything with it. It is easy to harvest and easy to prepare. Just remove to large leaf, cut the stocks in one inch pieces and cook with sugar or sweetener of your choice. It is great on ice-cream and oatmeal. It can be served with pork and even fish. It is a gift that doesn’t get used as much as it should and it has travelled a very long way over a long period for us to enjoy. 0040

CANADA DAY ON THE BELLEISLE The countdown is on to Canada Day on the Belleisle. The planning committee has been busy planning activities, music, food and a great line up of entrants for the parade. The day always begins with Breakfast & Bake Sale, sponsored by the youth of Outreach Pentecostal Church, followed by the parade and opening ceremonies from the wharf. New this year will be a Show & Shine following the parade. New events have been planned for the afternoon, and many popular events will be back. Local groups will be fundraising, including the BES Pool committee, with a great variety of food items. The Silent Auction, 10:00am6:00pm, will definitely be worth checking out and local craftspeople will be offering their handiwork. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget tea at the hotel from 1:003:00pm. The day will draw to a close with music during the evening from the wharf and stories and local folklore at Bayview Cemetery. The Grand Finale is always the fireworks at dusk (launched from the wharf) and promises to be a great display to end the day.

If you would be interested in putting an entry in the parade or getting a spot for your craft table (not yard sale items), please leave a message at 4852514. See you there!!! 4121

EMERGENCY MEASURES RETURN TO NORMAL Good evening your Worship and Councillors. Tonight I will brief you on the Town’s response to Hurricane John and where the Senior Staff, Fire Chief and Police Chief believe we at. Six days ago, Hurricane John brought winds of over 140 km/h and 200 mm of rain into the Town. Before the Hurricane struck Council provided a State of Local Emergency Declaration to allow us to warn citizens of the severe danger that John represented and activate our Severe Weather Plan. As a result, Reception Centres were activated and available for the citizens to receive water, food and shelter. With the assistance of the Red Cross, the Town has assisted over 670 families. All of these families have either returned home or have been provided emergency lodging by the Province. With the telephone land lines and cell towers damaged, the Loyalist City Amateur Radio (HAM) Club operators provided emergency communications

between NBEMO Regional and Provincial Headquarters, Town Hall, the Reception Centres and a mobile team for the Mayor. The phone company has restored all phone and cellular services will be operational by midnight. Thank you to all the neighbours, who assisted others impacted by John. There are many stories of neighbours sharing of water, food and shelter for those whose homes were damaged. Without their help we would not have been able to have such a positive response. The Emergency Operations Centre’s new mission, will be coordinating the resources being sent in from the Province and local business. The outpouring of private industry, by the provision of staff and materials, at no cost to the Town, is a demonstration of the “helping heart” of our business neighbours. Police responded to over 300 calls -

even, with the assistance of Ambulance NB and the Fire Department, the birth of a baby boy. His mother picked John as his middle name. The Fire Department answered one 143 calls for service including included flooded basements, rescue of drivers stuck in flooded areas, two home fires, and medical assistance calls with Ambulance NB. Our Works and Water Department cleared streets, Community Service operated reception centres, Town Hall support staff worked phones and brought families together. Our Town Administrator and senior staff operated the Emergency Operations Centre and maintained contact with Council. The Town Administrator, Police Chief, Fire Chief and myself, as EMO Director recommend that Council declare the State of Local Emergency over. My thanks for your support of our EMO and for following the Be Prepared – Not Scared program. 0039

ZOO NEWS From tigers to lions to gardens and bees Cherry Brook Zoo (CBZ) is busy! Note: Summer zoo hours have begun. The zoo is now open from 10:00am until last admission at 7:00pm, up to Labour Day weekend. Zoo Summer Students are arriving. They are a great help working at the zoo all summer. Animal news: three Alpacas arrived: two five-year-old females and one two-year-old male. Alpacas are related

to llamas but smaller. Karma our Siberian Tiger will soon begin a new life at Calgary Zoo. Since 1991 your zoo continues to work with the International Species Survival Program (SSP) for Siberian Tigers. Karma was sent by SSP to CBZ to grow up. Now SSP has Karma at #1 on the list of breeding tigers in Canada. We shall miss Karma with her beauty and attitude. However it is time for Karma to share her genes for a new generation

of Canadian Siberian Tigers. SSP will send CBZ another young Siberian Tiger to care for as we watch it grow up. The new Reptile House continues to amaze Zoo visitors. Lions are coming in September. Zoo management visited the Nova Scotia zoo to see the three-month-old male lion cub that is coming to CBZ. Another lion cub will come from Ontario. Once again the magnificent lion roars will spread through the zoo and Rockwood Park trails. Junior Zoo Keeper Day camp for children ages 6-9 and 10-13 is weekly from June 27 - September 3.

IN THE GARDEN TAKE TIME TO LOOK One of the most important things a gardener can do is to LOOK. ~ Elsa Bakalar. Such wisdom! We can get so busy weeding, edging, rock picking etc that we scarcely get a decent overview of the garden and miss out on the beauty of it. A wander through it, coffee mug in hand, just to enjoy the fruits of your labour, mulling on what might need to be moved, divided or discarded, is not only satisfying for the soul, but beneficial for the overall good of the property. Looking closely as we weed will reveal bugs and slugs, ants and earwigs that require immediate dismissal and after the recent, vitally needed rain thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of slugs to deal with. Because of the incredibly dry spring we will doubtless be inundated with Chinch bugs, these pests thrive in dry grass and love it when, in response to a withering lawn, they are treated to a high Nitrogen fertilizer. If on top of these ideal conditions the enthusiastic lawn

builder chooses to plant predominantly with Kentucky Bluegrass seed, then the bugs will think they are in heaven, so, the answer is to keep the ground well watered, a few shade trees here and there will provide a moving shade line and the more compost and organic matter that is incorporated into the lawn then the happier it will be. Most commercial products that are advertised as Chinch bug killers unfortunately kill off their natural predators, leaving the pests to increase without a worry in the world. The next full moon is due on June 20 and may very well bring frost and certainly a very cold night, a wise gardener will wait until after this time to plant out the tender stuff; indeed, cool nights do tend to retard the growth of all plants and those patient enough to wait are rewarded with stronger and more productive chaps. Tomatoes will produce much stronger root systems if the lower two pairs of leaves are removed prior to planting, then the whole stem should be buried

up to the base of the remaining leaves; in very short order the plant will produce roots all along the buried stem, which of course, will provide more channels through which the tomato plant can suck up the nutrients required. Needless to say, the better the soil you plant in the better the end product will be; however, more is not better when it comes to manure and the high Nitrogen fertilizers, too much and you will end up with masses of foliage and very little in the way of fruit. Lilacs are in the last stage of blooming, as you remove the spent blossoms take time to appreciate the beauty that they have provided. Blessings. 0045

MORE THAN FITNESS STICKING WITH IT FOR SUMMER As the weather warms up and vacations begin, many of us find it hard to stick to our regular workouts and end up straying from our fitness plan. In addition, with summer barbeques and social events happening all around us, our eating habits tend to shift as well; by the time fall rolls back around, we often find ourselves having lost the strength gains we have worked so hard for over the winter months and carrying a few extra pounds from too many social events. While our routines may shift over the summer months, there are lots of ways to remain active and stick to your program without having to hit the gym. By planning ahead, you can not only stick to your plan, but you can also take advantage of the chance to take your workouts outside. Here are a few tips to keep you on track throughout the summer months so you will not be disappointed in the fall. As the old saying goes, change is as good as a rest! Change up your routines in the summertime to keep things fresh and

new. If you normally go to the gym in the evenings, but want to save this time to get out and enjoy the nice weather after work, change things up and try for an early morning workout; this will rev up your energy and metabolism for the whole day. If you are not a morning person don’t despair - take your workout outside. There are lots of ways to get a great strength workout outdoors in a park or a playground; chin ups on the monkey bars, dips on a park bench or push-ups in the grass to name just a few. You can challenge your muscles and work your body with little to no equipment, while enjoying fresh air or watching the kids in the park. Another great way to stay active in the summer is to turn social gatherings in to chances for activity. Rather than sitting around the backyard with friends, consider taking a walk through the trails, organizing a game of Frisbee or beach volleyball or digging out your bikes. Getting active with friends is a great way

to socialize and enjoy some company while avoiding being sedentary and consuming the extra calories that often come along with social gatherings. When you do plan for get togethers with friends, think about the menu and take advantage of all the wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables available this time of year. Summer is a wonderful time to get out and enjoy all the beautiful scenery and there are many ways to stay active throughout this time of year. Take advantage of the warmer weather to try some new outdoor activities - your body will thank you! Edited for space, see full article at: ossekeag.ca. 0044

LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER We believe that if a woman with cancer can be helped to look good, chances are she’ll feel better, her spirits will be lifted and she’ll be empowered to face her illness with greater confidence. We like to call it a ‘makeover for the spirit’. Look Good, Feel Better workshops are held on the third Monday of each month from 1:30-3:30pm.

MUSINGS SO WHAT’S THE PLAN? A couple of issues ago when we shared with you the news that the sale of Ossekeag Publishing had fallen through, Mike had said we were committed to staying open at least until the end of June while we figure out where we are and where we are going. Well, we are not closing at the end of June. Much as I want to retire (since Mikie already pretty much has been for the last couple of years) I would hate to shut down and fold up these great community magazines. The plan is that we will continue through to the end of this year in hopes of finding a buyer. If no buyer has appeared the likelihood is we will “quietly fold up our tent and silently steal away”, to paraphrase Longfellow. Okay, I will likely do it quietly . . . Mikie could be another matter. It is real easy to retire when you work for someone else. Had I still been with the federal government I would have simply

picked a date and given my boss my written notice and said farewell. Likely there would have been a few meetings with HR (Human Resources), and for sure there would be lots of paperwork, but it would have been a pretty easy process. Just another cog in the wheel. Guilt free. As a small business owner, not the case. If the business does not sell, the only option is shut down, which leaves many others negatively affected. Staff who lose their jobs. Advertisers who are left with much more limited choices as to how to reach their customers. Readers who depend on us for news of what is going on in their communities. How can you help, if you want to assist in my endeavour to keep Ossekeag Publishing going for many years to come? We survive on advertising dollars. We run an operation as lean as it can go,

so the solution is for this business to be a strongly financially viable operation that would be attractive to someone to purchase. Encourage local small businesses to advertise with another small local business. If you know of someone who is a potential purchaser, please get in touch with Mike at mike@ossekeag. ca (me, I’m busy running the day-to-day operation). It’s a tough business to make a living at, but it is extremely rewarding in many other ways. “Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.” ~ Walt Disney. 0001 Debbie Hickey President, Ossekeag Publishing

MOPSY: Mopsy - Is a 4 year old, rather large, short-haired

calico. She has a beautiful coat and large green eyes. Mopsy is very affectionate and talkative. However, she does not enjoy the company of other felines. Therefore, as we have had to segregate her from the others she doesn’t receive the attention she deserves. She’s been at the Sanctuary for 1 month and needs to find a permanent home as soon as possible. Mopsy has been spayed, vaccinated and parasites taken care of.
