The Maritime Provinces and the State of Maine are home to what is referred to as the Acadian Forest. It is a mixture of trees from the North (boreal forest) such as fir and white birch, and a more southerly tree mix such as hemlock, white pine and sugar maple. Before European settlement the Acadian Forest was dominated by the southerly trees largely because they are longer lived species and largely tolerant to high levels of shade found in a mature forest land. As our early pioneers began widespread cutting and creating relatively large gaps in the forest canopy, the boreal species gained an advantage and so today many woodlots will contain more fir than red spruce and more white birch than sugar maple or beech. Thus, we have experienced the borealization of the Acadian Forest, dominated by trees that are mostly near the end of their southern range. With the arrival of climate change, here is what we can expect to occur. First, trees that are from the north will likely suffer. We can reasonably expect that fir, spruce, jack pine, poplar (aspen) will likely die off over time and, hopefully, be replaced by more heat loving species. Just a note - If your micro-climate is relatively cool, by virtue of being near the Fundy coast or on a high hilltop, the effects of climate change might be lessened. A five degree temperature rise along the coast will likely be close to the the temperatures currently experienced

in downtown Sussex or Fredericton. Along with an environment that is unfriendly to many of our trees, climate change will likely bring an increase of tree insects and disease that has been previously moderated by colder winters. Warmer winters in BC has allowed the Mountain Pine Beetle to destroy over 50% of the commercial volume of lodgepole pine in the province!! THE DANGER - Sustainable management of our forests allows healthy growing trees to absorb and capture carbon from the atmosphere, thereby alleviating the effects of the greenhouse gases that we create every day and thus slowing climate change. Should climate change cause a collapse of a significant portion of our forest, such as it has in BC, these dead trees will decay and further add to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and thereby accelerate climate change. One Canadian expert calculates that the dead lodgepole pine of BC will contribute more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than all other sources in the province combined.

ASK THE CHEF EDIBLE FLOWERS Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. We had a couple in this week asking about edible flowers. They were thinking of planting some in their garden and wondered which would be good ones to plant. This made me think of a number of ideas. I thought I would share a few. There are so many edible flowers in the world, that it would take less time to list those which are not edible - roses, tulips, nasturtiums and violets, just to name a few. Edible flowers have been used for many years as a way to liven up salads or even cooked in a dish. Most blossoms are edible as they eventually become fruits or vegetables. We use to made a dish by piping salmon mousse into pumpkin blossoms and poaching it. Made for a great presentation but came with a high price. The main way that we see edible flowers
is in a salad or as a garnish on the plate. One of the most expensive edible flowers is saffron. It consists of the stigmas and styles collected from the inside of a type of crocus flower and can fetch up to $15 a gram for good saffron. Most of us do not know what to do with saffron and therefore why pay the price. Knowing from experience, real saffron has such a unique flavour and produces a one of a kind yellow colour that if you took it away from a dish, that dish would always taste incomplete. I was on Vancouver Island at a place called Sook Harbour House. They advertised that 98% of the landscape was edible and they would use these plants and flowers in every dish and decor in the Inn. Quite a unique place and a great idea, but of course they live in a different climate which makes it easier to grow so many different kinds of edibles. If you want to know if a flower is edible,
Tree Care

just look it up on the internet or in a book. It will surprise you how many different kinds you have growing in your backyard already. If you are having a dinner party, pick some violets and add a few pedals to your salad. Your guests will surely be impressed. Remember that just because the petals are edible, all of the flower may not be. It is important to know what part of any plant you can use and what you should be throwing out. Flower gardens are now not only pretty to look at but practical as well. 0040

DANCE THEATRE PRESENTS MOVEABLE WALLS Rondos Dance Theatre (RDT) proudly presents the premiere of Moveable Walls, which will include some remounted work by local choreographer Georgia Rondos and premiere Moveable Walls and Five Part Ending. This year we are proud to welcome Artist in Residence Liam Caines of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Liam will be collaborating on new choreography and offering a Master Class at Port City Dance Academy. Other invited dancers include Clare Bassett, Jane Alison McKinney and local dancers, Karen Galbraith, Kleis
Rondos-Duchesne and Danielle Robertson. Moveable Walls will also feature the very interesting art installation by local visual artist Mary Fleet, created especially for this choreography, she says: “Sometimes we don't know how much our physical environment affects us until we leave it and find ourselves yearning for those missing shapes. Do we try to recreate them in our new place, find something familiar enough to latch onto or do we let go entirely.” Join us for an after show talk with Artist in Residence Liam Caines. A reception to follow Thursday’s show, please stay and meet all the artists! Our annual productions give local dancers and artists the opportunity to work alongside professional guest artists, from across Canada. Our goal is to broaden interest in concert dance in the region and promote a higher standard of modern dance in our community. We are proud to say that we have built a reputation for producing quality shows and put Saint John on the map as a place to experience modern dance. Moveable Walls will take place on June 29 & 30, 7:30pm at BMO Studio Theatre (112 Princess Street, SJ). Tickets are $20 & $15 for students. 4100

Q. Are there ways to manage my financial risk? A. Businesses that are successful take the job of
managing risk very seriously. They have a plan to achieve their goals and take actions to try to minimize the risks which could set them back or potentially bankrupt the business. Running a household for an individual is surprisingly similar. Following are some of the strategies used to manage personal risk: • Budget to live within your means. Take on large and long-term obligations cautiously, considering potential “what if” scenarios (we have to move, job changes, relationship breakup, children …) • Long-term budgets to achieve long term goals in housing, child education, retirement or travel. • Proper insurance to guard family health and assets. Is it available in changing situations ( new employer, relationship changes). • Savings and cash reserves available to deal with emergency problems or opportunities. • Prearranged borrowing which is already available to deal with unforeseen financial issues or opportunities. • Manage and improve how you are viewed by lenders by keeping up to date with your credit reports and credit score and the accuracy of the content in them. Setbacks will occur but not every business or individual will be impacted the same. Giving attention to managing risk will give you the best chance of minimizing the damage caused by these setbacks.

IN THE GARDEN RENEWAL, PEACE & PLEASURE “How fair is a garden amid the toils and passions of existence”. ~Benjamin Disraeli. He certainly had a point! We are inclined to think that a garden should be a thing of perfection when in fact it should, primarily, be a source of renewal, peace and pleasure; at this time of year, when
the sales of mulch seem to appear in every community, we are encouraged to think that perfection in a work free garden can easily be obtained by dumping loads of cedar mulch, thickly around every plant in the garden and then sit back and watch! How dull and how dangerous!

On pathways mulch will certainly deter the growth of weeds and, if spread when the soil is very moist will help to retain moisture; however, around the plants and bushes it is far more likely to gobble up all the goodness in the soil, eventually leading to puny plantings. It provides a ritzy environment for ants, earwigs and the like to procreate like mad and stronger weeds will continue to flourish. That being said! It is possible to use it with advantage, particularly in places that tend to dry out quickly, by applying it after a good soaking of rain; there needs to be a good six inches of bare ground around each plant which will then be dressed with a mixture of good black earth, compost and well rotted manure (the bagged type is fine). Once this is done, a wary eye needs to be on the lookout for pests that nest in the mulch and quick dispatch systems activated. The spring garden is truly a beautiful, inspiring and fulfilling sight; in order to keep the garden fresh and appealing it’s important to cut the flower stems of the spring bulbs as close to the ground as possible once they have finished blooming; the leaves need to stay on the plant since they nourish the bulb. Small weeds are germinating all over the ground and a quick raking or scrubbing around with a fork will expose their roots to the sun and with any luck, will put an end to them; leave them for a week and they will have to be individually dug out! The lilacs are now blooming and filling the air with fragrance, to ensure the best possible performance next year, those blossoms should be cut off just as soon as the bloom has faded and the oldest branches removed at ground level; lilac send out a great many new shoots and these should be selectively cut out, too many and they will rot due to overcrowding. R e m e mb e r, perfection is NOT a requirement, ENJOYMENT is the goal! Blessings. 0045 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

LISTEN IN MUSIC ON PATIOS AND IN PARKS One of the best things about this time of year is the amazing concert series’ that are happening in our greater area. One that I’m particularly interested in is the one happening in Rothesay at the Shadow Lawn Inn Thursday evenings. Some amazing intimate shows have happened over the years at the Inn, but this new series is going to take it to all time new high which will include unparalleled musical talent and a delicious dinning experience. What a great way to spend a date night or just hanging out with friends and family. “We have tried music at the Inn in the past and it was well-received. Now that our dining has been renovated and our patio is proving to be a popular spot to dine, we thought it was time to reintroduce local music. The consistency of offering it on a weekly basis is important so people always know they can expect great
local music on Thursday nights on the patio.” Mary Ann Gallagher tells me in how the idea of the series came to fruition. “Our patio is unique. We are secluded enough that we can have 30 guests eating yet they won’t hear what other people are saying. Our patio is very spacious. Guests will be able to enjoy their meal with wonderful music in the background. We know that the musicians we have engaged will be of the same quality as our food and service. It’s going to be a great fit.” Mary Ann elaborates on how the evenings will go. Go to: shadowlawninn.com for more info. Note: July 21 - Adam Washburn will be rescheduled due to a private event happening at the Inn. This will certainly be a special way to enjoy dinner out all while enjoying some of New Brunswick’s best up and coming talent.

Caps off to you, Graduates!
It
’s finally here. Not just the end of the school year, but the end of 13 years of education. You are ready to move on to a new adult you. Congratulations. Graduation ceremonies are a celebration of this achievement, a public recognition of the time and effort required to get to this point. Graduation is also referred to as commencement, as it signifies the beginning of the next stage in life. You march in as students and you march out as young adults ready to move forward in
your life as an adult. The graduation ceremony is full of traditions, which tie us to the past and stretch out in front of us to the future. The academic gowns, for instance, date back to the beginning of universities in 12th century Europe. Early universities were chilly places and students were forced to improvise to keep warm. Since most of those early students were aspiring clerics or already clerics, they started the practice of wearing long robes
Good Luck Class of 2016
with hoods for heat. Within a few years, gowns became the official daily dress of academics. Today the robes are worn only during ceremonies. As for the cap, also known as the mortarboard due to it resembling the flat board used by bricklayers to hold mortar, it is simply a square, flat board fastened to a skullcap with a tassel fastened to its center. By the 15th century, the mortarboard cap was incorporated into the standard garb for many scholars.

Anglophone South School District Congratulates the Graduates of 2016.
We celebrate you and wish you all the best in the future.
Why that cardboard square shape? Most historians believe it simply signifies the shape of a book to give a scholarly appearance. So what comes next? You may be planning on going on to college or university, you may be planning on going to work rather than sign up for more schooling right now, you may be uncertain what you want to do next. There is a whole world of possibilities and now you get to choose. In the words of Dr Seuss, “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”
Remember, no matter what path you choose to follow today you are not locked into it forever. Career experts predict the average person will switch careers (not jobs, but careers) four to five times over his or her lifetime. Life is full of surprises and you never know what exciting possibilities the future holds. Part of the adventure is really figuring out who you are and what you value. There a few things you can do, however, to keep yourself open to recognize those opportunities when they come your way. You can start by identifying what you love, then make sure what you are doing is moving you toward that goal. Life will get in the way and it is real easy to get caught up in the “busy work” of day to day living. But if your goal is really what you want, you have to ensure that some time is spent on a regular basis moving toward it, not just living. If you set aside a little time every day to work on your

EMERGENCY MEASURES SMEACC I walked into the Emergency Measures Committee and said “Your attention please. EMO has been activated as a Hurricane is approaching!” The Deputy Fire Chief answered “Got you Brian, you did not say EXERCISE, EXERCISE”. “You’re right Deputy” I replied. “This is not an Exercise. NBEMO has sent a warning out that a Hurricane is coming our way.” The first thing that is done for a briefing at our organization is to follow the SMEACC format: Situation – Hurricane Brian is coming towards us. It will arrive within the next six hours. Winds over 120 KM/hr and rains of 100mm are expected. Mission – To prepare the Town for the impact of the storm. Ensure the citizens are informed. Execution – All departments will activate their severe weather plan (Hurricane). The EOC is open. Additions – The Loyalist City Amateur Radio Club will provide four base station
operators and six mobile Ham operators. Communications – Normal communications in place. Emergency communication systems will be deployed no later than three hours before impact. Command and Control – Normal at this time. Police, fire and department heads are to evaluate the requirement for a declaration of a state of local emergency. Council has been requested to meet in two hours for our report on this. This briefing sets in motion the emergency plan that had been developed, tested and trained on for the Town. All vehicles will be checked, fueled and made ready. Employees have been notified to prepare for their deployment to support the Emergency Operations Centre and setup the reception centre. Staff coming in on the later shifts, are being sent home and told to prepare for the Hurricane; lawn furniture and loose items stored away, extra water run in the bathtub, batteries and flashlights made ready. A number of our staff purchased the RED
CROSS Emergency Kits and we know they will have a quick start for being ready. A warning has been sent to the Emergency Alert people signed up to receive it. Prepared media releases have been sent to the radio and TV stations. Staff for the Emergency Operations Centre have started to arrive. Log books started, telephones checked, emergency generator warmed up. The first HAM operators have arrived and emergency communications have been made with NBEMO, Town Hall and the Fire Department. We are ready to support the Town and our citizens. “Be prepared – Not Scared” means we are ready to go! 0039

FAMILY MATTERS MURALS, MOVEMENT, MUSCLES & MESS With the end of the school year approaching, parents are faced with finding activities for their children to do. While children should enjoy their summer away from school, they can still engage in productive and meaningful play. Keep Moving. Kids need physical activity to grow, learn and develop healthy habits. Get into the routine of taking walks as a family, going to the park, swimming, building an age appropriate obstacle course, or playing sports. These activities can also provide opportunities for social interaction. Motor Skills. Whether it’s shoe tying, jumping rope, riding a bike, or learning to surf, summer is the perfect time for children to learn a new skill. Parents can make trying a new skill fun by practicing it for just a few minutes each day. Get Messy. Just as children learn through movement, they also learn
from using all their senses. By getting messy, children gain knowledge about their environment and the world around them. Going to the beach, digging in the dirt, planting a garden, smelling flowers, picking berries, using sidewalk chalk and finger painting are not only enjoyable ways to get messy, but develop strength, fine motor and visual motor skills too. Hand Muscles. Summer break is a great time to exercise your children’s hands so they can be successful at writing and daily activities like dressing and shoe tying. Squeezing, pulling, rolling, gripping and pinching are all needed when playing with dough, Legos, beads, spray bottles, sponges and on the monkey bars. Writing in shaving cream, sand, or finger paint combines mess with fine motor development! Mural Making. Don’t forget that hand strength depends on core strength. Animal crawls, push-ups and
wheelbarrow walks help to build core strength. Coloring while lying on the floor or using an easel or wall, strengthen arms, as well as the core. Creating a family or friendship mural encourages good posture, the use of the small muscles of the hands, can improve pencil grasping and increase wrist strength. This summer, promote independence and new skill building that incorporates fun and creativity. 0006

FIRST PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY FAIR Students from grades 10 through 12 participated in the first ever Physical Geography Fair in the province on June 1st, 2016 at Rothesay High School. The main focus of the fair was to promote big ideas of Earth Science and to recognize the many aspects covered by this topic. Several projects featured in the fair were projects on Stonehammer Geopark, which revealed great awareness and understanding of this natural resource. Gros Morne National park was another great topic covered by students Abby Blaney and James Duffley. They say that the most interesting thing they discovered about their topic was “that the Western Brook Pond is a fjord that was carved out of glaciers.” There were over 50 students participating in this event as well as many guest judges. Rothesay High School Physical Geography teacher, Jayne Kingston, and Joan Pearce of
Stonehammer, helped organize this excellent event which gave students an opportunity to be enriched in Earth Science in a creative and entertaining way! Jayne Kingston is pleased with the outcome of the event and says a great part of the fair is that it “Links student experiences in the class to the real world. It gives purpose to their learning.” The judging panel was comprised of members from the community as well as parent volunteers. Community judges included Randy Miller (Paleontologist at the NB Museum), Darren White (ASD-S), Tyler O’Rourke and Rebecca Jefferson (Port SJ), Megan Mainwaring (Stonehammer), Neil Bauman (Red Cross), Fraser Forsythe (Canaport LNG). Parent judges included, Shaena MacSween, Charlene Carroll, Dwight Northrup, Ron Marcolin, Neveen Sheppard, and Brenda Keyes. Students Justin McClintock and Zach
O’Brien travelled to Brookville and collected limestone to add to their project display. Each student that held a personal connection to their project found that their trip further expanded their knowledge and research. Students were evaluated on the science behind their topic, the links to big ideas of Earth Science, Stonehammer Geopark, and their own life. The projects that best fit this criteria were awarded prizes and ribbons ranging for students choice, staff choice as well as first, second, and third overall. It was clear great effort and research was put into the projects, marking a successful physical geography fair. 4109

GONE FISHING BOTTOM FISHING WITH BAIT This month I would like to take some time to talk about one of my favourite ways to fish; bottom fishing with bait. There are a number of techniques used to fish the ocean, rivers or lakes and each can lead to wonderful results that you may not be able to match through your typical cast and retrieve fishing. In the Bay of Fundy, bottom fishing is a common approach for fishing flounder, halibut, dogfish shark, or even sculpin which tend to stay close to the ocean floor. I’ve even bought up the odd crab that refused to let go of my line while reeling it up! In the Kennebecasis River, bottom fishing is the key to catching sturgeon, and can also lead to eels, tommy cod, white or yellow perch, catfish, and even the odd striped bass. My personal best striped bass, a fat 38” hog, was caught bottom fishing for sturgeon one night in October a few years back! To effectively bottom fish, you generally
for g n i Grow ars! 50 Ye
want to keep your bait in one place, which means you need to be safely anchored from a boat or stationary on shore. A weight, heavy enough to hold your bait stationary is the most important part. As you get into deeper waters or stronger currents, the amount of weight needed will change. I use between 2 and 4 oz when sturgeon fishing in 20 feet of water, but in deeper parts of the Saint John, I have to bump that up to 7-10 oz. You can set up your lines with the weight at the bottom, and then place one or more hooks with bait above it. In other cases you may want your weight above your bait, which will cause the bait to drift with the current along the bottom away from your weight. I like this approach, using a slider to affix my weight on. The slider allows for the weight to do its job while not impeding the sensitivity of the line. Sometimes people even put a weight in the middle. Really, it all depends on the
type of fish you are targeting and which presentation they may be most likely to strike. As for your type of hooks and bait, it depends on what you are fishing for. For flounder you want small hooks, for sturgeon larger hooks. Nightcrawlers are effective bait pretty much anywhere, as is cut up fish, sea snails, or even chicken hearts! As with most things in fishing, the most important part is to experiment. You may end up with a surprise like the 34” dogfish shark I caught in the Kennebecasis bottom fishing though the ice! 0034

LIVE WELL BUILDING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS - PART II According to relationship experts, relationships require skills, not just good will. In other words, contrary to the Beatles song, “All You Need is Love,” love requires learned skills. So, what exactly are the required skills to grow healthy relationships? Earnie Larsen identified five core relationship skills: Communication, Commitment, Compromise, Caring and Carism, often referred to as the “five c’s.” Good communication, he says, is “trust in action.” If communication in a partnership or even friendship is stymied because of fear-rejection, disapproval, punishment, withdrawal of affection, etc. - the relationship is far from healthy. In healthy relationships, it is okay to express oneself, to have different opinions, to be heard without interruption, ridicule, or scorn. In healthy relationships, we become each other’s best cheerleader and welcome differences, or at least try to understand them and treat the other with respect.
Commitment means that we will do what we say we will and that we can be counted on - we say what we mean and mean what we say! Repeated failures to keep commitments leads to lack of trust, and lack of trust can lead to resentment, hurt feelings, lack of intimacy, and even the death of the relationship. Compromise, Larsen says, means not always having my own way, that if it is not a hill to die on or a previously agreed upon non-negotiable, we can bend and be flexible. Caring is not just saying the “love” word; words are cheap, and behavior speaks much louder. Love is a feeling but it is also a decision and an action. In other words, we decide to love, do loving behaviors, and say loving words. Carism refers to keeping a relationship interesting and alive. What are some ways to do this? It might be travelling to places of interest to both; learning a new skill, such as gourmet cooking, photography, ballroom dancing, etc.; joining a gym or an exercise program or a bowling league. Also, there

is a need for balance - time for ourselves, time for the relationship, and time for family and friends. In addition to lies, secrets, and silence being relationship killers, boredom can also cause people to drift apart. Relationships are living things and they need to be nurtured or they will die. Couples may stay together for a myriad of reasons - finances, children, habit, comfort - but these are not healthy, growing relationships. Rather, they are best described as apathetic. I have heard it said that “the challenge is not in finding a relationship, the challenge is making it work!” If there is distance in your relationship, I encourage you to seek the services of a qualified counsellor before it is too late. 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Diretor

MUSINGS
ONE AND TWO AND THREE I had great plans for the May long weekend, most of which involved gardening. I don’t have a huge garden area to maintain, but it is largely on a slope right next to our driveway. Our gravel driveway. Our gravel driveway which is cleared during the winter with a snowblower. So where do you think all that gravel ends up? Of course . . . all in my flower garden. Which means every Spring I spend hours picking out the gravel and tossing it back on the driveway. I had managed to get this under control by mid-May so the fun parts of gardening were about to begin. Bring on the long weekend! Unfortunately the best laid plans . . . On the previous weekend I developed a painful left thumb. As the weekend progressed the end of the thumb became more and more painful and began to swell and redden. So on Monday I rushed home from work to start spam calling to get an appointment with the KV after hours clinic. Success! Off I go, have it confirmed there is infection going on and come home with a prescription for antibiotics and a prognosis that I should see some improvement within 24 hours.
(That’s ONE.) After 36 hours and not only no improvement but actually seeing the infection continue to spread down the thumb, it was obvious the current course of treatment wasn’t going to do the trick. Plus when I showered there was a red line running from the thumb and up the forearm. This time it was off to the Sussex ER on Wednesday afternoon. Yep, it was spreading alright and required more drastic action. First a round of IV antibiotics, then, oh, oh, it needed to be lanced. When I cautiously asked about freezing, it was a no go. My next question was “What is going to keep my hand from flinching away when you stick in that big needle?” The reply: “You are”. Oh really!!! Then another oral antibiotic to take home with instructions to return in the morning for another round of of IV antibiotics. (That’s TWO.) Bright and early the next morning, back to Sussex ER. Upon examination everything looked to be going in the right direction. The red streaks were fading away, the soreness in the forearm had diminished and the big ugly mess
of my thumb was less swollen. Switch antibiotics again and off I go. (That’s THREE.) So, from someone who might see a doctor once every couple of years for routine maintenance, I went to seeing three doctors in four days. Frightening to think that without modern antibiotics that could have been the end of me. All because of some minor abrasion to my thumb (likely from picking gravel out of my garden) which let in some bacteria that for some reason got a foothold before my immune system was able to zap it. And since it is still a painful mess and largely unusable (although I have learned to tie my sneakers without a left thumb!) no gardening for me on the May long weekend. I am sure the weeds are happy! 0001

Lobsters Try The Humane Way
Caught with traps in the bay, Put in glass cages on display. Huddled together on one side, It looks to me like they’re trying to hide. Then I think “this is insane,” But I’m assured they feel no pain. But I reply “they taste, eat and mate, So I don’t think there’s much debate.” In parts of our world it’s very true, Please don’t ask what they do. But if you must, they’ll surely say: “How do you cook your lobsters from the bay?”
