A couple of weeks ago, we attended the Farm Show in Moncton. I am not sure what interest the missus found in attending, but I am suspicious that it was part of a Pavlov’s dog experiment. “What piece of equipment will cause Mikie to drool the most???” Despite the fact that I am still seeking out a bigger tractor, I have to say virtually every tractor manufacturer had a tractor on display that was soooo darn BIG... that I could only look and wonder... “What in heck would I ever do with that.” I did, however, ... drool … find the small scale logging stuff and portable band sawmills of great interest ... drool. If I can convince the missus to increase my allowance, I may have some announcements somewhere down the road. In other news!! Like the missus, I am sure that many, many of you readers are

just hoping and praying for spring. But… are any of you doing anything about it?? Just as I thought!! A couple of snowstorms ago, I think it was number 47 of the new year, I was looking and realized that I had allowed the house to become surrounded on two sides by deep snow drifts. I also know that with the warming sun if I can get down to some bare ground the sun will start to melt the remaining snow much more rapidly. So, I pledged to open up space all around the house and begin to banish winter one square foot at a time. And so I did!! It was a little scary though. I am blowing a hole through drifts up to 4 feet high and part way through realize that even with about 3 tons of tractor and equipment, I can’t turn!! I am stuck in the channel and turning the steering wheel doesn’t really do much. Driving out and taking another slice of snow gave me enough room to maneuver. So, my plan is... each and every week... clear just another 100 square feet or so!! Hey!! Drop in about mid-August and admire what spring looks like.
Good luck with the coloring contest. Rob Moore, MP Fundy Royal 832-4200

FRESH WITH FOOd WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT GINGER? Life changing health problems are often the trigger for a person’s shift to change their lifestyle. All whole foods have nutritional merit, but some foods are healthier in some ways than others. Foods that fall into the spice category are known to have some of the highest levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, relative to their weight. A pinch of cloves can add more antioxidants to a dish than a pear. However, there is one factor that can nullify the nutritional significance of any food. Is it bioavailable? Bioavailability refers to our body’s ability to absorb the active ingredients of a food. It is possible to consume some foods with high nutrient levels, yet absorb very little. For example, salad dressings, as long as they are homemade. Adding some healthy fats by dressing your salad, or adding a handful of raw nuts or an avocado makes the nutrients in your salad greens and vegetables more bioavailable.
In many cases, combinations of certain foods work better together, than on their own. Anti-inflammatory qualities in foods are among the most sought after in my experience. Many spices have strong antiinflammatory capabilities, but which ones are most easily absorbed by your body? A group of researchers in the US conducted a brilliant study that tested the bioavailability of many of our favourite spices. They enlisted the help of about a dozen groups to each consume realistic levels of specific spices and herbs for seven days. Their blood was then dripped onto human white blood cells that had been exposed to oxidized cholesterol, which is particularly inflammatory and appears in your bloodstream after eating foods like fried chicken. Dr. Michael Greger points out that, “they weren’t dripping the spices themselves on these human white blood cells, but the blood of those who ate the spices. So the results represent what might happen when cells in our body
are exposed to the levels of spices that circulate in our bloodstream after normal daily consumption - not megadoses in some pill.” This study represents what can happen through regular healthy eating versus what happens in the lab or with the aid of expensive pharmaceuticals. In this study, turmeric’s closely related cousin, ginger was found to reduce “all three inflammatory biomarkers. Apart from its ability to seriously flavour a stir fry or a soup, ginger makes fantastic tea, goes great with your veggies and famously offers relief for nausea. However, in my opinion, the greatest thing about ginger is that you can grow it yourself in your house or in your garden. Please stay tuned for my next column about growing ginger in your home. 0039 Dave Wolpin Kredl’s Corner Market

POINT OF VIEW ICE CAVE CONFLICTS Midland is a beautiful place, a rural community surrounded by sprawling dairy farms, rolling hills and valleys, a winery, golf courses and two great restaurants. It's also home of what's quickly becoming one of winter's most popular hiking destinations – the Midland Ice Caves. This little piece of paradise also happens to be where I call home. I've lived here for about eight years now, and can't imagine being anywhere else. We have wonderful neighbours, and enjoy a real sense of community. Here, we also respect each others property and privacy. So, when news started circulating about conflicts between hikers and snowmobile riders on the groomed trail leading to the ice caves, I was a little surprised. After all, it's common knowledge (or so I thought) that the Millstream Valley Snowmobile Club maintains approximately 350 kilometres of snowmobile trails in the area. Members purchase trail passes and hold fundraisers yearly in order to cover
the high costs of maintaining this trail system. The ice caves and the trails leading to them are on private property. Without the generosity of local landowners, neither hikers or snowmobiling enthusiasts would have access to this natural wonder. Despite all that, the actions of a few are quickly tainting the experience for everyone. Jabbing passing snowmobile riders with ski poles and forming a human chain across the trail so riders can't pass by is nothing short of childish. And, it doesn't stop there. Food wrappers, dirty diapers, drink containers, etc., are being left behind to pollute an area we take pride in. And, access to a local business that happens to be located next to one of the entry points is being compromised every weekend. Most people are thoughtful enough to park safely along the side of the main road. However, there are others who think nothing of filling the parking lot of a business reserved for customers to the point that patrons can't safely access their services. This community goes above and beyond to welcome everyone. Members of our
volunteer fire department have even trained in scenarios of rescue from the caves, should an accident ever take place. All we ask in return is for people to respect one another and not abuse the privilege. Two hiking websites, Trail Peak and Hiking NB, have updated their pages to remind visitors that access to the ice caves is a privilege, not a right, and urges visitors to be safe and courteous. “Due to the increased popularity of the Midland Ice Caves this year, there have been some issues between hikers and snowmobilers,” Hiking NB states. “Remember that the Midland Ice Caves are on private land and that it is a privilege, not a right to be allowed to visit them. Please tread lightly when visiting and make sure you don't leave anything behind. It would be tragic if they were no longer available to enjoy.” 0032

COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX PROGRAM The Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) assists thousands of low-income Canadians each year to prepare and submit current or prior year returns. Volunteers use CRAapproved software and can submit current year returns directly over the Internet (older returns have to be printed and mailed). The program is available free of charge to single taxpayers with income under $30,000, or couples under $40,000. Volunteers do not accept returns for those who
are self-employed, in bankruptcy proceedings, or just deceased. This year’s clinic will again be offered at the same location every Tuesday from 9:00am-12:00noon and 1:00-3:00pm until April 28. No appointments are necessary; service is on a first-come first-served basis. Clients may, if they wish, fill in an information sheet and leave their slips for processing later (normally by the next week). For a full listing of clinics, or for further information on the Volunteer Program, visit: cra-arc.gc.ca, or call toll-free 1-855-516-4405 for the Saint John area coordinator of the program. 3371

NEWS FROM KINGS WAY CARE CENTRE Spring is here! It has been a very long winter for many and especially for our seniors at Kings Way Care Centre. With a shortage of volunteer bus drivers and winter storms, some of our residents have been inside since last fall. Our community is very supportive in offering theatre tickets, gardening at qplex as well as participating in classes at both Lakefield Elementary and Fairvale Elementary School. Presently, we have two very dedicated bus drivers – Brian Jensen and Larry Greer who are always quick to sit in the driver’s seat. With warmer weather, we want to get out and about in our community. Therefore, we are in need of a few more bus drivers. Just 1-2 times a week would make a world of difference and give our current volunteers some assistance. The requirements are to have a Class 4 driver’s license, a sense of humour and a few spare hours. For further information, please call Carol at 8471131, ext. 2340. 0025

ASK THE CHEF CABBAGE ROLLS Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Today I was busy making cabbage rolls for Saint Patrick’s Day. Someone asked me where do they come from and why are they associated with Ireland? I didn’t know so I had to go find out. Cabbage rolls are a mixture of beef, lamb or pork with herbs and spices and often rice or barley, wrapped in a leaf of cabbage. This was found all over eastern and western Europe and parts of Asia, but more in the northern parts of these continents. In many cultures all over the world you can find meats and grain wrapped in leaves. Cabbage in a very hardy leaf vegetable that grows more easily in colder climate. This is why it was more popular in the north then the south. In South America you often find dishes prepared wrapped in Banana leaves or corn husks. In south east Asia and
China they use many different leaves to wrap food for cooking and eating. In the northern areas of the world, like the one we live in, our ancestors needed to depend on the harvest to get them through the winter. Only the vegetables that they could grow in our short growing season were available. No grocery store, open seven days a week. People needed to get creative with what they grew. Cabbage, like a lot of the vegetables, were pickled to preserve them through the long winter. It was also one of the last items in the pantry as the weather got warmer. The cook of the house would need to come up with different ways to prepare the cabbage and this was a popular one. Since the majority of immigrants that came to Canada were Irish, cabbage rolls were one of the recipes that they brought with them. Since we have a similar climate as they did and a similar growing season, they would grow the same kinds of vegetables as they did before they left. Bringing seeds from
home in search of land to farm was the goal of most of our first generation. Now St. Patrick’s day is not celebrated the same in Ireland as it is here. Here it seems to be a reason to drink early in the day and in the middle of the week. In Ireland, it is a religious holiday, celebrating the Patron Saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. It was made an official Christian feast day in the 17th century to celebrate the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. So whether you are in it for the drinks or the food or a reason to celebrate your heritage, St. Patrick’s day is one of those days we eat things we don’t usually look for like cabbage rolls, which were as much green as possible and have a drink or two to celebrate o u r heritage.

Your Guide to Your Spring Home Improvements
Spring To It! We’ve survived a record breaking winter that has delivered more snow than most know what to do with. Although you couldn’t tell by looking out your window or at a thermometer, it is officially Spring. Most of us will have to wait a bit longer before the snowbanks melt and we can move freely around outside of the house, but there are a few things you can do
indoors to both freshen it up and to help keep your house in tip-top shape and your energy bills down. Murphy’s Law states that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and at the worst possible time. There’s also an old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So, why not get ahead of the problems and stop them before

something goes wrong and you’re stuck with a big bill. If you follow us on Facebook (and you really should, search Ossekeag Publishing), you’ll know that earlier in the year we warned you about letting the snowbanks build up around your dryer vents and block it shut, which can be a major fire hazard. Now that it’s spring you should take the time to clean out the hose that connects from the back of the dryer to the vent on the outside of your house. This can also become clogged with dryer lint over time. While you’re at it, why not check the hoses behind your washer for cracks and wear. A broken intake hose on your washing machine can quickly turn your laundry room into a swimming pool! With the amount of snow and ice build-up we’ve had, leaky roofs have become a real

problem for some. Calling a professional roofer to fix flashing or loose shingles can really help to ensure that the job is done right and give you peace of mind. Having a clean unobstructed eavestrough will help to make sure any melting snow or Spring rain has a clear path away from your house. If you’ve had snow and ice build-up sitting in your eavestrough all winter it may be a good idea to get up there and make sure that everything is still firmly attached. Beat the summer heat by checking the weatherstripping and caulking of your windows and doors. Any gaps, cracks, or holes should be filled. In the summer those cracks and holes will give the summer’s heat a place to come in. If you have an air conditioner, it’s a good idea to get it serviced in the Spring to make sure its running at top performance and energy efficiently. Believe it or not, it will get warm enough to need it sooner than you think.
Meanwhile this is a great time to tackle some indoor projects before the weather warms up and we all want to spend our time enjoying the outdoors. If you have been thinking your house is looking a little dreary after the winter you would be amazed at what a difference a quick coat of paint can make and at a very low cost. A change of colour can create a whole new mood for a room. If you are concerned that you must match your current furniture colours, think again. There are some excellent covers for sofas and chairs at very reasonable prices that will allow you access to the whole palette of available colours! As for any outdoor building projects you might have, this is a great time to get your planning done so that as the weather warms and the snow melts you will be ready to get started right away. For more complex projects, getting quotes from professionals now can give you a headstart on getting going as soon as the snow melts. If you get in over your head, or just don’t have the time to get through your list, call a professional. They know all the tips and tricks to get the job done for you right.

LISTEN IN CREATIVITY, CONFIDENCE AND KINDNESS “Creative Confident Kids”... do I have your attention? Those three words should do it especially when speaking about our youth in our surrounding communities. I recently caught up via phone with, the
creator/owner and operator of Kidsing Performance Schools, Casey Yerxa about what the school is all about. I initially heard about the school and its programs through my wife Cynthia who took part of it in its early(ier) days. “Essentially Kidsing is a musical theatre performance school where kids can take classes in various different genres of musical theatre including dance, acting,

musical theatre or acrobatics. Our whole primary concern is that children grow their Creativity, grow their Confidence and grow their Kindness.” Casey tells me in expressing what the schools mandate is. “Our biggest transition through our operations has been - initially we’re really into kids who are very serious about dance or musical theatre that wanted to go on. Like the Brandon Jones’, Kyle McVea’s and we’re really into training them. What we also saw was a lot of children who love musical theatre that weren’t necessarily going to go on to be professional performers – we wanted to make sure the program catered to the kids who had a passion to go to do professional work but also for the kids who just wanted to do musical theatre, wanted to sing and dance and develop lifelong skills that they could use”. Sounds fun! It’s truly another amazing program right here in our community which has programs that run year round, as well as their summer programs. Summer is right around the corner after all, right? I was wondering about the kids and families who maybe didn’t have the finances to take part in the programs and Casey cleared that up for me as well by adding. “What we do is we never turn anyone away. Essentially, if there is a child who really wants to attend but it isn’t going to happen money-wise, we can find ways. We are heavily supported by Pro-kids, we can also offer scholarships.” Casey also tells me about another program they are currently developing to take into the schools to help with just that. An amazing initiative! What is really wonderful to hear is how it’s like a family for the kids and that is so important when talking about community as a whole. You can find about the programs happening including the up-coming summer programs by going to: kindsing.ca. Go out there and reach for the stars and always enjoy the journey! 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists

LIVE WELL MANAGING CHANGE Most people, if answering honestly, would rather avoid change simply because it’s unsettling and anxiety-producing to see our lives turned upside down. Despite its inevitability, change can be hard to view positively. I’ve learned, though, that the secret to managing change lies not in avoiding it, but in changing how I see it. Here are a few tips for handling life’s changes with grace: Attempt to reduce the stress that change produces. Think about what you can and cannot control, then take small steps forward in areas where you know you can create visible results. It’s starting to take action that will help you feel better, not resolving the entire situation. Conserve your energy and stop resisting! Don’t waste energy fighting change. Instead, stay present, and commit to learning all you can about acceptance, detachment and letting go. You can choose to channel your energy in more positive, empowering ways.
Once you learn these skills, no change you face will ever be able to unhinge you again. Give yourself time to accept a difficult change on your own timetable. The feelings inherent in the cycle of change are very much like grief. They range from complete denial to sadness to anger and finally to acceptance. The process of change can be a rollercoaster ride, and is experienced differently by different people. Simply put, go only at the pace that’s right for you. See change as an opportunity. Be open to what you can learn from it. Ask yourself "What can this experience teach me?" “How else can I see this?� When you truly accept change, no matter how difficult it is, you are ultimately choosing to grow and mature. See change as a way of personally developing into more than you thought you could be. Keep your eye on your long-term goals. You won’t always feel this way. Remind yourself that things will be different once you get through the change. An
improved life can only manifest when the ‘old foundation� is torn down and a new, more solid life can eventually be built. Many of my clients have told me that a change that at first pulled the rug out from under them, later proved to be a positive change, and one that actually opened new doors of opportunity. Despite their initial worry, eventually everything turned out okay. Use positive self-talk affirming that, “This too shall pass�. In conclusion, the one change you can expect is that things are going to change. Using these few simple strategies can help you s m o o t h l y n a v i g a t e your next transition. 0008

dOLLARS & SENSE SPRING INTO TAX SEASON The days are getting longer and you can hear the birds chirping. Spring is here and with the change in season it brings a lot of financial considerations. One of the potential biggest considerations centres on that it’s tax time. We usually find ourselves in either one of two categories; anticipating a refund or hoping when the bill arrives it’s not as high as last year. So what should you do in either case? One of the issues we see is for those anticipating a refund; the money is spent before it is even received. It could be used to acquire an appliance, go on vacation or pay for a vehicle. What we have also observed is that tax refund being adjusted and the money being requested back. This can happen for many reasons and that can have heavy implications. What we would urge is
20
The Valley Viewer
that consumers not get in the habit of committing the money anywhere until their taxes are complete. Keep the cost in mind of receiving an instant refund, having that time between filing and receiving your refund can improve your financial decision-making. Let’s say the money has not been adjusted, and your refund is yours. The best advice is to take a breather and think about how best to handle that money. There are questions you should ask yourself; should this money be invested? What do I/we need? Will I be satisfied with my decision? I would like to highlight the last point, will I be satisfied. Finances are always personal and your situation is unique, look at the decisions you have made in the past; in what decisions did you feel good and which did you regret. What we suggest you do is save your refund for emergencies and/ or unforeseen expenses. Roof leaks, broken driveways, water drainage, can
take a big bite out of a wallet that is still recovering from high heating bills. If you are always stuck with a tax bill there are a couple things to explore: check out your TD1 at work to make sure it is correct, look into investing in RRSPs (especially if your work matches), explore TFSAs for savings income and if none of that makes a difference talk to a Financial Advisor that will look through your financial situation and make recommendations. Keep in mind if you do receive a tax bill, you will be charged interest if you cannot pay in full by the deadline. The key is to be aware of what is best for you and give yourself the opportunity to make financial decisions that will get you ahead of the game. If you do not know what to do seek the advice you need. 0005 Tamara Kelly Credit Counsellor
MUSINGS SPRING, REALLY? The calendar says it is Spring. If you track the passage of the hummingbird migration (hummingbirds.net/map. html), it looks like Spring is approaching our neck of the woods. I know we are all sick of the white stuff, that no matter how pretty has grown really old, but I refuse to dwell on that. It is, after all, Spring. The Atlantic National Home Show 2015 has come and gone, the Sussex Kiwanis Home & Lifestyle Show approaches. Regardless of what you see outside your window, we will soon enough be complaining about mowing the lawn and fighting blackflies. I am eager to see what my flower garden does this year. This will be the second summer after I transplanted a large number of daylily pieces from my mother’s lovely collection. They all survived and did well last year but this year they should be larger and showier. I
will no doubt want to mark the colours so as to decide what needs shifting around for the best colour combinations. (I was always the kid who kept moving around the multi-coloured Christmas tree lights for the same reason!) I have been fortunate that the deer have left my flowers alone. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the raspberry patch. The first couple of years it did extremely well, but last year the canes were broken and chewed and we got very few berries. Not sure yet if it will get fenced or if some other solution will be attempted, but I would prefer to have to fight off only the grand grand-daughter and occasionally the Jet for the berries (yes dogs like raspberries, or at least the Jet does) and not the deer too! Meantime, I am packing away all those cozy winter blankets and such and bringing out the spring decor items. No matter what it is doing outside, my house will reflect the change of the season.
If you are a proponent of the Law of Attraction, perhaps this will bring Spring along. According to Wikepedia, the law of attraction is the concept that "like attracts like" and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results. Perhaps the combined negative thoughts of all of us complaining about winter is just bringing us more of the same! So . . . it will be Spring in my house and I will not dwell on that four letter word that rhymes with row! “That is one good thing about this world...there are always sure to be more springs.” ~ L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea. 0002
