Hypocrisy - “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.” (Google) You may or may not have seen Mr. Jim Irving, (co-CEO of J D Irving Limited) in various interviews defending the companies forest management practices. The easiest way to locate a couple of these interviews is to simply do a google search for “interviews with Jim Irving”. When you hear, watch or read any of the interviews, he comes across as a man who is deeply committed to doing what is right in the forest and doing no harm to the environment. So one wonders if this is a great act or if in fact he “walks the talk”. Now in one interview Mr Irving stated: “J.D. Irving has been operating a scientific research group for 15 years with six people holding doctorate degrees and a dozen graduate students hired annually for summer employment.” What he did not state was this group apparently was not consulted with at all in regard to the new harvesting plan!! According to one of the PhDs interviewed, the company will listen to them but would not follow any advice that harmed the bottom line. I would suggest, if at all possible, you view the video (episode 6) at “Is our forest really ours” (isourforestreallyours. com) but I will highlight some of the key points. The video documents clear cutting that occurs around cottages that have been built on small parcels of
crown land. Then the video takes us to a view of the Irving fishing lodge on the Restigouche River. Now according to the video producer, Charles Thériault, hundreds of acres surrounding the lodge is designated protected land. What this appears to mean is that one of the provinces leading practitioners of clear cutting and protector of our crown lands, appears to be saying that what is good enough for the rest of New Brunswickers just isn’t good enough for their family. While there is no evidence that the Irvings somehow manipulated the selection of surrounding forest to be protected, out of 3.4 million hectares of crown land, the idea that several hundred hectares was randomly selected around their lodge, does stretch one’s credibility. Reputable news agencies may wish to ask Mr Irving to clarify if their forest management policies only apply to the rest of us, but “not in my backyard”????? This would make a great investigative topic by the Telegraph Journal. We have been assured that they have editorial independence, but do they also have job security???? 0001

KENNEBECASIS REGIONAL POLICE NEWS From time to time the Kennebecasis Regional Police have new parents ask officers about the installation of rear facing child restraint seats. While we do not recommend what car seat to purchase, we can provide some helpful installation advice. First, you should buy the seat that suits your needs. All seats sold in Canada are tested and must pass strict safety standards. Look for a round sticker on your seat with a maple leaf on it. This tells you that this seat model has passed Canadian standards and is approved for use in Canada. Although having the restraint in the middle of the seat may appear to be the safest place to have your child, it may not be the best place. These seats take up a lot of space and you will have to have the front seats adjusted farther forward than you may be accustom to. The driver should always have their seat adjusted so that they can comfortably and safely operate the vehicle. Because of this, the best place for the child restraint may be behind the passenger
seat. All seats have some sort of level on them which indicates that the seat is installed properly. The child restraint seat will have an adjustable base that allows you to get a proper angle. If you have adjusted the angle as far as it will go and you still cannot get the seat properly level, use a pool noodle to raise the front of the seat higher. Cut the pool noodle the width of the seat, place the pool noodle under the seat and tighten. Then check the angle again. Make sure that at least 80% of the base is touching the seat and pool noodle. The biggest issue people have is getting the seat tight enough. To resolve this, while using the Universal Anchor System (UAS), is to put your knee on the seat and put weight on it. Now tighten the UAS by pulling the strap towards you. Once it is tight, grab the base of the seat near the UAS and pull/push it. It should not move more than 1 inch side to side. If it does, tighten again. Make sure that you read the instructions that come with the seat and your vehicle manual for locations of the UAS system. Please check out: childsafetylink.ca for more information. 0031

WeLL ReSTeD by Angie Cummings OSA: THE “NOT SO SILENT” KILLER Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common breathing disorder of sleep. It is marked by heavy snoring, pauses in breathing, gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other factors in OSA include morning headaches, a large neck, being overweight and high blood pressure. There are strong associations between untreated Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease. Those with untreated OSA are at greater risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and early death due cardiovascular problems. This grim outlook can be changed by having your sleep apnea diagnosed and treated. Where to start? STOP and talk to your doctor if you answer YES to any of the following: S - do you SNORE loudly? T - do you feel TIRED? O - has anyone OBSERVED you stop breathing? P - do you have high blood PRESSURE? Your doctor may decide to refer you for a sleep test either in your own home or in a sleep
lab to see if your breathing is disturbing your sleep. Some of the most common treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea include Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), weight loss and Mandibular Advancement Devices. The gold standard in treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. You may have a friend or neighbor who “sleeps with a mask on at night.” Well, that is CPAP. The mask is attached to a machine that generates an air pressure and blows it into the person’s nasal passage at night and essentially splints their throat open so that they can breathe at night the way that they do during the day. They can maintain a deep sleep instead of constantly waking themselves up through the night. This form of treatment has been shown to bring many of the Cardiovascular Risk factors into the normal range. Weight loss is effective at decreasing sleep apnea. Some folks are able to shed enough weight that the extra tissue collected in their throats shrinks enough
to remove the obstruction entirely. A smaller percentage of the population can lose weight but their anatomy is such that their throat still closes off, Mandibular Advancement Devices or MADs are oral appliances, made by your dentist or sometimes available over the counter, that change the position of your bottom jaw in relation to your top jaw. It works very well for some with mild to moderate Sleep Apnea or snoring. Others find that they get jaw pain, or that their bite gets out of alignment. For more information on Sleep Apnea and treatments, to arrange a free talk for your special group or a free at-home sleep study, call Angela Cummings BSc, RRT at Sussex Sleep Clinic Inc., 434-7667. 0047

ASk THe CHeF FIDDLEHEADS Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to a great question while we are still waiting for spring to begin. Every spring, New Brunswickers wait for the harvest of fiddleheads. Fiddleheads are an edible fern that grow along river beds and are found all along the Saint John River Valley. These ferns are picked before they open. Once they open, they are no longer edible and this is why the season is so short. Fiddleheads are a great antioxidant and are high in fatty acids, omega 3, omega 6 and are high in iron. Fiddleheads get their name from the shape’s resemblance to head of string instruments. Cooking fiddleheads properly is very important as they can make you sick if done incorrectly. Because fiddleheads are a fern, they act as an air filter and collect toxins from the air. It is suggested that we not only boil fiddleheads once, but twice with new water. The best way to do
by Colin Sifton
this is to blanch your fiddleheads. This is the process of boiling them until almost cooked, then plunging them into ice water. This will stop the cooking process, preserve the vitamins and keeping the bright green colour. To finish them, bring new water to a boil, add your blanched fiddleheads and bring them back to a boil for about a minute. Blanching your fiddleheads prior to freezing is the best way to preserve them so you can enjoy them all year round. As New Brunswickers, the most popular way to enjoy fiddleheads is to boil them, toss them in butter, salt and pepper. Here are a few other ways to enjoy them. I like to take the blanched fiddleheads and make a salad with them. Toss your fiddleheads with onions, shredded carrots, tomatoes and cucumber with an oil based dressing like Italian to create a great starter to your meal. As a vegetable, I like to take my blanched Fiddleheads and sauté them in a pan with diced onions, chopped bacon and a strong vinegar. The last way I will suggest is to make a Fiddleheads chowder. Add your Fiddleheads to a vegetable stock
with onions, celery and diced potatoes. Thicken with a roux and add heavy cream. Finish it off with some seasoning and maybe something something else to make it your own: diced chicken, diced ham, a different vegetable like parsnips or turnips. Every year at this time I like to use Fiddleheads as much as possible at Holly’s. This is one of New Brunswick’s greatest products and we will be trying to incorporate them as much as possible on our different buffets and as vegetable of the day. Stop by to see some different ways we are using them and if you have a recipe you enjoy, let us know. We are always looking for new ways to enjoy this New Brunswick treasure. 0040

up, up & Away by Ellen Tucker WOW! A WORLD CRUISE! Have you dreamed of taking a world cruise, but dismissed the idea as beyond your financial reach? Well, you might be pleasantly surprised, because the per diem cost is often more reasonable than for shorter cruises. Most world cruises start from Southampton, UK, New York or Los Angeles, and many include airfare from your home city to the departure port, and return to your home from the last port. More cruise lines are scheduling world cruises recently, because they are increasingly popular. Crystal’s 2015 world cruise is already sold out, and they are booking for 2016. Oceania has now added a world cruise. Regent does Grand Voyages for 62, 71 and 86 nights. The most famous world cruise ships are the Cunard Queens, and each one does a World Cruise. In 2015, Cunard will commemorate the 175th anniversary of the company’s founding, and the planned global voyages will celebrate this milestone

in style. This festive time will herald several Cunard Royal Rendezvous events during the World Voyage itineraries: Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth will depart Southampton together on 10 January 2015. On 12 March 2015 Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria will meet in Sydney, Australia, and on 3 May 2015 all three Queens will return from their World Voyages to Southampton. Cunard’s 2015 World Voyages and Exotic Cruises Programs feature voyages ranging from eight to 127 days aboard Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. Passengers will have the option to combine itineraries into and out of Sydney, Australia across two ocean liners, and to create customized World Voyage options with a land portion in between. Passengers will also have the opportunity to visit South Africa, the South Pacific, to circumnavigate Australia, and to discover the excitement of Japan and Southeast Asia. Altogether, the ships will visit 82 unique destinations in 46 countries, from major cities to less frequented locales. With four maiden calls and an enhanced

East-West loop that includes New Zealand, flagship Queen Mary 2 kicks off her exciting 113-night World Voyage from Southampton, on the way to 38 ports of call in 21 countries. For an idea of the cost, the Queen Mary 2 fares start at $21,998 for an inside stateroom, which is $195 per day. If you book as soon as the cruises are announced there are substantial discounts. If you wish to book for 2015 there are still some incentives, such as upgrades from ocean-view to balcony staterooms, and complimentary gratuities. Those are substantial benefits. So, if this has piqued your interest about a world cruise, my best advice is to book early. Cunard will soon announce their itineraries for the 2016 World Cruises. 0043

Local RESIDENT DONATES TO SCOUTS Dora Cornford, is a resident of Rothesay on the Shore Road in Old Renforth and is over 96 years old. She regularly makes hooked rugs, one or two a winter. During a visit with her one day last year I her what she did with them and she replied that she gave them to friends or whoever might appreciate them. She then disappeared into a room and came back with armloads of beautiful hooked rug artwork. I asked her if she ever had had a "show". When she replied that she had not I organized an informal one in the Narthex of our Church (St. James the Less), where she has been a long time member. Two of the pieces sold quickly and the funds were donated to our missions program; one was designated to go off to the museum and a fourth, pictured here, was donated to the Beavers of New Brunswick. It will hang in the Scouting Lodge at Yoho lake. A tea was held during December so that Dora could hand over the beautiful rug featuring a beaver and other Scouting symbols to two representatives of the Scouting movement in New Brunswick. Submitted by Rev Eric Phinney, Rector, St. James the Less Church. 2793

LISTeN IN by Jeff Liberty “MIDSUMMER MADNESS” Summertime is around the corner and music will be in the open air. Around the Maritimes there are so many great festivals of every genre and music is always best in a live setting. I wanted to let all you music loving readers of ours know about a festival right here on the Beautiful Kingston Peninsula. The Peninsula is an amazing place to be anytime so this music event should be part of your places to be this summer! The festival I speak of is “Midsummer Madness” happening June 20, 21 & 22 and it has a lot of artists you may have heard of and some really amazing new gems to discover. I had the privilege of asking, via e-mail, the festivals’ head honcho and curator Tim Turner about the festival and its marvelous location the “Shakedown Ranch”. “Midsummer Madness Summer Solstice is a celebration to welcome summer and to have fun” Tim says in telling me about how the festival came to be.
Jeff: What are the challenges and preparations that goes into a festival of this scale? Tim: “It takes roughly 10 months of booking prepping and planning to do an event of this magnitude but after years of experience, doing events we have mastered the art of making it flow so all patrons can enjoy the festival experience”. Jeff: What are some of the new artists you're excited of hosting this year? Tim: We are excited “That 1 Guy” and “Dj Dan” are on the bill. We have been trying to bring them to Shakedown Ranch for years now, as well Slowcoaster and new local acts like Apollo Astronauts and The Torino’s. It gives the festival goers a chance to checkout international artists as well as support and debut local talent”. Jeff: What would you tell someone who is on the fence about going to the festival. Why should they be there? Tim: “If you haven't had the privilege to absorb all that Shakedown Ranch has to offer or if you're "still on the fence". Ask anyone that has been to an event at
the ranch and they will tell you the same thing GO and absorb the positive vibes the ranch has to offer”. “It’s 3 days, 3 nights, 3 stages, and 30 acres with the most creative show seen in New Brunswick” With over 40 musical artists, DJs, a drum circle, a vendor’s village, yoga, belly dancing, camping and much more all on the beautiful Kingston Peninsula you don’t want to miss a beat! They also are equipped with public washrooms, power, and a canteen. More info at: shakedownranch.com We have a pair of tickets to give away to the festival! Just answer this question (What is the name of Slowcoaster’s current album?) and send it via e-mail to contest ossekeag.ca, subject: Shakedown Ranch. Good Luck! 0041

geT FReSH WITH FooD HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT: I was having a conversation with Greg Daggett, about the future and how we want to operate this business. That applies to both Kredl's and Dave's Produce Packs, I told him that my ultimate goal is to put myself out of business. I would have no trouble finding other ways to provide for myself. Before my incredible staff disown me for that last sentence, let me tell you where I am going with this. My goal is to hopefully inspire people to grow their own food. By educating our community about the importance of having your food source close to home, the reliance on other food sources should diminish. If everyone could just grow their own food or even some of it, I could relax and take a few days off ;). So how can you grow your own food? If you have even a small piece of ground that gets a respectable amount of sunlight, you first need to rip up the lawn. If you
don't have that, community gardens are everywhere, so go rent a plot. It is always a good idea to scoop some dirt from all corners and the centre of the plot and take it to the co-op for a soil test. If you can't be bothered, just buy compost or well-rotted manure and mix it into the topsoil. If there isn't much, buy some top soil too. Your best value is to use a truck and buy it by the tractor scoop. You also need to add lime, which sweetens the soil and raises your PH. The ideal PH for most vegetables is between 6.5 and 7. It is an exponential scale, so 5.8 won’t do. Adding 15 pounds of lime for every 100 square feet would be a good rule of thumb. Lime takes at least six months to activate, so don't be disappointed if your first year isn't phenomenal. If your soil is really sandy, it doesn't hurt to add peat moss, but peat moss is acidic, which lowers your PH, so if you add any, add more lime too. You cannot over-lime. I strongly encourage you to avoid chemical fertilizer, which is NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Compost is a great source of nitrogen.
by Dave Wolpin
I also recommend pelleted chicken manure, any other well-composted manure and worm castings. These can also be applied by top-dressing or making a manure tea and pouring it around your plants. Phosphorus can be fed to your plants in the form of rock phosphate, bone meal, fish meal and wood ash from your fireplace or stove. Potassium can be accessed from K-Mag (can be bought at co-op), wood ash, greensand (I can get) and seaweed meal, which you can make yourself. Once you have concocted this harmony of dirt, you need to add to it each year and/or test your soil and just add what it calls for. Now, I will add one addendum, a very important one; read my next column to find out… 0039

MuSINgS by Debbie Hickey I’D RATHER BE A CAT A few days ago I made the difficult decision to take one of our cats on that final trip to the vet. She was sixteen, a pretty good age for a cat, and had been failing for the last few weeks. I had hoped she could go quietly in her own home, but as she grew obviously more uncomfortable it became apparent that was not going to be. She was never fond of the crate, and even less fond of the car (unlike dogs, car trips for cats are rarely something to look forward to), so it was not the way I had hoped things would end for her. When the short trip in the car looked to be less traumatic for her than the continuing discomfort she was in, the choice became obvious. She was very well treated and slipped away peacefully. A much preferred end to how it was playing out.
The debate on assisted suicide has recently been back in the news, with many good points to be made by those who are concerned for the rights and well-being of those with mental and physical challenges. For myself, though, I would far rather have the option to go as easily as did my beloved pet if the alternative is to continue in pain, confined to a hospital bed and with no hope that this is going to improve and will lead to its inevitable end anyway. If my mind is gone and I no longer recognize my family, or even myself, do I really want to continue because my body is too darn stubborn to shut down? Yes, there must be safeguards for those who cannot speak for themselves. But is it fair to those who would choose this gentle alternative to be denied that

option? Those who are still well enough can perhaps find ways to end their lives, but having access to the medications that would make it as easy as it was for my cat is unlikely under current legislation. How sad. Thanks for sharing sixteen years with us, Miss Em. “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” ~ Robert A. Heinlein. 0002
