Because of previous Ravings about fracking and the horrible “Forestry Agreement” some of you may suspect that I am somehow against resource extraction or extensive use of our other natural resources. But that really isn’t true at all. What I am against is HOW we are managing our resource development as “we are getting only the low hanging fruit and leaving a whole lot unpicked”. Take fracking, as an example. The companies working on fracking are not local, the profits won’t stay local, the technology used is not local and probably only the more basic jobs will be available locally. So after many years of success in creating jobs and money, the wells will literally go dry. So the companies leave, and what have we created in the long run?? Are we leaders in fracking technology, do we have a highly skilled workforce that can move into other endeavours. If indeed, there is any environmental damage, major or minor, who gets to live with it. You’re right, us!! Take forestry for example, the bigger operators climb into their harvesters worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, most likely built in Sweden or Japan, while the small operators fire up their Swedish or Japanese chainsaws and while we make hundreds of dollars these foreign companies are making thousands, selling complex equipment worldwide. While we have skilled operators, they have engineers and other highly skilled jobs that are paying
much higher wages. New Brunswick has been exporting our resources for over 200 years. Our forests now contain roughly half of the wood volume that they once contained. So where is our prosperity from the resources we have extracted?? It costs you, the New Brunswick taxpayer, millions of dollars to give away our forests, while some experts have suggested we should be bringing in around $240 million from our forests!! So when do you think that we are going to get smart and insist on value from our resources. “Over half the world’s supply of American lobster, Homarus americanus, comes from the clear, cold waters of Atlantic Canada.” (see more at: http://atlanticcanadaexports.ca). In exchange, our fisherpeople get $4 or $5 per pound and a New York restaurant might get $30 per pound. We need to insist that raw products should not leave our province. Only finished products should be our goal. It is only when we are world class at adding value to the resources we have that we can even dream of being rich. Straight extraction and export of raw product will only help us be just a little less poor!!! 0001

POINT OF vIEW PHOTOGRAPHY FULL CIRCLE Even though it's considered obsolete, vintage even, by technology standards, I don't have the heart to throw it away. When I received it as a graduation gift from my parents, I had no idea it would be the start of my lifelong love of photography. It was a Pentax K1000 35mm film camera – shiny, new and all mine! When I started college a short time later, my trusty camera went with me. Over the next two years, I learned the importance of aperture, ISO and shutter speed. I'm pretty sure every tree, building, flower and student within a two mile radius of that campus was photographed at one time or another. There was no “auto” anything then – everything was done manually. From loading the film to focusing and proper exposure, there were no shortcuts. I loved the challenge of developing film, making prints and looking for the next unlikely

subject. Then, life happened. Pentax was right there with me for several more years, as I worked days, nights and weekends, shooting everything from basketball games and school concerts to grip and grin cheque presentations and hockey. It survived freezing temperatures, snow storms, pouring rain and being dropped (more than once). When digital technology took over, I upgraded to a Nikon Coolpix 990. Did I mention I still have that historic gem too? Somewhere along the way, though, photography stopped being fun for me. So, I tucked my cameras away for a long time. Then, in 2011, an award and substantial cash prize from my former employer changed all that. The instant I received this unexpected gift, I knew exactly what I wanted to spend it on – a new camera. My Canon would be a huge step up from that film camera and 3.2 megapixel digital with 4x digital zoom.. When I picked up my new “baby” for the first time, it was love at first sight.
And, well, she's been with me ever since. I don't leave home without her and she's helped me get back into and truly enjoy photography again. These days, though, I have traded in cold rinks and concerts for time spent with families, babies, graduates and newlyweds. My passion for photography has come full circle, and I'm grateful that I'm back to doing what I love the most – capturing milestones and special moments for people. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” Aaron Siskind. 0032

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton WHAT’S IN YOUR CHILI Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with an answer to your question. This week we had a great debate about the origins of chili and what is a true chili. Does chili contain beans and what kind? Some say that ever since the first person added chili peppers to a stew, chili was born. So is that what makes chili? Some say yes, others say no. History of chili takes us back to the early 19th century on the border between Texas and Mexico. Chuck wagon cooks on cattle drives would make a concoction of meat and vegetables to serve. Problem at that time was no refrigeration. Meat was transported in the heat, bacteria would grow and the meat would become rancid. They would hide the taste with spices. Cooking the stew for a long time with the high acidity of tomatoes would kill the bacteria to a safe enough level. Before refrigeration this was a common practice in many parts of the world. Chili recipes really depend on location;
recipes can be found mainly in Central America and as high as up Kansas. The recipe you have will determine the ingredients and this is where the beans or no beans debate happens. Whether chili comes with garbanzo beans, kidney beans, navy beans or no beans is a regional preference. Here one chili recipe example. The chili peppers are in the chili powder, but it shows how easy it is to change up ingredients to achieve your favourite chili. 1 lb meat (course ground chuck or chopped stew meat are preferable to hamburger. Leftover pot roast also works well. Wild meats such as venison, boar, or even rattlesnake make an interesting and tasty alternative). ½ c finely chopped onion (I prefer yellow onions). ¼ c finely chopped jalapenos. 1 clove minced garlic. 1 Tbsp good quality chili powder (more/ less depending on your taste). 1 tsp cumin. ½ tsp salt.
½ tsp dried cilantro. ½ tsp rosemary. 1 15 oz can tomato sauce (I prefer to use just a little less than a full can). ½ c beef broth. ½ c port wine (alcoholic beverages help cut the bite of hot peppers, and add nice flavoring. Red wine, beer, tequila, and bourbon add distinctive touches. I prefer port for its rich sweetness). Chili is one of those great culinary delights which comes with so many opinions that everyone who makes it, believes they make the best. This conversation has made me think a lot about chili. So much that this month we will be launching a new winter menu at Holly’s and chili will be one of the new items. Great thing about chili? You can add it to whatever you want! 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

sk anyone when men go Christmas shopping, and they’ll tell you that they shop on Christmas Eve, or maybe the day before that. No doubt for some men, this may be true. Maybe it’s the thrill of the last-minute chase. Others start so early you wanna scratch your head and wonder what they’re doing. We all know that one person who starts squirreling away Christmas presents while February’s snow is falling and New Year’s resolutions are being forgotten and discarded like the mountains of gift wrap piled under the Christmas tree. Between these two extremes lies your average shopper, the person who realizes in August or early September when Christmas is a few months away. There are a few tricks that can help you to shop more efficiently. Even Santa makes a list, and he has a cluster of elves to help out.

bargain hunters, and why not? With the cost of living it can be hard to stay on budget if we’re not smart shoppers, hunt down the good deals, wait for a sale, shop around and visit multiple stores. It may take more time, but you’re more likely to save money. You will have to decide which one you would rather have more of, your time, or your money. You may not be able to start early if you’re just starting now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do a bang-up job of it anyways. Some of the best Christmas gifts are the unexpected and the surprising, the ones that come with instant and unexpected facestretching, warm glow, one side to the other smiles. A lot of the time gifts like this are found in the small shops. However you shop, whether it’s a marathon, a sprint, or an obstacle course we wish you all the best this Holiday season; big smiles, warm hearts, and many gatherings with close friends and family.

Christmas shopping season is in full swing. Some would rather sit at home and shop online rather than deal with the crowds in the shops. Like most financial transactions, there are some major Do’s and Don’ts when shopping and buying online. · Research who you are buying from and only buy from reputable sellers. If you are planning to purchase from a large online retailer you should not experience any problems. You will, however, want to make sure you understand their policies. Read them carefully. · Make sure the website is secure. You can tell if the web page is secure by looking at the web address bar.

BUSY BLUE BEARS A big congratulations is in order for the Varsity Girls soccer team on winning 2nd overall in the district! They fought very hard in their final game and they had an amazing season, hardly losing any of their games! All three of Harry Miller's badminton teams played extremely well in their tournaments. Congratulations to everyone who placed. On November 4, Harry Miller had the pleasure to have Retro Bill, a very popular
motivational speaker, visit our school. Retro Bill talked a lot about bullying and his experiences. I think that he is a good influence and role model for young children, adults and everyone in between. On November 10 at 11:00am, HMMS had their annual Remembrance Day Assembly. We had many special visitors come to our school to attend this wonderful assembly and to respect those who fought to keep our country safe. The scholastic book fair took place
during the school week and during the recent Parent-Teacher meetings. Also, there were many contests to win Book Fair money like How Many Pages in This Stack of Books? Who’s Your Favorite Author? And What’s your Favorite Book? Students were also encouraged to wear their PJ’s and bring their favorite book to school. Harry Miller is having a very eventful month and we know that the fun is just getting started! Emma Stephen. 0034

LISTEN IN by Jeff liberty FROM MEMPHIS TO VEGAS AND NOW SAINT JOHN Most of us have traditions we do every year around the Christmas Holidays. One of my most vivid memories I have of my youth was playing Elvis Presley’s “Elvis Christmas album”. Yes that was the title, pretty catchy eh? Evan all these years later that feeling of putting on that record and singing along with the “King” has left an indelible mark on me. I still play that record every time the festive season blows into town. Now I’m introducing my kids to this special family tradition. A couple days ago I had a chat with the globally renowned Elvis impersonator Thane Dunn who in my estimation is probably the closest thing to seeing and hearing anything as real as Elvis himself. Thane leaves no detail unturned and brings you on a musical ride you will never forget. “Hey Jeff! We will be in Saint John
doing our first ever Elvis Christmas and Gospel show Dec 4” Thane tells me when asking when the holiday tour kicks off. In discussing my early memories of Elvis’ music around the holiday’s and how he was able to perform Rock N’ Roll material as well as gospel. Thane expanded on the subject. “Elvis has become such an intrical part of Christmas. A man that could sing “Blue Suede Shoes” which was considered raunchy at the time and then break into a song like, “'How Great Thou Art” and pull that off and carry that. So many other entertainers wish they could pull that off, but probably couldn’t”. Altogether on stage along with the choir (Wow!), Thane’s band will number an astounding 25 musicians and singers! “There is going to be a lot of soul on the stage” Thane says with a laugh. “It’s going to make the show over the top. With the crowd singing along to (ie: Silent Night) it’s going to feel like one big Christmas Carolling.” “With this show, we’re hitting three
different bases, Elvis’ Christmas songs, his Gospel works and I’ve also added some of his worldwide hits. So fans will still hear those songs intermingled throughout the show.” It’s going to be a stellar evening and a great way to kick off your holiday season, if you haven’t already. The show entitled” Thane’s Ultimate Elvis Christmas show” features his eight piece band, The Cadillac Kings, along with the UFC Gospel choir. It all happens on Thursday, Dec 4 at the beautiful Imperial Theatre! Thane has a lot of cool things on the horizon including a Christmas radio show. For ticket info and more go to: ThaneDunn.ca. What are you waiting for? Get your tickets now! I’ll see you there baby! 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists

O
ne year in heaven, One year you’ve been there, So far away, Someday I’ll see you in the air, One year in heaven, I miss you so much, Smile down upon me, And show me your love. One year in heaven, It seems like so long, Since the last time I saw you, And then you were gone, One year in heaven, You left earth too soon, But I know they need you, More then I do, One year in heaven, I’m alone on the earth, I miss your sweet kisses, And all that you’re worth, One year in heaven, Is God really there? Why did he take you, As I cried in despair. One year in heaven, I still see your face, The day that you took, The last breath you would take,
One year in heaven, Why did you die, I know God needed you, But still I cry. One year in heaven, Soon I’ll be there, So wait by the gate, Please, this do swear, One year in heaven, To me it is long, But you have no pain, From this earth you have gone. One year in heaven, It’s so hard to move on, I’ll send you a prayer And sing you a song, One year in heaven, Life’s not the same, Since you left this world, I’m living in a daze. One year in heaven, You watch from above, Sit there and smile, And send me your love, One year in heaven, You may think it’s just a day, But this world is so different, Since God took you away.

mUSINGS by Debbie hickey WHAT’S IN A NAME A few days ago I had a conversation with my 8 year old granddaughter on nicknames. This was sparked because her mother has several friends with names that do not seem to derive from their given names. Some nicknames are fairly obvious, whether from a physical trait (Red) or a personality trait (Sunny), but many are mysteries known only to a few. Mine for instance. For a number of years in my teens and 20’s I was “Jo”. Absolutely nothing to do with my given name, not even a middle name, but there is of course a story as to how I became Jo. I was never particularly interested in learning to cook or bake as a kid. Much rather be outdoors or curled up with a book than working in the kitchen.
(Actually in our old farmhouse it would be in the pantry that the work took place, but we won’t quibble on the details.) Anyway, at some point in my mid/late teens my mother was not home and I decided to make apple turnovers, without having any clue that pastry was often a challenge for accomplished cooks let alone a total novice. The pastry looked fine, but was a mite (okay more than a mite) tough. My brother and boyfriend promptly christened it Debbie-Dough and had plans to use it to retread tires. So I became DebbieDough (Debbie-Do), later Debbie-Jo and eventually just Jo. I did eventually tackle pastry again, but not for many years (I was always more interested in the eating than the preparing). When my mother (who is a GREAT cook) asked me for my pastry recipe I knew I was finally there! And
a few years ago when my mother-inlaw (bless her heart) chastised her son (the infamous Mikie) for criticizing my Rhubarb-Custard Pie (a Hickey family recipe), even Michael admitted I made a pretty decent pie. The secret is that I finally found a recipe that worked for me every time, one that uses lard rather than shortening. I will post it to our website for anyone who wants to give it a try. “Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.” ~ Jim Davis. 0002
