The provincial election is now history, and of course everyone has their own personal observations as to what was significant, so not to be left out, here are some of my thoughts. In what was built up to be an extremely important election about the future of the province, voter turnout declined from over 69% in 2010 down to about 65% for this election. Why are we losing the battle of engaging voters? It is my personal belief that more and more voters are not real happy with our two “old” parties. I believe this is borne out by the higher number of voters selecting one of the non-traditional parties in this election. But I do wonder if there are also many more potential voters that are inclined to vote for one of the non-traditional parties but think “No, I’m just wasting my vote, nothing will change”. If we had a form of proportional representation that truly reflects how the citizens of New Brunswick really voted, here is what we might have. A Liberal minority government, with 5 or 6 NDP, 3 Green and 1 People’s Alliance member sitting in opposition along with about 16 Conservatives. Just imagine a New Brunswick government that could not make backroom deals

of any nature because they would have to rely on the support of one or more “other” parties. No longer could a single individual (premier) have the power to force through any legislation or deal that they find convenient. For many years now, NB premiers have exercised total control over the party’s elected MLAs, but with minority governments becoming routine their powers would be severely limited, as they properly should!! Unless we give a political party a true majority on election day, I feel certain that we would be far more likely to get the kind of government we are looking for, more consultative, more open and transparent, and more open to new ideas. Unfortunately, it is not in the best interest of the traditional parties to really do anything about the status quo. So it will be up to all of us who want serious reform of our electoral process by allowing virtually every single vote to actually count, to do something about it. 0001 Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

IN THE GARDEN by Betty Kennett HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL... The major hope in the minds of most gardeners is that of abundant rainfall, and that’s probably true also for most people who depend on well water for their daily needs; the dry weather has virtually put a stop to conventional gardening since the ground is rock hard, digging has become a chore solely for the stout hearted and determined. Bearing in mind the fond hope printed above there are a few things that we can do while we wait for the longed for precipitation. First on my ‘to do’ list is to spend some joyful time in the garden centres that provide a good sampling of spring bulbs and there’s no time like the present to select these beauties even though the actual planting will need to be delayed until the heavens open with the gift of rain. There are plenty of pre-packaged selections available however the greatest fun is to be had in the establishments that

sell loose bulbs; these usually are displayed in boxes that show a photograph of the bulb along with information regarding height and the best location with respect to sun or shade. The early bird certainly catches the worm in this situation since many of these loose bulbs are whoppers, often with three or four segments, each of which will produce a bloom and the wise shopper can fish around in the box to find the best deal. We are all aware by now that the huge deer population have Tulips on the top of the list for gourmet dining and unless you have a fenced in yard you may just as well bypass these beauties... however there is a great selection in the daffodil family that are usually totally deer proof, the colours range from white, through all shades of yellow and orange (and even pink if you have the stomach for it), they come in heights ranging from miniature to eighteen inches and when planted in clumps of the same type/colour, create a sensational feature. There are of course many other bulbs that are fun to grow,

PARTS

sadly most are readily eaten by the pesky white tails and need protection; all bulbs need to be planted in a hole that is three times as deep as the size of the bulb, preferably with a sprinkle of bone meal in well turned over soil that has been amended with compost and well rotted manure. As the leaves begin to fall and before the accumulation is knee deep, it’s a good practice to lift the blade on the mower to at least three inches and sweep around the lawns, the resulting chopped up leaves that get mixed up with the grass clippings are great fertilizer for the lawn and, joy of joys, the process allows you to pass up on that tiresome job of raking! Keep up with the rain dances and prayers! Betty Kennett, Blessings. 0038 Resident Green Thumb

WINTER! By: Michael Vautour

old car that you used to work on. You can’t see the battery or find the distributor.” you say to yourself. With the phone still to your ear you hear a cheerful voice, “Hello this is Jane/John Doe. How can I help you today?” You explain to them that your car won’t start and after answering all their questions they tell you that they’ve had numerous calls this morning and your car will be picked up as soon as they can get to you.

he day begins with the alarm sounding off.... *Eeeeee eeeeeeeee eeee*

You wake up, get dressed, and go about your normal “getting ready for work routine”. When you get into your car and start it, you hear a noise you have never heard before..... and then........ *cue dramatic music ... Dun dun duuuuuun* It won’t start. Panic begins to set in. “What’s wrong with my car?” you say to yourself. Hauling out your phone you madly dial the number of your local mechanic. Because it’s very early in the morning, you get his answering machine and you leave a frantic message. Then you think to call your road service provider (tow truck

company) who tells you “that due to high volume your call will be handled by the next available agent.....” You sigh, slump in your seat then say to yourself, “maybe I can figure this out myself!” You pull the hood lever, get out, lift up the hood, and begin to look around. “This looks nothing like grandfather’s

Does this sound familiar? For lots of people we just don’t get regular maintenance done to our vehicles.

However, I do recommend that you have a professional check your car over: Check your fluid levels Coolant - should be clear and not cloudy; either orange, red, or green; but clear. Different colours designate different types of engine coolant. If the coolant is cloudy, it could be an indication that there may be a problem which needs to be attended to. Make sure you check your coolant’s freezing point as well. It should be -40 degrees Celsius. You can test this with a tester that can be obtained from any automotive store. Windshield wiper fluid - make sure it’s rated for at least -40 degrees Celsius. We get cold here in NB and there are different types of windshield fluids. If you aren’t sure which one to get, consult a professional. Load test your battery. To test for this you would need a load testing meter. Now, batteries are not located under the hood of all vehicles. If that is your case, consult your owners manual or your local professional.

Being Prepared Can Make the Difference Between Inconvenience and Disaster • Windshield Scraper and Snow Brush • Spare Windsheild Washer Fluid • Food and Water • Outdoor Clothing and Footwear • First-Aid Kit • Flashlight

• Crank Radio • Traction Aid • Shovel • Tow Strap • Jumper Cables • Flares, Reflectors or Warning Lamps

Carrying a cell-phone and a roadside-assistance number with you will be the surest route to assistance once you have exhausted your own efforts A lot of newer model cars have tire pressure monitoring systems that tell you there is a problem, but you still need to go to each individual tire and check its pressure. You will need to get the manufacturer’s rating, which is normally located on the inside driver’s door, but again, I recommend consulting a professional, as some tires are rated differently than the manufacturer of the vehicle originally recommended.

Lock de-icer can get you out of most sticky situations; this means that phone call to your local car assist company can wait for another day.

3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISER Financial advisers play a significant role in helping you manage your financial future so it is important to make an informed choice of who you will work with. Despite the importance of the decision, only 1-in-3 New Brunswick investors have checked the background of their financial adviser. Protect yourself by asking your adviser these 3 questions before you invest: 1) Are you registered with FCNB? In order to be in the business of giving you investment advice or buying and selling investments on your behalf, advisers and the firms they work for must be registered with FCNB. Registration helps protect investors by

Thank You Words cannot express how thankful we are to everyone for making Murray Spragg’s 100th Birthday party such a great success. Thank you to all who attended and special thanks to all who made the trip from out of town. Thank you to “great nephew” Glen Gray and Band members for the great music and to Austin McGinnis for sharing with us. Thanks to Mama George’s and girls for their work and to the Kiersteadville Church for the cake. Thank you to all who helped set up and decorate and thanks for all gifts, cards and phone calls. The attendance was overwhelming and it was great to see everyone. It was a proud day for us all and one we will remember always.

confirming that firms and individuals meet established standards. Visit FCNB.ca to make sure your adviser is registered with us. 2) How are you paid for your services? Not all advisers are paid for their services in the same way. Advisers may receive a commission for every product they sell, charge a flat fee based on an hourly rate or the amount of assets you have invested with them, or be paid a salary. Ask your adviser how they are paid, how much their services will cost, how these fees will affect your returns, and what types of services you will receive. 3) Who are your typical clients?

Kyle McVea & his group Rebel Coast would like to thank Tim Dewar & his staff of KV Dairy Queen for their warm welcome and to everyone who came out to say ‘hi’! Always great to see the local support; can’t wait to come back and do a show in the Valley soon :)

You may be more comfortable and successful working with an adviser who has experience working with clients who are a lot like you in terms of financial background, goals, and investment experience. Ask your adviser to describe their typical client and ask how he or she helped them reach their goals. These are just a few of the questions to ask a potential adviser, but it doesn’t stop there. Visit FCNB.ca to download our Check Before You Invest Workbook and follow the five simple steps to help you to check the background of your adviser before you invest. 3145

Card of Thanks The family of the late Donald H. Macdonald (Sandy) wishes to thank everyone who sent heartfelt messages of condolence at the time of Dad’s passing. Your kind words and thoughtfulness were much appreciated. We also want to thank the staff of the Palliative Unit at the Saint John Regional Hospital, as well as the Extra Mural Care team for their help during a difficult time. Dad always had a ready laugh and many enjoyed his quick wit and impromptu poetry recitations. He will be missed.

BIG ROTHESAY READ BOOK ANNOUNCED In a jam-packed auditorium at Rothesay High School on October 1, The Big Rothesay Read announced its book selection for this year: Indian Horse, by Richard Wagamese. Indian Horse is the Canada Reads 2013 Contender (and "People's Choice" Pick), it was on the Globe and Mail's top 100 books of 2012 list, the 2013/2014 First Nation Communities Read Selection (Winner), and the winner of the 2013 CODE's Burt Award for First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Literature. Mr. Wagamese is also the 2013 Recipient of a Molson Prize in the Arts and the recipient of a 2012 National Aboriginal Achievement Award. Indian Horse follows Saul Indian Horse, an Ojibway man from Northern Ontario, from his early youth in the northern bush, to the horrors of the Canadian residential school system, to the joys and trials of being a Native

hockey player in the 1960's. Saul's immense hockey skill takes him into the heart of Canadian racism, a journey that takes a huge toll on both his life and his love of the game. Indian Horse is a novel about survival, about the power of the land, and about the darkness of racism found throughout Canadian history. In the end, like most great literature, Indian Horse is about stories - about their power, about how they shape us and allow us to connect with others. (From a review by Aaron Kreutner). Author, richard Wagamese, will visit Rothesay for two public talks on Wednesday, October 29 at 11:00am and 7:00pm at RHS. For further information please contact Stephanie Tomilson, RHS Principal, 847-6322; or committee volunteer, Penny Milligan, at 848-5464. 3155

During the meeting we will jointly select a local charity or not-for-profit organization (nominated ahead of time). Members will each write a $50 cheque to the selected organization, turning the group’s commitment into a $2,500+ donation. Do that four times a year and witness how $10,000+ can improve the lives of local charities. We hope you can join us!

FAMILY MATTERS by anita hofmann FAMILY TIME IN BUSY TIMES Four tips for families on the go: First the good news. We live in a community rich in resources that benefit our children and promote health and wellness. The bad news is that we can become overwhelmed with taking our children from activity to activity. If you have more than one child you might find that you are never at home. For many busy parents, finding quality time to be with their kids can be a big challenge. Here are 4 things you can do to ensure you get your week’s worth of family time: 1. Set a ‘No Drive Zone’. This would be the equivalent to scheduling a day or night aside for just the family, where no driving or rushing around is allowed. Each week a different family member can choose the activity, making the no drive zone something children will remember. Telling others about your

family’s no drive zone can also avoid outside distractions. 2. Visible Family Calendar. Make sure everyone in the family can see the family activity calendar and that family time is consistently set each week. Having a visual calendar keeps everyone accountable to that day and reduces the chances of scheduling surprises. Assigning a different family ‘event coordinator’ each week can prevent family time from becoming boring and members will look forward to family time each week. 3. Organize Family Time Around What You Already Do. Often the easiest way to organize family time for real busy families is by incorporating it into an activity the family is already doing. Mealtimes are a great way to get your family time in and make every moment count. There is usually something to stir, spread, set, shake and clean up. Share the work and enlist the help of the whole family – even the littlest ones. 4. Have a Plan B. B is for backup.

Even the best laid plans can fall victim to some unexpected event. In cases such as these have a back-up plan for family time. Perhaps it could be Sunday breakfast party, bedtime reading night, week debriefing over hot chocolate, or a fun family game of question and answer. With the beginning of a new school year comes the beginning of a new family schedule. Managing the multiple demands of family life can be a challenge and family time can get lost in the shuffle. The good news is that despite a hectic family schedule, family time can be a memorable date that has a permanent slot on the weekly calendar. 0006

FRESH WITH FOOD UNCOVERING CRANBERRIES Reflecting upon the Thanksgiving season and more so the harvest season, cranberries are a neglected resource of health and pleasure. We often associate cranberries as a uniquely holiday consumption. Unfortunately, for many consumers, that involves opening a can of jellied cranberry sauce. In fact, only 5% of cranberries are purchased fresh and whole. You might also think you are making a healthier decision by getting the whole berry cranberry sauce. In reality, both these concoctions contain more high-fructose corn syrup than the precious fruit. Worse is that the pro-oxidant qualities of high fructose corn syrup cancels out many of the antioxidant benefits of cranberries. This is truly unfortunate considering cranberries are a fascinating, locally grown fruit that offers one of our food system’s best medicinal packages. The high levels of fibre and vitamin C are some of the best known benefits of cranberries. However, what earns them the most research attention is their unusually high levels and synergistic package of phytonutrients, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties when the using the whole fruit. Now that we know just how healthy cranberries are, how do you consume them? In order to get the one cup of fresh cranberries that you should consume regularly, you would have to drink 16 cups of cranberry juice and 26 cans of cranberry sauce. Most

of our palates do not welcome the sour strength of cranberries without accompaniment. However, try adding a handful to your smoothies or blending them into your salad dressings. Even better, for an easy-to-make salad that will immediately become a holiday favourite, place two cups fresh berries in your blender along with 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks, a quartered skinned orange, a sweet apple (such as one of the Delicious variety) and a handful or two of walnuts or pecans. Blend till well mixed but still chunky. Transfer to a large bowl. For your holiday cranberry sauce, try this recipe that makes an amazing sauce without sugar. Bring 1 cup orange juice, 1 tsp minced fresh ginger, 1 tsp minced orange zest and 1/4 tsp cinnamon to a boil on high heat in a medium saucepan. Rinse 12 oz cranberries and add once liquid is boiling. Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup crushed pineapple and 1/2 cup honey. Remove from heat and cool. And of course, cranberry orange muffins are always a sure hit any time of the year. Cranberries are something we should be eating year-round. Like the customary box of blueberries and bags of strawberries, we should have a tub of cranberries in our freezer ready for quick handfuls into our meals. 0039 Dave Wolpin Kredl’s Corner Market

ASK THE CHEF by Colin sifton HOW DO YOU DRESS YOUR SALAD? Colin Sifton here again with an answer to your question. Today people are trying to be more healthy with what they put in their bodies but at the same time buy items that are easily made with more natural products. One of these things is salad dressing. It is one thing to eat a salad, it is another to drown it in store bought salad dressing filled with preservatives. Here at Hollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we try and make our own dressings, where applicable, to give a more unique flavour to a dish. One in particular is the salmon and salad. Salad dressing was once broken into two different categories - oil dressings and creamy dressings. One misconception is that one is oil based and the other cream. In fact both are oil based dressings, as they both contain mainly oil. The difference is the creamy dressing is emulsified with egg yolk and mustard.

Oil based dressings are mainly oil and vinegar. With these two main ingredients we then add our flavour; which can come from a few different places. Sometimes it comes from the flavour of vinegar we use. You can use white vinegar to make a sharp dressing, but it often needs to be cut with some sugar or honey because it is so strong. Using red wine vinegar is a more mild flavour and adds colour to your dressing. A popular vinegar these days is balsamic, which is sweeter but more robust. The other flavours comes from onion, garlic, herbs and spices we add to make the dressing unique and to bring out flavours in the dish we are trying to create. Creamy dressings starts with an egg yolk and a small amount of mustard. Dijon is definitely the best to use here. Add your vinegar of choice and start adding your oil slowly. This emulsifies it together and creates a creamy appearance. Squeeze in some lemon juice and a little salt and white pepper and you have created mayonnaise. This is the base for all

creamy dressings. To change it into caesar dressing we would add anchovies and garlic which gives it that famous flavour. With this mayonnaise base we can create hundreds of our own salad dressings. These days, with everyone trying to be more healthy, we have started creating dressing from yogurt base and adding our own flavours. For example, I make a great spinach salad dressing by adding orange concentrate to plain yogurt with honey, paprika garlic and poppy seeds. This is just one of many ways we can use our imagination and the foods we like to make something different and unique, healthy and low fat, to our diets. 0040

LISTEN IN by jeﬀ Liberty BRENT MASON There is no doubt that singer/songwriter Brent Mason is a local legend. Brent just recently released his finest album yet, “All The Pretty Horses”. The album highlights the brightest talents in the greater Saint John region including the production duties courtesy of Grant Heckman and Tim Davidson. The album is a homerun from the moment you drop the needle (so to speak – It’s a CD). My favorite song on the album is “When Jesus Met Whiskey”. Here is my e-interview I did with Brent. Listen in to us here and spin the album for yourself. It a worthwhile album for any music lovers collection. JL - After all these years of performing live and being a recording artist, what keeps it all fresh for you? BM - Remember I got started late! Didn't pick up a guitar til I was nearly done university, didn't start performing live until much later. SO I find I'm still learning so much that it's always

interesting. Also, there's the fun of trying out new songs, connecting with a crowdwhich always elevates me, and I feel so good about playing with my band now in all humility we're pretty tight- that it's a real charge for the batteries to hit the stage. JL - Tell us a bit about how the process and the experience of how the new album went down? BM - This record- which seems to be getting more support and positive response than anything I've donewouldn't have happened without my friend Grant Heckman's enthusiasm and incredible support. I had a bunch of songs and just wasn’t sure if they were ready. Grant has a small basement studio, and after I banged 'em out there on the acoustic he was insistent that they were good, and more importantly, that he'd like to help produce. He put in a ton of hours, bringing a unique combination of musicianship and production knowledge to the record. Playing a lot of the tunes live for a while before recording helped.

JL - What are your aspirations for this new album? BM - Aspirations? Really, I just want the record to get heard. I think if it is people will support it. I've had a really good two or three years and this should continue that trajectory! JL - Name your Top 5 all time favorite songs or artists? How can people find out where to buy your album(s) and where you’re performing next? BM - People can get the record at Backstreet Records uptown (the greatest!) or from my website: brentmason.ca download or order it and I'll mail it! Five favorite musical influences? Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, George Jones, Hank Williams and Lightin' Hopkins. JL - Thanks Brent! 0041

POINT OF VIEW AUCTION FEVER What I witness each and every year, as we prepare for the province's longest running fund raising auction, can only be described as a well oiled machine. Despite all the hard work that goes into planning and executing the Belleisle Home & School Harvest Auction, everyone works well together and things run pretty smoothly. If you haven't already done so, mark Saturday, October 18 on your calendar. This is the day we celebrate 44 years of coming together for the benefit of our students. And, based on past experience, come together we will. Planning for the auction kicks into high gear the moment classes resume in September, and doesn't stop until the doors open on auction day. I'm sure whoever started the auction all those years ago had no idea that it would stand the test of time. Instead of losing momentum, it's grown and evolved into an important fundraiser that has allowed the Belleisle Home & School Association

to purchase many educational tools for students at both Belleisle schools. Last year's auction broke its all time fundraising record, raising $24,500. With your support, I have no doubt we can meet or beat that total this year. The auction is held at Belleisle Regional High School, which is located at 1800 Route 124 in Springfield. The doors open at 8:30am and auction bidding will get underway at 10:00am. Kevin Bond will serve as auctioneer. Words can't express how much we appreciate what Kevin does for us. His dad, Russell, was auctioneer for the first several years – a tradition that's continued with Kevin. It's not uncommon for him to put in 12 hour days on our auction stage and I'm sure people go just to hear him say “so what have you got here?” In addition to the live auction bidding, people can also bid on a wide variety of silent auction items generously donated by businesses. The Belleisle Boutique is another popular draw for visitors. There, you'll find everything from clothing and

by diane mcmillan toys to books and footwear. There are also 50/50 draws held throughout the auction, a raffle ticket table, bake sale, canteen facilities and pizza, brown bread, beans, chili and homemade desserts for sale in the cafeteria. Donations of furniture (with the exception of sofas), household items in good working order, clothing and linens will be accepted at the high school from October 13-16. I'm one of several auction committee members who are canvassing businesses for donations again this year. If you would like to promote your business by donating an item for bidding, please feel free to contact me. My email is diane@ossekeag. ca. 0032

PRINCESS MARY CHRISTMAS BOX When the first world war broke out in August 1914, people thought it would be a quick affair and everyone would be home for Christmas. In October the reality set in that the fighting men and brave nurses would be away from their homes for Christmas. Princess Mary felt bad for all those serving on the front and started a fundraising campaign to give a gift to everyone serving on the front. Her fundraising campaign raised 170,000 pounds and a total of 2.5 million boxes were distributed to allied forces. The majority of the boxes contained tobacco, cigarette papers, and a tinder lighter. Non-smokers could opt to receive box that contained a writing pad, a bullet shaped pencil, and some acid tablets. The nursing sisters received a box filled with chocolates. Many soldiers kept personal items in the boxes and kept them throughout the war

ANNUAL BELLEISLE HARVEST AUCTION The 44th Annual Belleisle Home & School Harvest Auction will be held on Saturday, October 18 at Belleisle Regional High School, with auctioneer Kevin Bond. Doors open at 8:30am and the auction will begin at 10:00am. Auction items are payable by cash or cheque only. In addition to a wide variety of new and used goods at the auction table (everything from antiques to fresh produce), there is also the popular Belleisle Boutique. While the auction is taking place in the theatre, you're welcome to visit the school gymnasium to browse the boutique. There, you'll find everything from clothing and toys to books and bedding. The auction also features a silent auction, home baking, 50/50 draws, crafts, raffle draw and canteen services. For supper, pizza, home baked beans, chili, brown bread, etc., will be available for purchase in the cafeteria. During the week of the auction, donations of new and used good quality clothing, furniture and household items will be accepted at the high school. Please note that sofas, appliances and televisions cannot be accepted. Thanks to the generosity of area businesses, volunteers and supporters, this is the longest running auction fundraiser of its kind in New Brunswick. Over the past 43 years, all proceeds from the auction have funded many educational items, activities and projects for students at Belleisle Elementary and Belleisle Regional High School. See you at the auction! 3150

6 REASONS TO SWAP YOUR ALL SEASONS TO WINTER TIRES – ESPECIALLY IN NEW BRUNSWICK: When I was growing up chains on tires were still a thing – everyone out to protect their loved ones from slippery roads the best they can. My dad, knowing that soon I would be married and oﬀ building a life of my own, took me for a drive on a snowy Sunday, after my studded winters’ had been installed, and shared his infinite tire wisdom. Here are a few things that I remember from that day. 1) Although it’s the treads that you notice, the most important part of a winter tire is actually its rubber compound, which is designed to stay soft in freezing temperatures. Like a gecko climbing a sheet of glass, a tire sticks to the road by conforming to minute imperfections. The soft rubber treads of a winter tire are able to splay and wrap themselves around minute protrusions on cold pavement, or even on what may appear to be perfectly smooth ice. All-seasons, which must be designed for year-round use, cannot match winter tires in low temperatures. 2) It’s about temperature, not snow. Winter tires should be installed when you expect temperatures to fall to 7 C or below. As the temperature falls, the rubber in summer and

all-season tires becomes inflexible, killing traction. Watch the thermometer and use common sense, because no one will tell you exactly when to put on snow tires 3) All-season tires are a bad compromise. On snow, ice or cold pavement, the stopping distance of a car with winter tires can be up to 30 to 40 per cent shorter than one with allseasons. Since the force of a crash increases as the square of impact speed, this could be the diﬀerence between life and death. 4) Winter tires should be narrower than summer models. Experts recommend that you go down one or two sizes when installing winter tires – if your car came with 215-millimetre wide summer tires, for example, your winter tires should be 205 mm or 195 mm. Reducing the width of a tire increases the pressure it exerts on the surface beneath it – this helps the tire slice through snow and reduces hydroplaning. 5) All-wheel drive helps you accelerate, not stop. On slippery surfaces, vehicles with four driving wheels can accelerate better than those with two-wheel drive. But their cornering and braking capabilities are little

6) Winter tires are designed to move water. When a tire presses down on snow or ice, it melts the top layer, creating a thin film of water (the same phenomenon that occurs as a skate glides across a rink). If the water isn’t moved away from the area in front of the tire, the car will hydroplane. This is why winter tires are covered with grooves (including tiny channels known as “sipes”) that move water away to the sides, allowing the tire to stay in contact with the surface. Although, as a young girl, I may have not listened to everything my father told me, his tire tricks I am certain, have saved my life a time or two, so dad if you are reading this – see I listen! And thank you for everything you taught me that I can and cannot remember. Jaymee Splude, Loch Lomond Mitsubishi

MUSINGS by debbie hickey TWO THINGS This was one of those weeks where I have been vacillating between two topics for this article, so rather than pick just one I have chosen to see the connections between the two and discuss both. Firstly, I recently decided to buy myself a

The Valley Viewer

gift I have been thinking about for several months. . . an e-reader. Anyone who knows me will testify that I am an avid reader. As a child if I was stuck I would read the backs of the cereal boxes while I ate breakfast. Like a smoker who is without cigarettes, as I was nearing the end of one book I would start to wonder where the next one was coming from. As an adult, able to control my own

book supply, this has been less of an issue, tho’ as the reserve of unread books would start to dwindle I would be planning my next trip to pick up more. Somehow I rarely make it to the library so it has been mostly purchasing second-hand books that has kept my addiction supplied. When I paused to consider what this was costing me I realized I have been spending $40-$50 per month on my book habit. Since it is unlikely I will stop reading, the obvious solution was to find a less expensive source. Enter the e-reader. After researching the best brand (make sure it has its own light for reading in bed!) that is also compatible with the NB Public Library (e-books are free to borrow, just like “real” ones) I took the plunge. It took me most of an evening to figure out what I needed to get those free library books, but I got there. I have finished reading one, have a hold on another (in other words I am waiting for it to be returned so I can borrow it next) and have downloaded a second. BUT. . . Michael and I read many of the same books, so I am not sure how it is going to work with only one e-reader. Either we will need to get another, or I will continue to make occasionally forays for second-hand books. Which brings me to the second thing on my mind. . . recycling. The vote for those of us served by Fundy Region Solid Waste as to whether curbside collection of recyclables will become a reality is coming up later this month. Mike and I are devoted recyclers. All those books are dutifully returned to be resold over and over, and if one should fall apart it would go into the paper recycling, never the garbage. The big concern regarding curbside recycling is cost. Let me ask, are you aware of the cost involved? A mere $18. Not per week, not per month, per YEAR. Come on people, that’s one coffee per MONTH to pay for curbside recycling. It’s time we take the environment seriously. Let’s do what’s right for our corner of the world. . . it will be fifteen years before we have an opportunity to revisit this. Do we really want to wait that long for the cost of a coffee a month? 0002 Debbie Hickey President, Ossekeag Publishing
