On Our Cover

“Stumping” - one defintion from “thefreedictionary.com” “ - a place or an occasion used for political or campaign oratory: candidates out on the stump.” And yes indeed, we do have politicians out on the stump and Mikie is also taking this occasion to do some stumping of his own, but first let me set the scenario. Our main wood road that runs from our upgraded bridge out towards the back of the property has a fairly steep slope that delivers a steady stream of water downhill in all but the driest times of the year. In order to build a road that is durable, a ditch was dug on the “high” side of the road with the contents deposited on the “downhill” side of the road. Since the road had to be widened, trees were cut down and root balls yanked out and also placed on the downhill side of the road. As a result, the downhill side of the road is littered with stumps, excavated large rocks and other debris from the uphill side. Wood roads are intended to be useful, not pretty, just like a good man!! The missus, however, complains that she got neither!! Since I very much want to be able to easily walk from the road into the woods without risking a broken ankle from putting a foot in the wrong spot, I have taken to “stumping”. The excavator that did the road work was able to rip out large stumps and easily toss them to the side of the road. Thanks to the missus, I am $60 to

$100 thousand away from doing the same thing. With the 5 ton logging winch on my 2.5 ton tractor, a really large stump will cause the cable to be pulled so tight that I can do a chinup without even sagging the cable, but the blinkity-blank stump just sits laughing at my puny efforts. So now Mikie is taking his tractor mounted backhoe (poor man’s excavator) and rooting around the big stumps, knocking off dirt, breaking up some of the root ball and otherwise getting them down to a weight that I can manage to work with. Unlike, our political stumpers, if you attended a Mike stumping session, you would likely hear some fine and even unusual oratory. “Why you no good, low down …#*@!!.” Sounds just like one politician talking about an opponent!! 0001

ATTENDANCE MATTERS The Anglophone South School District is pleased to introduce a new initiative called “Attendance Matters”. The Superintendent called for a working group to study student attendance in response to a heightened awareness/ concern expressed by administrators, teachers, District Office personnel and by members of the District Education Council. With the startup of the 201516 school year the District will be launching an awareness campaign, “Attendance Matters”. Being present and on time impacts positively on learning from K-12. Good attendance helps to build habits that will last a lifetime and transfer to life beyond public education. “Attendance Matters” will be part of the School Improvement Plan for every school and is supported by the District Education Council. Families and Community members can find Information on the Anglophone South Website (asd-s. nbed.nb.ca). As well there is a link to a brochure and a short video featuring students from the District. Students

will take an active role in promoting the awareness campaign. PSSCs will be involved and students will go home the first week of school with further information. ASD-S recognizes that parents and guardians hold the greatest influence with their children and we are seeking their support for the “Attendance Matters” initiative. For more information please contact Zoe Watson, Superintendent , ASD-S, 658-5325. 3668

"HEALTH FOOD FOR HEALTHY LAWNS" BY URBAN LANDSCAPING LTD.

LIVE WELL ARE YOU A PEOPLE-PLEASER? A “peoplepleaser” is often described as someone who does things for others that they could and should be doing for themselves. It is often disguised as kindness or helping but in reality it is behavior rooted in fear - fear of rejection, fear of disappointing others or fear of failure - and ultimately, it is neither kind nor helpful. Why? Because doing things for others that they need to do for themselves cripples them from ever learning how to do it themselves and it creates unhealthy dependency. In the words of former writer and lecturer, Earnie Larsen, peoplepleasing is “psychological baby-making!” An inability to say “No” to others’ requests is one of the hallmarks of a people pleaser, who eventually become unable to set healthy boundaries with others even to the point of risking their own health and happiness rather than deal with the fear of others not liking or rejecting them.

PARTS

SALES

It is believed that learning to be a peoplepleaser may have its roots in childhood where one may have experienced conditional love, or love that is given as long as one is pleasing in manner and doing what parents or other caregivers feel he or she should. Doing the approved behavior results in compliments or rewards, while doing that which is not approved can result in withdrawal of affection, praise or approval. This can be devastating for a child who quickly learns to be pleasing and agreeable and to never disappoint others. Consequently, this people-pleasing behavior continues into adult life but with serious consequences. Another way in which children learn to be people pleasers is from growing up in a home with critical parents who practiced harsh criticism or punishments for even small mistakes. Regardless of how one may have learned to seek love and approval through perfectionism or people-pleasing, there can be serious health and personal consequences that

SERVICE

continue even if parents or caregivers are deceased. So, how does one stop being a people pleaser? Here are some suggestions that might help. Ask if what is being asked is something that the person could do for themselves, stall before responding perhaps by saying: “I’ll need to get back to you about that”. Set time limits - for example, “I can help for an hour or so”, assertiveness training, counselling, practice saying “no” in front of a mirror. Remember if someone is going to dislike you for setting limits and boundaries, this is a conditional friendship/relationship; are these the kinds of individuals you want controlling your life? 0008

GET FISHING IT’S STURGEON TIME As the warmer months of summer pass us by, we start to get into one of my favorite times of year - sturgeon season! The Kennebacasis River is a wintering ground for one of over 20 species of sturgeon, the shortnose. There are shortnose sturgeon populations all along the East coast of North America, however our population is the only one for which you are allowed to fish for recreationally. Sturgeon have been around since the age of the dinosaurs. They have five rows of bony plates called 'scutes' along their bodies which have protrusions sticking out, If you catch a sturgeon less than 30 inches, they can often be quite sharp. I've ruined more than one pair of rain pants and nicked up my hands many times, thanks to those scutes! I love knowing that I will very likely land at least one fish over three feet,

sometimes over four feet long, every time I go sturgeon fishing in the Fall. As the water continues to get cooler, the sturgeon fishing just gets better and better. Being in tidal waters we are permitted to fish them right until the river freezes over, and being kayak anglers, that is exactly what my friends and I do! To fish for sturgeon there are a variety of approaches but they all revolve around getting your bait (most use nightcrawlers) to the river floor and keeping it stationary. Sturgeon will hover over the bait and suck it off the hook. The average size of our shortnose sturgeon is around 32”. To retain a sturgeon it would have to be 120 cm (just over 47”) long, which would make them over 50 years old! Shortnose sturgeon are hard to find that long however. Since the start of 2014, I’ve caught over 175 sturgeon, only seven of which would have been this long, with my longest at 54”.

My favorite part of sturgeon fishing is guiding others who’ve never caught one before. I offer a guided kayak fishing service and have helped both kids and adults catch their first sturgeon on the Kennebacasis. Nothing is more rewarding then seeing the joy on the face of a 10 year old young man as he lifts his first sturgeon (1st of 3 on the day) out of the water! If you like to know more about sturgeon fishing on the Kennebecasis contact me at joetilley76@hotmail. com, 847-4809, or through my blog (http://nbkayakfishing.ca). 0044

IN THE GARDEN SLUGS AND SNAILS AND PUPPY DOGS’ TAILS... That line of the rather derogatory poem would imply that all snails were to be rejected or at the very least avoided; however some are indeed very useful additions to the garden, at least to the small ponds that many of us are privileged to have. In order to maintain an attractive water feature some tasks need to be completed, during the rather hot spell the water level has evaporated to the point where a top-up is needed and before that is done it’s wise to remove the build up of fallen leaves and the ever present duck weed that seems to appear from nowhere and to increase on an hourly basis! Removal can be done easily with a small plastic garden rake and if you are fortunate enough to have introduced a small quantity of water snails into the pond they will need to be offered the opportunity to continue their

good work of cleaning the water of algae, So!, by placing all the gungy muck and rubbish on the side of the pond you will give these chaps a chance to slither back into the pond and continue their feasting and carousing. Ideally ponds should have plant material on only one third of the surface of the water in order to provide adequate space for frogs to strut their stuff, for birds to access a drink and for the plant life to flourish. Most water plants produce enormously tough roots which can only be divided by the use of a tough saw and like most divisions from the garden there are usually people who will be glad to take any excesses. Once the water level has been restored it’s wise to ensure that a good quantity of low growing plants will surround the pond, giving shade and protective covering to the frogs that are indispensable. They not only look after dispatching the mosquitoes but will look after the slugs and some of the soft shelled land snails. Bullfrogs have been known to eat small birds and snakes! When all

this work has been accomplished you will have provided ideal conditions for the survival of the frog family and a nonchemical means of pest removal, Bravo!! We have slipped past the full moon in September and may have a few more weeks for the tomatoes to ripen, however, if there is a hint of frost in the forecast, action must be taken! By digging up the whole tomato plant, knocking off excess soil and hanging the plant by its tail in a frost free environment one can almost guarantee fresh, off the vine tomatoes for Christmas dinner. If such a place is not available they can be picked and kept between layers of newspaper on racks, in a well ventilated spot, where they will ripen fairly quickly, checking every few days against possible mildew. Blessings! 0038 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

The Sport of Fencing improves overall

Attending Fencers at Renforth Fencing Camp fitness while developing coordination of mind and body. It is a sport which relies on the use of tactics and strategy as well as speed and skill while facing your opponent. The need to think quickly and adapt to constantly changing situations is key. In fact, the modern sport of fencing has been described as trying to play chess while running the 100 metre dash!

Since the beginning of the first Summer Olympic Games in 1896, fencing is still one of the original sports of the Summer Olympic Games. The Renforth Fencing Club will resumed classes on September 8 at the Ecole des Pionniers School in Quispamsis. For more information, please contact Diane Raiche-Phillips atdiraiche@rogers.com. 3685

POINT OF VIEW OPERATION SKINNY JEANS It's no secret that I'm not a fan of jeggings or skinny jeans. Unless you've been living under a rock these past three years, you know of what I speak. For the lucky few that don't, jeggings are essentially leggings made of super stretch denim. Like the socalled skinny jeans, they mold to every bulging curve from the top of your waist to the tiny tops of your ankles. Apparently, they're the fashion trend that keeps on trending.....year after year after glorious year. With a teen daughter in the house, I try really hard to be open minded when it comes to the latest trends. In fact, I've become quite good at biting my tongue and nodding my head up and down when she asks me how her beloved jeggings look. For her sake, and for the sake of millions of others who think they actually look great on anyone – no matter what their body type – I salute you. Having said that,

I actually do own one pair of skinny jeans. It happened in Vegas! No, it actually did. Call it a weak moment, call it what you will, but I stumbled upon a Levi's outlet store and tried on a pair of skinny jeans. I vividly remember stumbling around the changing room, trying to pull these teensy tiny little jeans up over my not-soteensy tiny butt. It was not an easy feat – more like a workout, actually - but I finally got them on and they fit. They looked hideous to me, but they actually fit. Oh, and they were on sale. So, unlike the Las Vegas slogan that says what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, the skinny jeans happened and they did not stay in Vegas. During the colder months, which in New Brunswick is about eight months of the year, I wear my trendy jeans with knee high boots, a long shirt and jacket (preferably long enough to cover the jeans). The rest of the time, I roll them up a bit and wear them to my back deck, where nobody but me has to see them. Liv thinks they're great, and compliments me every time. But, who is she kidding?

Not me! It's safe to say I'll never really love my skinny jeans, or anyone else's. But, I'm now hip enough to say I own a pair. What I also own, still wear and hope they come back in style soon, are my beloved bootcut and flare leg jeans. They are the bomb, as far as I'm concerned. They provide a more flattering fit for all body types. But, what do I know? If you join the jegging and skinny jeans movement, practice safe stretch. Remember, getting those things on is tough, but taking them back off is even tougher. 0032

LISTEN IN TALENT SHOWS! I remember performing in bands in the 80’s (yes that long ago!) and entering talent shows called “Battle of the Bands”. They mostly were local contests where bands would sign-up to battle it out on stage against each other while a group of so called experts or talent judges would grade on the performance. Sometimes the audience would be able to participate as well, individually voting for their favorite by filing in a ballot or by the amount of applause. From that perspective it helped to have lots of friends and family because they didn’t really care whether you deserved it or not. They were going to vote for you! Today that contest still exists, only now social media has created a greater reach and the contest itself has become a global phenomenon creating instant stars (although not many forge a career out it) through various mediums, bringing it all to an unimaginable level. You know the

show/contests; Idol, The Voice, America’s (Canada’s) Got talent, the world over has created their own version of these as well even smaller urban markets have jumped on the bandwagon. Myself, I have helped co-organize some of these local talent and singing contests and sat on the judging panels of these for years. I have also juried for the ECMA’s (East Coast Music Awards) and the Juno’s. It blows my mind to discover all the untapped talent out there and how these artists and their family and friends will travel great distances to compete in these contests in hopes of winning the Big Prize. It’s reminiscent of those beauty pageants I have only seen on TV, the camaraderie versus the spirit of fierce competition in equal measure. Great networking opportunities abound! It’s also enlightening from my perspective to see and hear all the amazing undiscovered talent there is out there, especially right here in our backyard! It gives that same sobering realistic view to those who are out there trying to make it in the

music/performance and entertainment business. You have to go out there and put yourself under that spotlight. Or is it microscope? That is why it’s called show business. I just finished another of those talent shows this past weekend called, “Dream Night Talent Search” and I discovered so much brilliant regional talent as well as talent from the US. I also had the opportunity to share the judging with some amazing talent including US booking agent Wendy Klein Kay, Megan DeCourcey and the "Crown Prince of Soft pop" Kyle Vincent, formerly of the band “Candy” fame with Gilby Clarke (G’N’R). He also toured with Barry Manilow who is a big KV fan and the Bay City Rollers! Lots of talent out there! Look for it! 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists

DONATION TO SOPHIA RECOVERY CENTRE A local women's philanthropic group continues to impact its community with its tenth donation, this one in the amount of $23,181.00 to Sophia Recovery Centre, with a top up of $2,600 from Exchange on Germain from an end of season Charity Bazaar bringing the total donation tonight to $25,781.00. The members also heard pitches from Kingsway Life Care Alliance and P.R.O. Kids Saint John. After a successful June 2013 launch of the local chapter of 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John, its membership continues to thrive as it completed its tenth meeting. We were able to donate $25,781 on September 8 - the $81 coming from our youngest member Sophie Dumouchel, who comes to every meeting with her mom and makes her contribution, having raised her money from doing odd

jobs – Sophie is truly the future of our organization. Since its inception in June 2013, 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John has now donated$248,159 to local charities. Members meet for an hour to hear three 5-minute presentations by local charities that have been nominated by our members and randomly selected ahead of time. Members jointly select one of the three presenting local charity or not-for-profit organization by way of a vote to receive the bulk donation at the end of the presentations. Each

member then writes a $100 cheque to the winning organization and watches how the group’s commitment turns into a sizeable donation. The process is repeated four times a year. Each time, members get to witness how their combined donations can improve local lives when placed in the hands of deserving grass-roots agencies working to serve the local community. The Greater Saint John chapter meets again on December 8. For more information about 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John visit: 100womenGSJ.com. 3693

TALKING TO YOUR FAMILY ABOUT MONEY Talking about money is not just about budgeting, credit and savings. Although these are crucial to a cohesive family life, the reality is not everyone is the nuclear family and we are left with broader financial topics that need to be discussed. Families are much more diverse and complex than the traditional husband and wife and eventually kids. Both my parents married again when I was in my twenties, I have great step-parents, could not ask for better, but I have not lived in their homes. So, not only is it crucial for me to talk to my biological parents about their financial plans, I also need to have the conversations with my step-parents. I have been financially single for most of my life, but I also realize now more and more my finances impact others, and I am starting to look at those people who impact my finances. And when I say ‘those people’ I do mean my biological and chosen family. My partner recently lost his mother, which was a financial wake-up call for me personally. I found myself thinking about who are my beneficiaries, if I was not able to handle my finances who would do that for me and how do I start the conversation with those that I will be taking care of? The first step was to talk to my partner, we do talk about money on a regular basis, it’s what I do, and I can’t help it. But, this is a different conversation, it was more than did you remember to pay your credit card off or how much did you spend at the grocery

store? We know we are moving toward the same mutual financial goals, and we talk with ease on our financial decisions. Our discussions have changed, they have moved from dollars and cents to now cover who makes the decisions, what we have insured, what we need insured, what we will do about our real estate, powers of attorney and wills. That conversation is now in the process of communicating our plans with our families and close friends I have also started the conversation with my father about what his and my stepmothers plans are, typically the conversation went “we are spending all the money, sorry there will not be any.” The fact of whether you are being left money in the end is not a concern (and completely out of your control); it is knowing what they want and what they will need from me. Fortunately, they have more of a plan then spending it all. I know their plans for their house, downsizing and debt. When starting the conversation about finances, you do not have to talk numbers, it’s not an asset minus the debts; it is a conversation that involves goals, wishes and organization. Do not be afraid to ask, you may be surprised on how much you actually enjoy the conversation. 0005

HIKE FOR HOSPICE The 11th Annual Bayshore Hike for Hospice is set for Saturday, September 19 at Bobby’s Hospice, 385 Dufferin Row. Registration at 10:00am, start time 11:00am The day starts with music and fun for the kids, followed by a walk around the block, a posthike barbecue and prizes for the top fundraisers. This year’s Honorary Hospice Family is the James Family in honor of their loved one, Michelle James who died at

Bobby’s Hospice in May. Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37. She and her husband Jeff and their two daughters, Taylor and Shannon bravely battled the disease for 10 years and willingly shared their journey on social media which helped to inspire others on similar journeys. When no more could be done to stop Michelle’s disease, the James Family came to Bobby’s Hospice for care and support in Michelle’s final days. For 33 days, the doctors, nurses, support staff and volunteers of Bobby’s Hospice gave Michelle the best care possible

MILK & COOKIE FUN RUN The Kennebecasis Valley Regional Police department, spearheaded by Constable Kelley McIntyre, will be coordinating a Milk & Cookie Fun Run in memory of Tanya Shand on Saturday, September 26 starting at 9:00am. Tanya’s silhouette was unveiled and inducted as a New Brunswick Silent Witness on September 20, 2014. While the event is in memory of Tanya, each kilometre of this event will be dedicated to women in our area who have lost their lives as a result of domestic violence: Alice Leadlay (1 km), Melanie Davis (2 km), Cindy Irving (3 km), Cathy Bawn (4 km), and Tanya Shand (5 km). There will be a 1 km kids run (12 and under) at 9:00am. At 10:00am, we will have the 5 km memorial run and 1 km walk. There will be cookies, activities, educational booths, and lots more fun. Registration can be done at the Kennebecasis Regional Police Station or online at: events.runningroom.com/ site/?raceId=12463. 100 % of the proceeds from this race will go directly back into this community. Our goal is to educate and create awareness on healthy relationships beginning with the youth in our community. We will continue to work with the schools in our community to help raise awareness. Our hope is that we will prevent another family from facing this type of tragedy. There is no strength in silence… end the silence on domestic violence! 3690

MUSINGS TOO CONNECTED? Several very different media stories and events have been painful to experience these past few days. Locally, fourteen cats were found abandoned in a dog crate. At this point it appears one of the poor little kitties will survive. To be honest, I have not

been able to read much of the news coverage as it makes me physically ill to even consider what they must have gone through. As an acknowledged cat lover I may find this more difficult to comprehend than others might, but I cannot imagine anyone could be unaffected by this upsetting event. From the other side of the world, social media has been circulating a

photo of a Syrian child’s body washed up on the shore in Turkey. In Virginia, a reporter and cameraman were shot and killed during a live broadcast. The killer then posted his own video of the shootings to Facebook. Getting to the connectedness . . . if I read about such events in mainstream media there is normally warning of graphic and upsetting content and I can make the choice to proceed or stop. Do I necessarily need all of the details? If I wish I can choose to read only the general overview, stopping when I reach the point of overload. Social media, however, often does not give us that option, at least not by default. I am not a heavy user of social media of any kind, largely utilizing it to share photos and information with a few friends and family and following the newsfeeds of a few organizations. I do resent when videos automatically play without my choosing to watch them. While I do not want these stories to not be reported, I also do not wish my personal space to be bombarded with negative stories that I cannot avoid. The world is NOT all populated with monsters, but this constant barrage can lead one to think it is. Yes we need to be aware of such events, but we should not be forcing people to experience more detail than they are prepared to handle. Let me make my own choices on how much I wish to see and hear. (Note: According to my IT guru (aka Mikie) you can set Facebook to NOT autoplay videos, but most of us are not aware of this.) “When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways - either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. ” ~ Dalai Lama. 0002
