Education will likely be a hot topic during the election campaign, but I wonder if anyone will offer a truly viable solution to improving our educational outcomes. I believe that the research shows quite clearly that if children enter the school system unprepared socially, emotionally and are behind in core skills, the school system faces a steep uphill and expensive battle to bring the child up to the desired level of performance. I would suggest that the biggest problem may not be with our schools but with our pre-school support for children and parents. Learning begins in the womb, and the health of the mother during pregnancy can have a permanent impact on the lifelong abilities of the child. Following birth, lack of emotional support, lack of adequate stimulation both physical and intellectual, can also leave permanent scars that impair future learning. We therefore need to focus much more of our attention on the early years so that the educational system is fed by students ready and able to learn. While I can respect many things that were done by former premier Frank McKenna, dismantling our vocational training abilities at the high school level, is not one of them. Even if we have young healthy (physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually) students entering the school system, there will always be distinct differences in students interests and abilities.

office job using a computer will only satisfy a percentage of students. More career options need to be offered. Based on my teaching experience at UNBSJ, somewhere between 20% and 30% of the students in their first year are probably wasting their time and money. While all learning is good, having a bare pass as an Arts major will do very little for your employment prospects. Having a good technical or trades diploma probably offers far better employment opportunities and earnings for the future. We need to do more to ensure that our youth are counselled and schooled in a way that is appropriate to their intellectual capacity, but also their passions and interests. An individual with a high IQ but a passion for cooking is likely better off to go for the cooking than the Arts degree. While, our current school system may need some fixing, I have been generally extremely pleased what our grandgranddaughter has experienced in her first three years of the educational system. 0001

to human causes. Since then National Forest Week, renamed in 1967, has evolved to encompass the many and varied human and environmental aspects of Canada’s forest resources – past, present and future. Although special activities are promoted across Canada, National Forest Week remains first and foremost a challenge to individual Canadians to learn more about their forest heritage and support greater recognition of this valuable resource. National Forest Week is observed annually during the last full week of September, Sunday through Saturday.

National Tree Day is observed on the Wednesday of National Forest Week. How to Participate in National Forest Week: arrange a tree planting (treecanada. ca); take a walk in woods nearby and get to know your forest; care for a newly planted or neglected tree, and study its species; identify all the things at home or school that are made of wood; learn about organizations that demonstrate sustainable forest management; tour a forest sector industry or processing site; learn about the prevention of forest fires; contact a provincial forestry association for teaching materials. 3101

2014 NATIONAL FOREST WEEK The theme for this year’s National Forest Week is “Sunrise in the Forest” which recognizes: A new day is dawning across Canada’s forests - one with great opportunity and great rewards; Today’s forestry is high-tech, diverse, innovative and green; be part of the responsible stewardship of our most important renewable resource; Wake up to a career in the forest sector - where bright minds make the future brilliant! Established circa 1920 as Forest Fire Prevention Week, the intention was to encourage greater public awareness towards Canada’s forests. At the time, there was no apparent shortage of trees for industrial expansion and the greatest threat came from forest fires, due mainly

COMMUNITY SHRED

KV CAMERA CLUB

Kennebecasis Valley Crime Stoppers are hosting a free Community Shred at the Staples parking lot on Saturday, SeptEMBER 20 from 10:00am-3:00pm. We have partnered with Shred-It, who have provided one of their mobile shedding units and an operator for the day of the event and with Staples Rothesay who have provided the use of their parking lot to stage the event. The purpose of the event is to promote Crime Stoppers and our programs,

raising awareness of the devastating results of identity theft. We encourage residents to bring any documents that could identify them or other documents they may wish to have properly destroyed to the event, rather than placing them in the trash where identity thieves can access personal information. This is a free event, however, as we are a non-profit organization and will gladly accept any donations. 3115

All are welcome to the Kennebecasis Valley Camera Club - we meet the first Tuesday of the month at the Kennebecasis Library (lower meeting room at rear of building) from 6:45-8:45pm. Meeting agenda includes guest speakers, workshops, audio visual presentations and competitions. Bring your enthusiasm and watch your photography skills grow.

The organizers of the Nauwigewauk Fair, which took place August 9, would like to extend our warmest thanks to all of our volunteers who helped make this event a huge success! We would not have been able to pull it off without the tremendous support of the volunteers, cookers, builders, the talented entertainers, special sponsors and the community. Special thank you’s going out to the Superstore, Costco, Kent and Bryers for their generous donations; the Bridge Auction artists for their wonderful art; Mike O'Brien for the fun hay rides; the Nauwigewauk Fire Department for parking; Bob Alston for opening the fair; Bernadette Fowler for the spinning display and donation; the musicians for their toe-tapping music; and to The Potting Shed for the beautiful decorations. Carl Raeburn won the 50/50 draw. Sally Ritchie won the hammock donated by Costco. Lori Garland won the amazing quilt. The fireworks were, once again, an amazing display! It was wonderful to see so many neighbours, old and new, come out to enjoy the beautiful day! The money raised will be used towards upgrading infrastructure at the Nauwigewauk Community Club so that we can continue to use this great facility for years to come. On that note, we’d also like to see those neighbours again on Saturday, October 4 for the Community Breakfast ($6.50/adults, $3/children), from 8:30-10:30am, at the Nauwigewauk Hall. Breakfast includes pancakes, sausages, eggs, toast, coffee and tea. Hope to see you there! 3108

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton PICKLES, PICKLES, PICKLES Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s restaurant and catering with another answer to your question. This week I was asked about pickling which of course led to a long discussion. Pickling is the process of preserving food by anaerobic fermentation in brine or vinegar. The resulting food is called a pickle. This procedure gives the food a salty or sour taste. It began as a way to preserve the harvest food to last the winter. Back before refrigeration, we could not freeze food and we needed to find ways to keep it from going bad. This was one of the ways. Pickling is the act of increasing the pH to more than 4.6. This is the amount that kills any bacteria yet still leaves the food edible. The most common pickling is done with vinegar, sugar, salt and flavours such as cinnamon, mustard seed and dill. Some countries would just soak the vegetables

in a high salt content such as sauerkraut or kimchi. By pickling your vegetables, some meats, eggs and fruit, you were able to keep some of the integrity of the food. They would still have a crunch to them or retain their appearance. Another form of preserving food was canning. A much harder process but did not add flavour, sourness or salt to the food. This is done by removing all bacteria by cooking the food then adding it to a sterile environment. Remember back to my article about bacteria; if you remove temperature, moisture or oxygen from food, most bacterias could not grow. In this case we are removing oxygen. The last way I am going to talk about is chutneys. Not as common in this area of the world but very common in warmer climates. Chutneys are very similar to pickling but you would cook the food prior to adding it to the jar. This would make a more mushy product but would still preserved the food until the next growing season. Pickling and preserving food became

part of our culture. Families would come together every harvest time and spend days getting ready for the winter. Some families would do some vegetables in large quantity and other families would do different items and they would exchange - not for money, but that is how communities worked. That’s how traditions start. Pickling unfortunately is a dying skill. Families are too busy today to get together for this tradition. Recipes are being forgotten and lost. It easier to just go buy our favourite pickles then create our own. I hope it comes back some day and if anyone has a recipe they don’t want to lose, share it on the internet, on your Facebook page and let a piece of your traditions live on. 0040

KINGSTON EQUESTRIAN EVENT On July 19 & 20, despite the aftermath of hurricane Arthur, a first time judged pleasure (jp) and poker ride was held on the Kingston Peninsula. Riders from as far away as Quebec and Nova Scotia loaded up their horses and made the drive to ride the beautiful trails of the Peninsula. A Judged Pleasure Ride is meant to be fun ride with a little competition. It is a great way to get a horse ready for competitive rides over a longer distance. Many riders choose this type of ride to relax a horse normally used for ring work, schooling young horses or for people who do not have the time or interest to condition their horses for endurance rides. The distance is between 10 and 20 miles. With no time constraints the pace is slower and the terrain less strenuous. There is time to enjoy the company of friends, the scenery and even take a few photos. A great job was done by our judge, Roberta Gorham, who donated her time in ensuring all horse and riders finished safe and sound. Day two was a poker ride. Commonly this type of a ride is on motorcycle or ATV but to have little fun, local riders trailered their horses in to draw five

hands of cards along a relaxing trail. Best hand with four aces and a deuce was won by Raven Storey of Oromocto with remaining money donated to Kingston and Hampton Kids Kicking Cancers Relay for Life team. Special thanks to the Iron Order MC for donating their club and familys’ time to taking care of the BBQ and clean up. A big round of applause goes to the Legion committee, the ride site was located at their Moss Glen Legion Branch 62, without allowing us to use their large field and facilities it would have been very challenging to have hosted the two-day event. The Moss Glen Fire Department was also a big help in providing us with a holding tank of water to fill water buckets and sponge the horses off. Along with the legion, local donations from Jordive Ltd, Ernie Gorham’s Turkey Farm, Kingston General Merchants, Reeds Point Pub & Grill, Co-Op, Shur Gain Feeds & Needs, Green Hawk Equestrian Supplies, White Head Country Store and Costco made it possible to present awards; and of course the delicious turkey dinner cooked up by the Wiggins family.

If you’re living in an older home and have been there for awhile no doubt you’ve had a peek out your windows, but have you had a good look at them? Older windows are much less efficient than newer models. While it will cost you a bit to have them replaced you will most likely save money on your heating bills if your windows are over twenty years old.

hen most of us think of home improvement we generally think of the flashy stuff and the obvious things. New siding, fresh coats of paint and maybe a paved driveway. All of those things definitely improve your home, no doubt about it, but what if you could improve your home and save money at the same time. Sounds like a

water and power. So while leaky faucets may seem like a minor annoyance, they can be a huge money waster that adds up over time. Seeing our lawns turn green again is a sure sign of spring, and having a lush green yard can be great for backyard entertaining in the summer. But did you know that Fall is a great time to catch up on a little lawn maintenance. Applying fertilizer, planting a little extra seed over the rough patches, and de-thatching if necessary are all activities perfectly suited to be done before the arrival of the leaves on our once pristine lawns. Maintenance done now will help you to have a beautiful lawn next summer and for years to come. With the cold winds of winter fast approaching now is a great time to check your windows and doors to make sure that the weather stripping is still doing a good job at keeping the cold out and the warm in. If you need help determining where heat (and therefore money) is leaking out of your house, call an efficiency expert and get a second opinion on the matter. Not all home improvements are created

equal though. Some fetch a much higher return on your investment than others. Remodelling a kitchen or bathroom will have a high rate of return for the money you’ve invested into your house. Provided you sell while it’s still fresh and fashionable. Other improvements like windows will likely only raise the value of your home by half of the cost of purchasing and installing them, but white vinyl windows don’t really go out of style so that investment will raise the value of your home for a longer period of time. It will also likely save you money if

your current windows are older or in bad repair. If a splash of colour is what you think your house needs, don’t forget to prime your walls first. Using a primer helps the paint stick better and show off it’s true colours. If you are going from a dark colour to a light colour, you will definitely want to prime first to help give the lighter colour a bit of a boost. If you’re adding a darker colour to a white or light wall, you may be able to skip the primer all together. Be sure to ask when you go to pick out your paints whether or not you’ll also need a primer. Before you get started on your fall home improvements and maintenance take an hour or so and do a walk around your house, both inside and outside. Be thorough and honest about what needs to be fixed. Use a pen and paper, or your favourite to-do app on your phone and make a list of everything you find that needs to be repaired or replaced. Next prioritize your list by what has to be done, what should

POINT OF VIEW MY HAPPY PLACE I think most of us have that one favourite place that defines happy for them. For some, it might be their cottage, a favourite fishing hole, or a Sunday drive for ice cream. For me, that favourite place is a proverbial symbol of summer and relaxation – the hammock. And, the best part? I don't have to leave my back yard to get there. It's nothing more than a sling suspended between two trees and I love it. It's my happy place. Those who know me well know that I love silence and solitude. It's my way of recharging after interacting with people all day. With my book in one hand and blanket in the other, I climb into my little piece of heaven, get comfy, take a deep breath and just savour the quiet beauty that surrounds me. As I lie there under the shade of our giant maple trees, I take time to appreciate the things money can't buy. I'm grateful for

by diane mcmillan

the clean country air that we breathe. Well, except for those times when that air is filled with scents of nature's fertilizer. What can I say – we live in farm country! I love the feel of a gentle breeze, as it rustles the leaves overhead. In a few weeks time, those leaves will be changing to beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange, and falling to the earth in preparation for winter. I love the little brook that runs through our property. The sound of water trickling by can lull me to sleep like rain falling on a tin roof. Did I mention that a hammock is a great place to take a nap, too? There's the sounds of the crickets chirping, the birds singing and wooden wind chimes being played by the wind. Oh, and I can't forget the sky. I prefer it when it's blue and there isn't snow or rain falling from it, but that's a discussion for dear Mother Nature. I dare say we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. We're surrounded by hills and valleys, covered bridges, two beautiful nine-hole golf

courses, two great restaurants, two award-winning wineries, community pool, the Belleisle Bay, and Midland Ice Caves. Oh, and did I mention we're also home to the province's longest running fundraising auction – the Belleisle Home & School Harvest Auction? The next time you're feeling a little down, I dare you to pay attention to the little things all of us take for granted. There's beauty all around us, we just have to take a moment to look at it, smell it, feel it, taste it and appreciate it. I prefer to do it from the comfort of my hammock, but any place will do. If you have a comment or column idea, I'd love to hear from you. My e-mail is diane@ ossekeag.ca. 0032

VALLEY LOCAL WINS SJ IDOL Becca Reay is this year’s Saint John Idol winner. It was an unexpected win for Becca as this was her first time entering the contest. She wasn’t sure if she was going to sign up but with encouragement from her mother, Becca Reay put in her name. Many of her friends from church and high school came out to support Becca as she sang on the boardwalk in Saint John. Becca started singing when she was very young and has never received professional lessons. She also learned

Becca Reay is this year’s Saint John Idol winner. how to play the piano during childhood with the help of an instructor and four years ago she picked up the guitar and taught herself to play that as well. Winning felt good but was unexpected for Becca. She plans to take the ten thousand dollars in prize money and

apply it towards her post-secondary education. Even with stiff competition Becca made quite a few friends with the other contestants of Saint John Idol and is glad she signed up to sing. Congratulations Becca! 3117

FRESH WITH FOOD A MILLION DOLLARS IS NOT A MILLION DOLLARS... A week ago I woke up to a crispness in the air. The northerly winds had begun pouring autumn into Kings County. While our days are still warm, there is no doubt that the morning air is a sign that leaves are soon to change. In truth, New Brunswickers are able to harvest from the spring thaw until at least January. We go from spring harvested root vegetables and fiddleheads to frozen kale and coldframe spinach. However, autumn is the time of the year when local food is most abundant and we should all take advantage of that. In my opinion, the best thing you could do for the economy is buy local food. At Kredl's, there isn't a time of year when less than 40% of the products are local. Even that only lasts a few months. The rest of the year, Kredl's is able to stock its shelves with anywhere from 60%-80% Maritime grown produce, almost all of that being from within a 100 mile radius. If a million dollars is spent online or in a store with headquarters outside of the province, that million dollars is basically worth a million dollars. However, if a million dollars is spent on local food, the store that sells it pays around 30% of that directly into the hands of local employees. 50%60% of that million will go to the local farmers, who also spend about 30% (sometimes higher in agriculture) on local employees. If the local

employees turn around and buy local food, and they along with the store and the farmer also locally-source their supplies, repairs, and all the other items that cannot be produced here, then the million dollars passes through half a dozen hands before it falls out of the system. This makes one million dollars more like five or six million dollars. So this harvest season, think about where you are buying your food and most importantly, think about where your $100-$200 a week on groceries goes. How many people can it benefit in your community before it leaves the province? I don't expect you to eat 100% local food, but from now until the new year, see if you can buy 50% locally GROWN food. According to the NB Dept. of Ag, in the last two decades, we have lost 22% of our farms. We are lucky to still be able to buy a plethora of locally grown fruit, greens, legumes, root vegetables, eggs, fish, dairy, meat, bread baked with local flour, grains and the list goes on. Happy harvest season! 0039

FIVE TIPS TO BUYING YOUR NEXT CAR ON KIJIJI The vehicle listings on classiﬁed websites are often light on graphics and always free of oversight, and cruising them can be an eye-opening experience. Usable at no cost for most sellers, half-truths are plentiful in the listings, and vehicle histories are rare, leaving it to you to connect the dots. Yet websites like Kijiji and Auto Trader can be a highly effective tool for locating the car of your dreams. 1. Hone your search. These websites allow users to conﬁgure their search results to include dealers, private sellers, or both. If a warranty or fresh MVI’s are high on your list of priorities, you’ll want to restrict yourself to dealer listings. On the other hand, if driving for two-hours to look at rust-ravaged, Vietnam-era forward control Jeep that “ran when parked” is your thing, you already know the drill: private sellers all the way. Still, the “both” setting can be handy when looking for a nice commuter car or winter beater, as most dealers will offer such things, and the private sale sector is chalked full of them. 2. Size up the seller. It’s true you can’t judge

The Valley Viewer

a book by its cover, but the type contained within can be quite revealing. Avoid ALL CAPS ads, grainy image ads, and thinly veiled ‘it’s on it’s way’ buzzwords like ‘blows cold air, or stops on a dime’. 3. Call ﬁrst, then meet up. Get as much information about the vehicle as you can on the phone – no texting! — and always ask if more photos are available or can be taken, especially of problem areas — and try to pick up on the seller’s character. There’s nothing worse than carving an hour out to drive across town only to be greeted by a seller who says, “Well, I was just kinda throwing out a feeler, not sure if I really want to sell it at this point.” Of course, it goes without sayingDO NOT go alone. This isn’t speed dating, and we want you to buy safely meeting on common ground is always a good idea, and if the seller agrees, make arrangements to meet at a well-lit, mutually agreeable location. 4. Dealers of Wholesale/Private Sellers of the Same. Often dealers will take in on trade vehicles that are old, it may run for a year –

but what do you want for $500? GET THE MVI check – it’s only $25. Headed to a private sale? Ask the seller to meet at any mechanic and have it run through the shop for an MVI – then you can make an intelligent decision. Second – DEMAND a Carproof! It’s worth its weight in gold. 5. Negotiate. Everything is negotiable. Even if a seller states that a price is ﬁrm, the very nature of these websites and its low price of free to advertise encourages ambitious pricing. Haggling as portrayed on television, however, where the seller lets the car go for half of the price rarely happens in the real world. It’s OK to start low, but insulting a seller with an absurdly low number can quickly sour a deal. Try asking the seller what their bottom dollar is, and then counter with an offer 15 to 20 percent below that ﬁgure. Whether you are headed to a dealer, or to a private sale, using these few tips that I was taught long ago can keep you from buying a lemon, or simply from putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation. Happy Car Hunting!

LISTEN IN by Jeﬀ liberty THIS SIDE OF THE SNOW

EMPLOYMENT

I interviewed the spellbinding songbird and valley girl Marissa Rignanesi about her most recent album “This Side of the Snow” and her musical journey thus far. Read it here and remember to support your local music scene. Jeff - What can you tell us about your songwriting? Is it something you do daily or only when you feel inspired? Marissa - When I first started writing, it was very much about what I happened to be experiencing in the moment and I was very influenced by the music I happened to be listening to at that particular time. I was testing the waters. It was my outlet to talk about what was going on in my life, what I was seeing or feeling, in a way that felt very safe. Now that I’m feeling more comfortable in my own songwriting shoes and music style I’ve been able to look beyond what is happening to me personally and tell

stories that aren’t necessarily about something that took place in my life yesterday. I don’t have a schedule for it, but if I see something or think of a line, I write it down – I have a book of “ideas” that I come back to when I’m feeling inspired. Some of them come together really quickly; some of them I feel will always be a work in progress. Jeff - What are your future plans as a songwriter, recording artist and performer? Marissa - My fiancé and I have some plans to start co-writing and playing together more, so stay tuned for that project! I grew up playing the piano and have recently been doing more shows with the keys instead of just my guitar. The next album (which I have no timeline for just yet) will definitely feature more piano in the songwriting. Jeff - What advice would you give to a young inspiring songwriter today that you wish someone would have told you when you started? Marissa - Play your songs and play

what you want. I spent a lot of time when I first started out thinking that I had to play other people’s music so that the audience wouldn’t leave. I was afraid they wouldn’t like my songs. But the best feedback you can get is to play them live for anyone who will listen. Don’t be afraid of the reaction, take it and use it to make your songs even better than they already are. And don’t be afraid to ask questions and get out into the music community. It’s a group of people who share your love of music and I have never had someone not want to help.

LINKS© PROGRAM AVAILABLE We are pleased to see the discussion in the media around education, in particular, early learning. In one “high needs school” in our province, an estimated 70% of children tested for kindergarten skills were found to have a language deficit. Without early detection and appropriate intervention, children with significant language disorders are at risk for poor literacy outcomes. Language skills deficits do not appear only in children from low income families, although this certainly makes them more vulnerable. To offer specialized remediation, members of our chapter received funding to bring an after school, literacy intervention program from the Greater Saint John Community Foundation for one year. Saint John the Baptist/King Edward School, welcomed our pilot project, LINKS: Linking Language to Learning©. It was developed by speech language pathologists, resource teachers, classroom teachers, parents as well as

personnel from the IWK. Children repeating Kindergarten and Grade 1 were referred and our volunteer tutors proceeded to provide bi-weekly intervention. Within sixweeks, one boy had an “AHA” moment and delightfully informed his tutor, “I can do this!” LINKS© provided these children with essential pre-kindergarten skills, especially phonological awareness, the number one determinant of a struggling reader. While many children acquire these with little effort, for others, it must be taught explicitly. Their teachers found that the children were more willing to participate in class, decode words along with an increase in self-esteem. The teachers have requested that the LINKS© program be made available again this month. While we continue in our attempts to secure funding, we are currently in a position to offer a 10-week session this September. We welcome anyone who may provide financial assistance or tutoring to contact us at: ldaasj@nb.aibn.com. Make REAL changes in REAL lives!

WELL RESTED by angie cummings PREGNANCY & OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. You are seeing changes in your body, feeling the baby move and getting your home and family prepared for the new addition. Some aspects of pregnancy are not so pleasant, such and heartburn, extra weight gain and sleep disturbances. Getting comfortable during sleep can be a real problem when you are pregnant. Your growing body can be difficult to maneuver and onset of Restless Legs Syndrome can happen during pregnancy. Another common and dangerous condition is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a common breathing disorder 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. Pregnant women at risk for developing OSA are those who are already overweight or obese, or who have gained excessive weight while pregnant. The extra weight around your neck can cause your throat to close off during sleep. Those with gestational diabetes or high blood pressure are at higher risk as are those with allergies and nasal congestion commonly caused by higher estrogen levels of pregnancy. OSA causes lowered oxygen levels and increased inflammatory processes during sleep. The associated risks of having untreated OSA during pregnancy include gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. These conditions are very dangerous for mum and baby. Mums with sleep apnea are three times more likely to have a caesarean section, have smaller babies that are more likely to be admitted to the Neonatal ICU for breathing problems. You most likely will not notice that you are stopping breathing at night,

but your bed partner will notice increased snoring and even cessations in breathing at times. You may feel more tired during the day and even doze off at times. If you think you have sleep apnea, or having started snoring since being pregnant and especially if you have high blood pressure, discuss this with your doctor. You should be tested. This can be done in the sleep lab, or done in your home with a simple device. Sleep apnea can be treated very effectively to keep you breathing through the night for you and your baby. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard of treatment. You wear a little mask over your nose and is blows air in while you sleep to keep you throat opened. There are also dental appliances and body positioning devices that may be helpful as well. Be sure to get this looked after as soon as you suspect there may be a problem. You want your pregnancy to be a joyous and healthy as it possibly can be for you and your baby. It has been my pleasure writing about my passion, sleep, for my fellow New Brunswickers and I hope you have enjoyed it too, dear readers. Sweet Dreams! 0046

IN THE GARDEN by betty kennett WATER; WATER EVERYWHERE, YET SCARCE A DROP IN HAMPTON... At the time of writing, the constant prediction by the weather chaps of much needed rain seem to have gone the way of political campaign promises! Small parcels of the countryside have been blessed but for many of us the ground is too hard and dry to work. How to combat the drought is of key interest! The first thing to do is to minimise the amount of foliage that will slurp up the rain when it does come; within a short amount of time it will be necessary to cut back the Siberian Iris to about six inches, the German bearded need to be cleaned up, all the dry leaves removed and the remainder reduced to a fan shape with the tallest remaining at about eight inches. Most of the Day Lilies have finished blooming and they can be chopped back to about six inches

and all the detritus removed from the base, these actions will doubtless reveal a horde of lively earwigs that feast on the roots, so have a bottle of the magic elixir handy (AKA as 1 Tablespoon of dish detergent in a Litre of water). By doing these jobs now you can chalk up a fall job as done, money in the bank! Any flowers that have finished blooming need to be cut off at their base, Astilbe suffer greatly in the dry spells and will bound back faster if they don’t have to support a mass of flower stalks. This is also a good time to do a measured pruning of bushes and trees, as you work at this it is wise to step way back from the bush at regular intervals to make sure that the job is shaping up in the desired fashion, it’s very easy to get carried away and end up with a bald looking or lop sided affair, (reminiscent of the hair do’s that my boys endured at their mother’s hands). Most bushes benefit from having their lower branches removed... unless of course you are layering Forsythia and

the like to produce new bushes... Lilacs certainly do better if about a quarter of their new shoots are severed at ground level and any branches over four years old should be sawn off at root level; if this is not done the life of the bush and the quality of bloom will be severely threatened. So, the trick is to reduce as much as possible the amount of water that the plants need to take up to support the foliage that they have. It goes almost without saying, that any weeds should be removed, not only for water conservation but also to prevent their seed from springing into life the second the rain begins to fall. Enjoy the sun but please, pray for RAIN! Blessings. 0038

MUSINGS by debbie hickey CARS AND CARS AND MORE CARS A few weeks ago the results of a UNB study on car usage in New Brunswick were released. The study showed that over 35% of New Brunswickers live in one community and commute to work in another community, compared to a national average of only 20%. And not surprisingly, most of us (since I am one of them) depend on private automobiles to do it. 90% versus only 78% nationally. This has broad implications for our municipal and provincial budgets. It is an ongoing joke that prior to every provincial election you will see the potholes being filled throughout rural NB. Whether it is true or not, there is certainly a broad perception that the politicians believe roadwork translates into votes. With more cars and more roads we are bound to spend a disproportionate amount of our budget on infrastructure; money that

is not available for teachers or nursing homes or lower taxes or recreational facilities. Personally, I am not adverse to a little less maintenance in exchange for freeing up more dollars for other priorities, but I fear I am in the minority on that. The road that was a dirt road in my youth is now chip-sealed and kept well plowed as well sanded and salted in winter. Like with so many other things, our expectations have been raised and going backwards now would be difficult. For many families, in order for both parents to work there is a need for not one, but two vehicles, as location and shifts are often too different to allow for the sharing of one car and if there are children who require daycare this further complicates an already complex scenario of timing and child care coverage. In fact, one of the conclusions from the report is that in NB, “it may be financially advantageous for a single‐parent with two children to stay home than to work. It takes $8.35/ hr in after‐tax income at 35hrs/week to

pay full‐time daycare ($7,600 average per child), and at least $5.74/hr to maintain a compact vehicle ($10,457 per year). These two costs‐of‐working alone amount to $14/hr, leaving one dollar an hour from the median aftertax wage of $15/hr to pay for food, clothing and shelter.” Kudos to Saint John Transit for the Comex initiative of a few years ago unfortunately, there is no route from Nauwigewauk to Hampton. If you want to read the full report you can find it at: www.unb.ca/research/institutes/urban/_ resources/usci_roadworriers. pdf. What would you be willing to give up to redirect more monies to higher priorities than roads? 0002
