RAVINGS BEST TIME OF YEAR

Ah... fall, definitely the best time of year.

Cooler days for walking. Many years ago, while walking around the Kingston Peninsula, the Missus took a nice deep breath and declared “Hmmm, the smell of rotten vegetarians.” This mistaken use of “vegetarian” for “vegetation” was unfortunate, in that the eldest daughter was one of those rotten vegetarians at the time. Besides the smells of fall, there are of course the sounds of fall... the squawk of blue and occasional grey jays, the chatter of squirrels, the ring of an axe, and well, the roar of the chainsaw.

Taking a momentary break from splitting wood today, I thought back and realized that we have been heating with wood for 34 years now, roughly 200 cords (over 400 tons) of wood cut, split and moved multiple times. One problem that is really starting to evolve as I have more and more time to work in the woods, is “Where in heck do I put it all??”. I am quickly getting to the point where I am going to spend more time finding or constructing places to put wood as I am hauling it out!!

Of course the “Best Time of the Year” is also going to be spent electing our next dictator. Well actually, we will be electing

three or four dictators but only one will get the be the really Big One. Think about how proud Canadians are of the men and women who went to war to fight for freedom. Now... think... about 330+ of the people that we will elect on October 19th will either be miming every word of their leaders or suffer consequences.

Think of it this way. The most important people in Canada, whom we elect to collectively run our country, cannot speak their own mind. Party discipline must become recognized as being antidemocratic, anti the best interest of all Canadians and desperately needs to be outlawed. There are alternatives and they need to be explored.

Fortunately the smell of rotten vegetarians almost covers up the smell of our current political practices. 0001

POINT OF VIEW TALKING TIME ALONE If you'd told me 20 years ago that I'm actually an introvert, I would have called you crazy. After all, I've always considered myself to be a fairly social person. I don't think I'm shy, and actually like most people. It wasn't until I took a couple of different personality tests for former and current employers that I discovered that I possess all the classic characteristics of an introvert.

An introvert, by definition, is a person who is energized by spending time alone. Not all introverts are shy. In fact, many have great social skills and enjoy communicating with other people. The difference is that they need some time to be alone to recharge afterwards. I used to be ashamed to admit that I actually crave and thoroughly enjoy my alone time, and felt guilty for not answering the phone in the evenings or on a weekend.

Once I understood that being an introvert isn't something I chose, it's just

The Valley Viewer

a part of who I am, I learned to embrace my differences. I recently read an article outlining several ways introverts interact differently with the world and, no surprise, I could relate to each and every one of them. Here are just a few examples.

They withdraw in crowds - I'm okay for the first few minutes, and then I tend to get agitated and just feel the urge to run for the nearest exit. Crowds usually mean loud, noisy and congested - three things that easily overstimulates an introvert and drains them of their physical energy.

They are naturally drawn to more creative, detail oriented and solitary careers – bingo!

This explains why I gravitate towards writing and photography. “Introverts naturally prefer spending time alone or in a small group, delving into one task at a time and taking their time when it comes to making decisions and solving problems.

Certain professions, including writers and in-the-field natural scientists can give introverts the intellectual stimulation they crave without the distracting environment they dislike.”

They physically can't stand talking on the phone – unlike certain people I know and love! Most introverts screen their phone calls for several reasons. The intrusive ringing forces them to abandon focus on a certain thought or project and reassign it to something unexpected. Because introverts aren't great at small talk, they will often let calls go to voicemail so they can return them when they have the proper energy and attention to dedicate to the conversation. That would be me!

Lastly, they literally shut down when it's time to be alone – speaking of which… please excuse me while I go bury my head in a good book.

I've craving some alone time. 0032

A MOST MEMORABLE HAMPTON 5-MILER The Hampton 5-miler was unforgettable in so many ways. The Hampton River Runners were very pleased that many of Sheila Burns' family members were able to attend the first ever presentation of the Sheila Burns Award which was established in her memory. The award was given this year to Daryl Steeves, a gentleman who is a perfect example of what the award celebrates. Through his hard work, leadership and personal example, Daryl has for many years made a tremendous contribution to the running community in this region.

By the way, Daryl has never missed any of the 15 Hampton 5-Milers, and he participated in this year’s event despite having fallen and suffered cracked ribs a week previously. He took his time, and was preceded over the finish line by Sheila Burns’ mother, Betty Mitham, who admits to being 85+ years old and is a multiple 5-Miler participant.

Two Canadian running records were

broken! Sixty year old Rob Jackson of Fredericton demolished the previous national record for the 60-64 age group, running the five miles in 28:53 minutes. And one of the local running community’s favorite old fellahs, Frank Kelly of Saint John, ran the distance in 40:39, breaking the Canadian record for 75+ year olds by almost 4 minutes!

A great day for seniors; Daryl Steeves’ comment: “New Brunswick may be the fastest-aging province in Canada, but we are also the fastest aging province”.

Get it?

And the Hampton 5-Miler has become a real family event. So great to see members of the same family participating together in the Kids 1K, the 3K run and/or the 5-Miler.

And last but not least, many thanks to our very generous sponsors (including Ossekeag Publishing) and to the over 90 volunteers who made this year’s 5-Miler a great success - unforgettable.

Betty Mitham presented the first Sheila Burns Award, for Exemplary Work & Leadership in Support of the Running Community, to Daryl Steeves

DIRECTOR’S NOTES THEATRE IS FOR EVERYONE Once every year arts presenters in Atlantic Canada - from FollyFest to StanFest to Newfoundland's Arts and Culture Centres to the Chester Playhouse - get together at an event called Contact East.

Over four very long days we watch showcase performances by artists who hope we'll book them, meet with agents and managers who have even more artists to pitch, attend professional development workshops, share the past year's triumphs and disasters, and make sure the host city's liquor providers do brisk business. These few days are so important to us because for most of the year we each operate as the only person in our community who does what we do. A town can only support one Capitol Theatre or Confederation Centre, and it can get a bit lonely for folks whose lives are consumed by keeping those stages full.

One topic that comes up every year is "barriers to participation" aka "why don't people come to our great shows?"

Research presented at one of this year's workshops lists the top three reasons people don't attend arts events as: 1. lack of time 2. lack of money 3. no one to go with.

There was some pretty lively discussion about what we're already doing, what other people are doing, and what we might do, about all of these.

Lack of time is frankly the trickiest. We're all starting shows earlier so people can be home earlier, and the days of the three act play or four hour vaudeville are long past. In some places artists are creating five minute "pop-up" performances, but

I think there are still a lot of people who really want an evening out.

As for money, Canadian arts organizations do an amazing job of keeping our work affordable. At Imperial alone we: offer free events, offer discounts for children, students and seniors, solicit businesses to sponsor free tickets to events for community groups, offer discounted "student rush" tickets for day-of-show purchase when possible, fundraise year round to keep our ticket prices down.

The issue that needs the most work, I think, is "no one to go with." We learned that a company in New Zealand has a "third seat" program that encourages couples to use the "third seat" in their car to bring along someone else. Some theatres set aside particular areas for people attending solo, and even have pre-show activities to help them get acquainted. There are lots of variations on the "book club" model too. I wonder what would work best here in Saint John?

This is what happens when you put a few hundred creative Maritimers in a room for a few days. We get excited about all the things we can do to make our organizations, and our communities, even better. Then we get to work. 0030

Rothesay – Beginning the first week after Labour Day Rothesay residents can place recyclables at the end of their driveways on compost collection day. A new service for those receiving garbage collection provided by the Town, the collection of recyclables in this manner is hoped to increase the amount of material diverted from the Crane Mountain landfill site. “Every tonne of paper, plastics and tins that are recycled means that much less material being buried and put to use.” says Councillor Matt Alexander, a leading proponent of recycling for the Fundy Solid Waste Commission.

Councillor Alexander led a committee examining the feasibility of a region-wide curbside system which eventually faltered when there was insufficient support from some municipalities. “Once it became clear that a regional system was not possible, Rothesay wanted to move ahead as quickly as we could to bring this service to our residents”, Councillor Alexander stated. “We

loaded into a truck with a rear compartment split into two sides.

When this material reaches the Crane Mountain municipal recycling facility, it is further sorted into different grades of paper, plastic and metals, baled and sold to a wholesaler for reuse for a vast array of products. This is a much more responsible approach than simply burying the material in the ground taking up valuable landfill space and demanding long-term maintenance.

Rothesay Councillor Dr. Matt Alexander on the first curbside recycling collection day. really think Rothesay residents want this system and it is the responsible, environmentally friendly way to manage waste.”

Materials from each household, sorted at home and placed at the end of the driveway into paper in one bin and plastics and tins in the other, are

Since the rest of the region will continue under the blue depot system that has been in place for 15 years, these installations will continue to be seen around Greater Saint John.

However the depot at the Rothesay Arena will eventually be phased out.

IN THE GARDEN Q.

BURIED TREASURE WITH INTEREST! Considering measly interest that the Banks offer it’s not surprising that we feel that investments are a lost cause.

However, the garden centres are awash with the very things that will increase with no risks and surefire results; these wonderful items will bring visions of better days to come as we plod and plow through the coming winter.

Spring Bulbs! It is never too early to pick up these beauties and the selection available now is huge; the best bet is certainly with the stores that display loose bulbs along with photos and details regarding height and blooming times. Where deer are a problem there is no point in even trying Tulips, however the range of the Daffodil/Narcissus family is so great that they alone would provide all that you could wish for to celebrate Spring. Crocus seem to be low on the list of fine dining for our hoofed invaders and both these families do well in borders and dotted around in lawns, though not perhaps the best choice for those perfectionists who have to have a close cropped lawn from the ‘get go.

All bulbs perform best if the leaves are allowed to stay on the plant for a while after flowering and may look a little untidy. Aside from these there is a huge range of incredibly beautiful and fragrant spring bulbs that will gladden the hearts of even the most dedicated Scrooges.

Although much is to be gained by purchasing now, best results are obtained by waiting until the end of September or mid October to plant, preferably when

the soil is moist and a bulb planter will go in with greater ease; the best tool for this is a spade like device that has a circular metal base that removes a plug of soil that can be dropped back on the bulb after it is planted. Bulbs need to be set at a depth three times the height of the bulb and need a sprinkle of bone meal in the bottom of the hole. For the very best display one needs to dig an area and incorporate compost mixed with manure before planting; the most pleasing results can be obtained by planting in groups leaving a good space between individual bulbs, in time the group will grow in size and even need to be divided up and spread around.

Bulbs can also be ‘Forced’ for blooming indoors while winter is still a reality by planting in pots and giving them a spell in a cold basement for a few weeks, thus fooling them into thinking it is winter, then bringing them into the warm house. In order for this to be successful they will need a very bright window or grow lights since they will tend to become lanky and floppy if enough sunlight is not provided.

Who does my income tax if I file for bankruptcy?

A. Your Trustee does your income tax return for you when you file for bankruptcy.

In the year that you file for bankruptcy your Trustee does 2 separate returns. One from January 1st up to and including the day of bankruptcy (Pre) and another separate return from the day after the bankruptcy is filed until December 31st (Post).

Date of Bankruptcy Jan 1st

Dec 31st Pre

Post

If there is an amount owing to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in the pre-bankruptcy period the debt will be included in your bankruptcy. If there is an amount owing in the post filing period, you will be responsible to pay that amount to CRA. If there is a refund in either the pre or the post return, the refund will be sent to the Trustee and the monies will form part of the bankruptcy for the creditors.

HOME IM

BUILDIN

Whether you’re building your dream home, or remodeling the one you already have, investing in a house is the best thing you’ll ever do. It also happens to be one of the most time consuming, expensive and complicated tasks that you’ll ever undertake. With that it mind, it’s important to set some ground rules, and stick to them.

The most important rule? Get real about your budget. Anyone who’s ever built or remodeled a home will probably tell you that the primary source of conflict through the whole process is budget. Set your number, and then listen. If you have a reputable builder or contractor, trust him or her to tell you what

things cost. If you’re undertaking the project on your own, know what you can afford to spend and shop around for quality products and services at the best price.

Selecting your team - everyone from the builder, lawyer, architect and landscaper – should be done before you ever start the building process.

They’ll be there to look out for your needs from a different vantage point.

Once you decide on a lot, your team can come together to create detailed plans that best suit your individual needs.

Get real about what you need. It’s easy to confuse your wants with your needs, when doing a new build or

NG YOUR DREAMS remodel. Devise a personalized plan that incorporates all of your lifestyle needs. For example, you might want marble flooring, but porcelain tile is best suited to your needs. Or, you might want those all steel windows, but aluminum clad will work just as well for a fraction of the cost.

In case you missed it the first time, get real about your budget. Builders and architects design to a number.

Let your team know what your numbers are, so they can design accordingly. And don’t forget to budget for things like landscaping and furnishings. These are things that can get overlooked until your process is almost complete, yet account for a significant amount of any budget.

Once you’ve completed your project, enjoy it.

IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Spring is traditionally a time for new beginnings, which prompts many people to begin their home improvement projects then and carry on throughout the summer. But, some are better left until fall, when the weather cools and contractors have more time to complete certain

Another important factor is your timeline. Despite what you see on television, your construction or remodelling project isn’t going to be complete in three days. It’s a process, and there will be delays. If you can learn to expect delays and some setbacks along the way, your experience will be a lot more positive.

Communicate with your partner or design team. It’s up to you to stay engaged, and be aware that changes you make to the plan will also alter the bottom line. Each time you make a change, it will affect your price and the schedule. Planning well and carefully is key.

Fertilize the landscape – adding fertilizer to your shrubs, trees and grass in the fall helps to ensure your plants head into the winter months well nourished and helps them survive the colder temperatures. It’s also a good idea to remove weeds and leaves from your garden beds before the first frost. A plant covered by weeds can suffocate, preventing it from coming up next season.

Paint a room – interior projects can be done year round, but why not beat the winter blues with a splash of paint? Painting your walls a brighter colour can break up the dull colours outside, improve seasonal disorders and perk up your mood during the shorter days of winter.

RECOVERY DAY CELEBRATED Sophia Recovery Centre commemorated an important event recently in King’s Square, Saint John.

Councillor Shirley McAlary officially declared this day, September 17 Recovery Day 2015. It was the first of many to be celebrated and publicly addressed the issues of living with addiction. Five women, whose lives have been transformed by Sophia Recovery Centre, gave personal testimonies of their stories. Supporters and general public alike heard that they had found a welcoming safe refuge in the centre of Saint John that challenged them to stop using alcohol and drugs and enter into the 12 step program of recovery. The women who shared represented years of being sober and clean from 30 years to one year. All of them testified the journey was and is made easier with support, education, peer mentors and counselling.

Recovery Day was first celebrated in the cities of Vancouver and Victoria, BC on September 30, 2012 as a public display of the freedom from addiction.

NEWS FROM KINGS WAY CARE CENTRE

Sharing stories of personal journey Since then, the movement has spread throughout Canada, encompassing communities large and small, from East to West. Recovery Centres come

This year, the Kings Way Life Care Alliance has partnered with a local Saint John School to help out families in need. Beginning in October, Kings Way Care Centre and Kennebec Manor will be filling backpacks with healthy foods and snacks for children to take home for the weekend, providing those families with a little bit more nutritional assistance while at home.

We have seen and heard of the many children who go home on Friday and

return to school on Monday with very little food to eat over the weekend.

When we shared this situation with our elders, they said “What can we do to help”? We have now partnered with the PALS program and are working in the North End of the city to start the Weekend Backpack program.

We have also spoken to BICAPI to see if there is a business partner who would like to be involved in this program and will have further discussions with them. Residents of both homes are looking forward to help in the baking and packing of the backpacks.

We follow the Eden Philosophy to eliminate the three plagues of suffering in elders – Loneliness, Helplessness and Boredom. Principle #4 - An Elder-centered community creates opportunity to give as well as receive care. This is the antidote to helplessness.

If you are interested in helping the Kings Way Life Care Alliance give back to our community, please call Carol at 847-1131 ext 2340 or Megan at 847-1131 ext 1116. Donations of non-perishable food items may be brought to Kings Way Care Centre and to Kennebec Manor at any time. 0025

LISTEN IN the songs, the homemade art work. It was a true labour of love. “Think about it… a compilation tape given to Paul Simon inspired Graceland” Gordie Tufts, the owner of Backstreet Records on Germain Street in the city told me in regard to the power of a good mix tape; referring to Paul Simon’s seminal album.

The commercial cassette format of pre-

recorded music was at one time also the most important and highly sought after medium on which we purchased our favorite new music. At one time even eclipsing Vinyl! “In the 80's half of the shop was cassettes and they out sold vinyl.” Gordie reiterates to me the stats, and his firsthand account of it in Backstreet. Well we know “Record Store day” has become a big deal the world over with Vinyl being more popular than ever. It’s also the only recorded medium that music sales are on the rise. All other formats including digital continue to fall. We wrote about it here!

It was only going to be a matter of time until there would be a “Cassette Day”.

For the last few years I have noticed more and more artists releasing their new music on cassette. “Great for indie's (Artist/Bands) because they are cheap and it is a way to include a download as well.” Gordie fills me in why they make sense as new releases. Like vinyl as well as 8-tracks for some people (Yes I know a few) it’s also about it being a collectable format that makes it important. It is part of a culture and a DIY method of making it by yourself. And also with Vinyl all the old is new again. I still buy vinyl (and CD’s) as well as cassettes anywhere I can find them, whether it be thrift stores like Value Village, yard sales, flea markets. Thrifting is huge fun for a collector! I just bought a bunch of pre-loved cassettes for 0.49 each!

“Cassette Day” is October 17 and it’s not just the indie artist doing it. Big guns like Motorhead are releasing their new album “Bad Magic” on cassette as is Greed Day who are re-releasing their Punk-Pop classic “Dookie!”

This year’s Fire Prevention Week will be observed from October 4-10, but those on the front lines of fire safety and prevention education stress the importance of taking a proactive approach to safety and prevention every day – not just one week – of the year.

Roger Collet, Fire Prevention Officer with the Department of Natural Resources and Provincial Forest Fire Centre in Fredericton, says people should always be aware of their surroundings and the potential for fires.

With fire season beginning in April and continuing until the end of October, there are many things home owners can do to decrease the likelihood of fires.

During fire season, Collet urges residents to call the province’s burn line toll free at 1-866-458-8080 for daily updates on conditions in their area. You can also go online and check the fire watch page for details; information is updated daily at 2 p.m., and that conditions can change without warning.

Cities, towns and villages often have their own bylaws that restrict burning. It is your responsibility to find out what those bylaws are. If it doesn’t, your area is governed by the provincial guideline.

Following are some other tips you can

use to help protect your home from fire.

Store gas and other flammable liquids in safe containers that are properly labelled and away from occupied buildings. If you have liquid petroleum on your property, it’s important to keep tanks a safe distance from buildings and the surrounding area clear of vegetation.

Along with cleaning gutters, roof lines, branches and leaves and debris from around buildings, place a non-flammable screen over all chimney and stove pipe openings and remove any tree limbs in close proximity to these openings. Removing lower branches from tree trunks can also prevent fire from spreading as quickly.

Always have fire tools handy such as a ladder, water bucket, rake and shovels. Your garden hose should always be connected to a faucet for quick access, and all roadways leading to your home or property should be at least five metres wide to allow fire fighters easy access in case of fire. Posting your civic address at the entrance to your driveway

is also very important.

The theme of this year’s Fire Prevention Week is Hear The Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm! This is where you can do your part to be prepared should a fire break out inside your home.

In addition to having working smoke alarms on each level of your home, having a working smoke detector near your bedroom area and at each level of a residence is becoming increasingly required by law.

New technology is making this easier for home owners to accomplish.

There are now new types of smoke alarms that can be electronically interconnected wirelessly. If, for example, smoke activates a smoke alarm in the basement of a house, all the home’s smoke alarms will sound simultaneously regardless of how far away they are from the smoke’s source.

If additional smoke alarms are installed voluntarily in each bedroom, you are immediately alerted and gain precious seconds to deal with the situation and safely escape from a house fire.

ASK THE CHEF APPLES, APPLES, APPLES Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your questions. This week we have been talking about apples. It is that time of year again when apples are ready to be picked and here are a few facts about apples.

The apple tree comes from the rose family and were brought to North America by the European colonists.

They were first found in central Asia and have made their way all around the world. Now this took thousands of years but today, 80 million tons of apples are grown each year. Almost half of the apples grown today come from China, with the United States being second with only 6%. With knowing this, we should all buy locally and support our own.

Something to think about.

Now apples are made into thousands of different things, mainly sweet desserts.

Who doesn’t love apple pie, especially one we made ourselves? Apples are one of those items that we grow and grow very well. I remember one of the best things to do growing up was to go picking apples with my family. Always picking out that really red, perfect one to eat while sitting in a tree. Picking out a tree and climbing every inch of it, looking for the best apples, while my mother scoured the ground for the ones that had just fallen. Good memories that I am sure some of you have similar ones as well.

Once we got home, you were sure to have an apple in your school lunch for the next few weeks. There were other great items that we got during apple season, like apple crumble, apple pie, apple pancakes on the weekend and there always seemed to be apple sauce in a bowl in the fridge. These were some of the things that I remember as a kid, but I don’t know if this still happening today?

One item that we used to make is baked apples. You take a large apple and core the centre, trying to get all of the core. Run a knife around the centre of the apple, just enough to cut the skins.

Stuff the core with whatever you like; nuts, raisins, brown sugar, oatmeal and

cinnamon or anything that you think would taste good. Do this to as many apples that will fit in a casserole pan.

Place a small dollop of butter on top and bake at 300 degrees for thirty minutes or until the apples appear soft and cooked.

Allow to sit until warm, not cool. Serve in a bowl with a scoop of ice-cream.

Perfect.

So I hope this article gives you the

idea to go out this fall and pick your own apples and do an adventure with the family which they will always remember.

MUSINGS THE UNMADE BED There are those who make the bed every morning, and there are those who don’t.

Those who don’t consider it a total waste of time and agree with Erma Bombeck that “No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed.” I however fall very firmly into the make the bed category. I dislike the messy look of an unmade bed and cannot bear the thought of getting into one. I like the sheets snugged up and wrinkle free and my pillow fluffed and nothing twisted or askew as I settle in for the night. BUT . . . it seems there is now a valid scientific argument to leave the bed unmade all day.

Ten years ago scientists at England’s Kingston University theorized that leaving the bed unmade would reduce the number of dust mites residing there and set out to test their theory. Dust mites are wee little critters, so wee that it seems that about 1.5 million of them live in an average bed. They munch down on

our discarded skin flakes and thrive in the warm moist environment we create every night as we snooze away. Now, we can’t see these little beasties, so what do we care? But, dust mites are associated with asthma, allergies, eczema and chronic rhinitis (a permanent yearround stuffy nose). Getting rid of the mites, or at least reducing their numbers, can have significant health benefits. And how does one get rid of dust mites . . . by letting the bedding air and completely dry each day. The mites need the moisture in the sheets and mattress; depriving them of it will cause them to dehydrate and die.

Other studies however seem to support the finding that getting up and making your bed every morning contributes to greater productivity and overall happiness. Outer order (the made bed) contributes to inner calm (greater happiness). “If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed,'' U.S. Navy Adm. William H. McCraven (commander of the forces that organized

the raid to kill Osama bin Laden) told the graduates of University of Texas in a commencement speech he gave in the spring of last year.

Who is one to believe?

There is an excellent compromise position. Throw your covers off exuberantly each morning as you arise and toss them down over the end of the bed to air. Ideally, open the windows as well. Leave it that way . . . for an hour. Then, after having showered and dressed and eaten breakfast you can make the bed before you leave for work, content and ready for a productive day and smiling because you have just wiped out thousands of the little beasties in your bedding. 0002
