There are some things that you just don’t want anybody to ever know!!

As you may recall, the family woodlot is loaded with fir trees of all sizes and ages - many thousands more than should exist in a restored Acadian type forest. You may also recall from about 6 years ago, that we wandered the woodlot for hours seeking out a Christmas tree. Alas, after much searching we were totally defeated. Even 30 footers were cut down to examine the tops closer .. but no Christmas tree .. just FIR!!

Why, we are so passionate about reducing the number of fir trees that Debbie and I regularly on our walks just rip out young fir seedlings as we walk along, leaving the red spruce and maples to enjoy the space they were hogging.

So imagine this . . . late this past winter, as we walked past a quarter acre plot that held a bunch of grey birch, but growing underneath were a bunch of 1 to maybe 4 foot tall trees. For years now, we have felt the pain of buying a Christmas tree, when acres and acres of the woodlot

were just full of fir. After having a close look at this plot of trees and a bit of soul searching, we came to a joint conclusion.

These young trees looked a bit like fir, but in fact with some work, they were really future Christmas trees!!

So . . . a few months ago I cut out the overstory of grey birch, leaving a just few red maple, 20 foot tall or so, to grow large.

Then we did a first thinning of the f.. , er Christmas trees. Soon we will need to do our first attempt at pruning and shaping these young trees. It will be several years yet before they are transformed into Christmas trees, but eventually . . .

There is a popular saying that “when the world hands you lemons .. just make lemonade”. In our world we got handed fir and now we are making Christmas trees. 0002 Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

IN tHe GArDeN IRIS SEASON IS UPON US “My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece” ..... Claude Monet.

At this time of year, when the glorious Japanese Iris/Ensata are blooming, I really can understand Monet’s statement. Of all the flowers that I have been fortunate enough to grow, these win the prize. They follow on the heels of the chain of Iris: the early dwarfs, followed by the flamboyant German bearded and the Siberians and, when you think that it just can’t get any better, the beauty of the Japanese/ Ensatas and their cousins. There are many other types, too many to mention here... so many blessings to count! But now a few tips that will ensure that the glory will be there next year, not just in our own gardens, but dotted in the back yards of friends and neighbours.

One of the amazing features of these beauties is their ability to multiply at an astonishing rate, and because of this they need constant division and relocation.

With the German Bearded, both dwarf and tall, it is best, once the clump had become too large with rhizomes growing on top of each other, to dig the whole clump up and separate individual pieces. The leaf portions should be reduced to about six inches, all weeds removed and any damaged bits cut off with sharp secateurs. They will not suffer from being exposed to the air, in fact it will enable any remaining earwigs to vacate the premises. The ground in which they will be planted needs to have some good soil, compost and

bone meal mixed into it. The root system is such that it grows from both sides of the rhizome, which should be perched on top of a of small mound.

The roots must then be spread out on either side of it and covered with more of the earth mixture. Care needs to be taken to leave the top of the rhizome exposed to the sun.

Most Siberians and Japanese develop massive clumps that can only be divided by a sturdy saw or by a very stalwart muscular member of the masculine persuasion, ( if, like me, your muscles leave something to be desired, get some home baking ready and tempt a neighbour)! These clumps can be sliced up rather like a pie and planted in a hole that has plenty of the mixture mentioned above in it.

Needless to say, watering is essential until nature provides sufficiently. If possible the replanting should occur in a different place from the one that the Iris was in. This will confuse any Iris borers and ear wigs that were using the clump for their retirement home!

I can guarantee, that within a few years you will have more Iris than you can use and giving the spares away is one of the greatest joys of gardening.

Blessings. 0045

Ask a Licensed Insolvency Trustee Q. If I go bankrupt, will I lose my house?

A. Most people who go bankrupt do not lose their house.

If there is a mortgage on your house, the payments are up to date, and remain up to date the mortgage company cannot seize your home. The same law applies with your car loan.

If there is any equity in the house, you will also have to make arrangements with the Trustee. Equity is the difference between the value of the house and the amount owing on the mortgage. If there is equity, then you will have to pay the equity to the Trustee if you want to keep your house. This is because the equity is an asset available for your unsecured creditors. In most cases, the person going bankrupt arranges a monthly payment to the Trustee to pay off the amount of equity.

You will likely have to get a valuation done on your house so that the Trustee can advise you.

You should discuss your house situation, including the type of mortgage, with the Trustee in advance of filing for bankruptcy to help alleviate Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP unnecessary Vice- President, stress and to get Licensed Insolvency Trustee the proper advice.

LOCAL GIRL GUIDES VISIT ALBERTA Lauren Lockhart and Grace James from Sussex and Quispamsis, New Brunswick respectively have travelled to Sylvan Lake, Alberta to experience Guiding Mosaic 2016. Lauren and Grace have both just finished their first year of Pathfinders.

Lauren has been a member of Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada for six years and Grace has been a member of the organization for eight years. While this is the first large camping experience for Grace, Lauren has travelled to British Colombia for the provincial camp called Spirit of Adventure Rendezvous (SOAR) in 2014.

Guiding Mosaic offers many all day out trips to different spots in Alberta and the girls patrol decided to go to the West Edmonton Mall and both Lauren and Grace said it is the best thing they have done at camp so far. Both girls are also looking forward to different events taking place here at Guiding Mosaic. Grace is looking forward to Dragon Boating in Sylvan Lake while Lauren is looking forward to climbing into the bubble balls for Spherical Experimentation.

“BIG KIRK SUNDAY” AT STEWARTON In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, Stewarton was a happening community with many families, a Post office, Grist and carding mill, a store, school and of course a church. During the summer the St. James Presbyterian Church in Stewarton would host an annual 3 day sacrament event with ministers coming from Saint John and families arriving in horse and buggy from the remotest parts of the parish for communion and to enjoy the sermons.

This church still stands today and this year will celebrate 150 years, being built

VBS at Sussex Baptist Church Kindergarten to Grade 5 August 1-5 2016 9:00-Noon

For more information, call 433-2100 or visit www.sussexbaptist.com

“You get to meet lots of new friends and people from all over the world” said Lauren when asked what her favourite thing about being in Guiding is, while Grace responded “getting to go camping with all of my friends”.

In giving advice to other Girl Guides or future Girl Guides, Lauren said “It is worth all the fundraising to come to camp and meet new people, Grace added “you get to meet new people and experience new cultures from the different people within Guiding”.

Guiding Mosaic 2016 is the 13th Girl Guides of Canada national camp to be held since 1927. Guiding Mosaic 2016 welcomed over 2750 Canadian Pathfinders, Rangers, their Guiders, and core crew members. In addition, that number includes welcoming 100+ International girls and Guiders. Camp Life offers a wonderful setting for the development of life-long friendships.

Challenges are transformed into opportunities for skills development, personal growth and leadership development. 4175

HAVING FUN & AVOIDING ABUSE IN ONLINE DATING There are a number of things you can do to protect yourself from dating site and hookup app predators.

Trust your instincts. Are you feeling uncomfortable? If the situation feels “off,” it probably is. Remember, under no circumstances are you obligated to continue a date or an online interaction.

Meet in public. Your first meetings should take place in a public space such as a coffee shop. Arrange to arrive and leave on your own; this way you are

less likely to get “trapped” in someone else’s car for a premature make-out session or driven to a location you’d rather not visit. Tell a close friend who you are meeting, when, where, and for how long.

Never respond to a stranger’s request for money or nude pictures that show your face. Pictures and videos can easily be posted online for all to see.

Pay your own way. Avoid the possibility that your date may feel that you have an obligation to them.

No matter what, if someone you’ve met online victimizes you in any way, you need to report the abuse. In addition to the police, report them to the dating website to prevent them from abusing others.

If you have been abused by a partner you met online or just by someone you know, you can call the Domestic Violence Outreach Coordinator at 433-6579. You may also call to make a personal safety plan as a preventative measure. 0047

WeLL reSteD Beat the Heat-in Bed Summertime is here at last and although the longer days and upcoming vacations are welcome, those “hot summer nights” can make sleep a difficult task. Here are some of my top tips to make sure you beat the heat and get the rest that you need to enjoy this great NB weather!

Put the PJ's away. Dress nice and light.

Just a cotton t-shirt or underwear are enough. Silky or polyester fabrics don't breath and will make you a sweaty mess when trying to sleep.

Use a summer duvet. Although the winter months require some insulation, you'll want to let that heat out in the summer. Many people like the weight of a duvet, but not the heat, so choose a different topper in the summer.

Keep hydrated. This is a great tip in any situation. Your body needs water in order to cool itself off, so drink lots through the day and keep a glass of ice water by the bed to lower your core temperature in a jiffy!

Open windows,use air conditioning and a fan. When the sun goes down, the air cools off. Open that window and let the breeze in. Help it along with a fan, and the white noise might be an added bonus to cut the noise from outside. The best options are adding an air conditioner or a heat pump to keep your room nice and cool.

Move to the basement. Heat rises and so lower floors are much cooler. Sleeping on a lower floor in the summer may give you much better quality sleep.

Close curtains during the day. This is a trick my mum swears by and her house is always nice and cool. Having dark curtains or blinds will block those rays that heat up the air and the furniture in your house that will release heat at night.

If not through the whole house, at least use this trick in the bedroom.

Use an ice pack. Wrap a towel around an ice pack or frozen bottle of water and use it like a hot water bottle, but in reverse!

Create your own cooling spray. If things just get too hot to handle, keep a spray bottle of ice cold water next to your bed for a refreshing spritz during the night.

Take a lukewarm shower before bed.

Although the colder water might feel nice, your body will attempt to warm you up afterwards by increasing your temperature, totally defeating the purpose. Use lukewarm water to lower your temperature just slightly without the risk of your body kicking into overdrive afterwards.

Try these tips to get a better sleep so that you are well rested to enjoy these beautiful summer days! 0038

We thought we would celebrate the New Brunswick Day by sharing some cool facts about our little piece of the world that you may not have been aware of. Let’s start right at the beginning when New Brunswick was created in 1784 after it was partitioned off from Nova Scotia. According to The Macmillan book of Canadian place names, the “name was chosen as a compliment to King George III (17601820) who was descended from the House of Brunswick.” Other proposals for naming the new province were New Ireland and Pittsylvania, for William Pitt, then British prime minister.

the first balloon ascension in Canada from Barrack Square in Saint John. you could get a ticket for a ride for four shillings.

Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, located in Oromocto, is the largest military training area in the British Commonwealth.

Saint John was the home of Canada’s first Y.M.C.A. established in 1870

by Mrs. Agnes A. Blizzard in a house on Germain Street.

Some interesting facts, tales and firsts from New Brunswick:

The first Miss Canada, Winnifred Blair, was from Saint John, New Brunswick.

She was crowned on February 10, 1923.

Saint John has the steepest main street in Canada. King Street has an 8 per cent grade. In other words, over the distance of two city blocks, the street rises 80 feet… ( roughly the height of an eight-storey building). No wonder we go uptown in Saint John, not downtown.

In 1840 Professor L.A. Laurcat started

The inventor of the ice cream cone was from Sussex Corner. The story goes there was a baker by the name of Walter Donelly who made a bad batch of dough. His shop just happened to be next door to an ice cream parlour.

He was at a loss with what to do with his hard, crispy pastry until inspiration struck.

He founded Red Rose Tea in 1890. In 1929, Red Rose introduced tea bags for the first time.

Saint John held the first Boy Scout Apple Day in the world, organized by Eli Boyaner on January 30, 1931.

tALeS FrOm tHe cAmerA BAG GREAT SUMMER FOR GREAT PICS Get on your knees, and many secrets of better photography will be revealed to you. With knees pads or a kneeling pad and the tripod shortened you will be well on your way to going from snapshots to great images. Let’s pretend that we are on a beach and the waves are coming gently and the shoreline is creating a lovely “S” pattern as it winds it’s way to a classic lighthouse; of course this happens during great evening light which lights up the whole scene in a golden glow. As a snapshooter you may just walk up to the lighthouse and take a snap. But this summer you will get to your knees and by lowering your perspective you already have differentiated yourself from the masses. With your wide angle mounted or chosen on your zoom, incorporate an interesting bit of foreground interesting rocks, shells, or driftwood.

With the interesting foreground in your composition now use that meandering shoreline and let it lead your eyes to the

lighthouse. Remember, to focus onethird into your frame and use an aperture of f11 to f16 so that much will be in focus.

Keeping your horizon level, use the rule of thirds and place the light house on one of those points - you just created a spectacular image.

How, lets recap: you changed your perspective, you came while the light was perfect, you incorporated some foreground interest in your image.

Using some basic composition skills, you used leading lines and applied the rules of thirds and of course you had an interesting subject. However you have done so much more than just that. You kept you composition simple leaving out anything that did not add to your image.

By lowering your lens and adding some foreground interest you have added a sense of scale and depth. You created a flow, an image that gives your viewer so much eye candy as they stroll through your image looking at that driftwood

and the waves rolling on the curvaceous shoreline leading to the lighthouse bathed in a the golden glow of evening.

But, of course, while you are down there, try playing with shutter speeds. Using a faster shutter speed will freeze the waves, while slower shutter speeds will give you that silking smooth look. Be patient, training your photographic eye is not an overnight process; it takes years to refine your craft. Great compositions will utilize many of the points touched on above.

Bring your camera with you and practice daily.

ASK tHe cHeF BARBECUE TIME! Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. It’s summertime and that means barbecue time and what is better then a nice big burger.

Many places have claimed that they were the first to create the hamburger. One of the first written reports of a hamburger is a story of the hamburger steak in 1884 in the Boston Journal. In 1896 the Chicago Daily wrote a story on the hamburger steak sandwich. Otto Kuase invented a sandwich of a beef patty topped with an egg in Hamberg Germany and said this is where the name came from. The most famous burger in the world in the Big Mac, but McDonald’s wasn’t created until 1940.

Burgers come in many shapes and sizes. There are round ones and square ones. There are 3, 4, and 5 ounce burgers and little siders. They are usually made of ground beef, but nowadays you can finds burgers made of turkey, chicken

and vegetables. For me I like a traditional burger, about 6 ounces of medium ground beef bound together with egg whites, chopped garlic and salt and pepper. By making a basic burger you can then dress it up however you want. I think this is the most exciting thing about hamburgers today. Like Otto Kuase, who topped his burger with an egg, people have started topping burgers with almost anything.

We have gone from adding bacon and cheddar cheese to now adding smoked maple ham with blue cheese or salsa with crispy onions and jack cheese.

A burger is made up of three very specific ingredients and how these combinations come together determines the greatness of your burger. First you need to have a great patty. Without a great patty, the heart of your burger can not be perfect.

Next is the bun. Many different buns can create a perfect burger. If the bun is too dry, it falls apart. If it is too hard, it makes everything squeeze out. Some like

a flavoured bun and others like the thin buns. It all comes down to preference.

The last is condiments and this is where you can get the most creative with your burgers. You can use different kinds of ketchup, mustard and relish like corn relish or hot mustard or get creative with sweet chilli sauce, guacamole and even peanut butter. The only way to know what is a great burger to you is to try something new every time you have burgers.

I hope this gives you some ideas for the barbecue this summer and I hope you come up with your own combination for your perfect burger. 0040

LISteN IN PLAY ME A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SONG

Some years back, I believe it was March 2006, there was a cool multi-venue folk festival that happened in Saint John.

For the sake of this story its name will remain nameless due to it being a bit of a mess. I was still pretty fresh to Saint John having moved here in 2002 with my wife, a New Brunswick gal Cynthia, and kids from Ottawa. I had been hosting my own intimate shows at Sessions Café (RIP) in the valley and made a point to volunteer at a few festivals including this “Nameless” folk festival. Volunteering enabled me to get to know the city, the people and to witness some amazing song writing talent

live! A few of the highlights for me was seeing Alt-Country artist Robbie Fulks, the master song craftsmen Marshall Crenshaw and Valdy just to name a few.

At one time in my car, driving the various artists to their appointed performances, I had Folk Royalty Stephen Fearing, Marshall Crenshaw (in the front seat!) and the always upbeat, youthful folk troubadour we have come to love known as Valdy.

If you ever get a chance to see any of these artists and other gems in your general geography make a point of getting out there. Especially if it’s in a nice intimate listening setting! It always makes for a special evening. Speaking of this, the 70 year old Juno Award winning folk artist Valdy is coming back to our area Wednesday, July 27th, 8 pm at The BMO Studio, 112 Princess Street in the city. If you haven’t experienced this venue yet, trust me it’s a wonderful place to see a show. Here is the FB event with all the details https://www.facebook.com/ events/497028667158592/ For you folks reading in our a paper edition drop them a line about tickets via 652-7582. To find out more about Valdy’s impressive career thus far go too www.valdy.com Don’t delay; gather some friends and BUY your tickets now.

One last thing I want to mention is the show I will be hosting at my home, Liberty House, on Sept 11th with none other than Jim Bryson. I have hosted a few

shows like this including Matt Andersen that included a live CD recorded at my home (in the kitchen!) entitled “Live at Liberty House” and a show with PEI’s Dennis Ellsworth. This particular event is going to be really special because we are also hoping to raise money for our Relay For Life Dream team initiative. (Check out our site for it here -http://convio. cancer.ca/site/TR?px=6579224&fr_ id=21632&pg=personal).

Cynfully Delicious will have food at the event as well for purchase! If you don’t know Jim Bryson, you’re in for a treat! Not only is he one of this country’s best songwriters with a “fresh off the presses” new release, but he has performed and recorded with Kathleen Edwards, The Weakerthans, Jim Cuddy (Blue Rodeo), Oh Susanna and the Tragically Hip! Message me for more info about the show here jlibertyartists@aol. com For Jim check out www.jimbryson. org. This event supports the artist and this worthwhile cause only!

mUSINGS We had a visit from a personable young man last night to review our current service with their company. The real reason for the visit became clear, as he suggested we might be interested in an upgrade at little or no cost. His approach and delivery were excellent and got him an invite to come in and discuss it.

Any of you who are regular readers will perhaps recall that Mike and I have not had television service for the past 7 years.

Oh we have a TV, which we purchased a few years ago to utilize X-Box in the winter months, but no cable, no satellite, not even Netflix. We did over the course of those years download and watch a couple of movies, but in truth, with the possible exception of election coverage, television has really not been missed.

BUT . . .

Seems that by upgrading to a newer faster modem/internet service (which will hopefully resolve dropped WiFi issues) we can get a TV package plus free long-distance calling for a mere $10 more per month (tax in) than we

To TV or Not to TV

have currently been paying. Although we do not miss TV, we use the internet a lot, so the improvement for us would normally be a no brainer. The issue was whether we wanted to bring the demon television back into our home and risk getting sucked back into wasted hours of viewing.

When the kids were young I rarely watched television before 9 pm, the news was on at 10, and by 10:30 most nights I was likely fast asleep in my bed (assuming I had managed to stay awake that long!). As they got older and my parenting requirements lessened, the television came on earlier and earlier and my viewing hours started to climb.

Getting rid of television when we moved to our new home in 2009 saved me. I now walk much more and my leisure hours are spent with a book (mostly electronic ones). I do not want to go back to spending hours parked in front of the television.

Hopefully this won’t be like the exsmoker taking just one drag, but we are

getting a basic television service as part of our internet upgrade. The television is not in our main living space where it would be constantly tempting me, so that will help. Plus after 7 years without, I feel significantly removed from the old lifestyle it represents. Still, not watching has been easy when it required a deliberate choice to download something before watching. It actually feels a little scary, but I figure we can always simply disconnect it if it becomes an issue.
