HEALTHCARE

So this morning “Th e Jet” had his annual checkup. As expected, he was perfect, despite the vet noting a bit of weight gain. But, as she explained “he is a big boy” and no dietary restrictions have been ordered. I think I will, however, cut him back a bit since he is just now entering apple season. Now, you wouldn’t think that a dog would have ever heard of the saying “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”. But “Th e Jet” eats apples as if he never wanted to see the vet again, but that just isn’t true. Th e only time that “Th e Jet” ever sees a leash is when he is going to the vet, but this morning when I pulled out the leash that he hadn’t seen in a year , he actually got excited. He loves going to the vet. Between some doggie treats and being treated like a rock star, he is in doggie heaven. So I ask all you pet owners this question. Does your visit with your doctor even come close to being as smooth, as easy and as enjoyable as your pet’s visit to the vet. And so, I ask once again, “why is it that pets can, by and large get faster smoother health care than people”?? Th e fi rst obvious reason is that people care is socialized and free, while pet care

is private sector and costs money. Now, before anyone gets all wild, I am well aware that the the US healthcare system is still largely private sector and is by far the most expensive in the world and only delivers mediocre results compared to the best in the world. But, I still believe that there must be ways to either integrate the private sector into our healthcare system or generate more business-like practices. I realize that some people have a distrust for the private sector in delivering certain essential services such as healthcare or drinking water, but please realize, while your heart surgeon may not be private sector, virtually every single piece of equipment that is used will be a product of the private sector. Your surgeon may be great but I would bet that if your heart machine was to stop working midway through a transplant procedure then the surgeon is unlikely to be successful. Quality and effi ciency in virtually anything can be produced by the private sector given the right incentives. Just something to think about. 0001

CAFFEINE AND SLEEP

As I was standing in line at the award winning Tim Horton’s this morning in Sussex, I saw many familiar faces. We queue up every morning for what many call the “nectar of the gods”- coff ee. We enjoy the heat of the drink, the aroma, even the comradery of having a cup of Joe and chatting with friends. But the real draw of coff ee, and the reason we are all at this coff ee shop so early is for the caff eine jolt that we are eagerly anticipating. Th e discovery of coff ee is attributed to a 13th century goatherder in the highlands of Ethiopia who noticed that when his goats ate these particular berries, the goats became very spirited and would not go to sleep. Th e monks at the nearby monastery began to make a drink from the berries and it kept them awake for many hours of evening prayer. By the 15th century the coff ee trees were being cultivated in the Arab

countries and were becoming a valuable trade commodity. Coff ee’s use spread to Europe and it was not long before most cultures were trading and using coff ee as a major part of their economy and diet. Th e most expensive coff ee in the world is produced in Indonesia. A cat like creature called Civet searches in the woods for the very ripest berries on the forest fl oor. It eats the berries but cannot digest to seeds so they come out the other end of the Civet whole. Th ese seeds are sift ed out of the cat’s poop, rinsed and dried. You can pick up a pound of this luxury item for $635/lb, or $80/cup (by appointment only, cream and sugar not included). I Th ink I’ll pass. It was of course the caff eine in the coff ee berries that kept the goats and the monks in Ethiopia awake. Th e average North American consumes about 200 mg of caff eine a day and it comes from many sources including coff ee, tea, energy drinks, chocolate and even some

medications. So how much caff eine is in your morning drink? Well, a small coff ee has about 100 mg of caff eine. A small tea has 50 mg. Your decaf coff ee still has 6-15 mg in it. So how about that extra-large black that I drank this morning? 240 mg of caff eine. Yikes! It appears that morning coff ee does not aff ect your sleep at night, but coff ee taken in the aft ernoon does. Caff eine can stay in your system up to 11 hours aft er ingestion, so your aft ernoon coff ee pick me up may be aff ecting your quality of sleep or causing insomnia. So enjoy your morning coff ee, but aft er lunch switch to something a little less jitter inducing like water. You’ll sleep much better for it! 0046

IN THE GARDEN by Betty Kennett

Betty Kennett,Resident Green Thumb

FALL FROSTS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER -

BE PREPARED!

With the benefi cial rains that we have enjoyed throughout the gardening season, the bounty of vegetables has been impressive; if we are to get the greatest reward for all the toil that has been put into growing them we need to be harvesting and storing before Mother Nature wreaks havoc! Large green tomatoes can be taken in before frost; by placing them on newspaper lined plastic bread trays and covering them with another layer of paper, they will slowly ripen, aff ording a lengthy and continuous supply of ripe fruit. Tomato plants can also be dug up just prior to frost, hung by their roots in a cool cellar; they will produce ripe fruit until Christmas. When harvesting potatoes care must be taken to deal with those that have green shoulders... a result of not being hilled up properly... these have the potential

of causing Spina Bifi da from the toxins produced and should NEVER be eaten by expectant mothers. Most root vegetables store well in a cold room, preferably tucked into wood shavings, onions can be carefully dried away from strong sunlight and braided into attractive strings, great decoration for the kitchen and handy for snapping off for the stir fry etc. Th is is a great time to collect seed from favourite plants, these should be hung from their stems inside a brown paper bag in a cool, airy, dry locality when the seed fall out of their casings and are totally dried they should be labelled and stored in paper envelopes ready for swapping and planting next spring. Dahlias, Gladioli and other such bulbs and tubers can be left to experience the fi rst ‘killing’ frost but should then be dug up and slowly dried out, at that point excess foliage needs to be removed and they too can be stored in a dry cool location in peat moss or wood shavings; all ready for the early spring planting which is sure to be a reality next year!

By now most ponds have produced far more growth than is good for them, ideally a pond should have at least one third of its surface uncluttered by vegetation, all pond weed should be removed, it will turn up next spring with great eagerness and most of the plants in the ponds will benefi t from a bit of thinning out. All of this activity will provide ample space for frogs and toads to become as amorous and productive as possible, perhaps a suitable selection of music as you enjoy the fi nal BBQ’s of the season will aid them in their endeavours and we will all reap the benefi ts next year of an army of their progeny scoffi ng the mosquitoes and their kin; sadly we can no longer depend on the wee brown bat for their services! Blessings, Betty. 0038

RCL BRANCH #69 NEWS

Monday, September 8 will be the fi rst general meeting aft er a 2-month break. We should all make an eff ort to attend; this is truly where we fi nd out what is going on in the branch. Two colour party events have taken place; the fi rst on August 8 was a concert to honor the WWI vets and the second, on September 1, was with the Labor Day parade. We are always on the lookout for volunteers to increase the numbers for the color guard. If you feel that you’re up to the task, please contact Comrade Henry D’Eon. A new monument is being looked at for the front of the building, to honor all veterans who served or are serving their country in time of War and Peace. I am sure that it will be discussed at the next General meeting. A Foot Care Clinic is going too off ered to the members of the branch. $35 per visit. For further information, please contact Comrade Larry Lynch. Th e upgrade, that is going on in the upper lounge, is 90% completed. A discussion was carried out at the Executive meeting regarding the

smoking at entrances and drinking in the parking lot. It was decided to erect no smoking signs at the doors and on the ramp. We have some uniforms and pictures that we have no room for. Th e possibility of either donating of loaning them to the War Museum in Gagetown, where they will be on display and looked aft er, is being looked into. Planning is underway for this year’s Poppy Campaign. Th e stores are going to be approached about allowing us to have tables. I want to thank you all, for the eff ort you make every year. If you want to see your Legion at work, be sure to come out at the next General Meeting. We will be giving Carleton Kirk a sizeable donation to assist them in their work in caring for our veterans there. Hope to see you at the next General meeting. If you’re not there then you’re supporting a move that you may not believe in, because you did not vote against it. Comrade LJ Comeau Cd. 3078

SURVIVAL OF THE HARDEST

Dave WolpinKredl’s Corner Market

With heart disease as one of our leading killers, it is an obvious and justifi able impeller of many people’s health kicks. However, in reality, if your diet is poor enough to develop heart disease, you have undoubtedly already endured a decade of other health problems you may not have considered to be related. Many of us do not appreciate the interconnectedness of our body functions. Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of heart disease once it is developed, but in its early stages it causes a host of other issues throughout our body. Atherosclerosis is far from simple but in as few words as possible, it is the hardening of the arteries resulting from a buildup of fatty plaque and eventually leads to the infl ammation of the arteries. Th e danger is that while Atherosclerosis aff ects the entire artery tree. Eventually, it is too late and the plaque ruptures, causing a thrombus (blood clot) and you have a heart attack or if it happens in your brain, a stroke. Chronic lower back pain is extremely common in our population. Dr. Michael Gregor argues that “atherosclerosis can obstruct the arteries that feed the spine and this restriction in blood fl ow can cause lower back pain. [Th is is because] the disks in our lower back are the largest avascular tissue in the body, meaning that they have no blood vessels, so the nutrition has to diff use in from the edges, so they are particularly vulnerable to nutrient deprivation.” According to Gregor, this starts in our teens and in his lecture, From Table to Able, he references studies that show lumbar disc degradation as early as age eleven in those that eat the standard american diet. Our modern western medical system looks to pills to solve our health problems because our society has collectively perceived the adoption of a healthy diet and lifestyle to be too diffi cult to achieve. With the popularity of viagara, apparently, we don’t want to eat healthy, even to achieve an erection.

What is interesting is that a male’s ability to obtain an erection depends on the body’s ability to circulate blood. Impotence is a symptom of atherosclerosis. It all stems from the same disease, the clogging of our body’s circulation system. And since abdominal obesity aka beer/pot belly has now been linked to high levels of estrogen in our diet, it has never been so manly to sit down for a big greasy meal. A pot bellied man who is impotent is way too normal. If this rubs you the wrong way, step back and consider that this is completely within your power to change. People do it every day and there is no shame in renewing your enthusiasm for life, healthy functional life.Impotence is a serious issue we need to stop sweeping under the bed. 0039

POINT OF VIEW by Diane McMillan

BACK TO SCHOOL BLISS

September means many things – the promise of cooler weather, a collage of beautiful colours, warmer clothing and, of course, back to school. If you're a parent, you're probably rejoicing right about now. Th e boredom that has affl icted many a student this summer is about to end, only to be replaced by hectic schedules, homework and a never-ending lists of school supplies and clothing to buy. It also means coming up with new and inventive ways to pack a lunch that your kids will actually eat. Aside from the Christmas-like costs and long line-ups associated with back to school shopping, making lunches is probably my least favorite task associated with back to school. It starts out pretty good. I stock up on all of the essentials my teen “has” to have for her lunch, only to discover a week or two later that she no longer likes it. Really? Oh, and giving her money to eat in the cafeteria comes with its own set of challenges.

Apparently, cafeteria food is gross, the line-ups are too long, and there's no place to sit when you fi nally get your food (teen non-problem #1,271). As the mother of a 14-year-old daughter, I've never had to drag her to the mall to shop. She goes willingly, and with a long list of wants to boot. She could (and does) spend countless hours looking for that perfect new outfi t, or that latest footwear trend. I don't remember shopping being that complicated, when I was growing up. As long as you owned a pair of Levi's, neon anything and enough hairspray to make that big hair even bigger, you were happy – and I was! Now, there's more pressure put on kids (and their parents) to wear name brand everything. Th at's what I love about private and/or independent schools like Valley Christian Academy and Rothesay Netherwood. Everyone wears a school uniform, and everyone looks the same. It gives students the ability to focus on what's really important – getting a quality education.

Th roughout my daughter's elementary school years, teachers purchased the school supplies and we paid a fee when school resumed. Boy, do I miss those days! Now, there's dozens of choices for everything from binders and pencil pouches to markers and backpacks. Th is year, I've delayed the inevitable so don't be surprised if you see this chick in a store on Labour Day weekend looking as dazed as some men do on Christmas Eve. As we send our students back to the classroom, remember to slow down and enjoy the scenery, watch for school buses carrying our precious cargo, and thank a teacher – they've earned it! I'd love to hear from you. My e-mail is [email protected]. 0032

CHERRY BROOK ZOO

As you know Tina, the African Lion died from old age in July. She was 23 years old and we all miss her. Th e zoo is very quiet without the marvellous lion roars! Th e arrival of new lions is planned for Spring. Currently staff and volunteers are updating the lion enclosure. A recent note from a volunteer: “ even though we know there are no lions at the enclosure right now. When working on cleaning fences and painting it is very creepy. You keep thinking the lion is still around. Gives you shivers!” If persons or companies wish to fi nancially sponsor the new lions please contact Lynda Collrin at the zoo. Th e old Yak, Star, died at age 23 in July. Th e animal planning committee is looking at bringing in diff erent animals species to replace the Yaks. Th e two new foxes are settling in just fi ne. Th ey are three months old now and their sleeping position is rolled up with each other. So cute! September is Zoo Volunteer Recruitment month. Volunteers are age 16 to seniors.

GET YOUR KIDS EXCITED ABOUT

RETURNING TO SCHOOL

(NC) – One way to ease children out of summer fun and into the idea of returning to school is to take them shopping for the things they like.

Most kids already have an idea about what they consider trendy and what fits their personality, so involving them in the process can help create enthusiasm for the upcoming school year. They will be happy to make their own choices and to express their creativity while feeling proud and confident about their new outfits and gear. Of course, your judgment is required to ensure comfort and durability.

But when everyone prefers to be outdoors in the sunshine, shopping is only fun if we can save both money and time. One-stop shops are the answer, says the enthusiastic management at leading retailer, Target, as they point out their broad assortment of national brands, at lower prices. For parents

ASK THE CHEF by Colin Si� on

Colin SiftonOwner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

PRE-HEATING

Colin Sift on here, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering, with another answer to your question: When should pans be preheated before cooking and how can I tell if they’re hot enough? It really depends on what you are cooking but for the most part, all pans should be preheated as well as ovens. Putting cold food into a cold pan and letting them heat up together tends to make your product sweat and will not give you the desired outcome. When frying meat, chicken or fi sh you will need a very hot pan. By cooking in a preheated pan with a small amount of oil, you will seal your product, trapping in all the juices and fl avours which gives you a proper product. If you add any of these to a cold pan, you will see moisture beginning to appear in your pan. Th is has come from your meat and it has now made it less moist as well as more tough: two things you

never want out of the main ingredient of your meal. Th ere is a really easy way to tell if your pan is hot enough. We call it the smoke point. Th is is when the oil in the pan just begins to smoke. Th is is the point where the oil begins to break down and will not get any hotter. All oils have a diff erent smoke point. Canola oil has a smoke point of 200 degrees C, where extra light olive oil is about 242 degrees C and is better for you. Th e oil right now that has the highest smoke point is avocado oil at 271 degrees C. You should never cook in butter, even though everyone does. Th e smoke point of butter is 177 degrees C but the bigger problem is that butter has milk solids as well as oil and these milk solids burn before your food is ready and some studies has shown that it may cause cancer. If you like cooking with butter, may I suggest microwaving the butter fi rst to separate the oil from the milk solids and then use the oil to cook with.

Your oven should also be preheated for the same reasons as the pans. If you start with a cold product in a cold oven not only are you going to lose moisture and tenderness, but it will take longer for your oven to come to temperature. If you are following a timed recipe, this will no longer be accurate. I know a lot of people do not take the time to preheat as it takes time to coordinate the next step in your preparation, but try it and I promise you will see a diff erence in the end product, more compliments on your meal and a healthier meal for your family. 0040

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty

Jeff LibertyColumnist, @Jlibertyartists

THE TAPER

Th e art and hobby known as taping has been around for decades with early recordings by folk and blues music archivist. It was popularized in the late 60's as fans of the Grateful Dead. I have always been interested in taping (and Live Recordings) and a musical friend of mine Colin Waldschutz has been doing it for awhile. Jeff - How did you fi rst get into taping? Colin - I am a long time listener of live recordings, mainly from open taping bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish. I started recording shows locally that no one else was taping. I wanted to have a souvenir or record of the local live shows from both local and touring bands. Jeff - What artists actually verbalize publically that they don't mind if folks tape their shows? Colin - Th ere are many artists who allow taping, and encourage it. Some larger acts like Phish set aside special tickets and a

reserved portion of the venue (usually behind the soundboard) for tapers to set up and record their shows. Many other acts such as moe., Blues Traveler, Galactic (all coming to Harvest this year) allow and encourage taping. Th e realization is that allowing decent gear to record their shows produces better results than the multitude of incomplete handheld iphone and camera recordings fl oating around. Th e idea that live recording is “bootlegging” is old fashioned. Many venues stick with their generic “no recording devices” approach which is too bad, because they are only preventing people who could make a really good recording. Jeff - Very good point! What is a somewhat ideal environment to tape in? Colin - I record with mics and a mic stand. Anywhere you can get the mics up and out of the crowd to avoid the chatter of the crowd is essential. 10 feet or more is usually good, and then somewhere relatively centred from behind the soundboard to about halfway to the stage. Th at will give you the most reliable results. Th e ultimate

ideal location is when you can set up in the sweet spot in the room/venue and the crowd is quiet and respectable. Jeff - What are your top three favorite live recordings that you have heard? Colin - Th ree favourites are tough, so I will go with Phish 12/31/1999 all night show from Big Cypress Florida (Neumann U89 source). 8 hours of amazing music. Another would be the Grateful Dead from 5/7/77, one of their best ever, and the third would be another 1977 show – Pink Floyd from Oakland Coliseum 5/7/77. Th at is just today’s choices, it will likely be diff erent tomorrow! Jeff - Where can folks check out your recordings? Colin - https://www.f a c e b o o k . c o m /MaritimeTapers. Th ere is also a wonderful community for sharing live music called the Live Music Archive. Happy Taping :) 0041

MILFORD PARK BALLFIELD REOPENING

Th e Milford Park Committee is in the process of making improvements to our ballfi eld, and renaming it aft er the late Donnie Dwyer, a Milford resident and police offi cer, who was instrumental in introducing family protection and youth services to the SJ Police Force. He was heavily involved with the youth from our community, having coached a number of local ballplayers on this very fi eld. Donnie was highly respected for his eff orts. We are proposing that a soft ball game be played on the renovated fi eld on Saturday, September 13 at 1:30pm (rain date: Sunday, September 14). Th e game would be a matchup between the members of the Police Union and the Firefi ghters Union. Other events for the day include: 12:00noon - Walk ‘n’ Talk with Dave Goss in Lou Murphy Park; 12:30-1:30pm - visit from SJ Sea Dogs Fleaburn; 1:00pm - offi cial opening/ribbon cutting; 3:00pm - BBQ ; 4:00pm – event closing. Note - please bring your own lawn chair(s).

Renovations for the ballfi eld have been made possible by contributions from Emera New Brunswick, Canaport LNG, and the City of Saint John. A free BBQ will be provided by the Investors Group. A goodwill collection will be taken up, with the proceeds going to support PRO Kids. On the day of the event, the Milford Community Centre will be open from 12:00noon-4:00pm for anyone who

TO BE A KID AGAIN

We recently spent a few days in PEI with our daughter and 8 year old granddaughter. It is SO much more convenient to get there with the bridge. No more sitting in line at the ferry terminal for hours and hours in the hot sun, trying to keep two antsy kids entertained in the days before mobile electronic toys. Now it could even be a day-trip. Th e kid had a blast! Of course the visit entailed multiple visits to the two Cavendish theme parks, lots of eating and swimming daily . . . how could she not? She loves the water, loves mussels and several straight days of Grumpy time just puts the icing on the cake. Soon enough she will no doubt consider herself too old for family vacations, so we enjoy it while we can. Th is year she even enticed her mother to go on the ferris wheel with

her, and someday she will realize what a sacrifi ce that was. Th e things we do for our kids! But they both LOVE the roller coaster and I can recognize that scream anywhere! We followed up vacation with (what else) school shopping. Again, the kid had a ball choosing her new “stuff ”. We have had to stash it at my house to keep it all together as she would have it out of the bookbag to admire several times every day if we did not. She can’t wait for school to start. I too was always eager to get back to school. Summer’s lazy days eventually lose their appeal and I would fi nd myself more than ready to get back into learning mode . . . and to see the friends I had not seen since June of course. I fi nd it sad when I hear of young children who dread going to school. Learning should be exciting, an

adventure, a chance to open new doors with new ideas and new perspectives. Instead, for many, it is only a drudge, or worse, a torture. How do we manage to so quickly extinguish the child’s natural enthusiasm for learning? Is it because as adults we ourselves have forgotten? “Th e important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.”~John Lubbock. 0002
