A short while ago Mikie had a major wipeout on the ice. Now, I have always told myself, when falling... do NOT put out your hand, which is just full of fragile bones. However, while crossing some ice in the driveway my feet went out from under me so fast that there was no time for thinking. The initial impact was... ouch, my tailbone, then I felt a twinge in my hand?? A few hours later, my tailbone seemed not too bad but the hand was swollen and pretty sore. Went in to the ER the next morning and 5 or 6 x-rays later was declared broken. A well wrapped splint was applied and the pain was quickly alleviated. Ten days later, I have a checkup at the hospital, by a plastic surgeon, and he figures that it isn’t broken and go home, take it easy. Well, I was just ecstatic. “Thanks Doc, you did such a great job on the wrist, how about doing something for the face??” What is also broken for the past couple of days, is our walk in the woods.

a winter’s snowfall, we pack down a trail with the snowshoes a couple of times, and then we can usually walk on that path with just boots!! What has been happening recently with the milder temperatures, is that if you place one foot near the edge of the path, you frequently wind up breaking through and sinking right to your knee. You then have to extricate yourself by lifting all of your weight with the other leg. So after breaking through about a dozen times or so on one walk, the next day I opted for the snowshoes, as there were two or three inches of soft crumbly snow on the surface. Soon the difficult became the ridiculous!! Right snowshoe slides to the right and breaks through the crust to sink 8 inches. Off balance, the left foot takes more of the load but starts to slip to the left. Because I still can’t put weight on my right foot, I double hop and skip on the left. Having my right foot free, I swing it to the left to try and gain a foothold on the trail, but over compensate and like a skier glide down the slope of the path coming to a halt in deep snow. The judges award a 6.0 for technical merit but a big fat zero for artistic impression. Despite the humorous efforts that must be taken, we have persisted in finding ways to continue our walk, while minimizing the likelihood of further broken bones. 0001

BesT KIND oF RICe
Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another great question to answer. This week I got a question about rice. What is the best kind and what is the best way to cook it? This is a hard question to answer because there are over 40,000 different varieties of rice. To make it easy we can break this down into four major categories of rice; Indica, Japonica, aromatic and glutinous. Rice is one of the first seeds that humans started to eat. We can’t put an exact date on it, but historians say it is between 8,200–13,500 years old. It is the most consumed starch product and second most produced grain in the world after corn. Enough of the history, here are some ways to cook it and what rices are the best. Around here we do not have a lot of choices when it comes to rice. There is some that should never be used, but are the easiest to make. That’s right, Minute Rice and Uncle Ben’s style rice. These are simple rices that are not naturally
produced and often just dehydrated. You just have to boil in water and serve. The most popular rice is basmati. A rice from India that is long grains and very aromatic if prepared correctly. The secret to good basmati rice is washing your rice. Rice contains a lot of starch and by washing it, you will produce a light fluffy rice. You should wash the rice in cold water until the water stops being so cloudy. The clearer the water, the less starch, which means a better product. Drain off as much water as possible. Add two times the amount of water as you have rice. Cover your pot and bring this to a boil. Turn your pot down to minimum and leave for about 20 minutes. Do not remove the cover to see how it is doing. This will release the steam and you will not end up with a good product. After the 20 minutes, remove from all heat, give the rice a good stir and leave it covered until you are ready to eat. Since Basmati rice is an aromatic rice, you can add to it to bring out the flavours. Often people sweat off diced onions, a bay leaf and two to three cloves in oil. Then add your
washed rice and water with a tablespoon of butter. Follow the same cooking procedure and you will find it has a touch of flavour. The French cook rice in an oven and it’s what we call Pilaf. You do not wash your rice but you cook it in a small amount of oil with some diced onions. Add twice the amount of water, butter, salt and pepper. Wrap your pot tight with foil and place in the oven. This take a little longer than the stove top method but produces a different flavour. I wish I could go on and maybe I can come back to rice another time as it does have such a long history and so many varieties that I could go on and on. I hope you try these new methods and stay away from the man made rice that is out there. 0040

BARBeRsHoPPeR oF THe YeAR
Sea Belles' Chorus recently held a weekend music retreat with Singing Judge, Wendy McCoole in preparation for the upcoming Area 1 (Atlantic) Convention and Contest. The highlight of the final evening was the presentation of the Barbershopper of the Year Award. Each year the chorus members secretly vote on who they feel has given the most of their time and energy to promote the chorus in many different ways. The recipient of this year's Barbershopper of the Year award is Marilyn Hickman, a 29-year member of the chorus and Harmony, Incorporated. The award was presented by Margie Fife for Janet Kidd, last year's recipient of the award, who was unable to attend the celebration. "Winning Barbershopper of the Year was unbelievable for me!" stated Ms. Hickman, who has been Assistant Director for the chorus for the past 15 years. "I was very surprised as there are so many deserving girls of this award. I am truly honoured to have been chosen. It is a wonderful feeling as you are chosen from the membership. To know that you are appreciated in this way is truly awesome," added Hickman.
During this weekend retreat, new Chorus officers were also installed, including Tracey Harkins, President; Debbie Sabean,Vice President; Brenda Smith, Treasurer; Charlene Richard, Secretary and Board members Margie Mazerolle, Hazel Alexander, Heather Devlin, Helen LeForte, Vangie Mofford and Jane Trites.

see WHAT We CAN Do ToGeTHeR
You could say that CNIB volunteers do small things. They listen. They read letters and old postcards. They go for walks and help pick up the milk. They organize photo albums and record collections. They share their stories. They help with little, everyday things. But helping with everyday things isn’t little. It’s extraordinary. CNIB volunteers do small things and are extraordinary. CNIB provides programs and services to
ensure New Brunswickers, who are blind or partially sighted, have the confidence, skills and opportunities to fully participate in life. Our volunteers are there every step of the way. Together we offer a guiding hand, a listening ear, and a return to independence for many people. In honour of National Volunteer Week, which was April 6–12, CNIB would like to thank our dedicated volunteers. Together we’re making a significant difference in the lives of New Brunswickers who are blind or partially sighted.

Is CoCoNUT oIL ReALLY GooD FoR YoU?
The entire field of nutrition is an ever shifting slider on a scale that weighs the collective opinions of millions of educated professionals and researchers. It is for this reason that I always try to have an open mind towards new ideas and criticism. Although, there are certain things that I have enough confidence to say that we know for sure. We know that the further a food is from its natural state, the less healthy it is likely to be. We know that refined sugars and high-fructose corn syrup are poisonous for the human body. We also know that if you can’t pronounce most of the ingredients on the package, then it’s not really food. So when a customer challenges me about something I am confident about, it can turn my world upside down. Recently, a customer was upset that I would recommend coconut oil as a healthy option. She quoted canola oil as a healthy oil, showing a graph about the saturated fat content of different oils that she received
GeT FResH WITH FooD by Dave Wolpin
from a dietician. Naturally, I thought this was not true. I felt inclined to write her a letter explaining what the research shows. However, the research is not conclusive. I talked to Bruce Sweeney and he said, "…if you eat food the way nature intended, you will live the way nature intended!!!" He also pointed me to a couple articles, which paint a beautiful picture of the health benefits of coconut oil. On the other side of the coin, coconut oil has one of the highest levels of saturated fat of any of the commonly consumed oils. For this reason, it has been warned against for those who struggle with heart problems. There are, however, different types of saturated fats; some raise good cholesterol and others raise bad cholesterol. I read about coconut oil from about 15 credible sources and what it boils down to is a balanced scale of pros and cons. While I am 100% confident that canola oil is not healthy, coconut oil has time and a place. Kris Carr, a cancer survivor who wrote Crazy Sexy Diet, wrote a very well expounded article about the subject that seems to be perfectly representative of
all the research I have done. Saying it better than I ever would, she concludes that, "coconut oil is neither a menace nor a miracle food. Coconut should be treated the same as other high-fat plant foods: enjoyed primarily as a whole food. It is loaded with fiber, vitamin E and phytochemicals and has powerful antimicrobial properties. However, it should be viewed like other concentrated oils: a food that provides a lot of calories with few nutrients. When your diet is high in concentrated fats, it can be difficult to meet your needs for other nutrients. Use some coconut oil when preparing special-occasion treats, but don’t rely on it daily. Base your diet on whole plant foods, and when you do use coconut oil, make sure it is organic and virgin." 0039

DIsCoVeRING ITALY
Italy is a popular destination for travellers worldwide, and certainly for Atlantic Canadians - with good reason, for there is much to experience and discover. No matter how many times you visit, you’ll make new discoveries - about the history, the climate, the mystique of “la dolce vita”, and the ubiquitous music. Yes, they really do sing in the streets! Finally, the cuisine, which varies from region to region, each with its own unique features. You can tour charming hill towns via incredible scenic drives, such as along the Amalfi coast, or through the Cinque Terre, with stops to see the art, the vineyards, the wildflowers, and classic gardens. Every vista can enchant and capture visitors, so that once visited, there is a compulsion to return, again and again… be warned, you will be captivated! Where should a first-time visitor choose to go, when there is so much to
Up, Up & Away by Ellen Tucker
see and do? It’s important not to pack too much into an initial visit. You need time to savour the atmosphere and reflect on your experience. You might want a taste of each region, and you can accomplish that with several tour companies. For example, Trafalgar has a tour called “Gladiators, Gondolas and Gold”. If you dream of Tuscany I recommend the tour called“Rome and Tuscan Highlights”. It starts with a one night stay in Rome, and a tour of the city, then moves on to Montecatini in Tuscany for the next six nights. From this base you make daily excursions throughout Tuscany, to Florence, Pisa, Siena, and San Gimignano. A tour like this is more comfortable and satisfying than changing hotels every day or two, because you have more local experiential time. After six days in Tuscany, you return to Rome by coach for a final night, unless you decide to extend your stay. If you’d prefer a longer, more independent
holiday, but wish to arrange the details of hotels, transportation and local tours beforehand, consider Monograms by Globus. For example, you could stay in Venice for three nights, take a high speed train to Florence for three nights, another train to Rome for three nights, and then go by air to Catania in Sicily, to stay for three nights in Giardini Naxos, a popular seaside resort. Local tours are included in each region, but you have lots of free time to satisfy your own interests and curiosity. 0043

or the last few issues of your community magazine and on our facebook page we’ve been promoting our Mother’s Day Contest. It was a chance to tell us
about your Mom, and to tell us a story about what makes her great and special to you. A number of you jumped at the oppurtunity to write to us about your Mothers. Th ere was a common theme of Mothers who are self-sacrifi cing, loving, caring and kind.
Each one exemplifi ed Motherhood, some were funny, some were sorrowful, some were lighthearted and touching. We took the time to read through them all, some of them twice, and we’re genuinely touched by all the stories of caring Mothers. Th ey exemplifi ed why celebrating our Mothers, no matter what age we’ve grown to be, is important. Mothers are our fi rst friend, the person we can always trust, the shoulder we can cry on, and someone who listens constantly
without judgement or ridicule; with an open heart ready to share your sorrow and joy.
Make Mother’s Day as special for your Mom as you are to her. Whether it’s a card, a phone call, a gift , or maybe a nice dinner the two of you can share

Happy Mother’s Day
As children we don’t think of our Mother as our friend, then one day we wake up and realize she was our very � rst friend.
(bring Dad too, he’s important as well). Let your Mom know you care in a way that only her children can. It’ll warm her heart and bring a smile to her face.
For all of the touching entries we received, In the end we could only choose one winner, for the weekend getaway, and that winner was Heather, from Belleisle Creek. Congratulations Heather, we hope you and your mother enjoy your weekend, courtesy of Hampton Inn & Suites and East Side Mario’s. Th ank you to everyone who submitted,

am writing to say that my Mom is the most caring, hardworking woman I know. She is a giver to everyone and never puts herself ahead of others. She has worked at a seniors home for over 40 years. She has taken in other kids and adults
even though she had her own 3 kids to care for. She did it out of the goodness of her heart. That’s just my Mom. She took time o� work to care for us when we were small. When we were school aged she always made sure there was fresh bread and hot cinnamon rolls coming out of the oven when we got o� the bus. She has had some pretty tough obstacles in her life too but always � nds a way to get through it and was always so positive. At age 47 she lost her best friend. Her sister passed away at the age of 45 with cancer and our Dad had a serious car accident and later on had a farm accident and lost a limb. I wish I had her strength to carry on like she does. I think Mom well deserves to have someone else cook her dinner and have a night away to enjoy and maybe relax. She works full time and then comes home to clean for another 3 or 4 hours before hitting her pillow. There’s just so much I could write down on paper about how grateful I am to have a mother that I do. I’m blessed to have her. I hope my Mom has the best Mother’s Day. I love you Mom. Hugs and Kisses from your daughter Heather. XOXO

1. A Day at the SpaGive your Mom a day out the spa, make sure you include a manicure, a pedicure, a facial, and a massage to really treat your Mom to a nice day out. To make it extra-special make it a day trip for the both of you and go with her to the spa - treat yourself too, whether you’re a mom yet or not.
2. FlowersCut fl owers are nice and really liven up a room with their fragrance and beauty. Ask the fl orists what they reccomend when picking out your fl owers if you don’t know what your mom’s favourite is.
Another great option is to buy potted indoor fl owers that will stay
alive and bloom year aft er year, or an outdoor plant which your mom can plant and grow that will remind her of you.
3. Take Her to DinnerTake your mom out to dinner or a nice lunch, let her pick the restaurant, and spend some good quality time with her, stick around for dessert and coff ee, and let your mom know you love her, she never gets tired of feeling loved by her children.
4. Write her a heartfelt letterIt’s never too late to tell your mom how you feel with a nice letter, it may not cost money, but that won’t diminish the warmth it brings her if do it right.
Make it heartfelt and personal, cite specifi c examples that stick out in your mind. Th is actually gets easier to do as you get older; your penmanship gets better (hopefully) and you have more experiences to draw on.
5. Compile a Photo AlbumTaking photos has become commonplace and very easy, but how oft en do any of us actually get photos printed anymore? Take some time and explore your hard drives, look through old boxes of photos, and put together an album for your Mom of your best pictures from over the years. Be sure to include some pictures of yourself, her, family gatherings, and grandchildren.

THe DoWNsIDe oF ICe FIsHING
Every year fisher persons flock the river to fish for Smelts through the ice. It’s fun, festive and there is real camaraderie among the fishers and the people who venture out on the ice to walk around the fishing shacks on the river. After being cooped up in their homes because of the cold, the suddenly expanded horizon and the fresh air gives them a natural high. That’s the great part about ice fishing. However, every year there are some irresponsible fishers who leave shacks and debris including insulation, lumber, tarps, plastic, beer bottles and cans and all manner of garbage behind. Where does it go? Well some gets washed up on the beach, some sinks and the marine life gets to “enjoy” it. Some floats just below the surface and remains a hazard to swimmers, boaters, canoers and kayakers. These hazards are real and if a craft strikes them, it may sink causing property damage, personal injury and even death. Please be aware of these hazards and ice fishers, hopefully, will be more responsible. 2752

Abuse of prescription drugs is a growing concern for police and public health officials across the country. Medications are increasingly getting into the hands of youth or other individuals who are abusing these drugs. There is a way to prevent prescription drug abuse from happening. On May 10 the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police are holding the second
annual National Prescription Drug Drop Off Day. The KRPF are hosting a branch of this event in partnership with Sobeys Pharmacy. Our goal is to get unused and expired prescription medication out of people’s homes by providing a safe and convenient way of disposal. Expired or unused medication cannot just be thrown into the garbage. This causes environmental issues as well as the possibility that the drugs could end up in the wrong hands. Not many people are aware that you can bring unused or expired medication to any pharmacy and have them disposed of safely. The
National Prescription Drug Drop Off Day was implemented to bring awareness of the dangers of prescription drug abuse as well as to provide direction on where people can go to dispose of these medications throughout the year. On May 10 members of the KRPF along with a pharmacist from Sobeys Pharmacy will be on site in the Sobeys parking lot (weather permitting) to collect and dispose of any type of medication that you may have buried in the back of your medicine cabinet. All medication will be accepted including vitamins, prescription medication, cough syrup, or supplements. The medication is recorded and weighed and then disposed of by the pharmacist. Please take the time to clean out any medication you may have and bring it to the Sobeys parking lot on May 10 from 10:00am until 2:00pm. By doing so you will ensure that these medications do not end up in the wrong hands and you end up with more room in your medicine cabinet! Cst. Krystal Daley, Community Relations Officer. 0031

Last week I took a trip uptown to the funky candy shop the Freak Lunchbox to meet up and interview a newly christened Pop Star. The aforementioned rising star is no other than 17 year old Kyle McVea, a grade 12 student at Kennebecasis Valley High School. Kyle is the only East Coast member (the other members are all from the GTA) of the winning group Rebel Coast who were just crowned the winners of the YTV “The Next Star: Supergroup”! I first met and witnessed Kyle’s immense talents when he was a contestant and I was a judge for Saint John Idol a few years ago on the boardwalk. It just goes to show if you work hard and have raw talent anything is possible if you want it bad enough! Here is how our chat went down. Tell me about the whole experience? Kyle – Um, A lot of it didn’t really seem like it was all happening at the time. Most of it happened last summer. It’s
such a surreal feeling to talk about it now. It (winning!) hasn’t really sunk in. Jeff - Being in a boy band/SuperGroup is there any internal competition for popularity? Any clash of ego’s on the show with the other contestants? Kyle – “No, it’s been a pretty mutual experience for Rebel Coast. We are doing it all together is how everyone feels. I’m also pretty close friends with Electric Ave (runner up’s on the show). I talk to them all daily”. Jeff - You guys currently have only two songs/singles; “We are the Brave” and “Don’t Stop Now”. Are there plans for new recordings soon? Do you have a hand in the writing or are you just brought songs to record? Kyle – “Yes we have plans to record more. We are writing as well so we have our own input in the material along with other writers. I am very excited about our future. The Wall Street Journal just did an article on us”! (Read the article here - online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20140413-901398.html).
Kyle credits his family, friends and coaches for all their support saying, “Some friends even came to Toronto for support! It was a real tear fest” he laughs. “I couldn’t have done without them” he continues when referencing how the show’s vocal coach and dance choreographer, Sarah Morrison and Nico Archambault, helped him with his performance. It couldn’t have happened to a more talented and down to earth individual! For everything else on Rebel Coast -rebelcoastmusic.com. 0041

We are living in a “24/7 society.” Some stores are open 24 hours a day and some companies require shifts around the clock. Emergency services, hospitals and special care homes have patients who require 24 hour care. These workplaces have workers who are not living the normal 9-5, Monday to Friday work week. Store employees, emergency and healthcare workers, mineworkers are all living with a schedule that is unnatural for human beings. We are diurnal creatures, not nocturnal like owls and bats. Most of us wake up in the morning at the time we set our alarm clock. We spend our evenings watching TV, reading by artificial light, or on the computer. These devices of modern life have shifted our sleep schedule and made it shorter. If we did not have these devices, what our sleep look like? We would have the sunshine in the morning waking us up at dawn. In the evening, after the workday was done, the sun would go down and our evening

would be lit by a fire for warmth and a lamp. This would result in an earlier wake time, but more importantly a much earlier bedtime. Shift workers are required to function on a schedule opposite to our natural design. They must get sleep during the day when light, noise, and their body’s natural sleep cycle is telling them to be awake. They must be alert, and productive during the time when their body wants to naturally go to sleep and regenerate for the next day. Night shift work often makes for poorer quality sleep and several less hours of sleep than is needed to be healthy and productive. The decrease in sleep can cause sleepiness during their night shift especially at the end of it, increased accidents, errors and injury and disharmony at home. Here are a few tips that can make night shift more worker friendly: Avoid bright light on your way home; wear dark sunglasses or “blue light” blocking glasses that will limit the signal from the sun to your brain that it’s time to “wake up.”; Hunger might wake you, but so can
heartburn! Have a light snack and avoid caffeine and a greasy breakfast; Have a dark bedroom or wear a light blocking sleep mask. Wear earplugs and encourage family members to be considerate while you sleep. Stay in bed - you need 7.5-8 hours of good sleep; Address any suspected sleep disorders; Spend time with your family on your days off to keep your relationships healthy too!

TV WATCHING NeWesT DANGeR?
I don’t know if you have heard of the recent study on the health concerns of television watching. There have been a number of studies and reports and news articles regarding the western world’s sedentary lifestyle and the dangers of our excessive sitting. This latest is from researcher J. Lennert Veerman, of the University of Queensland, Australia, and colleagues in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, who state categorically "Every single hour of TV viewed may shorten life by as much as 22 minutes". this doesn’t sound like much, just 22 minutes, until you start to do the math. Here goes . . . Further online research seems pretty consistent that the average Canadian adult watches 30 hours of television per week.
Over a 52 week period that would be 1560 hours per year, which is 65 days (those are 24 hour days folks). That would be better than 2 months per year. If each hour watched is indeed a 22 minute reduction in your lifespan, that is 572 hours per year, 23.8 days . . . over three weeks per year. Still doesn’t seem that scarely. Three weeks, phtt . . . so what. But wait. If you consider the longer term, say just to age 75, those numbers get more serious. From age 20 to age 75, that is 85,800 hours (9.79 YEARS) of watching tv. Using that same 22/60 ratio, that adult television watcher will live 3.59 years less than the non TV watcher. And likely be less healthy during those latter years to boot. Let’s get real though. I don’t actually expect millions of adults to just turn off the television tomorrow (although the advertising dollars that could drive to print publications like ours would be
wonderful!). A more realistic suggestion would be to get up and move at least a little rather than spend the whole time sitting. Get rid of the remote and get up to change the channel. Take a walk around the living room during every commercial break. Drag out that old stationary bike and put in a few miles (okay kilometers) while watching the news. According to Dr Oz, walking just ten extra minutes per day can gain you 2 more years of life. That might not totally negate the TV watching, but it all helps. “If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.” ~ John Lennon. 0002
