RAVINGS
By Mike Hickey
I am surprised and pleased that with the minimal snow fall and generally freezing temperatures, getting back out to the woods has been a breeze. Although, I will never live long enough to finish the project, I have started pruning back the significant over-growth that has been taking place. Ten or twenty foot spruce and fir will try and grow two feet away from a towering sixty foot pine and although they can enjoy a few years of life, they are doomed as they will never get enough sunlight to grow much further. So they sit there and compete with the pine for moisture and nutrients only to end up as a dead twenty foot stick that has no commercial or practical use other than to make working in the woods virtually impossible until you do get rid of them. Ive even got the missus helping out with this project. On the days that she is able to join The Jet and I on our regular walk in the woods, we stop at various spots along the trail and start cleaning up the dead debris that has accumulated over the years. She actually seems to get great delight in grabbing an old three inch tree and kicking or pushing it too the ground and then dragging and piling it along the roadside. So why would anyone tackle what is clearly a very long term project when your personal long term is relatively short (old that is)?? Well, because it is darn good exercise and because it is the right thing to do. Even though there are no obvious successors to continue this project after our demise, taking care of things is just the right thing to do. Who knows, maybe one of the grand-grand daughters might become a forester and love using axes and chainsaws. The fact is we can only control the present (somewhat) and hope that what we value will somehow be carried on by others. Like raising children, you do the very best job that you can and hope like heck that things will turn out for the best. 800

Hundreds of dollars worth of pantry items were donated to Sussex community charities by those who attended Christmas at the College (now Kingswood University) on Sunday, December 4th. At both the afternoon and evening performances, donation tables were overloaded by the generosity of over 1,400 people who came to hear the Christmas concert. These donations will provide all the groceries that we need for up to two months, said Melissa Mowbray, Director of Community and Family Services with the Salvation Army. In addition to providing counseling, job seeking assistance, and financial planning, the Sussex branch serves up to 100 family units each month through its food program. Donations of baby food, diapers, and other items were given to the Sussex Pregnancy Care Centre, an organization that provides free and confidential services to anyone having concerns about an unplanned pregnancy. This is great way of showing love, support, and hope to the Mums, Dads, and babies at our Centre, said Director Tanya McCrae. We are grateful for the investment that our community continues to show the young women, men, and families that come through our doors every day. Christmas at the College is our gift to the community, said David Klob, Director of the Music Ministry Program at Kingswood University. We dont charge admission for the event, but everyone is encouraged to bring non-perishables for local charities. Their generosity is amazing. 324

Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initiative created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually on January 27 to raise awareness of the importance of reading and other literacy-related activities as a family. Taking time every day to read with children is crucial to a childs development. Even just 15 minutes a day can improve a childs literacy skills.

is a proud supporter of

Family Literacy Day


Reading for just 15 minutes per day is important for child development as well as a great family activity.

When people improve their literacy skills, it has great impact on their lives. Research shows that adults with higher levels in literacy are healthier, less likely to live in poverty, and less apt to be involved in criminal activities. They also have better employment opportunities. Being able to read and write gives people a boost in their self-confidence and greatly improves the quality of their lives.

Invest time everyday for reading. Join a library or local book club. Valley Concrete Inc.

The Kings East Liberal Association wishes each and everyone a happy and prosperous New Year. Our Executive is very excited about the positive direction that our party is taking as a result of the recent renewal meetings in Fredericton. Kings East has an energetic agenda that reflects a blend of old and new ideas and we look forward to hearing your suggestions as you work with us as we move forward and elect a new leader in October 2012. Get involved in your community and make a difference in Kings East and indeed, all of New Brunswick. We must put people first! Some of the very contentious issues that are in front of us today include: Seniors - nursing homes, hospitals, taxes. Fracking - we have to take a serious look to make sure it is done safely for the environment and how much will we actually realize from perceived royalties. Amalgamation - are those of us living in rural areas prepared to give up our way of life. Education - is the reduction of school districts really going to save money to be spent on our students. Crown Lands - who actually will be the beneficiary. Do any of these items affect you? We are looking forward to you getting involved as you share your thoughts and ideas. For more information call Elaine Daley at 512-1517, President, Kings East Liberal Association.

MUSINGS
By Debbie Hickey
gamer . . . not
One of my younger co-workers expressed a little surprise at our recent purchase of an Xbox 360 Kinect game system. Guess I didnt seem the gamer type. Likely because in large part, Im not. But exercise using a game system is SO much more fun than standing around doing jumping jacks or deep knee bends. With the Xbox I can leap, duck, stretch and bend while gaining points white water rafting or playing rallyball (similar to handball). I am impressed at the realism, particularly with the white water rafting one. We have not yet purchased any additional games beyond those that came bundled with the system, as I prefer to do a little research first. This is an exercise tool for me, so I am not looking for any shoot em up/beat em up kinda games. Still there are a couple, such as Fruit Ninja and Junk Fu, that sound both energetic and fun. There was an interesting article recently on a study of elderly adults and exercise that indicated there are mental/cognitive benefits to exercising in a virtual world. The seniors who were cybercycling (i.e. had their stationary bicycles equipped with a virtual reality screen that had them cycling through various outdoor scenes or running virtual races) not only lowered their risk of mental decline but actually improved in areas such as decision-making and multi-tasking. Plus they had more fun! This time last year Ossekeag Publishing commenced our walking challenge. I cannot speak for any of the other members of the Ossekeag team, but once the 13 week challenge ended I just kept right on going. I was curious how many steps and how far that would be for the past year so I did a little calculating. In the past 52 weeks I have walked a grand total of 5,701,918 steps, which if the rule of thumb that 10,000 steps = 5 miles is correct, is about 2850 miles. If I were walking across Canada that would put me just about to the B.C. border. I havent reduced my walking, but am endeavouring to add some additional exercise to my day and the Xbox is part of that goal. But I wont be posting any of the action photos to my Facebook page! 801
