Week beginning

Monday, SEPT 14, 2009

Submission deadline Friday 5 p.m.

Why It’s Not So Different Now. We’re living through the worst recession since the Great Depression. Most of us have felt the effects of this either personally or through family members. Everyone’s financial reality has been stepped back a bit and many expectations have been narrowed or postponed to some extent. Now, a recovery, albeit shaky, is beginning to slowly gain traction. In order to make this happen Canada has taken on a very considerable amount of additional debt and will be running a deficit for several years to come. Since we’ve suffered anxiety and loss from this experience, I wonder how very different our thinking is from what it was just a couple of years ago? Have we changed our attitude about debt? We seem to have become more debt averse in the short term at least; nothing like a little pain to get our attention. Most of us would love to have the luxury of debt-free living if just to enjoy some temporary peace of mind. But, the use of debt is ingrained in our economy and I doubt that we have actually committed to a new reality where we do the unthinkable … live within our means. I suspect that the mind set of immediate gratification has not truly been beaten out of us yet. The pain just didn’t last long enough and the prospect of a recovery is coming too soon for us to have learned our lesson. For the most part we’re hoping to get through this mess with as little personal damage as possible and, better yet, get back to our good old lives as soon as possible. That life style included a lot of consumption and the use of leverage, debt or credit.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. – Jules Renard

Debt isn’t a bad plan if you’re buying a moderately priced home secured by a longterm, low rate mortgage and have started by putting down a substantial amount of money. I wonder how many young couples are actually able to do this now. I am also somewhat skeptical that the economy would be able to tolerate such financially responsible behavior on a large scale and I don’t think it’s part of Canada’s long-term plan. Our economy is built on the premise that ordinary people will spend constantly and considerably. From the government’s point of view it’s better that we continue to take on more debt for cars, homes and big ticket items but do so at lower rates of interest. However, personal debt is still debt and at any interest rate, even low rates, it comes at the sacrifice of other personal choices in our lives. Low interest rates not only mean that debt is cheap but that very little can be earned on low risk investments like bank deposits and bonds. Cash isn’t an attractive investment. The result is that money is drawn back again to higher risk or is just simply spent. However, if we want to be free and financially secure we must decide right now not to make the same choices the same way we did in the past. Only our personal values will enable us to be independent.

1 can black beans, drained & rinsed 3 1/2 cups shredded, cooked roast chicken, skin removed 6 oz. Grated Monterey Jack cheese 1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeno chilies, chopped Salt 4 (10 in.) tortillas

Preparation: Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment. Place beans in a large bowl and use a potato masher or fork to mash them slightly. Add chicken, cheese and jalapenos and stir to combine. Season with salt. Place one tortilla on a work surface and spread a quarter of the mixture over half of the tortilla. Fold other half over to form a half-moon, pressing firmly. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture and tortillas. Warm a ridged grill pan or a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook 1 quesadilla at a time, turning carefully once, until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden, 2—4 minutes per side. Transfer grilled quesadilla to prepared baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. When all quesadillas are grilled, cut each into 4 wedges and serve immediately.

Did you know…. Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University proposed that there are several types of intelligence: naturalist, logical, mathematical, musical, interpersonal, spatial or linguistic (many theories include eight or even nine types). The type of intelligence differs in everyone and is largely a natural phenomenon. Naturalists can easily find the difference between natural things like clouds, animals, plants, etc. Whereas mathematically intelligent people are quick at calculations, propositions and hypotheses. Musically intelligent persons are able to discern rhythm, tone or pitch and can identify sounds which a normal human being might easily miss. Those with spatial intelligence have a unique quality of thinking in pictures. On the other hand linguistically intelligent ones use words for imaginative activities.

SEPTEMBER DATES FOR PHYSICIAN CLINICS IN EASTEND

COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS

An historic part of Eastend, Jack’s Cafe opened in 1916 in the hotel and has been in the current, familiar site at 326 Red Coat Dr. since 1920. Today, Gus and Angie Kanakis spend many hours each week keeping the food coming fresh and hot from the kitchen to the tables. As a chef Gus is faithful to his own techniques and standards. He cuts all his meat and fish himself, as well as making all the sauces and dressings from scratch. Fish comes in fresh frozen only when the best quality is available. Angie’s family has long been involved in managing restaurants and she keeps the orders moving smoothly. Besides the café and restaurant traffic, Gus prepares on average of 25 pizzas each day. Summer days and tourist traffic make for a hectic schedule in the kitchen with Gus and Angie working constantly to meet demand. The long hours take their toll as does the challenge of keeping staff for the fall and winter season. However, their concern is to satisfy their customers. A big part of Greek culture involves time spent around dining . Gus and Angie include this enjoyment of friends as a part of the congenial atmosphere that Jack’s offers. This brings people together in a small community and appeals to many that travel through. Family gatherings experience good food and comfortable dining at Jack’s.

New purses are arriving weekly! Traveling Across the Edge Two young German carpenters are traveling across Canada and are currently in Eastend. Nils Unruh and Markus Lorenzen are members of the 800 year old rechtschaffene fremde Zimmerer/und Schieferdeckergesellen zu Deutschland, the largest and most highly respected carpenters’ guild in Germany. You’ll see them around town dressed in their traditional guild clothing of corduroy jackets, vests and flared trousers. They are both Journeymen and are here as part of their choice of work service which requires that at the end of their training they travel professionally for at least 3 years + one day in order to meet other carpenters and learn from them. Nils is from Kisdorf, Germany, where his family farm is located. Markus is from Struckum, Germany, where his family are heavy duty equipment mechanics and electricians. Both Nils and Markus have been apprenticed to the guild since they were 17 and 16 respectively. They both enjoy the beauty of our area and the welcome feeling in Eastend. Charlie’s is their favourite coffee spot. Since their specialty is wood structures, they are very interested in the old barns and farm buildings and their restoration.
