Ravings By Mike Hickey
"AN APPLE A DAY"
If an apple a day really does keep the doctor away, then my
good friend the Corporate Jet won't be seeing a veterinarian
for a dog's age!! We have a number of apple trees on our
property which are starting to shed apples on a consistent
basis. It appears that the Jet is quite a fan of this fallen
produce and makes regular trips to a nearby tree and picks up
one or two and even three of these apples. He then fetches
them back to where I am, spits them all out and then selects
one. After picking up one in his mouth, he will appear to eat it
but then spits it back out again totally unharmed. After
several minutes of this, he finally gets down to the munching
and chewing and fairly rapid demolition of the small morsel.
While the Jet has been fueling up his immune system, I have
been working on my wood supply. I have about half of this
winter's wood already stacked away after drying outside all
summer and should get the rest in shortly. This is early for me
to be doing this, but I have realized that with four or more
trailer loads of wood sitting out in the woods, that I have
limited space to bring out any more.
As we were walking in the woods the other day, I told the
missus that it was my goal before I depart this world to leave
behind 20 or more cords of wood cut and split for her. My
dream you see is that I will be sitting in heaven watching her
work, since I know she is too Scottish to let the wood go to
waste. After nearly 30 years of cutting, splitting and hauling
wood, I would love to pass on this legacy to her. Now the
problem with all dreams is in the implementation. While I am
pretty sure that I can handle the wood part if I last another
year or two, this whole getting into heaven issue might be a
problem. If bribing and bullying doesn't work and I just can't
get in, I may have to see if I can work out a deal with the other
fellow and see if I can watch from below.
I don't know if the fact that I have already been an angel
would help me access the pearly gates. A few years ago I
donned wings and a tutu to help raise funds for the local food
basket as Mikie the Community Angel. Unfortunately to any
number of observers I probably looked more like a fallen
angel and I guess that would put me back underground!!!!
It might be better to follow my friend's lead and by eating six
or more apples a day, just postpone this whole idea. 800

TERRY’S LETTER REQUESTING SUPPORT
FOR HIS MARATHON OF HOPE
Terry's Letter
The night before my amputation, my former basketball coach brought me a magazine with an article on
an amputee who ran in the New York Marathon. It was then I decided to meet this new challenge head on
and not only overcome my disability, but conquer it in such a way that I could never look back and say it
disabled me.
But I soon realized that that would only be half my quest, for as I went through the 16 months of the
physically and emotionally draining ordeal of chemotherapy, I was rudely awakened by the feelings that
surrounded and coursed through the cancer clinic. There were faces with the brave smiles, and the ones
who had given up smiling. There were feelings of hopeful denial, and the feelings of despair. My quest
would not be a selfish one. I could not leave knowing these faces and feelings would still exist, even
though I would be set free from mine. Somewhere the hurting must stop... and I was determined to take
myself to the limit for this cause.
From the beginning the going was extremely difficult, and I was facing chronic ailments foreign to
runners with two legs in addition to the common physical strains felt by all dedicated athletes.
But these problems are now behind me, as I have either out-persisted or learned to deal with them. I feel
strong not only physically, but more important, emotionally. Soon I will be adding one full mile a week,
and coupled with weight training I have been doing, by next April I will be ready to achieve something
that for me was once only a distant dream reserved for the world of miracles – to run across Canada to
raise money for the fight against cancer.
The running I can do, even if I have to crawl every last mile.
We need your help. The people in cancer clinics all over the world need people who believe in miracles.
I am not a dreamer, and I am not saying that this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to
cancer. But I believe in miracles. I have to.

WHAT IS CONTRABAND TOBACCO?
Many of you may wonder what contraband tobacco is. Truth
be told, most of us may have been in the presence of
contraband tobacco or know of people who buy or sell the
product. Under the Excise Act, 2001, a label or tear strip Walkers
must appear on packages of cigarettes and pouches of
tobacco indicating that the manufacturer has paid the

Musings
By Debbie Hickey
SPACE
Mike and I were on the Kennebecasis recently and looking at
NO TAX
the beautiful new homes got me wondering. That can be a
dangerous thing, since I will then need to satisfy my curiosity.
It used to be the encyclopedia or the dictionary that I relied
on to answer all those niggling questions; now it's usually
Google. At any rate, what I was curious about was house sizes.
DRIVE AWAY What I found was that according to the CMHC, the average
size of a Canadian house in 1945 was just over 800 square
feet; by 1975, it was 1075 square feet. A further source stated
PRICES that in 2003 it was 1800 square feet. As family size shrinks,
our houses grow. So then I wondered if this was a Canadian
phenomenon only or more widespread. Well, according to the
WWW.NICECARS.CA National Association of Home Builders, the average home

size in the United States was 2330 square feet in 2004, up
from 1400 square feet in 1970, but the average size of a new
2086 OCEAN WESTWAY home that was completed in 2009 fell to 2480 square feet
from 2520 square feet in 2008. Meanwhile, in Europe the
WEST SAINT JOHN 672-1460 BBC reports the average new home in Ireland is 88m^2 (947
square feet), England a little smaller than Ireland and
