50TH RIVER GLADE INTERNATIONAL
RIVER GLADE, NEW BRUNSWICK,
CANADA
(Home of the “River Glade International”
the Oldest Stock Car Race in Canada)
The 50th running of the River Glade International, August 22nd and 23rd at the Petty
International Raceway, River Glade.
The River Glade International race was
started in 1965 to celebrate the anniversary
of River Glade Speedway that began racing
on August 22nd, 1964. The race has continued in August over the years.
Drivers came from Ontario, Quebec, Nova
Scotia, Prince Edward Island and the USA
to participate in this special event. This was
the race to win! The Features were longer
and the purse was bigger. Tow money was
paid to the travelling drivers. On one occasion the fans numbered over 10,000. People
took their holidays so they could attend this
race.
When River Glade Speedway no longer
ran stock car races the event was moved
to the Petty International Raceway, as the
fans didn’t want to loose their River Glade
International.
Just to mention a few of the headlines:Cormier Wins International 1973 – Veteran
Adelard Cormier stormed to his second
International victory last Saturday, turning
back a strong challenge from 1971 winner

Happy New Brunswick Day!
Here we are into the last month before its back to school again. The summer has sure gone
fast.
Have a great time at all your reunions.
The Nationals had another great turn out of shinny vehicles again this year.
SPOT, so great that the organization has decided to go ahead with plans for a new location
and building. Many thanks for your great helping hand.
I have noticed so many really nice gardens as I drive around; I guess that there has been
enough water for them this summer.
This years WCAF is behind us, thanks to all the volunteers that put in so many hours in
preparation and during the fair. Congratulations to all the category winners. Best wishes to
this years Salisbury Community Days.
The 50th running of the River Glade International stock car race is being held at the Petty

August
First of all, don’t sweat it.
You can train plants to expect water only
when the soil around their roots dries 3 to
5 cm below the surface of the soil. This
varies from plant to plant, of course, but
the point is that if you water your garden a
little bit at a time their roots stay up near the
surface of the soil waiting for you to stand
at the end of your hose each day. This is
‘water therapy’ for you but bad training for
your plants. This is equally true for perennials, annuals, veggies, and even the shrubs
and trees on your property. Not to mention
your lawn.
Plants that are watered infrequently, and
deeply, will send down roots in search of
the moisture as temperatures rise, warm
winds blow, and the timing between summer rainfall stretches out from days into
weeks.
About Your Lawn
Don’t water your lawn at all in a drought
situation. Save yourself the time, expense,
and the resources that are needed to cut
your lawn when it is growing actively. It
will become brown and dormant but it will
not die. Dormant is the equivalent of sleeping, dead is dead.
Come mid August your lawn will ‘wake
up’ as days get shorter, evening temperatures fall, and morning dew heavies up.
Mid August is a great time of year to
sow new grass seed in an effort to thicken
your lawn and to spread that important late

gardening seasons under my belt, I am here

That’s ELGIN DAY Sunday, August 17th!
Come and meet friends and neighbours at the park from 2 to 5 p.m. Bring your
sunscreen and lawn chairs. Enjoy games (ever tried bocce?) and a BARBECUE. Enjoy the
heritage flower garden, playground, gazebo and musical entertainment.
Meander over to the W.I. Hall to take in the Women’s Institute “Then and Now”

of Elgin since 1911.

ELGIN DAY
At the July 17th meeting of the Elgin Women’s Institute, the eleven members present
responded to roll call by answering the question: What world event requires justice? Responses ranged from the situations in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip to the lack of rights -- and
violence against women -- in many regions of the world.
Discussion at this meeting included plans for the Elgin Day Open House on Sunday, August 17th. Moranda, Karen and Zaheera are working on details for the community
celebration which will take place at the Eco Park and the W.I. Hall.
In related business, members decided to meet early on Monday, July 21st to sand
and paint the interior trim of the new windows. Thanks to Gail Crandall for arranging paint
and supplies. An enthusiastic crew was recruited.
Zaheera Denath continues to lead an hour of yoga at the hall, every Tuesday
evening from 7 to 8 p.m. All are welcome. There’s no charge, but donations are appreciated
and go towards hall renos.
The Youth program is also underway, and Moranda vanGeest gave a spirited account of recent sessions: who knew we have young Master Chef wannabes in Elgin? Kids
and leaders are having fun outdoors and in the hall kitchen.
Bonny Price, co-convenor with Moranda van Geest for Citizenship and Immigration, presented an illuminating talk on procedures and laws involved when a Canadian citizen moves to the United States to live and work. Bonny had done her homework -- much
good information!
Finally, as the July hostess, Karen Davidson offered a trio of desserts for everyone
to sample.
Our next meeting will be Thursday, August 21st at 7 p.m. at the W.I. Hall.
For more information or to become a member, phone 756-2531.

Finally, remember the miracle of mulch. A
6 to 8 centimeter layer of finely ground up
cedar or pine bark insulates the soil from
the drying effects of the sun and wind,
reducing the need for water by up to 70%. I
think it is one of the best money, and time
saving, investments that you can make in
your garden.
The Elgin Eco Association
On August 17 The Elgin Eco Association will once again celebrate Elgin Day.
Together with the help of the Elgin Women's Institute who will be holding their open house.
It will all start at 2 O'clock in the Elgin Eco Park. We hope to entertain people with music ,
games and food.
You will be able to enjoy the incredible heritage garden that our community members have
created and is currently in full bloom.Or just come and catch up with an old friend or make
new friends. There will be something for everybody.

summer application of slow release nitrogen
fertilizer to your lawn.
Trees
Apply water to the root zone of your
young and mature trees by placing a hose
at the base of the tree with just a trickle of
water coming out at the end of it. Leave it
there for 3 or 4 hours. The water needs to
seep deeply into the root zone for it to be of
any good. Applying water to a tree through
a lawn sprinkler does not do the job [which
is why they are called ‘lawn’ sprinklers].
If you have trees on your property that
were planted within the last three years,
watering is of critical importance this time
of year. That said, a mature 20 meter high
maple tree transpires over 500 liters of water on a hot day. That is why it is important
to get water on its roots this time of year.
Other strategies.
A rain barrel is my #1 choice for watering
containers as rain water becomes charged
with oxygen while it falls from the sky and
it is always warm this time of year. A treat
for tender plants like tomatoes and annual
flowering plants.

August
Located about 20 minutes outside of Moncton
New Brunswick, sits the quaint country village
of Salisbury. The Village of Salisbury is nestled
along the picturesque Petitcodiac River in
southeast New Brunswick. The Village itself is
approximately 14 sq. km, with a population of
approximately 2208.
In the heart of the village, you will find branch
number 31 of the Royal Canadian Legion. It
is here that I interview Theresa Goguen, the
president and service officer of the branch. It is
summertime in Salisbury at the writing of this
article, and I have been invited to attend the last
of the “Merry Makers” meetings until the fall.
The Legion in Salisbury takes pride in its community, providing many services to the various
population demographics of Salisbury. It opens
its doors wide not just to members, but also
to the general public. In this way, branch 31
promotes awareness of the helpful nature of the
Legion itself in our community.
“Merry Makers” is a community service
designed for providing companionship and a
hot meal for Salisbury’s senior citizens. This
arrangement takes place every second Monday
from September until June. Seniors travel far and
wide, beyond our town limits, for this special
gathering created and maintained by branch 31.
(See attached photos)
“The Friday Night Legion Suppers” have also
gained fame throughout Salisbury and the surrounding areas, including greater Moncton!
These suppers do not exclude anyone. People
of all ages, (members and non-members alike)
are welcome to attend, as the Legion opens its
doors and its arms to all who will come. A full
course ‘down home’ meal (from rolls to tea &
dessert) is made and served by a host of about
seven ongoing dedicated volunteers every Friday
between 4:30 and 5:30 PM from September until
May! Attending Friday night legion suppers is a
time weekly custom in Salisbury where all walks
from the village gather and sit side by side…
from the street sweepers to the mayor. The small
town setting is reminiscent of “Mayberry”, with
the familiarity of days gone by!
The community is welcome on many nights of
the week to also use the Legion for Dart Leagues
and other games. It is an open place for people
to come and relax in a safe environment yearround.
It is partially through these above efforts that
branch 31 sustains itself financially.
Branch 31 is also engaged in actively promoting
the poppy campaign, by which they then serve
their community further. It is the 2014 graduation season and eight bursaries are being granted
to students at three different local high schools.
June 16, 2014
By: The executive member and media representative
for branch 31.(anonymous name)
Salisbury Legion is community proud! –
Page 6.
To JMA Armstrong high school in Salisbury,
five $1,000.00 bursaries were awarded, to
Moncton’s Harrison Trimble, one $1,000.00
bursary has been gifted and at Riverview High,
two lucky students will receive $500.00 each
from the Salisbury Legion. Research was done
to carefully discern where there was the most
need amongst the students. The “Dr. John Scott
Memorial Bursaries” will go far at aiding those
who need them the most!
From the seniors to the youth, branch 31 is active
in sponsoring the 580 Air cadets. You will often
see these young people serving and aiding our
veterans during Remembrance Day commemorations. What a testimony to unity and honor being
passed down through the generations in our
community!
During the Canada Day festivities in Salisbury,
NB, branch 31 will have the honor guard and
will raise the Canadian flag for the whole community, as we are united in singing the national
anthem and “God save the Queen”.
“Salisbury community days” are a weeklong
event held annually in the month of August.
Branch 31 will lead, as always, the parade down
Main Street, with a created float, and with its
members proudly carrying the Canadian flag.
This is a time-honored tradition, which has been
commemorated every year.
Branch 31 supports its veterans! We honor those
who have served amongst us. We have 142
members ranging from the ages of 35 to 95! We
recall and honor those who have served, not just
on Remembrance Day, (of which there is both a
morning and an evening service with full meal
and wreath dedications) but throughout the year
as well.
Our president & service officer, first vice, second
vice, Sgt. at arms, secretary, and eight executive
members, along with our many members, associates and dedicated volunteers, all make up the
community in which we live and proudly serve.
The recent and sad turn of events in Moncton
New Brunswick, has had an impact on all the
surrounding communities. There were many
personal connections for our associates locally
to the unfortunate and recent shootings of the
RCMP. During this time, the citizens of Moncton
had a small taste of what it is to be in harm’s
way. Though the chaotic events have been
compared by some civilians as experiencing a
war zone, this situation cannot be equated to
the intense dangers that our veterans have seen
overseas, with the resulting long term trauma
that naturally ensues.
Amongst our small community of Salisbury, I
have interviewed a Holistic Counsellor who has
gifted her time doing volunteer work with some
of our veterans. She adds: “Many veterans daily
face the on-going demons of war. Those with
severe PTSD are given little recognition from the
public. These brave men and women deserve our
consideration! It has been my service to them to

give them the tools in dealing with the horrific
emotional backlash of war.”
We applaud the determination that these brave
veterans demonstrate on a continual basis,
despite a disabling condition. If every soldier
and veteran were given the same acclaim as our
fine fallen RCMP locally have been, how much
more appreciated they might feel! It is our wish,
at Branch 31, to extend honor and sympathy
to ALL of our fallen heroes and their families,
throughout our country’s history.
As a community-based branch of the Royal
Canadian Legion, Salisbury branch number 31
has taken the lead in welcoming and honoring all
who are in its community …. And beyond!

Professor Giovanni of Padua University,
Italy, preached the right idea in the 15th
century. He said, “If all particles of food
were removed from between the teeth after
each meal and the mouth cleaned night and
morning, care could be effective.”
But it’s possible to brush your teeth a
dozen times after a meal without removing
the food between teeth. To see this result,
use dental floss or stimudents after eating
blueberries or other food, to see how much
food remains between teeth. This “no man’s
land” between teeth traps food, promotes
infection, and destroys the tough periodontal fibers that cement the teeth in place.
But it’s hard to get this hygienic message
across to all ages. Years ago I flew onto the
deck of the nuclear aircraft carrier, the USS
Nimitz. This massive ship carries 6,000
sailors with an average age of 19. I was
amazed to hear that seven dentists working
day after day could not keep up with the
dental decay of the crew.
People who get lazy about dental hygiene
fail to realize the loss of a tooth means more
than just the loss of a tooth. George Herbert,
in 1640, wrote “For want of a nail the
horse’s shoe was lost. For want of a shoe
the horse was lost. For want of a horse the
rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle
and the kingdom was lost.” Lost teeth leave
holes. Nothing supports opposing teeth while chewing.
So they too become loose
and more susceptible to
decay.
I recently attended my
Harvard Medical School
Reunion in Boston and
listened to a variety of
professors discussing new
advances in medicine. I
learned that there may be
an end to drilling and filling
decay in teeth, good news
for those who fear the drill.
This research was reported
in the Journal Science
Translational Medicine.
David Mooney, a Harvard
University bioengineer,
says that shining a light
from a low powered laser,
about the brightness of a
sunlit day, enabled the teeth
to regrow dentine, the inner
material that makes up the

its early stages the gum turns from a natural
pink to red. Later, small spaces form between the gum and tooth. Called gingivitis,
the condition is not usually painful and can
remain unnoticed for many years.
However, gingivitis usually turns into
periodontitis, and the gum starts to pull
away from the crown and root of the tooth
creating deep pockets in which bacteria
accumulate. The end result is that the
firm supporting structures of the teeth are
destroyed
To prevent PGD people must get rid of
common misconceptions. You have to do
more than just see your dentist for regular
checkups or brushing your teeth. 90 percent
of my patients believed that sound dental
hygiene involves only brushing their teeth
after each meal.
HONEY ‘N SPICE
Lasers to Regenerate Teeth?
Over 400 years ago, Miguel de Cervantes,
author of Don Quixote, realized the importance of sound teeth. Don Quixote said,
“For I would have you know, Sancho, that a
mouth without molars is like a mill without
a stone, and a tooth is more precious than a
diamond.”
Yet many people today don’t appreciate
the importance of his message. Today, tooth
decay affects 96 percent of the population.
Two out of five North Americans over age
19 have lost teeth. And over age 65 one in
five have no teeth, often due to gum disease.
Dental rust, known as periodontal gum
disease (PGD), is an insidious process. In

bulk of the tooth. So far this was only accomplished in rodents.
But Harold Slavkin, a Professor of Dentistry at the University of California, says
that this work in rodents sets the stage for
dramatic changes in medical care. People in
the future will be able to regrow their own
teeth, hearts and other organs.
Before this happens Cervantes would
tell you it’s possible to keep your teeth
a lifetime. Be sure to get regular dental
checkups, use floss, and keep a tooth brush
at the office. And remember, what Giovanni
taught in the 15th century still applies today.

inducted in the NB Country music Hall of
Fame(1985) and the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame in (1990) just to mention
a few.
When the group “Maritime Express”
was no longer because, of the death of one
member and illness of two others Vivian
and Ivan started doing duos.
They travelled twice across Canada in
RV’s as a group in 2000 and 2002. They
went up to White Horse; they played in
Nashville, Bronson, Florida, Louisiana and
Mexico. They did concerts, Benefits, and
they played for the seniors. They did seven
weeks on the road playing concerts, in
parks, Church Halls, theaters, and outdoors.
One of the highlights of their travels was
playing in Victoria, Vancouver Island,
looking up across the harbor and seeing the
Parliament buildings.
In 1985 the first “Fiddlers Doo” was
started, a Saturday kind of affair, at the
Lutz Mountain Meeting House. It was by

student in Salisbury. A perfect match, they
were married in Sussex July 4th 1970;
their honeymoon trip was to the mecca of
Country Music, Nashville. After that it was
all school and music.
In 1973 they were involved with the
Salisbury Lionettes, to play for the seniors,
40 years later they are still called to play.
Some of the folks there Ivan had met in past
parent teacher meetings. In 1978 he formed,
played with, and directed the “Sussex Avenue Fiddlers” while living on Sussex Ave.
They started with five or six people, now
there are nearly 50. They just finished celebrating their 35 anniversary as a group. In
1995 the group composed a book of tunes
and then again for their 35 anniversary
another of 26 tunes, tunes that the members
of the group composed.
Ivan began to do recordings in Halifax
and later in Sussex and he was involved
with the group “Maritime Express”. He was
the Maritime Fiddle Champion (1979-80) ,
invitation only, held once a month fall,
winter, and spring. Soon friends from
Sussex wanted to start one there, then St.
John, Miramichi Woodstock, Fredericton,
Bathurst, and Plaster Rock. Fiddle Doos are
still going on to this day. This area it is held
in the Lions club in Salisbury; two in winter
and one in February.
One of the special events started in 1989,
“The Super Fiddle Show,” was to raise
funds for “safe grad program” at Riverview
High. For the 25th anniversary this year
they brought back the group “The Calgary
Fiddlers” who played the first show at Riverview Arts Center. Their director now, is
one of the young fiddlers who played in the
group the very first time they came. When
the Calgary fiddlers were here they went to
the schools and got the children involved
with them. . Ivan mentioned that many musicians start when they are young, because
someone in the family is involved in music,

“The music comes from the fiddler’s
heart, through his strings and straight into
your heart.”
Father John Angus Rankin, Cape Breton
musician.
My story this month is about one of
Canada’s great fiddlers who is a native of
New Brunswick and very familiar to many
of you.
Ivan Hicks was born to Curtis and Bessie
(Lee) Hicks in 1940 at his Grandmother
Lees’ farm in Upper Sackville. His father
was a woodsman until they moved to Sackville then he worked on the railway. Ivan
was schooled in Sackville, acquired two
degrees from Mount Allison University and
moved to Salisbury to teach in 1964 for 32
years; he retired in 1996.
Ivan, the only child in the family, heard
fiddle music from the day he was born, and
begun to play the
fiddle at a very
young age.
His father, a
fiddler, played
for dances and
Ivan played
the mandolin
with him. His
first dance he
was six years

What's a yurt?
The yurt is the traditional dwelling of
Central Asia nomads. Made to resist extreme climates, this circular shape abode
has five basic elements: lattice walls, roof
beams, a roof ring, a door, and a felt and
hide covering. Since the 13th century, yurts
have been used by nomadic horse herders as
portable homes.
Inside of a yurt You will enjoy a great
view of the night sky from the yurts!

"Both of my brothers, Ken and Doug, my sister Kathy, my daughter Eileen, and myself were all
married in this church. In 1997, after 50 years of marriage, Mom & Dad themselves renewed their
vows in this church. It has always been a big part of all of our lives. But a lot of my memories of the
church don't even involve the building we are in today, because the CHURCH always meant more to
Mom & Dad than this building. Church was service to their Lord and Saviour; Church was family;
Church was helping friends and neighbours in the community. It was who they were"

A person told me that he broke sweat breaking wind ! I'm glad I didn't go visit !
Recently, an automotive advertisement in a certain newspaper offered financing for people
with credit issues. It went on to say that they offered a SAFE and honest environment to
purchase your vehicle. Now, I can understand the part of dealing in honesty, but a safe environment ??? I assume that Jethro would have to be riding shotgun as he accompanies you

the sales manager looks at you and says......waddaya mean, ya wanna buy a car? Hmm....

Vivian, if you want more information or
you would like to have his book “IVAN
HICKS fifty years of fabulous music”
written by Allison Mitcham, or the Tunes
composed by the “Sussex Avenue Fiddlers”,
go to his web site www.ivanhicks.com
Correction from last month story of Everyday People
but there are opportunities for people who
have a desire to be involved in music. Vivian said that Ivan was an inspiration to the
older adults who always had a desire to play
the fiddle. He got calls from seniors, so he
got a group together and that was the beginning of ‘The Sussex Avenue Fiddlers”
Ivan said “The biggest thing is to make
people happy, to put music under their feet.
When we play the senior
places and benefits, and we
see smiles on their faces and
the movement in their bodies; we know we have done
something for them and it’s
all worthwhile.”
Oh. I didn’t mention the
tune he composed for his
grandmother; when he
played the tune for her, she
didn’t know it was for her;
she said it was the prettiest
tune she ever heard. Today
Ivan played it for me and I
understood the truth of the
quote at the beginning; “it
came from his heart, through
the strings, and into my heart”, really!
There is so much more about Ivan and
