Right: This month the Small Fry Herald is

celebrating it’s 4th year anniversary. The
first issue came out in October 2006. All
of the back issues will be made available
on the Marpi Productions website very
soon.
This Picture was one of the first ads used
to promote the edmundsonlocals Forum.
Not that it was very successful, I still kind
of like it a lot.
Anyways Happy Birthday to the SFH and
huge thanks to everyone that has help
and is helping out with all of our projects,
we’re doing something amazing with this
community!.

This month The Small Fry
Herald is celebrating its 4th
year Anniversary and this edi-
tion. We’re also all pretty
fond of All Hallows Eve so
we’re very excited about this
issue.
In fact we love Halloween so
much that we’re offering a
literature contest in the form
of horror short , the article is
featured in this issue. Trying
to get people motivated in all
forms of art is one of the
goals for us, we often do pho-
tography but we do want to
diversify into all other forms
of arts and there’s no better
way to get people interested
than with a contest, although
I am not implying that art can
actually be judged as such, it’s
just a means of motivation.
In my opinion, everyone that
takes the time to participate is
already a winner.
Halloween is definitely my
favourite festival and I
thought that I’d take some
time to share some common
and not so common facts
about it. Many people forget
the history of Halloween
which roots from both Celtic
polytheism and Christianity.
The Christians celebrate Hal-
lowmas, or All Saints Day, a
solemnity which commemo-
rates the saints and those who
have attained beatific vision.
It is then followed by All
Souls Day, on November 1st
which is the day which people
offer their prayers for the
souls who have not yet
reached heaven.
The Celtic belief is much dif-
ferent as it the Gaels believed
that it was the day where the
veil between the living from
the dead became thin. This
festival is called Samhain and
it certainly due to the beauti-
ful death that that is seen dur-
ing fall, the dying of the trees
and the Slaughter of animals
for meat during the winter
months. They celebrated this
festival with bonfires and peo-
ple would often be seen walk-
ing through the flames, sym-
bolizing purification. It was
also customary for them to
wear masks or to paint their
faces in black in order to
mimic and to appease the
Page 4
dead. Turnips were also
carved out into faces and
placed in the windows in or-
der to ward out evil spirits.
Finally, ‘guisers’ were also
popular; children would go
door to door wearing masks
and costume and would offer
entertainment of all kind in
return for food, goods or
coins.
As you can see, many of these
traditions still persist to this
day but most people don’t
actually know the history be-
hind these customs. I find it
important that people know
and understand the actual cul-
tural heritage. So hopefully
this will have shed some light
on why we do the things we
do on Halloween.
So I bid you all a Happy Hal-
loween, be weary of evil spir-
its and have yourself a good
read.

Moncton’s own The Motor-
league will be hitting the road in
November for a long extensive
tour across Canada.
The band’s been doing great the
past year releasing a new album,
some videos and walking away
with a few awards but that’s not
the reason why they’re getting
so much attention; that would
be because of the good recep-
tion of their album, the amazing
songs featured on it and the
strength of their live perform-
ance. It also doesn’t hurt when
you’ve got a bunch of musicians
with such good attitudes.
League Vocalist Don Lavendier
is also an exceptional musician
who is recognized for both be-
ing the front man of The Mo-
torleague and also for having
achieved a good amount of suc-
cess with his former band “The
Ditchpigs” but he is especially
known for his huge contribu-
tions to the music community.
All of the band members have
also know some fair amount of
success with their others bands.

About the Author:

Over the past four years, Josh Hogan has strived to become a dominant voice in the East Coast music scene. Beginning his musical career as the
vocalist for the metal band Orchid's Curse, Hogan quickly discovered the lack of support for the underground music community and formed the
Halifax-based heavy metal label Diminished Fifth Records.

During this time, he has been helping provide exposure and recognition for bands not only in the metal scene, but from all walks of the musical
spectrum with his publicity company Hogan Media Relations. No stranger to sharing his thoughts, he has spoken at organizations and conferences
such as The Halifax Pop Explosion, Noctis Metalfest, Music Nova Scotia, The ECMA Conferences and the Nova Scotia Community College. His

Recipe and Picture by Mario-Pierre Gaudreau
Heat, lots of heat!
Some like it hot, some like it
spicy, and some like it when it
burns; these stuffed jalapenos
are sure to please the latter.
The stuffing consists of a mix
of tofu, soy milk and spices
which is stuffed inside a jala-
penos which is then wrapped
in vegan bacon and then
baked in the oven until the ba-
con is crisp. The contrast in
texture and the heat is sure to
please any fan of spicy foods.
I would suggest serving these
with some nachos and a cold
beer but if you prefer wine you
can go with a rosé that can
handle the heat such as a Ban-
rock Station White Syrah.
Page 7
Recipe Book
Stuffing:
1 cup of medium silken tofu (for different consistency)
2 tbsp soy milk
2 tsp of sugar
Hot Sauce (Frank’s red hot, Tabasco or your own)
½ tsp of finely chopped lemon zest
2 tbsp of Jalapenos pits and seeds
Fresh Thyme
Chilli powder
Jalapenos poppers:
8 pitted jalapenos (see directions below)
Olive oil
Toothpicks
Stuffing
8 strips of veggie bacon
Start by coring the jalapenos. Do this by cutting the top off and inserting a pepper corer, a carrot peeling or a
fine knife inside the jalapenos and, in a circular motion, drive these around the inside of the jalapenos. Once the
pit is torn off of the inside it should all come out fairly easily with just a few taps.
If the tofu is really soft and wet you might want to wrap it in a towel and squeeze out the excess water. Place all
of the Stuffing ingredients in a blender or food processor and mix a low speed. The consistency of the stuffing
can be adjusted by either adding more tofu to get a firmer mix or soy milk to get a softer mix. The heat of the
stuffing depends on how much pits, seeds and hot sauce added into the appareil, it is better to add more pits and
seeds since hot sauce is high in sodium.

Last Word
Movie Release Party
Interview by Mario-Pierre Gaudreau
This month a bunch
of Edmundston locals
are releasing a new
movie with skate-
boarding and snow-
boarding footage en-
titled “Last
Word”. This will be
done Friday October
29th at the Bar “En
Haut”. I wasn’t really
sure what else to ex-
pect and what ex-
actly it was about so I
decided to have an
online chat with good
friend and one of the
p r od u c er s wh o
worked on the pro-
ject, David Couturier,
to try to get more in-
formation about all of
this.
Hey David, how you
been?
I’ve been great
thanks!
So what exactly did
you do on this pro-
ject, except for help-
ing with production of
course?
Well, I’ve done a lot
of advertisement, I
designed the poster
with Mic St-Onge, I
have been taking pic-
tures of the riders
this summer, I’ve
been working on find-
ing good songs for
the parts too and I
also went looking for
sponsor to help for
the release. I’m also
working on the pro-
duction of the DVD’s
which will be sold for
10$ each.
And who else is part
of this project and
what were their
roles?
Jeremie Landry has
been working really
hard on the editing
and mixing of the
video, because of the
short time left before
the release, he’s
working hard to finish
the p r od u ct i o n .
There’s also Mic St-
Onge who worked
really hard on the
production of stick-
ers, posters, and es-
pecially sponsors.
Where was this
movie p roduced /
filmed/edited?
It was filmed in a va-
riety of places, like
Saint-Sauveur, Mont-
real, Fredericton,
Saint-John, Quebec,
Riviere-du-Loup, Ri-

mouski, Edmund-
ston, Whistler and
much more. Most of
the production and
editing was done in
Edmundston.
How long has this
movie been in the
works?
We’ve been filming
for almost a year and
a half now.
I noticed the « Jes-
some’s La source du
sport » logo on the
poster, are they just Top: David Couturier is well know to the
sponsoring the event SFH since he’s on staff as a photographer.

AGNOSTIC FRONT-ONE VOICE (1992 RELATIVITY RECORDS)
So sorry that i wasn't able to
write a review last month, I was
under the weather and
forgot all about the pre-
cise due date. Anyways
you guys let’s get the
point; so anyways I'm
back and I have a duesy
for you today, it is Ag-
nostic Front - One Voice
LP; a definite must for
any fan of Agnostic
front.
Although their early stuff
before this was more of a
crossover of metal &
hardcore, this is not the
case this time with one
voice. This LP brings
more of a straight up
hardcore punk metal feel.
It is one of my all time favourite
records along with their classic
Something’s Gotta Give LP
from 1998 and another one to
check out from this band is
there riot riot upstart LP from
1999, the best 3 albums to date.
These New York hardcore hit-
ters, Agnostic Front, have been
around since the early 80's and
haven’t showed any signs of
letting up. Front man/Singer
Page 14
Roger Miret has also had his
own band called Roger Miret
and the Disasters, al-
though I haven't heard
much from them so far
I've only heard that it is all
good. Some songs to
check out from this album
are “One Voice”, “New
Jack” and “Your Fall”.
I'd say out of any band
out there Agnostic Front
would be one of the bands
I would most like to see
live. I have a live video
from around the time
when this LP came out
and all I have to say is that
it is mayhem so check out
AF!
