tHe cRaYoN BoX A SLIVER OF SILVER
I find that we can become so convinced that what we think is right, that we refuse to listen to other people’s opinions. This is the basis upon which I decided to start this column. I’m calling this column The Crayon Box because in each interview I perform, I like to ask people what colour crayon they think they would be. Hello. My name is Edwin and I’m a co-op student working at Ossekeag Publishing. For those of you who don’t know, the Cooperative Education program provides an opportunity for high school students to spend their afternoons at a place of business, gaining real-life experience and hands on skills at a chosen job or position. It’s a nice test run to see if you’d like to have that job, before spending thousands of dollars at university or college only to find you don’t like the work. I am a Grade 12 student at Hampton High School. I wouldn't consider myself a typical teenager, which is fine by me. It’s good to be different. As you can guess from the title, I would want to be a silver crayon. It’s my favourite colour and personality tests that assign you a colour always give me silver. The courses I’ve enjoyed taking the most are Modern History, Sociology, Political Science, and Journalism. I live on a dairy farm with my mother, father, and brother. There are quite a few teachers and farmers in my family, so I know a fair amount about both professions. As far as what I want to do in my life, I’m not sure yet. But then again, most people who go to university change their mind at some point. This column is mostly going to be me interviewing our local politicians. Like it or not, politics is a very important part of
our world, and, in my opinion democracy only works when we stay informed. It can be very easy to become cynical about politics and believe there’s nothing we can do to improve our situation, but giving up won’t get anyone anywhere. In a world of fake news, it can be difficult to understand what is truly happening. Reading headlines and not researching the story can leave people with misinformed views. I wanted to take some time to connect with our local politicians, because I find most of us only know what is shown in the news or fake news on social media. I believe it is important to know and understand the person behind the politics. It’s easy to blame people we don’t know, especially when we don’t truly understand how government works, but by forming a connection with our legislative representatives not only we do we have a better understanding of politics, we are better able to make informed decisions during election years. So join me on my journey to engage our local political leaders. I think you’ll find some people who are truly trying to help you, however they can.

UNFILTERED SPRING FORWARD WITH SOME REFRESHING PATIO WINES A Patio wine is a wine that is easy drinking and approachable. Patio wines are light, crisp, and tend to be higher in acidity and lower in alcohol. Patio wines are fairly simple, and while they can be enjoyed alone, they also pair easily with most simple summer dishes. One of the first patio wines that comes to mind for most people is rose. And no, I am not referring to the mass produced, sickeningly sweet Kool-Aid style wine that many of us may have drunk when we were young. A good quality rose is going to be dry and range in colour from salmon pink to deep fuschia. They are fruity and well balanced with a lingering finish. The best roses come from well known wine producing regions such as Provence, Bordeaux, Spain and New Zealand. A few recommendations are; Chivite Gran Feudo Rosado from Spain, and Yvecourt Bordeaux Rose from France. Another fantastic patio wine is Portugal’s Vinho Verde. Vinho Verde is light, slightly effervescent and sometimes
can have a touch of sweetness. It is very easy drinking and inexpensive. Unfortunately, ANBL only carries one, but it is a good one. It is called Gazella. Muscadet is another great patio wine. Coming from the Loire region of France, it is bottled directly from the barrel after having been aged on the lees which imparts flavours of bread dough and yeast. Muscadet usually has a bit of bubbliness, making it very fun to drink. It is the perfect companion to all types of shellfish, but is also great all on its own. Try La Sablette. Torrontes, the most well known white wine from Argentina, these wines do not get the attention they deserve. Grown in the highest vineyards in the world, the high altitude means intense sunshine, but the low temps help the grapes to retain their acidity. Torrontes is fresh, fruity and fun to drink. Try Don David Torrontes. Last but not least is Bubbly. Whether mixed OJ for Mimosas or enjoyed all by it’s glorious self, you can never go wrong with sparkling wine whether it for a special
occasion or just because it’s Tuesday. Italy’s most famous sparkling wine is Prosecco and it is perfect for summer. Made using the tank method, they are fresh, fruity, and affordable, usually around the $20 range. Find them in the Sparkling wine section at ANBL, all of them are great. While I have named a few styles of wines that are perfect for sipping on your patio, there are so many more.

Domino: I was born on March 13, 2017.
I’m a large tuxedo male weighing in at 12 lbs. I can be just a big ‘sook’ and turn myself ‘inside out’ to be petted. I’ve been ‘introduced to the resident dog,’ met a few of the felines and now I’m friendly to the humans as well. I’ve been neutered, vaccinated and had everything else taken care of by PAWS. My next appointment at the Vet’s is to have my vaccination booster and then I will be ready for my new home. Paws & Whiskers Sanctuary Inc.

Volunteer Week
It is National Volunteer Week, a time to celebrate and thank Canada’s nearly 13 million volunteers. Throughout Canada, in cities and rural communities, in homes, schools and organizations, young and old, working and retired, one in two Canadians volunteer their time to give back to their community. In
2010, 2.07 billion hours of volunteer work were done. To put that in perspective, that’s the same amount of hours that are in 236 139 years. The theme of this year’s National Volunteer Week is: Celebrate the Value of Volunteering building confidence, competence,
connections and community. Talk to any hardworking volunteer and they’ll tell you that they get more out of volunteering than they give. Developing new skills, meeting new people, and learning more are all results of the volunteer experience. Just how vital are volunteers? Well, according to Stats Canada, slightly over half

April 15th - 21st of all the charities in Canada are run exclusively by volunteers. Without volunteers, Canada as we know it wouldn’t be the same. Want to get involved? Sports and recreation, social services, and religious organizations are the areas that get the most volunteers, but volunteer opportunities can be found everywhere. The possibilities really are endless, from helping seniors or the youth, to food services, to transportation, to education, and so on. Volunteers reach out to engage in kindness and caring for others; they volunteer their time to organizations for many reasons, including a
desire to contribute to their communities, to use their skills and experience, or because they have been personally affected by the cause. They ask for nothing in return but a simple thank you. So this National Volunteer Week, let’s recognize our volunteers and all they do for us. Thank you.

TOM’S POLAR BEARS
Tommy with the winners
Tommy at his fundraising table
Quispamsis 7-year old, Tommy SmithBates, recently approached his parents with a request. This wasn't your typical plea for the latest toy or a new bike, however. He asked, "Can I send my money to help the polar bears?" "Absolutely!" exclaimed his parents. After having seen a report on the status of polar bears, he decided to take action. The young boy with the big heart sent his own savings to World Wildlife Fund Canada that day. But he wanted to do more. After brainstorming ideas with his mom, Tommy called his school to arrange for a meeting with school administration. Once he had the goahead, he got to work. Students at Tommy's school were invited to submit their best picture of a polar bear. In exchange for a modest donation to enter the contest, they were entered into a draw for polar bear-themed prizes. His goal was to raise $200 to help with efforts for this threatened species. Artwork began to come in right away. Students enthusiastically brought in toonies, painted canvas scenes, pencil
drawings, collages, even one mask and a mini polar bear puppet on a Popsicle stick! Of course Granddad, other family and friends were not to be left out. Tommy drafted an email to call upon them for support. Pride was evident as he collected art, recorded donations, and even made the prize announcements to his entire school over the PA system. Tommy is responsible for raising 93% of his $200 goal to date. Now, as he wraps up his campaign, Tommy is beyond thrilled to have played a role in the conservation of these magnificent creatures. To learn more about the plight of the polar bears, or to contribute to this campaign, you can visit his page at support.wwf.ca/goto/TomsPolarBears. 4914

DESIGNS FOR REAL LIFE DARE TO BE MODERN Straight Lines, minimalistic, contemporary, trendy or just cold? Everyone has a different opinion of a modern kitchen. Some think of a sterile kitchen in a lab or an all-white floor-to-ceiling monotone kitchen. Think that your family life would not fit a modern kitchen? I can show you why that doesn’t have to be true. Go with your own comfort level and the style of your home to create the right balance of modern for you. First, think of the layout. A modern kitchen has a lot of flush cabinetry with flat door surfaces. Panels can be built to conceal and hide most appliances and exhaust hoods. Clean lines, but still very functional. Now for the look. Start with one wow factor, something that you bought online or you find at a special store. This will be your building block and will push you outside your comfort zone, in a good way. The wow is best as a backsplash, a stone countertop or unique door hardware. Make sure you love it because everything will be designed around it. Think about adding a bold colour to your cabinets. A modern kitchen is often all white or greys but the best impact is a bold colour. such as emerald green, navy blue or black. Yes black is back. Classic black cabinetry creates a palate that every other element from the kitchen will
pop in front of. High gloss or matte finishes will add a dramatic effect. I know what you’re thinking… fingerprints. Trust me! With the new finishes available you won’t see a mark. Easy to clean and always beautiful because modern life is busy. Add a few finishing touches for your magazine worthy modern kitchen to balance the space such as accent lighting that complements the kitchen. Use geometric shapes or fun designs. Don’t be afraid to mix golds with silvers a concept which is very trendy now. Neutral wall colors, neutral floors and accessories. Let the kitchen shine on its own, not compete with the other details. Add Natural wood; bold colors and natural woods are hot now and instantly warm up a modern kitchen. Think about a butcher block or floating shelves. Modern can be very warm, if you have the right balance and never ever forget function. 0048

Spring
Home Improvement
It happens to everyone. The snow starts to melt and you find yourself roaming around a home décor store looking at all the ways you can uplift your tired home. Not many have a magazine worthy home but does your space reflect who you are and how you feel? A true place of beauty

is one where the owner is open to filling the home with elements of their infatuation over time. The trick is to be confident in showcasing what you know you love. For those people who love everything, where do you start?
People pick bits of inspiration from different sources. Most people get overwhelmed by visiting all the stores in their city or spending three (or more) hours wandering around at a home show; one solution is to turn to the online fountain of information in the comfort of your own home. Pinterest.com will turn you from a Plain Jane to a Creative Queen. Type your problem in the search bar and thousands of ideas and solutions pop up. Houzz. com is another site specifically for room design used by people from around the world. People post their “looks” and it is easier to sort what you like from what you don’t. It is also a great place to look for local trade recommendations. Once you have some ideas, create a plan and a budget for your new room. If Trading Spaces taught us anything, it is that you don’t need a huge budget for a big impact. Some ways you can keep the cost low is

shopping at home. Often times when I am invited into a person’s home to create a design I end up in the basement. So many things can be repurposed or considered trendy after a fresh coat of paint or new fabric. Perhaps you decided on classic Navy as the new accent color in your living room. Gather up all books with a blue tone cover and stack them on your coffee table. Top off with a small clear vase and a pink blooming flower. Instant Spring! Once you have gone through anything in the house that can be used think DIY. Need new artwork going up the staircase? Go online and search free printables in your theme and colors. Print on photo paper or on a matte paper, frame and hang. People will ask where you got them and you will be happy to tell them they were free… and easy to change for each season and holiday. Now you are ready to create a detailed list of what to buy in stores. Find a few pieces to provide a focal point and pull the
look together. Textiles such as area rugs, pillows and fabrics are great focal points that can add patterns without throwing the whole design off. Be daring and try new styles and have fun. Paint is always last! Bring your patterns and pictures into a paint store and let them help choose the colour and texture or contact a decorator to come to your home; well worth the cost of a gallon of paint. Add your own personality and create a Spring ready home.

PLAYING OUTSIDE THE BOX DON’T BE A SCHOOL LITTER BUG As Canadians we have come to depend on many convenience products, and nowhere is this more evident than in our schools. The exponential growth of plastics is now threatening the survival of our planet; from poisoning and injuring marine life to disrupting human hormones, littering our beaches and landscapes to clogging our waste streams and landfill . It is our responsibility to teach the next generation and model good environmental practices One simple way to start is to think about packing litter less lunches for our children. There are many reasons why litter-less lunches are a good thing. Besides the environmentally-friendly component, a proper litter-less lunch plan is healthier as it cuts out pre-packaged; sugar laden food and can save you money in the long run. It also teaches children to be conscious about the waste they create and the food they put into their bodies. In our programs we encourage parents to pack litter-less lunches in an effort to reduce the waste from convenient store food packaging to
our landfills and our classrooms. The children will learn to be better stewards of our environment, an effort that hopefully will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Shocking Fact! It has been estimated that on average a school-age child using a disposable (lunch) generates 67 pounds of (waste) per school year. How much garbage do you think comes out of our schools just in the Sussex Area? Approximate school enrollment: Apohaqui Elementary – 81, Sussex Corner Elementary - 327, Sussex Elementary School - 485, Sussex Middle School - 434, Sussex Regional High School – 726. For a total of 2053 students. 2053 x 67 lbs = 137, 551 pounds every year!! Let’s try to turn this statistic around! Earth day is on Sunday, April 22 so I challenge you to think about how to lower your carbon footprint. Below are some ideas to help you get started. Here are some tools for packing a wastefree lunch: Reusable insulated lunch carrier with cold pack; reusable containers – non-plastic containers like stainless
steel are better; reusable drink bottle or a a thermos; cloth napkin to wash and reuse; silverware to wash and reuse. Say no thank you to: paper or plastic bags; plastic wrap, foil, wax or Styrofoam; singleuse cans or juice boxes; paper napkins; plastic forks/spoons; overly packaged/ processed snacks. If you are looking for lunch box ideas & water bottles, check out fenigo.com or polkadotpond.ca. Canadian make and great deal on shipping.

MORE THAN FITNESS ARE YOU TAKING CARE OF YOU Spring has finally come after a long winter; as the warmer weather and longer days finally arrive it is the time of year when we begin to feel renewed, rejuvenated and revitalized - or at least, we should be. Is this starting to happen for you? If not, maybe it is time to stop and take a look at your health and wellness routine and to ask yourself what am I doing to take care of me? As a busy mom working full time plus participating in a number of other committees and organizations, I totally get how we can end up slipping into a routine of putting ourselves last. While we know we should be eating better, getting more activity, sleeping more, etc... we just don’t feel we have enough hours in the day to make it happen. We get caught up in the craziness of running from one thing to the next - from work to kids’ activities to meetings and the list goes on. We end our days feeling exhausted,
and self-care is the very last thing we are thinking about – let’s face it most of us aren’t thinking about it at all. As we move in to this season of growth and renewal, I want to challenge you to sit down and take a few minutes to do a little check-in with yourself. Ask yourself honestly – am I doing the things I should be to take the best care of myself that I can so that I can feel my best and, in turn, take better care of those around me? If you answer no to this question, what are some simple things that you can begin to put in place to make sure that you are able to carve out some time for yourself each and every day to tackle the items on your self-care to do list so that you may live your best life and reclaim your health? Whether it is setting aside some time for meal prep to ensure you are nourishing your body with the best possible foods, carving out a few minutes each day
to move your body and be physically active or giving yourself permission to take a few minutes to yourself every day for meditation, reading or just plain breathing, think about what it is that you need most right now to bring yourself in to balance and how you can find it. While making ourselves a priority can be a challenge, especially for women, it is well worth the investment and something you will never regret doing.

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE PROTECTING YOUR LEGACY When your time comes – and may it be many years from now – you will want your legacy to be passed on exactly as you wish. You will want to ensure your family is protected and the least possible taxes are levied against your estate. That’s why estate planning is so important and why you should do it now using strategies like these. A Will is the foundation of any estate plan. It designates how your estate should be distributed. If you die without a will (ie, intestate), provincial legislation will determine how your estate is distributed amongst your heirs. A Living Will provides direction for your care in the event of catastrophic illness or disability. An Enduring Power of Attorney (also called a Mandate in case of Incapacity in Québec) provides direction for how your property will be managed in the event of incapacity. An Executor (sometimes
called a Personal Representative or in Québec, a liquidator) is the person named in your will to settle your estate according to your documented wishes. A Guardian should be named in your will to take care of your children while they are minors. Liquid Assets are important to pay for taxes, debts, the costs of settling your estate and/or other obligations. If you do not anticipate that your estate will have sufficient liquid assets, consideration should be given to purchasing insurance. Funeral Services can be pre arranged to save your estate some money, avoid extra stress on your survivors, and ensure the service is according to your wishes. Financial Assets should be comprehensively listed in your records - and be sure your Executor and/or survivors know where to find them. Probate is the process by which your will is validated by a court with fees
paid to your provincial government usually calculated on the net fair market value of the assets in your estate. Although reducing probate fees may be desirable, avoiding probate through the use of strategies such as beneficiary designations and joint ownership can lead to problems if some beneficiaries receive more of the estate than others. These comments are based on the probate process outside of Québec, since the probate process is different in that province. Edited for space, see full article ossekeag.ca. 0036
