BUSINESS WOMAN OF THE YEAR 2015


REFLECTIONS OUR CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES... It’s spring time, and for many parents with children this is the time of year when our children are involved in sports and competitions. For me, having a teenage son who is involved in fencing, our weekends now involve competitions. With fencing, Matthew participates at the club one evening per week and there are times when he misses this training due to school work such as assignments, tests, and exams. His coach, Rick Gosselin, is very interested in the children’s schooling and it is not uncommon to hear Rick ask the children about school, and he’ll ask parents how their children are doing with their grades. For our family, Matthew is a competitive fencer who competes in Canada and the United States. Because of this, he has made friends from different provinces and states. I am fortunate I can accompany Matthew to these events and I look forward to the mother-son time we get to spend together on our road trips. I am also very fortunate my son is not too embarrassed to be seen with his “old” parents! In fencing there are so many rules involved depending on the weapon you are competing with and my son competes primarily in “foil” events. As a parent watching my child compete, I still have trouble distinguishing who gets the point when both lights come on at the same time - thank goodness I’m not refereeing! I understand there are rules and how it all comes down to right-of-way, who began the attack and if this person gave

up their right-of-way by moving their hand or foot back. There are a lot of words for different actions in fencing, and I understand the terminology of a parry and parry reposte; however, that pretty much sums up my understanding of the terminology. As a mom watching my son, I encourage and support him, but Matthew is aware that many of the actions from the fencers and calls from the referees are way over my head. A competition we will be attending, the Challenge Des Nations, in Quebec, will include fencers from 13 countries. When we travel and attend competitions, it is not unusual to see the children get together, socialize and have a great time, go out to the restaurant and get together at the pool. For the children competing, school work is still important and Matthew takes his work with him and studies during the long drives, at the hotel, and along the wall at the fencing event - this is a common sight to see children along the walls studying in between matches at the events. Fencing events are a time for our family to get away and for my husband and I, to watch our son participate in something that he Kathleen Bolger t h orou g h l y Publisher, Ossekeag Publishing enjoys. 0001

RURAL RIDES CLAIMS SUCCESS Rural Rides has provided transportation to local residents for over a year. President, Ross Alexander, said: “I feel we are at a point where we can claim success, but there is more to come!” The concept started with a group of residents, supported by Councillor Bob Lamb of Salisbury and Mayor Jerry Gogan of Petitcodiac, who felt that a service was needed for local transportation since there is no public transit. Some residents are isolated if they have no access to cars. The result was the creation of Rural Rides, a nonprofit corporation with the mission to provide affordable transportation to people in the area of Petitcodiac, Salisbury, Upper Coverdale, Havelock, River Glade, Elgin and points in between. Rural Rides partnered with Westmorland Albert Social Inclusion Network, with financial support of the Economic and Social Inclusion Corporation. To build a base of riders

and drivers, they offered a threemonth service contract to Doug Duff. However, “after three months we were not ready to proceed with a competition and Doug stayed with us on new contracts. Doug got Rural Rides to the point that the board of Directors decided last December that it was time to go to open competition” said Alexander. “We are pleased to announce that Kelly Taylor began with Rural Rides on March 7” said Alexander. “Doug

Rural Rides President Ross Alexander thanks Doug Duff

assisted with the transition until his most recent contract ended March 18. The Board thanks Doug for his work and dedication.” For information on how to access transportation through Rural Rides, volunteer as a driver, join the board of directors or make a donation, call 2152100 or visit: ruralridesnb.com. The public is invited to attend the Annual General Meeting of Rural Rides on Wednesday, April 27 7:00pm at the Salisbury Lions Club. 4005

others a weekend, but all are an investment in the long-term health and enjoyment of your home. A good place to start is

According to Wikipedia “During the 19th century in America, prior to the advent of the vacuum cleaner, March was often the best time for dusting because it was getting warm enough to open windows and doors (but not warm enough for insects to be a problem), and the high winds could carry the dust out of the house. This time of year is also when coal furnaces wouldn’t run and you could wash all the soot from the walls and furniture left by the furnace.” As part of the process, pack away all of the warm cozy accessories and lighten up the feel of the home with lighter fabrics, and brighter colours.

Our group met March 16 at the Lighthouse River Centre in Hampton to hear presentations from three charities/ non-profits from the Kings County area. Lois King spoke about the needs at the Sussex Sharing Club and the programs that club supports, one of which helps clients obtain their Food Safety courses, which in turn may improve their chances of finding employment. Keri Marr represented the Kiwanis Nursing Home Foundation and informed us of the challenges they face to equip the new and refurbished areas of the Home that will benefit residents for years to come. Cecile Matheson talked to our group about the Sussex Vale Transition House and it’s role in providing shelter while helping women and children escape violence.

Q: How do I fix a mistake on my credit report? A: If there is an error on your credit report,

fixing it should be of the utmost importance. Lenders will often refuse credit even if it is clear an error has occurred on your credit report, and they will not entertain thoughts of issuing credit until the mistake is rectified. One of the best ways to catch a mistake before a potential creditor does is to order your credit report annually. You can do this free of charge by contacting both credit bureaus in Canada: Equifax and Trans Union. To fix an error on your credit report, both credit bureaus provide a form to complete and send back to them. When completing this form, be as specific as possible. Should your dispute be valid, the information on your credit report will be changed accordingly. If the original information provided to the credit bureau is found to be accurate, no changes will be made. Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty.

ASK THE CHEF SALT Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I was talking with a man this week about salt and salt intake; then I started wondering when we started seasoning our food with salt and pepper. This is what I found out. Salt is an essential nutrient and the amount of salt in the diet influences health. Too much salt can raise blood pressure and may increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes in susceptible populations. The World Health Organization recommends that adults should consume less than 2,000mg of sodium, equivalent to 5 grams of salt per day. Salt has been a traded commodity for over 8000 years. It was mined and traded all over the middle east and northern parts of Africa. All through history the availability of salt has been pivotal to civilization. The word "salary" comes from the Latin word for

salt because the Roman Legions were sometimes paid in salt, which was quite literally worth its weight in gold. Are bodies crave salt. We have several different tastes and combining two or more of these tastes in balance determines how much we enjoy what we are eating. Sweet, salty, savoury, sour and bitter are the five flavours we seek in a meal. Some chefs have perfected the ability to combine these tastes. The ability to do so is an art in itself. I find most chefs over season items with salt, which in return makes your brain think that something is better than it actually is. You know when this happens because you will be thirsty after your meal. If you are concerned with your salt intake, avoid processed foods. Processed foods are full of salt but they come in different forms. In the ingredients list, if you see sodium then that really means salt as sodium is a major part of salt. Mono sodium

glutamate (MSG) is the most common salt substitute found in processed foods and is known for giving cramps to some. Now salt is important and your body needs salt to survive. People avoiding salt 100% of the time are causing more harm than good. Lack of salt leads to fatigue and causes muscles to cramp up. Electrolytes are out of whack without salt, so don’t avoid it, just be conscious of how much you are taking in. Always taste your food before adding salt, especially in a restaurant because cooks should be trained to season food to ensure flavour. 0040

IN THE gARDEN FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN SPRING The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la, bring promise of merry sunshine… The Mikado. At last we can truly celebrate spring with the blooming of the crocus and, by the time you read this, the Daffodils will be strutting their stuff; however this does not give licence to start any serious digging in

the flower beds since the danger of slicing into bulbs or perennials that have not yet surfaced is very real and the dismay at slicing into a precious Asian Lily produces an almost physical pain. By this time all frost cover, fir boughs and the like, should have been removed, any cold nights that might come will not damage

uncovered plants Quite the most rewarding activity that gives a huge visual lift to the border is that of edging; as with most garden tools, simple is definitely best! There’s a huge range of seemingly labour saving devices on the market to aid in this job, but by far the best method is the half circle edger and a simple garden fork; the soft moist ground is perfect for this activity, as the turf is lifted on the garden side of the cut, the soil can be shaken on to the garden and the slice of turf makes a welcome addition to the compost, or indeed, a convenient patch for a piece of lawn requiring repair. Doing this job affords an opportunity to deal with cutworms, slugs and the like before they engage in amorous activities and produce legions of progeny; and the sharp cut edge, once the soil is mounded away from it, deters the grass from invading the garden. Because the ground is moist, this is a good time to carefully tackle some of the perennial weeds, dandelions, clumps of grass and the pesky chickweed are easily removed without too much disturbance, and since the chickweed is already in bloom, it is vital to get it out before it seeds; in this case a ‘stitch in time’ saves several hundreds of new and invasive weeds getting a strong foothold! Most ponds contain a mass of fallen leaves and mine has a bumper crop of crab apples that are fermenting well and very likely providing stupor inducing nectar for the wild life; though not wishing to deny joyful imbibing to any living creature, these bits and pieces need to be removed and a top-up of clean water added. Since there will be a load of pond creatures that are lifted from the water, I leave all the detritus on the side of the pond in order that they may slither back in; water snails are particularly useful for cleaning the pond and when the bits have settled will aid in keeping the water clear, healthy and inviting for legions of mosquito eating frogs. Blessings! 0045 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb


SELF ESTEEM JUST BE YOURSELF “Just be yourself ”. How many times have we been told that? It sounds like an amazing thing to do. Many of us wish we could do that. However, low self esteem has robbed us of our real selves over time. My favourite definition of self esteem that I have ever come across is this: Self esteem is that deep down inside the skin feeling that you have of your own self worth. Having healthy self esteem does not mean that you think you are the ‘greatest thing since sliced bread’. There is a difference between feeling good about yourself and being conceited. To have healthy self esteem means that you like yourself (flaws and all) most of the time. You can have okay self esteem and still have those moments when you doubt yourself. Self esteem is learned and that is good news for us. We have the ability to train ourselves to have healthier self esteem. Attaining healthier self esteem is not

a quick fix, but an ongoing process of personal growth. For personal growth and healthier self esteem, try the following: -Reprogram your brain to think, ‘I can and I will’. Believe that you are good and kind. Never put yourself down and don’t let others do that either. -Try new things, no matter the outcome. No one is an expert on their first try. -Avoid fixating on the past. Each one of us has a past. It is just that… passed. One of the unhealthiest approaches to being you is to make the decision to be defined by one particular moment or period in time. -Get in touch with your inner child. This does not mean that you need to eat mud pies; it simply means allowing yourself to have some fun and be happy in the moment. Children don’t worry about “fitting in”. They are not worried that others view them as silly. -Become more aware of your thoughts.

Only when you becoming aware of what you are thinking, can you challenge and change your thinking. -Lastly, relax. Laugh at yourself a little. Laughter truly is the best medicine. Low self esteem doesn’t just happen overnight. It has robbed little bits of you over time. Now is your time to take back what low self esteem has stolen from you. It is possible to “just be yourself ”. Be yourself by celebrating your individually. Learn to express yourself and be happy with the person you have become. For some, being yourself means not hiding who you are or changing things about yourself to fit in. Just be yourself no one else is fully qualified. 0027 Martha Chown Mental Health Facilitator/ Coordinator

If you were to ask Mary Norrad why after ten years she still loves coming to work at The General Store Emporium she would be quick to tell you “I love the atmosphere of the store. It has a calming effect and is a great place to spend time, even if you are working.” The store

is celebrating a 10th anniversary on May 6th, a milestone only about one-third of small businesses reach, and is continuing to grow in both customers and product line. A unique co-operative started by just a handful of local people, the Emporium now houses about 70 local merchants and crafts people. The wide variety of locally made crafts as well as one-of-a-kind antiques and collectibles makes The General Store Emporium the go-to place for anyone seeking a unique gift for a special occasion. Customers come from far and wide to enjoy the warm inviting atmosphere and browse through the ever changing inventory. The store came about almost by accident. Mary was closing the children’s book store she had operated from that location and was looking at her options for the building. She explains:

Congratulations to The General Store on their 10th Anniversary!


“I was going to lease it, but the several people who looked at it were going to gut the insides, which meant removing over 100 years of history, and I didn’t want to see that happen.” Instead, some people suggested a co-operative of local merchants would be a good fit for the space and the idea took off. From those first few local crafters and merchants to the broad variety offered today, Mary has never looked back. She is continually looking for additional crafters and items that will add to the selection and loves the energy and excitement. As she says, “There is something different coming into the store every day so it’s almost like Christmas morning when I see all the wonderful new things the crafters have created, or the unusual items the antique and collectible vendors have found.” You will be amazed at the variety, including hand crafted items such as baby clothes, hats, scarves, sweaters, mittens, jewellery, pottery, paintings, photography, soap, bees wax and soy candles, wood working, vintage jewellery, purses, glassware, tea cups, hand spun yarns, Watkins products, silver and crystal ware, antiques and various collectibles. Plus, for the book lover, a gently used book library including fiction, military, inspirational and children’s

books, as well as new books by New Brunswick authors. Not only is this a beautiful store, it also gives people the chance to support their neighbours and their community by spending their dollars right here at home. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this would be a great time for a visit to the Emporium.

WHY DO PEOPLE STAY IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS?

Do you know someone in an abusive relationship? It can be frustrating and difficult to understand why they may be staying. Leaving an abusive partner is a difficult process, and usually takes several attempts. Survivors may fear escalated abuse towards them or their children. They may have to leave behind their belongings and pets, and may fear they will lose access to their children. They may depend on the abusive partner financially, and be unable to get housing on their own. In some cases, they may lose their job, and may lose the support of family and friends in the process of leaving. Abusive relationships tend to be isolating and cause a loss of self-esteem and independence. It takes time to find

the support needed to rebuild their lives, and to make sense of what has happened. They may feel a deep sense of shame about exposing the reality of their life with their partner. Survivors may feel genuine love for their partner. The relationship may seem healthy and supportive in between incidents of abuse, giving hope that the abuser will change. Shaming survivors and telling them what to do will not help. Be supportive and non-judgmental. Ask what you can do to help. We all have unique skills and challenges in our lives, and each person knows their own situation best. If ossekeag.ca you suspect that you are being abused or just need to talk, call the Domestic Violence Outreach Coordinator at 4336579. 4034

ASK MARy COMMUNITy CLASSIFIEDS WHAT TO SAY… WHAT TO DO! We all know someone who has lost a loved one or who has just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. You think “What am I going to say?” or “How am I going to help?” The funny thing is that as soon as they hear your voice, your connection kicks in and your conversation will flow as it always has. You have a relationship, a past that includes memories, friends and shared experiences. You will be so glad that you picked up the phone and just called. It can be as easy as just Saying “I’m sorry it took me so long to call, but I didn’t know what to say”. That’s all you have to say because they will just be happy to hear from you. Don’t be afraid that you won’t get it right – is there even a “right” way to say things! My own experiences have led me to determine that they need someone to talk to, offers of assistance and sincere expressions of caring. You can cook,

shop, arrange for a day out, etc., to give them more time to do what they really want to do. Call them often so that they have someone to share their feelings with. Write them a note or send a card. Include a warm, caring or interesting fact about something they are interested in or recall a shared memory. Be specific when offering help. Volunteer to shop, do laundry, bring dinner or drive them around to do their errands. Remember your help will be even more valuable as time passes and people stop calling. Think about their hobbies and try to get them involved in them, once they are up to it. Ask them to join you for a walk or a meal once a week. Keep trying and don’t take it personal if your friend rebuffs offers or doesn’t return your calls because they are feeling ill. Listen well and unless you are asked for your advice, don’t be quick to offer it. Their life was changed forever when they

were diagnosed with a terminal illness. Allow them to come to terms with it at their own pace and if they want to talk about their illness and possible death then let them. Don’t just say “call me if you need anything” instead bring them what they need and just do what you think needs being done – mow the lawn, do their chores or cook a meal. You can use your creativity to figure out what they may need, but sometimes deeds and words aren’t even necessary. A look, a hug, a touch or just being there can say it all.
