Goodbyes and Hellos Spring has sprung and with it comes many changes. As always people are beginning to get that itch to clean house, straighten up their yard, dream of their garden and plan summer vacations. One could say that Ossekeag Publishing has undergone a spring overhaul; we have changed our distribution and our locations all within the span of one month! After much consideration we will no longer be mailing out our publications. As one can imagine this was not a decision we made lightly; however in order to ensure we that we are able to continue providing a quality product, available without cost to our readers, we believe it is the right move for our company. As always, the publications will be free for pick-up at the locations listed on the website and in each issue. For those readers who would prefer the convenience of delivery, we would be happy to accommodate. For lack of a better term, we offer a paid subscription to cover the costs of postage and an envelope - there is no fee for the publication and we are not making money on the subscription. We also moved from Hampton to Sussex; the move felt like coming home for Kevin and me since we both grew up in the area. Kevin also runs two other businesses in Sussex and we are raising our family in Sussex Corner. For these purely selfish reasons I embraced the change in locations, however; moving has also provided us with the opportunity to have a closer look at our goals and dreams while
deciding what parts of our history to keep and which aspects to retire. The hardest part about the move - other than the actual process of packing, unpacking and repacking that is - would be saying goodbye to Hampton. The community of Hampton has been home to Ossekeag Publishing for almost 36 years. Kevin and I were welcomed with all the warmth and small town charm the community is known for and the town quickly became our home away from home. We would like to take the opportunity to thank Gary Crossman for his kind words and best wishes, the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce for all of their support and, of course, the residents of Hampton for making us feel welcome. With an eye for the future the staff of Ossekeag is slowly unpacking and quickly falling in love with the character of our new locale. Thus far we have kept things minimalistic in the office with only calendars and clocks on the wall. We are all in agreement that the move to Sussex is the start of new beginnings and we are keeping a bit of a blank slate until we see in which direction this journey will take us. 0001

TENDING TO MY PATCH GOING GREEN IN THE GARDEN How easy is it to garden using natural or organic techniques? The answer is that it’s actually easier than conventional gardening! Why? Once you begin practicing natural or organic methods, you will quickly realize that everything has to do with the soil: basically organic soil building. Once your soil is healthy, the time, maintenance and frustrations of gardening will actually go down. Most garden failures are caused by poor soil, so by improving the fertility of the soil, the gardener prevents the major cause of poor gardening results. A natural/organic gardener uses natural minerals and organic materials to build up the soil. Compost is by far the best fertilizer for your soil. Compost is the soil’s food. As we all know, it is of the utmost importance to recycle and sort our garbage. Why not use your organic waste to start your “Own Backyard Composting” project? Backyard composting is the most environmentally friendly way to deal with organic waste. If you have bugs in your garden, find out
what they are. The same is true about plant diseases. There are many books, and websites to help you identify your insects. In fact, over 95% of the insects in your garden are either beneficial or cause no harm. Some, like bees and butterflies, are vital to the fertilization process for plants. Most ant species simply collect weed seeds and insect eggs and are known as nature’s vacuum cleaners. Centipedes prey on slugs and snails, dragonflies eat mosquitoes and aphids, and the common ground beetle feeds on cutworms. Lady bugs, spiders, lacewings and even some types of mites are also natural “pest control” species that should definitely be welcomed into your garden. The first thing to remember is to spottreat the problem, rather than trying to spray and treat your entire garden. Second, good old water is one of the most effective weapons. Select a control measure that targets the pest. For instance, use natural bait that is poisonous for ants that you know they
will carry back to their nest and feed to their queen. This won’t kill them right away, but if you are patient, you will find that the whole mound will be dead in a week or two. Take sugar and mix in some borax – not too much, or they’ll either detect it or die before reaching the colony. As Garden Centers we are in a position to offer many alternatives and information to our customers.By trying some or all of natural/ organic practices we can all help reduce our carbon footprint on the Environment, and “Enjoy the Fruits of our Labor”. 0034

Did you know that oxidation occurs when heat and oxygen combine which will break down even the highest quality vehicle paint? This is why paint protection is so important for your vehicle’s finish. Providing a protection with our premium carnauba or Teflon wax is highly recommended as this provides a protection layer over your paint. It’s all in the detail - As with the exterior, the interior has suffered equally harsh conditions. Car mats and floors are filled with road salt. Seats and carpets are covered in stains and grime, while your dashboard is concealed in a layer of dust. Clean out the trunk. The trunk tends to act as a general storage facility housing everything from hockey gear to shovels, and any other winter items you’ll no longer use. Hydrate Your Car For Spring - You aren’t the only one who needs to refuel to prepare for spring – your car does, too! Be sure to check the levels of all vital fluids. You will be delighted that no significant areas are overlooked. We offer many other services as well which include headlight restoration, engine detailing, powder coating, polishing, rim refinishing and rim repair. susxtire@nb.aibn.com

EXERCISE FOR HEALTH SPRING Spring! A Perfect opportunity for new beginnings or another chance at a new starting point. Celebrate and appreciate all that you have accomplished this winter. After a little reflection it’s time to re-evaluate your health and fitness. Make fitness your passion focus on one area you want to improve and the other supporting activities will follow suit. You want to get your steps in so you park farther away from your destination, you want to drink more water so you begin your day with a glass, trying to eat healthier so you pack an apple in your lunch instead of a cookie. Celebrate your milestones with others. Less cream and sugar in your coffee for a whole week tell someone who is supportive of your efforts, they will want to know how far you have come and give a little supportive comment. Lifting a little more weight with your biceps, great. Those lunges
have gotten a little lower, wonderful. There is some satisfaction in someone else noticing that you have made a difference especially after all the hard work and time it has taken to get where you are now. Some of your progress can be unexpected, hey my knees didn’t hurt when I walked upstairs, shovelling the walkway didn’t leave you winded, carrying the groceries from the car didn’t hurt your shoulder, that blue jacket that had to be unbuttoned when you sat down has a little extra room in it now. People think it is a boring or grueling activity to exercise daily or constantly watch the food you eat but sometimes routine is the secret to control. It isn’t always the baby that kept the weight on you it is the fact that you are all of a sudden at home able to nibble on whatever and whenever you want. Many dream of retirement then when they get there it is like “what happened” why am I gaining weight?
Thank You
The Family of the late Francis John Payne of Hillsdale, wish to express a sincere thank you to family and friends for the love and compassion shown, as we grieve the loss of a son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather and friend. A special thank you to Father Dan for officiating and a special thanks to Niece, Carmen Meehan for the eulogy. Thank you to all who sent flowers, cards, food and made donations in Frank’s memory. Many thanks to the Nurses, Doctors and Staff at the Sussex Health Centre for their great care, Nurses and Doctors and Staff of the Saint John Regional Emergency Ward for their care, also Kiwanis Nursing Home for their care. Thank you to Wallace Funeral Home service and care. Special thanks to Sarah Baldwin for her care and kindness. In lieu of cards, a donation will be made to the Sussex Health Centre.

Your life has changed routine is gone so is organized eating. Why shouldn’t you do what you want, eat what, where and how you want. Retirement can also make you more sedentary, sleep in, watch that TV show you’ve always wanted to see, stay in your jammies there’s nowhere you have to be you don’t answer to anybody but you! All these thing are true and you earned the right but do you really want to just lay around and eat? There is always someone out there that could use a workout or walking partner, get out it is Spring! 0046

WELL RESTED HIDDEN SIGNS OF SLEEP APNEA
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) awareness is on the rise. OSA is a common condition in which breathing is interrupted while you sleep. This results in very disturbed sleep, cardiovascular problems and even depression. The most common symptoms of OSA are snoring and daytime sleepiness. There are some other signs that should send up a red flag that you or a loved one may have OSA. Grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw - Some people with OSA will do this in order to move the jaw forward, opening the airway to allow more air. Morning Headaches - Clenching can cause morning headaches and so can the dangerous drops in oxygen levels that occur while you sleep. Morning congestion - a stuffy nose or sore, dry throat might indicate you are struggling to breathe at night. Heartburn or acid reflux - Snoring or pauses in your breathing can cause acid to splash up into your esophagus and throat while you sleep. This can be helped
or cured with treatment of sleep apnea. Waking at the same time each night or Insomnia - As your brain moves through the different stages of sleep, your muscle tone changes. You may be waking yourself up at the same time when you stop breathing, without realizing the cause for the awakening. Bathroom trips - The effects of stopping breathing on the heart and kidneys actually make you produce more urine. Treatment can cut your trips to the bathroom dramatically. If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor. A sleep study and treatment may be just the thing to get your sleep back on track. 0038 Angie Cummings, BSc RRT, Sussex Sleep Clinic

Police Awareness PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM FRAUD
There’s a saying: that if something appears too good to be true, it probably is. These days though, it can be tricky to separate out legitimate transactions from the fraudulent ones that seem to be everywhere. It can be especially challenging for seniors and their families to ensure they’re well protected from the increasingly sophisticated scams that are constantly appearing. Fortunately, there are some simple steps everyone can take to reduce their risk. One of the first things you should look at is how well your personal information is protected from anyone trying to pretend they’re you to gain access to money and credit. Identity theft is a crime that can have lasting repercussions on your finances and credit, and you
may be on the hook for fraudulent purchases. Personal information should never be shared unless absolutely necessary. This includes: your bank account numbers, passwords, date of birth, social insurance number, your mother’s maiden name, your address or phone number. Remember, the more information a fraudster has, the easier it is for them to pretend to be you. Fraudsters can be very creative and savvy when it comes to finding your information – they may steal your wallet or purse, but they may also take your mail, go through your garbage, or try to get your electronic information through emails with phony links or viruses. Always shred anything with your name, address or personal information on
it before putting it in the garbage or recycling and be sure to report suspicious activity around your mailbox or if you’re missing items you expected to receive. If you lose your wallet or purse, cancel your credit and debit cards as soon as possible and file a police report. Do not try to open emails you don’t recognize, and never click on suspicious-looking links, even if they come from a close friend – their email address may have been hacked. Another important way to protect yourself and others from fraud is to recognize the warning signs of a scam., There are some telltale signs that all may not be as it appears. One of the hallmarks of a scam is pressure and threats – the scammer will be trying to bully you into sending money as quickly as possible, before you have time to think about it or consult anyone else. When in doubt, hang up and call your financial institution or the government agency using a phone number from a reputable source – not one given to you by the caller. If it’s a business, do some research to see if they’re trustworthy before committing to anything. A credible organization will never get angry with you for wanting to verify that they’re legitimate.

You can sometimes spot a scam simply by taking a closer look at where the message is coming from. A call or text from a province or international country where you don’t have any family, friends or business connections is generally a good reason to be skeptical. Similarly, a closer look at an email addresses can also tip you off about a potential scam. For example, a false email address may look like a legitimate government agency or financial institution, but might have some warning signs such as bad spelling, extra letters, or end in without opening them, and never domains such as gmail.com. click on a suspicious link. Some viruses can infect your computer When possible, avoiding opening just by opening an infected email, texts or answering calls related to or by clicking a link. scams. If fraudsters realize they can reach someone through your If you have loved ones who are number, you’ll likely get more calls seniors or in vulnerable positions, and texts about dubious schemes. check in with them regularly to Be sure to delete scam emails ensure they’re doing all they can to
protect themselves from frauds and scams. Seniors are particularly at risk from so-called romance scams, where someone attempts to gain their affection and trust to bilk them out of money – in 2016, Canadian seniors lost $8.8-million dollars to such frauds. Stay in touch with them about any new relationships, and be sure to talk about your concerns if you see warning signs. If you or a loved one is the victim of a fraud, call police. If you receive solicitation from something you suspect is a fraud, please report it to your local police and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. Cst.

LEGAL EAGLE INJURED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, here are three things you should do. Everyone has either been or knows someone injured in a motor vehicle accident. Fortunately, all drivers have mandatory motor vehicle insurance to cover them in such an event. In my practice, I regularly see clients seeking guidance on what they should be doing after they have been injured in an accident. Although every case is unique, here are three things you should consider if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident. First, either go to the hospital or go see your family doctor. Many people, especially if they have a soft tissue injury such as a sore back or sore neck, tend to be
stoic and just “suck up” the pain. However, this can cause you legal troubles down the road. Going to see a doctor or going to the hospital sets up the paper trail so that insurers an adequately and accurately assess the extent of your injuries. Second, contact your insurer. If you are injured, your insurance policy will provide a variety of coverage, including replacing a portion of your lost wages for time missed at work, physiotherapy or chiropractic treatment and coverage for prescribed medication. If you are injured by someone else in a car accident, you will also have a claim against the other driver’s insurer. This leads to my third point: contact your lawyer.
If you are injured through no fault of your own, you are entitled to be compensated from the other driver’s insurer for losses not covered by your insurance policy. This includes being entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. Having the right lawyer will help inform you of your entitlement and can help you navigate the process of dealing with insurers and obtaining fair compensation for Steven Veniot your losses. 0047 Gorman Nason Lawyers

THE CRAYON BOX SHATTERING THE GLASS CEILING My first interview was with Alaina Lockhart, the Member of Parliament representing Fundy Royal. She is the second Liberal to be elected by our riding, and the first woman. Mrs. Lockhart has always been active in her community, from running her own bridal boutique to being a member of the Norton municipal council. She decided to run for the MP position because she wanted to make a difference and create a better Fundy Royal. Alaina feels that it is important to make sure that the citizens of New Brunswick have access to the government and that our voices are heard. “Part of my job is to fight for our piece of the pie,” she said at one point. She dreams of a New Brunswick that the youth can live in, one where they can do what they have always aspired to do. Many young people in New Brunswick sometimes feel as though it’s simply not possible to live here, Alaina wants to change that. During our talk, One issue Alaina brought up was immigration. Our population is both declining and ageing which is impacting on our economy. A smaller population means fewer workers, which in turn means less growth for our local businesses. She was very clear in saying that although immigration is not the entire solution, it is part of the solution. To help with this process, Alaina introduced Bill M-39: Immigration as a Means of Growth in Atlantic Canada, a bill which passed unanimously. It calls for research on how we can use immigration to increase
our population and what effects this will have. Alaina says that this pilot project on immigration will help the government figure out how to handle immigration not only in the Maritimes, but throughout all of Canada. In Alaina’s own words, “If we can do it here, we can do it anywhere.” Since Alaina is the Parliamentary Secretary for Small Business and Tourism, the subject of the Liberal’s proposed tax reforms inevitably came up. The initial proposals by the Liberal government left many small business owners feeling concerned. Alaina said that she thought it was good of the business owners to voice these concerns, because the public backlash made people pay attention to the issue. With more people involved and providing opinions, the government felt it could produce legislation that met the needs of everyone involved. Alaina mentioned that she met with many small business owners in the region and from that data, wrote a 500 page document which was given to the Finance Minister. We discussed the perception that politicians frequently go back on their word. Alaina said that she wished this wasn’t seen as a negative, as politics is an art of compromise and politicians will change their plans in order to create better legislation. She also stressed the importance of politicians engaging with their voter base and said she wished all politicians did that more. She feels as though that human connection is vital to politicians staying in touch with what their
constituents want them to do as well as what the riding needs. She says that while social media is okay, it’s not the best place to have wholesome conversations. She tries not to be combative, and will often offer to meet in person, to better hear suggestions. She feels that it is important to hear opinions other than one’s own. Mrs. Lockhart offered this piece of advice for youth: Take initiative and never be afraid to reach out. People want to empower the youth. And finally, after much consideration, Alaina decided that if she was a crayon, she would be black. She admitted this was an odd choice, but said she chose black because in the same way that black is all the colours coming together, she wanted to be the representation of the many opinions of her constituents coming together. 0011

DIRECTOR’S NOTES NOTES FROM IMPERIAL MAY 2018 Here is something you may not know about Imperial Theatre. I realize you may not know because you have your own life, job, family, hobbies, etc, etc. to think about and the full details of Imperial Theatre (beyond what show you want to see) are not top of mind. Totally understandable. I work at the theatre so of course it’s important to me. Here is it. Oh no…I fear now that I may have built this up much more than was in any way necessary. Temper your expectations please. Here goes. You may not know that Imperial Theatre, while being open all year long, presents our very own Season of shows from September to May annually. These are shows that our Executive Director (Angela Campbell) curates and contracts directly on behalf of Imperial. Now, from the audience perspective it really is all the same to you, but for us these shows
hold a special place. These shows have been chosen specifically to meet a need that we want to help to fill in the city; the need for professional, alternative dance, theatre, music, comedy and more. For Angela and all of us this is an important mission. She likes to say that she wants our region to be able to experience arts right here at home rather than having to travel to Toronto, Montreal or NYC. Of course, we realize that really big shows cannot be staged in a theatre that holds just 850+ but whenever possible, we work to get the best of the best for you. I mention this because as we get close to wrapping up Season 24 it makes me look back at our year with you and take stock. I’d say it’s like the end of the school year but that’s fun and this is a bit of a bummer. I’m sad to see another season end but…excited for the next one. Feelings are mixed.
CROSSWORD
You have taken so many chances on new things this season and come out to show your support even when you probably were not so sure. A small theatre piece about aging (Victoria) is not exactly blockbuster bait, but you came anyway. We took a chance on a young theatre company from Mumbai (A Passage to Bollywood) and you came out en masse. We offered another annual Mystery Concert (Rosie & The Riveters) and you just kept on taking chances. You really do rock. So as we wind up another season we all want to say a sincere THANK YOU. Thank you for sticking with us. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for coming to the theatre. Keep up the good work. 0030 Here’s to Season 25. B. xo Bethany Stout

Kidzone WRITING CONTEST WINNER - SUPER TURTLE There once was a turtle with a lot of friends. When ever they were in trouble they called him. But he had a weakness: he couldn’t jump or fly. One day he was minding his own business when CRASH he saw a Super Villain fly out of a bank window. Quickly he found a dumpster and a few minutes later out came super turtle! He ran after the Super Villain. He ran for miles and then he came to a corn maze and at the other end was the bad guy. So he went through the corn maze. He was a very smart turtle. So he got through the maze very quickly. But when he got to the other side the bad guy was gone. So he decided to try to fly or at least jump. He bent his
legs and took off. He started to fall, so he put his arms out and screamed. He started plunging to the ground and the next minute he was behind the bad guy. The bad guy saw him and used his laser eyes to knock Super turtle out of the sky. But super turtle wouldn’t quit. He used his shell to block the lasers and then they had a big bad battle. But you don’t need to know about it and like all stories with super heros and bad guys the super hero wins. I am getting distracted so Super turtle takes the bad guy to jail and stuff. This story has a moral: “Don’t give up”. The End This wonderful story was written by Silas.
