On Our Cover

Valentine’s Day is an exciting time when children are busy making Valentine’s to take to school. They may also be doing something special for their parents, grandparents or someone special in their lives. For me, a cherished Valentine’s Day memory was when my son was seven years old. Matthew and my husband, Robert, were busy talking and I was not allowed to be in the room. They then announced they were going out, I wasn’t invited and off they went. They had something up their sleeves, I just knew it. A while later I heard the two of them in the backyard. They were talking, laughing, and having a great time outside on what was a beautiful February afternoon. Curious as to what they were up to, I looked out the window to see my son busy shovelling a path in the deep snow. When he had almost shovelled to the ground, he began stomping the remaining snow with his feet. I watched and thought what is Matthew doing? I could see he was determined to do whatever he was doing by himself as he wouldn’t let his father help. He had a plan and the intense look on his face told me he was determined to see it through. Time passed. I tried to go outside, but was quickly told by both Matthew and my husband that I had to stay inside. At least three hours passed before Matthew came into the house, looking

very tired but excited as well. I needed to come outside right away as he had a surprise for me. Surprise me he did! The backyard to our home was a giant heart that Matthew had stomped into the snow. The heart was bright pink made from Cream Soda that had been painstakingly applied with a spray bottle. From the centre of the heart, three Valentine’s Day balloons swayed gently in the breeze. I cried! How could I not. That evening my husband and I sat on chairs we placed in the middle of the heart, bundled ourselves from the cold, sipped hot chocolate and admired Matthew’s handiwork - while Matthew slept soundly, exhausted from his efforts. New Brunswick winters being what they are, the heart was soon covered in snow, but no amount of snow can bury my cherished memory of the Cream Soda heart. 0001

H & S “MUD RUN FOR HEART” After a successful inaugural event last summer, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick is holding its second annual Mud Run for Heart, a 5 km obstacle run at Poley Mountain Ski Resort, on Saturday, June 25. Designed for all fitness levels, the event was the first of its kind in the province where all funds raised remained in New Brunswick. “Over 400 participants came to Poley Mountain to be challenged and support a great cause,” said Donna Gates, Vice President of Philanthropy & Communications at the Heart and Stroke Foundation of NB. “Our Mud

Run for Heart raised over $85,000 in its first year, largely thanks to the incredible support of Poley Mountain and the entire community.” Also new this year is the addition of a Family Mud Run, which is being sponsored by NB EMS. This will be a 2 km run with obstacles appropriate for both parents and children under the age of 14. Registration is now open. The Foundation is offering an early registration rate of $65 (also new this year) for the 5 km course until April 24. Participants registering after that date, including those registering onsite, will pay $75. Participants can select if they would like to race competitively, or recreationally in the 5 km run or as a family in the 2 km run. The cost of the Family Mud Run presented by NB EMS is $30 per participant from now until the event date. To register or to find out more, visit: mudrunforheart. com or coursedanslaboue.com. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick’s mission is Healthy Lives Free of Heart Disease and Stroke. A volunteer-based health charity, we strive to tangibly improve the health of every New Brunswick family, every day. 3895

SUSSEX CHAMBER MEETING UPDATE Members of the Sussex & District Chamber of Commerce gave a warm, snowy welcome to Sylvia MacVey, President of G.E. Barbour Ltd. We have been showcasing local businesses to let people know the good things that are happening around Sussex. Our community has had lots of bad news in the past couple of weeks and we want to bring some good news. Sylvia started out by giving us some history of the G.E. Barbour Company. She is part of the third generation of the Brenan family who purchased Barbour’s in 1952, their best known brands being King Cole Tea, Barbour’s spices and peanut butter. They will be celebrating their 150th birthday next year, a milestone. In 2011, the family owned business changed senior management and focus with growth and expansion being the forefront, focussing on value, quality and service, selling their capabilities and export development with new products, markets and customers. “We started with a strategic plan that involved every single person in

the company. One of the big things we had to look at was company inefficiencies. It is hard to be efficient when so many products have to be imported with high transportation costs. We made adjustments where we could and worked on customer service and developing new products” Sylvia explained. “We have always been famous for our master tea blender and taster on staff and are quite famous for our blend of teas. There has been significant growth primarily in nut butters as customers are branching out into natural health foods” she continued. Between 2011 and 2015 Barbour’s achieved a 260 percent growth with the work force growing from 83 to 110. That is a huge success to be celebrated in the stagnant economy of our day. “Our future will be to continue expansion throughout North America with specialty and naturally organic value added products. There are many opportunities in the export market and we need to continually evolve to meet the changing business demands.

Opportunities abound in New Brunswick, we need to tell our story loudly and clearly.” Sylvia concluded. 3918

WELL RESTED PREGNANCY AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in a woman’s life. You are seeing changes in your body, feeling the baby move and getting your home and family prepared for the new addition. Some aspects of pregnancy are not so pleasant, such and heartburn, extra weight gain and sleep disturbances. Getting comfortable during sleep can be a real problem when you are pregnant. Your growing body can be difficult to maneuver and onset of Restless Legs Syndrome can happen during pregnancy. Another common and dangerous condition is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a common breathing disorder marked by heavy snoring, pauses in breathing, gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other factors in OSA include morning headaches, a large neck, being overweight and high blood pressure. Pregnant women at risk for developing OSA are those who are already overweight or obese, or who have gained excessive weight while pregnant. The extra weight around your neck can cause your throat

to close off during sleep. Those with gestational diabetes or high blood pressure are at higher risk, as are those with allergies and nasal congestion commonly caused by higher estrogen levels of pregnancy. OSA causes lowered oxygen levels and increased inflammatory processes during sleep. The associated risks of having untreated OSA during pregnancy include gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. These conditions are very dangerous for mum and baby. Mums with sleep apnea are three times more likely to have a caesarean section, have smaller babies which are more likely to be admitted to the Neonatal ICU for breathing problems. You most likely will not notice that you are stopping breathing at night, but your bed partner will notice increased snoring and even cessations in breathing at times. You may feel more tired during the day and even doze off at times. If you think you have sleep apnea, or having started snoring since being pregnant and especially if you have high blood pressure, discuss this with your

doctor. You should be tested. This can be done in the sleep lab, or done in your home with a simple device. Sleep apnea can be treated very effectively to keep you breathing through the night for you and your baby. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard of treatment. You wear a little mask over your nose and is blows air in while you sleep to keep you throat opened. There are also dental appliances and body positioning devices that may be helpful as well. Be sure to get this looked after as soon as you suspect there may be a problem. You want your pregnancy to be a joyous and healthy time for you and your baby. 0038

EMERGENCY MEASURES WINTER VEHICLE SURVIVAL KIT The US Blizzard of January 2016, impacted over 80 million Americans, cancelled thousands of aircraft flights, and stranded thousands of people in their vehicles, for up to thirty hours. This article is going to provide additional details on the vehicle kit so if you are caught in your vehicle you can “Be Prepared -Not Scared”. Your body needs water to burn calories to keep you warm. Plastic water bottles are best as the plastic can expand and reduce the chances of leaks or exploding if they freeze. Plan to have two liters of water per person per day. Replace every six months. Your body will be burning extra calories to keep you warm. Food such as nutrition bars, sugar packages, trail mix, unsalted nuts, fruit cups in syrup, crackers, peanut butter and jams (both in plastic containers) can be placed inside large resealable food bags. These are then placed inside a plastic tote container for ease of storage. I place the same 6-month

The Sussex Herald

expiry date on the totes’ top. Meals ready to eat are available on the Internet and one company offers a selfheating package for making hot food available after 12 minutes. They are expensive but offer of shelf life of years. I found them tasty when I have had to eat them. A windup radio allows you to listen to news broadcasts. A windup flashlight provides illumination when needed and removes the requirement for batteries. Vehicle power chargers for your cell phone and electronic devices are available at many department or electronics stores. They can be used when you are running your engines for heat. Emergency responders recommend that you run your engine for only 10 minutes every hour. You must ensure that your vehicle exhaust is clear of snow. Carbon monoxide has killed people who have run their engine and did not clear the exhaust. Open a non-wind side window about an

inch when running your engine. A wide candle and matches can be stored inside a large metal can such as a coffee can. It can be placed inside the can and lit. This can provide some additional heat or even to warm up a cup of water. Again open up that window a little. Emergency reflective blankets are easily available and provide a reflective heat barrier for your body heat. A large amount of heat leaves through the top of your head so, as my grandmother said “if your feet are cold put on your hat”. These points will help take care of you if you are stranded in your vehicle. My next article will cover additional details on items for your vehicle that can help you avoid being stranded. 0039 Brian Shanks CD, BA, MEP, DTM

BELLEISLE WINTERFEST The Farmers’ Almanac may be saying it will be the warmest winter yet, but around the end of February, will be the coldest period this year and that is exactly what the Belleisle Watershed Coalition is hoping. Pancakes in the morning, snowman making, smelt fishing, ice skating and square dancing in the evening will be activities for Winterfest on the Belleisle, Saturday, February 27. Belleisle Winterfest is the kick-off of the second Belleisle Bay Ice-Break-Up Contest. Last year, Sean Reynolds of Kiersteadville won $500 for guessing when the ice would leave Belleisle Bay. The red and white flag pole will be hoisted on to the ice off the wharf on February 27 and tickets – a Toonie each, will be on sale. Last year when the ice broke up, the flag pole was last seen at 7:48pm on Sunday, April 26. The earliest date for ice-break-up was March 26 in 2012. This year, the fun starts at 8:30 to 10:00am at the Belleisle Community Centre in Springfield with a hearty breakfast of pancakes, sausages and home baked beans. $8/adults, $5/children 12 and under, under 5 years, no charge. On the way to the Hatfield Point wharf, stop and build a snowman in the Gillis Winery parking area, west on Rte 124. Take a ski or a snowshoe trek through the new trail, and at the wharf - skate or fish for smelt. The Smelt Fishing Derby has cash and gift prizes for all categories and all ages, totalling over $400; including gift cards, hockey bags, car accessories. The fee for the Smelt Derby, which begins at 9:00am and continues to 4:00pm, is $15/adults and $5/children under 12. Registration begins at 8:30am at Pleasantview, the hotel at the wharf. Once a weekly event and back for a

one night stand, square dancing at the Springfield Community Centre begins at 8:00pm. Caller and coaches, for the left footed, are Chris and Ruth Ayers. The dance will cap-off Belleisle WinterFest.

Q: What can bankruptcy do for me? A: Most people focus on the negative aspects

of bankruptcy. However, our bankruptcy laws are intended to provide a number of benefits to an “honest, but unfortunate” debtor. The Bankruptcy laws can: • Give you a fresh financial start by eliminating the legal obligation to pay most or all of your debts. • Prevent or delay a creditor from repossessing a vehicle or other property. • Stop wage garnishments and other legal proceedings by creditors. • Stop collection calls. • Prevent the termination of utility services, such as telephone and hydro. • Provide financial counselling to help you with budgeting and cash management skills. Of course, some conditions apply to these benefits and you will need to get advice from the Trustee on your particular situation. Our Bankruptcy laws were designed to provide Canadians with the opportunity to recover from a financial burden they cannot reasonably carry and to protect their rights as well as the rights of their creditors. The laws are not penal but are rehabilitative in nature. If a bankruptcy or proposal is the right financial option for you, you should not worry about being punished, embarrassed or criticized for seeking the protection it affords you. We are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your options and help you get a FreshStart! Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty. Additional information can be obtained on our website or by contacting our office. Wayne Weber, CA, CIRP, Trustee in Bankruptcy

PROVINCE-WIDE PLAYWRITING CONTEST The NotaBle Acts Theatre Company is once again searching for great plays by New Brunswick writers for its annual province-wide Playwriting Competition. NotaBle Acts is celebrating its 15th Anniversary in 2016. In that time, the company has presented over 184 new plays by 94 different New Brunswick

playwrights at its annual summer theatre festival. If you’d like to add to those numbers and be part of this year’s lineup, NotaBle Acts invites submissions in three separate categories. The Site-Specific series seeks three 15-30 minute scripts, to be set in unconventional public locations in Fredericton.

In addition to having their work produced at the festival, all winning playwrights will receive script support from an established New Brunswick playwright and cash prizes of $150 for the Site-Specific series and $100 for Taking it to the Street. Winners of Acting Out will receive a $200 prize. Writers interested in entering the contest should consult the full contest rules and guidelines at: nbacts.com.

DO YOU LIKE TO WRITE? Do you love broccoli? How about pole vaulting! Downhill ice cross racing! Long walks on the beach. Arm wrestling butterflies (OK, now I'm just being silly ... but, you never know) Whatever your passion, we want to hear about it. Well, actually, no. We don't! What we want is for you to write about it so everyone else can read about it (us included). If it's of interest to you, it's of interest to us and our guess is it's of interest to a lot of other people as well. It is often said the fear of public speaking is greater than the fear of dying - people would rather die than give a speech. "Public writing" - not even on the list. So, realize your dream of being a published author. Be the envy of your friends, a celebrated celebrity and the topic of stimulating dinner conversations (I may be pushing it a bit here). But, kidding aside, if you have a passion and would like to share it, we want to hear from you. Community newspapers not only report what goes on in the community, but also what the community cares about. If you

care about it, we care about it and we want to give you the opportunity to tell everyone else about it. Not sure what you care about is something we'd care about - you might be surprised. Give us a call at 832-5613 or drop us a line at: info@ossekeag.ca. 3910

WAR AMPS “KEY TAGS AT WORK” FOR 70 YEARS The War Amps has begun its 2016 key tag mailing, to New Brunswick residents, with the theme “Key Tags at Work,” marking the 70th anniversary of the Association’s Key Tag Service. In the letter accompanying the key tags, a mother describes how The War Amps has provided emotional and financial support to her family, from the day her daughter, Trinity, 11 was born a left leg amputee. Trinity was enrolled in the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program shortly after she was born. Since then, she has received financial assistance for artificial limbs and attended regional seminars where she and her family meet other child amputees and their parents, sharing experiences and exchanging advice.

Trinity loves to dance, ride her bike, swim and play baseball. She also has a specially designed leg for running. “Trinity is one child, but The War Amps programs help amputees across Canada. I want to thank Canadians, on behalf of Trinity, who is able to do what anyone else can - just differently - because of their support of the Key Tag Service,” says mom, Arlene. The Key Tag Service was launched in 1946 so that returning war amputees could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Association’s many programs. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys. Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. Should the keys be lost, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag, or deposit them in any mailbox, and the keys will be returned to the owner by bonded courier. The War Amps does not receive any government grants, its programs are possible through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, or to order key tags, call tollfree 1-800-250-3030 or visit: waramps.ca. 3905

LISTEN IN LOCAL SPOTLIGHT ON JEFF MCGRATH Saint John West resident Jeff McGrath is a sharp dressed (somewhere between James Bond and singer Robert Palmer), 31 year insurance broker and father of two. He is also a singer/songwriter, multi instrumentalist, and producer who recently left the familiar confines of his home studio to venture onto the local live music scene. “Apryll Aileen was a huge reason to be honest, because when she came out of her corporate world and into music full time.” Jeff says in what was part of his inspiration to getting out there musically. “Apryll said; you really need to stop being that guy in his living room. You should get out there and do something about it.” “The “Bad Moon Rising” cover was the big one that we (Jeff & Apryll) did. It has a really cool feel to it” This song is part of a yearlong project where Jeff will release 52 productions containing all covers, collaborations and originals at his home studio in Saint John. Music

has always been a lifetime passion for Jeff and it’s wonderful to hear about this artist coming into his own. “I have been playing music all my life and love writing and producing songs for myself and other artists. I began playing guitar at the age of eight when I found an abandoned Yamaha in my mother's closet. Growing up listening to my parent’s collection of eight-tracks and vinyl I was quickly influenced by artists like Janis Joplin, The Doors & Neil Young to name but a few.” I’m always curious to hear when an artist discovers their own artistic personality apart of from their parents’ record collection (important none the less). “I grew up on Nirvana and those great bands of the 90s. Simple chord stuff. The Beatles, and old records that Mom and Dad had. By the time I was 15-16 years old we could pretty much find anything we wanted on the net, as far as learning how to dissect a song. Music has always been a huge thing for me.”

Jeff elaborates on his own musical discoveries. I’m curious about his plans beyond the “Covers” project and what he hopes to accomplish as a songwriter. “The ultimate vision for me as a songwriter is to create an audience, some hype and some awareness through social media and hit people with something original. There is an original project in the pre-production stage now. The deadline (release) for that is for December, 2016.” Jeff ’s has been playing a residency gig every few weeks at O’Malley’s on Rothesay Avenue. Come on out and see Jeff live and support another local rising star. His next performance there is February 20. 0041

ASK THE CHEF NAME THAT DISH Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. We just launched new menu items here at Holly’s and a few people were asking how we come up with the names for our dishes. I thought it was an interesting question and thought I would share it with you. Cooking has been around as long as fire. Once we realized that we could cook food on that fire, man became stronger and a new evolution began. Escoffier Escoffier, a french chef, modernized food and formatted recipes which popularized and updated traditional french cooking. He is the Chef whom all Chef ’s look to and aspire to become. He wrote many books, but one that we still use today is called “La Repertoire de la Cuisine”. This is a book that defines the names given to food dishes. For example - if you have a dish, which is presented on a bed of cooked spinach, we would call this Florentine. If you had a dish which was cream based,

with onion, mushroom, garlic and garnished with bacon, we would look that up to fine it could be called Carbonara. Before Escoffier, people would call their dish whatever they wanted. So what is in a name? They say never judge a book by it’s cover but does this apply to menu items? We tend to use exotic words or words of a different language to describe a dish. Best example is Calamari. This is an english pronunciation of the japanese “Squid”. Now if you were in a restaurant and saw deep fried squid on the menu, would you order it? Probably not. Now when you see Calamari, you may know it is Squid but it sounds delicious. Chef ’s also like to name dishes after themselves. An interesting story of a chef named Ben Wenburg - he invented a new dish of lobster, butter, cream, cognac, sherry, eggs and cayenne pepper. He named it Lobster a la Wenburg. It became very popular and therefore Ben wanted

RELOCATING TO SASKATCHEWAN?

more money and recognition from his employer. The employer fired him and took the first three letters of Wenburg and reversed them and that it how Lobster Newburg was immortalized. So I don’t know if I cleared up any questions on how we name our dishes because there are many ways to do it but because of Escoffier, we have a format to follow. Because of our egos, we can trace items back to a specific chef and because of some greedy owners we realize it can be taken away as fast as we can create them. In the end, we want to put something in front of our customers which scream yum! I want that! Come down and try my Chef ’s Burger. Best burger in town! 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

1 12 ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces (2 cups) ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk (one-half of a 14-ounce can) 1 tablespoon water ¾ cup chopped walnuts, optional 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions 1. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper; set aside. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate pieces, sweetened condensed milk, and water. 2. Microwave, uncovered, on 100% power (high) for 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 1 minute more, or until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour mixture onto prepared cookie sheet and spread it into a 9x6-inch rectangle, or drop mixture by rounded teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet. 3. Chill fudge about 30 minutes or until ﬁrm. Cut fudge into 1-1/2-inch squares. Makes 24 pieces

Instead of flowers, consider a houseplant or a gift certificate from a garden center that can be redeemed for a real live rose bush, a good fit for an experienced gardener or new home owner alike. Something you can enjoy together is another option, whether a new chesterfield to cuddle up and watch a movie or a game for your XBox to play as a family, the gift you choose can be tailored to your valentine, not someone else’s idea of what is appropriate. Eating out or preparing a meal (don’t forget the wine!) for a beloved is often a great way to make Valentine’s Day special. Perhaps your first date included a meal at a restaurant that you could repeat this year. If your special valentine is real chocolate lover, consider arranging a whole “day of chocolate” with fabulous chocolate treats at every meal! Instead of dinner, perhaps a special lunch when the kids are in school would be appreciated. Another cool idea is a series of cards and/or small gifts throughout the day . . . a delightful way to enjoy the whole day. It may start with a card with morning coffee and finish with one on the pillow at the end of the day, with as many small surprises in between as can be arranged. Or take that traditional dozen roses and have them delivered one at a time at various times throughout the day, each with a special note.

concept of romantic love until the 14th century in England when the reference appeared in a poem by Chaucer written to honour the ﬁrst anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia: For this was on seynt Volantynys day Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make. [“For this was on St. Valentine’s Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his mate.”] While the notion of exchanging valentines and gifts has become a widespread tradition there are other interesting regional traditions associated with Valentine’s Day. In Norfolk,England for instance ‘Jack’ Valentine traditionally knocks on the rear door of houses leaving sweets and presents for children. In some Latin American countries Valentine’s Day is known as “el día de los enamorados” (Day of Lovers) or as “Día del Amor y la Amistad” (Day of Love and Friendship) and may be celebrated by people performing “acts of appreciation” for their friends. In many Asian

countries women give chocolate to men on February 14, and men give non-chocolate candy to women on March 14 (Return Day or White Day). Throughout Valentine’s week, thousands of Filipinos celebrate the season of love by getting married at “mass weddings” involving hundreds of couples making their vows at the same time and in the same place. Regardless of where you are from, the most important thing, beyond the cards, chocolate or gifts, is the gift of time. Turn off the cell phones and spend some quality time with the people you love. That is really what Valentine’s Day is all about. “My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.” ~ Steve Jobs Who better to spend it on than our loved ones?

DIRECTOR’S NOTES DISCOVERING THEATRE Hans Christian Andersen was really on to something in 1843 when he wrote "The Ugly Duckling." Not only is it the prototype for all the "it gets better" messages since, it reminds us all of the importance of giving our offspring the chance to peer into many nests to discover where they might discover their beauty. I think about this story a lot when working on the Imperial Theatre's school programming. Not just because of the worlds that children can see onstage, but because of the world they become part of just by attending the theatre. Some families are into sports, and their kids will have the chance to attend professional games and get a feel for the world of the athlete. They will be encouraged to learn and play sports, and if these are their gifts, they will excel on the playing field. Some families value scholarship and the naturally bookish child will shine there. Some families encourage outdoor pursuits and the junior camper will find their soul reflected in nature. Some families are into the arts, and their children will be offered music and theatre as a path to their future. Life being what it is, it's impossible for any one family to provide all the possible experiences for their children. Sometimes a bookish child is born to a family of artists, or an artist to a family of athletes. Sometimes those children spend years feeling like the

Ugly Duckling, out of step with their nest-mates. This is where schools come in. Teachers have always known the importance of giving children a wide variety of experiences, especially beyond the school grounds. Every "field trip" has the potential to change a child's life. If that seems too dramatic, I can say without doubt that I am only in theatre because my grade seven teacher fought for my class to go on a field trip to Stratford. I had never seen a play of any kind (although I had been on a lot of camping trips) and I doubt that I really understood "Othello" but I got back on the bus knowing that the theatre was the right nest for me. So when I plan out the series of shows we offer every year for elementary, middle and high school students; when the team puts together the materials to send out to schools; when we see those

yellow buses pull up on King Square, I picture that one child who's going to make the same discovery. There are three school shows left in our season. Ramshackle Theatre provides a modern multi-media experience for high school students, "Mistatim" is a beautiful play for middle schoolers about two children reaching beyond their differences, and Sheesham and Lotus take elementary school students on a trip into the past with their old time music. 0030
