RETIREMENT AND NEW BEGINNINGS Kevin and I have been so very fortunate to have had the leadership and steadying presence of Beth Reicker as our editorin-chief, voice of reason and resident den mother for the past twelve months. When we bought Ossekeag Publishing we were full of hopes and dreams, but had little experience with the ins and outs of the day-to-day running of a serial publication. Kevin had experience managing a business and I loved the English language… those were our “qualifications”. Add into the mix that I was expecting our first child and still working full-time for a very busy family lawyer while Kevin typically worked a 60 hour week between his two businesses and his volunteer work, we were fairly reliant on our staff to keep things operating smoothly. Enter Beth - she helped guide me through the ins and outs of editorial copy and deciding what and where to place pictures and reader submissions. She protected the graphics department from my more outlandish ideas and helped develop other thoughts into concrete plans. She helped Shelley become reacquainted with the duties at the front desk and under Beth’s tutelage Shelley has become our Office Manager. Combining wit with wisdom, Beth did all of this - and so much more - despite planning to retire in June. I know that many in her situation would have been content to put in her last few months with minimum fuss, but not Beth. Instead, she approached me in May about delaying her retirement until October so that I could enjoy time at
home with my baby. October became November and then December and Beth was still here, encouraging, guiding and helping Ossekeag truly blossom. Beth and I agreed that she would not be returning after the Christmas break, she would be starting her long postponed retirement; we talked about Beth coming in to cover vacation time and sick days and I had the idea in my head that Beth would still be that mothering presence in the office. In early December, Beth retired. I think a part of me has been in denial since then. On many occasions I have drafted a note for our Facebook page to thank Beth for everything she has done over the past few months in nurturing our dream. Ultimately I decided she deserved so much more than just a Facebook post. Please join me, Kevin and all the staff at Ossekeag Publishing in wishing Beth all the best in her retirement. Beth - I hope you are able to enjoy your grandchildren, spend time pursuing your photography and take that trip to Germany. You are always welcome in the office; when you are not here, you are truly missed. 0001

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALERT Some safety issues to think about. At this time of year we use different ways to keep warm and toasty. We all have smoke detectors but do you have a carbon monoxide alarm? Carbon monoxide is a gas created by a poor combustion process in furnaces, BBQs, stoves and engines. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous; it is invisible, odourless, tasteless, and deadly. You don’t know that it is around you and as it builds up in your system you get groggy and want to sleep, which may mean you are unable to get to safety.
A few things to keep in mind for your and your family’s safety: a normally clean burning device will produce a lot of CO if the air is restricted; a device that is safe in a big old drafty home may not be safe in a small, tightly closed room. (It can’t get enough fresh air); a device that burns cleanly when you initially light it may burn progressively worse and produce more CO as it consumes the oxygen (air) from the room. Install a Carbon Monoxide detector and if it sounds, get help and get to safety! 4843

TENDING TO MY PATCH WHERE DO SEEDS COME FROM? There are many customers who eagerly await the arrival of their seed catalogues in there mailbox, and those of us who will search the Internet for all that is new. After many hours of pondering and decision making we will take our dreams and plans for another gardening season and head to our Local garden centers to purchase the new seed varieties that were listed in many of the seed catalogues that we browsed through. Most Canadians assume that the seeds we purchase are developed and produced here. In most cases, the seeds for the homegrown vegetables and flowers actually come from abroad. Growers and breeders work for large seed wholesalers, where the seeds are grown in controlled climates and their yields are predictable from year to year. Most seeds were harvested last year from United States, Central and South America, Europe and Japan. Seeds that are being imported to Canada are governed
by the Canadian Seed Trade Association. The wholesalers, in turn, sell their seeds to Canadian suppliers, who then package them for distribution to garden centers and mail-order customers. However, some seeds do come prepackaged from foreign suppliers. Seeds that do originate in Canada include heritage varieties and some herb species. Some herbs for example, are collected and harvested in the greenhouse. Some rare herb varieties are collected in rural Asia and Africa. Almost all seeds sold here are Canada #1 or meet federal quality requirements. Why are some seeds more expensive than others? This is determined by the cost of producing the variety; if certain seeds are in short supply due to climatic conditions and other factors, currency fluctuation, and varieties whose tiny seeds are very labor intensive to grow and package. Also, if it’s an outstanding variety, people are willing to pay more. If a certain variety is pushed through magazines and celebrity gardeners the price
usually goes down because companies will make their money on volume sales. When buying seed packages, check to find information such as the germination rate and the year it’s packaged, and planting directions. You will note that each seed company carries many varieties, so therefore you might need to buy from several seed suppliers to get what you want. When you choose to plants seeds you’ve got living, growing proof that spring is not just around the corner, but well established in your basement or on your window ledge. 0034

More than 420 angels were placed on the Sussex Hospice Angels Christmas tree at the Gateway Mall in memory of loved ones during the Annual Angels Remembered Fundraiser campaign over the holiday season. This year’s campaign garnered over $3000 for Hospice Sussex. All proceeds will be used to help Hospice fund its many support programs and services for people and families touched by endof-life issues. Hospice gave assistance to several people and their families this past year in the Sussex area, providing emotional, social, practical, spiritual, and grief support, as well as information and education. Every angel represents a very special memory for our loved ones. Hospice Sussex is grateful to our community for their generosity and to all the volunteers who gave their time to staff the Angels table. Their support made Angels Remembered a success. Because you care, we will care for others when they need it most. 4823
SELF ESTEEM CHANGE, INEVITABLE; GROANING, OPTIONAL Mahatma Gandhi said, Be the change you want to see in the world. I believe he meant that by changing yourself, you can change your perspective of the world. By changing your own thoughts, you have the ability to change how you feel, how you act and how you see things. In doing so, the world around you changes. Not only because you are choosing to see it differently but also because you are allowing yourself to do things differently than you have in the past. Many of us hate change. We view it as 'bad'. However, change is good. Just think... without change, there would be no butterflies and heaven forbid, coffee would still be a bean! We often moan and groan about the world around us. We may think we've changed but complaining only shows that we obviously are still carrying around our negative attitude. Change is difficult for many of us to accept. However, part of growing as
a person requires us to accept that life is constantly changing. No amount of moaning and groaning will stop it. So, how can we accept change? For starters, it helps to embrace our feelings about change. Change can be unsettling. To ignore that fact, makes it impossible to work through and move on. Instead, embrace those unsettling feelings and talk about it with a trusted friend. Understand that change is an inevitable part of life, and change often brings new opportunities. It is easy to get overwhelmed by change but do not allow it to take over your emotions. As an alternative, you can re-frame the situation: ask yourself why you are so bothered and is what you are feeling realistic. Also, be grateful. When we fill our minds with grateful thoughts, there is little room for much else. Start a gratitude journal or simply recite three things that you are grateful for before bed or first thing when you
wake up. Even though change can have a negative effect on your life, in most circumstances, there is always a positive side (if we choose to see it). Yes, change is inevitable and rather than groan about it, each of us can try to view it as a challenge and a chance to grow. Change can be a powerful motivator to help us achieve our goals. The fact is we will be made stronger through change. If at this point you still doubt the benefits of change, I ask that you remember one thing- Coffee! 0027

PAYNE, Nancy Agnes
Nancy was born near Dumfries, Scotland on S e pt e mb e r 21, 1920. In 1929 her family moved to Canada. They spent 2 weeks crossing the Atlantic by ship and landed in Montreal. They took the train to NB and settled on a land grant in Highfield, Queens County. Nancy married her husband, Gordon Payne in 1943 and they were married for 58 years until Gordon passed away in 2001. They settled near the Four Corners and moved to Roachville in 1981 when the four lane highway was built. Gordon and Nancy had three children – John, born in 1944 and Betty Ann, born in 1946. In 1952 there was a polio epidemic in this area and both children died within four days. Their
daughter, Shirley was born three years later. Nancy enjoyed lots of activities. She loved to knit, sew and make quilts. Each of Nancy’s nieces and nephews received a homemade quilt when they were married. She was also a talented Mrs. Fix-It. There was very few things that she wouldn’t try. Nancy loved flowers and gardening. She always had lots of houseplants and a beautiful garden. Nancy was also active in her church, a member of the UCW and the Women’s Institute. In 2006 Nancy sold her home and moved to live with Shirley and Philip. She moved to the Kiwanis Nursing Home in January of 2014. She loved the workers there and they were very good to her. Mrs. Nancy Agnes Payne passed away at the Kiwanis Nursing Home, Sussex on December 22, 2017 at the age of 97. She will live on in the hearts of her daughter, Shirley Keith and her husband, Philip of Roachville and their children, Matthew of Toronto, Steven and his wife, Katelyn of Quispamsis and Jennifer (Nick Morrell) of Roachville, her sister-in- law, Jean Bell of Sussex Corner, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Nancy was predeceased by her husband, Gordon; her children, John and Betty Ann; brothers, George, Jack, Maxwell and Bob Cairns; sisters, Elizabeth Dunnachie, Mary Robbins and Daisy Lockerby; half brothers, William and George Bell: step-brothers, Duncan, David, Jim and Andrew Bell; step-sisters Jean Bell, Isabel Gordon and Catherine McDermott. Visitation was held at Wallace Funeral Home on December 27, 2017 and a celebration of Nancy’s life was held from St. Paul’s United Church, Sussex on December 28, 2017 with Rev. Kelly Hudson-Lewis officiating. Brandon Gardner offered “Amazing Grace” on the bagpipes as the family entered the church. Music was led by Karen Gallagher and St. Paul’s Choir with hymns, chosen by Nancy, “The Old Rugged Cross” and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”. Words of Remembrance were offered by Alice Ness on behalf of the family. Pallbearers were Lowell Thompson, Michael Church, Ray Hall, Jimmy Cairns, Marty Adair and Burton Keith. Burial will be at Gosline Cemetery in the spring. 4845

Take a few seconds and in your mind, picture someone snoring. Did you envision a man or a woman? Chances are you pictured a man. Why? Loud snoring is typically attributed to men. Snoring is the best known symptoms of having a very dangerous and disruptive condition: Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Society and even some health professionals don’t recognize that women can snore too, or have other symptoms caused by sleep apnea. People with obstructive sleep apnea stop or almost stop breathing through the night because throat tissue blocks off their upper airway. This causes poor sleep, tiredness and even cardiovascular problems. A woman with untreated sleep apnea may have different symptoms than a man such as morning headaches, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The classic tell-tale sign of sleep apnea in men is witnessed snoring and gasping for air. Women may not have this or not be aware of it. The predominant symptoms in women are tiredness and insomnia and these are often attributed to stress or menopause, instead of
possible Obstructive Sleep Apnea. In middle age, most women report having hot flashes and night sweats. Shockingly, researchers have found that severe hot flashes and night sweats are associated with a moderate to high risk of having sleep apnea. Those with high blood pressure or are overweight are at an even greater risk. The takeaway message: If you have morning headaches, fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia or severe hot flashes and night sweats, visit your doctor or nurse practitioner to discuss your risk for sleep apnea. 0038

LOCAL FIRST Small Towns are who we are. Small business is what we have. Big rewards are what we receive. Our local businesses know who we are. They know our children they know who are parents are. The friendly atmosphere, that smile you receive is why we love to
stop at our local store to shop. You don’t go to big box stores and receive that kind of welcome. Shopping local gives us many benefits that most of us are unaware of. It keeps more money in our local economy. So we can have
the extras like our rinks and our pools. I myself start thinking about all the great things we have. Ball fields that are lit up at night. The walking trails that allow us to join nature. I could do a very long list but I will let you think about your own list.

When we are supporting the local job market. People get to stay and work in their own community. That in turn helps our environment. Saving money by using less gas and less gas reduces our carbon footprint. We don’t need the large multi level buildings in our communities. I like to see the older buildings being used. Small businesses are the Heartbeat of your neighborhood, the spine of your local economy, and spirit of your Town. How wonderful is it when
you can get to see your kids or grandkids working, learning about life and what the real world has in store. How wonderful it is to not have to drive an hour to get that one little odd
sized bolt to fix your kids bike. How great is it meet your friend at the little cafe for coffee? Enjoy where you live, enjoy your stores and enjoy the benefits of them being local.

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG MISTAKES, MISTAKES MORE MISTAKES It was a clear cold day with arctic fog as thick as the inside of cloud. The cold temperature bites the skin like needles or shards of glass. But with resolve you will persevere; with camera tucked away in your jacket, you open the car door, set up the tripod and shoot the next pulitzer image. Shot after shot your cards starts
to fill and you can hardly stand yourself, you’re a genius, the next Ansel Adams, Ossekeag publishing is desperate to have you on staff. You can hardly contain your excitement as you flop yourself onto your chair in front of the computer. It is now that reality broadsides you like a tree trunk on a ski hill. As you look at
your first images you think, “well I am getting used to the camera”, or “man that autofocus is off ”. The excuses go on until you realize that you have gone photo blind, a condition wherein you are blinded by your own enthusiasm and the images in your minds’ eye is never the same as that on the back of your camera. Rather than the high end portrait of your child glowing in the woodlands you imagined what you actually captured is a tree growing out of your child’s head. Dust yourself off, have a good laugh at your expense and realize that this is the course that many before you have followed. It’s once been said that it takes 10,000 hours of practice before you get proficient; I suggest that it will take you 10,000 images before you start taking great images. When we make bad images or mistakes it is an opportunity to learn; I remember my wife asking why I took a certain image when we both knew that it was going to be awful. I replied “ so I can learn from them”. I would severely overexpose an image to see the results and shake the camera during a slow shutter speed. Some of these effects I really enjoy. There are times when I simply do not know how to shoot a particular scene and trod along doing the best I can, learning as I go. Of course more experienced photographs might call these photographic interpretations? I remember being on Grand Manan Island in Dark Harbour at sunset; the colours rivaled the hues of spring flowers. I made an image or two as I was “ supposed” to, then I got quirky and moved, panning my camera along the horizon line while taking an image, creating these marvelous streaks of sunset. With perfection expected we shy away from mistakes, what a pity. Shoot-Print -Share. 0032

himself or kept giving it to the same player over and over again, but he ensured he spread the ball around lots by getting the ball to another player to add confidence to their game. From Owen’s 12 TD passes, 7 different receivers had at least 1 TD catch. With all the accomplishments Owen’s Football IQ is at a top level that you don’t see at such a young age. He takes the time to show teammates the proper way to tackle, throw a ball, catch, run etc. He even worked with the coaches on using audibles at the line to adjust the offense to what the defence was showing which led to multiple touchdowns. Congratulations Owen. 4846

FOOTBALL NEW BRUNSWICK MVP When picking an MVP it’s not about the stats of an individual or a team, not about the wins and losses but it’s the heart, desire, sportsmanship, leadership, coachability and what the player does with it all. There has not been many other players over the past couple seasons step up the way Owen Dunfield has for Football in meeting all the criteria as an MVP. With all the time it takes to play football and study for school Owen still finds time to give back to Football. Every home game for the Peewee and High School Sonics, Owen is always the first person to step up and volunteers by doing sticks or however they can use him. As well over the past two seasons Owen has helped coach Tyke and Atom Football. Last season as a Tyke Coach Owen was awarded Rookie Coach of the Year by Fundy Minor Football. Owen has also been part of provincial football teams for the past two seasons, most currently he was part of the U15 NB Team that went to the Spalding Cup that won the Tier 2 Championship which Owen was named the MVP for Special Teams. Owen took on the Quarterback responsibilities and was named one of the captains for the Sussex Bantam Sonics this season, which he took with great pride and never missed a practice all season. Owen had multiple touchdown games running and passing for a season total of 16 touchdowns (12 Passing and 5 Rushing). In Minor Football there is not a lot of teams that pass the ball but with Owen at the helm Sussex passed the ball 70% of time as he had great control of the offense and understood what the defense was showing him. With these accomplishments led Sussex to be the number two offensive scoring team in the Fundy Minor Bantam Division. Owen throughout the season was very unselfish as he could have had additional scores for

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE THE FOUR TIMES YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR WILL One thing that many people forget to do after a life change is to update their will. Most people write it, file it and then forget about it. However, “wills need periodic updating, especially when a change comes along,” says Christine Van Cauwenberghe, Vice-President, Tax and Estate planning for Investors Group. Here are four times where taking another look at this critical document is a must. It’s a girl – or boy; A newborn needs lots of attention early on, but the child will need even more care if something happens to you and your spouse. It’s in the will where you’ll indicate who will look after your child if you can’t. “Designating a guardian is crucial so that someone is prepared to take physical custody of your children and their assets,” says Van Cauwenberghe. Ensure the new child gets a fair inheritance, especially if you already have other children who are already named in the will. Getting married, again; Getting hitched later in life, when one or both of you
already has kids, should trigger a will update, too. But be prepared – it’s going to be a complicated revision. You’ll likely need to make sure that your child’s inheritance is not entirely up to the discretion of the step-parent. The will needs to carefully state which children get what, and what happens if a surviving spouse remarries. “It’s important to ensure that children from a previous relationship aren’t disinherited when you have a new spouse,” says Van Cauwenberghe. Caring for the disabled; Having a special needs beneficiary in the family — such as a child born with health issues or a family member who develops them later in life — could necessitate a will change, too, as you’ll need to think ahead to that person’s needs over the long term. Common law and divorce; If you’re living common law, you should definitely be drawing up a will as surviving commonlaw spouses don’t have the same rights of inheritance as a married person in many
Canadian jurisdictions. “It’s important to know the rules in your province and to structure your will and estate plan in a way thatbestreflectsyourintentionswithrespect to your partner,” says Van Cauwenberghe. On the flipside, a separation or divorce will necessitate a will change. Pay special attention to beneficiary designations on your pensions, RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs, insurance and group benefits. You don’t want those dollars going to your ex. Revising a will is easier said than done. That’s why it’s a good idea to enlist your lawyer and professional advisor in the process. 0036

KINGS COUNTY MUSEUM NEWS The Kings County Museum has received a request for help from a gentleman in France doing research on aircraft crashes in Northern France during World War II. As he explains "I have just identified the cause of the crash of the Halifax W7770 aircraft, this aircraft was shot down by the German pilot Rauh on September 17, 1942 and the crash site I just discovered is the village of Vieux Reng. Among the five Canadians killed was William Seaman Grant (Maubeuge Cemetery) of King's Co, New Brunswick. My goal is to find the family of this aviator to inform them." Through our Facebook page and consultation with Kings County Historical Society members we have the following information, but so far nothing on any relatives: William Seaman Grant was born September 17, 1915 in West Saint John, New Brunswick, son of Nehemiah Ceman & Ruth Ann (nee Cronk) Grant. They had been married in Saint John on April 22, 1914. At that time Nehemiah was a 22 year old railway fireman born in Houlton, Maine (USA) and Ruth was 20 years old, and born at Clifton, Kings County, NB. At the time of the 1921 census (the most recent one available prior to the war), William was the only child listed with them, so he may have been their only child. We are checking further. From military records we have the following: William Seaman Grant F/S(OB) R84623. From Clifton Royal, Kings County, New Brunswick. Killed in Action September 17, 1942 age 27. No. 405 City of Vancouver Squadron (Ducimus). Target - Essen, Germany. Buried in the Centre Cemetery, Maubeuge, Nord France. Joseph Gordon St. Louis F/S(AG) R54325. From Renfrew, Ontario. Killed in Action September 17, 1952 age 28. No. 405 City of Vancouver Squadron (Ducimus). Halifax lost while engaged in operations to Essen, Germany. F/S’s C. A. Patton, W. F. Murray, C. A. Kitson, W. S. Grant were also killed. One Canadian P/O Krope was taken POW, and one of the crew, not Canadian, missing believed killed. F/S St. Louis buried in the Centre Cemetery, Maubeuge, Nord France. If anyone has any information on Mr Grant please contact the Museum at kingscountymuseumnb@gmail.com and we will forward the information to M. Feutry. 4840

Spotlight On... Lisa’s Playhouse This month at Lisa’s Playhouse we celebrate our 11th Anniversary! Lisa’s Playhouse opened in January 2007 with two staff members. We have since grown to 17 staff members, including me and my husband Seamus. In 2010, we found there was a need for after school care at the Apohaqui Elementary School so we jumped in and established a thriving program. Early on, I felt the need to highlight the importance of children playing outside and becoming connected to nature. I grew up playing outdoors all day in every type of weather and I had many fond memories because of it. I felt sad that some children didn’t have this and started brainstorming. After many months of research, Tír na nÓg Forest School, an entirely outdoor based program, was born and its invisible doors opened in 2013. Tír na nÓg is an Irish word that means, “Land of the Young”; because I have an Irish family, this name seemed fitting and the idea of maybe staying young being at Tír na nÓg Forest School appealed to me too! My initial hope was to inspire others to get children comfortable with the natural world and to learn experientially “Outside the Box”. Since then, two other locations have been developed in Saint John and Quispamsis. Three years later in 2016, a parent asked if I would ever consider starting a schoolaged Forest School program. I thought, why not? If I don’t try I will never know. We hired a teacher from St. Stephen and she developed a program following the New Brunswick curriculum. The only difference - the learning takes place outside. In the winter, they have a rustic building to use when the weather

is unfavourable, but we always refer to that old adage, There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. In August we opened an infant care space as we found there was a need in our community. We are happy to say that our six spaces are full and have a waiting list. This brings our total licensed spaces to 46 children daily. We are very excited about the new announcements from the government. Many good things are coming for designated centres and the parents within and we are working on becoming one of those centres. I am always looking for new adventures and challenges. After a recent trip to Italy, for an early childhood conference, I wanted to create a way for our educators to have the same level of professional development here in NB without having to travel outside our province. I felt our educators that work with our small children needed to be celebrated for the work they do. This summer we will be hosting our 1st Annual Shining Light on Early Childhood Education conference right here at Sussex at Kingswood University – July 27-29th. Our keynote speakers are coming all the way from Boston, MA and Toronto, ON. Our goal is to uplift all educators in a joyful way, give them a spotlight on the important work they do and give them valuable tools to take back to their respective centres. Going forward I can’t wait to share some practical ideas for your little ones that will be sustainable and eco-friendly. Our educators teach the children to love our environment, be kind to nature and it is our hope that they will grow up to take care of it. Here’s a simple, fun way to start – Orange Bird Feeder: Cut an orange in half, scoop
Shining The Light On Our Fellow Readers the fruit out, poke skewers through the orange – each one crossing, fill with seeds and hang it outside for our feathered friends. Check out my column Playing Outside The Box in an upcoming edition of the Herald for more ideas.
One Hundred Years from now It will not matter What kind of car we drove, What kind of house we lived in, How much money was in our bank account Nor what our clothes looked like. But the world may be a better place because We were important in the life of a child.

EXERCISE FOR HEALTH HOW TO START YOUR EXERCISE ROUTINE AGAIN Whether you have been away from exercising for just the holidays or weeks maybe even months it’s never too late to start again. Your body needs to move and you want it to work better and look better; there is nothing like feeling good, strong and energized! Remember how good it feels to be stronger, have more energy or that feeling of accomplishment when you have finished your workout? Start easy, the level of strength you had when you gave up your exercise routine was likely a lot higher than what your present level is. Sometimes our minds think we can just pick up where we left off and the end result is pain and soreness which will only lead to discouragement and frustration. When you begin your first workout just go through the motions and re familiarize yourself with the proper form and range of motion to be used before you concentrate on the intensity.
Take it easy for a couple of days then pick up the pace and set yourself some workout goals for the days ahead. Keep a log so you can see how fast you are progressing and what areas need a little extra work. Make a commitment, schedule what days you will go to the gym, what days you will walk or do an alternate activity. Make it easy for yourself some people prefer to start their day with exercise while others prefer to do it last thing in the day before going home. Keep everything you need for the gym in your car or with your work supplies, the easier the process the more likely you will be to succeed. Tell yourself you are going to do it for one month no matter what, by that time the habit should be part of your daily routine and easily continued. Most activities become comfortable after you’ve done them for a while, you have to be faithful to the commitment and consistent to see results.
Find a person who shares your interest and make them your workout buddy. You may find someone at your workout facility or ask a friend maybe they have been wanting someone to go with and were afraid to ask. Let’s get started: a new year a new you! Whether you have exercised before, or you are discovering it for the first time, you will love taking time for you. Remember, the only reason you should be exercising and improving your health is for you. 0046

THANK YOU FOR RESPECT SHOWN During Remembrance week members of the Legion and Ladies Auxiliary Branch #20 had the privilege again this year to visit area schools. The respect shown at all schools was very impressive. Each school had a program to help educate the students about the sacrifice made for their peace and freedom. They were also told that as bad and scary as war always is, the benefits of peace for the people of the land should never be taken for granted. The students used their talents to sing, play instruments, read and recite. School staff, your teaching was evident. Parents, your children's behavior was perfect. Lastly students, thank you for your performances and may the message and protocol of Remembrance be yours to hold tight. On a humorous note and speaking of good behaviour.... after God Save the Queen was sung at Sussex Regional High School in the Grade 9 and 12 Assembly the students sat and remained still and quiet. When the Principal realized that the students were not moving back to class, she had to come back to the microphone to formally dismiss the assembly. Thank you to all. Lorraine Pollock, Legion Remembrance Coordinator of School Programming. 4819
