"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things:” ~ Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass For several years now The Boss has been talking about retiring. Unfortunately, the same past few years have not been kind to the news publishing industry in general. Sales have declined significantly at Ossekeag, but our tracking of key competitors makes us reasonably certain that their sales have declined even more. Regardless, it is not an attractive time to be looking to dispose of a business. The alternative, however, would mean waiting for the economy to turn around and who knows how long that could take. . . and the missus sure isn’t getting any younger. So, we are currently seeking individuals who find the prospect of owning New Brunswick’s second largest news publisher to get in touch with us if you have a sincere interest in taking over the business. Key factors that we would be assessing: 1. Community minded 2. Can play well with staff and customers 3. Ideal person would be able to drive sales 4. Able to generate new products, and diversify current revenues 5. Must have access to approximately $50,000 for cash flow management plus purchase price Since the missus is very busy operating

the business, she has asked me to be the front person. In order to have an organized process, please email me a page or two indicating why you are a good potential owner to mike@ ossekeag.ca, please no calls. All needed information will be made available at the appropriate time. For the right person or persons, we are ready and willing to take the time needed to ensure that a proper transition takes place. We are highly motivated to have Ossekeag continue to be successful, as closing it down would be very harmful to the communities that we serve and the advertisers who support our publications. Leaving our competitors with a print monopoly would allow them to truly price gouge and their current deep discounts would undoubtedly quickly disappear. Don’t worry, we are not going away immediately and we will certainly do our best to get Ossekeag into the right hands for a long and hopefully prosperous future. While I do believe that the right person can and should make a reasonable profit, what is for absolute certain, is that you will never lack for a deeply appreciative audience for what we do. 0001

MOORE FROM OTTAWA New Brunswickers Will Benefit from the Canada Apprentice Loan Our Government recognizes that apprenticeship training plays a key role in Canada’s post-secondary education system and provides vital skills and knowledge necessary to power and grow the Canadian economy. We are also aware that a number of employers in Canada cannot meet demand for skilled labour in specific sectors. That is why, on January 8, 2015, we launched the Canada Apprentice Loan, which will provide apprentices registered in designated Red Seal trades with access to over $100 million in interest-free loans each year. This initiative will help those already apprenticing to complete their training and encourage more Canadians to pursue a career in the skilled trades, allowing participants to take advantage of the many opportunities being created through the Government of Canada’s historic investments in infrastructure.
New Brunswickers are particularly well placed to benefit from opportunities stemming from the Atlantic Shipbuilding Action Plan (ASAP) and the Energy East Pipeline project. Initiatives such as the Atlantic Shipbuilding Action Plan (ASAP) are designed to help New Brunswick businesses take advantage of opportunities related to Canada’s renewal of naval and coast guard fleets. Introduced in Economic Action Plan 2014, the Canada Apprentice Loan will assist an estimated 26,000 apprentices in Red Seal trades across Canada every year. These loans will help apprentices cover costs they encounter during technical training, including educational fees, tools and equipment, living expenses and forgone wages. Red Seal trades include a total of 57 skilled trades, such as bakers, bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, gasfitters, heavy equipment operators, ironworkers, machinists, painters, plumbers, sheet metal workers, and truck mechanics, to name a few. Apprentices registered in a Red Seal trade apprenticeship will now be able to apply for loans of up to $4,000

per period of technical training. The loans are interest-free until after loan recipients complete or leave their apprenticeship training program, up to a maximum of six years. Applications and eligibility criteria are available through the Canada Apprentice Loan Online Service at www.pca-cal.ca/en/Apprentice-LoanInformation/Apply-for-a-loan. Hon. Rob Moore, P.C., M.P.

ASK THE CHEF STIR FRY Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. What is stir fry and why do we do it? Great question and we are going to have to go back in history again for the answer. So what is stir fry? It is the act of cooking vegetables and meats at very high temperatures with very little oil. It started in China during the Han Dynasty about 220 BC. It was a way of drying grains, not meat or vegetables. They would heat the pan and add the grains, stirring quickly as it dried. It was during the Ming Dynasty 1368 that they started adding small amounts of oil and discovered by adding vegetables and meat they could create a hot tasty meal quickly. Stir fries have become known as a healthy option in preparing food today, trapping on vitamins, flavours and colour of the vegetables while only using a small amount of oil in the process. This
is why the wok is essential to a stir fry. It allows the oil to collect in a smaller area at the bottom of the wok, but as you stir constantly, the oil rises up the wok and slides its way back to the bottom. So a little goes a long way in this action. Stir fry was brought to North America by the Chinese. It wasn’t until 1945 that the first cookbook called “How to Cook and Eat in Chinese was introduced. Here stir fry is described as: “Roughly speaking, ch’ao (stir fry) may be defined as a big-fire-shallow-fat-continualstirring-quick-frying of cut-up material with wet seasoning. We shall call it 'stirfry' or 'stir' for short. The nearest to this in western cooking is sauté... because stir-frying has such critical timing and is done so quickly.” So that is how it came to be called stirfry in our culture. It was in the 1970’s that a cookbook described stir-fry cooking as a healthier way to eat that the craze of stifry began. Today at our local grocery store, entire sections are dedicated to this cooking
method. You can find already prepared vegetables and 10 plus different premade bottles of sauces all ready for you to open up and stir-fry yourself a meal in a matter of minutes. Of course I would never suggest this as a good way to go. I am a strong believer in doing it yourself. Making your own sauce and preparing your own vegetable and protein of choice but in today’s society, time is everything. Important ingredients you should always have when stir frying besides the oil; ginger, garlic and a little heat from either peppers or powder but it will make all the difference. This is a great cooking method that allows you to experiment with different flavours and never be wrong. 0040

pOInT OF VIEW SNOWFALL CASH AND CAUSES With the record breaking snowfall amounts we've experienced this winter, it's no wonder most of us are counting down the days and weeks until we see green grass again. For the skiers and snowmobilers out there, it's been a banner year. Despite the excessive white stuff Old Man Winter has thrust upon us, it's been heartwarming (and entertaining) to see how some people have chosen to make the most of a bad situation. An entrepreneur from the New England states is bottling and selling snow in three convenient sizes - a 480g bottle for $19.99, six pound box for $89 or a 10 pound package for $119. According to his website, ShipSnowYo. com, this guy has actually filled well over 100 orders. It reminds me of the phrase, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” My initial reaction was one of disbelief, but it quickly turned into, why didn't I think of that? It isn't costing him a penny for
the product, he isn't likely to run out of stock… ever, and with only shipping costs to contend with, his profit margin is impressive. There are others who are using the huge snowbanks as a canvas for worthwhile causes. A two-time cancer survivor from Amherst, NS has converted a huge pile of snow into what he's calling the Hill of Hope. Daren White used Kool-Aid and water to paint more than 100 pink cancer ribbons on the impressive snow pile that sits in the Amherst Centre Mall parking lot. His goal is to raise money and awareness for this year's Relay for Life event. Photos of White's Hill of Hope have been shared all over social media sites and his ingenious idea is sure to raise a good amount of money for cancer research and to assist those living with the disease. For a $5 pledge to his relay team, people can guess what date the last of the Hill of Hope will melt and disappear. Closer to home, family members, friends and neighbours of a Belleisle Creek woman battling breast cancer haven't let the cold temps stop them from shaving their heads
in a show of support for their friend. Carol (Joynes) Beckett started her chemotherapy treatments in January and, not wanting her to feel alone in her cancer fight, had a head shaving party. We now have a community full of beautiful, bald women and men. Oh, and several more with dyed pink hair! It's been inspiring to watch Carol and her many supporters share this journey together. Their positive attitude is contagious and serves to remind us all to not sweat the small stuff (gigantic snow banks included). They are living proof that it's not about what life throws your way, but how you choose to react to it. If you have any comments, I'd love to hear from you. My email is: diane@ ossekeag.ca. 0032
PIPPA: Pippa is a short-hair pale grey tabby. She has been
at the Sanctuary since June last year. In mid-March she will be 1 year old. A great lap cat who loves to cuddle and gets along with all the other felines. She is more than ready for a permanent home.
PIPPA
MOLLY
MOLLY:
Molly is a lovely 2 year old dilute tortie. She has a very gentle nature and loves attention. Her favorite spot is on a sunny windowsill, dozing and pretending to be watching the birds at the bird feeders. She gets along and plays well with the other felines she bunks with. Molly is anxiously waiting for her permanent home. If interested in meeting Pippa and/or Molly, please contact the Sanctuary via e-mail or facebook to make an appointment.

lISTEn In ROCK ‘N’ ROLL LEGEND I love it when Rock ‘N’ Roll Royalty comes to New Brunswick! Thank you Casino NB for bringing world class artists to the province! Bronx, New York native Chuck Negron formally of Three Dog Night. With a knack for choosing the ideal material for the band as well as singing on these hits; Paul Williams penned “Old fashioned Love Song”, “Eli’s Coming” by Laura Nyro, “Pieces of April” by David Loggins and the reverent feel-good smash “Joy To The World” by Hoyt Axton. “When the band first got together we started working on some songs that the guys had written in a tiny rehearsing room. We didn’t really play well together. I thought, if I brought some really good songs to work on (from other writers – just to get the ball rolling) maybe eventually we could get around to the original stuff. We talk about the hey days on the Sunset strip in Hollywood and the famous Whiskey a go go where Chuck performed and hung out back in the day with riveting stories about Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and shows you only wish you were around to witness first hand. “It’s a part of my life. I remember all of us trying to make a living. Chicago was a band we flip flopped a lot with at the Whiskey. In another city, Portland I think, we flip flopped with Led Zeppelin. The opening act was James Taylor.” Some of their other opening acts were Rod Stewart, ELO and Aerosmith, just to give you a little perspective on how big it all was!

Chuck also tells me about the new music that is coming out soon that his two youngest daughters are involved in with him. ““It’s been a wonderful experience, working with my girls. They are fun and they are really talented and they are the new generation. They’re in there singing and texting. Their phones are in there at all times.”” What are you doing in there?” Chuck says with a laugh. “I’m looking forward to it. I know it will be a lot of fun. I love being in Canada.” Chuck says in conclusion in anticipation of performing in NB. Us too Chuck! You also gotta check Chuck’s book! In closing, he has this message for us all and the upcoming show! “I want to say how excited we are to come up and play in Moncton, New Brunswick. I want to invite everyone out. We’re going to have a fun time!” For more information and how to buy tickets to see Tommy James & The Shondells & Chuck Negron go to: casinonb.ca/tommy-james-chucknegron.

FRESH WITH FOOd FERMENTING YOUR OWN KOMBUCHA TEA Over the last few weeks we have had increasing interest from customers in making their own Kombucha Tea. We sell two different brands of Kombucha here at market, Tonica and GT’s Kombucha - they are both delicious, but there is nothing better than home-brew Kombucha! You can ferment it to your liking and flavour it as mild or wild as you want. We first purchased Tonica Kombucha when I met Zoey, Tonica’s owner. This was in 2012. Kombucha was new to most Southern NBers and I’m pretty sure I drank half of the first order. It was not a very fast moving product. Three years later, we order Kombucha twice a month, selling thousands of bottles a year. Let me tell you a bit more about Kombucha. Simply put, Kombucha is an all natural health beverage full of probiotics and healthy amino acids. It’s naturally effervescent and refreshing, and is used by cultures around the world to aid gut
health and energize the body. Kombucha is made by placing a culture of Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY, also known as a Kombucha “Mother”) in sweetened organic tea and allowing it to ferment for several days and then adding organic fruit and/or berries for a secondary fermentation. The SCOBY is both the by-product of Kombucha fermentation and the medium on which the bacteria and yeast live. The SCOBY is a beneficial bacteria culture, and Kombucha is rich with probiotics. The brewing/fermenting process results in a sweet, light-tasting, slightly fizzy drink. The benefits do brewing it yourself is that you can taste it each day during the initial fermentation to see how the flavour is changing - and when it’s just right you can bottle it, add some delicious flavours and continue with the next fermentation. During the second fermentation the tea takes on the flavour of whatever fruits and berries you have added to the bottle - blueberry/ginger, raspberry/mango, turmeric/lemon - there is no end to the
flavour combinations! The active component of Kombucha is a compound called glucaric acid, which has been proven to make the liver more efficient in its detoxification and elimination functions and Kombucha is also high in B-Vitamins and enzymes that help to break down food, so they can be more easily digested. Delicious and nutritious! If you are interested in starting your own batch of Kombucha, email Sarah@ kredl’s.com, she has been tracking down SCOBYs for customers and staff members and would be happy to help you get started with fermentation. She also has a detailed PDF document that can take you through the entire process from start to first gulp. 0039

MuSInGS THE NEXT ONE? It is difficult to believe, but it has been 15 years since Mike and I jumped feet first into the publishing business. The Hampton Herald had been around for 18 years at that time, the Valley Viewer for 8 and the Sussex Signature was a mere 2 years old. The Tides was still several years in the future. It is like watching your children grow up and suddenly you look around and wonder where the time has gone. I am proud of where our community magazines are today. Our new owl logo, the redesign of the layout, the organization of the content to allow us the space to enjoy the contributions of a variety of columnists, and the quality of the work that comes out of this little business. At the same time, we have stayed true to our roots, to the community focus first envisioned by Helen & Bert Boyd back in 1982 when they started this little retirement project. It is an uplifting experience that
brings amazing rewards. But . . . Isn’t there always a but! As Michael will be quick to point out, I am not getting any younger. There are those who think that being a business owner is a coast, free to come and go as you please, show up if you want, and draw down a big salary for little effort. Perhaps that is true for some, but it has never been the way it has operated for me. And after 40+ years in the workforce, I must confess to being ready for a little “me” time. I did try a little step back last summer, but when I lost a couple of staff members I was right back in here and have been ever since. It has become obvious that if I am to get any real “me” time, I must do more than step back, I must step out. That doesn’t mean today, not even tomorrow, but also it doesn’t mean 5 years in the future either. When the obituaries include as many of my contemporaries as they do my parents’ generation, I cannot ignore the reality of my own age. And just as I would want to ensure my children would be taken
care if I had died when they were too young to care for themselves, so too do I want to ensure the future of Ossekeag. Somewhere out there is the person or persons who can make sure that happens.
