GROWTH AND ASPIRATIONS A little over a year ago Kevin and I began our journey into the world of publication “sans safety-net”. In February, 2017, Mike and Debbie were able to finish saying their “Long Goodbye”, bidding adieu to the hectic schedule and pressure of deadlines, with visions of retirement and leisure dancing in their heads. I will admit to being woefully unprepared to take the helm at Ossekeag. I had big shoes to fill, a head full of dreams, a belly expanding at a rapid pace and zero practical knowledge of the printing industry. Thankfully, we had a wonderful staff, lots of encouragement from the community and a very understandingtrying-to-retire-but-remaining-oncall former owner, willing to answer even the most mundane questions. I lost track of the number of calls for help and urgent emails Debbie answered over those first few weeks. I’m sure she (and Mike) was tired of hearing my voice on the other end of the phone saying “Sorry to bug you, I’ve forgotten what you said to do about….” Over the past year Kevin and I worked hard to ensure Ossekeag continued to honour the tradition of communityminded service that has been the cornerstone of the business since the Boyd’s published the first Hampton Herald 36 years ago. We have had some incredible highs, including our HACC award for workplace excellence and some devastating lows, such as the decision to stop publishing the Tides, our Saint John publication. We have also said goodbye to several staff members, Terri, Jon, Beth and most recently, Vanessa, who have all moved on to the next chapter of their lives but remain a part of our family. Now that we have moved into our sophomore year, Kevin and I are looking at making some changes to the papers and company as a whole in an effort to serve our communities better. First and foremost, the company will be leaving its current location and relocating sometime this spring. It will be difficult to leave 242 Main Street, steeped as it is in Ossekeag History;
however, the move to a smaller space will allow us to continue to provide the same level of service with minimal increase in cost to our advertisers. Over the next few months Ossekeag will be promoting our new Spotlight feature - a feature dedicated to individuals and not-for-profit groups in the community to share their stories. We will debut our Graphic Art Division, in partnership with Rainbow Printing, and will be starting our data entry and spread sheet design divisions. We are also very excited to welcome Hampton High Co-Op student, Edwin, in the role of student journalist. He will be working closely with our editor, Karey, to learn the ins and outs of production and ad placement as well as the finer points of copy editing. Edwin will also be joining me for “Spot Light” interviews. Watch for his column in an upcoming issue - Edwin will be providing us with a young adult look at current events and the early days of the 2018 Provincial Election. As always, we are looking for ways to engage our readers while supporting local businesses. If you have any suggestions, or a story to share, please contact us at info@ossekeag.ca. We want to hear from you! We thank you for all of your support and hope to continue growing with you. 0001

Elsie Gray Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning at 6:00am Elsie heads off to Curves Sussex to do her workout, now this is no big event as she has many friends that join her at 6:00am but Elsie is 90 years old so we think she is pretty special and sets a great example for women of any age. Elsie joined Curves in July of 2008 and maintains a loss of 40+
a New Business? Talk to us about our
inches since joining Curves not to mention Elsie was over 80 before she even started with us at Curves. Elsie was born June 15, 1927 in Lower Ridge New Brunswick, she went to high school in Havelock and Sussex. Elsie is a mother to three children has nine grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild will be born in the near future. Quilting, baking, travelling, making preserves and being a part of her community are favorite activities for Elsie, there is seldom a day goes by that Elsie does not have something she is participating in. Many people are very familiar with Elsie’s baked beans and brown bread, she will spend a whole day making bread for the flea market at the local legion. Kindness and compassion are something Elsie shares with her friends and acquaintances on a daily basis. If you have never met Elsie I’m sure you have heard of something she has been involved with she has many stories to share and loves a good laugh. 4891

DESIGNS FOR REAL LIFE VANITY INSANITY Think about your bathroom. What do you like about it? Or what about your bathroom literally ruins your day, every day? What adds frustration? Is it too big (said no one ever) or too small? Is there not enough counter space or no place for towels. Is your spouse taking over all available space? I recently visited a couples’ existing bathroom and it was an average bathroom but they had a full closet overflowing with towels, cleaners, and products that could not fit in the actual bathroom. Sound Familiar? With the addition of functioning cabinetry you can now have a place for everything. Draw a layout of your room and list what you are lacking storage for. If it is 5” high perfume bottles or beach towels that will make a difference in the cabinets required. Also list what isn’t working. Is the sink too small or is the height of the vanity too low. When trying to maximize storage in a little bathroom,
go with custom cabinets. I can make any size and mostly any configuration. Bathrooms are not a one size fits all. Any space for a tall storage unit in the bathroom? My couple with the average bathroom had a wall free on the other side of the tub surround. Since towels, more towels and toiletries were stuffed in baskets then the solution was to have a 90” high cabinet with adjustable shelves so it will work as a multipurpose zone and free up a closet in the hall. Since we didn’t have much room I custom made the depth to 12” which is sufficient for towel and bottles. Your bathroom just dated and dull? Incorporate some of this year’s trends. Beautiful Quartz Countertops with a smaller undermount sink will maximize your counter space and it will be easier to clean. Add a makeup table, a caddy for straighteners and blowers or add wall cabinets on top of the vanity for tiny bottles and cosmetics.
We are seeing a lot of Neutral tones and Natural wood elements in the bathrooms which means the Spa Look isn’t going anywhere. New Brass and Gold Fixtures are back and it is now acceptable to mix up your metal finishes with the right balance. A bright bathroom is best. Add some effective lighting and lighter wall colors. Wash your Bathroom worries away and Stop in to see me. Coffee is Ready. 0048

KitKat: Is a very affectionate, funny, playful and
sweet kitten. She is now 8 months old. According to the Veterinarian she received a major trauma to her left eye. The eye could not be saved. She was a wonderful patient during her recovery. It has not slowed her down in the least - she is always ready for playtime. She gets along with other felines as well as the resident dog. She keeps herself well groomed and is trained to the scratch post. KitKat has been spayed, de-bugged and vaccinated. Paws & Whiskers Sanctuary Inc.

FUNDRAISER FOR DR. A. T. LEATHERBARROW PRIMARY The Dr. A. T. Leatherbarrow Primary School will be holding an Online Fundraiser Auction through Facebook from April 2nd to 8th, 2018. The Facebook group is called Dr. A.T. Leatherbarrow – Inclusive Education & Play Initiative. Please join the group to monitor our progress, and to get involved in this awesome auction. Money raised through this event will help fund our Inclusive Education & Play Initiative. This will include, but is not limited to, the following: Poured In-Place Rubber Surfacing, Inclusive Playground Equipment, Multi-Sensory Room, Portable Sensory Equipment and Kits.

Help us make this playground the first inclusive playground in our community, and our school the first with a Multi-Sensory Room. The improvements we want to make to our school come with a large price tag; however, we are committed to making this happen! You can help us reach our goal. Participate in auction, and get your friends and family involved as well by adding them to the auction page. Donate an item or service for the auction. Make a monetary donation in someone’s honour. Every donation will bring us that much closer to our goal.

PLAYING OUTSIDE THE BOX ST. PATRICK’S DAY FUN This week we celebrate all thing Irish! Because of our Irish roots, this holiday is really emphasized in our programming. In keeping with our eco-friendly principles, we try our best to plan “green” activities that do not impact our environment negatively. For example, we stay away from using glitter. Glitter is essentially just teeny, tiny bits of pretty plastic. Plastic never breaks down and is bad news for pretty much everything that calls the earth home. Instead of glitter one could use sawdust, sand, cut up flower petals, desiccated coconut, red lentils, split peas, the possibilities are endless! Or you can make your own non-toxic glitter. Here is how you do it. Make Non-toxic Glitter. Here’s what you’ll need; baking sheet, jar, salt or granulated sugar & liquid food colouring. Directions. Put salt or sugar into a clear jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add food colouring one drop at a time (adjust for desired colour) and screw the cap on
tightly. Shake to combine. Pour onto baking sheet and put in a 350-degree oven for 10 mins. Let cool. Sprinkle, dip or shake onto whatever you like! Examples Of Eco-friendly St. Patrick’s Day Activities Include: Shamrock stamps – reuse wine corks by taking 3 of them and putting an elastic around them to form the leaves of the shamrock. Dip in green paint and stamp on paper. Have children add stems with a little paint brush. You can also use green bell peppers cut in half and dip in green paint as well. Play Irish Hot Potato – Have children sit on the floor in a circle. Select one player as the starter and give them one large potato. Crank the Irish tunes. The children pass the potato as quickly as they can and when the music stops the one holding the potato is out. Potato flakes into the sensory table. First, let the children play with it dry for a while then add water and some green food colouring and let the children experiment.
Sprouting Shamrocks – cut out a shamrock for each child using old towels. Let each child dampen their shamrock and place it in a recycled pie tin. Give them some alfalfa seeds and let the children sprinkle them on top of their shamrock. Place in a sunny area and watch them grow! Make sure to keep the seeds damp. It takes effort to think outside the box and come up with alternatives that have a low impact on the environment but so worth it because we are teaching the next generation to be good stewards of our earth. The children have just as much fun, maybe even 0026 more. Lisa Brown Director of Lisa’s Playhouse & The Apohaqui Village Clubhouse After School Program Founder of Tír na nÓg Forest School

On a cold winter day in February 1978, John and Gloria Jenkins drove down what was then the Trans Canada Highway from their home in Fredericton, NB to start a new life in nearby Sussex. They had just purchased the Fairway Motor Inn & Restaurant located in Sussex. Although they
each had previous job experience, neither John or Gloria had any previous experience in the food service industry and they had to adapt quickly, which became a signature way of life for the Jenkins family. The original 54 unit motel and 70

seat restaurant was at that time strategically located on Route 2, New Brunswick’s central TransCanada Highway corridor, to and from the Atlantic Provinces. During the 80’s and 90’s Sussex grew as a result of employment from the launch of large potash mining operations in southern New Brunswick and the Fairway Motor Inn expanded to meet the needs of our customers. An indoor pool as well as extended stay apartments were added to the motel room units. Sussex is central to New Brunswick in all directions which makes it a great location for business organizations to meet since everyone in attendance drives about the same road distance to get here. During the employment boom Sussex saw

on display offering a nostalgic experience in every sense of the word. Travelers love diners! The themed diner atmosphere transformed our dining business and years later it is still a “mustgo, must-see” location for families and friends to meet for a meal and conversation.
One of John’s proudest achievements is the reinvention of the restaurant as JJ’s Diner (aka John Jenkins Diner), which he researched for development as an attraction to build up his food service business. His diner concept, which features early automotive memorabilia and atmosphere, is a themed visitor attraction that customers love to visit and comment on today. JJ’s resembles a 50’s and 60’s era diner with bright, colorful artifacts
Sussex and our operations have had some banner business years and some setbacks, including the rerouting of the Trans Canada Highway in the early 2000’s. But overall, the Fairway Inn & JJ’s Diner have been blessed with great customers who keep coming back on a regular basis from all over southern New Brunswick.
We are also fortunate in the great staff we have employed over the years. We are so proud of the quality of the local staff we have as they made all the difference in our success as a business.

UNFILTERED THE TRUTH ABOUT WINE & SULFITES
As a person working in the wine industry, I have met many people who believe that they are allergic to the sulfites found in wine. It is a widely believed misconception that the sulfites found in wine are a big problem. This could not be further from the truth. In fact, according to the FDA less than 1% of the population is actually sensitive to sulfites. Sulfites are present in all wines, beers, and many widely consumed foods. It is unclear as to why they have gotten such a bad rep when it comes to wines as the level of sulfites found in wine is quite low compared to many other foods. Fruit juices, pickles, and dried fruit all contain much higher levels. Sulfites are used in the food and winemaking industries as an antioxidant and preservative. In winemaking the main purpose of sulphites is to minimize the wine’s exposure to oxygen. Oxygen is an enemy of wine, it causes it to age more quickly, and it also causes changes in flavours and
colour. For this reason, Sulfur Dioxide is used to minimize the grapes’ exposure to air, from the time the grapes are picked, and throughout the winemaking process. Sulfites are a natural byproduct of fermentation, and as such are present in all alcoholic beverages, (with the exception of spirits as they are not made through the distillation process). And yes, this does include organic wines. Winemakers producing organic wines employ the procedure of not using additional sulfites at the end of the winemaking/finishing processes, but all wines contain sulfites at a minimum of 10 parts per million. A common misconception is the avoidance of red wines because people believe their allergy to the sulfites will cause them to have headaches. This could not be further from the truth, as red wines contain less sulfites than white wines. Less sulfites are required to be added to red wines because the tannins in red wines are also preservatives.
White wines however, contain little to no tannins and therefore more sulfites are required to keep it fresher longer. While white wines contain higher levels of sulfites than reds, sweet wines typically have a higher level as well. Therefore, if you are trying to avoid exposure to sulfites, your best bet it to stick to dry, high-tannin, organic reds. If you are a part of that less than 1% of the population that truly is allergic to sulfites, you should most definitely be avoiding them at all costs. As always, if you have any questions or would like to contact me you can send mean email at victoriamccormick @live.ca. 0042 Victoria Mccormick WSET Level 3 certified in wine and spirits Owner, Unfiltered Wine Consulting

Health & Wellness SHRINERS INTERNATIONAL (LUXOR SHRINERS OF NB) Shriners International is a fraternal organization of nearly 200 Shrine Centres with hundreds of thousands of members worldwide. Many of you may have seen the men of all ages wearing quite unique red hats, marching in parades and hosting events in your communities. What you may not be aware of is that these men, the Shriners, help thousands of children every year through their philanthropy, Shriners Hospitals for Children. Shriners have a deep-rooted belief in brotherhood, giving back to society, leadership, family and truth. Being a Shriner means being part of a very special organization whose members enjoy having fun and helping others, are familyoriented, and who are part of a fellowship of men who share the same values. Their spouses or significant others, have the title Lady added to their name. Shriners ladies participate in raising money for Shriners hospital, participate in events and supporting their Shrine Centres. In addition, Shriners and their Ladies are committed to helping children in need, and have done so for more than 90 years. Shriners are the founders and supporters of

Shriners Hospitals for Children, a system of 22 health care facilities that provides innovative pediatric specialty care for orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate. Admission to our hospitals is based solely on medical need. All children, under the age of 18, are eligible for care if there is a reasonable possibility they could benefit from the specialized services available. All care and services are provided regardless of the ability to pay. Who are these Shriners and why are they compelled to bring such positive change to their communities and children around the world? Men from all walks of life, including politicians, entertainers, athletes, lawyers and “the guy next door,” have chosen to become Shriners. Despite these differences, what unifies all these men are their shared values, desire to have fun, perform good deeds and build lifelong friendships. Shriners also share an affiliation with Masonry– all Shriners are Master Masons. This fraternity is the oldest, largest and best-known in the world. There are nearly 200 Shrine Centres located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Panama and Germany. In New Brunswick, we have one Shrine Centre, called Luxor,

located in Saint John. Under Luxor Shrine Centre there are 8 clubs and 14 units around the province. Clubs and units allow Shriners to be more active and involved in Shrine related activities in their local area as travel to the Shrine Centre can be time consuming. Clubs generally meet once a month and are under the control of Luxor. Shriners do much more than have fun. Every member is committed to helping kids in need of medical care. Shriners Hospitals for Children is the official philanthropy of the Shriners fraternity, and supporting it is an integral part of being a Shriner. Shriners International opened the first Shriners Hospitals for Children in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1922. Today, Shriners Hospitals for Children is a world-renowned health care system with 22 facilities dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty care, innovative research, and outstanding teaching programs for medical professionals. We have one Shriners Hospital for Children in Canada, located in Montreal, Quebec. Shriners in New Brunswick raise money to send children in our province to a Shriner’s hospital. Fifteen years ago, we were able to work with the Chaleur Hospital in Bathurst to do clinics for our children. This
arrangement has been beneficial to families as it saves travel time to appointments. Shriners Hospitals for Children relies on the generous donations of the general public to carry out our mission and improve the lives of children. Since the first Shriners Hospital opened in 1922, the system has cared for more than 1 million children. As Shriners, we contribute to the health care system in several ways. For example, a portion of each Shriner’s membership dues helps fund the health care system. There are numerous ways that Shriners help support Shriners Hospitals for Children. For anyone who wants to make a lasting contribution to humanity, there is no better way than by helping a child, and Shriners Hospitals for Children is the perfect place to offer that help. A Shriner’s life is full, diverse and active. We have fun and fellowship, and we are dedicated to supporting an honorable cause.

After five years of planning and patiently waiting, there was a feeling of excitement in the air Monday morning as the staff and volunteers of the Sussex Sharing Club made ready to re-open their doors after being closed for an extended period for expansion and renovations. Gone are the days of cramped quarters. Bright and airy, the Sharing Club now has the feel of a department store. The area that previously housed the entire store is now used to display furniture, books and household items. In the new addition, jewellery and other small items are displayed in cases while the clothing and shoes are showcased on donated racks and slate wall. During the opening ceremony the feeling of comradery and anticipation grew as Vice President Alphie Smith discussed the Club’s history. The Sharing Club has been serving the Sussex area faithfully since 1986, and moved to their current location on December 31, 2012. Since that move, the staff and volunteers have been working towards the goal of an expansion and on Monday, March 5, 2018 their efforts saw fruition. In attendance for the ribbon cutting were Alaina Lockhart, Member of Parliament for Fundy Royal, and Laurie Stewart, president of the New Brunswick Association of Food Banks. Also present were the Vail brothers, Ron, Moe and Robert of Vail Contractors. Ron Vail spoke briefly to the crowd, stating that it was “a privilege and highlight of his career” to be involved in the project, declaring the club to be a joyful place. With a line of eager shoppers at the door Mr. Smith received the keys from Ron Vail before cutting the ribbon and declaring the Sharing Club open for business. Customers were still filing into the store as the first purchases were being made; by 10:00am the store was packed and the air full of exclamations of delight. 4889
INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE FIVE WAYS TO FIGURE OUT YOUR RISK TOLERANCE Every investor knows that risk and return go together. When it comes to risk tolerance, though, everyone is different and how much you can endure on the downside depends on several factors including years to retirement, lifestyle and more. Sandra Sigurdson, Investors Group Director of Strategic Investment Planning, says Risk tolerance is subjective. For some investors, losing a few thousand dollars is no big deal. For others, dropping even a couple hundred dollars is a huge loss. Risk tolerance is also both financial and emotional. For financial, it’s about needing to make the investments that meet the objectives of a longterm financial plan. For emotional, it’s about making investments that don’t cause you stress and negatively affect other aspects of your life. Here are five things to consider when determining your risk tolerance: Do you understand the market? If Alpha and Beta are all Greek to you, consider
wading in slowly, until you grow your confidence and understanding. Have you experienced losses? If you’ve been through a downturn before, think about how it made you feel. Did it cause you to pull back on your investments and perhaps sit on the sidelines, or move into safer investments? Did it cause you emotional turmoil or were you able to stick to your plan, participate in the recovery and get on with your financial life? Answering those questions will give you a good read on your risk tolerance. Are you afraid of uncertainty? Your tolerance for uncertainty in your work life and the people you choose as friends are good indicators of your tolerance for uncertainty in the value of your investments. Do you have other money elsewhere? If you have other sources of income, like a pension or maybe a sprawling estate you can one day sell, then you may be able to take on more risk in your portfolio. Are you aware of what you can lose? Research has found that if you

put potential losses in percentage terms, you won’t really be able to evaluate how much of a decline you can stomach. Put it in dollar terms instead. Instead of a 30% drop, tell yourself that it’s $30000 drop. How would that feel? What would you do? There are ways to maximize the potential for higher returns in your investment portfolio and manage risk at the same time. Spread out the risk by diversifying your portfolio and use asset allocation to assemble the mix of investments that best suits your goals and risk tolerance. Your professional advisor can help you build a portfolio with the right level of risk and the right risk management strategies 0036 for you.
