On Our Cover Early Spring Crocuses
I often feel that music is a universal language. A fun rhythm and good strong beat tends to get a body moving, regardless of musical taste. I grew up listening to my parent’s rock and roll and still recognize the Eagles, Rod Stewart and the Jitters from the initial cords. As I got older, I started listening to the music of my peers and promptly drove my parents crazy with the “melodies” of the ‘90’s pop scene. I plastered my walls with pictures of boybands and learned every word of the Backstreet Boy’s first album. Don’t judge, I was 14! Today, I’ve moved away from commercial music and listen to whatever strikes my fancy that day, be it new Country, Classic Rock, or instrumental remixes, such as those performed by “The Piano Guys” (check them out on You Tube, they are amazing). It’s all about the feeling the music elicits. Driving to work the other day Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing” came on the radio and I was instantly transported to the back seat of the family car on a warm summer’s day. The windows were down, the music was up and my family indulged in some automobile Karaoke. I can picture the grin on Dad’s face as he belted out “Whoo hoo” whenever he heard the tune. On another occasion, it seemed as though Dad was playing shotgun DJ as I drove to the office. We used to go “cruising” on Friday nights if mom was working and my siblings out for the evening. Dad would play a mixed tape (yes tape… it was a while ago),
we’d turn up the volume and just enjoy each other’s company. John Cougar MellEncamp, The Beatles, CCR and Bryan Adams featured loudly on those nights and I experience a real sense of peace and joy when I hear these tunes today. That drive, feeling as though Dad was beside me once again, taking one last trip, was almost bittersweet, a feeling of love that transcends the worlds. For me, music is a way to connect with loved ones, to bring people together and to remember special occasions. My husband and I don’t have one song - we have a soundtrack created by stolen moments, found opportunities and long drives in the country. Music is a language and feeling that is more than simply notes and lyrics, it becomes woven into the fabric of one’s life experience. Does anyone else have this type of love affair with music? Post your comments on our Facebook page, facebook.com/ Ossekeag or send them to amanda@ ossekeag.ca. I’d love to hear about your favourite bands and memories! 0001

ExERCISE FOR HEALTH ARE YOU WORKING HARD ENOUGH? Exercising isn’t all fun and games although it can be enjoyable. How can you tell if you are working hard enough to make a difference? If you are consistent with your workout routine you should feel the effects within a week or two, your muscles will begin to feel firmer and maybe a little slackness in your wardrobe. Will you loose multiple inches and form a six pack within two weeks? No. The health benefits will show up quite quickly though, your body will respond to the exercise much quicker than you think. Daily exercising makes and keeps your muscles toned and strong the secret is consistency keep at it, make it a habit, make it a part of your day. Working hard enough does not mean you have to be gasping for breath and leaving yourself in pain or soreness from head to toe. Soreness is a result of working a muscle harder than you have been, or maybe you engaged a
muscle you haven’t been focusing on before. Muscular soreness usually is at its worst 24-48 hours after a strenuous workout, then it will heal itself quite quickly. A little light activity with the sore muscle will actually alleviate some of your soreness. You should not be working yourself so hard that you are sore all the time. Focus on a muscle group then focus on a different muscle group then change it up a little or work the muscle group in a different way. Pay attention to your heart rate, a good rule to follow is if you feel comfortable and can speak easily while you are working out. You should be trying to increase your heart rate, get the blood pumping a little harder without making yourself feel exhausted, lightheaded or nauseated. Do not exercise immediately after eating and drinking this can give you acid reflux and an upset stomach and exercising without eating or drinking
can leave you feeling depleted very quickly. Wait an hour after you eat or if you haven’t eaten for hours have a small snack and remember to stay hydrated sipping often during your workout. So head to the gym, outside or to your treadmill do it often and for a good half hour. There are 168 hours in a week if you worked out every day for half an hour that would only add up to 3 ½ hrs all week! No excuses, just do it! 0046

wELL RESTEd HOW DO I GET USED TO WEARING A CPAP MASK? If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, or have symptoms such as snoring, gasping in your sleep and daytime sleepiness, you may be prescribed a CPAP machine by your doctor. Although worth the effort, getting accustomed to CPAP can take time. Here are some tricks and tips to help you along the way, getting you the good night sleep you long for. Some suggest that everyone take baby steps when getting used to CPAP. I suggest, however, trying the mask while sleeping right off the bat. You may be surprised how easily you take to it. Starting with a nap may take the pressure off a bit, since you do not have a long eight hour stretch ahead of you. If you are struggling with the mask, can’t fall asleep or repeatedly have to readjust the straps, go ahead and take it off. It is meant to help you sleep, not agitate you so much that you cannot fall asleep. Once you are good and sleepy or, perhaps even fall asleep and wake up a little, put it back on. Your body and
brain are much more likely to doze off very quickly at this point. Even while you are sleeping, you are getting used to the mask and the air blowing through the mask. You are becoming accustomed to the treatment. If you are quite anxious about the thought of a mask on your face, or have a history of claustrophobia, let your Respiratory Therapist know. Personally, I have helped dozens of extremely claustrophobic clients learn to love their mask. People with sleep apnea are much more likely to suffer from claustrophobia. It makes perfect sense. Sleep apnea is a disorder where your own throat tissue closes off and chokes you repeatedly through the night. That may sound extreme, but it is exactly what is happening. The panic you feel when thinking of something over your face, that might obstruct your air, is a natural reaction to your constant choking all night. You don’t consciously know it’s happening, but your brain does.
With special techniques to get used to the mask slowly and show you that you actually get more air with the mask, the panic sensation goes away and your mask becomes your new best friend. Maybe even a life saver. Wearing a CPAP mask is very similar to getting glasses for the first time, or wearing a wedding ring. At first you are so conscious of it, you fiddle with it and think you’ll never get used to it. Eventually, it becomes your new normal and you feel lost without your new best friend. 0038

SELF ESTEEM THE MEANING OF LIFE Life. There is no one definition that can be agreed upon. Biologists use words such as cells, DNA, molecules and electromagnetism in their definition. Alchemists believe life involves earth, wind, fire and water. What does ‘life’ mean to you? In some cases, definitions are simple. ‘Life’ is not simple, nor is the meaning of it. It consists of a collection of concepts. Life can be defined as the existence of an individual human being or animal; a state of living characterized by metabolism, capacity for growth, reaction to stimuli and reproduction; the power of adaptation to environment originating internally. Lost yet? Trying to define life can drive you crazy! I believe the reason there is no clear cut definition is because it is different for each of us. Life is a process, not a substance. How you choose to define your life gives it meaning. Life IS what you make it! So, make it interesting, make it count.
Simple realizations can help you find meaning. In my 40+ years here on earth, this is what I’ve learned so far: The meaning of life is your own. Don’t waste time on things you don’t enjoy. You will never excel at something you hate. Patience, passion and dedication come easily when you are doing what you love; Do not allow others to define your life. Do not be afraid of others’ opinions. Fear paralyzes you. If you let it, it will only get worse and take over your life. Listen to your inner voice and go for it.

Begin again with the new knowledge you have acquired; Be a warrior, not a worrier. You can let your life be created by circumstances, missing it day by day, hour after hour or you can choose to live it fully. We all have potential but it takes a lot of courage to realize it. Though ‘life’ may not have one precise definition, its meaning is clear….choose to have a meaningful life and you will find its meaning. 0027

PAINTING TO BE UNVEILED AT BATTLE COMMEMORATION On April 9, 100 years to the day after the event, a large new painting of the World War 1 Battle of Vimy Ridge will be unveiled in Sussex as part of the 8th Hussars Museum commemoration of the battle. On April 9 1917, 20,000 Canadian men huddled in trenches and caves at the foot of Vimy Ridge in northern France. At 5:30am in driving sleet and snow, they attacked behind pounding artillery and rattling machine guns. As many Canadians know, they took the ridge from the Germans that day. It was one of the most successful battles of the war to that point, and it's an event that many historians have said played a critical part in the growth of Canada's sense of itself as an independent nation. The 8th Hussars Museum will mark the anniversary with a special presentation at the Sussex Legion. Tom
McLaughlin, the Museum's Director will give an overview of the battle. Stephen Wilson, a retired history teacher will speak about eight Kings County men who fought there. Many relatives of these men are expected to attend. Darryl Zinck, a collector of militaria will speak about the four Victoria
Crosses, the highest medal for bravery that were won that day and Wes Jagoe, a singer-songwriter from Saint John, will perform the song he wrote for his grandfather, a New Brunswicker who took part in the battle. At the end of the program, Fred Harrison's painting will be unveiled. More than six feet long, it was commissioned specially by the 8th Hussars Museum. Fred Harrison is well-known in Sussex for his vibrant painted murals on town buildings. The commemoration of the Battle of Vimy Ridge will take place Sunday, April 9 at 1:30pm at the Sussex Legion. The public is welcome and there is no admission charge. If you would like to reserve a seat please call the museum at 433-5226 or email: hussarssussex@nb.aibn.com. 4458

TENdING TO My PATCH SENIORS’ GARDENING Let's face it, none of us are getting any younger, but that doesn't mean we have to give up our favorite pastimes. Not only will gardening make seniors continue to feel independent, but it has been proven to reduce the level of stress and other negative health factors. Gardening is a wonderful way for seniors to remain active, healthy, and happy. Did you know that as we get older our eyesight might become somewhat hazy? For senior gardeners with impaired vision, try using pelletized seeds or seed tape for easier planting. When choosing plants for the garden, select those that are bright in color and ones that appeal to all the senses. Therefore, use a variety of textures, forms, colors, and fragrances. As safety is always a concern, especially for senior gardeners, make sure the garden is designed with this in mind. Raised beds, containers, and vertical planting make garden maintenance easier for senior gardeners. Raised beds are especially useful for wheelchair bound

seniors. The Tips outlined below are just a starting point to your own imagination: Tip #1 - Say goodbye to your aching back. With just a few minor modifications, a garden can be an easier place to work. Think raised flower beds. Tip #2 - A centralized water bucket keeps you from lugging heavy containers to water your plants. Or, if economically feasible, consider installing sprinklers. The ease of use will far outweigh the cost. Tip #3 - Think perennials, shrubs, and trees instead of annuals. Also, native plants are a good idea to make sure the plant is properly suited to your area and will be easier to grow. This is both convenient for you, and better for your environment. Tip #4 - Mulch is not merely to bring a decorative touch to your property. It's meant to keep plants cool, to conserve its water, and to help provide a barrier to weeds. A small layer of newspaper under the mulch of choice will also provide
an organic biodegradable landscaping fabric. Mulch will break down over the season and will help enrich the soil. It's a win-win necessity for any garden. Tip #5 - Invest in the right tools for your garden. Have oversized rakes and shovels with the ergonomic padded handles. As you can see, with just a little foresight, most senior gardeners can bask in the glory of a wonderful colorful garden without putting stress or strain on their body. Getting older doesn't mean you have to lose out on the things you love, or chance putting yourself at risk. By following the above tips, you'll be sharing floral arrangements with the neighbors in no time. 0034

SALVATION ARMY VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION GALA
Jan Barr cutting the cake
Appreciation to Sussex Rotary Club
Promote your business

The Sussex Herald
As Major Judy Folkins stated in her opening address, volunteerism is “Touching the Lives of others”. This was certainly evident on Friday, February 17 as approximately 110 volunteers joined Major Stan Folkins, Major Judy Folkins, Kathy Holloway and Mark Kisch at The Salvation Army Sussex Community Church for the annual “volunteer appreciation gala”. Also present were Alaina Lockhart, MP for Fundy Royal, Bruce Northrup, MLA for Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins, individual volunteers, representatives from the local business community, service clubs in Sussex and Hampton, community group and schools. Those present comprised approximately onehalf of the volunteer force involved in the 2016 Christmas Campaign, as well
as those who serve throughout the year, spanning all walks of life, from babes in arms, to the working class and retirees. Some have made volunteering for The Salvation Army a seasonal family tradition, taking shifts every year as part of their holiday celebration. Red Hatter Jan Barr, veteran, is this year’s senior member at 95 years young. Still driving, Ms. Barr has been volunteering for the Kettle Campaign for approximately 20 years and has already committed to participate again during the 2017 season. She opened the ceremony by cutting the cake, after which tea, coffee, and cupcakes (frosted in The Salvation Army’s colours of yellow, red and blue) were handed out. The mood was uplifting as stories of the families helped and tales of the hope that The Salvation Army provides were shared by the staff and volunteers alike. It was heartwarming to learn that The Salvation Army was able to provide food hampers, gift cards, pajamas, toys and other necessities to many families and individuals at Christmas. Bruce Northrup kicked off the Christmas campaign and between the Kettle drive, the Christmas letter appeal, the Sussex Christian School toy drive and the Sussex Regional High School pajama drive, among other sponsored events and with the generous support of the community, The Salvation Army was able to provide help at Christmas for 683 people, which included 350 adults, 85 teenagers and 240 children. In addition to Christmas, The Salvation Army provides assistance to over 100 families per month. Major Stan stated that he was privileged to be able to work with the “most generous community per capita in the country”. The Salvation Army has been serving Sussex and area for over 130 years and continues today to provide hope to everyone who comes through their doors. They are here to help, always with dignity and respect. The Sussex Salvation Army is grateful for the generosity of those who partner with them and working together, are able to bring relief to the disadvantaged in our community, both at Christmas and throughout the year. 4447
TALES FROM THE CAMERA bAG CHANGING FOCUS Reading Howard Zehr's book "Contemplative Photography" has me thinking, why is photography so aggressive? Do we "Take" pictures or "shoot" them? Why do we "aim" our cameras and become "snap shooters"? There are so many articles today about the war on photography. Sure some of the paranoia stems from 9/11 but I think some of it is from our approach to photography. You have the paparazzi stealing pictures of celebrities. When "shooting" street photography many people "shoot" from the hip or use long lens, all this lending to the feeling of photographers taking something from someone. Not to often do we hear tales of people connecting then agreeing to share that visual collaboration. Howard Zehr points out in his book that this wasn't always the case. In the years of yore we needed to have collaboration as we loaded the film into the camera one at a time. We needed to speak to those in
front of our cameras to get the right smile or expression. Light reflects off our subject and is gathered on our sensor, but, we as photographers reflect what we see and perhaps what we feel. To do this we must "Change our Focus". We can be technically brilliant but boring because we don't know how to compose an image. We could be a fair weather photographer but miss the dramatic skies. I used to drive around in my car and look for that trophy shot to be taken, but, as I learn to ‘change focus’ I am spending more time in a place and being open to receive the gift that is the next image. As Freeman Patterson once wrote; "Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, your intellect and your emotions. It means, encountering your subject matter with your whole being, It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you". The tension in the world is creating a

paranoia, is that photographer taking picture of my children? The security guard gets nervous as you set up a tripod to take an image of the beautiful architecture. We as photographers don't actually "take" anything. We as creatives are making images, sharing the beauty that surrounds us, and are willing to receive the gift the comes from being open. Changing focus from taking to receiving, from shooting to creating, or from being in control to anticipation, these little changes won't change the world, but, in our own little way we may change how we and others look at photography.
