On Our Cover
It’s a beautiful spring like morning even though it’s winter. The temperature is warm even though it’s March. It’s 5:30am and I’m out walking in the fresh air with my sneakers and light jacket on. Gone are my winter boots, hat, mitts, and scarf! As I’m walking I see individuals out with their pet dogs, walking and jogging. I think back to my childhood and our neighbour’s pet cat “George” who used to be at our home all the time. George was a member of our family and he brought so much joy and happiness to all of us. Although I have many fond memories of growing up with George, one memory in particular was when I was five years old. George was an older cat, black and white in colour, and who allowed me to dress him up. On one particular day I took my younger brother’s baby clothes, his knitted blue coloured hat, booties and sweater and dressed him up. After dressing George in my brother’s Sunday clothes, I wrapped him in my brother’s baby blanket, put him in my doll stroller and off we went. George and I went to visit a resident at the Sacred Heart Home, a nursing home across the street from where I grew up and the original owner of George. I was very excited for her to see him. When we arrived at the nursing home we went onto the elevator to the 4th floor. When the elevator door opened there were women standing there and one asked if she could see the baby. Still wrapped in the blanket, I proudly lifted
him out of my doll stroller and said this is “George”. When she went to peek inside the blanket I pulled it back, then she could see his face and whiskers poking out with his blue bonnet still on. The next thing I remember was this resident screaming because of the shock of seeing a cat and not a baby!!!!!! The staff were very nice and George and I continued on our journey to visit with our friend and she was so excited to see and spend time with her precious George. However, when I got home my parents told me I could not take George back to the nursing home as the administrator had called and said pets were not allowed in the building. How could this be I thought because George brought so much joy and love to this resident and to my family. Today we see pets being an important part of resident’s lives in nursing homes and pets can be an important part in a family's life where they can bring love and comfort. For me growing up, George was the best pet I could ever have asked for. 0001

CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY IN SUSSEX The first International Women’s Day was celebrated in 1909 in New York. Since then, more than 100 countries have come to celebrate this holiday. For some, the focus of the day continues to be a call for gender equality. For others, this is simply a day to express love and support for women. The theme of Women’s Day 2016 is "Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality". According to internationalwomensday.com, we can all take action on this day by pledging to support gender equality, whether this means to “help women and girls achieve their ambitions, call for gender-balanced leadership, respect and value difference, develop more inclusive and flexible cultures or root out workplace bias”. This March 8, The Sussex Committee for the Prevention of Family Violence and the Sussex Sexual Assault Prevention Committee invites the public to celebrate International

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG PRE-VISUALIZE AN IMAGE Please, let me introduce myself. My family and friends might say that I am young of heart. I am a husband, father, Opa, son, brother, retired firefighter, woodworker wannabe, hate board games and mind games, love art and dark chocolate, I wish I read more and I am in search of great coffee. Tales from the Camera bag will be a monthly collection of thoughts, ideas, tips and stories from my delve into photography. I will have stories from the great friends that I have made along my journey. It won’t be a technical column as my brain melts when I try to learn technical details. Tips, but of course. They will be varied and addressed at different skill levels. My hope is that you may learn and laugh from my mistakes, take a look at your own photographic journey and just think about the art of photography. My wife ( Libby ) and I were contemplating a trip to Europe and she said “I want to go to Amsterdam during the tulip season”. Hmm, that sounds very picturesque I thought, perhaps I should get a new camera. I

wanted something capable, lightweight and with interchangeable lens. Research ensued, looking over peer reviews and reading countless articles. Yet, somehow I went against the popular trend where DSLR's ( digital single lens reflex) are king and decided on the Sony A55, which uses Translucent Mirror Technology. My journey with photography and mirrorless cameras thus far has been a fantastic experience. I joined the KVCC ( Kennebecasis Valley Camera Club) and it proved to be my best decision, as I have made many lifelong friends with whom I have already shared some great adventures. I took some good natured ribbing as they teased me, flashing their semi-professional cameras, and asking me what I intended to do “with that little camera”. The lessons I learned along the way was that it is the “grey matter “behind the lens that counts. As I looked at folks who suffered from GAS ( gear acquisition syndrome) I realized that it was not all about the gear but about the

vision and the effort you are willing to put into your images that matter. Ansel Adams, for example was known for two things, his deliberate approach to photography and his ability to previsualize, a term that is now attributed to him. Ansel would go to an area many times to become aware of how the scene he was photographing was going to react to the different atmospheric and the changes of light. In order to capture the picture he wanted meant that timing was critical, no small feat when you consider the equipment he needed to carry. I encourage you to grab your camera, start imagining and, pre-visualizing an image in your mind's eye and make it happen. Shoot, Print, Share. 0032

With another year under her belt as a small business owner, Kelly is very grateful to still be doing what she loves. Now going into her 8th year, she says her continued success is still a combination of customer service, great staff and the quality of the end product. She is very appreciative of her loyal customers, and also all the new customers she and the staff meet. In these times when big box stores seem to be the monopoly, it is more important than ever to focus on personalized customer service. Kelly thanks the people of Sussex and surrounding area for their continued support.

FOOT ‘PRINTS’ FUNGAL NAIL LASER TREATMENTS Fungus is a common foot infection affecting either the skin, when known as Tinea Pedis (Athlete’s Foot), or the nails, when known as Onychomycosis. Although usually contracted from another person, especially in communal areas that are wet and warm and where bare feet are present, such as swimming pools and showers, but fungus in its inactive form (Fungal Spores), may be present and contracted anywhere. Tinea Pedis often presents as an itchy, red and moist rash, found particularly in between the toes and in the arches of the feet. In terms of treatment, you should see your family doctor or a podiatrist to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out similar foot conditions. All shoes and footwear should be sanitized. In my Loch Lomond Road Office, we have a Klenz and Silver Technology Machine (klenzcanada.com) which takes eight minutes to sanitize shoes.
A fungal skin infection of the foot is relatively easy to treat with over the counter preparations from the pharmacy. You should speak to your pharmacist to recommend the best one for your topical treatment. This can take up to six weeks. It is a good idea, once the skin looks normal, to continue treatment for two more weeks to kill any spores which may still be present. Because toenails are dead, they do not have blood or nerve supply once they have left the root, which is just above the bone. Fungal nails can appear thick with yellow, grey, white and black streaks. They are crumbly in texture. At the Loch Lomond Road office, we have Saint John and area’s only Podiatry Fungal Nail Laser - a Class 4 Fotona Machine (this laser uses accelerated laser beams to burn and destroy the fungus in the nail plate).
This is more effective and safer than taking oral medications, which can possibly cause serious Liver problems. Topical medications can be effective but may have to be applied daily for nine months to a year. 0025

Q. Can bankruptcy help me with my tax problems? A. Income tax debts are unsecured debts and, as
such, the debt will be extinguished as a result of bankruptcy. HST is also an unsecured claim in bankruptcy. If you were self employed and owe HST, then your bankruptcy will extinguish your obligation to pay the outstanding HST. If you were self-employed and have unpaid source deductions then that claim, too, is extinguished through the bankruptcy process, although the claim ranks first against non-exempt assets. Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) has the right to garnis h wages , but this right c eas es on bankruptc y. Thus if you owe tax and have not yet filed for bankruptcy, CRA can send a garnishment notice to your employer which will result in a portion of your wages or salary being withheld and sent to CRA. Once you file for bankruptcy, the garnishment will be stopped immediately as CRA cannot continue with collection proceedings once a person is bankrupt, just as a credit card company or other unsecured creditor is prohibited from continuing collection activities. Income taxes, HST and source deductions that arise for the period after bankruptcy must, however, be paid as they are “post-bankruptcy” debts. Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty. Additional information can be obtained on our website or by contacting our office. Matthew J. Munro, CGA, CIRP, Trustee in Bankruptcy

ASK THE CHEF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
With Two Locations to Serve You
of grapes when hanging from the tree. From this point, many people started trying to make their own hybrids by crossing tangerine and other citrus to make a new grapefruit. The introduction of the ruby grapefruit was introduced in 1929. Believe it or not, this was created by exposing the grapefruit to radiation to affect the enzyme to create this ruby colour. It was so popular a fruit that most of the grapefruit that came before, went extinct since everyone just wanted the ruby grapefruit. It was so popular that the ruby grapefruit is actually a symbolic fruit in Texas. So the reason I thought that that calling the grapefruit, the forbidden fruit applies strongly today is that the Grapefruit is one fruit that can cause adverse effects in many drugs. Grapefruit juice contains furanocoumarin, which irreversibly inhibit a metabolizing enzyme called CYP3A4. CYP3A4 is a metabolizing enzyme for almost 50%

of drugs. So if you are on medication, most likely you should avoid grapefruit, making it a forbidden fruit. But this was discovered hundreds of years after the original name. Maybe it’s the food nerd in me, but this is stuff I find fascinating. Grapefruit is very nutritional. Very high in vitamin C, high in antioxidants and has shown that it reduces cholesterol in your system. So as long as you are not on any medication, grapefruit is a great food source for a stronger body. Who knew that this mistake of a plant, which ends up being exposed to radiation, would be so good for you and show up in all grocery stores and become a staple in many people's diet. 0040

Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week I read an article on the forbidden fruit. What do you think is the forbidden fruit? I would have assumed the apple, after the story of Adam and Eve, but in fact the forbidden fruit is grapefruit. So why is the grapefruit the forbidden fruit? I guess we should start with what is a grapefruit and where does the name come from. The grapefruit is a subtropical citrus tree which produces a semi-sweet fruit. It is a hybrid discovered first in Barbados in 1750. It is a cross between the sweet orange of Jamaica and the pomelo. When it was first discovered by a Welshman named Rev. Griffith Hughes, he named it the forbidden fruit, since it was not fruit made from God. In 1823, Count Odet Phillipe brought the fruit to Florida and renamed it grapefruit. This name comes from the fact that grapefruit looks like clusters

THE CURMUDGEON I’M AT THAT AGE WHEN . . . Completing the Canadian Business magazine’s on-line life expectancy quiz seemed like a fun Sunday evening’s entertainment. The good news: I’ve a better than fighting chance of reading this when it appears in print. Statistics Canada estimates the average life expectancy of a New Brunswick born male to be somewhere around 78 years. Canadian Business magazine gave me an additional year. Whoo-hoo! The magazine’s quiz took into account several lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking and eating way too much good food. So . . . then I started thinking – which, as my wife will attest, ain’t necessarily a good thing. What if, all other things being equal, I smoked, drank way too much and generally just out did myself in the deadly sin of gluttony? Well, I
surmised, common wisdom being what it is, I’d probably be dead by now. So, I re-ran the numbers, keeping all things equal except now I smoked two or more packs a day, drank a fish bowl or two of the demon whiskey weekly and ate enough meat to garner my own PETA campaign. And, drum roll please, with all this added sinning, I’ll kick that bucket of moonshine one year sooner – or, more accurately, I’ll live as long as Statistics Canada has already said I would. So, here I am, staring at life’s sunset wondering if maybe this would be the time to take up these vices. I mean what have I got to lose? You do only live once and what’s a year anyway? A mere rounding error, I’d suggest. Of course, neither Statistics Canada nor Canadian Business factored in my loving spouse’s response should
I decide to do something this stupid. That response, I can reasonably assure you, would seriously jeopardize my chances of living long enough, or at the least being healthy enough, to read this in print. I’ll go back to my dry toast and tea now . . . 0002

1) Doesn't everyone snore? Most people snore at some point. You are more likely to snore if you have a cold, are very tired, lay on your back or after ingesting alcohol or certain medications. Many people snore several times a week or every night. The snoring might indicate a very serious sleep disorder - Sleep Apnea. Snoring is partial closure of the throat causing the tissue to vibrate, which causes the snoring. For many, the throat tissue closes off completely and causes the person to stop breathing; this is called Sleep Apnea and contributes to conditions such as daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart failure. 2) Do I have to stay overnight in the hospital for the test? Most people can be tested in the comfort of their own bed. A small device consisting of a belt, finger probe and breathing monitor are applied before bed and removed in the morning. The data is then sent to a doctor specializing in sleep medicine to be assessed. The client is called with the results and report is sent to your family doctor. 3) I can't wear a big mask when I sleep, I'm claustrophobic. Is there something else I can use? The gold standard treatment for sleep apnea is CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). Often a small device
is applied under the nose and a light flow of air is blown into the throat to keep it open so the person can breathe at night exactly like they do during the day. They can get into a deep sleep instead of having many awakenings as they catch their breath. A one month free trial is offered to make sure the treatment is beneficial to you. 4) I can't afford a CPAP machine anyway. Your health insurance plan most likely covers CPAP equipment. If you already have a CPAP machine you are usually covered for replacement tubes and filters. A new CPAP machine is generally covered every five years. 0038

SPECIAL ‘NEEDS’ DOG NEEDS A HOME Maritime Greyhoung Adoption Program recently brought up 14 exracing greyhounds and they will be placed into loving foster homes and are all looking for families to adopt them. We have a very special boy to tell you about and hope you can help him find a forever home. His racing name is DS Unique Unit – he is a big gorgeous red fawn who weighs 78 lbs. He just turned two years old in December (and greyhounds can live up to 14 years). He suffered a broken bone just above his elbow during his racing days and due to the nature of break, the vet recommended not to do surgery . However, it resulted with it "elbowing out" due to the way he laid during healing. Due to this particular break, the vet advised not to re-break it, and said he's perfectly fine as a pet dog, but no one looks at him now and he has been waiting months, as people pass him by for a more “perfect” dog. When we heard of his story, we had to bring him up and find a very special family for him. He is a very happy boy, sweet and super friendly! 3961

LISTEN IN WE ARE RICH IN TALENT “Music that is off the beaten path. If you think classical music is just Beethoven and Braun, you’re wrong. Although we do that too.” Is how David Dow, Public Relations Manager of the Musica Viva New Brunswick Orchestra explains what they do. The orchestra just finished a very successful back to back December performance of The Nutcracker Ballet with the Atlantic Dance Academy in Sackville at Convocation Hall for over 1000 music and arts lovers. David tells me they plan their performances by rotating around the province. “We are in the early stages of working on a performance in May for Fredericton”, David elaborates on some of their future plans. I really love the forward thinking and open-minded creativity of this orchestra. The orchestra is conducted by Dr. James Mark. Learn more about them at: musicavivanb.ca. There are also some stellar live music shows happening in the greater Saint John area you may want to mark on your calendar as a “not to miss” evening out
on the town. Spring time and music are literally in the air as shows in the area will be blooming as early as April. Of course I’m sure you heard that folk songwriting icon James Taylor with his all-star band is coming to town at Harbour Station on May 15. The popular power-folk duo Tomato/ Tomato are performing March 19 at the Saint John Theatre Company as part of the “Live at the BMO Music Series”. Tickets are available by going to ticketpro.ca. Country music legends, The Good Brothers are coming back to the city for an April 17 Sunday matinee gig at the Bourbon Quarter in the uptown. Charlotte county rising star Eloie Richard will be opening the show. The Goods were part of the infamous and outrageous cross country Festival Express tour with a who’s who of music royalty of the early 1970’s including the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Ian & Sylvia and The Band. Country star and NB Country music hall of famer, Joan Kennedy is performing
April 24 at the Anglican Parish Church on the Kingston Peninsula. Opening for Joan is Saint John troubadour, Clinton Charlton. Blues comes to town April 29, 9:00pm when Juno Award winning bluesman Morgan Davis performs another unforgettable and highly entertaining show at the Bourbon Quarter. On May 1, the one and only David Francey, along with his full band, will perform at the Shiretown Publicans in Hampton. Special Guest on this one is PEI’s own Ashley Condon. All tickets for these shows can be purchased at the Imperial theatre Box office and online at: imperialonline.nb.ca. Try to go out and support live music in your community! Lots of it! 0041
