It's no secret that I love my kitties. I have two cats, Darla (age 13) and Rufus (age 10), and I consider them to be more than mere pets; they are my “fur babies”. They are also incredibly spoiled, willful, demanding, and needy. I take full responsibility for their bad manners since I was fairly young when Darla came home and I thought it was just “so cute” that she liked to sit on my table, crawl through my cupboards and yowl when she wanted attention. When Rufus joined our little family unit, I had learned that discipline was my friend, but with Darla's bad influence, Rufus doesn't have many manners either, although she, at least, doesn't yowl. Needless to say, Kevin and I did not start dating until long after I had spoiled my fur babies rotten; had he been present from the beginning, I'm quite certain, and Kevin assures me, that Darla and Rufus would understand that the humans in the home are in charge, and not the other way around. When Kevin moved in, he did try to impose some control, unfortunately the cats have me very well trained and, despite Kevin's best efforts, I still tend to spoil them. The cats grew up sleeping with me and it took almost a month for me to break myself of the habit of letting them into the bedroom at night. I honestly think the change was harder for me than for the cats! Despite the difficulties posed by loving two spoiled kitties, they certainly make life interesting. As I am writing
this, Rufus is bird watching from our patio window. She thinks I can't see her, but is unaware that her feet are sticking out underneath the curtain. I can see them twitching in excitement. Darla has a blue plastic spring that she is absolutely in love with. It's her favourite toy and she will leap, pounce, run and attack that silly thing all hours of the day. Rufus is less refined in her taste of toys... she likes to steal the plastic covers from milk cartons. We also play fetch with a leather belt loop she scavenged when we cleanedout the closet. For me, the joy of watching them chase inanimate objects and lounge in their favourite sunny spot makes up for any trials and tribulations which may transpire when dealing with an opinionated feline. Kevin is less convinced, but I have often caught him cuddling with one of the cats. There is something so satisfying about having a lap-full of purring fur baby, cuddles and snuggles being a great way to end the day. Truly, I can't imagine life without them. 0001

PIC OF THE MONTH Congratulations to Leslie Cole, who submitted this photo of sunrise in the Hampton area to the “Pic of the Month” contest for March. Leslie has won a Movie Pass (for two, including drinks & popcorn), compliments of Ossekeag Publishing. “April Showers & Waterdrops” is the theme for April. Karl’s tips: you want to convey motion, so secure camera to tripod or on a ledge, create your composition and with a slow shutter speed you will see that the rain streaks by giving a sense of motion. Likewise shooting the splattering in the puddles also conveys motion; In regards to water droplets you will need to mount your camera to a tripod, go manual focus and focus on a droplets or a line of droplets (like on a web). You will likely need supplemental lighting either with a off camera flash or a flash light.
To make it more interesting place a flower behind the droplets, then focus carefully on the droplet to be amazed at the upside down image of the flower within the droplet. Please visit our website: Ossekeag.ca to see the runner-up photo for March and sample photos of our theme for April (photo credit to Bev England). Remember - no people or pets please, digital copies only and photos must be horizontal (landscape) not vertical (portrait). Only photos relating to the current theme will be considered. Submissions are to be emailed, as attachments, to editorial@ossekeag. ca and must be received by the 25 th of each month. Contest winner will be notified by email when selection is made and vouchers must be picked up within 30 days. Happy shooting!! 0037

It has been a year and a half since a group of concerned Sussex area citizens formed Community Action for Refugees - Sussex (CAR-S). Shortly thereafter a public meeting, attended by over 150 people from the greater community, was held at the Jubilee Hall in Sussex. It was clear that many residents in our area had great concerns about the status of refugees in the world, especially the Syrian refugees who were being driven from their homeland by civil war. Thus began an effort, through a sponsoring agency, to bring refugees to our area. Fundraisers were begun and donations of money and household goods were generously given by businesses, church families, community groups and individuals. We had great success with our refugee program in 2016. We had the fortune of being matched with a family in April, and we greeted them on June 28. This couple came with their two young children. Six weeks later, we welcomed their third child into the world. The following day, August 11, we were again at the airport to welcome our second refugee family to Sussex. They came, also with their two young children. They are now expecting a third child in late spring. Thanks to the large number of community volunteers and generous donations, we quickly rallied to welcome our newcomers. Apartments were rented, furnished, and filled with provisions. Tutors began the process of teaching the newcomers the English language. Drivers helped with appointments and shopping. Social events were organized. The Sussex area community has been very welcoming to our newcomers. CAR-S wishes to sincerely thank all of those who have supported this worthwhile project with donations of money, household goods, vehicles, space for English instruction, and volunteer time, or who have just stopped on the street to welcome them to our community. CAR-S hopes to continue to welcome more refugees to our area in the future. Deborah Freeze, Secretary, CAR-S. 4472
IN THE GARDEN PREPARING FOR “DIGGING DAYS” Spring will be a little late this year, but it will come, never fear! Wouldn’t it be great if Mother Nature would just keep to the calendar? It will be quite a while before we can actually get digging, however the snow is melting fast in the spring sunshine and there are plenty of useful things that we can do before the ‘diggable days’ arrive. First and foremost is a major pick up of fallen branches; there has been no shortage of fierce winds during the winter and the detritus needs to be removed before mowing can safely commence. Many of the branches have been wrenched from trees and bushes leaving torn and damaged limbs in their wake; these will need to be pruned back to a healthy area as soon as possible so that new growth can gather all the goodness available. Broken limbs can still continue to produce weak growth, taking strength from the tree before dying from their injuries. Speaking of mowing, this is a great time for doing some maintenance on your
mowers, and if you depend as I do on the skills of a mechanic, then it is prudent to make a date now with one of these magical chaps. By the time these chores are complete we should be able to have a go at the flower borders; but with care and restraint! Beneath the soil are many bulbs and perennials that will not see the light of day for several weeks and the danger of digging up, or worse, slicing into a treasured bulb is ever present. If you can, reach into the border and remove leaves from around the plants and prevent the mould that can grow there, particularly prevalent with the Iris family. Refrain from raking as this can seriously damage young shoots hiding in the leaves, by handpicking the leaves you can also catch hold of and demolish a variety of undesirable pests still groggy from their winter sleep before they multiply. Now you can start on the most rewarding early spring exercise; edging! A good

half moon edger, a border fork and a wheelbarrow and you can transform a border into a work of art without the risk of damage to your plants. The turf that is removed can be dumped in the compost and the soil remaining scooped up toward the border leaving a smart edge. It is fairly safe while you do this to remove any weeds within a foot of the edge as most plantings will be beyond that point. Blessings.

UNFILTERED SPRING AHEAD WITH FANTASTIC WHITE & ROSE WINES! Spring is finally in the air! Time to bring out the barbecue, wash the salt off of our cars, and go shopping for some nice refreshing white wines and roses. This time of year and throughout the summer heavy reds can be a little bit too much. Tis the season for light reds, whites, roses and Mamosa! With Easter just around the corner as well I thought that this week I would like to recommend some really good quality whites and roses available that would be lovely to serve with a ham or turkey dinner. When it comes to whites many people tend to gravitate. Pinot Grigio is a good wine, don’t get me wrong, but it can get very boring very fast. There are many more interesting and complex white wines and roses to try. My list below is made up of many different styles of wines, Have fun experimenting with whites and roses
that you may not be familiar with. This is especially true when it comes to roses which are often mistakenly thought of as being sweet when in fact the best roses are dry. Nothing says Spring like a beautiful glass of rose. The wines that I am suggesting this week are each excellent examples of good quality wines. They have complexity, lovely aromas on the nose and pleasant finishes. Any of them would pair perfectly with your ham or turkey Easter dinner. Quail’s Gate Chardonnay from Canada; Mission Hill 5 Vineyards Pinot Grigio from Canada; Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Riesling from Washington State; Don David Torrontes from Argentina; Famille Bourgier Vouvray From France; Chloe Chardonnay from US; Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc

Happy
Easter
As is true for most of us, as I grow older I am realizing how much things have changed since I was a child. When I was growing up, we would decorate the house with pretty pastel baskets full of bunnies and chicks. We “helped” mom and dad blow the contents out of eggs so that we could decorate the shells and set up elaborate scenes with the Easter eggs, cardboard cutout train and mini figurines. This was all in preparation for the main event because Easter
meant chocolate. End of story. I looked forward to waking up to a basket of chocolate eggs and treats, to the point of not being able to sleep the night before. That being said, in our home, regardless of my fondness for sugary treats, Easter was more about family togetherness than about presents and candy. Depending on the weather, we may go for a hike and have a picnic supper, or spend the day with extended family at my grandparent’s home.
Happy Easter!

Now, the idea of family is even more important to me. Kevin and I don’t decorate for Easter, as the Easter bunny doesn’t stop at our house. Instead, we look forward to family events and seeing loved ones. Kevin’s family always has a lunch with all of the aunts, uncles and cousins. It’s a wonderful tradition, as we are all so busy this is the perfect opportunity to catch up. The family is large enough that we rent a church hall and have a pot-luck lunch. On

pretending to “help” mom and Jim put the finishing touches on supper while secretly sneaking pickles from the tray, scooping out the desserts and generally adding to the hustle and bustle. Far more than the chocolate (which I confess to still love, and bring home despite not having any children of my own to buy treats for) Easter has come to mean a time to spend with loved ones creating memories.

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE SPEAKING OF THE COTTAGE Your family has always had a great time at your cottage so it’s natural to assume you’ll be handing it off to your family after you’re gone. But if you don’t ask your adult children what they really want and plan for the tax consequences that may not happen. Here are a few essential cottage succession planning steps you should take. Speak of the cottage - talk to your adult children now and find out who wants to take on the responsibilities and who doesn’t. Then avoid future family squabbles by making arrangements so your non-cottage inheritors will be treated fairly in your will. Protect the cottage - unless you’re passing assets to a spouse, when you die you are deemed to have disposed of your capital assets at fair market value – meaning if your cottage property has appreciated in value, your estate will face a significant capital gains tax liability. You do have the benefit of a principal residence tax
exemption but you can apply it to just one property at a time and that can be either your cottage or your city home but the one you don’t choose will be subject to tax on its increased value. There will be tax consequences if your leave the property to your children in your will - so make sure there will be sufficient funds in your estate to pay any tax liabilities. Life insurance can be a good strategy for covering the capital gains on your cottage. The death benefits are usually tax-free and can be used as a ready source of cash to avoid a forced sale, to pay capital gains taxes, or to equalize your estate among cottage inheritors and non-cottage inheritors. Trying to escape paying tax by transferring your cottage to your children during your lifetime won’t work. It will trigger an immediate capital gain at the ‘fair market value’ of the property. And if you sell your children your cottage at less than ‘fair market value’ you will still have to pay tax
on the real price but your children will be deemed to have paid the lower price resulting in double taxation when they sell the cottage. The only advantage of transferring part or complete ownership during your lifetime is that the amount of the gain taxable in your hands is ‘capped’ at the time of the gift or sale. It’s a good idea to plan now for the succession of your cottage - and the rest of your estate, for that matter. Your professional and legal advisors can help you work through the options that are best for you. 0036

ICE BREAK-UP CONTEST
SENIORS’ BOWLING
When will the ice will leave Belleisle Bay? Last year, it moved out, off Hatfield Point Wharf on March 13 at 11:38am. Linda Teakles had the lucky guess and that was the earliest time recorded since 1897! The year before, Sean Reynolds had the right guess with April 26 at 7:48pm. What will it be this year? The ice was 16" thick at the beginning of March and some brave souls are still ice fishing. The latest date recorded was May 9, 1939! Sponsored by the Belleisle Watershed Coalition, funds raised will go to promote a sustainable environment in this significant ecological area. The dates of the ice break up were important to shipping on the Bay in the days when the riverboats travelled from Saint John. Now, ice break up means summer fun. Tickets are a toonie each, available at local stores such as Belleisle Creek Convenience or Valley View in Midland. Winner with the right time and date will receive 50% of revenue after expenses. 1000 tickets are available. Winner will be announced May 4 at Springfield Community Centre, 7:00pm. For more information, contact Sharon Cunningham 608-1503 for Belleisle Watershed Coalition, Inc. 4474

ASK MARY BEREAVEMENT IS A PROCESS My sister goes to her husband’s grave several times a week even though he has been dead for nine months. Does she have a problem? Everyone is different but many professionals and grievers would not consider visiting the grave that often a problem. For her, visiting his grave is a way to connect with her memories. Bereavement is a process and you need tools to work your way through your grief. For some, it takes a long time of interacting with a grave to come to the full realization that a loved one is dead. Some individuals never go to the grave. They believe that their loved one isn’t there, so why would they go there. I’ve learned that grievers handle their feelings differently, some would have no problem visiting the grave several times a week and others never go back. Sometimes people go to cemeteries because their family is not listening to their feelings of grief. When this happens it feels safe to have a talk with our
loved ones even though it’s a one sided conversation. They say that George Burns went to Gracie’s grave every week - it was a place where he could “tell her things”. In the old days, before perpetual care, families would look after the grave. It gave them a reason or acceptable explanation as to why they went to the grave so often. Sadly, after all this time it seems we still need to explain our visits – why is that? Quite simply, some just don’t know how to adjust to life without their loved one. They are more private and don’t like to talk about their feelings to others. They need their visits to the grave to help them with their grief. They find cemeteries to be a safe place to cry. No one thrusts a tissue at them and tells them that everything is going to be okay or that it’s time to move on. If you have a “problem” with your sister’s need to visit the grave, please keep it to yourself. I know that you love your sister and that you are worried, but her grieving
is normal. Your concern may sound like criticism and the last thing she needs is to feel criticized. Nine months is early in her grief journey. Your sister will find her way and slowly start healing, but it has to be when it’s right for her. Meantime, just be there for when she’s ready - offer her love, understanding and a safe place to talk. Please email me your questions: mary@ thesisterhoodofwidows. com.

NEW ‘BOB’ IN TOWN Hey, Sussex! There's a new BOB in town! Who’s BOB? He's a Big Orange Bin, and there are two of him in the Sussex area, including a new one at the Gateway Mall next to Sobeys. BOB’s job is to receive goods donated by folks who want to help people with a disability. The NB Association for Community Living (NBACL) has formed a partnership with the Crosswinds Occupational Activity Center in Sussex to manage the BOBs there, and share the proceeds earned by selling the goods he gathers. Both organizations use these proceeds to offer supports to the people they work with, so that folks with a disability can have a good life and learn, work and be a part of the community. But BOB is feeling a bit lonely these days, and hungry, so NBACVL and Crosswinds are encouraging the kind and generous folks of Sussex to get going on spring cleaning a bit early this year and bag up

FAMILY MATTERS MONEY MANAGEMENT MATTERS With this being tax season it seems appropriate to write about strategies families can use to teach money management at home. Money management is an important life skill but learning this skill is made more challenging with our paperless – cashless society. This life skill doesn’t have to be complicated and you can turn everyday activities into important monetary management lessons. Here are seven ways parents can teach their kids about financial responsibility. Use actual money to make purchases. Bills and coins make transactions more real. As a family, practice making change by playing store. Give your children a set amount of money and let them help you plan a grocery list and/or a list of activities to do each month. Teach the four components of money management: spending, saving, investing, and donating through an allowance. Give your kiddos four separate containers and allow your children to decide where their
money goes. Giving kids an allowance is a great way to teach hands-on money management. Invite your children to “help” with bill paying by giving them a play checkbook and showing them how to write checks. Role model bill paying and make it comfortable for your children to talk about money and how it is spent and saved in your household. Explain your purchasing decisions and the transactions you’re making. Tell stories (real anecdotes) about good and bad money management to convey your monetary values and commitments. For example, you could share with them the worst financial mistake you ever made and how you learned from that experience. Teach your kids how good it feels to earn money by helping them start their own business. They can help collect and price their toys, clothes or other items for a yard sale, clean house or perform yard work. Your kiddos can provide animal

Car Care
As the daughter of a mechanic I am rather embarrassed to admit just how little I know about the inner workings of motor vehicles. I know the names of some of the parts under the hood of my car, but when it comes to repairs and maintenance, I am at a loss. (To be honest, I figured I would always be able to depend on Dad for advice and the only reason I know how to refill my windshield washer fluid is thanks to my brother’s tutorial.) Although I am likely more clueless
than most, I do understand the importance of general maintenance and depend on my mechanic to help guide me through the must-haves, should-haves and can-wait-untillater aspects of car care. As Old Man Winter slowly releases his hold on the province and my thoughts turn to changing out winter tires and getting ready for summer travels, I thought now would be the perfect time to ask some of our local motor vehicle specialists for their tips on
helping your motor vehicle get in, and maintain, its’ peak performance shape.

as well as an idea of what he feels his customers need to know about car care. Stephen Kyle began working as a mechanic at the age of 17, in Riverview, and has been specializing in repairing transmissions since 1988. In addition to being a fully licensed mechanic, he is also a licensed transmission re-builder, who always dreamed of opening his own business. Seeing the need for a garage in the Sussex area, Stephen first opened Kyle’s Transmission on Labour day weekend, in 1997. Stephen, and
his family, have resided in the area since 1998 and his grown children continue to return home to Sussex during school breaks and for weekend visits. Joining him in the garage are Terry Adair, a fully licensed mechanic, who was hired at the age of 19 years and has been with the company from day two, and Randy Smith, who joined the team approximately 18 years ago. With many ties to the community Stephen Kyle and his team know their customers personally and strive to provide superior, customized, service

to each person. Stephen Kyle advises that regular servicing is key to ensuring your motor vehicle remains in good working order. He recommends frequent oil changes, and suggests that after a winter of fluctuating temperatures, pot holes, salt and rough roads, you should have your mechanic perform a general onceover of your vehicle to ensure that everything is in good working order. When it comes to servicing your transmission, Stephen advises that transmission fluid wears out and recommends having your transmission fluid and filter changed every 50,000-80,000 kilometers, depending on your vehicle, and what it is used for. At the same time, have any adjustments made and check for any small leaks in your transmission or related components that may lead to big problems down the road. With the rising cost of replacing a transmission, performing preventative maintenance can save you time and money, as well as providing peace of mind. When Kyle’s Transmission Services first opened, the shop serviced transmissions exclusively, however, over the past 20 years, the business has expanded, and Stephen and his team now operate a full service garage. Kyle’s Transmission is able to provide every service imaginable, from motor vehicle inspections and oil changes to general repairs and engine replacements, as well as everything in between. For fast, friendly and reliable service, Stephen Kyle and his team at Kyle’s Transmission Services are available to answer any questions, perform all required service and ensure the long-life of your vehicle.
SUSSEX PREFERRED AUTO SERVICES, 67 MOFFETT AVENUE, SUSSEX I also reached out to Troy McGibbon of Sussex Preferred Auto Service for his thoughts and recommendations regarding spring car care. Despite his
busy schedule, he was able to provide a brief history of his business before outlining a few tips of the trade. Troy advised that he has always enjoyed working with cars and trucks and, wanting to be his own boss, he opened his full service garage in February, 2009. Over the last few years, he has built a loyal customer base and continues to offer superior service to all who enter his shop. I know of one occasion when he went above and beyond, the call of duty, so to speak. Troy has been Kevin’s mechanic for years, so when the water pump went out of Kevin’s car the day before our wedding, Kevin contacted Troy for assistance. Troy immediately ordered the part in, but it did not arrive until Friday afternoon, and there was no time to replace the pump that day. Despite the shop being closed on Saturdays, Troy came that morning to replace the water pump... mere hours before the wedding ceremony was scheduled. Thanks to Troy, I was saved from knowing of the complication until
after it became an interesting footnote in the day’s events. Aside from rescuing stranded motorists, Troy and his team at Sussex Preferred Auto Services operate a full service garage, providing motor vehicle inspections, general maintenance, undercoating, and tire sales and installation, as well as servicing brakes and suspensions, exhaust systems and cooling systems, to name a few. Troy recommends preventative maintenance throughout the year, stressing the importance of oil changes, cleaning or replacing air filters and ensuring all fluids, including coolants, are kept topped up. Friendly and engaging, Troy has the ability to explain complex repairs in a way that a layman can easily understand, which is a definite asset to those of us using the “Car Care for Dummies” manual.

MORE THAN FITNESS SPRING IN TO FITNESS! Spring is now upon us and it is the season that is perfect for new beginnings! With the longer days and warmer weather soon to come, it is a great time to find the motivation needed to begin a new exercise program or to take your current program up a notch. As the weather begins to improve, you can begin to incorporate some outdoor fitness activities to your program, taking advantage of warmer weather to get out and get some fresh air and shake off the winter blahs. In addition to the many health benefits of physical activity, being active can also improve your mood, enhance your life and help to burn off stress, and getting out in the fresh air can enhance all of these things. Spring is a time to get back out and begin to explore the trails that have been covered in snow or to
dust off your bike and get it tuned up and ready to hit the road. Find activities that you enjoy and get the entire family out for fun filled fitness activities and fresh air. We are very fortunate here in Hampton to have a wonderful, well maintained trail system for our use. We are also very lucky to have local groups that promote outdoor activities such as the Hampton River Runners – a very supportive group that welcomes newcomers of all fitness levels. At Lifestyles, we will still be gearing up for our hiking and biking club to strike out for outdoor adventure. If you find the winter months difficult and the cold weather and shorter days hard to deal with, the return of spring is a time for rejuvenation – a time to explore new possibilities and get back out to enjoy some activities that may have gone by the wayside

LIVE WELL GETTING RID OF WINTER BLUES!! Spring has sprung… kind of! There is something hopeful, warm, and promising about a sunny day in March. The light, which during winter represents an icy and fleeting glow, is now a warm blanket trying to reheat the frozen ground and our frozen hands. Having gained an hour of sunlight, our bodies and minds are starting to remember warm summer nights and the long, sunburnt days spent at the beach. Not only is the sunlight a reminder of summer, but it is a ray of hope for those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Strangely enough, the exact causes of Seasonal Affective Disorder, ironically abbreviated as SAD, are still unknown. However, with the present research, experts believe SAD to be a form of depression resulting from seasonal variations in sunlight. The brain uses temperature and sunlight to regulate the body’s daily cycle of waking, eating, sleeping, etc. During winter, the decline in temperature and hours of
daily sunlight can cause a disruption in the brain’s circadian rhythm, also known as the “body clock”. Without a proper functioning “body clock”, depression-like symptoms can appear. The most common symptoms for SAD include: fatigue, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of anxiety or despair. Although only 2-3% of people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, approximately 15% of people living in the northern hemisphere report experiencing the less severe “winter blues”. SAD symptoms typically occur in the months of November and December, and disappear by April or May. For some, the symptoms disappear drastically, but for others, the symptoms disappear over time. Those suffering from SAD and the winter blues can benefit from increased exposure to sunlight. For people with mild symptoms, spending time outdoors and increasing exercise may be sufficient remedies. In addition, a winter vacation to a warm and sunny destination may temporarily relieve SAD symptoms - not a bad way to release serotonin! For those
suffering from a severe case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, light therapy is a simple and non-invasive therapy option. Light therapy involves sitting directly underneath a special fluorescent lightbox for 10 to 15 minutes daily, depending on the severity of the diagnosis. The lightbox replicates the sun’s light and helps restore the brain’s circadian rhythms. Like depression or bipolar disorder, antidepressant medications are effective for relieving SAD symptoms. Thanks to change in light, little buds of happiness are blooming across Saint John. The winter makes Canadians stronger and able to enjoy summer for what it truly is: a beautiful time to be alive, with smiling faces and freckled cheeks. 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Director
