As I am writing this, I am 24 weeks pregnant with our first child. After three years of hoping and longing, Kevin and I are finally expecting our miracle. My sister is expecting her fourth child about a month before my first is due; my brothers each have two children and Kevin’s brother also has two little girls so the concept of pregnancy was not new to me. That being said, in no way, shape, or form did I understand what baby could do to your appetite. Before I was expecting, Kevin and I were embracing a clean eating and exercise. We ate fairly healthy, minus a few treats, and I felt better than I had in years. Eight weeks later, and the mere thought of eating a tossed salad was enough to turn me green. I am able to “trick” myself into eating vegetables by hiding them in pasta sauces or a pasta salad, but to actually sit down and eat a carrot takes monumental effort. Protein is also a touchy food group as I can handle meat in the afternoon, but before noon or any time after 6:00pm, it isn’t going to happen, unless I can hide the meat on pizza. Basically, if it isn’t a carb, baby Crealock is not interested, sorry mama! I continue to try and cook “real” meals for Kevin, and will sit and eat with him, however more often than not I am picking chicken off my plate and sneaking it onto his. In some ways, I feel as though Kevin is getting practice in feeding a toddler as he and I make deals over my food intake: “If you finish half the vegetable serving on your plate,
you can have whipped cream on your berries for dessert”. I am also prone to wanting one thing in the afternoon, going to the store, purchasing the ingredients, making the meal, and then not wanting to eat it. I once made enough lasagna to feed a family of six, ate two bites and decided it wasn’t “right”. I had frozen pizza instead. I have also baked brownies so that I could eat the frosting off the top, and made chocolate chip cookies so that I could eat one cookie whilst it was still warm from the oven. I thoughtfully left the remainder of the batch of 23 cookies for Kevin. From craving pizza and 12:00 o’clock at night, to wanting nothing more than a specific sweet and sour sauce as dip for my French fries, the past few weeks have been an explosion of taste sensations and discoveries. I will forever be thankful that I haven’t started craving really weird things, and shall try to enjoy this part of the experience, without allowing baby to completely take over. 0001

50 PLUS WOMEN WHO CARE 50 Plus Women Who Care of Greater Saint John will meet on Wednesday, April 26 at James the Less Church (1760 Rothesay Road, Rothesay). Registration will be at 1:00pm and meeting from 1:30-2:30pm. Our goal is to bring together 50 (or more) women in the Greater Saint John area who care about local community causes and who are committed to community service. We will meet for an hour and jointly select a local charity or not-for-profit organization (nominated ahead of time). Each member will write a $50 cheque to the selected organization and watch how the group’s commitment turns to a $2,500+ donation. Do that four times a year and witness how
$10,000+ can improve the lives of our local charities serving our local communities. That's the power of 50 Plus. At the January meeting the Town of Quispamsis - KV Outreach program received a $3,000 cheque from 50 Plus Women Who Care of Greater Saint John. The cheque presentation was made by Mary Ann Kneeland and Donna Hawco. We are pleased to announce the members who have joined to date have donated over $27,000 to our selected charities. Please join us and make it happen. Contacts: Donna 634-1230 Mary Ann 849-7591 Carol 216-2001 Sandy 652-4155; or visit our website: 50pluswomengsj.com. 4471

DOLLARS & SENSE TALK WITH OUR KIDS ABOUT MONEY April 19 is known as Talk to Your Kids About Money Day. Talking with children and youth about money has always been an important part of our mandate at Credit Counselling. We do this through our work within the schools as well as through our Parent group presentations. We offer assistance and tips to parents and educators on ways to introduce and talk about finances. Not everyone is comfortable or knows where to start, but with a little help you can get yourself started. It is never too early or too late to talk about money with your children. Money concepts can be introduced during any stage of childhood, and for that matter on any day. You can deal with the basics all the way to investing and credit. Keep in mind that in talking about money, you need to ensure that you are not stressing your child about financial issues that they cannot control. Here are some ideas that can help you
get the conversation started: 1. Give your child an allowance; talk to them about how money is earned and ways they can save and spend. 2. Give your child the opportunity to make a decision on a purchase by setting a budget. School supplies are a good example. By setting a budget and guiding them through their needs, they will start to determine choices. They may decide to reuse their pencil case in order to get the fancy pencils to go in it. 3. Give your child money to handle, if it is an allowance, pay in cash 4. Take your child to the bank to open an account and/or make their own deposits. This way they are handling their cash and watching their savings grow. 5. Have your child use their own money to acquire something they want. An example of this could be a toy where they have to save for

it instead of getting it for a birthday present. Or as they get older it could be that they pay for half of their class trip. Be creative and make it relevant to their situation. If they can see their money grow, they will understand the importance of saving. If they can make a decision about how they spend or do not spend their money they will learn to evaluate between needs and wants. Most importantly, start and don’t leave it to just one day. 0005

Pic of the month winner - Leslie Cole
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 25th 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

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

caretaking services for neighbors, write stories, make cards to sell to family and friends or make artwork or jewelry to put up for sale. When shopping with your children, show them how to compare items for price and value. (This includes trips to the toy store.) Get your kids to look at the cost of groceries, such as milk, eggs, bread or macaroni and cheese, or compare the cost of toys. This week be patient and consistent as your children learn to be a good money managers and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE The Holocaust Memorial Day Observance (Yom Hashoah) will be held at the Shaarei Zedek Synagogue, 91 Leinster Street, Saint John, on Monday, May 1, 7:30pm and will feature a keynote address by Mr. Gershon Willinger. His parents Guido and Edith Helene Rothschild-Willinger were murdered in Sobibor on July 2, 1943, one year after he was born. At the age of five months he was hidden with a non-Jewish family before being taken to the Children’s Home at Camp Westerbork. In September 1944, he was sent on the last train transport from Westerbork Holland to Auschwitz with 50 other children. The children were later transported to Theresienstadt, which was liberated in 1945 by the Russian Army. Gershon WIllinger was returned to Holland where he moved between foster homes, orphanages and a sanatorium before being placed with a permanent Jewish foster family in 1950. He was granted Dutch citizenship in 1959, having been “stateless” since his birth. From 1960 to 1977 he lived in Israel where he was a social worker. He came to Canada with his family in 1977. Memorial candles will be lit in memory of victims of the Holocaust. The Beatrice Cummings Mayer Prizes will be presented to high school students who participated in the Jewish Holocaust Study Group. The group was jointly organized by the Saint John Jewish Historical Museum and the Anglophone School District South. The students’ work will be available for viewing in the Museum before and after the programme. For further information please contact the Saint John Jewish Historical Museum: 633-1833 or sjjhm@nbnet.nb.ca. 4468

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@thesisterhood ofwidows.com.

IN THE GARDEN PREPARING FOR “DIGGING DAYS” pring 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.

CHERRY BROOK ZOO NEWS 634-1440, cherrybrookzoo.com Spring is happening to the zoo but I have several reports from winter zoo visitors who were amazed to witness the zoo and the animals in wintertime. When the zoo is covered with snow you are sure to see the big cat outside playing! I am sad to report over winter our two lovely Golden Lion Tamarin monkeys, died of old age: Bonny (earlier) and Clyde (late winter). These two animals were sent to (CBZ) over 20 years ago by the international conservation program Species Survival Program (SSP). Staff are currently working with SSP to bring new monkeys to CBZ. All monkeys are endangered, due to loss of habitat and the illegal monkey poaching business. To see a baby monkey for sale in a market, means that the poachers murdered its entire family. Monkeys will fight to their death to save their young. As a member of Canadian Association of Zoo and Aquariums (CAZA) CBZ keepers are expanding their interesting zoo research
program and they share their results with other CAZA zookeepers across Canada. Our zoo board of trustees has grown to 12 members. The zoo is very fortunate to have these talented and forward-looking members on our zoo board. Snake news: All the CBZ snakes are rescued or donated. Snakes have been on earth since dinosaur times and protect themselves by biting, constricting, venom, playing dead and rattling. (I witnessed and will never forget the life threatening sounds of a nearby rattlesnake on a Tucson AZ hike! Every time I think of that sound I still shiver - and I did not even see the snake!). More snake facts next time. CBZ is currently asking our communities from Sussex to St Stephen to let the zoo know what you would like to see in your zoo now and in the future? Drop of your thoughts and ideas to the zoo office, thanks! Zoo Spring hours: 10:00am-4:00pm, seven days a week. Zoo Easter Special Event is Saturday, April 15. 2736

Happy
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 cut-out 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. 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
Easter
perfect opportunity to catch up. The family is large enough that we rent a church hall and have a pot-luck lunch. On one occasion, we were all apparently in the “sugar is my friend” mood as most of us brought dessert. Not the most nutritious offering, but we certainly enjoyed it.
My family will usually descend on someone’s house for dinner. Again, the cousins have an opportunity to play together while my parents, siblings and our respective partners chat. One year, Kevin and I hosted, serving hot and cold appetizers, while our nieces and nephews conducted an Easter egg hunt. Another year, we all met at my sister’s house for pasta and salad. Most often, we go “home” for
Happy Easter from everyone at
Easter dinner. There is something so special about returning to your parents’ house on these occasions. Although Mom sold our childhood home, my siblings and I still view her new house as “home”, simply because that is where she is. We all crowd into the living room and kitchen, 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.

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.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES SEE YOU THERE, PARDNER How is it that some tunes stay in your head? Is it something about the song? Or some kind of cultural signpost? Or is it that they are attached to a particular time in your life? I don’t know, but I do know that it is rare to find anyone over 40 in North America who can’t hum along to “Tumblin’ Tumbleweeds” and “Cool Water.” Even if they really aren’t old enough to have gone to the moving picture show for the Saturday serials, or didn’t come from a family that watched “Gunsmoke” and “Hee-Haw” on television, these songs seem to have attached themselves, continuing to conjure up an image of the cowboy and the (largely fictional) Wild West. These songs, along with other favourites like “Cigareetes, Whusky and Wild, Wild Women” are of course the legacy of the Sons of the Pioneers. The group was started in 1931 by a young man called Leonard Slye, later to be known as Roy Rogers
and a Canadian boy, who spent part of his childhood in Hatfield Point, New Brunswick, by the name of Bob Nolan. Perhaps one of the reasons their music is so much a part of our culture is their incredible film career. Between 1935 and 1984, the Sons of the Pioneers appeared in 84 films, plus movie shorts and television series. Those cowboy movies were not just entertainment. They were, in the words of their creators, “storytelling to raise a moral generation.” No wonder they were made to stick in our minds. Today’s Sons of the Pioneers have continued the tradition of the American cowboy song (often written by Canadian Bob Nolan) unbroken to this day. They were the first Country and Western group to sing at Carnegie Hall and In 1977, the Smithsonian Institution, which designates certain artists and performers who have made a noteworthy contribution to the arts and culture of America, named the Sons of the Pioneers as "National Treasures.” It’s no wonder that I jumped at the chance
to bring them to Saint John on April 22. While the group plays frequently in Western Canada, they are rarely seen east of Ontario, and never before at the Imperial. Not only is this a great chance for people to rekindle memories, it’s a wonderful opportunity to introduce a new generation to the music that’s permanently inscribed in our older brains. Not only will the group perform, but thanks to the private collection of long-time Imperial board member Gerry Mabey, we will have a lobby display of Roy Rogers and Sons of the Pioneers memorabilia for all to enjoy. See you there, pardner. 0030

The championship is set up to have the contestants compete within their own gender and age group. The KVBA president Charlotte Pierce helped co-host the activity with the Knights on Friday, January 27 at Chris Saunders Memorial School. Eight Knights of Columbus members were present to conduct the scoring during the final competition.

The three Rip Tide players ran a development clinic for all the participants following the competition.

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 during the colder months. Get out and enjoy all the possibilities for new adventure that come along with spring! 0044
