SAINT JOHN NATURALISTS’ CLUB
OUR CHRISTMAS MIRACLE This little Christmas story begins 18 months ago, on June 6, 2014. It was a beautiful day and our two cats Molly and G.G. (short for growling glutton) were outside enjoying the sunshine. Because G.G. only weighed six pounds, she was easy prey for the osprey, eagles, and owls that constantly harassed her, diving for her every chance they got. Being quick on her feet, G.G. was always able to escape their clutches… until June 6, 2014. This is the day our little cat disappeared, and Molly went into a little depression. Molly became our only cat for the next 16 months, until a very sad event brought an orphan cat into our home in late October of this fall. My husband’s brother Larry passed away in Alberta and his only family in Alberta was his cat named Ruby. My husband Darrell and his sister Fern flew to Alberta to retrieve their brother’s body and bring him home to Hampton. Also on the same flight home, was Ruby the cat. Darrell decided to rename Ruby after our little G.G. that we lost, so here we were again with two cats - Molly and G.G. The last chapter of this Christmas
story begins this week on December 4, 2015. On this day, a visitor came to our door… a visitor who travelled an unknown amount of miles, surviving on instinct, and living alone in the wilderness. Our little tiny 6 pound G.G. found her way home after 18 months of what we thought was the day she died. She somehow escaped the evil clutches of that miserable old bird and nursed herself back to health. She has a bald patch now on the side of her ribcage where we figure the bird’s talons pierced her side. She is a very nervous, skittish, cat now but we are sure with lots of love and patience she will return to her old self. Oh how we wish she could talk and tell us the story of her amazing journey. The end of our story is quite funny… the three cats now outnumber Darrell and I… and two of the cats have the same name - G.G. Maybe it’s time to rename one of the G.G’s? From all of us, to all of you – have a wonderful Christmas and never forget – Christmas Miracles really do come true. Submitted by Pauline Ruttle. 3821

FAMILY MATTERS FAMILY HOLIDAY SURVIVAL TIPS This is the season for shopping, dinners, decorating and activity - lots of activity. With all the activity the holiday season brings, some children may find it very overwhelming. Parents can recognize overwhelm if their children: are unable to maintain stationary positions; frequently bump into items or people, and/or; stand too close or far away. During all the decorating, shopping, presents and visiting there are a number of things families can do to keep Christmas calm. 1. Create a Family Holiday Plan. Divide the holiday schedule up equally to include activities/outings for parents and children. Ensure that everyone can see the schedule and don’t forget to incorporate down time. Consider the length of time spent outside the home in busy environments and plan for family based activities like volunteering, walks, movies and skating. 2. Travel Tool Kit. Calming tool kits for road trips and visiting are always a good idea. The bag could include art supplies,
a calming jar, favorite toys, playing cards, paper, books and puzzles. These items can be pulled out anytime a little quiet time is needed. 3. Peace Corner. Have your child identify a place or corner in your home or the home you’re visiting that your child can use as a calm retreat. 4. Code Word. Create a family code word when things get too much. Setting time limits for visiting can also be useful in managing restlessness and overwhelm. 5. Less Can Be More. Reduce the amount of shopping and visiting that needs to be done by being efficient with your stops. When appropriate, use a babysitter and keep the kiddos at home. 6. Get Them Involved. Involve your child(ren) in the cooking, preparations or in other activities they’d enjoy. This helps to share the workload and keeps them healthfully busy. 7. Chronicle Christmas. Let your child document your holiday visits and adventures by writing about them or
from the staff of
Reid & Associates
taking pictures of the places you go and people you visit. The chronicle can be proudly shared later with friends. 8. Bring a Friend. Allow for opportunities where the kids can bring a friend. These friends can keep things happy and harmonious. It is important to remember that the holiday season can over-stimulate and overwhelm us as well as our children. This holiday season enjoy the parenting journey, time with family and ensure everyone gets enough sleep, attention and quiet time. Happy Holidays! 0006

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS AROUND THE GLOBE Families across the globe cherish their Christmas traditions. Customs may be unique to every family, but many countries boast their own unique traditions as well. -Australia: Many Australians celebrate Christmas by coming together at night to sing carols outside. That's not as chilly as it might sound, as Christmas in Australia actually falls during summer vacation. In fact, many of the country's most popular Christmas traditions occur outside. -England: Many of England's traditions resemble those popular in North America, including wrapping gifts, hanging stockings over the fireplace and gathering around the Christmas tree. Kids in England write a letter with their wishes to Father Christmas, but unlike mailing those letters like many North American children do, English children toss their letters into a fire so their Christmas wishes can go up the chimney. -France: Christmas celebrations in France begin several weeks before December 25th, but Christmas Eve is
most special to many natives of France. On Christmas Eve, church bells ring as people sing noels, or carols. The following day, a feast is enjoyed upon returning home from church. Germany: In the weeks leading up to Christmas families bake sweet bread, cakes with candied fruits and spicy cookies. Advent wreaths are popular in Germany and are purchased four Sundays before Christmas begins. The wreaths have places for four candles, and families light a candle on the wreath each Sunday. Mexico: Families in Mexico celebrate Christmas by decorating their homes with lilies or evergreens. Because the weather is warm, many families also cut designs into brown paper bags before inserting a candle and then setting the designs, called farolitos, along the sidewalk, on windowsills, on rooftops, and along outdoor walls. Many communities in the southwestern United States have adopted this tradition, which they often refer to as luminaria. Sweden: Christmas celebrations in
Sweden begin on December 13th, the day the country celebrates St. Lucia's Day. Celebrations for St. Lucia, the patron saint of light, are intricate and involve the whole family. A couple of days before Christmas is when many families select their Christmas tree. x004

ASK THE CHEF FRUITCAKE - A CHRISTMAS TRADITION Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. As we start thinking of our Christmas feast, one thing always finds its way onto the table that we never find the rest of the year - fruitcake. Fruitcake is one of those things that needs to be available at Christmas. Some cultures eat fruitcake all year round, like the Australians. Other cultures have fruitcake at weddings like some European countries. Here in Canada, we have it at Christmas and even then, not very much. The Romans started making fruitcake out of pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and raisins which were bound together by barley mash. The recipe evolved as new ingredients were made available. It wasn’t until the introduction of sugar, from the new world, that we discovered that sugar was a great preservative which made fruitcake easier to make and it could be made out of many different fruits and nuts. This is the fruitcake we know today. Fruitcake recipes are passed from
generation to generation, with each family believing that their fruitcake is better. Some use different nuts and dried fruits. Some rehydrate the fruit with alcohol spirits and others with tea. This is one of the great examples that as long as it turns out the way you want it... a recipe is a living idea which by trial and error, we create something that many enjoy. So when I make fruitcake, here is the basic recipe I follow. Sometimes I add and subtract different items but I always start with this base. I soak the following in sherry, brandy or port: 1 cup diced candied orange peel; 1 cup raisins; 1 cup dried cranberries; 1 cup chopped pitted prunes; 1 cup chopped candied pineapple; ½ cup dried currants; ½ cup dried cherries; ¼ cup finely chopped candied (crystallized) ginger; 1 cup sweet sherry or vinegar; ½ cup orange juice; 1 Tbsp finely grated orange zest; 1 Tbsp finely grated lemon zest; 1 Tbsp finely grated fresh ginger. I then make a cake base of: 1 cup unsalted
butter, at room temperature; 1 cup packed dark brown sugar; 3 large eggs, at room temperature; ¾ cup ground almonds; 2 cup all-purpose flour; 1 ½ tsp baking powder; ¼ tsp salt; 1/4 cup + 1/2 cup sweet sherry or brandy; 1 cup chopped pecans, plus an additional 1 1/2 cups of whole pecans for garnish (optional). Drain and pat dry the soaked fruit and fold it into the cake batter. Place into a bread pan and bake for 2.5 hours at 300 degrees. Allow to rest and remove from pan. This is one of those items that is so full of preservatives it will last for months. From all of us here at Holly’s Restaurant and Catering, we wish all of you a Merry Christmas and we hope to see you in the new year. 0040

LISTEN IN YEAR IN REVIEW It’s time to take a look back! That way we can close that curtain and look forward to a happy, healthy, music filled and prosperous New Year (2016) for us all! First off my TOP 5 Live shows of 2015 that I attended were: 1. Roger Hodgson (the genius and voice of Supertramp) - Casino, Moncton. 2. Tom Cochrane & Red Rider – Casino again. 3. Alice Cooper – Casino 4. Darlene Love – Imperial Theatre, Saint John 5. TIE! Garnet Rogers – Shiretown Publicans, Hampton and Ron Hynes – The Barrel’s Head, Rothesay. As far as songs and/or albums I could literally make my own “Ossekeag Magazine” issue based entirely on my music picks but here are my Top 5 in the meantime: 1. Alan Frew – 80290 Rewind 2. Garnet Rogers – Summer’s End 3. Faithless – 20 4. ZWERG – Dual Citizen (NB!) 5. Ron Hawkins And the Do Good Assassins – Garden Songs I asked local music celebrity’s “What is your favorite song/album this year? And why?” The Only rule was - It can be new or just new to you.. It may help you discover
what they like and you may way want to check out, because they all have good musical taste. Here are their answers! “My fave album this year was Betty Who's - really well-crafted pop songs with killer production!” ZWERG “I really like Breeze and Wilson's Christmas CD, has some great original material on it.” Debbie Stanton “I'd have to choose Glen Hansard's 'Didn't He Ramble". The songs are timeless, the voice is raw and honest and when he belts out "it's not for glory, I'll tell you true" I believe him.” Clinton Charlton “I was on a kick of Tori Amos's cover songs this past year and rediscovered her take on some favourite songs; hearing them in her unique way had me sitting at the piano with renewed inspiration.” Marissa Sollows “Our favourite song of this year goes to Moncton's Shaun LeBlanc, for his pop single, "Move Together." Our daughter listens to his album nonstop, knows every word, and tries to play it on the piano. Any song that brings that much joy to our home
is our favourite!” Lisa McLaggan (Tomato/ Tomato) “Lucinda Williams: Protection. The groove is inevitable and unstoppable, and the two guitar players have an eloquent, nimble conversation in a language we don't understand but cannot deny the truth of.” Grant Heckman (The Honeyboys, Mike Biggar Band) “Carrie and Lowell- Sufjan StevensSublime Confessional. also- as far as performances go- Chris Stapleton with Justin Timberlake on the CMA's- soul saves country” Brent Mason “Girl Crush by Little Big Town. It's edgy, with a great melody and I love singing it! Claudette Norman (WeBe3) 0041

DIRECTOR’S NOTES STAND-UP COMEDY I admit it - I am not a fan of standup comedy. Since my husband is a practitioner of the art, this sometimes leads to interesting domestic discussions. It’s not that I don’t appreciate that it IS an art form, and one that requires great skill and a lot thicker skin that I will ever have. It’s not that I don’t get jokes – I wore out several recordings by Bob Newhart back in the day when the gang sat around my basement listening to vinyl. It’s not that I’m a prude – in the right company I’ll cheerfully recite George Carlin’s “7 Words You Can’t Say on Television.” I hope it’s not that I am generally humourless - I still laugh out loud at reruns of Fawlty Towers and silly things on YouTube. It’s just that most stand-up comedians don’t find my funny bone. I think the roots of this can be traced back to my grandmothers, with whom I was fortunate to spend much of my childhood. Thanks to Grammy Violet and a long family history of domestic service
I can set a proper place for a six course meal, keep my back straight while sipping soup, and properly tri-fold pillowcases when ironing. I don’t do any of those things, but I could. I also thank her for my delight in seeing the desperately class conscious Basil Fawlty get his inevitable comeuppance. On the other side of the tracks, my paternal grandmother taught me how to skin a rabbit, feed ten people on a pound of hamburger, and enjoy cutting through uppity nonsense with some good home truths. During her last trip to hospital Grandma Esther managed to make her grown sons blush by remarking that her new young doctor was so handsome “he can put his shoes under my bed any time.” I thought a lot about these wonderful women the first time I saw comedian Etta May. She’s got Grandma Esther’s straighttalking approach to the trials of everyday life – from teenage kids to weight loss to marriage – that gets a giggle out of me
every time. And Grandma Violet would appreciate the way she shoves some of those “hoity-toity folks” off their selfmade pedestals. Like Andy Griffiths (or Minnie Pearl, for those who remember back that far) she looks at the modern world from her sassy southern perspective, and it looks pretty funny. In short, Etta May is a stand-up comedian who makes me laugh, and maybe makes me think a little, and definitely makes me wish my grandmothers were still around so I could bring them to the show at the Imperial Theatre on January 30. 0030

LOCAL WOMEN DONATE TO CHARITY 100 Women Who Care, a local women's philanthropic group continues to impact its community with an early Christmas gift, it’s eleventh donation, this one to Sistema NB, Saint John Centre. The members also heard pitches from Fresh Start Services for Women and Sweet Caroline Foundation. After a successful June 2013 launch of the local chapter of 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John, its membership continues to thrive as it completed its eleventh meeting. With a donation of $100 from each member, each quarter and now 260 members,
we were able to donate $23,770 on Tuesday, December 8 - the $70 coming from our youngest member, Sophie Dumouche,l who comes to every meeting with her mom and makes her contribution, having raised her money from doing odd jobs. Sophie is truly the future of our organization. Since its inception in June, 2013, 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John has now donated $272,429.00 to local charities. The Greater Saint John chapter meets again on March 1, 2016. For more information about 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John visit: 100womenGSJ.com. 3833
Q. I can’t afford my bills, what should I do? A. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to give your financial situation some time and attention. This is especially the case if your situation is one which is more than just a temporary set-back. Calling a trustee to review your situation is a logical place to start. Trustees are licensed by and accountable to the Federal Government. Most work exclusively with individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty. Having an impartial assessment of your situation can assist by pointing out issues and options to consider and validating concerns you now have. Trustees can share their experience gained in assisting many individuals and families face similar challenges. At no cost or commitment and a minimal time investment, you are able to obtain practical and relevant information, guidance and advice. Our experience is that debtors who take control of their situation relieve a lot of pent up anxiety and stress, regardless of the eventual course of action they choose. 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. Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP Vice- President

COMMUNITY TABLE DONATES TO KV OLD BOYS Did you know the Irving Route 1 Restaurant has designated one of its booths as a community table? What this means is that the restaurant donates a percentage of its sales generated by patrons who sit at this table, to charity. During the month of November the KV OLD BOYS were the designated charity and, in the photo, Ray Campbell is seen presenting a cheque to Don Shaw, member of KV Old Boys. What a wonderful way to give back to the community! 3838

A charging station, which is available for public use was installed outside the Quispamsis Town Hall as part of a partnership between the Town and the public utility through the Smart Habits program. In addition to the installation of the charging station, the Town also purchased a Chevy Volt. It has proved to be a solid addition to the municipal fleet, as approximately 94 per cent of its daily use has been electric. 3834

POINT OF VIEW GREETINGS AND GOODBYES As I sit here knee deep in unwrapped presents and a half decorated tree, I can't quite believe Christmas is almost upon us and we're about to usher out 2015. I would like to start by wishing you all a wonderful Christmas filled with celebration, joy and lots of love. My hope is that you don't get too wrapped up in the chores that come with Christmas, and focus instead on the real meaning of the holiday season. If there's something I've learned as I grow older, it's that the best memories aren't of the extravagant gifts we give or receive, it's of the quality time spent with family. It's impossible to put a price tag on that. Christmas will arrive, whether the gifts are wrapped, the cookies are baked or the tree is trimmed. So, take a deep breath, eat a great chocolate (that's what I do), look at the colorful lights and just be thankful you're here to enjoy it. That brings me to the goodbyes part of my biweekly column. I first want to thank each and every one of you for taking the
time out of your busy days to read this column. Writing Point of View has given me a unique opportunity to share my thoughts, feelings and experiences on a variety of topics with over 90,000 people in southern New Brunswick. You may not always share my point of view, and that's okay. Hopefully, though, I've been able to entertain, influence and keep you informed. When I resumed my column writing last summer, this time with Ossekeag Publishing, I had no idea how long I'd have the privilege of connecting with you. As it turns out, it would be a year-and-a-half. This is our final issue of 2015, and this will also be my final column. I received an unexpected employment opportunity, for which I am grateful, but it's never easy to say goodbye to great people. I can't thank Debbie and Mike enough for their kindness, and for their strong desire to keep our communities connected through these publications. Enjoy every moment of your retirement, and I wish

you only the best. My coworkers have become my friends and confidants, and distance or the passage of time won't change that. Thank you for your messages, phone calls and kind words about this column. It has meant a lot to me, and I will miss sharing a piece of myself with you. Here is my personal email address, in case you'd like to say hello. It's diane. mcmillan0605@gmail.com. May you enjoy all the gifts of Christmas – the gift of happiness, the gift of joy and the gift of love! Mer r y Christmas and Happy New Year! 0032

MUSINGS JUST ONE CANDLE I find it difficult to believe that this is my 16th year of writing a Christmas Musings. This is not only my 16th, but will also be the last, as Ossekeag moves forward under new leadership. Throughout the years we have seen marriages, births and deaths. We have people who moved forward to new exciting careers and those who have retired or left to remain home with young children. Like any family we have had our moments of disagreement, but through it all we have loved and supported each other through the rough spots and celebrated the achievements. Thank you to all of you, you have made this so much fun. Like many of you at this time of the year I attended my granddaughters’ elementary school Christmas concert. All the well-scrubbed youngsters in their Christmas finery sang their hearts
out and did the usual amazing job. This year, the grand finale was a whole school rendition of Just One Candle. As I watched those young faces in the glow of their candles I was moved to tears. What a lovely message for the Christmas season. We have seen many changes over the years, but our focus has remained clearly on providing the good news stories in our local communities. On supporting the groups and individuals who make a real difference. This will not change. It is what Ossekeag is all about. We aim to be one of the candles in this little corner of the world. So as I sign off with a wish to my family, my friends, my co-workers past and present, readers and customers to have a safe warm and loving holiday season, let us all keep in mind that each one of
us has the power to be just one candle in someone’s life. Miss you Dad. Just one candle shining in a window pane Gives a light for all to see, a shining flame, Shining through the darkness it helps to show the way. Light your candle for peace today Shine your light for peace, shine it all around the world; Sing to everyone, let your voice be heard Shine your light for peace, shine it everywhere, Show the people in the world you care. 0002
