RETIREMENT AND NEW BEGINNINGS Kevin and I have been so very fortunate to have had the leadership and steadying presence of Beth Reicker as our editorin-chief, voice of reason and resident den mother for the past twelve months. When we bought Ossekeag Publishing we were full of hopes and dreams, but had little experience with the ins and outs of the day-to-day running of a serial publication. Kevin had experience managing a business and I loved the English language… those were our “qualifications”. Add into the mix that I was expecting our first child and still working full-time for a very busy family lawyer while Kevin typically worked a 60 hour week between his two businesses and his volunteer work, we were fairly reliant on our staff to keep things operating smoothly. Enter Beth - she helped guide me through the ins and outs of editorial copy and deciding what and where to place pictures and reader submissions. She protected the graphics department from my more outlandish ideas and helped develop other thoughts into concrete plans. She helped Shelley become reacquainted with the duties at the front desk and under Beth’s tutelage Shelley has become our Office Manager. Combining wit with wisdom, Beth did all of this - and so much more - despite planning to retire in June. I know that many in her situation would have been content to put in her last few months with minimum fuss, but not Beth. Instead, she approached me in May about delaying her retirement until October so that I could enjoy time at

home with my baby. October became November and then December and Beth was still here, encouraging, guiding and helping Ossekeag truly blossom. Beth and I agreed that she would not be returning after the Christmas break, she would be starting her long postponed retirement; we talked about Beth coming in to cover vacation time and sick days and I had the idea in my head that Beth would still be that mothering presence in the office. In early December, Beth retired. I think a part of me has been in denial since then. On many occasions I have drafted a note for our Facebook page to thank Beth for everything she has done over the past few months in nurturing our dream. Ultimately I decided she deserved so much more than just a Facebook post. Please join me, Kevin and all the staff at Ossekeag Publishing in wishing Beth all the best in her retirement. Beth - I hope you are able to enjoy your grandchildren, spend time pursuing your photography and take that trip to Norway. You are always welcome in the office; when you are not here, you are truly missed. 0001

The goal of the Erin Appleby Breast Health Fund is to assist breast cancer patients by offsetting their household expenses during treatment, enabling them to concentrate on the most important thing....getting well. Erin was a Hampton High Graduate. 4833

LIVE WELL BETTER THINKING FOR MENTAL HEALTH Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words. Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions. Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny. Chinese Proverb Years ago, I heard the phrase: “Our own crazy self-talk always makes sense.” (Earnie Larsen). Believing our own false, inner dialogue can have devastating effects on our lives. Messages, such as: “I’m stupid…I can’t…I’ll be happy when/ if…He/she made me so angry…,” and so on, often determines attitude toward the self and life in general. We can become convinced that we are victims of life and circumstances, that others have it so much easier, and rail against life’s injustices. Why is it, do you think, that some people are so attached to their negative thinking that all the good things in their lives pass without notice, but each negative thought or event attaches thus strengthening an opinion that some master puppeteer is deliberately singling them out for misery? It is something like the old fashioned sticky paper that hung down to trap flies; negative thinkers attract and attach to negativity while being unaware of and ungrateful for, the good things in their lives. Over time, such negative thinking becomes entrenched and habitual. Automatic negative thinking (ANT) influences mental health by releasing biochemical reactions and emotions which affect one’s mood and behavior. It goes without saying that our minds are powerful instruments and thinking,

negative or positive, controls mood and behavior. Distorted thinking feeds anxiety, depression, health outcomes, quality of life, self-esteem, relationships, and so on. While the bad news is that negative thinking has such power, because it is a learned behavior the good news is that we can learn to think differently. It is not an easy task, to be sure, because it requires considerable determination and effort. Becoming aware of negative thinking, such as “black and white thinking” where there are no grey areas, “jumping to conclusions,” “catastrophizing,” “always being right,” or “predicting the future,” is the first step in the change process. Like most changes, a decision is first required along with a commitment to do what it takes for as long as it takes to achieve the desired change. Once aware of the negative thought, picture a giant stop sign; counter the negative thought, for example changing the thought “I’m stupid” to “I am a competent, capable person.” Using distraction—moving to another location or activity—can also help. Then, journal successes and challenges, and remember to strive for progress, not perfection. 0008

AROUND & ABOUT FEBRUARY - THE BRIDGE MONTH Of the three months of winter, which I consider January to March; February has always been my favorite. It’s what I call the Bridge Month, for it is the connector between the harshness of January, and the promise in the longer and usually warmer days of March. In my youth, I looked forward to one special day in February. No, not Groundhog Day, or Valentine’s Day. Yes, they helped pass what can be a bleak month, but February was special because it was Boy ScoutGirl Guide week, and the founder of Scouting’s birthday on February 22. I think it helped me become the person I am to this day, a person with a deep interest in the heritage of our community. I say this because we always did something to reflect on the past to mark Baden Powell’s birthday. It was often the showing of slides of he and his wife’s lives in far off England and perhaps something about their

travels around the world to promote the Scouting ideas. Sometimes we would be lucky enough to find a guest speaker who had actually met Baden Powell or his wife Lady Baden Powell on one of the several trips they made to New Brunswick. They would be able to share first hand an event from yesteryear that they were deeply involved in. I think of Art Pottle sharing his Scouting memories of the huge rally at Barrack Green, or Audrey Straight sharing this from the Girl Guide perspective. As I said, this had a huge impact on me, and I have had a great run at promoting our city and province’s heritage ever since. I don’t know how many others came to their interest in history, but I do know they will be sharing this interest at the annual Heritage Fair at Market Square on Saturday, February 17 from 9:30am-3:30pm. Archivists,

Gemologists, Friends of Rockwood Park, New Brunswick Historical Society members, military collectors, postcard buffs, gatherers of photos of yesteryear, cultural representatives, old building buffs, train travel affectionaires, and many others will be there. Their displays will bring the past alive, will help to make this bridge month more interesting. Come and enjoy this free event. 0004

Lobsters Try The Humane Way

Caught with traps in the bay, Put in glass cages on display. Huddled together on one side, It looks to me like they’re trying to hide. Then I think “this is insane,” But I’m assured they feel no pain. But I reply “they taste, eat and mate, So I don’t think there’s much debate.” In parts of our world it’s very true, Please don’t ask what they do. But if you must, they’ll surely say: “How do you cook your lobsters from the bay?”

DID YOU KNOW?

Switzerland and other European countries have banned boiling live lobster and provide other methods of humane killing. They won’t even allow them to be packed on ice for transport.

CONTEST WINNERS Royal Canadian Legion Kennebecasis Branch 58 would like to congratulate the winners of the Remembrance Day Poster and Literary contest. Ed McMahon, President and Brian Eisan, 1st Vice President/Poppy Chairman with the winners. 4830

The Kings Way LifeCare Alliance has a great partnership with International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 502 who have generously donated to our backpack initiative in the past. With this program, residents from Kennebec and Kings Way pack bags of food so that 15 families from Centennial school have a bit extra on the weekends. This year IBEW 502 partnered with us to help with a Christmas initiative with the school. They purchased Pyjamas for every single student at the school plus the daycare next door. Nearly 250

pairs. Our residents took great pride in lovingly wrapping every single pair and delivering them to the students before Christmas. The kids' faces said it all. This is a prime example of an awesome intergenerational partnership. We had the kids who we love working with, our seniors who found meaning in wrapping and delivering this special Christmas gift and everyone in between who helped to make it happen! Thank you International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 502 for providing us with this opportunity. 4831

FOOD FOR THOUGHT GET ENOUGH VEGETABLES AND FRUIT You have probably heard it before; eating more vegetables and fruit is linked to better health. Most of us do not get enough, but it is possible to eat more. And it can taste good! Here are some simple and tasty ways that you can get more veggies and fruit. At meals, fill ½ your plate with vegetables and fruit, ¼ of your plate with grains or starches (potato, rice, pasta, bread) and ¼ of your plate with protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, legumes). Your plate may look a bit different from what you are used to, but this simple switch will help you eat more vegetables and fruit. Besides filling half of your plate with vegetables and fruit you can also enjoy them as a snack. Try pairing with a dip like yogurt or hummus for a boost of flavor. Keep fresh fruit like apples, pears, bananas and oranges in a bowl on the counter and take the time to peel, wash and chop vegetables so they are ready to use. You can also make it easy

by buying ready-to-eat vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, pre-washed salad greens, baby carrots and snap peas. Try recipes that make veggies the centerpiece, such as grilled kabobs, hearty vegetable soups or stir fries. Save time by using frozen vegetable mixes such as spaghetti, soup or slow cooker varieties. Choose fresh, frozen or canned vegetables and fruit as they are all good choices. Try slicing different fruit and serving with a lowfat vanilla yogurt instead of rich desserts. Roasting vegetables is a simple way to add flavor to your plate. Try roasting cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potatoes, squash, beets, carrots and parsnips by cutting them into the same size pieces so they will cook evenly. Toss with olive oil and your favorite spices. Place on a parchment covered baking sheet and roast at 425˚F until tender and golden. Roasted veggies can be served as a side dish or added to soups, pastas and salads. Have you ever roasted fruit? Roasting apples, pears, pineapple, plums and peaches brings out their natural sweetness.

Try them sprinkled with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger for even more flavour. Enjoy roasted fruit on top of oatmeal or yogurt or serve as a dessert. Adding more veggies and fruit to your day is possible. Start by eating one more serving of veggies and one more serving of fruit per day, and work your way up from there. You’ll be glad you did! Hungry for more? Contact Caroline at caroline.black@sobeys.com for information about nutrition classes and counselling. 0028

LEGAL BEAGLE MANAGING YOUR ESTATE WITH A WILL Opt to Adopt and Help Save a Life!

Saint John SPCA Animal Rescue Hours: Wednesday , Thursday, Friday & Saturday

When you die, your assets and debts become what we refer to in the legal profession as your “estate”. The purpose of a Will is to provide for the orderly distribution of your estate at your death. In New Brunswick, if you die without a Will, you do not have control over the distribution of your estate and so your assets may not be distributed in the way you want. For example, if you are in a common law relationship and want to leave something to your partner, your partner may not be entitled to receive any benefit from your estate. In addition, a Will allows you to leave specific items to people. For example, you may want to leave a wedding ring to a child or leave your pets to someone in particular. Another benefit of having a Will is that it allows you to decide who you want to distribute your estate. Without a Will, the person who distributes your estate may be appointed by the Court. Depending on your situation, you may have in mind someone in particular who you would like to manage your affairs when you die. If you currently have a Will, you will want to ensure that it is properly drafted so that it is effective. In addition, many people do not realize that, even if you have a Will, and afterwards marry, your previous Will is no longer valid. If you’re considering getting a

During a consultation, adequate background information is essential. You will want to have with you your full financial picture as well as a good understanding of your estate planning goals and family dynamics. Ultimately, a Will allows you to have peace of mind about knowing what will happen to your estate when you die and knowing it is in good hands. 0047

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALERT Some safety issues to think about. At this time of year we use different ways to keep warm and toasty. We all have smoke detectors but do you have a carbon monoxide alarm? Carbon monoxide is a gas created by a poor combustion process in furnaces, BBQs, stoves and engines. Carbon monoxide is very dangerous; it is invisible, odourless, tasteless, and deadly. You don’t know that it is around you and as it builds up in your system you get groggy and want to sleep, which may mean you are unable to get to safety. A few things to keep in mind for your and your family’s safety: a normally clean burning device will produce a lot of CO if the air is restricted; a device that is safe in a big old drafty home may not be safe in a small, tightly closed room. (It can’t get enough fresh air); a device that burns cleanly when you initially light it may burn progressively worse and produce more CO as it consumes the oxygen (air) from the room. Install a Carbon Monoxide detector and if it sounds, get help and get to safety! 4843

Since its inception in June 2013, 100 Women Who Care of Greater Saint John has

donated $454,959 to 19 local charities. ??????? What an impact these amazing women have had on the most vulnerable in the communities of Greater Saint John. Members meet for an hour to hear three 5-minute presentations by local charities which have been nominated by our members and randomly selected ahead of time. Members jointly select one of the three presenting local charities or not-forprofit organizations by way of a vote to receive the bulk donation at the end of the presentations. Each member then writes a $100 cheque to the winning organization and watches how the group’s commitment turns into a sizeable donation. The process is repeated four times a year. The Greater Saint John chapter meets again on Tuesday, February 27. Women can visit 100womengsj. com to join or sign up at the door. We were very grateful for the support of Jane Higgins-MacDonald of Exit Realty Specialists. Jane very generously covered the rental cost of the venue for this meeting. 4812

KINGS COUNTY MUSEUM NEWS The Kings County Museum has received a request from a gentleman in France doing research on aircraft crashes in Northern France during World War II. He explains "I have just identified the cause of the crash of the Halifax W7770 aircraft, this aircraft was shot down by German pilot Rauh on September 17, 1942 and the crash site I just discovered is the village of Vieux Reng. Among the five Canadians killed was William Seaman Grant (Maubeuge Cemetery) of Kings County, NB. My goal is to find the family of this aviator to inform them." Through our Facebook page and consultation with Kings County Historical Society members we have the following information, but so far nothing on any relatives: William Seaman Grant was born September 17, 1915 in West Saint John, NB, son of Nehemiah Ceman & Ruth Ann (nee Cronk) Grant. They had been married in Saint John on April 22, 1914. At that time Nehemiah was a 22 year old railway fireman born in Houlton,

ME (USA) and Ruth was 20 years old, and born at Clifton, Kings County, NB. At the time of the 1921 census (the most recent one available prior to the war), William was the only child listed with them, so he may have been their only child. We are checking further. From military records we have the following: William Seaman Grant F/S(OB) R84623. From Clifton Royal, Kings County, NB. Killed in Action September 17, 1942 age 27. No. 405 City of Vancouver Squadron (Ducimus). Target - Essen, Germany. Buried in the Centre Cemetery, Maubeuge, Nord France. Joseph Gordon St. Louis F/S(AG) R54325. From Renfrew, ON. Killed in Action September 17, 1952 age 28. No. 405 City of Vancouver Squadron (Ducimus). Halifax lost while engaged in operations to Essen, Germany. F/S’s C. A. Patton, W. F. Murray, C. A. Kitson, W. S. Grant were also killed. One Canadian P/O Krope was taken POW, and one of the crew, not Canadian, missing believed killed. F/S St. Louis buried in the Centre Cemetery, Maubeuge, Nord France. If anyone has any information on Mr
