It’s hard to believe that six months ago Kevin and I were still talking about making the Ossekeag Publishing dream a reality. I was working full-time as a legal assistant in Saint John and Kevin was busy operating two businesses in Sussex. We were in the middle of purchase negotiations, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in our lives. We had also just learned we were expecting, which suddenly created a whole new set of concerns and considerations. Now six months later I am amazed at how far we have come! Kevin and I were incredibly lucky that the business came fully staffed with an amazing group of people who have continued to work with us throughout the transition period. We lost one member of the team during the buyout, and our administrator left shortly thereafter. Fortunately, Shelley came back to work for us at the front desk and she fit back into the Ossekeag team seamlessly. Two weeks ago we welcomed Karey Kaye as our new assistant editor; she will be helping Beth for the next few weeks before taking over the position permanently. Beth was set to retire this June, but will be staying on for a few months while I finish out my maternity leave. With Carmen, Vanessa and Jon as our sales reps, and Sean and Jesse heading up the graphics department we have a well-rounded and very talented group of people willing to go that extra mile for the business and our clients, which is a truly incredible gift for any business owner to be given. We have received a heartwarming
response from the communities we serve as well, which is both humbling and inspiring. We have had the opportunity to form community partnerships with different organizations and businesses and look forward to creating more relationships in the future. Kevin and I truly love being able to connect with individuals through our publications and reading or hearing the reader responses is the highlight to many days. Now that the weather is (hopefully) warming up and we are all starting the shake off those winter doldrums (doesn’t it seem to be taking a long time for spring fever to burn away that winter laziness this year?) Kevin and I want to take the opportunity to thank our staff, advertisers and readers for sticking with us through the last six months. It has been a period of growth and transition as we learn this new business. We look forward to the opportunity to continue working with our advertisers to provide the Ossekeag brand to our readers. 0001

Pic of the month winner - Sharon Peabody
PIC OF THE MONTH Congratulations to Sharon Peabody of Saint John, who submitted this photo of a double Tulip blossom to the “Pic of the Month” contest for May. Sharon has won a Movie Pass (for two, including drinks & popcorn), compliments of Ossekeag Publishing. “Humming Birds” is the theme for June. Karl’s tips: Hmmm - Hummers, there have been books written on how to photograph these beauties. I even have a laser pointer, which when a bird breaks the beam it activates the camera and flash. But for the average guy a blind of a sort is in order. Get your feeders out and they will get used to you helping them out. Mine are near my window, so I and my grandchildren can appreciate them 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

With over 200 active members, "KV Ballroom Dancing", in Quispamsis, is the largest ballroom dance group in New Brunswick. It offers International Style Ballroom and Latin dance classes at all levels from beginner to advanced, as well as weekly practices, monthly dances and two "gala balls" per year.

This is the Marigold/Mural Projects 20th year. Over four million marigolds have been grown and planted and 98 murals painted. There are now 65 schools growing and planting marigolds at 63 sites in Charlotte, Saint John and Kings Counties. We have 7,000 children growing and planting this year during the first two weeks of June. We set the Guinness World Record for the number of flowers planted and have surpassed that record ever since. We have never had a mural or marigold garden vandalized. This inclusive, empowering, learning and beautification project has also turned out to be a major tourist attraction. The Marigold Project has become a great symbol of pride. We encourage everyone to paint, grow marigolds & trees and take pride in our community. For more info on the Marigold Project visit: marigolds.ca. In celebration of the 20th year for the Marigold Project a ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 15 at 9:30am on Main Street North End of Saint John. Everyone is welcome! 4544
FAMILY MATTERS BENEFITS OF GROWING A FAMILY GARDEN Gardening offers family fun. In a garden, your family can be active, relax, and spend time together. Growing vegetables or herbs teaches children that plants, like people, need food and water to grow and stay healthy. A garden can teach your child about new foods and the importance of eating a variety of colors. Caring for plants helps develop responsibility and self-esteem because kids see what they can grow. Gardening also requires the use of all senses since kids usually taste what they grow! Here are 7 more benefits: 1. Children can learn about how food is produced - taking them outside what they see in the grocery store. They’ll have the chance to see that food isn’t just “born” at the store and that there are many steps involved in getting food to their plates. 2. Your kiddos can gain an appreciation for nature and the importance of insects like bees. Family time in the garden means contact with nature and the environment. A garden is a fantastic way to teach about
connectedness, ecosystems and the importance of diversity. 3. A garden helps children to have pride in their work. Children are always more pleased when they can pick produce off a plant that they helped to plant. 4. Depending on your kids ages, they could be responsible for making sure the garden is watered. They can take out weeds and pick what is ripe, allowing them to see that caring for a garden involves all kinds of different tasks – not just eating! 5. Gardens help teach generosity. Sometimes you just have too much of a certain type of produce. Let your kids learn the benefits of giving by giving away excess produce to friends, family, and neighbors. 6. Gardens provide opportunities for learning life skills like cooking. Your children can learn how to prepare meals that they might not normally make and understand that cooking includes much more such as meal preparation and
cleaning up. 7. Starting plants from seeds is a wonderful science lesson. Imagine your children’s delight when they look outside to see the tall tomato plant with a bounty of red fruit on it, and to know that they helped it grow from a tiny seed. This week take time to build a garden, plant the seeds that will allow your family to grow together and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG TORRES DEL PAINE With my eyes closed I inhaled deeply the air that was fresher and cleaner than anything I have breathed. I let the strong, cool, winds wash over me and let my clothes ripple like a sail. I was standing on the shores of the Magellan Strait, incredulous to be here where famous explorers once set sail to find a way around the bottom of the world. Leaving Puerto Natales at 4:00am, driving the black gravel backroads of Patagonia heading for Torres del Paine National Park was an adventure. Driving 80kmph was not Dave’s thing and Libby was constantly reminding me of her displeasure with constant swats across the back of my head. This narrow, roller coaster of a road is sometimes so high you see the vultures flying below you and of course there are no guard rails. These death runs were all part of the adventure, but more so because I wanted the quintessential shot of the Torres del Paine lit in a fiery, red, sunrise glow.

These mountains rise up quickly and sharply like spears thrown upward from the underworld, in front of them is a wonderful lake and behind us a smaller mountain range. When the sun ascends behind us it peeks over the mountains and broadcasts a light show upon the Torres del Paine rich in hues of magenta, pinks, oranges and gold. As we were here in the autumn, the air was cooler and heavier and these mountains make their own weather. We did this perilous trip four times to no avail. Mother nature was not giving this up. The base of the mountain painted in magenta, pinks and yellows was the best we could do, as these mountains wore their clouds like Patagonia togues. We offered up coffee and pastries too the gods as we picnicked on the nearby lake, but they would have none of it. The area surrounding Torres Del Paine was as unique as the mountains. Large expanses of land were populated by the Patagonian cypress, an imposing, iconic fire dependant tree that is endemic to the Chile Argentina area. Usually the

first tree to populate the poor volcanic soils, it grows quickly after a fire and may almost be dormant for 5-7 years if fires are suppressed to quickly. These “Redwoods of the south” are often very tall but here in the south there windswept forms looked more like arthritic fingers clawing out of the ground. I was lucky to find an artist who made wool hangings from the local Guanaco (Llama like animal) and incorporated a piece of this Patagonian Cypress. Shoot - Print - Share.

IN THE GARDEN ABUNDANCE OF BLOSSOMS IS A GOOD THING...SOME EXCEPTIONS! The display of spring blossoms really gives both heart and soul a lift; we bury dead looking bulbs in the fall and new and breathtakingly beautiful life emerges miraculously in the spring. In order that the investment placed in our spring gardens might yield future abundance it is essential to remove all dead flowers from Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinth etc. The stems should be cut off at their base but all leaves be left in place. They will continue to feed the bulbs which will not only produce more robust flowers next spring, but will multiply the number of bulbs. Removing the spent flowers, all the plant’s energies will go toward these two goals. Needless to say, when the clump grows too thick the quality of bloom will diminish… too many folk in a small tent gets uncomfortable. So, if the clump is getting cramped; wait until all the foliage is practically withered away, dig up the whole works and allow the bulbs to dry off; they will then easily separate and can
be re-planted in a new spot with a dash of bone meal and compost, or shared. Some exceptions! Well clearly, not all flowers are welcome in the garden, or indeed in lawns! Please refrain from using toxic weed killers. To deliberately introduce harmful chemicals into the atmosphere and the waterways is simply inviting disaster, there are alternatives! A wheelbarrow, Dandelion digger and an hour’s light work can dispatch a massive pile; Dandelion greens, when young, are a tasty addition to a salad and Dandelion wine is a very respectable product. With all the many jobs in the garden it is not possible to get everything done at once, so even if there’s not enough time to get all the weeds out at once, then concentrate on the ones in bloom. Young children love to pick flowers, encourage them to help by picking the weeds, teach them their names and maybe look up some of the interesting folk lore that abounds in the world of nature; make it an educational

experience and maybe grow enthusiastic gardeners! Now that the Forsythia has finished blooming the bushes could do with a good pruning. They have a tendency to get straggly and one can propagate new bushes by simply burying a low lying branch into the soil and weighting it down, by Fall it will have grown new roots and can be transplanted to a new site.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES NEW BEGININGS Perhaps it’s all the time I spent in school, but June always feels like the end of the year to me. This year that’s especially so, as it marks the end of my time at Imperial Theatre. It’s been an amazing seven years on staff at this beautiful historic entertainment palace, the last four as Executive Director. Some of the highlights of those years? Creating a huge community concert to celebrate Imperial’s 100th birthday; hosting the Atlantic Presenters Association Contact East event; presenting stars like Darlene Love, Avner the Eccentric and Sylvia Tyson, and little-known geniuses like DakhaBrakha and Tobias Wegner; hosting two successful Mystery Concerts and, more than anything, working with an incredibly talented and dedicated team. There have been some stressful moments too. Like when we discovered as part of a routine survey that bits of brick were literally cracking off the façade, and again when we got the estimate for repairs. Like
the power failure during a show with 800 preschoolers in the auditorium. Or the time cast members of a visiting show went for a stroll and happened on a dead body. In each and every case, the show (eventually) went on. Imperial’s new Executive Director, Angela Campbell, will do a great job maintaining that fine old tradition. For her first year, she will be presenting the program of artists that I have spent the last nine months putting together. As my predecessor explained to me, this means that anything that goes wrong is my fault and all successes are entirely hers. It’s a good system. On June 7, the morning after my final launch night, you can go online and see what’s in the Imperial’s 24th season. Subscriptions are on sale starting at the launch and all you have to do to join the ever-growing family of subscribers is buy tickets to any six shows at once.

Caps off to you, Graduates!
GRADUATES - ARE THEY READY? What do you want to be when you grow up? Students have been asked this question since the day they set foot in the classroom. By grade one their answers range from firefighter to rock star, fairy princess to hairdresser. As they entered middle school, the answers changed to hockey player, lawyer and doctor. But the arrival of graduation marks the time for serious answers. Oddly enough, secondary school marks the height of teenage indecisiveness. Within the four years that have led to the threshold of adult life, graduating students struggle to find their way. They are constantly shifting back and forth in every which direction. One minute it’s biology, then chemistry, accountant, teacher, nurse, arts,
business, how about kinesiology? It is the mindset that in figuring out what they want to study, they will somehow be more prepared for university with an advantage over their peers.
will you attend?” and “What area of study are you entering?” are among those frequently asked, often accompanied by stories about the times when the parents were faced with the same decisions.
The choices made by these graduates are hugely influenced by their parents. Always wanting the best for their children and making sure that they have the very best of everything at their child’s disposal, parents sometimes allude to the life that they want their graduate to have. As graduation day draws near and the quest to figure out the next step begins, parents will start to ask questions about the plans that their graduate has laid out for their future. Questions such as “Which university
Many people will ask where in lies the problem, after all, parents ought to promote graduates to pursue high grades, choose to go into more advanced courses, and get all their ducks in a row. And where this is isn’t entirely a false statement, it does leave out one big portion of growing up and finding ones way: there is no learning curve.

As a parent you might not agree with the choices made by your graduate, but it is ultimately their choice.

ASK MARY AM I CARING TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK? Interesting question, because what defines too much? To say “do only what you want”, risks sounding arrogant. But to say that you should “put others needs before your own”, sounds rather spineless. We all, to some degree, worry about what others think, because there is always going to be someone whose love and attention we desire. For myself the honest answer is “Yes, I have often cared too much about the opinions of others”. However, after my husband’s death I learned that I had to stop being anxious, wasting time and worrying about others. Life is brief, too brief so take off that “mask” of being okay with what everyone else wants and speak out about your own needs. By giving control over to the opinions of others, you rob yourself of an opportunity to truly grow. Your

life has been a creation of good and bad experiences. The wisdom you’ve gained makes you the person you are today. In the end, you matter just as much as anyone else, because you have value too. Get clear about what you most want to give and if you have doubts, pause and think about it. If you’re uncertain than it’s a sign that something is off-balance. To create a new life for yourself, you have to get clear about who you are, what you believe and what you think is important. Happiness comes first from recognizing your own worth, and not from what others think of you. It starts with having the clarity, energy and knowledge to live a life free of the anxiety and emptiness that comes from trying to please everyone but yourself.

Confederation quilt
KINGS COUNTY MUSEUM CRAZY QUILT The Kings County Historical and Archival Society is kicking off our celebration of Canada's 150th birthday on Saturday, June 10 at 2:00pm. We are hosting Dr Ed MacDonald, Chair of the UPEI History Department, at the Hampton Seniors Resource Center to talk about "The Charlottetown Conference, Why it Matters". This will be followed by the unveiling of the "Confederation Quilt" at the Kings
County Museum for those who attended the talk. On Sunday June 11 from 1:00 4:00pm there will be an Open House at the Museum for a public viewing. The Confederation Quilt created by Frannie Parlee is a "crazy quilt" made up of numerous small pieces from dresses of the ladies who attended the Confederation Balls. The information from the family is that it was made in 1864 and repaired in 1895: both dates are embroidered on the quilt, as is Frannie's signature. It has been carefully restored by the Canadian Conservation Institute and was returned to the Kings County Museum late in 2016. As part of our celebration, the Kings County Museum will be creating our own crazy quilt. To help in this project, we would love to have any fabric scraps you may have on hand that would make good quilt material. As visitors come through our doors they will be given the opportunity to choose a fabric piece and sign it to be included in our very own sesquicentennial quilt that will be quilted for us from these pieces by a local quilt guild. Solid fabrics are preferred rather than prints. Each piece different, creating a beautiful whole . . . just like our country. 4539

DOLLARS & SENSE SO WHY ARE WE NOT SAVING? There was a report released by the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies that talks about our savings rate (or lack thereof) for the Maritime Provinces. The breakdown of our consumption rate compared to our disposable income is not difficult to visualize as the difference begins with a minus sign. So what does that mean? Basically, we are spending more than we can afford and with that there is nothing left to save. What the study also outlines is that even though we have had an increase in our available disposable income, savings rates have still dropped. The old adage that as your income goes up, your spending goes up too, holds true in this scenario. So where are the issues and what can you do different: Spending, we are consumers of everything. We start our mornings with a drive-thru coffee; have take-out bagels for lunch and pick-up supper on the way home. We need to look at our spending and find
the areas where we can and are willing to adjust. Notice, I use the word adjust; you do not have to cut everything out. Debt, we are willing to use credit to get what we want. We like the ‘pay later.’ We extend our loans to make them more affordable in our budget, and we take mortgage holidays. Putting payments over longer periods of time limits the available money to use elsewhere. Placing something on a credit card to cover at the end of the month, takes away from the future income earned. Use of our savings. Savings takes on multiple forms; we have emergency funds, education funds, retirement funds… they have different purposes, yet we intermingle them. For instance, you can ‘borrow’ from your RRSP for a down payment on your home. That is great, however you now need to make up that amount, and you have used your retirement savings. Could there have been a better way?
How can you work toward a savings lifestyle? Start tracking your everyday spending, and when you see something you don’t like, adjust. Stop using credit to acquire things. Make a commitment to use cash for the next thing you want to buy. Start an emergency savings account; this can be your pocket change or an auto-withdrawal from your account. Stop not following your budget, your budget is there to help you not overspend. Start saving today! 0005
