As I backed into my driveway the other evening after a busy day at work, I stopped and watched my neighbour’s daughter and her friend sliding down the hill across from my home and I listened to them laughing and having lots of fun. I spoke to them for a few minutes and then continued into my home. Watching and listening to them brought back lots of childhood memories I had of growing up in PEI, when I would go sliding with family and friends. On beautiful weekend days, we would meet after breakfast and go sliding for hours with our toboggans and crazy carpets, normally at a nearby hill next to a nursing home. Not only were we the only ones having fun, many times residents and staff of the nursing home would come out, talk to us and share stories of when they were young and went sliding. Time would pass and we wouldn’t even realize we had missed lunch. Nor would we notice how wet our homemade knitted mitts were that hung on our hands from being so wet, and that our mitts had all those little knobs of snow stuck to them. And of course there were the soaking wet snow pants and boots. We didn’t even notice we were cold, wet, and hungry because of the fun we were having. When we would arrive home tired from a fun day of sliding, my mother would make hot chocolate for us as we took off our wet clothing. Then my parents would sit down and listen to us tell them about how much fun we had that day sliding. Now fast forward to when my husband, Robert, and I used to take our son,

Matthew, sliding at Dutch Point Park. I recall Matthew’s first time sliding, he was about four. My husband took him half way up the hill and I waited at the bottom for him. Down came Matthew on his crazy carpet and all you could hear was him screaming at the top of his lungs the whole way down, “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH”!!! At the bottom of the hill, he jumped up and ran back up repeating as fast as he could, “can I do it again, can I do it again, can I do it again…” until he got back to his father, who put him back on the sled and pushed him back down the hill whereupon he screamed the whole way down and shouted the whole way up, “can I do it again, can I do it again, can I do it again…”. This pattern continued for the rest of the afternoon. When we went home Matthew pulled off his wet clothing while I made hot chocolate. We then cuddled in blankets, sipped our hot chocolate and listened as Matthew told us about his day sliding, as if we hadn’t even been there. From one generation to the next, some things never change. 0001

ASK THE CHEF THE MAKING OF CORNBREAD Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I was away on vacation to the Caribbean last month and of all the food I tried, it was the cornbread that got most of my attention. Corn bread is a generic name for any sweet bread made with cornmeal. So when someone says “I make the best cornbread.” you should reply “which one.” Native Americans were using corn as food for thousands of years. It was introduced to the rest of the world, once the Europeans finally came over. They would take dried corn and crush it to add to most everything and one of these was bread. Cornbread is a popular item in Southern cooking, enjoyed by many people for its texture and aroma. Cornbread can be baked, fried or, steamed. Steamed cornbread is mushy, chewier and more like cornmeal pudding than what most consider to be traditional cornbread.

Cornbread can also be baked into corn cakes. So how do you make corn bread. Well as there are so many different versions as I said above, I will talk about how I make cornbread. You will need 1 cup of cornmeal 1 cup AP flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter, soft almost melted 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar. this just means to pack it down, not loose. 2 tbls honey 1 large egg 1 cup buttermilk ( you can also use whole milk) 1/3 cup frozen corn kernels. Now it is easy. Add all your dry ingredients together is a bowl; Add all the wet ingredients in a another bowl; Mix both together and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Place in a pan about 8 inch squared and

cook at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. remove and serve. Corn bread is always best served hot or warm. If you do not eat it all, you can reheat your cornbread by wrapping it in foil and placing it in a hot oven or microwave for about 30 seconds. You can also play with this recipe by adding other things to your cornbread. You can add cheese if you were having pasta or chopped jalapeños to give it some heat. You can add anything that comes to mind and I think this is what I like best about corn bread. It is so versatile that you can create a great number of different breads, making this another living recipe that can change to fit into your meal. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

ROTHESAY EDUCATORS GAIN NATIONAL RECOGNITION When kindergarten teacher, Shonna Martin and educational assistant, Karen Roscoe requested to have a child with autism and her service dog in their class, they likely had no idea they would be recognized with a national award. But that’s exactly what happened on February 19 when the duo was presented with a National Inclusive Education Award for their outstanding efforts. They received the award at Government House during a ceremony hosted by the Honourable Jocelyne Roy Vienneau, LieutenantGovernor of New Brunswick and the patron of the New Brunswick Association for Community Living (NBACL). NBACL organized the event, where 11 Inclusive Education Awards were presented. As soon as Martin and Roscoe heard that Kate and Oakley were starting kindergarten at Fairvale Elementary, they actively requested to have Kate in their class. But it is what they did to ensure that Kate and Oakley were welcomed and included in their new class that made them worthy recipients of the prestigious award.

In preparation for Kate and Oakley’s arrival, Martin and Roscoe enrolled in service dog training and devoted their summer to researching autism and autism service dogs. To ensure that Kate and Oakley were welcomed by their new classmates, they prepared the children by purchasing a stuffed toy dog that looked almost identical to Oakley and explained to the students about what a service dog does and how to treat Oakley when he is “working.” Martin and Roscoe created a welcoming classroom environment by providing Kate with a floor chair so that she could sit with Oakley during meeting times. They also included a stationary bike in the class for students, including Kate, who learn better when their bodies are in motion. They even provided Oakley with his own mat, a spot for his water dish and his very own nametag. Not to be left out of picture day, Martin and Roscoe made sure Oakley had his photo taken along with the rest of the class. Wendy Romeo, Educational Support Teacher at Fairvale Elementary School supported the nomination, saying, “They both truly believe in inclusion;

they believe in schools fitting students rather than students fitting into schools.” Presented by the Canadian Association for Community Living (CACL), the Inclusive Education Awards recognize individuals, schools and organizations that work every day to include all students in education and school life. The awards ceremony is the focal point for celebrations marking National Inclusive Education Month. 3939

EMERGENCY MEASURES WINTER VEHICLE OVERNIGHT I had checked the snow advisory and the storm will arrive in Quispamsis in two hours. No problem, as the cross country route to Fredericton only takes one and a half hours in the summer. Lots of time! So started my twelve hour experience stuck in the backcountry of New Brunswick. I stopped and filled up my fuel tank. Always ensure you have more than half full tank to reduce the chance of water condensation and frozen fuel line. The snow started about twenty minutes into the drive. Not too bad but I was wondering why it had arrived early. I checked the CBC Fredericton station and learned that the snow had been falling for three hours and moving to southern NB. I had forgotten to check the weather for my destination. I barely made it past the blueberry fields on top of the route when the white outs started. I remembered that there was a clearing, just up the road on the left, during a lull in the storm I found the clearing

and pulled in, well off the road. No cell phone coverage and my HAM radio was back home in my charger. I moved into the back seat and reached over to grab my tote box of supplies. Yes, lots of snacks and water. All the other supplies, see previous article for the details, were there. Now grab the other tote and see what I have. A small shovel to help clear the exhaust pipe when I have to run the engine for heat and will be needed to clear the tires when the storm ends. A windup flashlight and radio will simply be recharged when exhausted. I am glad I took the Canadian Red Cross course last year and bought their First Aid Kit. Not very bright to have the kit and not know how to use it. Extra mittens, work gloves, scarf, space blanket, to keep in body heat and the large candle and matches in the coffee can for additional heat if needed. Thank goodness that I do not have a flat. I forgot to replace the air pump I

took out over the summer. Remember when I get out to replace items removed from the SUV. I waited and after a cold evening, I heard the welcome sound of the Department of Transportation plow approaching. I did not obtain the driver’s last name but was most appreciative of Steve who stopped to make sure I was ok. After tying on my tow rope, a gentle plow tug got me out of the snowbank and on the road. Nice to see that “Be Prepared - Not Scared” once again worked. 0039

LEGIONS Q: Should I feel guilty about declaring bankruptcy? A: No, you shouldn’t feel guilty. There are many different reasons that people have to either file for bankruptcy or make a proposal to their creditors. These are typically significant life events over which the person doesn’t have control. Financial difficulty results from job loss, illness, separation or many other life events that can require stretching beyond your means. If you’ve struggled through a difficult situation, the last thing that you need to feel is guilt or fear for trying to find a solution. The purpose of bankruptcy is to provide an honest but unfortunate person with a chance to start over. It is not to judge how they got there. Bankruptcy is a Fresh Start that will enable you to focus on the things that matter; family, health and getting back on your feet. At Grant Thornton we can help get you back on your feet, without judgment. Call us for a free confidential consultation. 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

FOOT ‘PRINTS’ FUNGAL NAIL LASER TREATMENTS Fungus is a common foot infection affecting either the skin, when known as Tinea Pedis (Athlete’s Foot), or the nails, when known as Onychomycosis. Although usually contracted from another person, especially in communal areas that are wet and warm and where bare feet are present, such as swimming pools and showers, but fungus in its inactive form (Fungal Spores), may be present and contracted anywhere. Tinea Pedis often presents as an itchy, red and moist rash, found particularly in between the toes and in the arches of the feet. In terms of treatment, you should see your family doctor or a podiatrist to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out similar foot conditions. All shoes and footwear should be sanitized. In my Loch Lomond Road Office, we have a Klenz and Silver Technology Machine (klenzcanada.com) which takes eight minutes to sanitize shoes.

A fungal skin infection of the foot is relatively easy to treat with over the counter preparations from the pharmacy. You should speak to your pharmacist to recommend the best one for your topical treatment. This can take up to six weeks. It is a good idea, once the skin looks normal, to continue treatment for two more weeks to kill any spores which may still be present. Because toenails are dead, they do not have blood or nerve supply once they have left the root, which is just above the bone. Fungal nails can appear thick with yellow, grey, white and black streaks. They are crumbly in texture. At the Loch Lomond Road office, we have Saint John and area’s only Podiatry Fungal Nail Laser - a Class 4 Fotona Machine (this laser uses accelerated laser beams to burn and destroy the fungus in the nail plate).

This is more effective and safer than taking oral medications, which can possibly cause serious Liver problems. Topical medications can be effective but may have to be applied daily for nine months to a year. 0025

Family is why we do it all.

International Women’s Day means different things to different people. For some it’s a celebration, for others it’s a call to action, and for others it is an opportunity to reﬂect on the past and the future. Here at Ossekeag Publishing we take this opportunity to celebrate Women in Business. The number of women in business has grown steadily over the past 20 years, though the rate of growth has declined in the last few years. In 2010, over 900,000 of the 2.6 million self-employed workers in Canada were women (Statistics Canada, 2010). And although women entrepreneurs are most likely to choose to start and run small businesses in the retail and service sectors, they can be found across all industries.

We all feel the same commitment to care for our families. Helping you meet your insurance needs is part of my commitment to you. Get to a better State.® Get State Farm®. CALL ME TODAY.

A survey conducted for RBC Financial group by Ipsos-Reid in 2005 compared the responses of aspiring entrepreneurs to those of a sample representative of Canada’s estimated 2.8 million existing small-andmedium-size business owners. Some of the study’s ﬁndings: A ﬂexible work schedule is a greater motivator for women planning to open their own business (63%) than for men planning to do so (51%); 36%of men planning to open a business plan to do so to become wealthy, while only 23% of women planning to open a business do so for the same reason; The majority of women and men entrepreneurs (69 and 64% respectively) seem to be equally driven by a love for what they do or hope to do; Women are less likely to start a business because they want to be their own boss. Regardless of the reasons for becoming a business owner, well salute and celebrate all our local business owners for enriching their communities with their entrepreneurial efforts.

Financial life planning gets to the heart of the matter by reviewing your finances in relation to the rest of your life. This process connects the disciplines of financial planning with your life in order to develop a customized plan that is best suited to your needs, goals, and aspirations. By taking into account your current financial situation and looking at it in the context of where you’ve been, where you are now, how you got here and where you’d like to go, financial planning gets brought to life, your life - to provide you with the best possible financial plan. My passion in life is simply to help people. Whether it’s giving advice to a friend, volunteering for a cause or showing a client how they can reach their goals, I take pride and ownership in everything I say and do. Being in the financial service industry for nearly 20 years I have held many positions, all the while continuing to keep myself current within the industry. As your local Investors Group Consultant I care about you and your family, and I am committed to helping you reach your goals. Contact me today for a free consultation.

Since moving from the big city to be closer to family, Susan started Design Rescue, a home staging and decorating business. “I have always had a passion for design, and staging was by far my favorite part of any real estate transaction, so when we moved to New Brunswick I wanted to continue what I enjoy and offer my services to people here.” Susan named her company Design Rescue because she wanted people to know it was about lending a helping hand. “There are so many shows, videos and sales people out there offering advice, I help narrow down the choices, remove the stress and get you a better result in the end.”

Launching a new business is never easy, Susan says that the support of her friends and family has been amazing and is grateful for their encouragement, “I am a very lucky person to have all these people telling me to do what I love and that Design Rescue is doing so well”. Beside running her business, Susan also teaches an afterschool art program for Grade 3-6 students, “we have so much fun together getting messy and making beautiful things, it makes my day to see them so proud of their creations.” The one thing Susan is proudest of however, is her son graduating high school this June. Way to go!!

MY HOME TOWN

Oh! How I remember my old home town With all it’s clean streets And all the times I had wandered down The road that winds to the beach. For in the houses of my home town That’s where the sparrows built their nest And all the people of my home town Were the people I loved the best. And I remember the flood. All those hearts that were torn; Of all the people who had to leave The town where they were born.

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG PRE-VISUALIZE AN IMAGE Please, let me introduce myself. My family and friends might say that I am young of heart. I am a husband, father, Opa, son, brother, retired firefighter, woodworker wannabe, hate board games and mind games, love art and dark chocolate, I wish I read more and I am in search of great coffee. Tales from the Camera bag will be a monthly collection of thoughts, ideas, tips and stories from my delve into photography. I will have stories from the great friends that I have made along my journey. It won’t be a technical column as my brain melts when I try to learn technical details. Tips, but of course. They will be varied and addressed at different skill levels. My hope is that you may learn and laugh from my mistakes, take a look at your own photographic journey and just think about the art of photography. My wife ( Libby ) and I were contemplating a trip to Europe and she said “I want to go to Amsterdam during the tulip season”. Hmm, that sounds very picturesque I thought, perhaps I should get a new camera. I

wanted something capable, lightweight and with interchangeable lens. Research ensued, looking over peer reviews and reading countless articles. Yet, somehow I went against the popular trend where DSLR's ( digital single lens reflex) are king and decided on the Sony A55, which uses Translucent Mirror Technology. My journey with photography and mirrorless cameras thus far has been a fantastic experience. I joined the KVCC ( Kennebecasis Valley Camera Club) and it proved to be my best decision, as I have made many lifelong friends with whom I have already shared some great adventures. I took some good natured ribbing as they teased me, flashing their semi-professional cameras, and asking me what I intended to do “with that little camera”. The lessons I learned along the way was that it is the “grey matter “behind the lens that counts. As I looked at folks who suffered from GAS ( gear acquisition syndrome) I realized that it was not all about the gear but about the

vision and the effort you are willing to put into your images that matter. Ansel Adams, for example was known for two things, his deliberate approach to photography and his ability to previsualize, a term that is now attributed to him. Ansel would go to an area many times to become aware of how the scene he was photographing was going to react to the different atmospheric and the changes of light. In order to capture the picture he wanted meant that timing was critical, no small feat when you consider the equipment he needed to carry. I encourage you to grab your camera, start imagining and, pre-visualizing an image in your mind's eye and make it happen. Shoot, Print, Share. 0032

LISTEN IN WE ARE RICH IN TALENT

“Music that is off the beaten path. If you think classical music is just Beethoven and Braun, you’re wrong. Although we do that too.” Is how David Dow, Public Relations Manager of the Musica Viva New Brunswick Orchestra explains what they do. The orchestra just finished a very successful back to back December performance of The Nutcracker Ballet with the Atlantic Dance Academy in Sackville at Convocation Hall for over 1000 music and arts lovers. David tells me they plan their performances by rotating around the province. “We are in the early stages of working on a performance in May for Fredericton”, David elaborates on some of their future plans. I really love the forward thinking and open-minded creativity of this orchestra. The orchestra is conducted by Dr. James Mark. Learn more about them at: musicavivanb.ca. There are also some stellar live music shows happening in the greater Saint John area you may want to mark on your calendar as a “not to miss” evening out on the town. Spring time and music are literally in the

air as shows in the area will be blooming as early as April. Of course I’m sure you heard that folk songwriting icon James Taylor with his all-star band is coming to town at Harbour Station on May 15. The popular power-folk duo Tomato/ Tomato are performing March 19 at the Saint John Theatre Company as part of the “Live at the BMO Music Series”. Tickets are available by going to ticketpro.ca. Country music legends, The Good Brothers are coming back to the city for an April 17 Sunday matinee gig at the Bourbon Quarter in the uptown. Charlotte county rising star Eloie Richard will be opening the show. The Goods were part of the infamous and outrageous cross country Festival Express tour with a who’s who of music royalty of the early 1970’s including the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Ian & Sylvia and The Band. Country star and NB Country music hall of famer, Joan Kennedy is performing April 24 at the Anglican Parish Church on the Kingston Peninsula. Opening for Joan is

Saint John troubadour, Clinton Charlton. Blues comes to town April 29, 9:00pm when Juno Award winning bluesman Morgan Davis performs another unforgettable and highly entertaining show at the Bourbon Quarter. On May 1, the one and only David Francey, along with his full band, will perform at the Shiretown Publicans in Hampton. Special Guest on this one is PEI’s own Ashley Condon. All tickets for these shows can be purchased at the Imperial theatre Box office and online at: imperialonline.nb.ca. Try to go out and support live music in your community! Lots of it! 0041
