For your convenience you can drop off ads and editorial for Ossekeag Publishing at:
“A phrase usually used to goad someone into an outlandish/awesome act. Similar to the phrase "go big or go home" this phrase considers added, undeniable reasoning; If you have no intention of going big, don't bother coming out at all.” (Urban Dictionary) I have never been overly fond of this particular macho sounding phrase, until very recently that is. Once I rephrased it a bit, it all became crystal clear. “Go Big or Stay Home Buried Under 10 Feet of Snow”. You see this winter is challenging what I felt were considerable snow clearing capabilities. I have a 32 HP tractor with a 5’ snowblower that did an admirable job clearing out 1,000 feet of driveway and significant areas around 4 houses on the lane. With the heavy snowfall we got last year I decided towards the end of the season to pick up a 7” blower for my “big” tractor that has about 50% more horses than my “small” tractor. So nothing could defeat this combo right!! With the snowfall that we have had this year I have relied on Mr Big and even then snowblowing time has probably doubled this year to about 3 hours. Assuming Mr Small could handle the snow load, it would likely take 5 to 6 hours and that is just way too long to be driving backwards. So with the view that climate change is
here to stay, this year may NOT be just a one time fluke, but something that we may have on a consistent basis and heck, things just could get a whole lot worse!! So what are the smart people doing... right... going bigger!! This afternoon, I am hoping to look at a nearly 40 year old tractor but, it has another 50% more horses than Mr Big and the snowblower that comes with it is a dual auger (just think BIGGER). So, listen folks, throw away the shovel and get a snowblower, if you have a 24” blower grab a 32” or start thinking yard tractor. Remember “Go Big or Stay Home” because you ain’t never getting out until this $#&* winter ends. Assuming I do manage to find and purchase a Mr Bigger, my upgrade position from there is …………………….. a nursing home.

I heard hearing loss and dementia could be related… is that true? Gradual hearing loss is a common symptom of aging, but in some people it may also be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia, a new study suggests. The risk of dementia appears to rise as hearing declines. Older people with mild hearing impairment – those who have difficult following a conversation in a crowded restaurant, say – were nearly twice as likely as those with normal hearing to develop dementia, the study found. Severe hearing loss nearly quintupled the risk of dementia. Hearing loss may lead to social isolation (which itself has been linked to dementia), for instance, or it may interfere with the brain’s division of labor. The brain might have to reallocate resources to help with hearing at the expense of cognition. That may explain in part why straining to hear conversations over background noise in a loud restaurant can be mentally exhausting for anyone, hard of hearing or not. We listen with our ears but hear with ours brains; it is not possible to separate audition and cognition. The two conditions may also share an underlying neuropathological process. A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it is such a slow and insidious process as we age. Even if people feel as if they are not affected, studies are showing that it may well be a serious problem.

LISTEN IN SAINT JOHN STRING QUARTET (SJSQ) It’s been 27 years since the SJSQ first came together. I recently sat down with one of the founders, violist Chris Buckley, about the quartet and all that has transpired over the near three decades now that they have made music together. “There has been 7 second fiddle players and we have 5 CD’s with 5 different second fiddle players” Chris says when asked about how many players have come and gone. The quartets’ current line-up includes the two other original founders along with Chris, David Adams on violin, Sonja Adams on cello and the newest member on second fiddle Danielle Sametz. The quartet is such a vital part of the greater Saint John Arts community and they embody a big heart, taking part in variety of fundraising events including my Music is freedom – Songs for MindCare annual event and so much
more. They have performed for royalty including garnering several honors; a Juno award nomination, winning an ECMA and Music NB award. Let’s not forget all the international touring and the fact they teach and mentor our musical youth. “There is so much amazing music written for quartette’s” Chris tells me in expressing his love in playing with the SJSQ. “I love pulling something off the shelf and getting another crack at it. And I love learning something new.” “Some of my favorite moments watching and listening to them perform is when they collaborate with different artists.” “I’m a big fan of lots of other kinds of music. “I get excited about doing that.” Chris tells me in regard to those musical partnerships. “Rose Cousins, Matt Anderson on one tune and Jessica Rhaye” are some of his favorites they have performed with he tells me. “It’s just fun to go play.” Chris says when I ask him about future touring, including a possible cross country tour.
I consider us pretty blessed to have them right here in our community. Below are some dates where you can catch them live and believe me it’s worth it. And Chris, I can’t wait to hear you guys do that cover of “La Bamba”. For more information on the quartet, its members and where to buy a CD go to: sjsq.ca/#SupportLocal. Upcoming local dates - March 15, 2:00pm Saint John Arts Centre; March 21, 10:30am Fredericton Public Library; March 21, 2:30pm Saint John Free Public Library; March 26, 12:30pm Whitebone Lounge UNBSJ. 0041

Carpe Diem, Seize the Day, these words tell you to change your life and seize each opportunity. In July, during hurricane Arthur, Rothesay Foot & Aesthetic Studio was flooded. Given nine days to find another space to
operate was a blessing; it allowed the owner/operator Juli Shiply time to consider change. After 9 years of operation; a family is a priority now. So, it seemed like a natural evolution to reduce stress, the size of the business and choose a different method of operation. Juli Shiply and Christa Erb, who have known each other since grade 1, have decided to join forces at the 1 Hampton Road, Suite 120 location. As of Jaunary 2015 Christa & Juli’s Exclusive Esthetics is providing their meticulous, extremely sterile
aesthetic services as independent sole proprietors. They are both Podologists, which is an advanced foot care specialist, and Gelish master nail technicians. Juli is a body wax expert, and they offer the most fabulous facials. Christa and Juli have worked together for 4 years and the chemistry is wonderful; a true yin & yang relationship.

KENNEBECASIS REGIONAL POLICE NEWS With the excessive amount of snow we have received in the last few weeks both the Town of Rothesay and Town of Quispamsis crews have been hard at work trying to clean up after storms and trying to widen roadways. This is very difficult work, especially while roads are being used by citizens. Often the majority of the work is done while most residents are asleep. The Town of Quispamsis states on their website: “We understand and appreciate that people are frustrated with the heavy snowfall over the last few weeks, but plowing or blowing snow onto previously plowed streets is a matter of public safety. It’s dangerous, it’s contrary to the town bylaws, and it’s not acceptable.” The Town of Rothesay says on their website: “Rothesay requests the public’s assistance in conducting winter maintenance activities. Any vehicle left on Town streets, roads or sidewalks so as to impede snow removal or maintenance to roads or sidewalks will be towed away at owner’s risk and expense. Any person
removing snow from private property onto Town streets, roads or sidewalks is liable to a fine.” Both Towns have winter parking bans that are in effect from December 1 - March 31 and include the hours of 12:00am until 7:00am daily. Members of the Kennebecasis Regional Police have already responded to several calls from plow drivers asking for assistance in locating owners of vehicles parked on the road. Ticketing and towing vehicles in order to remove them from the roadway is not out of the question. Please make every effort to follow the bylaws in your respective Town relating to the winter months. Cst. Krystal Daley, Community Relations Officer. 0031

returns directly over the Internet (older returns have to be printed and mailed). The program is available free of charge to single taxpayers with income under $30,000, or couples under $40,000. Volunteers do not accept returns for those who are self-employed, in bankruptcy proceedings, or just deceased. Since 2011, over 700 clients have benefited from a once-weekly tax clinic (in tax season) at St. Paul’s Parish Centre on the Rothesay Common. This year’s clinic will again be offered at the same location every Tuesday from 9:00am12:00noon and 1:00-3:00pm until April 28 (except March 17). No appointments are necessary; service is on a first-come first-served basis. Clients may, if they wish, fill in an information sheet and leave their slips for processing later (normally by the next week). There are a number of other volunteer tax clinic locations on various days of the week in the area from Hampton to Grand Bay-Westfield. For a full listing of clinics, or for further information on the Volunteer Program, visit: cra-arc. gc.ca, or call toll-free 1-855-516-4405 for the Saint John area coordinator of the program. 3371
STUDENT RECEIVED INCLUSIVE AWARD Just when society starts to worry that “kids these days” are becoming more and more self-centered, a young lady like Keelan Lewis comes along. A student at Rothesay Park School, Keelan was honoured recently with a national Inclusive Education Award. She received the award at Government House during a ceremony hosted by the Honourable Jocelyne Roy Vienneau, Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick and the patron of the New Brunswick Association for Community Living (NBACL). NBACL organized the event, where six Inclusive Education Awards and two Special Recognition Awards were presented. “Some of the teachers at Rothesay Park School call Keelan Lewis ‘Mother Hen,’ or ‘The Big Sister,’” said Krista Carr, NBACL’s Executive Director, when she presented the award. “This is because of the compassion, empathy and kindness she shows all the time for her classmates with a disability.” JoEllen Jensen, the principal at Rothesay Park School, nominated the eighth-grader for the award. “Keelan Lewis is a leader at Rothesay Park School,” said Jensen. “She does well academically and is a top athlete. Moreover, she is a role model in her relationships with all our students who have a disability, especially with her dear friend, Anna.” Angela Marr was one of the people who supported the nomination. As the new Vice-Principal at Rothesay Park, “I was made aware of our students who have a disability before school began this year. Anna Keyes, a grade
eight student with Down Syndrome, was brought to my attention. ‘Don't worry about Anna,’ I was told. ‘She has a great group of friends.’ Indeed she does!” “Keelan has brought Anna into a wide circle of friends, and has facilitated her inclusion in school activities and clubs,” JoEllen Jensen recounted. “She has helped us all to see what Anna can do and be. Keelan enriches the lives of everyone who works at or attends Rothesay Park School because she shows us how to be a true, unconditional friend.” Keelan’s inclusive nature goes beyond her friendship with Anna, as well. The three teachers who dubbed Keelan “Mother Hen” described how she interacted with other students with a disability: “It doesn't matter if Keelan is in gym class, tech class or science class; she will always be the first to offer to assist in any way, academically or just being a classroom buddy.” 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, and are the focal point for celebrations marking National Inclusive Education Month. 3358

ASK THE CHEF GOOD GRAVY Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I’ve had a lot of people ask me how to make pan gravy without buying the powder package. Gravy is one of those items that every Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner needs. If the turkey is dry, add more gravy. If the mash potatoes lacking in flavour, add more gravy. In some ways, gravy is all we want and the meal is only a vessel to get the gravy to our mouths. Good gravy starts with your pan drippings. As mentioned before, allow your roast or turkey to rest before carving it. I always plan for my turkey to be done an hour before I serve dinner. This is because I want the pan drippings for the gravy. Remove your roast or turkey and pour the remaining liquid into a measuring cup or clear bowl so you can see the separation of broth and oil. Remove the oil and strain off
the remaining particles into a pot and bring it to a simmer. Don't get rid of your roasting pan yet, there is still great flavour and colour stuck to the sides and the bottom. The best way to remove this is to add a half inch of water and with a wooden spoon, rub the pan until it is clean. You will be surprised about how much flavour and colour you will find. Take that water and add it to your simmering broth. Taste your broth and see if it needs any flavour, maybe salt, pepper, garlic or savoury. Now thicken your gravy to the consistency you are looking for. Thickening can be done in several different ways, but at home you can use something as simple as a flour slurry. Whisk a mixture of flour and water (3 parts water to 1 part flour) into your broth to thicken the gravy. There are a couple of things to watch for. First: adding too much slurry - add water to bring it back to your proper consistency. Second: small little flour clumps in your gravy - strain your gravy
through a sieve. The last one and this is why I cook my roast or turkey early, you need a half hour for the flour to cook out. If you skip this step the gravy will taste the flour and not the turkey drippings. The reason I kept saying “roast and turkey” is because this process can be used for roast beef, roast pork , chicken and turkey. It is a great way to add that something extra to that family meal, which as mentioned can save any mistakes that you may want to hide and make you the culinary hero you desire to be. 0040

MUSINGS GONE PHISHING! Actually, in this case I was the phish (fish) not the phisher, but then the phrase doesn’t work! Phishing - “to try to obtain financial or other confidential information from Internet users, typically by sending an email that looks as if it is from a legitimate organization, usually a financial institution,
but contains a link to a fake website that replicates the real one” - dictionary.com. Yes, I got caught. Usually I am so very careful with what I click on in an email, but this looked totally legit. It was back in mid-December and the email was from Canada Post stating they had tried to deliver a package and no one was home to take delivery. As it happened, I was expecting two packages which were to be Christmas
gifts, and since I was at the office and Mike was no doubt out in the woodlot, it made total sense they would not have been able to deliver. So I unsuspectingly clicked on the tracking link and . . . went nowhere. Still not cluing in, I called my local post office to find out how to get my delivery. They had no record of anything, so they very obligingly had the route driver call me as well. We agreed it was a mystery and that was the end of it. My packages showed up a day or two later and all was well. Until the next time I accessed my online banking. As I logged in all looked fine, until I moved a little further into the site and was advised that new security measures required me to answer a few questions. The first couple of questions were regular ones that I have often seen on various banking sites. . . your oldest nephew’s first name and such. The it wanted my mother’s maiden name. . . hmm, okay. But the next questions got a little more concerning - driver’s license number, social insurance number. Nope. . . don’t think so. Next step, call the bank. Have they instituted any new security measures for online banking? Nope. And everything was fine on their end. So obviously the problem was on my end. Then the lights started to go on about the “Canada Post” email. We do have virus and malware protection on all computers, plus I use gmail which has excellent spam filters as well, but this managed to get through. Michael tracked down a magic tool of some sort which scanned my computer and cleaned it up, but now my worry is what information did it manage to scam before that happened. So in addition to immediately changing my banking password I have added a security alert to my bank account which should notify me of any suspicious activity. My biggest concern now is the possibility of identity theft, so I have also requested a copy of my credit report. Beyond all that, I feel like an idiot . . . “I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.” ~ Stephen Hawking. 0002
