RavingsBy Mike Hickey

"THANKSI want to say a great big thank you first to all our wonderfureaders for a great year and secondly a big hug to all ouadvertisers. I know some will think it strange that I first thanall our free loading readers who pay nothing before I thank thadvertisers who actually allow us to pay our bills. The fact ithough, without enthusiastic and loyal readers there would b

very little value for the advertiser and they would quickdisappear.A number of years ago we were visited by a business consultan

(trying to sell us something) who had a pretty close look awhat we do. One observation that he made was that we were "Atrusted source of information" and by golly when I thoughabout it he was right on. While smart readers might be a bisuspicious about reading "Ravings" and only the very naiv

would trust that "Musings" thing, the entire balance of each anevery community magazine can be read with complete fait

that the news is entirely accurate (barring occasional errorand without any hidden agenda to try and influence you.A recent survey of our staff revealed that every respondent wa

proud or very proud to say they worked for OssekeaPublishing. I assume that this is because they recognize thimportance of the news that we deliver to our communities anthe amount of positive feedback that we receive from oureaders and advertisers. A recent survey of Debbie and myselrevealed we were also proud or very proud of the staff that wget to work with. A great big thank you to you!!!

On behalf of all of us here at Ossekeag, we want to wisheveryone a very, very, Merry Christmas and Season's GreetingsMikie now has to get working on his shopping list!! Does anyonknow where I can find 52 large garbage bags full of doggi

treats?? That will take care of the missus!! And for the Jet ... hjust wants peace on earth and a blazing fire in the wood stovebut he has offered, out of kindness, to help the missus with hedoggie treats if she needs any professional assistance.

As usual we will be closing at noon on Christmas Eve anrd

return on January 3 in the New Year. While shutting down fothat long doesn't help the old bottom line, it is a nice break fothe staff and ourselves after a pretty hectic and busy perioleading up to Christmas.

"At this Christmas Season we remember and honour thoswho are no longer with us and cherish those who are." 800

Your retirement is about morethan numbers.

Tax-Free Savings Account

For short-term and long-term goals, consider a Tax-Free Savings Account

Everyone has different reasons for saving and investing. But no matter what your goals are,you may be able to realize them sooner with a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Thisregistered account is unlike anything Canadian investors have seen before. Investmentreturns in the account whether interest, dividends or capital gains are not taxed, evenwhen withdrawn. A TFSA has the potential to help you reach your goals sooner.

TFSA benefits:The TFSA has a number of special features that make it useful in a wide range of situations.These include:SFlexibility. You can make withdrawals whenever you want, for any purpose. Withdrawals

are added to unused contribution room starting the following year. Unused contributionroom is carried forward indefinitely, so you can re-contribute whenever you have themoney.SInvestment choice. You can hold a wide range of investments in your account.SNo income requirement. You dont need to have earned income in order to make a

contribution.SVersatility. A TFSA could be appropriate for both your short-term and long-term

investment goals.STax-free. Unlike other tax-deferred plans, earnings in a TFSA are never subject to

Canadian tax. You dont pay taxes even if you withdraw.

SLifelong eligibility. Theres no requirement to collapse your account at a set age. You cankeep it as long as you live. This makes it especially valuable as part of a long-termstrategy that also includes RSPs/RIFs.

The TFSA lets you create a flexible, tax-sheltered savings fund you can use for a variety ofpurposes. You can use it for short-term goals, such as a new car, a dream vacation or even anew home. But you can also use it in addition to your registered Retirement Savings Plan(RSP) to help you reach long-term goals, such as providing funds for your retirement. Howyou use a TFSA and the benefits it can provide will vary depending on your individuasituation and investment goals. How you use your Tax-Free Savings Account depends onyour own personal needs and goals. Please give me a call to discuss how the TFSA maybenefit you.

Please consult your advisor and read the prospectus before investing. There may be commissionstrailing commissions, management fees and expenses associated with mutual fund investments.Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not berepeated.

STAPLE OF HOLIDAY DECORChances are, holiday revelers will find themselves underneatthe mistletoe at least once this holiday season. While themight know what to do when that time comes, they might noknow the history of that plant above their heads. Especiallsacred to Celtic Druids, mistletoe was believed to bestow lifand fertility, while also protecting against poison and servinas an aphrodisiac. Mistletoe would later take on a morpolitical meaning, as the ritual of cutting the mistletoe camto symbolize the emasculation of the old king by h

successor.Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways oentryways from one room to another. This tradition can alstrace itself back several centuries to the Middle Ages. Durinthe Middle Ages, branches of mistletoe were hung fromceilings to ward off evil spirits. Throughout Europe, mistletowas placed over doorways in the house as well as the stables aa means to preventing the entrance of witches.

The tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likelstems from the belief that mistletoe bestows fertility and ioften associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, period of merrymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18tcentury England, a young lady standing underneath thmistletoe could not refuse to be kissed. Once kissed, the kiswould signify deep romance or eternal friendship.

History also suggests that mistletoe was a symbol of peaceIn Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace When standing underneath the mistletoe, enemies coudeclare a truce and spouses could end any marital turmowith a kiss. CH5

WHY DO WE SEND CHRISTMAS CARDS?Dating back to the Victorian Days, we find the origin of theChristmas card. Sir Henry Cole and John Horsley invented acard that displayed three panels. On these panels, severalpictures are drawn. On the middle panel there is a depictionof a family at a festive table scene. The side two panels showan act of Christmas charity, such as clothing the poor. At thebottom of the card was written "Merry Christmas and HappyNew Year." Perhaps this origin dates back even a bit further

with something known as "Christmas Pieces." Young Britishboys away from there family, while at school, wrote home togreet their parents, but more importantly to show them how

their writing was progressing. Today, Christmas cards aresent as a token of holiday affection and greetings. CH 19

PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY WHILE SHOPPING

ONLINE

With more Canadians buying goods and services more often othe internet, the Better Business Bureau is offering tips foconsumers to stay secure when shopping online. According tthe latest Statistics Canada report, Canadians bought $15.billion worth of goods and services online last year. That's up 1per cent from $12.8 billion over the previous two years. Annearly 40 per cent of adults now shop online, up from 32 pecent two years earlier.

With so many Canadians turning on their computers for theshopping needs, the BBB offers the following tips to helprevent being taken in by unscrupulous online retailerscammers and hackers:-Use trustworthy websites - shoppers should start with BBB tcheck on the seller's reputation and record for customesatisfaction. Always look for a "trustmark" from BBBOnLine anclick on that seal to confirm that it's valid.-Protect your computer - a computer should always have th

most recent updates installed for spam filters, anti-virus ananti-spyware software, and a secure firewall.-Protect your personal information - BBB recommends takinthe time to read the site's privacy policy and understand whapersonal information is being requested and how it will be usedIf there isn't one posted, it should be taken as a red flag thapersonal information may be sold to others without permission-Confirm your online purchase is secure - shoppers shoul

always look in the address box for the "s" in https:// and in thlower-right corner for the "lock" symbol before paying. If therare any doubts about a site, BBB recommends right-clickinanywhere on the page and select "Properties." This will let yosee the real URL (Web site address) and the dialog box wireveal if the site is not encrypted.-Pay with a credit card - it's best to use a credit card, because thshopper can dispute the charges if he or she doesn't receive thitem. Shoppers may also dispute if there are unauthorizecharges on their credit card, and many card issuers have "zer

liability" policies under which the cardholder pays nothing someone steals the credit card number and uses it.-Keep documentation of your order - after completing th

online order process, there may be a final confirmation page othe shopper might receive confirmation by e-mail - BBrecommends saving a copy of the webpage and any e-mails fofuture reference and as a record of the purchase.-Check your credit card statements often - don't wait for papestatements; BBB recommends consumers check their credcard statements for suspicious activity by either calling credcard companies or by checking statements online regularly. 90

TEXTING WHILE DRIVING - A CONCERNCAA survey finds texting while driving now a greater concerfor Canadians than impaired driving - texting while drivinhas surpassed drinking and driving as the biggest singltraffic safety concern for Canadians, a CAA poll has found.

For more than a decade, Canadians consistently said thaimpaired driving topped their list of concerns when they gebehind the wheel - but that has now changed. The CAA survealso shows that young Canadians, disproportionately thosunder 30, are texting while driving on a frequent basis.

Seven provinces have implemented legislation bannintexting while driving, but almost all these laws are relativelnew. The CAA poll of over 6,000 Canadians found that 85% orespondents feel texting while driving is the number one roasafety issue today. Impaired driving remains the number twconcern, at 83%. Among CAA members, the difference ieven more pronounced, with 88% feeling texting whildriving is the biggest concern.As well, the poll found the problem is not a lack of awarenes

of the law. Canadians of all ages are familiar with cell phonlaws in their respective regions.

The CAA poll of 6,000 Canadians is considered accurate twithin 1.3 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. 903

are still being reviewed, and they will be posted on our websiteonce they are approved by the Executive and Board.News from the Riverbank: The river had a coating of iceunusually early this year, with significant ice covering themain stem for several days earlier this week. But, the recentmild weather has melted all the ice, and is maintaining waterlevels at the two meter mark at the Centre. The ice moved ourmigrating waterfowl along, although theres still some ducksand geese holding in the open water. The water levels haveprevented us from doing our annual fall redd count ofspawning salmon, but we are still hoping for a weather windowthat will let us do at least a partial count on the upper river. All indications are that salmon are in the river in goodnumbers. Tickets on sale to support HRAA and ASF: Looking for an idealstocking-stuffer for the angler in the family?

MOORE FROM OTTAWARob Moore, MP Fundy Royal

The past year has seen many economic challenges to smallbusinesses around the world. In Canada, our government isworking to ensure that our small businesses are the best-equipped to deal with these challenges. This is one of thereasons that the International Monetary Fund has rankedCanadas economy as the strongest economy in the G-7 for2010 and 2011. This is good news for Canada and good newsfor our small business owners. This years Global

th stEntrepreneur Week, from November 15 -21 , was cause forcelebration.

Small and medium-sized enterprises are the foundation of

our economy because they account for 98% of all businessesin Canada. Our government is proud to stand with them toensure that they have access to the tools they need to succeedin the market. One of the ways we have accomplished this isthrough partnering with small businesses through theCanada Small Business Financing Program, which deliversapproximately $1 billion in financing annually through loansto small businesses and start-up companies.

Assisting entrepreneurs succeed in the current climate isone of the top priorities of our government, which is one ofthe reasons we have increased the Small Business Thresholdto $500,000. Our government also believes thatentrepreneurs and small business owners should be able to

work directly with the market, and this is why we have cutfederal red tape 20% from 2006 to 2009. We have also set up aRed Tape Reduction Commission to study ways to make themarket more accessible to our Canadian small businessesand more affordable for Canadian families. We also loweredthe corporate tax rate to 11% so that our entrepreneurs canbe more successful in Canada. Along with this, we have cutthe GST for all Canadians from 7% to 5%, and introduced aTax Free Savings Account, so that you can keep more of yourmoney in your own pocket.With the end of the year approaching, our government is

looking to small businessowners and families from ourregion to provide suggestionsfor our upcoming SpringB u d g e t . I f y o u h a v esuggestions or comments, Iwould encourage you to getinvolved in the Pre-Budgetconsultations by visitingwww.fin.gc.ca/prebudget-prebudgetaire/1-eng.asp andleaving your comments. 513

GO GREEN WITH HOLIDAY CLEANUP

The holiday season has arrived. Celebrations and gifts will beat the forefront of the festivities. Once all of the gifts are tornopen, there are bound to be mounds of wrapping paper ineach and every home, which can mean damaging waste forthe environment. Wrapping paper, boxes and ribbons tossedstraight into the garbage can mean that pounds of addedtrash will end up in landfills across the country. According tothe Clean Air Council, an additional 5 million tons of waste isgenerated during the holidays in the United States. Four

million tons of that waste is wrapping paper and shoppingbags. There are smarter solutions to dealing with holidayclean-up.

The first step is choosing environmentally responsible wrapping materials. Glossy, metallic or embellishedwrapping paper may not be easily recycled - or even recyclableat all. Instead, look for wrapping paper that is made fromrecycled materials and can, in turn, be recycled once more.Consider wrapping gifts in plain, brown mailing paper anddecorate the outside with earth-friendly paints.Next, nix the tissue paper inside of gift boxes. It doesn't reallyserve a functional purpose, except for further delaying thereveal of the gift inside. Tissue paper alone accounts for a lotof extra trash. Skipping it means a person will be savingmoney and the environment. Here are some other greencleanup tips:-Designate a child or adult to gather the discarded wrappingmaterials and sort the piles into trash. Ribbons and bows canbe reused, as can many gift boxes and bags.-Shred paper items that are bound for the trash to reduce

their volume and require fewer trash bags for transport.

-Find out if a shipping store will take foam peanuts and airfilled wraps to be recycled.-Be sure to collect expired batteries and recycle them at

facility that does so.-Christmas trees can be taken down and sent for mulchingMany communities collect trees after the season is over fothis purpose.Because there is bound to be some extra garbage during th

holidays, individuals can take steps to curb trash in otheaspects of their lives this time of the year. Some ideas includusing cloth napkins and actual dishes and cutlery instead odisposable items. Before purchasing new gift paper, sorthrough last year's collection to see what items can be reusedCutting the front off of holiday cards and using them as gitags is another way to recycle. CH4

SCHOOL CLOSURE/DELAY

DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER

School District 6 will communicate all information about

school closures and delays prior to 6:30 a.m. on local

radio stations, toll free at 1-888-868-6555, Snowline at

www.district6.nbed.nb.ca, or follow us on Twitter at

SchoolDistrict6. On days when the weather is uncertainit is good to check and see if schools are open.

The School District will consider one of the following

options when making decisions regarding school

closures during inclement weather situations:

1. Schools will remain open as usual. Therefore,

no announcements will be made.

2. All schools will be closed for the day.

3. Some schools will be closed (by geographic

region).

4. Buses are delayed one hour, with all schools in

the district opening at their regular time toreceive students.

5. Schools may be closed early when the weather

conditions are anticipated to deteriorate

significantly during the day. Every effort will be

made to personally notify elementary parents.

If the weather is deteriorating, you may want to

check your home phone for a message, or our

District snow line or website. It is important to

ensure that alternate arrangements are in

place for your child/children if schools are

dismissed early.

Ultimately, parents have the final decision in inclementweather situations. If you feel that walking/driving

conditions in your particular area are hazardous, you

may choose not to send your child/children to school.

Absences on these days will not be a factor in

determining a students attendance record.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOWDreaming of a white Christmas? Many people look forward tonew-fallen snow to add to the picture of the holiday season.How many, though, give thought to how snow actually forms?

Snowflakes are ice crystals that form in the clouds. Watervapor freezes and clings to the dust particles in the air. As thecrystals group together, they form snowflakes.Snowflakes are hexagonal crystals, meaning they always havesix sides. Snowflakes can grow in different forms, includingcolumns, needles, plates, dendrites, columns with plates, andirregular shapes. Complex shapes emerge as the flake movesthrough differing temperatures and humidity levels.When snowflakes melt and refreeze they may come down

from the sky in the form of a ball instead of a flake. These areknown as graupel.Snowflakes are unique in that no two are the same. Because

they are ice crystals, they are also clear in color. However,when gathered on the surface of roadways or other items,they collectively reflect the light and give off that white hue.

A snowflake is often the universal symbol for winter or wintertime conditions. In Russia, people have long madepaper snowflakes during the Christmas season and hungthem in the windows. A snowflake also was the symbol of the

winter olympics in 2002.Although snowflakes are cold, snow can actually act as an

insulator. The intricate shapes of snowflakes trap air inbetween the flakes as they pile up. These tiny pockets of airprevent air from circulating, thus preventing heat from beingtransferred by convection. CH1

WHY ARE THERE OVERSIZED SOCKHANGING ON YOUR MANTEL?

According to a very old tradition, theoriginal Saint Nicholas left his very firstgifts of gold coins in the stockings ofthree poor girls who needed the moneyfor their wedding dowries. The girls hadhung their stockings by the fire to dry. Up

until lately, it was traditional to receivesmall items like fruit, nuts and candy in

your stocking, but these have beenreplaced in the last half-century by moreexpensive gifts in many homes. The tradition of a lump of coain the stockings of naughty children comes from Italy. CH14

WINTER-PROOF YOUR HOME

Your home may protect you from the harsh winds and

chilling temperatures of a Canadian winter, but have you

taken steps to protect it? House fires and water damage to a

home, particularly from frozen pipes bursting, are some ofthe top issues Canadians face during the winter months,

according to insurance data.

To help you avoid potential damage to your house this

winter, here are 10 tips to winter-proof your home:

1. What may seem like small cracks in pipes can actuallyleak out gallons of water and cause considerable damage to

your home. If you notice that water has stopped running

from your taps and suspect frozen pipes are the culprit, call

a plumber immediately to assess the situation.

2. Disconnect all garden hoses and purchase covers for

outdoor faucets to keep the cold out.

3. Insulate pipes that are most likely to be exposed to the

cold, such as those located in the attic or crawlspaces of

your home.

4. Seal any cracks in all pipes that could let in the cold. This

will help to keep pipes from freezing and save money on

heating costs as well.5. On extremely cold days, allow several different faucets to

drip slightly with lukewarm water, as the constant

movement of the water can keep them from freezing.

6. Shut off the water before you travel. If youre going awayduring the winter months, turn off the water supply and

open all faucets to drain your pipes before you leave. Excess

water can freeze and cause pipes to burst while you are away

7. Know how to shut off the main water valve in your hom

and show everyone living in your home how to shut it off i

case of an emergency.

8. Have your furnace inspected annually, preferably beforthe temperature drops below zero.

9. If you have a fireplace or use a woodstove, be sure to hav your chimney cleaned and inspected and take prop

precautions when lighting these fires.

10. Familiarize yourself with your homes insurance policto determine what is and isnt covered.

TRANSITIONS - HIGH SCHOOL & BEYONDThere is a flurry of activity at this time of year as we preparefor the holiday season and the long winter ahead. This passingfrom one season to another is made easier and moreenjoyable, ultimately, with thoughtful planning, preparationand a positive attitude.

Similarly, the transition to life after high school is madesmoother with a plan. For high school students with anintellectual disability, such as Down's syndrome or AutismSpectrum Disorder (ASD), careful planning is also important.

A transition plan begins with a vision that is positive andpossible for the future of the student and his or her family. Itis a process that respects student choices at all stages, and ismeant to address the particular needs of the individual andwill be as unique as the student is.

A Transition Facilitator can help with this process bymeeting with the student, family and school-based team todiscuss the student's goals and identify the services andsupports that will be needed to meet these objectives. Thegoals can be related to employment, post-secondary training,social inclusion or independent living.The Transition Facilitator may take the leadership role in the

development of a transition plan. While the role ofprofessionals is important, the process will be far moreeffective if a student and his or her parents take an active rolein sharing ideas and responsibilities. Parents can take aleadership role by developing ongoing and positivecommunication with teachers and the other professionalsinvolved. It also helps when families have been proactive byfostering a growing independence and healthy self-esteem athome by adding rights and responsibilities as the child growsand matures over time.

ELDER INVESTMENT FRAUD & FINANCIALEXPLOITATIONSubmitted by the New Brunswick Securities Commission

Value and protect our seniors by learning to recognize andreport financial abuse. Elder abuse can come in many forms -physical, emotional, financial, neglect or abandonment - andit is a serious concern. Unfortunately fears of agediscrimination and loss of empowerment may keep seniorsfrom speaking up when they are being abused. Those whocare for seniors should support and encourage discussions of

suspected financial abuse and other financial concerns withseniors.Older victims of financial abuse, including investment

fraud, are especially at risk; if they lose all or part of their lifesavings they have less time to recover their financial stability.The effects of financial abuse and exploitation go well beyondthe pocketbook and can lead to social isolation, depression,anxiety and other negative health effects.

If a senior you know is showing signs of any of the followingseek help from a lawyer, doctor or the police: Having troublepaying bills because the bills are confusing; Not confident inmaking big financial decisions alone; Not understandingfinancial decisions that someone else is making for them;Giving loans or gifts more than they can afford; Feelingpressure to give away their money; People are calling them ormailing them asking for money; Someone is abusing theaccess to their bank accounts; Money seems to bedisappearing from their accounts; Someone else is cashingtheir pension, insurance or other cheques withoutpermission; Someone has forced them to sign overcontrol/power of attorney, sell their house or change their

will.For information about making informed financial decisions,

avoiding investment scams or reporting investment fraud,contact the New Brunswick Securities Commission at 1-866-9 3 3 - 2 2 2 2 o r v i s i t o u r w e b s i t e a t

KEEP KIDS OCCUPIED - CHRISTMAS BREAK Winter break can be the perfect respite for school-agechildren. Although not quite halfway through the school yeathe timing of winter break does come when kids might bpreoccupied with the holiday season and all that comes witit. Kids may be distracted about parties and presents, buparents maybe preoccupied with finding ways their kids caspend their time during winter break - a typically two-weehiatus from school that begins shortly before Christmas anends with kids' return to school shortly after New Year's Day

Parents facing the dilemma of finding something for kids tdo during winter break should consider the following tips.-Take a vacation: Vacation is the easy way out. Winter breamight mark the only time until summer that parents caspend quality time with their kids completely away from thdistractions of everyday life. Vacation can mean a trip t

warmer climates or simply packing up the car to go spentime with the grandparents. If there's any vacation time tspare, consider hitting the road.-Teach kids some practical lessons: Kids likely won't miss thclassroom during winter break, but that doesn't mean theraren't enjoyable ways for kids to learn while they're away fromschool. Teach kids practical lessons, like how to cook favorite meal or how to fix things around the house. This giveparents a chance to spend some quality time with their kid

while encouraging kids to learn beyond the classroom. An who knows, such lessons at home may uncover a childhidden talent.-Encourage kids to read for pleasure: Reading improve

vocabulary and can stimulate a child's imagination. Durinthe winter break, encourage kids to read a book or the dailnewspaper for pleasure, assuring them there won't be anquizzes or tests after each chapter. Get the ball rolling withfew books given as presents during Christmas or ChanukahOr take a trip to the local library and let kids choose their owbooks.-Soak up some snow:
