HOHOHO & HUMBUG!

If you read that Musings thing by the missus near the back of this issue, you can probably guess that she kinda gets right into the Christmas thing. So of course, with the firm belief that every opinion deserves an opposite point of view, I say humbug!! “Don’t these lights over the window look great??” “Humbug!!” “Check out the evergreen arrangements!” “Humbug!!” “Got you a new tractor for Christmas!!” “HUMB... Hmmm, could that be possible?? HOHOHO!!... Merry Christmas, my dear” While tractors for Christmas could certainly make someone like me feel just great, are there other alternatives to bring about or honour the Christmas spirit? In other words, can we cut back on the presents for Christmas and spend time instead of money. Think of the benefits. Loads of fuel saved by not driving from store to store. Think how fat your wallet would feel in January, instead of a flat wallet, over-heated credit and debit cards. We could sail through Christmas stress free, not worrying about a present for the person

with everything!! (But a donation in their name to a charity of your choice would make a great alternative to more “stuff ”.) Every new movement needs a leader. And Mikie is that person .. so sorry dear, I returned that beautiful diamond necklace and of course that new car. But, look honey I cooked you a lovely pot of chili and cleaned up three days worth of pots and pans!! Isn’t this WONDERFUL??? Please reduce your stress and make time for family and friends. To everyone in the Ossekeag Family (Staff, Readers, and Advertisers), have a safe and very happy holiday. See you again in the New Year!! 0001

WHAT IS yOUR FAVOURITE

CHRISTMAS SONG?

I have always had a love and curiosity for Christmas and holiday music. The good, the bad and the just plain strange, LOL. I make a point every year to discover new seasonal albums to add to our expansive collection here at home. A couple new songs I’d like to introduce you to include my friends in Bill Wood and The Woodies and their new instant holiday classic “I’m Goin Home”. Another one I just discovered is Paul Kelly’s brilliant “How to make Gravy.” I also asked a few cool folks in our community about their favorite and most memorable Christmas song. Sadie Donahue - "River by Joni Mitchell.” Not very Christmas-y, but I've always liked it and how she describes how she feels.” Brent Mason - “Fairytale of New York by The Pogues.” “Because it manages to

uplift while being quite tragic - as only the Irish can!” Megan Toner – “Christmas to Remember by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.” “My mom has had a copy of their Christmas CD since before I can remember; it doesn't feel like Christmas to me until I hear it played!” James Mullinger – “Agreed! The entire Kenny and Dolly Christmas album is my favorite album of all time!” Greg Belyea - "Baby, It's Cold Outside”, written by Frank Loesser and covered by just about everyone who has ever sung a duet. Not particularly a Christmas song but you only hear it around this season and I dig the back and forth and the tempo.” Jessica Rhaye - "White Christmas" - It's just doesn't feel like Christmas without snow... just a little . Margaret Mawhinney - “For me it was “New Star Shining”. “To me it is the True Story of Christmas that can be explained in about 3 minutes, so for me that is so powerful”.

Claudette Norman - “I agree (with Margaret) that the message in that song is indeed powerful. My favorite is “There’s A New Kid In Town”. “For two reasons: I love the melody and I think our vocals are strong. And of course, Baby Jesus, Bethlehem… signifies hope, happiness… where it all began”. Rhonda Cusack - "One of my favorites is "Oh Holy night" just because of the depth of melody and the warmth it makes me feel. Depending upon the vocal I am usually moved to tears..."Allen Scott – “I like Run Run Rudolph”... “because it… you know… rocks.” Claudette, Margaret along with Allen Scott make-up the musical trio “We Be 3”. I just profiled their new Christmas album on my CBC column. 0041

CHRISTMAS KETTLE KICK OFF IN HAMPTON

The Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign began in Hampton with the official Kick-off at Jamie’s Independent Grocer. The funds raised through the kettles help provide direct, compassionate hands-on service to hundreds of people each year, restoring hope and dignity to those who might otherwise remain invisible in society. For more than 130 years, The Salvation Army Christmas Kettles have been, and continue to be, an efficient and effective method of raising money to support The Salvation Army work in Hampton, Norton, Sussex, Chipman, Petitcodiac , St. Martins and areas in between. Last year, the Christmas Kettles throughout our region raised $50,000 and Major Folkins said, “money remains in our area to support those in need. This year’s goal is $52,000. Please give generously to our Christmas Kettle Campaign. Your gift will bring joy and hope!” Major Folkins thanked campaign coordinator, Wendy Virtue who recruits the “Volunteer Bell Ringers” - “Thank you to our Volunteers!”

Also, he acknowledged members of Rotary Club, Lions Club and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #28 who were in attendance and thanked them for their ongoing support with the Kettles. Councillor Peter Behr brought greetings on behalf of the Town of Hampton and expressed thanks and appreciation to The Salvation Army and to the community for their support of the Christmas Kettle Campaign.

Major Judy Folkins said, “The Salvation Army will continue to reach out to those in need. We will be there for those who need help at Christmas and throughout the year. We encourage those who need assistance to call 433-5461.” A big thank you to Jamie Alexander and the team at the Independent Grocer for providing a special cake, tea and coffee for the launching of the Kettle Campaign. 3271

FRESH WITH FOOD by Dave Wolpin

DRESS yOUR GREENSWe have been duped into believing that salad dressing is something we need to buy. I Googled the ingredients of some commercial salad dressings and the first ingredients for most are soybean oil, high-fructose corn syrup and sugar and they all contain Calcium Disodium EDTA, which they claim is there to "protect freshness." Healthy salad dressings are sold without unhealthy oils, sugar or preservatives, but I feel that they are unnecessary, considering how simple and quick it is to make your own. With the abundance of greens available year-round at Kredl's, there is no better time to start making salad a daily part of your meal. The key is to dress it right. Homemade dressings take less than five minutes to make and since most salad dressings have a high vinegar content, they'll keep for weeks in your fridge. I recommend making a batch of salad dressing every three or four days, so you can switch it up frequently to keep your

taste buds excited. As a child I didn't find salad very tasty, so I always thought that people used salad dressing to make their salad palatable. I always thought it was silly for people to try so hard just to eat salad. Why not just have a bowl of salad dressing, right? Undoubtedly, I have since learned a lot about the importance of healthy food. I know that most of us do not eat nearly enough greens and they are definitely among the top three most important parts of our diet. In my opinion, most of our daily consumption should be fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and if you choose, meat a couple times a week. I have discovered that salad dressings actually have a purpose beyond just making salad taste better. The human body needs small levels of fats to absorb the nutrition from greens. In fact, in a study published by the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition, it was found that 10 hours after consumption, nutrient levels in the bloodstream of

those who eat salad with fat-free salad dressing were virtually non-existent compared to the levels in someone who ate the same salad with full-fat dressing. You also only need a small amount of fat with your salad to gain the benefits. The healthiest way to eat fat is from whole foods like nuts and seeds. Many salads are topped with a few cashews, walnuts or a tahini (ground sesame seeds) based dressing, which is perfect. Personally, a little toasted sesame oil or extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) are among my favourite additions to a salad dressing, but a tablespoon is more than enough. To find Dave’s favourite ingredients to make your own salad dressing find his article on: ossekeag.ca. 0039

REASON FOR THE SEASON

If you're still in denial that Christmas is almost upon us, just take a trip to the mall! That 10 minute walk from the far reaches of the parking lot warms just the heart doesn't it? And, once you're inside, it gets even more delightful. I have a knack for getting behind that one person in the checkout line who doesn't have a price tag on one or more of their items – price check! And, without fail, my vertically challenged self gets bumped into, butted in front of and even ignored all whilst hearing the blood curdling screams of someone's mini-me having a full blown temper tantrum in aisle 4. Yes, in case you haven't figured it out, I'd rather have a root canal than shop this time of year. Add to it the stress of getting ready for what has become the commercialized spectacle we call Christmas, it just isn't fun anymore. Whatever happened to the days when Christmas wasn't even thought about

until Remembrance Day had passed? I can remember a time when Christmas was about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The annual celebration revolved around church, concerts, carolling and spending quality time with family. Now, more than ever, it seems to have become about who can snag the most extravagant gift. And, that gift is often centred around the latest in new technology – smart phones, computers and televisions! Ironically, the very things that are meant to make communication easier, are often the reason we spend less time actually talking to each other. As much as the infamous ice storm of 2013 was a major inconvenience, I think it was His way of reminding us of what's really important. Being off the grid for several days forced us all to actually take a deep breath and focus on each other. There was a true sense of community that we hadn't witnessed in a long time. Everyone pulled together to help their neighbours, check on loved ones, open their homes to those without power and make the best of a

difficult situation. I didn't realize just how much I relied on satellite television, laptops and phones. Once myself (and thousands of others) were done our pity party, I was able to look back on the whole experience with humour. No, I didn't enjoy being without the luxuries, but I did enjoy not having the constant distractions that technology brings. I can't remember the last time I'd actually eaten by candlelight, talked to my daughter without a phone or computer in the way, or talked to family with no distractions. As we prepare to celebrate another Christmas with family and friends, remember the reason for the season, put down those phones and laptops, and enjoy one another.

READERS FOR HACKMATACK PROGRAM

Book Awards. “The Hackmatack program is a fun and educational way to support families and lifelong learning,” said Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Minister Francine Landry. “Programs like this have a positive impact on youth and complement our government’s plan to develop a comprehensive literacy strategy.” Hackmatack Children’s Choice Book Awards is an Atlantic Canadian

initiative involving libraries, schools and bookstores. Awards are given in four categories: English Fiction, English Nonfiction, French Fiction and French Nonfiction. Each year, selection committees comprised of library staff from New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, nominate 40 Canadian books as candidates for the awards. The nominated books are available in New Brunswick public libraries. Public libraries host Hackmatack Book Clubs and also work with some New Brunswick public school teachers to offer the program. The program runs through the school year and concludes in the spring. Participants have until December 31 to join a book club. “Our libraries are engaging young readers by giving them the opportunity to read the nominated books, discuss the books they have read at book club meetings, post their reviews of the books in the New Brunswick Public Library Service catalogue, and even vote for their favourite book,” Landry said. This is the 16th year for the book awards. Each year, the project attracts about 350 reading groups from communities in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. An estimated 7,500 children participate. 3272

KEEPING yOUR CHRISTMAS TREE FRESH

Did you know that your Christmas tree likely has around 350,000 needles on it? That’s a pile of sweeping up to do if your tree isn’t properly cared for. So, what can you do to keep your tree fresh and how do you get the right tree for your house? When you’re at the tree lot give the tree a slight shake and run your fingers over a few of the needles, if you’re noticing a shower of green needles then the tree is already dried out and you’ll want to find a different tree. Before you put your tree up make sure to cut one inch of the bottom of the trunk. This will help your tree to suck up the water it needs to stay moist and green during the holiday season. To keep your Christmas tree well hydrated make sure that the base you use can hold about 3-4 liters of water, and never let the water dry up completely or the sap will leak out of the bottom and form a resin over the cut end inhibiting water intake. When you first fill up your tree base, re-check it in a couple hours as your tree will suck up all the water it’s been missing sitting in the tree lot. After that initial drink you only need to check your tree once or twice a day to make sure there is adequate water. A funnel and an old length of old garden house hidden out of sight will make watering duties much easier from the back. Make sure to keep your tree away from any heat sources and out of the sunlight to keep it fresh for as long as possible. 3284

LACROSSE NB CLINIC

The game of lacrosse in New Brunswick is about to be taken to a whole new level thanks to a unique partnership between Lacrosse New Brunswick (LNB) and lacrosse superstar, Colin Doyle, Captain of the Toronto Rock. LNB recently signed a contract which will involve Doyle in a series of training camps run in the Saint John and Moncton areas from January to April and will be open to players from the Novice to Midget divisions from across the province.

“The Lacrosse New Brunswick Program for Excellence” will allow children the opportunity to experience the game under the direction of local coaches with Doyle developing and guiding the program, attending sessions virtually to speak to the players and making four in-person appearances throughout the course of the training. He will also be present to personally coach the New Brunswick provincial teams at the 2015 Nationals in Whitby, Ontario. This is an incredible opportunity for local lacrosse players to develop their skills under the direction of one of the top players in Canada. Registration is now open for new and returning players in the Novice, Peewee, Bantam and Midget age groups with sessions commencing on Sunday, January 11 with the first live clinic with Doyle.

ASK THE CHEF by Colin Sift on

CRANBERRy SAUCE

Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Last time I wrote about stuffing/dressing, so this time I thought I would keep with the season and write about cranberry sauce. You can’t have Christmas dinner without cranberry sauce. We always make our cranberry sauce from scratch here at Holly’s and I will let you know before I am done how easy it is to make. A lot of people buy cranberry sauce but hopefully after this you won’t have too. Cranberry sauce was introduced by Native Americans to the pilgrims, who found cranberries to be a natural preservative. They would add it to dried meats to give it flavour. It was General Ulysses S. Grant who ordered it served to the troops during the siege of Petersburg in 1864, which made it a common condiment known today. Cranberry sauce was first commercially canned in 1912 by the Cape Cod Cranberry Company which marketed the product

as "Ocean Spray Cape Cod Cranberry Sauce.” Now today they are only known as Ocean Spray and are the largest cranberry producers in the world. There's a good reason why cranberry juice is recommended for urinary tract infections. In 1998, researchers at Rutgers found that cranberry juice prevents E. coli bacteria from sticking to the cells of the urinary tract, so it flushes out of the body in the urine. Cranberries also contain a potent vasodilator which opens up bronchial tubes, and is a good source of Vitamin C to help enhance immunity and aid in calcium absorption. It is one of those perfect foods. So how easy is it to make cranberry sauce? It really isn’t that difficult. Cranberries have a natural thickening agent so you don’t have to reduce too much and you do not have to add corn starch. So this is what I do to make cranberry sauce:2 cups frozen cranberries, you can use fresh, but I prefer frozen; main reason is because I don’t have to use the whole bag and throw half of it out.

Colin SiftonOwner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

1/3 cup of sugar. I prefer brown sugar but it doesn’t make too much of a difference if it is white or brown.1 cup orange juice. Now you can use water or a different flavoured juice if you want. Bring to a boil and cook until the berries begin to split open and thicken. Set to cool and it will continue to get thicker. You should always taste as you go. If you think it is too sweet, reduce your sugar. Some people like to add cinnamon or cloves. My sister adds rosemary and some brandy to hers. It is tasty and unique to her but I like to keep things simple. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. Merry Christmas to you and your family and we hope to see you in the New Year. 0040

DAIRy ZONE SENIORS’ NEWS

December 1, 2014 became a very special day, whcn 50 members from the Dairy Zone Seniors travelled to the Belleisle Community Centre to enjoy a turkey dinner prepared by the ladies of the community. President Carl Fowler welcomed everyone and member Lynn Allaby asked the Blessing before the meal was served. After the very ample meal and a delicious dessert, Russell Webster thanked the ladies in the kitchen for their work on our behalf. Russell then introduced Theresa Hickman from Knightville. Theresa is a music teacher and with her Yamaha Keyboard, she began playing and singing some of the older traditional Christmas Carols. Some of theresa’s favourite songs are found in an old hymn book which had a wooden cover and the pages were held together with twine. Her rendition of “Star of Bethlehem” was very inspirational and following this song, there was a lovely participation by all club members when everyone joined in singing “Silent Night”.

Then, Tim Jefferies, a member of the Norton Golden Nuggets, gave a solo performance of the beautiful song “White Christmas”. This song was written by Irving Berlin in 1940 and it has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. Tim certainly proved it is still very popular today. The last song by Theresa and Tim as the beautiful song titled “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. This song has become one of the favourite Christmas songs of all time and it originated in England in the 16th Century.

Traditionally, in that era, the wealthy people in each community went out carolling on Christmas Eve and gave poor families pudding cakes as a special gift of the season. The song is one of the few English Carols that even mentions a New Year’s celebration. As everyone left for home many good wishes were exchanged and we all extend special thanks to the Norton Golden Nuggets for making the arrangements for this Dairy Zone event.

Respectfully submitted, J. Hill, Dairy Zone Secretary. 3279

DIRECTOR’S NOTES by lee Bolton

Lee BoltonExecutive Director,

Imperial Theatre

DECEMBER AT IMPERIAL THEATRE

Ah, Christmas. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Wait a minute - wrong occasion! No matter, I think it perfectly fits Imperial Theatre’s Christmas shows. Measha Brueggergosman’s mashup arrangement, “White/Blue Christmas” started me on the theme. Two old favourites performed by one of New Brunswick's own, a consummate performer who started her maritime tour in Saint John on December 3 and finishes it in St. John’s on Saturday, December 20. Theatre New Brunswick wraps up old, new and borrowed in their adaptation of "A Christmas Carol." Borrowing Charles Dickens’ classic story, the team of Caleb Marshall (book and lyrics) and Michael Doherty (music and lyrics) are bringing the province a

new take on the old miser who finally discovers the Christmas spirit. They are also bringing home a Saint John boy who got his start acting right across the street from us at St. Malachy's High School. Shawn Wright will be taking a star turn on the Imperial stage as Ebenezer himself. Another group of old friends will bring traditional Maritime holiday cheer to our stage on Thursday, December 18. The Barra MacNeils will be warming up the house in a concert of seasonal songs new and old, keeping the Celtic in Christmas and the party in the kitchen. Metaphorically, at least. For 27 years, "the Barras" as everybody calls them, have been touring with their music. They bring a bit of Cape Breton to the rest of Canada, and a bit of Canada to the rest of the world. I expect there will be a few misty eyes in the room. That's Imperial's contribution to the season - shows we're bringing to town that we hope will keep spirits bright.

Oh, and to avoid the "Christmas-is-over-but-the-kids-are-home-for-AGES-yet Blues" we have Dufflebag Theatre's "Cinderella" on Saturday, December 27 at 1:00pm. An old story with a new twist - they borrow audience members to be the stars! I'm Lee Bolton, Executive Director of Imperial Theatre. It's my job to search out great shows to put on our beautiful stage, and my joy to tell people about them. Check us out online at: imperialtheatre.com. 0030

WE DAy ATLANTIC CANADA

“We Day Atlantic Canada”, Halifax NS, highlights some of the greatest social issues of today and provides the young people in attendance, and tens of thousands more watching the event streamed live, ways in which they can find their place within the movement to create global change. This year, “We Day Atlantic Canada” on November 28, engaged and inspired 8,000 students from over 300 schools to take action on local and global causes that are important to them. Anglophone South School District sent students from Fairvale Elementary, Sussex Middle, Hampton Middle, Quispamsis Middle, Barnhill Middle and River Valley Middle School. Three students from Anglophone South (two RVMS students and one Barnhill student) received Governor General Caring Canadian Awards (three out of the ten awarded for all of Atlantic Canada), and two of our students were asked to be in the Press Box (the only two asked from among the 8,000plus “We Day” attendees) at lunch to represent all the students with the press.

This year’s special guests included Mia Farrow, Canadian astronaut Dr. Dave Williams, Amanda Lindhout, Kardinal Offishall, Shawn Desman and Kweku Mandela, amongst others with international activists and co-founders

MUSINGS by Debbie hickey

IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER

Am I ready for Christmas? Of course not. There is always more that can be done. But I am ready enough. There are sufficient decorations to make the house feel festive. The shopping is close enough to finished that I am not stressing over what remains to be done. The cooking, well that can wait until the last few days before the big day. If I do it too early there is too much opportunity for the goodies to mysteriously disappear before Christmas gets here. I do recall one year when the big ice-cream container of cherry balls had only a few lonely survivors in the bottom when retrieved from the freezer . . . Much as I enjoy the shopping for just the right gift for each person on my list, this year was the first that I made some of my Christmas purchases online. This is the modern version of the Sears

and Eaton’s catalogues of my youth. It went quite well, so I may utilize it again next year, but I actually find a printed catalogue much more satisfying and more likely to generate ideas. With a digital search I need at least a clue as to where to start, whereas with the catalogue I can go to a specific section and simply start turning pages til I see something that generates an ah-ha moment! But if I can my shopping started early enough, nothing beats wandering through a local shop and spying the one thing that is the perfect fit for someone on my list. As always, we are closed for the entire period between Christmas and the New Year so that all of us can fully enjoy the Christmas season. Much as we may love what we do, we all look forward to this downtime at the end of each year. To everyone in our Ossekeag family, thank you for a great year. It has had its ups and downs, we have seen many changes, we have celebrated together and we have
