The Valley Viewer

The provincial election will soon be kicking into high gear. If I am right, there will be several words that we will hear repeatedly during the campaign such as “responsible”, “sustainable” and “deficit reduction”. Oh and I forgot about “jobs, jobs jobs”. So here is what we need to think about and ask about when we hear these words. “Responsible” - there is virtually no one (except Mikie) who admits to being irresponsible. So politicians are like your 13 year old wanting to go out on their first date. They’ll try to snowball you any way that they can. So just like your 13 year old, you have to ask tough questions and demand details. “So tell me... what exactly would responsible resource development look like??” And, “Who exactly would decide whether it is in fact responsible??” “Sustainable” - the first question here is “sustainable for who”?? Practices such as clear cutting can actually be beneficial for some wildlife but not so good for others. And the next question is “sustainable for how long”?? If it takes 300 years of tree farming before the soil is so poorly degraded that growth levels fall dramatically, is this sustainable”?? Short of the outrageously stupid, virtually everything is sustainable for some period of time. “Deficit Reduction” - this will be promised by all parties and every candidate. The devil of course is in the details. If they are not absolutely specific

in where cuts will be made and especially if they are promising there will be no cuts to health care, education or roads, look elsewhere for a credible candidate or party. If their promise is deficit reduction through growing the economy... run for the hills... and see “jobs, jobs, jobs” below. “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” - everybody wants them and nobody knows how to get them!! “So… smartypants how do you know that??” If job creation was at all simple, unemployment wouldn’t exist anywhere in the world!! The ONLY short term way that a government can create jobs is by spending our money and that does not bode well for deficit reduction, where you are cutting jobs, not creating them. Now to be fair, I do believe that there are long term strategies that can position New Brunswick to excel and create job growth in the long term, but a four year horizon to the next election is not long term!! Yes, we can rapidly rely on fracking for some jobs, but it is not a sustainable strategy for the long term success of the province. All I can say is good luck as we wade through the next few weeks of promises and remember that a good pair of hip waders, a good pressure washing afterwards and we will all be as good as new. 0001

2014 HAMPTON 5-MILER This year’s ‘Hampton 5-Miler’, including the ‘Kids’ Kilometre’ and ‘Three for Me 3K’ will be on Sunday, September 7. Runners, walkers and waddlers of all ages are welcome. There’s something for everyone. This well organized event, which will see hundreds of people of all ages, speeds and abilities, begins at the High school at 10:00am, covering a five mile circuit around Hampton. The event runs the gamut from being a Super Series Run and 5-Mile Provincial Championship for the more serious runners, to being a family affair with a 1k fun run for those under 12 (9:00am), and a 3K for those under 16. There will be babysitting in the school for younger ones if mom and dad want to both participate, and shower facilities in the school.

The event is organized by the Hampton River Runners, a group of runners and walkers who put the race on for the benefit of the community. All money raised by way of registration fees and sponsors stays in Hampton to promote healthy active living. This is possible due to the tremendous financial and in-kind support of many local individuals and businesses. We also encourage people to bring their gently used running shoes to donate to a worthy cause. Following the run/walk there is a feast of healthy sandwiches, fruit, cookies and drinks and an award ceremony in the theatre at the school. There are dozens of prizes to be won and not just by the fastest in the crowd. Every registrant is in the running (so to speak!) to win a prize. You just have to be there. Get your neighbour, spouse, grandparents and kids, and join us on Sunday, September 7. You will

feel fantastic and you will be among hundreds of others who feel the same. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged and can be done on-line at: atlanticchip.ca or runningroom. com. For more information go to: hamptonriverrunners.ca or call Jamie Gamble at 832-0366 or Elona Beckett at 333-3915. 3041

IN THE GARDEN by Betty Kennett RED LILY BEETLES, FROLIC NO MORE! Sweet repose for the gardeners and DEEP repose for Red Lily Beetles - thanks to Oscar Boyd’s experimental services we now have an environmentally safe method of dispatching these dreaded beasties that doesn’t involve catching and squishing them. A simple application of a tablespoon of dish detergent in a litre of water and their frolicking days are OVER! How kind of him to share this remedy; the most up to date Internet info is that it would be best not to even try to grow lilies because of the difficulties in eradicating these pests. We are well into harvest time for the currant family and it’s a good idea to attend to the pruning of the bushes as you harvest; the older fruit bearing branches should be removed at ground level (the old chaps are the darkest in colour ) and they will produce less every year if they remain in place. Next,

for the chop are the light brown jobs and those new branches that are still green, this year’s growth; a dense bush will produce a feeble harvest and the best results come from bushes that support about 18 stems, so nine of each would be perfect, all the stems that are removed should be at ground level and a good application of compost and manure will send them into winter, ready to produce next year. If time is short to be inside boiling up the harvest, the fruit can be frozen and used in your favourite ways in the dark days of winter, currants are very high in Vitamin C and a dollop of jelly in a mug of hot water is the best cure I know for the common cold. When the weather forecaster promises rain, it’s a good time to start dividing and replanting many of the spring flowers; Primroses that have been in a clump for over five years really benefit from a bit of a shake up and it’s good to get this done before the leaves wither. Once the clump is dug up it is quite easy to separate the component

parts and dot them around the border, needless to say they will benefit from a mix of well rotted manure mixed with compost, or a dash or two of bone meal. If Mother Nature confounds the forecast, then the gardener will have to water for a few days to establish the plants in their new homes… no watering in the mid-day sun though! Siberian Iris can become a major problem to divide; the best way to handle them is to take a tough curved hand saw and slice them as you might a good fruit pie, then each slice can be cleaned up and re-positioned in several spots in the garden, even though their flowering period short they do present a very attractive foliage, a good backdrop for the later flowers Blessings, Betty. 0038

Fall Fun Registration Guide

he smell of Autumn will soon be creeping into the air as the days get shorter and the night air becomes colder. To many people Summer may be their favourite season, and why not, it’s filled with bright, warm days, green grass, and picnics. The delight of Summer for many can be balanced with the dread of winter. Those long, cold, dark nights where we’re cooped up indoors wondering if the snow will ever melt again. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. Fall is a great time to join a new group or club and put some activity and life into those long winter months that may otherwise be filled with hours piled on hours of sitting in front of the TV, fighting your way to the bottom of the popcorn bowl. A social club can be a great way to meet to people, find a new hobby, or learn a new skill. After all, what do you have to lose? Many have a broad spectrum of members ranging from the experienced and knowledgeable to the beginners, whose enthusiasm for the

craft outweighs any technical skills. Whether you want to join a camera club, a knitting circle, a writer’s group, a running club, a book club, or a car club, there are undoubtedly people out there who share your passion and interest. Check out the groups we have on these pages or search the web to find a group or club that interests you. Nowadays we feel like we can get our social interaction through a screen, whether it be on the couch with our laptops, in bed with our tablets, or on our cell phones. Social

media is no substitute for real oneon-one in person interaction though. So why not get yourself and your kids enrolled in some activities to fill up a couple nights a week. If there’s one benefit to fall and winter, it’s that there seems to be more hours to fill with some form of entertainment. What a wonderful problem to have. No matter what you choose, we hope that you have one of your best falls yet. There’s no better time to get out there and try something new than today!

VCA - BRICKS TO HELP BUILD SCHOOL Students at Valley Christian Academy raised $400 to purchase 400 bricks to help build a school in the Dominican Republic through Lyfe-Aid. Lyfe-Aid supports a school in El Batey (between Puerto Plata and Sousa) with over 235 children sponsored at $20 a month which allows them to attend school and obtain a meal a day, every day of the year. These children may otherwise not have been allowed to attend public school because they do not have birth certificates. A large majority of the students are Haitians. The school started eight years ago with 25 students, today there is over 250 students. The present school is bursting at the seams. Lyfe-Aid is assisting them with building a new school. Lyfe-Aid, for the last six years has sent a team each fall to the D.R. to run three weeks of medical clinic for the people around the Sousa area. For further information on Lyfe-Aid please contact the founders; Pastor Bob Allaby or his wife, Sandra at (h) 633-1387 or (c) 6530975. 3050

FUNDY PADDLERS NEWS The Fundy Paddlers Club is pleased to announce that four of its members have received the Paddle Canada Intro Style Instructor Certification upon successful completion of an intensive four day course in Saint John, with Charles Burchill of Manitoba as the Instructor Trainer. Karen Vanderwolf, Nancy Clifford, Helen Demont and Charles Graves are the latest certified Style canoeing instructors in Atlantic Canada. “Style” is a form of precision paddling. It typically involves a single (solo) paddler in the middle of the canoe which is often heeled to one side. Style paddling emphasizes an understanding of body, paddle (strokes) and canoe (hull design) that lends itself to accurate control of the watercraft through various maneuvers such as pivots, circles, sideslips and reverse paddling. Although optional, routines can be implemented by a single paddler or by several canoes paddled together. The course was capped by an

impressive performance Monday evening in Rockwood Park in which all four instructor-candidates executed a routine that they created and choreographed over the weekend. The theme for the routine centred around the wedding of two Fundy Paddlers Club members on Saturday. This

performance met with loud approval by an enthusiastic onshore audience. Burchill also conducted a special Advanced Style clinic to qualified local paddlers on Tuesday, August 5. This instructor course is part of a multi-year training program by Fundy Paddlers Club that helps develop paddling expertise as well as qualified instructors who can teach others. This program is possible as a result of support from the NB Department of Healthy and Inclusive Communities as well as Lily Lake Pavilion.

POINT OF VIEW A SOUTHPAW CELEBRATION Even now, the mere sight of a three ring binder or HB pencil brings it all back. The frustration of trying to write something – anything, without smudging it all over my hand and the page that lies beneath it. Add pen, pencil or marker and everything I touched became a stamp pad! If you can relate, you're probably a leftie! And, if you've ever been called southpaw by a well m eaning friend or relative, take pride in the fact that you're a member of a pretty exclusive club only about 10 per cent of the world's population is left handed! On Wednesday, August 13, lefties of the world got to celebrate small victories over scissors, can openers, computer mices, desks and smudges during International LeftHanders Day. Yes, there's an actual day to celebrate the fact that you're

by diane mcmillan

different than most! Before I share some fun facts about lefties in general, here are a few about me. I use my left hand for most tasks, but always operate the computer mouse with my right. I never had problems using scissors, can openers or vegetable peelers, even though I use my left hand for all three. Lefthandedness is said to run in families, but I'm the only leftie in mine. I cannot play baseball, because I catch AND throw with the same hand – my left! Studies claim that lefties tend to be more creative. I'm not sure if that's true, but I've always been drawn to creative things like writing and photography. I can remember working at a Nova Scotia weekly where all four of the editorial staff were lefthanded. What do Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Darwin, Bill Gates, Leonardo Da Vinci, and four of the last seven US presidents have in common? You guessed it. They were/are lefthanded. Four of the five original designers of the

MacIntosh computer were left handed and left handedness runs in the British royal family. The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and Prince William are all left handed. You'll also recognize these famous names. Robert DeNiro, Jerry Seinfeld, Lady Gaga, Morgan Freeman, Tom Cruise, Tim Allen, Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Jay Leno, Celine Dion, Drew Carey, David Letterman, Jim Carrey, Angelina Jolie, and Julia Roberts. In honor of International Left Handers Day, find a leftie and give them one big, giant, lefthanded fist bump. 0032

4 Ways to Take Better Notes and Reduce Hand Cramps Copying notes word for word can be a major hand cramp and is the least effective way to get what’s important

into your brain. Make your life easier by following these five tips to taking better notes and studying from them more effectively.

Stop Copying Notes and Slides Word For Word Taking good notes is absolutely important but copying page after page of notes can quickly add up to a lot of

used paper and hand cramps. Not only does copious amounts of note taking add up to more spent paper, but it is also more to study through when exams inevitably come around at the end of the year. Finding your balance between a full sheet of notes and bullet points is a matter of personal preference, but once you find your sweet spot you’ll see a reduction in study time and an increase in retention because you’re only trying to remember what’s actually important.

Use Your Margins to Make Notes on Your Notes We write on the blue lines and start our sentences on the pink lines. This leaves a small one inch margin that is absolutely perfect for taking notes on notes. Think of them as a sort of meta-notes. If a teacher tells you something is important put a star next to the line in the margin. If the discussion centers around a certain point, make a note of that in the margin. Make good use of margins to remind you what is the most important notes on the page.

Don’t Get Bogged Down by Walls of Text Too often note taking amounts to large, daunting walls of scribbled text. If the information is best presented as a time line then make it look like a time line. If you need a remember that it was a decisive naval battle that turned the war, draw a boat in the margins. Notes aren’t about copying info, they’re about remembering it so find whatever works for you and do that. Whether it’s different coloured pens, relevant pictures and diagrams, flowcharts, whatever helps

you retain the information.

Use Highlighters Sparingly, or Not At All If you’ve taken good notes, highlighters are a waste of time and effort. Don’t bother with them. They look nice, and a bright page with a few dashes of coloured highlighter has become synonymous with the ‘good student’ but really they’re just a colorful pain in the butt. Highlighters are great to make relevant information stand out from the crowd but if you’ve already eliminated all the bystander words you won’t need to highlight anything.

When crossing the street to get on or off the bus: • Walk at least 10 big steps in front of the bus, along the side of the road and look at the driver for a signal before crossing • Look all ways before crossing the road • Walk, never run, to where your parent or caregiver is waiting for you on the side of the road where the bus stops

LISTEN IN by Jeﬀ Liberty SAINT JOHN BLOGGER This past week I had the pleasure of interviewing Saint John Blogger (along with many other cool things) Barb Crawford. Her Blog just turned 5 years old! Congratulations Barb! I highly recommend you check it out since Barb is in the forefront of all that is inspiring about the city. Go too http://barbbarbbarb.com Jeff - Why did your first start a blog? What keeps it fresh for you 5 years later? Barb - (a) - 5 years ago I was looking for a creative outlet. I was watching a lot of runway fashion shows and looking for bargains here and there - I needed someone to share it with. Slowly, my blog transformed from sharing runway looks I loved and sales at online stores to features, reviews and interviews with local businesses, bands, artists and event highlights. (b) - My blog is 100% love driven. I am

always scrawling ideas I have in my purple notebook. I'm always pitching stories to artists and store owners. I'm always thinking about events I want to attend and putting them into action to share them with the community. It's fresh because there's always something new to do and someone new to meet. Jeff - What are some of the exciting events you have been involved with in the city? Barb - In March 2011, Dan Culberson and I started #SaintJohnCut – a collaborative photo shoot with stores, photographers, models, hairstylists and makeup artists. In 2011 I started a giveaway series called #30in30 - 30 giveaways in 30 days to local businesses. This was such a community game-changer for me. Jeff - Why is this city so special? Barb - What a question. Saint John is home to me. I was born and raised here. The community culture of Saint John is like none other. Jeff - How do you see our local arts &

Intimate Outdoor Living

culture scene today? Where do you see it going in the future? Barb - (a) - Arts & Culture in Saint John is in the middle of a revival. Many of my evenings and late nights are spent in bars listening to local and touring bands. The shows lately have been packed. This is good for our locals’ acts as well as those touring through. With over a dozen galleries in Uptown Saint John as well as artists’ studios and museums - the arts community is strong and present. (b) - My sincere hope is that progress is made on full implementation of the Arts & Culture policy that the City adopted in 2005.Arts and Culture are important to improving quality of life, building healthy and happy communities.

Are your driving habits costing you money?

You’ve bought your dream car, or in some cases, the only SUV that isn’t a gas guzzler and ﬁts the hockey bags - and now you want to make it last as long as possible in top condition. It’s funny to me that when you get your ears pierced there is after-care instructions, when you travel there is travelling instructions, but when you pull a new vehicle away from the lot you are left alone to ﬁgure it out for yourself. This is the second biggest investment of most of our lives, and we assume that we have all of the information we need. Who knew that there is ‘after care’ instructions for your car? Read all about it below, and keep depreciation at bay!

• Use only light to medium acceleration, keeping the engine rpms below 3,000 for the ﬁrst few hours of driving. This allows you and your new car to ‘ease into eachother’.

• During the break-in period, typically the ﬁrst 1,600 km, keep your speed under 88 kph as often as possible (or to the speed recommended by your car’s manufacturer – yes they have one!)

• Warming the engine by letting it idle in the driveway is not a smart idea. The engine doesn’t operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot deposits on cylinder walls, oil contamination, and ultimately damaged components – all kinds of nasty!

• Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials when you ﬁrst purchase a vehicle – let it get used to the roads ﬁrst! • Do not allow your car to idle for long periods — this is good advice for the life of your car, but especially during break-in. The oil pressure generated by doing so may not be sending oil to every part of your engine.

• Do not race your car’s engine during start-up. This is a quick way to add years of wear to your engine, especially if it’s cold outside – and in this neck of the woods, those days chilly days are many! • Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive – don’t race off to work! The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the ﬁrst ten to twenty minutes of operation.

• Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to push the car even while it’s stopped. • When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in an extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds. Doing so can damage the powersteering pump.

Did you know that filling up while the tanker is at the gas station is a new car no-no? If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs. Lastly – lighten your keyload! Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition. The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure. To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded. Next month we will talk about exterior/interior tips and tricks that will save you money now, and when you decide it’s time to trade-in!

FRESH WITH FOOD by dave wolpin INSIDE OUT In explaining nutrition to people, I often comment that your skin is a reflection of your innards. In fact, delving deep into our bodies is exactly what you need to do to understand the state of your skin. When I explain to people the degree to which diets can play in our body’s ability to stay disease and illness free, I often run into the genetic and environmental factors that can only be evaluated on an individual basis. I seem to often get the argument that everything is killing us, so what is the point. To me it is silly that I even need to argue against this, since just a simple consideration of probability should be enough to encourage a person to do what they can to minimize risk. However, with sugar as one of the most addictive substances on Earth (challenge me and try quitting for a month) and since it is hidden in nearly everything processed, even minimally, it is no surprise that people are

willing to die to eat it. Inherently I know that our body’s interaction with food is much more intimate and profound than our contact with our outside environment. However, I cannot ever seem to find a way to quantify it. My goal is not to discredit the importance of clean air, but rather to stress the degree to which food can trump genetics and environment for the average person, especially since the food we eat is easier to control than the air we breathe. Remembering that I have no science background and that my observations are purely for discussion, Dr. Michael Gregor spelled it out for me perfectly: “no more than 2% of all human cancer is attributable to purely genetic factors.” We have the power to use diet to change many of our genes several times within our lifetime. So what about our environment? What parts of our body have intimate contact with nature's elements? I cannot seem to think of anything other than our

skin and our lungs. According to Gregor, our skin covers about 22 square feet and if you flatten out our lungs, they will cover about 1000 square feet. To put things in perspective, our intestine, unravelled, unfolded and flattened cover approximately 3000 square feet. This means “what we eat is our primary interface with the outside world, with our external environment.” If only these ideas and discussions were part of our mainstream social fabric and better, our education. It seems the greatest hazard to our health is the preference of the authorities to publish information that the public is likely to accept, rather than just telling us what science says and letting us make up our own minds. Canada’s Food Guide is a perfect example of this social flounder. 0039 Dave Wolpin Kredl’s Corner Market 10 Year Warranty

ASK THE CHEF by Colin Sifton SHEETS, STRANDS OR SHAPES! Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week we had a big discussion on pasta. They all seem to taste the same but come in so many different shapes and sizes, Why? Most people think that pasta was invented in Italy but in fact pasta started in China over 4000 years ago. It did not look or taste like the pasta we have today. This pasta did start in Italy around 1154. The difference was Italian pasta is made from wheat, where the Chinese pasta was made with millet. Italian pasta was made with durum wheat mixed with water but eventually the addition of eggs gave a better result. Pasta comes in over 600 shapes and sizes. The main reason for these different shapes and sizes would depend on how heavy and thick the sauce you were serving was. The lighter

the sauce, the smaller and lighter the pasta. Because there are so many different shapes and sizes, we can break pasta down to three different categories; sheets, strands and tubes or shapes. Sheets would be a lasagna noodle; used to make casserole style pasta dishes, they allow the cook to make different layers to their dish. You would also use a sheet pasta to make ravioli or tortellini. Strands would be a spaghetti and this comes in many different sizes from angel hair which is very thin to thick tagliatelle. Shapes and tubes would be macaroni or rotelli and even rotini. Shapes and tubes grab ahold of your sauce, allow the sauce to go into the different crevasses, where strands soak in the sauce but hold very little sauce. Shapes was also a way different families could differentiate their dish from another family’s dish. A family would pass down their shape and recipe from generation to generation and other families would not use this shape out of respect. Great feuds began

just over the shapes and taste of pasta. Today we see more coloured pastas. Not to say they were not used before, they are just more available today than 1000 years ago. Tricolour rotini is one we often see in grocery stores. This is a combination of yellow, green and red pasta. Yellow is the traditional, green has the addition of spinach juice and red is the addition of tomato puree. If you can find it fresh, you can really tell the difference but with the dry, I find it all tastes pretty much the same. Like anything else we find in stores, fresh pasta is always better than dried especially if you want the flavoured or stuffed pastas. The problem is that fresh is more expensive than dried unless you want to make it yours elf. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

V.O.C. REUNION UPDATE

The 50th Reunion of the Class of 1964 from Saint John Vocational School was held on August 1 & 2. It was a complete success, starting with 80 graduates attending the Meet & Greet on Friday night at HVHS/SJVS. It was like going back in time, meeting old friends and renewing friendships after 50 years. There were pictures of the graduates posted on the gymnasium walls from each Department and memorabilia displayed on tables. Refreshments were served and many pictures taken - a great start to our Reunion. Saturday morning began with a River Boat Cruise on the St. John and Kennebecasis Rivers, originating from the Saint John Marina, with 60 in attendance. The fog cleared as we departed the Marina and the 3-hour

cruise was enjoyed by all. Our grand finale was dinner at the KBM Community Centre, catered by Child’s Food, with over 80 enjoying a delicious roast beef dinner. Tilman Martin was our Master of Ceremonies for the evening who recalled wonderful memories of our school days at Voc. We were pleased to have many of our teachers in attendance reminiscing with the graduates during the Meet & Greet and Dinner. Most of our teachers are in their 80’s. A thank you was extended to the Teachers, HVHS/SJVS Alumni and HVHS Staff for the help needed to make our 50th a success. Committee Submission: Brenda Graham, Sandra Smith, Linda Graham & Clarisse Fournier. 3045

FCNB FORTUNE COOKIE TIP The best way to build good money habits in children is to start early and have open and honest conversations and many New Brunswickers recognize how important it is to start these conversations with their children. However, according to public outreach done by the Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick (FCNB) many parents aren’t sure where to start and feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available. In order to get the conversation started, FCNB launched a program asking New Brunswickers to share their Smart Money tips. One of the tips, from Debbie in Fredericton was: “Take care of your belongings, because they usually cost a lot to replace.” As children mature, their belongings tend to become more expensive. It is never too early to talk about where money comes from – not grown on trees, but earned. There are many ways that children can make money, whether

parents decide to provide an allowance or they help a neighbour with chores or something as ambitious as starting their own business. By linking how people make money to the costs of

items that children want, parents can help children recognize the time and effort that goes into being able to buy the new toy or gadget. And if the

children have to save some of their hard earned money, they may have an even greater respect for the value of their belongings! While it can be overwhelming to know where to start, FCNB’s Make It Count program is designed to provide ideas to help adults be money mentors to children. There is a workbook for parents with practical ideas, games and exercises to help incorporate money management lessons into their day to day routine. There is also a workbook for teachers who are looking to bring money management concepts via games and activities into their classrooms. Incorporating money management into your child’s daily life can go a long way toward building responsible financial habits in adulthood. For more free, online and print resources to help you talk to children about money visit fcnb.ca. You can browse and share your tips by visiting fortune.fcnb.ca. 3052

he Labour Day holiday has since the 1880’s, been an annual celebration of working men and women; who back in those days worked even longer than most of us do today. The holiday was created in response to a parade in support of the strike by the Toronto Typographical Union. What were they striking for? A reduction to

a fifty-eight hour work week! An almost unheard of number for a standard work week nowadays. We now have a standard forty hour work week for many professions and Labour Day’s history and roots have largely been lost to the annals of time.

Most people now think of Labour Day as: a) the unofficial end of summer, b) the last day we can wear white and still be fashionable, c) the day before the kids go back to school. Very few of us celebrate it for what it is and lump it in with the rest of the civic holidays that we take for

Thanks to the efforts of those in the 1880’s, most of now enjoy work weeks that consist of 38 hours on average instead of the 58 that was the norm back then.

granted. So, how do you plan to use your unofficial last day of summer? A trip with the family to the beach, weather permitting of course, the tail end of a Canadian Summer can be a fickle thing. Maybe a simple BBQ in the backyard with friends and family, or just a relaxing day around the house without any real labour to speak of. Unlike the other holidays, the pomp and circumstance of Labour Day has been lost over the years. There are no more large parades or picnics, it has changed from a day of celebration into a day of rest, free to be spent how you choose. There are no obligatory family gatherings or

long time-honored traditions passed down for long years. Just a day off and for children the last day of a misspent summer where time seemed endless and things to do seemed few. No matter how you choose to

celebrate, whether with family and friends in the backyard, by sleeping in, or a quick trip to a local park or beach, there are only a few holidays a year that don’t come with dinner plans and commitments. Happy Labour Day!

MUSINGS by debbie hickey ON REACHING AGE 60 A few weeks ago I celebrated one of those milestone birthdays. You know the kind. They usually end in a zero, or occasionally a five. In this case, I turned 60. No matter how you cut it, it is pretty obvious I have more years behind than I have left ahead of me. For forty of those sixty years I have worked. Most of my friends of similar vintage are retired, and I sometimes wonder with what do they fill their days. And I wonder if I am ready to be one of them, the retirees. If I were still a government employee I would be offered the opportunity for pre-retirement planning to work through the many aspects of this question. As a small business owner I do not have those kinds of resources at my fingertips, but what I do have is considerably more flexibility than most to create a lifestyle that fits me. So, I have recently stepped back a little from the running of Ossekeag. I am blessed to have a fantastic team who have the energy and enthusiasm and ideas that have been inspiring us in these last months. I love where we are going and am enjoying it immensely, and I am big enough to recognize that the leadership of Alex and Amanda is exactly what Ossekeag needs in 2014 and going forward. I am still working to find the “perfect” solution for myself, and I am not entirely sure what it is going to look like at this point, but it will definitely involve less time in the office. Like most small business owners, time off has been a luxury during the last 14 years and I am pleased to have largely

worked my way out a job. Oh, I won’t be far. Mike and I won’t be spending half the year in southern climes or touring the world on our yacht. At the moment I have a number of projects that have been left unfinished for several years, while I take some time to do my own future (not retirement) planning. Meanwhile this “semi-retirement”

seems to be working out well. “No wise man ever wished to be younger.” ~ Jonathan Swift. 0002 Debbie Hickey President, Ossekeag Publishing
