The demands and hectic scheduling of parenthood means couples often don't have enough time to care for their own relationship. However, research suggests great value for couples and the family unit when parents understand the benefits of couple time and date nights. Benefit #1: Spending time away from the kids sends the message to your children that your marriage is important and deserving of alone time. Children can learn a great deal about nourishing caring relationships when it is positively role modelled in front of them.

The Hampton Herald
We thought of you today, yesterday and the days before that too; but that is nothing new. Our memories and your pictures are a keepsake from which we will never part. We think of you in silence and often speak your name. God has you in His arms. We have you in our Heart. Love your wife, Doris & (Daughter & Son-in-Law) Lois & Mike Gillespie
Benefit #2: Parents who feel satisfied and supported by their spouses because they have had time away to grow their relationship are more likely grow and support their relationship with their children. Quality date nights can strengthen a couple’s sense of commitment to one another and their family. Benefit #3: Making the effort to spend time alone together lets your spouse know that you love being with him/her just a much without the kids. Children do not have to be the glue that holds the family together. Date night allows you to get out of the house and to carve out time where you do not discuss your kids or your chores and instead focus on each other. Benefit #4: Regularly scheduled couple time teaches children a great deal about balance and wellbeing. Going out as a couple with friends teaches your children that you value yourself, self-care and social activities. A family environment balanced with socialization, time for self, work and fun is a healthy family and one that is better equipped to tackle life stressors. Benefit #5: Couple time, away from the house and home responsibilities is a great way to relieve stress and unwind after a tough week. Participating in a night or day of enjoyable activities can provide parents with the time they need to rejuvenate allowing for the creativity and patience required to parent wholeheartedly. Benefit #6: Date night provides your kiddos with the time to socialize with others like the babysitter or grandparents. Our children can become dependent on us and our presence. By giving them a break from you they can learn important socialization and interpersonal skills. Your kids can also learn to appreciate the time you spend with them the rest of the week. This week schedule in a little couple time and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

LIVE WELL MAKING A DIFFERENCE As helping professionals, we all want to make a difference in the lives of those we serve. Of course, we do not change people… they change themselves, or not! As therapists, we are merely instruments whose function is to help facilitate a process; we cannot fix or save others. A Zen saying that I believe applies to the practice of counselling says: “When the student is ready, the teacher appears!” While skill on the part of the therapist is important, it is even more important that the individual seeking counselling be willing to do what it takes to make the changes they desire. Generally, three questions asked upon first meeting an individual or a couple can help determine readiness: “Do you think this situation can be changed?” “Do you want to change it?” and finally, “What are you willing to do?” The most important question, of course, is “What are you willing to do about the problem?” When barriers to change are presented,
it is not likely change will occur. Such recommendations might include that an individual self-refer for an alcohol assessment, attend a family violence program, put a plan of self-care in place, and so on. Earnie Larsen wrote: “If nothing changes, nothing changes!” If an individual makes positive change and experiences improvement in their situation, the success belongs to the individual, and not to the therapist! If the therapist took the credit, then he or she would also be responsible for all those who do not experience positive change. Ideally, as a therapist I would like to think that all my clients benefit from counselling, but the truth of the matter is that some do not, some start out with a head of steam then drift away, some see change as too much work, while for others I am the planter of the seeds of change, change that may occur long after counselling has concluded. Over the years, I have met many individuals who have thanked me for something I said or a direction I provided; often, however, I
do not even remember the individual or their situation, which is a good thing, especially with regards to confidentiality. When individuals do not like what they hear or verbally badmouth the therapist publicly for whatever reason or perceived injustice, confidentiality prevents the therapist from defending him or herself, their reputation or that of their agency. This is especially true with social media, particularly Facebook. In that regard, social media can be either a curse or a blessing for the therapist. One can only hope that a few negative comments do not impede others for reaching out for professional help when experiencing life difficulties. 0008

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE PARENTS TO KIDS: SAVE, YES - BUT REMEMBER TO LIVE TOO Parents want their kids to grow up in the best possible way. So we pass on our experience and knowledge and help them develop the skills that will – we hope – enable them to achieve their goals and get the most enjoyment and satisfaction on their voyage through life. Ours is a complex world and we want our kids to make sure they are equipped to deal with every complexity – including developing strong money management skills. We want our kids to be happy so we love them and nurture them and give them… “stuff ” – the most incredible toys, the trendiest clothes, the newest cell phones, the hottest… whatever. Yes, it’s important to teach your kids the value of good money habits, of saving and planning for their future. And yes, there is both emotional and real value in giving your kids “stuff ” that makes them happy. But there is also tremendous value in experiences that create memories that will last a lifetime. Here’s how one
father explained it: “I bought my kids $100 tickets to their first concert as a Christmas gift and they were thrilled. But on the morning of the concert one of my kids experienced “buyer’s remorse”. He said, “If I don’t go to the concert can I have a different gift?” I gently advised him against trading his ticket for a toy, saying, “Son, you’ll forget the toy in a few years but you’ll always remember your first concert.’” As parents, we should not only give our kids the gift of our knowledge and the gift of “stuff ”, we should also give them the gift of memories and encourage them to appreciate that life needs to be lived! As Bob Dylan, the latest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature and a pop icon through many years has written: Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them. Now, it’s entirely possible your kids will have no idea who Bob Dylan is, but nevertheless, his words ring true for any generation.
So teach your kids well, support and nurture them, give them “stuff ” that brings them (and you) joy – but be sure to teach them to live, too. Memories can be more important than money - but it certainly helps to have the financial resources that allow your kids to enjoy those memories unencumbered by financial stress and strain. You can help make their memories; your professional advisor can help make your financial future and theirs memorably secure. 0036

UNFILTERED 10 GREAT QUALITY RED WINES FOR LESS THAN $25! With the cold weather upon us, nothing warms us up on a cold winter’s night quite like a glass of good quality red wine (and with all of the health benefits associated with red wine it’s practically a sin to not indulge). Sipping a beautiful glass of Cabernet in front of the warm fireplace is a great way to wait out the snow storm. One of the questions I am most often asked is how much a person should reasonably expect to spend on a nice bottle of wine. Although price alone is not always an indicator of quality the $20 to $25 price range is where the best value for dollar can be found. That being said, not all of the wines in this price range are a great value. The only way to know for sure is to buy it and try it. . So, what makes it great?’ you might ask. The first consideration is that the wine should be a good example of the grape variety (or varieties) it was
made from. A Pinot Noir should be light and fragrant with light tannins, whereas a Cabernet Sauvignon should be bold and full-bodied. Secondly, a good wine will always be more complex and layered than a wine that is mass-produced. Complexity in a wine is always an indicator of a quality. Another characteristic that sets a great wine apart from a not-so-great wine is the finish. The flavours should linger in your mouth long after you have swallowed the wine. Having tasted most of the wines currently available at ANBL, I can tell you first hand that there are some bottles that are really fantastic for the $$$. Some hidden gems, if you will. I have listed 10 of them below for your enjoyment. Many of these wines are so good they could probably be sold at higher prices: Greg Norman Limestone Coast Shiraz from Australia @ 23.49; Plot 6 Don David Malbec from Argentina @ 20.49;
McManis Cabernet Sauvignon from US @ 20.49; Columbia Crest Merlot from US @ 21.49; Matua Pinot Noir from New Zealand @ 20.99; Torres Ibericos from Spain @ 19.49; Wolftrap red blend from South Africa @ 16.29; Bon Pas Plan de Dieu from France @ 18.49; Novas Carmenere-Cabernet @ 17.49; Mark West Pinot Noir from US @ 19.29. 0042

KINGSTON LSD NEWS In the last Herald edition we began to talk about snow removal on the Peninsula. It is true that road crews have had much difficulty staying on top of the icy road conditions so far this winter, says Brian Matthews. The weather has been the primary contributor. In the same breath, Matthews says that it is important for the residents to know that the snow clearing level of service is based on road classifications. Those are criteria that must be followed by all road crews in the Province! Classification of roads is mostly based on traffic volume. Let’s see if I can make sense of what information we were provided on this. On the Peninsula, there are three road classifications, A - B and C. The vast majority are C roads which represents 135 km or over 62% of the roadway grid on the peninsula. The Provincial criteria for the winter maintenance of C roads states “Plowing to commence after 8cm and is to have snowpack condition. Sand will be applied on hills, curves and intersections”. The next level are B rated roads. Those
represent 56 km or 26% of the grid. The criteria states “Plowing to begin after 2 to 8cm and roads will have a bare centre strip within 48 hours of the end of the storm”. Finally, we have the A road and you are lucky if you happen to reside on it. Only 24 km of road 845 have that classification, from the Williams Road to Kingston Corner on each side of the Peninsula (Clifton Royal and the Reach). The criteria for an A road is that “plowing will take place at 2cm and the driving lanes will be bare within 24 hours of the end of storm”. So there you have it, the criteria are the same for road crews in areas of Campbellton, Tracadie, Woodstock or Kingston. The level of service we receive is not based on where the DTI employees reside, whether on or off the Peninsula. It is largely based on the road classification but also, the limitations placed on crews with equipment, resources, span of territory and government budget cuts. DTI Road crews are not unlike any other service providers who are constantly
limited in their capacity to deliver and most often it comes down to money. There is no doubt that we could use round the clock snow removal at peak times however, unless you reside in a municipality, you will not see that level of service for rural roads. If you have concerns about road conditions, you certainly can discuss those with DTI but really, Fredericton is where your voice needs to be heard and that is through our MLA.

ATTENTION TEACHERS This is the 20th year of the Marigold Project. Last year, as we have done every year, we increased the number of sites, schools, teachers and students participating. We have surpassed our own Guinness World Record we set three years ago, two years in a row. We are now at 63 schools at 65 sites and 7,000 children participating. The Marigold Project has won awards or has been copied in Germany, UK, US, Japan and across Canada. The tourists and locals love the great work you do. We are empowering our children and we are improving our community by spending time with our children . We use all forms of intelligence and learning styles, cross curriculum, lateral thinking experiences and all children participate, so it is very inclusive. Citizens get to see and experience our work right up to the end of October. This makes our children very proud and creative which leads to confidence . Can you please email right away regarding your participation. Schools start growing in March and there are only two months left of winter. The Project has now planted over 4 million marigolds and not one mural or marigold vandalized. If you have any questions on how you use the various learning styles, lateral thinking or cross curriculum call me at 333-4612 or email me at anytime (bogden@nb.sympatico.ca). One thing that has gone over well is to bring gardeners and seniors into your class to help the children grow and plant your marigolds. Most schools plant at the first of June . Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our children. Sincerely, Barry Ogden, marigolds.ca. 4408

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS
PCHS Hampton students 2011
Fundukuwela students “Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Every year, around this time, the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership committee makes our financial commitment for the upcoming year. The school year starts in January and we need to decide how many high school students we will support through payment of school fees. We also need to decide how much money we will direct to our other projects, like the grandmother group.
The BEST and WARMEST Valentine’s gifts at
And every year we make, what I call, our leap of faith. This year, we were faced with a bigger challenge than ever. School fees per student have increased and, more significantly, the Canadian dollar has weakened against the Swazi currency by a considerable amount. Overall, it is going to cost us about 20 percent more in 2017 just to pay for the same number of students that we paid for in 2016. Furthermore, this year, like every year, we start out with far less money than we
will need and no solid sources on which we can depend to receive it. You should know that our committee is composed of some very business-like individuals and everyone understands the concepts of budgets and bills to pay. But, for a group of business-people, we make perhaps one of the most un-businesslike decisions someone can make: we decide to commit to supporting students and projects to an extent far beyond what a “budget” would dictate. This year we will pay school fees for 150 students at Peak Central and Fundukuwela high schools – 75 girls and 75 boys. This is the most students ever! (Last year it was 134 students). It is a true act of faith. Every year since our inception we have increased the number of students from the previous year. And every year, God rewards that faith by providing for our needs, often in the most unexpected ways. This year, in December, a large unexpected donation arrived from the Sisters of Charity in Saint John. To be clear, our committee takes a very business-like approach to managing the funds we receive from our donors. I believe the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is one of only a very few charities where one-hundred percent of donations go to our programs in Piggs Peak! But we always have to start up the stairs without quite knowing how we will reach the top. Your Starfish sponsorship or other donation will help us reach our goal. If you are interested in supporting the work we do, or just want some information, contact me, Mark Bettle, at markbettle1@ gmail.com or 832-0003. Also visit us on Facebook. 0010

SUSSEX FISH & GAME ASSOC MEETING
The Sussex Fish & Game Association would like to invite you to our monthly meeting which will be held on Thursday, February 9 at the Golden Jubilee Hall (50 Perry Street, Sussex), starting at 7:30pm. This month's guest speakers are Tim Robinson and Edmund Redfield of the Fort Folly Habitat Recovery program. Fort Folly is a member of the National Recovery Team for the endangered inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic (iBoF) salmon. They have been actively involved in many conservation and recovery efforts benefiting iBoF salmon on multiple southeastern New Brunswick rivers, namely the Big Salmon River, Point Wolfe River and Upper Salmon Rivers since the early 2000’s. They will give a presentation about what they’ve learned over the years and how they will be applying certain recovery approaches to the Petitcodiac. 4417
WAR AMPS KEY TAGS SAVE $$ Most of us don’t realize how valuable our car keys are until we lose them. In recent
years, remote starters and built-in unlock systems have sharply driven up the cost and complexity of the humble car key, with some owners paying hundreds of dollars in replacement fees. War Amps key tags, going out to New Brunswick residents this month, can help prevent this hit to the wallet and the inconvenience of arranging for new keys. Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. If you lose your keys, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag or pl8ace them in any mailbox, and The War Amps will return them to you by courier, free of charge. Key tags also can protect keys for your house, mailbox, or bike. Many people also attach USB sticks and sentimental items to their key ring and are happy to get those items back too. The Key Tag Service was launched after the Second World War so that returning war amputee veterans could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Association. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys since its inception. The War Amps receives no government

grants. Donations to the Key Tag Service fund the Association’s many programs for war amputees, and all Canadian amputees, including children. Those who do not receive their key tags in the mail can order them at: waramps. ca or call toll-free 1-800-250-3030. 4418

MORE THAN FITNESS WHAT IS HOT FOR 2017? The fitness industry is an ever changing, ever evolving industry and every January, canfitpro takes a look at what will be the top trends taking place for the year ahead. It is always exciting to see what is happening across Canada within the industry and how things here in New Brunswick line up with what is happening in other regions. This year, I was not surprised to see “HIIT” topping the list as number one. HighIntensity Interval Training or “HIIT” as it has become widely known has become increasingly popular as it provides a great workout in a relatively short time frame making it manageable for anyone despite busy schedules and hectic lifestyles. This style of training addresses the time crunch that many of us are under while combining cardiovascular and strength drills in intense short bursts for a fully balanced workout. Some of the most popular forms of HIIT are Tabata and other circuit style workouts or classes. Coming in just after HIIT is the
increasingly popular functional fitness which brings every day movement patterns and exercises in to a program that strengthens the body in such a way as to make day to day activities easier. These programs incorporate balance, endurance and multi muscle group exercises in to the routine to get the most of every workout. In third place this year is older adult training which continues to move higher up the list every year based on the ever growing demand from older adults who are looking at adopting healthier habits and making lifestyles changes to maintain and optimize their health going in to their later years. Express workouts, circuit training and bootcamps continue to remain steady on the list due in large part again to the time crunch that most of us are experiencing in our lives and the desire to fit in a quick and effective workout that will maximize our time and focus on functionality that translates in to every day living. Nutrition and healthy eating programs
HALL
continue to remain on the list as well as we become more and more aware of the need to balance exercise and healthy eating for the best approach to a healthy lifestyle. These are just a few of the trends that you will see emerging in 2017. If you are thinking of changing up your routine, make sure you take the time to research the program you are about to embark on. If you are choosing to sign up for a program, ensure that the trainer or instructor leading the program is certified and qualified to teach it. Safety should always be the number one priority of any program.

ASK MARY DO WIDOWS BECOME INVISIBLE? Being a widow changes how we think about ourselves and how the world looks at us. It’s been years for me but sometimes I still feel like I’m half here and that if I’m not careful I will in time disappear. Some of the widows I talk to say that people look at them different now that they are no longer part of a couple. It makes them feel as though they are invisible and that what they have to say is discounted, as if they have no value. There is this sense that we could fall off the face of the earth and no one would notice for at least a week. In the early days you may find that people avoid you - making you feel less relevant. They may be afraid that they will someday be in your shoes or perhaps they quite simply don’t know what to say or do. Widows can feel invisible - they miss their husbands, the day to day comfort and security of having
someone to share their life with. Most of all we miss the person we were when we were with them. We felt part of something, but now we are no longer anyone’s “special someone”. We must not let the world define us: Be sociable, you may be down but you are not out; Do some decorating – take a room, redo it and enjoy; Take control of your health, finances and social life; Make friends with other “widows” as they really listen; Take time for others - when we connect we are visible; Pay attention to just this one day; Today do something for yourself - what will it be? The first step is sometimes as simple as getting out of the house - don’t let the world define you to the point that you become invisible. You matter so go out there and travel this journey with your head high and it won’t hurt to have a little bit of that “I don’t give a… attitude”. Get support from others who have suffered a loss and will understand
how you feel. If you are a widow there is a “Community Forum” on the “The Sisterhood of Widows” website called sisterhoodofwidows.com/community. This area is a safe place to talk to other widows and share your own tips and advice. It helps to face the world with those that understand your journey. Take care of yourself. Please email me your questions: mary@ 0016 thesisterhoodofwidows.com.
