COMMENTS OF A DISTRACTED MIND PREGNANCY, THY NAME IS NOT GRACE

On Our Cover It’s time for tulips!
I will be the first to admit that I have never been particularly graceful. I participated in very few sports as a child: I seemed to have two left feet and no idea what to do with my hands. I did try figure skating and gymnastics, but never progressed very far with either. I can dance... if by dance you mean move to the beat of the music. My skill set includes stumbling and tripping over my own feet and amassing new bruises without having any knowledge of how I may have injured myself. Then, I reached the second trimester of my pregnancy and suddenly discovered the true meaning of the word “clumsy”. Now in week 30, I have pretty much given up my independence. Gardening requires assistance to get up off the ground and I have pretty much given up sitting in low chairs or on the floor. It's just too dangerous for those around me. I have slammed my belly and the odd, random limb in doors and against furniture. I continuously lose my balance while standing still and have almost taken out other people as I stumble about trying to regain my footing. Thank goodness Kevin is so good natured (and skilled at balancing awkward loads) since on more than one occasion I have almost knocked him over trying to regain my balance after slipping on the kitchen floor or stumbling into the wall. On one memorable occasion I tripped exiting a building, landing on my knees on concrete steps. I suddenly felt like a five year old again as I made my way back inside only to discover both knees were scraped raw, and one required first aid. I find it ironic that my first pregnancy scar will not be from a stretch mark but a
scraped knee. When I first discovered I was expecting, all sorts of thoughts flew through my head: would I be a good mom? How would I handle the lack of sleep? Just how bad would the morning sickness get? The practicalities of dealing with an expanding belly and shifting center of gravity never occurred to me. After all, when you hear pregnancy horror stories, they inevitably revolve around the birthing process, crazy food cravings and all day morning sickness. My sister talked a little about learning to compensate for her big belly after her first son was born, but those comments mostly focused on how she hadn't realized that she adjusted her stance at the kitchen counter until she found she was standing further away than necessary. Now, as I go through my first pregnancy I am so thankful that I can tell her the story of scraped knees and know that she will have an equally insane pregnancy story to share. I'm finding that this type of story is shared more often between mothers and expectant mothers rather than in general company because, honestly, who else can possibly understand the hilarity of falling over a crack in the floor..... while standing still? 0001

SELF ESTEEM LIFE. CONSEQUENCE. ACTION! Mark Twain once wrote, “If you have to eat frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first”. The happiest people accept themselves, their flaws, mistakes and all. They recognize that they are perfect in their imperfections. They take responsibility for every part of their life (the good, the bad and the ugly). Life has no reset button and the first rule of life is that actions have consequences and each of us are responsible for our own actions. The consequences of today are determined by the past. If you want to change your future, alter your decisions today. Sounds simple enough, so why must it be so difficult? All of our actions have consequences. This relationship is as dependable as the ripples created by throwing a pebble into a lake. Consequences can be either good or bad. Problems arise when you do not think of or recognize the consequence of our actions. Not being aware of the consequences of
With Two Locations to Serve You
your behaviour, may lead to two things. When the consequences are negative, you run the risk of repeating the same mistake. When you are pleased with the consequences, you may not be able to duplicate the behaviour that gave you the desired results. In either case, you are left frustrated. For example, how far could you get driving a car without understanding the consequences of various controls? Without knowing how to operate the steering wheel, gas pedal, and brakes, I don’t imagine you would get very far. Life works the same way. Many of the consequences you face are predictable. However, there may be some you did not anticipate. They are part of your unending education. Unexpected consequences can provide you with new insights. By analyzing exactly what happened and why, invaluable knowledge can be gained. Not every decision you make will be perfect. Your objective is to take the

most appropriate action based on the information you have available. If the actual consequences are not what you wanted, choose to do differently next time. Don’t waste any time lamenting about what you should have done. Ignoring or denying the link between your action and the corresponding consequences will often make things worse. You won’t be able to take control of your life unless you see yourself as being responsible for the outcomes you are experiencing. Be proactive. Identify the cause. Ask yourself, “What do I have to do to fix this?” Then, eat a frog or two to rectify the situation. Action, not complaining, brings the best result. 0027

TENDING TO MY PATCH SAVE SPACE BY CREATING A VERTICAL GARDEN How? Consider growing a vertical garden. A vertical garden is easy to create. Creating a vertical garden may be the perfect solution for you if you have limited gardening space! You can also create one using shelves, hanging baskets, or trellises. With a little planning and imagination, gardens can be grown anywhere, regardless of space. The first step is to determine what the conditions are like in the area you wish to place the vertical garden, such as on the balcony or a deck. The amount of sunlight will be the greatest factor in determining which plants will thrive in your urban environment. For instance, if you live in an area surrounded by other buildings, a balcony or patio may be shaded most of the time; therefore, you should choose your plants accordingly. Leafy vegetables like lettuce and greens do well with limited sunlight, making good choices for shady areas. These
containers could be elevated on shelving to add height to the patio or balcony. For example, many vegetable varieties can quickly and easily be trained to grow "up" instead of "out", taking one-tenth of the space. When planning a traditional backyard garden vertical gardening is an easy way to save space in your garden layout! Training plants to grow vertically provides many benefits including: Save space you can grow in a confined space and create privacy areas and hide unsightly looking areas; Easier to Deadhead & Harvest - will be easier to reach; Better Air Circulation around Plants - provides ideal growing conditions for healthy plants; Keeps Plants off the Ground - prevents mold, soil-borne disease, crawling insects or pests from reaching leaves or fruit. Another thing that you need to consider when planning your vertical garden is the support system and what you will be growing. The trick is in making the vertical gardening support system very strong. Remember it is quite surprising how much a plant can weigh when it reaches maturity.
After you have the structure, you simply require the crops. If the plant is a tall growing or vine type of plant, it can also be grown in a vertical gardening system. Another option for growing some tomatoes and strawberries is an “Upside Down Planter”. They perform very well in our zone and yield very well. Vertical gardening is not limited to particular varieties. Be creative and find something that works for you and your unique situation. Growing a vertical garden is the perfect way for urban gardeners and others to still enjoy their unique creations without taking up their already limited space. 0034

MONUMENTS
As far back as the Egyptian pyramids man has utilized natural stone as the material of choice for their everlasting memorials. Granite, the hardest material available, is volcanic rock that has formed over the ages as it sustained tremendous pressure and heat. As a memorial is a permanent symbol for remembrance of a dearly departed, it is usually a purchase you will make only once. Therefore, every effort is made to pass on pertinent information we believe you will need to make the choice of monument that is perfect for you. We are a dealer for Nelson Monuments who is proud to proclaim itself as a Canadian leader in the creation of fine granite monuments and has become an industry innovator with over 100 years of professional experience. From war memorials to a Celtic cross on Moncton’s waterfront to donor walls, Nelson Monuments uses high quality granite to capture history in stone and encase memories for generations to come. They offer an extensive array of design options to provide you with the highest level and quality at the most competitive prices. That is the reason that more and more families are choosing their memorial from Nelson Monuments.

WELL RESTED NIP SLEEP APNEA IN THE BUD Do you feel more tired in the morning than when you went to bed? Are you having problems remembering things? Feeling cranky and depressed? These are common issues that people with sleep apnea have. Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder which causes you to stop breathing at night, constantly waking your brain and body out of its much needed rest. It is very common as well; up to 20% of adults may have some form of sleep apnea. Don’t ignore these five signs: Overweight: You don’t need to be overweight to have sleep apnea, but it increases your risk. The added tissue in your throat puts pressure on airway when you go to sleep, making it more likely to collapse. A Large Neck Circumference: Men with 17 inches or greater neck size and women with a 16 inches or greater neck size are much more likely to have sleep apnea. The extra weight of a larger neck pushes on the airway while you sleep, whether it is fat
tissue or muscle. There are many muscular football players with sleep apnea. Snoring: The sound of snoring is caused by the tissue in your throat vibrating together causing the air to be partly blocked off. There may be times though the night where you are barely getting any air at all. You should be checked for sleep apnea if you wake yourself snoring or others complain of the noises you make at night. Smoking and Alcohol Use: Alcohol can relax the muscles in the throat, making it easier for the tissue to get floppy and collapse. Those who smoke tobacco are also at a higher risk for sleep apnea - possibly because of the irritation and inflammation of the upper airway from the smoke. Limiting your alcohol intake and getting help to stop smoking may also help with your sleep apnea. A Small Airway: A naturally small airway is also another cause of sleep apnea. Collapsing tissue causes your throat to
close off at night. If you start out with a more narrow passage than normal, your throat will close off more easily. People with an overbite, small chin or nasal congestion are more likely to have sleep apnea. If you have any of these five signs of sleep apnea, don’t wait to see your doctor. This a serious medical condition that requires treatment. Sleep apnea can contribute to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and car accidents.

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG NEW PERSPECTIVE Going to change tack this summer, going to get to eye level, not your eye level but to critters’ eye level. I was totally blown away a month ago when my wife surprised me with a kayak. She claims that I always guess or have an idea of the gift, but not this time! Sometimes you can get into a photographic rut, especially during the winter and enthusiasm wanes, but not this year. My fingers are sore as I type on this keyboard doing research on kayaks, kayaks and photography. She sits in the garage all set up now, polished and rarin’ to go. What I am imagining is getting up to the smell of coffee before the the sun has risen, savoring the flavour, aroma and moment as I go over a mental check list. Things like a Cotton Carrier for my camera, a sports camera mount on the back to show where we have been and where we are going, a waterproof camera bag that will float should we have a mishap. I believe that this will allow me to get great images and
different images from a different point of view. However, more importantly it will allow me to connect to my surroundings. As we drive by in our automobiles we miss the beauty of the Kennebecasis, Hammond or Saint John rivers; now I will smelling the water, feeling the weather and sun, which could be gift enough but to add images from places only few have seen or experienced will be the best. I see in my mind’s eye images of loons and their chicks, and yes I will use a telephoto lens so as not to make them nervous. Spring migration is on and wood ducks are here, herons have returned as have hawks and falcons. Soon the wading birds and songbirds will make it a photographer's dream. I have glued sound deadening material on touch points around the kayak so as not to spook the wildlife. I may not be loud but the colours of the kayak might well be - mango, a combination of red yellow and orange, are birds colour blind?
I have a spot to lock in my paddle and grab my monopod mounted camera. I will be using a 70-400mm Sony lens and will likely have to shoot at higher ISO in order to keep my shutter speeds as the kayak will be moving about. Also it will be donned with a polarizing filter to take care of the nasty reflections on the water and help with the colour, especially the skies or autumn leaves. Shoot - Print - Share.

HAMPTON CURLING CLUB The little club that is tucked away at 48 Cemetery Road in Hampton will celebrate its 127th season this year. Curling began in 1890 on nearby Spooner’s Pond. The club has three ice sheets, a lounge, a bar and a large dining room and kitchen. This year the club is partnering with the Hampton Lions who use the dining room every Tuesday evening for their popular Bingo nights. Hampton Curling Club is unusual because it is run entirely by volunteers! Many of its members volunteer as icemakers, bartenders, coaches and the many other jobs that keep the club operating. We are particularly lucky to have a skilled ice-making team that has provided us with excellent ice surfaces! Hampton’s Junior and Little Rock programs are thriving with 52 young curlers participating. Hampton produced the Under 12 Provincial Champion team, an Under 9 Bronze medal team and several teams who won or came runners-up in their divisions. 4522

KICK OFF
to Outdoor Living There is little that brings home the joy of living in southern New Brunswick more than the first spring tulips and daffodils. It’s hard to believe after (several) early (and late) spring snow showers (storms) but the warm weather appears to have arrived. Our April showers may be a few weeks late, but the May flowers are not concerned and gardens are beginning to burst forth with life. With the smell of spring flowers in the air, the weather has (finally) started that definitive shift towards summer breezes and warm nights; it’s time to start dusting off that patio furniture and firing up the Bar-B-Q. Whether you are hosting a small group of family and friends, or simply enjoying an ice-cream cone or glass of wine on the deck, there is something special
about those first few moments when you can sit in the sun and simply enjoy the world around you. I feel incredibly lucky to live in a place where I can either watch the cars drive by, or turn around and watch the deer and horses frolic in the pasture behind the house. In those moments, I can (almost) forgive the deer for eating my flowers and stealing my bird seed. Often, I feel that when people mention “Outdoor Living” they are referring to “active living” as well. Be it sports, hiking or water activities the idea of movement is often implied. I am not one for strenuous activity, or getting sweaty and dirty in general, although I do enjoy grubbing in my garden or playing soccer with my nephews, which often leads
to both. I personally believe that it is possible to enjoy the bountiful beauty of the world while still relaxing. Camping (which for me involves a cabin with a proper bed and working bathroom) and bonfires, long drives, meandering walks through trails at Fundy Park or sitting on the beach at St. Martin’s comprise my summer to-do list most years. The natural and human worlds have evolved together to create a mosaic of stunning beauty created by the ingenuity of man and the raw power of the planet Earth. Whether taking a drive to admire fine architecture or a walk to commune with the understated beauty of our mountains, forests and streams, spring is the perfect time to start living out of doors again.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS About a year ago, Oxfam reported results of a study that revealed that the world’s richest 1% now had as much wealth as the rest of the world combined. You may read that and your mind turns to Bill Gates or Warren Buffett, maybe even Donald Trump. But before you start blaming the super-rich for hoarding the world’s wealth, you should also know that, if you earn more than $50,000 annually, you are in the top one percent of the world’s income earners. There is no question that most North Americans are incredibly affluent compared to the rest of the world. But it’s also true that the unequal distribution of wealth occurs on every continent. In fact, according to a report presented by Oxfam at this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF), African countries feature prominently on the list of the 20 most unequal economies in the world, with Swaziland being the most unequal. That’s right, in addition to having the dubious distinction of having the highest incidence of AIDS and the lowest life expectancy of any country, Swaziland is now recognized as the world leader in
terms of unequal distribution of wealth. How can this be in a country as poor as Swaziland? Well, consider that the king of Swaziland is reported to be worth over $250 million while over 60% of Swazis live on less than $1.25 per day. While the concentration of wealth with the king is part of the problem in Swaziland, Oxfam said at the recent WEF that one of the most important ways to decrease wealth inequality is to prioritise the empowerment of women and young people. While gender inequality and discrimination against women continues to be the source of numerous problems in Swaziland, the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is helping by providing education for an equal number of girls and boys in Piggs Peak. At the Women’s Dinner on November 4, women in Hampton will have the opportunity to hear two young women from Piggs Peak talk about life in Swaziland and the work we are doing there. Be sure to mark the date! Another date to remember is Sunday, May 28 at 7:30pm, “Northern Voice” will be performing at the Hampton

DOLLARS & SENSE WHAT DOES YOUR RETIREMENT LOOK LIKE? When you think about retirement, what do you think about? I think we all have the dream that typically consists of being mortgage free, taking plenty of vacations and worrying less. But will it? No matter your age, you can always have your retirement goals in mind. Now, I am not saying that retiring should be the only thing on your mind, you do have to live a little, but, being aware of how a financial decision you make today can affect you later is important. Many times retirement dreams do not become a reality because people have not sufficiently prepared and have too many financial obligations. Start early is the phrase we hear, and that is true. The earlier you start investing or paying into a pension, the longer you potentially have for contribution (and hopefully return on investment). This also applies to debt
and other assets. The sooner you are debt free or have obtained an asset, the more potential you have to reach your retirement goals. Most of the advice you hear is in regards to investing. So let’s focus a bit on credit. Owing on credit reduces your income, if you bring home $1000 and you have a $200 debt payment, you have essentially brought home $800. We know this, and in our working life we may use bonuses, overtime or potential raises to pay it off. What we do not think of is that if we continue with those debts, we could find ourselves into retirement, on a fixed income, trying to keep up. If your goal is to retire debt free, having a high mortgage or continuous car loans may hinder your goals. If your goal is to travel, having to rely on credit to do so, means that you may have to miss out on the next trip because you are still paying for the
previous. So when you are deciding on your next home purchase or a payment installment plan, think about what your long term goals are, you may make a different decision. If are you struggling on your retirement goals or are already in retirement not-for-profit credit counselling can help you with a budget and goal setting. 0005
