COMMENTS OF A DISTRACTED MIND MOTHERHOOD - THE FORGOTTEN YEARS After three years of hoping (and two devastating disappointments) Kevin and I are expecting our first bundle of joy this July. We are beyond excited and can hardly wait to meet our daughter! Despite the dreaded diaper duty and sleepless nights, Kevin and I have been waiting to become parents for so long that we are looking forward to every nitty gritty detail, including that first moment of “I have no idea what to do”. I never thought P.7 CROSSWORD I would see the day that I was happy p.9 In the garden not to be able to see my feet, or remove p.11 more than my own shoes, but I am so proud of my burgeoning belly that I don’t mind the fitness loss of independence at all. Right now, P.13 life balance we are enjoying bonding with my baby P.14 unfiltered bump and I often find myself staring off P.18 family matters into space, daydreaming. I’m sure this is true for most expectant mothers, as we P.21 GONE FISHING imagine all of the incredible things our P.24 LIVE WELL little one will one day do and say.

Now, as I bask Next Issue: May 16 in the pregnancy glow, although the idea th Deadline: May 9 is still daunting, I am starting to realize just how wonderful motherhood can be.

by mom as she supports that fight for independence. Despite this, with no expectation of acknowledgement, a mother delivers unwavering support, and the occasional reality check, to create a foundation upon which a strong, independent adult can stand. I was lucky to have an amazing relationship with my mom, even during my teen years. She was always available to talk and offer guidance and today I consider her to be one of my best friends. My mother-in-law is also a pillar of support and I feel so blessed to have these incredible women in my life. Not only did I learn many life skills from my mother, I also learned a sense of self-worth and value. She taught me independence and integrity, among so many other important lessons. It is these unspoken lessons that provide the most value as a child learns how to conduct herself from her parents’ example, a series of lessons that continue well into adulthood. It is so easy to become lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, losing track of that which is most important to us. As I prepare to become a mother myself, I hope to be able to bring the same wisdom, humour, patience and support to my daughter as I continue to receive from my mother every day. 0001

Hampton Mall, Hampton, NB
Congratulations to Deborah Jones of Bains Corner, who submitted this photo of water drops on her pool deck to the “Pic of the Month” contest for April. Deborah has won a Movie Pass (for two, including drinks & popcorn), compliments of Ossekeag Publishing. “First Blooms” is the theme for May. Karl’s tips: go to the dollar store and get yourself clear plastic pop up dome (little hot houses which stand about a foot tall), they are called "Mini Pop Greenhouse ($2). I like these for a couple of reasons, pop these over your plant and you can stop the wind - a big bonus when trying to shot plants outside. Secondly, you can choose your background by placing a piece of material at the rear of the enclosure. People have gone so far as to take a blurry image of grass and such and have that as their background. In regards
to shooting have fun and experiment. Try selective focus where you bury yourself among the flowers and while using a long lens, manual focus on a plant in the distance leaving creamy, blurry colour in your foreground and a sharp in focus plant to the rear, awesome. This is the time to bring out your macro focus gear. Remember - no people or pets please, digital copies only and photos must be horizontal (landscape) not vertical (portrait). Only photos relating to the current theme will be considered. Submissions are to be emailed, as attachments, to editorial@ossekeag.ca and must be received by the 25th of each month. Contest winner will be notified by email when selection is made and vouchers must be picked up within 30 days. Happy shooting!! 0037

Pallbearers were Mark Allaby, Brent Allaby, Darren Steeves, Angus Reed, Derek Grant and Emily Harris. Interment took place at Titus Hill Cemetery.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS
Dolly
Esther
Those of us on the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership committee who have visited Piggs Peak have seen the devastating impact of the AIDS pandemic on Swazis of all ages - from young children to elderly grandmothers. But we have also seen and heard the results of the good work we are doing - the smiles on the faces of the children who are able to attend school and the laughs of the gogos for whom laughter is a rarity. One of our goals is to share all this with the people of Hampton. I am excited to tell you that the Partnership will be hosting two visitors from Piggs Peak - Dolly and Esther who will talk with people in Hampton about their lives and experiences. The highlight of their trip will be as guest speakers at a Women’s Dinner on November 4! Dolly, aged 23, has a story that is representative of many young women in Swaziland. Raised in Piggs Peak with no mother or father, she was cared for by her grandparents. Her grandfather passed away while she was in high school, leaving only her grandmother to look after her and her younger sister. Her grandmother could not afford to pay for her schooling so the Partnership stepped in, paying school fees for both Dolly and her sister. With our support, Dolly was able to finish high school and is now helping to care for her grandmother and her little
sister, working part time while also putting herself through college. From a girl with few prospects for the future, Dolly now serves as a role model for girls facing circumstances similar to those she faced. Esther is a 20 year-old young woman who was raised by a single mother. Although she was not sponsored through our Starfish program, Esther has had the opportunity to meet and get to know most of the Hampton students; she also helps with the Grandmother-Gogo partnership. Esther says she has “seen Hampton change many people’s lives and give hope to a town with nothing. I have seen the struggles of being a woman in a country where a woman has no place in society.” Esther goes on to say “We are both very excited about coming to Canada. It will be our great pleasure to tell our stories and let people know how grateful we are about all the help Hampton has given to parents, children and grandparents. May the partnership never end but grow stronger.” The dinner on November 4 will give women in the area a chance to hear Dolly’s and Esther’s stories in person. Be sure to save the date!

IN THE GARDEN
DANDELIONS, EARLY PESTS AND PLANTING PLANNING Roses are red, Violets are blue, but they don’t get around like the dandelions do! ... Slim Acres. Spring really has been dragging its heels this year which has made for a very slow start for gardeners; despite the delay, dandelions are appearing in flower beds along with clumps of grass and other perennial weeds that, if left in place will be a major task to remove. Care still needs to be taken when rooting around in flower borders; this is where the gardener who noted where bulbs were planted wins out; a plan of the garden contents avoids accidents and the production of one is a good New Year’s garden goal as you begin to make visits to nurseries and garden centres. While attending to the weeding, the opportunity presents itself for some early pest control; the cutworms are already out and about, and as with slugs, a handy pair of scissors will dramatically curtail their activities, if the quick chop is not to your liking, a jar of salty water to pop them
into will end their fun, pronto. Earwig traps set out with mixtures that include oil, soap and a small piece of fruit will put paid to them, without introducing harmful chemicals into the environment. As soon as the warm sunny weather appears stores will be filled with wonderfully tempting trees, bushes and plants of all descriptions and as we await this longed for situation, an assessment of the garden area is vital. Far too many people are tempted to place trees and bushes too close to houses, only to realize, too late, that the wee slip of an Oak, Maple etc. is causing rot to roofs, damage to foundations and plumbing, or dense shade in front of a picture window. It is really important when buying any plant stock to check height and spread of the mature item. As well, if your plan includes a flower border, you will need open sunny spots where trees will not cause shade or be close enough to greedily grab the available water and nutrients; trees are mighty thirsty chaps
and can quickly deplete the goodies in the soil. There are many plants that benefit from partial shade and most good garden centres have colour coded pots; these enable quick identification of what kind of conditions are needed for the contents to lead a happy life; this is serious stuff, disregard the instructions and it is like expecting an African to enjoy life in the Arctic without a parka! Deer are still a problem; generally speaking, anything smelly or distasteful will deter them and CD’s strung on posts are effective deterrents. Blessings. 0039

MORE THAN FITNESS ACTIVE AGING We are all aging, one day at a time but how we decide to handle getting older is a very individual process. By remaining or becoming physically active in our later years, we can make the process of aging a much more pleasant experience. Regular exercise can help to stave off some of the signs of aging and also help to prevent, delay or manage disease. For those who may have been inactive and are looking to begin physical activity, there are some important things to consider. If you are considering a new fitness program, safety should always be the first consideration and it is very important to start slowly. This will allow you to ease into the routine with less chance of injury. If you have any preexisting conditions of have had recent surgeries, be sure to consult your physician before starting something
new. It is important at the on-set to choose low impact activities that are easy on the joints and then gradually increase the intensity as you are able. Some great low impact choices are swimming or aqua fitness, walking, cycling and low impact fitness classes. By finding activities that you find enjoyable, you will be more likely to stick with them. If you enjoy social activities, programs such as group fitness or walking clubs are great choices and ways to not only get in your physical activity but to avoid boredom, increase your likelihood to stick with it and maybe even meet some new friends! Once you find activities that you enjoy, make them part of your regular routine. Find ways to build them into your lifestyle so you will continue to reap the benefits for years to come.

LIFE BALANCE RELAX. REFRESH. REVIVE. In my recent posts, I have underlined the importance of relaxing more by highlighting two of my favourite ways of relaxing: meditation and yoga. Today, I am going to add to your relaxation toolbox by discussing two more of my go-to relaxation strategies that I use when I feel the need to relax in a pinch. Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Have you ever suddenly relaxed your facial muscles only to realize that you were frowning? This is a typical by-product of stress and can happen without us even noticing. As we hold a lot of our stress in our muscles, we become more prone to chronic muscle pain and other related issues. Progressive muscle relaxation can help you not only combat muscle pain, but it can also help you quickly relax. This technique, which can be done either in a sitting or lying position, requires you to tense and subsequently relax different muscle
groups – holding the tension for about 15 seconds and then releasing it. I find that starting at your feet and working your way up to your head is most effective. Anxietybc.com has great resources on how to fully benefit from progressive muscle relaxation. Deep Breathing: I briefly touched upon the importance of breathing in my post on meditation. Breathing, and in particular deep breathing, can be very effective as a method of relaxation, which is why I feel the need to elaborate upon it here. If you have ever sought professional help for anxiety, chances are they suggested deep breathing as a calming method. Deep breathing appears to be one of the most effective grounding strategies, and if done correctly, can be truly transformative. The Calm app, which I briefly discussed in my post on meditation, offers a guided deep breathing tool.
HALL
This incredibly helpful feature allows you to follow a visual to make sure that your breaths are deep, regulated and uniformed, all of which are key characteristics to successfully executing this method as a form of relaxation. There are so many different ways to relax. I have highlighted only a few of my favourite strategies. My goal is to communicate the importance of incorporating more relaxation in your life by choosing a method that works best for you. 0040

UNFILTERED NOTHING SAYS SPRING LIKE A GLASS OF ROSÉ! Spring is in the air, and with the warmer temperatures and longer days come backyard barbecues, picnics, and outdoor social gatherings. As the weather lightens up so do our food choices. Gone are the heavy winter suppers of slow-cooker stew and cabbage rolls, now it is time for lighter fare. Time to fire of the barby! Bring on the grilled salmon, Spring salads, and fresh fruit, and as our meals get lighter so should our wine choices. Nothing says Spring like a beautiful glass of good quality Rosé. Rosé has kind of gotten a bad rap over the last few decades because it is often mass-produced, cheaply made and sweetened to the level of Kool-Aid. Unfortunately, this is what comes to mind when many people think of Rosé. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. There are some great, delicious, quality Rosés available for purchase.
Rosé is typically made from red wine grape varieties that have been left in contact with the skins for only short period of time, thus allowing some colour to be drawn off, but not enough for the wine to be red. It is the best of both worlds. You have the light refreshing qualities associated with white wines, along with the more mouth-filling, full-bodied characteristics of red. The bonus is the beautiful color that can range from lighter salmon-like tones to bolder bright and dark pink hues. Good quality Rosés have pleasant aromas and flavours of candy, fresh fruit, roses, orange blossom, etc. A good quality Rosé will have a pleasant flavour with a long lingering finish. They can range in boldness levels from delicate to bold. They are great standalone wines this time of year, but if you are looking some food and wine suggestions, they pair best with light

Happy
Mother’s Day It’s Mother’s Day, the perfect time to celebrate that special woman in your life. Whether she is your birth mother, step-mother, grandmother, best friend, confidant, aunt or wife, Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to spoil her rotten. Fortunately, spoiling Mom is fairly easy to do as
she often just wants to spend time with the important people in her life. For many, this means dinner out on the town and flowers, but it can also be something as simple as breakfast (that she doesn’t have to make) and a visit with family. In this instance, it is the thought that counts.
This is especially true in growing families. My siblings and I all worked in various restaurants over the years; Mother’s Day is the single busiest day of the year in the restaurant business and this led to long shifts at various times throughout the day. As a result, we often were unable to

celebrate Mother’s Day as a family once we hit our teen years, and the day became more of a hodgepodge of activities designed to celebrate in and around our busy work schedules. Regardless, Dad always made sure to make the day as much about doing something nice for Mom as possible, whether it was shopping for new flowers or a big family meal.
I often think of Mother’s Day as this sort of idealistic day. In my mind, the sun is always shining, the air is warm with a comfortable breeze and the family is together. Growing up, before everyone was working
shift work and my siblings and I were too busy being teens to realize how important the day was, we would load up the family car and tour around the various garden centers while mom picked out her bedding plants. Dad would do his best to keep us kids occupied, giving Mom as much time as she wanted to browse, despite the fact the my siblings and I were more interested in the ice cream cones, we knew we would be receiving at the end of the trip, than any flower Mom was looking at. I can still remember the smell of marigolds and fresh turned earth, the first lick of mint chip fudge ice cream and the way the sun shone through the plastic coverings of the green houses. Whatever the family tradition, taking the time to acknowledge

FAMILY MATTERS BENEFITS OF PEDIATRIC MASSAGE Touch is a critical sense for the development of infants and children. The benefits of infant massage has been well documented in studies about touch, especially for its positive effects on child development, emotional regulation and parental bonding. Here are five benefits of massaging your infants and children: 1. Cognitive Benefits. Regular infant massage is reported to aid in the development of babies learning and concentration. Massage increases levels of serotonin, dopamine and neurohormones, which fosters alertness, enhances memory learning and assists in developing better focus, and attention. 2. Language Benefits. Parents are, of course, always encouraged to talk to their children and tell stories while they are massaging their kiddos. Affectionate words enhances the experience as well as helps to develop language skills. Singing, story-telling and music ensure that massage time is always positive and fun. 3. Social and Emotional Benefits. Babies
and children experience many different stresses of which parents are often unaware. Soothing massage techniques designed to aid in the reduction of stress and teach self-regulation can be used by parents to calm their children and get them to sleep. Like adults, babies are social creatures who learn from their interactions with others. When children are provided with healthy opportunities to interact with their parents through massage it deepens their ability to trust and communicate with others. 4. Physical Benefits. Research indicates that massage stimulates baby's’ circulatory, digestive and nervous systems as well as the brain. As infants grow, massage helps to get their bodies ready for sitting, standing and walking. Massage, right up through to elementary school, encourages motor co-ordination balance and strength. Tummy massage for infants is noted to aid with elimination in cases of constipation and relieve symptoms associated with colic, gas and

the digestive system in general. 5. Parental Benefits. The introduction of a new baby into the home is both wonderfully satisfying and stressful. Most families are not prepared for the major impact a new baby will have on their lives. Infant massage can help lessen the stress by providing families with tools to help bond with baby. Parents who massage report improved ability to read their children’s cues. Massage can be included as part of the family bedtime routine and develop into other household traditions. This week don’t hesitate to contact this writer or others trained in pediatric massage and enjoy your parenting journey. 0006

HHS SCHOLARSHIP & BURSARY PROGRAM In 1994, The Hampton High School Scholarship and Bursary Foundation was established with the goal of funding scholarships and bursaries that would help Hampton High students reach their educational goals. Information and applications for these bursaries and scholarships are available at the following website: hamptonhigh.ca and the guidance office at the school. The deadline for the applications this year is May 12. These awards are all thanks to the generosity of individuals and groups in our community. Here is an update from a previous recipient: Amanda Boudreau received The John Peters Humphrey Citizenship Award in 2011. Upon graduation she attended UNB Saint John in the Science/Arts program with an interest in becoming a pharmacist. After shadowing pharmacists, she realized that this was not the career path for her. Enrolling in International Development at UNB Fredericton, she was heavily involved in the World University Service of Canada, attending a leadership conference in Ottawa and then establishing this
program at UNB Fredericton. In 2013 Amanda applied and was accepted into the Nursing Program at UNB Saint John. It was in 2014 during her first clinical rotation in geriatric medicine that she developed a passion for nursing. Continuing her studies in the Nursing Program she had the opportunity to live in and work in Calgary for the summer of 2015. Amanda worked for a Paediatric Cardiologist as his research assistant. Her main project was the paediatric heart transplant study. As a result of the experience she gained she was selected to work on two systematic reviews under three Professors at UNB Saint John. In the summer of 2016 she returned to Calgary to work for Dr. Greenway again on a cardiac medication project. In August 2016 she travelled to Aarthus Denmark as one of three international students to complete a Master’s level Global Infectious Disease Course. In May 2017 Amanda will graduate from the nursing program and write her NCLEX exam to become a registered nurse.
We encourage all graduates to contact us at: hhsscholarshipfoundation@ gmail.com, to share what you have been up to since graduation and to update your contact information for the alumni database. Anyone wishing to donate to the award of their choosing may do so by sending cheques issued to Hampton High School Scholarship and Bursary Foundation, 34 Elizabeth Ave, Hampton NB E5N 5P7. All donations are tax deductible. 4497

GONE FISHING IT’S SPRING… BEEN FISHING YET? Before you get your gear and go running to pick up some worms, be sure to purchase your fishing license and understand what the retention rules are on any fish you keep. Conservation officers are always on the lookout for people breaking the rules, but at the same time they do want to encourage people to get out and enjoy the sport safely and responsibly. You don’t want to make any assumptions on the rules only to find out you are over your limit or keeping fish that are outside the legal size limitations! The main thing everyone should keep in mind is safety, we don’t want to hear of any stories about weekend warriors getting into trouble in the woods! Make sure someone knows where you are and when to expect you home. If you are going to be in boat, always wear a PFD and remember that water is cold this time of year so do not take any unnecessary chances. Wherever possible, fish with
a friend, not just for safety but so that you have someone to take your picture when you catch that trophy fish! Finally, the one thing that can ruin a great day in the woods with your child is the presence of garbage along a trail or pond. For those who care about our environment, consider bringing a small garbage bag or two with you on your trips to collect a bit of trash on your way back out. I would certainly appreciate it and I believe most other anglers and outdoor enthusiasts would as well. Cheers. 0043

Welcome to fishing season, have you gotten out to wet a line yet! My friends and I have been out for the majority of April and have experienced some great sturgeon fishing already! The Spring is a great time to get out and explore any of the lakes or rivers around our area and see what you can catch. Some fish can be quite active in the cold April waters and offer a great opportunity you may not get later in the year. In the Spring you have a lot of options for recreational fishing. I know many folk who take to their favourite streams to target trout, while I generally spend most of April fishing sturgeon out in my kayak. If you know where to go on some of the larger lakes, lake trout and landlocked salmon can be caught in before the water gets too warm. As well, here in just a week or two we should see the annual run of American Shad come up the Kennebecasis which are a ton of fun to fish for.

ASK MARY IS IT OKAY TO LET GO OF OLD FRIENDSHIPS? We need to speak frankly about something that is rarely discussed in polite company. I’m referring to when you gradually withdraw from a relationship - ignoring phone calls, unavailable for any social get together - until you are no longer part of their life. Is this terrible? Not really. Obviously, it’s wrong to ignore a person you really care about or someone that physically depends on you but in other situations, letting go may be just practical and necessary. Bad friendships are never easy so it’s wise to let them go early before someone gets hurt. When you are grieving you will find it hard to keep up with everyone, to consistently email or call those friends that have been drifting away. But it’s very unfair to not make any effort and yet still expect them to maintain an intimate connection with you. You can’t ignore a friend when it’s convenient and yet assume that they will drop everything
when you need help or a sympathetic ear. Friendships will die if serious conflicts aren’t addressed, so if your friendship is important to you, you have to have the courage to talk it out or be prepared to let the friendship go. If you are ready to let a friendship go then a few “white lies” of being busy, less calling and fewer and fewer likes to their Facebook page, can be a relatively easy and effective option to distance yourself from them. You could also be honest and clear with statements like “I know I’ve been distant lately, and I’m sorry. But right now I just don’t have the energy to connect as often as I think you want.” Let them know that it’s you and not them. Modifying your behavior or feelings to convince someone that you want to be with them is just too hard to maintain. Forcing yourself to connect with people that no longer fit into your life is never good – for you or for them. I always tell grieving people that they
need to get out and that their friends and family are their life line. But only if those people are positive, supportive and really care about what is going on in your life. If not I’m giving you permission to fade out of those relationships, without guilt, so that you can give your energy to those that do matter. Please email me your questions: mary@ thesisterhoodofwidows.com. 0016
