COMMENTS OF A DISTRACTED MIND CELEBRATING THE SEASON When asked what the holidays mean to me, the first thought that comes to mind is spending time with friends and family. Christmas Eve has been my favourite part of the Season from the time I was old enough to look past the glitz and glimmer of gaily wrapped packages to the meaning behind the holiday. Growing up, the night before Christmas found the family gathered round the first fire of the year. Mom would light the oil lamps she inherited from her grandmother and the living room would become a haven of comfort, warmed by the fire, bathed in the rosy glow of lanterns and the softly twinkly lights of the Christmas tree. We would kick off the festivities by ordering pizza with (my personal favourite) After Eight mints for dessert. Inevitably Dad or, later, Allan, would joke that we shouldn’t open the mints as it wasn’t “after eight” yet, to which my sister or I would reply “It’s after 8:00am”. We would sit around the table, fashioning origami from the After 8 wrappers and enjoying each other’s company before heading to the living room to partake in the time-honoured tradition of trying to find “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” on T.V. After all, it just wasn’t Christmas without Chevy Chase’s over-the-top, but oh-so-relatable, and hilarious antics. We eventually bought the movie because we were tired of all the commercials. Besides, some of the best scenes were cut to make room for said commercials. My siblings and I will still randomly quote the movie
at any given time and are guaranteed an appropriate quote in response. We would indulge in a smorgasbord of Christmas cookies, Red Delicious Apples, meat, cheese and cracker trays, Candy Canes, and chicken bones all washed down with the hot chocolate or pop. I still think of Christmas when I taste Ginger Ale - it’s really the only time we ever had it in the house. As we grew older, the activities and treats remained the same, but the family grew as we welcomed friends, girlfriends, boyfriends and later spouses and grandchildren to our home. Kevin and I have continued the tradition of sharing the night with our favourite people, whether joining the Crealock’s for the Christmas Eve service or spending the evening with my Mom and Jim. Now, as our family has been blessed with the addition of our daughter, I hope to be able to create the same memories of warmth, family and contentment for our miracle baby. 0001

WELL RESTED KEEPING IT CLEAN One of the most important factors in making sure your CPAP treatment is working well is regular cleaning and replacement of your CPAP equipment. Fortunately, taking proper care of your equipment is easy, and takes very little time. Mask - The most important part of the system to clean is the mask. This comes in contact with your face every night and so picks up and can spread the most bacteria. Every day, clean your mask cushion and frame with a mild soap solutions and warm water, rinsing well. You can also use wipes specifically made for CPAP masks, and give it a thorough cleaning once a week. Your straps can be cleaned by hand once a week, rinsed well and hung to dry. Hose - Your hose can be a breeding ground for bacteria and spores since it often holds moisture and bacteria from your breath. Clean it at least weekly with warm soapy water,
rinsing very well, and hanging to dry. Make sure the electrical end of heated hoses are completely dry before plugging back into your machine. Humidifier Water Chamber - Your water chamber provides you with the humidity that your airway needs, but make sure it isn’t giving you a sinus or chest infection too! Use distilled water in it. Regular water creates a crusty mineral build up on the bottom, a great place for bacteria to grow. Rinse it out every three - four days and wash once a week in warm soapy water. Some can even be put in the dishwasher. Check with your sleep therapist. Filters - Your filters need to be cleaned and replaced regularly. The inside of your machine can become coated with tiny sticky particles, causing machine noise and malfunction. Check with your sleep therapist to find out the schedule for your particular machine. Replacement - Your CPAP mask and
hose go through a lot of wear and tear. At about six months, bacteria growth cannot be stopped with regular cleaning. Those sneaky little creatures can hide in cracks and scratches in your mask and hose, causing breathing infections. Your insurance company covers replacement mask and equipment, usually at least twice a year. Remember, your health depends on it! 0038

SELF ESTEEM BECOME YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND The longest relationship we will ever have will be with our self, yet we constantly neglect ourselves. As a child, most of us had a best friend. We played tag, we visited each other's' houses, we may have even been in the same class. We treated our best friend with love, respect and kindness. Aw, yes, the golden rule....treat others as you want them to treat you. The problem with that though, is that we rarely learn how we are supposed to treat ourselves. To become your own best friend means that you trust your own judgment. You rely, support and comfort yourself. Who are you? We often turn to others for answers, however, it is easier to like and respect yourself when you truly understand yourself. Your attitude toward yourself reflects on others and vice versa. You become an even better best friend to another by liking yourself a bit more. Use the good relationships you have with others as a role model for the relationship
you should have with yourself. Becoming your own best friend means that you enjoy your own company too. Minimize distractions. Embrace change. Challenge yourself. Get used to your own company and appreciate it. Enjoy your alone time. We have conditioned ourselves to enjoy the company of others but it is possible to enjoy our own as well. Take yourself on a date. Go to dinner or a movie. Have a spa day or go to the park. Going by yourself will make you more aware. You may find yourself paying more attention than if someone else was with you. You could possibly enjoy it more. Best friends tend to shower us with attention and affection. Each of us have the power to do that for ourselves. Compliment yourself. This will help you to focus on the positive aspects of your day rather than the negative. Would you ever call your best friend names? Or put them down? If you wouldn't talk to a friend that way, do
not talk to yourself that way either. Take times throughout your day to simply be you. Do things that you enjoy. Treat yourself to random acts of kindness. How do you treat your best friend? Most likely, you accept them (flaws and all), honor their needs, show them compassion, bestow kindness and the occasional gift. That is indeed what a best friend does. Become your own best friend and you will automatically become a better version of yourself. 0027

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG DIGGING DEEP November, the worst month of the year for me. Bleak, cold, dark, and colourless. Acclimatizing to the new temperatures, warming your car, cranking up the heat in your home and don’t get me started on all the additional layers we need to stay warm. All this tends to kill any motivation to make images. So we have to dig deep. I have often said I enjoy shooting with my granddaughter as she sees with unbiased eyes and not encumbered by conventions, where I will shoot at eye level she will drop onto her back, She has taught me to shoot at different levels. I will often work a scene by shooting from high, eye level and very often close to the ground. I listened to a friend speak once and he was saying that he was going out for walk when he saw the way the light played on his leather jacket, he never did get out for that walk, but he did have fun shooting close ups of not only his jacket but the light play in glass.
Getting close means we will begin to see things differently. Seeing textures, patterns and details. Many of these images will become abstract images and perhaps spawn new ideas. I was once housebound by the weather but I wanted to shoot. I looked about my office and settled on a pack of sticky notes. I discovered that they joined accordion like and when laid on their side they make a wonder star-like pattern. It wasn’t long before I had a light source underneath and created some very unique images. As a photographer we realize that it is about light, so get out when the light is good. One good thing about November is the getting up for sunrise is not difficult and you can catch a sunset on the way home. The other day my son and I were shooting Split Rock, Duck Cove near St. Martins and it was fantastic the golden light on those red rocks was magical. We left all pumped up bragging of the thousands of dollars we will earn when

we sell the rights to our work, when we noticed the dark textures in a silver pond. It was like a spine from an ancient creature popping up through the surface. If you don't have a car to get sunrise and sunsets, you don’t have leather coats, glass bobbles or sticky note pads, then try time exposures. One of my favorite ways to shoot is with a neutral density filter a.k.a sunglasses for you lens. 0032 Edited for space, see full article & photos ossekeag.ca.

The Kingston LSD Advisory Committee was elected by the Community in December 2014. It’s five members have been holding monthly meetings, often with our local MLA as well as government officials. We were dedicated in attempting to tackle local issues revolving around snow removal, road safety, policing, fire and ambulance services. We knew from the start that we had no local governance authority. However, we felt we could have some success stories after a 4 year term if we adopted a professional and consultative attitude while networking with decision makers, but to no avail. Several letters between our Committee Chair and the Transport Minister with suggestions to make the intersection of 845/850 at the Kingston Corner safer only led to no, can’t be done. A number of meetings with DTI about ferry operations and repeated pleas to consider conducting the weekly maintenance during off hours led to the same answer, no. We worked on items within the local LSD budgets and provided the LSD Manager (LSM) with
advice, but again no. Actually, for the past two years, we have been kept out of the LSD budgeting process all together by the new LSM. Although the Local Governance Act states that the Minister, through the LSM, may seek advice and assistance from the LSD Advisory Committees, we were told that the act does not state “must” and therefore they won’t. Regrettably, we struggle to understand the purpose and value of spending our time and efforts on the LSD committee. We can’t help but wonder if the process is meant to discourage LSD volunteers in order to push us towards a rural community concept! Steve Gourdeau for the Kingston Advisory Committee. 4789

As families gather, thoughts of loved ones who have died will often bring both smiles and tears. Though they may have gone they are very much alive in our hearts, especially during the holidays. With this in mind, we will host a service of remembrance, as we pause to reflect on the season and those who have shared seasons past. Our Tree Lighting Service will be held on Tuesday, November 28 at 7:00pm in the chapel here at Reid’s Funeral Home. All those who are remembering a loved one this holiday season are invited to join us. Come share in a time of fellowship and in the beauty of our very special Christmas Tree dedicated to the memory of those we have lost. For those who wish to participate, a $5 donation in support of the Hampton Food Basket will add a light to our tree in memory of your loved one and place their name on the Honour Roll which will be read at the service, please call 832-5541 by November 27.

Happiness is Homemade!
Call for prices and to order all your Christmas baking!
This is it! Once again we have reached that time of year where the trees make their way indoors and the lights find the eaves of your house. Kitchens fill with the smell of baked goods from apple pies to scotch cookies; children start a wish list and seasonal tunes hit the radio. The Christmas season has begun! As per usual with every season, both big-box and trending shops mark down prices and slap the big old sale sign on the window, ready to rope-in consumers and capitalize on the giftgiving season. Of course there is the majority of us who wait until the last minute to grab a gift for that distant cousin-in-law who grunts when you speak to him and laughs when you don’t; but for the bigger-thanwe-think percentage of Christmaskeeners out there, this is just the start they need!

Of course there is the small problem of knowing what to get your family members for Christmas, it is the ultimate first world dilemma; after all, gift cards only go so far and you can’t exactly resort to socks for the five year old in your life. You can try to keep up with what is hip and cool in the toy boxes of today but to be honest, you’d be far better off tackling the problem of world peace. The simple answer to the gift-giving problem is to call or text the child in question and ask what they want; scary concept? Definitely. It’s not like we all have hundreds of dollars laying around for the latest and g re ate st
technological feats of the world, not to mention the magnitude of video game requests. Then comes the rest of the family tree and this is no small task. The biggest problem, when it comes to the mature portion of the family, is the problem with double gifts. Just take a moment and picture this: you wake up, make your way to the tree where all the presents lay in wait. You pick up your gifts and begin to unwrap them only to find that they are all red and green Christmas towels from the 99-cent store…great. You can see the predicament, can’t you? Now the solution to this is obvious isn’t it? Coordinate for gifts with the other members of the family! For those you out there who have tried this method and done so successfully, my deepest congratulations and please do pass on how you managed

this! But if, like the abundance of families who have tried and failed, this is not to be recommended. The endless stream of phone calls saying where is this and did you pick up that? Why on earth would you want to put yourself in that position? So if you cannot gift electronics, don’t keep up with the trends of children toys, should not coordinate gifts and, due to the unique way that the world has been shaped, gift cards are out of the question; what can you do? The answer is so simple and yet extremely forgotten, almost as obscure as that video of your high school principle falling in the parking lot; embrace Christmas for what it is, a time to spend with your family. When you envision the perfect Christmas, what do you see? I see my whole family, all 30 of us, crowded in my grandparents’ living room.

The fireplace on high and the heat nearly unbearable, especially with the amount of bodies in the room. Grandma and Grandpa surrounded by us kids, telling stories and asking about our hobbies. Then one of our family friends enters the house and bringing with her all the sweets that you could imagine; peanut butter balls, scotch cookies, sugar cookies and my personal favourite - ginger snaps! Everyone crowds around the table and shares stories while adding an abnormal amount of sugar to their systems: it is simply marvelous.
full of eggnog and laughter reverberating off the walls. Regardless if you celebrate the season for religious reasons, or just appreciate the day off, the concept of family remains at the core of this holiday.
After all isn’t that what this season is all about? Students get two weeks off school and most adults receive about a week between Christmas Eve and New Year’s. This is not provided to wander around a store picking out junk from shelves that nobody really needs nor wants, but for sitting around a table in a warm kitchen with mugs

Thank You
We would like to thank all the relatives and friends who attended Garnet’s Benefit on Sunday, November 12th. It was wonderful to see so many friends in one place, at the same time. Special thanks go out for all the donations, which will go a long way to help with Garnet’s care. Special thanks also go out to my Sister-in-Law Shirley Cox and “little” brother Bill, for all the work they did to get this underway. I cannot give enough praise to the wonderful band which our friend Art Boyd got together, it was better than any Nashville music. All the guys were super, Garnet wished he could have been up there playing and singing. He so misses his music. A special thanks to our friend, Herb Isbill, for his special song, that was so wonderful. Thanks to Mike and the boys for tending 50/50 and the canteen. Can’t forget my Barb either. We cannot thank everyone enough. Garnet & Lorraine. November 28th - December 11th, 2017

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS At the recent Women’s Dinner, Esther Dlamini spoke passionately and powerfully to the women in Hampton about life as a woman in Swaziland: “We are here to talk about women in general; women in Swaziland. Women who never get to rest. Women who, from the day they are born, they have to suffer. Why? Because it is said a woman’s place is in the kitchen and she’s only good for raising children.” “A man can have as many wives as he pleases and have as many kids as he wants and he doesn’t even have to look after them. It is the woman’s duty to make sure all the kids are fed, to make sure the man has food in front of him. The man can eat the best cuts of meat while his family starves to death. That’s the harsh reality in Swaziland at the moment.” Esther related how she was abandoned by her father when she was born and raised by her mother and grandmother. She said her father appeared only years later and “when I asked him to help pay for my final year in high school, his response was ‘what’s the point
of educating a girl. I have a son. My son is worth more than a girl.’” “This is the harsh reality we are facing… single mothers working day and night to provide a decent future for their children. But even everything we do is never enough.” “We have a saying in Swaziland – umtfwana wentfu sonke - a child is everybody’s child. That means my daughter or my son is not only mine but is all the community’s. With the Partnership with Hampton, Hampton has shown truly what it means to look after everyone… Hampton loves each and every broken child. We hope you will help as many young people out there as possible.” The Swazi saying sounds very much like one we are familiar with – “it takes a village to raise a child”. Through the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership, Hampton has become a “global village” and, with your help, we are helping to raise the children in Piggs Peak. By being a Starfish sponsor or otherwise making a donation, you are paying school fees that will allow a girl attend school and give her the
Esther Dlamini opportunity to change the current “harsh reality” described by Esther. When speaking of Swazi women, Esther said, “We are strong as a rock. We let nothing take us down. We let nothing break us.” With your support, Swazi girls may grow to be as confident and strong as she is. It gives us hope for the future of Swaziland.
