On Our Cover Honouring Veterans Feature Starts on Page 18
Well, fortunately, I don’t have to make a living predicting elections. While, I did have suspicions that the Conservatives were unlikely to obtain a majority, what happened in Atlantic Canada totally took me by surprise. Maybe even shock!! Now, it is true that I don’t get out and around a lot talking to people. But my conversations out in the woods with the Doe’s (Jane and friends) still didn’t clue me in. The Does, however, had some interesting views. They appear to support a political system somewhere between anarchy and communism. The only recognized political statement that I picked up in our conversation was from Harry S. Truman, “The Buck stops here”. Jane then paused and added, “but mostly during rutting season”. I was puzzled for just one moment and then realized that Jane had kind of a nasty grin on her face. One of the things that I also found out through many elections now, is that there is virtually no party that steadily holds to my views of financial management. There is no way, in my opinion, that we should be carrying the level of debt that we currently do, either federally or provincially. Hundreds of millions of dollars every year just to pay down our past excesses. Money that could go to bettering health care and education. I mean what did that many billions of dollars get spent on?? Apparently 24 Sussex Drive needs 10 million dollars in work or is in danger of falling down!!
OK Mikie, just calm down… breathe... in out, in out. One of the key changes that I am looking forward to is seeing proportional representation become a reality for future elections. While, only a promise at this time, it is indeed unfair that a party that only garners 40% of the vote can rule the country as a supreme dictator. Based on virtually all recent elections, no one party is likely to obtain a clear majority of the vote and will therefore be forced to form a formal or informal coalition with one or more other parties. This will almost certainly lead to a government that is at least more representative of all Canadians. In addition, I believe that coalitions and tight electoral races will give individual elected members more influence and loosen the current death grip that party leaders have over their caucus. Oops... Jane just dropped by, she wants to form a new political party. The number one plank in her platform was to ban all hunting!! I suggested that I would support her in a coalition, if the plank also included a ban on eating apple trees, raspberry plants and other plants to be named at a future date. Jane promised to discuss the matter with her members and get back to me. Maybe, we can work out and find better solutions!! 0001

Hampton Mall, Hampton, NB
Audiology was born out of the armed forces rehabilitation programs during and following World War II. Academics from disciplines such as deaf education, speech pathology, psychology, and other scientific backgrounds invented the early testing, auditory training, and amplification protocols needed to meet the needs of thousands of WWII veterans with hearing loss. These events, combined with the simultaneous development of the equipment necessary to evaluate hearing, formed the early seeds of the profession we know today as audiology. Near the end of World War II, the US army established three aural rehabilitation centres to provide medical and rehabilitative services to soldiers returning from the war. Raymond Carhart, a young captain in the Army Medical Corps developed a protocol for the fitting and evaluation of hearing aids that became a model for clinical practice for many years. Carhart returned to Northwestern University following World War II. There, he developed a graduate training program that produced many of the leaders of the audiology profession for the remainder of the century.

FAMILY MATTERS THE MAGIC OF MUSIC Something magical happens when we hear music. What is it about music that brings children together? Is it the beat? Is it the words? Is it a feeling? The answer is all of the above. As parents we can use music to encourage learning and development in a multitude of ways. 1. Movement - Moving to music, playing instruments, using props and acting out words gives children a chance to improve their gross and fine motor skills. Not to mention that movement songs are just plain fun. 2. Language - Music is a great way for children to improve their speech. Singing along to their favourite nursery rhyme or song can improve children’s confidence when it comes to speaking aloud. Through music, children learn how to pronounce words as well as understand what words mean and in what context. 3. Emotional Expression - Singing, dancing, playing instruments and musical
games stimulate children’s creativity and imagination because different types of music can provoke different emotions. Children learn about their emotions through exploring what music makes them feel happy or sad. 4. Sensory Development - Actively engaging with music promotes the development of the auditory system and of listening skills. Following the beat or notes of music helps train the auditory system to process information needed for everyday listening tasks, like following (multiple) directions. Using a wide variety of instruments provides kinesthetic sensory feedback too. 5. Academic - Music contributes to the development of children’s memory, early literacy and math skills. Learning lyrics will improve recall ability and reading. Adding music to words solidifies the information being learned and seals it. As parents we likely used music and mnemonics to learn important concepts. Following notes and beats requires concentration and attention. These skills
BEST
are needed in the classroom. Music is also a great way for children to develop their maths skills. After all, music is about ordering, rhythm and patterns. 6. Social and Cultural - Music unites. By interacting with other children our kiddos learn social skills and about cultural diversity. When children are each given instruments they learn that each instrument is important. Additionally, playing instruments and music from other countries can be a great history lesson. The benefits of music are varied from assisting with relaxation, stimulating emotion to a c a d e m i c enrichment. Whatever the benefit, use music this week to teach, have fun and enjoy the Anita Hofmann parenting Occupational Therapist journey. 0006

DATL STUDENTS SUPPORT PRO KIDS Last spring, the students of Dr. A. T. Leatherbarrow Primary School undertook a task of collecting Canadian Tire Money to donate to the PRO Kids organization. The class that collected the most money was rewarded with an extra period of physical education.

Thank you to the families, friends and neighbours who supported our students in this great cause! Together, we donated $170. PRO Kids assists families with registration costs associated with minor sports, arts and music programs. 3741
HHS GRAD CLASS NEWS
top dollar-raiser, Brooke Mombourquette
Hampton High’s Annual Scarefest took place on October 29. This event is the Grad Class’ most profitable fundraiser every year and we could not have made it as spooky or as fun without the help and dedication from several people and sponsors. Mr. Michael Wetmore spearheaded the organization and supervised the Spooktrail; Ms. Felice Kamminga and her Culinary Tech classes made the cookies and frosting; and many other staff members and students volunteered their time. The Grad Class Executive would also like to send a colossal thank you to Chapman’s for donating ice cream,
Hampton Elementary School for letting us borrow some equipment for the night, the volunteers from the Hampton Fire Department for supervising the Spooktrail, the many parents and students of the grad class for donating candy and chocolate for the event and the custodians of HHS who stayed late to help clean-up after the event was over – we couldn’t do it without you! Finally, events like Scarefest would not continue to exist without all the community members who come and participate year after year – so a tremendous thank you goes out to you! In other news, the Coffee House from October was postponed until Monday, November 9 at 7:00pm and will feature local musicians Andrew Conrad and Toby Stoddart. Grad fees will be collected from Tuesday, November 3 through to Thursday, November 5 - please make every effort to have your fee in on time. And finally, grad rings are on sale for a $60 down payment - see the Josten’s table at lunch on Thursday, November 5 and Friday, November 6. 0011

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS Swaziland is currently experiencing a severe drought. Some areas have not had rain since last December and there are reports that rivers started drying up in February. Cattle are dying, the ground is drying up and there is no irrigation for agriculture. As most readers know, one of the key projects of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is a garden that supports the gogos (grandmothers) in the poorest areas of Piggs Peak. Most of you will also be familiar with Karen and Stuart Mandy, our partners on the ground in Piggs Peak. We are extremely fortunate to have them helping us there. Karen is a pastor at a local church and helps us deal with many day-to-day issues in Piggs Peak, including identifying where the greatest needs are and helping us allocate funding to these areas. Stuart is, among other things, the overall coordinator of the garden project. With news of the drought, we of course became concerned about the gogo garden. In fact, the threat was more serious than we ever knew. Stuart informed us recently that the river which supplies water to the garden had completely dried up! However, Stuart is nothing if not resourceful. He has installed a boost pump to a borehole to provide irrigation to our garden. Without it, the garden would have been completely lost. The seasons in Swaziland are the reverse of ours. Summer is on the way and summer is the wet season so we are hopeful that rainfall will soon be coming too. This week Stuart is arranging for a tractor to till the garden to prepare to plant maize. More vegetables will be planted once the water situation
stabilizes. As you can imagine, there are costs associated with hiring a tractor, buying seeds and fertilizer, not to mention regular maintenance of fencing, shade cloths, and greenhouses. We also employ two workers (it’s a big garden!). Then there are the unexpected costs of pumps, pipes and fittings. When the garden is in full production it is just about self-sufficient, with revenue from sales of produce offsetting the associated costs. But right now, we are faced with a requirement for funds. School fees are always a priority for the Partnership. However, any donations to our general funds at this time would be most appreciated and will help to offset the ongoing costs associated with our garden project. To make a donation, simply go to our website: hamptonpiggspeak.ca and click on the DonateNow button or contact me, Mark Bettle, at bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca or 832-0003.

LISTEN IN CELEBRATING NB MUSIC COMMUNITY Timing is everything! I unfortunately missed this year’s Music/Musique NB festival “506” that celebrates our thriving music community in the province, which took place October 1518 in Moncton. You can find out more about it here at: musicnb.org. I was in the UK at this time on tour with an artist I work with called Bill Wood and The Woodies. So life is pretty good! Visited Warwick Castle and made the religious pop pilgrimage to Liverpool to be a Beatles bum! Let’s catch up with what happened at the “506” festival and awards. We have plenty of talent right here in our greater Saint John region, including artists on the fast track to making it beyond our humble borders: Tomato/ Tomato, Mike Biggar, Brent Mason and Jessica Rhaye to name just a few. There
are 30 awards that go out to some of the best in the industry as delegates from around the world come to take part in the showcases, panel discussions and festivities. The dynamic husband and wife duo of Tomato/Tomato won three awards (Hat Trick, Congratulations!) for Folk Artist of the Year, Group Recording of the Year (for So it Goes) and the SOCAN Song of the Year award (for Toss It All Away). Executive Director of Music NB, Jean Surette said this of the talent in NB; “We are very fortunate to have such a dynamic music industry here in New Brunswick”. Other big winners from the area included the Saint John String Quartet for “Classical Artist of the Year”, Brian Baker and The Memphis Knights for “Rock artists of the Year”, Chuck Teed for “Music Industry Professional of the Year”, Nick Fowler for “ Music producer of the Year”, and InterAction School of Performing Arts for “Venue of the Year”. Congratulations to everyone who won
HALL
and was nominated! Good work by all involved! I know you can purchase many of the local artists CDs, tapes and vinyl at Backstreet Records in uptown Saint John. If you love local music, make a point of getting out there and seeing and hearing what is happening in your “Scene”! You never know, the next future music legend may be in your own backyard. Don’t take it for granted! Support Local! If you know of someone I should be writing about (musical friend or family member) let me know by sending me a link to: jlibertyartists@aol.com. 0041

Q. Is there anything I can do to prepare for building (rebuilding) credit? A. Before attempting to obtain and build credit you
should make sure your financial house is in order. This involves maintaining both a positive life style and establishing positive banking habits. To create a positive lifestyle you should first make sure you are living within your means. This means that you are not using credit to meet your living expenses. Make it a priority to pay your everyday living expenses on time and in full. Finally you should always be conscious of money coming into your house and where it must go. In other words, you need to create a budget based on your family income and then stick to it. Remember to budget for and set aside money for expenses that occur on an irregular basis like insurance, back to school items and Christmas. Adopting and maintaining a positive banking style involves keeping a positive balance in your bank account. Avoid using an overdraft and having NSF cheques. An easy way to do this is to open a savings account in the same bank as your working account and automatically transfer into this account on a regular basis. Even a little amount saved on a regular basis can add up over time and provide you some security As noted in previous articles, obtaining and correcting errors in your credit report is also key to improving your future credit standing. We are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your options and help you get a Fresh Start! Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty. Additional information can be obtained on our website or by contacting our office.

POINT OF VIEW BARBIE DOLL FASHIONS Is it just me or have today's fashion trends gone the way of the Barbie? Really, folks! How many of us are actually naturally blessed with perky boobs, tiny waists, firm butts and no hips – all at the same time? Nobody but Barbie, I'm pretty sure. And let me just say that you have to have all of the above aforementioned attributes to wear some of the clothing and footwear that are considered “in” these days. This vertically challenged woman isn't afraid to admit that, when it comes to spike heels, clingy fashion tops and “skinny” jeans, this girl isn't buying. Okay, so maybe I caved on the skinny jeans! Maybe it's the trauma I suffered at the hands of 80's fashions – acid wash jeans, leg warmers, parachute pants and neon – but I just can't bring myself to wear this stuff. I'm not a prude, but these teeny tiny clothes aren't made for the average person. Despite what the trends suggest, the
14
The Hampton Herald
average person isn't 5'9” tall nor tips the scales at a mere 105 pounds. 'magine! If you are one of the lucky ones, I congratulate you and envy you. If you're not, like me, what can I say? There's no point in crying over spilled milk. I should point out that if you're tall and model thin, heels, crop tops and jeggings can look great. If you're not, they do nothing more than accentuate that muffin top and those womanly hips. Unfortunately, there are some well meaning people out there who will sacrifice their dignity in the name of fashion. So, for those of you who let their fat rolls hang out over those low rise jeans and under the tight crop tops, I beg you to stop. Just don't do it, people. It's far better to wear clothes that actually fit you than to wear something two sizes too small thinking it's going to make you look smaller than you actually are – it doesn't! As for those 6” spike heels, I have this advice. I would love to gain a few inches
as much as the next short person. But, if you can't walk on them – don't! And, I can't resist this one last fashion faux pas. Big people (or any people, really) and leggings don't go together. I wouldn't lie to you. I've decided that as close as I'm going to get to “in” these days are my boot cut jeans, bulky sweater and two inch heeled loafers. It may not be high fashion but, boy, is it comfortable. I think I'll leave the “in” stuff for the Barbies of the world, and wait until acid wash jeans come back in style. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Later, I hope! 0032

ASK THE CHEF BOIL IT, MASH IT, PUT IT IN SOUP Colin Sifton here again with another answer to your questions. With Halloween just passing, I was thinking about squash and the different varieties of squash. Squash was first introduced to the rest of the world when explorers brought them back from the new world. Other varieties of squash had been found in parts of Africa but not the kind we think of today. These squash were turned into bowls and utensils and not very good for eating. Not until the sweet squash from the new world was introduced, was squash found on many European tables. The most common squash used today in these parts is the buttercup squash. Originally from Asia, we have adopted this variety because of its almost fibreless texture and mild honey flavour. It can be baked, boiled and mashed. Adds great flavour and colour to soups. Acorn squash is named after its shape. It looks like a large acorn but it is hardy

and firm and will survive the winter in your cellar. It has a dark green shell but a yellow flesh. Great for baking or roasting but doesn’t have a lot of flavour for soup. Buttercup squash is named for its butterscotch colour and sweet nutty flesh. It is long with a bulb at the bottom which holds the seeds. This gives you a lot more flesh than seeds, unlike most squash. This is one of my favourites to cook with because of the flavour and texture you can apply it to risotto, pasta, stews and soups. Delicata is not as common but is also referred to sweet potato squash. It looks like a large fat cucumber but its usually a foot long and has the flavour of sweet potato. Great for thickening soups or remove the seeds, stuff it with whatever you want and bake. Serve right out of its shell. Spaghetti squash is known for its stringy flesh, but when cooked, will separates into a mild tasting spaghetti-like strands. Now since it has such a mild flavour, I like to add tomato sauce and treat it like
it is spaghetti. This creates a great gluten free meal which is full of vitamins and no flour. Sometimes when I am having pork, I will sauté the spaghetti squash in maple syrup, salt and peppers. A great compliment to your meal. Lastly we have the pumpkin. Most of us think of the pumpkin as the thing we make jack-o-lanterns out of but in fact the pumpkin is the best squash for cooking. The mistake most people make is bigger is better, but not in this case. The smaller the better. Large pumpkins tend to be watery and flavourless but the small ones are sweet with a great squash flavour. Great for almost anything from baking to pasta to roasted. Pumpkins are by far the best squash on the market. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

Courage Remembered
Hampton’s hometown heroes will be honoured in a unique way this Remembrance Day. Twenty-nine bright red tribute banners are being erected along the town’s Main Street, each bearing the name and service photo of a local veteran. Lyla McCrea, who spearheaded the campaign after hearing about and seeing tribute banners in other towns, is thankful so many military families, including her own, will have an opportunity to recognize the service of their loved ones in such a public way.
“Seeing the reactions, the tears, smiles and even some hugs made it even more special,” she said of the open house held October 20 at the Hampton Legion branch to unveil the banners to the families.
She and her brother, Bill Campbell, who was her “right hand” throughout the process, hosted the event. “The purpose of the legion is to perpetuate the memory and deeds of the fallen and to promote unity among all who served. What better way to do that than with these banners?”
Military service runs deep in her family. Her father fought in the Second World War and all three of her brothers served in the military. McCrea was the first woman to join the Hampton Legion 37 years ago, so pursuing this idea was natural next step. After meeting with Robert Melanson, who initiated the popular campaign in St. George and also helped Sussex get their campaign off the ground, McCrea presented her proposal at a legion meeting.

“They thought it would be wonderful, so was born the tribute banners project for Hampton,” McCrea explained. She admits there were long hours spent coordinating the project with her brother, Bill, but it was a labor of love and well worth the effort. The town also threw their support beyond the project by offering to install and remove the banners after each Remembrance Day. Word of the banners has quickly spread and already resulted in seven new orders for next year. McCrea is thrilled with the response so far. This year’s banner price was $250, which may change slightly for next year, depending on costs. Anyone interested in purchasing a banner, or who have any questions, can contact McCrea at 832-7979. This year’s Remembrance Day service will be held at the Hampton Cenotaph, which is located at Veteran’s Park in front of the Hampton Community Centre. The parade will leave the middle school at 10:30am sharp.
POPPY HISTORY For more than 90 years, the Poppy has been a symbol of honour and ultimate sacrifice, inspired by the In Flanders Fields poem, written in 1915 by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. The Poppy has been a visual symbol of remembrance since 1921. Its presence over the graves of soldiers and in the fields of honour, however, was noted as early as the 19th century after the Napoleonic Wars. The reason for its adoption over 100 years later in Canada was due, in no small part, to McCrae’s now famous poem. It was written in May, 1915, one day after the death of a fellow soldier, and would serve as inspiration three years later for an American teacher, Moina Michael, who made a personal pledge after reading the poem to always wear a Poppy as a sign of Remembrance.

Feb 6 1988 ~ Oct 19 2005 Not a day do I forget you In my heart you’re always near All I have are memories Of the days when you were here No matter what I do I always have a moment To stop and think of you Though your smile is gone forever And your hand I cannot touch Still I have so many memories Of the one I loved so much Like falling leaves the years go by But precious memories never die You live with us in memory still Not just today, but always Remembering is easy We do it every day Missing you is something That will never go away
Up upon our mountain Where the wild roses grow Lies the one I love so much And lost ten years ago No farewells were spoken No time to say good bye God called your name so gently That only you could hear No one heard the footsteps Of the Angels drawing near October winds blow cold Your secret still untold I believe in God’s “Big Plan” But I still don’t understand Yet I have to accept The choice you made that day. Now I have a picture perfect face That looks at me and takes your place Everyday my broken heart remembers Thanks for the memories I still miss you. RIP A.J.
Golden leaves are falling From the trees in our backyard Another year has come and gone But the emptiness you left behind Still hurts and we miss you Today the sun shines down On a grave not far from here Lies the one I could not save You were always loved so dear Our thoughts are always with you Our someone oh so special Who can never be replaced Gone in just a heartbeat Now memories take your place Never forgotten Death is a pain that never heals Love is a memory no one can steal The footprints of your life Are etched upon our souls
Love Always and Forever

RUTTLE, Larry David On a cool autumn day in October, a brother and sister headed West to bring their brother back home to New Brunswick and lay him to rest... It is with heavy hearts, the family of Larry David Ruttle announces his passing on October 1, 2015. Larry is survived by his brother Darrell Ruttle (Pauline) of Hampton and sister Fern (Rob Craig) of Titusville. Larry spent the latter part
of his life living in Edmonton Alberta working as a truck driver and driving cabs. Although Larry never married or had children, his two remaining siblings felt strongly that it was time to bring Larry home - home to New Brunswick where he was born. Larry will always be remembered as the big brother who was fun to tag along with growing up. Where there was excitement and a little danger, that’s where you would find Larry, in the midst of it all. A great story always followed, which would be told over and over again until you couldn’t laugh any more. In Larry's short life he had seen a lot of places and made some good friends on his travels. His passions were hockey (Edmonton Oilers), football (Edmonton Eskimos) and music. Larry was predeceased by his parents Chester Ward Ruttle and Marion May Yeomans (McAllister, Ruttle); step-Dad Harold Yeomans; brother Wayne Ruttle; and sister Ruby Floyd. He is survived by his sister-in-law Rae Ruttle, brotherin-law Gordon Floyd, several nieces and nephews. A private family burial will take place for Larry. Rest in peace dear brother – until we meet again. We love you Larry!!!

WELL RESTED by angie cummings JUST THE LATEST HEALTH FAD??? Sleep Apnea is everywhere these days.” “It seems like everyone has it.” “Is this something new? Or did people always have Sleep Apnea and just didn’t know?” “Is this just the ‘latest health fad?” I hear these or similar questions in my practice and at many of the presentations that I do for community groups. They are great questions. Sleep Apnea is receiving more attention than it ever has before. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a very common sleep disorder. It is generally marked by heavy snoring, pauses in breathing, loud gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other common factors in OSA are morning headaches, a large neck circumference, being overweight and high blood pressure. The treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea include weight loss, Mandibular Advancement Devices (Dental Appliance), and CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.) Sleep Apnea has widely been described
as affecting 3-5% of the population with 10 men having sleep apnea to every one woman. We now know that that it is much closer to 20% of the population and the ratio of men to women is much smaller at three men being affected to every two women. 30% of people have habitual snoring that is affecting their life. One reason that sleep apnea is on the rise is because of our growing waistlines. Being overweight causes fatty deposits in the neck and throat that block breathing at night. Obesity rates in Canada have tripled in the about the past 30 years. Not only does Sleep Apnea interfere with the hormone that affects hunger, people with sleep apnea who are tired and sleepy all the time may have lower metabolisms. Getting treatment for sleep apnea can make you feel better, with more energy for exercise and other activities. Another reason for the increase in diagnosis of Sleep Apnea is due to the increasing age of baby boomers. This huge portion of the population is getting older. As people get older, their tissues
get floppier and so their throats are more likely to close off with muscle relaxation when they are sleeping. There are many physiological responses during sleep apnea episodes that include the release of stress hormones. These can cause a widespread inflammatory response throughout the body and increase the chances of developing high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems, heart attacks and even strokes. It can also increase the risk for developing diabetes or making diabetes symptom worse. Treating Sleep Apnea can significantly decreases your risk for these problems. It is clear to see that diagnosing and treating Sleep Apnea is not just a recent health craze or fad, but a change that will improve the health of many. 0034 Angie Cummings, BSc RRT, Sussex Sleep Clinic

EMERGENCY MEASURES BE PREPARED NOT SCARED
The Canadian Government has developed an emergency preparedness program called “Be Prepared – Not Scared. “ It covers the many risks that Canadians may face during the year. My articles will cover the risks we all may face during the coming year and, in the next three articles, the upcoming Winter Season. The December 2013 Ice Storm, resulted in over 82,000 NB Power Customers without power for days. Stores and service stations were closed and roads difficult to travel. Supplies of food, water and fuel were difficult to acquire. Families were informed to “hunker down” and wait it out. What does it mean to “hunker down”? What items and for how long? The term “hunker down” is known, in emergency preparedness training, as “shelter in place”. If there is no immediate danger, you should shelter in place until informed to evacuate.
My family has water for 72 hours, as suggested by NBEMO. Three litres per person per day and one litre a day per cat. More water will be required for larger animals, such as dogs. We have food, soups and energy bars for the same 72 hours. Medical supplies, including a first aid kit, extra glasses and medication, flashlights and batteries are part of my emergency kit. A list of suggested emergency supplies is at: getprepared.gc.ca. I learn about an event affecting my town or neighbourhood, by being registered with the Town’s Emergency Alert system. The Emergency Alert system, allows my municipal government to send messages via cellphone, telephone landlines, emails and/or text messages, providing directions and actions to take to protect my family. It is easy to sign up for the Emergency Alert program by using the town’s Website or, by dropping into the Town Hall. Most homes in Canada will not immediately freeze; if doors and
by Brian shanks
windows are kept closed during the power outage most Canadian homes will stay above freezing for 24 hours. My grandmother showed me that opening the curtains and blinds on the windows where the sun is helps warm the rooms. She reminded me to close them before sundown. The heating of the home by any fuel burning system during normal or power outages creates additional safety challenges. Ensure that smoke detectors have not gone past their expiry date by checking the date when changing the batteries, twice a year. Carbon monoxide detectors, battery operated, can help save you from this silent killer. Next month, winter driving and preparation. 0039

MUSINGS FREEDOM What does freedom mean to you? The Oxford online dictionary defines it as “The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants”. That doesn’t mean I am free to punch you in the nose if you annoy me; that would be anarchy not freedom. But it does mean if I want to dress like a hippy at age 61 I am free to do so. Or if Mikie decides to go to the bank in his scruffy woods clothes he is free to do so (I will just wait in the car). Yes, there must be some rules as to what is considered acceptable, but we need to be aware that these are merely reinforcing our cultural norms and are not going to be the same from country to country. Where am I going with this? Niquabs. I confess to not knowing a great deal about niqabs, burkas and hijabs, nor of the Muslim religion and cultural practices. But I am not so arrogant as to assume that it is my way or the highway
when it comes to personal choice in attire. The huge uproar over the niqab issue during the recent federal election was distasteful to me for two reasons. Unsettling enough was the government of the day wanting to ban the wearing of the niqab for citizenship ceremonies (remembering that the face has already been revealed to an official for identity purposes prior to the ceremony). But much more disturbing is the huge support the position seems to have from “ordinary Canadians”. According to the Canadian Press website: “The Privy Council Office poll was conducted . . . the week after the Conservatives filed their appeal of the Federal Court decision. . . participants in the survey were asked "do you support or oppose a requirement that people show their face during Canadian citizenship ceremonies?" Eighty-two per cent of those surveyed supported the requirement”. Consider this. If my family were to move to some tropical isle where the

cultural norm is for all women to go bare-breasted, should I be required to do so or should I be free to choose? I have no doubt that should my family remain in this island culture, the generations born there would adopt the local customs, but what of those who grew up in a different culture? Canada has a history of defending minority rights. A history that includes two world wars. On the eve of Remembrance Day, is this the kind of Canada our soldiers fought and died for? 0002
