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

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 threat or 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 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. Lighted candles must never be left unattended. Hint: They will burn longer if kept in the freezer before use. In the KV, the fire department provides a free home fire safety inspection service. You can contact them to do one for your home. Next month, winter driving and preparation.

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. “Thank you to all the men and women who bravely served and sacrificed for our country” Rhonda Finlay B.A., M.S.c.

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.

AROUND & ABOUT HAVE YOU GOT A STORY TO TELL? As a published writer of 15 local books, I am often asked how one goes about this. Many people come to me with a book idea, and often they are very good ideas, and they even have a few chapters done. About one in a hundred will have success in finding a publisher, but the other 99 should not give up and I try to point them in a direction that will work for them. Usually this is self publishing. It was about a year ago that my book on Saint John Ghosts came out. While it has been an eye opening experience to self- publish a book, I would still prefer to do this through a publisher, such as Nimbus, who have brought out all my other local books. Why do I say this? Because when you do it yourself, not only do you write the book, edit the book, lay out the pages, insert the photos, and arrange and pay for the printing, but you do all the

promotion, the placing of the book for sale, the checking to see if they were sold, sending an invoice so you will receive payment, etc. It is very time consuming. However, on the plus side, it sure beats having the contents of your book, family history, memoirs, letters you wrote to your sweetie, or whatever you’ve written filed away somewhere never to be read by anyone other than yourself. So that’s why I encourage people to look at self-publishing. It used to be a dirty word and it can still be fraught with difficulty. There are numerous unscrupulous companies out there who will promise the world, take your money, but not deliver the goods, or if you do get them, you will pay for every copy in advance, and the production job may not be at all satisfactory. So, if you go that route, be very careful especially if you do it all over the internet or without face to face contact with the company. If you have even the most basic of computer skills you can do

The Potting Shed & Flower Shop

most of the preparation on your own. Get a competent friend or pay someone qualified to act as your editor… read and re-read and read it twice more before you format it for a printer. There are many local companies that can provide you with copies of your work and it can be perfect bound locally so it looks as good anything from a publishing house. I am always willing to answer questions on such a procedure, so don’t hesitate to ask at gosswalk@nbnet.nb. ca. Oh, yes, if you do publish, remember to set a copy aside for the local library, as then your story will be read for decades to come by others who share your interests. 0004

INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS We are so proud to say that the residents of Kings Way Care Centre and Kennebec Manor along with members of our Senior Day program were hard at work this week filling backpacks to help feed children in need. The Kings Way LifeCare Alliance has partnered with Centennial School,

which has identified students at risk of having little to eat on weekends. The Elders who live at Kennebec Manor and Kings Way Care Centre wanted to make a difference in these children’s lives and decided that they wanted to ensure no child would go hungry on the weekends. Effective October 30th the elders living in our two homes will fill backpacks with food every two weeks and then deliver these packs to Centennial School.

Throughout the week participants in our senior day program and residents living in our homes, cook and freeze a variety of foods to help fill these backpacks. Not only does this program feed children at risk in our communities, it also gives our elders an opportunity to help children and be active participants in our communities. We are always happy to receive donations for these packs and are currently looking for donations of jars of peanut butter and packages of bagels to fill our backpacks in the future. If you are interested in donating to this wonderful program, please drop off your donation to Kings Way Care Centre, Kennebec Manor or call Tracy Scott Director of Life Enrichment at 847-1131 x 1229. 0025

LISTEN IN TERRY HATTY BAND LIVE There is always great live music event happening in the city and beyond, but this show deserves an extra special mention I feel. It’s for “The Terry Hatty Band”. Coming from Away (CFA), I first heard about Terry over a decade ago while hanging and sometime’s working at Backstreet Records in uptown Saint John. Backstreet owner Gordie Tufts told me about his friend Terry (ex Sam Moon) who was the singer for the iconic Canadian rock band The Guess Who for a very short period; even releasing a studio album with them entitled “Liberty” (great name!) with the band on Aquarius Records, which was home at one time or another for other Classic Canadian artists including Corey Hart and April Wine. Learn all about the Rock ‘N’ Roll soap opera that is the Guess Who. After delving further into Terry’s work I discovered an amazing performer and singer who could literally weave

anything he sang into pure gold. I reached out to Terry’s daughter, Tamara Steele, to find out more about the up-coming show; where he has been in recent years and what type of material they would be doing. “It's a rock show with some classics and some of his original material. On the weekend, they were rehearing Gnarlz Barkley and Stevie Wonder and they mentioned Hall & Oates and the Guess Who. Peter Kindred is playing bass. He (Terry) hasn't played in a public venue in the Saint John area since the KV Jazz Fest. I think that was 08 or 09. His last record was a Christian project-self-titled. He plays a bar in Halifax called Stayner's and he teaches guitar and singing at Long and McQuade in Charlottetown. It's harder to find this kind of live entertainment so I'm hoping it will do well so it can happen more often.” Tamara tells me via FB messenger. I hope he performs more as well! After messaging Terry several times, I finally heard back from the man himself. Echoing what his daughter told me along

with a healthy dose of humour Terry replied, “... me and my musical friends are looking forward to having some fun playing great tunes from all through the years: classics by Stevie Wonder, Squeeze, Hall & Oates plus some more obscure things by people like Bobby Gentry, Gnarls Barkley and Terry Hatty. We start early 7:00pm or so… just to make sure my age group can get home and watch The National. Oh!... and we might play something by 'Guess Who'” I highly recommend this show to any/all live music lovers! Terry and his musical friends are performing two shows at Steamers - November 13 & 14. Tickets are $17.50 in advance or $20 at the door, if not already sold out. 0041

Courage Remembered

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. During a visit to the United States in 1920, a French woman named Madame Guerin learned of the custom and began selling handmade Poppies to raise money for the children in war-torn areas of the country. Following her example, the Poppy was ofﬁcially adopted by Canada’s Great War Veteran’s Association (Royal Canadian Legion’s predecessor) as its Flower of Remembrance on July 5, 1921. All Canadians are encouraged to proudly wear a Poppy.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. ~May 3, 1915 John McCrae Mon-Fri: 8-5 Inspection Station

POPPY CAMPAIGN The annual Poppy Campaign, which begins the last Friday in October and ends on Remembrance Day, is carried out by the Legion to honour those who serve, and to raise funds in support of veterans and their families. Everyone can be part of the campaign, simply by wearing a poppy, attending a ceremony, and recognizing those who gave their lives for our freedom. Millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a symbol of national pride and respect, a visual pledge to never forget. During the campaign,

thousands of Legion members from across Canada volunteer their time to distribute Poppies and raise millions that will help to support veterans and their families. While they are distributed freely, the Legion appreciates the generous donations to the Poppy Fund. To further support both past and present veterans, anyone can become a member of the Royal Canadian Legion. You can also show your pride by purchasing the Poppy and other commemorative items from the Poppy Store. All proceeds support Legion programs.

POPPY FUNDS Funds from the annual Poppy Campaign are placed in trust to be used for the care and support of veterans and their dependents. The Legion, through Poppy Fund donations, provides ďŹ nancial assistance to serving and former Canadian Armed Forces and their families who are in need. Grants are available for food, heating costs, prescription medication, medical appliances and equipment, essential home repairs and emergency shelter or assistance.

Comforts for veterans and their surviving spouses who are hospitalized and in need can also be provided. A portion of the proceeds from Poppy funds may also be allocated to promote remembrance and ensure Canadians never forget the sacrifices of Canada’s veterans. CEREMONIES Remembrance Day is an important day in the Canadian calendar and is an opportunity to give meaning to past sacrifice and acknowledge the courage of those presently serving. Each year, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, thousands gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to observe a moment of silence and mark the sacrifice of so many. Legion members are proud to organize Remembrance

Day ceremonies in over 1,400 communities across Canada. Through local branches, the Legions carry on the traditions of remembrance and ensures Canada never forgets. People of all ages are encouraged to participate in their local Remembrance Day ceremonies. These solemn and poignant observances remind everyone of the service and sacriﬁce of the men and women who protect our freedoms, and provide an opportunity to give thanks and honour the fallen. For those who are unable to attend a ceremony in their local area, you can watch the National Remembrance Day ceremony that is broadcast from the National War Memorial in Ottawa.

Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, youth representatives and members of the Diplomatic Corps are also represented. YOUTH REMEMBER To foster the tradition of remembrance among youths, the Royal Canadian Legion has developed a teaching guide to assist primary and secondary school teachers in delivering valuable information to students. There’s an ongoing need to ensure that today’s youth have a fundamental understanding that their greatgrandparents, grandparents, fathers and mothers were called upon to defend the freedom and democracy that Canadians of all ages enjoy today. Along with notes on the Canadian military history and The Royal Canadian Legion, the teaching

guide also includes important Canadian symbols, remembrance themes in stories, songs and poems; information about the annual Poppy campaign and how the money is used. There’s also information on the Legion’s National Poster and Literary Contests and suggested school activities to commemorate Remembrance Day.

REGGIE DOWNEY

On November 11, we will be celebrating Remembrance Day. Every year when this special day rolls around, I always feel sad that often all we know about those who made the supreme sacrifice is their name on a war memorial. How much nicer it would be if we could have access to the story of their lives before going off to war. With this in mind, I am sending you my story about one such individual: William Reginald (Reggie) Downey. My name is Philip McCavour & I was born May 21, 1946 – just 1 year after WWII ended. I lived in Lorneville next door to Willy & Lilly Downey. This couple had five children: three boys & two girls – and I knew them all except Reggie. Reggie and his brother Percy both fought in WWII in the Italian campaign. Percy came home; Reggie did not. Sadly he was killed in action on September 24, 1944 in Italy and is buried there in the Gradara War Cemetery. My father told me that on the day Reggie was to leave for the war, he came to say “goodbye”. After a long talk, my Father told Reggie “You had better leave; otherwise you will miss your train”. Dad walked him to the end of the driveway and stood watching as Reggie walked down the road. Reggie turned twice to wave and my Dad told me that he had a sinking feeling that he might never see him again.

My home and Reggie’s home were next door to each other & I saw his mother almost every day. But as a young boy growing up in the 1950’s, I knew very little about the war and the great sacrifices the soldiers & their families had to endure. In 1971, like many other young people, I decided to travel around Europe, hitchhiking with a backpack and sleeping in hostels, barns, etc. When Reggie’s mother, Lilly, heard that I was going, she asked that if I was in Italy, would I be able to take a picture of Reggie’s grave. I told her I would try. One day in my travels, I found myself in a little town in Italy staying at a Youth Hostel. I had a Canadian flag sewn on the back of my backpack and another one sewn on the back of my jacket. The people in this town were so friendly. They would shake my hand & offer me free meals, etc. I had no idea why until the lady at the Hostel told me that it was the Canadians who had liberated this area during WWII. It made me feel proud to be a Canadian. I got out my information on Reggie & asked if she knew where the Cemetery was. She sent me to a little Café next door to talk to ‘Alphonse’ who would know. Alphonse was so excited to help me; he kept slapping me on the back & shaking my hand. I could not understand one word he was saying, so I had the lady from the Hostel translate. Through her broken English, I understood that he would take me to the Cemetery the next day.

We met for breakfast (which he provided) at 8:00am and then we set off in his tiny car with one wheel at the front & two at the rear. It turned out to be a 3½ hour trip (he talked in Italian non-stop the whole time). Arriving at the Cemetery, we went a little farther on to the home of a man who knew how to find Reggie’s grave. But first he provided us with a big dinner. Some neighbours came and there were more handshakes, etc. At the Cemetery, I was immediately struck by how beautiful and peaceful it was and by a profound sadness for all those young Canadians buried there. I was 25 years old as I stood at the grave of Reggie who died at 27. I started thinking of how similar our childhoods were. Our homes were 200 feet apart. Both my father & his mother were McCavours. I had two brothers and one sister; he had two brothers and two sisters. We both went to the one-room schoolhouse just a 3-minute walk from our homes. We played in the same fields; fished in the same brooks, etc. Now I was standing here a free man; free to travel to places like Italy; free to marry and raise a family; at liberty to enjoy a life free from tyrants all because of men like Reggie Downey who laid down their lives for our freedom. We owe a huge THANKS to all our veterans and one day a year is not nearly enough. Philip McCavour

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

HEALTH MATTERS COMPRESSION GARMENTS

Compression Socks for Hockey Players? My husband and I wear compression stockings/socks almost daily working in the pharmacy, to prevent leg fatigue and maintain vascular health. Compression stockings have changed significantly in appearance and functionality over the past decade. In general, compression garments, including stockings, socks and wraps, were designed to help improve blood flow in those with venous insufficiency. They are used in post-surgical patients, people with diabetes, those with circulatory issues or individuals prone to swelling (edema), phlebitis, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT or clot) or inactive and bed-ridden patients. The tightly fitting leg wraps or stockings help blood return to the heart so it doesn't pool in the lower extremities and cause swelling and/or blood clots. Compression Socks for the Standing Worker. For those without previous

conditions, there is evidence that compression stockings can help with leg fatigue. In individuals with swelling in the legs, established varicose veins, or circulatory disorders, wearing compression stockings daily can improve daily symptoms of pain, heaviness, fatigue. Compression Socks For Athletic Performance and Recovery. Wearing the socks during exercise is believed to aid performance, increase oxygen delivery and blood flow, reduce the jarring, vibration and stress to the muscles, and prevent soft tissue damage such as shin splints. Studies supporting this are limited. Compression Socks and Recovery. A growing number of studies suggest that the use of compression socks may, in fact, speed recovery and reduce soreness after a strenuous workout. Using compression socks post-exercise can decrease muscle soreness, damage and lead to faster recovery. Hockey players, runners, basketball players etc., may benefit from compression therapy. Travel-related blood clots. One meta-

analysis showed that travel of long duration is associated with a three-fold increase in the risk of developing a DVT (clot). Below the knee compression stockings during long flights or travel days can decrease the risk of developing a clot. Get the Right Fit. Evidence shows that most people who have compression socks don’t wear them like they should. This may be due to the fit, compression, material, or difficulty in putting them on. This is why it is highly recommended that you be fitted for stockings by someone that has been trained to fit them properly. Too much compression can decrease blood flow, and too little compression offers little benefit. 0043

SUPERIOR WATER SHUTTLE EXERCISE UPDATE While most of the general populace of Nauwigewauk were tucked under their sheets and blankets on Sunday morning, October 18, the Nauwigewauk Volunteer Fire Department, along with nine others, were up and at it. They were participating in a Superior Water Shuttle exercise, which in the end resulted in those Departments’ recertification, and that will benefit local residents and businesses by the possibility of reduced insurance premiums. Chief Blair Wanamaker of

Nauwigewauk organized the operation, which also included the volunteer departments from Simonds, Hampton, Upham, Bellisle, Norton, Kennebecasis Valley, St. Martin's, Long Reach and Peninsula. The exercise was designed to truck water from nearby sources such as a pond or a river and deliver it to the site of a fire in order to provide a constant flow rate of 800 gallons per minute. In a two-hour exercise duration, 82 tanker loads of water were delivered and dumped into portable holding tanks and simultaneously

removed by other trucks and pumped on a target represented by a large tree in the middle of a nearby field. The final results ended up in seeing 796 gallons per minute achieved. In order to maintain the qualification, testing is required every five years, and it took two months of work to get the exercise off and running. The citizens served by these volunteer departments can be justly proud of what these talented and dedicated bunch of guys can do. Thanks and well done! 3754

DOLLARS & SENSE BEFORE YOU MARRY Before you marry – talk about Money – it just makes sense! When talking to marriage counsellors about the effects of finances in a marriage, what they have said is if finances are not the identified number one reason why people break up, it is in the top three. Finances are such an integral part of a relationship, it affects your future plans and your day to day. We see the stress it causes in our offices every day. Arguments can start with, “well I didn’t know you/we owed that! We owe how much? Well I didn’t know we spent that! What happened to all our money?” All these statements can be hurtful in any relationship, and the root varies as to why they are made. Sometimes the person tasked with managing the money in the relationship is not good at it or needs help, sometimes there are things that are hidden because of embarrassment or because they know it will cause an argument. Financial disagreements can and will happen throughout a relationship, but it does hold true that the more you know prior, the easier you can get through it. The best words of advice you can receive about a relationship is to talk about money from the beginning. The conversation should grow with the relationship. As time goes on it won’t be so much a question and answer, but a natural discussion day to day. If you plan to marry, you need to be comfortable discussing student loans, consumer debt and how you will have a household budget. Not knowing the state of each other’s finances will impact your goals. Applying for your first mortgage together is not the time to find out that your partner is carrying a high amount of student loans or that they have a poor credit rating. There are many discussions and financial decisions to be made upon marriage. Will you have a joint account? How many credit cards will be used in the household? How will you decide on large purchases? Talk

to your friends and family, how do they navigate the financial discussion? What tips can they give you for you to get started? In the end the conversation is essential to have before you marry so that you

are prepared for what lays ahead when you are married. 0005 Tamara Kelly Director of Education Credit Counselling Services of Atlantic Canada

LIVE WELL TOXIC WORRY “How would your life be different if… you stopped worrying about things you can’t control and started focusing on the things you can? Let today be the day… you free yourself from fruitless worry, seize the day and take effective action on things you can change.” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free Dr. Edward Hallowell, psychiatrist and author of Worry, argues that while "Worry serves a productive function," anticipatory and dangerous worrying - which he calls "toxic worry" - can be harmful for your mental and physical health. He claims that "Toxic worry is when the worry paralyzes you," whereas "Good worry leads to constructive action" such as taking steps to resolve the issue that is causing concern. Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo states that “being concerned is one thing, but if you’re like many perfectionists, it’s easy to take worrying to a toxic level! Toxic Worrying not only poisons any happiness in your life – it’s behind many unwanted health problems, including: depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention deficit disorder, phobias and paranoia." Worry is meant to guide us not to control us. If we allow ourselves to relax and look at a situation from all sides, we can begin to break it down into smaller components. Allowing ourselves the time to distinguish between what elements are in our control and letting go of the ones we cannot control or change can help reduce our stress level and help us make more informed decisions. Developing a plan: self-care and selfawareness are essential for our overall wellbeing and help us to stay focused on our goals. Staying in touch with our inner self helps us to recognize our triggers and the resulting physiological symptoms. Some techniques that can help address the symptoms are relaxed breathing, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation and other mindfulness

The Valley Viewer

exercises. Once you are feeling relaxed and focused consider completing a Worry Thought Record available on PsychologyTools.com. This thought record helps you to identify the situation, the resulting worrisome thought, your predictions, emotional intensity, what evidence you have to support your predictions and allows you to rate how likely your predictions will occur based on your beliefs. PsychologyTools.com also provides a number of worksheets to help address some of the unwanted health problems mentioned earlier in the article. It is also very important to remember that you do not have to face this challenge alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, we are, after all, only human and therefore have limitations as to what we can handle based on our own personal experiences. It is very important to grow your support system. The Saint John Human Development Council provides a list of community resources and support services on their website (sjhdc.ca).

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 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

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
