COMMENTS OF A DISTRACTED MIND RIBBONS, PAPER AND BOWS For those of us who celebrate Christmas, one of the most daunting tasks must be the shopping for, and wrapping of, gifts for friends and family. For me, it is also one of the most rewarding as it is so steeped in memories of my father. Although Mom has told me that Dad wasn’t initially a fan of the season, from the time I can remember, he was totally immersed in the Christmas preparations. He loved picking out the Christmas tree, decorating outside and in, sampling Mom’s baking, and finding just the right gift for everyone on his list. One of my favourite Christmas memories is going shopping with Dad for a gift for Mom. It was the night of the Christmas Parade, and Dad, my siblings and I were walking downtown early to shop before meeting mom and watching the parade go by. It was one of those magical December evenings, not too cold, with snow falling gently down. Once we arrived at the store, Dad gently guided us to the gift he had already chosen; he was quite clever at it as my siblings and I had no idea until years later that we hadn’t chosen the gift ourselves. We were so proud, and I believe my love for gift giving was born that night. We discovered curly ribbon not long after, and Dad and I practiced our ribbon skills on birthday gifts through the year so that our Christmas wrapping would proceed smoothly. It was a bit of a competition for a couple of years to see which of us could produce the most colourful,

curly-cued bows. In later years, after Dad found the ribbon more difficult to work with, he would wrap and I would ribbon, setting up a production station at the dinner table and spending the afternoon together, listening to Christmas music and enjoying each other’s company. My sister and I have carried on the tradition of wrapping gifts together. We pick an afternoon; send her kids to the sitters and then get down to business. Whether we both wrap and ribbon, or split the tasks, there is always Christmas music in the background and good food to be enjoyed. And Pepsi… mustn’t forget the Pepsi, which is like an afternoon tea break for Becca and me. We might not get all the wrapping down in one afternoon, but there is something special about being able to spend those few hours together-it really kicks off the season for me. 0001

How we use the Internet is evolving, but can your provider keep up? We all love the Internet. Thanks to the availability of millions of new services and apps, the Internet is making it easier-than-ever to work, socialize, play, shop, learn, share, and keep ourselves entertained from our laptops, tablets, and phones. Canadians spend an average of 36.7 hours online each month, more than any other country, as we use our computers to watch movies and TV, our tablets to read, and our smartphones to browse and play. Internet usage is at an all-time high, as 89% of Canadians connect to the Internet – in fact, highspeed Internet has become so important to us that 73% of Canadians say they would be unlikely to purchase a home that didn’t have access to high-speed Internet.1 Whether you live in a small town, hamlet or village, or in downtown Toronto, Xplornet believes that all Canadians deserve great high-speed Internet. We’ve been busy improving our network to keep pace with demand, investing in our LTE network to ensure our customers can take full advantage of the online world.1 We demand a lot of our Internet service, especially with more people online at the same time. If you’re spending time online (and who isn’t these days?), you’re likely familiar with the frustration of slow connection speeds, or an Internet connection that simply doesn’t work. We’ve all experienced these problems: Netflix slows to a standstill, emails sit in your outbox, or that dreaded icon spins endlessly in the middle of your screen. It can feel like you’re helpless to do anything about these problems, so you wait for the connection to improve. Why does this happen? Often, it is because of some-
thing called “peak hours.” Peak hours are times of the day when more people are online. Maybe your neighbours are streaming movies, sending emails, or just surfing the web. It is during these peak hours, when everyone is online at the same time, that some Internet service providers cannot keep up with demand and your connection becomes unreliable. Considering how important the Internet can be in day-to-day life, the challenges of a bad connection can feel endless. Our recent network improvements help solve the problem of peak hours, allowing both new and existing Xplornet customers to enjoy great high-speed Internet, even during the busiest times of the day. Does your Internet provider give you the freedom you’re looking for? Whether you’re kicking back and relaxing, helping the kids with a school project, or putting in some overtime

from home, Canadians are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, many of us have difficulty finding an Internet provider that can keep up, all because of where we live. As technology evolves, those who live outside of urban areas continue to be limited to what entertainment we can enjoy, how our families can connect, and where we can work. Canadians should be beyond this problem, shouldn’t we? Fortunately, there are new options to make the most of our online experience, even in rural areas. Xplornet’s LTE network is expanding to reach more Canadians every day, and rural residents are benefiting from the new technology. New customers can receive incredible high-speed Internet, while existing customers will see improvements to their Internet reliability. Outsmart slow-downs with Xplornet’s new & improved LTE network. To get ahead of slow Internet, it is important that high-speed Internet providers offer state-of-the-art technology – after all, technology changes every day and the demands on our Internet grow along with it. With recent upgrades of its towers, Xplornet’s new LTE Internet now enables residents to enjoy better-than-ever Internet service with speeds up to 25 Mbps.2 Xplornet customers can choose from a variety of data packages starting from 200GB that fit their unique
needs, starting from $59.99 for the first 6 months on a 2 year term, plus a one-time $99 installation fee.3 These higher speeds and bigger data packages were created by Xplornet in response to today’s consumers using the Internet more, from more devices, often at the same time within the same home. Start speeding online with Xplornet. Are you ready to make better use of your precious time instead of waiting on unreliable Internet service? Switching Internet providers is easy – with the onetime installation fee of $99, professional installers come to connect you. There’s no equipment to buy, and all rental fees are included in Xplornet’s affordable monthly rates. Plus, switching to Xplornet is virtually risk-free, because if you’re not happy with the service, you will receive your money back.8 To find out more about Xplornet’s LTE plans, visit xplornet.com/LTE Xplornet’s mission is simple: to connect Canadians, regardless of where they live, with fast, affordable Internet.

UNFILTERED TIPS FOR HOSTING THE PERFECT WINE TASTING PARTY With the cooler weather upon us, now is the season for indoor entertaining. Why not consider hosting an in-home wine tasting party? They are becoming more popular every year as people become more interested in learning about wine in an informal, friendly and fun environment. They allow your guests to try and learn about a variety of different wines and wine styles, and they are much easier to pull off than you might think. The first decision to make is which types of wines will you be tasting. Some folks choose the wines to pair with certain foods, such as for a dinner party for example. Another option is to choose A particular wine region: France, Italy, Argentina, etc. or a particular grape variety such as; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay etc. or style (sweet, sparkling, fortified). The possibilities are endless. Here are a few great tips that I would like to share; Ask your guests to bring a bottle of wine for tasting with them in lieu of a hostess
gift. This takes the pressure off you and allows your guests to introduce you to a great bottle of wine that may have discovered; Ask your guests to avoid where scented products, and ensure the room is also free from overwhelming scents that will interfere with the wine tasting; Supply your guests with pen & paper so that they can jot down their thought and impressions of the wines to share with the group; Always use very clean, clear wine glasses. If they have been previously washed in the dishwasher rinse them with very hot water to ensure there is no residue left behind; Have a few palate cleansers available for guests if you will not be serving food. Palate cleansers do exactly what you would expect them to do. They help to erase the flavours of the previous wines from your palate. Great examples include, slices of French bread, mild cheeses and crackers. You will also want to have water available, as well as spit cups; Finally, the order that the wines are
served in is very important. Always serve white wines before reds, light bodied before full, and dry before sweet. Not serving them in the proper order will make it very challenging to taste the wines. Finally, of course remember to encourage all of your guests to drink responsibly, offer for them to spend the night, or call them a cab to ensure that they arrive at home safely.

CREATING YOUR KITCHEN LET IT ALL SINK IN Have you shopped for a sink lately? Did you feel like you needed a plumbing degree? Top mount, under mount, stainless, granite, one bowl, one and ¾ bowl. What does your kitchen need? Let’s break it down. For starters Pop Quiz - Part of the kitchen that gets the most use, over 80 percent? - your sink. Without a sink, could you literally do anything in the kitchen? The answer is no. People have had their stainless sinks for 20+ years and when it is time to replace, it is easy to assume any stainless would do but they don’t make them like they used to. Stainless Sinks – There are different gauges of stainless to be aware of. Cheaper entry level sinks will be thinner and possibly easier to damage - How does this affect you? When you drop a bowl into the sink do you want a loud “tin sounding” bang. Ask the questions, know the gauge - 18 is excellent
but feel free to flick it in the store. Granite sinks are the fastest growing sink choice in North America. Seven different colours, lots of configurations and options. It’s a sleek look that instantly updates any kitchen. Scratch, stain and bacteria resistant, it is virtually maintenance free. It keeps the dish water hotter, longer. People love these sinks. Everyone loves the cleaning factor and the smooth look of an under mount sink but unless you have a stone countertop it isn’t a recommended option. Countertops made of laminate materials are not friendly with water therefore having an exposed edge that close to the faucet would damage your countertops. Many clients are happy with their kitchen but just want to upgrade to quartz counters and a new sink. Yes this can be done. In all materials there are a variety of configurations now. It is not just the two equal bowl option, although that is
still popular. Unsure what you prefer? Ask your dishwasher? Does he or she like to wash dishes by hand? Then the separation might be the best. If you mainly use the dishwasher then maybe a large one bowl would work better for you. Pay attention to dimensions. It is not crazy to measure your dishes before you head out shopping. Better safe than washing that large pot in the tub. 0048

LIVE WELL CHANGE FOR SUCCESS When it comes to changing, people are often heard saying things like: “Leopards can’t change their spots” or “he/she will never change” or “look where they come from; he/she is just like the rest of that family!” What is so sad about these and similar sayings is that they deny individuals’ abilities to persevere, to grow,
to overcome large obstacles and even thrive. We are not like anyone else…we are our own person, and we all have talents and abilities. What we do with them is up to us, but it’s sad to think of the many people who go to their graves every year with their potential still locked inside. Change can be more difficult for some than others—deprived upbringing, poor environments, past mistakes, lack of

encouragement and support. However, this does not mean that making positive changes is impossible - Oprah Winfrey’s scarred, painful childhood; Bill Gates and Walt Disney’s failed businesses, Albert Einstein who never spoke for the first three years of life and was thought by his teachers to be lazy and not likely to amount to much, and many others. Positive change requires the four A’s— Awareness, Acceptances, Action and Attitude. Even before these, a decision to change must be made, one that is not just lip service, but one that includes behaviors that will bring us closer to our goals. It’s not enough to say: “I want to be a successful entrepreneur” while we keep doing old, self-defeating behaviors. Behavior needs to match words, or wheels on the words, so to speak. After a decision is made, we need to be aware of what behaviors/attitudes are no longer working for us. We are then ready to move into accepting responsibility for the change by developing a plan that is in keeping with our goal; sometimes, we need more than one plan and we need to prepare for setbacks since life has a habit of not following our scripts! With a plan, we are now ready to start the action steps, which may need to be revised from time-to-time as the unexpected pops up. How we deal with and overcome setbacks is really a matter of attitude. Attitude is everything when it comes to handling adversity. There may be a tendency to revert to the old “life is not fair…everyone was right, I am a failure” or, after a period of licking our wounds, we can review what worked, what didn’t work, what needs to be changed and use that information to inform the new plan. Achieving any goal, first requires a decision, then the right attitude, and determination to keep trying and learning. It can be done! 0008
By working together we are making a difference.

Celebrate The Season As the Christmas season begins, I always start to feel a bit overwhelmed by the cost of all the holiday fun I hope to have with my family and friends. There are so many gifts I want to buy, special Christmas events I want to attend, and of course, all those mint hot chocolates and candy canes that keep calling my name. With big box stores luring us in with their bright and shiny Christmas displays, hypnotizing carols and endless sales it’s all too easy to get wrapped up in the

Offer just one well-made gift instead of a pile of disposable trinkets. As a mother of three young girls I know all too well about the “pile of disposable trinkets” and as much as they love their stash of trinkets they would equally love one well thought out gift and the same goes for my husband and I. On a side note the best place to get a “well-made gift” is not a big box store, it’s from a local shop, a market, a craft fair etc, so shop local! Make gifts. I love this idea because I tend to be crafty/creative as
Season is my 10yr old daughter so any excuse to pull out the glue gun is a good one to us. You don’t have to be Pinterest-crafty, just use skills you already have to create unique gifts whether that means knitting scarves, making soup, or redesigning a friend’s website… the possibilities are endless. Give experiences rather than things. This may be my favourite idea, and one that I feel has become more and more popular. Memories are worth so much more than objects! Would someone on your list appreciate a class, a meal at a new restaurant, or museum passes? I know my girls love movie dates!

APPLE CIDER PROJECT
APPLE CIDER PROJECT
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership between 15 denominational churches with a goal of A World without Hunger working in 40 countries around the world delivering food aid and conservation agricultural support to small farmers, and nutrition to young mothers and children. In October members of the Midland Baptist youth group along with members of the Millstream United Church gathered to pick apples at the Gillis Winery in Springfield. These apples were taken to Cornhill Nursery where the Petitcodiac Mennonite Church members made them into apple cider (216, 2L jugs) which were sold with funds going to the Canadian Foodgrains bank. This year over $1000 was raised. These funds are matched through an agreement with the Canadian Government at four to one for food aid and three to one for Conservation agriculture programs.

KINGS COUNTY MUSEUM NEWS The Kings County Museum had a great summer season with the Confederation Quilt exhibit plus our Facebook following for the Centennial Friendship Quilt. If you haven't yet made it in, the exhibit is still in place and we are open Thursdays and Saturdays from 1:00pm-4:00pm or at other times by appointment. For those interested in exploring their family roots, we have a research room with many books on local history and local communities, plus many family genealogies. This is free for Historical Society members (membership is just $20 per year), or at the nominal fee of $10 per half day for non-members. Also, with Christmas just around the corner, have you considered a book on local history for the historian in your family or circle of friends? We have many to choose from, most by local authors, and the prices are very reasonable. You can see a listing on our website at kingscountymuseum. com/books and then come in and pick them up. They make great gifts! 4760

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE UNCOMPLICATE YOUR WILL When it comes to our finances, we often complicate matters more than they need to be. This is usually inadvertent – we have an intention to make something easy and clear-cut, but end up making it more complicated because we didn’t seek the right advice, or thought we knew more than we really did. Wills are no different – they can be as straightforward or complicated as we want them to be. But in situations where there are multiple beneficiaries or unique circumstances, getting the right advice at the beginning is key to reducing headaches down the road. The complicated nature of a will often arises due to the structure of the person’s family, as opposed to the makeup of their assets. For example, in a situation where there is a second marriage or a blended family, an individual may want to leave a portion of their estate to children from their first marriage, and another portion to their new spouse.
Other examples include certain beneficiaries residing in a different jurisdiction that contain different tax regulations. Or a beneficiary has a disability and receives social assistance – receiving a lump-sum of money could cut them off from that assistance, so depending upon which province they live in, structuring the will so the inheritance is received in a trust (specifically a Henson trust) can ensure the money is protected while still receiving government benefits. A lot of people make their wills more complicated than they need to be, but in general, a lack of proper planning ahead of time can make things more difficult. Things can get tricky when you designate certain assets to specific beneficiaries. Asset values can differ from one another, they can change over time, and their aftertax value may be less than what’s expected – all which complicates matters when it becomes clear that one beneficiary will receive more than the other, even
if that wasn’t the original intention (for example, when dividing an estate between children). Updating your will and clearly defining equal distribution can help mitigate these situations. It’s also important to plan your finances outside of your will. Work with your professional advisor to understand what the value of your estate actually is – in particular its after-income-tax value – to help you determine how to divide the estate equitably in your will. 0036 Edited for space, see full article ossekeag.ca

ASK MARY IS IT OKAY TO SKIP CHRISTMAS I used to love the holidays, but this is my first year without my spouse and the kids have all moved away. I just don’t have it in me. Is it “Okay to Skip Christmas” or am I being selfish? Absolutely – There is nothing wrong with taking a break from the holidays, especially when your grief is fresh. A break can mean turning down invitations to parties or to step back from parts of the holiday season that are too difficult to share without your spouse. Some take a trip away so they don’t have to deal with any of the festive season. Others redefine what the holidays are like and they start new Christmas traditions which bring them peace and serenity during a stressful time. If taking a break from the holidays isn’t quite acceptable, here are some ways to make this time easier: Acknowledge that this Holiday Season will be different; Try to visit a few very close family members or friends; Accept your grief and don’t feel
guilty; Express your feelings by – talking, writing, music, prayer; Plan ahead – share tasks and know your limitations. Sometimes it quite simple – you just don’t want any part of the season. You are grieving and need the time to do so without pretending to be happy. Don’t feel guilty for something that is normal and healthy. You have to grieve before you can heal. If you find the season just too much to bear, than skip what you can. Find time for yourself and don’t worry about socializing if you’re not up to it. For a grieving person, anxiety and sadness is normal and part of the healing process. Our mistake is trying to keep everything the same as if our life was still normal. It’s not normal, in fact it has been forever changed, so the best approach is to face it head on and be prepared. I wrote a 40 page “Guide for Holidays and Special Occasions” to help grievers get through the holidays. It can help you do some planning and it’s the perfect
map for your journey through all the occasions, with all their emotional up’s and down’s. To have a look at a few pages, just go to “Just For You” section under my website and click on the Guides link. Best wishes if not for a joyous holiday, at least for a peaceful one.
