The Sussex Herald
The staff at Ossekeag enjoys having fun on the job - this often means long “discussions” regarding various topics of interests. We are from very different backgrounds with varied life experiences, which allows for a wide range of opinions and values. We were recently discussing the value of cursive writing - an ongoing and heated debate between some members of the staff and the conversation led me to thinking about how much the education system has changed since I graduated from high school. This is particularly evident when discussing grading structure and teaching styles. My nine-year-old nephew is thrilled that his most recent report card is filled with “3’s and 4’s”. It took a minute for me to understand that a “4” is similar to the “E” or “excellent” that I received on my fourth grade report card. In turn, that “excellent” was similar to a letter grade of “A+” that Jon received, or the percentage of “90-100%”, mom and dad brought home, and to which I was introduced to in Junior High and University. In High school, meanwhile, I received both letter grades and percentiles, just to make things really confusing. My nephew also accesses the internet for some projects, a tool that was simply unavailable to me until I began high school. Even then, most research was conducted in the school library, or at home with an encyclopaedia. When I mentioned this to my nephew, he was surprised to learn that the internet was contained in a book at one time. When I was learning the basics,
“reading, writing and arithmetic”, we started with spelling and sentence structure, and used plastic blocks to help understand numbers, addition and subtraction. Apparently, while spelling remains important, the drills and flashcards I remember are now tools for parents rather than classroom protocol. Instead, students are using smart boards and calculators, which again, were unavailable to me. The “smart board” hadn’t been invented until long after I was out of the school system. With all of the advances in technology it’s not hard to understand why teaching styles have evolved, but I find it interesting that I can no longer “do” grade school math. I may get the correct answer, but my methods are simply antiquated, an odd concept for a 35 year old to grasp! In our discussion of whether or not cursive writing remains relevant enough in today’s society to warrant being taught to children, the topics of home economics and trade classes were also raised. I recently heard that “adulting” classes are now being offered to young adults where students learn such life skills as balancing a cheque book, doing laundry and how to change a tire. Meanwhile, these were skills that I either learned at home, or in the classroom. It will be interesting to see how this trend continues and whether the idea of learning life skills will be reintroduced to the classroom. 0001

TENDiNG TO MY PATCH ATTRACTING BEES TO OUR GARDEN Quote By David Suzuki: “Close to 90 per cent of the world's plants rely on pollinators for fertilization and reproduction — including many of the plants we use for food. If we lose the bees, we lose the plants, and if we lose the plants, well…”. What Can We Do? One of the most fun ways we can all work to keep bee populations healthy is to create homes and habitat for the insects. If you have a garden, even a small one on your balcony, you can fill it with plants and flowers that attract bees and other pollinators. And because bees are easy to please, almost any garden will attract them - but remember that native plants will attract native bees while exotic plants will attract honeybees. Choosing a variety of plants that bloom throughout the season will keep bees buzzing from spring through fall. Some of the best plants we can grow for honey bees are actually the same plants we see
every day, because they make up the habitat honey bees are used to. You can also build homes for bees. Different kinds of bees have different housing needs, and it's a great educational experience to learn how to build homes that will attract various types of bees. Canada is home to hundreds of bee species of all sizes. Some live below ground, some above. Leave patches of exposed dirt that turn to mud when it rains. Some bees live underground and will thank you for access to the mud they need. Plant a variety of plants that flower at different times. Plant flowers of a single species in clumps rather than scattered here and there. Bees have different tongue lengths so a variety of flower shapes will benefit a diversity of bee species. Adding vegetable, fruits and herbs is another great way to attract bees. Pollen and nectar are two of the most important things in a honey

bee’s life. They use them to feed their hives, and they need them to fuel their incredible journeys to find flowers as sources of food. Aim to have a pesticide-free garden and use pest-ridding remedies that are natural and not reliant on chemicals. If you do spray plants, only do so after dusk, when pollinators are least active, avoid using chemicals known to harm bees. We can also benefit from the honey bees’ habitat just as they do. Providing a friendly and safe habitat in our garden can mean reaping a harvest after the honey bees have come and gone. 0034

Our project started off with a lecture about the field of Graphic Design, the basics of designing and cutting vinyl, as well as some principles & guidelines of design to get the students thinking Recently, I was approached by about the signs they would create.

It took me out ideas individually and in small some time to find my path, so groups. This was a good chance for when I was asked to get involved the students to think creatively and I was excited to be able to lend express ideas while keeping in mind my expertise and to help expose the limitations and constraints the students to another possible posed by the project.

This demonstration helped give the students an idea as to how a Graphic Designer works as well as the process & tools involved. This project was a very positive experience for me, allowing me to practice my French while speaking about my career and spreading some knowledge to others. I know that every student had a different connection to the project, but I hope that by shedding some light on my profession, I will have inspired some ideas and further investigation by any students with an affinity for design.

wELL RESTED THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN THE CPAP WORLD... So you’ve been told that your snore or you stop breathing in your sleep. You feel tired during the day. You’ve finally mentioned it to your doctor and they referred you for a sleep test. You had your sleep test, it was easier than you thought. The results came back and you know you have sleep apnea. Your doctor wants you to do a trial on a CPAP machine because it will be beneficial to your heart health and you won’t be so tired during the day. These thoughts immediately run through your head: But I can’t wear a mask at night! I’m claustrophic! How am I supposed to sleep with one of those things? I’ve tried it before and just couldn’t wear it. I breathe through my mouth, I can’t wear a mask. Those machines are so noisy! These are all very valid and common concerns. By far, the most important and challenging aspect of CPAP treatment is the mask. When I say “mask”, I mean any of the devices used to attach the user to the CPAP machine. In recent years
these have become much smaller, more comfortable and user friendly. When I started working with CPAP machines, the masks were big bulky things that were so uncomfortable, only the most severe apnea sufferers could tolerate it. Now there are dozens of choices and the client must be able to try many to find the right fit. They range from nasal pillow systems, that just rest against the nostrils to deliver the air pressure, to small nose masks that just cover the nose, to masks that cover the nose and mouth for those whose mouths come open at night. The materials are now hypoallergenic, very soft silicone construction, with minimal strap. This is a consumer driven field and consumers demand a mask that will help them sleep, not keep them awake with discomfort. If you have an old machine at home that grinds and whirls while in use, you’d be shocked to hear the almost silent units available now. I have had
many spouses report that the new quiet machines are much better than even the quietest snoring. Even if your old machine doesn’t have a lot of “miles” on it, the old technology made for a noisy, uncomfortable machine. Your insurance more than likely covers you for a new machine if it is five years old or more and for a new mask a couple of times a year. Having the best mask for your face and quietest, appropriately set machine are two of the biggest factor in having a successful CPAP experience. 0038

satisfaction in someone else noticing that you have made a difference especially after all the hard work and time it has taken to get where you are now. Some of your progress can be unexpected, hey my knees didn’t hurt when I walked upstairs, shovelling the walkway didn’t leave you winded, carrying the groceries from the car didn’t hurt your shoulder, that blue jacket that had to be unbuttoned when you sat down has a little extra room in it now. People think it is a boring or grueling activity to exercise daily or constantly watch the food you eat but sometimes routine is the secret to control. It isn’t always the baby that kept the weight on you it is the fact that you are all of a sudden at home able to nibble on whatever and whenever you want. Many dream of retirement then when they get there it is like “what happened” why am I gaining weight? Your life has changed routine is gone so is organized eating. Why shouldn’t you do what you want, eat what, where and how you want. Retirement can also make you more sedentary, sleep in, watch that TV show you’ve always wanted to see, stay in your jammies there’s nowhere you have to be you don’t answer to anybody but you! All these thing are true and you earned the right but do you really want to just lay around and eat? There is always someone out there that could use a workout or walking partner, get out it is Spring!!

through the mud puddle that is currently my front garden), I started to make a list of chores that need done before I can dive into making things pretty again. We tried to involve Rufus in our tasks, but she refused to budge from the pile of (clean!) laundry she was nestled in; the silly girl is still in winter mode.
As I gazed in trepidation at the swamp that recently appeared under our pine trees and around the shed, I could also see storm felled tree limbs, the neighbor’s lost garbage can lid and various other pieces of debris cluttering up our once pristine lawn. As Darla noted, the front garden is also definitely in need of a little TLC; a task that I will need to
back burner until the ground dries up a little. Fortunately, one of my favourite things about spring is how resilient everything is. A quick walk around the property revealed that my sedum is greening up and little shoots are starting to appear; I will be able to bring out my garden decorations and solar lights in no time.

doubt, call an expert! There are often small changes that can be made that greatly improve your property value while being pleasing to the eye. A new coat of paint or stain on the deck, a freshly sealed or paved driveway, and one or two splashes of colour such as a hanging basket or pretty rocks around a fish pond can be accomplished frugally, with minimal effort. As an added bonus, these little jobs provide the perfect excuse to spend time enjoying the strengthening sunshine and warmer temperatures. There is something very rewarding about a well-kept lawn and garden. A perfect expression of personality, gardening and landscaping is an art form that can be as simple or as complicated as one can imagine. A quick and often easy way to add curb appeal, whether elaborately staged with immaculately groomed shrubs, rock walls, pools, fences, and walkways, or a simple vegetable garden plot and potted flowers, the combinations and ideas are endless. Tips and tricks for home gardening can be found in magazines and many websites.
The one tip each source agrees on is whether you decide to seek the experience of a pro, or are more a do-it-yourself person, a strong start makes for an easier season. For me, this means raking the yard and filling in sparse spots in the lawn with grass seed. Before I ever set foot in a nursery or garden center, I weed and edge the garden, repair any holes in the rock wall and turn over the earth. Once the “work” is done, it’s time to start adding colour with fresh blooms. For more tips and tricks in getting your garden ready for spring, check out Betty Kennett’s column “Preparing for ‘Digging Days’” and Sally Colpitt’s editorial piece “Senior’s Gardening”, available for viewing at Ossekeag.ca.

The Holocaust Memorial Day Observance (Yom Hashoah) will be held at the Shaarei Zedek Synagogue, 91 Leinster Street, Saint John, on Monday, May 1, 7:30pm and will feature a keynote address by Mr. Gershon Willinger. His parents Guido and Edith Helene Rothschild-Willinger were murdered in Sobibor on July 2, 1943, one year after he was born. At the age of five months he was hidden with a non-Jewish family before being taken to the Children’s Home at Camp Westerbork. In September 1944, he was sent on the last train transport from Westerbork Holland to Auschwitz with 50 other children. The children were later transported to Theresienstadt, which was liberated in 1945 by the Russian Army. Gershon WIllinger was returned to Holland where he moved between foster homes, orphanages and a sanatorium before being placed with a permanent Jewish foster family in 1950. He was granted Dutch citizenship in 1959, having been “stateless” since his birth. From 1960 to 1977 he lived in Israel where he was a social worker. He came to Canada with his family in 1977. Memorial candles will be lit in memory of victims of the Holocaust. The Beatrice Cummings Mayer Prizes will be presented to high school students who participated in the Jewish Holocaust Study Group. The group was jointly organized by the Saint John Jewish Historical Museum and the Anglophone School District South. The students’ work will be available for viewing in the Museum before and after the programme. For further information please contact the Saint John Jewish Historical Museum: 633-1833 or sjjhm@nbnet.nb.ca. 4468

SELF ESTEEM UNTIL NOW Today can be a new beginning. Not one person on this earth has or will ever come through life unscathed. Each of us has had our own disappointments, circumstances, experiences, mistakes and losses. Chances are, along the way, we have developed negative thinking patterns. The good news is: You can be the one to stop it. No human being is perfect. We have all failed and made mistakes. We tend to listen to that old recording in our head that says, “you can’t do anything right, you will never be good enough”. We need to stop allowing those condemning voices to control us. All they do is perpetuate a negative self image. Something I have found helpful is to simply say two words… ‘until now’. By using these two words at the end of my negative thought, it subtly suggests that I will think and do differently next time. For example, “I have always been depressed, until now” or “I have never exercised regularly, until now”.
Do you notice how those two simple words are filled with possibility? While these statements did not automatically change me from a couch potato into an Olympic athlete, they gave me hope and a belief in myself. From this day forward, I can and will do better. Often, we beat ourselves up due to our negative experiences and perhaps, nine times out of 10, they were not even our fault; someone mistreated you, rejected you or insinuated there was something wrong with you. Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe, just maybe, the problem is with them and not you? We are so quick to take the blame. Quit allowing their voice to take up space in your head. Quit receiving all the accusations. By doing so you are allowing others to steal your joy. There is no need to internalize guilt, shame and blame. Our attitude should be ‘that’s okay, I’m growing”. You may not feel as though you are where you should be, but at least celebrate
the fact that you are not where you used to be. Do not go through life feeling guilty and unworthy. If we begin saying, “Well, that was true, until now” then what was true before might no longer be. While those two simple words do not guarantee success, they can help you believe that your future can be different from your past. Use them and see yourself shift to a positive, changed behaviour and emotion. After all, it may have been true that you have had trouble changing 0027 your thoughts… until now.
