The Sussex Herald
For as long as I can remember I have loved the written word. In fact, Mom told me that as young as a few months old I would sit with rapt attention, listening as she read to me. Some of my earliest memories include books, whether listening to a bedtime story before begging for just one more, or going to the library, feeling like I had entered my second home as I wandered through the stacks. Growing up, I was rarely without a book, carrying one wherever I went. Whether classics, like “Anne of Green Gables” and “Little Women”, or contemporary like “The Babysitters Club” series, I read constantly. As I got older, my teachers often encouraged me to branch out, try something different and broaden my mind, but for me books were an enjoyable escape, not something to be taken seriously. I was able to score top marks in English class by spouting back what the teacher wanted to hear, but I was already moving on to the next story, without fully digesting the previous. Although I read, and enjoyed “Wuthering Heights” and “Oliver Twist” I was much less interested in the analysis of the story than I was with the imagery created. Whether feeling chilled as the author described the isolated windswept Moors of the “Heights” to becoming hungry as Oliver begged for just a little more gruel I was fascinated by the way words could fit together on a page to create a picture so vivid I could not only see it in my mind’s eye, but feel it as well. I am always interested in finding a new world to explore and characters to love. I have explored secret gardens and wandered through forbidding
manor homes, gotten lost in the wilds of a concrete jungle and found justice in a southern Courtroom. Whether an elaborate Elizabethan Court filled with intrigue or modern hospital mired by politics, with the right words, either can be populated by fascinating, lovable and loathsome characters interacting to create a story so powerful it can transport the reader to another place. As an adult, my time for reading has been curtailed by other commitments and I have become very choosy about what I read. That is not to say that I have limited the style or content I will read so much as I want to know I am going to be “wowed” by the story in which I choose to invest my time. I want to be made to think about the characters and their message long after I have finished the last chapter. Oddly enough, some twenty years after my English teach first started telling me that simply reading for the sake of reading isn’t enough I now understand how much more can be found in a story if one takes the time to appreciate every nuance behind the words. I still love being transported to another time and place, but now I also lose myself in the characterseven those that are on first glance unlikeable, and find the journey even more enjoyable. 0001

IN THE GARDEN Rain, rain, come & stay Brian Brett wrote that Gardening is a profession of hope..... How true, since the last really tangible downpour of rain on June 1st, my hopes have been raised by every passing dark cloud; passing being the operative word since they scudded by, dropping barely enough precious water to dampen the surface; the situation is very serious and we are powerless to make rain. However there’s quite a bit that we can do to assist our plantings to survive; it is clear that, despite Mr Trump’s protestations, this problem is here to stay! First thing to combat drought is to make sure that the soil you plant in is of the best quality possible, I mix a bag of really good black earth with half a bag of packaged manure and five good shovels worth of peat moss, mixed together and incorporated into the soil, this makes for a healthy start, adding bone meal to the bottom of the hole when planting will encourage strong roots that will reach far down for water and you are
away to the races! But what if you missed the opportunity in the spring and many plants are overstressed now? It is obvious that if you get out all the weeds ASAP, their ration of water will be available for the plants you cherish; the same soil mixture as described above can be spread around as a top dressing and is far better for the garden than Cedar mulch, when the drought is as severe as this one, believe me there’s very little moisture available to plants beneath it and the harmful pests that live under the mulch will be actively attacking the roots for their share of moisture. I do use mulch on my pathways and have checked...bone dry underneath. I have done a huge amount of pruning, (the dear chaps who pick up for Crane Mountain are considering a truck just for me!) By reducing the amount of foliage that a planting has to maintain one is also reducing dramatically the amount of water that the plant will need to survive
and the results of the pruning can be dramatic. I have just done a major job on my rather sad looking Magnolia and after just one week, it has burst into abundant blossoms. Roses have responded the same way, by cutting back on the older canes, they have produced new shoots loaded with buds and blooms and the rich earth mixture that now surrounds them is working its magic.

UNFILTERED three COMMON WINE MYTHS DEBUNKED I have always believed that there is no such thing as a stupid question, especially when it comes to wine. There are, however, a few misconceptions that I have heard so many times, I feel it necessary to set the record straight. The first myth is that only cheap wines have screw caps. While this may have been slightly true 20 years ago, today this couldn’t be more wrong. Many very reputable winemakers have switched to screw caps as they are so much easier and cost effective to use. They eliminate the possibility of a wine becoming ‘corked’ which costs winemakers a lot of money as it occurs in approximately 5% of wines. I predict that 20 years from now corks will be obsolete. Myth #2 is that wine gets better with age. Again, a few decades back wine was made with the intention that it would be aged prior to being opened. Nowadays 95% of the wines available are ready to drink. Only about 5% would benefit
Date: Date:
from extensive aging, and these wines tend to be very pricey. I have had many disappointed clients who have mentioned to me that they purchased a $20.00 bottle of wine that they have been saving for 18 years to drink at their child’s graduation. It breaks my heart to tell them that chances are that wine is now turned to vinegar. When in doubt ask a wine professional whether or not the wine in meant to be laid down. The next myth is a personal irk of mine. There are many myths surrounding the ‘wine headache’. Most people believe that it is either caused by the tannins in their wine or by sulfites. It is true that tannins may give you a headache when you drink a full bodied red when you are not accustomed to it, to these people I say; ‘try and try again’, but the most common misconception is surrounding sulfites. A large portion of the population believes that they are allergic to sulfites. According to the American Medical Association,

this is only true for about 0.4% of the population. Sulfites are a naturally occurring byproduct of fermentation. They are present in all alcoholic beverages. They are also present in much higher quantities in many foods. If you are allergic to sulfites, you are probably also allergic to most dried foods, and especially dried fruit. If you believe you are allergic consult with your doctor. That being said, eat, drink and be merry, and when in doubt ask a professional. 0042

ASK MARY WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS? I’m a recent widow to three well educated children. I become overwhelmed with immense anxiety and panic when I don’t hear from them. Why do I feel like this? The question is more "why wouldn't you feel like that?" I would be more concerned if you wrote to me that you had no feelings and didn't care about anything. We need to feel and as widows those feeling can be extremely emotional, but it's better to be feeling than to be completely numb and dead inside. Ten years ago this month, my husband died in front of our daughter and I. She was in early twenties full of life but afterwards she was fearful of losing me and was too close to me. After two years I knew I had to set her free so she could live on her own and have a normal life in her twenties. I sold the house and moved so she had to get her own place. I also had anxiety when I didn’t hear from her, but those were my fears and I didn't want them to become her fears. It's been seven years and she is got married this summer to a lovely man. If I hadn't controlled my fears I would still have a daughter living at home, a daughter that stopped growing. A child that never becomes independent is a fear that all parents share. There is no sure way to keep our children safe, but if we do the best we can, they will grow up as mature, capable and caring people. Then we have done our job. Also, for me passing my fears on with some prayers helped lessen my
anxiety. Sounds like you have done a great job, so worry (it's natural) but don't panic. It’s normal when we lose our spouse to lean on our grown children and thank goodness we have their support. But in time your broken heart will start to heal and you will start being busy enough that you won’t be waiting to hear from them – the roles may even be reversed and they will be wondering what you’re up to. Hope this helps and also, one of the best things for your children, is for them to have a mother with her own passions to pursue, so take care of yourself first. For more support please go to my website/blog at thesisterhoodofwidows.com or follow my Facebook page. Please email your questions to: mary@ thesisterhoodofwidows.com. 0016

Kick Off To Fall
There is a time in the last few days of summer when the ripeness of autumn fills the air. ~ Rudolfo Anaya We have ‘sprung’ into Spring and now we ‘Kick Off’ into fall – for some almost literally kicking and screaming all the way. For others it is a transition – summer was great, people had vacations, students of all ages got a break from school – and now it is time to get back into a routine. Some look forward to fall – clear cool days, spectacular foliage, fall fairs, hunting, local clubs and community groups starting up again – the list goes on. Many

Gardeners of flowers also look forward to Fall. Summer is a busy time, pulling weeds, deadheading, keeping ahead of destructive bugs and this summer – watering. Now is the perfect time to scheme, oops ‘plan’, for possible bulbs to plant before freeze-up and where they should go. It is also a great time to sit on the deck and mentally sketch out a few changes to the flower bed(s) – never hurts to plan ahead for a few additions and move something to make space available. Don’t forget to plan outside events - Fall fairs, our own Balloon Fiesta, hunting expos and for the equestrian enthusiast, take in the last of the shows or trials – all opportunities to get out and enjoy the season. And speaking of fall events – you won’t want to miss the old tradition of late summer and fall church/community suppers; a great way to taste the best of local culinary skills and meet old friends or make new ones, while supporting local groups. Enroute you might be lucky enough to come on a great yard sale, full of treasures you’ve been looking for – or didn’t realize you were looking for. Every season has a quality that appeals to us at different levels; Fall is no exception, so much is new, the air is fresh and colours amazing – enjoy.

For all middle and high school students, there will be a ‘transition day’ with only grades 6 and 9 attending on September 5.

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE HELPING CANADIANS WITH DISABILITIES SAVE Thousands of Canadians have opened a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) since the program was introduced in 2008. Thousands more who qualify have not. Here’s what you need to know. An RDSP is a federal government savings program that encourages parents and others to save for the long-term financial security of a disabled person who is eligible for the Federal Disability Tax Credit (DTC). The beneficiary and/or their family and friends can contribute to an RDSP and any investment growth and income those contributions generate will accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. Contributions are not tax-deductible but can be made by anyone authorized by the holder of the plan up to maximum lifetime contributions of $200,000 per beneficiary. The Canada Disability Savings Grants (CDSG) is a matching program where a grant of up to 300% of contributions is available, depending on the amount

The Sussex Herald
contributed and the family income of the beneficiary. The maximum annual grant room generated per year is $3,500, to a lifetime maximum of $70,000 received per beneficiary. The Canada Disability Savings Bond (CDSB) is available to low and modest income Canadians irrespective of plan contributions. The maximum annual bond room generated per year is $1,000, to a lifetime maximum of $20,000 received per beneficiary. When money is paid from an RDSP to the disabled beneficiary, it is called a Disability Assistance Payment (DAP). DAPs are one-time, but are restricted where the plan value consists primarily of government-funded benefits. Lifetime Disability Assistance Payments (LDAPs) are annual payments that must begin no later than the end of the calendar year in which the beneficiary turns age 60. The portion of the DAP that relates to regular contributions is non-taxable. The rest, which relates to the federal contributions (CDSB and CDSG) and income or
growth from the RDSP account, will be taxed as income to the beneficiary. Except in cases where the beneficiary has a diminished life expectancy, RDSP withdrawals will result in a proportional repayment of CDSG and CDSB paid into the plan in the 10 years preceding the withdrawal. The best strategy: start contributing early and leave the money in the plan for at least 10 years. DAPs do not affect eligibility for Canada Pension Plan Disability benefits or federal incometested benefits, and most provincial and territorial social assistance programs exempt RDSPs/ DAPs from their asset and income eligibility tests. 0036 See full article at: osskeag.ca
