On Our Cover

As I backed into my driveway the other evening after a busy day at work, I stopped and watched my neighbour’s daughter and her friend sliding down the hill across from my home and I listened to them laughing and having lots of fun. I spoke to them for a few minutes and then continued into my home. Watching and listening to them brought back lots of childhood memories I had of growing up in PEI, when I would go sliding with family and friends. On beautiful weekend days, we would meet after breakfast and go sliding for hours with our toboggans and crazy carpets, normally at a nearby hill next to a nursing home. Not only were we the only ones having fun, many times residents and staff of the nursing home would come out, talk to us and share stories of when they were young and went sliding. Time would pass and we wouldn’t even realize we had missed lunch. Nor would we notice how wet our homemade knitted mitts were that hung on our hands from being so wet, and that our mitts had all those little knobs of snow stuck to them. And of course there were the soaking wet snow pants and boots. We didn’t even notice we were cold, wet, and hungry because of the fun we were having. When we would arrive home tired from a fun day of sliding, my mother would make hot chocolate for us as we took off our wet clothing. Then my parents would sit down and listen to us tell them about how much fun we had that day sliding. Now fast forward to when my husband,

Robert, and I used to take our son, Matthew, sliding at Dutch Point Park. I recall Matthew’s first time sliding, he was about four. My husband took him half way up the hill and I waited at the bottom for him. Down came Matthew on his crazy carpet and all you could hear was him screaming at the top of his lungs the whole way down, “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH”!!! At the bottom of the hill, he jumped up and ran back up repeating as fast as he could, “can I do it again, can I do it again, can I do it again…” until he got back to his father, who put him back on the sled and pushed him back down the hill whereupon he screamed the whole way down and shouted the whole way up, “can I do it again, can I do it again, can I do it again…”. This pattern continued for the rest of the afternoon. When we went home Matthew pulled off his wet clothing while I made hot chocolate. We then cuddled in blankets, sipped our hot chocolate and listened as Matthew told us about his day sliding, as if we hadn’t even been there. From one generation to the next, some things never change. 0001

DOLLaRS & SENSE SURVIVING THE UNEXPECTED There has been a lot of uncertainty in our economy lately. There has been a slowdown out West, closures and lay-offs. The stress of facing the prospect of losing your job or decreasing your income can be overwhelming. If you find yourself in the position of facing lay-off or reduction of family income, do not panic. It is our natural instinct when faced with a financial crisis to try to throw money onto debts and load up the fridge and freezer. You need to wait and digest the news (this is not easy to do when stressed, but you must). You will need to look at your full financial picture before you make your decisions, and it is always wise to collect information from multiple sources. First things first, assess your immediate needs: What are your must pay expenses (mortgage, contracts, insurance, debt obligations)?; What are your expenses you can ‘play’ with and possibly reduce without penalty of fear or default (groceries, cable, phone)?

Once you have made the assessment: Look into your options for adjusting payment schedules to reflect your new income reality (if your are on bi-weekly mortgage payments, you may want to temporarily switch to monthly until you are back to a bi-weekly pay); Look into the insurances on your credit card. You may not be aware you have been paying for insurance; your minimum payments may be covered for loss of employment; Maintain all minimum payments until you have determined if it is viable to pay one off or consolidate. Note on consolidation: Be cautious of making long term decisions on a possible short term situation. In a matter of months you could be called back to work or have made a decision on a different career path; Create a budget for your transition. Going through a loss of employment or income can be all-consuming, it makes it almost impossible to see that in a couple months or a year things will be different. There are circumstances that will call for

more immediate action than others. If you are unable to maintain credit and/or utility payments, you need to seek advice from a non-profit credit counselling agency where you can sit down with a counsellor and go through your financial situation looking at immediate and long-term options on handling those payments.

WHaT’S HaPPENING Q: Should I feel guilty about declaring bankruptcy? A: No, you shouldn’t feel guilty. There are many different reasons that people have to either file for bankruptcy or make a proposal to their creditors. These are typically significant life events over which the person doesn’t have control. Financial difficulty results from job loss, illness, separation or many other life events that can require stretching beyond your means. If you’ve struggled through a difficult situation, the last thing that you need to feel is guilt or fear for trying to find a solution. The purpose of bankruptcy is to provide an honest but unfortunate person with a chance to start over. It is not to judge how they got there. Bankruptcy is a Fresh Start that will enable you to focus on the things that matter; family, health and getting back on your feet. At Grant Thornton we can help get you back on your feet, without judgment. Call us for a free confidential consultation. 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. Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP Vice- President

LIVE WELL CHALLENGING BEHAVIOUR effectively becomes impossible. After exhausting many of the mainstream strategies - such as time-outs or taking privileges - parents may begin to feel overwhelmed, burnt-out and exhausted. A level of desperation can take hold as the child gets older and faces more expectations to self-regulate, problem solve, and be flexible - all while demonstrating a lack of ability to do so. What I am talking about here is a critical skill set called Executive Functioning. It is responsible for self-regulation, flexibility, organization, attention, task initiation, working memory, and problem solving. It is thought to be developed in a brain region called the prefrontal cortex. Under certain circumstances, the process of its development may be delayed or disrupted due to many neurobiological, physiological and environmental influences. Without developing adaptive skills to cope and lacking the fundamental skills to selfregulate or problem-solve effectively, we begin to see these children as a vulnerable group: at risk for maltreatment, out-of-

home placements, school drop-out, social exclusion, anxiety, depression, and even suicide. While the risks are great, the good news is that we can mitigate these risks by promoting the development of these fundamental life skills. We accomplish this by understanding and addressing some of the processes that may have interfered with developing these skills, and attend to the factors that inhibit the child’s ability to apply these skills. In conjunction with Gentle Path Counseling Services, I am offering a 6-week strategy/intervention based course for parents, caregivers and educators working with children with challenging behaviour.

Irritability, meltdowns, resistance, and defiance: we have even given it a name, “the terrible two’s”. But what happens when challenging behaviour still exists at 6, 7, 8… 15 years of age? Then what? Where we once could look at the behaviour empathically as the result of our toddler’s lack of capacity to cope, inability to express his underlying needs and fueled by a lack of language skill to problem solve productively; for older children our empathetic view changes and we begin labeling this challenging behaviour in not so helpful terms. While labels such as those mentioned above are self-limiting, so too are the medical labels which are often given to these children. A diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Conduct Disorder (CD) may help to frame the behaviour within a neurobiological or behavioural model, but by itself it does not offer the strategies to address the behaviour. Without the understanding of the underlying issues that contribute to challenging behaviour, resolving it

aSK THE CHEF THE MAKING OF CORNBREAD Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I was away on vacation to the Caribbean last month and of all the food I tried, it was the cornbread that got most of my attention. Corn bread is a generic name for any sweet bread made with cornmeal. So when someone says “I make the best cornbread.” you should reply “which one.” Native Americans were using corn as food for thousands of years. It was introduced to the rest of the world, once the Europeans finally came over. They would take dried corn and crush it to add to most everything and one of these was bread. Cornbread is a popular item in Southern cooking, enjoyed by many people for its texture and aroma. Cornbread can be baked, fried or, steamed. Steamed cornbread is mushy, chewier and more like cornmeal pudding than what most consider to be traditional cornbread.

Cornbread can also be baked into corn cakes. So how do you make corn bread. Well as there are so many different versions as I said above, I will talk about how I make cornbread. You will need 1 cup of cornmeal 1 cup AP flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter, soft almost melted 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar. this just means to pack it down, not loose. 2 tbls honey 1 large egg 1 cup buttermilk ( you can also use whole milk) 1/3 cup frozen corn kernels. Now it is easy. Add all your dry ingredients together is a bowl; Add all the wet ingredients in a another bowl; Mix both together and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Place in a pan about 8 inch squared and

cook at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. remove and serve. Corn bread is always best served hot or warm. If you do not eat it all, you can reheat your cornbread by wrapping it in foil and placing it in a hot oven or microwave for about 30 seconds. You can also play with this recipe by adding other things to your cornbread. You can add cheese if you were having pasta or chopped jalapeños to give it some heat. You can add anything that comes to mind and I think this is what I like best about corn bread. It is so versatile that you can create a great number of different breads, making this another living recipe that can change to fit into your meal. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

All of us are aging, whether we wish to acknowledge it or not. And while we cannot slow the actual passage of time there are, however, many things we can do that will affect how old we actually feel. The two main concerns shared by most people when they consider their future years are not death and taxes but rather declining physical and mental ability. The good news is that no matter what your current age any positive changes you make today will pay back in a healthier future.

As to the senior discounts, well a gal (or guy) would be just plum crazy to pass up a discount because of not wanting to identify as “of a certain age”.

Dr. Paul Tournier said, “Most illnesses do not, as is generally thought, come like a bolt out of the blue. The ground is prepared for years through faulty diet, intemperance, overwork, and moral conflicts, slowly eroding the subject’s vitality.” Every day we make dozens of decisions which impact on our health,

but generally we are not even conscious of doing so. Grabbing that doughnut instead of taking a minute for a proper breakfast, taking the elevator instead of the stairs, scarfing down a bag of chips for break instead of bringing an apple from home, all of these things gradually add up. There is no question that two key factors for a healthy future are diet and exercise. Eating a healthy diet with lots of whole grains, lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and not overdoing the “treats”, will provide all the necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy body. Add a daily dose of physical activity, incorporating a range of different activities to maintain and/or increase strength and flexibility, and set you on the way to a attaining/ maintaining a healthy weight. One great idea is a daily walk

with a friend or partner, which has the added benefit of hitting one of the other key ingredients to healthy aging, sociability. Numerous studies have shown that staying engaged with a circle of friends and family contributes immensely to enjoyment of life at any age, but is especially important as we age. Staying connected by continuing to work, volunteering, and engaging in activities with friends not only helps you maintain good physical and emotional health but also memory and cognitive function. One health issue that can severely affect quality of life as we age is hearing loss. For those of us who enjoyed more than our share of rock concerts in our youth, hearing loss should come as no surprise. And since the loss is gradual, you may not realize that you have lost some of your ability to hear.

There are many aspects to staying healthy as we age. One surprising link may be that between dental health and heart health. Although the link is not completely clear, there is some evidence that gum disease is a risk factor for coronary artery disease. The research isn’t strong enough to conclude that gum disease treatment will lessen the risk of heart attack or stroke but why take a chance. If you have moderate to severe gum disease and a known risk factor for heart disease (for instance you smoke), a visit to your doctor for a cardiac evaluation would be wise. Staying on top of health issues is important

at any age, but becomes even more so as the years add up. Sleep issues tend to become more prevalent as we age, starting as early as our 40’s. Lack of sleep contributes to many health problems. In fact, according to the Harvard Medical School, studies show that sleeping less than five hours a night increases the risk of death from all causes by about 15 percent. And certainly quality of life will be adversely affected, with such things as memory issues, weakened immune system and increased risk of chronic health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease,

Ensuring you engage in some type of exercise during the day, see at least a few hours of daylight each day, and maintain a regular sleep schedule are the quick fixes, but if you still feel tired during the day a visit with your doctor or a sleep clinic is a good idea.

early to make these decisions/ arrangements and can save our families a great deal of stress at a difficult time. Dr. Bill Thomas, a Harvard Medical School-trained physician and professor at the University of Maryland Baltimore County’s Erickson School of Aging, is trying to change people's attitudes about aging. He will tell you we are lucky if we have the chance to grow old; that there is a third stage to living, beyond childhood and adulthood, which can be just as rewarding in its own unique way. Denying our age is a futile effort. Study after study has shown that feeling old is a state of mind more than a state of body and that you can choose to have a positive attitude about growing older. So the next time you have an opportunity for a senior discount . . . step up proudly and claim your age, confident you are doing great. THE GIFT WRAP & THE JEWEL I looked in the mirror, and what did I see? But a little old lady, peering back at me. With bags and sags and wrinkles, and wispy white hair And I asked my reflection, how did you get there? You once were straight and vigorous, and now you're stooped and weak When I tried so hard to stop you, from becoming an antique. My reflection's eyes twinkled, and she solemnly replied You're looking at the gift wrap and not the jewel inside. A living gem and precious, of unimagined worth Unique and true, the real you, the only you on earth. The years that spoil your gift wrap, with other things more cruel Should purify, and strengthen, and polish up that jewel.

So focus your attention on the inside, not the out On being kinder, wiser, more content and more devout. Then, when your gift wrap's stripped away, your jewel will be set free To radiate God's glory, throughout eternity. Author: Wanda Goines, age 92

GROW YOUR COMMUNITY AND IT WILL GROW FOR YOU! As with everyone else in the area, the members of the Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Association were saddened by the news of the Potash mine closure. We are very concerned for the over 400 individuals who have lost their employment and the impact that this will have on their families. We are also concerned for all of the local businesses that will be negatively affected. In reality, every person in Sussex and the surrounding area will feel a direct or indirect impact in some way by this closure. We realize that there may be businesses that will not survive this closure. The full impact will not be known until a careful analysis has been made and time has passed. However, it is apparent that there will be difficult days ahead for a number of local business. As overwhelming and dire as this situation appears, we need to look at the good that can come from this. In this very tough time with an uncertain future, we have to take control of our own community resources and make

our own outcome. Now is the time to come together, as we know Sussex people can, and help each other. We need to promote shopping locally, using local services and perhaps most importantly of all, entice new businesses and manufacturers to the Sussex area so that those several hundred people have a chance to stay in Sussex. This has been a topic of conversation for a very long time, and this may just be the spark that ignites the passion in Sussex to make things happen. Sussex is so uniquely placed in NB and the Maritimes. No other community can boast being centrally located between three major cities; Saint John, Moncton, and Fredericton. This is an ideal spot for businesses that would like to service these three areas. We need to promote this idea near and far. There is development land for sale in high traffic areas, and also in the industrial parks. There are many talented people who have gained years of experience and training while working at the mine.

FaMILy MaTTERS BLOCKS, BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND MAPS Spatial skills - the ability to understand and mentally manipulate shapes and figures - is required in science, technology, medicine, sports and mathematics. Developing and strengthening children’s spatial abilities can be done through play in a variety of ways. 1. Use Spatial Language. The use of spatial words - words that describe the spatial properties of objects - help infants and toddlers to develop their spatial skills. Try using words such as big, small, bent, thick, empty, flat or round when playing with your children. 2. Use Everyday Opportunities To Practice. Spatial tasks are everywhere. Challenge your kiddos spatially by asking questions like: Will all those toys fit in that one box? Does the left shoelace go over or under? What shapes do you get if you cut a sandwich in half (lengthwise or crosswise)? 3. Use Construction Games. Construction games challenge kids to recreate a design

from a picture or model. The picture or model becomes the “blueprint" for the structure they build. At home, parents can use wooden blocks, play dough, Legos, logs, sticks, Tinker Toys, jigsaw puzzles and Tetris games to develop visual spatial thinking skills. 4. Use Maps. Most kids are ready to learn simple lessons about maps by the age of 3 or 4 years. Have your children interpret the map of Canada or the house floor plan. Use the map to have them show you where they live. Use the floor plan to show where the living room is in relation to their room. Older children may be able to handle more information. Use maps and floor plans to describe the distances between three or more points and your children’s relationship to those points. 5. Use Photography. Photography encourages kids to experiment with an object from different angles, distances and orientations. 6. Use Books. Parents can support their

children’s spatial abilities by reading spatially challenging picture books. Spatially focused books examine scenes from various locations or perspectives using maps or detailed illustrations. There are many spatial books available for all ages, for example: Yellow Ball, by Molly Bang (ages 1-3); You Are Not Small, by Anna Kang and Christopher Weyant (ages 2-6); Follow That Map by Scot Ritchie (ages 3-5); Lucy in the City, by Julie Dillemuth (ages 4-8), and; Actual Size, by Steve Jenkins (ages 4-9). This week enjoy the parenting journey and find fun creative ways to help develop your children’s spatial reasoning skills. 0006

AUXILIARY DONATION TO KIWANIS The members of the Sussex Health Centre Auxiliary are pleased to announce that their organization is making a $30,000 donation to the Kiwanis Nursing Home Foundation “A Place to Call Home” capital renovation campaign. “The Sussex Health Centre Auxiliary has a long history of financially supporting the Kiwanis Nursing Home,” explained A Place to Call Home Campaign Co-Chair Keri Marr, “they have partnered with the Nursing Home in past years to renovate our beauty salon and purchase furniture and equipment.

The Auxiliary raises funds to support the Sussex Health Centre and Kiwanis Nursing Home, as well as provide bursaries to health care students.

Sandra Murphy, “and that the profits realized at this shop support our local Health Centre and Nursing Home.” “We are very appreciative of the donation from this group of dedicated community volunteers,” said Campaign Co-Chair Keri Marr. “This commitment from the Sussex Health Centre Auxiliary brings our Campaign total to more than $100,000 which is an important milestone for us.” Anyone interested in finding out more about the A Place to Call Home capital renovation campaign can contact Kiwanis Nursing Home or visit: kiwanisnursinghome.com. 3935

LISTEN IN ETHAN ASH LOVES NEW BRUNSWICK Ethan ash is a twenty something singer/ songwriter making big waves in the UK and has recently been in the KV area enjoying our New Brunswick winter; snowshoeing, performing live and even making video’s. I met up with him the other day for a bit of a chat and we even went skating at the Q-Plex in Quispamsis. After all he never went skating before! What could go wrong? My daughter Sarah (thanks!) lent him skates and we hit the ice. It turns out he is a natural on the ice as well as writing infectious soonto-be pop hits! I was curious; how did Ethan develop this endearing relationship with us? “A lady from England called Lynne Nash had seen me play several times in the UK and sent some song links to a friend of hers who lives in Quispamsis, a lady called Mary Ann Johnson. Mary Ann subsequently visited England for a holiday and a surprise solo show was arranged for her: it was the first time Mary Ann and I met. Thereafter, both Lynne and Mary Ann became close friends. Mary Ann invited Lynne, my girlfriend

(Georgia) and myself to visit New Brunswick for several weeks in January 2015. It was a very special time, not least because I had to shoot a last minute video for a song I was releasing called ‘Chasing Your Love’. But most of all I realised that New Brunswick is a special place, populated by special people. I genuinely love the place and if I could I would spend a lot more time here. We returned in January this year. One year without New Brunswick was far too long.” Ethan told me enthusiastically. I wanted to know what some of his most memorable moments have been since visiting our lovely part of the world? “I know a lot of you guys get bored of the snow and the cold but I'm like a child when I come here as I've never seen so much snow and experienced cold like it. I’ve loved snow since I was a baby so it makes me happy. I snowshoed for the first time this year, made me even happier to be on snowshoes in the snow. I’ve been to numerous ice hockey games. I had never watched the game before coming to New Brunswick but

it's fair to say I love it: even got the shirt. I think one of my favourite memories from my trip this year was all the music stuff I've been able to do, for example being invited into CBC; playing a gig at Plan B in Moncton; doing an interview on the ice rink for “The Jeff Liberty Show” ( Jeff - I’m blushing) and getting to play down at AJ's open mic night. Oh. And of course, Tim Hortons. “I plan to return to New Brunswick in September to play a tour. I would love to include other areas of Canada so we’ll be working hard in the next few months to book gigs and make it happen.” Ethan elaborates on when asked about his much anticipated return!

HAMPTON CURL FOR CANCER Come out for a day of curling, prizes, tasty refreshments and fun during the annual Hampton Curl for Cancer on Saturday, March 12 at the Hampton Curling Club. “It's going to be a lot of fun, said Alice Kennedy, one of the organizers of the event which raises money for the Canadian Cancer Society. “Please consider forming a team or making a

donation to someone who is on a team. We all know someone fighting cancer.” This will be Mrs. Kennedy’s first year organizing the Hampton Curl for Cancer. Her husband, Bruce, who is a member of the Hampton Curling Club, asked her to help one night after a meeting at the club. She immediately said yes. “I had been active as a volunteer when our girls attended school in the community but that stopped when they graduated,” Mrs. Kennedy said. “The combination of my campaigning door-to-door for the Canadian Cancer Society and my rector David Turner encouraging us to be visible in the community sealed the deal. I have a long history of organizing and really enjoy it!” Mrs. Kennedy also volunteers because she believes strongly in the cancer cause. “Needless to say I have had several very close relatives and friends lose their battle with the disease so funding for a cure is imperative!” All are welcome to participate. To register a team or for more information, please call Jill Russell at 634-6263. 3924

VISITOR TO FEEDER IN SUSSEX I have been fortunate to have this young Red Headed Woodpecker coming to my backyard feeders in Sussex. When he first arrived in late November his head was mostly greyish in color and it took some time to figure out what type of bird it was. Over the past several weeks I've watched as the bright red head feathers have filled in. He's a fun bird to watch - very sassy and noisy, although I've seen the Starlings chase him away at times too.

HIGH SCHOOL “SUPER CHALLENGE” Calling all high school students - it’s time to dream big, get creative, and use technology to change the world! Brilliant Labs, CHAT to the Future, the CBDC, and Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge are joining forces to help students come up with a big idea to win the Student Superpower Challenge. Three (3) student teams, or individuals, from New Brunswick will win up to $5,000 in supports to help develop their idea into a working app, prototype or service. The three (3) selected finalists will also bypass the YEC regionals and head straight to the provincial Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge in May. Students are invited to use technology to create innovative solutions to realworld problems in one of four categories: Our Community, Our People, Our Environment, Our Style. No need to complicate things! Solve a problem with

an idea and explain why you’re solving it, how you’re solving it, who it will help, and why you feel you can do it! High School Students in New Brunswick have until March 4 to submit their idea through the superpowerchallenge.ca website.
