Nesting, nurseries and getting ready for baby. As I'm sure any other first time parent can attest, surviving the third trimester is a feat in and of itself. Or at least, that is how it seems as we enter week 39 of our pregnancy. (And yes - it is certainly “our” pregnancy no matter that I'm the one carrying the baby. How our significant others handle the mood swings, cravings, hormones and general craziness of 9 months of getting ready for baby without the joy of feeling baby kick I will never know! I would much rather deal with the morning sickness for 32 straight weeks then be on the other side of the door wishing I could shoulder some of the discomfort to no avail.) Over the past few weeks we have made our home “baby ready”. My OCD kicked in full force about the time we started planning our nursery and the house has never been so clean or organized. There have been many days that Kevin will come home from work to find dirty floors, a sink full of dishes and no supper plans, but me just sooooo proud of my accomplishments for the day. On three separate occasions I reorganized the kitchen to better suit my mostly imagined needs. I also became obsessed with completing the “deep clean” and scrubbed floors with a hand held brush before mopping “just to be thorough”. Our wrapping paper has been sorted by special occasion, our junk drawer cleaned and labeled and every conceivable surface wiped down at least once. I love having a clean home, but this whole “nesting” instinct
is rather exhausting! On the other hand, considering the sheer amount of “stuff ” that a new baby brings to a home, nesting is likely necessary to help prepare the space to keep everything at a time when rolling over in bed can seem an Olympic task. I love our little nursery. A bright and welcoming room furnished with my grandmother's rocking chair and dressers and decorated with mementos from my and Kevin's childhoods. My Little Pony and Secret Keepers share space with stuffed cows and wooden air planes- the perfect combination of Kevin's world and mine- hopefully baby Crealock will grow to appreciate and love these items as much as we did. The Crealock family cradle is all set and ready for use in the living room while a sweet little bassinet is just waiting for baby in our room. All in all, sleepless nights, morning sickness and crazed hormones included at 39 weeks and counting I have enjoyed my pregnancy. Now hurry up Baby Crealock - Mommy and Daddy can’t wait to meet you! 0001

HOSPICE SUSSEX Hospice Sussex hosted a one-day workshop entitled “Grief & End of Life Care ” on Tuesday, June 6. The workshop, held at Kingswood University, was facilitated by Vincent MacDonald from Nova Scotia who is an experienced educator, facilitator and grief counselor who has companioned grieving youth, parents, families, schools, and communities. He shared his message of hope and renewal to all caregivers. This workshop was designed for family caregivers, healthcare providers, hospice volunteers, and the general public who has been or will be involved with end of life care, either personally or professionally. This workshop was made possible, in part, from a $2500 grant received from the Sussex Area Community Foundation. Many thanks to the Foundation for feeling we were worthy of this grant. If you or anyone you know would benefit from our many services please contact us by phone, 432-5001 or email, hospicesx@nb.aibn.com.
TRIBUTE BANNERS FOR NORTON We are finally able to embark on our project to Honour our Veterans in Norton with Tribute Banners that will hang on the utility poles from October to the middle of November. The 2 foot by 4 foot banners are a tribute to our Veterans, both past and present. They may be sponsored by family and/or friends for the amount of $250. They are a way for us to proudly display the admiration we feel for those who serve our country; who have given of themselves, put themselves in harm's way and stood strong to give each of us the freedom and peace we enjoy today. If you are interested in purchasing a banner, please contact Sandra at 433-4965 to reserve a banner and to receive your application form that needs to be filled out with the required information about the Veteran, how they served and the conflict (WWI, WWII, Korean, Afghanistan, etc.) We are only allowed to install 20 banners this year and our deadline to receive all information is August 10th. 4610

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE SMART STRATEGIES FOR RESP WITHDRAWALS This September you’ll be sending your child off to college or university for the first time. Fortunately, you’ve been saving diligently in a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) so there should be enough money to cover most if not all of their education and living expenses. But, after saving for so many years, you should make the most of those RESP dollars with these smart withdrawal strategies. An RESP can be used for 35 years from the day it’s opened, so don’t be in a hurry to liquidate its assets. If your child chooses a four-year undergrad, then use the money within four years. If your child opts for medical school, consider spacing it out over several additional years. You may want to hold off or reduce withdrawals if your child has other sources of education funds, such as a scholarship or money saved from a summer job, in order to increase the potential for taxdeferred growth in the plan. There are three types of money in an
RESP – the contributions you put in, government grants and bonds, and the income or gains generated from your investments. While contributions can be withdrawn tax-free, grant money and plan income are taxable to the recipient. Education Assistance Payments will be taxed as part of your child’s income, and if it’s low, that grant, bond, and income could be received effectively tax-free. However, if you think your child will earn a salary before they’re finished using their RESP, it could make sense to make Education Assistance Payments early when they’re in a lower tax bracket. You’ll need some money immediately, but if your child is planning on going to school for several years, you’ll also need to continue growing those savings. Money you intend to withdraw from the RESP in the very near future should be transferred into short-term investments like Money Market Funds or redeemable Guaranteed Income Certificates (GICs). Funds not
needed for a few years can stay invested a mix of mutual funds, stocks, and bonds. If your child decides not to go to school, contributions, and sometimes plan income may be returned to the RESP subscriber, or the RESP can be transferred to another child. Clearly, withdrawing isn’t as easy as straightforward as it may seem. Talk to your professional advisor about the best approach for your family. 0036 Edited for space. See Full article at osskeag.ca

IN THE GARDEN EVERYTHING’S COMING UP ROSES Everything’s coming up Roses, Stephen Sondheim got it right! If we are to get the longest display possible a simple, delightful action is of number one priority; deadheading! This is such a joy and I take the opportunity, both morning and evening during the cooler parts of the day, to wander with small secateurs and snip off all the spent blooms; the fragrance in the early morning just can’t help but start the day on an almost spiritual high and at nightfall...well what better way to fall asleep with all that beauty filling your mind and as you empty the spent flowers on your compost container you are filled with wonder at the bounty that has been and will continue to be yours! Speaking of composting; there are many gardeners who view this process with all the integrity and scholarship of a scientist, layering detritus in an organized manner and dutifully stirring, rotating and moving the stuff around. I have found however that that process is a bit of a make work project and choose the lazy lady’s route! I have three bins made of wooden planks four foot long, placed into slotted metal posts which are designed for this very purpose, making a four foot cube. The first bin is filled up during year one with absolutely anything that will rot, the addition of manure, of any animal that is not human, canine or feline can be added with great advantage, either farm fresh, rotted or bagged and that will speed up the process quite a lot. At the end of the year the bin is
totally abandoned for three years; then, the now transformed content can be scooped up and used as potting soil, top dressing or simply dug into the garden plot and the plants will romp along to the finish line, big, beautiful, bounty to boast about. Repeat with bins two and three on successive years and you may never have to buy top soil again. The next blossoms on the market will be the wide variety of Day Lilies; their season, because of the large number of cultivars, can give blooms from early July until frost and the range of colour available is extensive...but, day is the operative word here, these lovelies need daily attention and unless they are dead headed every day their capacity to flourish will diminish with each passing day of neglect. If dealt with as they deserve, the garden will not be without glorious colour from here to post frost time; worth a bit of effort to guarantee a continuous array of blooms….. Happy hunting, Blessings, Betty. 0039 Edited for space. See full article at: ossekeag.ca

Families for 2016/2017
ROOTS OF EMPATHY The 2017 Roots of Empathy Year End Celebration was recently held at Hampton Elementary School. 14 “tiny teachers” and their families attended along with classroom teachers, principals, instructors and community volunteers. Roots of Empathy has reached over 20,000 children since its launch in 2002-2003 in New Brunswick. The heart of Roots of Empathy is the neighbourhood parent and infant who join the instructor in the classroom for family visits. An instructor visits the classroom 27 times over the school year and for nine of the visits the Roots of Empathy family joins the instructor in the classroom. In the Anglophone School District, Saint John and Hampton Education Centres, 25 classes had Roots of Empathy offered in their classroom during the 20162017 school year. In the short term, Roots of Empathy focuses on raising levels of empathy, resulting in more respectful and caring relationships and reduced levels of bullying and aggression. Students learn about neuroscience and experience baby development and growth over that first year. Info: rootsofempathy. org. 4614

Thirteen years ago Eric Mullin was diagnosed with cancer.

CLASS OF 1947 On Saturday June 24 a small but enthusiastic group of 1947 Sussex High School Graduates gathered at JJ’s restaurant in Sussex to celebrate an amazing 70th anniversary of this lifechanging event in their lives. We were a bit greyer in the hair now, heavier in the waistlines and less likely to try to lick our weight in wildcats. But we thoroughly enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon reminiscing about the good old days in the old Sussex High School, our teachers and our fellow students. We compared notes about our grandchildren, our lifestyles, and other significant activities in our lives. We paid tribute to the memories of the dozen or so of our classmates who had passed away since our last reunion five years ago, as well as to those of our number whose health or other difficulties prevented them from joining us on that day. One of our absentee classmates very thoughtfully arranged for each of us to receive a beautiful red rose in lieu of her presence. The escort of another of those
present took several photos of the group as a lasting memento of our day. JJ’s catered a fine dinner to climax a great day. Before we separated after dinner, our secretary, Audrey (Campbell) Sponagle, received a well-deserved vote of thanks for the way she has kept in touch over all these year, kept track of our moves and the inevitable obituary notices, as well as being a key member of the group organizing our reunions over the years. As we parted ways, we hoped we could follow our established tradition of meeting every five years and meet again in 2022 for our 75th - stay tuned. 4622

ASK MARY CUSTOMS OF THE PAST I was wondering how the customs of the past comforted people? And what has happened now that so many customs are things of the past? In the twentieth century we saw the ending of some of our mourning customs and for some decades it seemed that outward observances of grief had died. People still grieve, of course, but as privately and invisibly as possible. But having said that I have noticed that although old customs (such as laying out a person at home) have vanished, new customs have come up. The outpouring of flowers, poems, homemade signs and celebration of life suggest that many customs have become more personal. For some there are contemporary support groups, Internet mourning sites and shelves of self-help books about grieving - these can fill in for the loss of some traditional customs. For me I find that some of the mourning customs make psychological sense and
yet others make no immediate sense or even seem distasteful to me. But, when traditions crop up again and again it suggests that they are critical in how we handle our grief. We may observe certain customs – wearing dark clothes to the funeral, speaking only about their good qualities, holding a wake, erecting a tombstone, all because it helps us to show our love and respect. Most mourners feel compelled to do something to recognize the end of life. The best known custom is the wake of two or three days, where the community comes to say farewell and to offer support to the family. There is very little research conclusively demonstrating that one particular mourning practice produces a better grief outcome than another. The truth seems to be that as long as a community supports the mourner in its particular traditions/ customs, whatever they are, the result is more likely to be good than bad. Saying farewell to your loved one is a healthy custom. It confirms the end of
their life and concludes the relationship we shared with them. No matter what customs are used or not used, mourning is compulsory. You may put it off or deny it, but eventually you must do it. Failure to mourn will make you sick, emotionally and probably physically. I remember reading this and I truly believe it – “Time doesn’t heal, Grieving heals.” Please email me your questions: mary@ thesisterhoodofwidows.com 0016

Happy
New Brunswick Day! THE BEAUTY OF NEW BRUNSWICK A boat riding the waves with wind in its sails. A lion across the top; dancing in yellow, orange and red. Fierce and adventurous with a go anywhere, do anything attitude: the symbol of our province. New Brunswick is recognized across Canada as the heart of the Maritimes; chock full of seaside culture and charming eastern hospitality. Everywhere we go and everything we do is a showcase of our big personalities and fun loving nature. New Brunswick takes the crowd by storm, but how did we get here?
Ever since day one, New Brunswickers have been hot-wired to be risk takers. We don’t ask if something is possible until after we’ve done it and settle only for the best. Leading the pack and setting high standards for other Canadian provinces to follow is second-nature to us. For instance, New Brunswick was the first bilingual province in the country, and remains the only one. It is a common practice among businesses to have at least one bilingual employee, giving the option to the customer to use their language of preference. This shows a move towards a
more inclusive provincial community. New Brunswick also takes the cake in embracing our First Nations communities. Both the provincial government and smaller independent companies offer many opportunities to learn of the heritage of First Nations people from the First Nations themselves. One example is Kouchibouguac National Park located just south of Miramichi. Established in 1969 and meaning “river of the long tides”, this beautiful beach front paradise is known for scenic beaches, extensive walking and biking trails and is home to the Mi’kmaq. Members of this First Nations group hold a presentation, arts and crafts, story-telling and guided walks through the trails, giving the park visitors insight into the culture and traditions that many have overlooked. Our province has also had a hand in

shaping the world as a whole. Look to John Peters Humphrey, from little old Hampton. Bullied from a young age about his missing arm, it was this man who authored the first draft of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He was one of the first true role models for people to follow, and maybe the most overlooked part about John Peters Humphrey, he did all of his studies right here in New Brunswick! Another piece of our province that is rarely noticed is our food industry. Food production in the area is immense and global demand is higher than ever. New Brunswick is home to a thriving seafood industry that is incredibly well known elsewhere in the world. Our lobster is shipped across the globe with people willing to pay top dollar, and no one has better scallops than those in Bouctouche. It’s genuinely incredible that we think of Spain, France and Italy as home of the most wanted food imports and yet here is our seafood right up there with them! It sometimes slips our minds that the region of the Chickadee was one of the four founding provinces of the original Canada, making the province 150 years old. With an age like that one would think that we would be stuck in our ways, an
endless pane of boring greys and whites with no joy anymore, but no; instead we stand proud with our incredible culture. New Brunswick holds one of the craziest festivals in the east: Buskers by the Bay. This festival is hosted every year in Saint John and is a must see for everyone. All performers are handpicked and hold a huge amount of entertainment, right in our back yard! But the culture of our province really shines through in the Saint John City Market. The oldest of its type in Atlantic Canada, the Market is home to all that is New Brunswick. With everything from local Artists who paint scenes of our beautiful province to fudge makers and foreign cuisine to tempt your taste buds, the Market has a section for every part that makes up us. Perhaps the best part of New Brunswick is that which many of us forget: it is our home. Home is something that cannot be explained, it’s not just a place but it is also a feeling, one that is almost indescribable. To put it as simple as possible, to everyone other than you, a house is just that, a
house; however to you it is your home. To the rest of Canada, New Brunswick is just another province, but to us it is home. Yes there are many of us who leave for work or other reasons, but we never forget where we came from. New Brunswick is not just a province; for those of us who were born here, it is where we all grew up, where our friends are, and our families are here. For those who moved here, its vibrant culture, rich history and accepting nature acts as the perfect foundation to build upon. We definitely do not live in a perfect province, but who does? All that matters is that we New Brunswicker’s have done amazing things and this wonderful place always will be our home.

FAMILY MATTERS LEARNING TO LISTEN AND ATTEND If you get frustrated with trying to get your kid to listen, take heart, you’re not alone. We all know that listening and attending are crucial skills for success and for getting along socially in life but teaching kids this can be hard. We also know that learning how to listen does not happen by chance. You are your child’s best instructor. Listening and sustaining attention can help inform your child of hazards, provide opportunities for learning, and open doors to new friendships. Here is an easy 5 step process to help catch your child’s attention and promote active listening. Talk After You Have Attention. If your child is not listening, get her attention and make sure she’s looking at you before you speak. You might squat down to her level, or give a verbal cue to get her attention. You can try saying “I have something to share, tell me when you’re ready.”
Talk Eye to Eye. Speak only when you’re eye to eye. You are more likely to have your child’s full attention when you’re looking in his or her eyes. Teach your family that when listening you always look at the color of the talker’s eyes. Eye contact helps to ensure your child is engaged in the conversation. You can try saying “it is important I see your eyes when I speak, look at me please”. Talk in a Low Slow Voice. Nothing makes it harder to listen than hearing someone yell. Avoid the common statements, “that’s the fourth time I told you!” or “didn’t you hear anything I just said?” Try the opposite and talk softly and slowly. You’ll be surprised how well it works. Talk Using Short Phrases. Use phrases or questions that will keep your kiddo’s attention. These phrases should offer consistency and routine. When you use the same parenting phrases again and again, your child learns your phrases
and how to respond or problem solve in response. Phrases offer short bursts of communication and can be as simple as “can you show me how you would….”, or “can we try ….. instead?” Keep Them Hooked. To keep your child’s attention, you should keep it relevant. Conversations that don’t catch the needs, wants or motivations of your child will be lost. This week engage in meaningful conversations with you children and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

EXERCISE FOR HEALTH CAN WE TAKE THE HEAT? Exercising in the heat makes the body work harder because it has to do more to keep your body temperature down. If the humidity is high your temperature can be even higher because sweat will not evaporate to cool you it will just build up on your body possibly making your body temperature even higher. You tend to burn more calories in the heat because your body works harder to keep from overheating and the same goes for very cold weather, your body works harder to keep itself warm. Remember in the hot weather your body is circulating more blood throughout your skin to help cool you, this leaves less blood for your working muscles which can increase your heart rate. Working out in normal conditions allows your body to adjust and control its temperature. Keeping yourself hydrated is extremely important during an intense workout, ½ cup of fluids for every 15 minutes of exertion. You will have lots of fluids loss through sweating and increased breathing,
and if the sweat isn’t dripping off you doesn’t mean you’re not losing moisture, everyone sweats at a different rate. It is always recommended to work out on an empty stomach or with just a small snack beforehand. Many exercises would just be too uncomfortable on a full stomach and if you eat too much your body will be using some of its energy on digesting food instead of providing the energy you need for a good intense workout. Never work your body hard without warming it up and never work out intensely and then suddenly stop, ease your body out of its increased heart rate and raised temperature. The general agreed upon temperature for a good workout is considered to be 18-20 degrees celsius with a humidity percentage between 40-60%. If your body’s natural cooling systems can’t keep up you could experience; Heat cramps, which are painful muscle contractions; Heat syncope, exercise
induced collapse, you feel light headed or faint; Heat exhaustion, body temperature below 40c (104f) you may feel nauseated, vomiting, weak, headache, faint, cold clammy skin and can lead to heat stroke; heat stroke, body temp greater than 40c (104f) may become irritable, confused, headache, possible irregular heartbeat, fuzzy vision, faint, nausea and vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. Enjoy all the opportunities summer provides, keep active, stay safe, make the best of the long warm days and don't forget the local seasonal foods that are in abundance. 0046

and support them through a variety of programs we offer in addition to our services as a food bank. We partner with our elementary schools to provide hot lunches at school. Also we provide school supplies for every grade, right through high school. Tutoring is available free of charge for school age children as well as literacy classes. Cooking classes are also available weekly for those interested; it’s a great, fun way to learn something new and we encourage our clients to attend when they can. The volunteers at this organization are our greatest resource. They donate their time in the retail store and on the food side, working together for the benefit of our community. Without their hard work there would simply be no Sharing Club. The money raised by the volunteers at the store helps fund the food bank and pays for our other services. We invite everyone, including the general public, to stop by and check out our ever-changing inventory. We sell clothing, furniture, small appliances and kitchen gadgets, dishes, books, and lots of other things too. We are open every third Saturday
of the month to make it easier for those folks whose work schedule doesn’t give them a chance to drop in during the week. The store hours are 10:00am-3:00pm. You never know what you’ll find! At the food bank our volunteers sort and pre-pack foods so everything will be ready for our two days per month when we give out food to our clients. They ensure everything will go quickly and smoothly on those busy days. It’s a lot of work and we are grateful to our volunteers who continue to serve this way. Many of them have been with us for a long time but we are always happy to see new faces looking for a way to make a difference. Our goal is to help those going through difficult times, enabling them to move ahead. Our many services and courses are aimed at helping these families to find employment or help in other areas such as budgeting. The face of food banks is always
changing, according to the community we serve. We continue to reach out in new and meaningful ways. Currently we are undertaking a new project to show our appreciation for our seniors. We recognize that our seniors have helped make Sussex a great place to live. Friends for Seniors is a new program that is our way of showing our appreciation to the seniors who have made Sussex their home. We take a welcome basket to each senior. Many seniors could use a little help and we want to let them know that we are there if they, or someone they know need our services. It offers volunteers and seniors the chance to connect, through an in-home visit with an interested senior. Those looking to volunteer, and seniors alike, should contact our office to take part in this rewarding endeavor. Please contact us if you know of a senior who may need a visit and we will make sure they receive our welcome basket. Office number is
54 Aiton Rd., Sussex • 433-3672
433-6047 and is open from 9:00am3:30pm Monday to Friday. We are constantly thanking our donors for their amazing support and they enable us to continue serving this community. We could not do it without you!
