On Our Cover
Is a time of year with many family traditions. Growing up, my parents made Easter a special time of year. This included spending time with my grandparents, other relatives, the Easter egg and chocolate bunny hunt, going to church, and having a special Easter family dinner with my grandparents, aunts and uncle joining us. In the younger school grades we made cards for our parents and grandparents. At home we decorated our house and my mother always had her Easter Lily on the coffee table in the living room. My parents hid our treats; however, having a younger brother who was extremely excited about finding any chocolate, it was no time at all before he would find all the surprises that had been hidden for my sister and I. Although my husband and I grew up with different family traditions for Easter, in our family we have made our own tradition that includes spending time with our son’s grandmothers and other close relatives, going to church, having a special egg and chocolate bunny hunt and a special family dinner. My son’s chocolate hunt is not a normal hunt. Matthew does not eat the treats, so these treats can be hidden anywhere where our beloved family dog, Browny, can’t get into them. My husband writes up clues and the treats start to be hidden a couple of days before Easter. Then with the clues in his hand, Matthew is sent on a scavenger hunt. At times he has had to call relatives in another province for pieces of the clue that my husband had sent to them. Some treats are found quickly while others

might take time to figure out what the answer is and where the treat precisely is - is it in our home, at his grandmother’s, a neighbour’s or maybe they are even hidden elsewhere. The eggs are hidden in many different places including, in past years, a light fixture (Matthew spent a while going from room to room taking down the fixtures before he found one lonely egg), in the toilet tank (not a problem where he doesn’t eat them), in with pieces of board games, boots, and between a mattress and box spring. At our home we have a community mailbox. A fond memory of a hiding place that I will always remember was when we had hidden Matthew’s Easter treat in our mailbox. After spending quite a bit of time going through the mail in our home, he finally figured out that the treat was in our mailbox. Matthew went to our mailbox, reached in the box to pull out his chocolate surprise, and instead of a chocolate surprise he pulled out a thank you note from our mailman thanking us for the Easter treat we had left in the mailbox for him! 0001

Basement Players are back on stage this year - The Treasure of Shiver River’. Meet the scoundrel Rod Enreel, who will be up to all sorts of ‘no good’, from ranch take over to treasure seekin’. Of course, every good drama has a ‘love story’ and Heidi Claire is being sought after by the good guy and the villain… how will that turn out. Be sure to catch the 2016 performances by Basement Players locally: Saturday, April 2 at St. Paul’s United Church (Sussex), sponsored by the fundraising committee; Friday, April 8 at the Norton Catholic Church Hall, sponsored by the Sussex High girl’s hockey team; Friday, April 15 at Belleisle Regional High, sponsored by The Basement Players Inc; Saturday, April 23 at Sussex Corner Hall, sponsored by The Path Finders; Saturday, May 7 at the Harvey Hall in Riverside Albert, sponsored by the Alma Albert Pastoral Charge.

Transportation Fund. All monies raised in New Brunswick stay in the province, providing assistance to NB families who need to travel to Sick Kids’ Hospitals. Come on out and have some laughs while helping the Basement Players raise funds for this worthwhile charity. 3949
BENEFIT FOR EMMETT TOTTEN A Benefit for Emmett Totten, infant son of James & Ashley Totten, will be held at the Belleisle Community Centre on Saturday, April 9. The doors will open at 6:30pm with games (casino, silent auction, finger food) from 7:00-9:00, followed by music and dancing. Emmet is at the IWK fighting a rare respiratory problem; his father recently lost his job at the potash mine and so also lost his medical coverage. Emmett could be at the the IWK for several weeks, and will then move to the SJRH. When he is able to come home, he will need machines to assist with his breathing and 24-hour care. Proceeds from this event will assist the family with expenses incurred while

Q. I am self-employed. What can I do to reduce my taxable income? A. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Keep an accurate accounting of your expenses so you have the information available at year end. 2. If you maintain a home office, claim a percentage of the costs of maintaining your home. See the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) website for details and eligibility on claiming Home Office Expenses. 3. If your spouse is helping you in your business, consider paying your spouse a wage commensurate with their position. This will help reduce your taxable income and provide for income splitting with your spouse. 4. If this is your first year of being self-employed, consider making quarterly installments of the estimate of income taxes payable. If you have been self-employed for more than a year, then when you filed your income taxes the previous year, CRA would have told you what your required quarterly installment payments are on your notice of assessment. If you think that your income is going to be more than previous years, consider increasing your installment payments. 5. Open an RRSP account and make monthly contributions to the RRSP. Not only does this reduce your taxable income but it sets something aside for your retirement.

When you’re in the business of teaching new drivers the rules of the road, expanding your course schedule to include motorcycle training is cause for celebration. And, when it’s the first government approved motorcycle course in New Brunswick, it’s even more reason to be excited. Blaine Dornan, owner of Moncton-based Dornan Driving School, confirmed that they now offer the first government approved motorcycle course in the province, and look forward to offering their intensive 20 hour instructional and practical training on the safe operation of motorcycles. “Our instructors come to us with over 80 years of motorcycle teaching experience and we have designed a course that is invaluable to new and experienced riders,” Dornan explains. Along with highly qualified, certified instructors, they have designed the course around the weekends, to make it easier for those with busy weekday schedules to attend. Their schedule begins on Friday evenings with three hours of in-class training followed by 17 hours of hands on motorcycle training on Saturday and Sunday. “Students can leave here knowing they have obtained the skills necessary to become confident, safe and defensive riders on our busy roads and highways.” Along with motorcycle training, Dornan Driving School continues to offer a convenient option for new drivers in the Sussex area. They hold regular driver training courses at Sussex Regional High School, and also offer the convenience of online training for those who are unable to attend the classroom portion of the program. We also have family in the community! “We are committed to training drivers to meet the challenges of our roads and highways.”

LIVE wELL CAREGIVER STRESS Being a caregiver can be very rewarding however, it is essential that you remember to look after yourself as well. It is important to recognize the signs, symptoms and potential risks of caregiver stress so you can realize the importance of self-care and make it part of your daily routine. “One goal of the mindful caregiver is to find ways to not feel ‘dis-eased’ in the caregiving process.” ~ Nancy L. Kriseman, The Mindful Caregiver: Finding Ease in the Caregiving Journey. The office on Women’s Health states that “Caregiver stress can take many forms. You may feel frustrated and angry one minute and helpless the next”. Some of the common signs and symptoms of caregiver stress include: Feeling tired, sad, worried overwhelmed and alone, having trouble sleeping, experience fluctuations in weight, frequent head and body aches, lack of energy and losing interest in things that you enjoy. It is very important for caregivers to practice Self-Care. The office on Women’s Health indicates that caregiver stress can lead to: Depression and Anxiety; A weak immune system; Obesity, which can lead to heart disease, stroke and diabetes; A higher risk of developing chronic diseases and may lead to problems with short-term memory and being able to stay focused. Elizabeth Scott, a stress management expert states that “Self-Care Makes You a Better Caretaker: People who neglect their own needs and forget to nurture themselves are at danger of deeper levels of unhappiness, low self-esteem and feelings of resentment. Also, sometimes people who spend their time only taking care of others can be at risk for getting burned out on all the giving, which makes it more difficult to care for others or themselves. Taking time to care for yourself regularly can make you a better caretaker for others”. Self-care is essential for our overall wellbeing and help us to stay focused on our goals. Staying in touch with our inner self helps us to recognize our triggers and the resulting physiological symptoms. Some techniques that can help address the symptoms are relaxed breathing, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation and other mindfulness exercises, which focuses our attention to the present moment. It is also very important to remember that
you are not alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, we are, after all, only human and therefore have limitations as to what we can handle based on our own personal experiences. It is very important to grow your support system. The Saint John Human Development Council provides a list of community resources and support services on their website (sjhdc.ca). Some other
possible resources that you may find helpful are: thecaregivernetwork.ca and thefamilycaregiver. com. 0008 Jennifer Fudge-Marsh BA, MACP

EMERgENCY MEASURES SHELTER IN PLACE While the risk is small of a hazardous chemical spill in the area, you should take some time to examine the concept of “shelter in place”. Shelter in place is the use of a structure and its indoor atmosphere to temporarily separate you from a hazardous outdoor atmosphere. You may not have time to evacuate your home as the release may be approaching or may soon be released before you are safely out of the impact area. You may be contacted via a telephone call, media alert, or by first responders travelling through your neighbourhood and alerting via a public address system. Upon notification, you should bring all children and pets indoors and ensure all doors and windows are closed and locked. All ways in which the outside air could enter the home must be closed. This includes air conditioners, fireplace dampers, heat pumps and climate control systems.
An inside room, preferably without windows, should have been predetermined. The room should have either access to water or have water stored there. Wet a towel and place it against the bottom of the door to block it. Your pets can also be placed in an area with similar precautions, but this area should be picked to allow easy cleanup of waste products. Sheltering in place is only for a short time, so concern about Carbon Dioxide (CO2) buildup is minimum. However, a CO2 monitor would be of great assistance if you are concerned. This assumes that there is no fuel burning system being used. You will not have to have 72 hour’s worth of supplies for a shelter in place event; but having snacks, flashlight, wind-up radio to monitor news broadcasts and water will make the time less stressful. If you are in your vehicle and close to
home, your office or a public building that is open, go there and go inside. If you have been in the contaminated air, you must remove your outer clothing to reduce spreading the chemicals. If you cannot get home or to a building, pull over to the side of the road. Stop your vehicle in the safest place possible, turn off the air conditioning or heating and then the engine. Close all windows and vents and if possible block the air vents with duct tape or other material. Listen to your radio for instructions and advice on the situation. By thinking about the actions you can take if you are asked to “shelter in place” you can “Be Prepared - Not Scared”. 0039

WHAT DOES DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LOOK LIKE? Domestic violence and abuse occur when one partner in an intimate relationship tries to control the other partner through fear and shame. Domestic abuse can affect women of any age and all cultures. It affects poor women and wealthy women. It happens in heterosexual relationships and samesex relationships. Although women are more commonly abused, men can also be the victims of domestic violence. No matter who you are, you deserve to feel respected, valued, and safe. Do you suspect that you are in an abusive relationship? Some questions to consider are: Does your partner ever hurt you in any way; Does your partner break objects when angry; Does your partner threaten to hurt you, your family or pets; Does your partner force you to have sex when you don’t want to; Does your partner put you down or criticize you; Is your partner overly jealous; Does your partner decide what you do and where 16 20 th, 6 1 ri l Ap :00p m y da At 7 tur Sa
you go; Does your partner take control of all of the money; Does your partner humiliate you in front of people. If you suspect that you are being abused or just need to talk, call the Domestic Violence Outreach Coordinator at 4336579. 3982

THE CURMUDgEON AGING My son likes to say I am older than dirt. He will also point out that dirt is insulted by the comparison. I have been thinking about aging a lot, lately. I recently celebrated a birthday, putting me one notch closer to the end and what seems much farther from the beginning. It would be fair to say I have passed life’s equator. I remember a conversation a few years back with my doctor. I was commenting on a poster in his waiting room and explaining how I planned to live to be one hundred. His response was simple, direct, brief and concise, “Ain’t gonna happen”. It’s one of things I like about him. I’ve never left his office unsure of where I stood. I say “celebrated” not because of any party I attended. Birthdays tend to be close family affairs. Last year I ran late for the planned dinner and cake. I arrived home to find my wife and son had started
without me, eaten half the cake and (so they say) accidently dropped and kicked the other half across the kitchen floor. At least they stuck a candle in what remained. I can still feel the love. I say “celebrated” because there is one thing about aging that is truly wonderful and trumps whatever aches, pains and loss of clear sight that seems inevitable as we grow older and seemingly shorter. That one thing is the alternative. Yep, all things considered, any day I wake up on the green side of the sod is a good day. Which is something you don’t oft think about when you’re a feisty twentysomething with more gumption than sense. Another, albeit lesser benefit of aging: you get to use words like feisty and gumption without young-uns staring at you as if you had time travelled from some distant time, pre-Snapchat. They just assume you’re eccentric and a bit old-
person-crazy; keeping a wide berth when passing you at the park bench. When you are young, filled to the brim with vim and vigour, about the only time you consider the act of waking to be a fortuitous life event is typically after a night of derring-do and danger filled shenanigans. It’s waking to have the sun sucker punch you in the eyes that you realize the night before was a “there but for the grace of God” moment and that yes, being alive is a good thing. However, as you age, the hijinks become fewer and less severe, or so it’s hoped. As your clock ticks closer to life’s inevitable, you come to appreciate that a sunrise can be more beautiful than a sunset. Waking up is an accomplishment worth celebrating in and of itself and the alternative . . . well, it just sucks. 0002 Robert Cole

ASK THE CHEF TEA - TRADITION OR CULTURE? Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. We were talking this week about caffeine and which product has the most caffeine. Well coffee of course, with an average of 80 to 130 mg per six-ounce serving. Black tea, which most people drink has 86 mg per six-ounce serving and hot chocolate has anywhere from 14 to 70 mg per serving. Tea is the oldest of caffeinated drinks. Tea has been around since 2737 BC and can be linked back to China and was first created by Shennong. Shennong translates to mystical farmer, who is credited with creating the Chinese diet and herbal healing. The tea plant, is called Camellia Sinensis, growing mainly in subtropical areas and is part of the evergreen plant. It take many years for a plant to be ready for harvesting and when it is, they only remove the top layer of the plant. Tea preparation is categorized by six colours: White - wilted and unoxidized; Yellow -
unwilted and unoxidized, but allowed to yellow; Green - unwilted and unoxidized; Oolong - wilted, bruised, and partially oxidized; Black - wilted, sometimes crushed, and fully oxidized ('red tea' in China); Post-fermented - green tea that has been allowed to ferment/compost ('black tea' for the Chinese). Red Rose or King Cole would be black tea. Herbal tea is a beverage made from an infusion or decoction of herbs, spices and other plants that have been boiled in water but do not have any of the tea plant in them. Most herbal teas are decaffeinated but it all depends on what is in the mixture. Herbals teas, like regular tea, can be drank either hot or cold. Many cultures have created their own version of herbal teas to be used as medicine, ceremonial and spiritual beverages. Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, next to water. Tea may be made differently depending on area or culture, but they all stem from the same place. In our neck of the world,
you see people lined up waiting to get a crappy cup of Tim’s, but in most of the world, people are boiling up some herbs in a tea bell or squeezing out that last bit of flavour from a bag of black tea leaves because that is their double double. My mother and my grandmother both needed a cup of tea at the end of dinner. I know many of you do the same or know those who have tea at the end of the meal. Is it a tradition or a culture? Tea drinkers started to become fewer, but now we see specialty shops offering hundreds of varieties of teas to be sampled. Stop in and try it. Like they say, a billion Chinese cannot be all wrong. 0040

ASK MARY DO MEN GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY THAN WOMEN... Although we all experience grief when we lose a loved one, women seem more likely than men to express their feelings of loss. But just because women are more expressive it doesn’t mean that they grieve more than men do. One theory is that men understate their grief, meaning they experience grief just as much as women but they don’t seek counsel for it. Another possible reason for the difference is often how social expectations and gender roles affect how we grieve. Ever since playschool girls have always surrounded themselves with girlfriends and this is important for support and healing. But for men their best friend may be their wives, while women continue their girl friendship throughout their married life. This makes it easier for a new widow to maintain a social life and even to travel. But a man may struggle to socialize and you almost never see two men travelling together.
It is a rare thing for a friend or family member to approach a widow within the first year and try to match her up with someone else. But I have heard from several widowed men that they are encouraged to date because their friends and family don’t think they can be happy on their own. A man’s way of healing may be less visible and more subtle than a woman’s. But just because he is more silent does not mean he isn’t grieving. The world may not see a grieving male as the bereaved person they are because in our society they may be seen as the support person – a role that they have probably played well. As a grown man they may have been taught from an early age that “big boys don’t cry” and so may not be comfortable with showing their emotions. But the advice is the same for both women and men - don’t hold the grief in. Find someone to share with, someone who is comfortable with your grief.
So, in answer to the question “Do men grieve differently than women when they lose their spouse?” The answer is “No”. Men grieve their loss just as strong as women, but social upbringing and culture has a strong affect on how they express their grief. When we lose a loved one we often start wearing a mask, saying that we are doing OK and showing a brave face to the world. Unfortunately men may have learned to wear their mask so well that it becomes hard for them to express their grief for all to see. 0016
