On Our Cover We Will Remember
The leaves are changing colour, the geese are honking overhead and the morning dew is turning to morning frost. With the end of October comes my least favourite time of year, November. However you want to describe that period between Indian summer and the Christmas Season, I have never enjoyed the grey days of late fall and the month of November always seems so dreary. After a summer of nurturing my flower pots and gardens, wandering the trails and sipping a drink on the patio, I resent the shorter days and colder nights. I mourn the loss of my flowers and dread the day that I have to put my gardens to bed for the winter. This fall, after a spring and summer of getting ready for baby, and then recovering from surgery while learning how to take care of baby, my gardens really suffered and the task of prepping for winter seems even more daunting than usual. When I was finally able to spend a few uninterrupted minutes working in the garden rather than simply looking at it, I realized that Mother Nature had been hard at work reclaiming my garden plots and many of my perennials had been choked out by encroaching weeds. I finally made the difficult decision to approach gardening with a view towards the minimalistic for the 2018 season. Since early September I have been working away at removing the worst of the weeds, clearing new, smaller plots and transplanting a few of my favourite flowers.

the window sill, I built a rock wall and path around a raised garden bed before transplanting the Hostas and Astilbe that I brought from my mother’s gardens at our family home. Another garden was created for the Irises from my grandmother’s garden and Peonies from Kevin’s grandparents’ plot. I am now left with the task of filling in a few holes and spreading grass seed over large areas that at one time boasted Brown Eyed Susans, Irises and Peonies. I think Kevin is pleased at the prospect that mowing will be easier as he will have only two small gardens and the pad for our above ground pool to mow around rather than the extensive gardens I slaved over in the past. All in all, I am pleased with my new garden plots; next year, my gardens will be filled with flowers and family history, a combination that I believe will increase my enjoyment of the season. 0001

WELL RESTED
YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND SLEEP APNEA
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a very common sleep disorder. It is marked by snoring, pauses in breathing, gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other factors in OSA include morning headaches, a large neck, being overweight and high blood pressure. There are strong associations between untreated Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease. Those with untreated OSA are at greater risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and early death due cardiovascular problems. But people experiencing sleep apnea are not just affected by its physical effects. They may also experience mental health problems. People with sleep apnea are much more likely to experience depression than people in the general population. Having poor sleep quality can affect your daytime mood and having a serious health condition itself is enough to cause some to feel depressed. Sleep apnea can interfere with mental health because of the reduced oxygen supply to the brain and frequent arousals from sleep
to trigger breathing again. This can alter brain function and increase a person’s chances of developing depression. Increased daytime anxiety and increasing anxiety before bed can affect those with sleep apnea. Not getting enough quality rest makes it very difficult to deal with routine daily task and cause anxiety. People with untreated sleep apnea also tend to feel anxious before bed as they know that they would like to have a restful sleep but will most like spend the night tossing and turning and waking frequently. People with sleep apnea often get treated because of their spouse’s complaints about snoring. Even the most supportive spouse can get fed up by being awoken night after night with loud snoring and tossing and turning. This can cause sleeping in separate rooms, resentment and decreased opportunity for intimacy. Dreams are an opportunity to process emotions and events of the day freeing up your brain to deal with tomorrow. People with sleep apnea wake frequently, they are constantly being disturbed out of their
dream sleep, disrupting this essential cycle of dreaming. When someone does not get the proper amount of undisturbed dream sleep they experience anxiety to difficulty with memory. Concentration and memory problems are one of the most significant repercussions of sleep apnea. Exhaustion during the day causes trouble focusing on important tasks like work, school, and driving. You may frequently feel agitated or quicktempered further causing relationship problems and activities of daily living. 0038

Felix, Jonah & Finn:
Three male tabbies, eight weeks old and too cute for words. Felix is in the ‘shadows’, not cooperating for the photo shoot. They arrived at the Sanctuary at four weeks old with their mother Suzie. There were four kittens in all, but we left the fourth one for company to a five & a-half week old female called Minuet which had been abandoned by her mother. Suzie accepted her immediately. We felt she needed a ‘budd’ to socialize with. They have all been Vet checked and treated for all parasites. They are on display at Pet Valu in Sussex. Paws & Whiskers Sanctuary Inc.

EXERCISE FOR HEALTH 150 YEARS EXERCISE THEN AND NOW 150 years has been well celebrated in Canada this year so I thought we should visit physical activity and healthy living then and now. The average lifespan for a person 150 years ago which would be in 1867 was 37-40 years. Many factors played into this short lifespan, lack of nutrition and personal hygiene were probably two of the biggest factors, storage and preservation of food probably played into poor health also. Medicines were very scarce while the doctor quite often lived miles away if there was one near at all people relied on treatments they made themselves. Exercise was not something any one had to fit into their lives. Daily survival meant physical activity from dawn to dusk. Most food was harvested prepared and eaten in the same day and everything was done by hand. Colder winter months meant a limited variety of what was available and meat was often the most plentiful.
Now move to our present day in 2017 the average person lives for 80 - 84 years and many live well into their 90’s or even to 100 years. Now you may say we live twice as long and we do but with processed and chemically preserved foods and bad eating habits with a lack of physical activity our longevity has become plagued with obesity, disease and pain. We eat on the run and take little time to cook from scratch. Many take vitamins to make up for what they think is missing from their diet. Hygiene is over the top, we are so clean and sanitized that our bodies have become weak when we are faced with some germs our immune system has nothing to fight with. It is difficult for many people to fit enough exercise into their daily schedule most work long hours and have a family to look after. Easy convenient living has deprived us of what our bodies require for healthy longevity. Many hours are
spent sitting and our leisure time is quite often sedentary in front of a computer screen, TV or cell phone. Medical care has had many advancements; hips and knees can be replaced and even then exercise is key for ease of movement and strength. “If you don’t use it you lose it” is completely true when it comes to joint health. The health benefits that daily exercise and healthy eating can provide are endless and can help to sustain us physically, mentally and socially. 0046

SELF ESTEEM MENTAL ILLNESS & ME Mental illness is often invisible. The first week of October was deemed Mental Illness Awareness week. As many of you know, one of my life goals is to eradicate the stigma that can accompany mental illness. When a person has to take medicine to regulate blood sugar, we get that. When a person has had a stroke and needs physical therapy to

regain use of extremities, we understand that. However, some don't understand that our brain can fall ill as well. It may mean taking medicine for a chemical imbalance or going to talk therapy. How is that any different? Simply put, it isn't! I feel we have all come a long way in understanding mental illness but I also feel we can always learn more. I'd like
to share with you some of the insights I have gained from being mentally ill... There is absolutely NO SHAME in having a mental illness. Having a mental illness can actually make you stronger. You feel things much more intensely than the average person. You see things from a completely different perspective. You have thought after thought after thought (some positive, but most not). Having a mental illness makes you fabulously incredible! You wake up each morning, feeling dread and yet you go on. You conceal your pain, moment by moment. Throughout your day, you feel insecure yet you face others with a smile. At times, you are drowning in your own tears but you find the strength to resuscitate yourself. You don’t look sick but you feel it every single day. But you get up and get on with your day, just like everyone else. The average person can not do that! You have so many things to do in the run of your day and you do it all while fighting through the voices in your head that tell you can’t, you aren’t good enough, you suck, nobody likes you and on and on and on. You fight to live another day. Mental illness is different for everyone. In my experience, people are very understanding and compassionate about mental illness for about three days, then they wonder why you’re not feeling better. Each of us have our struggles; whether they be physical, mental or spiritual. I believe we are more understanding of physical illness because we can see it. Someone broke their arm, they have a cast...that must've hurt or someone has had a heart attack and now has a scar down the center of their chest from open heart surgery. The scars from a mental illness may not show but they are there nonetheless. 0027 Edited for space, see full article ossekeag.ca

the great sacrifice of many during wars and conflicts through the past century to this day. Nations/societies led by dictatorial despots/

With a relatively small population, Canada has and does contribute greatly with personnel and equipment to keep the enemy from our shores and preserve our freedom. The First World War, with a population of fewer than eight million, saw 56,000 Canadians killed and 200,000 wounded, missing in action or become prisoners of war. The Second World War cost us 23,000 killed and 80,000 wounded, missing or prisoners. Canada contributed nearly a half million personnel in each of the two wars. The

Korean conflict saw 27,000 Canadians serve, only the USA and Britain had more. 516 Canadians were killed. Those returning from those wars physically or mentally scarred for life are many. They lived and fought through most miserable conditions that we could not comprehend. The trenches were cramped, rat and bug infested and extremely muddy. Hunger for good food was constant, as was the fear of death. The war ships and merchant ships endured storms with waves as high as a two-story house.
Ice from the spray built up on the top part of the ship. Water, which seeped in kept everything damp and cold. The fear of the next attack was constant. Flyers left the ground fully aware that their chances of not coming back were great. Many ended up as prisoners enduring untold misery and hunger. Others returned physically and mentally impaired. When the despots/fanatics gain control they dictate what you can watch, read, eat, drink, where you stay, pray, work, what education/

We Will R your freedom. The Royal Canadian Legion has a phrase, which is heard, at most of their ceremonies, meetings and some social gatherings. It states “at the going down of the sun and in the morning – we will remember them”.
The hostilities of the first World War (1914-1918) ceased on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Our day of remembrance each year is November the 11th. The Royal Canadian legion distributes poppies which can be worn in the few weeks leading up to that day.

ANGELS REMEMBERED CAMPAIGN Hospice Sussex is gearing up for its annual Angels Remembered fundraising campaign to be held during the Christmas Season. The campaign will run from November 25th until December 16th at the Gateway Mall. This campaign gives people an opportunity to place an angel on the Hospice Christmas tree in memory of their loved ones. It is a great way to remember our loved ones
at this special time of year and at the same time give support to programs and services for people and families touched by end-of-life issues. Hospice Sussex held its 15th Annual Harvest Dance and Silent Auction at the Royal Canadian Legion in Sussex on October 14. Over $11,000 was raised. The Board of Directors and Volunteers would like to thank all those who supported this fundraiser.
Hospice Sussex volunteers provide emotional, social, practical, spiritual, and grief support, as well as information and education to people and families in Sussex and the surrounding area who wish to have this type of support at a difficult time in their lives.

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG CREATIVITY Are you creative? Most will compare themselves immediately to someone else and say no. The fact is most people are creative. To be creative you need two things, a thought and a way to turn that thought into an image. It is said that the most difficult part of any journey is the first step. The first step in this journey of creativity, moving from idea to an image, is to do something, anything that moves you towards your image. Set up a still life, call a friend or drive into the country or seaside, do something. Once you have done that, let the ideas percolate. Clear your mind and allow ideas to come. It is here that many will want to be original; good luck with that, as our creativity is born of a thousand parents. Every image, every painting, sculpture, poem has left a mark in our subconscious and it is from these sources of inspiration that much of creativity is born. Writer C.S. Lewis once said, “Even in
literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.” Take your ideas (thoughts) and plant them like seeds and let them grow. One idea leading to another idea. It may sound like I am saying to copy is okay, well it is, sorta. When you see an image you like, look at it and ask yourself what it is that makes me like this image? Is it the mood, the effects or lighting? Once you decided on what you appreciated about that image go out and make images of your own. If you like those images of light streaming through the tree, get up early and get to the woodlands and look for light. Make your image and then print it, because looking at your print is different than looking at it on a monitor. On a
Christmas Gifts Galore!
computer you images are backlit and often are quite bright. Printed images are reflected light and appear darker. With print in hand, you can critique your image and ask yourself how can I make it more like so and so’s. Ideas come from past experiences. The ideas you followed through on will become the starting point for another idea down the road of creativity. Shoot - Print - Share. 0032 Edited for space, see full article ossekeag.ca

DOLLARS & SENSE TALKING ABOUT HOLIDAY SPENDING With November as Financial Literacy Month, I thought back to the most common comment we receive about financial literacy, “they should be teaching this in schools.” We completely agree, and we are seeing curriculum shifts in that direction, and interest from educators about how to incorporate financial literacy into all courses. To develop good, solid financial practices, you need to understand how money motivates and can move you in certain directions. With financial literacy, it is not just something you learn, it is also something you practice. Christmas is a great time of year to increase your financial literacy (no matter your age). As I write this I could walk into any store and see the Christmas ornaments side by side with the Halloween candy. It is the season of spending (and borrowing). Whether you are spending money on gifts,
travel, food, entertaining, parties… the possibilities for spending are endless. Here are some ways you can increase yours or your child’s financial literacy: Make a list (checking it twice) of the people you would like to buy for and what you are planning to buy for them; Write down what you would expect each item on that list to cost. This can be completed by searching on-line or going to a store; Set your cash budget; how much do you actually have to spend; Add both the list and budget. If you are over on cost, you would have to borrow money. If your borrowed money what would that cost, and how long would it take you to pay it back after the excitement of the holidays have passed; Pick a cause. Make sure you include on your Christmas todo list to donate. This can take many forms, such as time, a toy, cash, shoebox, toiletries, clothes etc. Not all donations will cost you money, talk
about options and which ones may suit. Developing good money habits will go a long way to increasing financial literacy. During November we would love to hear your ideas on increasing your financial literacy, use the hashtag #MoneyTalk and tweet us @ SolveyYourDebts or on Facebook at 0005 facebook.com/solveyourdebts.
