The Sussex Herald
As any parent will tell you, bringing home baby for the first time can be nerve-wracking. The post-delivery exhaustion combined with the stress of suddenly being responsible for a tiny, helpless, bundle of joy creates a perfect storm of emotions. For Kevin and I, bringing Emma home had the added complication of an introduction to two very spoiled, very needy, very stubborn fur-babies. (My fault completely- Darla and Rufus have been spoiled from the moment they came to live with me and no attempt by Kevin to curb their behaviour has been successful to datemostly because he has been unable to retrain my responses to their demands.) When we arrived home with Emma, Kevin and I were greeted by Rufus, who promptly turned her nose up at Emma’s car carrier and proceeded to ignore “the intruder” while she received some much wanted attention. Darla was nowhere to be seen (of course she is also twelve, and I suspect is hard of hearing rather than simply selective of what she hears). As we settled Emma in and started to get unpacked Rufus continued on her merry way as though nothing had changed, although she gave the cradle a bit of a snide look on the way by. We did not see Darla until later that night; Emma and I were on the bed having a bottle when I heard nails clicking across the living room floor and a strange sound that was more of a “meep” than “meow”. Darla had realized we were home and, I suspect, was berating me for not coming to find her, or for leaving her in the first

place. She made it to the bedroom door before Emma made a sound, at which point Darla promptly turned tail and retreated back to “her” chair in the den, where she remained with the exception of feeding time for the next several days. She refused to condescend to cuddle or snuggle with me for several days and remained out of sorts for a couple of weeks. Rufus simply ignored Emma and acted as though nothing had changed. Fortunately, we have since found a new normal and the fur-babies have accepted our new baby into the family. Rufus enjoys sitting on the back of the couch while Emma has her bottle and will often join her on a blanket or the bed. The only draw back is Rufus does not understand that Emma is not a new source of attention and I have had to stop the cat from patting the baby’s face when she is looking for a snuggle. Darla still spends a lot of time in her chair, but she also likes to sit beside us on the couch. On several occasions she has given the bottle a friendly “head-butt” as she settles in beside us. I am one happy mama as all my babies are content and well on their way to being friends. 0001

100 WOMEN WHO CARE
Sally Kierstead (founder of 100 Women Who Care of Kings County); Alex Coffin (manager of PCCC) and Kristy Waalderbos (co-founder)
A large group of members met September 12 at the Norton Municipal Building to listen to representatives of three charities/non profits from the Kings County area speak about the needs of their respective organizations. Peter White spoke about his Hampton Rotary, Helmets for Kids program; Alex Coffin talked to us about the needs of the Potash Corp Civic Centre in Sussex and Betty Kennett gave an impassioned talk on the work the Hampton Food Basket does. Our membership voted and chose to give this month’s collective donation of $7600 to the Potash Corp Civic Center. Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 5, at the St.Francis Xavier Church Hall, Church Avenue, Sussex. With registrations and meet & greet beginning at 6:30pm and the meeting starting promptly at 7:00pm. If you are a woman who would like
to attend a half hour meeting, 4 times a year, to learn about the needs of different charities in our area, want to help out our neighbors and are prepared to commit to donating $100 quarterly, then this is the group for you. Commitment forms are available at the meeting and takes just a couple of minutes to fill out. If you still wish to be part of the group but can’t join as an individual, you can get friends/family/ co-workers to join with you as a group to share the amount of the donation. To date we have donated over $100,000 to local, Kings County charities and nonprofits, and that is such a great feeling knowing how many lives our group has helped and enriched.

E R I F It’s the time of year to settle back into school routines, think about fall clean up, and close up the cottage for another season and then, the very busy Christmas time of year. It’s also Fire Prevention Week!
Sussex
Fire Department Fire Prevention Week Oct 8 - 14, 2017 Open House: Oct. 14nd 10:00am-1:00pm The Sussex Fire Department
will be doing Fire Prevention Programs at the schools Oct. 10th.
Fire Chief For A Day: Oct. 21st
How much do we know about Fire Prevention Week and why is it such a big deal? Like most annual events, it started with a major event to commemorate a specific moment in history. The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 lasted for two days, October 8th and 9th. Tragically, this fire took the lives of 250 people, destroyed 2000 acres and left 100,000 souls homeless. This fire was a pivotal point in fire safety, prevention and also fire behavior. We learned from this disaster and now, to commemorate and be mindful, the Sunday to Saturday involving October 8th and 9th is observed as Fire Prevention Week in both Canada and US, and has been since 1922.
Every year the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), and OFC (Office of the Fire Commissioner) decide on a theme for Sparky the Fire Dog (NFPA), and Burny the Beaver (OFC) to educate our kids on. They give out neat swag, pencil erasers and cardboard fire truck puzzles. Our kids learn the classic, Stop, Drop & Roll and to practice home escape plans. As the daughter of a firefighter, we practiced our home escape plan as a family on evenings, weekends, and sometimes after work. Dad would let us know it was time to practice and we would drop what we were doing, get out the best way we knew how, and go to our meeting place:

the outdoor dog kennel. Dad chose that spot because of his knowledge of where the fire trucks would need to be positioned in order to properly attack the fire. We were far enough away to be safe and be out of the way of our hard-working volunteers there to save our home and property. I knew, without a doubt, in the event of an emergency at my home we would know what to do. Muscle memory takes over in those situations so it’s best to practice, practice, practice! Fire Prevention Week should serve as a reminder that we really are the best prevention for damage and injury in the event of a fire. We are personally responsible for fire safety: the prevention of fires in the first place, the detection of smoke and fire with working smoke alarms as a second line of defense and a well-rehearsed fire escape plan as the third and most important
action in our evacuation to safety. In 2017, NFPA & OFC wants us to make Every Second Count, Have Two Ways Out. Take a look at the checklist below; are you making every second count?
Replace batteries yearly and alarms every 10 years or at their designated expiration date. In order to be able to react quickly to fire, draw a floor plan of your home showing all possible exits

EXERCISE FOR HEALTH FIGHT DISEASE AND ILLNESS WITH EXERCISE Not many people think of exercise as a tool but exercise is a great way to strengthen your immune system before the upcoming season of cold and flu and numerous other ailments associated with the long dark months of fall and winter. Exercise creates a healthy oxygen exchange in our bodies, this makes us stronger and helps our respiratory system have a thorough cleansing. Have you ever heard the expression “take a deep cleansing breath”? Getting the heart pumping and the blood moving makes our bodies do what they were made to do, in with the new out with the old. Putting your body through a good physical workout creates that healthy oxygen exchange, sweat cleanses the pores, blood pumping strengthens the circulatory system and helps to keep the veins and arteries strong and clean. Exercise also strengthens bones, lubricates our joints, builds strong leans muscles to support our bones and helps to maintain good skin integrity.
Our digestive system also benefits from a good workout it can alleviate gas, heartburn, constipation and stomach cramps and food is processed more efficiently. Remember your digestive system helps provide how much energy your body will be allotted so give it high quality fuel jam packed with protein, carbs, healthy fats and nutrients needed to perform. When it comes to the shortened days of winter our mental health can be affected also exercise gives us a feel good boost, regular workouts help decrease stress, anxiety and depression. Your overall mental health will feel better with exercise, sleep will improve, memory improves and the mind tends to gain clarity. Companionship is often found at the gym since everyone using the facility are generally there for similar reasons they can offer support, motivation and friendship. Exercise is one of the best things you can do to ensure longevity and give yourself

an overall sense of well-being. It doesn’t take a lot of time or energy, it doesn’t cost a lot of money so why not? So why not be your body’s best line of defense when it comes to increased immunity and good health, what have you got to lose? We are not meant to be inactive, Newton had it right when he stated an object in motion stays in motion and people are no different. We should enforce the thought that we need to learn a healthy active lifestyle from an early age but it is never too late to start. 0046

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG NOISE By the title of this essay you might think I am referring to the noise in one's images, rather, I am referring to the noise in our heads. The last two mornings, I was out the door by 6:00am heading for the Hampton Marshes. I was hoping for a form of “Fire Mist,” that occurs when a bright red sunrise lights up the fog in magentas, pinks or reds. I hiked in for 15 minutes to the water's edge. Now, I was immersed in nature. The smell of the water, the cool refreshing feel of the moist air on my face. The fog as it came and went revealing herons and ducks feeding. I did not set up my camera right away, although the imagery was absolutely magnificent, I just allowed myself to be present in the moment. Taking note of the rustle of the leaves in the trees and the Warblers flitting about in the tree behind me. I wanted to be respectful of nature and the gift of that very moment. The first day was about the fog, mist
and the play of light through it. It was ethereal, moody and stunning. Initially, the mist changed colours as the sky behind it changed colours. Then as the sun came over the horizon you could see the spot of light, faintly at first, then appearing like a spotlight trying to punch a hole of light through the fog and washing the opposite side of the marsh in a warm yellow glow. As the fog lifted, wispy hints remained, travelling over the water and among the reeds changing and moving like sails on a ship. On the second day I was hoping for that fire mist again, but there was little fog or mist on the water. But, what was there were high clouds, almost overcast clouds but high, which made for a great sky for the sunrise to project it’s light show upon; and it did not disappoint. Colours so vibrant that if an artist had painted it some might say that they used “too much artistic freedom” but here they were playing out in front of me. I did

not hear the road noise in the distance, or think about the chores that had to be done. I just stood with my mouth agape in awe. Photography is about the light, and the light is often awesome in the morning, so I chased it, but I got more than a few nice images. For a moment I communed with nature, let her turn my head to see and deafen me to the noise behind. Shoot-Print-Share 0032 Photo samples with full column: ossekeag. ca

UPHAM ANNUAL TURKEY SUPPER Here is a little history of the Anglican Parish of Upham Annual Turkey Supper. This Annual Fall supper has been going on for over 50 years. It was started by St. Peter's ACW ladies and now is run by The Anglican Parish of Upham Parishioners and friends of the community. It began in the Hall across from the Old Upham School House. Then it moved over to the Old School House which is now called WI/Seniors Hall and was held there for many years. Now for the Past 20 or so years it is held at Central Kings Rec Center. The monies that we have raised over the years from the supper have helped many Groups and individuals. Some of the ways are helping send kids to camp, donated to fundraisers, donations for events in
COMHALTAS
our community and upkeep of churches. We also started having an Annual Roast Beef Supper in the Spring. Both of our suppers are well attended and we aren't sure if people come for the main meal or our unlimited dessert buffet. We also have a Breakfast Buffet every 2nd Saturday of each month. All of our events are an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful hot meal and an a time of fellowship with friends, neighbors and friends. We would like to thank everyone who has attended and supported our suppers and breakfast over the years. Without people like you, we would not be able to help others as we have in the past and hope to in the future. 4711
Comhaltas offers Traditional Irish music sessions on Tuesdays at O'Leary's Pub (46 Princess Street, Saint John). The session begins at 7:00pm; this is a great opportunity to sit with experienced musicians and learn tunes at a slower pace. We transition to an 'up to speed' session at 7:30. At 8:30 the circle welcomes individual tunes, songs, stories, poetry, jokes, step dance and much more! All are welcome, regardless of experience. Feel free to bring your traditional instrument or your voice and join in - or simply sit with the other bar patrons and enjoy the traditional setting.

WELL RESTED CHILDREN AND SLEEP APNEA People with obstructive sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly through the night because their throat closes off on them. Young children can have sleep apnea too. Pediatric sleep apnea can be caused by facial bone structure, nasal congestion or blockage, allergies and obesity. However, large tonsils and large adenoids are most often the culprits that cause this serious disorder in children. The diameter of a child’s throat is so small to begin with, any enlarged structure there within can easily narrow it further. You may recall a time when you have had swollen tonsils with a sore throat and awoken in the morning knowing that you snored badly the night before because of it. Some children do this every night because of their naturally large tonsils and adenoids. Tonsils and adenoids are structures made of lymphatic tissue that help remove harmful bacteria and other waste from our system. Tonsils are located at the back of the throat, one
on each side. Adenoid tissue is located behind the nose above the soft palate. Tonsils can be viewed protruding at the back of the throat in varying degrees in some individuals. In children with very large tonsils, they can be called “kissing tonsils” as they can actually touch each other. When this happens during sleep, it causes as obstruction in their throat and they can stop breathing. Chronic mouth breathers may have enlarged adenoid tissue. Chronic infections of these areas can cause enlargement and vice versa, meaning the child could very well be suffering from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea in children is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. They usually do not share a room or a bed and when the apneas are happening, the rest of the household is usually asleep as well. Symptoms of sleep apnea in children can include heavy snoring, witnessed apneas, odd sleep positions, restlessness in bed and frequent movements, difficulty getting them up in the morning, behavior
and learning disorders, and poor school performance. These children are sometimes misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The treatment for children with OSA is usually removal of the offending lymphatic tissue. If you suspect that your child has OSA, visit your doctor. Having a recording of the child while sleeping may be helpful. They may send you to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor or order a sleep test at a sleep lab. This is a serious disorder that affects children’s and families lives negatively. It needs attention and treatment so that your child can get on with the business of being a wellrested and healthy kid! 0038 Angie Cummings, BSc RRT, Sussex Sleep Clinic

DOLLARS & SENSE ARE YOU FINANCIALLY PREPARED FOR AN EMERGENCY? Watching what has taken place these past weeks with the hurricanes in the Southern States and the Caribbean really does make you think about being financially prepared for challenging events. Living in Atlantic Canada we are used to a lot of different weather, but are we as prepared as we could be? So how can you prepare financially for unexpected events? Review your financial situation, whether you are preparing for the unexpected or practicing good money management. Most of us go in for an annual review of our investments, but we don’t usually do a full assessment on all our assets, liabilities, insurances and financial needs. It is heart-breaking to watch people upset because they have gone through these extreme events and they do not know whether they have certain coverages or even if they will have a place to sleep that night.
Once you have reviewed your financial situation and compiled what you have, look at your insurance policies. Not everything is covered by insurance, but if you have a good idea of what is and what is not you will be ahead of the game. Here are some questions for you to find out, what does your insurance policies cover regarding your property? Will your insurance cover car rentals? If you could not stay in your home due to damage, does your insurance cover a hotel stay? Most importantly what damage and circumstances does your insurance cover? The following are financial best practices that will benefit you in an emergency: have cash available to get you through a couple days. If power or communication is out, cash may be your only choice in making a purchase; have a financial binder that you can easily access, store and update. This is a listing of accounts, debts, assets. You
can keep copies of insurance policies, birth certificates, health card numbers and important papers; have a list in your wallet of important contact numbers (bank, insurance, etc.). In most cases there is not enough time to go running around the house looking for things. Looking at how you can incorporate some of these ideas will help you. There are many resources that will assist you in becoming financially prepared. 0005

ANNUAL BELLEISLE HARVEST AUCTION The 47th Annual Belleisle Home & School Harvest Auction is taking place at Belleisle Regional High School on Saturday, October 14 with bidding starting at 10:00am. Visitors can expect a mix of exciting changes and old traditions this year. With the loss of long-time auctioneer, Kevin Bond, fellow auctioneer Brian McCullum has stepped up to help with what has become the province's longest running fundraising auction. Brian is joining us this year and is graciously donating his time and services, Brian brings many years of experience to the auction table. His wife, Jo-Anne has also offered to come for the day to help out. Waite said Bond will be sadly missed this year. As a way of recognizing him
for his many years of service, there will be a dedication in his honor at 9:30am. Bev Desruisseau and Marilyn Hovey have handcrafted a quilt in his memory, which will be auctioned off by a member of the Bond family. The Belleisle Home & School Association has also purchased a high school theatre seat in his name – where the annual auction is held – with an engraved plaque commemorating his years of service to the auction. Waite said the key to the auctions' continued success can be summed up in one word – community. “The community and surrounding towns have never failed to amaze us with their generosity to this great cause. We owe them a huge thanks, because it could not be done without their support! 4713

The Sussex Herald
SELF ESTEEM ACCEPT & EMBRACE Life is full of obstacles; ones we must overcome in order to survive. Sometimes, these obstacles are so difficult, we try to deny, ignore or discard them. However, happiness involves accepting and embracing all that comes our way (even if we feel it's negative). Do you find that you often worry? Many of us do, but worrying is created in our minds and it certainly doesn't offer any value to our lives. Worry is full of what ifs and worse case scenarios. You can worry thirty times over and it will not change the situation. Chronic worriers need to know with 100% certainty what's going to happen. They seem to see worrying as a way to predict the future, to avoid surprises and be in control. The problem being that doesn't work. Even though things may not be as we would like or expect them to be, we need to accept and embrace them. We must give up the belief that worrying serves a purpose. It does not! I've read that, “Reality is okay but I
wouldn't wanna live there”. The truth is that in order to be truly happy, we must live there. Sometimes, the reality of a situation saddens, angers and/or frustrates us. We need to confront and accept these feelings. They can show us where it is that we're holding back; exactly where we are stuck. By staying open and curious, we can learn to accept and embrace reality. Take a moment to clear your thoughts. Be alive in this moment. What do you see? Hear? Taste? Feel? Life is not a problem to be solved but rather a reality to be experienced. Life is change. However, many of us attempt to keep things the same. We fight change. But making changes is imperative for a better life. To change, we must learn new healthier steps, routines and step out of our comfort zone. Yes, we expend a lot of energy to stay comfortable. But staying comfortable is not truly being alive. Life begins at the end of your 'comfort zone'. By accepting and embracing change, we become liberated and excited to create
the lives we want. So many of us want to be happy, We think happiness includes excitement, joy, euphoria...but these are all temporary feelings. They will not sustain us for the long haul. Happiness begins (and ends) with you. Accept and embrace all that you are; where you are, how you are, what you are, who you are. Accept that worrying serves no purpose. Embrace reality. Be willing to make positive changes. You have the ability to be happy. Each day is brand new. Accept your amazing self and happiness is sure to embrace you. 0027
