The Sussex Herald
September has arrived and with it comes crisp morning temperatures, fall colours and a sense of new beginnings. I think anyone with children in the school system can agree that the year revolves around the school schedule, rather than starting with the calendar year in January. I have always loved this time of year- as a child I could hardly wait for it to be time to buy school supplies and would spend hours arranging and rearranging my school books and supplies, packing my new back pack days in advance. I still get excited to see the supplies arrive in the store (who doesn’t like new stationary?) but now fall is more about getting back into a routine after the lazy, hazy days of summer. This is especially true this year. Emma is almost two months old (I can’t believe how quickly time is passing) and mommy and baby are getting to know each other and develop our own little routines. After a four day hospital stay, followed by another four weeks of restricted activities, I’m thrilled to be able to regain a little independence and get back to normal. When I first came home, I was under strict instructions to rest, and was not permitted to lift anything heavier than Emma- thank goodness she was so tiny or even that may have been frowned upon. Who would have ever thought I would miss being able to do house work but four weeks of not being able to drive, garden, mop the floor or pickup my nephew(s) or cats was even more exhausting than handling the late-night and early morning feedings. Emma also loves this new-found freedom. She is
so happy and engaged when we are out visiting friends and family, enjoying her walks and driving in the car. Visits with Grammie and Grampie Jim for snuggles and cuddles or walks with Nanny are a treat and Emma particularly enjoys visiting daddy at work where she is spoiled by the staff and customers alike. She has some of her best naps at my sister’s house in Petitcodiac, surrounded by two dogs, two cats, six hamsters, one three month old, and as many as six older children running around and Emma seems to be embracing our busy lifestyle. Kevin and I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by so much love! From offers to help with cat-sitting before Emma was born, to baby-sitting and house cleaning when we came home, our family and friends have been a god-send. We have also been privileged to receive Facebook messages, emails and comments from our readers and members of the community. Your kindness and thoughtfulness are overwhelming and we would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support. 0001

HOPE AFTER STROKE Our name is Hope after Stroke Incorporated. We are a newly founded non-profit support group for stroke and brain injury survivors, created by survivors, for survivors and caregivers. We know all too well just how difficult physically, mentally and emotionally the recovery process is after a life-changing illness. There was only one support group in the whole province and we decided we needed to do something about this! We do not want who we are, to overshadow what we are doing. As survivors we have walked in the same shoes, understand the fears, frustration and know the gap that exists between hospital to home. We are trying to fill that gap by working with the hospital and Heart and Stroke Foundation to facilitate a course called Living Stroke, a six to eight week course for stroke patients that have been rehabilitated, released and have re entered their home and community. As stroke survivors, who better to teach this course than someone who has gone through it, along with health care professionals. Our mission is to continually SEEK: support, education, empower and kindness. To do this we are in need of survivors, volunteers, funding and experienced board members that can help us to continually grow in a positive direction for all survivors and caregivers. Any and all help that we receive from the Saint John and surrounding area is greatly appreciated. For Info: Wendy McKinnon at 506-3333131 or wrmckinnon@hotmail.com. 4679

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE DROP YOUR DEBT OR PUT MONEY IN THE MARKET Pay down debt before you invest has been a common-sense financial strategy for a long time. But these days, the pay down debt or invest debate isn’t as clear cut as it used to be. Ever since people started borrowing money centuries ago they also started worrying about being in debt. For most people, being debt-free – and in control of your income – is good for the mind, the soul and the wallet. However, what has changed these days are ultra-low interest rates and a robust capital market where one could conceivably make more money investing than paying down debt. There are many reasons why paying down debt first makes sense. It delivers a risk-free, after-tax return. This is especially true when you consider costly, high-interest credit card debt. The more you put towards paying off debt, the more you save in interest costs and that can equal more money in your pocket. It can also have a profound emotional
impact. In 2012, a study out of the University of Nottingham* looked at the links between debt and depression and found that those who had trouble paying their debt obligations also showed evidence of poor psychological health. Paying off credit card debt first makes the most sense, because rates are often high and so are the health consequences. But when it comes to mortgage debt, the question becomes harder to answer. With some people paying below 3% fixed and variable rates these days, the cost of carrying this type of debt is far lower than it has been in the past. At the same time, the S&P/TSX Composite Index has returned 4.6% annualized over the last five years, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices, which is higher than the mortgage rate you’re paying. In other words, if your debt is affordable, putting extra cash towards an investment with the potential for a higher return

IN THE GARDEN WATER... THAT MOST PRECIOUS The life giving gift from the heavens, seems to be evading us; however the shortage of it should be keeping us mindful of its value and our responsibility in conserving it. There is no doubt that it has dramatic impact on what we are able to accomplish in the garden, with soil compacted to a concrete like substance digging is a positive chore; so what to do? Well... even though the fruit crop may not be the juiciest in history, there is still a viable crop of berries and apples and in preparation for the season ahead. One can get a good start on stowing away preserves; currant jellies of all persuasions have a mighty Vitamin C content and a spoonful of the same in a mug of hot water is as good a cure/ preventive measure for colds as any medication, pleasant on the taste buds and a soothing invitation to sleep! We are surrounded by all sorts of goodies in the garden and countryside
that need no heavy digging to harvest and that provide a wealth of free entertainment and lasting pleasure on a cold winter day. Now is the hour (remember that waltzy WWII song?) to gather Fir and Pine cones and the abundance of flowers, wild and tame, to create table centres and arrangements; great ideas for gifting and wonderful for crafts of many kinds. If you have access to either a Buckeye or Horse Chestnut, the sky's the limit; growing up during the war was certainly a challenge and we learned to make the best of what was available, these wonderful trees opened the door of our imaginations and we produced amazing furniture for dolls houses with the help of yarn and straight pins. Another great activity for children is the creating of miniature gardens, using the mosses and seed pods that abound in gardens, woodlands and even roadside ditches; the gathering of these things can make for a wonderful family
adventure that can be enjoyed without spending any money and of course, can be a great way of teaching the value of our natural world. Waiting... while we wait for the skies to deliver, may we spare a thought and a prayer for those poor souls in Texas and elsewhere who have had an overdose of water and wild weather, as we count our blessings with thankfulness. Blessings. 0039

FAMILY MATTERS PARENTING AND MENTAL HEALTH A person's parenting role can be closely tied to their mental health. Parenting can be both a source of stress and joy, as well as a source of hope, love and motivation. For these reasons, it can be helpful to spend some time reflecting on the following. Do just a few things. Or maybe even just one thing, especially during long weekends and holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Instead of cooking an entire family dinner – delegate and ask others to do something like meal prep or dishes. Use a family calendar to keep yourself organized. Consistent use of a family calendar helps you and your family recognize your family’s routine which allows for proper planning. Regular use of a calendar, open for everyone to see, can limit overwhelming your schedule, anxiety and stress. Look for ways of conserving your energy. Give yourself a break and take a few shortcuts. It’ll definitely cut down on parenting stress. Instead of baking
dozens of cookies from scratch, buy pre-made dough and have your kiddos cut out the cookies and decorate them. Less effort for you, more fun for them. Don’t overcommit to activities. Remember, you are not the only person in your community who can volunteer. You do not have to carry the load. Pick one fun volunteer activity and feel good about your contribution. Don’t make any big changes. Avoid making any major changes or decisions when you don’t feel mentally up to it. Wait until a much less stressful time where you may be more confident and assured. Balance your time. Ensure your life has a good balance of social, family, work and alone time. During your “me time”, get out of your house and away from all your obligations so you can decompress for a little while – it can really help to reset your mood. Exercise and sleep. If you are dealing with depression and/or anxiety, sleep

Fall
Home Improvement THE PERSONALITY OF DESIGN Before I kick this off, there is something I must admit. When I was asked to provide content pertaining to Fall Home Improvement, I was a little lost in figuring out what to write. I’m not very familiar with design concepts and trends, so it was hard to find a good starting point. After all, whenever I’m out at the mall with my friends or family, the design section is there only to walk through, maybe with the occasional glance at a painting or for the ten-minute sheet-pick up. So with my adolescent brain and the basic fundamentals of being a teenager, I decided
to broaden my horizons in the world of design. In keeping with the code of novice learning, I googled it.

I had enough of a vocabulary to recognize certain furniture pieces. Day beds and fluffy rugs, seemed to be a recurring theme; but to those who were present in the room, I probably looked similar to a child with one of those old “match the word to the picture” books. In other words, I had no idea what I was looking at, other than associating the word with the object; my kindergarten teacher would be proud. With self-confidence brimming with mediocrity, I decided to visit the brand new, one million dollar Hospital Home Lottery Dream House. Thinking that a first-hand experience would be of some benefit, I wandered around aimlessly from room to room, trying to decipher what it is that makes the home so appealing to people. Then I got to thinking, why is it that just about every piece of design that I had explored was nothing other than white, greys, muted blues and various other pale hues and light colours? Keeping in mind that, in the case of the dream home, neutral tones allows people to envision themselves better, why do most design suggestions make all houses similar? Is it not the point of design to be a reflection of the person who lives in the home? Consider this; when you look at a group of people, any group of people, try to spot their similarities. Chances are a couple will be wearing glasses and a few with blonde hair, but look a little closer. It is here, when you look at the details that you see the personality come through. The frames of the glasses
are different styles; the hair is cut in different ways. No two people have exactly the same clothing styles either. Could you imagine if we were all forced to wear the same everything; glasses, clothes, even have the same haircut? That would be, essentially, stripping away that person’s expression of their personality. Sounds pretty bleak am I right?
After all it is our differences that make us who we are. As a society, we have demanded this right of selfexpression and the ability to be who we are. With that in mind, why do we subscribe to the idea of the house with the white picket fence and perfect beige-boring interiors? If this is you, then own it and love it, but for those of us who try to keep

Home Improvement up with all the trends and hold ourselves to the quote, “picture perfect lifestyle”, it might be time to embrace the forgotten truth: Your house is a reflection of you and your personality. Remember the line that your
parents gave you back when you went to school for the first time? Or maybe you have given the line to your own child: Just be yourself. It’s important to practice what we preach; our homes are the perfect place to start. Just be yourself and
do what you want with your home; if bright colours are your thing, have at it and paint that dining room as yellow as the sunshine! Love those classic studies and offices of the Victorian age? Then buy some wood, dark stain, and

EXCITING NEWS FOR SOBEYS AND FOOD BANKS The New Brunswick Association of Food Banks is honoured to partner with Sobeys on a new retail food program that will get more food to those who need it. Thanks to new corporate guidelines introduced by Sobeys, surplus food that is close to or past its best before date but still safe for consumption or use, will now be donated and distributed to those in need. The new program is launching at Sobeys stores across New Brunswick after a successful pilot project in three markets including Halifax and New Glasgow, Nova Scotia and here at home in Moncton. Food safety is a top priority for Sobeys and the New Brunswick Association of Food Banks. Both parties recognize the important difference between a best before date and an expiry date and no items that have passed the expiry date will be donated. Dry, shelfstable foods that have passed their best before date and meet Food Bank Canada’s consumption date guidelines will be donated, including canned and dry grocery products. Fresh foods that cannot be frozen will be donated close to but not past their best before date, and distributed same day for quick
consumption. Fresh foods that can be frozen (e.g. meats, seafood and dairy) will be frozen on or before their best before date and then donated and distributed while frozen. Some health and beauty items will also now be donated. Logistics are in place to ensure the safe handling and transportation of all donated items. “This is a big step for all of us,” said Laurie Stewart, President of the New Brunswick Association of Food Banks. “Sobeys has taken an extremely comprehensive and open approach in getting to this point, and we’re excited by the commitment they’ve shown and the volume and variety of food that our member agencies will now have access to. Sobeys is already our largest corporate food donor and this partnership will see donations grow exponentially across the province.” Since launching at Sobeys Vaughan Harvey in early April, Food Depot Alimentaire has received approximately 36,000 kg of new food donations from Sobeys Mountain Road, Elmwood Drive and Vaughan Harvey locations including frozen meat and fresh produce. This equates to more than 80,000 meals and enables the New Brunswick
Sobeys Partnership: (L-R) Paul MacLeod, VP Operations for Sobeys & Laurie Stewart, President of NBAFB Association of Food Banks to distribute more balanced meals to those in need. “Sobeys is committed to proudly serving its communities, and supporting food banks and the important work they do is key to ensuring food access for everyone in Atlantic Canada,” added Paul MacLeod, Vice President Atlantic Store Operations, Sobeys Inc. “This new approach will ensure more food makes it to the tables of those who need it most and we take great pride in being the grocery retailer in Atlantic Canada that is leading the way on surplus food donations.” 4699
