Education will likely be a hot topic during the election campaign, but I wonder if anyone will offer a truly viable solution to improving our educational outcomes. I believe that the research shows quite clearly that if children enter the school system unprepared socially, emotionally and are behind in core skills, the school system faces a steep uphill and expensive battle to bring the child up to the desired level of performance.

I would suggest that the biggest problem may not be with our schools but with our pre-school support for children and parents. Learning begins in the womb, and the health of the mother during pregnancy can have a permanent impact on the lifelong abilities of the child. Following birth, lack of emotional support, lack of adequate stimulation both physical and intellectual, can also leave permanent scars that impair future learning. We therefore need to focus much more of our attention on the early years so that the educational system is fed by students ready and able to learn.

While I can respect many things that were done by former premier Frank McKenna, dismantling our vocational training abilities at the high school level, is not one of them. Even if we have young healthy (physically, emotionally, socially, intellectually) students entering the school system, there will always be distinct differences in students interests and abilities.

office job using a computer will only satisfy a percentage of students. More career options need to be offered.

Based on my teaching experience at UNBSJ, somewhere between 20% and 30% of the students in their first year are probably wasting their time and money. While all learning is good, having a bare pass as an Arts major will do very little for your employment prospects. Having a good technical or trades diploma probably offers far better employment opportunities and earnings for the future.

We need to do more to ensure that our youth are counselled and schooled in a way that is appropriate to their intellectual capacity, but also their passions and interests. An individual with a high IQ but a passion for cooking is likely better off to go for the cooking than the Arts degree.

While, our current school system may need some fixing, I have been generally extremely pleased what our grandgranddaughter has experienced in her first three years of the educational system. 0001

Move your family back into routine seamlessly (NC) Did you know that there are simple ways to ease children back into their fall routine, and even get them excited about it? From creating an upbeat yet relaxing environment in your home, to finding fun ways to schedule and organize activities, Sally Morse, the director of creative services for leading window treatment company, Hunter Douglas, offers her tips: • Wake Them With Awe – Since alarm clocks can be harsh for children, start their day with just the right amount of beautiful, filtered morning light. The Platinum App from Hunter Douglas allows users to create timed “scenes” for their window treatments with one swipe on their mobile device. Or, you can move all shades, or one shade at a time, in real time. “Kids will really get a kick out of watching their window shades rise,” Morse points out. “Changing the light is a subtle way to give them a nudge that the day is here and ready to be started.”

• Study Sanctuary – Since the assignments don’t end when the school day does, it’s important for children to come home to

an environment where they can do their homework and be able to concentrate while studying. “Many classrooms for young children are decorated with bright colours and educational décor, so why not bring that look home?” says Morse.

Even if you don’t have an extra room to decorate, you can easily dedicate a corner of a bedroom to a study space.

“Bright desks, chalkboards and maps with fun colours and symbols are nice ways to encourage children during homework time.”

family on the same page. “Schedules can easily be mapped out on large, decorative calendars or message boards.

Try putting them in the kitchen or mud room,” she advises. “Creating a less hectic environment is important when starting the school year because kids can feel it when parents are overwhelmed.”

Don’t be dreading the first day of school.

Instead, share the excitement with the whole family and watch the rest fall into place.

• Planning and Reminders – While keeping a personal notebook of appointments and reminders is a good way to stay on top of things, Morse suggests using common areas as well to get the whole

Breakfast equals success in school (NC) A recent study confirms that Canadians agree with the old adage “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”

A recent poll revealed that 94 per cent of Canadian parents believe that having a nutritious breakfast is important in helping children succeed in school.

Unfortunately, it appears that many children are not setup for success: 31 per cent of elementary school students and 62 per cent of secondary school students say they do not eat a healthy breakfast before school.

This disparity between a family’s understanding of the need for a nutritious start to the day and kids actually having one, highlights the importance of nutrition programs at our schools, say observers in this field. More than one third of parents say their child has participated in a breakfast, lunch or snack program.

“Westrive to help kids live up to their full potential and when children go to school hungry that just isn’t possible,” says Peggy Hornell, the executive director of President’s Choice Children’s Charity

(PCCC). “Nutrition programs allow kids to focus on learning instead of on their hungry tummies – and the fight against childhood hunger has increasingly become the focus for PCCC,” she adds.

Canada is the only G8 country without a national school-based feeding program, according to a 2013 Conference Board of Canada study. Many nutrition programs are funded by corporate sponsorships and charitable organizations like President’s Choice Children’s Charity.

Last year alone, the charity provided

more than 2.5 million meals to 430,000 children through its partnerships with Breakfast for Learning and with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, who operate in thousands of communities across the country.

Children who go to school hungry risk lifelong consequences and development challenges, Hornell points out. By supporting not-for-profit organizations like PCCC every day, we can all make a positive impact on the lives of these kids immediately as well as long term.

EMPLOYMENT

Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s restaurant and catering with another answer to your question. This week I was asked about pickling which of course led to a long discussion.

Pickling is the process of preserving food by anaerobic fermentation in brine or vinegar. The resulting food is called a pickle. This procedure gives the food a salty or sour taste. It began as a way to preserve the harvest food to last the winter. Back before refrigeration, we could not freeze food and we needed to find ways to keep it from going bad. This was one of the ways.

Pickling is the act of increasing the pH to more the 4.6. This is the amount that kills any bacteria yet still leaves the food edible.

The Most common pickling is done with vinegar, sugar, salt and flavours such as cinnamon, mustard seed and dill. Some countries would just soak the vegetables

in a high salt content such as sauerkraut or kimchi. By pickling your vegetables, some meats, eggs and fruit, you were able to keep some of the integrity of the food.

They would still have a crunch to them or retain their appearance.

Another form of preserving food was canning. A much harder process but did not add flavour, sourness or salt to the food. This is done by removing all bacteria by cooking the food then adding it to a sterile environment. Remember back to my article about bacteria; if you remove temperature, moisture or oxygen from food, most bacterias could not grow.

In this case we are removing oxygen.

The last way I am going to talk about is chutneys. Not as common in this area of the world but very common in warmer climates. Chutneys are very similar to pickling but you would cook the food prior to adding it to the jar. This would make a more mushy product but would still preserved the food until the next growing season.

Pickling and preserving food became

PICKLES, PICKLES, PICKLES

part of our culture. Families would come together every harvest time and spend days getting ready for the winter. Some families would do some vegetables in large quantity and other families would do different items and they would exchange - not for money, but that is how communities worked. That’s how traditions start. Pickling unfortunately is a dying skill. Families are too busy today to get together for this tradition. Recipes are being forgotten and lost. It easier to just go buy our favourite pickles then create our own. I hope it comes back some day and if anyone has a recipe they don’t want to lose, share it on the internet, on your Facebook page and let a piece of your traditions live on. 0040

POINT OF vIEW MY HAPPY PLACE I think most of us have that one favourite place that defines happy for them. For some, it might be their cottage, a favourite fishing hole, or a Sunday drive for ice cream.

For me, that favourite place is a proverbial symbol of summer and relaxation – the hammock. And, the best part? I don't have to leave my back yard to get there.

It's nothing more than a sling suspended between two trees and I love it. It's my happy place.

Those who know me well know that I love silence and solitude. It's my way of recharging after interacting with people all day. With my book in one hand and blanket in the other, I climb into my little piece of heaven, get comfy, take a deep breath and just savour the quiet beauty that surrounds me.

As I lie there under the shade of our giant maple trees, I take time to appreciate the things money can't buy. I'm grateful for

by diane mcmillan

the clean country air that we breathe.

Well, except for those times when that air is filled with scents of nature's fertilizer.

What can I say – we live in farm country!

I love the feel of a gentle breeze, as it rustles the leaves overhead. In a few weeks time, those leaves will be changing to beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange, and falling to the earth in preparation for winter. I love the little brook that runs through our property.

The sound of water trickling by can lull me to sleep like rain falling on a tin roof.

Did I mention that a hammock is a great place to take a nap, too?

There's the sounds of the crickets chirping, the birds singing and wooden wind chimes being played by the wind.

Oh, and I can't forget the sky. I prefer it when it's blue and there isn't snow or rain falling from it, but that's a discussion for dear Mother Nature.

I dare say we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. We're surrounded by hills and valleys, covered bridges, two beautiful nine-hole golf

courses, two great restaurants, two award-winning wineries, community pool, the Belleisle Bay, and Midland Ice Caves. Oh, and did I mention we're also home to the province's longest running fundraising auction – the Belleisle Home & School Harvest Auction?

The next time you're feeling a little down, I dare you to pay attention to the little things all of us take for granted. There's beauty all around us, we just have to take a moment to look at it, smell it, feel it, taste it and appreciate it.

I prefer to do it from the comfort of my hammock, but any place will do.

If you have a comment or column idea, I'd love to hear from you.

My e-mail is diane@ ossekeag.ca.

If you’re living in an older home and have been there for awhile no doubt you’ve had a peek out your windows, but have you had a good look at them?

Older windows are much less efficient than newer models. While it will cost you a bit to have them replaced you will most likely save money on your heating bills if your windows are over twenty years old.

Whether this option is right for you is a personal decision, and it may be a long time before your new windows give you a net gain, but they will increase the value of your house as well.

Does the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet keep you up at night? Well it should because at a drip rate of one drop per second you’re drip drip dripping away 720 liters of water per month. Add to that a toilet that constantly runs and you’re wasting a lot of water and power.

So while leaky faucets may seem like a minor annoyance, they can be a huge money waster that adds up over time.

Seeing our lawns turn green again is a sure sign of spring, and having a lush green yard can be great for backyard entertaining in the summer. But did you know that Fall is a great time to catch up on a little lawn maintenance.

With the cold winds of winter fast approaching now is a great time to check your windows and doors to make sure that the weather stripping is still doing a good job at keeping the cold out and the warm in. If you need help determining where heat (and therefore money) is leaking out of your house, call an efficiency expert and get a second opinion on the matter.

Not all home improvements are created equal though. Some fetch a much higher return on your investment than others. Remodelling a kitchen or bathroom will have a high rate of return for the money you’ve invested into your house. Provided you sell while it’s still fresh and fashionable. Other improvements like windows will likely only raise the value of your home by half of the cost of purchasing and installing them, but white vinyl windows don’t really go out of style so that investment

If a splash of colour is what you think your house needs, don’t forget to prime your walls first. Using a primer helps the paint stick better and show off it’s true colours. If you are going from a dark colour to a light colour, you will definitely want to prime first to help give the lighter colour a bit of a boost.

If you’re adding a darker colour to a white or light wall, you may be able to skip the primer all together. Be sure to ask when you go to pick out your paints whether or not you’ll also need a primer.

While our days are still warm, there is no doubt that the morning air is a sign that leaves are soon to change.

In truth, New Brunswickers are able to harvest from the spring thaw until at least January. We go from spring harvested root vegetables and fiddleheads to frozen kale and coldframe spinach. However, autumn is the time of the year when local food is most abundant and we should all take advantage of that.

In my opinion, the best thing you could do for the economy is buy local food. At Kredl's, there isn't a time of year when less than 40% of the products are local. Even that only lasts a few months. The rest of the year,

Kredl's is able to stock its shelves with anywhere from 60%-80% Maritime grown produce, almost all of that being from within a 100 mile radius.

If a million dollars is spent online or in a store with headquarters outside of the province, that million dollars is basically worth a million dollars.

However, if a million dollars is spent on local food, the store that sells it pays around 30% of that directly into the hands of local employees. 50%60% of that million will go to the local farmers, who also spend about 30% (sometimes higher in agriculture) on local employees. If the local employees turn around and buy local food, and they along with the store and the farmer also locally-source their supplies, repairs, and all the other items that cannot be produced here, then the million dollars passes through half a dozen hands before it falls out of the system. This makes one million dollars more like five or six million dollars.

So this harvest season, think about where you are buying your food and most importantly, think about where your $100-$200 a week on groceries goes. How many people can it benefit in your community before it leaves the province? I don't expect you to eat 100% local food, but from now until the new year, see if you can buy 50% locally GROWN food. According to the NB Dept. of Ag, in the last two decades, we have lost 22% of our farms. We are lucky to still be able to buy a plethora of locally grown fruit, greens, legumes, root vegetables, eggs, fish, dairy, meat, bread baked with local flour, grains and the list goes on. Happy harvest season! 0039

FIVE TIPS TO BUYING YOUR NEXT CAR ON KIJIJI The vehicle listings on classified websites are often light on graphics and always free of oversight, and cruising them can be an eyeopening experience. Usable at no cost for most sellers, half-truths are plentiful in the listings, and vehicle histories are rare, leaving it to you to connect the dots. Yet websites like Kijiji and Auto Trader can be a highly effective tool for locating the car of your dreams.

1. Hone your search. These websites allow users to configure their search results to include dealers, private sellers, or both. If a warranty or fresh MVI’s are high on your list of priorities, you’ll want to restrict yourself to dealer listings. On the other hand, if driving for two-hours to look at rust-ravaged, Vietnam-era forward control Jeep that “ran when parked” is your thing, you already know the drill: private sellers all the way. Still, the “both” setting can be handy when looking for a nice commuter car or winter beater, as most dealers will offer such things, and the private sale sector is chalked full of them.

2. Size up the seller. It’s true you can’t judge a book by its cover, but the type contained within

can be quite revealing. Avoid ALL CAPS ads, grainy image ads, and thinly veiled ‘it’s on it’s way’ buzzwords like ‘blows cold air, or stops on a dime’.

seller to meet at any mechanic and have it run through the shop for an MVI – then you can make an intelligent decision. Second – DEMAND a Carproof! It’s worth its weight in gold.

3. Call first, then meet up. Get as much information about the vehicle as you can on the phone – no texting! —and always ask if more photos are available or can be taken, especially of problem areas—and try to pick up on the seller’s character. There’s nothing worse than carving an hour out to drive across town only to be greeted by a seller who says, “Well, I was just kinda throwing out a feeler, not sure if I really want to sell it at this point.” Of course, it goes without saying- DO NOT go alone. This isn’t speed dating, and we want you to buy safely Meeting on common ground is always a good idea, and if the seller agrees, make arrangements to meet at a well-lit, mutually agreeable location.

5. Negotiate. Everything is negotiable. Even if a seller states that a price is firm, the very nature of these websites and its low price of free to advertise encourages ambitious pricing.

Haggling as portrayed on television, however, where the seller lets the car go for half of the price rarely happens in the real world. It’s OK to start low, but insulting a seller with an absurdly low number can quickly sour a deal. Try asking the seller what their bottom dollar is, and then counter with an offer 15 to 20 percent below that figure.

4. Dealers of Wholesale/Private Sellers of the Same. Often dealers will take in on trade vehicles that are old, it may run for a year – but what do you want for $500? GET THE MVI check – it’s only $25. Headed to a private sale? Ask the

Whether you are headed to a dealer, or to a private sale, using these few tips that I was taught long ago can keep you from buying a lemon, or simply from putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation. Happy Car Hunting!

Relieve your joint and muscle pain proactively (NC) Arthritis can strike anyone at anytime, regardless of age or physical condition, often with devastating and debilitating effects. According to The Arthritis Society, by 2036 the expected number of Canadian adults living with this affliction will increase from 4.6 to 7.5 million. If you live with arthritisinduced joint pain, there are simple ways to help alleviate discomfort and prevent further pain or even injury, as follows: Exercise While pain and stiffness may discourage you from being active, exercise can help reduce pain and improve overall strength. Making sure you chose the appropriate form of exercise is important to preventing further pain or damage; you want to build muscle but avoid overextension that may cause further damage. Consider aerobic and strengthening exercises such as swimming, biking and weight training.

If you’re sitting at your desk or watching TV, stretch periodically and shift your position so that you don’t become stiff.

Medication Mild and occasional pain goes hand-in-hand with arthritis and can sometimes be alleviated with a hot or cold compress and some rest. However, more consistent pain and stiffness may require additional treatment such as an over-the-counter pain reliever like Aleve, which offers up to 12 hours of relief with just one pill.

Emotional Awareness Chronic discomfort as a result of muscle and joint pain can have a serious impact on your mood. Unable to progress through your day as you’re used to, the emotional side effects can be debilitating. If you find yourself developing a negative attitude, consider a lifestyle change or therapy to keep your outlook positive. A combination of behavioural and talk therapy can help you overcome self-destructive feelings such as frustration and anger.

A significant lifestyle change such as quitting smoking or losing weight can also help to alleviate pain associated with arthritis.

The Arthritis Society, by 2036 the expected Number of Canadian adults living with this affliction will increase from 4.6 to 7.5 million.

IN THE GARDEN by betty kennett WATER; WATER EVERYWHERE, YET SCARCE A DROP IN HAMPTON...

At the time of writing, the constant prediction by the weather chaps of much needed rain seem to have gone the way of political campaign promises! Small parcels of the countryside have been blessed but for many of us the ground is too hard and dry to work. How to combat the drought is of key interest!

The first thing to do is to minimise the amount of foliage that will slurp up the rain when it does come; within a short amount of time it will be necessary to cut back the Siberian Iris to about six inches, the German bearded need to be cleaned up, all the dry leaves removed and the remainder reduced to a fan shape with the tallest remaining at about eight inches. Most of the Day Lilies have finished blooming and they can be chopped back to about six inches

and all the detritus removed from the base, these actions will doubtless reveal a horde of lively earwigs that feast on the roots, so have a bottle of the magic elixir handy (AKA as 1 Tablespoon of dish detergent in a Litre of water). By doing these jobs now you can chalk up a fall job as done, money in the bank! Any flowers that have finished blooming need to be cut off at their base, Astilbe suffer greatly in the dry spells and will bound back faster if they don’t have to support a mass of flower stalks.

This is also a good time to do a measured pruning of bushes and trees, as you work at this it is wise to step way back from the bush at regular intervals to make sure that the job is shaping up in the desired fashion, it’s very easy to get carried away and end up with a bald looking or lop sided affair, (reminiscent of the hair do’s that my boys endured at their mother’s hands).

Most bushes benefit from having their lower branches removed... unless of course you are layering Forsythia and

the like to produce new bushes... Lilacs certainly do better if about a quarter of their new shoots are severed at ground level and any branches over four years old should be sawn off at root level; if this is not done the life of the bush and the quality of bloom will be severely threatened. So, the trick is to reduce as much as possible the amount of water that the plants need to take up to support the foliage that they have.

It goes almost without saying, that any weeds should be removed, not only for water conservation but also to prevent their seed from springing into life the second the rain begins to fall.

Enjoy the sun but please, pray for RAIN! Blessings.

FARM SAFETY

S AFE T Y FARM YOUNG AMPUTEE’S STORY HIGHLIGHTS IMPORTANCE OF FARM SAFETY With the harvest season approaching, farmers will be breaking out their augers and other heavy machinery which can pose a serious danger, especially to kids. The agricultural industry is among

the top three most hazardous in Canada to work in, according to the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association. This is something 24-year-old Mark Arendz knows all too well.

Mark was seven when his father was unloading grain from a truck on their Prince Edward Island farm. Always keen to help, Mark noticed the grain was not flowing to the auger properly so he gave it a little push.

Mark said when he was in the hospital he did not initially realize he lost his left arm. “I had a really large bandage on my stump, I thought they just folded my arm…It didn’t really sink in until they took off the bandages and I could see it (the stump).”

He was soon after enrolled in The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, where he was eligible to receive funding for artificial limbs, counselling and invaluable resources.

As Mark got older, he started giving War Amps PLAYSAFE presentations to schools and riding in parades on The War Amps PLAYSAFE float, educating kids about farm and neighbourhood dangers.

Although Mark’s amputation has not stopped him from living a full and active life, his story illustrates the dangers that exist on farms and how quickly an accident can happen.

Janny Arendz, Mark’s Mom, says giving PLAYSAFE presentations has been important to him. “I think he feels that by doing them he can prevent somebody else from getting hurt.”

Mark has also attended various CHAMP seminars where he was a Junior Counsellor, acting as a role model and providing advice to younger amputees.

How to make the most of your local Pharmacist (NC) There was a time when the family doctor’s office was the only place Canadians could go for health care and advice. With the ever-growing demands on our health care system, there has been a move to increase the capacity of all health care professionals to increase accessibility to primary care.

Pharmacists have emerged as part of the solution. In fact, a recent poll of family physicians found almost half (44 per cent) agreed expanding pharmacists’ scope of care could help reduce wait times in their office.

The challenge now becomes making sure Canadians are aware of the many services pharmacists

now provide. According to a recent poll commissioned by Shoppers Drug Mart, almost half of Canadians (48 per cent) were unaware pharmacists provide health services in addition to filling prescriptions.

With this in mind, below are just a few of the services people may not be aware pharmacists can provide in many provinces.

Managing medications – Pharmacists are medication experts and a key resource on both over-the-counter and prescription medications. They can provide medication organizers that help ensure drugs are taking at the correct time. They also offer medication reviews – a one-on-one meeting to help individuals understand how to safely and effectively use all their medications.

Medication reviews allow pharmacists to identify potential conflicts and address them by recommending a dosing change, a change of drug, or even a change in the way a medication is taken.

Administering vaccinations – As more and more provinces empower pharmacists to administer flu vaccinations, Canadians have increasingly come to rely on them for this important service. However, pharmacists in many regions can administer other preventative immunizations, including most travel vaccinations.

Counselling on more than prescriptions – Pharmacists can help you select vitamins and over the-counter products that are right for you. Pharmacists can also give health and lifestyle advice on managing common chronic conditions like arthritis and diabetes. And, they are able to provide counsel on the prevention and treatment of minor ailments – everything from seasonal allergies to bug bites to head lice.

Over and above these services, pharmacists are also available without an appointment and have flexible hours, making them more accessible than many other health care providers.

LIZZIE:

arrived at the Sanctuary on September 1st in good health. She is an 8 to 10 week old tabby kitten with white on her chest and paws. Her eyes are amber color. All to say, a real cutie.

Although she arrived at the Sanctuary a short time ago, she has made herself at home. Affectionate, purrs at will and is very playful of course; moving toes under the bedsheets are a great target for her to pounce on and attack.

As the Sanctuary’s space availability for new felines is nil (presently we have 21 Kittens under 6 months and 45 Adults), Lizzie needs a permanent home as soon as possible. If interested in adopting her, please contact the Sanctuary.

How to protect your brain as you age (NC) As we age, our brain shrinks and our cognitive effort and memory decline. But, how concerned are we about our brain health? Research from the International Federation on Ageing (IFA) shows that 86 per cent of Canadians are concerned about the health of their brain as they age, however, only two per cent are most concerned about illnesses like atrial fibrillation (AF), which can lead to a debilitating kind of stroke. What’s

more, of those who know that it is possible to maintain a healthy brain as they age, more than half (51 per cent) admit they don’t know how to.

Know the Facts • Atrial fibrillation is the most common irregular heart rhythm disorder that affects primarily people aged 55+.

• After the age of 55, the incidence of AF doubles with each decade of life.

2014-2015 Learn to Skate programs in Southern New Brunswick

• Twenty per cent of strokes are caused

by AF, and strokes due to AF tend to be more severe and can cause greater disability, such as paralysis, pain, loss of speech and understanding.

So how can you protect your noggin as you age?

Know Your Risk of AF: AF puts you at a three to five times greater risk of having a stroke. Determine your risk, learn about the management options, and stay informed. If you have AF, talk to your doctor about your options to ensure you’re getting the treatment that offers the best protection from all types of strokes.

Eat Brain Healthy: Eating a balanced diet from the four food groups, like vegetables and fruit, whole-grain products, lower-fat milk products and alternatives, and lower-fat meat and alternatives, may reduce your risk of stroke.

Keep Moving: It’s never too late to get moving. Physical activity, like walking, gardening and yoga may reduce your risk of stroke – which is especially important as we age.

LISTEN IN by Jeff liberty THE TAPER The art and hobby known as taping has been around for decades with early recordings by folk and blues music archivist. It was popularized in the late 60's as fans of the Grateful Dead. I have always been interested in taping (and Live Recordings) and a musical friend of mine Colin Waldschutz has been doing it for awhile.

Jeff - How did you first get into taping?

Colin - I am a long time listener of live recordings, mainly from open taping bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish. I started recording shows locally that no one else was taping. I wanted to have a souvenir or record of the local live shows from both local and touring bands.

Jeff - What artists actually verbalize publically that they don't mind if folks tape their shows?

Colin - There are many artists who allow taping, and encourage it. Some larger acts like Phish set aside special tickets and a reserved portion of the venue (usually

behind the soundboard) for tapers to set up and record their shows. Many other acts such as moe., Blues Traveler, Galactic (all coming to Harvest this year) allow and encourage taping. The realization is that allowing decent gear to record their shows produces better results than the multitude of incomplete handheld iphone and camera recordings floating around. The idea that live recording is “bootlegging” is old fashioned. Many venues stick with their generic “no recording devices” approach which is too bad, because they are only preventing people who could make a really good recording.

Jeff - Very good point! What is a somewhat ideal environment to tape in?

Colin - I record with mics and a mic stand.

Anywhere you can get the mics up and out of the crowd to avoid the chatter of the crowd is essential. 10 feet or more is usually good, and then somewhere relatively centred from behind the soundboard to about halfway to the stage. That will give you the most reliable results. The ultimate ideal location is when you can set up in

the sweet spot in the room/venue and the crowd is quiet and respectable.

Jeff - What are your top three favorite live recordings that you have heard?

Colin - Three favourites are tough, so I will go with Phish 12/31/1999 all night show from Big Cypress Florida (Neumann U89 source). 8 hours of amazing music.

Another would be the Grateful Dead from 5/7/77, one of their best ever, and the third would be another 1977 show – Pink Floyd from Oakland Coliseum 5/7/77. That is just today’s choices, it will likely be different tomorrow!

Jeff - Where can folks check out your recordings?

Colin - https://www.facebook.com/ MaritimeTapers. There is also a wonderful community for sharing live music called the Live Music Archive. Happy Taping :) 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists Donate Your OLD Aid & Receive Towards Your NEW Hearing Aid Purchase*

WELL RESTED by angie Cummings PREGNANCY & OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA Pregnancy can be one of the most exciting times in a woman’s life. You are seeing changes in your body, feeling the baby move and getting your home and family prepared for the new addition.

Some aspects of pregnancy are not so pleasant, such and heartburn, extra weight gain and sleep disturbances.

Getting comfortable during sleep can be a real problem when you are pregnant. Your growing body can be difficult to maneuver and onset of Restless Legs Syndrome can happen during pregnancy. Another common and dangerous condition is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a common breathing disorder marked by heavy 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.

Pregnant women at risk for developing OSA are those who are already overweight or obese, or who have gained excessive weight while pregnant.

The extra weight around your neck can cause your throat to close off during sleep. Those with gestational diabetes or high blood pressure are at higher risk as are those with allergies and nasal congestion commonly caused by higher estrogen levels of pregnancy.

OSA causes lowered oxygen levels and increased inflammatory processes during sleep. The associated risks of having untreated OSA during pregnancy include gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. These conditions are very dangerous for mum and baby.

Mums with sleep apnea are three times more likely to have a caesarean section, have smaller babies that are more likely to be admitted to the Neonatal ICU for breathing problems.

You most likely will not notice that you are stopping breathing at night,

Petitcodiac & District

Figure Skating Club now taking early registrations for the Winter Skating Program Canskate - Starting October 22nd Wednesdays 6:00pm - 7:00pm Learn to Skate - Starting October 22nd Wednesdays 6:15pm - 6:45pm Jumpstart and Jr/Int/Sr Skating Programs are also available, starting October 6th.

Space is limited.

Registration at the Petitcodiac Arena, September 18th & 19th from 6:30pm - 8:30pm

but your bed partner will notice increased snoring and even cessations in breathing at times. You may feel more tired during the day and even doze off at times. If you think you have sleep apnea, or having started snoring since being pregnant and especially if you have high blood pressure, discuss this with your doctor. You should be tested. This can be done in the sleep lab, or done in your home with a simple device.

Sleep apnea can be treated very effectively to keep you breathing through the night for you and your baby. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard of treatment. You wear a little mask over your nose and is blows air in while you sleep to keep you throat opened. There are also dental appliances and body positioning devices that may be helpful as well. Be sure to get this looked after as soon as you suspect there may be a problem. You want your pregnancy to be a joyous and healthy as it possibly can be for you and your baby.

It has been my pleasure writing about my passion, sleep, for my fellow New Brunswickers and I hope you have enjoyed it too, dear readers.

Sweet Dreams! 0046

Don’t leave your job at the office (NC) It’s good to keep work at work whenever possible, especially when you have kids. But one thing you don’t want to eliminate is sharing with your children what work actually means to you.

“My tendency when I get home is to ask my kids about their day,” says Cheryl Hotchkiss, who runs an advocacy campaign on child and maternal health for families overseas with World Vision Canada. “But increasingly, my kids ask about my day. Talking about it is a chance to make myself human and accessible to them – and to show them that complex problems are solvable.”

It doesn’t matter what kind of work you do. You may serve food in a cafeteria, deliver flyers, or handle people’s tax returns. There’s always a lot you can teach your kids by talking about your job.

MUSINGS by debbie hickey CARS AND CARS AND MORE CARS A few weeks ago the results of a UNB study on car usage in New Brunswick were released. The study showed that over 35% of New Brunswickers live in one community and commute to work in another community, compared to a national average of only 20%. And not surprisingly, most of us (since I am one of them) depend on private automobiles to do it. 90% versus only 78% nationally.

This has broad implications for our municipal and provincial budgets. It is an ongoing joke that prior to every provincial election you will see the potholes being filled throughout rural NB. Whether it is true or not, there is certainly a broad perception that the politicians believe roadwork translates into votes. With more cars and more roads we are bound to spend a disproportionate amount of our budget on infrastructure; money that

is not available for teachers or nursing homes or lower taxes or recreational facilities. Personally, I am not adverse to a little less maintenance in exchange for freeing up more dollars for other priorities, but I fear I am in the minority on that. The road that was a dirt road in my youth is now chip-sealed and kept well plowed as well sanded and salted in winter. Like with so many other things, our expectations have been raised and going backwards now would be difficult.

For many families, in order for both parents to work there is a need for not one, but two vehicles, as location and shifts are often too different to allow for the sharing of one car and if there are children who require daycare this further complicates an already complex scenario of timing and child care coverage. In fact, one of the conclusions from the report is that in NB, “it may be financially advantageous for a single‐parent with two children to stay home than to work. It takes $8.35/ hr in after‐tax income at 35hrs/week to

pay full‐time daycare ($7,600 average per child), and at least $5.74/hr to maintain a compact vehicle ($10,457 per year). These two costs‐of‐working alone amount to $14/hr, leaving one dollar an hour from the median aftertax wage of $15/hr to pay for food, clothing and shelter.”

Kudos to Saint John Transit for the Comex initiative of a few years ago unfortunately, there is no route from Nauwigewauk to Hampton. If you want to read the full report you can find it at: www. unb.ca/research/institutes/ urban/_resources/usci_ roadworriers.pdf.

What would you be willing to give up to redirect more monies to higher priorities than roads? 0002
