Well, fortunately, I don’t have to make a living predicting elections. While, I did have suspicions that the Conservatives were unlikely to obtain a majority, what happened in Atlantic Canada totally took me by surprise. Maybe even shock!! Now, it is true that I don’t get out and around a lot talking to people. But my conversations out in the woods with the Doe’s (Jane and friends) still didn’t clue me in. The Does, however, had some interesting views. They appear to support a political system somewhere between anarchy and communism. The only recognized political statement that I picked up in our conversation was from Harry S. Truman, “The Buck stops here”. Jane then paused and added, “but mostly during rutting season”. I was puzzled for just one moment and then realized that Jane had kind of a nasty grin on her face. One of the things that I also found out through many elections now, is that there is virtually no party that steadily holds to my views of financial management. There is no way, in my opinion, that we should be carrying the level of debt that we currently do, either federally or provincially. Hundreds of millions of dollars every year just to pay down our past excesses. Money that could go to bettering health care and education. I mean what did that many billions of dollars get spent on?? Apparently 24 Sussex Drive needs 10 million dollars in work or is in danger of falling down!!
OK Mikie, just calm down… breathe... in out, in out. One of the key changes that I am looking forward to is seeing proportional representation become a reality for future elections. While, only a promise at this time, it is indeed unfair that a party that only garners 40% of the vote can rule the country as a supreme dictator. Based on virtually all recent elections, no one party is likely to obtain a clear majority of the vote and will therefore be forced to form a formal or informal coalition with one or more other parties. This will almost certainly lead to a government that is at least more representative of all Canadians. In addition, I believe that coalitions and tight electoral races will give individual elected members more influence and loosen the current death grip that party leaders have over their caucus. Oops... Jane just dropped by, she wants to form a new political party. The number one plank in her platform was to ban all hunting!! I suggested that I would support her in a coalition, if the plank also included a ban on eating apple trees, raspberry plants and other plants to be named at a future date. Jane promised to discuss the matter with her members and get back to me. Maybe, we can work out and find better solutions!! 0001 . Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

HOSPICE SUSSEX HARVEST DANCE A SUCCESS Hospice Sussex held its 13th Annual Harvest Dance & Silent Auction at the Royal Canadian Legion in Sussex on October 17. A good crowd enjoyed the evening dancing to the music of Southern Comfort (So-Co) from Saint John. Because of this successful event, Hospice Sussex is able to give support, comfort, and hope to families in Sussex and the surrounding area who are dealing with end-of-life issues and loss. Volunteers of Hospice Sussex are able to offer free services; such as, hospital and home visiting by trained volunteers, phone support, transportation to local medical appointments, bereavement support, and library services. Hospice is a non-profit community charity that receives no government funding. The services offered are only available because of the generous support of the people. The Board of Directors and Volunteers of Hospice Sussex would like to thank all those who supported this fundraiser and look forward to having everyone out for the
14th Annual Harvest Dance and Silent Auction in October 2016. The next fundraiser for Hospice Sussex will be the upcoming Angels Remembered program to be held during the month of December. 3752
NEUROENDOCRINE TUMOR (NET) AWARENESS DAY
This coming January will mark the 5th anniversary of my diagnosis of a very strange cancer - neuroendocrine. Although it will be five years since I first heard of this disease, I now suspect I have been living with it for as long as 20 years. Around the age of 40 I began to wonder whose body I was living in? It felt so strange. I should have wondered what was living in my body. The good news about this cancer is that it is often a slow growing one, the bad news is that it is too often misdiagnosed and by the time symptoms are occurring it usually has metastasized to the liver. This is my case and I will live with this cancer for the rest of my days. The neuroendocrine system occurs throughout the body and so this

cancer can begin in many places and have varying symptoms. Perhaps the most common symptom is abdominal cramping or changes in bowel habits. As this is common to many other ailments, and because this disease is relatively ‘rare’, doctors generally do not consider this as a possible cause. Because it is slow growing, it has not always recognized as a malignant disease. Where the tumour originates is called the "primary site" and treatment by surgical removal, if possible, is recommended. In my situation, my primary was located in the terminal ileum (midgut). Although this cancer is ‘rare’, one oncologist estimates there are 150 known cases in New Brunswick. But it is suspected that only 10% of those living with this disease have been diagnosed. And so it is important to make everyone aware of this type of cancer. That's why November 10th is NET Cancer Day worldwide.

Hostel translate. Through her broken English, I understood that he would take me to the Cemetery the next day. We met for breakfast (which he provided) at 8:00am and then we set off in his tiny car with one wheel at the front & two at the rear. It turned out to be a 3½ hour trip (he talked in Italian non-stop the whole time). Arriving at the Cemetery, we went a little farther on to the home of a man who knew how to find Reggie’s grave. But first he provided us with a big dinner. Some neighbours came and there were more handshakes,
The people in this town were so friendly. They would shake my hand & offer me free meals, etc. I had no idea why until the lady at the Hostel told me that it was the Canadians who had liberated this area during WWII. It made me feel proud to be a Canadian. I got out my information on Reggie & asked if she knew where the Cemetery was. She sent me to a little Café next door to talk to ‘Alphonse’ who would know. Alphonse was so excited to help me; he kept slapping me on the back & shaking my hand. I could not understand one word he was saying, so I had the lady from the
etc.
At the Cemetery, I was immediately struck by how beautiful and peaceful it was and by a profound sadness for all those young Canadians buried there. I was 25 years old as I stood at the grave of Reggie who died at 27. I started thinking of how similar our childhoods were. Our homes were 200 feet apart. Both my father & his mother were McCavours. I had two brothers and one sister; he had two brothers and two sisters. We both went to the one-room schoolhouse just a 3-minute walk from our homes. We played in

PoiNt oF ViEw BARBIE DOLL FASHIONS Is it just me or have today's fashion trends gone the way of the Barbie? Really, folks! How many of us are actually naturally blessed with perky boobs, tiny waists, firm butts and no hips – all at the same time? Nobody but Barbie, I'm pretty sure. And let me just say that you have to have all of the above aforementioned attributes to wear some of the clothing and footwear that are considered “in” these days. This vertically challenged woman isn't afraid to admit that, when it comes to spike heels, clingy fashion tops and “skinny” jeans, this girl isn't buying. Okay, so maybe I caved on the skinny jeans! Maybe it's the trauma I suffered at the hands of 80's fashions – acid wash jeans, leg warmers, parachute pants and neon – but I just can't bring myself to wear this stuff. I'm not a prude, but these teeny tiny clothes aren't made for the average person.
Despite what the trends suggest, the average person isn't 5'9” tall nor tips the scales at a mere 105 pounds. 'magine! If you are one of the lucky ones, I congratulate you and envy you. If you're not, like me, what can I say? There's no point in crying over spilled milk. I should point out that if you're tall and model thin, heels, crop tops and jeggings can look great. If you're not, they do nothing more than accentuate that muffin top and those womanly hips. Unfortunately, there are some well meaning people out there who will sacrifice their dignity in the name of fashion. So, for those of you who let their fat rolls hang out over those low rise jeans and under the tight crop tops, I beg you to stop. Just don't do it, people. It's far better to wear clothes that actually fit you than to wear something two sizes too small thinking it's going to make you look smaller than you actually are – it doesn't! As for those 6” spike heels, I have this
advice. I would love to gain a few inches as much as the next short person. But, if you can't walk on them – don't! And, I can't resist this one last fashion faux pas. Big people (or any people, really) and leggings don't go together. I wouldn't lie to you. I've decided that as close as I'm going to get to “in” these days are my boot cut jeans, bulky sweater and two inch heeled loafers. It may not be high fashion but, boy, is it comfortable. I think I'll leave the “in” stuff for the Barbies of the world, and wait until acid wash jeans come back in style. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Later, I hope! 0032

ASK tHE CHEF BOIL IT, MASH IT, PUT IT IN SOUP Colin Sifton here again with another answer to your questions. With Halloween just passing, I was thinking about squash and the different varieties of squash. Squash was first introduced to the rest of the world when explorers brought them back from the new world. Other varieties
of squash had been found in parts of Africa but not the kind we think of today. These squash were turned into bowls and utensils and not very good for eating. Not until the sweet squash from the new world was introduced, was squash found on many European tables. The most common squash used today in these parts is the buttercup squash.

this variety because of its almost fibreless texture and mild honey flavour. It can be baked, boiled and mashed. Adds great flavour and colour to soups. Acorn squash is named after its shape. It looks like a large acorn but it is hardy and firm and will survive the winter in your cellar. It has a dark green shell but a yellow flesh. Great for baking or roasting but doesn’t have a lot of flavour for soup. Buttercup squash is named for its butterscotch colour and sweet nutty flesh. It is long with a bulb at the bottom which holds the seeds. This gives you a lot more flesh than seeds, unlike most squash. This is one of my favourites to cook with because of the flavour and texture you can apply it to risotto, pasta, stews and soups. Delicata is not as common but is also referred to sweet potato squash. It looks like a large fat cucumber, usually a foot long and has the flavour of sweet potato. Great for thickening soups or remove the seeds, stuff it with whatever you want and bake. Serve right out of its shell. Spaghetti squash is known for its stringy flesh, but when cooked, will separates into a mild tasting spaghetti-like strands. Now since it has such a mild flavour, I like to add tomato sauce and treat it like it is spaghetti. This creates a great gluten free meal which is full of vitamins and no flour. Sometimes when I am having pork, I will sauté the spaghetti squash in maple syrup, salt and peppers. A great compliment to your meal. Lastly we have the pumpkin. Most of us think of the pumpkin as the thing we make jack-o-lanterns out of but in fact the pumpkin is the best squash for cooking. The mistake most people make is bigger is better, but not in this case. The smaller the better. Large pumpkins tend to be watery and flavourless but the small ones are sweet with a great squash flavour. Great for almost anything from baking to pasta to roasted. Pumpkins are by far the best squash on the market. 0040

wEll REStEd by angie cummings JUST THE LATEST HEALTH FAD??? Sleep Apnea is everywhere these days.” “It seems like everyone has it.” “Is this something new? “Is this just the ‘latest health fad?” I hear these or similar questions in my practice and at many of the presentations that I do. They are great questions. Sleep Apnea is receiving more attention than before. Is it a new phenomenon, or a serious medical condition that was not previously recognized? Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a very common sleep disorder. It is generally marked by heavy snoring, pauses in breathing, loud gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other common factors in OSA are morning headaches, a large neck circumference, being overweight and high blood pressure. The treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea include weight loss, Mandibular Advancement Devices (Dental Appliance), and CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.) Sleep Apnea has widely been described as affecting 3-5% of the population with
10 men having sleep apnea to every one woman. We now know that that it is much closer to 20% of the population and the ratio of men to women is much smaller at three men being affected to every two women. One reason that sleep apnea is on the rise is because of our growing waistlines. Being overweight causes fatty deposits in the neck and throat that block breathing at night. Not only does Sleep Apnea interfere with the hormone that affects hunger, people with sleep apnea who are tired and sleepy all the time may have lower metabolisms. This can also contribute to further weight gain. Getting treatment for sleep apnea can make you feel better, with more energy for exercise and other activities. Another reason for the increase in diagnosis of Sleep Apnea is due to the increasing age of baby boomers. This portion of the population is getting older. As people get older, their tissues get floppier and so their throats are more
BEST
likely to close off with muscle relaxation when they are sleeping. Cardiologists and Family Doctors are relying on newer research that shows an association between sleep apnea and serious medical conditions. There are many physiological responses during sleep apnea episodes that include the release of stress hormones. These can cause a widespread inflammatory response throughout the body and increase the chances of developing high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems, heart attacks and even strokes. It can also increase the risk for developing diabetes Treating Sleep Apnea can significantly decreases your risk for these problems. 0034

Q. Is there anything I can do to prepare for building (rebuilding) credit? A. Before attempting to obtain and build credit you
should make sure your financial house is in order. This involves maintaining both a positive life style and establishing positive banking habits. To create a positive lifestyle you should first make sure you are living within your means. This means that you are not using credit to meet your living expenses. Make it a priority to pay your everyday living expenses on time and in full. Finally you should always be conscious of money coming into your house and where it must go. In other words, you need to create a budget based on your family income and then stick to it. Remember to budget for and set aside money for expenses that occur on an irregular basis like insurance, back to school items and Christmas. Adopting and maintaining a positive banking style involves keeping a positive balance in your bank account. Avoid using an overdraft and having NSF cheques. An easy way to do this is to open a savings account in the same bank as your working account and automatically transfer into this account on a regular basis. Even a little amount saved on a regular basis can add up over time and provide you some security As noted in previous articles, obtaining and correcting errors in your credit report is also key to improving your future credit standing. We are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your options and help you get a Fresh Start! Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty.

muSiNGS FREEDOM What does freedom mean to you? The Oxford online dictionary defines it as “The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants”. That doesn’t mean I am free to punch you in the nose if you annoy me; that would be anarchy not freedom. But it does mean if I want to dress like a hippy at age 61 I am free to do so. Or if Mikie decides to go to the bank in his scruffy woods clothes he is free to do so (I will just wait in the car). Yes, there must be some rules as to what is considered acceptable, but we need to be aware that these are merely reinforcing our cultural norms and are not going to be the same from country to country. Where am I going with this? Niquabs. I confess to not knowing a great deal about niqabs, burkas and hijabs, nor of the Muslim religion and cultural practices. But I am not so arrogant as to assume that it is my way or the highway when it comes to personal choice in attire. The
huge uproar over the niqab issue during the recent federal election was distasteful to me for two reasons. Unsettling enough was the government of the day wanting to ban the wearing of the niqab for citizenship ceremonies (remembering that the face has already been revealed to an official for identity purposes prior to the ceremony). But much more disturbing is the huge support the position seems to have from “ordinary Canadians”. According to the Canadian Press website: “The Privy Council Office poll was conducted . . . the week after the Conservatives filed their appeal of the Federal Court decision. . . participants in the survey were asked "do you support or oppose a requirement that people show their face during Canadian citizenship ceremonies?" Eighty-two per cent of those surveyed supported the requirement”. Consider this. If my family were to move to some tropical isle where the
cultural norm is for all women to go bare-breasted, should I be required to do so or should I be free to choose? I have no doubt that should my family remain in this island culture, the generations born there would adopt the local customs, but what of those who grew up in a different culture? Canada has a history of defending minority rights. A history that includes two world wars. On the eve of Remembrance Day, is this the kind of Canada our soldiers fought and died for? 0002
