The Tides

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

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

November 11th Remembrance is the cornerstone of The Royal Canadian Legion's work in Canada and the Poppy Campaign is the Foundation of the Legion’s Remembrance Program. We provide Canadians with the opportunity to Remember by providing them the opportunity to wear a Poppy and to participate at the Remembrance Day Service. The Legion's Remembrance activity goes far beyond the two weeks leading up to November 11 each year. Canadians are generous when they see our poppy volunteers and the collection boxes in stores. Poppies are not for sale; the Legion makes poppies available to the citizens of Canada who can donate to the Poppy Fund. Money donated during the Annual Poppy – Remembrance Campaign is placed in Public Trust Funds. Some of the many ways this money is used is to improve life for people in our communities include: Providing assistance to needy ex-service members and their families; Purchasing medical equipment and appliances for community health facilities; Paying for medical research and training; Building affordable housing for veterans and senior citizens; Paying for bursaries for needy students; Providing support services to senior citizens. Let us all wear a Poppy and stop and reflect in Remembrance on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The Royal Canadian Legion Lancaster Branch #69 will be holding its Remembrance Day Service on November 11th at 10:45am at the Lancaster Cenotaph located between Barnhill and Saint Rose Schools on Manawagonish Road Saint John West. There will also be a Service at Cedar

AROUND & ABOUT CARLETON CHRISTMAS AND FAIRVILLE FESTIVITIES I always think it is a shame to have to start thinking about Christmas before Remembrance Day is past but the point is, if you don’t certain things cannot come off successfully as the 25th approaches and people get so busy! That’s the case, for sure, for a night I have planned for the West Branch Library to help them mark their 50th year in the Lancaster Mall. I have been doing programs for them off and on for all of those 5o years, and wanted to do something special to mark the occasion. Thus, this program, Carleton Christmas and Fairville Festivities. Now, I have lots of material to draw on - a Lumberman’s banquet in the 1880’s, the first Christmas Tree lights in the early 1900’s in Carleton, and the time Santa nearly perished when he caught on fire in Fairville as examples. However, it is my wish and hope that many who read this will have some

stories or memories of their own to share. Does someone remember the first Christmas Kmart was open? Has anyone got memories of decorating at Centracare? How about Christmas celebrations at Simms? We’ve got a nice new Restaurant at Reversing Falls, but does anyone remember the old Trading Post, and the dances at Christmas that were held there? How about how the Fairville Fountain or the Star Restaurant were decorated? Does anyone have memories of shopping at Emerson’s, or Fairville Hardware? How about Cantatas at local churches? Caroling at the DVA? Did Moosehead do anything special at Christmas? How about the railroad, was any effort made to decorate the Fairville Station? Well, you get the gist, I don’t have any of these stories but I know they might be out there and I’d love to hear them. Even if you can’t come the night of Wednesday,

December 13 at 7:00pm if you share your story with me, I’ll have someone read it. I do hope many will set this time aside and help us celebrate the library’s 50th year, and as well, keep Christmas stories of the area alive. Send me emails to gosswalk@nbnet. nb.ca or call me at 672-8601. 0004

LIVE WELL CHANGE FOR SUCCESS When it comes to changing, people are often heard saying things like: “Leopards can’t change their spots” or “he/she will never change” or “look where they come from; he/she is just like the rest of that family!” What is so sad about these and similar sayings is that they deny individuals’ abilities to persevere, to grow, to overcome large obstacles and even thrive. We are not like anyone else… we are our own person, and we all have talents and abilities. What we do with them is up to us, but it’s sad to think of the many people who go to their graves every year with their potential still locked inside. Change can be more difficult for some than others—deprived upbringing, poor environments, past mistakes, lack of encouragement and support. However, this does not mean that making positive changes is impossible - Oprah Winfrey’s scarred, painful childhood; Bill Gates and Walt Disney’s failed businesses, Albert Einstein who never spoke for the

first three years of life and was thought by his teachers to be lazy and not likely to amount to much, and many others. Positive change requires the four A’s— Awareness, Acceptances, Action and Attitude. Even before these, a decision to change must be made, one that is not just lip service, but one that includes behaviors that will bring us closer to our goals. It’s not enough to say: “I want to be a successful entrepreneur” while we keep doing old, self-defeating behaviors. Behavior needs to match words, or wheels on the words, so to speak. After a decision is made, we need to be aware of what behaviors/attitudes are no longer working for us. We are then ready to move into accepting responsibility for the change by developing a plan that is in keeping with our goal; sometimes, we need more than one plan and we need to prepare for setbacks since life has a habit of not following our scripts! With a plan, we are now ready to start the action

steps, which may need to be revised from time-to-time as the unexpected pops up. How we deal with and overcome setbacks is really a matter of attitude. Attitude is everything when it comes to handling adversity. There may be a tendency to revert to the old “life is not fair…everyone was right, I am a failure” or, after a period of licking our wounds, we can review what worked, what didn’t work, what needs to be changed and use that information to inform the new plan. Achieving any goal, first requires a decision, then the right attitude, and determination to keep trying and learning. It can be done! 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Director

WELL RESTED YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AND SLEEP APNEA Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a very common sleep disorder. It is marked by snoring, pauses in breathing, gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other factors in OSA include morning headaches, a large neck, being overweight and high blood pressure. There are strong associations between untreated Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease. Those with untreated OSA are at greater risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and early death due cardiovascular problems. But people experiencing sleep apnea are not just affected by its physical effects. They may also experience mental health problems. People with sleep apnea are much more likely to experience depression than people in the general population. Having poor sleep quality can affect your daytime mood and having a serious health condition itself is enough to cause some to feel depressed. Sleep apnea can interfere with mental

health because of the reduced oxygen supply to the brain and frequent arousals from sleep to trigger breathing again. This can alter brain function and increase a person’s chances of developing depression. Increased daytime anxiety and increasing anxiety before bed can affect those with sleep apnea. Not getting enough quality rest makes it very difficult to deal with routine daily task and cause anxiety. People with untreated sleep apnea also tend to feel anxious before bed as they know that they would like to have a restful sleep but will most like spend the night tossing and turning and waking frequently. People with sleep apnea often get treated because of their spouse’s complaints about snoring. Even the most supportive spouse can get fed up by being awoken night after night with loud snoring and tossing and turning. This can cause sleeping in separate rooms, resentment and decreased opportunity for intimacy. Dreams are an opportunity to process emotions and events of the day freeing up your brain to deal with tomorrow.

People with sleep apnea wake frequently, they are constantly being disturbed out of their dream sleep, disrupting this essential cycle of dreaming. When someone does not get the proper amount of undisturbed dream sleep they experience anxiety to difficulty with memory. Concentration and memory problems are one of the most significant repercussions of sleep apnea. Exhaustion during the day causes trouble focusing on important tasks like work, school, and driving. You may frequently feel agitated or quicktempered further causing relationship problems and activities of daily living. 0038 Edited for space, see full article ossekeag.ca

CREATING YOUR KITCHEN LET IT ALL SINK IN Have you shopped for a sink lately? Did you feel like you needed a plumbing degree? Top mount, under mount, stainless, granite, one bowl, one and ¾ bowl. What does your kitchen need? Let’s break it down. For starters Pop Quiz - Part of the kitchen that gets the most use, over 80 percent? - your sink. Without a sink, could you literally do anything in the kitchen? The answer is no. People have had their stainless sinks for 20+ years and when it is time to replace, it is easy to assume any stainless would do but they don’t make them like they used to. Stainless Sinks – There are different gauges of stainless to be aware of. Cheaper entry level sinks will be thinner and possibly easier to damage - How does this affect you? When you drop a bowl into the sink do you want a loud “tin sounding” bang. Ask the questions, know the gauge - 18 is excellent

but feel free to flick it in the store. Granite sinks are the fastest growing sink choice in North America. Seven different colours, lots of configurations and options. It’s a sleek look that instantly updates any kitchen. Scratch, stain and bacteria resistant, it is virtually maintenance free. It keeps the dish water hotter, longer. People love these sinks. Everyone loves the cleaning factor and the smooth look of an under mount sink but unless you have a stone countertop it isn’t a recommended option. Countertops made of laminate materials are not friendly with water therefore having an exposed edge that close to the faucet would damage your countertops. Many clients are happy with their kitchen but just want to upgrade to quartz counters and a new sink. Yes this can be done. In all materials there are a variety of configurations now. It is not just the two equal bowl option, although that is

still popular. Unsure what you prefer? Ask your dishwasher? Does he or she like to wash dishes by hand? Then the separation might be the best. If you mainly use the dishwasher then maybe a large one bowl would work better for you. Pay attention to dimensions. It is not crazy to measure your dishes before you head out shopping. Better safe than washing that large pot in the tub. 0048

Lest We Forget WHAT SHOULD WE REMEMBER AND WHY?

It is often said, “It’s a free country, I can do as I please”; and you can as long as it is within the law. Our freedom exists, and is maintained, by the great sacrifice of many during wars and conflicts through the past century to this day. Nations/societies led by dictatorial despots/ religious fanatics seem to feel compelled to conquer others with force; have them live, work, play and pray within their societal rules and culture. Had the “wrong side” achieved their expansion aims in WWI and WWII, they would have conquered all of Europe. Eventually, with more riches, population and hence greater military forces and equipment, they would have attempted to bring much of

lived and fought through most miserable conditions that we could not comprehend. The trenches were cramped, rat and bug infested and extremely muddy. Hunger for good food was constant, as was the fear of death. The war ships and merchant ships endured storms with waves as high as a two-story house. Ice from the spray built up on the top part of the ship. Water, which seeped in kept everything damp and cold. The fear of the next attack was constant. Flyers left the ground fully aware that their chances of not coming back were great. Many ended up as prisoners enduring untold misery and hunger. Others returned physically and mentally impaired.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. by John McCrae, May 1915

Veterans, we will never forget your fight for our freedom. Cedar Hill - Greenwood Cemetery 672-4309
