On Our Cover The Colours of Fall
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

LIVE WELL EMPATHY AND THANKSGIVING Across the country this month, Canadians will sit down to Thanksgiving dinner with their families, hold hands, bow their heads and contemplate the blessings over the past year. As we edge into winter, we inevitably hold each other closer and begin reflecting on the ways our loved ones have supported us throughout the warmer months.
This spirit of reflective empathy, of turning to our friends and neighbors and understanding their struggles and successes, is at the root of the Thanksgiving season. It is also a root system that does not end in our own backyard; indeed, it extends through the entire population of this great green earth.

The Tides
Our neighbors to the south celebrate Columbus Day on the same weekend that we come together for Thanksgiving, but since 1977, a new, more empathetic holiday tradition has emerged in the United States - Indigenous Peoples’ Day, on the second Monday in October, in an effort to acknowledge and mourn the injustices that those with European ancestry have historically brought to the doorstep of our continent’s native occupants. Czech-French writer Milan Kundera, who spoke knowingly and unsparingly of empathy in sharp and true ways, said that “there is nothing heavier than compassion… not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.” In this month of giving thanks for a bountiful harvest and the joys and fading echoes of summer, it is essential that we also turn our thoughts to the downtrodden: those that have been lied to, pushed out, trampled over, beaten down, forgotten. How can we measure the depths of our own gratitude if we do not think of our neighbors? Empathy can be overwhelming, but without it we cannot fully comprehend what we are thankful for and how we can possibly transmute that gratitude into meaningful action. Absorbing and reflecting upon the suffering of others is the first step toward healing. So it should be with our Thanksgiving celebrations in kitchens and dining rooms across this vast country. Suffering becomes hope, anger becomes action and recognition of historical injustice becomes a path forward. We hope that there is thanks to give in each one of your lives, but we’re certain that when you bow your head, you won’t be thinking only of yourself. 0008 Edited for space, see full article at: osskeag.ca.

AROUND & ABOUT BRITISH DRIVEWAYS Have you ever driven up a British Driveway? I have, in fact I did it many times before my first visit to Britain in 1986. You may have too and not even realized it. Perhaps you have never been to Britain, so you might dismiss the question. Well, don’t be too hasty; as if you lived on the West Side of Saint John or visited anyone there in the fifties, you may well have driven on a British driveway. I was reminded of my many trips over British driveways a few days ago when I took a cycling trip to lower west where I grew up. I do this from time to time, and it always makes me feel like I am a teenager again, not in my 7th decade. This last time, though, was even more nostalgic, for while biking along a dirt roadway from the Carleton Community Centre to Limey Land, when I came to the edge of the Market Place ball field, there was a pile of flint rock that was used for almost every
driveway in Saint John west when I was a boy. I had no idea then where it came from and why there so much of it around, but I have subsequently been told about it origin, and why it was so popular in Saint John west. The story is that British ships came into Saint John Harbour during the war years to take provisions overseas. They didn’t have much to bring back to Canada, so the ships would be loaded with flint rock off the beaches of England. This would weight them down as they passed over the stormy seas of the North Atlantic. When they arrived in Saint John, the rocks had to be removed so cargo could be loaded. Most everyone in Saint John west had someone working on the port, and these surplus rocks were there for the taking, and they were taken, and they lined driveways from one side of Saint John West to the other. It was not until my trip to England
in 1986 when we were taken to the beach at the Cliffs of Dover that I realized where the stones used in driveways back home had come from. On another trip, when I cycled the south of England, I noted church after church was built with these same stones, which they called flint stones. 0004 Edited for space, see full article at ossekeag.ca

The Tides
Jason Israel, an infantry soldier with the Canadian Army grew up in Saint John. He is currently stationed at CFB Gagetown and has served for 15 years, including three tours in Afghanistan. He was one of 550 competitors from 17 nations competing at the Invictus Games in Toronto, September 23 - 30. The Invictus Games were established in 2014 by Prince Harry. It is the only international adaptive sporting event for wounded, ill and injured active duty and veteran service members. The Games use the power of adaptive sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for armed forces around the world.
The word "Invictus" is Latin for unconquered and is the title of a poem by William Ernest Henley. The Games derives its motto from the final two lines of the poem: "I AM the master of my fate, I AM the captain of my soul" and reflects the unconquerable spirit of the wounded warriors competing. Jason Israel competed in the 100m, 200m, 400m, 1500m and 4 x 100m mixed relay. Jason placed 6th in the 1500m final with a time of 4.50.45. Those cheering him on included his wife, Amanda and children Jakob and Grace. Congratulations, Jason. New Brunswick is very proud of you and the entire Team Canada. 4717

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
