The Battle of Vimy Ridge in northern France, April 9th to April 12th, 1917, is considered to be one of the defining events in the history of our nation. Where Allied troops had struggled and failed, the Canadians overcame great odds and eventually captured the Ridge at a cost of some 10,600 casualties. After the battle, Lieutenant Leslie Miller of Scarborough, Ontario serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, gathered up a handful of acorns from a partially buried English oak (Quercus robur) on the Ridge. He sent the acorns home to his family with instructions

to plant them. In 1919, when Lieutenant Miller returned, he was given a 25-acre section of his father’s Scarborough farm and transplanted the oaks along the boarders of his woodlot. He named his farm The Vimy Oaks. Today, a number of these majestic oaks are thriving in the same but smaller woodlot under the close care of the Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church that purchased the farm property in 2002. In January 2014, a group of volunteers, the Vimy Oaks Legacy Corporation, decided to repatriate offspring of these descendant oaks back to Vimy Ridge, whose oak trees had all been destroyed in the First World War. These Vimy Oak saplings will be planted in the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park, adjacent to the Canadian National Vimy Memorial site, as part of centennial commemorations in France in 2017 and 2018. The non-profit Vimy Oaks Legacy Corporation has undertaken to offer Vimy Oak saplings grown in Canada for sale to qualifying organizations and individuals to be planted at commemorative sites throughout Canada to honour the soldiers who fought at Vimy Ridge and other battles during the First World War.

SHOPPING AT THE COUNTRY STORE A sweet treat or a cold drink can really break up the day and give you something to look forward to. At the Kingsway LifeCare Alliance, we like to find our resident's simple pleasures and try to make sure that these simple pleasures are readily available. Many of these special yet simple items are sold on our new Country Store Cart and include, chips, chocolate bars, soda etc. The money for the store
was raised during one of Kingsway Care Centre family fun days. In consultation with our residents it was decided that they would prefer to have a mobile store cart over a dedicated storefront in the home. Our store is now up and running. Residents, staff and volunteers have all taken part in operating the store and it has been a great success so far. 4887

FOOD FOR THOUGHT SMOOTHIE 101 Smoothies can be a nutritious and convenient snack or even a meal! They’re great to enjoy as temperatures warm up or as a quick breakfast on the run. Just a few basic ingredients blended together will make a delicious smoothie. To build a better smoothie, start with fresh or frozen fruit. Add at least one of your favorites, such as berries, peaches or mangoes. Next, choose a liquid such as milk, fortified plantbeverages (soy, almond or coconut), or water. Experiment with different types of liquid to see which is your favorite. Add protein to your smoothie with a scoop of Greek yogurt, peanut butter or nut butter. Add even more nutrition by adding a green leafy vegetable such as baby kale or spinach. Or try a scoop of ground flax, chia or hemp seeds for a boost in fibre. For a tropical spin, try adding ¼ of an avocado to make your smoothie extra creamy. Blend until smooth and enjoy! Sometimes we blend our ingredients
together and we may not get the exact taste or consistency we are looking for. Some simple changes can help you get the perfect flavour and texture. If your smoothie is too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, unsweetened applesauce, ice or water. If your smoothie has a bitter taste add a ripe banana, honey or a splash of vanilla. Is your smoothie too thick to drink? Add some more water, milk or fortified plant based beverage. Is your smoothie too thin? Try adding, ice, yogurt, unsweetened apple sauce, ground flax or chia seeds, peanut butter or other nut butter, silken tofu, fresh or frozen berries, banana, or pineapple chunks. If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy your smoothie, try turning it into a smoothie bowl and eat it with a spoon! Pour your favourite smoothie into a bowl instead of a glass and add some tasty toppings. Some suggestions are nuts and seeds, hemp hearts or chia
seeds, shredded coconut or a sprinkle of granola. Add even more colour by adding berries or banana and kiwi slices. Get creative with the design of your toppings and you have a breakfast that looks as good as it tastes! Hungry for more?

It happens to everyone. The snow starts to melt and you find yourself roaming around a home décor store looking at all the ways you can uplift
your tired home. Not many have a magazine worthy home but does your space reflect who you are and how you feel? A true place of beauty
is one where the owner is open to filling the home with elements of their infatuation over time. The trick is to be confident in showcasing what you know you love. For those people who love everything, where do you start? People pick bits of inspiration from different sources. Most people get overwhelmed by visiting all the stores in their city or spending three (or more) hours wandering around at a home show; one solution is to turn to the online fountain of information in the comfort of your own home. Pinterest.com will turn you from a Plain Jane to a Creative Queen. Type your problem in the search bar and thousands of ideas and solutions pop up. Houzz. com is another site specifically for room design used by people

Once you have some ideas, create a plan and a budget for your new room. If Trading Spaces taught us anything, it is that you don’t need a huge budget for a big impact. Some

can be re-purposed or considered trendy after a fresh coat of paint or new fabric. Perhaps you decided on classic Navy as the new accent color in your living room. Gather up all books with a blue tone cover and stack them on your coffee table. Top off with a small clear vase and a pink blooming flower. Instant Spring! Once you have gone through anything in the house that can be used think DIY. Need new artwork going up the staircase? Go online and search free printables in your theme and colors. Print on photo paper or on a matte paper, frame and hang. People will ask where you got them and you will be happy to tell them they were free… and easy to change for each season and holiday. Now you are ready to create a detailed list of what to buy in stores. Find a few pieces to
provide a focal point and pull the look together. Textiles such as area rugs, pillows and fabrics are great focal points that can add patterns without throwing the whole design off. Be daring and try new styles and have fun. Paint is always last! Bring your patterns and pictures into a paint store and let them help choose the colour and texture or contact a decorator to come to your home; well worth the cost of a gallon of paint. Add your own personality and create a Spring ready home.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES NOTES FROM IMPERIAL April always makes me think of April Fool’s Day. The day that you have free rein to fool your friends, family and workmates with some heartstopping practical joke or nutty hoax. I do not usually take part but have had all of the items on my desk glued down and can attest to the hilarity. It’s a bit of an odd holiday, so of course I googled it to find out it’s origins (we all do this now right?). This is where I think the Day itself may be getting its own back because I was able to find no less than 15 origin options and countless web pages devoted to the mystery. And the further I dug the more I began to feel a fool myself. Origin search abandoned. I include the previous digression because once I had been drawn into the world-wide web and it’s oh-so-many blind alleys I couldn’t seem to resist more research. Then, of course that I remembered that we are actually here to talk about Imperial Theatre and this
was getting me nowhere. But was it? Aha! I was willing to bet that all of our April shows had some kooky holiday attached and I could find a way to talk theatre AND find my way out of the darkness towards the light. Here we go… Ivan Coyote: Tomboy Survival Guide hits Imperial on Friday, April 6. Ivan and their band deliver fun, thoughtful songs and stories about gender politics, being the odd one out and finding your own way. *mature content. Also April 6th? Walk to Work Day. Thursday, April 12 brings us to our popular Mystery Concert. You come, pay $20 and if you don’t like the show within the first 20 minutes, we refund your $20 and you can be proud that you took a chance on something new. We, of course think you’ll love the show. Also April 12th? Grilled Cheese Day (Woot!). The very next day, Friday, April 13 we welcome our old pals from Classic Albums Live and this time they are
playing Supertramp’s classic, Breakfast in America. Hurry. Tickets go fast. Also April 13th? International Plant Appreciation Day / Thank goodness plants have their own day. I was concerned. Symphony New Brunswick presents A Baroque Banquet on Wednesday, April 18 with guest conductor Tania Miller. Also April 18th? International Juggler’s Day. We bring the month home on Sunday, April 22 at 2:00pm with a wonderful kids show called Manxmouse. The show is based on the book Manxmouse, The Mouse Who Knew No Fear. Ages 10 & under. But that is not all that happens on April 22. It is the gloriously-conceived-of Jelly Bean Day. So Manxmouse and Jelly Beans it is! I heart you April. B. xo 0030

LEGAL EAGLE KNOW YOUR RIGHTS The Constitution is the foundational law of Canada. This means that the Constitution overrides any laws, programs or government actions inconsistent with it. Although the Constitution is comprised of several documents and doctrines, none are better known than the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Charter, as it is commonly referred to, sets out your basic rights as a Canadian as they relate to governments in Canada. One of the more well-known aspects of the Charter is that it governs your relationship with law enforcement. Anyone who has even seen a crimedriven Hollywood movie where someone is arrested has no doubt heard the phrase, you have a right to remain silent. Often coinciding with the right to remain silent is the right to speak to a lawyer or counsel of your choosing. In the USA, these are called Miranda rights. However, these rights are also
entrenched in Canada by virtue of the Charter. If you are detained, exercising your right to speak to a lawyer can help educate you on your circumstances. Perhaps not surprisingly, when exercising your right to counsel, the legal advice you will often receive will be to exercise your right to silence. Another protected right under the Charter is the right to equal treatment before and under the law, and equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination. Equality rights, as they are often referred to, make it clear that, regardless of race, religion, national or ethnic origin, colour, sex, sexual orientation, age or physical or mental disability, every individual in Canada is to be considered equal. Consequently, governments must not discriminate on any of these grounds in its laws or programs. The purpose of equality rights is to protect those groups

who suffer social, political and legal disadvantage in society. Generally speaking, discrimination occurs where a person, due to a personal characteristic, suffers a disadvantage or is denied an opportunity available to other members of society. The Charter’s importance in Canada with respect to your rights as they relate to government cannot be understated. Knowing your rights ensures that you will be treated fairly under the Law. 0047

We are fortunate to have many such individuals in our communities: the Veterans of all ages who sacrificed more than any civilian can understand to ensure that we have the rights and freedoms we enjoy today; the First Responders, both professional and volunteer, who risk their own safety to ensure that of others; the doctors, nurses and other medical staff who take time from their own family to provide help and support to others. As our community remembers Vimy Ridge this year, as we look back at how far we as a society has come and look ahead to where we hope to be, we encourage everyone to celebrate our heroes, young and old, by performing little acts of kindness for family, friends, neighbors and community.

counseling, support systems and other ways to help the healing process.
long time volunteer firefighter and advocate for community outreach had the opportunity to talk with one our local unsung hero’s, Helen O’Donnell, member of the Victim Service Unit, a not for profit organization dedicated to helping people though times of crisis. Ms. O’Donnell explained that the VSU volunteers respond 24/7 during
times of crisis for members in our community. They are called by the RCMP when there is a sudden death and the deceased’s loved ones need someone to be with them before their support network can get to them. They make tea. They call funeral homes. They hold hands, Hug, Listen. They provide resources for grief
The VSU also responds to other traumatic events such as sexual assault, domestic violence, grand theft or robbery. There are so many networks out there that are readily available to help in these times; the VSU volunteers help bridge that gap. The volunteers who are dispatched are qualified in several different ways; they can be counselors, doctors, or pastors, offer spiritual help, or simply have life experiences, some common sense and the drive to help their community. In the Sussex area, the Victim Services Unit has been in service to its community since 1982 and eleven board members are available at a moment’s notice. The VSU allows the RCMP officers to complete their police work while the victim is taken care of with a warm personal touch.
