For as long as I can remember I have loved the written word. In fact, Mom told me that as young as a few months old I would sit with rapt attention, listening as she read to me. Some of my earliest memories include books, whether listening to a bedtime story before begging for just one more, or going to the library, feeling like I had entered my second home as I wandered through the stacks. Growing up, I was rarely without a book, carrying one wherever I went. Whether classics, like “Anne of Green Gables” and “Little Women”, or contemporary like “The Babysitters Club” series, I read constantly. As I got older, my teachers often encouraged me to branch out, try something different and broaden my mind, but for me books were an enjoyable escape, not something to be taken seriously. I was able to score top marks in English class by spouting back what the teacher wanted to hear, but I was already moving on to the next story, without fully digesting the previous. Although I read, and enjoyed “Wuthering Heights” and “Oliver Twist” I was much less interested in the analysis of the story than I was with the imagery created. Whether feeling chilled as the author described the isolated windswept Moors of the “Heights” to becoming hungry as Oliver begged for just a little more gruel I was fascinated by the way words could fit together on a page to create a picture so vivid I could not only see it in my mind’s eye, but feel it as well. I am always interested in finding a new world to explore and characters to love. I have explored secret gardens and wandered through forbidding manor homes, gotten
lost in the wilds of a concrete jungle and found justice in a southern Courtroom. Whether an elaborate Elizabethan Court filled with intrigue or modern hospital mired by politics, with the right words, either can be populated by fascinating, lovable and loathsome characters interacting to create a story so powerful it can transport the reader to another place. As an adult, my time for reading has been curtailed by other commitments and I have become very choosy about what I read. That is not to say that I have limited the style or content I will read so much as I want to know I am going to be “wowed” by the story in which I choose to invest my time. I want to be made to think about the characters and their message long after I have finished the last chapter. Oddly enough, some twenty years after my English teach first started telling me that simply reading for the sake of reading isn’t enough I now understand how much more can be found in a story if one takes the time to appreciate every nuance behind the words. I still love being transported to another time and place, but now I also lose myself in the characters-even those that are on first glance unlikeable, and find the journey even more enjoyable. 0001

ATLANTIC SHOREBIRD SURVEY Calling All Nature Lovers! Did you know that shorebirds are among the best-travelled creatures on earth, travelling thousands of kilometres between their breeding grounds in the
north and their wintering grounds in the south? Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) needs your help to better understand the amazing migratory birds that stopover along our shores on the East Coast. The Atlantic Canada Shorebird Survey (ACSS) is a volunteer-based survey that relies on the skills, dedication and longterm support of bird watchers throughout Atlantic Canada. Volunteer bird watchers regularly head out to more than 100 sites to gather important information to help biologists as they work to conserve species that are experiencing declining populations. This vital information helps biologists estimate the population size of a variety of species, monitor trends and track stopover locations. So if you’re a beach bum, a bird nerd or are someone who simply loves the great outdoors, help conserve our shorebirds and monitor their activity by joining others in the Atlantic Canada Shorebird Survey. Find a survey spot in your area that interests you. ACSS sites can be beaches, tidal flats, salt marshes, freshwater marshes, and sometimes even
fields and heathlands. Typically volunteers go out to their designated observation post just once every ten days to collect information about the birds they see there. Here is what you’ll need when surveying shorebirds: Binoculars, pen and pencil, clipboard or field book, ACSS data sheets (provided), site map (provided), spotting scope (optional), enthusiasm (required). For more information about how you can help the Canadian Wildlife Service conserve migratory birds in Atlantic Canada, please contact Julie Paquet at julie.paquet2@canada.ca or 506-3645037. 4653

UNFILTERED THREE COMMON WINE MYTHS DEBUNKED I have always believed that there is no such thing as a stupid question, especially when it comes to wine. There are, however, a few misconceptions that I have heard so many times, I feel it necessary to set the record straight. The first myth is that only cheap wines have screw caps. While this may have been slightly true 20 years ago, today this couldn’t be more wrong. Many very reputable winemakers have switched to screw caps as they are so much easier and cost effective to use. They eliminate the possibility of a wine becoming ‘corked’ which costs winemakers a lot of money as it occurs in approximately 5% of wines. I predict that 20 years from now corks will be obsolete. Myth #2 is that wine gets better with age. Again, a few decades back wine was made with the intention that it would be aged prior to being opened. Nowadays 95% of the wines available are ready to drink. Only about 5% would benefit
from extensive aging, and these wines tend to be very pricey. I have had many disappointed clients who have mentioned to me that they purchased a $20 bottle of wine that they have been saving for 18 years to drink at their child’s graduation. It breaks my heart to tell them that chances are that wine is now turned to vinegar. When in doubt ask a wine professional whether or not the wine in meant to be laid down. The next myth is a personal irk of mine. There are many myths surrounding the ‘wine headache’. Most people believe that it is either caused by the tannins in their wine or by sulfites. It is true that tannins may give you a headache when you drink a full bodied red when you are not accustomed to it, to these people I say; ‘try and try again’, but the most common misconception is surrounding sulfites. A large portion of the population believes that they are allergic to sulfites. According to the American Medical Association,

this is only true for about 0.4% of the population. Sulfites are a naturally occurring byproduct of fermentation. They are present in all alcoholic beverages. They are also present in much higher quantities in many foods. If you are allergic to sulfites, you are probably also allergic to most dried foods, and especially dried fruit. If you believe you are allergic consult with your doctor. That being said, eat, drink and be merry, and when in doubt ask a professional. 0042

SELF ESTEEM LET GO & MOVE ON Our lives are ever-changing. Just because something was right for us in the past, doesn't mean it still is. This could be a relationship, a job, a home, a habit, etc. At some point, we realize there are deliberate changes we must make to keep up with the changes around us and/or within us. Our lifestyle may no longer fit with the life we are living. The specific people and routines we've known forever, no longer align with our values. It's time for a change, it may even be time to let go. To let go of something is to release the pain and hurt of things you can not change. It can be difficult to let go but not impossible. When we refuse to let go of resentment, anger and frustration it consumes us. We most likely deserve to be angry for all 'they' did to us. However, holding on to bitterness and resentment does us more harm than the original incident. When we refuse to let go, we are the only one hurting. To let go does not mean you condone another's behavior or even forget. It simply means that you choose to release the negativity of your past. Use your past for you, not against you. You are who you are, partly because of your past. Own that! Let go of what hurt you but remember what it has taught you. Each one of us has numerous opportunities to learn lessons. When we learn one, we move on to the next. Every once in awhile, our learning process can be slow. That is okay, as long as we eventually learn

what has been taught. Remember, you did your best with the knowledge and understanding you had. As we learn better, we will do better. Moving on is the natural result of letting go. You must truly let go before you can move on. As a child, my mom would ask me to sweep the kitchen floor. I would do a beautiful job but instead of grabbing the dust pan, I would sweep the dirt under a rug by the door. One day as my mom went to open the door, it simply wouldn't.... hmm mph....turned out the dirt I swept under the rug had accumulated and hindered the door opening process. Much like sweeping that dirt under the rug, when we do not truly deal with our own 'dirt', it makes it difficult to open new doors to a better life. Letting go is the answer to almost everything. And moving on is the reward. 0027

TAI CHI A MOVING MEDITATION There is joy in the practice of Taoist Tai Chi. There is an awakening to the potential of the body to move in a natural and flowing way.There is relaxation in the meditative motion that results. This can lead to greater calmness and a reduction of anxiety. There is great pleasure in learning a new practice among others who share an interest in maintaining and improving health. It is remarkable that the roots of this ancient practice have found their way to us, and now, more and more, tai chi is being recommended as a way to foster wellness in people of all ages. Recently the Fung Loy Kok Institute of Taoism, a Canadian charitable organization, conducted a survey to gain feedback on the health benefits its participants were experiencing. Approximately 6000 people replied. Their most frequent responses indicated positive effects related to: aging, coordination, posture, energy, emotional wellbeing, circulation, muscular issues, and depression/ stress/anxiety issues. These benefits, across a large population could impact our health care system dramatically. Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi (TM) is available locally. It is a physical practice that is learned in a group setting. A social component is an integral part of its benefits, and many participants become fast friends over many years. All are welcomed warmly. Often tai chi is seen as something for seniors, but this is only partly true. Of course, seniors can benefit greatly from the physical, meditative and social aspects of this practice. However, younger people can also benefit by maintaining the good health they currently experience, thus preventing some of the degenerative conditions that can accompany aging. Beginner Classes will start in the week of September 11 - 15 in Rothesay, Saint John, and Hampton. Please see our classified ad in this issue. 4665
4:00pm. For a contribution of $25/person, $35/ couple guests will be treated to a choice of scrumptious desserts, fruit, cheese, wine, tea and coffee. A tax receipt will be issued for $10 of the contribution. We will also have our very popular Silent Auction and our annual Book Swap ( don't forget to bring a book or books). Swaziland now provides free primary education (Grades 1-7) but there is still a continuing need for help with High School fees and examination costs. It is exciting to think that with the help of so many people over the last 11 years and
the implementation of the program by AIDS Saint John and SIDA/AIDS many of the children we have sponsored in this small rural community of Nkamazi, Swaziland have attained their High School Diplomas. Several have gone on to higher education in the fields of medicine, education and public service. Please come out and have a great time whilst supporting this fundraiser on the afternoon of Sunday, September 10. For more information on the Dessert Party or the project please call Jane at 847-4010 or Juliet at 847-3053. Hope to see you there. 4464

DIRECTOR’S NOTES SEPTEMBER IS A FUN MONTH By fun I mean completely and utterly terrifying. You know way you feel just before the guests arrive for a party at your house? You’re excited to welcome them and you’re so happy they’re coming but you cannot stop those nagging, little doubts. Did you make enough dip? Will they like the new recipe you tried for the pecan & jalapeno cheese ball? Was it a bad idea to try a new recipe with pecans and jalapenos? Why are there jalapenos in almost everything lately? Is there enough wine/ice/beer/toilet paper/ cocktail napkins/side plates? Will the playlist you uploaded get them dancing? What if they start dancing? What if the dog decides to pee on someone like she did last time? Will Bob drink too much and start doing his magic tricks? Should I hide the neighbour’s rabbit? What if there's a freak storm and the power goes out? Ahhhhhh! We are just like you when you host that
party. Every time we open our doors we have those nagging doubts (ok, maybe not all of them). We pull together a season of shows with the hopes that you will be intrigued and excited and will take time out of your own busy schedule to buy your tickets and come to the theatre. We make sure to get names that you know (Joel Plaskett, Heather Rankin); big fancy shows (H.M.S. Pinafore, Passage to Bollywood); shows for the family (Manx Mouse, Dufflebag); funny shows (Sister’s Catechism, Girls Nite Out); serious drama (Empire of the Son, Call Mr. Robeson); and something brand new for you to try (Mystery, Ivan Coyote). And then we send out the information in our annual Season Brochure delivered to your door. We shout out the info online, in print and on the radio and we hope that you like what we have offered. It’s scary. It’s exciting. And it’s fun to see what you
like and how you react when you come to see us. We don’t always expect standing ovations and full houses. We know that a local dance company (Connections Dance Theatre) won’t set sales records but we do know that it is important to support original dance here at home and from across the country. And we know that you want to support them too. I’ve got plenty to do before we welcome you for Season 24. The first show is not until September 15 (Landline) and I’m already feeling a little queasy. Here is to successful parties at your place and a great Season 24 at Imperial Theatre! 0030

ASK MARY WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS? I’m a recent widow with three well educated children. I become overwhelmed with immense anxiety and panic when I don’t hear from them. Why do I feel like this? The question is more "why wouldn't you feel like that?" I would be more concerned if you wrote to me that you had no feelings and didn't care about anything. We need to feel and as widows those feeling can be extremely emotional, but it's better to be feeling than to be completely numb and dead inside. Ten years ago this month, my husband died in front of our daughter and I. She was in her early twenties full of life but afterwards she was fearful of losing me and was too close to me. After two years I knew I had to set her free so she could live on her own and have a normal life in her twenties. I sold the house and moved so she had to get her own place. I also had anxiety when I didn’t hear from her, but those were my fears and FT

what you’re up to. Hope this helps and also, one of the best things for your children, is for them to have a mother with her own passions to pursue, so take care of yourself first.

I didn't want them to become her fears. It's been seven years and she was married this summer to a lovely man. If I hadn't controlled my fears I would still have a daughter living at home, a daughter who stopped growing. A child who never becomes independent is a fear that all parents share. There is no sure way to keep our children safe, but if we do the best we can, they will grow up as mature, capable and caring people. Then we have done our job. Also, for me passing my fears on with some prayers helped lessen my anxiety. Sounds like you have done a great job, so worry (it's natural) but don't panic. It’s normal when we lose our spouse to lean on our grown children and thank goodness we have their support. But in time your broken heart will start to heal and you will start being busy enough that you won’t be waiting to hear from them – the roles may even be reversed and they will be wondering

OPENING OF SCHOOLS FOR 2017-2018 Welcome back to all students and families from Grand Manan to Sussex Corner for the new school year! All Kindergarten children will enter school through a staggered entry process on September 5 and 6, 2017 with half of the students attending each day. All Kindergarten children will attend together on September 7. Schools will communicate to families their scheduled time of entry. If you have not provided your child’s immunization record, please do so as soon as possible. All grades 1-5 students will begin classes on September 5. For all middle and high school students, there will be a ‘transition day’ with only grades 6 and 9 attending on September 5. Some exceptions to this are: Grades K-8 schools will not have a grade 6 transition day so all students will attend on September 5. Grades 6-12 schools will not have a grade 9 transition day, and in grades K-12 schools there will not be a grade 6 or 9 transition day. The transition day is intended for students who will be starting middle or high school in a different building. If you are unsure, please call your school the week before school begins or check the school website. Teachers and school administrators will be involved in meetings and professional learning activities the week of August 28, 2017. The complete 2017-18 school calendar can be found on our website www.asd-s.nbed.nb.ca.
TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION Students should be at their bus stop at least five minutes before the scheduled time. It is normal for bus schedules and stops to be adjusted during the first few days of operation. Your patience in this regard is appreciated. The district provided busing information to Kindergarten students in a letter over the summer. If you did not get your information, please refer to the district website for busing, call your school or call Transportation at 658-5603. Busing information can be obtained on the Anglophone South website: www.asd-s.nbed.nb.ca located under “Busing”. If busing is not available via the website, please contact your school of residence after August 30 and someone will be able to assist you. This year Anglophone South is happy to provide a new service for parents to subscribe to their children’s busing information. The service also provides the ability to subscribe to notifications specific to children, schools and bus runs. The direct link to this service is https://bp.nbed.nb.ca/asds Saint John Education Centre (High Schools): Students that are eligible to travel on Saint John Transit will have their Student Bus Passes available on the first day of class.

DOLLARS & SENSE IS THAT FINANCIAL ADVICE COSTING YOU? “How are you paid?” can be one of the most uncomfortable questions to ask another person, but it’s important, especially when it comes to your financial advice. There has been a lot in the news about financial institutions ensuring that their disclosure regarding their investment fees become clearer and that clients are not being overcharged for their services. It is not just investments where you can potentially be charged fees, there can be fees on referrals to other services, brokerage fees, closing fees, hidden fees and consultant fees. Even non-profits charge fees for their services, it’s okay to ask. What you need is to know how do you determine what is reasonable? And how do you determine if the fee is appropriate? So many times, we have helped consumers that are paying fees for services they could have accessed at a lower cost, or directly from where
they were referred. It is fair to ask these questions too. If they are not charging a fee directly to you, how are they making their money? Every type of business has expenses that need to be covered, how are they making the money to do this? For non-profits, sometimes they have funding, grants or endowments they use to defer cost. In the for-profit industry, sometimes the fees are in the service and sometimes they are in the product. All in all, no matter the organization, they should be open in disclosing how they are paid. If the fees are in the product, ask how does that work? What is the industry standard? If you are not comfortable with the fees, or unsure of the cost there are resources to help you. Financial education is a good start, we offer tips and resources for a variety of financial decisions and needs to get you started. Most organizations that advise you on your finances will have an education component, whether
in information packets or sessions to attend. The more you know, the more you will secure in the decision you make. There are no quick solutions when it comes to your finances, sometimes ‘quick solutions’ have the highest cost. As the adage goes, ‘nothing in life is free.’ Be aware of the cost, be comfortable with what you are paying and shop around. 0005

MORE THAN FITNESS READY FOR ROUTINE With summer quickly coming to an end, many of us are preparing for a return to routine after having had a period of holidays, vacationing and enjoying ourselves. During this time, we often get away from our regular fitness routines, choosing instead to take advantage of outdoor time, day trips, etc. As fall approaches, we often look into “getting back into” our regular routines for both ourselves and our children. This may mean returning to a fall sport or exercise program that we let go of for the summer months. While it is hard to see the summer come to an end, the fall brings along with it many opportunities for activities that we can enjoy during this wonderful time of year. If you have taken some time off for the summer and want to get back to your pre-summer routine, just be sure to ease yourself back in gradually. Don’t expect to jump right back in where you left off without having to make some
adjustments. If you are getting ready to return to a sport that you have not taken part in for the last few months, some pre-season training to get your body back into shape and ready to go is a really good idea to help avoid injuries when you get back to playing. If you are considering signing yourself or your kids up for a new fall sport or activity, establishing a base level of fitness before beginning is a good way to not only avoid injury but also, to set yourself up for success. As we continue to enjoy the nice weather going into the fall, taking advantage of outdoor activities is great for the entire family. Hiking, cycling and walking/running are all great activities to build up your cardiovascular endurance while getting some fresh air outside. As the temperatures begin to cool down, it is enjoyable to take part in these activities outside once again. We are very fortunate to live in a scenic

area with many great trails and paths to explore and fall can be the perfect time to do this with the cooler temperatures and beautiful foliage. As you shift gears and prepare for back to school and regular routine in the coming weeks, be sure to take some time to consider your fitness routine and how you will make it a regular part of your family's’ schedule going into this busy season. 0044

FAMILY MATTERS CULTIVATING INTERESTS When our children return to school in September they will be coming home with oodles of forms and information relating to extra-curricular activities. With dozens of sign-up sheets on the kitchen table, parents across New Brunswick will be heard saying ‘what would you like to do?’ and, ‘what interests you?’ To assist with the decision making, some parents will sign their kiddos up for everything, and some will hold out for the just right activity. Many parents will spend money on activities their children won’t attend once. To cultivate and identify your kids’ interests and set the year off on the right foot here are some parental considerations. Productive Free Time Scheduled into the Day. Productive free time is when children are free to pursue their own interests at some point during the day. At first, this will require some support from you – the parent. To get your children started, make a list of areas your kiddos express interests in – building, writing, insects, gardening
or magic tricks. Introduce Many Areas of Interest. The internet, books, and museums are wonderful cost free reliable ways to expose your children a variety of interest areas. Don’t forget to share your interests with your children and plant the seeds for further exploration. Say No to Over-scheduling. Over loading your kids’ day could hinder their ability to explore and pursue their interests on their own. Give your children plenty of time each week to spend on their interests. Don’t forget to ensure their days are balanced and that they have time to participate in family and social activities too. Gather Information. To identify your children’s interests, look to their favorite things for help – water, cars, music. When out shopping or at the playground take notice of activities, people or materials that catch their attention and/or cause your children to be involved. Ask yourself
what makes them smile, excited, work hard? What do your children choose to do most often and what brings out the best in them? When we take a closer look at what captures our children’s attention, and find ways to join them in their interests, we can interact with them in ways that build their social, motor, cognitive and communication skills. This school year create an environment that allows your children the time and freedom to pursue their interests and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG ANNUAL ART SHOW I am a lucky man to have such good friends around me. Last year I was humbled when a friend asked if I would submit some images for the annual Cathedral Art Show fundraiser. However, the drama starts when you begin to go through your images, and they are all junk! Yikes! A moment ago they were all masterpieces and now utter rubbish. Again this year I was asked if I could bring some more pieces of my work. Of course I said yes, as last year was a surprising success as I sold all three within hours. So I ask some photography friends about a few images I have selected and we critique the quality of the image and its saleability. But, choosing three images is difficult. I no longer think of them as rubbish but I do wonder about what would really sell. I have my friend John, print my work onto to canvas as this seems to me a better fit amongst the others oils, water colours and mix mediums that will be present. As a woodworker, I had a piece in
St. Andrews and when it first went on display there was a lot of interest. But interest faded quickly as the market seemed to move from wood and sculptures to watercolours. Last year flowers, boats and dories seemed to garner a lot of attention. With this kind of fickle market it is difficult to decide on what to have printed. I rationalized that if whatever I select does not sell then I will be happy to hang them on my walls. Although that would be a bummer for the Cathedral. How this works is, an artist is asked to submit work to display and keeping in mind that a percentage will go to the Saint John Cathedral building fund. Last year was wonderful, all the salons and rooms were full with nicely displayed art and monies were raised for the building fund. I decided on local scenes; one of fisher's checking their traps in St. Martin’s but with an unusual point of view; one of Swallowtail Lighthouse, but where the
lighthouse plays a minor part in the image and lastly a landscape /seascape of an old mill in Quebec. The art show happens, October 27-29 at the Saint John Cathedral on Waterloo St. Come early to get first dibs on some wonderful art. Not only will you be beautifying your home but you will helping a good cause. Shoot - Print Share. 0032
