There is something so incredibly special about the bond between father and daughter. From the moment Kevin and I started talking about having a family, I have wanted a little girl for him to snuggle and cuddle and love. As long as the baby is healthy, I will be content, of course, but I will admit that there is a certain part of me that wants to see that bond between father and daughter grow. Looking back, I don't really know when I became a daddy's girl. One of my earliest memories is of getting upset that mommy wasn't home to doctor my skinned knee. I was concerned that Dad wouldn't know how to “fix it� properly. Obviously, he managed just fine, as he did with all other tasks that I was convinced Mom needed to perform. As a young child, I felt that bath time and bedtime were activities to be shared with Mom - not Dad. He just didn't make bedtime snack the same way; he also didn't know all the right songs to sing. As I got older, Mom continued to be one of my best friends. She was my confidant and teacher and in many ways, Dad was relegated to second string. Maybe it was because he worked long hours outside the home whereas Mom worked from the home until all of us kids were older. Maybe it was because even when he was at home, Dad was busy with activities that didn't interest me, such as repairing the car or puttering around in his workshop downstairs. That's not to say I didn't love Dad and I was always happy when he was home to play with me, I was simply a mama's girl for many of my formative years and it wasn't until I was older that

I realized just what an amazing man my father was. The change happened so gradually, I can't pinpoint the moment when Dad became more friend than father figure. Whether helping me with homework, or encouraging me to reach my potential, my relationship with Dad became one of shared music, road trips, quiet moments spent watching TV, and conversations about life and love. We definitely bonded over our love of Christmas and one of my fondest memories is a shopping trip when I was in my early twenties. We spent the entire day together, wandering through the various stores, looking at Christmas ornaments and just enjoying the others' company. I don't remember much conversation, the day was about the time spent together rather than anything else. Now, I am looking forward to teaching my child some of the lessons I learned at Dad's knee, whether they be as simple as making sure to overlap the lego blocks to minimize the number of cracks in a wall, or as serious as respecting yourself above all others, regardless of what your peers believe of your ideals. And I am certainly hoping to see those moments between Kevin and baby Crealock. I know he will be as amazing a father as Dad was. 0001

CANADA DAY 150 A VERY BIG TIME ON THE BELLEISLE Few rural communities come together for Canada Day with such spirit as the Belleisle Bay. Residents and visitors throng the hamlet of Hatfield Point from 8:00am until the fireworks end with a bang. Be in place before the 10:00am parade gets underway along the flag lined route. Gather by the wharf for the Belleisle Middle School’s singing of “O Canada’ and the recognition of the Norton Legion’s oldest Veterans, Roy Pope and Ken Newell, as Parade Marshals, and a community cake cutting. Running concurrently is “The Schmozzle”, a 5km run through woods, streams from Springfield (Gillis of Belleisle Winery) to the Hatfield Point
Wharf. Cheer on the runners as they climb out of the Bay onto the wharf shortly after noon. Throughout the day are games, bike rodeo, scavenger hunt for kids and silent auction, vendors, yard sale, Victorian tea for the adults. History buffs will love the Cemetery tours mid-afternoon, followed by the fiercely competitive Cake Auction. Settle in for a fish and chips dinner and square dance on the green. Music on the wharf is always a key feature of the day from 1:00pm on, with Jen and the Macs highlighting the evening from 7:00pm as people gather for the fireworks. For Canada’s 150th, count on something spectacular when the show begins at dark. 4569

SUMMERVILLE ART FESTIVAL The community of Summerville on the Kingston Peninsula across the Kennebecasis River from Saint John is one of New Brunswick’s best kept secrets. Beautiful, unspoiled and rich with tidal estuary wildlife, Summerville also has an artistic heritage few communities of its size can claim. A surprisingly large number of prominent artists have lived and worked there and many still call it home. The people of Summerville will
celebrate this heritage and the 150th birthday of Canada (and their local church) in their homes, their back yards and beaches in pop-up galleries on a mile-long stretch of Route 845. We welcome you to join our celebration. Join us for a festival of art, nature and community August 26, 12:00-7:00pm. Proceeds to support Summerville United Church.

LIVE WELL BOUNDARIES FOR HAPPIER LIVES A hallmark of failed or failing relationships with partners, family members, peers, and friends, is the lack of strong boundaries. Boundaries are much more than one’s personal space - they encompass every aspect of one’s life. What are boundaries? They are invisible limits that delineate where one choice begins and one choice ends. Healthy boundaries are true across all relationships, all situations and all times. Boundaries can be non-existent, allowing people to be intrusive in one’s life or us in theirs. They can be intermittent, meaning that one can have boundaries in some situations and with some people but not all the time. Or, one can have walls instead of boundaries - walls of silence, fear, words or anger or a combination. While walls protect one from being hurt, they also imprison by keeping others out. There are two kinds of boundaries internal and external. Internal boundaries refer to thinking, feeling and doing, while external boundaries are about one’s
physical, sexual selves. The function of boundaries is to protect you from me, me from you and me from myself. Setting healthy, internal boundaries means that I and others have the right to think what we think, feel what we feel, and choose our actions, if they are not illegal or harmful to myself or others. While physical boundaries are most often associated with physical and sexual selves, they also include those things that are external to us - our wallets and purses, dresser drawers, briefcases, pockets, email, snail mail, phones, and so on. Regarding sexual boundaries, individuals have the right to determine when, where, with whom and how they will be sexual, to agree to some contacts but refuse others. Internal boundaries are more difficult to maintain. Basically, no one has the right to tell me what to think or feel, even if my feelings make others uncomfortable. Individuals have the right to make decisions about how they want to live. Problems often arise when individuals
try to force their opinions on others or vice versa; these internal boundaries are violated when one is shamed or ridiculed for how they feel. Feelings just are, they are neither right nor wrong. Boundaries are about respect and caring, both about ourselves and for others. Where do we learn about boundaries? They begin in childhood with parents, caregivers and teachers modelling appropriateness, respect for others and ourselves and subsequently, become entrenched by practicing them throughout the lifespan at all times and situations. In addition to being respectful, boundaries help us to be honest and encourage truthfulness, tactfulness and trust. 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Director

Lobsters Try The Humane Way
Caught with traps in the bay, Put in glass cages on display. Huddled together on one side, It looks to me like they’re trying to hide. Then I think “this is insane,” But I’m assured they feel no pain. But I reply “they taste, eat and mate, So I don’t think there’s much debate.” In parts of our world it’s very true, Please don’t ask what they do. But if you must, they’ll surely say: “How do you cook your lobsters from the bay?”
DID YOU KNOW?
In some countries this against the law - one is Italy.

IN THE GARDEN BEETLES, BEETLES, BEETLES. Some Roses are red, some beetles as well, squirt them with soap and send them to H... We are well into the time when Lily Beetles do their dastardly work and though squishing is an option, both tedious and only marginally successful, there is an easy alternative, 1 or 2 tablespoons of dish soap in 1 litre of water is the easy way to deal with them; thoroughly drench both the beetles and the soil surrounding the plants and all will be well. By now the dwarf yellow and purple Iris will have finished their welcome blooming and, with the recent glorious rain the ground is in perfect condition for a bit of dividing and transplanting to take place; Iris are not heavy feeders but it’s good policy to sprinkle a little bone meal in with some good soil before planting into a well weeded, preferably new location. By switching location when transplanting, one can leave behind the dreaded Iris borers and by careful
inspection avoid taking any along with the transplants. So much for pests and on to the beauty that awaits us in the Rose garden; by now all the stems are well leafed out so it is safe to carefully cut out any stems that look diseased. Often there appear some darker portions of stem that appear to be alive, however these odd looking patches usually harbour some weakness that might well infect the rest of the shrub; it is better to lose a few potential blooms than to risk major problems later, so, cut ‘em out. By the time I write my next column the Tall German Iris will be blooming and it is vital to be on the mark with deadheading; these beauties will last twice along if they are attended to daily, they are easily damaged by a good rain since the spent blossoms soak up moisture and will quickly rot the emerging blooms. Pretty well every kind of vegetable should be in the ground by now. (I shall have sharp words for the weather chaps if they
encourage any more of the cold nights), it is prudent though to have some covering cloths available to protect the less hardy types like tomatoes, peppers and Egg Plants if low temperatures appear. Cold nights can seriously retard growth and therefore delay harvest date. Just remember that all weeds and vegetation taken from the garden are capable of producing excellent compost for the future; a bin filled this year with this good stuff along with kitchen waste, will produce perfect potting soil if left for three years....make that two years if you can add a bit of manure, way to go! Blessings. 0039

LIFE BALANCE THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS “Connection with a loved one is oxygen for us all.” ~ Dr. Sue Johnson. Numerous studies have been conducted with the following question in mind: How can one lead a fulfilling life? For years, this question has boggled the minds of many people. What is the answer, exactly? Is it more money? A successful career? More material goods? As we live in a world where we must divide our attention among so many factors - career, home life, social life… prioritizing our lives in hopes of gaining fulfillment can be difficult. The Grant and Glueck study, which seeks to answer this mind-boggling question, did so in an impressive and revolutionary way. Over a period of 75 years, a series of researchers tracked and studied the physical and emotional well-being of more than 700 people. According to Robert Waldinger, the current director of the Harvard University study, the answer to a fulfilling life is simple: good quality
relationships lead to happier, healthier and more fulfilled individuals. The key word here is quality. It is not about the number of friends that you have in your circle, or how long you have been with your romantic partner. It is rather the closeness of the relationship that matters. How safe do you feel with the person? How deep is your relationship with them? How vulnerable can you be around them? These are all questions that can measure the quality of a relationship. Having that special connection with someone has significant physiological, emotional, psychological and physical repercussions. For instance, a more relaxed nervous system, a clearer and healthier brain and reduced physical and emotional pain are some of the benefits named in the study. So the next time you are on your phone, aimlessly scrolling through Facebook or Instagram instead of being present with a close friend or significant other, consider putting the
phone down – for the sake of your mental health, among other things. It is important to note, however, that not fully dealing with your own emotional or mental distress caused by difficult life events, such as losing a family member, losing a job, or a car accident, can potentially damage the quality of a relationship. This is a good reminder to seek help from a professional if you are struggling through personal issues. Your happiness depends on it.

WAR AMPS KEY TAG SERVICE Most of us don’t realize how valuable our keys are until we lose them. With remote starters and built-in unlock systems, keys are not as simple or cheap as they used to be, with many owners paying hundreds of dollars in replacement fees. But for more than 70 years, The War Amps Key Tag Service has been helping Canadians avoid these costs. Each key tag has a confidential number so if you lose your keys, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag or place them in any mailbox, and The War Amps will return them to you by courier at no cost. Although it’s a free service, donations provide child amputees, and amputees across the country, with vital programs and financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs. If you did not receive a War Amps key tag, you can order them at waramps.ca or call toll free 1-800-250-4583. 4583
