I was working on the computer a few days back and I was reminded by the radio that the swearing in ceremony was being held for the new Liberal cabinet. Now to be up front I did not vote Liberal, but I was interested what the new cabinet would look like. So I found the online stream for the event and started watching. Wow, old white guys in a minority. Bunches of women, immigrants, disabled, indigenous people, visible minorities, and some old white guys. I was first flabbergasted and then just as proud as punch to finally see a cabinet that really represented my country. I know!! What about qualifications?? A long time ago I too felt you had to be an old white guy with degrees and money out the ying-yang in order to properly represent me. But, then I got smart and asked the very good question “How can they represent me, when we are not even close to being alike.” The fact is they were really good at representing old white guys and that is likely why we have thousands of our indigenous people living in third world conditions. Who can best represent 50%+ of our population, an old white guy with six degrees or a woman. Doesn’t matter whether she has six degrees or grade six, she is far better qualified to represent over half of the population. As a general rule, I just love women and would prefer to hang out with a bunch of women than guys, especially if the guys tend to have any macho traits. But, I would never pretend that I
really understand women and perhaps that’s part of the attraction. So while I admire and think women are the best people on earth, I could never imagine actually trying to represent them. If appointed as minister of women affairs, I would quickly appoint a woman to tell me what to do. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly believe that some of these people are going to screw up. But then again, so do old white guys. We could start with Mike Duffy and go on for hours. So if there are failures along the way, let’s not revert back to the old ways. Many of this cabinet are newcomers and not going to be politically smart, so it is important that they be given a reasonable opportunity to do their jobs. And if they do not succeed, let’s find another woman, minority or whatever and give them a chance. Heck, even old white guys deserve a chance to prove that they can do a job. 0001

LISTEN IN STEPHANIE MAINVILLE COMES HOME Stephanie Mainville has been a mainstay of our greater maritime musical community for many years, racking up a steady stream of accolades which span the musical genres of folk, Celtic, pop, and gospel all while remaining an artist and human being of the highest moral order. Mainville has carved out her own niche, a journey that seems to pave a brighter future with each passing year. The Kingston (NB) native and her family have recently uprooted to make a new home base for themselves in Halifax. I had the opportunity to talk to Stephanie a few days ago about life’s new chapter and her full band (6 piece) concert coming up in Kingston on December 6. “I had an amazing trip to (Munich) Germany. It was a first for me. Kind of a national group that I was travelling with; through the same folks who invited me to Israel last year. It was amazing!’ Stephanie tells me about her very busy current worship tour dates. I have to add this is all while her feet have barely touched down
in Halifax and all the glamour (not!) that moving entails. “There were about 5700 hundred people there (Stadium in Munich) and 140,000 streaming (on-line) from 100 nations during the gathering in Germany. Truly extraordinary!” “There are more people believing for hope for this crazy world of ours than those who despair over it.” Stephanie says compellingly. “It’s incredible, the whole live streaming thing. It’s kinda’ blowing me away how when people are interested in something and can’t go to it (event), they can catch via the web. What an amazing world we are in!” Stephanie says about the powers of streaming and creating an intimate global community in events such as this. Good News! Stephanie and her band will be doing a fundraiser concert for the Trinity Anglican Church on the Kingston Peninsula on December 6 at 3:00pm. Tickets are $15 and the church is an ideal and unique venue to experience such a special and reverent musical experience. Stephanie tells she will
Now Accepting Registration for Winter 2016 Programs
be performing Christmas music (of course) as well as some of her own material. It’s always special to have her home so don’t miss this opportunity to see her with her amazing band! Tickets are available at the Church office and at the door the day of the show. If you’re on Facebook go to the event page here for further info - facebook.com/ events/1652729571668855. Stephanie also has some other dates in December while she is home including at the Rivercross Church in the North end as support for a Christmas Cantata and performing at the CBC Christmas show at the Saint John City Market on December 11.

ASK THE CHEF GOT PIZZA? Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and catering with another answer to your question. This week I was asked about the origins of pizza. Now pizza has to be one of the easiest and cheapest things to make and this article will tell you about how you can make a pizza at home in minutes when you are running late. The word pizza was first used around 997 AD in Gaeta Italy. It referred to a bread that was topped with different ingredients. This bread is commonly know today as focaccia. Different variations were produced over many years, taking on different appearances but still being called pizza. In 1950, the first pizza oven appeared in Canada and the pizza craze began. Thin crust, thick crust, these would all depend on the region that the pizza was served. Today we have more pizza restaurants than any other style of restaurant. So why is pizza so popular? Is it because it only takes 15 minutes to have one made? Is it because you can put whatever you
With Two Locations to Serve You
want on it? Is it because it is the perfect food? That’s right, the perfect food? A pizza represents all four food groups. It has bread and grains, vegetables, dairy and protein. How many meals can say that? So here is something I like to do at home. I always have pita bread in the freezer. You can make your own or buy a bottle of tomato sauce. So you take a pita, add your tomato sauce, add whatever ingredients you may have in your fridge and grated cheese. Place it in a hot oven for 10 minutes or so and there you have your own pizza which cost you less than $3. If you want to make it a fun dinner, toppings in bowls, different cheeses, different sauces and have each person create their own pizza. That is one way to have fun with dinner and you control what toppings are available. So if you want everyone to eat healthily only offer healthy options. Kids are more likely to eat something they have created then what is put in front of them, especially if
Saint John - Lancaster Mall 693-4056 Mon - Fri: 9am-4pm Hampton - 582 Main Street 832-2367 Wed & Fri : 9am-4pm
it is healthy. I love pizza. It ranks up there as one of my favourite meals. I have three criteria when choosing a pizza restaurant. Crust, cheese and toppings. Crust must be fresh, homemade and consistent all the way from the middle, out. Cheese must be stringy, with a little colour of brown. Toppings are always important. If you like pepperoni, it better be real and very good pepperoni. Most important is that the ingredients must be present on each slice or even better, each bite. Pizza has to be one of the greatest culinary inventions. Now I gotta go. I have a hankering for some pizza. 0040

DIRECTOR’S NOTES 10 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT IMPERIAL THEATRE #10 - Imperial Theatre’s first manager, Walter Golding, was responsible for convincing the Keith-Albee chain to build it in 1913 and stayed with the theatre until his death in 1945. He actually lived in an apartment at the Imperial with his wife and four children.
#9 - Loyalist City Paranormal did an overnight investigation at the theatre, revealing various ghostly activities. You can see the documentary on YouTube. #8 - A building audit last year revealed major issues with our front façade. If you look up, you can see that there is safety

netting over the top floor to prevent brick spalls falling. #7 – Over the next year, Imperial is undertaking a restoration of the façade, anticipated to cost about three million dollars. #6 - Imperial Theatre is a completely independent charitable organization, not owned by the city. We have no ongoing funding for capital needs so we are solely responsible for taking care of this this 102 year old building. #5 - About 30% of operational funding for the theatre comes from the Greater SJ Regional Facilities Commission and the Department of Canadian Heritage. The remainder comes from ticket sales, rentals and fundraising. #4 - This year is season 22 since the theatre's grand re-opening. Every year we present about 35 live shows, featuring the finest artists in music, dance, theatre and variety from Canada and around the world. #3 – In the last few years we’ve also started showing documentary and retro films. On November 2 Imperial Theatre screened the Academy Award winning documentary "20 Feet from Stardom". It's the amazing story of some of the singers who created rock and roll, featuring Darlene Love. #2 - Darlene Love performed "It's Christmas Baby Please Come Home" annually on the David Letterman Show for 23 Years! In case you were wondering why I made a top ten list, now you understand. #1 - Darlene Love is bringing her "Love for Christmas" show to Atlantic Canada for two shows only, one of them at the Imperial Theatre on November 25. This woman is a force of nature and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. 0030

EMERGENCY MEASURES Q. I have high income but am still having trouble paying my bills. Can I still declare bankruptcy?
BE PREPARED - NOT SCARED The truck zipped past, creating a whirlwind of blinding snow and throwing the road slush up on my front window. I thought, “He must be in a hurry to get somewhere! I hope it’s worth it.” Typical morning drive to work during the winter of 2013. Winter storms kill more Canadians than those killed by floods, hurricanes or thunderstorms. Taking the time to Be Prepared – Not Scared for winter driving may save your life. Preparing your vehicle: Before the snow flies, I have both of my vehicles checked and serviced. The extra demand for power from your vehicle's heating system, defrosting system and windshield wipers places additional demand on your battery and electrical system. Windshield wiper fluid, coolant system, engine oil and transmission fluids are checked. Changing over to winter tires is a family tradition. These tires handle the snow and road slush more effectively than all season tires. I take the time to remove the snow from my hood, roof and trunk before I drive. Preparing yourself: I know that the roads may be slippery. I increase the distance I am following vehicles. Approaching an intersection, I start slowing down and brake earlier. I have seen too many vehicles slide into an intersection instead of stopping. I left for work earlier than in the summer. The extra time allowed me to adjust to the driving conditions and not worry about being late. I was fortunate to work for an employer who did not dock you
time if I arrived late due to winter driving conditions. I always check the weather conditions for the next day. Forewarned is forearmed! In planning a long trip, I would call ahead and provide them with an estimated time of arrival and my route. I also had a fully charged cell phone and a vehicle cellphone charger. I have been, in the past, described as an aggressive driver. Thankfully, that has changed, after working with some fine police officers. One summed it up as “Brian, there are old safe drivers and there are young aggressive drivers. But there are no old aggressive drivers”. On that day, back in 2013, I finally found out where the speeding truck ended up. Twenty minutes after it roared past, I found it, off the road, buried in snow, and the driver sitting on the side of the road. I stopped, got out and checked that he was ok. A couple of minutes later the Musquash Fire Department arrived. The firefighters did a better job of checking him and we waited for the ambulance. Later I learned he was only shaken up, with a few bruises. The truck was not as lucky. It had sustained over $20,000 worth of damages. It could have been worse.
A. Yes, you can file for bankruptcy if your income is high. To qualify for bankruptcy, you need to be insolvent which means you are unable to make your payments as they come due. So, if you are insolvent you can go bankrupt regardless of income.
However, the payments you make during bankruptcy are based on your income. So, if your take-home pay is high then your payment is higher than if your income is low. The monthly payment is made to the Trustee in Bankruptcy for the benefit of your unsecured creditors. High income earners often find that a proposal to creditors works better for them than bankruptcy. In a proposal, the Trustee will help you work out a payment schedule that will include a single monthly payment which is then paid to your creditors on a pro-rata basis. The payment schedule can be flexible to accommodate a variety of different situations. We are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your options.

SJ COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE
OPERATION RED NOSE Rothesay Kings Rotary Club will be giving residents in the Greater Saint John region the gift of safety once again this holiday season. Throughout the Christmas Holiday season, the local organization along with Belmont Health & Wealth, will be hosting Operation Red Nose, a national program that strives to prevent drinking and driving. Created in Quebec City in 1984, Operation Red Nose has become an important road safety campaign against impaired driving in more than a hundred communities in Canada, which includes the Acadian Peninsula, and in 2015 Saint John. The organization and its numerous volunteers provide a safe ride home service to the inebriated during the holiday season. It is an original way of getting home safe in one’s own vehicle without taking the wheel… and the service is free. The program is returning to the region for the first time in four years and we are happy to announce that all donations raised through the program will go directly to PRO Kids Saint John. We
have been working diligently to bring a number of sponsors and volunteers to help make the program’s return a success. We would like to thank title sponsor Belmont Health & Wealth, along with Platinum sponsors CAA, CAA Insurance, Hotspot and Property Guys.com for our first year. Their help, along with all our sponsors from the area, will help to make the program a success once again. Rothesay Kings Rotary Club and Belmont Health & Wealth are still seeking volunteers and businesses wishing to take part in the program. To learn more about the program, please send an email to saintjohn@ operationrednose.com or call the Belmont Health & Wealth Office at 6347050. We will have our website up and running shortly which will outline the program further. You can also visit the national Operation Red Nose site at: operationnezrouge.com/en/
The Saint John Community Christmas Exchange is a volunteer agency operating in the Saint John area, matching up those families in need, with groups or individuals willing to provide assistance. Would you consider providing a Christmas Dinner to one of the 2800 families who register for help each year? Individuals or groups wishing to assist a family or make a donation for a Christmas dinner may do so by contacting the Christmas Exchange office at 634‐7868 or by email at sjchristmasexchange@ nb.aibn.com. The Christmas Exchange Office will be open until December 18, Monday to Friday from 9:00am until 3:00pm. Those needing assistance are asked to register at a church in their neighbourhood. 3747

FAMILY MATTERS ELIMINATING DRESSING DISTRESS When children learn how to dress themselves it is a huge accomplishment, however, there is more to dressing then just putting on clothes. Dressing involves procedures, coordination and motivation. To help children be successful at independent dressing here are some ideas parents can try. 1. Start by introducing pants that have elastic waistbands and shirts without buttons. Once your children are dressing independently, practice dressing with different types of clothing (for example tighter fitting). 2. Let them know that the tags and labels on the inside of shirts and pants indicate the back of the garment. If the child is sensitive to clothing, cut the tags out or purchase seamless clothing and try washing the clothes several times before wearing. 3. Use a permanent marker to write on the inside of each shoe’s inner sole to help your children get the shoes on the right feet –
for example R for right and L for left. 4. Children usually learn to undress first so try starting there. 5. Be patient and allow for practice time. Learning to dress cannot happen when you are in a rush. Start on a weekend when there aren’t time pressures. On week days let your kiddos pick out their clothes the night before to eliminate one step and hurrying. 6. Provide verbal or visual cues as necessary. As children become more independent reduce the cues. 7. Lay the clothes out in the proper order and make sure all the clothes are turned right side out. 8. Use a favorite toy or doll to model dressing. When assistance is needed to dress, use the hand over hand approach until your children become more independent. 9. Try practicing getting dressed in front of the mirror unless your kiddos find it confusing.

10. If one side of the body is weaker or tighter than the other, dress that side first. For children who need a little more motivation to dress use rewards. It’s often best to keep these rewards concrete, for example stickers. Timers may also be useful incentives for certain children. Once you have a baseline, have them “beat the timer”. Keep it age appropriate and be as creative as you can. Remember this week that dressing doesn’t have to be distressing and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

“HATS OFF” TO CARDIAC WALK OF LIFE PARTICIPANT The SJRH Cardiovascular Health and Wellness Program hosted the 15th Annual Cardiac Walk of Life on September 12, 2015. On behalf of the Cardiovascular Health and Wellness Program I wanted to thank all of our supporters, volunteers and team members who helped make this event such a great success! Money raised will fund rehab equipment and staff education needed to maintain staff expertise in Cardiovascular Health and Wellness. On the 20th anniversary of the NB Heart Centre Cardiac Rehabilitation Program it seems fitting to express our gratitude to our special friends in the community and tell you this story.
Murray Gilchrist participated in his first Cardiac Walk of Life in January of 2003 after going through the cardiac rehab program following a cardiac surgery in 2002. He remembers attending his very first walk of life in 2004. 11 years later, Murray at the age of 86 remains committed to helping to make a difference in the lives of cardiac survivors. Mr. Murray Gilchrist has earned the title of top fundraiser for the last seven years raising a total of $ 40,892.05. Recently, Murray asked if there was a way that he could thank his supporters for their faithful funding over the years. We asked Ossekeag publishing

I Don’t Need A Special Day
I don’t need a special day to bring you to mind, The days I do not think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone, And no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on. My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, Your place no one can fill. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. -Author Unkown

READING THE CUPS SHE SHOWED NO FEAR, THE GUESTS LOOK ANXIOUS AT WHAT THEY MIGHT HEAR. WITH SPECIAL CARDS SHE MADE A STRANGE BED, THAT TOLD FORTUNES THAT WOULD TURN YOUR HEAD. THEY RETURNED OFTEN BOTH NIGHT AND DAY, THIS IS ALL FOR FUN AND GAMES SHE WOULD SAY. THEY OFFERED MONEY AND GIFTS OF EVERY KIND, BUT SHE RESPONDED “I COULDN’T CHARGE FOR A PIECE OF MY MIND”. ONCE SHE BOLDLY PREDICTED WITH A LOOK I’VE NEVER SEEN, THAT TWO GREAT FORCES WOULD CLASH IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN. THE PEOPLE OF EARTH THOUGHT IT COULD NEVER BE, SO WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT WE WILL SEE.

to publish Murray’s thank you note in the Valley Viewer; a request that was graciously granted. In doing so, we had to take this opportunity to extend our own sincere gratitude to Murray. Murray, I would like to let you know how much you matter to our program and want to thank you for your generous gift of time and devotion to our cause. Sponsors from all over the Saint John area made pledges each year so that Murray Gilchrist could continue to advance his mission for cardiac rehab and pulmonary rehab programs in the Saint John area. We thank everyone for their continued support. Through Murray’s endeavour, our program has seen many lives changed for the better. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi “... The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Billie-Jo Mabey, Manager Cardiovascular Health and Wellness Program, NB Heart Centre. 3781

OBITUARIES
FLOYD, Murray (Bud) Elmer It is with sadness that the family of Murray (Bud) Elmer Floyd, formerly of Quispamsis, Upham and Nauwigewauk NB, husband of Mary Floyd announces his death which occurred on Thursday, November 5 2015 at Kennebec Manor, Saint John. He was born on July 15, 1931 in Sussex NB, the son of the late Sterling and Pearl (Tait) Floyd. Bud enjoyed a number of occupations
throughout his life from a bread delivery man, propane delivery and installer, owner/ operator of an Irving Service Station to his many years as an asphalt inspector for the Dept. of Transportation. All were great experiences but the place he felt most at home was on the farm growing up or on his own farm in Upham NB raising a few cattle and having a few horses. Bud was the quintessential Canadian, he was most comfortable in rural Canada, in the woods hunting or going for a fish, at the Hampton rink watching a game or watching the Maple Leafs attempt victory one more time. Western movies and curling were favorites as well. Over the past few years as his health began to decline he would often enjoy the old stories of growing up around Sussex and the old songs that were such a big part of his life. Always humming or whistling a tune. Bud is survived by the love of his life, the mother of his children, his constant companion and best friend for 64 years, Mary Floyd. Their seven children and their families, Richard (Nancy), George
(Cathy), Beth Thompson (Gerald), Sterling (Sanna), John (Dorothy), Jim (Cindy) and Wallace (Dana). Always very proud of all his grandchildren, nothing brought more joy than Jim Floyd (Sarah), Amy Rhyno (Scott), Devon Floyd, Justin Floyd, Kelly Thompson (Aaron Reinhart), Jill Hamer (Adrian), Krista Floyd (Joe Francis), Alice Floyd, Emily Floyd (Mike Arsenault), Jeremy Dickinson (Nathalie), Josh Dickinson, Andrew Floyd, Sarah Floyd, Ryan Floyd, Liam Floyd, Brittany Morris (Sean Robertson-Tait) and Ben Floyd; along with great grandchildren Nolan, Spencer, Camden, Sage and Nicklas. Also left to remember the past and the great times they shared is his brother Russell Floyd (Connie) and their families, as well as several nieces and nephews from both the MacMillan and Floyd families who will fondly recall many fun times in Wallace NS and Nauwigewauk NB. Bud was predeceased by his sister Dorothy and her husband Arthur. The family would like to acknowledge the exceptional care and compassion provided to our dad by Kennebec Nursing Home over the past nine months and also acknowledge the memory of his physician, the late Dr. David Salgado, who always went above and beyond the call of duty. He rested at Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton NB with visitation on Sunday, November 8 2015 from 6:00 to 8:00pm. Funeral Service, conducted by Rev. Kelly Hudson-Lewis, was held from Hampton United Church at 11:00am on Monday, November 9 2015. Pianist Janet Kidd and the church choir lead the congregational hymns “Here, I am, Lord”, “Take My Life and Let it Be”, “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You”. Scripture readings were done by Amy (Floyd) Rhyno, Andrew Floyd and Kelly Thompson. Words of remembrance were done by Bud Belyea. Honorary Pallbearers were Mark Floyd, Larry Floyd, Harold Floyd, Steven Floyd, Mike Floyd, Gerald Thompson, Mike Ketchum and Timothy Ketchum. Interment followed in Riverbank Cemetery. Donations in memory of Bud may be made to the Nauwigewauk Education Foundation, Kingsway LifeCare Alliance or to the memorial of the donor’s choice. Personal condolences to the family and donations may be made through ReidsFH. com. 0007

MUSINGS MEMORY UPGRADE PLEASE If only people were like computers and we could upgrade our memory periodically. There was a time when my memory never failed me. (‘Course there was also a time when I could wear a size 4, but let’s not go there!) Names have never stuck, but events, appointments, conversations, information from books I had read. . . all there when I needed them. Now, not so much. I have however developed a number of ways of ensuring things don’t get forgotten and normally all is well. But when it fails, it really fails. Last night I was having a conversation with my granddaughter regarding two things she needed to remember to do when she got home. She had finished her homework at our place and was heading home. She had a form from the school that needed to be signed and she had an invitation that she had to discuss with her mother. Both needed to be taken care of
that night. As she headed out the door I repeated several times “purple form, sleepover, purple form, sleepover, purple form, sleepover”. A short time later I noticed Michael had an appointment marked on the calendar with our mechanic. When I asked if he was having a problem with the car he explained this was just for the inspection. As I processed this I asked “doesn’t the Fusion (my car) come before the Subaru (his car)”? Since neither of us could remember when the Fusion was last inspected, out I went to the cold dark garage to find out. . . couldn’t stand not knowing. Yep, it did come before the Subaru. . . the inspection ran out last month. And while I know lots of people who have had the same experience, what really irks me is I had the same thing happen last year! How could I let that happen? As soon as the auto garage was open
this morning I was on the phone and got an appointment for the car. I also went into my electronic calendar and put a reminder in for November of next year so this will NOT happen again. As for my granddaughter, she did much better than Nana in the memory department. She had the permission for the sleepover taken care of, the form for the school signed, but had forgotten to put it in her bookbag. She dashed back home to fetch it and was good to go. I didn’t mention my memory fail . . . 0002
