Is it just me or is there a strange dichotomy between the clothing, toys, and accessories available to boys versus girls? I have often struggled to find an appropriate gift for my nephews whereas shopping for my nieces is a breeze. I have frequently lamented to my sister that her boys are hard to buy for- mostly because I don’t want to buy them nerf guns or dinky cars for every occasion. I like educational, fun, imaginative toys and once they outgrew Playmobil, my options became much more limited if I didn’t want to break the bank (and with ten nieces and nephews to shop for, unfortunately that extremely cool large Lego set simply isn’t on the shopping list). Gift purchases for the girls are easier as there are several craft options marketed specifically for girls in addition to the traditional Barbie, stuffed animal or doll. There is even pink and purple Lego available, although I’m not sure why it’s not included with the other colours and is sold separately. Walking through the baby aisle at the store for the first time as a parent rather than an aunt was eye opening. Everything girl was light, bright, pink, frilly and oh-so-pretty. The boys’ side of the aisle was made up of darker, primary colours, and heavily featured cars and trucks and things that gonothing light, airy or frilly to be seen. Perhaps it is because little girls are so much fun to dress up? From the moment Kevin and I revealed that we were having a girl, the ladies in our family have been talking about tutus and tiaras, glitter and ribbons. We have
had many a discussion about when to get her ears pierced, whether or not she’ll have curls to play with and style, and how often can we play dress up. To wit- we have agreed that she will get her ears pierced if and when she wants, and is old enough to properly care for them. As far as playing dress up goes, Kevin keeps reminding me she is not a little doll, but Emma has been given several sweet dresses and outfits and I feel guilty not having her wear each gift at least once for a photo-op. Thanks to everyone for their generosity! I believe there has even been talk about a “spaday” for the Crealock cousins once Emma is old enough to have her nails painted. I don’t recall my sister and I ever discussing hair-styling or playing dress-up for her boys, regardless of how many little outfits we have cooed over. I feel so lucky to have my little girl; I know that she can do anything and be anyone that she chooses, whether a doctor, a writer, a house-wife or a computer tech. I just wish that the toys and accessories available to her were less pink. 0001

SQUARE DANCERS SUPPORT TERRY FOX In 1999 New Brunswick square dancers held their first fundraiser for Terry Fox. A very large crowd of us walked and danced across the Reversing “Falls Bridge in Saint John. The city arranged for traffic to stop for us. We had a great time and raised quite a good amount. Since then we have held a Terry Tox Dance every September. Most often it has been held in the Lion’s Club Hall in Penfield. Various NB callers have participated. We have as members a good many dedicated workers who have taken charge and hosted, and we are very grateful to them. Each year we have a dance, silent auction, BBQ and a Luminary Ceremony. Each club contributes as well. To date we have raided over $90000 and next year we are hoping to exceed the $100,000 mark. The Terry Fox Fund is a very worthy cause and we are proud to be contributors. 4729

DOLLARS & SENSE TALKING ABOUT HOLIDAY SPENDING With November as Financial Literacy Month, I thought back to the most common comment we receive about financial literacy, “they should be teaching this in schools.” We completely agree, and we are seeing curriculum shifts in that direction, and interest from educators about how to incorporate financial literacy into all courses. To develop good, solid financial practices, you need to understand how money motivates and can move you in certain directions. With financial literacy, it is not just something you learn, it is also something you practice. Christmas is a great time of year to increase your financial literacy (no matter your age). As I write this I could walk into any store and see the Christmas ornaments side by side with the Halloween candy. It is the season of spending (and borrowing). Whether you are spending money on gifts,
With Two Locations to Serve You
travel, food, entertaining, parties… the possibilities for spending are endless. Here are some ways you can increase yours or your child’s financial literacy: Make a list (checking it twice) of the people you would like to buy for and what you are planning to buy for them; Write down what you would expect each item on that list to cost. This can be completed by searching on-line or going to a store; Set your cash budget; how much do you actually have to spend; Add both the list and budget. If you are over on cost, you would have to borrow money. If your borrowed money what would that cost, and how long would it take you to pay it back after the excitement of the holidays have passed; Pick a cause. Make sure you include on your Christmas todo list to donate. This can take many forms, such as time, a toy, cash, shoebox, toiletries, clothes etc. Not all donations will cost you money, talk
about options and which ones may suit. Developing good money habits will go a long way to increasing financial literacy. During November we would love to hear your ideas on increasing your financial literacy, use the hashtag #MoneyTalk and tweet us @ SolveyYourDebts or on Facebook at 0005 facebook.com/solveyourdebts.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES DO “THE ARTS” HAVE A PUBLIC RELATIONS PROBLEM? I suspect that the simple act of calling them “the arts” may be the first error. It brings to mind (correctly or not) something unfamiliar; something, dare I say, a little snobby; a little too high-brow for comfort. When you Google “the arts” you get: works produced by human creative skill and imagination, a skill at doing a specified thing, typically one acquired through practice. Wikipedia says: The arts refers to the theory and physical expression of creativity found in human societies and cultures. So, it’s creativity and expression. That’s not the least highbrow or snobby. So why the stigma for some of us? By “some of us”, I mean me. Before I starting working at Imperial Theatre I thought that the Theatre was a little stuffy. To me, Imperial was an evening at the Symphony with my Mom. It was tiny glasses of wine at intermission and awkward conversation with my old French teacher that we ran into in the lobby. It was, most definitely, FT

proponent of opera and the classics; the rocker; the comedy fanatic; the indie nerd(s); the folkie, the theatre purist and everything in between. The common thread that runs between us is the desire to give you best shows possible and to bring you back for more. We may just be a bunch of arts nerds but we really do care about this city and this old building, and we want you to care too. So, let’s all try to adjust our view of “the arts”. Or…just call them whatever you want. But most importantly, come to the theatre. And not just Imperial; go to the BMO Theatre for the Saint John Theatre Company, KV Players or your local high school production. Just get out there and support “the arts” and let’s shake off this stuffy reputation and just enjoy ourselves.

not cool and…yes, a little stuffy. Just so we’re clear, I am no longer the young woman that I was but I still do not like stuffy. And while I now love Symphony New Brunswick I have learned by working here that Imperial is so much more! The traditions that Imperial represents to so many are beautiful, as well as important, but they are not the whole picture. The whole picture is one that is diverse and open. It is a theatre and a building that represents more than just a gorgeous history, but an exciting future. A place that welcomes everyone. A place that wants to be a part of the lives of every citizen in our city and surrounding areas. A place that supports “the arts” of all types and does its best to find shows that will appeal to more of you every season. If I sound painfully hopeful, it is because I am and so are all of us at Imperial. We work in the arts but we are as diverse as those very arts. We represent it all here: the classic musical theatre lover; the

ASK MARY VENTING & POSITIVITY I used to be a positive person before my loved one died, but now I seem to be constantly venting about what isn’t right and it makes me sad. Can you help me change this habit? You’re lonely without your loved one and just for now, complaining can make you feel better – if done within limits. The very word “vent” tells us that letting off some pressure can be cathartic and necessary. It’s easy to tell whether you need to vent or if you are venting too freely. You’re not venting enough if you refuse to share intense emotional issues of anger, grief and suicide. Talk to people you can trust, even if you have to find a therapist or support group. Believe me when I say that you will feel better once you have a safe place to vent away your frustrations. On the flip side, you are venting too much when you complain about something constantly without doing anything to change or accept it. Consistent venting can become truly toxic and creates a sense of powerlessness
that causes even more venting. The cure for excessive venting is confronting the issue and using all your energy to push through your fear to reach for positive change. If something is unfair, stand up for change. If it’s in the past, let it go and if it’s in the present stop venting and do something about it, or let it go. Get some paper and write a letter to yourself about what’s really bothering you. Don’t hold back, list all your anger, disapproval and anger. Just doing this will let off enough pressure to help you think more clearly. Now get a second paper and describe the way you feel about each item on your “bothering you” list. Don’t lay blame but instead just describe in detail what’s happening and your feelings. On your third paper write out what must change for you to remove the item from your list. What steps can you take to change or release it? Also, write out what happens if you don’t take action and instead just continue to vent about it.
Now that you’ve clarified exactly what steps you need to take and what will happen if you don’t, you can get past your fears and disappointment to end victim venting. But, remember positive venting is healthy, helping us to live a bolder life – so the choice is yours. For more info or questions, mary@ thesisterhoodofwidows.com. 0016

UNFILTERED TIPS FOR HOSTING THE PERFECT WINE TASTING PARTY With the cooler weather upon us, now is the season for indoor entertaining. Why not consider hosting an in-home wine tasting party? They are becoming more popular every year as people become more interested in learning about wine in an informal, friendly and fun environment. They allow your guests to try and learn about a variety of different wines and wine styles, and they are much easier to pull off than you might think. The first decision to make is which types of wines will you be tasting. Some folks choose the wines to pair with certain foods, such as for a dinner party for example. Another option is to choose a particular wine region: France, Italy, Argentina, etc. or a particular grape variety such as; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay etc. or style (sweet, sparkling, fortified). The possibilities are endless. Here are a few great tips that I would like to share; Ask your guests to bring a bottle of wine for tasting with them in lieu of a hostess
gift. This takes the pressure off of you and allows your guests to introduce you to a great bottle of wine that may have discovered; Ask your guests to avoid wearing scented products, and ensure the room is also free from overwhelming scents that will interfere with the wine tasting; Supply your guests with pen & paper so that they can jot down their thoughts and impressions of the wines to share with the group; Always use very clean, clear wine glasses. If they have been previously washed in the dishwasher rinse them with very hot water to ensure there is no residue left behind; Have a few palate cleansers available for guests if you will not be serving food. Palate cleansers do exactly what you would expect them to do. They help to erase the flavours of the previous wines from your palate. Great examples include, slices of French bread, mild cheeses and crackers. You will also want to have water available, as well as spit cups; Finally, the order that the wines
are served in is very important. Always serve white wines before reds, light bodied before full, and dry before sweet. Not serving them in the proper order will make it very challenging to taste the wines. Finally, of course remember to encourage all of your guests to drink responsibly, offer for them to spend the night, or call them a cab to ensure that they arrive at home safely.

SELF ESTEEM MENTAL ILLNESS & ME Mental illness is often invisible. The first week of October was deemed Mental Illness Awareness week. As many of you know, one of my life goals is to eradicate the stigma that can accompany mental illness. When a person has to take medicine to regulate blood sugar, we get that. When a person has had a stroke and needs physical therapy to regain use of extremities, we understand that. However, some don't understand that our brain can fall ill as well. It may mean taking medicine for a chemical imbalance or going to talk therapy. How is that any different? Simply put, it isn't! I feel we have all come a long way in understanding mental illness but I also feel we can always learn more. I'd like to share with you some of the insights I have gained from being mentally ill... There is absolutely NO SHAME in having a mental illness. Having a mental illness can actually make you stronger. You feel things much more intensely
than the average person. You see things from a completely different perspective. You have thought after thought after thought (some positive, but most not). Having a mental illness makes you fabulously incredible! You wake up each morning, feeling dread and yet you go on. You conceal your pain, moment by moment. Throughout your day, you feel insecure yet you face others with a smile. At times, you are drowning in your own tears but you find the strength to resuscitate yourself. You don’t look sick but you feel it every single day. But you get up and get on with your day, just like everyone else. The average person can not do that! You have so many things to do in the run of your day and you do it all while fighting through the voices in your head that tell you can’t, you aren’t good enough, you suck, nobody likes you and on and on and on. You fight to live another day. Mental illness is different for everyone. In my experience, people are very

understanding and compassionate about mental illness for about three days, then they wonder why you’re not feeling better. Each of us have our struggles; whether they be physical, mental or spiritual. I believe we are more understanding of physical illness because we can see it. Someone broke their arm, they have a cast...that must've hurt or someone has had a heart attack and now has a scar down the center of their chest from open heart surgery. The scars from a mental illness may not show but they are there nonetheless. 0027 Edited for space, see full article ossekeag.ca

Fall CAR CARE
Autumn is nature’s warning of things to come; a pleasant reminder that harsher days are ahead. Perhaps Maritimers understand this better than most, so we take all the necessary precautions to help reduce the bitterness of the winter season. Most “winterize” their house or cottage, put wood in the basement and seal windows and doors. But what about that thing sitting in your driveway? It’s the machine you rely on to get you and your family to all the places you have to go, day in and day out. It’s the goal of this article to arm you with a few tips and tricks to help you get your vehicle through the toughest of seasons. With a little education and a bit of advice you too can prolong the life of your car and get the most value out of your investment. So let’s get started. The most basic and arguably the easiest of all preventive maintenance starts at the car wash. Salt and other debris
that can be harmful to metal collects on your car as you drive. If left unattended these minerals and acids will not only eat away at your car’s paint, but will also over time undermine your vehicle’s structural components. Some are more susceptible than others but none are safe from nature’s effects. Get in the habit of visiting your local car wash on mild days. You don’t have to get the turtle wax out, just pop a couple of bucks into the machine and spray off the exterior. Pay specific attention to wheel wells and along the bottom side of doors and panels, as these are the areas where salt collects and often goes unchecked. For obvious reasons it’s advisable to watch the weather and only wash your car on days above zero degrees, unless riding atop a block of ice is your preferred means of transit. If a window or door does become frozen, try to avoid forcing entry, park in the sun while at work and hopefully nature will fix it for you. The next step is even more simple
than the car wash; just clean your car out. Garbage and other junk stinks up your car and essentially destroys any enjoyability your commute might have had. When you stop and get gas, just take the extra second required to throw out refuge, your car and any passengers will thank you. This brings us to the topic of gas. I’ll admit it, running vehicles dangerously low on fuel isn’t as detrimental as it once was. The days of a vehicle’s fuel lines freezing up are, for the most part behind us. But that being said, you never know what lies ahead, and the last thing you want to do is to be racing for the gas station in a snowstorm with frosted up window. It’s a good idea to keep a little extra fuel in the tank, just in case. There are some fall vehicle preparedness steps that may be beyond your capabilities but they’re certainly not beyond a well-trained, well-equipped

technician. So your next step in getting ready for winter should be to your local service station. Most people have winter tires installed before the snow starts to fly. This is an opportune time to have your mechanic take a look at your steering, suspension and brakes. Honestly, by removing the wheels they’re already doing 99 percent of the work involved in this most basic of inspections. So if its cost you’re concerned about, it shouldn’t be much more to ask them to take a look around while they’re in there.
for it, if you don’t, Old Man Winter will force your hand and the inconvenience will be much greater, along with the selfdirected anger. To sum it all up, fall is a time for preparation. Most vehicle maintenance can be done buy a simple visual inspection and a few minutes of your time. Take the initiative to ask your mechanic some questions regarding the various mechanical systems of your car. I had an instructor in school who use to tell us that we should never assume we know more about a customer’s car than
While your car is in the shop for its winter tires, or winter check over, have all the fluids inspected. Automotive fluids have a service life, and certain driving conditions may cut that life down. If a fluid becomes low or contaminated mechanic damage will ensue. It’s best to strike while the irons hot and get these things taken care of before cold weather. When ambient temperatures drop so does the viscosity of fluid. Essentially this means that the particular fluid will thicken and respond to movement more slowly. So, if said fluid already has a few strikes against it, this could spell disaster for cold metal parts that rely on that lubrication. Have things like transmission fluid, power steering fluid, engine oil, brake fluid and engine oil checked, It may simply need toped off, or perhaps replaced all together; ether way it’s something to catch before it becomes a problem.

On the topic of fluid, an often-overlooked area is your windshield washer system. Only winter washer fluid can withstand temperatures below freezing. I usually try and use up as much of my summer fluid as I can before the risk of cold weather. Start filling your tank with winter washer fluid sometime in late summer or early fall. By the time winter rolls around your tank will most likely consist of the winter type. Failing to replace the summer fluid before cold weather could result in pump failure or a fractured tank, both of which can be easily avoided by switching over early on. Along with fluids, belts, hoses, batteries, starters and alternators should all be closely examined. Nothing major here, just have your mechanic take a closer look at them. If there is any doubt, it’s best to replace them now. Take my word
they do. After all, they’re the one who drives the car every day; they know when something doesn’t seem right. Perhaps it’s a sound that wasn’t there before, or maybe the fuel mileage isn’t what it uses to be. Regardless of what seems off, the driver is going to be the first one to pick up on it. Trust your instincts and get it checked out, fall is the perfect time to address these minor issues before they become major problems. Autumn is after all, nature’s time to prepare.

FAMILY MATTERS TEACHING SELF-CARE TO CHILDREN Self-care skills are skills that a person needs on a daily basis to live independently. They include eating, dressing, bathing, toileting and grooming. Teaching self-care skills is a process that begins at birth and goes on into adulthood. Children can find these skills difficult to perform for various different reasons. Consider the following when helping your children develop their self-care skills. Self-feeding. The best way to build independent feeding skills is to encourage your children to practice feeding themselves from infancy on. Let kids be as independent as possible during mealtimes and give them the tools they need to be successful. Consider bowls that attach to the table, child-sized utensils and small cups with handles and spouts for pouring. Dressing and Grooming. Encourage your kids to dress and groom themselves. Begin with older infants and toddlers by encouraging them to help pull socks on and off, pull up pants. As children get older, encourage them to dress themselves but help with challenging steps such as zipping and buttoning as these can be tasks for them. Hygiene, Bathing and Toileting. Look for signs of readiness for toileting. Your children can be encouraged to use the toilet by climbing on and off the toilet seat, pull clothing up and down, and hand washing. Also, teach your kids how to brush their teeth by having their toothbrushes handy for use after lunch, dinner and snacks. Many kiddos go through phases where they resist
bathing. Keep it fun and a consistent part of your family’s schedule. Be mindful that children have a drive to be independent and do things on their own but different skills come at various times. As your children grow, they learn to do more tasks, however they may need help with some things. Techniques that promote self-care skill acquisition can include use of: rewards, forward chaining, backward chaining, repetition, grading, adaptations, responsibility, integration and storytelling. Self-care skills are worth the time and effort. The secret to success is to give your kiddos age-appropriate experiences and provide them with appropriate supports to help them be successful. Remember, we model self-care skills; children learn a great deal from watching us. Encouraging children to take care of everyday self-care tasks helps them to become more independent, and frees up your time to plan other family activities. This week celebrate occupational therapy month by focusing on self-care and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAg CREATIVITY Are you creative? Most will compare themselves immediately to someone else and say no. The fact is most people are creative. To be creative you need two things, a thought and a way to turn that thought into an image. It is said that the most difficult part of any journey is the first step. The first step in this journey of creativity, moving from idea to an image, is to do something, anything that moves you towards your image. Set up a still life, call a friend or drive into the country or seaside, do something. Once you have done that, let the ideas percolate. Clear your mind and allow ideas to come. It is here that many will want to be original; good luck with that, as our creativity is born of a thousand parents. Every image, every painting, sculpture, poem has left a mark in our subconscious and it is from these sources of inspiration that much of creativity is born. Writer C.S. Lewis once said, “Even in
literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.” Take your ideas (thoughts) and plant them like seeds and let them grow. One idea leading to another idea. It may sound like I am saying to copy is okay, well it is, sorta. When you see an image you like, look at it and ask yourself what it is that makes me like this image? Is it the mood, the effects or lighting? Once you decided on what you appreciated about that image go out and make images of your own. If you like those images of light streaming through the tree, get up early and get to the woodlands and look for light. Make your image and then print it, because looking at your print is different than looking at it on a monitor. On a computer you images are backlit and often are quite bright.
FACE CANCER WITH CONFIDENCE Patients can register for upcoming workshops by calling 648-6885
Printed images are reflected light and appear darker. With print in hand, you can critique your image and ask yourself how can I make it more like so and so’s. Ideas come from past experiences. The ideas you followed through on will become the starting point for another idea down the road of creativity. Shoot Print - Share. 0032 Edited for space, see full article ossekeag.ca
