Relationships and Hearing Loss
There are millions of people from all walks of life
burdened by hearing loss; however, they do not seek
help. Yet, when one member of a family has a hearing
problem, it affects the entire family. It changes lifestyles
and the quality of life.
A major complaint among couples and families, without
regard to hearing loss, is the breakdown of
communication. Families find it increasingly more
difficult to talk with one another and hearing loss
exacerbates this problem. The inability to properly
communicate with a spouse, family member or friend
places incredible strain on relationships. Not only do
misunderstandings occur, but often people become
annoyed, frustrated, and even angry.
Persons with hearing loss can become depressed and
feel isolated from those they care about. It’s difficult for
them to be involved in sharing important things that
families and loved ones share, because they can’t hear
what’s being said. Couples and families need to be able
to communicate with one another day to day but also
during the most important occasions of their lives.
The quality of a person’s life is often associated with
relationships, especially with loved ones and friends. No
one wants to feel alone. Being able to understand and
communicate with loved ones is critical to keeping and
cultivating healthy relationships.

Ravings
by Mike Hickey
"FUNNY!!"
Every now and then I stumble upon something
that I think is so funny that I need to share it around.
"It seems a Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in
Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or
feminine. House, for instance, is feminine: la casa; pencil, however,
is masculine: el lapiz.
A student asked, "What gender is computer?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves
whether computer should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each
group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that computer should definitely be of the
feminine gender (la computadora), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other
computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for
possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
masculine (el computador), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time
they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
-- The women won."
My own ideas of women and computers is more like "Older models
can be great value but many are prone to going into "sleep mode"
unexpectedly. While rebooting them sometimes cures the problem,
they tend to get cranky. When not in sleep mode, older models
frequently emit an annoying whine. Computers and women
instinctively know if there is a man trying to control them and will
never do what they are supposed to."
In one major way women and computers are not alike whatsoever.
Feeding women seems to work wonders for their dispositions, but
feeding a hamburger into the CDROM tray is just plain messy!!!!

Miracle Treat Day

Thursday, August 12th
All Blizzard sales support IWK
Kennebecasis Valley & Saint John Locations
The IWK Health Centre provides quality care to women, children, youth and families in the Maritime provinces and
beyond. It is a respected centre for its world-class research into disorders and diseases affecting children and women.
As a teaching institution, the IWK is affiliated with Dalhousie University and serves as a primary clinical resource for
pediatric and obstetric teaching of a broad range of health professions including medicine, nursing, other allied health
services and child life.

Specialists from the IWK take their expertise to Maritime communities in the form of traveling clinics, particularly in
the areas of pediatric neurology, orthopaedics, cardiology and respiratory medicine. In addition, using computer-based
videoconferencing technology, the IWK provides specialized care to Maritime families through the Children's
TeleHealth NetworkTM.

As well, a team of specially trained nurses and respiratory therapists from the IWK travels by air and ground
ambulance to outlying Maritime communities to stabilize and transfer critically ill newborns, older children and
mothers with high-risk pregnancy situations.

All of us know of someone who has benefitted from the excellent care available through the IWK. All of us can help.
Here is an example of how your money is put to work for Maritime kids.

One of the priority needs of the IWK Health Centre in 2008-09 was the purchase of several SMART Syringe Pumps
for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). These new SMART Syringe Pumps are often needed by the tiniest and
the most critically ill patients at the IWK, as they deliver very small amounts of very powerful medications. Many of
these patients require several different medicines at one time and it’s not uncommon for one patient to use up
to 16 of these pumps. The new SMART technology turns a regular IV pump into a computer that will alert the
caregiver if the dose, rate or concentration of the medicine is outside of the recommended limits. The SMART pump
also builds a medication library so that dates, times, medication strength and amounts are recorded. This adds an extra
layer of safety to patient care at the IWK by ensuring precise and accurate delivery of medication. Thanks to IWK
donors who gave during IWK Radiothons in Moncton, Charlottetown, Halifax and Sydney, and during the IWK
Telethon for Children, the PICU received 39 new SMART pumps.

Some of the other pieces of priority equipment purchased, thanks to the generous support of IWK donors, in 2008-09:

* Series Single Door Blood Bank Refrigerator for the Birth Unit
* Dental X-Ray System for Perioperative/Main OR
* Reichert RX Master Phoropter for the Eye Care Centre
* Cosy Cots for the Birth Unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
* HillRom Stretcher for the Fetal Assessment and Treatment Centre
* Scalp pH Analyzer for the Birth Unit

Kristen Wheaton is challenging the community of Saint John to
hunt, climb and paddle to help people with liver disease. On
Sunday, August 22nd from 1:00-4:00pm Kristen is hosting The
Amazing Chase for Liver Race, a fundraising event in Rockwood
Park in support of the Canadian Liver Foundation. Beginning at the
Lily Lake Pavilion at noon, participants will embark on the first leg
of their race with a geo-caching adventure throughout Rockwood
Park - where they will be challenging themselves and other teams in
rock climbing and paddling challenges. Once they have finished the
race, competitors and supporters will enjoy a Barbecue Party at Lily
Lake.
Host Kristen Wheaton is living with a rare Liver disease called
Primary Sclerosing Colangitis (or PSC) and is currently on the
waiting list for a liver transplant. "I'm now 26 years old and when I
was diagnosed at 23 I didn't know anything about Liver Disease or
its symptoms. With the support of my family and friends, I know I
will make it through a transplant and I want to join others in the goal
of finding a cure for these life altering diseases." She hopes her story
will inspire others to get involved in the event and to learn more
about liver disease for the sake of their own health and their families.
Kristen hopes to recruit 80 teams at $100 per team with proceeds
going to support her fundraising goal for the Give'r for Liver
marathon team in 2011. The Canadian Liver Foundation's national
Give'r for Liver program in partnership with the Running/Walking
Room provides training to team members wanting to fundraise for
liver health while participating in national and international
marathons. The Amazing Chase for Liver Race is also a first step
toward another of Kristen's goals - starting a local chapter for the
Canadian Liver Foundation here in Saint John.
The Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) mandate is to promote liver
health and to reduce the incidence and impact of all liver disease. To
achieve this goal, the CLF works through volunteers and chapters
across the country to improve public awareness and understanding
of liver health and liver disease,

MUSQUASH PADDLE & BARBEQUE

On Sunday, August 8th at 11:00am the Saint John Fundy Chapter of
the Conservation Council of New Brunswick and Fundy Baykeeper
invite you to participate in a 10 km (6 mile) canoe, kayak or rowboat
paddle down the Musquash Estuary followed by a barbecue. The
paddle starts just above the Highway #1 bridge crossing at
Musquash and goes to Black Beach. This fun event allows people to
meander down the river and see the vast salt marshes, wildlife and
historic wrecks. The Musquash Estuary is now a designated Marine
Protected Area under the Canada Oceans Act. Conservation Council
of New Brunswick has been working towards this goal since 1998.
Come and see this special area!
Registration is $20.00 for individuals and $30.00 for families.
Registrants are encouraged to collect pledges for their efforts as
well.
Our goal is to be on the water paddling at 11:00am rain or shine.
For those who may not wish to complete the full paddle, there will
be a stop-off at Five Fathom Hole Wharf approximately 6 km (4
miles) along the route. There will be shuttles from both Five Fathom
Hole and Black Beach to take people back to their cars.
All paddlers must wear life jackets - bring your own. Dress for
changeable weather and bring sunscreen, hat, water and an en-route
snack. No motorized boats allowed. For those with no boat, call
506-659-2769 or 1-800-565-2925 for kayak/canoe rental info.
For any additional questions, please contact the Conservation
Council office at (506)458-8747 or
fundybaykeeper@conservationcouncil.ca.
We will be holding a BBQ and celebration reception at Black
Beach after the paddle. 813

Walk-ins Our government believes that seniors should be able to keep more
New Patients Welcome of their own money, and that is why we have introduced income and
Evening Appointments pension splitting for seniors, allowing you to allocate one half of
Direct Billing your pension or income to your spouse for tax purposes. We also
increased the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) earnings
exemption in Budget 2008 from $500 to $3,500. As a result,
working GIS recipients earning $3,500 or more are now able to keep
up to an additional $1,500 in annual GIS benefits. Our government
also introduced legislation to ensure that seniors only need to apply
one time to the GIS, instead of having to fill out paperwork every
single year.
I am proud of our government’s strong record of helping seniors to
keep more of their own money. We increased the Age Credit by
$1000 in 2006, and then by another $1000 in 2009. This means that
seniors can receive up to $967 in tax relief from this program in
2010 thanks to the actions that our government has taken.
Additionally, we doubled the Pension Income Credit from $1000 to
$2000, helping nearly 3.3 million pensioners. As a result of these
actions by our government, we have been able to implement $2.3
billion in targeted tax relief for our seniors in 2010-2011.
I am also proud to be part of our government, which has taken
action to ensure seniors are protected in our society. In our 2008

Local Businesswoman Supports
Humane Treatment of Animals
The owners of Parsnip Designs, a
Quispamsis home décor company that has
grown its business around dogs, is donating a
percentage of its sales to the Saint John
Animal Rescue League.
“We are very big animal lovers and we
believe that animals have the right to be safe,
healthy, and cared for," says Paulette Furey,
explaining they knew the Animal Rescue
League was moving location and looking to
raise over $2-million. "The Animal Rescue
League is a non-profit organization that
provides rescue, temporary housing, care
and assistance to stray and unwanted animals
in our community.”
"They do their best to find loving, caring and
responsible Forever Homes for all of the
animals in their care," she continues. "They
also attempt to educate their community
about responsible pet ownership, the
humane treatment of animals, and the
importance of spaying/neutering your pets."
She approached them in October last year
and Parsnip Designs will make its first
donation this fall.
Paulette, who moved to the Valley four years
ago, started Parsnip Designs in 2008
partnering with her brother Paul, who creates
the original artwork for the products.
Originally those products were high quality
wall units with quirky animal tiles, but the
by Trudy Kelly Forsythe

pair quickly realized most people wanted
dog tiles. They switched their focus to that
niche and launched their handcrafted leash
racks showcasing the company's signature
hand painted three-dimensional,
caricatured dog tiles the same month they
approached the Animal Rescue League to
offer financial support.
The humane treatment of animals is not
Paulette's only cause, however. She is also
involved with the Sophia Recovery
Centre, a non-residential facility for
female youth and women recovering from
addiction, and a program under the
umbrella of the Boys & Girls Club called
Youth Choices.
The latter involved going to priority
neighbourhoods in Saint John and giving
Valley Viewer - August 3, 2010
presentations about going back to school,
whether for GED, community college or
university. "I asked people what do you want
to do, inspired them to think about their
dreams again and encouraged them,"
explains Paulette.
"I let them know it's never too late to go
back." Paulette completed the six-month
project in June, meeting her goal to see 100
people, and she and the Boys & Girls Club
are now waiting for additional funding to
continue the project.
Paulette says she gives back to the
community, her family and those in need
because she has been so fortunate herself.
"It's important to give back when we have so
much in our own lives," she says.
To learn more about Paulette and Parsnip
Designs visit: www.parsnipdesigns.com
and: www.pattieparsnips.com.
We are looking for stories about people
making a difference in the KV - people who
donate money and work hard to keep
churches and local organizations operating,
people who provide time and leadership to
programs that serve youth, people who
organize and contribute to fundraising
activities that support worthy causes and
those in need in our community. If you know
a story about a community "Super Hero" we
want to hear from you. Call 832-5613 or

“We will HUFF ‘N PUFF and blow your house in”
By Debbie Hickey
TEN YEARS!
Can it really be ten years since Mike and I
started Ossekeag Publishing? Our very first
headline was "Yikes! How did we get here?" and I am still shaking
my head trying to figure out how it happened. I have often expressed
the view that had I any idea of the complexity of what I was getting
into I would never have had the courage to take on such a task. A
clear case of ignorance being bliss! There is a cool Mark Twain
quote that may apply here: "All you need in this life is ignorance and
confidence, and then success is sure." In my case, I would say the
confidence came from the ignorance. At any rate, any mistakes
have not been fatal and here we are ten years later, still growing and
still learning.
One of the things we are doing to mark our first ten years of
connecting our readers to their communities is taking a fresh look at
the layout and design of our community magazines. You will see our

Fundy suggest. We have certainly had fun playing!
So what else was going on in July/August of 2000, when we were
frantically getting our ducks in a row to become business owners?
On July 30th Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were married. George W.
Bush accepted the presidential nomination at the Republican
Insurance Company National Convention on August 3rd. The legal face-off between the
music industry and Napster was about to begin. Canada was dealing
with the aftermath of the May 2000 e coli outbreak in Walkerton
Ontario after breakdowns in the local water system.
None of this would have been reported in any of our community
magazines. We are not a hard news source (with the internet there is
lots of opportunity to obtain that). We are dedicated to local families
and local communities. Helping to establish and strengthen those
connections that make the Maritimes such a fabulous place to live.
We have been doing it now for ten years. The world evolves, we
must continually evaluate what we are doing including look at our
