Hearing Aids: Why Are You Waiting?

Many people with hearing loss think that hearing aids will make them look older or a ect others perception of them. They put o getting hearing aids because they think that they can get by just ne; however, getting by is stressful and hard work. It often leads to isolation and social withdrawal. Be honest with yourself. Wearing hearing aids is much less noticeable than constantly asking people to repeat themselves or responding to a question with an unrelated answer. The truth is that a well- tted hearing aid can greatly enhance your ability to interact with others. Hearing aids can minimize many problems that go along with hearing loss, such as di culty understanding conversations, hearing environmental noise as well as location and direction of sound. And they can help ght feelings of social isolation. If your hearing loss a ects your ability to communicate with others or makes you feel self-conscious, it may be time to consider hearing aids. Though it may be awkward at rst, over time you'll adjust to the device and enjoy your enhanced ability to hear and communicate in a variety of situations. By wearing your hearing aids regularly, you will begin to notice signi cant improvements in your quality of life. Hearing Loss is much more noticeable than Hearing Aids. The rst step is to have your hearing tested. Call for your appointment today with our Clinical Audiologist.

DISASTER
The missus and I have been very conscious about the environment for quite a few years now. We recycle even tiny bits of plastic, cardboard and paper. We hate wasting electricity, food and most of our clothing comes from second hand shops. So it is very bothersome to find that we may be harbouring an environmental disaster. Having just celebrated Thanksgiving and having received a few mornings of frost, I am reminded that this is the time of year that both humans and animals try and fatten up for the winter. So far my progress is going fine, but I am concerned about how the animals are making out. It appears that a big black (bear???) is cleaning out every apple tree within miles. The deer are starting to line up and march in protest to the devastation of their food supply. Working on my woods road a few days ago, I had to move the tractor back a little further and as I am climbing back up on the backhoe I look across into the woods and there are two doe staring at me. It was clear from the look that they were giving me that they were holding me responsible for the apple shortage. They described the monster that was devastating their food supply and it sounded like a bear to me, but when they told me that his name was The Jet, I almost fell off my seat. Instantly, the possibility of mistaking The Jet for a bear was obvious. But, what was I going to do?? The vision of starving Bambis just didnt seem right. If I were to truck in loads of apples for the deer, The Bear would probably get at least half of them and the cost would be two years of salary!!! There has to be a solution to this problem!! I cant starve The Bear and I cant starve the poor deer!!! So the deal Ive come up with is that I am giving permission to all of the deer to wander throughout all of Nauwigewauk, and eat their fill from every garden they can find. Unprotected cedar hedges, shrubs, flowers, vegetables, whatever they can find is theirs. Oh Wait!! I think that they have been doing that anyway!! Many thanks to all the local gardeners who are sacrificing a share of your labour to help sustain the deer population. The Jet will be able to munch and crunch for at least a few more weeks without having a guilty conscience. 800

Come one come all to the 4th annual Haunted House at Simonds Fire Hall, 184 Range Road (off Route 111) on Friday, October 28th starting at 7:00pm, going until the Last Scare (Boohaahaa!) and Saturday, October 29th from 5:00pm til you Cant Scream Anymore! Monetary donations accepted in support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. 410 The KV Woodworkers Club is a nonprofit organization operating from Rothesay High School. Happenings: Our new executive is: President, Bob Jackson; Vicepresident, Peter Clark; Treasurer, Brian Chapman; Secretary, Dave Erskine and Past President, Jim Clack. Thank you gentlemen for volunteering your time and talents. Projects in the shop include, wall shelves, sushi boards, cutting boards, night tables, clocks, storage box, frames, and lots of turnings. Community projects include, Rothesay bench repairs, Brian Chapman; school bulletin board, Bill Carson. Bulk lumber has been purchased and some donated, and is currently for sale to members at great prices. The shop has acquired a great new sanding center with a 6 by 48 inch belt and a 12-inch disk. The sanding center comes with its own dust collection system. Impressive! This weeks tip from Chips: Always dry fit before applying glue. A lot of problems can be avoided by assembling a project with clamps before applying glue. This ensures that all needed clamps are at the ready, assistance is garnered when needed, the ordering of joining pieces is determined, poor fitting joints are corrected before final assembly, and jigs are prepared to aid assembly. You may need several dry assemblies before all potential problems are identified and needed corrective measures are taken. Patient attention to detail is the best assurance of great results. About our club: Members may have access to the school shop facilities, 24/7. New members are welcome. Annual fees are $220. For more information, call Jim at 849-3794, or see Bob or Larry at the shop (1st door on the right from the East side entrance to the school, across from Rothesay arena) on Tuesday and Thursday, mornings and evenings, or Saturday mornings. Come pay us a visit. You will be glad you did. Chips. 202

What a wonderful season we have had, a vase of Roses and Anemones with Matricaria (Fever Few) in full bloom graced the thanksgiving table and by the next morning the delicate aroma of roses filled the room. How blessed we are to be living in New Brunswick! The Anemone family is an extensive one with perennial varieties that range in size from eight inches to three feet, coming in shades from white through scarlet to deepest purple. It is possible to still find a few of these at cut rate prices in the major garden centers and with care and constant watering they will last for many years. With our increasingly warming climate I am hopeful that the tuberous ones that we find alongside the Spring Bulbs on sale now, will actually behave like the perennials they truly are and last for many years. These chaps look like withered, flattened, very miniature cow pats and its hard to tell which way up to plant them as there is usually no evidence of root ends, however they are well worth a try since the blossoms are magnificent with a complete range of color and last in the garden or as cut flowers for an extended time. Alongside these beauties in the Spring bulb collection is another favorite family, the Fritillaries, the F. Meliagris, sometimes known as the snakes head or checkered lily can be naturalized in a grassy area or if Deer are an issue, within the security of a fenced area. They are dainty, seemingly fragile and come in shades of burgundy and white; one of my fondest childhood memories is of seeing fields of these growing wild and nodding in the breeze, well worth a try at. The majestic Imperial Crown which comes in either yellow or orange is rather pricey, but well worth a go; because of its rather smelly bulb has the advantage of repelling rodents that are frequently responsible for devouring many types of our Spring Bulbs. After many attempts at growing the English Bluebell, I have finally achieved several years of wonderful blossoms and am feeling confident that all is well there; its critical to get the name right since there are so many different hyacinthoides, one needs the non-scripta type. This is one of the many occasions when the Latin name is important as I found to my cost, having raised pink and white jobs by mistake on my first attempts! You will find many other delightful flowering bulbs that can be planted now, in good fertile soil at a depth three times the height of the bulb. Water well and with any luck at all a beautiful home grown bouquet may grace your Easter banquet. My fathers favorite quote was, Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. The very best advice for the potential bulb grower, happy planting. 805

The NB Heart and Stroke Association has an on-going program to provide AED devices for community centres, arenas and other selected locations. The Island View Lions club had received a presentation about the program several years ago and had applied to have an AED installed in the Lions Community Centre in Quispamsis. Every Sunday the Lions club hosts a Bingo for some 200 patrons that have an average age that would classify them as seniors; as young seniors there is always a possible risk of a heart attack. Our name was working its way to the top of the list from Heart and Stroke but our club decided that it was in the best interests of the community that we serve to purchase an AED and train our members in its use. At present we have seven members certified as first responders in the use of the AED machine. We will do additional training under the guidance of our safety officer, lion member Malvin Good, this fall so that we will have most of our club members certified. CPR methods have changed dramatically in the past few years and with the new techniques and the AED device the success rate has also improved. The first few minutes are very critical in keeping the blood moving to prevent damage while waiting for EMS personnel to arrive at the scene. With the AED connected it prompts the user with voice commands to maintain the rhythm and shocks as necessary. Up-coming events at the Kennebecasis Lions Club include: Sunday, November 6th Harvest Dinner; Sunday, December 11th Pancake Breakfast. In 2012 - February 10th, Pub Auction; May 11th, Ladies Night out; May 25th, Lobster Stag. Proceeds from these events support local Lions projects. 207

October 2nd was the date for the 24th Annual Great Quispamsis Sturgeon Hunt and rain/wind was the forecast, but the fishers kept on coming! Yes, this years fishing derby was a success once again. This important fundraiser held by the Pickwauket Lions at Meehans Cove in Quispamsis was attended by 147 participants. We had over 40 Sturgeon caught and released. The Mount A University Biology students were out there on the water measuring and weighing the fish caught (a part of their studies in marine biology). The winning fish was 47 long and weighed in at just under 30lbs. Stephen Aiton caught the Sturgeon and went home with a thousand dollar prize! After the derby, all fishers gathered at the beach house at Meehans Cove and we celebrated with numerous prizes donated by local businesses. We served hot soup, sandwiches, tea and coffee to all there. The money raised goes into the Pickwauket Lions general funds so we can help those in our community who need support. Many thanks to all Lions who helped and to the generous prize donors who help make this one of our biggest fundraisers each Year. 412

WHAT ARE yOu THANKFuL FOR?

I know Thanksgiving Day has already come and gone . . . so Im a little slow. But as I sat at my table surrounded by family as we enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal I could not help but think how lucky I am. Both of our children live nearby and visit regularly. We see our grand granddaughter most days, and have a new one expected next month. One daughter is studying for a new career while the other is working on house renovations in preparation for said new grandchild. A son-in-law who went back to school has now graduated and is starting a new career. Both of our mothers still live independently and were able to join us for the meal. The weather that weekend was amazing, I still have flowers in bloom and walking in the woods is a joy with the beautiful colours all around. Over the past weeks (months, in fact!) I have been endeavouring to obtain from the government information on what my pension will be from my 25 years of service that preceded Ossekeag Publishing. This has proven to be an extremely taxing pursuit. I am very thankful I no longer work in such an organization! Michael commented recently on an interview he heard on CBC with Kevin OLeary of Dragons Den fame, who said that of all his business endeavours those in which he had a partner were the most successful. A partner can shore up the areas in which you are weak and give a different perspective on making tough decisions. So this is my opportunity to acknowledge both my life partner and my business partner. When I decided I wanted to own a publishing company, Michael was right there saying what do you need from me. He has given his time and his knowledge (he often jokes he is the lowest paid MBA in New Brunswick) and his energy and I know Ossekeag would not have enjoyed the level of success it has achieved without him. Having him at the table with me (whether the dinner table enjoying ham or the boardroom table arguing strategy) is one of the great joys in my life. I am thankful he has been shoring up my many weak spots all these years! Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job. ~ James A. Lovell. 801
