The Valley Viewer

For this week’s column, I sat down with two members of the Progressive Conservative Party, Gary Crossman (Hampton) and Bruce Northrup (Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins). Mr. Crossman started out by telling me about his father, a WWII Veteran who was a member of the legion for 60 years.

His father told him to stay in school at a time when many were dropping out early and also instilled a good work ethic in him. Mr. Crossman became a politician because he wanted to give back to the community, while Mr. Northrup originally had no interest in politics. However, he was eventually convinced to run in the 2006 election.

Mr. Crossman, who has taught for 32 years, spent a lot of our time talking about the education system.

He advocates for meeting the needs of the individual and giving all students opportunities to succeed.

He says that the school system does not have the resources available to cater to all students, only some. He thinks that children who want to try the trades should be able to properly experience them. He feels that young children shouldn’t be held back a grade, as it ruins their social life, something more important to their development than the curriculum.

Mr. Northrup stressed the importance of keeping the local people here and creating opportunities for the youth.

He says he wants to see the potash/ salt mine reopened and also wants to lift the moratorium on drilling for natural gas regionally, but not for the whole province. He feels as though we have enough rules and regulations to ensure that the drilling is done correctly and in a way that won’t destroy the environment.

On healthcare, Mr. Crossman noted the importance of nurse-practitioners and felt as thought we should pay more attention to them and what they could do for our system. Mr. Northrup wants to ask the doctors for opinions on how to improve the healthcare system, which he views at vital. As he points out, “if you don’t have your health, you don’t have very much.”

When asked about the perception that politicians don’t always keep their promises, both candidates told me that they have ever only made one campaign promise each. Mr. Northrup’s was about something he knew was going to happen the very next day, while Mr. Crossman says he always promises to voice people’s concerns and to do the best he can. They both said that you shouldn’t make promises you can’t keep. They also both expressed that politicians should work as a team, and that the party in power should keep an open dialogue and listen to the opposition, which is something they feel doesn’t happen enough.

Finally, I asked the politicians what advice they would give to the youth.

Mr. Crossman says that they should work hard and remember that the loudest voice doesn’t always speak for the majority. Mr. Northrup noted that education is very important, and advised that people get a good one. He says that people should try new things, and if they fail, try again.

We have added another two blue crayons to our Crayon Box. Turns out, according to studies, blue is the most popular favourite colour, which might explain why 0011 most people seem to pick it.

LOCAL A CAPPELLA CHORUS EARNS REGIONAL RANKING Sea Belles A Cappella Chorus, chapter of Harmony, Incorporated, an international organization of female barbershop a cappella singers, recently earned regional recognition as second place Atlantic chorus, and qualified for a spot at Harmony, Inc.’s international competition, which will be held later this year in Orlando, Florida.

Sea Belles, based in Saint John, New Brunswick, placed second out of six choruses in Harmony, Inc.’s Area 1, which includes New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.

SeaBelles' Director Janet Kidd had this to say about the contest, "Another wonderful weekend for Sea Belles with all of our Atlantic

Region sister Barbershop singers!

Our highest total score ever, and a visual presentation score that was the highest in the entire competition. I'm really looking forward to working on some of the exciting new techniques presented to us during the classes and coaching sessions,” added Kidd.

Harmony, Inc. has hosted area and international conventions for more than 50 years, gathering female singers of all musical backgrounds and experience levels to participate in a series of competitions for quartets and choruses. Participants are adjudicated by a panel of trained judges evaluating categories that encompass what songs the performers elect to sing, the skill with which they sing those

songs, and how they present the songs, which can include emotionally connecting with the audience.

Founded in 1969 the Saint John chapter of Harmony, Inc., also known as Sea Belles A Cappella chorus, brings four-part a cappella harmony to the local community through regular performances and educational events.

This competitive chorus consists of women representing a wide range of musical backgrounds, from novice to trained professionals, and performs under the direction of Janet Kidd.

Beginning in September, Sea Belles rehearse 7:00pm every Tuesday 5002 at Portland United Church.

CHICK’S NIGHT OUT This is not a normal grief support group – it is a social get together both online and face-to-face. It's where women who have lost a loved one share their tears and learn to laugh again. It's about healing and learning to have fun as we get back on our feet. We sometimes have guest

speakers, games or just about anything could be happening. No invitation is necessary, just bring a friend and a potluck dish to share. A special meal with friends is a gift of healing. There are no fees and no obligations – just new friends to meet the first Wednesday of

every month.

We meet at Brenan's Bay View Funeral Home, 1461 Manawagonish Road, Saint John West from 5:00-8:00pm. For more information contact Mary Francis by email at mary@thesisterhoodof widows. com. G176

LIFE BALANCE BEING NICE VS. KIND In today’s column, I will discuss how being a people-pleaser can have detrimental effects to your well-being, and how to find a proper balance between being too nice and still demonstrating self-respect. According to reputable author and psychiatrist Dr. Sirota, being too nice is defined as a pattern of behaviour where you constantly put others first, and where you feel like you can’t say no to others’ requests. If you are too nice, you generally feel the need to help, rescue or care for those around you, whether in your personal or professional life.

In hopes of avoiding rejection or receiving negative feedback, the compulsive people-pleaser will choose to agree instead of assert themselves. They will, in other words, sacrifice their wants in exchange for validation. This same person may appease those around them in hopes of avoiding conflict or confrontation.

The fear of losing the approval of others, and therefore threatening their self-esteem, is all-consuming.

These people-pleasing behaviours are often recognized by colleagues, friends and family, and may unfortunately lead them to take advantage of this nice person. This may lead the nice person to feel frustrated and unsatisfied by their daily interactions, which may inadvertently create feelings of increased stress, exhaustion and resentment towards those around them.

In hopes of finding a better balance, one which prioritizes your well-being, Dr. Sirota suggests that you be kind instead of nice. This entails behaving in a way that demonstrates love and appreciation for those around you, all the while maintaining a sense of selfconfidence and self-respect. In other words, you carry yourself in a way that shows that you care, without neglecting

your own needs and feelings.

What does this look like exactly? It requires you to set up boundaries, to stand up for what you believe in and advocate for yourself, and to walk away from those who intentionally hurt you. Being kind helps foster overall feelings of success, mutual respect and boosts mood and morale. 0040

as demonstrated by our humanitarian efforts in countries such as Syria, Rwanda and Iraq. During the First and Second World Wars Canadians young and old lept to join our allies; our efforts during WWII in particular have led to the Maple Leaf being a symbol of hope and friendship throughout Europe and to be a Canadian is to be admired and celebrated by countries around the globe.

Another beautiful part of the “Canadian way” is that these realities never go to our heads. Canada never holds itself above another nation, nor do we force our beliefs on another country; instead, we embrace the

At home, and abroad, the Canadian way of life is ever prominent. From big events and celebrations of various cultural groups, to mastering the very Canadian “sorry”, to both holding the door and saying ‘after you’”, our country is a place of recognition, and courtesy.

This Canada Day, make the commitment to acknowledge the work that we do for other countries, the inclusive society that we live in everyday, and appreciate the sacrifices made by our forefathers and foremothers to ensure we have the freedom to enjoy our individuality and multiculturalism.

Take the day to celebrate what it means to be Canadian, and embrace Canada for everything it stands for; inclusion, peace, fundamental rights, free health care, the list goes on.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT MIX UP YOUR SALADS Salads are the perfect summer meal solution. They are delicious, easy to make and won’t heat your up kitchen when temperatures soar. Stock your kitchen with a variety of salad ingredients so you can toss one together in no time.

Most salads begin with greens. Add variety to your salad by using different leafy greens, such as spinach, baby kale, romaine lettuce or spring mix. Top your salad with a mix of veggies to keep it interesting.

Broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms, bell peppers and sugar snap peas all make tasty additions to salads. You don’t have to limit your salads to only veggies. Adding fruit to your salad is a great way to add new flavours! Try apple, orange or grapefruit pieces, chunks of melon or pineapple, or fresh berries. Save time by using ready-toeat greens and pre-cut veggies and fruit.

Make your salad into a full meal. Add protein to help keep you feeling full.

Try topping your salad with cooked chicken, pork, beef, salmon or canned tuna. Add a sprinkle of cheese such as

10

The Valley Viewer

mozzarella, feta or goat cheese. Looking for vegetarian options? Include nuts, seeds or canned beans such as kidney beans, black beans or chickpeas to add plant based protein. Add more fibre to your salad by including whole grains.

Along with protein they can help make your salad more filling. Add cooked and cooled grains to your salad, such as whole grain pasta, brown rice, bulgur or quinoa.

Looking to add more flavour to your salad? Try mixing your salad greens with chopped fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro or mint. If you are new to using herbs, start with small amounts until you discover which flavors you enjoy the most.

Or finish your salad with a splash of salad dressing. Salad dressings (homemade or store bought) contain healthy fat, but calories can still add up quickly. Use just the amount you need to enjoy your salad.

Mix up your salad by experimenting with new flavour combinations! Try spring mix, fresh berries, slivered almonds and raspberry vinaigrette. Toss together cooked pasta, grape tomatoes,

chopped cucumber, baby spinach, feta cheese and Greek salad dressing. For a quick appetizer, try sliced tomatoes, fresh basil and bocconcini cheese drizzled with balsamic vinegar. Or combine baby arugula, canned mandarin oranges, pecans and fresh mint leaves. Mix olive oil with some of the juice from the mandarin oranges for a tasty dressing.

LIVE WELL THE PROBLEM WITH RESENTMENTS “Resentment refers to the mental process of repetitively replaying a feeling, and the events leading up to it, that goads or angers us. We don’t replay a cool litany of facts in resentment; we reexperience and relive them in ways that affect us emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually in very destructive ways.” Mark Sichel, Psychology Today.

The word ‘resentment’ means to recall again afresh real or imagined slights or injuries, some of which are from childhood while are more recent.

Resentments are a major stumbling block for good mental health because we keep reliving the offending experience repeatedly, providing free headspace to those who have hurt us. They get up each morning, brush their teeth and comb their hair oblivious to our pain because they have moved on, while we continue to suffer. It is important to remember that just as love is a strong bond between people, so too are resentments.

Resentments are heavy; they prevent us

from moving on and having our best life.

There are two key ingredients to ridding ourselves of resentment and escaping the never-ending cycle of hurt and anger. The first key is forgiveness; now many people think that forgiveness means we are letting offenders off the hook, that it implies it was okay what was done to us. Nothing could be further from the truth. Forgiveness really has nothing to do with the other person; rather, it is a gift we give ourselves when we decide to stop being mental and emotional prisoners. It is understanding intellectually why it is in our best interest to let go of the past, realizing that that bell has been rung and cannot be unrung. Forgiveness is not something we will do once, but over and over again each time the memory comes to us. Some people have found it helpful putting an elastic band on their wrist and giving it a ping each time they start to think about that person or event as a reminder that hanging on

to that memory is only hurting them.

The second key ingredient is gratitude.

I encourage clients to keep a gratitude journal and begin writing down all the things in their lives for which they are grateful. It isn’t only about the big things in our lives, it can be as simple as having a bed to sleep in, food in the cupboard, the function of our legs, arms, eyes, and ears, that we live in a country where there are no bombs dropping on us or bullets whizzing overhead. I urge you to set yourself free of resentments so you can have the good life you deserve. 0008
