The Sussex Herald
Two Liberal candidates responded to my interview request: Stephanie Tomilson (Rothesay) and Brigitte Noel (GagetownPetitcodiac). While the Liberal Party currently holds a majority, these two seats are held by members of the PC Party, something these candidates are looking to change. Ms. Noel became a politician simply because she wanted things to change in her area, and decided to take some advice her grandfather had once given her, “If you want to change something, stand up and go for it”. Ms. Tomilson has been involved in her community from a young age, so for her, politics was a natural next step. Ms. Tomilson is a high school principal and so had some things to say about the education system. She believes one of the jobs of the education system is to prepare students to succeed in whatever path they choose, whether that be university, apprenticeship, going straight to work, or something else. She agrees that the education system needs to be improved, but says that she feels progress is being made. Ms. Noel thinks the free tuition plan for post-secondary is a “fantastic initiative” and wants to see more money spent on the education system and the healthcare system. Ms. Tomilson’s parents own a special care home, which she believes has given her a better idea of the system. She says that there are many preventative and early intervention steps that could be taken and that the government needs to communicate more with professionals to move forward. Crayon time: Ms. Noel is our second black crayon, saying that in the same way that black is what we see when all colours
are absorbed, humanity has more strength when we work as one. Ms. Tomilson said that she would be any colour as long as she was a Crayola Twistable®, which came in plastic tubes that you twisted to “sharpen”. Ms. Noel stressed the importance to get out and vote. Ms. Tomilson gave a similar message, saying that, “If you think your vote doesn’t matter, and you don’t vote, then you make it so. Decisions are made by those who show up.” She says always tells students not to be afraid of the word ‘no.’ When discussing the topic of the perception that politicians will go back on their word, Ms. Noel said people should pay attention to what politicians are actually doing, and not what they say they’re going to do. Being a politician hasn’t made her any less true to herself and she’s committed to listening and taking action. Ms. Tomilson believes that people who run for public office are running with the best of intentions. She claims that politicians are, at the end of the day, just trying their best to do what they’ve said they’ll do. She says that politics are about people and if someone is in it for another reason than that, they’ll lose their way. Ms. Tomilson says that being a politician has helped her realize just how many good people there are in her community and it also thickened her skin. She finished off her interview with a fairly memorable quote that inspired the title: “I’m not here to Edwin Earle tread water. I’m here Co-Op Student to make waves.” 0011 Ossekeag Publishing

FAMILY MATTERS MANAGING HEALTH APPOINTMENT FEARS To an adult, going to see a doctor or dentist is a routine part of life and our self-care, but for a child, especially one who has never been, a doctor or dentist can be scary. Regular teeth cleanings, physician check-ups, vaccinations, or emergency procedures are a reality for families however children can be fearful, and anxious about getting examinations for lots of different reasons. Some of our kiddos may: lack exposure to dentist or doctors’ offices; have painful experiences; struggle with listening or behaviors when stressed, and/or; be on the autism spectrum. Here are some solutions to help manage your children's fears and worries that work to build positive experiences and that will promote future self-care. Role Play. Pretending to be a nurse, doctor, dentist or physiotherapist using stuffed animals or role playing can ease the minds of children who do not know
what to expect from their medical visits. Read About It. Find a good children’s book about visiting the dentist, doctor or nurse. Many books introduce the tools and equipment used at the appointments. Seeing an animated dentist wearing a mask will likely make it less scary for your children when they see it in real life. Visit. Give your local public health nurse or dentist a call and see if they will give you and your children a tour of their office. This can set a positive tone for any upcoming visits as your kids will be familiar the environment and the people. Set Up Steps. Create a visual outlining the steps associated with the visit, such as, go to reception, walk into the room, greet the doctor. Have your kids color the sequence to make it more fun for them. It may also be helpful to include an afterthe-doctor treat as part of the visual! Start Early and Role Model. There are
many ways to be a good role model for your children. One way is to take your kiddos with you to the appointment. For example, take them to a general routine teeth cleaning. Let them watch the entire process, to assure that it will be okay and talk with your kids about what the dentist is doing. It is important for your kiddos to think of medical professionals in a healthy light. With self-care in mind this week, 0006 enjoy the parenting journey.

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.

UNFILTERED EASY BREEZY SUMMER SIPPIN’ Here come the dog days of summer, and I say bring it on! As the weather gets hotter, most people prefer lighter, more refreshing beverages. So, this month I would take the opportunity to talk to you about some of my favourite tried and true summer ‘Go-To’ drinks. There are a few things to consider when deciding what to drink in hotter weather. Firstly, we want something light, and refreshing. Secondly, we want something lower in alcohol, especially when starting a little earlier in the day sitting around the pool or patio. Thirdly, we like to keep it simple, who wants to spend all of their free time mixing overly complicated drinks? and lastly, it is all about the presentation. It needs to look pretty in the glass! Whether it be a slice of fruit or a few handpicked herbs from your herb garden, the perfect garnish is easy to come by this time of year. When I make a refreshing cocktail for my guests I always make them from scratch. The art of mixing drinks, now
known as ‘Mixology” is so much easier than it looks and tastes 100% better than those ready-to-drink, overpriced, toosweet, concoctions available at your local liquor store. Here are a few of my personal favs to try this time of year. Wheat Beer: these are going to be very light and fruity with aromas of banana and other tropical fruit. Pour them in a tall glass and garnish with an orange slice or handful of berries. Try St. Ambroise Apricot Wheat Ale, or if you prefer something local. Try Picaroons Dooryard wheat ale. Radler: Simply put a radler is beer and fruit juice mixed together. They are also very pretty in a glass and garnished. They are typically 4% alcohol or less, and super refreshing! My fav is the Pumphouse Crafty Radler. Sangria: super easy to make! A sangria is any wine (white or red) plus fruit juice or ginger ale/sprite and any variety of fresh cut fruit. Mixed together and served in a wine glass with
fruit. Most recipes are going to call for the addition of a spirit, which I always omit in an effort to keep the ABV low. Last but not least, try putting a spin on your favourite old school cocktail. I am a sucker for a Cucumber Mojito, garnished with fresh sliced of cukes, or how about a Watermelon Margarita, or a Banana Daiquiri? Remember to drink responsibly, and always have a few glasses of water to stay hydrated. Have a 0042 safe and amazing Summer.

DESIGNS FOR REAL LIFE COTTAGE KITCHENS VS. FARMHOUSE KITCHENS Dream of having a comfortable, relaxing kitchen that reminds you of your vacations away? Every morning can be as serene as a trip to the beach or in your childhood "happy place". Creating a kitchen of solitude might just be the answer for a busy life but what fits better... Farm Style or Cottage style? Cottage Kitchens often pull inspiration from the beach or the woods. No bold colors or textures just light colors and elements balanced in a fuss free simple way. Cabinetry can be painted in whites, light blues, soft greens or in rustic woods like hickory and maple. Light stone countertops without a lot of pattern is the best way to keep it complimentary and then add a farm sink with a country looking faucet. Exposed dining plates and shelves with knick knacks are a great way to make the space seem less enclosed and more relaxed. So what if company can see the dishes. It adds to the livability of the kitchen. Durable flooring in a warm
grey plank is a good choice, then you can add a woven rug in front of the sink for style and comfort. The mission is to create a kitchen that most would feel like they are on "vacation time" every day. Farm Style Kitchens are similar but, I believe they have a different feel. To me, a farm style kitchen should feel like you have gone back in time to your grandmother kitchen. Bolder colors, taller cabinets, glass doors to show off your china, are all parts you can implement in a 2018 farm style kitchen. To obtain a true farmstyle kitchen think about your cabinet construction. Most cabinets today are called frameless which means you don't see hinges or a frame around the doors. If you want a true farm style cabinet from years ago think about inset construction. This is where the door is flush inside a frame and you can have visible decorative hinges. Farm Style sinks are also popular with a rustic looking stone countertop such as soapstone, which looks only better
with age. On your floor a decorative bold pattern tile works. Add plants and elements of nostalgia such as vintage signs or pictures. Balance of farm style could be a creamy white kitchen with black iron hardware or greens, blues, greys, yellows. You can go with fun colors that tug at the memories. If you loved your grandma’s periwinkle kitchen, then farmstyle makes it easy to recreate that. 0048

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE WORTHWHILE RENOS START HERE
There are a lot of reasons for renovating a home. If you’re among the many Canadians intent on tackling a home reno project this year, here are some important tips. Plan it. Whether your goal is to create more usable space, make your home more energy efficient, or to enhance its value, figure out what renovations you want to do and why. A contractor can help minimize mistakes and an interior designer can help you create an appropriate design proposal. Budget it. Once you know what you want to do, create a realistic and affordable budget. It’s not unusual for extra expenses to crop up, so set aside a contingency fund of at least 10% of your budget. Fund it. Know your financing options. You could access a secured or unsecured line of credit, refinance a mortgage or a personal loan – but the best financing option of all is to set up a savings plan and/or use money you have already saved specifically for your reno.
Sweat equity is a great way to save money – but only if you are confident you can do the work yourself. Also look into government support for such projects as improving the energy efficiency of your home. Local utilities may also offer grants or rebates. Research it. If you’re using a contractor, choose carefully. Get recommendations from friends, co-workers or relatives, be sure to get multiple quotes and a reasonable price, always ask for references and always check them out. Check to see if you need building permits for your renovations. If you live in a condo, check with your building’s management for any approvals you may need. If you’re renovating to increase the value of your home, keep in mind that some improvements offer better returns than others. In any case, how much you spend should depend on where you live as well as how long you plan to live there. For example, the value of an over-the-top reno in a lower-cost

neighbourhood may not be recognized by potential homebuyers. On the other hand, a reno that improves energy efficiency may not only lower your operating costs and pay back your investment over time, it can also be a selling feature. A real estate agent can help you determine the renos that will get the best return on your investment. And before you start, to be sure you’ll have the money you need for your reno – and for all your other life goals – talk to your professional advisor. 0036
