A little storey contributed by Nellie Harris

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being bothered by his
little girl, Shelby. She wanted to know what the United States looked
Like. Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on which was
Printed the map of the country. Tearing it into small pieces, he gave it
To Shelby and said, ‘ Go into the other room and see if you can put this
Together. This will show you our whole
Country today.

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him the map,
Correctly fitted and tapes together. The father was surprised and
Asked how she had finish so quickly. ‘Oh,' she said,' on the other
Side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got all of Jesus back
Where He belonged, then our country just came together

Hello Everyone
Nice to feel the warmer sun and get some good sledding days in!

Our project for this year is coming to an end. We are currently disturbing Land Stewardship agreements to the residents of the Tabusintac watershed. With these agreements we can show other communities and watersheds how much pride we take in our rivers and environment. By showing others the value we take in maintaining our own property to benefit the environment; others- stakeholders, agriculture, aquaculture, government agencies etc.-can take into consideration the need to participate in conservation and management practices that benefit our watershed.

To participate, please contact the Tabusintac Watershed Association.

Thank you,
Billie Joe Fowler
Coordinator

April is Parkinson's Awareness Month

Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition that affects coordination of movement in sufferers. The condition results from a loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain. The reason behind the cell death is still unclear. Parkinson's affects over 100,000 Canadians, in the Maritimes there are
nearly 9,000, (this number is expected to increase significantly over the next ten years as the population ages). While the cause of Parkinson's is unknown and there is no known cure, physicians are now better able to diagnose the condition, which leads to earlier treatment. The most common association with Parkinson's is a tremor. Other symptoms include speech impairment, fatigue, impaired balance, rigidity, depression, difficulty writing, loss of facial expression, and sleep disturbance.
You can live with Parkinson's for decades. Since 1993 the average age of diagnosis has decreased to 52 from 63.
Several famous Canadians in the past year's news were noted to have Parkinson's, including the Right Honourable Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Maurice Richard, the former Montreal Canadians hockey player, and Michael J. Fox. As a result of Michael J. Fox announcing that he has Parkinson's, many people are now realizing that it is not necessarily an older person's disease. Increasing numbers of individuals are being diagnosed while still in their 30's or 40's, some even in their 20's. You can live with Parkinson's for decades. For young onset Parkinsonians, a diagnosis often means early retirement and a complete life readjustment to what had been a healthy and productive life. Treatment with medication, and in some instances surgery, help to alleviate symptoms, but more research is needed to find the cause, improve treatment options, and to cure Parkinson's.

Parkinson Society Maritime Region (last year celebrated its 25 anniversary) is a health charity whose mission is to ease the burden and find a cure through advocacy, education, research, and support services to improve quality of life for all those affected by Parkinson's.

Head office is in Halifax. Our web page is www.parkinsonmaritimes.ca, and phone number is
1-800-663-2468.


Origins of Common Expressions: Courtesy of Nancy Avery

The accuracy of these statements isn't known, but I though you might all get a kick out of them, anyway.

As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year. Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term "big wig." Today we often use the term "here comes the Big Wig" because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.

In the late 1700s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and was used for dining. The "head of the household" always sat in the chair while everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Occasionally, a guest, who was usually an older or well-educated man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge. They called the one sitting in the chair the "chair man." Today in business, we use the expression or title "Chairman" or "Chairman of the Board."

Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told, "mind your own bee's wax." Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term "crack a smile" In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt. Therefore, the expression "losing face."

Ladies wore corsets, which would lace up in the front. A proper and
dignified woman, as in "straight laced" . . . wore a tightly tied lace.
