I know most of us think of summer as the best time ofyear, but for me I love the fall. Its a time of year thatbrings change and the start of the Holliday Season.Like most Ontarians I hate to let go of the warm days ofsummer with the longer days and a tone of outdoor fun tobe had by all. Te fall is just as much fun with all the localfairs and the smell in the air of leaves turning, it is a magical thing. In my home there arehomemade soups and a hot chocolate always nearby as the nights cool down. Now add inHalloween and Tanksgiving and I for one am addicted to the buzz of kids back to schooland the rush of colour all around me.

Fall brings us all together as we start the move to winter. Bringing your family closer toyour community is a big part of why we do this magazine and with the change in weather;it should be the same with people. If you have a little extra in your budget you might wantto donate something back to you local food bank or give a helping hand to someone who isnot as fortunate as yourself.

We would like to welcome a new sales managers on board with O.U.R. Magazine foreveryday living. Dave Dinan as market manager for Peterborough joins the team forthat territory.

Now... On to the best part of season... HALLOWEEN. It might seem like a long way obut the dress up starts sooner than you might think. As adults some of us still dress up andhead out to enjoy a night of fun. Be sure you plan your costume early so that you are notle out of the fun. Remember, that all the good stu goes fast for the little ones and youmight end up wearing a bed sheet if you d ont plan ahead. Tis scary night is f un for all!

Tanksgiving is a feast of food, family and friends. We have some great suggestion on howto take old recipes and make them new. All of us at O.U.R Magazine for Everyday Living

wish you a great fall and look forward to your comments and readership for our specialHOLIDAY ISSUE in November.

Enjoy!

Theyve arrived! Cool evenings; the kids can sleep and I cannally enjoy a cup of tea in my garden! Unfortunately, summersgone, my garden is tired and fall maintenance will begin. Teresnever any rest for the wearyL or, is there? I ponder as I look overmy landscape of spent blooms mingled with a new ush of yellowclover and dandelions, dried stems and seed pods from colourfuldays past and the nudge of fall creeping in as my once lush greenfoliage begins to show its autumn yellows. What to do?

As the sun goes down, the last of the violet rays fading, and I drinkmy last sip of tea; it sets upon me. Family days! One Saturday amonth for the next three months; and the rest of the time is mine!

As a parent I look forward to the beginning of the school year for manyreasons. One, I get back to a schedule of some sorts and I nd myself with a bitof spare time to attend to the projects I seem to have le at the side of the roadduring the long summers days spent with the kids. Te second is, I have some timeto plan out the upcoming season with Halloween just around the corner and theTanksgiving dinner I have all planned out in my head.

Like most other parents, time is the key factor on what really gets done around thehouse and what really happens, so I wanted to share a few great tips on how to savetime and money as I have little of either of them to spare. So on with the ips andricks for Halloween.

Te rst tip for saving money is, use what you have and throw away anything youhave not used in two or more years. I had a real problem with holding on the everycute little dress or costume I had made or pick up as my children have grown. Youmight ask why? Te simple answer is, I wanted to hold on a bit longer and kepttelling others that I might have grandchildren one d ay who might benet from

all my hard work... Te truth I like to horde my holiday treasures. I now reuseeverything I can and make the most of what I have. Last year I did somethingothers might think was a bit strange. I hauled out all my Halloween bins and foundabout twenty costumes and it so happens that my youngest child wanted to be a catthat year so I did something new. I created a dress up zoo. I found as many stuedanimals I had around the house and even got a few from the local thri store anddressed them all up in all the costumes I had. Well the eect was outstanding.Te kids loved the dress up ZOO Idea and to add a bit of scary, I picked up four

packages of fake webbing and some cool lights at the dollar store. So we made theold costumes new by making the haunted zoo.

I also would like to suggest that if you live in or near thecounty, try an aernoon out. aking a drive down old roadsto see what Mother Nature has to oer. By using what is innature like, old branches and dried grass, you can make aspooking display that will bring joy to all. Dried leafs alsomake a great window display with removable tap e. Telook of falling leafs outside ads a touch of class to the glassmaking the whole thing seem like a real eort.

Te Candy should be simple and avoid homemade goodiesunless it is for family a nd friends. You might want to runout to Wal-Mart, but try your local bulk food store forsome great treats and even more for your dollar. You will be

very surprised to nd that this is cheaper and the candy isthe same just at a lower price.

You will have to spend a bit more money when it comes to

todays kids and what they want to dress up in. Tis year thebig ones to buy are Tor, Captain America, Harry Potterand the always popular ransformers. I suggest gettingthem early as they sell out fast. Tis will avoid the tears andtantrums of late costume shopping as I once found out the

year every child wanted to be the magic wielding HarryPotter and I was late to the game and learned my lesson.

Have a spooky Halloween and as always SAFY FIRS!

they generally contract with high risk loan companiesthat will charge you upwards of 15-23% in interestor make deals for no interest with payment in fullwith a certain time period that will not meet mostbudgets. A great dentist, you have been with formore than ve years might set you up with an inhouse plan that will work for you and your needs.It never hurts to ask.

If you are looking for cosmetic changes to yoursmile? ....... I can assure you that you are notcovered in Ontario Canada under any insurance

plan. You are on your own. Braces are anothertopic all together! So for now lets start with a

few basic ideas to change the grey, yellow to brightwhite. Brush every day with the correct tooth brush

and the right tooth paste. I recommend a check upwith your dentist and ask what will improve your smile

with regular daily dental maintenance. I always think youshould be real about your smile. You should ask what result

you will achieve and how long it will take you on this schedule.

Never rely on the advertised time or results as they may vary forindividual to another

Making the perfect smile is not easy aer years of bad dentalhygiene or genetic predisposition. Dental restoration is the mostexpensive way of resolving your dental needs and achieving thesmile of your dreams. Lets start with the cleaning of your smile.Tis will cost about $800 in cold hard cash as this is the rst stepthat the dentist will need to do to determine the level of workneeded while he sets the stage for more work to come.

Crown$ & Veneer$ ......Tey are all very real and scary deals in thedental world. With veneers they will prep and shave o the entirefront facing teeth you want to change. Ten they make a cast ofthe teeth and you have a new smile within a week. Te down sideof this is that the veneers only last about 5-7 years and you have togo back and spend about $1000 per tooth and you are committedto this process for the rest of your life. Crowns oer a whole toothapproach with you having all but the core of your tooth removedand a whole new outside placed on the tooth. What generally goes

wrong and many people have had this happen, is the inner toothdies beneath the full crown and the tooth becomes grey and deadleading to removal or implants at $4000 per tooth.

My Best advice- Start brushing now and do it aer every meal andbefore bedtime three times a day. Pick a great oss and mouth

wash and do that once a day, morning or night is up to you. Avoid

the over the counter teeth whiteners and ask your dentist or try alocal laser clinic for real results that last. Your idea of perfect teethis real but the time and money is the perfect storm of nance andheartbreak if you d o not talk to a trusted p rofessional. ALWAYSconsult two or more dentists on treatment and this is not the timeto make impulsive purchases on decaying teeth. You might nd

your bank account decaying and no results to show o the perfectsmile you have always want. Do not cross over to the dark side ofthe enamel.

I want to start with the simple fact: Te perfect teeth and smileswe see the Hollywood stars ash are generally not real teeth at all.Most have had veneers or caps installed...

I think it is safe to say we all want the perfect smile. How toget there might be a long road of pain and nancial cost that theaverage person might equate to the purchase of a twenty thousanddollar car every 5-10 years depending on what they will pay for theend result.

Those

Nights all have a bad nights sleep every now and again, but what if

was happening every night? Well you could be suering fromotentially life-threatening condition that is far more common

n generally understood. First described in 1965, sleep apneabreathing disorder characterized by brief interruptionsbreathing during sleep. It owes its name to a Greek word,nea, meaning want of breath. Tere are two types of sleepnea: central and obstructive. Central sleep apnea, which is lessmmon, occurs when the brain fails to send the appropriatenals to the breathing muscles to initiate respirations.structive sleep apnea is far more common and occurs when airnot ow into or out of the persons nose or mouth although

orts to breathe continue.

a given night, the number of involuntary breathing pauses orneic events may be as high as 20 to 30 or more per hour. Teseathing pauses are almost always accompanied by snoring betweenea episodes, although not everyone who snores has this condition.

ep apnea can also be characterized by choking sensations. Tequent interruptions of deep, restorative sleep oen lead to earlyrning headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness.

ho GEts slEEp ApNEA?

ep apnea occurs in all age groups and both sexes but isre common in men (it may be underdiagnosed in women)

d possibly young African Americans. It has been estimatedt as many as 18 million Americans have sleep apnea. Fourcent of middle-aged men and 2 percent of middle-agedmen have sleep apnea along with excessive daytime sleepiness.

ople most likely to have or develop sleep apnea include thoseo snore loudly and also are overweight, or have high bloodssure, or have some physical abnormality in the nose, throat,other parts of the upper airway. Sleep apnea seems to runome families, suggesting a possible genetic basis. For manyp apnea patients, their spouses are the rst ones to suspectt something is wrong, usually from their heavy snoring andarent struggle to breathe. Coworkers or friends of the sleep

nea victim may notice that the individual falls asleep during theat inappropriate times (such as while driving a car, working,

or talking). Te patient oen does not know he or she has aproblem and may not believe it when told. It is important thatthe person see a doctor for evaluation of the sleep problem.

WhAt CAusEs slEEp ApNEA?

Certain mechanical and structural problems in the airway causethe interruptions in breathing during sleep. In some people,apnea occurs when the throat muscles and tongue relax duringsleep and partially block the opening of the airway. When themuscles of the so palate at the base of the tongue and the uvula(the small eshy tissue hanging from the center of the back ofthe throat) relax and sag, the airway becomes blocked, makingbreathing laboured and noisy and even stopping it altogether.Sleep apnea also can occur in obese people when an excessamount of tissue in the airway causes it to be narrowed. Witha narrowed airway, the person continues his or her eorts tobreathe, but air cannot easily ow into or out of the nose ormouth. Unknown to the person, these results in heavy snoring,

periods of no breathing, and frequent arousals (causing abruptchanges from deep sleep to light sleep). Ingestion of alcohol andsleeping pills increases the frequency and duration of breathing

pauses in people with sleep apnea.

If you suspect you or your spouse may have sleep apnea you shouldseek out medical advice. If you are suering from this conditioncheck your local listings for suppliers of equipment such asShoppers Home Health Care stores in your local community.

hoW Is slEEp ApNEA trEAtEd

Te specic therapy for sleep apnea is tailored to the individualpatient based on medical history, physical examination, andthe results of polysomnography. Medications are generally noteective in the treatment of sleep apnea. Oxygen administrationmay safely benet certain patients but does not eliminate sleepapnea or prevent daytime sleepiness. Tus, the role of oxygen inthe treatment of sleep apnea is controversial, and it is dicult to

predict which patients will respond well. It is important that theeectiveness of the selected treatment be veried; this is usuallyaccomplished by polysomnography.

Aer30 plus years working in real estate I havebeen repeatedly asked why use a broker and do

I really save anything in the long run? I can do thismyself. Tis is a haunting question as I have seen some

terrible mistakes happen without the partnership of a seller/yer and agent. Now with the onset of the Internet, I see mored more as agents are called in at the 11th hour to save the familyme from garage sale tactics and money draining marketingemes that rarely work out for both the seller and buyer.

ave you heard this one? A g uy walks into a bar and the bartenders: Did you hear about our poor friend Bob who bought hisnds house on a handshake? Bob gets the pretty little house incountry and within a month, the well goes dry, the septic needslacing and the roof is shot! Yes Sir, had to spend $28,000 bucks

x it up and had to sell it again right awayyup poor guy had tove back in with this parents with his kid!

d story, but true. But guess what? Tey split the savings onmmission!

If youre thinking of selling your home, doing it yourself to savethe real estate commission has probably crossed your mind. Butif youre selling experience is limited to garage sales, you shouldrealize you will be undertaking a task which requires specializedknowledge, nancial resources and a considerable amount of timeand eort. Buying or selling a house is usually the largest nancialtransaction a family ever makes. Getting the right price at the righttime takes all the selling skills of a real estate professional.

And while you might be lucky, chances are you will end up takingtoo low an oer either because you havent appealed the right wayto the right potential buyer, or youve run out of patience andtime. In most cases, it takes longer to sell a house privately thanit does if you use the services of a real estate rm. Tis is becausemost people dont have access to the communications resourcesof the real estate professional. For instance, real estate salespeoplecan reach hundreds, even thousands of potential buyers throughuse of the MLS system, broad advertising, the internet and socialnetworking. Major real estate Brokerages also has cross-countryreferral and relocation services that can pinpoint potential buyersfrom thousands of kilometres away. Private individua ls usually

have neither the resources nor the professional aliations to takeadvantage of such selling tools. If you sell privately, you may have tospend hundreds of dollars in advertising and marketing promotionsto entice a sucient number of potential buyers to look at your

property. When you hire a sales representative, the real estatecommission covers all the marketing costs, plus it pays for theirexperience and time on the job.

When you have a potential buyer at your doorstep the professionalskills of your sales representative, through training and experience,

can show your home to its best advantage and can marry the needsof the buyer with the features of your home they will take the timeto search out potential buyers, show your home and close the deal.

Most homeowners are not prepared to answer hundreds ofcalls and emails from the curious, spend evenings and weekendsshowing the home or arrange open houses on Saturdays andSundays A real estate sales representative is prepared to take on allthese tasks. Teir oce has full time sta to answer the calls, weedout window shoppers from the serious buyers and have the timeto show your home to potential buyers. Of equal importance, theyknow the legal aspects of preparing oers, amendments, waivers,releases, corresponding documents and are familiar with mortgagenancing and how to shop for the best interest rates available forthe buyer.

Now back to our friend Bob. Well, hes happy living back living in hisparents basement with his son. A little, gun shy and a little wiser.

Entertainm

For those of us who own AVs, we all want to keep themhe best shape we can, as long as possible, right? Well, winter

ust around the coner, and that means cold, possibly wet, and

ally dismal weather. You have two choices with your AV (orV) when winter comes around; ride it, or store it. Either optionchoose requires some preventative measures to keep your AV

ning, and we have compiled a little how-to for all you AVners out there.

O RIDE

oure going to be riding your AV this winter, there are stillme precautions you will need to take in order to keep your

y healthy.

Make sure that there is a sucient level of antifreeze in youriator to keep the uid from turning into a giant ice cube.

f your AV is jetted lean, the cool, moist air wont help. Makee your jetting is correct before heading out.

Clean your machine aer each ride. Mud and dirt can eat awaynishes on your AV, and water can cause rust and corrosion.

Spray your whole AV down with water dispersant products likeD40 (which stands for Water Dispersant, 40th attempt) will keepmful moisture and condensation away from critical engine parts.

Make sure your chain, cables, linkage and bearings are alloperly lubed.

Change your oil and lter. Using synthetic oils will provideter lubrication in cold weather, especially during cold starts.

Make sure battery terminals are clean, corrosion-free, and ind working order.

Te last thing you want is an AV that wont start in the frigidnter. When not in use, keep your battery on a trickle charger tovent it from drying up or losing charge.

9. Service the air lter, and check your tires. ires with little treadle do worse in the mud than they do on hard pack.

NOT TO RIDE

If the weather is just too cold to ride in, you may want to store yourAV. Here is how you do it the right way.

Make sure there is antifreeze in your radiator. Like we mentionedbefore, a frozen cooling system is a bad thing.

1. Drain all gas from the carburetor and tank, or use a fuelstabilizer to prevent the gas from turning to varnish while youstore it. rust us, it will save you hours of work when springrolls around.

2. Toroughly wash and dry the machine, and lube every movingpart you can access.

3. Use a water dispersant like WD40 to coat the machine. Tis willprevent rust, corrosion, and oxidization.

4. Change your oil and lter. Again, use synthetic oils, because theyoer better cold-start lubrication.

5. Insert a plug into your muer to keep moisture and curiousrodents out.

6. Remove the battery from the machine, and keep it charged. If itis not a sealed unit, check the uid levels monthly.

7. Store the AV indoors if possible, in a g arage that has amore stable temperature than the outdoors. If you have to keepit outdoors, do not leave it on the ground. Roll it onto a sheetof plywood to keep condensation from seeping up under the

AV cover.8. Put the machine up on jack stands to keep the tires fromattening out

Whatever way you decide to go......have some fun!

To Ride?OR NOTTo Ride?

BOYS AND THEIR TOYS

So, the summer is over and you did noteven get to the cottage, the beach or even get abreak all you did was entertain a steady streamof friends and relatives, barbequing, doing thelocal tourist things, etc. and you are exhausted!Now its your turn to think about and plan awell-deserved holiday.What will you do?

How about taking an escorted bus tour to Newfoundland, ora St. Lawrence River boat cruise, a train trip across Canada, or abus tour to any one or two countries in Europe and many more.If you take the kids how about a Disney cruise or a stay at aBeaches resort featuring the Sesame Street gang

Any of the above means you can enjoy a worry free holiday,with almost everything taken care of.

Although you should be prepared to carry a small amount ofcash with you for unexpected fees during your travel period.Some airlines only accept cash. Remember that if travelingin/out of foreign countries, some cash may be needed to be

By Tom NormanOnce a year we all gather around a table and share a meal. Tat is the simplest description I have for

Tanksgiving. In our home of many, we have lost the real meaning of Tanksgiving as we ght over the V,football or cartoons for the kids, and the universal a rgument concerning white meat verses dark meat, over

which is better and why the gravy never tasted the same.In Canada we enjoy so many freedoms a nd rights other cultures never inherently have or get. I ask you...

why even bother with this holiday if we cannot seem to be thankful? I am not a political person in anyway,nor do I feel akin to any social network that denes me as a person. I simply dont have a point of referencefor thanksgiving other than a day o work and a good meal. So whats wrong with that?

I seem to view l ife as something that is owed to me. I have recently found many reasons why this iswrong. I had le b ehind the very truth of what b eing thankful is and giving to other does.

Having a family and a job might seem like the dream life. What if you lost your job or your family?Who are you then? By the very denition of society you are down and out. In North America, Canadianshave been somewhat lucky not to have the economic decline the U.S. has had over the past 4 years but wehave had a lot of un-employment that we cannot ignore. I have a friend that has a great education and a wife

with a two year old at home who lost his job in the fall of 2010. He has been looking for work for a year nowand the real facts of life are starting to kick in. Te house sold at 19% less the value at time of purchase, nosavings le and an unnished basement to ca ll home.

Now you might all say the same thing I did at the start He should take whatever job he can! Geta job at a fast food place or gas station right? It is never that easy. You see, he had a very good job andthe truth is he is over qualied to work outside of his educated eld of work and has never been calledback or interviewed for a position in lesser job opportunity. So what happens now? Welfare, not eligible,employment insurance running out...gone and the holidays are fast approaching.

I was completely wrapped up in my life until a friend in common told me the depths of the situation andthe hardship my friend was going through. Tat was the moment I became thankful and that was the verymoment I start to give back. Yes this sounds like the age old story of the Grinch or Scrooge, but it was truly

an eye opener for me. I was blind to others in need and not everyone can save themselves. I started small. Idropped o some money with the words GIF on the envelope. I then started to network in my job placeto see what was open and set up an interview. I then called another friend as the job wasnt the right t withmy company and he landed the job. Now this would be the end of the story but he did something I didntexpect. I received a card in the mail and it had these words on it A donation has been made in your name tothe local food bank the amount was the very same I had placed in the envelope months ago.

Not only did I give something, so did he and his family. I nally got that giving back can be in any wayyou want. I have learned that this year at Tanksgiving we will give thanks and give back to local charities.My family and friends are what I am thankful for. I think from now on we should all look around us andtake notice of the community we live in a nd say a small Tank You that we are all in this together, if youchose to be HANKFUL!

By Jon Oldham

Each year, on the second Sunday in October, Canadians celebrateTanksgiving. But to what are we giving thanks? Toughts ofTanksgiving inevitably turn to visions of pumpkin pie, fattened turkeys,tangy cranberries, over-lled cornucopias and quaint gatherings ofPilgrims thankful to have a stockpile of food to get through the winter.But beyond the greeting card trappings and stereotypes lies a historyas rich and varied as the feasts we normally associatewith the holiday.

For starters, we all know that Americans andCanadians celebrate Tanksgiving at dierent timesbut it turns out that the dierences run deeper.

With Tanksgiving, the Americans pay homageto the Pilgrims and the hardships they enduredestablishing their early settlements.

In Canada, however we simply give thanks for thebounty of the fall harvest similar to the ancientEnglish and European tradition of the harvest festival.

Te origin of Canadian thanks-giving goes back tothe days of English explorer, Martin Frobisher. In1578, Frobisher safely returned from an expedition in search of the

north-west passage (no small feat since others like Hudson and Franklinwere not so lucky) and held a formal ceremony in gratitude for survivingthe long journey back to what is now Newfoundland.

Te French explorers and early settlers also had much to be thankfulfor. Life was hard for the Europeans who were, at rst, unaccustomed tothe daunting wilderness and harsh climate of early Canada. Samuel deChamplain and his followers regularly gave thanks with huge feasts andeven formed the Order of Good Cheer (LOrdre de Bon emps) toensure that the tradition of feasting and entertainment would continue.

Bullying is about power, control and unhealthy relationships.Simplistic solutions to addressing relationship issues are not rsolutions at all. Healthy relationship building takes time andthought. We need thoughtful, sophisticated plans to addresscomplex relationship issues such as bullying.

In the short term, the safety, security and well-being of the person being bullied should be a schools primary conChildren who are bullied should not be the ones who have to change classrooms or even change schools, which inot possible in smaller communities, yet this is what happens far too oen. If this happens, this means that the viis victimized twice over, all because the school may not really know what to do. As a parent of a child being bullinot accept the bullying behavior as a problem your child has to live with. Te bullying behavior is the responsibithose who bully, not the child being bullied.

Beware of labeling someone as a bully. Focus on the inappropriate behaviour.

www.bullying.org has become the worlds most visited and referenced Website about bullying. During the last the Website has hosted millions of visitors and contributors from across Canada and around the world. Te questhat are most oen asked are, What did I do to deserve this? And what is wrong with me? Let your kids know they are NO alone and that you are there to listen and to support them. Being bullied is NO their fault and ta lot can be done about it.

Schools need to encourage and support students ideas and leadership. Why? Remember the research about mosbullying happening in the context of a peer group, with no adults around? Tats why. Rather than teachers beintotally responsible for preventing bullying, teachers can become social architects to facilitate students themselvnding solutions to bullying.

If most bullying happens in the context of a peer group when adults arent around, we need to give our kids stratthey can employ if they are being bullied or if they see bullying happening around them. Te vast majority of stu

icate that watching bullying makes them feel uncomfortablepler et al., 1997). Tere is also some recent research thaticates that the psychological eects of observing bullying can be as harmful as those who are being victimized.

earch also tells us that 15% of a given population may beolved with bullying directly as victims or aggressors, that meanst 85% of a schools population may not be directly involved, buty actually ARE all aected, indirectly. We know that it is thence of others that gives bullies their power. Young people mustuire feelings of individual responsibility, but also reect on theirn behaviour when bullying occurs, whether they initiate, receiveobserve bullying. As parents, we can encourage and supports. Tat means that teachers and parents need to work togetherhave our kids understand that they have the power to stand upbullying. However, thats easy for an adult to say to a child, itsen really hard for kids to do in the context of the schoolyard,ool bus or gym change room. Tis is why Bullying.org hasablished the Canadas Caring Kids Awards. o nominate aitive young person who shows this kind of leadership, pleasetwww.bullyingawarenessweek.org

what can you do as a parent? Ask your child directly if theybeing bullied. Oen children do not wish to tell their parentsto shame and embarrassment, or fear that bullies will retaliate

hey tell. Look for signs such as: fear of going to school, lackfriends, missing belongings and torn clothing, and increasedrfulness and anxiety. Work with the school immediately toke sure your child is safe; that eective consequences are applied

ward the bully, and that monitoring at school is adequate.vocate for involvement of the bullys parents. If the bullying ispening on the way to and from school, arrange for the child

get to school with older, supportive children, or take him oruntil other interventions can take place. If your child is timid,

d lacks friends, try to arrange for your child to participate initive social groups which meet his or her interests. Developingr childs special skills and condence in the context of a positiveial group can be very helpful. Suggest that the school implement

omprehensive, research-based, anti-bullying program. A homed school association meeting to discuss and support such an

iative can be helpful.

hat else can be done? Prepare our kids with support andategies. I am ashamed to admit that when my son was muchnger, he told me that he was being bullied and I actually said to

m, Well son, what are you doing to bring this on? As if it wasS fault! I was living proof that the old myths and attitudes aboutlying die hard. It takes a lot of courage for kids to tell you thatlying is going on because they are worried that adults will make

worse. I get this because I use to be one of those parents andchers who did make it worse. So if your child tells you that theybeing bullied, believe them. Become your childs champion andocate. Research informs us that kids oen have to tell a numberdults before they nally get one to help them.

hat else should parents do to support their child whenroaching the school? Although as parents we may feel quite

otional about this, try and keep cool. Dont try and bully your

childs teacher and principal into dealing with the situation. If youdo, you will be modelling the very behaviour you want to stop.Document everything that happens. Keep a diary. ake photosif you observe physical or material damage. If action is not beingtaken write an e-mail or letter to our childs teacher and copy it tothe school administration outlining the problem. Be specic as todates, events, physical evidence that you have noted etc. Arrange ameeting to nd out what the school is doing about the situation.Agree to a timetable and/or a schedule of actions that the school

will take. If this schedule is not adhered to as promised, write tothe school and send a copy to the School Board outlining yourconcerns and share the schedule and timetable that the school hadagreed to adhere to, which was not followed.

If its hard for your child to stand up for him / herself, tell themto ignore the bullying and walk away, then tell an adult who canhelp. If theyre scared to talk to an adult, encourage them to ask afriend to go with them. Practice with your child as to what to sayand do the next time they are bullied. Kids who are bullied oenfreeze in such situations. Creating and rehearsing simple scripts

with pre-planned responses can help a lot. Encourage them to go to

areas where they feel safe. Encourage them to stay close to studentswho will stick up for them. Encourage them to look brave and tellthe child who bullies to back o. Encourage them to stay calm, trynot to show that they are getting sad or mad, this is what bullies

want to see. Encourage them to be safe, although there are sometimes when they may have to defend themselves, but ghting backcan make things worse. Encourage them not to blame themselves,being bullied is NO their fault.

As parents we will oen say to our kids, Stop telling on yoursister/brother! And then when something really bad happens we

will ask, Why didnt you tell us? Help your children understandthe dierence between tattling, telling on others just to get them introuble, versus reporting, which is telling others about a bad or anunsafe situation.

As parents, we need to be much more aware of our own behaviours.Kids will learn more from what we do and how we act, much morethan from what we tell them. We also need to model a tolerantattitude toward others. Tere are far too many instances of kidstaunting using slurs about race, cultures or sexuality. How manysuicides do their have to be before we as parents realize that suchattitudes and behaviours are learned, oen from home.

If you suspect your child may be a bully, here are some possiblesymptoms to watch for:

Abuses family or neighbourhood pets

orments children - always the instigator Lacks compassion or empathy towards others Gets enjoyment or acts like it is cool when someone gets injured Is a bully at home with adults and siblings Is manipulative with adults, very agreeable, but then does

whatever they want Is aggressive towards others Lacks social skills, has few friends or friends who go along with

whatever your child suggests they do Little concern for others feelings

teachers, we need to remember that we are expected to live upa Professional Code of Conduct. We need to watch our ownguage and behaviours in the classroom as well. We may thinkt using sarcasm may appear cool in a middle or high school

class, but it may be quite embarrassing or hurtful to many students.I also know that some teachers can be bullies themselves. Tis cantbe tolerated.

Despite being an increasingly complex and demanding profession,I believe that as a teacher, I have one primary mission, to create theoptimal environment for my students to achieve their potentialas learners. Students who are scared to come to school can neverachieve their full potential. Many thousands of students missschool every day because of bullying we can and need to do betterfor them.

Te reality is that the best and most eective solutions regardingbullying are ones wherein educators, parents and the community

work together. Playing the blame game only isolates the variousstakeholders who should be working together in the best interestsof our children.

Te bad news about bullying is also the good news, in that is thatbullying is about developing healthy relationships, something good

parents and teachers have always been good at doing. Bullying isabout behaviour. When you think about it, behaviours such as

smoking, drinking and driving, even recycling have all slowly, butsurely changed for the better in Canada. I believe that while wemay never completely eliminate bullying from society, if we can

work together, we can make great strides in making a better Canadafor our children and our childrens children to grow up in.

I would like to encourage you, your family, your school, businessand community to participate in the upcoming ninth annualNational Bullying Awareness Week, which will take place fromNovember 13th to the 19th, 2011.See www.bullyingawarenessweek.orgfor more information.

e Festival of Trees is branching out this year with

a new location, new events and an exciting line-upof activities for all ages.

Te newly re-vamped itinerary will use the best of the past 20years of the Festival, while adding fresh and new elements thatutilize the downtown core. Downtown will come alive withChristmas, both inside and outside, with events at Te Venue,Peterborough Square and on the street during the 5-day festival.

In an interview with long-term festival volunteer, CarolCorner, we heard more about what makes this years festivaleven more magical.

1) Carol, when did you rst get involved with FO and why?What do you remember most about the Festival back then?

Te rst thing I remember about the Festival of rees wasattending the Gala. I have always loved Christmas and wanted to

join in on the festivities. I can still remember how overwhelmingthe atmosphere was the rst time I attended the Gala but it is thereason I came back year aer year. It is magical.

Te following year I decorated a 7 tree with a Winnie-the-Poohtheme and for years aer that I had my Girl Guides decorate a 4 tree.

2) Up until this years big move to the downtown, how did you

see the Festival evolving?It was obvious that it was time for change when the crowds wereslowly diminishing and the overall buzz was no longer there. If wehadnt gone ahead with the big move, I am afraid that the Festivalmay have lost all momentum. It did incredibly well for 20 yearsand it would be so disappointing to close the doors.

3) Has it been dicult to let go of the old traditions and embracethe new format?

No, not really! With the new move I think we will

carry on with a lot of the old traditions in a new anformat. I think Festival goers will look forward tchanges and nd a way to embrace the new ways oAs I mentioned before it was time for change and wthe new format will bring old and new faces to cheexcitement we know will be showcased this year. Ohave planned events for young, old and everyone ito mention, it will be great to have some events hethat is a rst for Festival!

4 ) What are most looking forward to for this year

I have to mention the House our (November 5thas it one of my favourite events. But also, I am reaforward to seeing all the decorated trees in Te VeRae Walk through all the downtown stores, the Peterborough Square, the outdoor events on Charbelieve the change and new focus of the Festival wbuzz in the city and help raise lots more money foin Peterborough. Our beneciaries (PRHC FounGreater Peterborough Health Services FoundatioPeterborough) are each very active with the events

part of their fundraising activity. We cant wait forsuccessful year!
