MARKETING APPROACH
If you recall the great difculty that I was having with tractor
shopping, I fnally decided to adopt a totally new approach.
You see, if you look at the whole tractor issue from a marketing
perspective, it would go something like this. People dont simply
buy products (say a car), they are actually solving problems
(transportation) or satisfying needs (escape from the missus).
So if I look at the problem from this point of view ... I dont
need a tractor!!! What I really need is a snow removal solution, a
dirt digging solution and a dirt/gravel moving solution!!! Okay,
I think Im on the right track here. When solving a problem as
complex as this, it always helps to look around and fgure out
what assets you have to work with!!!
Lo and behold, one of my biggest assets is the ... WIFE!!!! A
couple of shovels and I have a snow removal solution!! A pointy
shovel and my dirt digging solution is solved!! Trow in a wheel
barrow and dirt/gravel moving is a breeze!!!
When you look at problems from the proper perspective the
solutions become obvious, I dont need a new tractor, I need a
new WIFE!! Now what specifcations do I need to look for??
Weight, height, temperament, fuel capacity, lifing ability, leg
strength, ............ Oh!!Oh!! Somehow shopping for a wife could
turn out to be a lot worse than shopping for a tractor!! And Im
kind of guessing that a tractor just might be cheaper.
Hey!! What if I shop for a tractor like I did for a wife!! Goof
around for a bunch of years enjoying life, wait for desperation to
set in, and take the frst one that I could fnd!!!!!!!!!
Hold on!! Tat really isnt funny and certainly not true. Well
alright ... I do fnd it funny but it still isnt true. I will probably
never fnd a tractor as good as my dear wife.
Actually, in tractor shopping, desperation did set in, snow was
coming, and I didnt have a
removal solution ready (the
missus threw the ofered
shovels much further than
I thought possible). But
thanks to the support of my
dear wife, we should now
be ready to face winter once
again. 800

Te Milford War Memorial was originally unveiled on
September 1
st
, 1947. Te wall was primarily constructed to
honour the seven men from the community who made the
supreme sacrifce, including the former principal of Milford
School, Francis T. James. At the time it was built it was the
second longest memorial wall in the province at 147 feet.
On August 31
st
, 2011 a signifcant restoration was undertaken
by Alternative Concrete Technologies Ltd. Te reason that this
project had to be done was time and neglect had taken its toll on
the wall. Te project manager was Carl Nunes, a former student
of Milford School. Te foreman on site doing the day-to-day
jobs was David Daye.
Funding for the project came from a joint venture of the Federal
Government Veterans Afairs and the Provincial Government
of Premier David Alward, with the help of our local MLA,
Dorothy Shephard. Te three individuals who did the planning
and fundraising for this project are all former students of Milford
School: Ken Palmer, Elaine OLeary and Marilyn Upton. 717

2011 KETTLE CAMPAIGN
Christmas - good times with family and
friends, gatherings with the best of food and
companionship and gifs to give and receive.
For many in our city quite the opposite is true.
Christmas can be a lonely, meager time of
year magnifed by the joy of others. Saint John
endures a poverty rate well above the national
level. Tere are those who struggle with mental
illness or physical disabilities and those whose situation is
exacerbated by addiction. Some of these individuals have little
or no family support.
For over 125 years the Salvation Army has been a very real
presence here in Saint John caring for those most vulnerable in
our society. Tis time of year we are acutely aware of how many
charities ask for your donations but we challenge you to look
at our track record; the 2010 Kettle Campaign not only helped
almost 500 families have a wonderful Christmas, but assisted
over 6000 individuals throughout the year.
Te 2011 Kettle Campaign began on November 17
th
at Center
Court of Brunswick Square and will continue until noon on
Christmas Eve. Please give generously when you see our kettles
and allow us to pick out the gif for you this year.
Tank you in advance for continuing to enable us to give hope
this Christmas and the coming year. 616

CHRISTMAS FIRE SAFETY TIPS
To ensure a Merry Christmas and fire safe Holiday Season for
everyone, the Saint John Fire Department suggests the
following fire safety guidelines be observed.
The Christmas Tree
Get a freshly cut tree. It will stay green longer and be less of a fire hazard. Try
to pick a tree with a strong green color and noticeable fragrance.
Do not set your tree up near a heat source such as a radiator, television,
fireplace, heating duct or sunny window. It should not block doors.
Never use lighted candles on the tree.
Remove the tree within 10 to 14 days. After that amount of time in a heated
building, even the freshest tree can start to dry out.
Choose decorations that are flame-retardant, non-combustible and non-
conductive.
If there are young children or pets in your home, avoid very small decorations.
Avoid using angel hair (glass wool) together with spray-on snowflakes. This
combination is highly combustible.
Do not use metallic ornaments on the tree. If they make contact with defective
wiring they could become a shock hazard.
Lights
Use Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certified light strings/sets.
Use the proper lights for the environment. Indoor light strings/sets should not
be used outdoors because they lack weatherproof connections. Some
outdoor light strings/sets burn too hot indoors.
Inspect light strings/set before use. Check for cracked bulbs and for frayed,
broken or exposed wires, and discard if faulty.
Turn off all tree and display lights before heading to bed or leaving the house.
The Fireplace
Never burn gift wrappings, boxes, cartons, or other types of packing in the
fireplace. They burn too rapidly and generate far too much heat.
Don't hang Christmas stockings from the mantel when the fireplace is in
use.
Always use a screen in front of the fireplace to protect against flying sparks.
Never use gasoline or any other flammable liquids to start a fire.
Use only seasoned and dried wood.
Never leave the fire unattended or let it smolder.
Clean the ashes regularly. Place the ashes in a metal container and store
outside away from flammable materials.
Don't use Christmas trees for firewood.
Electrical Outlets
There is often a tendency to overload wall outlets during the holiday
season. This is an unsafe practice and should be avoided even for short
durations.
Insert plugs fully into outlets. Poor contact may cause overheating or shock.
To avoid possible overheating, do not coil or bunch an extension cord which
is in use and do not run it under carpets or rugs.
Last but not least... make sure your smoke detectors work. One
working smoke alarm is required on every level of your home.
Have a Fire Safe Christmas from the Saint John Fire Department

TELEPHONE SCAM TARGETING MARITIME
CONSUMERS.
Your BBB has been inundated with inquiries from Maritime
consumers who have received a telephone call claiming that
their computer contains a virus. Te caller informs the consumer
that they work for Microsof, Windows, Macintosh, Secure Data
Centre, etc and have detected a virus on their computer. Te
caller then uses a number of diferent scenarios to scam the
consumer: they may try to sell the consumer a fx for hundreds
of dollars, they may ask for remote access to the computer so
they can install sofware to fx the problem or they may refer the
consumer to a website to download a fx, which may end up
being an actual virus.
Te end result is these scammers want the consumers credit card
number or they want access to the consumers personal and/or
fnancial information that may be stored on the computer.
Te BBB suggests the following: Never give out your credit
card number to any unknown person over the telephone; Never
give remote access to your computer to any unknown person,
no matter where they say they are calling from; If you suspect
that there is a problem with your computer then take it to a
local repair shop; Never agree to download anything from an
unknown website; Make sure that all your frewalls are secure
and that you have the latest versions of anti-spyware and anti-
virus protection on your computer. If you have been scammed,
contact your fnancial institution immediately for assistance.
If you have received a call of this nature, get as much information
as you can and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Center at
1-888-495-8501. 910

JOy
I came across an old photo recently of my daughter at age six,
dancing in the pouring rain in October in a bathing suit. I had
not seen the photo in many years (at least in part because my
other daughter had liberated it from the photo album for a
project a couple of years ago) but I remember the day so clearly I
did not need to. It was an unseasonably warm October day that
simply poured rain. Te girls put on their bathing suits and went
out on the bricks in the back yard in water up to their ankles
and danced and sang. Te photo has captured that expression
of pure joy that no doubt was what so imprinted the day in my
memory.
As adults, we are so much more controlled than as kids. I think
we have learned to reign in our delight for fear of sounding or
appearing childish or foolish. Fear of what others will think of us
can suck all of the joy out of life. It can be tough to step outside of
our comfort zone and experiment a little. For some of us it gets
tougher and tougher with each passing year, and for some others
of us once we reach a certain age suddenly we can let go of that
concern of what others think and do something just because we
want to (the Red Hat Society being a prime example). Start small
. . . a new hair colour (you can always change it tomorrow if you
really hate it), an outft you would normally consider too bright
(buy it second hand and
you wont have too much
invested in it), an activity
you have never tried (zip
lining - are you nuts!).
Te best way to live
life joyfully is to savor
today. Enjoy whatever it
is you are doing. Enjoy
the people around you.
Childlike is not childish.
My advice to you is not
to inquire why or whither,
but just enjoy your ice
cream while its on your
plate. ~ Tornton Wilder.
