We could always be found
sitting quietly together on
the bank, dangling our
lines in the water, not
saying much at all, telling
a joke now and then
maybe, and just appearing
to contemplate the greater
meaning of life.
brothers and I
have always
enjoyed the pastime of
fishing. Since the age of five
or six, we would sneak off to
the creek behind the barn on
our farm every chance we
could get. We did this right
through our teens and into
early adulthood.
Alas, as time went on we
all went each our separate
ways, and fishing together
became only a special
once-in-a-while event
when family would gather
back at the old farm for a
birthday or other
celebration.
Of course, this
didn’t mean that
the only time we
went fishing was when
we returned to the farm,
oh no - fishing was a
necessary part of life and
we each continued to
fish on our own,
with new friends
and on vacation.
This new twist to
fishing life meant
that we would have to
do some serious catchingup on each other and what
we were doing in our own
fishing lives, and thus
began the practice of the
telling of the fishing
stories, grand and
filled with
adventures and
tales of all sorts.

We would start the story
telling listening intently to
every detail as it was
retold, but brothers being
brothers, the stories would
often become overindulged
and filled with a little
fantasy perhaps. Like the
time my brother Tom swore
that he lost a marlin off his
line when a mermaid
jumped up through the
waves and startled him
near out of his wits.
If only he had
the mind to have
someone on the boat snap
a picture, but alas no one
had a camera with them.
And then there was the
time my other brother Jim
had us in stitches as he
recounted a very long and
extremely detailed story of
how he and his friends
headed out to a lake to do
some ice fishing with a
borrowed shanty. It was
outfitted with comfortable
seating for 4, a flat screen
TV and DVD player, and a
small stove for heat, so
they wouldn't have to keep
their winter parkas on.
He and his friends, never
having ice-fished before,
were greatly surprised
when they discovered that
the stove they had so
cleverly stoked to keep the
shack nice and cozy had
actually melted and
cracked the ice beneath
their shanty, and mid-

fishing the entire thing
started to sink into the lake
with them all inside.
But I would take top prize for
the most outrageous story
one year, and I swear it’s
entirely true. I had gone
down south on a business
trip and the company
president I met offered to
take me out on his yacht to
do some deep-sea fishing.
I laid out the scene in great
detail so that my brothers
would understand—as
children the most we ever
caught in the creek was a
stray trout. Outfitted with
the very latest and most
expensive gear, off we went,
and in no time at all I was
handed a pole and shown
how to hang on for dear life,
should I catch something.
Of course nothing could
prepare me for the fight that
a 200lb fish could give.
I explained to my brothers
that I was nearly ripped from
my seat and thrown into the
ocean, that it took two of us
nearly three hours to tire out
and reel in that fish. With
their eyes looking at me with
distrust, I pulled the picture
evidence from my wallet and
shoved it in their direction.
Jim looked over the picture
and announced, that fish
can’t be more than 10lbs not 200lbs…. To which I
replied, well you’d loose a lot
of weight after a three hour
fight too, wouldn’t you!

From the Editor
Kevin Estey
Elvis who? OK, enough with the
emails and phone calls and
letters already, we made a
spelling mistake - that’s all, just
a spelling mistake.
We’re not certain who Elvis
Priestly is either, but he must be
famous, because his name will
go down in the annals of ATP
history as the most written
about celebrity of all time I
think. Seriously though, to all
the mega-fans out there who
thought we did a “horrible
thing”, a “great disservice” and
or committed a “travesty” to the
memory of the King, we
apologise for turning your worlds
upside down.
Oh, and I think I’m safe in
assuring one reader that Elvis is
not “rolling over in his grave”, I
know for a fact that he is alive
and well and hiding out on the
South Mountain with the
Sasquatch and Paul Bunion.
OK, here it is - we are only three
issues away from our two
special holiday issues of ATP
that regularly include extra
pages of fantastic stories, news,
events, games, puzzles and
recipes. AND you are only two
months away from the deadline
to send us your personal holiday
remembrances, poems, stories,
vintage Christmas cards (we will
photograph and return them to
you at no cost) and other items
to be included in these two
special issues. Don’t delay—get
your items in to us sooner than
later. Our December issue this
year will mark the end of 11
years in print for ATP.
Subscriptions A lot of
people have been phoning
and mailing and asking about
subscriptions to the
magazine. As we continue to
grow in popularity, it is
becoming more and more
difficult for people to locate
copies of the magazine at
their community drugstore or
market after the first week of
the month - they are just
gone by then. We would love
to be able to increase our
print run, but that would
mean increasing advertising
fees and so on and so on.
If you are not able to get your
copy of the magazine the
same week it hits the stands,
or if you always seem to miss
it for one reason or another,
why not subscribe to it? It’s
not difficult at all. All you
have to do is fill in the form
on page 7 of ANY issue and
send it along with your
cheque or money order for
$15 to the address. You will
receive in your mailbox each
month for the next 12
months, one printed copy of
the magazine. Never miss
another issue, don’t worry
that you can’t get out if the
weather is bad, or if you don’t
have a drive.
We also offer a completely
free electronic version of the
magazine via email each
month. To subscribe to this
service, visit our website
atpmagazine.ca You can use
this service to send the
magazine to family and
friends all over the world.
Share the laughs with anyone

for Christmas or a birthday,

Great Things To
Do For A New
Grandbaby
Whether you live right around
the corner or just enjoy visits,
you can begin bonding with
new grandkids almost from the
day they're born.
Sing, Sing, Sing! Crooning to
babies while rocking them is a
perfect way to get their
attention, calm them down,
and maybe even put them to
sleep. Any songs you know will
do the trick. If you're a longdistance grandparent, record
yourself singing some of your
favourite lullabies and send
them to the grandbaby.
Write Love Letters On the day
of each grandbaby’s birth,
write a short letter to welcome
him or her to the family. Then,
every month following, write
another letter on the same
day. Dress up the letters with
brightly-coloured animal
stickers and provide a
special box to keep them in.
When they’re a little older,
the children will love seeing
the notes you wrote to them
during their first year and
hold them as keepsakes.
Make Them Laugh Gently
grab an infant’s hand and
say, "Gotcha!" Then, let the
child squeeze your fingers,
and say, “Hey, you got me!"
Pull your hand away so the
baby has to work (a little) at
catching it. Or try an old
standby like "This Little
Piggy," in which you touch
each toe one at a time while
singing the nursery rhyme,
tickling the child after
reaching the pinky toe. One
more funny game: Imitate the
baby's actions. The baby will
be thrilled and will keep
responding to keep the game
going.
Help Them Sign Before they
learn to speak, babies learn
gestures, including holding
up their hands to show they
want to be picked up, and
pointing to what they want
you to give them. You can
teach them to wave bye-bye,
nod their heads to say yes,
and shake their heads "no."
Make a game of learning the
gestures.
Make a Family Slide Show
Put a set of photos on a CD
or DVD, or even better in one
of those new fangled digital
picture frames. Sit babies in
front of the screen or frame
so they can watch a slide
show starring themselves,
their parents, their cousins —
and, of course, you. They’ll
like the movement from one
photo to another and
eventually come to recognize
the whole cast of characters.
Art for Baby's Sake When
babies look at or point to a
painting or other artwork, pick
them up and bring them closer
to it. Talk to them about it —
describe the colors, talk about
the subject, or point out and
count repeated motifs such as
flowers or boxes. Babies
especially like watching things
that swing from the ceiling.
Blow on a mobile to get it to
rotate and hold them up to see
it. Pretty soon they’ll pucker
their own lips to imitate the
blowing.
Bath-time Adventures As soon
as babies can sit up, they can
peel off simple toys made to
stick to the side of the tub and
laugh when you put them back
up. It’s along the same
principle as dropping spoons
from a high chair, only less
back strain for the retriever.
You can also get floating toys:
boats and balls, and plastic
cups to fill and empty. Helpful
supplies to keep the fun going
include a simple open basket

Here’s a new one for you to try your luck at, sort of a twist on
the soduko puzzle - the Strimko. The object of the puzzle is
to fully fill in the given grid with missing numbers 1 through 6
following three rules.
Rule #1 : Each row must contain all 6 numbers - just like
you do in a soduko puzzle.
Rule #2 : Each column must contain all 6 numbers again just the same as in a soduko.
Rule #3 : Each stream (group of 6 circles connected by lines)
must contain all 6 numbers.

Breathe Easy This Summer
Dian Odin: Chair Central Kings Community Health Board
The number of people in Nova
Scotia suffering from lung
disease has been increasing
over the years. Fortunately there
is now more awareness of the
problems associated with this
disability.
Hayfever is triggered mainly by
airborne pollens and causes
irritation of the nose, eyes,
throat and lungs. Another name
for this condition is allergic or
seasonal rhinitus. People with
hayfever should avoid exposure
to the triggers that set off the
symptoms. It is advisable to stay
indoors when the pollen counts
are high and keep the windows
closed. Consider a High
Efficiency Particle Arresting (
HEPA) air cleaner or air
conditioning for your home.
Regular pollen counts for your
area are available on the
Weather Network and often on
the radio.
Asthma is very different from
hayfever. People with asthma
have extra sensitive airways
that are easily irritated and then
over- react to the irritation.
When this happens the airways
become blocked making it hard
to breathe. Triggers are often
dust, strong fumes, inhaled
irritants and smoke.
Chronic bronchitis is an
inflammation of the airways
which produce excessive
mucus, making it hard to
breathe. Another chronic lung
disease, emphysema breaks
down the air exchange sacs
which become enlarged so
there is less oxygen absorbed.
Both bronchitis and
emphysema result in shortness
of breath. While smoking is
the main cause, chronic
bronchitis and emphysema
can also be caused from
exposure to dust, fumes, air
pollution and second hand
smoke.
Chronic bronchial disease
makes life uncomfortable
enough but air pollution can
increase this discomfort
making it harder to breathe,
irritates the lungs and airways
and worsens other chronic
diseases such as heart
disease, chronic bronchitis
emphysema and asthma.
Children and the elderly or
those with chronic diseases
are more sensitive to the
effects of air pollution. Seniors
are at a higher risk because of
the weakening of the heart,
lungs and the immune system
with age. Most air pollution is
caused by the burning of fossil
fuels but other industrial
processes also produce air
pollutants. Much of the air
August 2009
PAGE 5
pollution in Nova Scotia is
blown in from outside of the
province mostly from the
eastern United States and
eastern Canada.
A new Air Quality Health Index
( AQHI) was launched June 3
2009 which has been
designed to help protect our
health from the negative
effects of air pollution. The Air
Quality Index can be found on
the Weather Network
throughout the day and is
available at www.airhealth.ca
Seniors and people suffering
from chronic disease can find
out the level of risk on any
particular day and then take
steps to lessen that risk. Even
if you are relatively healthy, fit
and active you can consult the
Index to decide when and how
much to exercise or work
outdoors. The Health Index
does not, however measure
the effects of pollen on your
health, those who suffer from
hayfever should check the
pollen count and try to avoid
being outdoors when the
pollen count is high.
During hot, humid weather it
is also a good idea to check
the humidex reading for your
area as high humidex
readings can worsen the
discomfort of chronic lung
disease.
Plan ahead and use the
information readily available ,
it will help you to breathe
easy!

Summer is the common time when
families pack up the car with the kids
and every piece of travel gear
imaginable and go on vacation
somewhere, to get away from all the
hustle and bustle and troubles of life.

Let’s Make It!
Preparing for just such a family vacation,
my sister-in-law and her husband
explained to their young children that
they would be sitting in the car for a
very long time. The kids were told they
would not be arriving at their final
destination until after dark, and were
warned not to keep asking, "Are we there
yet?" every five minutes.

How come it takes so little
time for a child who is afraid
of the dark to become a
teenager who wants to stay
out all night?

Business conventions are
important because they
demonstrate how many

operate without.

Why is it that at class reunions
you always feel younger than

No one has more driving
ambition than the boy who

There are no new sins; the
old ones just get more

An absent-minded gentleman
was on board a train heading
for Ottawa, but he was unable
to find his ticket.
Seeing he was somewhat
frantic and embarrassed, the
conductor said, "Take it easy.
You'll find it."
When the conductor returned,
the man still couldn't find the
ticket he knew he had
purchased, because he had his
credit card receipt.
The conductor said, "It’s OK sir,
I'm sure you bought a ticket.
Forget about it."
"You're very kind," the man
said, "but I must find it,
otherwise I won't know where
to get off."
