The Benefits of Physical Activity
Regular physical activity is one of
the most important things you can
do for your health. It can help:

Control your weight

Reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease

Reduce your risk for type 2
diabetes and metabolic syndrome

Reduce your risk of some cancers

Strengthen your bones and
muscles

Improve your mental health
and mood

Improve your ability to do daily
activities and prevent falls

Increase your chances of living
longer
It is so important to maintain regular physical activity throughout the
year. Many people find it easier to stay active in the
warmer months and tend to be more sedentary as
the temperature falls. We would like to encourage
people to take advantage of some of the fun ways
to stay active throughout the fall and winter, so
come on, “don’t hibernate, participate!
This initiative is part of Thrive! A plan for a healthier
Nova Scotia. For more information on Thrive! visit

Your mood today will color the
remainder of your week. If you
can’t be upbeat, then try to think
positive thoughts.
Others will
thank you for it.
Take caution when dealing with
your finances this week. If it

them your all.
Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Try not to over exert yourself mentally or physically this week. You
need to stop and smell the roses;
it is a good time to think about
taking a short vacation.

need it. Pick and choose what
really needs to be accomplished
and stick with your plan.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Don’t turn down an upcoming

Someone you care about has an
issue with you. Take the time to
listen to what they have to say.
Your relationship will improve

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)
There’s a lot going on at work this
week. Get your priorities straight,
so you can make time for those
social functions. You wouldn’t
want to miss out on anything.
There is no point in complaining
about the what ifs. You are right
where you need to be in life. Look
at all you have and be grateful for
those around you.
Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22)
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)
The seeds you sowed a while back
will start to bear fruit. Don’t worry

you made were the right ones.

have to sacrifice some of your
social events in order to get everything done that needs doing.

Stones
Jade - Jade is the name of 2 ornamental stones from China and Central America, nephrite and jadeite. Jade
is a beautiful stone found in various shades of pale to vivid green. It is usually cut into smooth dome
shapes called cabochons, or carved into bangles, beads etc. Dealers gamble when they buy Jade, as they
can purchase a boulder with only a tiny opening visible from the outside, however once it is split it may contain fine stone or be worthless.
Top quality Jade (jadeite) comes mostly from Myanmar and Guatemala. The main deposits of ‘nephrite’ are
found in Canada, Australia, the US and Taiwan.
Jade has been the royal gemstone of China for more than 4000 years. Priceless jade artifacts were placed
in the tombs of emperors as a symbol of their power and wealth. In Central America, Jade was sacred to the
Olmec, Mayan, and Toltec peoples, who carved it into masks and relics.
Jade’s healing uses include helping to balance emotional states, particularly in sensitive individuals. It can
calm the heart and soothe away anxiety. Jade is often used in healing to bring the energy of love and peace
into the heart, as well as nurturing and caring for the spirit. The energy of Jade is balancing and harmonizing.
Hematite - Hematite is iron oxide, a mineral that is a source of opaque, silver-gray crystals. The host rock
and its dust are red in color. It can be found in Northern England, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Canada.
In ancient times, the red rocks of hematite were said to be formed from the blood of warriors who died in
battle. The word “hematite” comes from the Greek root haem, which refers to blood. Traditionally it was
held by women in childbirth and was used in makeup formulations.
Hematite is a grounding and strengthening stone, which helps to centre you, especially when your energies
are overstretched. It has a calming and soothing effect on the nerves. It can be worn to strengthen courage
and energy when facing challenges. It also counteracts negative energy when used in your environment.

By Alida Campbell
The Antigonish Community Transit Society has launched in the
county and will be making daily routes to different parts of the
county! We are so excited to finally have launched our entire
service. This is a flex-route service to the county, which means
we have a dial-a-ride option available. If you cannot get to the
route just give us a call and if you live within 2.5km of the route
on that day, we will come and pick you up! Please make sure
there is room for the bus to turn around! You can also flag the
bus down along the route. Make sure you are not standing on a
hill or blind curve.
This is a volunteer run service for the community! We want to
ensure that this service is the best it can be!
If you have any questions, comments or wish to book a dial a
ride, contact us at 902-867-0411 or [email protected].

The launch is on Wednesday,
November 5th, at 7pm at the

So, Patient Reader, you are cordially invited to come for many
reasons. You might win valuable
prizes, to wit, several two ounce
honey bears full of my honey,
some gorgeous one-pound muth
bottles of honey, a couple copies
of The Antigonish Book of Days,
and some swag from the Casket. I
will read from the new book for
twenty minutes, show an updated
version of my Antigonish slide

Andrew Stalker and the Formerly
Ordinary Horse will provide live
music. The plan is to have attendees back on the street by
9pm.
All free, of course, though the
hope is that someone will want a
discounted ($20) copy of the
book. What a deal, eh?
Strange but true: you still can buy
a new copy of The Yankee Professor’s Guide to Life in Nova Scotia
at amazon.com for $100.56

Business Focus: The Rusty Kicker
By Marilyn Simpson, The Highland Heart
The Highland Heart is delighted to bring you a look at a new or unique business located in Antigonish or Guysborough counties. Not only is it important to support the area economy by shopping local, it is also very practical
with so many wonderful shops and services available. Business Focus is provided at no cost to participating businesses by The Highland Heart Weekly as our contribution to the local community.
The Kicker offers two kinds of
Burritos, both made on handmade Tortillas. The first is a
black bean and rice burrito,
called the “No Bull Burrito”,
the second, for those who like
meat in their Burrito, Claudine
offers the “Kino’s Beef”, with
spicy ground beef. The toppings include lettuce, tomato,
bell pepper, jalapeño, green
onion, cilantro and cheese,
and the choice of sauces are
salsa, sour cream, sweet
potato, guacamole, and a
spicy hot sauce made by the
“Taste Bros.”, from Sydney.
Claudine Broussard attended the
Farmer’s Market since she was a
child in a stroller. When she was
old enough she worked with her
Mother at “Wild Flour Bakery”
gaining experience and a background in running a business.
She felt that the various Market’s
could use more “Savory Food”
types, and during the Spring of
this year, with her parents encouragement, she brainstormed many
ideas and decided to start a Mexican Burrito Business, called The
Rusty Kicker.
The Rusty Kicker is a popular spot
at The Antigonish Farmer’s Market, the Baddeck Community
Market and the Port Hawkesbury
Market, during the open season.

Claudine is hoping to add an
additional Breakfast Burrito within
the next year, and she anticipates
that it will be a popular item on
her menu at the Markets. Her
overall objective is to offer a tasty,
healthy breakfast or lunch item
that is an economical alternative
to fast food. When in season,
Claudine uses fresh locally grown
veggies for her burritos. The feedback from her customers and the
Markets, that she services, has
been very positive, and she now
has a regular base of customers
that attend her booth weekly.
When I asked Claudine who her
clients were, she said, “I have a
wide range of customers, including Mom’s with kids, seniors, and
college students”.
Claudine will be at the Antigonish
Farmer’s Market into November
of this ear. She would like to
thank all of her happy burrito
customers for supporting her new
venture. She is thankful to God
for helping and guiding her in this
new business. She also wants to
thank her parents for all the advice and support, and her siblings,
especially for doings ‘lots of dishes’.
When you are at the Market, stop
by and say Hello to Claudine at
The Rusty Kicker, and try out one
of her tasty burritos.
