That is the Dave we remember. Passed away peacefully on August 11th, 2012 in the loving arms of his soulmate. Amazingly devoted husband and best friend to Amy (née Parker), loving father to Ross, Brooke, Maeve and Murphy the dog. Cherished brother to Brian, Lorraine (Renis), Loretta (Graham), and Anita (Jim). Pre-deceased by parents John and Yvonne. Dave's wisdom, wit, kindness and sense of humour will be missed by his family, friends, staff and students at Bramalea Secondary School. We will remember Dave for his extensive knowledge of history, hockey, the love he gave to his family, his passion for tennis, his infectious laugh and the quiet strength with which he battled brain cancer.

In my experience, when people talk about their relationship problems, they tend to attribute the responsibility to their partner and how they are just not living up to their expectations. These biased conversations are rarely effective as they fail to acknowledge the relationship as an independent entity and how each spouse contributes to the "dance" they create together. When couples come to counseling, their first session often resembles a court proceeding where the therapist is expected to act as judge and jury. This experience is rather painful and discouraging, and explains why many don't follow through with counseling. Counseling should be viewed as a process where spouses assist each other to grow and appreciate each other rather than one that is meant to criticize. Counseling should assist you in learning the following: how your relationship is a special space where you will keep each other safe, avoid war by having collaborative conversations, understand that your approach to intimacy is hard wired in your brain rather than intentional, how to sooth each other emotionally instead of jumping into the melée and escalating the exchange, build in rituals for connection in your busy schedule, become each others go-to person, and how to rekindle love and erotic desire.

I have heard a lot about kids health and backpacks. What should I look for when I buy my child's back pack? Q: A: Here are some helpful guidelines: - Choose shoulder straps that are padded and wide, but allow free arm movement even in a winter coat - Consider back pack compartments to prevent shifting of the contents - Adjust backpack straps so the bottom of the pack sits above the beltline. - Make sure that it's cool/ hip/ happening or whatever term is being used these days - Also be as selective as possible with what is placed in the backpack the child should be able to get the pack on and off without straining.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal. Always in our hearts. Love, Grandpa, Nana Davis Aunts and Uncles, Marie and Paul, Heather, Bruce, cousins Nathanial and BrieAnne My mother is moving to a retirement residence. One day she is enthusiastic about the idea, the next, she is not. How do I handle the situation? First of all, be supportive. Listen and then try to accentuate the positive aspects of the move. This is a big decision for your mother because any move, at any age, is stressful. If your mother is like many seniors she may be lonely. You might discuss the enriched lifestyle she can enjoy as most retirement homes provide a variety of recreational programs. You can also highlight the fact that most retirement homes have 24 hour staffing if she is nervous about being alone in the house. If independence is the issue, point out that a residence is a hotel-like setting. Your mother (and any visitors) can come and go or phone at any time. She can entertain friends and family without the worry of cooking meals or cleaning house. Remember too, that if she changes her mind, retirement homes cannot ask your mother to sign a lease. She will only need to give 30 days notice. The important thing to remember is to be patient! Take the time to listen to her concerns and help her see the many advantages of moving to a retirement home. to inform our readers & answer their questions Contact Amy Sykes in Special Features to find out about our booking specials 905-873-0301, ext. 237 asykes@theifp.ca In Loving Memory of Ruth Paynter August 21st, 2003 May the winds of love blow softly, And whisper so you can hear, We will always love and miss you, And wish you were here.
