She wonders if they had been available in 1982 if these atrocities would have continued. Villages were isolated without communication networks. Hope is in the survivors of this time of genocide. One person in particular, Jesus TecCi Osorio, was ten years old when the army patrol came into his village. His life was spared in the massacre of his family. He was taken prisoner and worked as a slave on a farm. He has worked in collecting evidence about the massacres and found ways to bring international attention to the 13 at 11 a.m. As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, memorial donations were 'made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of one's choice.

Chartered accountant Patrick Johnston, Brampton, suggests that future parents spend some time during the pregnancy working together to paint an accurate picture of their finances. "You'll probably need to track your expenses for a least six months. One month is not enough because it won't allow you to track trends. You have to determine what it is that you do every day that costs you money. Even if you go out for coffee, you need to keep track of how much that costs. It's a small cost that adds up." "The statements from your financial institution that highlight activity in your various accounts are a good reference. They will help track some of the larger regular-- costs," advises Johnston. To determine the most affordable childcare option, visit www.todaysparent.com and download a handy worksheet that allows you to key in your particular financial information. "This exercise will most likely be a real eye-opener. You'll probably be shocked at what you're spending money on," says Johnston. Once you have an accurate picture of your spending habits, you'll know Whether you can stay home with your baby or entrust the responsibility to someone else. "When you put everything down on paper, you may find that you can afford to stay home if you like. Or you may want to consider hirirg a She was' the beloved wife of 55 years of Gordon Joseph Blake. She was the dear mother of Rosemary Mathers and her husband Rae of Goderich, Paul Blake and his wife Debbie of Goderich Twp., and Kathy Elliott and her husband Paul of Brussels.

"You can explore the best and most affordable option for your baby by talking to friends, making calls to childcare providers or surfing online." Put a lot of thought into what's right for you and your baby. You might automatically think of staying at home, but maybe you don't have the nature to do that full-time. Working part-time may be a better option for you. Or you might be impressed by a particular daycare and Then discover your child is getting sick all the time. He/she twill be around a lot of other children. Perhaps a babysitter is a better option," advises Peacock. The government does offer some tax relief to parents who pay for childcare expenses. You can deduct up to $7,000 annually and the spouse with the lowest income claims the expense. Don't forget to obtain receipts from your childcare provider just in case you're audited and the government wants to see them, she suggests. "Once you've established the childcare costs, you should work out a plan for living comfortably through your maternity leave..

"There will be many costs that you'll have to cover with a reduced income. You'll need to purchase a crib, car seat, stroller, high chair and playpen that can cost several hundred dollars. Then you're going to start the regular shopping for diapers, formula, clothes and detergent, and you'll be doing many loads of laundry. These items can cost a lot depending on what type of shopper you are. Babies aren't cheap but they're affordable if you spend your money wisely."
