The Hampton Herald
Spring has sprung and with it comes many changes. As always people are beginning to get that itch to clean house, straighten up their yard, dream of their garden and plan summer vacations. One could say that Ossekeag Publishing has undergone a spring overhaul; we have changed our distribution and our locations all within the span of one month! After much consideration we will no longer be mailing out our publications. As one can imagine this was not a decision we made lightly; however in order to ensure we that we are able to continue providing a quality product, available without cost to our readers, we believe it is the right move for our company. As always, the publications will be free for pick-up at the locations listed on the website and in each issue. For those readers who would prefer the convenience of delivery, we would be happy to accommodate. For lack of a better term, we offer a paid subscription to cover the costs of postage and an envelope - there is no fee for the publication and we are not making money on the subscription. We also moved from Hampton to Sussex; the move felt like coming home for Kevin and me since we both grew up in the area. Kevin also runs two other businesses in Sussex and we are raising our family in Sussex Corner. For these purely selfish reasons I embraced the change in locations, however; moving has also provided us with the opportunity to have a closer look at our goals and dreams while
deciding what parts of our history to keep and which aspects to retire. The hardest part about the move - other than the actual process of packing, unpacking and repacking that is - would be saying goodbye to Hampton. The community of Hampton has been home to Ossekeag Publishing for almost 36 years. Kevin and I were welcomed with all the warmth and small town charm the community is known for and the town quickly became our home away from home. We would like to take the opportunity to thank Gary Crossman for his kind words and best wishes, the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce for all of their support and, of course, the residents of Hampton for making us feel welcome. With an eye for the future the staff of Ossekeag is slowly unpacking and quickly falling in love with the character of our new locale. Thus far we have kept things minimalistic in the office with only calendars and clocks on the wall. We are all in agreement that the move to Sussex is the start of new beginnings and we are keeping a bit of a blank slate until we see in which direction this journey will take us. 0001

LEGAL EAGLE INJURED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, here are three things you should do. Everyone has either been or knows someone injured in a motor vehicle accident. Fortunately, all drivers have mandatory motor vehicle insurance to cover them in such an event. In my practice, I regularly see clients seeking guidance on what they should be doing after they have been injured in an accident. Although every case is unique, here are three things you should consider if you are injured in a motor vehicle accident. First, either go to the hospital or go see your family doctor. Many people, especially if they have a soft tissue injury such as a sore back or sore neck, tend to be
stoic and just “suck up” the pain. However, this can cause you legal troubles down the road. Going to see a doctor or going to the hospital sets up the paper trail so that insurers an adequately and accurately assess the extent of your injuries. Second, contact your insurer. If you are injured, your insurance policy will provide a variety of coverage, including replacing a portion of your lost wages for time missed at work, physiotherapy or chiropractic treatment and coverage for prescribed medication. If you are injured by someone else in a car accident, you will also have a claim against the other driver’s insurer. This leads to my third point: contact your lawyer.
If you are injured through no fault of your own, you are entitled to be compensated from the other driver’s insurer for losses not covered by your insurance policy. This includes being entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. Having the right lawyer will help inform you of your entitlement and can help you navigate the process of dealing with insurers and obtaining fair compensation for Steven Veniot your losses. 0047 Gorman Nason Lawyers

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG SHE’S BLOWING A HOOLEY So I was in Sussex getting a pair of new shoes from those nice folks at Outdoor Elements and it was getting around lunch, so I thought a treat at the German bakery was in order. After the treat I felt a little guilty about eating all that sugar and calories. So I decided that I needed a hike and try out those new carbon studded sneakers I just bought. It was blowing a hooley out there. The winds were strong and the crows just loved it. I made my away along the trail, mostly protected by the trees and very glad about my decision to wear the studded shoes as the trail might have been unpassable with regular hiking shoes. When I arrived at the bluff on the granite face the overlooks the valley I thought how incredibly lucky I am to be here and to see that magnificent view. I imagined a shot here for quite some time. I wanted it sunny but I wanted puffy clouds moving rapidly

so that when I dragged the shutter (used a long exposure) I would get streaking clouds in the image and I want these streaking clouds over the valley. However, it just wasn't going to happen today. The ferocity of the winds was evident by the fallen trees on the summit and as such there was no way I could stabilize my tripod enough to get a long enough exposure to get the images I wanted. I tried giving the tripod a bear hug. Nope, the tripod ended up supporting me in those winds. I have a little pouch I can attach to the tripod legs where I can place rocks to help weigh down the equipment. Nope, blew like the great Canadian flag proclaiming look at the geek on the mountain top. With tears in my eyes (the wind was blowing so hard it made my eyes tear up , really) I started my desent. It was here that I really appreciated my carbon spiked shoes and they still slid on occasion

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS
Humboldt Memorial I have often written about the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership’s “Leap of Faith”. Every year since the inception of the Partnership we have increased the number of students we support in Piggs Peak. It is a decision that is made with appallingly little funds in the bank, but with a lot of faith that somehow our financial needs will be met. And every year, they have. It happens because of the significant fundraising efforts by committee members; the reliability of our Starfish sponsors; and, frankly, by unexpected donations from people or organizations that
Chris McTague
see the importance of what we are doing and want to support it. This past week, the Partnership received a significant donation from the Sisters of the Congregation de Notre Dame - $5,000 to pay school fees for 10 students in 2018. These dedicated women have committed their lives "to work toward achieving God’s desire for a just and peaceful world for all peoples." We are humbled by their support and honoured by their acknowledgement that our efforts are in keeping with their mission. It is especially gratifying that this support found its way to us all the way from Montreal. We live in a global neighbourhood and, over the years, the Partnership has received support from all over the world. The Congregation de Notre Dame website says one of their key foundations is that “you shall love your neighbour as yourself ”. There is an African word I learned in Swaziland – “ubuntu”. It’s a word full of meaning but basically it is the belief in a universal bond of compassion and sharing that connects all humanity. I couldn’t help but thinking about this
Greg Harris
as I was watching the aftermath of the tragedy in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. There is nothing that can diminish the extent of that terrible event. But if you were able take your eyes off the carnage for a minute, you would have seen an inexplicable and unparalleled outpouring of empathy and emotion for the young men we lost and for those who survived, including their family and friends. It was powerful and pervasive, coming from all corners of Canada and, in fact, the world. That outpouring is ubuntu; it is loving your neighbour; it is the magical undercurrent that joins us as humans – in Montreal, in Humboldt, in Piggs Peak - and breaks our hearts when we see the pain of others. It compels us to try to do what we can to ease their pain, whether they live in a distant community in Canada or Swaziland. The Sisters have recognized the suffering of the young people in Piggs Peak and have demonstrated their love and compassion. Thank you.

Spring Car Care
Spring-cleaning the house will soon begin and what about spring-cleaning for your vehicle? Has your vehicle lost its showroom appeal? Stew’s Cleaning Services provides many services to help make your car look its absolute best. From headlight restoration, engine detailing, powder coating, polishing, rim refinishing and rim repair a little bit of care can go a long way. The staff at Stew’s cleaning suggests the following five tips to get your vehicle spring ready. Remove your winter tires - To best preserve your winter tires for the next icy cold
season, make sure this tip is on the top of your to do list. Wash and Wax your vehicle - Clean the road salt, mud, dust, debris and grime off your vehicle with a car wash. Protect the finish with a nice coat of wax. Paint buffing (paint correction) make an average paint job sparkle and shine. This eliminates any fine scratches from your paint. Did you know that oxidation occurs when heat and oxygen combine which will break down even the highest quality vehicle paint? This is why paint protection is so important for your vehicle’s finish. Providing a protection with our premium carnauba or Teflon wax
is highly recommended as this provides a protection layer over your paint. It’s all in the detail - As with the exterior, the interior has suffered equally harsh conditions. Car mats and floors are filled with road salt. Seats and carpets are covered in stains and grime, while your dashboard is concealed in a layer of dust. Clean out the trunk. The trunk tends to act as a general storage facility housing everything from hockey gear to shovels, and any other winter items you’ll no longer use. Hydrate Your Car For Spring - You aren’t the only one who needs to refuel to prepare for spring – your car does, too! Be sure to check the levels of all vital fluids. You will be delighted that no significant areas are overlooked. We offer many other services as well which include headlight restoration, engine detailing, powder coating, polishing, rim refinishing and rim repair.

HAMPTON NATURE CLUB On Tuesday, May 1 the Hampton Nature Club presents Wildflowers of New Brunswick with Guest Speaker, Gart Bishop from 7:00-9:00pm. Gart is a member of the Sussex Nature Club (Kennebecasis Naturalist) and is well knowledged on the plants in NB. The April Showers Brings May Flowers always makes me thing about a new start, how we go through the dead of winter to the Springing of Life. Winter always seems
Black and White compared to Spring which over the period of three months become so much more colourful. When I (Paul Martin) had a sugar bush, I used to love the sound of the creeks running even with the snow on the ground, and soon as the snow melted and the ground thawed I would begin to see the colour come back into the forest floor. Trout Lily, Spring Beauties, and Colts Foot to name a few. Gart will share with us about many of the
colourful flowers to be found as the snow goes and the ground thaws, hope you can join us this Month, all are welcome. The Hampton Nature Club meets every first Tuesday of the Month from September to June, 7:00-9:00pm at St Paul's Anglican Church, 486 Kennebecasis River Rd, Hampton. For more information contact Paul Martin: paul66jmartin@gmail.com or call 994-0082. 0053

TOM’S POLAR BEARS
Tommy with the winners
Tommy at his fundraising table
Quispamsis 7-year old, Tommy SmithBates, recently approached his parents with a request. This wasn't your typical plea for the latest toy or a new bike, however. He asked, "Can I send my money to help the polar bears?" "Absolutely!" exclaimed his parents. After having seen a report on the status of polar bears, he decided to take action. The young boy with the big heart sent his own savings to World Wildlife Fund Canada that day. But he wanted to do more. After brainstorming ideas with his mom, Tommy called his school to arrange for a meeting with school administration. Once he had the go-ahead, he got to work. Students at Tommy's school were invited to submit their best picture of a polar bear. In exchange for a modest donation to enter the contest, they were entered into a draw for polar bear-themed prizes. His goal was to raise $200 to help with efforts for this threatened species. Artwork began to come in right away. Students enthusiastically brought in toonies, painted canvas scenes, pencil drawings, collages, even one mask and a mini polar bear puppet on a Popsicle
stick! Of course Granddad, other family and friends were not to be left out. Tommy drafted an email to call upon them for support. Pride was evident as he collected art, recorded donations, and even made the prize announcements to his entire school over the PA system. Tommy is responsible for raising 93% of his $200 goal to date. Now, as he wraps up his campaign, Tommy is beyond thrilled to have played a role in the conservation of these magnificent creatures. To learn more about the plight of the polar bears, or to contribute to this campaign, you can visit his page at support.wwf.ca/goto/ TomsPolarBears. 4914

We’re Glad You Asked! Cost Effective The costs associated with a funeral or a memorial service can vary quite a bit depending on the wishes of the family. Some expenses are basic to every service but many however, are determined by the selections that you and your family make. Many people believe that cremation is cheaper; but this is not true in all situations. Depending on what you would like for arrangements, cremation can have the same cost as a tradional burial and often just depends on what you’re wanting for services.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES NOTES FROM IMPERIAL MAY 2018 Here is something you may not know about Imperial Theatre. I realize you may not know because you have your own life, job, family, hobbies, etc, etc. to think about and the full details of Imperial Theatre (beyond what show you want to see) are not top of mind. Totally understandable. I work at the theatre so of course it’s important to me. Here is it. Oh no…I fear now that I may have built this up much more than was in any way necessary. Temper your expectations please. Here goes. You may not know that Imperial Theatre, while being open all year long, presents our very own Season of shows from September to May annually. These are shows that our Executive Director (Angela Campbell) curates and contracts directly on behalf of Imperial. Now, from the audience perspective it really is all the same to you, but for us these shows hold a
special place. These shows have been chosen specifically to meet a need that we want to help to fill in the city; the need for professional, alternative dance, theatre, music, comedy and more. For Angela and all of us this is an important mission. She likes to say that she wants our region to be able to experience arts right here at home rather than having to travel to Toronto, Montreal or NYC. Of course, we realize that really big shows cannot be staged in a theatre that holds just 850+ but whenever possible, we work to get the best of the best for you. I mention this because as we get close to wrapping up Season 24 it makes me look back at our year with you and take stock. I’d say it’s like the end of the school year but that’s fun and this is a bit of a bummer. I’m sad to see another season end but…excited for the next one. Feelings are mixed.
You have taken so many chances on new things this season and come out to show your support even when you probably were not so sure. A small theatre piece about aging (Victoria) is not exactly blockbuster bait, but you came anyway. We took a chance on a young theatre company from Mumbai (A Passage to Bollywood) and you came out en masse. We offered another annual Mystery Concert (Rosie & The Riveters) and you just kept on taking chances. You really do rock. So as we wind up another season we all want to say a sincere THANK YOU. Thank you for sticking with us. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for coming to the theatre. Keep up the good work. 0030 Here’s to Season 25. B. xo Bethany Stout

TENDING TO MY PATCH GOING GREEN IN THE GARDEN How easy is it to garden using natural or organic techniques? The answer is that it’s actually easier than conventional gardening! Why? Once you begin practicing natural or organic methods, you will quickly realize that everything has to do with the soil: basically organic soil building. Once your soil is healthy, the time, maintenance and frustrations of gardening will actually go down. Most garden failures are caused by poor soil, so by improving the fertility of the soil, the gardener prevents the major cause of poor gardening results. A natural/organic gardener uses natural minerals and organic materials to build up the soil. Compost is by far the best fertilizer for your soil. Compost is the soil’s food. As we all know, it is of the utmost importance to recycle and sort our garbage. Why not use your organic waste to start your “Own Backyard Composting” project? Backyard composting is the most environmentally friendly way to deal with organic waste. If you have bugs in your garden, find out
what they are. The same is true about plant diseases. There are many books, and websites to help you identify your insects. In fact, over 95% of the insects in your garden are either beneficial or cause no harm. Some, like bees and butterflies, are vital to the fertilization process for plants. Most ant species simply collect weed seeds and insect eggs and are known as nature’s vacuum cleaners. Centipedes prey on slugs and snails, dragonflies eat mosquitoes and aphids, and the common ground beetle feeds on cutworms. Lady bugs, spiders, lacewings and even some types of mites are also natural “pest control” species that should definitely be welcomed into your garden. The first thing to remember is to spottreat the problem, rather than trying to spray and treat your entire garden. Second, good old water is one of the most effective weapons. Select a control measure that targets the pest. For instance, use natural bait that is poisonous for ants that you know they

will carry back to their nest and feed to their queen. This won’t kill them right away, but if you are patient, you will find that the whole mound will be dead in a week or two. Take sugar and mix in some borax – not too much, or they’ll either detect it or die before reaching the colony. As Garden Centers we are in a position to offer many alternatives and information to our customers.By trying some or all of natural/ organic practices we can all help reduce our carbon footprint on the Environment, and “Enjoy the Fruits of our Labor”. 0034

THE CRAYON BOX SHATTERING THE GLASS CEILING
My first interview was with Alaina Lockhart, the Member of Parliament representing Fundy Royal. She is the second Liberal to be elected by our riding, and the first woman. Mrs. Lockhart has always been active in her community, from running her own bridal boutique to being a member of the Norton municipal council. She decided to run for the MP position because she wanted to make a difference and create a better Fundy Royal. Alaina feels that it is important to make sure that the citizens of New Brunswick have access to the government and that our voices are heard. “Part of my job is to fight for our piece of the pie,” she said at one point. She dreams of a New Brunswick that the youth can live in, one where they can do what they have always aspired to do. Many young people in New Brunswick sometimes feel as though it’s simply not possible to live here, Alaina wants to change that. During our talk, One issue Alaina brought up was immigration. Our population is both declining and ageing which is impacting on our economy. A smaller population means fewer workers, which in turn means less growth for our local businesses. She was very clear in saying that although immigration is not the entire solution, it is part of the solution. To help with this process, Alaina introduced Bill M-39:
Immigration as a Means of Growth in Atlantic Canada, a bill which passed unanimously. It calls for research on how we can use immigration to increase our population and what effects this will have. Alaina says that this pilot project on immigration will help the government figure out how to handle immigration not only in the Maritimes, but throughout all of Canada. In Alaina’s own words, “If we can do it here, we can do it anywhere.” Since Alaina is the Parliamentary Secretary for Small Business and Tourism, the subject of the Liberal’s proposed tax reforms inevitably came up. The initial proposals by the Liberal government left many small business owners feeling concerned. Alaina said that she thought it was good of the business owners to voice these concerns, because the public backlash made people pay attention to the issue. With more people involved and providing opinions, the government felt it could produce legislation that met the needs of everyone involved. Alaina mentioned that she met with many small business owners in the region and from that data, wrote a 500 page document which was given to the Finance Minister. We discussed the perception that politicians frequently go back on their word. Alaina said that she wished this wasn’t seen as a negative, as politics is an art of compromise and politicians
will change their plans in order to create better legislation. She also stressed the importance of politicians engaging with their voter base and said she wished all politicians did that more. She feels as though that human connection is vital to politicians staying in touch with what their constituents want them to do as well as what the riding needs. She says that while social media is okay, it’s not the best place to have wholesome conversations. She tries not to be combative, and will often offer to meet in person, to better hear suggestions. She feels that it is important to hear opinions other than one’s own. Mrs. Lockhart offered this piece of advice for youth: Take initiative and never be afraid to reach out. People want to empower the youth. And finally, after much consideration, Alaina decided that if she was a crayon, she would be black. She admitted this was an odd choice, but said she chose black because in the same way that black is all the colours coming together, she wanted to be the representation of the many opinions of her constituents coming together. 0011 Edwin Earle Co-Op Student Ossekeag Publishing

WELL RESTED HIDDEN SIGNS OF SLEEP APNEA Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) awareness is on the rise. OSA is a common condition in which breathing is interrupted while you sleep. This results in very disturbed sleep, cardiovascular problems and even depression. The most common symptoms of OSA are snoring and daytime sleepiness. There are some other signs that should send up a red flag that you or a loved one may have OSA. Grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw - Some people with OSA will do this in order to move the jaw forward, opening the airway to allow more air. Morning Headaches - Clenching can cause morning headaches and so can the dangerous drops in oxygen
levels that occur while you sleep. Morning congestion - a stuffy nose or sore, dry throat might indicate you are struggling to breathe at night. Heartburn or acid reflux - Snoring or pauses in your breathing can cause acid to splash up into your esophagus and throat while you sleep. This can be helped or cured with treatment of sleep apnea. Waking at the same time each night or Insomnia - As your brain moves through the different stages of sleep, your muscle tone changes. You may be waking yourself up at the same time when you stop breathing, without realizing the cause for the awakening. Bathroom trips - The effects of stopping
breathing on the heart and kidneys actually make you produce more urine. Treatment can cut your trips to the bathroom dramatically. If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor. A sleep study and treatment may be just the thing to get your sleep back on track. 0038

HAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
February English Students Hello Huskies. There are many wonderful things going on at Hampton High School, so be sure to come out and support your Huskies. The cast and crew of Little Women would like to thank everyone who came out to watch this wonderful musical. It was a great success. If you enjoyed watching the musical, or did not get the chance to see it, come watch HHS Theatre Company’s Drama Festival plays on Wednesday, May 11. These plays will be performed in Fredericton at the 2018 Drama Festival. The casts of the two shows are working very hard, and would love to perform for a large audience. On April 9-11, four members of our SRC went to the Global Student Leadership Summit in London, Ontario. Hana Coughlan (volunteer coordinator), Tatum Drake (grade 10 Representative), Morgan Garnett (volunteer coordinator) and
Ayla Kindred (grade 9 Representative) had a ton of fun meeting new students, listening to presentations, and immersing themselves in a different city. Thank you, ladies, for representing HHS. On Friday, April 13 we had a BBQ and popcorn sale to support the Humboldt fundraiser. There was a sea of jerseys on April 12th to show our support for the team and their families. To continue with our countdown to summer, be sure to participate on Friday, April 27 for Beach Hat Day. Our rugby teams headed off to Ruggers Fest from April 13th-15th. They are having a great start to their season. The volleyball teams are participating in various games this month and next, so come by the HHS gym, and cheer them on. HHS recently installed new bleachers for our 25th anniversary so be sure to check them out. With Earth day coming up, the SRC and
the Environmental Science 120 class have teamed up to plan a Earth centered week. From April 23 - 27, enjoy a variety of theme days, movies, an upcycle competition and garbage clean ups, all centered around the theme of plastics and saving the planet. On Monday, April 30 at 7:00pm, be sure to come on out to HHS where you can enjoy some lovely music and treats at our Grad Class Coffee House. This is one of our traditional fundraisers for Grad Class so come on out and show your support.
