As I am writing this, the weather is cooperating for a nicely controlled reduction in snow... cool nights and above freezing day times. I am continuing to work around the outside of the house doing snow removal with either the front loader on the tractor or my snowblower. I am quite particular, however, when I use the blower after two encounters with hidden “treasures”. The first was a grader blade that broke a shear bolt. The second time, however, was an old logging trailer which broke two shear bolts and snapped the weld on one end of the auger. Lesson one: Distorting half inch steel is easy. Lesson two: Getting half inch steel back in the right location is downright troublesome. After several efforts failed miserably, an old scissor jack, left over from a 1990 pickup, allowed me to push the auger away from the side of the blower. So I jacked it past where I wanted it and left it for an hour. Releasing the pressure I found that it was just about in the right horizontal position but nearly two inches away from the spot where it had to be welded. Using the scissor jack to lift the auger from below just caused the whole 600 lb. blower to lift without budging the auger position. A bunch of head scratching later, I retrieve an old bumper jack. Don’t know where it came from, but I bet that I have hung onto it for over 30 years without ever using it even once. Balance jack on top of auger blade and

Spring Cleaning Special!

hook the lift lever under the top cross plate of the blower. Work the jack with a 16” tire iron and with the tire iron bowing very noticeably, I get it into the proper position. A quick weld and lo and behold!! A few days later, I was continuing my battle against snow and ice. The melting was progressing well but not draining away. So... acquiring several instruments of destruction I began chipping and scraping a pathway from where the water was to where I wanted it to go. After an hour or two a very nice array of channels was carved across the driveway, with a very fine flow of water cascading downhill away from house and yard. All of a sudden the grandgranddaughter came out of her house to join me. Thirty minutes of water play later, she exclaimed that her memory of this would last a long time. She even said it with a straight face. I have also known this 9-year old kid to sometimes have a touch of the blarney. I certainly hope that she does have a great memory of Kid and Grumpy water play. 0001

Internet Sales: Buyer Beware The Internet offers many advantages for consumers looking for information and products. Online purchasing is convenient and private, and in some cases may offer cost savings for individuals. However, before you buy devices such as hearing aids online, here are some things you should know: •A hearing aid is a complex medical device, not a simple sound amplifier. •Hearing aids have digital technology that can be set by an audiologist to meet your personal hearing needs. •Hearing aids bought online without a complete hearing test and other necessary hearing aid services may not meet your needs. •Setting hearing aids for your needs requires specific computer software that audiologists may not have access to if the devices were bought online. For some online businesses, getting the hearing aid settings changed may only be possible by shipping the hearing aid back to the manufacturer, which means you will have to go without your hearing aid for awhile. •To help with your adjustment to hearing aids, audiologists generally provide office visits, reprogramming, counseling, and support when you buy a hearing aid from them. Hearing aids purchased online will generally not include these services.

POINT OF VIEW BUSES AND BUDGETS When we exercise our democratic right to vote, we put faith in a group of people we hope will make the right decisions for the taxpayers. As Canada's only officially bilingual province, New Brunswick has a unique set of challenges. It costs money to provide education and other services in both official languages - $85 million annually. Pair that with the major issues we face already â&#x20AC;&#x201C; job creation, healthcare and education, finding the funding to sustain these services is becoming more difficult. So, when the provincial NDP leader recently suggested that the province look at cutting costs by allowing French and English students to take the bus to school together (something a Kent County school district has been doing successfully for a dozen years now) it was met with swift action from our education minister

The minister claims the province is constitutionally mandated to provide separate buses for anglophone and francophone students, yet he wasn't even aware that eight buses in Kent County have been transporting students together. In a province whose culture is designed to promote inclusion and diversity, segregating students by language will have the opposite effect. If you want students to respect each other and learn another language, there's no better way than allowing them to communicate with one another. We have a bigger problem than school buses. People are leaving this province at an alarming rate, because they can't make a living here. Our young people, saddled with rising student loan debt, are choosing to move elsewhere for better paying jobs. The end result is that we have more debt and fewer people to pay for it. By the looks of the latest New Brunswick budget, we won't be enticing them to return any time soon. Here are a few highlights.

- A deficit of $476.8 million is projected on an $8.6-billion spending program. - Accumulated debt expected to reach $12.6 billion by the spring of 2016. - Taxes on gasoline will increase by 1.9 cents per litre and the cost of diesel will jump by 2.3 cents per litre. - The richest New Brunswickers will be subjected to higher income taxes, with two new tax brackets created for those earning more than $150,000 annually. - The government plans to eliminate 249 teaching positions through attrition, close at least six courthouses and increase premiums for seniors who use the Medavie Blue Cross prescription drug program. 0032

can quickly turn your laundry room into a swimming pool! With the amount of snow and ice build-up we’ve had, leaky roofs have become a real problem for some. Calling a professional roofer to fix flashing or loose shingles can really help to ensure that the job is done right and give you peace of mind. Having a clean unobstructed eavestrough will help to make sure any melting snow or Spring rain has a clear path away from your house. If you’ve had snow and ice buildup sitting in your eavestrough all winter it may be a good idea to get up there and make sure that everything is still firmly attached. Beat the summer heat by checking the weatherstripping and caulking of your windows and doors. Any gaps, cracks, or holes should be filled. In the summer those cracks and holes will give the summer’s heat a place to come in. If you have an air conditioner, it’s a good idea to get it serviced in the Spring to make sure its running at top performance and energy efficiently. Believe it or not, it will get warm enough to need it sooner than you think. Meanwhile this is a great time

Grief Support - Feelings after a loss The death of someone we love is the greatest loss any of us may endure. After the initial shock, we may feel angry, guilty, abandoned, helpless and confused. These feelings may overwhelm us immediately, or they may surface after weeks, months, or years. Although we may feel devastated by our loss, we can learn to cope and grow through the grieving process.

Loss is woven into the fabric of living Grief is not an illness: it is a natural part of life. Grief is not a stable thing with a clear beginning, middle or end. It is a process that may (or may not) include anguish, fear, denial, despair, illness, sadness, and longing. You do not have to endure your pain in silence and isolation. Talking will not change your loss, but it can help make your feelings bearable. What you feel and need today may be different from yesterday, may be different tomorrow and may be different from the needs and feelings of other people.

FRESH WITH FOOD EAT YOUR HOUSEPLANTS In my last column, I explained the results of a landmark study that tested the bioavailability of some of our most antioxidant rich foods. The study showed exceptional results for ginger. Even better, ginger can easily be grown as a houseplant that you eat. Ginger is a rhizome, native to Southern China. It likes heat and humidity. If you want to grow it in your house, just buy some organic ginger at a store. Break what you would normally consider a hand of ginger into 3 or 4 pieces. Mix a large pot of soil or several small ones with organic pro-mix and some rich compost (hen, sheep, mushroom compost, worm castings or anything else similar). Place the ginger 3 or 4 inches down in the soil, with the pieces at least 6 inches apart. The soil should always be damp. After a few weeks, the ginger will poke through. As it grows

taller, you can add a few inches of soil, perhaps with more compost to give it lots of nutrients. It will make your home smell incredible. In six months it will be ready, and you can pull a plant at a time and use it, replanting the pot with more if you want a steady supply. The best part is that freshly harvested ginger is so much more incredible than what you usually get at the store and you can use the leaves too. They are especially great in soup. If you have the space to grow ginger outdoors, you can either do it in a very large container or box like described above or you can do it in hills. In both cases, for the best results, you should have the ginger in a mini greenhouse, high tunnel or some sort of structure to provide the necessary heat and humidity. In this case, you would want to sprout the ginger indoors by placing it in the same soil mix described above anytime in mid-late March. The best ginger I have seen was grown in small hills about 8 inches tall and

12 inches wide with a drip irrigation line running along the top. It is smart to have a small propane heater on hand to take the edge off those extra cool nights in the spring and fall. A small source of heat will make a big difference. If you are interested in growing some ginger, check out the Facebook group Ginger Growing in Atlantic Canada. I honestly hope this creates a wave of ginger growers around the Maritimes. I am pretty sure I am the first person to ever grow ginger commercially in NB and now there are many farmers that grow much more than I and have greater success. Good luck! 0039

ON THE ROAD Save Money On Gasoline This Spring Follow these gas saving tips and watch your bills at the pump drop. Don’t pass while driving uphill: You car and its engine, aren’t that much different than someone on a bicycle. Driving uphill is going to be more draining, than cruising on level ground or going downhills. Let your car lose a bit of speed while

you travel uphills, and make it up going down the otherside. Limit your passing to when you’re on level ground or heading downhill. Not only will this help you to save money on gasoline, but it will also help reduce wear and tear on your engine. Keep steady: Alternating between

stomping on the gas and stomping on the brakes can add up to a lot of money wasted over time. Instead, gradually accelerate when the light turns green, you may lose a couple seconds but your engine and wallet will love you for it. The same can be said about braking. Let your car coast and the speed drop before you put on the brakes.

This will save you a bit of gas by coasting instead of keeping your foot on the pedal right to the light. It’ll also save your brake pads and help the last longer.

Use the Cruise: Cruise control will keep your car a steady speed as you whizz down the highway and this is a great thing to improve your gas milage as you go. Especially on a long road trip with hours of driving time. If you encounter any big hills, take the cruise control off and let the car slow down a bit as you climb the hill. This will help to avoid unnecessary spikes in revolutions as your car tries to maintain your speed going uphill.

KV OLD BOYS MAKING A GOOD COMMUNITY BETTER

THE REAL CREAM Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week I was asked about whipped cream. What are the benefits in using real over the cool whip or canned whipped cream? Well as I always say, real is always better than fake. Have you ever looked at what the ingredients are in the fake whipped cream? Well it is not cream, it is oil. Three or four kinds of oil mixed with chemicals, stabilizers and flavouring. Yum, that sounds great! This is one of those things people buy because it is easy. That is the only benefit but what are the long term effects? I am not a doctor, but from the ingredients, all I can tell you is that you will be well preserved. Now why not make real whipped cream? Is it because you prefer the sweet taste? I can help with that. Is it getting thick enough and not runny? I can help with that. Is it the mess it may make? Sorry, can’t help with that. Secret to making good whipped cream is temperature. Often people pull a bowl out of the cupboard, add the cream from the fridge and start beating. This will work but will take longer and it will not stay as thick as you want. I always put a stainless steel bowl and the cream I am about to whip in the freezer for about 20 minutes. I use a whisk but beaters are just as good. The science behind whipping cream is that we are incorporating air into the cream, causing it to stiffen. Once you get the the stiffness you are looking for, place the bowl in the fridge right away. Now for the sweetness. If I was making 250ml of whipping cream, I would start the process, same as above. When the cream begins to stiffen, add 1 teaspoon of icing sugar and 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla. Continue to beat your cream until the required consistency. This is a traditional flavour and is all natural. So what is the correct consistency you ask? That depends on the application but for the most part, it is at the point that the cream sticks on a spoon that

you can turn upside down and it will not fall of change shape. If you don’t whip the cream enough, it will eventually fall and return back to liquid and if you beat it too much you will have made butter. You can always re-beat if it is not stiff enough, but if you make butter, continue to beat the cream until the water begins to separate from the fats, place it in a mold and enjoy your home made sweet butter. Don’t just throw it out, it will be the best butter you have ever had - all natural.

DONATION TO BELLEISLE WATERSHED COALITION Thanks to a generous donation from TransCanada’s Energy East Pipeline project, the Belleisle Watershed Coalition (BWC) was able to purchase a handheld multiparameter meter – an important new piece of water testing equipment that is essential in water assessment programs. With a $5,000 donation from TransCanada, the BWC was able to purchase the equipment, enabling them to measure pH, salinity and dissolved oxygen and the speed of the flow of water. The device includes a computerized data log where the information that has been collected can be downloaded and stored to create a long-term archive. The BWC covers the 37,000 hectares of forests and farmlands that surround Belleisle Bay reaching from Kars to Mercer Settlement and Kingston Corner to Pearsonville and Searsville, near Sussex. It is part of the St. John River system and – despite being 40 kilometers from the Bay of Fundy – has a tidal response. The Belleisle watershed is part of the UNESCO designated Stonehammer GeoPark. The BWC is a non-profit organization and

Sharon Cunningham, and Patrick Lacroix, TransCanada’s Energy East Project, with new water testing equipment has applied for charitable status, created to protect and promote, with the user and landowner, the environmental and socio-economic resources of the Belleisle Bay watershed. The goal of BWC over the next several years is to provide a central body to promote good environmental practices through education and action,

HAMPTON CURLING CLUB LADIES’ CURL UPDATE This year the Hampton Curling Club celebrated it’s 61st year of ladies’ curling on February 21. The day started at 9:00am with 10 teams of four (from Sussex to Saint John), sliding onto the ice for their first game of the day. Besides spending a day with the girls, this event brings all the ladies together for the love and fun of curling. Some have attended this event many times, some are seasoned curlers, but only curl at this one event, and some have been strictly armchair curlers and have never actually tried the game. The fun part of this day is that all participants are treated equal. Besides the curling, the organizing committee gathered a collection of people to offer various off-ice services and activities to the curlers during the day - massages; manicures, cosmetics, unique purses and crafts made from

recycled material, scents and burners, photo sessions, and the local chapter of the Taoist Tai Chi Club gave a demonstration of this relaxing marshal art. Registration gift bags were provided by Cristi Wheaton. The whole day was capped off with a delicious roast beef dinner, cooked and served by the Club’s men. A very special thanks to all those gentlemen who helped cook, serve, tend bar and clean-up. Thank you also to the men who made great ice for the ladies to curl on. Top prizes were presented to the first three teams: in 1st place the Club’s High School team Skipped by Michaela Kelly, second Esmee Setzke and mate Emily Kelly (a club member Dawn Miner played lead, in Erin Bethune’s absence); a team from Thistle St. Andrews Club took 2nd place, Skipped by Doreen Tait: and 3rd place was claimed by Elaine Tilley,

another team from TSA. Donations for lunch were accepted and presented to Denise McCrea, the co-ordinator of the Little Rocks and Junior’s programs, to help in her team’s efforts to continue the youth curling program in the community. Everyone went home with a small gift, as well as smiles on their faces and talk of returning to next year’s event. The organizing team would like to say a special thank you to the local businesses who generously donated items for the silent auction: Massage Matters, Mary Kay, Irving Paper, Grape D’Vine; Décor 8; Jamberry rep, Vicky Porter; Pampered Chef rep, Nicole MacNeill; Home Hardware; Beverly’s Day Spa; The Potting Shed; Verna Totton-Graham; and Juliann Guitard of His & Hers Hair Salon. “Hurry hard” and keep on curling, a great activity for all ages! A treat way to have fun in the winter. Look for us again around this time next year for a wonderful day of curling and fun for any lady who would like to her hand at this great winter sport. 3431

WHY I RELAY Alex Locke, Stage Entertainment Coordinator It is my responsibility to recruit live bands to perform on the stage while there are no activities going on for the Relay teams. This is my first year being involved with Relay, but I am excited to contribute for years to come. The reason that I considered becoming involved was because I was asked by a co‐worker, but the real reason I said yes to them was because of my grandmother. My nanny was diagnosed with cancer while I was living in University. It was summer at the time, but I had stayed in Fredericton to work at the Boys and Girls Club’s summer camp. I remember my Mom calling me and telling me that Nan was being moved into a hospice to live out her final days more comfortably. I was

scheduled to work right up until Friday that week and this call came in Tuesday or Wednesday. My boss, bless her soul, noticed how distracted and distraught I was and made an exception to let me head back home Thursday evening after my shift ended. I went straight to Saint John after work that day and visited with my Nan. It was a very emotional time for me. My nanny was one of the strongest ladies I have ever met. She was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when she was nine years old and was restricted to a wheelchair from then on - at that time a wooden one. After seeing her battle that disease with so much success her whole life, it killed me to see how the cancer was affecting her. She was in such rough shape that she was kept asleep pretty much the whole time that I was there. The only time I saw her

move or acknowledge anyone in the room was when I first showed up and Mom told her that I was there. It was as simple as her slightly moving her fingers and lips, but to me it felt like she was embracing me and telling me she loved me. That’s the thing with cancer, it takes so much from those we love and ourselves. It puts everything into perspective and you’re left cherishing all of the small things that you might have taken for granted in the past. Initiatives like the Relay for Life need to be supported so that this terrible disease can be stopped once and for all. Not only that, but this event provides the support that people need after a loved one or themselves have gone through this awful battle; so I encourage you all to become involved! Join Alex and many others in your community for the Relay For Life June 6 at our new time from 6:00pm‐12:00midnight at Hampton High School. Contact Brianna Starkey at 634‐6042, bstarkey@ nb.cancer.ca or Joanne Nickerson at jonick@bellaliant.net for more information. 3432

LISTEN IN CREATIVITY, CONFIDENCE AND KINDNESS “Creative Confident Kids”... do I have your attention? Those three words should do it especially when speaking about our youth in our surrounding communities. I recently caught up via phone with, the creator/owner and operator of Kidsing Performance Schools, Casey Yerxa about what the school is all about. I initially heard about the school and its programs through my wife Cynthia who took part of it in its early(ier) days. “Essentially Kidsing is a musical theatre performance school where kids can take classes in various different genres of musical theatre including dance, acting, musical theatre or acrobatics. Our whole primary concern is that children grow their Creativity, grow their Confidence and grow their Kindness.” Casey tells me in expressing what the schools mandate is.

“Our biggest transition through our operations has been - initially we’re really into kids who are very serious about dance or musical theatre that wanted to go on. Like the Brandon Jones’, Kyle McVea’s and we’re really into training them. What we also saw was a lot of children who love musical theatre that weren’t necessarily going to go on to be professional performers – we wanted to make sure the program catered to the kids who had a passion to go to do professional work but also for the kids who just wanted to do musical theatre, wanted to sing and dance and develop lifelong skills that they could use”. Sounds fun! It’s truly another amazing program right here in our community which has programs that run year round, as well as their summer programs. Summer is right around the corner after all, right? I was wondering about the kids and families who maybe didn’t have the finances to take part in the programs and Casey cleared that up for me as well by adding.

“What we do is we never turn anyone away. Essentially, if there is a child who really wants to attend but it isn’t going to happen money-wise, we can find ways. We are heavily supported by Pro-kids, we can also offer scholarships.” Casey also tells me about another program they are currently developing to take into the schools to help with just that. An amazing initiative! What is really wonderful to hear is how it’s like a family for the kids and that is so important when talking about community as a whole. You can find about the programs happening including the up-coming summer programs by going to: kindsing. ca. Go out there and reach for the stars and always enjoy the journey! 0041

We Thank You

Whether you volunteer every week, once a month, or once a year, we offer you our sincere thanks for all of the hours you spend helping the people around you. Volunteers are at the heart of our communities. Every hour you give matters. Whether you’re sitting at a table and collecting donations for the Royal Canadian Legion & our veterans, or leading a Girl Guide troop on a nature hike through the woods. You are giving your community more than just your time, you are helping those around you. Every year volunteers donate millions of hours for countless causes throughout our community, our province, and our country. Each one giving selflessly of themselves, helping to create a better world for those around them. Foodbank workers who help quiet grumbling stomachs. Troop leaders who help children create memories that will last a lifetime. Coaching hockey, picking up litter, organizing fundraising events, visiting the sick or elderly, teaching

For the past fifteen years at Ossekeag Publishing we’ve printed community magazines filled with community news. We’ve been a hub of what was happening in each of our readership communities, providing info on the local strawberry suppers, when & where the next fundraiser yard sale event will be and what local school is putting on a Spring Drama; information provided by volunteers. But volunteers do so much more. They are the beating hearts of the community, the ones who make it all possible. Without them our pages would be empty, and our communities would be different places to live. So to each and every one of you who has volunteered we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’ve been awestruck by how much is brought into a community by people who go out and try, who go out and help, and who go out and serve. You are appreciated and noticed. Thank you,

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS Karen Mandy’s husband, Stuart, has been heavily involved with the gogo garden in Piggs Peak. On our behalf, he has hired two locals Njabulo and Mancoba – to work in the garden. The success of the operation has been truly incredible. You may remember that 10 acres of land was initially donated for our use by Ginny Kummer, a good friend of Karen and Stuart’s. Since then Stuart has overseen the planting of maize, lettuce, cabbages, chillies, paw paws, and strawberries. We recently entered an agreement with the USave Supermarket in Piggs Peak to supply lettuce. It started at 120 per week, grew to 200 per week and now they are taking 300 lettuce per week, delivered to the store every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. At this level of sales, the garden could be self-sufficient by the end of April. Meanwhile, green maize and cabbages are being provided to the grandmothers in Piggs Peak. It’s now autumn in Swaziland and the maize is about ready to be harvested. We have built a hopper for drying and storage. Also,

a greenhouse is being constructed for spinach beds and cherry tomatoes (also for the USave supermarket.) It really has become an amazing operation and there is plenty of room for expansion… and lots of ambition as well! The garden operation has not been without its challenges. Weather is always unpredictable and, although there are some duiker (antelope) that

invade the garden, our biggest enemies are the monkeys who eat the maize and the paw paws. We don’t want to hurt the little guys but we have invested in a couple paintball guns to gently persuade them to dine elsewhere. We can’t thank Stuart enough for his dedication to this project. His oversight and enthusiasm have been invaluable and key to the garden’s success to date. The recent Women’s Dinner -Women Helping Women through Food and Song - was a sellout and a great success. Thank you to Chef Nancy Fox for an amazing meal and Debbie Adshade and Hannah Cummings for wonderful entertainment. And thanks to all the women who attended and supported the Hampton Piggs Peak Partnership. The proceeds of approximately $7,000 will be used to allow girls to attend school and for projects supporting the grandmothers in Piggs Peak. For more information contact me, Mark Bettle, at bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca or 832-0003. To receive regular updates on what’s going on, like us on facebook at: facebook.com/hamptonpiggspeak. 0010

MUSINGS CAN YOU SEE THAT? I have a very clear memory of putting on my first pair of glasses. I think I was 13 at the time, just before entering high school for Grade 9. At the oneroom schoolhouse I attended for my first 8 years of school I was always able to manage although I couldn’t see the blackboard very well. Prior to my starting high school, however, the public health nurse came around to our little country school and tested my eyesight. Fail! So it was off to Saint John for an exam and to pick out glasses. My father picked them up after work one day and brought them home to me. As I stood in the living room and looked out the window for the first time at the green blobs I had been seeing for years, they suddenly had leaves! I was amazed to realize what “normal” vision looked like. I have often wondered what life must have been like in the days before eyeglasses for those who like myself had very poor distance vision. When my children were young I sometimes worried I would be unable to help them in an emergency

if I did not have my glasses. So, about 15 years ago I took the next step and ditched my glasses and contacts for laser eye correction surgery. Even cooler than getting my glasses! I sat up from the chair after the surgery and could read the time on a clock that I couldn’t even see on the wall when I sat down less than an hour before. Wow! Recently there have been stories throughout the media on the rising numbers of young people with myopia (near-sightedness, or being able to see close-up but blurred for distance). There has been a precipitous rise in the number of kids with poor distance vision, and it appears to be related to the amount of time spent outdoors, particularly as children. Contrary to what you might think, it has nothing to do with the amount of screen time kids are getting and everything to do with the simple exposure to outdoor light. I was surprised to learn that even the cloudiest day outdoors sitting under a shade tree wearing sunglasses provides 20 times more light than a well-lit classroom or office. In areas of the world where young people spend the least amount of time outdoors (particularly East Asia)

rates of myopia have skyrocketed such that 80-90% have the condition by the time they finish secondary school. We may not understand everything about how the sunlight protects children from developing myopia, but the evidence that it does is pretty clear. Ensuring our young people get an average of 2 hours outdoors per day (even if they take their tablets outdoors and sit under a shady tree) can have a huge benefit in vision health. And perhaps they might even put the electronics down and enjoy a simple game of tag or hide-and-seek with their friends. Who knows, it might even be fun! “I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things… I play with leaves, I skip down the street and run against the wind.” ~ Leo Buscaglia, author and motivational speaker. 0002
