So this morning “The Jet” had his annual checkup. As expected, he was perfect, despite the vet noting a bit of weight gain. But, as she explained “he is a big boy” and no dietary restrictions have been ordered. I think I will, however, cut him back a bit since he is just now entering apple season. Now, you wouldn’t think that a dog would have ever heard of the saying “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”. But “The Jet” eats apples as if he never wanted to see the vet again, but that just isn’t true. The only time that “The Jet” ever sees a leash is when he is going to the vet, but this morning when I pulled out the leash that he hadn’t seen in a year , he actually got excited. He loves going to the vet. Between some doggie treats and being treated like a rock star, he is in doggie heaven. So I ask all you pet owners this question. Does your visit with your doctor even come close to being as smooth, as easy and as enjoyable as your pet’s visit to the vet. And so, I ask once again, “why is it that pets can, by and large get faster smoother health care than people”?? The first obvious reason is that people care is socialized and free, while pet care is private sector and costs money. Now, before anyone gets all wild, I am
well aware that the the US healthcare system is still largely private sector and is by far the most expensive in the world and only delivers mediocre results compared to the best in the world. But, I still believe that there must be ways to either integrate the private sector into our healthcare system or generate more business-like practices. I realize that some people have a distrust for the private sector in delivering certain essential services such as healthcare or drinking water, but please realize, while your heart surgeon may not be private sector, virtually every single piece of equipment that is used will be a product of the private sector. Your surgeon may be great but I would bet that if your heart machine was to stop working midway through a transplant procedure then the surgeon is unlikely to be successful. Quality and efficiency in virtually anything can be produced by the private sector given the right incentives. Just something to think about.

NAUWIGEWAUK DARLING SENIORS’ NEWS The August 11, 2014 meeting of the Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors was held in the Nauwigewauk Hall at 1:30pm with 18 members and one guest (Coby Allain) present. The final quilt report was given my member Halen Blakney
and the quilt winner was Lori Garland of Hammond River. Plans were made for the up-coming election of new officers for the coming year. The Nominating Committee will hold a meeting on August 26.
Lori Garland, the winner of the 2014 Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors quilt draw which took place at the Nauwigewauk Fair. The Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors thank all for their support during ticket sales.
After an ample lunch was provided by the Refreshment Committee, all members travelled to Hampton to view the current display at the Kings County Museum and the Old County Gaol. Museum summer students, Rebecca Pearson and Greg Urquhart, told us stories of school children planting and tending gardens to feed themselves and their families. They became known as Soldiers of the Soil. Mrs. Charles Dickson knit 420 pairs of men’s socks for the war effort and she accomplished this feat in just four years. A beautiful hand embroidered cotton quilt, which displays names of community members that has been embroidered with red thread, was another war effort. For the grand sum of ten cents anyone could have their name on this quilt. The seniors certainly enjoyed their visit to the Kings County Museum and there are many other special displays just waiting for visitors to drop by and learn about the early history of our county. Treat yourself and make a visit soon. Respectfully submitted, J. Hill. 0036

V.O.C. REUNION UPDATE The 50th Reunion of the Class of 1964 from Saint John Vocational School was held on August 1 & 2. It was a complete success, starting with 80 graduates attending the Meet & Greet on Friday night at HVHS/SJVS. It was like going back in time, meeting old friends and renewing friendships after 50 years. There were pictures of the graduates posted on the gymnasium walls from each Department and memorabilia displayed on tables. Refreshments were served and many pictures taken - a great start to our Reunion. Saturday morning began with a River Boat Cruise on the St. John and Kennebecasis Rivers, originating from the Saint John Marina, with 60 in attendance. The fog cleared as we departed the Marina and the 3-hour cruise was enjoyed by all. Our grand finale was dinner at the KBM Community Centre, catered by Child’s Food, with over 80 enjoying a delicious roast beef dinner. Tilman Martin was our Master of Ceremonies for the evening who recalled wonderful memories of our school days at Voc.
THOSE IN ATTENDANCE OF The 50th Reunion of the Class of 1964 from Saint John Vocational School. We were pleased to have many of our teachers in attendance reminiscing with the graduates during the Meet & Greet and Dinner. Most of our teachers are in their 80’s. A thank you was extended to the
Teachers, HVHS/SJVS Alumni and HVHS Staff for the help needed to make our 50th a success. Committee Submission: Brenda Graham, Sandra Smith, Linda Graham & Clarisse Fournier. 3045

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty SAINT JOHN BLOGGER This past week I had the pleasure of interviewing Saint John Blogger (along with many other cool things) Barb Crawford. Her Blog just turned 5 years old! Congratulations Barb! I highly recommend you check it out since Barb is in the forefront of all that is inspiring about the city. Go too http:// barbbarbbarb.com Jeff - Why did your first start a blog? What keeps it fresh for you 5 years later? Barb - (a) - 5 years ago I was looking for a creative outlet. I was watching a lot of runway fashion shows and looking for bargains here and there - I needed someone to share it with. Slowly, my blog transformed from sharing runway looks I loved and sales at online stores to features, reviews and interviews with local businesses, bands, artists and event highlights. (b) - My blog is 100% love driven. I am
always scrawling ideas I have in my purple notebook. I'm always pitching stories to artists and store owners. I'm always thinking about events I want to attend and putting them into action to share them with the community. It's fresh because there's always something new to do and someone new to meet. Jeff - What are some of the exciting events you have been involved with in the city? Barb - In March 2011, Dan Culberson and I started #SaintJohnCut – a collaborative photo shoot with stores, photographers, models, hairstylists and makeup artists. In 2011 I started a giveaway series called #30in30 - 30 giveaways in 30 days to local businesses. This was such a community gamechanger for me. Jeff - Why is this city so special? Barb - What a question. Saint John is home to me. I was born and raised here. The community culture of Saint John is like none other. Jeff - How do you see our local arts &
culture scene today? Where do you see it going in the future? Barb - (a) - Arts & Culture in Saint John is in the middle of a revival. Many of my evenings and late nights are spent in bars listening to local and touring bands. The shows lately have been packed. This is good for our locals’ acts as well as those touring through. With over a dozen galleries in Uptown Saint John as well as artists’ studios and museums - the arts community is strong and present. (b) - My sincere hope is that progress is made on full implementation of the Arts & Culture policy that the City adopted in 2005.Arts and Culture are important to improving quality of life, building healthy and happy communities.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS For the sixth year in a row, a beautiful summer evening filled with incredible music was enjoyed by everyone who attended “Concert by the Creek”. And it was a lot of people who enjoyed it as we drew our biggest crowds ever! This year’s concert was opened by 11-year old Magnus Labillois and concluded with Dylan Ferrell, Emily Carlson, and Emily Petley’s performance of “Ain’t No Sunshine”. Or so we thought. As the planned program ended, we were treated to a special surprise performance by the high energy group of Revelation Maranatha from Dominican Republic. Their rousing rendition of “No Woman No Cry” had everyone leaving the concert with a late night jolt of Caribbean energy! Our organizer, Laura Myers, summed up this Concert perfectly when she said “it was a magical night filled with wonderful talent and an amazing sense of community." Laura and her husband, Chris Rendell, put a lot of work into organizing this event. But I know for them it is a labour of love as are all of the events put on by the Hampton-
8
Piggs Peak Partnership. The love is for our fellow humans, for our neighbours, in Swaziland who are in such desperate need of our help. And the feedback we get from our Swazi neighbours lets us know the love is reciprocated. We have an amazing team of volunteers that works tirelessly to raise funds. Part of our reward is from the support and encouragement we get from the people in our community. Through the contributions of the people who attended the Concert we raised over $3,300 to pay school fees for young people in Piggs
Peak! On behalf of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership, I want to thank Magnus Labillois; Sophie and Chris Armstrong; Reece Kelly; Doug Farrell; Emily Carlson; Andrew Conrad; Chad Fletcher; Derek Doucet; Dylan Farrell; Mike Tees; Mathieu Benoit; Glenn Hall; Julian Long; Joel McPherson; Emily Petley; Chris Walton; Paige Stevenson, Bailey Dalton and McKinley LeonardScott. Thanks to the tech crew: Logan Stackhouse, Ethan Phillips, Luka Malatestinic and Ben Newton. Special thanks to Blair Boudreau for opening his home to us and again hosting this special event. Many people who attended said they would be sure to come again next year. The best way to keep track of when Concert by the Creek and all our events are held is to visit us at www.facebook. com/hamptonpiggspeak and “like” us. That way you will receive a regular update on what’s going on with the Partnership. For more information, contact me, Mark Bettle, at bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca or 832-0003. 0010

ASK THE CHEF by colin Sifton PRE-HEATING Colin Sifton here, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering, with another answer to your question: When should pans be preheated before cooking and how can I tell if they’re hot enough? It really depends on what you are cooking but for the most part, all pans should be preheated as well as ovens. Putting cold food into a cold pan and letting them heat up together tends to make your product sweat and will not give you the desired outcome. When frying meat, chicken or fish you will need a very hot pan. By cooking in a preheated pan with a small amount of oil, you will seal your product, trapping in all the juices and flavours which gives you a proper product. If you add any of these to a cold pan, you will see moisture beginning to appear in your pan. This has come from your meat and it has now made it less moist as well as more tough: two things you
never want out of the main ingredient of your meal. There is a really easy way to tell if your pan is hot enough. We call it the smoke point. This is when the oil in the pan just begins to smoke. This is the point where the oil begins to break down and will not get any hotter. All oils have a different smoke point. Canola oil has a smoke point of 200 degrees C, where extra light olive oil is about 242 degrees C and is better for you. The oil right now that has the highest smoke point is avocado oil at 271 degrees C. You should never cook in butter, even though everyone does. The smoke point of butter is 177 degrees C but the bigger problem is that butter has milk solids as well as oil and these milk solids burn before your food is ready and some studies has shown that it may cause cancer. If you like cooking with butter, may I suggest microwaving the butter first to separate the oil from the milk solids and then use the oil to cook with.
Your oven should also be preheated for the same reasons as the pans. If you start with a cold product in a cold oven not only are you going to lose moisture and tenderness, but it will take longer for your oven to come to temperature. If you are following a timed recipe, this will no longer be accurate. I know a lot of people do not take the time to preheat as it takes time to coordinate the next step in your preparation, but try it and I promise you will see a difference in the end product, more compliments on your meal and a healthier meal for your family. 0040

WHAT I’LL FIGHT FOR THE WORKING CLASS
Fair pay for a fair days work. I want to make sure companies pay people what they are worth. To often companies think they can abuse our workforce. A job that doesn’t pay the bills and isn’t worth working isn’t much better then no job at all.
PATIENT CARE
More nurses per bed is a must. We have a dangerous situation for both nurses and patients. Our front line workers are put into unacceptable stressful situations that cause work shortages. Patients are not getting the care they should.
SMALL BUSINESS
This riding is full of entrepreneurs. I want to see them succeed not only for themselves but for their employees and for the province as a whole. The NDP will eliminate the small businesses tax.
EDUCATION
I served as an education counsellor and I saw how politics get in the way of teachers doing their job. Set goals and standards then get politics out of the classroom. Let teachers do what they are trained to do, teach.
FORESTS AND WATER
There isn’t anywhere more beautiful in the world then right here. It will be my job to protect it. We as a province have been cutting bad deals for too long. Sure we need jobs but not at the expenses of everything we hold dear.

T
he Labour Day holiday has since the 1880’s, been an annual celebration of working men and women; who back in those days worked even longer than most of us do today. The holiday was created in response to a parade in support of the strike by the Toronto Typographical Union. What were they striking for? A reduction to a fifty-eight hour work week! An almost unheard of number for a standard work week nowadays.
still be fashionable, c) the day before the kids go back to school. Very few of us celebrate it for what it is and lump it in with the rest of the civic holidays that we take for granted. So, how do you plan to use your unofficial last day of summer? A
trip with the family to the beach, weather permitting of course, the tail end of a Canadian Summer can be a fickle thing. Maybe a simple BBQ in the backyard with friends and family, or just a relaxing day around the house without any real labour to speak of.
We now have a standard forty hour work week for many professions and Labour Day’s history and roots have largely been lost to the annals of time. Most people now think of Labour Day as: a) the unofficial end of summer, b) the last day we can wear white and

The Hampton Herald
Thanks to the efforts of those in the 1880’s, most of now enjoy work weeks that consist of 38 hours on average instead of the 58 that was the norm back then.
Unlike the other holidays, the pomp and circumstance of Labour Day has been lost over the years. There are no more large parades or picnics, it has changed from a day of celebration into a day of rest, free to be spent how you choose. There are no obligatory family gatherings or long timehonored traditions passed down for long years. Just a day off and for children the last day of a misspent summer where time seemed endless and things to do seemed few. No matter how you choose to celebrate, whether with family and friends in the backyard, by sleeping in, or a quick trip to a local park or beach, there
While there is no longer parades and picnics, take this labour day to be thankful to those that work so hard everyday to provide us with our basic necessities.

2014 HAMPTON 5-MILER This year’s ‘Hampton 5-Miler’, including the ‘Kids’ Kilometre’ and ‘Three for Me 3K’ will be on Sunday, September 7. Runners, walkers and waddlers of all ages are welcome. There’s something for everyone. This well organized event, which will see hundreds of people of all ages, speeds and abilities, begins at the High school at 10:00am, covering a five mile circuit around Hampton. The event runs the gamut from being a Super Series Run and 5-Mile Provincial Championship for the more serious runners, to being a family affair with a 1k fun run for those under 12 (9:00am), and a 3K for those under 16. There will be babysitting in the school for younger ones if mom and dad want to both participate, and shower facilities in the school. The event is organized by the Hampton River Runners, a group of runners and walkers who put the race on for the benefit of the community. All money raised by way of registration fees and sponsors
stays in Hampton to promote healthy active living. This is possible due to the tremendous financial and in-kind support of many local individuals and businesses. We also encourage people to bring their gently used running shoes to donate to a worthy cause. Following the run/walk there is a feast of healthy sandwiches, fruit, cookies and drinks and an award ceremony in the theatre at the school. There are dozens of prizes to be won and not just by the fastest in the crowd. Every registrant is in the running (so to speak!) to win a prize. You just have to be there. Get your neighbour, spouse, grandparents and kids, and join us on Sunday, September 7. You will feel fantastic and you will be among hundreds of others who feel the same. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged and can be done on-line at: atlanticchip.ca or runningroom. com. For more information go to: hamptonriverrunners.ca or call Jamie Gamble at 832-0366 or Elona Beckett at 333-3915. 3041

For all middle and high school students, there will be a ‘transition day’ with only grades 6 and 9 attending on September 2nd. Some exceptions to this are: Grades K-8 schools will not have a grade 6 transition day so all students will attend on September 2nd. Grades 6-12 schools will not have a grade 9 transition day, and in grades K-12 schools there will not be a grade 6 or 9 transition day. The transition day is intended for students who will be starting middle or high school in a different building. If you are unsure, please call your school the week before school begins or check the school website. For high schools in Saint John (Saint John High School, Simonds, St. Malachy’s and Harbour View) only the grade 9 students will attend on September 2nd, grades 10-12 students attend on September 3rd, and all grades 9-12 students attend on September 4th. Teachers and school administrators will be involved in meetings and professional learning activities the week of August 25th-28th. The complete 2014-2015 school calendar can be found on our website www.asd-s.nbed.nb.ca TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION Students should be at their bus stop five minutes before the scheduled time. It is normal for bus schedules and stops to be adjusted during the first few days of operation. Your patience in this regard is appreciated. Hampton and Saint John Education Centres: The District will send home letters with busing arrangements for all Kindergarten children by the last week of August.
Busing information can be obtained on the Anglophone South website: www.asd-s.nbed.nb.ca located under “Busing”. If busing is not available via the website please contact your school of residence after August 18th and someone will be able to assist you. Saint John Education Centre (High Schools): Students that are eligible to travel on Saint John Transit will have their Student Bus Passes available at school on the first day of class. Students must sign for a pass and assume responsibility for it. Passes are not available at the Centre office. Best wishes to all students and staff for a happy and safe new year!

POINT OF VIEW
Apparently, cafeteria food is gross, the lineups are too long, and there's no place to sit when you finally get your food (teen nonproblem #1,271). As the mother of a 14-year-old daughter, I've never had to drag her to the mall to shop. She goes willingly, and with a long list of wants to boot. She could (and does) spend countless hours looking for that perfect new outfit, or that latest footwear trend. I don't remember shopping being that complicated, when I was growing up. As long as you owned a pair of Levi's, neon anything and enough hairspray to make that big hair even bigger, you were happy – and I was! Now, there's more pressure put on kids (and their parents) to wear name brand everything. That's what I love about private and/or independent schools like Valley Christian Academy and Rothesay Netherwood. Everyone wears a school uniform, and everyone looks the same. It gives students the ability to focus on what's really important – getting a quality education.
BACK TO SCHOOL BLISS September means many things – the promise of cooler weather, a collage of beautiful colours, warmer clothing and, of course, back to school. If you're a parent, you're probably rejoicing right about now. The boredom that has afflicted many a student this summer is about to end, only to be replaced by hectic schedules, homework and a never-ending lists of school supplies and clothing to buy. It also means coming up with new and inventive ways to pack a lunch that your kids will actually eat. Aside from the Christmaslike costs and long line-ups associated with back to school shopping, making lunches is probably my least favorite task associated with back to school. It starts out pretty good. I stock up on all of the essentials my teen “has” to have for her lunch, only to discover a week or two later that she no longer likes it. Really? Oh, and giving her money to eat in the cafeteria comes with its own set of challenges.

Throughout my daughter's elementary school years, teachers purchased the school supplies and we paid a fee when school resumed. Boy, do I miss those days! Now, there's dozens of choices for everything from binders and pencil pouches to markers and backpacks. This year, I've delayed the inevitable so don't be surprised if you see this chick in a store on Labour Day weekend looking as dazed as some men do on Christmas Eve. As we send our students back to the classroom, remember to slow down and enjoy the scenery, watch for school buses carrying our precious cargo, and thank a teacher – they've earned it! I'd love to hear from you. My e-mail is diane@ ossekeag.ca. 0032

SUSSEX PATHFINDERS/RANGERS UPDATE WOW, what a trip we had. The 1st Sussex Pathfinders/Rangers and their leaders want to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the people of Sussex and surrounding areas and to all the local business who helped us along the way. To the parents of the
girls, we certainly could not have done this without your continued support; and to Girl Guides of Canada for helping make this trip possible. Also, thank you to the girls themselves, you certainly worked hard for this
trip and you all make great travelling buddies. The sights and sounds of London and Paris are hard to describe and are both beautiful places to visit. But, there is certainly no place like home. 3075

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS
Junior Achievement of New Brunswick is currently looking for adult volunteers in Hampton for the 2014-2015 Company Program, to be held at Hampton High School beginning on Wednesday, October 15. The Company Program inspires high school students to understand the role of business in our society by creating an enterprise of their own. By collaborating with professional volunteer consultants to design, organize and operate a real business, students experience how a small enterprise functions. These new entrepreneurs work within the structure of our Canadian economic system and realize the benefits it provides. Last year, over 20 Hampton High students formed a new JA company, ‘Biz Kidz’, and realized sales of over $1,700 in just 18 weeks, selling a product of their own design. The students achieved this success and experienced a tremendous amount of personal development under the guidance of volunteers from the Hampton community. The 2014-2015 JA Company Program will be held on Wednesday nights for 20 weeks (October to March) from 6:00-9:00pm at Hampton High School. To become involved with Junior Achievement all you need is a basic knowledge of business and a desire to help teenage entrepreneurs realize their potential. To volunteer, or to seek more information about JA programs, please contact Dave Evans, Regional Manager, at 455-6552 or via email at jastj@nb.aibn.com. 3070
Twenty-eight years ago local educators asked the Food Basket to run a Headstart for pre-Kindergarten children; so that children from low income and single parent families would have the same opportunities and skills as other children on entering school. This September we have some openings for young children who will be four years old by the end of December; there is no fee for this service and the classes run from 9:30am to 12:00noon on Wednesday and Thursday mornings at the Hampton United Church, during the school term. Qualified staff are on hand and the children have a lot of fun while learning the basic skills that will have them comfortable with a schoollike system. The classes are open to single parent and low income families, those interested may apply to Therese Furlong, 832-7555. Registration will be on Thursday, September 4 between 10:00 and 11:00am at the Church. The children’s proof of immunization will be needed at this time; classes start on September 10. The Food Basket is greatly indebted to the United Church, their support over the last 28 years has been phenomenal. 0029

Make homework a breeze (NC) – Often for families, homework can be a struggle. Who said it has to be that way? With a few tips, you can help make homework smoother so you both can enjoy school nights without homework hassles. Firstly, taking a short break after class is important to aerate the neurons. After a day at school listening to teachers, kids need a reboot. However, don’t wait too long. An hour should be plenty, unless they go to daycare, in which case no break time is required. Why not give them a light healthy snack when they get home from school while mentioning that right after it will be time to do their homework? Over time they will develop the habit and you won’t even have to mention anything. It could make all the difference in the world as they get ready for high school. Secondly, the workspace is crucial. It’s not easy for kids to concentrate when there’s action around or if the TV is on. So it’s best to dedicate a space for homework, whether in an office or in their bedroom. The important thing is to have a bright,
organized workspace, without too much distraction. It should be inviting, comfortable, and have everything they need such as pencils, highlighters, paper, etc. You can find these items at great prices in big box stores like Target. Kids should
Proud to support the th 29 Annual Balloon Fiesta
be encouraged to maintain this space clean, so that when they sit down their brain automatically switches to learning mode. And it is much more efficient than trying to do homework on the corner of a kitchen table.

FRESH WITH FOOD by dave wolpin SURVIVAL OF THE HARDEST With heart disease as one of our leading killers, it is an obvious and justifiable impeller of many people’s health kicks. However, in reality, if your diet is poor enough to develop heart disease, you have undoubtedly already endured a decade of other health problems you may not have considered to be related. Many of us do not appreciate the interconnectedness of our body functions. Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of heart disease once it is developed, but in its early stages it causes a host of other issues throughout our body. Atherosclerosis is far from simple but in as few words as possible, it is the hardening of the arteries resulting from a buildup of fatty plaque and eventually leads to the inflammation of the arteries. The danger is that while Atherosclerosis affects the entire artery tree. Eventually, it is too late and the plaque ruptures, causing a thrombus (blood clot) and you have a
heart attack or if it happens in your brain, a stroke. Chronic lower back pain is extremely common in our population. Dr. Michael Gregor argues that “atherosclerosis can obstruct the arteries that feed the spine and this restriction in blood flow can cause lower back pain. [This is because] the disks in our lower back are the largest avascular tissue in the body, meaning that they have no blood vessels, so the nutrition has to diffuse in from the edges, so they are particularly vulnerable to nutrient deprivation.” According to Gregor, this starts in our teens and in his lecture, From Table to Able, he references studies that show lumbar disc degradation as early as age eleven in those that eat the standard american diet. Our modern western medical system looks to pills to solve our health problems because our society has collectively perceived the adoption of a healthy diet and lifestyle to be too difficult to achieve. With the popularity of viagara, apparently, we don’t want to eat healthy, even to
achieve an erection. What is interesting is that a male’s ability to obtain an erection depends on the body’s ability to circulate blood. Impotence is a symptom of atherosclerosis. It all stems from the same disease, the clogging of our body’s circulation system. And since abdominal obesity aka beer/pot belly has now been linked to high levels of estrogen in our diet, it has never been so manly to sit down for a big greasy meal. A pot bellied man who is impotent is way too normal. If this rubs you the wrong way, step back and consider that this is completely within your power to change. People do it every day and there is no shame in renewing your enthusiasm for life, healthy functional life.Impotence is a serious issue we need to stop sweeping under the bed. 0039

Does back-to-school mean a CELL phone for your child? (NC) Your child is asking for a cell phone on her back-to-school list. She’s only in primary school but “everyone has one!” While there’s no ‘magic age’ to get a phone, a 2013 MediaSmarts* survey found that 52% of students in Grade 7 have their own phone. If your child travels on his or her own and you need to be able to stay in touch, even if it’s only for emergencies, it might be time. If you do equip your child with a phone, you’ll want to teach him or her how to use it responsibly. Here are a few tips from Rogers on how to set your child up for wireless success: • Set rules. For example, you may want to instruct your child to keep their wireless phone in their backpack during school hours, to reduce the odds of it being stolen, or to avoid using it while their full attention is needed. Let them know the dos and don’ts up front. • Set usage limits. Children can easily become engrossed in their devices. Establish clear rules around how and when
their phones or tablets have to be off. • Let them know if the phone is purely for emergency purposes. You can also limit their phone usage to text messages only. You may choose a light usage plan, or even a family share plan to stay within your budget. • Explain wireless internet isn’t unlimited. Give them an idea of how many calls and texts, as well as how much web-surfing
they’re limited to, in order to stay within your data allowance and budget. Rogers has a free online calculator that can help. • Consider sharing the cost. Some parents purchase a prepaid wireless phone, and then make it the child’s responsibility to pay for the airtime used. Alternatively, others add the child to their own wireless phone contract on a family plan and then have the child pay for any “extras”, such as ringtones, games, and so on.

Get your kids excited about returning to school (NC) – One way to ease children out of summer fun and into the idea of returning to school is to take them shopping for the things they like. Most kids already have an idea about what they consider trendy and what fits their personality, so involving them in the process can help create enthusiasm for the upcoming school year. They will be happy to make their own choices and to express their creativity while feeling proud and confident about their new outfits and gear. Of course, your judgment is required to ensure comfort and durability. But when everyone prefers to be outdoors in the sunshine, shopping is only fun if we can save both money and time. One-stop shops are the answer, says the enthusiastic management at leading retailer, Target, as they point out their broad assortment of national brands, at lower prices. For parents time and money is saved by finding everything under one roof. Colours, shapes, and movie characters
Simple things like Involving you children in the school Shopping gets them excited for the year ahead and eases them back into the school frame of mind. are good stimuli for kids. Those visuals activate their imagination and help to spark their interest. This year, Ninja Turtles, Hello Kitty, Transformers and

WELL RESTED by angie cummings CAFFEINE AND SLEEP As I was standing in line at the award winning Tim Horton’s this morning in Sussex, I saw many familiar faces. We queue up every morning for what many call the “nectar of the gods”- coffee. We enjoy the heat of the drink, the aroma, even the comradery of having a cup of Joe and chatting with friends. But the real draw of coffee, and the reason we are all at this coffee shop so early is for the caffeine jolt that we are eagerly anticipating. The discovery of coffee is attributed to a 13th century goatherder in the highlands of Ethiopia who noticed that when his goats ate these particular berries, the goats became very spirited and would not go to sleep. The monks at the nearby monastery began to make a drink from the berries and it kept them awake for many hours of evening prayer. By the 15th century the coffee trees were being cultivated in the Arab
countries and were becoming a valuable trade commodity. Coffee’s use spread to Europe and it was not long before most cultures were trading and using coffee as a major part of their economy and diet. The most expensive coffee in the world is produced in Indonesia. A cat like creature called Civet searches in the woods for the very ripest berries on the forest floor. It eats the berries but cannot digest to seeds so they come out the other end of the Civet whole. These seeds are sifted out of the cat’s poop, rinsed and dried. You can pick up a pound of this luxury item for $635/ lb, or $80/cup (by appointment only, cream and sugar not included). I Think I’ll pass. It was of course the caffeine in the coffee berries that kept the goats and the monks in Ethiopia awake. The average North American consumes about 200 mg of caffeine a day and it comes from many sources including coffee, tea, energy drinks, chocolate and even some
medications. So how much caffeine is in your morning drink? Well, a small coffee has about 100 mg of caffeine. A small tea has 50 mg. Your decaf coffee still has 6-15 mg in it. So how about that extra-large black that I drank this morning? 240 mg of caffeine. Yikes! It appears that morning coffee does not affect your sleep at night, but coffee taken in the afternoon does. Caffeine can stay in your system up to 11 hours after ingestion, so your afternoon coffee pick me up may be affecting your quality of sleep or causing insomnia. So enjoy your morning coffee, but after lunch switch to something a little less jitter inducing like water. You’ll sleep much better for it! 0046 Angie Cummings, BSc RRT, Sussex Sleep Clinic

IN THE GARDEN by betty kennett FALL FROSTS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER BE PREPARED! With the beneficial rains that we have enjoyed throughout the gardening season, the bounty of vegetables has been impressive; if we are to get the greatest reward for all the toil that has been put into growing them we need to be harvesting and storing before Mother Nature wreaks havoc! Large green tomatoes can be taken in before frost; by placing them on newspaper lined plastic bread trays and covering them with another layer of paper, they will slowly ripen, affording a lengthy and continuous supply of ripe fruit. Tomato plants can also be dug up just prior to frost, hung by their roots in a cool cellar; they will produce ripe fruit until Christmas. When harvesting potatoes care must be taken to deal with those that have green shoulders... a result of not being hilled up properly... these have the potential of causing Spina Bifida from the toxins produced and should NEVER be eaten by expectant mothers. Most root vegetables store well in a cold room, preferably tucked into wood shavings, onions can be carefully dried away from strong sunlight and braided into attractive strings, great decoration for the kitchen and handy for snapping off for the stir fry etc. This is a great time to collect seed from favourite plants, these should be hung from their stems inside a brown paper bag in a cool, airy, dry locality when the seed fall out of their casings and are totally dried they should be labelled and stored in paper envelopes ready for swapping and planting next spring. Dahlias, Gladioli and other such bulbs and tubers can be left to experience the first ‘killing’ frost but should then be dug up and slowly dried out, at that point excess foliage needs to be removed and they too can be stored in a dry cool location in peat moss or wood shavings; all ready for the early spring planting which is sure to be a reality next year! By now most ponds have produced far more growth than is good for them, ideally a pond should have at least one third of its surface uncluttered by vegetation, all pond weed should be removed, it will
turn up next spring with great eagerness and most of the plants in the ponds will benefit from a bit of thinning out. All of this activity will provide ample space for frogs and toads to become as amorous and productive as possible, perhaps a suitable selection of music as you enjoy the final BBQ’s of the season will aid them in their endeavours and we will all reap the benefits next year of an army of their
progeny scoffing the mosquitoes and their kin; sadly we can no longer depend on the wee brown bat for their services! Blessings, Betty. 0038 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

MUSINGS by debbie hickey TO BE A KID AGAIN We recently spent a few days in PEI with our daughter and 8 year old granddaughter. It is SO much more convenient to get there with the bridge. No more sitting in line at the ferry terminal for hours and hours in the hot sun, trying to keep two antsy kids entertained in the days before mobile electronic toys. Now it could even be a day-trip. The kid had a blast! Of course the visit entailed multiple visits to the two Cavendish theme parks, lots of eating and swimming daily . . . how could she not? She loves the water, loves mussels and several straight days of Grumpy time just puts the icing on the cake. Soon enough she will no doubt consider herself too old for family vacations, so we enjoy it while we can. This year she even enticed her
mother to go on the ferris wheel with her, and someday she will realize what a sacrifice that was. The things we do for our kids! But they both LOVE the roller coaster and I can recognize that scream anywhere! We followed up vacation with (what else) school shopping. Again, the kid had a ball choosing her new “stuff ”. We have had to stash it at my house to keep it all together as she would have it out of the bookbag to admire several times every day if we did not. She can’t wait for school to start. I too was always eager to get back to school.
