RAVINGS by mike hickey HOHOHO & HUMBUG!
p.4 FRESH WITH FOOD p.13 Listen In P.15 ASK THE CHEF P.18 POINT OF VIEW
Published Bi-Weekly Next Issue: January 13th Deadline: January 6th
If you read that Musings thing by the missus near the back of this issue, you can probably guess that she kinda gets right into the Christmas thing. So of course, with the firm belief that every opinion deserves an opposite point of view, I say humbug!! “Don’t these lights over the window look great??” “Humbug!!” “Check out the evergreen arrangements!” “Humbug!!” “Got you a new tractor for Christmas!!” “HUMB... Hmmm, could that be possible?? HOHOHO!!... Merry Christmas, my dear” While tractors for Christmas could certainly make someone like me feel just great, are there other alternatives to bring about or honour the Christmas spirit? In other words, can we cut back on the presents for Christmas and spend time instead of money. Think of the benefits. Loads of fuel saved by not driving from store to store. Think how fat your wallet would feel in January, instead of a flat wallet, over-heated credit and debit cards. We could sail
through Christmas stress free, not worrying about a present for the person with everything!! (But a donation in their name to a charity of your choice would make a great alternative to more “stuff ”.) Every new movement needs a leader. And Mikie is that person .. so sorry dear, I returned that beautiful diamond necklace and of course that new car. But, look honey I cooked you a lovely pot of chili and cleaned up three days worth of pots and pans!! Isn’t this WONDERFUL??? Please reduce your stress and make time for family and friends. To everyone in the Ossekeag Family (Staff, Readers, and Advertisers), have a safe and very happy holiday. See you again in the New Year!! 0001

FRESH WITH FOOD by dave wolpin DRESS YOUR GREENS We have been duped into believing that salad dressing is something we need to buy. I Googled the ingredients of some commercial salad dressings and the first ingredients for most are soybean oil, high-fructose corn syrup and sugar and they all contain Calcium Disodium EDTA, which they claim is there to "protect freshness." Healthy salad dressings are sold without unhealthy oils, sugar or preservatives, but I feel that they are unnecessary, considering how simple and quick it is to make your own. With the abundance of greens available year-round at Kredl's, there is no better time to start making salad a daily part of your meal. The key is to dress it right. Homemade dressings take less than five minutes to make and since most salad dressings have a high vinegar content, they'll keep for weeks in your fridge. I recommend making a batch of salad dressing every three or four days, so you
can switch it up frequently to keep your taste buds excited. As a child I didn't find salad very tasty, so I always thought that people used salad dressing to make their salad palatable. I always thought it was silly for people to try so hard just to eat salad. Why not just have a bowl of salad dressing, right? Undoubtedly, I have since learned a lot about the importance of healthy food. I know that most of us do not eat nearly enough greens and they are definitely among the top three most important parts of our diet. In my opinion, most of our daily consumption should be fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and if you choose, meat a couple times a week. I have discovered that salad dressings actually have a purpose beyond just making salad taste better. The human body needs small levels of fats to absorb the nutrition from greens. In fact, in a study published by the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition, it was found that 10 hours after consumption,
nutrient levels in the bloodstream of those who eat salad with fat-free salad dressing were virtually non-existent compared to the levels in someone who ate the same salad with full-fat dressing. You also only need a small amount of fat with your salad to gain the benefits. The healthiest way to eat fat is from whole foods like nuts and seeds. Many salads are topped with a few cashews, walnuts or a tahini (ground sesame seeds) based dressing, which is perfect. Personally, a little toasted sesame oil or extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) are among my favourite additions to a salad dressing, but a tablespoon is more than enough. To find Dave’s favourite ingredients to make your own salad dressing find his article on: ossekeag.ca. 0039

USE YOUR CAR TO KEEP YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS.... 1. Quitting Smoking Do not unroll your front windows – at all – during the winter – (well except maybe through the drive thru, because that would just be awkward), and if your car has an ashtray, put it in the trunk. Smoking in your car without a window unrolled or without an ashtray will be next to impossible for your lungs and eyes to handle, plus there will nowhere to put it when you are done! Knowing that your windows will NOT be unrolled during your morning commute will help subside the craving (which, mentally lasts for only three minutes, physically for one). Relax and tell yourself that it’s only three minutes, and your windows simply won’t undo. 2. Taking off the Bulge This resolution is responsible for at least 90% of the unused gym memberships worldwide, but who says you can’t work out while you drive? Butt squeezes and thigh crunches are mindless tasks to complete while driving, and really, what else are you doing with your butt while driving, but sitting on it? Getting in some much needed ‘crunch’ time while driving will help you lose those pounds while you head to the kids’ hockey game! [And hey,
6
The Hampton Herald
while you are watching – squeeze those glutes at the rink too!] 3. Save Money Your car is the EASIEST place to save money, my brother saved over $2000 one year, simply with what we called ‘floor change’ when we were kids. [Dad used to throw his spare change on the floor for us to dig out when we wanted money for Maltesers or Jube Jubes. Take an empty soup can and give it a paper and elastic ‘piggy bank’ top by securing into place some cardboard, or plain paper – whatever is on hand – with an elastic. Voila! All of the drive thru change, and change in your wallet goes in here. Make a habit of emptying your pockets and wallets of change before you get out of the car for the last time at night in to your soupy piggybank and be sure to empty it in a BIG piggybank when it gets full. Never offer correct change! Keep those toonies and loonies as ‘floor change’ and throw it in the soup can instead of spending it! 4. Relax More Believe it or not, the biggest stress inducing factor in our lives right now is those little blue screens that contain so much information that we feel the need to absorb! Remember the days that you
weren’t interrupted while driving? You could groove to your pumpin’ music, or just kick back and unwind, enjoying the scenery? If your New Year’s resolution is to relax more – than use your car as a major conductor! DO NOT hook up that bluetooth when you get in, and turn your ringer off! Nobody lost a limb in the 80’s when you weren’t available in your car (unless you were the kids on Fresh Prince of Bel Air – those guys had a car phone in their limo!) Turning off your right hand while driving can be scary at first, but trust me, it soon will become absolutely liberating! You can’t keep a resolution, simply because you made it. You have to stay consistent with the drive and ambition to really achieve your goals! Hopefully these few car tips helped, and to everyone out there, don’t stress about promises to yourself just yet, enjoy your friends and family this season, and remember if you give back to just one person, you’ve made a difference! Jaymee Splude, Good Luck! Loch Lomond Mitsubishi

DIRECTOR’S NOTES by Lee Bolton DECEMBER AT IMPERIAL THEATRE Ah, Christmas. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." Wait a minute wrong occasion! No matter, I think it perfectly fits Imperial Theatre’s Christmas shows. Measha Brueggergosman’s mashup arrangement, “White/Blue Christmas” started me on the theme. Two old favourites performed by one of New Brunswick's own, a consummate performer who started her maritime tour in Saint John on December 3 and finishes it in St. John’s on Saturday, December 20. Theatre New Brunswick wraps up old, new and borrowed in their adaptation of "A Christmas Carol." Borrowing Charles Dickens’ classic story, the team of Caleb Marshall (book and lyrics) and
Michael Doherty (music and lyrics) are bringing the province a new take on the old miser who finally discovers the Christmas spirit. They are also bringing home a Saint John boy who got his start acting right across the street from us at St. Malachy's High School. Shawn Wright will be taking a star turn on the Imperial stage as Ebenezer himself. Another group of old friends will bring traditional Maritime holiday cheer to our stage on Thursday, December 18. The Barra MacNeils will be warming up the house in a concert of seasonal songs new and old, keeping the Celtic in Christmas and the party in the kitchen. Metaphorically, at least. For 27 years, "the Barras" as everybody calls them, have been touring with their music. They bring a bit of Cape Breton to the rest of Canada, and a bit of Canada to the rest of the world. I expect there will be a few misty eyes in the room.
That's Imperial's contribution to the season - shows we're bringing to town that we hope will keep spirits bright. Oh, and to avoid the "Christmasis-over-but-the-kids-are-home-forAGES-yet Blues" we have Dufflebag Theatre's "Cinderella" on Saturday, December 27 at 1:00pm. An old story with a new twist - they borrow audience members to be the stars! I'm Lee Bolton, Executive Director of Imperial Theatre. It's my job to search out great shows to put on our beautiful stage, and my joy to tell people about them.

Children in grades 4 through 6 are being invited to join a Hackmatack Book Club at their local public library and to participate in the Hackmatack Children’s Choice Book Awards. “The Hackmatack program is a fun and educational way to support families and lifelong learning,” said Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Minister Francine Landry. “Programs like this have a positive impact on youth and complement our government’s plan to develop a comprehensive literacy strategy.” Hackmatack Children’s Choice Book Awards is an Atlantic Canadian initiative involving libraries, schools and bookstores. Awards are given in four categories: English Fiction, English Nonfiction, French Fiction and French Nonfiction. Each year, selection committees comprised of library staff from New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, nominate 40 Canadian books as candidates for the awards. The nominated books are available in New Brunswick public libraries. Public libraries host Hackmatack Book Clubs and also work with some New Brunswick public school teachers to offer the program. The program runs through the school year and concludes in the spring. Participants have until December 31 to join a book club. “Our libraries are engaging young readers by giving them the opportunity to read the nominated books, discuss the books they have read at book club meetings, post their

DAIRY ZONE SENIORS’ NEWS December 1, 2014 became a very special day, whcn 50 members from the Dairy Zone Seniors travelled to the Belleisle Community Centre to enjoy a turkey dinner prepared by the ladies of the community. President Carl Fowler welcomed everyone and member Lynn Allaby asked the Blessing before the meal was served. After the very ample meal and a delicious dessert, Russell Webster thanked the ladies in the kitchen for their work on our behalf. Russell then introduced Theresa Hickman from
Knightville. Theresa is a music teacher and with her Yamaha Keyboard, she began playing and singing some of the older traditional Christmas Carols. Some of theresa’s favourite songs are found in an old hymn book which had a wooden cover and the pages were held together with twine. Her rendition of “Star of Bethlehem” was very inspirational and following this song, there was a lovely participation by all club members when everyone joined in singing “Silent Night”. Then, Tim Jefferies, a member of the Norton Golden Nuggets, gave a solo performance of the beautiful song “White Christmas”. This song was written by Irving Berlin in 1940 and it has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. Tim certainly proved it is still very popular today.

The last song by Theresa and Tim as the beautiful song titled “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. This song has become one of the favourite Christmas songs of all time and it originated in England in the 16th Century. Traditionally, in that era, the wealthy people in each community went out carolling on Christmas Eve and gave poor families pudding cakes as a special gift of the season. The song is one of the few English Carols that even mentions a New Year’s celebration. As everyone left for home many good wishes were exchanged and we all extend special thanks to the Norton Golden Nuggets for making the arrangements for this Dairy Zone event. Respectfully submitted, J. Hill, Dairy Zone Secretary. 3279

WE DAY ATLANTIC CANADA “We Day Atlantic Canada”, Halifax NS, highlights some of the greatest social issues of today and provides the young people in attendance, and tens of thousands more watching the event streamed live, ways in which they can find their place within the movement to create global change. This year, “We Day Atlantic Canada” on November 28, engaged and inspired 8,000 students from over 300 schools to take action on local and global causes that are important to them.

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG? I have always had a love and curiosity for Christmas and holiday music. The good, the bad and the just plain strange, LOL. I make a point every year to discover new seasonal albums to add to our expansive collection here at home. A couple new songs I’d like to introduce you to include my friends in Bill Wood and The Woodies and their new instant holiday classic “I’m Goin Home”. Another one I just discovered is Paul Kelly’s brilliant “How to make Gravy.” I also asked a few cool folks in our community about their favorite and most memorable Christmas song. Sadie Donahue - "River by Joni Mitchell.” Not very Christmas-y, but I've always liked it and how she describes how she feels.” Brent Mason - “Fairytale of New York by The Pogues.” “Because it manages to uplift while being quite tragic - as only the Irish can!”
Megan Toner – “Christmas to Remember by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.” “My mom has had a copy of their Christmas CD since before I can remember; it doesn't feel like Christmas to me until I hear it played!” James Mullinger – “Agreed! The entire Kenny and Dolly Christmas album is my favorite album of all time!” Cynthia Liberty – “Old Toy Trains by Nana Mouskouri.” “ I hear it and it instantly teleports me back to being a little kid. I can hear the crackle from it being played on my parent’s record player and feel the magic and wonder that Christmas is.” Greg Belyea - "Baby, It's Cold Outside”, written by Frank Loesser and covered by just about everyone who has ever sung a duet. Not particularly a Christmas song but you only hear it around this season and I dig the back and forth and the tempo.” Jessica Rhaye - "White Christmas" - It's just doesn't feel like Christmas without snow... just a little . Margaret Mawhinney - “For me it was “New Star Shining”. “To me it is the True Story of Christmas that can be explained in about 3
minutes, so for me that is so powerful”. Claudette Norman - “I agree (with Margaret) that the message in that song is indeed powerful. My favorite is “There’s A New Kid In Town”. “For two reasons: I love the melody and I think our vocals are strong. And of course, Baby Jesus, Bethlehem… signifies hope, happiness… where it all began”. Rhonda Cusack - "One of my favorites is "Oh Holy Night" just because of the depth of melody and the warmth it makes me feel. Depending upon the vocal I am usually moved to tears..." Allen Scott – “I like Run Run Rudolph”... “because it… you know… rocks.” Claudette, Margaret along with Allen Scott make-up the musical trio “We Be 3”. I just profiled their new Christmas album on my CBC column. 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists

New Adventure
LACROSSE NB CLINIC
The game of lacrosse in New Brunswick is about to be taken to a whole new level thanks to a unique partnership between Lacrosse New Brunswick (LNB) and lacrosse superstar, Colin Doyle, Captain of the Toronto Rock. LNB recently signed a contract which will involve Doyle in a series of training camps run in the Saint John and Moncton areas from January to April and will be open to players from the Novice to Midget divisions from across the province.
s!
“The Lacrosse New Brunswick Program for Excellence” will allow children the opportunity to experience the game under the direction of local coaches with Doyle developing and guiding the program, attending sessions virtually to speak to the players and making four in-person appearances throughout the course of the training. He will also be present to personally coach the New Brunswick provincial teams at the 2015 Nationals in Whitby, Ontario. This is an incredible opportunity for local lacrosse players to develop their skills under the direction of one of the top players in Canada.
Volunteer Today!
We’re looking for someone to laugh, sing and play games for a couple of hours each week with our Sparks in Hampton.

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton Cod Cranberry Company which marketed the product as "Ocean Spray Cape Cod Cranberry Sauce.” Now today they are only known as Ocean Spray and are the largest cranberry producers in the world. There's a good reason why cranberry juice is recommended for urinary tract infections. In 1998, researchers at Rutgers found that cranberry juice prevents E. coli bacteria from sticking to the cells of the urinary tract, so it flushes out of the body in the urine. Cranberries also contain a potent vasodilator which opens up bronchial tubes, and is a good source of Vitamin C to help enhance immunity and aid in calcium absorption. It is one of those perfect foods. So how easy is it to make cranberry sauce? It really isn’t that difficult. Cranberries have a natural thickening agent so you don’t have to reduce too much and you do not have to add corn starch. So this is what I do to make cranberry sauce: 2 cups frozen cranberries, you can use fresh, but I prefer frozen; main reason is
CRANBERRY SAUCE Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Last time I wrote about stuffing/dressing, so this time I thought I would keep with the season and write about cranberry sauce. You can’t have Christmas dinner without cranberry sauce. We always make our cranberry sauce from scratch here at Holly’s and I will let you know before I am done how easy it is to make. A lot of people buy cranberry sauce but hopefully after this you won’t have too. Cranberry sauce was introduced by Native Americans to the pilgrims, who found cranberries to be a natural preservative. They would add it to dried meats to give it flavour. It was General Ulysses S. Grant who ordered it served to the troops during the siege of Petersburg in 1864, which made it a common condiment known today. Cranberry sauce was first commercially canned in 1912 by the Cape
because I don’t have to use the whole bag and throw half of it out. 1/3 cup of sugar. I prefer brown sugar but it doesn’t make too much of a difference if it is white or brown. 1 cup orange juice. Now you can use water or a different flavoured juice if you want. Bring to a boil and cook until the berries begin to split open and thicken. Set to cool and it will continue to get thicker. You should always taste as you go. If you think it is too sweet, reduce your sugar. Some people like to add cinnamon or cloves. My sister adds rosemary and some brandy to hers. It is tasty and unique to her but I like to keep things simple. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. Merry Christmas to you and your family and we hope to see you in the New Year.

POINT OF VIEW by diane mcmillan REASON FOR THE SEASON If you're still in denial that Christmas is almost upon us, just take a trip to the mall! That 10 minute walk from the far reaches of the parking lot warms just the heart doesn't it? And, once you're inside, it gets even more delightful. I have a knack for getting behind that one person in the checkout line who doesn't have a price tag on one or more of their items – price check! And, without fail, my vertically challenged self gets bumped into, butted in front of and even ignored all whilst hearing the blood curdling screams of someone's mini-me having a full blown temper tantrum in aisle 4. Yes, in case you haven't figured it out, I'd rather have a root canal than shop this time of year. Add to it the stress of getting ready for what has become the commercialized spectacle we call Christmas, it just isn't fun anymore. Whatever happened to the days when Christmas wasn't even thought about
until Remembrance Day had passed? I can remember a time when Christmas was about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The annual celebration revolved around church, concerts, carolling and spending quality time with family. Now, more than ever, it seems to have become about who can snag the most extravagant gift. And, that gift is often centred around the latest in new technology – smart phones, computers and televisions! Ironically, the very things that are meant to make communication easier, are often the reason we spend less time actually talking to each other. As much as the infamous ice storm of 2013 was a major inconvenience, I think it was His way of reminding us of what's really important. Being off the grid for several days forced us all to actually take a deep breath and focus on each other. There was a true sense of community that we hadn't witnessed in a long time. Everyone pulled together to help their neighbours, check on loved ones, open their homes to those without power and make the best of a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Pleasant Valley Realty
difficult situation. I didn't realize just how much I relied on satellite television, laptops and phones. Once myself (and thousands of others) were done our pity party, I was able to look back on the whole experience with humour. No, I didn't enjoy being without the luxuries, but I did enjoy not having the constant distractions that technology brings. I can't remember the last time I'd actually eaten by candlelight, talked to my daughter without a phone or computer in the way, or talked to family with no distractions. As we prepare to celebrate another Christmas with family and friends, remember the reason for the season, put down those phones and laptops, and enjoy one another. From my home to yours, Happy Holidays! diane@ ossekeag.ca. 0032

SANTA VISITS HAMPTON Main Street Hampton was a “happening place” on November 29, filled with children, young and old, as they enjoyed the many delightful entries in the 13th Annual Santa Claus Parade. This year the Jolly Old Elf was preceded by many imaginative floats, horses, dogs dressed in their holiday finest, enthusiastic dancers, walkers and singers, while the local Sea Cadets Band got everything off to a rousing start. This year’s parade had the biggest entries ever in the form of two CN trains that, while unexpected, certainly added to the excitement of the evening. Thank you to everyone who helped keep us safe as the trains passed through town. It would be remiss to fail to acknowledge the Town of Hampton Staff for the colourful display of Christmas decorations which added such a festive air. Thank you as well to the RCMP and the local fire departments for their participation. We also would not want to fail to mention Hampton Baptist Church and the Student Council at Hampton High School; both groups provided hot chocolate to warm us before and after the parade. Canada
Post workers were there as well to pick up letters to Santa, as they do each year. Service to the community was exemplified by members of the Hampton High Men’s Hockey Team who stepped up to collect donations to the Hampton Food Basket. Their endeavours resulted in four carts of food items which were delivered to the food bank shelves. Judges Mayor Ken Chorley, MLA Gary
Crossman and Rev. Kelly HudsonLewis had the daunting task of choosing recipients of the four awards from the many imaginative entries. In the end they decided that the Best Business Entry was Guardian Drugs, the Best Community Group was Kingston Youth, and the Most Creative Entry was Chorley Family Dental Clinic. The Judges’ Choice Award went to Hampton Fire & Rescue. Congratulations
To those who signed the petition for a stop sign. Response from the Town of Hampton: Moved by Councillor Bond and seconded by Deputy Mayor Doucet that the Town of Hampton maintain the yield sign on St. Paul Street at the intersection with Kennebecasis River Road, as the installation of a stop sign at this location would impede traffic flow and be contrary to the 2006 traffic study completed by ADI. It addition, it is recommended that a traffic engineer be retained to review the current lane markings at this location to determine if enhancements are warranted, as recommended by the Public Works Advisory and Utilities Commission. Motion Carried.

GENTLE PATH HELP FOR THE HOLIDAY BLUES Do you feel like everyone but YOU feels happy and content this Holiday Season? The truth is, more people have the blues at this time of year than at any other. Holiday stress is usually a result of two things: sky high expectations and heightened emotions. Past holiday memories (good or bad) can result in us trying to create the perfect holiday now, for ourselves and others. We rush around decorating, buying and cooking, and then wonder why we feel so let down. And if you’ve recently lost a job, a loved one, a partner through divorce, you may just feel empty and alone. It would be natural for you to want to sit this one out. Whether you’ve experienced a serious loss or you’re simply stressed out, the secret of surviving this time of year lies in seeing with perspective, and consciously making different choices: Here are some tips: “Under-promise and Over-deliver”: Lower your expectations of the Holidays - and of yourself and others. Stress results from expecting perfection, and it starts in our mind. With awareness, you can make more realistic plans, shorten your to-do list, and still feel successful. You’ll also have more energy and peace of mind. Refuse to over-schedule: Spreading tasks out over the week, and saying “no” to events that aren’t priorities creates more time and energy for rest or family. Stress is your body’s way of signaling that things have become too much, and because emotional stress increases when we are tired and drained, we may find ourselves over-reacting to little things more often.
Adding regular “down time” to our days where we practice self-care (i.e: go for a walk, eat well, get enough sleep, etc.) is a must to stay balanced. If you’ve experienced a major loss: Feel your sadness and grief. This will help you move through it more quickly. Although you may not feel joyful, concentrating on stringing small moments of peace, comfort and connection together can help you keep perspective and help protect you from the holiday blues. Cherish memories & build new traditions: With loss and life changes come alterations in family traditions. Keep only the rituals you truly enjoy, and focus on creating new memories with loved ones. Ask for help if you need it: If you try these tips, but still feel deep sadness, loss of energy, hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, problems sleeping and eating, or thoughts that life isn’t worth living, you may be severely depressed. We all have times when we are unable to cope. Reach out for professional help and keep perspective. In time, this too shall pass. 0008

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS After an advent candle was lit in church this Sunday, our pastor told us that Jesus Christ came to earth to bring light to the world - the light of life. “There will be no more gloom for those who were in distress… on those living in the land of darkness a light has dawned.” (Isaiah 9). I couldn’t help but think of the letter we had recently received from Nomfundo Metiso, a 16 year-old girl living with her family of 10 in her small home in Piggs Peak. She is attending Fundukuwela High School through our Starfish sponsorship program. In her letter she said “I want to thank you for your help… you took me from darkness to light.” Bev Harrison has just returned from Piggs Peak where he spent considerable time with the principals of Fundukuwela and Peak Central high schools evaluating students as possible candidates for our Starfish program.
Nomfundo Metiso

The Hampton Herald
Bev says the process was heartbreaking because there are innumerable bright young people with enormous potential but who live in the shadow of poverty and disease. The future of their very existence is uncertain as Swaziland has the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS of any country in the world… and the lowest life expectancy. A whole generation of parents has been virtually wiped out, leaving young children either fending for themselves or under the care of over-burdened grandparents. You could say they are living in a land of darkness. The many young people in Piggs Peak who lined up for an interview with Bev and the principals know that education is their best hope for a better future. They have gone back to their homes for now with a dream that they will become a “Hampton student” and receive that education that would otherwise be impossible. These dreams are a far cry from the “visions of sugarplums” that fill so many of our children’s heads here in North America. But children grow up quickly in a country where so many are in distress and constantly struggling to escape from the gloom. In early January, the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership committee will decide which students we will be supporting in 2015. That decision will depend on the funds that are available. And that depends on you. During this Christmas season please consider becoming a Starfish sponsor. For only $300 you can see to it that another student like Nomfundo will be able to attend school and realize her dream. You will be giving the gift of light.

This year’s theme, “Safety is no Accident – Spot the Danger,” was depicted in the colourful, animated float, specially designed to capture the attention of children, and remind them to be aware of their surroundings at all times. A member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, Abigail Godreau, 15, of Nauwigewauk, joined the float as a Safety Ambassador. She is well qualified to pass on the PLAYSAFE message as she has met children who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented. Abigail now works at spreading the message of “playing safely” to Abigail Godreau at the as many children as Moncton Parade. possible. 3267

Have you been suffering with pain at the bottom of your heel made worse in the morning or after getting up to stand on it after a prolonged period of sitting? Have you had numerous expensive orthotics made, tried all of the golf ball massage tricks, and had loads of therapy? Does it still hurt? We have a very successful strategy for dealing with plantar fasciitis. We utilize a special supportive taping technique, soft tissue modifications, and we work with the mechanics of the foot to allow the tissues to heel faster while keeping you active. It doesn’t matter how old you are or if you have failed other therapies in the past. We like tough cases and we don’t hesitate to take them on. Call us if you want the pain in your feet to stop.

CHRISTMAS KETTLE KICK OFF IN HAMPTON The Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign began in Hampton with the official Kick-off at Jamie’s Independent Grocer. The funds raised through the kettles help provide direct, compassionate hands-on service to hundreds of people each year, restoring hope and dignity to those who might otherwise remain invisible in society. Last year, the Christmas Kettles throughout our region raised $50,000 and Major Folkins said, “money remains in our area to support those in need. This year’s goal is $52,000. Please give generously to our Christmas Kettle Campaign. Your gift will bring joy and hope!”

KINGSTON LSD ELECTION UPDATE
and all the best in 2015 From Allan & the staff of Hampton Auto
548 Main St., Hampton
832-3421
On December 2, at Branch 62 Royal Canadian Legion hall in Moss Glen, the election was held for the Advisory Board, Kingston Local Service District(LSD). Voted in, by the Kingston LSD residents; for a 4-year term; were the following five members of the LSD Advisory Board. Chairman Glen Baxter - resides at Clifton Royal, the only Returned Member, serving two previous terms; Barry J. Walton - resides at Kingston Creek, has resided on Kingston Peninsula for most of past 50 years; S/Sgt Steve Gourdeau resides near the New Kingston Farmer’s Market, since 1999; Sea Captain Ted Shedd - resides near Whitehead Wharf, since 1980; Secretary Pat Rivers-Bowerman - resides on the Old Nail Factory Brook Road, since 1987. Your new Advisory Board got down to business and held its first meeting on Monday, December 8. Kingston LSD, which shares Kingston Peninsula with Westfield LSD to the south; is under the NB Provincial Government, along with other LSD's and Municipalities, as part of Regional Service Commission #9 ( there are 12 RSC's in New Brunswick ); also known as Fundy Regional Service Commission. Our Glen Baxter was also elected, as one of the four LSD Members, to the Board of the Fundy Regional Services Commission; the other five being Municipality Members. On the same Tuesday night Kingston LSD and Westfield LSD residents voted for, and approved by 94%, the purchase of equipment and training for Fire Department Off-Road Rescue, an increased scope for our Fire Departments, this will enable them to reach sick and injured patients in the deep woods; then, treat, stabilize and transport them safely out to nearest road, where the NB Ambulance Service ambulance is waiting. Currently it is up to willing, volunteering, LSD residents to get their hurt neighbours out of the woods, as NB Ambulance Service is mandated only as far in as the nearest road. So, many thanks to our folks who turned out and voted on this initiative. Kingston Peninsula Fire Service is provided by Peninsula Volunteer Fire Department (Chief Helen Comeau) PVFD - on the Kennebecasis River side and by Long Reach Volunteer Fire Department (Chief Randy Gowlett) LRFD - on the St John River side. Respectfully submitted, Pat RiversBowerman, Secretary, Kingston LSD Advisory Board. 3282

MUSINGS by debbie hickey IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER Am I ready for Christmas? Of course not. There is always more that can be done. But I am ready enough. There are sufficient decorations to make the house feel festive. The shopping is close enough to finished that I am not stressing over what remains to be done. The cooking, well that can wait until the last few days before the big day. If I do it too early there is too much opportunity for the goodies to mysteriously disappear before Christmas gets here. I do recall one year when the big ice-cream container of cherry balls had only a few lonely survivors in the bottom when retrieved from the freezer . . . Much as I enjoy the shopping for just the right gift for each person on my list, this year was the first that I made some of my Christmas purchases online. This is the modern version of the Sears
and Eaton’s catalogues of my youth. It went quite well, so I may utilize it again next year, but I actually find a printed catalogue much more satisfying and more likely to generate ideas. With a digital search I need at least a clue as to where to start, whereas with the catalogue I can go to a specific section and simply start turning pages til I see something that generates an ahha moment! But if I can my shopping started early enough, nothing beats wandering through a local shop and spying the one thing that is the perfect fit for someone on my list. As always, we are closed for the entire period between Christmas and the New Year so that all of us can fully enjoy the Christmas season. Much as we may love what we do, we all look forward to this downtime at the end of each year. To everyone in our Ossekeag family, thank you for a great year. It has had its ups and downs, we have seen many changes, we have celebrated together and we have
mourned together. The support you show each other is awesome and it is a privilege to work with such a fantastic group. To all of you I wish for a joyful holiday, good health, good friends, family with whom you connect and personal peace. Especially, Merry Christmas to Mike, our two lovely daughters and their families (especially the grand grandkids), my Mum and my brother Wayne, all of whom complete my Christmas. Miss you, Dad. “When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things - not the great occasions give off the greatest glow of happiness.” ~ Bob Hope. 0002
