The Hampton Herald

I have been thinking!! Well, thinking may be a bit too strong to describe what I have been doing. Oooh . . . I know . . . I have been MUSING, you know . . .. kind of rambling around not using much brain power. So, I’m just musing around figuring I should do one of them there New Year thingies . . . a resolution. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, up until now, I couldn’t quite grasp onto something that I really felt needed to be changed. However!!! . . . I have spent so many hours going backwards on a tractor while blowing snow, that my face now permanently looks down at my butt. And that’s just not pretty!! Butt, I am not going to sit here and complain . . . no siree . . . This continent was built on millions of people migrating from one country to another and then migration from east to west. New Years resolution # 1 . . . Mikie is migrating south . . . right NOW!! Oops no passport. No problem. I am betting that there are hundreds of proud tractor owners who are very bit as fed up as Mikie. So, what are we going to do?? Do a google search for C.W. McCall and “Convoy” and you

can find music and video about a 1978 trucker movie, where truckers in big rigs just keep smashing through police line after police line. Now, one would think that a smart country like the US of A would welcome a few hundred proud but freezing Canadian tractor owners with open arms. It would be dead simple to identify the real McCoy . . . “Okay , lineup and show your farmer’s tan. Hey, we got one of those yuppie KUBOTA owners over here!” If, however, common sense does not prevail at the border, we’ll just have to pull a “Convoy” and smash our way through (I want to play Kris Kristofferson). So what is the best possible outcome for the Mikie Convoy to warmth and freedom from snow removal?? I figure we might be somewhere in southern Maine by mid-June. Perhaps in retrospect, it might be easier to just resolve to stop smoking, stop drinking, lose weight and exercise. 0001 Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her,” Honey, can you hear me?” There was no response. He moved a little closer,” Honey, can you hear me?” Still no response. Finally he moved right behind her and said,” Honey, can you hear me?” She replied, “For the third time, Yes!”

Relationships and Hearing Loss

There are millions of people from all walks of life burdened by hearing loss; however, they do not seek help. Yet, when one member of a family has a hearing problem, it affects the entire family. It changes lifestyles and the quality of life. A major complaint among couples and families, without regard to hearing loss, is the breakdown of communication. Families ﬁnd it increasingly more difﬁcult to talk with one another and hearing loss exacerbates this problem. The inability to properly communicate with a spouse, family member or friend places incredible strain on relationships. Not only do misunderstandings occur, but often people become annoyed, frustrated, and even angry. The quality of a person’s life is often associated with relationships, especially with loved ones and friends. No one wants to feel alone. Being able to understand and communicate with loved ones is critical to keeping and cultivating healthy relationships.

FResH WitH Food THE BENEFITS OF MISO Every once in a while a product really catches our attention here at the market. Lately that product has been miso. What’s miso? The chances are good that if you have ever sat down for sushi in a restaurant you have had a bowl of miso soup. Miso is a paste made of fermented soybeans and grains that originates in Japan. The soybeans are aged and fermented for years (literally, years!) and during this process the soybeans “undergo a total biochemical transformation in which virtually all of their complex protein, carbohydrate, and lipid (oil or fat) molecules are broken down into readily digestible amino acids, simple sugars and fatty acids. Most important, the process of leisurely fermentation unfolds a panorama of delicious new flavours and aromas.” (traditionmiso.com/020~Miso_ Facts) Not only does the natural process of fermentation create a very flavourful and nutritious food, it also breeds some truly hearty bacteria who, after surviving for

years in the presence of salt, are ready to go to work in your small and large intestines to aid digestion. To weird to eat? No way! Healthy bacteria are the key to health as they help our bodies break down food (complex carbs, fats and proteins) into their more easily absorbed parts. These probiotics don’t survive high temperatures, for this reason it is really important to buy a high-quality, unpasteurized miso. Want another great reason to add miso to your diet? It’s loaded with Vitamin B12! This is one of the 8 B-vitamins that has a crucial role in your diet - it’s a water-soluble vitamin that pays a vital role in the normal functioning of your brain and nervous system. It is also a key vitamin for reducing and managing stress. The interesting things about this vitamin is that neither plants nor animals make it… microbes do - making miso a great source! The miso we stock at the market is an incredible product called “Tradition Miso.” It is an unpasteurized miso that comes in 4 delicious flavours: Mellow Brown Rice, Brown Rice, Barley and, Chickpea.

FACE CANCER WITH CONFIDENCE Patients can register for upcoming workshops by calling 648-6885

The Hampton Herald

The entire production of Tradition Miso, from start to finish, is done by the owners Jerry Lewycky & Suzanne Cardinal in Claremont, Ontario. They ferment their organic soybeans in huge, hand-made wooden barrels for two years using large stones to squeeze the miso. All ingredients they use are certified organic. This is the kind of product we can really get behind! Using miso is really simple. A basic soup broth can be made by combining 1 cup of hot water (just before or after boiled - so that it doesn’t kill all the healthy bacteria!) with 1 tablespoon of brown rice or barley miso. You can pour this broth over a bowl of rice and greens (such as spi na ch , bok choi, tatsoi, cabbage, etc) or just eat/drink it as. Miso is delicious paired with garlic, ginger, maple and lots of other flavours. 0039 Dave Wolpin Kredl’s Corner Market

Look Good, Feel Better workshops are held on the third Monday of each month from 1:303:30pm. This program is geared towards patients experiencing skin and hair changes due to radiation and/or chemotherapy.

listen in CREATING YOUR NICHE I have been flirting with the musical world since I was 13 years old. First, as a wanna-be pop star, country star. It changed throughout my teens with each new and exciting artist I discovered. My Dad said I had more of a country voice. Thanks Dad! Truth is I just didn’t have the chops to make a respectable career out of it. I found myself through various circumstances getting involved with the business of music; behind the scenes promoting, booking and eventually co-owning a record label and artist management company. Now all these years later with decades of experience, small victories and too many heartbreaks to mention under my belt in the music biz, I wonder how an independent local recording artist is going to make a go at it career wise. Is it even possible anymore? It’s all about creating your niche and building a dedicated audience one by one. I asked a few local recording artists that I feel are making a real move

to building a sustainable a career (not necessarily becoming a big Rock Star!) out of their music what they feel will help them achieve that dream? Here is what a few local rising stars had to say! “I pursue strategic alliances and connectors both within the music community and beyond in order to build relationships that value the music and varied streams I offer as a writer, arranger, educator, composer, and performer which one trusts will produce revenue that grow my artistry and career.” Stephanie Mainville www.stephaniemainville.com. “We are learning how much goes into creating a sustainable career. One thing is to take on as much of “the business” as we can now so we really understand what goes into it all. We are starting to figure out that it goes beyond the music. Mainly, we are creating goals and working toward them steadily. Also, having a loyal team that believes in your music as much as you do is extremely helpful!” Lisa Mclaggan - Tomato/Tomato www.facebook.com/ TomatoTomato.SJ.

“For me a ‘career’ as a performing artist is a matter of right perspective. Paying my bills while doing what I love… anyone can understand that I think. But this is a strange business… artistry requires authenticity but the business demands good PR and the industry forgets you in five minutes. So I believe longevity lives in crafting songs that resonate more deeply than in my singing of them. Performing is my first musical love but it’s all about the song in the end and if I'm lucky I get the chance to ride along wherever the songs take me - and the rent gets paid too.” Mike Biggar www.mikebiggar.com. There is lots of great local music. Let’s go out there and support it. You never know, you may be witnessing first hand the next big thing in your own backyard! 0041

AsK tHe CHeF CHOCOLATE IN NEW BRUNSWICK Colin Sifton from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering here with another answer to your questions. It is Valentine’s day and we know what that means. It is the biggest day of sales for chocolate. I thought I would talk about chocolate, where it started and what New Brunswick has done for the chocolate industry worldwide. Chocolate is the fermented, roasted, and ground beans of the Theobroma Cacao. It can be traced to the Mokaya people where they created a chocolate beverage dating back to around 1900 BC. That’s right, another 4000 year old food that I am talking about. The Aztecs used chocolate as gifts to the gods and valued it so much that it was used as currency. Chocolate was served as a bitter, frothy liquid, mixed with spices, wine or corn puree. It was believed to give the drinker strength. Spain was the first to bring chocolate back to Europe, where they added sugar to it in the 16th century. It was something available only to the ruling class but eventually made its way down to the common people. By the 20th century it was a staple available everywhere and was found in all ration kits during the world wars. Over two thirds of the world’s chocolate comes from Africa, most of it coming from the Ivory Coast. It is a commodity traded on the world market and therefore can change in value at any moment. The most common form of chocolate that we know is the chocolate bar. It is made up of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, milk and sugar. Did you know that Ganong’s in St Stephen, New Brunswick was the

first to invent the chocolate bar? Pal-OMine was the first individually wrapped chocolate bar. The story I was told was that Arthur Ganong enjoyed fishing and had the chocolatier create a wrapped version of his favourite chocolate treats and make it in two separate pieces so he would not have to eat all of one at a time while fishing. Often he would share with whoever was with him and named the bar pal-o-mine because one piece for me and the other for a pal of mine. Sounds like a good story. Chocolate bars are sold all over the world and come in many different shapes and varieties but it was here in New Brunswick where it all started. Now since it is Valentine’s, and I am on a New Brunswick proud rant, another invention by the Ganong’s is the heart shaped box of Chocolates. It was first introduced in North America by the Ganong’s for the Christmas season as a marketing tool and soon moved to Valentine’s Day because of the heart shaped symbol. The Heart shaped box can be found everywhere during Valentine’s and it all started here in New Brunswick. So go out and get a heart shaped box of chocolates this Valentine’s not just to show your love, but your pride in what began in New Brunswick. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

Point oF VieW REMEMBERING DR. DAVE If you looked up the definition of compassion in the dictionary, I'm pretty sure Dr. David Salgado's name would be there. Despite his own lifelong battle with Cystic Fibrosis, the beloved family physician dedicated his life to the care and treatment of others. So, when he passed away in Toronto last month while awaiting a double lung transplant, it came as no surprise that news of his death hit the community hard. His practice was located in the Town of Hampton, but his patients came from near and far to see him. Over the years, he gained a reputation for being a compassionate doctor who truly cared about his patients. Dr. Dave, as he was commonly referred to, was known to go above and beyond the call of duty. It wasn't uncommon for him to call and check on his patients in the evening or on a weekend, and

he wasn't afraid to push for answers on their behalf. While he wasn't my physician, he was for several of my family members. I accompanied one of them to an appointment several months ago, where I met Dr. Dave for the first time. It didn't take me long to figure out why everybody loved him. First off, he was wearing cowboy boots and denim jeans. What better way to put someone at ease than to dress like they would? He was witty, kind and really took the time to ask all the right questions. I didn't know then that that would be the last time I'd see him, but he certainly left a lasting impression on me. He also left a lasting impression on those he knew and treated. Below are a few random quotes that filled my Facebook news feed when people learned of his passing. “Cystic Fibrosis took the life of the greatest medical mind I've ever known today. He was the kind of doctor who cared. Your presence is already missed, Dr. Dave.”

The most difficult thing for me is the loneliness. How can I ever overcome it? Because of the suddenness of being alone, the need for closeness, communication and companionship is very great. These needs surface just after a death when most people have little energy or desire to socialize. It is not uncommon that the loneliest folks of all are turning down invitations from friends because they are afraid to be in a crowd as a fifth wheel, or afraid they’ll cry at some inappropriate time, or simply don’t feel like getting dressed and going out. Refusing to isolate yourself is the first step toward overcoming loneliness. Forcing one’s self to be out among the living can have a number of rewards.

HAMPTON-PEAKS PEAK Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. The Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership has taken its annual “leap of faith”! The school year in Swaziland runs from January to December so, every year at this time, we must decide how many students to support in the upcoming year. And it seems every year at this time we look at our bank account and see we have enough money to pay school fees for only a fraction of the students we supported the year before. You should know that our committee comprises some very business-like individuals and everyone understands the concepts of budgets and bills to pay. So we spend a fair amount of time talking about future fundraisers and forecasting revenues. Then we start reviewing the list of potential students and hearing their stories: stories of dead or absent parents; teenagers as the head of their households caring for younger siblings; even a girl agreeing to have sex for money to pay for food and candles to study by.

The next thing we know, we have unanimously committed to paying school fees for 116 students at Peak Central and Fundukuwela highs schools – 58 girls and 58 boys. This is the most students ever! (Last year it was 104 students). Even the “business-like” people agreed to this even though our forecast of expected funds doesn’t meet our requirements. That probably isn’t the most business-like approach but it’s worked so far… and I guess that’s

what faith is all about. Every year there seems to be unexpected donations from charitable people or organizations that allow us to meet our commitments. To be clear, our committee takes a very business-like approach to managing the funds we receive from our donors. I believe the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is one of only a very few charities where one-hundred percent of donations go to our programs in Piggs Peak! But we always have to start up the stairs without quite knowing how we will reach the top. Over the next year I will be sharing stories about the people in Piggs Peak – many of them children living in abject poverty, having nothing more than a fierce determination to attend school and rise out of their current conditions. In sharing these stories, I hope you will be convinced join us on our climb up the stairs as we help them with their much more difficult ascent.

Ask a hundred people why they love their “better half ” and not everyone’s reasoning will be the same. The dictionary defines love as: an intense feeling of deep affection. It uses more words to define gravity than love. Gravity: the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. Gravity may hold the planets and the universe together, but love is what makes it worth living in and yet it gets so few words to describe it.

It’s what keeps people together, even though they’re different and don’t always agree. Yet, we continue to slander the one holiday that celebrates love. We say things like “It was made by greeting card companies.” or “I celebrate my love all year round, I don’t need a special day.” But, why not? We have a special day to celebrate a bountiful harvest before a long cold winter, even though most of us harvest nothing from the soil, and we could have an equally delicious meal any day of the year.

JUSTIN SMITH, FUTURE OLYMPIAN? Justin Smith has his sight set on the Olympic podium. And while representing his country as a member of the Canadian Equestrian Eventing team is a long-term goal, the 17-yearold Norton rider is well on his way to realizing this dream. At home on the back of a horse before he could even walk, Smith represented New Brunswick last July as a member of the North American Junior Young Rider team. With his horse Yahya, aka Johnny, Smith competed in Lexington, Kentucky, at The North American Junior and Young Rider Championships (NAJYRC), a premier equestrian competition for junior and young riders, aged 14-21. He placed an impressive 28th and is the only New Brunswicker to ever make the Canadian NAJYRC team in his discipline of eventing, which consists of three equestrian sports – dressage, cross-country jumping and stadium jumping. Under the coaching of former Olympian Ian Roberts, Smith’s success in the show ring continued to rise throughout the 2014 season with an incredible first place finish at the Richland Horse Trials in Michigan, followed by a fourth place finish at the Hagyard Midsouth Horse Trials in Kentucky. Smith has qualified to represent New Brunswick at the 2015 North American Junior Young Riders Competition which will be held from July 14 to 19 of this year. With no local competitions at his level, Smith now lives and trains at Dreamcrest in Port Perry, Ontario,

where he is a working student with owners and former Olympians Ian Roberts and Kelly Plitz. Here, Smith attends Grade 12 at Port Perry High School, works at the equestrian facility and rides and trains horses. During the summer months, he spends about 35 hours a week in the saddle. Competing at Smith’s level is very expensive. This is doubly so with equestrian sports since there are two athletes to train, house, transport, and feed – and one of them weighs more than 1,000 pounds. Smith has many supporters in his home town,

including his family, who run River Meadow Stables in Norton, but he is looking for more. He welcomes individual and corporate sponsors to help him reach his goals and put New Brunswick on the equestrian map. To see a video of Justin, google, (or search on youtube) JUSTIN SMITH EVENTING and watch this amazing 16 min NAJYR video.

MusinGs Going for my Tractor Licence Let me confess right up front, although I grew up on what most would call a farm I never learned to drive a tractor. True, my father sold the cattle the year I started school and after that the tractor was used only occasionally (woods work, our vegetable garden and such), but nevertheless there was always a tractor around the place. I did drive various “dune-buggies”, mostly created from old Volkswagens, but never a tractor. Not until this past weekend. With all of this snow Michael has been kept busy trying to keep the driveway passable. Now this is not an ordinary driveway. It is technically a laneway as there are several households (all family members) on it with us at the very end, about 1000 feet off the road. Being a great believer in preparedness, Michael has not one tractor with snowblower attachment, but TWO tractors with snowblower attachments. On this particular day last weekend, he had already cleared the driveway late the previous day so the morning trip out and back was just to clean up the extra 5-10 cm that came down after the storm was supposedly done. Since it was a cold morning, the “big” tractor wouldn’t start as it had not been plugged in overnight. No sweat, the little tractor (32 horsepower) could easily handle the job. True, it could. ‘Til it got stuck. So Mikie trudges back to the house (of course it got stuck out the far end, not close to the house) and requested my assistance while he hauled it out with the big tractor. I dutifully reminded him I had never driven a tractor, but he was confident I could handle the job. I am sure he had forgotten that I had already lost the charger for my phone and was busily tearing the house apart to find it (in my defence it does only get used about 4 times a year) - that’s one. And had managed to kill my digital camera such that it wouldn’t turn on or even charge - that’s two. I was just waiting to see what would be number three and I was afraid it might be his beloved tractor! But it wasn’t! Not only did I steer it out of the snowy hole it was buried in, I then drove it back to the house. Cool. This morning as I shovelled out the back deck to get to the bird feeders (and the shovel since it is normally left out there), then the garage door with the snow half of the way up the door, then my daughter’s

place, since the snow was half way up her door too and they were pretty much snowed in, then the heat pump, which altho’ it is rarely used I did not think should be completely buried in a drift, then my mother’s place (thankfully with the assistance of my brother since I was getting a mite tired of shovelling by this point), all the while listening to the sound of Michael running the tractor and snowblower, it occurred to me . . . maybe learning to

operate the tractor isn’t a bad idea. “A snowdrift is a beautiful thing - if it doesn't lie across the path you have to shovel or block the road that leads to your destination” ~ Hal Borland 0002
