The Hampton Herald

As I backed into my driveway the other evening after a busy day at work, I stopped and watched my neighbour’s daughter and her friend sliding down the hill across from my home and I listened to them laughing and having lots of fun. I spoke to them for a few minutes and then continued into my home. Watching and listening to them brought back lots of childhood memories I had of growing up in PEI, when I would go sliding with family and friends. On beautiful weekend days, we would meet after breakfast and go sliding for hours with our toboggans and crazy carpets, normally at a nearby hill next to a nursing home. Not only were we the only ones having fun, many times residents and staff of the nursing home would come out, talk to us and share stories of when they were young and went sliding. Time would pass and we wouldn’t even realize we had missed lunch. Nor would we notice how wet our homemade knitted mitts were that hung on our hands from being so wet, and that our mitts had all those little knobs of snow stuck to them. And of course there were the soaking wet snow pants and boots. We didn’t even notice we were cold, wet, and hungry because of the fun we were having. When we would arrive home tired from a fun day of sliding, my mother would make hot chocolate for us as we took off our wet clothing. Then my parents would sit down and listen to us tell them about how much fun we had that day sliding. Now fast forward to when my husband,

Robert, and I used to take our son, Matthew, sliding at Dutch Point Park. I recall Matthew’s first time sliding, he was about four. My husband took him half way up the hill and I waited at the bottom for him. Down came Matthew on his crazy carpet and all you could hear was him screaming at the top of his lungs the whole way down, “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH”!!! At the bottom of the hill, he jumped up and ran back up repeating as fast as he could, “can I do it again, can I do it again, can I do it again…” until he got back to his father, who put him back on the sled and pushed him back down the hill whereupon he screamed the whole way down and shouted the whole way up, “can I do it again, can I do it again, can I do it again…”. This pattern continued for the rest of the afternoon. When we went home Matthew pulled off his wet clothing while I made hot chocolate. We then cuddled in blankets, sipped our hot chocolate and listened as Matthew told us about his day sliding, as if we hadn’t even been there. From one generation to the next, some things never change. 0001

HAMPTON CURL FOR CANCER Come out for a day of curling, prizes, tasty refreshments and fun during the annual Hampton Curl for Cancer on Saturday, March 12 at the Hampton Curling Club. “It's going to be a lot of fun, said Alice Kennedy, one of the organizers of the event which raises money for the Canadian Cancer Society. “Please consider forming a team or making a donation to someone who is on a team. We all know someone fighting cancer.” This will be Mrs. Kennedy’s first year organizing the Hampton Curl for Cancer. Her husband, Bruce, who is a member of the Hampton Curling Club, asked her to help one night after a meeting at the club. She immediately said yes. “I had been active as a volunteer when our girls attended school in the community but that stopped when they graduated,” Mrs. Kennedy said. “The combination of my campaigning door-to-door for the Canadian Cancer Society and my rector David Turner encouraging us to be visible in the

community sealed the deal. I have a long history of organizing and really enjoy it!” Mrs. Kennedy also volunteers because she believes strongly in the cancer cause. “Needless to say I have had several very close relatives and friends lose their battle with the disease so funding for a cure is imperative!” All are welcome to participate. To register a team or for more information, please call Jill Russell at 634-6263. 3924

HAMPTON HISTORY FEBRUARYS PAST II 1. “Word was received here on Saturday last announcing the death of Charles K. Leonard, Jr., Ashland, Me. He was born in Gagetown, Q [Queens] Co., and was 45 years of age. His father, Charles K. Leonard, Sr., used to keep the Leonard Hotel at this place. The remains arrived here on the midnight train Saturday, and were buried Sunday in the Hampton Rural Cemetery. Rev. Allan Spidell conducted the services at the grave.” (KCR, February 16, 1906) [Note: The Leonard Hotel stood where Snow’s Hardware in more recent times conducted business.] 2. “The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Mrs. Robert Matthew, was celebrated in the Old Ladies’ Home, St. John, last night. The old lady is a native of Hampton Village, having been born February 13, 1806, on the farm now

owned by Stephen Fairweather.” (KCR, February 16, 1906) [Note: In today’s terms - 2016 - this would be the third house on the left as one passes the Ravine Road and travels towards Bloomfield on Route 121.] 3. “The Valentine Social, under the auspices of the ‘Day Star’ mission circle, which was held in Barnes’ Hall last Wednesday night, taking into consideration other attractions and the unfavourable condition of the weather, the amount raised, viz., $20, came fully up to the circle’s expectations.

The Hampton Village fire department was speedily on hand and the neighbours turned out with a will to assist in the removal of the furniture and subduing the flames, which not only had full possession of the the nice storey and a half cottage, the long ell and wood-house in the rear, but seriously threatened the Presbyterian church, which was separated from the flames by a narrow alley of but a few feet wide. When it became evident that the main building [Logan home] was doomed the chief efforts of the firemen and workers were centered upon saving the church building and with such success that the damage was confined to one corner and that of not much extent.” (TG, February 6, 1908) “In a brief but colourful ceremony, Hampton Branch No. 28 of the Royal Canadian Legion, presented a Union Jack and the Canadian Flag to the Kings County court room at Hampton… in memory of fallen comrades.” (ETG, February 24, 1976) CODE: KCR Kings County Record (published in Sussex); TG The Globe (published in Saint John); ETG Evening Times-Globe (published in Saint John). 0031

EMERGENCY MEASURES WINTER VEHICLE OVERNIGHT I had checked the snow advisory and the storm will arrive in Quispamsis in two hours. No problem, as the cross country route to Fredericton only takes one and a half hours in the summer. Lots of time! So started my twelve hour experience stuck in the backcountry of New Brunswick. I stopped and filled up my fuel tank. Always ensure you have more than half full tank to reduce the chance of water condensation and frozen fuel line. The snow started about twenty minutes into the drive. Not too bad but I was wondering why it had arrived early. I checked the CBC Fredericton station and learned that the snow had been falling for three hours and moving to southern NB. I had forgotten to check the weather for my destination. I barely made it past the blueberry fields on top of the route when the white outs started. I remembered that there was a clearing, just up the road on the left, during a

lull in the storm I found the clearing and pulled in, well off the road. No cell phone coverage and my HAM radio was back home in my charger. I moved into the back seat and reached over to grab my tote box of supplies. Yes, lots of snacks and water. All the other supplies, see previous article for the details, were there. Now grab the other tote and see what I have. A small shovel to help clear the exhaust pipe when I have to run the engine for heat and will be needed to clear the tires when the storm ends. A windup flashlight and radio will simply be recharged when exhausted. I am glad I took the Canadian Red Cross course last year and bought their First Aid Kit. Not very bright to have the kit and not know how to use it. Extra mittens, work gloves, scarf, space blanket, to keep in body heat and the large candle and matches in the coffee can for additional heat if needed.

Thank goodness that I do not have a flat. I forgot to replace the air pump I took out over the summer. Remember when I get out to replace items removed from the SUV. I waited and after a cold evening, I heard the welcome sound of the Department of Transportation plow approaching. I did not obtain the driver’s last name but was most appreciative of Steve who stopped to make sure I was ok. After tying on my tow rope, a gentle plow tug got me out of the snowbank and on the road. Nice to see that “Be Prepared - Not Scared” once again worked. 0039

LISTEN IN ETHAN ASH LOVES NEW BRUNSWICK Ethan ash is a twenty something singer/ songwriter making big waves in the UK and has recently been in the KV area enjoying our New Brunswick winter; snowshoeing, performing live and even making video’s. I met up with him the other day for a bit of a chat and we even went skating at the Q-Plex in Quispamsis. After all he never went skating before! What could go wrong? My daughter Sarah (thanks!) lent him skates and we hit the ice. It turns out he is a natural on the ice as well as writing infectious soonto-be pop hits! I was curious; how did Ethan develop this endearing relationship with us? “A lady from England called Lynne Nash had seen me play several times in the UK and sent some song links to a friend of hers who lives in Quispamsis, a lady called Mary Ann Johnson. Mary Ann subsequently visited England for a holiday and a surprise solo show was arranged for her: it was the first time Mary Ann and I met. Thereafter, both Lynne and Mary Ann became close friends. Mary Ann invited Lynne, my girlfriend

(Georgia) and myself to visit New Brunswick for several weeks in January 2015. It was a very special time, not least because I had to shoot a last minute video for a song I was releasing called ‘Chasing Your Love’. But most of all I realised that New Brunswick is a special place, populated by special people. I genuinely love the place and if I could I would spend a lot more time here. We returned in January this year. One year without New Brunswick was far too long.” Ethan told me enthusiastically. I wanted to know what some of his most memorable moments have been since visiting our lovely part of the world? “I know a lot of you guys get bored of the snow and the cold but I'm like a child when I come here as I've never seen so much snow and experienced cold like it. I’ve loved snow since I was a baby so it makes me happy. I snowshoed for the first time this year, made me even happier to be on snowshoes in the snow. I’ve been to numerous ice hockey games. I had never watched the game before coming to New Brunswick but

it's fair to say I love it: even got the shirt. I think one of my favourite memories from my trip this year was all the music stuff I've been able to do, for example being invited into CBC; playing a gig at Plan B in Moncton; doing an interview on the ice rink for “The Jeff Liberty Show” ( Jeff - I’m blushing) and getting to play down at AJ's open mic night. Oh. And of course, Tim Hortons. “I plan to return to New Brunswick in September to play a tour. I would love to include other areas of Canada so we’ll be working hard in the next few months to book gigs and make it happen.” Ethan elaborates on when asked about his much anticipated return!

FAMILY MATTERS BLOCKS, BOOKS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND MAPS Spatial skills - the ability to understand and mentally manipulate shapes and figures - is required in science, technology, medicine, sports and mathematics. Developing and strengthening children’s spatial abilities can be done through play in a variety of ways. 1. Use Spatial Language. The use of spatial words - words that describe the spatial properties of objects - help infants and toddlers to develop their spatial skills. Try using words such as big, small, bent, thick, empty, flat or round when playing with your children. 2. Use Everyday Opportunities To Practice. Spatial tasks are everywhere. Challenge your kiddos spatially by asking questions like: Will all those toys fit in that one box? Does the left shoelace go over or under? What shapes do you get if you cut a sandwich in half (lengthwise or crosswise)? 3. Use Construction Games.

Construction games challenge kids to recreate a design from a picture or model. The picture or model becomes the “blueprint" for the structure they build. At home, parents can use wooden blocks, play dough, Legos, logs, sticks, Tinker Toys, jigsaw puzzles and Tetris games to develop visual spatial thinking skills. 4. Use Maps. Most kids are ready to learn simple lessons about maps by the age of 3 or 4 years. Have your children interpret the map of Canada or the house floor plan. Use the map to have them show you where they live. Use the floor plan to show where the living room is in relation to their room. Older children may be able to handle more information. Use maps and floor plans to describe the distances between three or more points and your children’s relationship to those points. 5. Use Photography. Photography encourages kids to experiment with an object from different angles, distances and orientations.

6. Use Books. Parents can support their children’s spatial abilities by reading spatially challenging picture books. Spatially focused books examine scenes from various locations or perspectives using maps or detailed illustrations. There are many spatial books available for all ages, for example: Yellow Ball, by Molly Bang (ages 1-3); You Are Not Small, by Anna Kang and Christopher Weyant (ages 2-6); Follow That Map by Scot Ritchie (ages 3-5); Lucy in the City, by Julie Dillemuth (ages 4-8), and; Actual Size, by Steve Jenkins (ages 4-9). This week enjoy the parenting journey and find fun creative ways to help develop your children’s s p a t i a l reas oning skills. 0006 Anita Hofmann Occupational Therapist

ASK THE CHEF THE MAKING OF CORNBREAD Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I was away on vacation to the Caribbean last month and of all the food I tried, it was the cornbread that got most of my attention. Corn bread is a generic name for any sweet bread made with cornmeal. So when someone says “I make the best cornbread.” you should reply “which one.” Native Americans were using corn as food for thousands of years. It was introduced to the rest of the world, once the Europeans finally came over. They would take dried corn and crush it to add to most everything and one of these was bread. Cornbread is a popular item in Southern cooking, enjoyed by many people for its texture and aroma. Cornbread can be baked, fried or, steamed. Steamed cornbread is mushy, chewier and more like cornmeal pudding than what most consider to be traditional cornbread.

Cornbread can also be baked into corn cakes. So how do you make corn bread. Well as there are so many different versions as I said above, I will talk about how I make cornbread. You will need 1 cup of cornmeal 1 cup AP flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter, soft almost melted 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar. this just means to pack it down, not loose. 2 tbls honey 1 large egg 1 cup buttermilk ( you can also use whole milk) 1/3 cup frozen corn kernels. Now it is easy. Add all your dry ingredients together is a bowl; Add all the wet ingredients in a another bowl; Mix both together and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Place in a pan about 8 inch squared and

cook at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. remove and serve. Corn bread is always best served hot or warm. If you do not eat it all, you can reheat your cornbread by wrapping it in foil and placing it in a hot oven or microwave for about 30 seconds. You can also play with this recipe by adding other things to your cornbread. You can add cheese if you were having pasta or chopped jalapeños to give it some heat. You can add anything that comes to mind and I think this is what I like best about corn bread. It is so versatile that you can create a great number of different breads, making this another living recipe that can change to fit into your meal. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

Healthy Aging

Ahh the golden years . . . retirement . . . senior discounts . . . golf. Wait a minute! When do those golden years start? Age 65? 50? 70? Retirement? That age is getting later and later all the time, sometimes from financial necessity but often from a simple desire to stay engaged and useful in the community. Golf. I hate golf. In fact, according to the 2014 survey by the National Golf Foundation only 8.5% of the population age six and older played golf at least once in 2014. As to the senior discounts, well a gal (or guy) would be just plum crazy to pass up a discount because of not wanting to identify as “of a certain age”.

All of us are aging, whether we wish to acknowledge it or not. And while we cannot slow the actual passage of time there are, however, many things we can do that will affect how old we actually feel. The two main concerns shared by most people when they consider their future years are not death and taxes but rather declining physical and mental ability. The good news is that no matter what your current age any positive changes you make today will pay back in a healthier future. Dr. Paul Tournier said, “Most illnesses do not, as is generally thought, come like a bolt out of the blue. The ground is prepared for years through faulty diet, intemperance, overwork, and moral conflicts, slowly eroding the subject’s vitality.” Every day we make

dozens of decisions which impact on our health, but generally we are not even conscious of doing so. Grabbing that doughnut instead of taking a minute for a proper breakfast, taking the elevator instead of the stairs, scarfing down a bag of chips for break instead of bringing an apple from home, all of these things gradually add up. There is no question that two key factors for a healthy future are diet and exercise. Eating a healthy diet with lots of whole grains, lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and not overdoing the “treats”, will provide all the necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy body. Add a daily dose of physical activity, incorporating a range of different activities to maintain and/or increase strength and flexibility, and set you on the way to a attaining/maintaining

a healthy weight. One great idea is a daily walk with a friend or partner, which has the added benefit of hitting one of the other key ingredients to healthy aging, sociability. Numerous studies have shown that staying engaged with a circle of friends and family contributes immensely to enjoyment of life at any age, but is especially important as we age. Staying connected by continuing to work, volunteering, and engaging in activities with friends not only helps you maintain good physical and emotional health but also memory and cognitive function. One health issue that can severely affect quality of life as we age is hearing loss. For those of us who enjoyed more than our share of rock concerts in our youth, hearing loss should come as no surprise. And since the loss is gradual, you may not realize that you have lost some of your ability to hear. The damage is cumulative, with approximately one in three people between the ages of 65 and 74 having some hearing loss, and nearly half of those older than 75 have difficulty hearing. Hearing loss makes it difficult to enjoy talking with family and friends, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Yet many of us with hearing loss deny the loss or the impact it exerts on our quality of life. The average delay in seeking help following a diagnosis of hearing loss is five to seven years. Don’t wait. Wearing hearing aids is no worse than wearing glasses, and the improvement in quality of life is immeasurable. There are many aspects to staying healthy as we age. One surprising link may be that between dental health and heart health. Although the link is not completely clear, there is some evidence that gum disease is a risk factor for coronary artery disease. The research isn’t strong enough to conclude that gum disease treatment will lessen the risk of heart attack or stroke but why take a chance. If you have moderate to severe gum disease and a known risk factor for heart disease (for instance you smoke), a visit to your doctor for a cardiac evaluation would be wise. Staying on top of health issues is important at any

age, but becomes even more so as the years add up. Sleep issues tend to become more prevalent as we age, starting as early as our 40’s. Lack of sleep contributes to many health problems. In fact, according to the Harvard Medical School, studies show that sleeping less than five hours a night increases the risk of death from all causes by about 15 percent. And certainly quality of life will be adversely affected, with such things as memory issues, weakened immune system and increased risk of chronic health problems such as high

blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Ensuring you engage in some type of exercise during the day, see at least a few hours of daylight each day, and maintain a regular sleep schedule are the quick fixes, but if you still feel tired during the day a visit with your doctor or a sleep clinic is a good idea. On a different note, while we may prefer to think we will live forever, we will not. An important “gift” you can provide to your family is to have taken the time to set out your wishes in the event you should become inca-

HHS MATH STUDENTS Q: Should I feel guilty about declaring bankruptcy? A: No, you shouldn’t feel guilty. There are many different reasons that people have to either file for bankruptcy or make a proposal to their creditors. These are typically significant life events over which the person doesn’t have control. Financial difficulty results from job loss, illness, separation or many other life events that can require stretching beyond your means. If you’ve struggled through a difficult situation, the last thing that you need to feel is guilt or fear for trying to find a solution. The purpose of bankruptcy is to provide an honest but unfortunate person with a chance to start over. It is not to judge how they got there. Bankruptcy is a Fresh Start that will enable you to focus on the things that matter; family, health and getting back on your feet. At Grant Thornton we can help get you back on your feet, without judgment. Call us for a free confidential consultation. Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty. Additional information can be obtained on our website or by contacting our office. Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP Vice- President

Bill & Ruth Sherwood Funeral Director/Assistant

Planning Ahead The best time to begin making your prearrangements is now, while you’re thinking about it. By taking the time now to collect the information and calmly make choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at an extremely emotional time. This ensures you plenty of time to carefully choose the items you want and need. Today more and more individuals are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before, because of such factors as inﬂation, fewer family members living close by and peace of mind.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the almighty God for giving me such sponsors like you Hampton. Thank you for paying school fees for my kid so may the Lord God bless you”. This short letter came to us from the mother of Philani Bhashiri, one of the students for whom we are paying school fees at Peak Central High School. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to the families in Piggs Peak to have a child attend high school. The fees are, in most cases, an exorbitant expense relative to the household income. A sponsorship from Hampton is truly a blessing and it’s always nice to receive a touching acknowledgement from an appreciative mother in Piggs Peak. In a recent article, I wrote about the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership increasing the number of students we are supporting from 118 to 126. What I didn’t mention was that the increase of eight students was exclusively at Fundukuwela High School. Our committee was disappointed to learn that the fees at Peak Central High School had increased significantly from last year.

Peak Central is an excellent school with an exceptional head teacher but we felt it was our responsibility to direct funds from Hampton to the other high school, where they would pay for more students. Frankly, we also wanted to send a message to Peak Central that, while we would continue to support the students to whom we had already committed, we were not inclined to add more at the considerably higher rates. To ensure our message was clear, we sent an email; and our student liaison, Bev Harrison, made a number of phone calls to the head teacher. I am happy to say that, largely as a result of our, and particularly Bev’s, persistence, the Peak Central oversight committee decided to roll back the 2016 rates to the 2015 level. Hampton has become a respected and influential presence within the decision-making process at the two high schools we are supporting in Piggs Peak. This, I suppose, should not be a surprise since we are now paying fees for over 10% of the total students in the schools. I am glad to say that, because of this new development, our approved budget

allows us to add eight more students at Peak Central High School! This brings our grand total to 134 students. It’s an ambitious commitment but we are confident that, with the help of our supporters in Hampton, we will be able to meet it. To help us, please consider making a donation or becoming a Starfish sponsor. It’s as easy as going to our website: hamptonpiggspeak.ca and clicking the DonateNow button. For more information, contact me, Mark Bettle at: bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca. 0010
