The Hampton Herald
Wine tasting parties are becoming more popular than ever. They are fun and easy to host and allow your guests to try a variety of different wines and wine styles. Even the ‘non-wine drinker’ can find something they love. To ensure that your event is a success, keep in mind; Choose a place in your home that has enough space and is well lit. Your space should also be free from any dominant scents (flowers, plants, scented candles, coffee, etc.) as they can really overpower the bouquets of some wines. Determine if you will be serving any food. Having a few appetizers on hand is a great idea because it allows everybody to experiment with food and wine pairing. I like to encourage guests to not only find good pairings but undesirable ones as well. If you will not be serving any food consider at least having a few palate cleansers on hand - bread, crackers, plain chips and even some cheeses. Some classic examples of foods to have on hand to experiment with are; apples, cheese, grapes, lemon, pates, smoked fish and crackers. There are two essential things that every wine tasting party must have - water and spit cups. Some guests may choose to spit the wine rather than swallow it. This is standard practice in the industry when judging competitions and many wines are being tasted. Glassware is extremely important. We all have seen beautifully coloured wine glasses, however plain, clear, hand washed, well rinsed glasses are best. They should have a wider bowl with a more tapered rim which concentrates
the aromas and allows for proper oxidation. Order of service is key at a wine tasting party. Whites should always be served before reds. Light bodied wines should come before full bodied wines. Dry wines should always be drunk before sweet. Each guest should be provided a glass of water as well as a pen and piece of paper to write down their impressions of each wine. Hold it up to the light to see how it reflects, describe the colour and transparency. Next you will want to swirl the wine and nose it. Which scents can you identify? Is the wine simple or complex? Are the aromas pronounced or subtle? Finally, it is time to taste the wine. Swish it around to coat your entire mouth. Notice its flavours, intensity, acidity, tannins and finish. Encourage your guests to talk about each wine and share their likes, dislikes, and which food they think would be a good match. Wine tasting parties are a great way to learn about wine. Happy hosting! 0042

THE KINGSTON LSD NEWS The safety issues at the intersection of Route 845 and Route 850 on the Kingston Peninsula is something that has been talked about for many years amongst Peninsula residents. In 2014, we as the newly elected Advisory Committee for the LSD of Kingston decided to find a resolution and make it a priority. Over the following two years we held several discussions with DTI officials about potential solutions. A study was conducted and the results were relayed to our committee. Although we were appreciative to DTI, we had to disagree with the findings. The criteria set by the Transport Association of Canada as it relates to an intersection controlled by a fourway stop are such that we could never meet them. This does not in any way lessen the safety issue that results from a number of factors very specific to this intersection. We have consulted with subject matter experts as it relates to lines of sight, enforcement and cost. Your LSD committee concluded that the only cost efficient solution to the problem is to convert to a four-way
stop the intersection of Route 845 and Route 850. We understand that such action will slow the flow of traffic on this rural highway however, we are also confident that it will significantly diminish the risk to drivers. We know from firsthand experience, as do all residents of the Peninsula, that the intersection in question does not conform to the norm and therefore, we are asking the government an exception to the rules and regulations be made in this case. Your LSD committee developed a petition with the hope that many of the peninsula residents will support the idea of a four way stop intersection. With the assistance of our MLA Bill Oliver and your support, the petition will be presented to the Legislative Assembly who in turn will have by law, 60 days to provide an official response. The statement posed to residents on the petition will read “The petitioners humbly pray that the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure of New Brunswick improve the traffic safety at the intersection of Route 845

with 850 on the Peninsula (Kingston corner), by making the said intersection a four (4) way stop intersection.” The petition must show the original signatures of residents. Therefore, we have asked the assistance of several establishments and groups on the peninsula where you, the resident, can hopefully agree to sign our petition. You will find it at the Kingston Store, the Kingston Pub (Reed’s Pub), the school, the Legion and Fullerton’s Corner Market. If you have a Facebook account, please encourage your friends to support the initiative and sign the petition. We wish you all a great New Year. Steve Gourdeau for the LSD of Kingston. 0026

QUIT & GET FIT
NAUWIGEWAUK DARLING SENIORS’ NEWS Ruth Crowley, member of the Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors recently celebrated her 100th Birthday on November 22, 2016. Her nephew, Doug Crowley and his wife Heather held an Open House at their home in Hampton, where Ruth welcomed a large number of guests. Ruth is a very interesting person to talk with and she remembers her first job as an office worker for Irving Oil on Dock Street in Saint John. She had to work six days each week and her salary was $8 per week. Ruth gained her Driver's License after starting work, and this gave her independence and allowed her to spend time visiting family members and friends. Later in life, Ruth enjoyed travelling overseas where she visited Windsor and Balmoral Castles and
she felt very fortunate to view historic paintings at many locations. To celebrate her 95th Birthday, Ruth drove herself to the monthly meeting of the Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors. However, she felt very blessed to have driven her own car for so many years without having an accident and she made that day the end of her driving career. Ruth's friends from the Hammond Valley Community Church provided refreshments for her Special Day, while Ruth graciously welcomed her wellwishers with words of kindness. This atmosphere created a wonderful feeling of happiness and contentment to every visitor. Once again, Ruth made sure that her "Special Day" was turned into "Everyone's Special Day." 4377

MORE THAN FITNESS GET FIT 150 With the new year upon us, many people are making resolutions for the things they want to achieve in 2017 and often times these goals and resolutions have to do with physical activity or other lifestyle changes. While resolutions are easy to make, they are not so easy to stick to. Resolutions may be set with the best of intentions but keeping on track can be a very difficult thing to do. Why not make 2017 the year this changes for you? This year, in honor of Canada’s 150th Birthday, I am issuing a “Get Fit 150” Challenge to one and all to find a way to meet or exceed Health Canada’s Physical Activity guidelines for adults to “accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week in bouts of 10 minutes or more”. By setting a goal to get active and consistently meeting it, you will be well on your way to a healthier you in 2017! In order to stick to your goal, find ways
that you can hold yourself accountable. The first thing to do is make sure you write your goal down. Keep it in a place where you will see it on a regular basis so you will be reminded each day what you have set out to accomplish. Another great way to stay on track is by sharing your goal with others. Tell your friends and family members what you have set out to do and ask them for their help to keep you on track towards achieving it. If you choose to take the “Get Fit 150” challenge, encourage a friend or family member to join you - having a “workout buddy” committed to the same goal is a great way to stay focused and to receive encouragement on the days that seem more challenging. Finding activities that you find fun or exciting is another great way to stay motivated. What makes you want to get out and move? Do you enjoy group activities, sports, walks in nature or some other form of physical activity that really make you happy? If you find the things that really bring enjoyment,
you will be much more likely to stay on track. Finally, if you really want to succeed, be forgiving of yourself and don’t be afraid to fall of the wagon now and again. If you take an “all or nothing” approach, you will find yourself quickly giving up on your goals. Remember, we all have a bad day or sometimes even a bad week! If you miss the mark now and again, don’t abandon the goal altogether. Remember, tomorrow is a new day and you always have the chance to start over! 0044

OBITUARIES
HENDERSON, Alberta “Jane” After a life well lived, Alberta "Jane" Henderson age 90, of Darlings Island NB, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on Sunday, December 11 2016 at the her residence on Darlings Island. Born in Saint John NB, on April 18 1926, she was the wife of the late Barney Henderson and a daughter of the late Wellington and Mary (Norris) Herrington. Jane was born in 1926 on Adelaide Street in Saint John and started her education at Lorne School on Newman St. When her father was about to retire, the family moved to Quispamsis where she attended Rothesay Consolidated School, graduating in 1943. She then went on to Saint John Vocational School, graduating in 1944 with a diploma in Grade 12 Commercial and Secretarial Studies which included typing, shorthand, bookkeeping and law. In those days you graduated in grade 11 and grade 12 was considered first year of university. Her first employment was with the Bank of Montreal, Main Branch, on King St. in Saint John. She continued there until she married her husband, Barney, in 1946 and moved to Darlings Island. Jane rejoined the workforce in 1966 and worked for the Government of New Brunswick in various Departments: Child and Family Welfare, Dept. of Transportation and retired from the Dept. of the Environment 1989. While living in Quispamsis she attended St. Augustine’s Anglican Church where she taught Sunday School and was a member of the Women’s Auxiliary. After marriage she attended Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Hammond River where she again taught Sunday School, belonged to the Anglican Church Women’s group where she was Treasurer for a number of years. She was a vestry member and at one time a Warden at the church. She also assisted with the 8 The Hampton Herald
Alter Guild. While a member at Holy Trinity she helped to support five girls from Uganda who attended the Bishop McAllister College in Bushenyi. She also helped the women at the St. Andrews United Kirk in Hammond River when they made soup for Romero House. She and Barney led a 4H group in Nauwigewauk and they would join with the Sussex group for trips and trained the young people in leading cattle for exhibition. They attended cattle shows at Sussex, Saint John and Fredericton. Jane said she went through a gallon of Javex when Barney and the kids were showing cattle as they wore white pants and t-shirts. Jane was always interested in the Baden-Powell groups and was honored to be introduced to Lady Baden-Powell when she visited Saint John. She helped organize Girl Guides in Nauwigewauk and was the first Captain of the group. She also served as secretary of the Boy Scouts Group Committee for parents. She stayed involved with the Baden Powel groups for a number of years. She and Barney, along with neighbours participated in a bridge club which lasted a few years. They were also founding members of the Nauwigewauk Community Club and for a number of years either of them held an office in the community club. On the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary they were made honourary members of the Club. Jane was also part of the group that formed the Nauwigewauk Darlings Seniors Club, where at one time or another she had held every office. She was honoured on her 90th birthday along with her special friend Isabel Wannamaker who shared the same birthday. They called themselves the Bobsy Twins. To mark this occasion, they both were presented certificates from Provincial and Federal Governments. Jane laughed and said they received certificates from everyone but the Queen! She loved quilting and quilted at the church, the community club and at home. She enjoyed cooking for the family, especially birthdays and Christmas. For a number of years, family and neighbours came to the family home on Christmas night where they enjoyed music, carol singing and the amazing midnight lunch Jane provided. She enjoyed travel and
visited various parts of Canada and the United States. One of her favourite trips was a Caribbean cruise she took with some family members. She loved to go shopping and would drive friends to nearby cities to shop. She and her friends went to yard sales on Saturdays. Jane would drive her children to sports and church. She was like the mother hen wanting to know where the kids were and who they with. The kids would have overnight visitors from school and often talked all night long and were pretty drowsy getting off to school the next morning. While the kids were still in school, Jane attended the home and school in Hampton, visiting teachers in the classrooms. The children were their parents’ pride and joy and Jane would say, "They are not perfect, but they’re all pretty good". Her grandchildren were a joy from babies to adulthood. Trying to keep up with their modern ways and ideas, made her realize how old she was getting. She loved to visit them in their homes, especially when they had purchased new items. As she aged, her children saw that she was well looked after and kept in close contact. She enjoyed a long and happy life to the end. Jane is survived by her sons David Henderson (Susan), John Henderson (Nancy) and Keith Henderson; her daughters Peggy Hanratty (Pat), Patti Turner (Van-Allen) and Pam Beyea (Dell Watson); grandchildren: Susan (Wolf) Turner, Simon Henderson, Olivia Burnett (Jonathan), Jesse Beyea (Jenny Glew), Jake Beyea (Beki Gamblin), Tom Hanratty, Nell Henderson and Byron Henderson; and great-grandson’s Jonah and Jack Burnett. Jane is also survived by Lynn Browne whom she loved like her own daughter; and Dell’s children Chris Watson (Robyn), Alex (Sophia Noel) and Brittannie (Scott Murphy). She was predeceased by her by son-inlaw Grant Beyea; brother Norris and his wife Kaye; sister Margaret Hawkins and her husband Jim; brother-in-law Earle Henderson and his wife Alice; sister-inlaw Carolyn Henderson and nephews Norman Hawkins and Norrie Hill.

Adversity is something that athletes know a little something about. The Hampton High School football Huskies understand this and have taken the lessons they have learned in overcoming adversity on the field and are applying them to those who face
challenges in their community. These young men have come to learn that everyone needs a helping hand, and in fact it is the only way things get done, and the only means by which a football game is won. As such, the Huskies have been involved in teaching football
to younger players in the community, and were present to Write for Rights at Lutz/Longstaff /Parrish on December 10th and marched in the Hampton Santa Claus Parade. Also, for the second year in a row, this dedicated group of young men, elected to brave the cold, as volunteers, every Saturday morning in December at Jamie’s Independent Grocer in Hampton in support of The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Appeal. Last year these young men, along with scores of volunteers helped raised over $60,000 in support of the many in our community who are struggling to make ends meet without the added expense of Christmas. The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle is a symbol of hope to many in our community. Funds raised through the Kettles help provide direct, compassionate handson service to hundreds of people each year at Christmas and throughout the year. 4370

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE THE PARK AND ‘NO-PAY’ OPTIONS When financial markets become a little uncertain – some investors get nervous. Uncertainty and nervousness can cause some investors to flee equities and jump into fixed income investments that they feel will provide more certainty and protection from investment losses. But… there may be a price for playing it too safe financially, like the loss of buying power from ignoring opportunities to keep your investments growing. The GIC refugees: Canadians have $500 billion in Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs). Safe, yes – but socalled ‘safe’ investments earn low income - and GICs are actually a ‘no-interest’ option, especially when you factor in taxes and inflation. So, by parking too much of your non-registered portfolio in locked, fixed income investments, you could lock yourself out of the opportunity for growth. Look at it this way: The real return on an average one-year GIC was actually negative every single year over the last decade while, during the
same time frame., the 10-year return for Canadian equities on the S&P/TSX Index was 7.97%. The savings account sideliners: In fluctuating markets, some investors choose to sit on the savings account sidelines - which at least partially contributes to the fact that there is currently $670 billion sitting dormant in Canadian savings accounts, roughly $200 billion more than average.. By sitting it out on the financial sidelines, these investors missed out when the market began its steady climb while those who stayed invested capitalized on the upside of the market and reduced the impact of short-term volatility. The market moves fast and often with no warning. Strong gains can easily be missed by sitting on the sidelines. Buying power erosion: Often, the price of play-safe investment options can be the erosion of your money over time due to inflation. On the other hand, by choosing the right investments and
sticking with your investment plan, you will be positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities as they arise. Including equities in your portfolio can be the best way to protect your purchasing power and grow your wealth over time. But always remember, it’s a range of asset classed (yes, even fixed income investments) working together that is the vital key to increasing future income, offsetting rising costs, and reaching all your financial goals. Your professional advisor can help you get your investments out of ‘park’ and into ‘drive. 0036

Dyson & Melissa Funeral Directors
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.

ASK MARY DOES TALKING HELP? I talk about my grief all the time, but it doesn’t seem to help. What else can I do? We all have a story to tell about who we are and why we turned out the way we did. Some of us have the perfect story of loving friends and family with lots of laughter. But most of us have had to navigate around the worry and pain of life. Your family life, childhood and culture have given you a background. Now you get to take all of your past and create your journey from today onwards. I know it’s hard once you lose your loved one. I relate it to being on a double highway with someone to share the journey with and then all of a sudden you are in the ditch and by yourself. Sure you get out of the ditch but now you’re on a single lane highway without a map. If you don’t want to be wandering aimlessly, you will have to reframe your life and write out a new map. Consider yourself the storyteller of your life, talk about your heroes, struggling with your dragons and facing the loneliness of being
single. Write your story from the hero’s perspective and describe how you faced your despair and turned it into newfound strengths. You say, “I talk about my grief all the time, but it doesn’t seem to help.” This is where disclosing the tough stuff by writing it all out with the intention of letting it go, will help you to grieve and heal. Meanwhile, find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for at least half an hour. Write about it all, including any thoughts or feelings you have. Do not edit what you write, just write out in a steady stream of emotion: What have you fought and learned?; What lessons do you have to pass on to your children and grandchildren?; How have you become a better person?; What struggles and injustices did you overcome?; What are your strengths, weaknesses and disappointments? Writing in a journal has a powerful positive effect on your immune system and physical well-being, but more

important it is a way to release difficult emotions that cannot be spoken out into the world. I believe that written thoughts have the capacity to create and reframe our lives. True, our lives don’t look like what we had planned but perhaps some new thoughts can help us reduce our stress and gain a broader understanding of what we still have to be thankful for.

FAMILY MATTERS THE CHATTY CHILD Some children just love to talk. These children make sense of their world through verbal expressions but dealing with their continuous talking can be challenging at home (and at school). Should the talking get to the point where it disrupts social interactions or the child’s ability to listen, there are a number of things parents can try without being discouraging. The basic point to remember is not to lose patience. Stopping your kid from saying something, could prevent future important talks with you. Listen. Pay attention to see what kind of "talk" you're hearing. Does it come with a lot of questions you need to answer? If your child is asking a lot of questions, spending time answering them could help slow down the non-stop talking. Quiet Time. This should be a short period of time - start with 5-10 minutes, in which nobody talks. No talking doesn't have to mean no voice. You
could choose to read your child a book, color, or go to the library. You could also expand quiet time as your child gets used to the silence. Singing. Singing can be another way children can use their voices and express themselves. Families can do it together or the child can attend singing lessons or a choir. Focus the Talk. Give your child a specific topic to research. Get him/her to talk about something meaningful if the talk is about endless things. Talking Stick. To reduce interruptions and to help your child learn how to ‘share the floor’ with other family members try a talking stick! Whoever has the stick talks and it’s passed to others who wish to share. In the moments where your chatty child is not holding the stick he or she must keep quiet, giving the child time to reflect on what is being said. This encourages consideration for others contributions
to the conversation. A wonderful book that must surely have been written by a mom of a chatty child is called ‘My Mouth is a Volcano’. It is a story of a boy who cannot stop the words from erupting right out of him. He doesn’t understand the impact his volcano mouth has on people until he’s the victim of others’ eruptions. It helps kids understand why it’s important to have control over when you use your voice. This week keep your patience with your chatty child and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS The late Tyler Henderson was one of the pioneers of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership and his spirit continues to inspire our annual coffee house. On December 19, we enjoyed the performances of the HHS band, directed by Christine Dowling and John Giberson; the HHS glee club, directed by Christine Dowling; Patrick Donovan and Doug Brenton; Bill Preeper, Sandy McKay and Clinton Charlton (Bonnet House); Paige Stevenson and Aaden Gray; Gillian Urquhart; and Derek Doucet. Thank you to the performers and the organizer, Laura Myers. We were also fortunate to have in attendance at the coffee house, a 27 yearold young man who shared the following words. “My name is Linda Mathunjwa, a Swazi from the Piggs Peak area, the place where people from Hampton help kids trying to get to school with fees. I’m one of the students who graduated from the programme because of help from the Hampton community. I started high school in 2007 and could not afford to pay the school fees. The Hampton programme helped solve the problem by
taking me under their wing.” “In 2009 the group was paying only part of the school fees but there was also an examination fee that needed to be paid in Form 3 (grade 10) that I didn’t have. 2010 marked the year when Hampton started paying full school fees as well as external exam fees for both Form 3 and 5, which might have been caused by the knowledge of my situation, as well as some other cases like mine which also surfaced.” “We are grateful to the people here in Hampton, who donate money to the Piggs Peak partnership. Because you changed my life, I now work as a paramedic for both Swaziland and South Africa. I also help the Hampton Piggs Peak partners in the recruiting of poor kids like me. Bev Harrison and I interview kids, go to their homesteads, and coordinate with the head teachers. I am the eyes and ears of the programme in Swaziland. Children in Swaziland want education, as it is the only hope to prosper in life. Also going to school is the only place where the kids can get a meal, because they can’t afford to get food back on their homestead.” “Not only did the group give me a good
education, but I am like one of them now. I am part of the Hampton Piggs Peak partners. I have learned how to help other people help themselves through education. I believe that I should give back to others what has been given to me as best I can. I am happy for such a privilege.” For more information, contact me, Mark Bettle, at 832-0003 or markbettle1@ gmail.com. 0010

SANTA CLAUS CAME TO TOWN 2016 Saturday, December 10, 2016 was a happening night for Hampton! The Big guy drove his colourful sleigh down Main Street. Crowds of parents and children lined both sides of the streets, from one side of town to the other! 2016 saw the most entries yet – 41! From walkers, to horses, singers, energetic dancers, baton twirlers, horses, and dogs. An array of sounds, lights, and participants. We also had our first “quiet zone.” This was a true community effort. Special thanks to the Town of Hampton staff, the local Fire Departments, Rotary Club, volunteers, Lifestyle Fitness, and RCMP. Thanks to the Hampton High School Hockey Teams for collecting donations for the Hampton Food Bank. Canada Post sent staff to collect letters for Santa. We must also offer a huge thank you to Hampton High Student Council and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Saint John for providing the hot chocolate in the Town Square. We extend grateful acknowledgement to the following for their generous financial donations: Hampton Dental Clinic, Town of Hampton, Loughery Law Office and
Bayview Credit Union. Your donations made this year’s parade possible. Each year our judges are assigned one of the most difficult tasks of the night! Our judges were local MLA Gary Crossman, Mayor Ken Chorley, and Dr. Erik Klein. All of whom faced the challenge head on! Best Community Group Award went to Hammond River Valley Elementary School. Most Creative Entry went to Dr. Allison Chorley Family Dental. Best
Commercial Entry was bestowed to Hampton Guardian. This year’s Judge’s Choice went to the very well deserving Lifestyles Fitness Studio! Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who all participants.
