The Hampton Herald
Debbie and the new owner of Ossekeag Publishing have asked me to write a perhaps final “Raving”. Kathleen has now assumed command of the Ossekeag Publishing Empire, and somewhere within this fine publication she has composed an introduction of herself and I am not going to ruin the surprise!! In August of 2000, a little old lady had a dream to keep the Hampton Herald and it’s sister publications going when the owners of the day decided to shut down and retire. Understanding the value of these publications to their communities, the little old lady worked long and hard to make them even better than they were. Supported by a long list of great employees both current and past, Ossekeag Publishing achieved a long, long list of awards, personal thanks and other expressions of appreciation for the good work she and her staff were doing. There is no doubt that the expressions of appreciation from the communities we have served, has been the primary motivator to continue all those years to work in what has to be one of the toughest businesses that you find. With weekly uncompromising deadlines and every mistake fully open to public scrutiny, publishing is a tough way to make a modest living. Having to do so in southern New Brunswick, competition with the Irving empire makes it almost an insane venture. However, the little old lady and her staff rose to new heights of determination and courage. And so, we are pleased to pass the challenge of publishing on to a new owner and wish Kathleen and all of the Ossekeag
employees our very best. To thank everyone who deserves thanks would indeed take many more pages than we can afford to print. However, to all staff who have contributed their time and talents, to all our wonderful readers, to all the great community organizations who have been our partners and to all of the advertisers who have trusted us with your advertising, Debbie and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we wish everyone a great 2016. A final word to advertisers and community groups who spend money on communicating with our readers. Two things to do!! Advertisers, think long and hard how many great deals you will continue to get from the Irvings should Ossekeag Publishing close. Let me assure you that your current deals will disappear way faster than last year’s snowfall. I would strongly recommend that you spread enough advertising money around to ensure that the current competitive environment continues. It really is in your best interest!! Community groups and municipalities, need to decide whether the publications support an overall healthier community. You too, need to support your community and spend a little more money. 0001

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS On December 14, the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership presented the 10th Annual Coffee House for Swaziland. Although the weather was not the best, a good crowd joined us at Hampton High School for a very enjoyable evening of music performed by Emily Carlson; Paige Stevenson and Ben Martin; Sydney Howlett; Reece Kelly; Andrew Conrad; Gillian Urquhart; Dustyn Forbes; Colton and Carter Scott; and the HHS Glee Club (directed by Christine Dowling). Thank you to all the performers, the tech crew, and Laura Myers for organizing the event. All proceeds will go toward the Tyler Henderson Swaziland Scholarship of Hope for students in Piggs Peak. It’s especially nice having an event at Hampton High School, which has always played an important role within the Partnership. In fact, it is actually “ground zero” for our organization, being the place where Thandi Nhlengethwa visited Hampton about 11 years ago and described the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS in her home of Swaziland. She told us about the importance of school for young people there and that one of the best things we could do to help is to pay for school fees. At the time, a small group of us had nothing more than a desire to help; it was Tyler Henderson who had the idea of organizing a Coffee House to raise funds. Tyler had recently graduated from HHS and saw the importance of helping people suffering from severe poverty and illness even though they are half a world away. His compassion and enthusiasm were an inspiration to those of us involved all those years ago and, even though we tragically
lost Tyler shortly after that first Coffee House, his enduring spirit continues to inspire us to this day. Although the Coffee House in his name continues after all this time, Tyler’s legacy goes beyond this event. His real legacy is the support we have given to hundreds of students which may not have happened without his initiative. Bruce Springsteen famously wrote “you can’t start a fire without a spark”, and it was Tyler’s spark that started the fire that still burns in Hampton. Without it, who knows if we would have had the initiative to carry us forward to the point where we are now paying school fees for over 100 students per year. If you would like to help fan the flames to keep the fire going, please consider making a donation to the Partnership by going online at: hamptonpiggspeak. ca and clicking the Donate Now button or contact me, Mark Bettle, at: bettlem@ nbnet.nb.ca. 0010

EMERGENCY MEASURES NOTIFICATION OF AN EMERGENCY I received a message from my Town about an emergency exercise being held to test the reception centre and first responders. The message came in from the EMERGENCY ALERT system that I had registered for. If you live in Grand Bay-Westfield, Hampton, Norton, Quispamsis, Rothesay, Saint John, St. Martins, Sussex or Sussex Corner this notification system is available, free of charge. This service allows Municipal Officials to quickly notify you and your family, by email, cell-phone and land line telephone, of a potential emergency such as flooding, fire, a boil water order or other similar events which may affect you. It can be used to inform you if a reception or warming/cooling centre is opened and of its location and hours of operation. In order to receive notification through this service, you will need to either register online using your Town or Village Web Page or by dropping into the Municipal Offices to complete a form. Your information is held in a secure database and is accessed only when an emergency occurs or is expected
in your area. When this takes place, an automated message will be sent directly to the contact information you have provided. Note that to use the Web to register you will need a valid email address. You will not require a valid email address to register if you use the form and return it to your Municipal Offices. The form is available from your Municipal Office. So why do I use this system? -Media coverage via TV and radio works
extremely well during the business week days ( Monday -Friday). Many stations go over to National radio and TV information and programing coverage after 7:00pm and on the weekends. -If a power failure is involved the radio, TV and telephone land lines may be unavailable. By using the Cellular system an additional level of notification is available. -Obtaining information from the Municipal Officials, responsible for our safety, mean accurate and timely information is obtained. -The EMERGENCY ALERT system can be used to send information to only the area impacted
by the Emergency. -The EMERGENCY ALERT system allows me to respond that I have received the information. This tells the Municipal Officials those that have been notified. -If I am away on business or vacation, I am informed of any emergencies that are impacting my family.
The ability for Municipal Officials to quickly warn us about Emergencies is of vital importance in protecting my family. Please, take the time to register. By doing so, you can “Be Prepared – Not Scared”. 0039

HAMPTON SANTA PARADE UPDATE Saturday, December 5, 2015 was a happening night in Hampton! The Big guy drove his colourful sleigh down Main Street and even though he started at the opposite end of town this year, it didn’t stop the crowds from coming out to line both sides of the streets from one side of town to the other! The weather cooperated beautifully; warm temperatures and just a light dusting of snow making everything have magical glistening sparkle. We were very fortunate to have had 33 entries in this year’s parade. From walkers, to horses, singers, energetic dancers, animals of all types and some fantastically creative floats; Hampton was an array of color, lights and music. To say that it is a community effort to make the parade a reality, is an understatement. We have so many thank you’s to extend to: The Town of Hampton
6
staff for the beautiful Christmas display in the Town Square and lights/ decorations throughout town; Our local RCMP and Fire Dept., assisted in many ways; The St. Alphonsus Youth Group collected food, toys and clothing for the Hampton Food Bank; Canada Post sent staff to collect letters for Santa; Jennifer Gendron, thank you for allowing us to use your facilities beforehand. We must also offer a huge thank you to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of SJ for the hot chocolate in the Town Square after the parade was complete; it was a perfect way to end the evening! We extend grateful acknowledgement to the following for their financial donations: Lutz Longstaff Parish, the Town of Hampton, Sharon Loughery of Loughery Law Office and Bayview Credit Union. Your donations made the parade possible. We don’t envy our judges, Counsellor
Todd Beach, MLA Gary Crossman and Dr. Erik Klein this year. What a difficult task we assigned them to! They rose to challenge, however and were able to narrow it down to four categories and winners: Best Community Group went to 6th Hampton Scouting/Cubs; Most Creative Entry went to St. Alphonsus Church; Best Commercial Entry was bestowed to Hampton Home Hardware and this year’s Judge’s Choice went to Hampton Pharmasave. Congratulations and thank you to the winners and to everyone who entered. As in previous years the Award Presentations took place at the Mayor’s Levee on New Year’s Day at the Lighthouse River Centre. From the HACC Board of Directors to you and yours, we wish you a blessing filled 2016. 3846

HES NEWS All Grade 5 students at Hampton Elementary shared the spirit of the holidays by walking to the Hampton Food Basket to deliver donated food and gifts. Students also decorated gift bags and made cards in our Kids Helping Kids which ran throughout the month of December. HES students earned ballots by completing Random Acts of Kindness and were invited to the Card and Craft Making Boutique. All items (food, toiletries, toys, bags and cards) are delivered annually by our Grade 5 students. Hampton Elementary held its first plant sale before Christmas selling geraniums, spider plants, and Christmas cactuses.

More than 400 angels were placed on the Sussex Hospice Angels Christmas tree, at the Gateway Mall in memory of loved ones, during the Annual Angels Remembered Fundraiser campaign over the holiday season, raising over $2900. All proceeds will be used to help Hospice fund its many support programs and services for people and families touched by end-of-life issues. Hospice gave assistance to several people and their families this past year in the Sussex area, providing emotional, social, practical, spiritual, and grief support, as well as information and education. Every angel represents a very special memory for our loved ones. “Hospice Sussex is grateful to our community for their generosity and to all the volunteers who gave their time to staff the Angels table,” stated Peggy McCrea, Executive Director. “Their support made Angels Remembered a success. Because you care, we will care for others when they need it most.” 3844

INTRODUCING KATHLEEN Q. I suspect that one of my friends or family is suffering from financial difficulty. What can I do to help? A. The most important thing you can
do to help someone that is suffering from financial difficulty is to talk with them about it. It is important that they understand that they are not alone and that many people find themselves in a difficult financial position.

NEWEST “NEWBIE”! Well, here I am! Ready for a new adventure! Ossekeag Publishing’s newest “newbie”! When I heard Debbie and Mike were retiring I felt this was an opportunity to do something I would enjoy while continuing to ensure residents from Grand Bay to Sussex were able to receive a family oriented community newspaper which supports their community and keeps them informed about events and happenings, that might not be available elsewhere. So, let me briefly introduce myself. I was born in Charlottetown, PEI. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and have a Bachelor of Business Administration. I have worked continuously in health care, mostly with seniors but also podiatry and I have worked in finance. I have lived in Hampton the past two decades with my husband of 32 years, Robert, and we have one child, Matthew who is 16 years old. Though I am “taking over”, Mike and Debbie would be quick to tell you that Ossekeag’s success is less the result of whose name appears on the masthead and more the result of the professional team that puts the publication together week after week. They may not always get mentioned, but I can assure you their efforts are not unnoticed and certainly not unappreciated. Our sales team is Carmen Whittaker, Vanessa Robicheau and Carol Spence. Each one of them is committed to ensuring our valued customers get the best possible service and the greatest value from their advertising. Terri Bourgeois handles all things administrative, from reception to accounting to invoicing. She is the glue that keeps the “business parts” together. Finally, the team that puts it all together and makes sure the paper gets out on
time: Beth Reicker, editing and proofing, is responsible for ensuring all our i’s get dotted and t’s get crossed, while Carmen McKay and Kaitlin Ritchie, graphic artists, design ads and make the paper look better than I could ever hope to do. To the staff, thank you so much for your support during this handover. Change is seldom easy. I look forward to working with you as we open this next chapter in the history of Ossekeag. To our loyal advertisers, thank you for your continued support. I promise to continue to provide you the best possible service and the greatest possible value for your advertising. Your success is our success. I look forward to meeting you. As for you, dear reader, I look forward to hearing from you. I commit to continuing to provide you a community newspaper which you can be proud of, that is family oriented and will keep you abreast of what is happening in your community and neighbourhood. To Mike and Debbie – thank you! Your achievements these past 15 years have been numerous and you have much to be proud of. You leave behind very big shoes to fill and I can only hope that I am up to the task. I hope you will be pleased with the direction and changes that will occur over time; however, rest assured, the tradition you have created in providing a quality publication will continue. Looking forward to hearing from you: kathleen@ ossekeag.ca. 0002

2015 CHRISTMAS KETTLE KICK-OF IN HAMPTON The Salvation Army’s 2015 Christmas Kettle Campaign kick-off in Hampton was held at Jamie’s Independent Grocer. Major Stan Folkins welcomed everyone and introduced Mayor Ken Chorley, who brought greetings on behalf of the Town of Hampton and made the first donation in support of the Christmas Kettle Campaign.

Major Stan Folkins with Mayor Ken Chorley making the first donation to the 2015 Christmas Kettle Campaign
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. For over 100 years, The Salvation Army Christmas Kettles have been, and continue to be, an efficient and effective method of raising money to support The Salvation Army work in Hampton, Norton, Sussex, Chipman, Petitcodiac, St. Martins and areas in between. The 2015 Christmas Kettle Campaign Goal was $53,000. Major Folkins thanked the Christmas Kettle Coordinator, Peggy Yetman
who recruits the “Volunteer Bell Ringers” who generously give of their time to support the Kettle Campaign. “Thank you to all our Volunteers!” Also, he acknowledged members of Lions Club, Rotary Club, and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #28 who were in attendance and thanked them for their ongoing support with the Christmas Kettles. A big thank you to Jamie Alexander and the team at the Hampton Independent Grocer for providing a special cake, tea and coffee for the Christmas Kettle Campaign kick-off. 3848

ASK THE CHEF FOOD TRENDS FOR 2016 Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Welcome to a new year of Ask the Chef. This will be my third year answering your questions and I really appreciate all your feed back and questions that you keep sending. To start the new year off right I thought I would talk about the food trends that are predicted for the coming year. Here are a few that caught my eye. Bread is going to make a big come-back in 2016. In past years, between Atkins diet and gluten allergies, bread had taken a back seat while we looked for new ways and substitutes for bread. Now they say bread is back but now in whole grain and ancient grain form; a much healthier way to enjoy toast and sandwiches. Bleached flour is out and it will never come back. I know it is what we all grew up on but in fact it is a man made creation, white flour that is, and therefore not as good as natural whole grains. Next trend that has come on strong and
doesn’t seem to be going anywhere is artisan ice-cream. This is an ice-cream which is made with not so traditional feelings and flavours. One of the first ones I tried was called fire and ice. This was vanilla ice-cream made with Tabasco sauce. Cold at first but had heat behind it that got hot as your mouth cooled down. Nowadays we are seeing bacon and egg ice-cream. This is made with salted caramel bacon and egg yolk custard. At first it sounds strange but once you bite into it, you can see why this has become a trend. The stranger it is the more popular it seems to be. The last one I will talk about we might not see in our region for awhile but this will be coming and we should be ready for it. Healthy fast food is coming and it will not just be at sandwich shops. More and more consumers are asking for free range products, organic and GMO-free products and we will see more and more of this offered. The only problem is price. This will not be cheap fast food but healthy fast food. MacDonald’s can offer the 2 for 2$ meals
because the products used are cheap and grown quickly. These fast food restaurants will have quality, naturally grown products but it will come with a price. I look forward to seeing who is the first to bring this to our region and if it will last. The question is and will alway be, quality over quantity. Which one are you? Do you want to feel full and have food left on your plate because you feel you got a deal but you probably just ate the equivalence to cardboard? Or do you want to know that what you just put in your body is naturally grown and is the most healthy items you can ingest so you can live a longer and healthier life? Only you can decide. So there you have a few things to look for when it comes to foods this next year. Try them out if you come across any of them. Like most trends they don’t stick around too long. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

WWII VETERAN HONOURED Whether you consider it a late birthday present or an early Christmas present 95 year old Greenwich resident Murry Connell was surprised and thrilled to be awarded the French Legion Medal of Honour. Effective November 9, 2015 Murray Connell has been awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour. This distinction is the highest national order of France and illustrates the profound gratitude that France can express. It was awarded in recognition of his involvement in D-Day and the liberation of France during WWll as France remembers the sacrifice of all Canadian compatriots who came to liberate French soil. Mr. Connell was one of 14000 Canadians to participate in the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944 at Juno Beach on the coast of France. Today there are approximately 1000 surviving Canadian D-Day Veterans, many of whom have already received this significant honour. Serving with the 4th Division Armoured Corps, Mr. Connell and his fellow soldiers were
loaded into large ships in England and headed towards the coast of France where they made their way to their respective holding areas to wait for their turn to go ashore. Under heavy bombing and artillery fire from both sides they finally were able to go ashore with vehicles and loads of ammo for the infantry. Surrounded by his family and friends Mr. Connell was escorted by Rose Linton and Wayne Makepeace to the front of the room and was formally presented with his medal at the Royal Canadian Legion Greenwich Br. 87 Veterans and Friends Zone Christmas party on Saturday December 12, 2015. A Certificate of Congratulations was presented by Kings Center MLA Bill Oliver followed by words of congratulations from 2nd Vice President of New Brunswick Command Brian Roberts, Royal District Commander Terry Campbell and Zone Commander Bob Beyea. 3842

KIMBO:
Arrived at the Sanctuary October 21st this year. He’s a stocky 1 1/2 year old male Brown Tabby weighing in at 9 lbs. Very gentle in nature and affectionate beyond makes him a wonderful pet. He was found on a rural road - no houses in sight - so we decided to take him into the Sanctuary. He’s been neutered, vaccinated and all parasites taken care of. He keeps himself spic and span, gets along with the other 9 felines (males and females) he bunks with. He now needs to find his ‘forever home’.

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS Happy New Year! Our thanks go out to all the volunteers who assisted in assembling a record number of boxes at Christmas, 190 families were served and this year, 11 of which were provided for by the Hampton Fire department. We were able to let the clients choose their own gifts; this process took a little longer than usual, but was very much appreciated by them. Thanks also to the many kind donors who provide funding for this outreach, with escalating prices and increased numbers of those needing help, our need for financial support is very great indeed. Our total income last year for the Food Basket was $129,636. Our grocery bill last year totalled $94,260. Our main expenses include: rent $5,100; transportation of donated goods from Saint John $1,000; accounting $500; Office supplies/ postage, banking fees, food packaging, membership in the NB Food Bank Association etc are all mandatory expenses and swallow up a sizable
portion of our income. All of our staff are dedicated volunteers and in addition to purchased foods we are blessed with generous donations of food by service clubs, local business people, churches and schools etc. Last year we were forced to reduce the amount of food that we gave to clients, even though the donations at Christmas time are absolutely amazing, the reality is that for the rest of the year we are sustained by a few faithful donors and the bank balance quickly diminishes, Last year we served an average of 134 families every month, these families range in size from one to eight people and the food we give will last for three or four days. Our screening process reveals that many families have nothing, or less than nothing left after mandatory bills are met; the average family has $110 per person per month for food, clothing personal and household hygiene and any other needs. We are hoping that many people reading this will be moved to commit a small amount of money on a monthly basis, $5 or $10 given each month by a hundred or so people could greatly enhance the amount and quality of
the food that is given to those in need; our young people could go to school having had a good breakfast and with the assurance of a nourishing meal at the end of the day, for many that is not currently a possibility. We need your Help! ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me’. 0029
VARIETY BASKET WINNER The winner of the “Christmas Variety Basket” draw, sponsored by the Stewards Committee of Southfield United Church , was Jack Lynch of Sussex Corner. Thank you to all who supported this fundraiser and helped make it a big success. Also, thank you to the businesses that allowed us to sell tickets at their locations. 3839
LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER We believe that if a woman with cancer can be helped to look good, chances are she’ll feel better, her spirits will be lifted and she’ll be empowered to face her illness with greater confidence. We like to call it a ‘makeover for the spirit’. Look Good, Feel Better workshops are held on the third Monday of each month from 1:30-3:30pm. This program is geared towards patients experiencing skin and hair changes due to radiation and/or chemotherapy. The workshop is free of charge and is held in the Oncology Conference Room at the Saint John Regional Hospital.

LISTEN IN YEAR IN REVIEW It’s time to take a look back! I even asked a few local musical friends/celebrities to tell us some of their favorites from 2015. That way we can close that curtain and look forward to a happy, healthy, music filled and prosperous New Year (2016) for us all! First off my TOP 5 Live shows of 2015 that I attended were: 1. Roger Hodgson (the genius and voice of Supertramp) - Casino, Moncton. 2. Tom Cochrane & Red Rider – Casino again. 3. Alice Cooper – Casino 4. Darlene Love – Imperial Theatre, Saint John 5. TIE! Garnet Rogers – Shiretown Publicans, Hampton and Ron Hynes – The Barrel’s Head, Rothesay. As far as songs and/or albums I could literally make my own “Ossekeag Magazine” issue based entirely on my music picks but here are my Top 5 in the meantime: 1. Alan Frew – 80290 Rewind 2. Garnet Rogers – Summer’s End 3.
Faithless – 20 4. ZWERG – Dual Citizen (NB!) 5. Ron Hawkins And the Do Good Assassins – Garden Songs I asked local music celebrities “What is your favorite song/album this year? And why?” The Only rule was - It can be new or just new to you... it may help you discover what they like and you may way want to check out, because they all have good musical taste. Here are their answers! “My fave album this year was Betty Who's - really well-crafted pop songs with killer production!” ZWERG “I really like Breeze and Wilson's Christmas CD, has some great original material on it.” Debbie Stanton. “I'd have to choose Glen Hansard's 'Didn't He Ramble". It's not even the best album I've heard this year (Jason Isbell put out a new one that slays) but it's the one where I found the most inspiration. The songs are timeless, the voice is raw
and honest and when he belts out "it's not for glory, I'll tell you true" I believe him.” Clinton Charlton. “I was on a kick of Tori Amos's cover songs this past year and rediscovered her take on some favourite songs; hearing them in her unique way had me sitting at the piano with renewed inspiration.” Marissa Sollows. “Our favourite song of this year goes to Moncton's Shaun LeBlanc, for his pop single, "Move Together." Our daughter listens to his album nonstop, knows every word, and tries to play it on the piano. Any song that brings that much joy to our home is our favourite!” Lisa McLaggan (Tomato/Tomato) “Lucinda Williams: Protection. The groove is inevitable and unstoppable, and the two guitar players have an eloquent, nimble conversation in a language we don't understand but cannot deny the truth of.” Grant Heckman (The Honeyboys, Mike Biggar Band). “Carrie and Lowell- Sufjan StevensSublime Confessional. also- as far as performances go- Chris Stapleton with Justin Timberlake on the CMA's- soul saves country” Brent Mason. “Girl Crush by Little Big Town. It's edgy, with a great melody and I love singing it! Claudette Norman (WeBe3). 0041

HAMPTON HISTORY JANUARYS PAST Welcome to a new series on Hampton’s history. During 2016 a column will appear in each issue of the Hampton Heald. For the most part it will be a hodgepodge of happenings; occasionally it may be a one topic column. I will often add clarifying comments. 1. “There is a fine for driving a sleigh to which sleigh bells are not attached. We noticed a number that have no bells and in one or two instances narrow escapes of pedestrians have been the result.” (KCN, January 3, 1895). 2. [During World War I Hampton soldiers wrote home of the great need of socks for men in the trenches. A note to this effect appeared in the December 24, 1915 issue of the KCR. One hundred years ago this week the comment below was printed.] “Mrs. G. O. Dickson-Otty, through the kindness of friends, has been able to ship over 200 pairs of socks to her son, Liet. G. N. Otty.” (KCR, January 14, 1916.) [Note: Lieutenant George Nugent Dickson-Otty died in battle in June, 1916.]
3. “Mrs. Dr. J. J. Ryan, of Lakeside, expects to leave for Paris, France, about the 30th inst. Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Young will occupy Dr. Ryan’s residence during Mrs. Ryan’s absence.” (KCR, January 26, 1906). [Note: Kings County born Dr. John. J. Ryan was a dentist in Paris. He and his wife spent the summers at their “castle” on the current Kennebecasis River Road; the land now belongs to the Downey family.] 4. “Preble - Henry Married at the residence of the bride’s father, Jan. 1st by Rev. A. Perry, H. A. Preble, principal of Hampton Superior School [located at Hampton Village] and Margaret A., youngest daughter of C. I. Henry of Salisbury, West. Co.” (KCR, January 11, 1907). 5. “Mr. Ted Coster has left for Dalhousie College, Halifax, having received his discharge from the R. A. F.” (KCR, January 3, 1919). [Note” Frederick Edwin (“Ted”) Coster who lived on Everett Street - Senator Joe Day’s house - was part of the Maritime Provinces team in the 1920 Canadian
trials held in Montreal for the Olympic Games. He came in second in the 400 meters at the trials, but he did not get to go to the Olympics in Belgium. “Ted” studied medicine at Dalhousie.] 6. “The Boy Scouts and Girl Guides are now established institutions for bringing up manly boys and womanly girls in this community. The former with E. A. Schofield as scout master have headquarters at the Orange Hall, and the later organized at the home of Mrs. E. A. Schofield with Miss Mabel Schofield as guide mistress. They had a very pleasant afternoon playing games, learning how to handle persons seized with sudden illness and the simple formula required of the organization. They are to meet at Allandale again on Tuesday of next week.” (The Standard, January 7, 1911). 0031

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.
