The Hampton Herald

HELLO When my husband, Kevin, first mentioned the idea of purchasing Ossekeag Publishing in August 2016, although I was excited at the opportunity, I thought it would be another one of our daydreams. After all, Kevin already had two businesses to run and I work full-time as a legal assistant in Saint John. But we kept talking about how interesting the idea was and started making plans. We're both proud to be Kings County babies, Kevin growing up in Pearsonville (located about 20 minutes outside of Sussex) while I am a “city girl”, hailing from Sussex. Kevin grew up with the Hampton Herald, and I can't remember a time when I didn't check through the Sussex Herald to see the latest pictures, or browse the ads and community events. The idea of not having that magazine arrive was simply unfathomable. Now here we are, five months and

four publications later, getting ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Kevin is content to provide tech support, as he will continue operating Kings County Computer Repair and The Water Spout, while I will soon be leaving the world of legal research and crazy forms to join the office staff in Hampton. I'm looking forward to being involved with such an integral part of the community. Kevin and I are both excited for this new opportunity and look forward to learning more about the business and people involved. So we want to hear from you. Let us know what you would like to see, what your thoughts and ideas are, and how we can best meet your needs. Looking forward to meeting and growing with you, Amanda Crealock (amanda@ossekeag.ca), Kevin 0001 Crealock (kevin@ossekeag.ca).

Give a gift to someone you love this

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG Grey Days - Roses are red and violets are blue; the leaves have fallen, the trees look dead! I know it is a terrible way to start a article, but that is just the way I feel in the dark, dreary, cold, days of January/ February. On the positive this is the more likely time that I will give myself permission to read a book. These grey days seems to drain my desire to shoot an image. Reading, however is a great way to get inspired, motivated and find a new project to kick start my enthusiasm. Currently, I am reading Andrea Gallant’s “ Dreamscapes Exploring Montages”. In it he quotes, Edgar Degas - “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”. In my office, I will create a small place with a table and a couple of lights and a small tripod. Here, I will make images of flowers but not just a flower or a bunch of flowers, I will capture details. I want to see things

that I would ordinarily miss. Shooting with a macro lens or a set of extension tubes enable me to get very close, it’s like exploring a new world from within. Taking a flower and taping it to my window and creating a high key image is unusual but in doing so we start to see the flower differently. In that same setup I may light a stick of incense and have a flash to one side and take flash images of the rising smoke. The forms, shapes and patterns in some of these pictures are fantastic and simple to capture. Again, these to would not have seen if we had stopped time, and captured that moment. Another, way to create images is by painting my subject with light. Photography is about capturing quality light. Light painting is done in a dark room and you paint your still life with flash light. Literally washing your subject with light directed where you think the highlights

should be. This light painting should not be confused with light pointing, which in essence points lights at the camera and images are created, think car light trails at night. Thinking about now, staying inside to create images is not such a bad idea. The snow has fallen, The day is Grey, I’m inside shooting away. Shoot Print - Share.

SHOUT OUT TO HRVES Hammond River Valley Elementary School is one of the best kept secrets in Titusville. This small school of 180 students and 26 staff members has a tremendously large heart. The students and staff (with much help from family and friends) have raised $1,187 through various projects. Tickets were sold to raise money for the Empty Stocking Fund and the students presented a cheque for $287

at the Telethon. Mrs. Martin has spearheaded a Christmas Extravaganza sale for the past 10 years. The students shop for their Christmas presents from the gently used items that are donated. This year $600 was made to help families in the community who need an extra hand at this time of year. Mrs. Hooper’s grade 5 class sold tickets for V.I.P. seating and parking, for their annual

Christmas Concert, and raised $300. They presented the cheque to Amy Rodgers from the Barnesville Area Helping Hands. Lastly, HRVES has a Pay it Forward Team who visits the residents at Yvonne’s Special Care Home every Tuesday. This Team with the help of Mrs. Price, Mrs. Head and Mrs. Clarke-Erb organized a food drive. Over 1000 food items were donated. Hats off to HRVES! 4401

SELF ESTEEM 2017 - THE YEAR TO LOVE OURSELVES What would 2017 bring if our only resolution was to love ourselves a little more? In elementary school, my report often reflected my ability to ‘play well with others’. I’d like to think, most days, that still applies. However, math was never my strong suit. Much of it had to do with my reading. If Sally has five apples and Ben has two apples, how many do they have altogether? Sounds simple enough but if you can not understand the words, or sound them out properly, it becomes a problem. Just like me in elementary school, until we understand, we will always have problems (or not be able to solve them). Once we understand ourselves, our life improves. Once we learn to love ourselves, we’ll receive an A+ on life’s report card. An A+ can be achieved by doing the following: Forgive Yourself - no one is perfect. We have all done things we are not proud of. That is not a good enough

reason to live your life in misery. Mistakes are a great way to learn. Let it go; Stop Criticizing Yourself - if you often berate yourself, make an effort to stop self criticism; Think Kindly and Positively about Yourself - when you do this, you’ll find the love for yourself will grow; Let Go of Worry - constantly worrying will not make things happen. Only wise actions can! Look for solutions. Ask for help. Many things we worry about are beyond our control; Be Truthful with Yourself loving yourself requires you to be truthful about your own feelings. Remember, your feelings are valid simply because you are feeling them. Do not stuff, bury or ignore them. Acknowledging your feelings provides you with a good guide to what your thoughts are. Thoughts must be changed, so that healing and self growth can occur; Have Fun - life is meant to be enjoyable. You automatically relax and worry less when you stop taking life and yourself so seriously; Acknowledge Your

Effort - it’s not always about winning or having success in everything that you do. Acknowledge that you have done your best, even if you feel that you have failed; Express Gratitude - be grateful for the person that you are. Cultivate an appreciation for your strengths and gifts. Feel a sense of gratitude that you are alive, well and fully capable of making a difference in your life, as well as in the lives of others; Fall in Love with Yourself - think about what makes you, you. Love yourself for all the good within you and accept your flaws. 2017 is your year!

Family Follow Up After the loss of a loved one there is much to be done and from our experience we know that you may have many concerns regarding the paperwork process. We believe that caring for families goes beyond services provided at a time of need. Every family served by our funeral homes will now be offered a Family Follow Up meeting. This meeting can take place at the families residence or our funeral home. During this meeting we will review a checklist of 21 items and assist with forms from Service Canada, Provincial forms, Pensions, Life Insurance and many others. This service is available free of charge.

WELL RESTED CAN MY CPAP MACHINE MAKE ME SICK? The gold standard in treatment for Sleep Apnea is CPAP. This quiet little machine sits at your bedside and blows gentle air into your nose to prevent snoring and to keep you breathing properly. It is a lifesaver for many. Your CPAP machine requires proper care and a small amount of maintenance to prevent bacterial growth and breathing infections. If your CPAP is not cleaned properly and moisture is allowed to sit in the tubing and humidifier, you might be at risk of developing a fungal or yeast colonization. Harmful mold could begin to grow and lead to irritation of the lungs, adding to cough or an infection like bronchitis or pneumonia. Bacteria likes to grow in warm, moist places as well. Cleaning your machine and mask routinely will keep you safe and free of infection. Clean your CPAP mask, hose and humidifier

chamber with hot water and soap. It is recommended that this be done at least weekly. Your mask can be washed daily to remove face oils and promote a better fit. If you have been sick, clean your mask, tubing, and device daily to remove mucus and other bacteria and viruses that might be hiding out. Do not let water or moisture remain in the equipment for prolonged periods. Use a heated humidifier and heated tubing to reduce condensation. If you stop using the treatment for more than a couple of days, clean and dry it out completely. Use distilled water in the humidifier to reduce your risk of infection and mineral build-up in your chamber. Replace your supplies as often as you should. Masks should be replaced at least every six months. Reusable filters should be washed monthly and disposable should be replaced every three months. This will extend the life

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS We recently received a letter from our partner in Piggs Peak, Karen Mandy, sharing some sentiments regarding the grandmothers we are supporting there. She says, “In a country where almost an entire generation has been obliterated by HIV AIDS, it is the grandmothers of Swaziland who have been primarily instrumental in holding families together in recent years.” Karen continued, “2016 has been quite a tough year for us as a group. The drought in Swaziland has been relentless, and has affected every area of life; especially at a grass-roots level. There has not been enough water to grow maize (the staple food of the country), food prices have been soaring and it was with heavy hearts that we had to close our community garden in September, as we were not only fighting to find water, but also to ward off the starving local wildlife. Thank you to the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership for your support over the past three years in helping us run the garden and also in supplying funds for much needed food parcels when there has been dire need.” “However, 2016 has not been all

Gathering for annual Christmas Lunch doom and gloom and this week the Piggs Peak Gogos (the Siswati word for “grandmothers”) held their third Christmas Lunch at the Piggs Peak Hotel, where the grandmothers (and others) enjoyed a time of great food and even better companionship. It was a time to look back over the past year and reflect on obstacles that have been overcome and to remember friends and family who are no longer with us. It was also a time to give thanks for all the wonderful things that 2016 held; for the joy shared, friendships established and support received from within the group. There were tears and laughter and it was a wonderful reminder to me, personally, of the value that there is in bringing these otherwise isolated individuals together.” “Again, we want to thank the Hampton-

Piggs Peak Partnership for all their love and support, in particular, for supplying these amazing women with the opportunity to step out of their often grueling every-day lives, and for just a moment, to be able to do what so many of us take for granted; to sit back, relax and enjoy the moment. Merry Christmas Hampton, from the Gogos of Piggs Peak!” If you are interested in supporting the work we do in Piggs Peak, contact me, Mark Bettle, at markbettle1@gmail.com or 832-0003. Also, remember the Greater Hampton 50/50 continues to support the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership and various community projects. So buying your weekly chance to play is a fun way to do something good for your local community and also your partner community of Piggs Peak. 0010

‘One-Eyed’ Jack:

Hi Everyone, My name is ‘One-Eyed’ Jack. Finally! a chance to toot my own horn: As you can see from my ‘petrait’, looking me in the eye is easy - I only have one. The other was injured before I arrived at PAWS and it’s just been removed. No change in my sunny personality or calendar-perfect physique though: 4 years old, stocky ‘solid bod’ with a thick orange coat. I love to be fussed over, I give high-fives and can purr up a storm. The ‘deed’ has been done (y’all know what that means); I’ve been ‘de-bugged’ so, all to say, I’m ready for some adoption action. E-mail the sanctuary, better still, fill out an Adoption Application Form on their web site - and mention Jack sent you. Here’s looking at you! -Jack Paws & Whiskers Sanctuary Inc. Email: paws@bellaliant.net www.pawssussex.ca PO Box 4816 Sussex, NB E4E 5L1 Paws and Whiskers Sanctuary Inc. is a registered non-profit charitable organization operated solely by volunteers.

‘One-Eyed’ Jack If interested in adopting ‘One-Eyed’ Jack, please contact the Sanctuary via e-mail or better still, fill out an Adoption Application Form from our web site.

JANUARY - ALZHEIMER AWARENESS MONTH The Alzheimer Society kicks off Alzheimer Awareness Month with a new campaign. Each year, 25,000 Canadians hear the words, ‘you have dementia.’ But dementia is more than just numbers. Friends, families and members of our communities all experience the personal and social impact of dementia. For our health-care system and economy this means higher demand for services and soaring costs. It’s not just their disease. It’s ours too. That’s why the Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick is asking fellow New Brunswickers to be #InItForAlz and support vital programs and services offered to the 16,900 families throughout our province. Dementia doesn’t discriminate and can affect anyone. It’s one of the fastest-growing diseases of our time, but still has no cure or effective treatments. It can only be beat if everyone takes action. That’s why Darren Dreger, a Hockey Insider at TSN, is getting behind #InItForAlz. His 76-year-old step-father, Ervin, who lives in Saskatchewan, was recently diagnosed with dementia.

“This is a cause that’s close to my heart and I’m proud to lend my support to the campaign. We need to get over our uneasiness about dementia and start to recognize and talk about it more openly. Research is a top priority if we’re to find a cure for people like my step-dad. And, we need to turn research into better resources for caregivers like my mom,” says Dreger, who makes his home in Toronto. You, too, can be #InItForAlz and make a difference right from your computer. Donate to support our local initiatives, become a volunteer in your community, host a Coffee Break at your place of work or take part in our 14th Annual Walk for Alzheimer’s. You can also use the hashtag #InItForAlz to spread the word that “it’s not just their disease. It’s ours too.” The Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick has six Resource Centres around the province and runs numerous monthly Caregiver Support Networks for people with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia and their families. The Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick provides support and information through a toll free bilingual 1-800 line,

and provides comprehensive information kits to help families navigate their way through a diagnosis or suspicion of Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer Society provides in-office and telephone support, and organizes various fund development activities to help fund the national Alzheimer Society Research Program. Through its many programs like their First Link Program, Annual Conferences for health care professionals, Memory Café’s, and educations programs, the Alzheimer Society is working everyday to defeat dementia’s dark shadow. 4395

KINGSTON LSD NEWS By the time you read this article, the petition for the 4-way stop intersection will be almost due to be handed over to our MLA Bill Oliver. We are hopeful we will have enough signatures to support this initiative. Your LSD Committee is now on Twitter. We will use the medium to provide resident users with an easy way to receive snippets of information from us. We also will welcome your feedback on issues. We can be found by searching Kingston LSD. We have received a fair amount of negative comments pertaining to the road conditions on the Peninsula since winter arrived. We are told that the roads have been at their worse this winter. There are many theories as to why this is. It is true that we all wish the road we live on was plowed and salted before any other. Some of us are off to work way before sunrise. Others have a dependant in need or can’t afford the very best of winter equipment for their vehicle. Your LSD Committee has absolutely no authority with anything that has to do with DTI and the road crews. Nevertheless, on January 18, Glen Baxter and Steve Gourdeau met with Mr. Brian Matthews who is the DTI Road

Crew Supervisor for our area. We were provided with many interesting facts pertaining to snow clearing operations. Mr. Matthews was forth coming about issues with scheduling, equipment, level of service based on road classification, territory and limitations. He oversees roads spanning from the Westfield to Belleisle ferries, as well as all rural roads in the LSD of Hampton on the West side of the 4-lane highway. As far as the Peninsula goes, he has only five trucks and one backhoe at his disposal. The operational loading capacity was diminished last year with that backhoe. It can take as many as 13 buckets to fill one truck with sand or salt. The last truck in line could be over one hour before it gets out on the road. Those are simple facts Matthews and his people have to work with. There is much more to tell you however, I am running out of valuable free Herald space. A follow up will come in the next edition. In the meantime, we will provide information on Twitter and Facebook. With that all said, both Glen and myself were very appreciative of Brian Matthews’ willingness to meet with us. We understand that there are frustrations

around snow removal in rural areas. Please know that with the limitations and constraints imposed on Matthews and his people, we know they are doing the best they can… and more. Steve Gourdeau LSD of Kingston. 0026

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS Happy New Year! Many thanks to everyone who donated time talent and treasures to enable the Food Basket to care for those in need throughout 2016; it was a special joy to see the extra donation at the Christmas handout day and to enjoy the participation of the community. Some of the things that especially warmed the hearts of volunteers are the wonderful response from our young people; the amount of food that the schools gather for us is nothing short of astonishing; Greeting cards made for the elderly and blankets for the single moms

made by the Middle school; The hard work put in by the High School Huskies, shifting heavy boxes and helping clients to their cars. We also greatly appreciated the wonderful knitting produced by our more senior citizens, wonderful creations of very fancy patterns, many from the ladies from the Lower Norton Church of the Ascension… hours of love in action; the Hampton Fire Department again took on many families and did many deliveries, so to all of you, thanks and blessings from us! We can assure you that all of the 170 families that received are very thankful

indeed. Our hours for the New Year will remain the same, the third Thursday of every month from 8:00 until 11:00am with the preparation being done on the day before from 8:00 until 10:00am.

ANGELS REMEMBERED CAMPAIGN UPDATE 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. This year’s campaign garnered over $3,080 for Hospice Sussex. 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

This year we would like to say a big “Thank You” to the Sussex Lions for helping us for part of a week selling Angels to contribute to our worthy cause. We appreciate what a wonderful community we live in. 4400

EMERGENCY MEASURES WELCOME TO 2017! Before we look at two apps for you and your family’s safety, I must offer my thanks to those who worked over the holidays. Hundreds of people working at hospitals, nursing homes, power plant, works and transportation services, fire, police and paramedics, spent time away from family to ensure our safety and that we had our own time with our families. My heartfelt thanks for your service. I became aware of two new applications, at the end of 2016, that I have added to my smartphone and iPad. The first is from the Canadian Red Cross. It can be found at the App Store under safety and titled Be Ready by the Canadian Red Cross. Its features include practical and useful information on fire, flood, storms and seven other emergencies that may affect your family. It offers a question section for children to become aware

of responses and earn badges, toolkit which allows your smartphone to become a flashlight or a strobe and a siren to attract responders. There is a mapping section that allows you to enter your home address and a location you want to monitor, such as a school or place of work. There also are weather alerts from the Weather Network for your area or an alternate location of your choice. This leads to the second application - the Weather Network. This application offers detailed temperature, wind, wind chill, sunrise and sunset and visibility. The hourly projections on snow and rainfall start and stop together with 36 hour and a 14 days’ weather which allows you to plan for any trips. Remember when we talked about planning ahead for long trips? Added together with your local municipality emails and warning

software you will have additional tools and information to make you and your family safer during the next month’s weather and emergency events. BE Prepared – NOT Scared can be an achieved in 2017! Just take the time and do it! 0039
