There has been talk recently in the news about the lack of sleep children are receiving, how much sleep they need to be able to learn in school, and to live a healthy life. The lack of sleep can cause health problems that can have negative results for years to come. As I listened to one report recently, the main focus discussed how social media was a cause for children and teens not receiving enough sleep to be able to function properly in school. I understand children today have much more technology to communicate with their friends than I could have ever imagined growing up, with cell phones, texting, the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, and other sources of communication available to them. My son has a cell phone and other things that I refer to as "gizmo gadgets". He is not on these gadgets much and with his cell phone he has never reached his usage minutes and I have never paid a bill more than $30 per month. Many times his phone is dead and needs to be charged. However, my son is up late during school nights, and the cause of this is not social media or extracurricular activities, but the amount of homework that is assigned to him with the courses he is taking. My son participates in a sport one evening per week, yet different times he cannot attend this because of homework. He goes to school all day with classes from 8:30am to 3:30pm, has spent lunch times doing school work,
then after a day of being in school, he comes home and begins his homework. He takes approximately a half hour off while we have supper. .. he then goes back to his studies and most nights he is finishing near midnight. I have seen where he has had 3 tests in one day plus other assignments that were due. I have seen him doing homework to 2:00am then getting up at 6:00am to review his notes before he goes to school. If it is difficult for an adult to function on 4 to 6 hours of sleep, how can we expect our children to function on this? I realize social media can have a negative effect on our children's learning, with some children up late socializing with their friends when they should be sleeping. I feel there are different reasons why teens are up late and with regards to homework being assigned, maybe teachers can limit the amount they assign so that a child can complete all the assigned homework from the different teachers at a reasonable time. Then our children who are up late because of homework are able to go to bed at a reasonable time and be rested for the next day at school. 0001

RIBBON CUTTING AT RCL BRANCH #62 On December 22, 2015 a group of Kingston Peninsula residents cut the ribbon to officiate the completed installation of a 22 KW propane generator at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 62 Peninsula. This was the last step in an initiative that began over one year ago. The Legion had been used in the past as a makeshift warming centre, most recently during the power outage of Christmas 2013. As a result, a group of residents involved with the Kingston LSD, the Legion and the Friends of the Peninsula (a recognized charitable organization on the Peninsula) co-ordinated their efforts in order to see the Legion building become an official warming and reception centre. The Red Cross visited our Branch in June 2015 to conduct an inspection and declared the Legion building as a Red Cross recognized warming and reception centre. The Friends of the Peninsula donated over $14,000 towards this project. The Kingston LSD promoted cooperation and communication with all parties involved. The Legion membership were eager to take part in this worthwhile initiative. This generator will supply the
power needed to operate the heating and water systems as well as all kitchen appliances. The LSD of Kingston made the development of an emergency plan for the Peninsula a priority. The plan is in place. A tabletop exercise was held with key stakeholders and led by the Regional Emergency Preparedness coordinator. We are now encouraging residents to
help us create a list of “people at risk” so that we can remain in contact with them during an emergency, especially when the situation could last several days. People at risk can be anyone who may require help, who live alone, who are elderly or handicapped. For those who would like to self identify please contact Steve Gourdeau - email gourdeau@nbnet. nb.ca; or at 506-647-9463. 3876

Be Patient with Yourself The grief process is a time to heal. Coming to terms with your loss and adjusting to a new life does not happen overnight. Grief usually takes more time than most of us expect. Every experience of grief is unique. Some people take longer than others to work through their emotions. Some experience certain emotions, while other people experience different ones. Also our particular emotions may differ in intensity. We are unique people and how we will experience the loss of a loved one will be unique to us.

FAMILy MATTERS FAMILY WINTER PLAY IDEAS It is of no surprise that children learn through play. They learn a great deal about the importance of self-care, leisure activities and social participation through play. However, in the cold winter snowy months we can limit ourselves to home activities which can get tiresome for the whole family. If cabin fever starts settling into your home this winter, try these suggestions to get through it. 1. Participate in Winter Recreation. Taking part in winter sports is a great way to enjoy the winter months. Whether you hit the slopes, snowshoe or lace up skates this season, these are all great activities to encourage your family to get some fresh air, exercise, and develop coordination skills. Going to a hockey or basketball game also gives children an opportunity to learn about teamwork, and leisure activities from observing the pros. 2. Winter Drives to Nowhere. If the roads permit it, drive to locations unknown and use the outing as a jumping-off point
for car games like I Spy and the License Plate Game. If you are close enough, visit your favorite family beach. The car can be a wonderful place for sharing facts, map reading, learning about historical sites and storytelling. Drives develop a sense of direction along with wonder. 3. Build a Snowman or Fort. Help your kids build a snowman and/or snow fort this winter in your own backyard or at a park. Create a children-friendly home base, or quiet winter hideaway. The digging needed to build forts and snow structures provides plenty of opportunities for your kiddos to develop their gross motor skills, upper body strength and coordination. Loose items like rocks and sticks, that are easily moved around promote all kinds of imagination, creativity and teamwork. Coloring the snow can also add the element of whimsy. Afterwards go indoors and enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate! 4. Visit the Park. Take the family to
an outdoor park where everyone can explore, hike, collect objects and look out for New Brunswick wildlife in their winter habitat. A winter day at the park offers children another occasion to learn, communicate, interact with their sensory filled environment, and develop cognitive skills. By making the effort to get outside, even when it’s cold and snowy, you are setting a wonderful example for your kids. This week, enjoy the parenting journey and a little play out in the snow. 0006

LISTEN IN GOD BLESS TINY TIM Now I’d like to start off the year with an interesting artist who is also no longer with us, but has an immeasurable influence on other artists and pop culture. This may surprise some of you, but I am talking about none other than Tiny Tim! Tiny Tim (real name Herbert Butros Khaury) was known most notably for his version of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips” sung in his unmistakable falsetto, marrying his first wife Miss Vicki on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson on December 17, 1969 with 40 million people watching, being on the very first episode of the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants and what some would think are oddball habits. I had the opportunity to talk to the author (and 'one of America's foremost experts' on Tiny) Justin Martell and his upcoming highly anticipated book “Eternal Troubadour: The Improbable Life Of Tiny Tim.” I already pre-ordered my copy of the book about this ground breaking, sincere and at times misunderstood and tragic
artist known as Tiny Tim. I wanted to know how people could get past the novelty and “freakish” part of his personality to understand the genius of the artistry of Tiny? “He himself said if I told you I was a put on, you would say aha, I told you so. If I told you I wasn’t, you say the same thing anyway. In introducing Tiny Tim to (younger) an audience today; he is not as shocking as he would have been in 1968. We live in a time where we have seen, and I would argue because, Tiny Tim was a trailblazer. He is not as freakish as he was once viewed. No matter what, you are always trying to convince people that there is more depth to Tiny Tim than just the long hair, a high voice, the ukulele, goofy jacket and whatever else” Justin tells me. I wanted to know how he went about digging for this gold? “You have to travel in some dark circles.LOL. I interviewed, final count was over a hundred people for my book who were obviously tied to Tiny in various ways. The primary sources of
Sunday Mornin’s Comin’ Down 11am-1:30pm 274 Main Street Hampton, NB 832-1782
my biography were 19 of Tiny’s personal diaries which I’m missing a few years but they date between 1952 and 1978. Those are the main source. He wrote meticulously, he wrote every day.” What should we remember of Tiny that is the most important? Justin cont. “Tiny Tim could really sing. He was also important as a musicologist and music historian. He was performing songs that hadn’t been performed in 50-60 years. He saved a lot of songs and styles of music from extinction. Tiny Tim is a Ukulele Icon!”. Read my full article on: ossekeag.ca. 0041

Q. Is there anything I can do to prepare for building (rebuilding) credit? A. Before attempting to obtain and build credit you
should make sure your financial house is in order. This involves maintaining both a positive life style and establishing positive banking habits. To create a positive lifestyle you should first make sure you are living within your means. This means that you are not using credit to meet your living expenses. Make it a priority to pay your everyday living expenses on time and in full. Finally you should always be conscious of money coming into your house and where it must go. In other words, you need to create a budget based on your family income and then stick to it. Remember to budget for and set aside money for expenses that occur on an irregular basis like insurance, back to school items and Christmas. Adopting and maintaining a positive banking style involves keeping a positive balance in your bank account. Avoid using an overdraft and having NSF cheques. An easy way to do this is to open a savings account in the same bank as your working account and automatically transfer into this account on a regular basis. Even a little amount saved on a regular basis can add up over time and provide you some security. As noted in previous articles, obtaining and correcting errors in your credit report is also key to improving your future credit standing. We are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your options and help you get a Fresh Start! Grant Thornton Limited (formerly known as Grant Thornton Poirier Limited) provides advice and solutions to individuals and businesses experiencing financial difficulty.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS “Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. This time of year is always very interesting for the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership. We take a moment to celebrate the successes of 2015 – putting 118 students through a year of high school; and supporting the grandmother partnership and the gogo garden. But the moment quickly passes and we turn our attention to 2016. Every year I talk about our committee’s “leap of faith” as we decide how many students we will support despite having only a small portion of the funds we will need. Every year, without exception, we have stretched a little further and increased our commitment to the young people in Piggs Peak; and every year our faith has been justified as the generous people of Hampton have fulfilled our funding needs. I am pleased to say that we have made another leap! We have committed to pay school fees for 126 students in 2016; that’s eight students more than last year! And, since gender equality is one of our core principles, we will continue to have the same number of
females and males. Committing funds we don’t have might not be the most business-like approach but it’s worked so far; and I guess that’s what faith is all about. Every year there seem to be unexpected donations from charitable people or organizations that allow us to meet our commitments. We are also counting on growth in our Starfish program by focusing on making the experience a more rewarding one for current and prospective sponsors. To be clear, our committee takes a very business-like approach to managing the funds we receive from our donors. I believe the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is one of only a very few charities where one-hundred percent of donations go to our programs in Piggs Peak! But we always have to start up the stairs without quite knowing how we will reach the top. Over the next year I will be sharing stories about the people in Piggs Peak. Some of them are gogos who struggle each day with the burden of enormous responsibilities. Many of them are children living in abject poverty, having nothing more than a fierce
OPEN HOUSE! January 31st 2-4pm
determination to attend school and rise out of their current conditions. In sharing these stories, I hope you will be convinced join us on our climb up the stairs as we help the people of Piggs Peak with their struggles and with their much more difficult climb.

HAMPTON HISTORy MILLING AND CURLING IN HAMPTON 1. The Flewwelling Company, Hampton, expects to cut about nine million feet [of lumber], this winter.” (KCR, January 25, 1907) [Note: The Flewwelling Mill at Hampton employed many men. It was located near the current “docks” behind today’s River Centre.] 2. “On the first Thursday in December 1890 [Dec. 2], there met at the residence of MR. E. L. Whittaker, Messrs. G. M. Wilson, Cecil S. March, J. Ernest Whittaker, D. J. Bruce, J. M. Humphrey, F. M. Humphrey, L. W. Peters, H. Ernest fowler, W. O. Stewart, F. W. Hall and E. L. Whittaker to consider the advisability of forming a Curling Club in Hampton. It was so unanimously resolved so to do and those present were enrolled as charter members. Its first officers were then elected: G. M. Wilson, president; J. E. Whitaker, secretary; Cecil March, Treasurer; and a managing committee consisting of Messrs. F. W. Hall. G. M. Wilson and F. M. Humphrey. It was decided to buy eight pairs of news [sic; shoes?]. They arrived on Christmas Eve and the first curling was done on Christmas day. Very little curing was done that winter as they had to play on the river [Ossekeag Creek] the ice of which was never level and good
curling thereon was impossible. One match was played that winter against the Thistle Club of St. John, who won the game. The next year the members met and re-elected the old officers. They still used the ice on the river for curling. Two matches were played that winter, one each with the Thistles and St. Andrews clubs of St. John, in both of which the club was defeated. At a special meeting held in the following summer it was decided to buy a piece of ground and build a rink. Those who suggested building only expected a rink enclosed by a rough shed to keep out the snow, and not the fine building which the club at present owns[s]. Mr. J. Ernest Whittaker consented to try and get a donation from each of the members and also get new members. Mr. Whittaker succeeded far beyond his expectations and the membership reached twenty-nine. Those who contributed and are not members of the club were Messrs. H. D. McLeod and Philip Palmer of St. John and here I might state that it was due mainly to the efforts of J. Ernest Whittaker, G. M. Wilson and E. L. Whittaker in the first instance and later on with the able assistance of Mr. F. G. Evans that the club has such a fine rink today. The ground was bought and the contract
given to construct the building; it is to be completed in time for curling the winter of 1893.” (KCN, January 3, 1895) 3. “Pioneer Spirit Helped Build Hampton Curling Club … Celebrating their 75th Anniversary with a two-day bonspiel in a new rink just completed last fall, some of the “old timers” reminisced about the days gone by and predicted a bright future for the club. … Mr. [Alen N.] MacGowan said that the club members built a two-sheet rink in 1892 which was used right up until this season when the new $55,000 rink was built by John Walker Construction Ltd. of Fair Vale.” (ETG, January 8, 1966) [Note: Mr. MacGowan, because of his contributions to curling, is a member of the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame and is a member of the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame.] CODE: KCR Kings County Record (published in Sussex); ETG Evening Times-Globe (published in Saint John; KCN Kings County News (published in Hampton). 0031

ASK THE CHEF TO PRE-HEAT OR NOT PRE-HEAT Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question; When should a pans be pre-heated before cooking and how can I tell if they’re hot enough? It really depends on what you are cooking but for the most part, all pans should be pre-heated as well as ovens. Putting cold food into a cold pan and letting them heat up together tends to make your product sweat and will not give you the desired outcome. When frying meat, chicken or fish you will need a very hot pan. By cooking in a pre-heated pan with a small amount of oil, you will seal your product, trapping in all the juices and flavours which gives you a proper product. If you add any of these to a cold pan, you will see moisture beginning to appear in your pan. This has come from your meat and it has now made it less moist as well as more tough: two things you never want out of the main ingredient of your meal.
There is a really easy way to tell if your pan is hot enough. We call it the smoke point. This is when the oil in the pan just begins to smoke. This is the point where the oil begins to break down and will not get any hotter. All oils have a different smoke point. Canola oil has a smoke point of 200 degrees Celsius, where extra light olive oil is about 242 degrees C and is better for you. The oil right now that has the highest smoke point is avocado oil at 271 degrees C. You should never cook in butter, even though everyone does. The smoke point of butter is 177 degrees C but the bigger problem is that butter has milk solids as well as oil and these milk solids burn before your food is ready and some studies has shown that it may cause cancer. If you like cooking with butter, may I suggest microwaving the butter first to separate the oil from the milk solids and then use the oil to cook with.

Your oven should also be pre-heated for the same reasons as the pans. If you start with a cold product in a cold oven not only are you going to lose moisture and tenderness, but it will take longer for your oven to come to temperature. If you are following a timed recipe, this will no longer be accurate. I know a lot of people do not take the time to pre-heat as it takes time to coordinate the next step in your preparation, but try it and I promise you will see a difference in the end product, more compliments on your meal and a healthier meal for your family. 0040

EMERGENCy MEASURES A STANDBY GENERATOR I finally made the decision to buy a standby generator for the house. Actually it was my wife decided to purchase one after we lost our power for seven days. The next step was to decide what Systems would be powered during a power outage. First the heat pumps will provide cooling and heating for the house. Second the water pump at the wellhead would have to be added. We decided that we did not have to use the water heater. The two freezers were added because of the large amount of food that we would lose if they thawed out. The hot tub was added not for use during the power outage but to stop it from freezing and spend thousands of dollars to remove and/or replace. The refrigerator in the kitchen plus a plug to run a kettle or toaster joined the list. Finally three plugs in the bedroom
will be needed. One to power medical equipment, one for a table lamp and the other to charge flashlights, batteries and cellphones. Added up and doubled, to cover startup surge, we required at least 18 kilowatts for the required systems. The fuel to power the generator was easy to decided upon. We had propane already running our emergency heating system so we added another tank and ran an additional line to the generator. Better than storing and handling the large amount of gasoline required. A contractor was chosen who would source the generator, obtain the permits and install an automatic transfer switch and pony panel. The transfer switch turns on the generator when regular power is off and disconnects the generator from the normal grid. When grid power is returned it disconnects the generator
and turns it off. The installation must be done by a licensed electrician to ensure a safe install and to maintain our insurance. If not properly installed and damage caused by the generator would not be covered by our home insurance. By taking the time to decide what your needs are and ensuring they are safely meet, you can “Be prepared not Scared”. 0039

In 2016 there are two director openings and SACF welcomes new director, Marshall Fanjoy. Marshall has worked in Sussex with J. Clark and Son and recently retired after being the Dealership Manager. He and his wife Barbara have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. The other new director is Susan Mertinat. Susan is a lifelong resident of Sussex and recently

A NEW SCHOLARSHIP FOR PENINSULA STUDENTS!

The Hampton Herald
Graduating high school students who reside on the Kingston Peninsula and who wish to further their education by attending an accredited post secondary educational institution can now apply for one of three $1500 scholarships which are planned to be awarded yearly, starting in the spring of 2016. This was made possible thanks to a local
benefactor group known as the Friends of the Peninsula. This is a charitable organization made up of volunteer residents representing all of the kingston Peninsula. Recently, this group donated money to the local Fire Departments for rescue equipment, the Legion for a generator, the local school for a breakfast program and for renovations to their music room. The group also purchased a number of defibrillators which have been disbursed at key locations on the peninsula. The last project for the group is the implementation of a significant scholarship fund which can be sustained for at least twenty years! The application forms can be requested by email at: Whittel@nbed.nb.ca, or are available at Macdonald Consolidated School, before the deadline of March 31 of each current year. A student resident of the Kingston Peninsula, who wishes to apply, needs to submit a 500 word essay about their community involvement along with the completed form to Friends of the Peninsula Scholarship c/o Macdonald Consolidated School, 3950 Rte 845, Kingston, NB E5N 1E9. Full details pertaining to eligibility can be requested at the noted email address. The Friends of the Peninsula is a registered charity that issues tax receipts for donations received. With help from local residents, who knows, maybe these three yearly scholarships can be sustained for... ever. Steve Gourdeau, Chairperson, Friends of the Peninsula. 3880
