Having recently experienced wind chills of below -30, this “Old Man Winter” just went “brrrrrr” and went back to bed (just kidding). I have to admit, that for someone who has always been pretty good at entertaining myself and otherwise keeping busy, this winter does seem to be more challenging. The other day, The Kid, aka “The Kid who lives here with no bedroom) wanted to go sliding and like many people young or old wanted some company. Since, “Old Man Winter” was already out and about I happily agreed. So for the first bit, my primary role was to deliver a good push so that “The Kid” would get a pretty good slide down the hill. In between slides, I would work on moving some snow around and basically “Grooming” the trail. After a while “The Kid” says “Grumpy, do you want a slide??” Mouth engages well before brain “well of course I want a slide”. So I do an evaluation of the equipment choices that I have .. a shiny new plastic sled from Santa. I can possibly fit into this little sucker, but how do you handle the fallout from busting up the kid”s Christmas present. There are some crazy carpets... so called because you can grab this sucker, start running and do a flying belly flop, hmmm. While I have used these on occasion in the last few years, I find it challenging to fit both my length and my width on these
flimsy pieces of plastic. The last choice is a round disk commonly called a saucer with handles but no steering mechanism. So... I plunk my butt onto it, grab the handles, while gingerly trying to tuck my legs into some kind of yoga position, push off, slide down hill, start going sideways, fall over. Great ride!!! “The Kid” is asking whether I am OK. A quick evaluation indicates that 911 is unnecessary and so I manage a few more slides, all the while thinking “There just has to be something better than this for “Old Man Winter” to slide on, short of equipping my wheelchair with runners. In the mean time, I guess we will all just have to improvise to get through just one more winter. 0001

I am a wife and mother of two daughters who was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1994. The condition left me disabled, forcing me to resign from my career in business and accounting. Frustration built as I was spending 20 hours a day in bed. This was the result of chronic pain and fatigue, making my life miserable. Headaches and migraines worsened, only adding to the misery of my pain. While living in Alberta, I found my way to a Natural Health Practitioner which sparked the change of direction for me and my family’s life! Over time, I continued to gain back my freedom from this chronic disease. Additional issues which had affected me throughout my life were allergies, infections, repeated injuries and fatigue. Through treatment, all issues were resolved. Finally, I am living free from pharmaceuticals and disability. Discovering natural health has been life changing for me. Once healing started, and the journey to health began, I realized that one day I might be able to return to work. It was holistic health that gave me my life back so that I could become a contributing part of society again. Holistic Medicine became my passion, my goal to help others in chronic health situations; dealing with all types of illness and imbalances. I can help others from becoming ill by creating changes in behavior, beliefs and thoughts – early on if deficiencies and
imbalances are recognized and addressed, more severe illness can be avoided. During my time studying Dynamic Health and Dynamic Blood with Hahnemann College, I have been taught how to look at my patient as an individual with unique needs and treatment required. Blood cannot lie and shows very powerful information in assisting patients. By looking at the blood under my microscope, I can see the state of health of my patient, while they can also see the concrete evidence in front of them. The human body is very complex and designed for survival. Recognizing what is happening in the body, and the signals being given to help address the specific needs, can change the path of the patient’s health. Our bodies are amazing and want to be healthy!
in order to understand the patient and how their body is functioning. Natural health is for those who are ready to take responsibility for their own actions and the resulting effects on the body. As a Christian, I have discovered that the strength of God in the healing process is very powerful. My goal is to give patients an improved quality of life, no matter what condition they are suffering from. During the treatment process, I will consider the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual state of my patient, which are all a part of the whole being. Through Journey to Health Inc., I would love to partner with you on your journey to wellness and wholeness.
My education gives me the ability to understand the effect of pharmaceuticals, herbs, and natural medicines in the patient’s body. It also gives me the ability to know what deficiencies have been created. The goal is, as the patient returns to health, that it will be recognized by the medical doctor that the pharmaceuticals are no longer needed; the patient will become healthy and there will be no existing need for them. Part of the process is educating the patient about their body and how regimen and behaviors affect their health. In treatment, a complete history is taken
Your first Health & Nutritional consultation includes a full discussion of health issues & medical history. Your individual health situation will be considered by looking at your diet, nutritional status, activity level & how your body is actually functioning. Rather than treating symptoms we will figure out what the root cause of your health issues are and address them in a direct & gentle way. A Dynamic Blood Analysis can be done on site with a microscope. The client will see immediately, specific information, such as, is enough water being consumed? Is digestion of fat,
protein & carbohydrates being handled properly? Are organs functioning properly? and much more. At Journey to Health we will look at the results of your Dynamic Blood Analysis and give you a plan of action designed only for you and your individual needs to help get you to a healthier state and feeling better! Common Issues dealt with - Sleep Disturbances - Stress & Anxiety - Depression - Bowel Issues - Diabetes
- Fibromyalgia - Skin Issues - Yeast Infections - Allergies - Digestion Problems - Heavy Metal Detox

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty SPOTLIGHT ON VALLEY ARTIST I have known 20 year old Rothesay resident, Gavin Downes for many years. His Dad is an old friend of mine and we used to talk about music for hours. It’s amazing to see how Gavin has come into his own as an artist over the years. Gavin has big things happening as an aspiring actor and as a musician and singer/songwriter these days and I caught up with him about his current artistic endeavours. Here is our e-chat! Jeff - I didn't know you acted and here you are with a starring role in this movie "Butterflies". How did this happen? Gavin - Butterflies Director, Cayman Grant, did a workshop at the Interaction Children’s Theatre while I was enrolled (a number of years ago). In 2013, she contacted me asking if I would be interested in participating in a project she was hoping to film in Saint John. Check out: butterfliesfilm. com. Jeff - Did you enjoy the process of making the movie? Gavin - To me, the process of filmmaking and, in this instance acting, is similar to the process of making records in that you keep making takes until you are happy with the result. I went in to do the best job I could and didn’t really think about being nervous or insecurities or enjoying the experience. If there are any hardships it is trying to get a useful take. However that’s not something I
thought about while we were working. Jeff - Any other acting plans on the horizon? Gavin - I have been working on a feature length film with my friend Jarrod Hachey. We have been working on it since September and are just finishing the last bits of shooting now. What is your Top Five favorite songs and by whom? 1) “I am Two Francs” by Plaster Lungs off a split they released last year with a band called Contention. HEAVY. 2) “Distracted” by Reagan’s Rayguns. 3) “Iraqi Emos” from Learning’s upcoming album. 4) “If I Give You My Heart To Hold It Will Break When I Fall” by Tooth and the Fang. 5) “Movin’ Movin’” by the Telecasts. Defunct Saint John rock outfit who played at the first gig I ever played. They were a staple of my Saint John music experience. They defined cool for me. 0041

ASK THE CHEF by Colin Sifton SMOOTHIES FOR LUNCH Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Well it wasn’t actually a question this week but more of an observation. The past couple of weeks, some of my staff have been bringing in smoothies to have for lunch. That’s right, it is a new year and people always make the resolution to eat healthy and lose weight. Smoothies are a great way to do this and it made me think that some people just didn’t know how easy it is to make a smoothie. Smoothies have been around for a very long time. Mediterranean and eastern countries have been pureeing fruit to drink for centuries but it wasn’t until the invention of the blender that North Americans started drinking these concoctions. Smoothies are found in many different forms with different ingredients. A smoothie would be any fruit or vegetable
drink made up of pureed fruits, vegetable and liquid. Some people make smoothies just by adding ice and water to their favourite fruits. It is funny how much fruit can go into a smoothie. Imaging sitting down and having a glass of orange juice with one banana, six strawberries, a quarter cup of blueberries and a quarter cup of melon. That is a lot of food, but since we ground it all together and made a 16 ounce drink, it doesn’t seem like that much; our eyes are deceiving us. Now when I say it is a lot of food, it is when you have a smoothie with a full breakfast of bacon and eggs or with a large bowl of cereal. Having just a smoothie would be a perfect size to get you to your next meal. It is full of vitamins and minerals our body needs to keep us alert and to keep us going but not enough to sustain us through the whole day. Our body still needs protein. So where does the protein come from? In recent years we have gotten more and more access to grains and seeds which are high in protein which we can mix
in with our smoothie. Some examples would be flax seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds and chia seeds. Other items may be oats or even quinoa. You can also add any vegetable for additional nutrients. So if I was making a smoothie for myself, this is what I would do and what I would put in it. 1/2 cup orange juice 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt 4 strawberries - frozen 1/2 banana 1/2 mango - frozen 3 tablespoons of chia Place in a blender or magic bullet and puree until smooth. The reason I use frozen fruit is to make the smoothie a nice frosty treat. Makes me think it is not as healthy as it really is. 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

In memory of
Louis Dempster Gone are the days we use to share But in our hearts you are always there. The gates of memories will never close We miss you more than anyone knows; With tender love and deep regret We who love you will never forget.
Love always,
Cheryl, Jody, Sonney, Tammy & Families
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
JEAN HOURIHAN Hatred clouded their judgements. Distance has overwhelmed our lives. Love never dissipated. Kindness spread over generations. Sadness carried on your shoulders, like tiny immense boulders. Your life was filled with turmoil and happiness, even without me. I always thought there was always more time, to reconnect or look upon your kind eyes once more. That time has ended. With a speechless tongue and a heavy heart, this shell I occupy is locked in the past. Biscuits, chocolate cake, casseroles, safe haven, a warm meal and unconditional love. Actions of others stopped us from completing our journey together. I wish you could see who I’ve become.
In loving memory of my dear friend,
Eva Mitchell
who passed away January 30, 2013
Gone are the days we used to share But in my heart, you’re always there; Never more than a thought away Loved and remembered every day. I so miss our phone calls and time together.

Lady Slipper Original poem by Michelle Hourihan Bear as thy human skin, No shelter from thy wind. Nights grow colder, Not one piece of me grows older. I start to awake, So beautiful I almost look fake. My body changes forms, As I battle on-coming storms. Deep and dark, yet far away, Nowhere to play. Safe from thy fiery hands, But yet alone I stand. Now thy breezes carry thy ashes, Thy old limbs in different patches. The colour fades from my face. And now the dying race, Is dead!

POINT OF VIEW by Diane McMillan RESOLUTION REVOLUTION The month of January is a time of change for many people. When I was young and foolish, I used to make a list of things I wanted to achieve or change throughout the year. Usually, they centred around weight loss, exercise, travel and saving money. And, more often than not, I'd start out all eager and focused only to tumble off that wagon – head first – a few weeks into the new year. In an effort to avoid the inevitable this year, I've silently set a couple of goals for myself and also loudly declared that my resolution is not to make any resolutions. I've started my own resolution revolution. Let's face it, resolving to be better about something – anything – brings with it a lot of pressure to change the way we do things. Judging by the look of my thigh region, no amount of resolution making is going to change the fact that I love chocolate
way more than I do working out. I've always had a sweet tooth, and chocolate has always been my sweet treat of choice. At one time, my metabolism was higher than the St. John River in spring time. I could polish off a row of Ganong Red Wrap Chocolates, and not gain an ounce. Now, well, my metabolism has slowed to a trickle, and my vertically challenged self is no longer a Size 2. It's important to stay active and eat healthy, which I'll strive to do again this year. But, in the spirit of my revolution, here are a few things I'm not going to change in 2015. 1. I'm not going to stop eating chocolate - ever! Eating dark chocolate releases serotonin, which is proven to boost your mood. It's true, and it makes me happy. 2. I will never like winter. It's too cold and the only thing white that I like to walk on is sand… on a beach! 3. I will continue to waste countless hours on Pinterest, organizing all the recipes I may never try and all the renovations I will never do. 4. Diet Pepsi will always be a staple in my

home, regardless of how bad it is for me. Oh, and I'll also order it with any and all fast food meals. It's because I like the taste, not because I'm counting calories. 5. If I didn't have Facebook, my home would be spotless. There's always next year. 6. Ironing is way over-rated and so is 100 per cent cotton – polyester isn't that bad. 7. I'm not going to organize, print, enlarge or place my family photos in albums. The kids aren't grown yet – plenty of time! Spend the year accepting your true self. Perfect is a bore, so don't apologize for being imperfect and real. 0032

Help Yourself Heal When stress, change, depression, loss, illness and pain occur, it is important to recognize what’s happening and deal with it. The following are some ways to handle stress. Take inventory of what you do with your time. Make sure that there is balance in your activities. � Take a deep breath, settle your body and meditate. � Get outside and expand your soul by spending some time in nature. � Recognize others as people with problems of their own and obstacles to overcome and give them the benefit of the doubt. � Share your stress. Talk with someone about your worries, perhaps a friend, minister, counsellor or a support group. � Take care of and pamper yourself. � Make time for fun and incorporate humour in to your life. � Know your limits. Learn to accept what is�for now�until such time when you can change it. � Don’t isolate yourself. Be a participant in any way you are able. � It’s okay to cry. � Avoid self-medication.

Ella, Howard and Cynthia and their Families
Thank You Well, I certainly didn’t see this coming.
On behalf of the family of the late Jean Hourihan, we would like to sincerely thank everyone for the food, cards and donations to the various charities and the loving support we received during this difficult time.
For my family and friends it started out as a nightmare, but a few weeks in, things started looking up. For me it’s been weird. Waking up in a hospital in Indonesia, not knowing what happened and not being in any pain. The only thing that was different for me was the functionality of my brain and paralysis on my right side. It didn’t feel real, I kept expecting to wake up, but I was up.
Also, a special thank you to the KV Extramural for their kindness and support so we were able to keep Mom home with us.
I want to thank all of you for helping me with my recovery, without your thoughts and prayers I wouldn’t have made it. I knew I loved where I came from but the support you have shown me and my family has me floored. To the players and sponsors at the hockey game, to all those involved in the auction, The Belleisle Rovers, IBEW 502, my many friends and relatives, thank you all.
The Hourihan Family

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS We have received an impressive amount of good quality winter clothing and many people have been truly blessed by the generous donors; thank you! However there are still a great number of our clients who are in need of warm clothes and boots, so for those who received new items for Christmas the plea is out… please pass on your ‘old gear’ to us and warm both hearts and bodies with your kindness! We wish to thank the many folk who continue to support us, the Rotary and Lions clubs for their recent generous contributions and Robins, Pizza Delight and Spuds for the reliable and tasty offerings of good food. Thanks also go to the Shiretown Publicans for their special brunch times and the food that they collect. We will continue the screening process in hopes of helping clients, as well as providing data to convince Government that more help is needed. During the client days, in March and April, Flo and Philippe
will be available to help in completing Income tax returns again; so get your paperwork ready for free, confidential assistance. The next preparation day will be on Wednesday, February 18 from 8:00 until 10:00am. Clients will be served on Thursday, February 19 from 8:30 until 11:00am. While we greatly appreciate all the food items that are so generously given, we cannot accept outdated goods that might no longer be healthy. We have need of: 1 single mattress; 2 single beds; 1 queen bed; 1 king mattress, if you can help out with any of these, please call Janice at 832-4340. For Emergencies you may call Catherine 943-0158; Janice 832-4340; Betty 832-7526. “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.” 0029

and the plan is to do so monthly. We are presently working on a communication plan in order to keep Peninsula residents informed. One goal is for a monthly article which will be published in the Hampton Herald and the River Valley News. With this, we will give a brief summary of what the committee is up to in relation to developing issues. We will also include some interesting facts about our community. Did I mention that our Chair, Glen Baxter was elected as one of four LSD chairs to represent us on the Fundy Regional Service Commission? We are looking to develop a strategy in relation to Emergency preparedness. We look forward to be working along with the two fire Departments, the Legion and the Provincial EMO on this plan. One initiative would see the creation of a list of "people at risk"on the Peninsula. Those identified and willing to be on the list would be contacted or visited during a serious weather event or other emergency situation. This is simply a matter of neighbours helping and looking out for neighbours. In December, the LSD committee met with Fire chiefs Helen Comeau and Randy Gowlett to review their 2015 operating budgets. Both chiefs provided a very good budget overview. There will be more information to come on this topic. Over the next several months, your LSD committee will be working hard to become better educated on various items that affect the Peninsula. We will be working closely with the Local Service District Manager, Mr. Ian MacDonald, our MLA, Mr. Bill Oliver as well as other officials with the hope to form the strong partnerships that will directly benefit us, Peninsula residents. Did you know that in the Parish of Kingston, the tax base for 2014 is $241 million? This represents an 8% increase since 2013. Also of interest, our population is 2952, we have 1549 private dwellings, 265 of which are one person households. This is it for this month. We hope that Mother Nature will be kind to us the remainder of the winter. Looking forward to providing you all with more information about our community. Steve Gourdeau for the Kingston LSD Advisory Committee. 3329
HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS Karen Mandy has lived in Swaziland for 29 years, the last 10 years pastoring a local church. She recently wrote to us about the gogos (grandmothers) in Piggs Peak: “When Maureen Robichaud visited us from Hampton in 2013 and laid the foundation for the start of our Gogos and Others group, I never would have envisaged the impact it was to have in the lives of all that have been involved. If ever a group of women could restore my faith in human nature, it is our gogos. These are the ones who are carrying this nation. They are the ones who have seen their children dying of AIDS; yet, they are unable to mourn as they are left to pick up the pieces of the lives of their grandchildren. What a great honour and privilege it is to work along-side them. Piggs Peak Gogos and Others is a group of 17 “mature” ladies who meet together most weeks. Our original aim was to share skills and materials, so that the members of the group could generate their own income. Most of our gogos are on a pension of around Can $20 per month and have many mouths to feed and school fees to pay. Since we started meeting 18 months ago, the mission has subtly evolved. Yes, we still meet to share ideas and are looking at products that we can take to market, but the underlying motivation for coming together is very different. For a few short hours when we meet, these amazing women have the opportunity to leave behind their very hard lives. They have something to look forward to; new friends, a reason to get dressed up in the morning, an opportunity to relax, chat with and encourage one another. We have cooked and knitted together. We have embroidered and woven plastic bags into place mats; but most of all, we have laughed! I believe that above all else, this group has brought joy into lives that have otherwise been filled with hardship. Our grandmothers recently met for our first Christmas dinner together at Phumulani Restaurant... and our gogos had the most amazing time together. There was food and fellowship in abundance and a great day was certainly had by all! (Browse the photos on Hampton’s Facebook page for all the evidence).
A special thank you goes out to Maureen Robichaud for her vision and encouragement over the past 18 months, and to the Hampton Piggs Peak Partnership, for your continued and overwhelming support. Lives are being impacted and bettered because of you.” For more information visit us at: facebook.com/hamptonpiggspeak or contact me, Mark Bettle, at bettlem@ nbnet.nb.ca or 832-0003. 0010

MUSINGS by Debbie Hickey LET THEM STARVE There was quite an uproar recently when a news story out of Winnipeg indicated a woman was being fined by city Animal Control for feeding stray cats which had taken up residence on a neighbour’s property. The original reports indicated the woman was told to stop feeding them and let them freeze or starve. Later reports from city officials deny that any of their staff would have said that. The only people who know for sure are the two individuals who had the conversation. I make no secret of being a cat lover. I have lived with cats all my life, currently three of them. Two of our previous cats have been abandoned or strays, one of which showed up in our Kingston backyard one October (possibly left
behind when a cottager closed up the place for the winter), the other having been thrown out a car in front a friend’s apartment building in Saint John. A third cat was rescued by Mike and the kids and adopted by a co-worker since we were already at maximum capacity. (Maximum capacity is three, as for every three cats Mikie says he gets a dog . . . and tho’ Jet is lovely dog, one is enough for me.) Had there been feral/stray cats in the area I would most surely have been feeding them and attempting to tame and re-home them. What disturbed me about the story from Manitoba was the polarization of opinions. Letting them freeze or starve was seen as a viable choice by a lot of readers who commented. Since the problem has been created by man, how is it fair that the cats pay the price
for our poor choices? Winnipeg alone estimates they have 50-100,000 feral cats. Where did they come from? They did not migrate there from some exotic location. No, they originated from abandoned pets. Deal with the irresponsible pet owners, not with those who are doing their best to assist the victims. “I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.” ~ Abraham Lincoln. “The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.” ~ Charles Darwin. 0002

By Jaymee Splude - January 2015 Saint John, NB – Locally owned and operated Loch Lomond Mitsubishi has announced that they have broken ground for a multi-million dollar expansion taking place at their home at 1265 Loch Lomond Road in Saint John. Owner/operator Randy Defazio was born here in Saint John, and has been an active member in the auto community for twenty seven years. Although Mitsubishi has been a permanent staple in the auto market in North America since the 70’s, Mitsubishi is only five years new to Saint John, and Mr. Defazio credits a great product and a great community to Loch Lomond Mitsubishis’ outstanding success and growth during the past five years. “We are enthusiastic about our contribution to the local economy”, says Mr. Defazio, “and thanks to the residents of Saint John, as well as Mitsubishi offering the best warranty in Canada, we have been able to double our growth every year, and have now outgrown our current location.” This expansion was a long time coming, states Mr. Defazio, and appreciates his customer’s patience while they grow. According to Stats Canada the unemployment rate in Saint John is 8.3% as of September 2014, and Mr. Defazio states that with this expansion his biggest pride is having the opportunity to reduce this number. The expansion will allow Loch Lomond Mitsubishi to increase it’s workforce by 60%. “Being able to create jobs in this city is an honour,” says Defazio, “we are all advocates for the improvement and sustainability of our Renaissance City and it’s surrounding areas. ‘Buy local’ is no longer a slogan, it’s a must in order to regenerate income and to keep the financial flow inside of our community.” Mr. Defazio further notes that all contractors working on this immense project will stem from local businesses. About Mitsubishi Canada Originating in 1917, Mitsubishi has continuously made a name for itself in innovation and has since forged as an industry leader in both design and technological advancement. Constantly growing and expanding in automotive enhancements, in recent years Mitsubishi has been applauded for creating the world’s first mass produced electric car, the i-Miev, and in 1990 Mitusbishi won the award for being the first Auto Maker to create an electric car that was able to go 2000kms in 24 hours. In 2008, Mitsubishi announced their new Drive@Earth campaign, pledging to create vehicles that can exist in complete harmony with people, society, AND the environment. The technological advancements conceptualized by Mitsubishi has led the world to enjoy the opportunity to own a 100% electric vehicle that costs approximately $2.24 per charge. Mitsubishi also holds many awards for creating vehicles that place first in their class for fuel efficiency, including sub-compact cars and Crossover Utility Vehicles. Pioneering the advancements to four wheel drive and safety for North Americans, Mitsubishi uses their designers to fill the automotive needs of it’s purchasers here in the great white north, including four wheel drive sedans and coupes, as well as forward mitigation control, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control, allowing the vehicles to slow down on it’s own while in cruise control, adapting to traffic while remaining in ‘cruise’. Giving Back …. To Canadians Over the past seven years, Mitsubishi Canada has raised nearly $2 million in support of Right to Play, an organization that uses sports and games to teach local children the life skills they need to overcome the devastating effects of poverty and conflict. A portion of every Mitsubishi Canada retail sale goes to support Right to Play. Loch Lomond Mitsubishi also personally donates at least $10,000 per year to local sports teams, charity races and events, and community driven projects. This year they will offer an ‘oldies car show’ on Fathers’ Day. Expansion Details Set to complete in the early months of 2015, Loch Lomond Mitsubishi will remain open in both service and sales during the expansion, and invites the curious to stop by and watch the stages of development. For more information please contact General Manager Fred Chamberlain at 506-634-1765.
