Nesting, nurseries and getting ready for baby. As I'm sure any other first time parent can attest, surviving the third trimester is a feat in and of itself. Or at least, that is how it seems as we enter week 39 of our pregnancy. (And yes - it is certainly “our” pregnancy no matter that I'm the one carrying the baby. How our significant others handle the mood swings, cravings, hormones and general craziness of 9 months of getting ready for baby without the joy of feeling baby kick I will never know! I would much rather deal with the morning sickness for 32 straight weeks then be on the other side of the door wishing I could shoulder some of the discomfort to no avail.) Over the past few weeks we have made our home “baby ready”. My OCD kicked in full force about the time we started planning our nursery and the house has never been so clean or organized. There have been

many days that Kevin will come home from work to find dirty floors, a sink full of dishes and no supper plans, but me just sooooo proud of my accomplishments for the day. On three separate occasions I reorganized the kitchen to better suit my mostly imagined needs. I also became obsessed with completing the “deep clean” and scrubbed floors with a hand held brush before mopping “just to be thorough”. Our wrapping paper has been sorted by special occasion, our junk drawer cleaned and labeled and every conceivable surface wiped down at least once. I love having a clean home, but this whole “nesting” instinct is rather exhausting! On the other hand, considering the sheer amount of “stuff ” that a new baby brings to a home, nesting is likely necessary to help prepare the space to keep everything at a time when rolling over in bed can seem an Olympic task. I love our little nursery. A bright and welcoming room furnished with my grandmother's rocking chair and dressers and decorated with mementos from my and Kevin's childhoods. My Little Pony and Secret Keepers share space with stuffed cows and wooden air planes- the perfect combination of Kevin's world and mine- hopefully baby Crealock will grow to appreciate and love these items as much as we did. The Crealock family cradle is all set and ready for use in the living room while a sweet little bassinet is just waiting for baby in our room. All in all, sleepless nights, morning sickness and crazed hormones included at 39 weeks and counting I have enjoyed my pregnancy. Now hurry up Baby Crealock - Mommy and Daddy can’t wait to meet you! 0001

HAMPTON PIGGS PEAK NEWS
Friday Fakudze
The mission of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is to reduce the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland. Although there is still no cure for AIDS, the treatment of HIV in North America has improved enormously in recent years. "HIV really is a chronic disease now," says Brad Hare, MD, medical director of the HIV/AIDS Division at San Francisco General Hospital. "It's like diabetes or high blood pressure." As long as you manage it well, you should expect a long, healthy life.” But in Africa the reality is much different. Without access to antiretroviral therapy, or ART, countries like Swaziland, which has the highest incidence of AIDS in the world, are still overwhelmed by the “scourge” of AIDS. (The fact that AIDS is still called a “scourge” in Swaziland speaks volumes) On my first trip to Piggs Peak, I had the pleasure to meet Rev Friday Fakudze, pastor at Nazarene Church bin Piggs Peak. In a letter I received from Rev Fakudze we are reminded of the children who are affected by the loss of parents who die from AIDS. Friday tells the story of a girl who is taking care of her mother, feeding her and providing medication, after her father had already died. “At one instance the child brought food for her mum in the morning before she left for school. When
coming back from school she finds that the food has not been eaten. She prepared another dish because she thought that maybe her mum did not like the food she prepared. When she put the next dish and told her mum to eat, her mum did not respond to her. At sunset a relative came to see the sick. She found the child and asks, “How is your mum?” She said, “I gave her food in the morning but she did not eat and when I came back from school I did the same but she did not respond to me.” When the relative saw the child’s mother she realized she was dead. While stories like this are hard to imagine for us here in Canada, they are far too common in Swaziland and remind us of the disparity between our two countries. Many families in Swaziland live on remote homesteads where children like the girl in the story are often left on their own when their parents die. By providing an education for children like this we are bringing them “into the fold” and providing a support system that might not otherwise be present.

Time speeds on, one year has passed Since death its gloom, its shadow Cast within our home, Where all seemed bright, And took from us a shining light. We miss that light and ever will, His vacant place there is none to fill. Down here we mourn, but not in vain, For up in Heaven we will meet again.

DCPD or Direct compension property damage We all pay for dcpd in our own policies and the premiums are based on the vehicles year, make, model, value & condition. It covers us if we are involved in an accident that is not our fault.
Rather than deal with the responsible parties insurance company we now deal with our own. The claim gets reported to your own insurance company and they look after your damages without a deductible. These claims are not rated against us even though our own insurer is paying the claims as they only cover not at fault accidents. The responsible party’s damages are then paid through their collision and they are rated for the accident.
Keep in mind that if you carry collision on your vehicle, there would not be a delay in repairing your vehicle if the fault was being disputed. You could simply repair your vehicle under collision while the adjusters decide who is at fault. Contact us for an estimate for any of your Commercial, Personal or Life Insurance needs.

New Brunswick Day! THE BEAUTY OF NEW BRUNSWICK A boat riding the waves with wind in its sails. A lion across the top; dancing in yellow, orange and red. Fierce and adventurous with a go anywhere, do anything attitude: the symbol of our province. New Brunswick is recognized across Canada as the heart of the Maritimes; chock full of seaside culture and charming eastern hospitality. Everywhere we go and everything we do is a showcase of our big personalities and fun loving nature. New Brunswick takes the crowd
by storm, but how did we get here? Ever since day one, New Brunswickers have been hot-wired to be risk takers. We don’t ask if something is possible until after we’ve done it and settle only for the best. Leading the pack and setting high standards for other Canadian provinces to follow is second-nature to us. For instance, New Brunswick was the first bilingual province in the country, and remains the only one. It is a common practice among businesses to have at least one bilingual employee, giving the option to the customer to use their language of preference. This

New Brunswick also takes the cake in embracing our First Nations communities. Both the provincial government and smaller independent companies offer many opportunities to learn of the heritage of First Nations people from the First Nations themselves. One example is Kouchibouguac National Park located just south of Miramichi. Established in 1969 and meaning river of the long tides, this beautiful beach front paradise is known for scenic beaches, extensive walking and biking trails and is home to the Mi’kmaq. Members of this First Nations group hold; a presentation, arts and crafts, story-telling and guided walks through the trails, giving the park visitors insight into the culture and traditions that many have overlooked. Our province has also had a hand in shaping the world as a whole. Look to John Peters Humphrey, from little

old Hampton. Bullied from a young age about his missing arm, it was this man that created the first ever charter of rights for the United Nations: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He was one of the first true role models for people to follow, and maybe the most overlooked part about John Peters Humphrey, he did all of his studies right here in New Brunswick! Another piece of our province that is rarely noticed is our food industry. Food production in the area is immense and global demand is higher than ever. New Brunswick is home to a thriving seafood industry that is incredibly well known elsewhere in the world. Our lobster is shipped across the globe with people willing to pay top dollar, and no one makes better scallops than those in Bouctouche. It’s genuinely incredible that we think of Spain, France and Italy as home of the most wanted food imports and yet here is our seafood right up there with them! It sometimes slips our minds that the region of the chickadee was one of the four founding provinces of the original
Canada, making the province 150 years old. With an age like that one would think that we would be stuck in our ways, an endless pane of boring greys and whites with no joy anymore, but no. Instead we stand proud with our incredible culture. New Brunswick holds one of the craziest festivals in the east: Buskers by the Bay. This festival is hosted every year in Saint John and is a must see for everyone. All performers are handpicked and hold a huge amount of entertainment, right in our back yard! But the culture of our province really shines through in the Saint John City Market. The oldest of its type in Atlantic Canada, the Market is home to all that is New Brunswick. With everything from local Artists who paint scenes of our beautiful province to fudge makers and foreign cuisine to tempt your taste buds, the Market has a section for every part that makes up us. Perhaps the best part of New Brunswick is that which many of us forget: it is our Home. Home is something that cannot be explained, it’s not just a place but it is also a feeling, one that

is almost indescribable. To put it as simply as possible, to everyone other than you, house is just that, a house. However to you it is your home. To the rest of Canada, New Brunswick is just another province, but to us it is home. Yes there are many of us who leave for work or other reasons, but we never forget where we came from. New Brunswick is not just a province; for those of us who were born here, it is where we all grew up, where our friends are, and our families are here. For those who moved here, its vibrant culture, rich history and accepting nature acts as the perfect foundation to build upon. We definitely do not live in a perfect province, but who does? All that matters is that we New Brunswicker’s have done amazing things and this wonderful place always will be our home. Tyler Magee Grade 11 student at KV High School

LIFE BALANCE KEEP LOVE ALIVE How to Keep Love Alive in Long-Term Relationships? “Love is something you do for someone else, not something you do for yourself.”- Dr. Gary Chapman. The honeymoon phase is said to last about two years. During this time, the romantic love that is deeply rooted in our psychological makeup is evident in our everyday interactions with our
14
partner. It is during this euphoric state that we become obsessed with the other person. This ecstasy-filled stage in the relationship leads us to believe that we, as a couple, are invincible, and that our love will last forever. Eventually, however, we descend from this fantasy land. Our eyes open, and we begin to see the imperfections,
the annoying mannerisms, and our partner’s capacity to hurt us. We begin a new stage of the relationship where a look can hurt and where words can crush. What emerges from this honeymoon phase is a love that requires effort, care, discipline, patience and compromise. Dr. Chapman, author of the book The Five Love Languages, offers a strategy to help keep love alive once the honeymoon stage is long gone. The love languages that make up this strategy include: quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service and physical touch. Essentially, he states that if our partner ‘speaks’ our primary love language on a regular basis (i.e.: provides words of affirmation), then our love tank will remain full, and our capacity to deal with everyday struggles within our relationship will improve. It is very possible that one partner’s primary love language is different than the other partner’s primary love language. As a response to this, Dr. Chapman maintains that love is intentional and can be seen as an attitude (i.e.: I am with you and choose to make you happy). Consequently, he suggests that a choice we have in our relationship is to adopt our partner’s primary love language, and to incorporate it in our daily interactions with them. Aside from helping us better deal with everyday struggles, having our significant other speak our primary language can also lead us to feel more secured, accepted and desired. It is a clear message that the other person is looking out for our best interest and is committed to our we l l being. 0040

ROOTS OF EMPATHY
LOCAL FOOD BANKS RECEIVE DONATIONS
Families for 2016/2017 The 2017 Roots of Empathy Year End Celebration was recently held at Hampton Elementary School. 14 “tiny teachers” and their families attended along with classroom teachers, principals, instructors and community volunteers. Roots of Empathy has reached over 20,000 children since its launch in 2002-2003 in New Brunswick. The heart of Roots of Empathy is the neighbourhood parent and infant who join the instructor in the classroom for family visits. An instructor visits the classroom 27 times over the school year and for nine of the visits the Roots of Empathy family joins the instructor in the classroom. In the Anglophone School District, Saint John and Hampton Education Centres, 25 classes had Roots of Empathy offered in their classroom during the 20162017 school year. In the short term, Roots of Empathy focuses on raising levels of empathy, resulting in more respectful and caring relationships and reduced levels of bullying and aggression. Students learn about neuroscience and experience baby development and growth over that first year. Info: rootsofempathy.org. 4614

HHS CLASS OF 2017 Well, it’s hard to believe, but another school year has ended and the graduating events were a big success. On behalf of the 2017 graduating class of Hampton High School, I would like to thank all of the people who made our graduation events possible. Thank you to the staff of Hampton High School. The teachers, educational assistants, administration, administrative assistants and the custodians all have a role to play in graduation events and their work is greatly appreciated. The baccalaureate service held at the Hampton United Church was coordinated by Kim Forsythe-Law and her committee of parent volunteers. It was a wonderful evening of preparation for the grad events of the week. Thank you also to Janet Kidd for coordinating the music for the service and to the Hampton United Church choir for leading the music at the service. Thank you to the town of Hampton for all they did to prepare for the Grand March. Even though there was
a threat of rain, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the hundreds of community members who came out to see the grads parade through our beautiful courtyard and town square. Thank you also to the RCMP for controlling the traffic in that area and to the Hampton Lions Club for assisting with parking. The parent volunteers who decorated for the prom and the prom dinner put in hours of planning and worked tirelessly to transform the gym, the school courtyard and the Seniors Resource Center. A special thank you to Sherman St. Germain, Michele MacDougall, Andrea and Joe Pelham and Liz and David Evans who coordinated the various decorating committees. The outdoor decorations were enhanced by a hay wagon. Thank you to Dave Hanson for the wagon, Gordie Williams for the hay and Bill MacDougall for transporting the wagon to the school. The graduation reception was coordinated by Anne Sullivan and her committee of grade 11 students and
their parents and it was appreciated by hundreds of people who attended the graduation. Thank you to the Dr. V.A. Snow Centre for donating the beautiful cake. Safe grad was a big success as well and thanks to the Hampton Lions club, led by Isabelle Simpson, the grads were fed all night while they enjoyed many activities at Base Gagetown. Then in the morning the students enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Hampton Bible Camp. It was coordinated by Michele MacDougall and her team of parent volunteers. I would also like to thank the following businesses who donated products and/ or services over the year for our grad class events: Java Moose, Kredl’s, Shaw Signs, Sobeys Quispamsis, Hampton Home Hardware, Tracey’s Vending, Durnians, Jamie’s Independent Grocer and Tim Horton’s. The generosity of the community of Hampton is overwhelming and our grads are very blessed to live in a community that is so supportive! 4598

TENDING TO MY PATCH HOW TO TREAT TOMATO BLIGHT How is blight identified? Blight can be difficult to spot at first, which in turn may allow the disease to spread and possibly cause significant damage before it is treated. Conscientious gardeners notice blight in its early stages: when small black or brown circles begin to form on the lower leaves of the plant. The spot usually consists of a dark outer ring with a lighter center. As blight spreads, the number of spots multiply and the leaves begin to turn yellow. The fungus moves up the plant, damaging the leaves in its path. What harm does blight cause? Blight can completely destroy your tomato crop. If you do not attempt to treat it, your plants may not form fruit or even flower effectively. If you discover blight, you must attempt to treat it. How is blight treated? The first step in stemming the spread of blight is to remove all of the damaged leaves. This is a painful process, but it must
be done in order to keep the disease from spreading. Wash your hands in between plants so as to keep from spreading blight to healthy plants or leaves. Dispose of infected leaves away from your garden. Blight lives in the ground, and by leaving infected leaves on the soil you will be furthering the spread. You will also need to plant your tomatoes in a different location for the next few years, as blight will continue to be present in the soil. Next, you must purchase a fungicide that will halt the spread of the blight. Organic growers choose a natural, copper solution, though many other products are on the market. Visit your local garden center, nursery or hardware store to find a fungicide which targets blight on tomatoes. Generally, you will need to dilute the product in water and use a spray bottle to apply it thoroughly to the entire plant. Spray until the plant's

leaves are dripping with the solution. Though you should always read the directions carefully, you will probably be instructed to apply it once a week and after rains. After you begin spray-treating your tomato plants, continue to check for the spread of blight and remove damaged leaves. Though this process is tedious, it is the only way of minimizing the damage to your plants and encouraging as much tomatoproduction as possible. 0034

advertise our intentions to open, we were good to go on the third day. How significant, that in three days time hopelessness was transformed into hopefulness... God at work! Wednesday morning, opening day, volunteers on hand and a band of eight hungry people were waiting for food and clothing; with great joy, and not a little amazement, we found there were enough supplies for each family and at the end of the morning we went home, very conscious of the abundance of God’s power and love. It had been decided to open every Wednesday morning and on the Tuesday evening of the second week a volunteer received a call from a young and desperate mother who had moved from a furnished apartment to an unfurnished one in order to save money; she asked if we had a couch to give away, needless to say we had not, but she was assured that if one came our way we would give it to her. On Wednesday
morning, a young man who had been to the facility the week before came in and a box of food was handed to him, his response was, “Thanks, but I don’t need food this week, I just wondered if you know of anyone who needs a couch?” He was moving from an unfurnished to a furnished apartment. The stories of remarkable provisions for assorted needs over the 32 years would fill a large book! The volunteers, old, young and very young; the local lawyer who offered to do our legal work; the wonderful ladies of the area who knit throughout the year to provide warm winter wear; the school children and staff, churches and service clubs who organize food drives and donate impressive funds; the generous businesses who provide a continuous source of food and service; the Accountant in Saint John who audits the books without charge; CBC Harbour Lights; Community Gardeners; and the host of individuals who donate time talent and treasures all combine to
make this wonderful outreach work. We are encouraged by our history, His story really; little ones no longer trudge through snow will holes in their shoes, they no longer go to bed hungry; fresh fruit, milk, meat and healthy foods are providing nourishment that was missing, such as will enable them to grow and learn, hopefully to move away from the poverty cycle. Other clients, often doing without vital medications and healthy food are enjoying a better quality of life and are encouraged by the love and compassion that is shown them. The clients who come to us have become friends over the years, we hear their stories of hardship and encourage and advise as best we can; they express their gratitude and we are blessed to be the channels through which the generosity, compassion and love of the people of this area can flow. Our thanks to all who help in any way are ongoing and most sincere. Blessings to all.

FAMILY MATTERS LEARNING TO LISTEN AND ATTEND If you get frustrated with trying to get your kid to listen, take heart, you’re not alone. We all know that listening and attending are crucial skills for success and for getting along socially in life but teaching kids this can be hard. We also know that learning how to listen does not happen by chance. You are your child’s best instructor. Listening and sustaining attention can help inform your child of hazards, provide opportunities for learning, and open doors to new friendships. Here is an easy 5 step process to help catch your child’s attention and promote active listening. Talk After You Have Attention. If your child is not listening, get her attention and make sure she’s looking at you before you speak. You might squat down to her level, or give a verbal cue to get her attention. You can try saying “I have something to share, tell me when you’re ready.”

The Hampton Herald
Talk Eye to Eye. Speak only when you’re eye to eye. You are more likely to have your child’s full attention when you’re looking in his or her eyes. Teach your family that when listening you always look at the color of the talker’s eyes. Eye contact helps to ensure your child is engaged in the conversation. You can try saying “it is important I see your eyes when I speak, look at me please”. Talk in a Low Slow Voice. Nothing makes it harder to listen than hearing someone yell. Avoid the common statements, “that’s the fourth time I told you!” or “didn’t you hear anything I just said?” Try the opposite and talk softly and slowly. You’ll be surprised how well it works. Talk Using Short Phrases. Use phrases or questions that will keep your kiddo’s attention. These phrases should offer consistency and routine. When you use the same parenting phrases again and again, your child learns your phrases
and how to respond or problem solve in response. Phrases offer short bursts of communication and can be as simple as “can you show me how you would….”, or “can we try ….. instead?” Keep Them Hooked. To keep your child’s attention, you should keep it relevant. Conversations that don’t catch the needs, wants or motivations of your child will be lost. This week engage in meaningful conversations with you children and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

IN THE GARDEN EVERYTHING’S COMING UP ROSES Everything’s coming up Roses, Stephen Sondheim got it right! If we are to get the longest display possible a simple, delightful action is of number one priority; deadheading! This is such a joy and I take the opportunity, both morning and evening during the cooler parts of the day, to wander with small secateurs and snip off all the spent blooms; the fragrance in the early morning just can’t help but start the day on an almost spiritual high and at nightfall...well what better way to fall asleep with all that beauty filling your mind and as you empty the spent flowers on your compost container you are filled with wonder at the bounty that has been and will continue to be yours! Speaking of composting; there are many gardeners who view this process with all the integrity and scholarship of a scientist, layering detritus in an organized manner and dutifully stirring, rotating and moving the stuff around. I have found
however that that process is a bit of a make work project and choose the lazy lady’s route! I have three bins made of wooden planks four foot long, placed into slotted metal posts which are designed for this very purpose, making a four foot cube. The first bin is filled up during year one with absolutely anything that will rot, the addition of manure, of any animal that is not human, canine or feline can be added with great advantage, either farm fresh, rotted or bagged and that will speed up the process quite a lot. At the end of the year the bin is totally abandoned for three years; then, the now transformed content can be scooped up and used as potting soil, top dressing or simply dug into the garden plot and the plants will romp along to the finish line, big, beautiful, bounty to boast about. Repeat with bins two and three on successive years and you may never have to buy top soil again. The next blossoms on the market will be the wide variety of Day Lilies; their
season, because of the large number of cultivars, can give blooms from early July until frost and the range of colour available is extensive...but, day is the operative word here, these lovelies need daily attention and unless they are dead headed every day their capacity to flourish will diminish with each passing day of neglect. If dealt with as they deserve, the garden will not be without glorious colour from here to post frost time; worth a bit of effort to guarantee a continuous array of blooms…..Happy hunting, Blessings, Betty. 0039
