The Hampton Herald
It is unfortunate that in New Brunswick we have a massive concentration of ownership within the newspaper industry. I do mean the Irvings. That elderly Hickey lady is still back in second place. The reason why this is bad?? Good questions that should be asked by our newspapers are sadly missing. Whether, you are pro-Irving or antiIrving... I am somewhere in between on most days... there really should be a debate about their powerful role within the province and how can we enhance the good stuff and minimize the bad stuff. Is it right that the only “Provincial” newspaper, the Telegraph Journal, flogs the government to get fracking in what seems like every second editorial written. Any thoughts about where this profracking opinion comes from?? I didn’t think so. How about, what I would call their hyper-competitiveness. In a document submitted to the Competition Bureau by Ken Langdon of what was then the Carleton Free Press, he refers to a
meeting of Brunswick News managers that he attended. To the question asked about what was planned for dealing with Ossekeag Publishing, the reply from the vice-president was essentially “drive them out of business”. I know how I feel about that reply, but a debate should ask the question whether such a competitive attitude towards locally owned small business is good for the Province. With many years of working with local businesses I personally suspect that the small business community in New Brunswick is smaller and less vital than in many other parts of Canada. Is Irving domination, a factor?? If we wish to have a strong vital economy in this province, any sensible analysis cannot avoid “The Irving question”. Let the debate begin!! 0001 Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing
NAUWIGEWAUK DARLINGS SENIORS The regular monthly meetings of the Nauwigewauk Darlings were held at the Nauwigewauk Community Hall on June 8 and July 13. Nancy Ketchum, the President, called the meetings to order. Members sang O Canada followed by the Lord’s Prayer. The Secretary, June Bull, read the Minutes of the meetings and the Treasurer, Jean Johnson, gave her reports. All committee reports were given as well. Several of our members attended the meeting in Quispamsis, sponsored by the Coalition of Seniors, to try and understand what the government is trying to do with regard to seniors in nursing homes. There is another meeting to be held in Sussex shortly. We are always looking for new members. Meetings start at 1:30pm and are held on the second Monday of every month. Anyone who is interested, please feel free to come to our meetings. The next one will be on August 10 at 1:30pm. In June, after our meeting, we went to the Mediterranean for lunch. In July, we had a beautiful drive through the country and arrived at the Corn Hill Nursery for lunch, followed by birthday cake for Nancy Ketchum and Clarence Smith, who celebrate birthdays this month. Submitted by June E. Bull, Secretary. 0036
GIRL GUIDES ALIVE & WELL IN HAMPTON The first Girl Guide Unit in New Brunswick opened in Hampton in 1909; although it was not officially registered until 1915, it was still the first in the province. Our uniforms have changed, as has our promise but the camping fun, learning about nature, doing service
projects, having fun, playing games, singing and learning life skills are still a large part of our program. We no longer sell calendars or soap but have two cookie campaigns, which help to pay for camps, special events, program supplies and support for international trips. The Hampton girls are part of the Blue Water District, which also includes Kingston Peninsula. The Hampton unit belongs to the Kennebecasis area, which stretches from Rothesay to Sussex Corner and Kingston to Upham. We have Sparks (ages 5 & 6); Brownies (ages 7 & 8); Guides (ages 9-11); Pathfinders (ages 1215) and Rangers (ages 16-18). Our unit is is small, dedicated group of Guiders and we would welcome you to join us to lead the girls in their programs. If you are interested in joining as an adult leader or would like to join as a girl member, please call 1-800-565-8111 or check us out on our website: girlguides.ca. Be sure to join us in late August for an afternoon of fun and reminiscing. Watch for further information. 3605

GET FISHING EVERY KID IS DIFFERENT When I was a kid I loved spending as much time in the woods as I could. Dad and I would hike for hours into one of our favorite lakes, or sometimes use an ATV and fish all day long. Often, when weather and time allowed we would camp overnight by the water’s edge. For me this was the perfect way to spend my summer days! I have a brother, just a few years younger who didn’t share this passion for the outdoors. For him, time was better spent on the ball field or his bike playing with friends. We were, and still are really, two different kids. Now that I’m a Dad, with two boys a few years apart in age, I’m discovering that my kids are very similar in their differences to those between my brother and I - 30 plus years ago! Like me, my youngest son at just 4 years old, has a love for sport of
4
fishing. I’ve had him on the back of my kayak casting lines for 6 to 8 hours at a time, and when it’s time to paddle back to shore, he’s somewhat sad that it’s time to stop. On the other hand, my older boy at 7 has little patience for fishing. He is proud of the fish he’s caught (including a 3 foot sturgeon), and will join me from time to time; however after an hour or two I know he’s ready to head back home. Learning how to read a child’s reaction to those activities you want to encourage is an important skill for any parent. This holds true for anything really, be it sports, music or so forth. There really isn’t any benefit to trying to force a child to love something you as a parent may be passionate about. To try and work around this, I’m hoping my older son will learn to enjoy being around the water in other ways. He is a great swimmer and now has his own kayak he can use to either fish from or just paddle around in. I’m hoping by taking him camping,
swimming and paddling, he’ll opt to pick up the rod from time to time, catch a fish and perhaps discover a love for fishing in his own way. For those with very young kids and are concerned about the danger that hooks may pose, here is a tip that I use with my youngest. Try using weedless hooks! These hooks have a small guard protecting the point which will greatly reduce any chance of an accidental ear piercing! They will also greatly reduce the number of times you have to rescue the hook from those weeds your child just can’t seem to avoid. 0044

She loved bowling, knitting and cooking, but most of all she loved spending time with her family and friends. She and Ed greatly enjoyed spending time with their
grandchildren, this included travelling to sports games and attending special events.

POINT OF VIEW SCREAMING KID SPECIAL Darla Neugebauer has got the whole world talking. The American diner owner came under fire this past week for yelling at a crying child inside her Portland, Maine eating establishment. News of her angry outburst spread like wildfire and everyone was quick to share an opinion. Many were outraged that this woman dare yell at someone else's crying child, while others praised her for taking a stance against parents who ignore their children when dining out. The owner says she became increasingly frustrated after a couple ordered their two-year-old daughter pancakes and then didn't feed them to her, causing her to cry loudly for close to 40 minutes. After repeated attempts to get the get the couple to leave, Neugebauer says she finally slammed her hands on the counter and yelled “this has to stop.” The
child looked at her and promptly stopped crying. So thaaaat's the secret! Despite an angry backlash on social media from people who claim they'll never eat at her restaurant again, the woman is standing by her pancakes, and her actions. “Life's full of choices and you've got to live with all of them”, she said. “I chose to yell at a kid, it made her shut up, which made me happy, it made my staff happy, it made the 75 other people dining here happy, and they left.” One online poll on the topic indicated that 72 per cent said someone should thank her, three per cent said it was totally inappropriate and the remaining 25 per cent said she should have gone about it a different way. I'm siding with the 25 per cent on this one. Without a doubt, the owner handled the situation badly. But, where were the parents in all of this? Who lets their child cry in a restaurant for that length of time and does nothing? Really? Just because a restaurant has a children's menu, crayons, cups with lids and
happens to be loud, doesn't mean you don't have to parent. The truth is that nobody thinks your child is as cute and perfect as you do. Standing on chairs, running around, dancing between tables, yelling and screaming is not enjoyable – for anyone. Having children and taking them out to a restaurant requires some pre-planning and common sense. Always have a few snacks or books tucked away, in case they get restless and hungry while waiting for their meal. And, stay tuned in to your child, not just your phone or the adults around you. Oh, and if you want to order the screaming kid special, might I suggest you get it to go? 0032

LISTEN IN LIVE MUSIC ON THE PENINSULA I love when a good concert comes to a unique venue. As a fan of older interesting buildings with character, none make for a better venue than an old school house, barn or in this case an old church with a lot of wood to hug the music. It also makes for an ideal listening room where real music lovers can truly enjoy the music and camaraderie of community. The Trinity Church in Kingston has some amazing shows coming up over the next few months. I asked Rev. Peter Gillies why events such as these are so important to have in the church? “For a long time churches were the centre of their community. Often the biggest building; bigger than the school even! We felt that the churches in our care should return to those roots. The Anglican Parish of Kingston has a home parish church, Trinity, and three Chapels of Ease here on the Peninsula - four old churches, all historically significant in their own way.
We have a responsibility to use them and care for them even though there are no where near as many Christians as there once were. The money that comes in helps maintain these buildings for sure, but you know, that’s not really what it is all about. We already have fundraisers mostly built around food! Things like our Spring Tea and our Autumn Salmon Dinner. Folks come from all over for those.” Like anything or anywhere worth going, whether it be a five star restaurant everyone is talking about or a must see performance these events and venue’s are destination places worth the trip. “Allowing our church-houses to be venues for community events, especially the arts, takes us back to those times when the church was the patron of music. On the one hand, it gives our churches new life and on the other, allows those who come hear the music to see that we are alive and care for the communities in which we live. It brings the arts into the community. Hey, if you want to see Lloyd Cole in NB this year you will have drive to beautiful
Kingston and hear him in a beautiful 226 year old church-house.” Rev. Peter Gillies enthusiastically tells me on what these shows mean to the greater community as a whole. The series kicks off with one of the finest songwriters, Lloyd Cole (formally Lloyd Cole & the Commotions fame) on Saturday, July 25 with special guest Lullaby Baxter & Robinson St.George. For tickets contact the Imperial theatre Box Office or call the parish at 763-3183. Check out: www.lloydcole.com. Other shows coming up at Trinity include: August 14 - Country Gospel Night; August 20 - Before the Mast; September 11 - Kitchen Party with Ivan & Vivian Hicks; September 25 - The Sea bells; October 25 - Men in Music and November 26 - Stephanie Mainville.

Reconciling your grief will not happen quickly. Remember, grief is a process, not an event. Be patient and tolerant with yourself. Never forget that the death of someone you loved changes your life forever. It’s not that you won’t be happy again. It’s simply that you will never be exactly the same as you were before the death. “The experience of grief is powerful. So, too, is your ability to help yourself heal. In doing the work of grieving, you are moving toward a renewed sense of meaning and purpose in your life.” Dr, Alan D. Wolfelt

HAMPTON STORE CLOSING Hampton’s front street will be different with the Hampton Hardware (Snow’s) closing soon. It is currently having its “going out of business sale.” It is a trip back in time to visit this building. The bins of nails, the old shelves, the well-worn floor boards, the rope coiling up through the floor from the basement, and of course the helpful, obliging staff. To enlarge on this last point let me give a personal account. Several years ago, when my father was sick, the clothes-line broke at home. My mother telephoned Snow’s and told them of her problem. John Snow came over with a new line and put it up for her. Now that is service! And knowing John, he did it with a smile. Jeff Snow also provided that ‘service with a smile” always willing to go the extra mile. This business will be missed. Let’s look briefly, at the history of the area. There are three buildings that one seemed to talk about at one time when discussing this area. One was the above mentioned hardware store (Lot 1 for convenience in this article.) Lot 2 will be the building to the left of Lot 1, for many years called the “Morrison Store” or more recently the beauty parlour building. To the right of Lot 2 is a vacant lot, which will I refer to as Lot 3. Back in the 1880’s - 1890’s a wooden three-story building (Lot 1) was connected to a smaller, two-storey structure (Lot 2). This complex made up the Leonard Hotel. The taller portion was the “rooming section”, while the lower portion was rented out to various businesses. In November 1894 the first issue of “The Kings County News” was published in
the low building. Mr. Clarence Spooner, the managing editor, printed the weekly here until July 1896; at that point the paper was moved to a building which sat on stilts over the Ossekeag Creek, near the entrance to today’s Rotary Nature Park. The paper was printed here until 1899. When Mr. Spooner left the lower part of the Leonard Hotel, the space was rented by the Home Comfort Steel Range Company. The press of the day notes: “They arrived in the community with fourteen horses and eight wagons and a large number of men.” In time (1894-1895) a veterinary dentist set up shop and we learn that “horse owners are surprised at the difference a little filling makes with their horses.” (have often wondered if it might have been a printing error and the word should be “filing”.) Later that same year “Painless Parker” was in town with his “Parker Concert Company”, entertaining the people and carrying on dentistry work. Charles K. Leonard, the proprietor of the hotel, charged a dollar a day for lodging; his son erected a barber pole on the building and opened “a hairdressing establishment.” The complex burned before 1910. The vacant lot was filled with “twin buildings”. The first one (Lot 2) served as a shoe and clothing store, operated by Lewis French. In 1915 he held a “Clearance Sale” of men’s heavy winter shirts to $.90, ladies’ house dress $.80 and men’s collars (3 for $.28). Later Mrs. E. S. Campbell ran a store in the same location and lived on the upper floor of the building. A fire, in February 1932, destroyed the building. Two of

the people escaping from the Campbell dwelling, where they lodged, were Dr. A. T. Leatherbarrow and Dr. John J. Ryan (of Ryan’s Castle fame). A new building - still standing (but vacant; 2015) was erected in 1934. In 1939 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Morrison took over the building. Following her husband’s death, Mrs. Morrison continued to run the grocery store until December 1978. Many tenants used the building - Joe Day for a political office, Hughes Survey Ltd., a cooking enterprise, various beauty establishments, and even the Hampton Pharmacy when its main store burned. There was a small section in the left of the above building. Mr. Frank McPheron, a tailor, worked from here. In 1939 the New Brunswick Telephone Company rented this section and remained there until 1965, when automatic dialing came to Hampton. After this there were several tenants in the small section including, the Welfare Department, the Children’s Air, Keith Hope (a surveyor), Jim Urquhart (a lawyer), Brian Reid (an accountant), Mrs. Monteith and her “Ye Olde Book Shoppe” - still later she sold yarn. Many other small businesses have located here. The second of the “twin buildings” (Lot 1) held a hardware store. J. William Smith was the proprietor. In 1932 when he was lighting the fire in the basement furnace, the flames engulfed the area and the building caught fire and spread to four other structures on the main street. J. William Smith rebuilt and continued in business until 1935. He retired because of ill health. The new owners,

no relation to the previous owner, were Robert A. Smith and his son, William. In 1965 Ross Northrup took over the business. Later Charles Northrup, a distant relative, assumed ownership. In the mid-1970’s John and Jeff Snow became associated with the hardware store. On the vacant lot (Lot 3) beside Snow’s Hardware once stood Smith’s Hall. This was built by Dr. J. Newton Smith. The building was destroyed by fire and in 1899 he had it replaced by William Langstroth, a carpenter. This second Smith’s Hall was destroyed in the 1932 fire. The occupants in Smith’s Hall were varied. Here are a few of the tenants: George Frost (a druggist); H. S. Langstroth (a dentist), H. J. Evans (agent for the Berliner Gramophone, 1887); Thomas C. Donald (druggist); John Webster (watchmaker and Jeweller); the Bank of Nova Scotia; Frank Compton (a druggist) and a Chinese laundry. The top part of the Hall was for community events. It was here that shorthand and typing classes were held in 1894 and in the same year the “Teachers’ Institute for Kings County, held their sessions.”
The lot remained vacant for a long period after the 1932 fire. In 1954 Waldo “Buster” Melick had a small building constructed for his “Melick’s Remedies and Sundries.” He enlarged the building in the late 1970’s. Part of the building was later placed behind Snow’s Hardware and the remaining portion demolished. Anyone who lived in Hampton During “Buster’s” era has wonderful stories to tell about their visits to his small enterprise. I would be remiss if I did not tell a couple of stores about this area. At one point Annie Smith, the wife of Dr. J. Newton Smith, took the key and went into Smith’s Hall. Somehow while in the building she broke some dishes. Dr. Smith, in 1904, took her to court over this. The only clue to this was a small item in the press where the judge told them to go home and see if they could settle the matter themselves. I have never found any reference that the case went any further. I just have to relate these - (1) One lady of the area remembered how Dr. Smith would “pull a tooth for 25 cents and then give the money back tothe person.” (2) Dr. Smith is said to have removed all

his own teeth. A final story. It relates to the building which previously stood on the lot of the present Snow’s Hardware. It happened during the time of J. William Smith’s ownership. “In the 1920’s Murray Baird, a clerk in the hardware store, was approached by two people carrying guns. Once motioned for him to go the basement, while the other went for the cash in the register. As they approached the bottom step Mr. Baird managed to get the gun away from the intruder. The two wouldbe-thieves raced from the building. Mr. Baird, in pursuit, rushed from the store calling for help. The bank teller, brandishing a gun which was always kept on the top of the teller’s counter, hurried from Smith’s Hall. Mr. Baird and the teller found the two culprits in the alley between Mrs. E. S. Campbell’s building and the hardware store. Hampton’s “Wild West” story ended as the two were marched up the street to jail.” So as Hampton Hardware (Snow’s) closes, a piece of Hampton’s story becomes part of our memories. Submitted by David G. Keirstead.

IN THE GARDEN DROPS OF RAIN AND GARDENING OPPORTUNITIES Little drops of water, little grains of sand make the mighty ocean and the beauteous land. ~ Julia Carney. Bearing in mind the horrific drought conditions that are present throughout this great continent, I assume that no one is complaining about the weather! When our soil is nicely soaked it is the ideal opportunity to transplant the early flowering perennials; the Primula family benefit greatly from division as do the Siberian and German Iris. In the case of German Iris, cut the foliage back to about 8” to prevent them toppling over while they establish a good root system. The Siberians often require a sturdy curved saw to get through the root system; cut pie shaped wedges and discard the centre part which usually is dying off. Primulas are easy separated into smaller clumps and spread along the borders
of the bed. As with all transplants, a totally new location is preferable and a good mix of bone meal along with some compost will give a great start to them; use only a moderate amount of bone meal, too much and the plant will ‘overeat’ and flowers will not arrive. This advice needs to be particularly taken with the veggie patch, over fertilization will generally result in a very poor yield, too much Nitrogen and the result will be magnificent foliage and no flowers or fruit. Last year was a bad one for tomatoes, with widespread blight problems. Many difficulties can be overcome by keeping the plants weed free and by picking up fallen leaves and snapping off affected ones. A solution of 1 teaspoon Epsom Salts to 550 ml water can be sprayed on the plants if the leaves turn yellow and start curling up, this is due to a Magnesium deficiency and is easily corrected. During wet weather there is a good chance that fungi and mould will cause
problems; the best prevention is to allow the crops or decorative plants a decent airflow and weeds should be removed. However, working among the veggies (particularly true with beans) on a wet day will cause any damp related problems to spread. Because of the wet weather the weeds seem to have flourished, so I simply wander around digging up the ones that are in flower first and then working on the less advanced chaps. Day Lilies are coming into their own and need daily attention; the spent blossoms can be easily snapped off, allowing the plant to continue an extended flowering. The spent blooms will often cause the emerging buds to rot, thus robbing the garden of many delights. As you ‘deadhead’ celebrate the abundance that Betty Kennett, you’ve enjoyed.

ASK THE CHEF CAESAR SALAD OR CESAR’S SALAD? Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. It seems that all the get-togethers that we go to have a variety of salads. You always see the same salads, and this led us to this week’s topic: salad. So, what is the most popular salad in the world? Around here I would say Caesar salad but in fact it is coleslaw, a simple salad of cabbage, sweet mayonnaise and white vinegar. Some people add shredded carrots or purple cabbage for colour. Other’s add fruit, like apples or raisins, for a change of flavour and texture. The slaw I like the most is a bitter green slaw which is a mix of kale, broccoli, cabbage, endive and brussel sprouts with pumpkin seed and craisins (sun dried cranberries) with a poppy seed dressing. Not only is it a tasty change, but also more healthy. Now as I said, I would think that Caesar
Salad would be the most popular salad around these parts and why not? Now do you know the history of the Caesar Salad? Well, different countries have taken responsibility for this salad but this is the story I believe. First, it was Cesar not Caesar and it was named after a maitre d’hotel on a cruise ship and his name was Cesar. He was Mexican, not Italian or Greek. He started making the salad at the table for his most important customers and in a very short period of time, all the passengers were asking for Cesar’s salad. So if you would like to make your own Caesar Salad dressing, this is how you do it. You need the following: 1 egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon of crushed garlic, 1/2 oz of red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp of dijon mustard, 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 piece of anchovy (yes you need the anchovy) and a lemon. Now you can do this in a bowl or throw it into the blender. It will come out thicker in the blender, so I would suggest doing it that way until you perfect your recipe. Add the egg yolk, dijon, garlic and anchovy

together in a bowl and whisk until they become one. Add vinegar and whisk. Slowly add the oil. If you pour too quickly it will not incorporate and it is not easy to get the proper consistency; not as much of an issue with the blender. Squeeze half a lemon and whisk. You will see your dressing getting whiter. This is from the acid in the lemon juice, it bleaches your dressing making it lighter in colour, but is also a very important ingredient in your dressing. Add your chopped romaine, parmesan cheese, bacon bits and croutons to the same bowl and toss together until all leaves are coated with dressing. You can have some extra cheese, croutons and bacon available to garnish your salad if you want. I mean who doesn’t want extra right? 0040 Colin Sifton Owner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

MUSINGS TALE OF TWO FISHIES Actually it is a tale of two fish tanks, but somehow that didn’t have the right “feel” to it! Tank # 1: Many years ago when my kids were young, I had a 10 gallon fish tank that housed a beauty of a Betta Fish. If you are not familiar with these fish, they are beautiful little guys with long flowing fins and tails, but they aren’t necessarily very friendly with other fish so they tend to live in solitary splendor in their tanks. They are okay with this and often become quite interactive with their “people”. We had “Mr Fishy” for a number of years, but eventually he died and the fish tank was retired. Fast forward to about 6 years ago when my daughter decided to adopt a couple of goldfish from a friend who was going
away to university. This went well for a while, but then life got busy and the fish got neglected so “Nana” (aka me) inherited the goldfish and the tank. So the tank has been on the corner of my kitchen counter and various fish have come and gone over time. But a 10 gallon tank cannot hold very many fish. The question became, do I want to continue to be a fish owner and go bigger or shall I get out of fish entirely? A little research revealed that a big tank is really no more work than a small tank, so then the question becomes, where would it go? A bigger tank simply WOULD NOT fit on the kitchen counter. A period of puzzling and research just how big is bigger anyway? - and I now have a 30 gallon tank and a plan for where it is going. I may take a few weeks to get it all sorted out, but now that I am committed it is exciting to be going ahead.
The lovely gentleman I got the tank from was generous in sharing his knowledge and his own set-up was absolutely awesome. The new tank will be more of a focal point in the house and I expect to enjoy watching these lovely creatures for many years to come. Yes, it is a little work (much like having a swimming pool), but the time is an investment that will be paid back in pleasure over and over again. And my cats will surely enjoy it! “A fish tank is just interactive television for cats.” ~ Oliver Gaspirtz, A Treasury of Pet Humor. 0002
