“So, what have you been up to Mikie??” Well, as usual, I like working on big projects, so I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how I could regenerate our provincial economy and by golly I think that I have a solution!! For a month now, I have been working on building a new smaller bridge across the brook that passes through the woodlot. Almost two years ago we had a large steel bridge installed that could handle a commercial harvest with heavy vehicles. This one is about a half-kilometre further downstream and will be just big enough to handle my personal tractors. In order to save money, I decided that the abutments could be done with rock and then use wood right off of the property to span the brook. So... by the bucket load, I started to collect rocks, big ones and small ones. I soon found that I had a limited opportunity for using the really big ones, especially during the early stages of construction. What I really wanted were “old man” sized flat rocks for building a nice smooth exterior wall along the stream. Never at a loss for an idea (often dumb), I grabbed an eight-pound maul, a concrete chisel and a tiny two-pound mini-maul. Since we have an abundance of fine sedimentary rock, I found that if Mother Nature hadn’t already created tiny fractures, that a couple of good swings of the maul (and only a couple) could often create manufactured fractures. A bit of chisel work into the
cracks and often within a few minutes I have flat “old man” sized rocks. I have noticed the NB government is often spending $15,000 per job created. My cost is $50 (maul, mini-maul and chisel). Score per $15,000: NB = 1 job, Mikie = 300 jobs. These jobs are well suited for our aging population (Mikie), long term, politicians and business leaders can proudly call the jobs sustainable (especially those dumb enough to refer to fracking and mining as sustainable), reduction of health care costs with all us old folks out beating on rocks, stress reduction and better mental heath (beating rocks instead of people)!! Now, every manufacturer needs customers. So I was thinking we could just lie and sell our rocks as pieces of our world famous Hopewell Rocks. Or we could of course sell them as “Pet Rocks” (what a scam that was)!! But, I am betting that China has just a ton of small streams that are just crying out for abutments and would be glad to get Made in Canada emblems on their rocks!! 0002

ANNUAL FLOWER SERVICE The Bayswater-Summerville United Church Congregation of the Two Rivers Pastoral Charge will be holding their annual Flower Service at the Summerville United Church on Sunday, July 10 at 2:00pm. This is an Annual Memorial Service where we remember and give thanks for the lives of those we have known and loved. Light refreshments and fellowship can be enjoyed following the service. The Bayswater-Summerville United Church congregation is actively involved in supporting the Breakfast Supplies Program at Macdonald Consolidated School, Peninsula Food and Clothing Bank, Coverdale Centre monthly meals program, Romero House programs in Saint John. As part of the Two Rivers Pastoral Charge, we support the Fair Trade Project through Tatamagouche Centre for the Rabinal School Scholarship Fund in Guatemala. In 2013 the Two Rivers Pastoral Charge was able to send three more children to school. This brings the total number of children to 14 since we started participating in this project in 2007. The Summerville United Church building has been a place of worship to residents on the Kingston Peninsula since its beginnings in the late 1860’s. Originally built as a non-denominational church, the story behind its start reflects the ongoing spirit and fellowship that has always characterized our community. Land was donated and neighbors offered their labour, time and skills to erect the quaint little church building that stands today as a testimonial to their generosity, faith and hard work. Those same community values remain a guiding part of the BayswaterSummerville United Church congregation. 3149

Whether you are a cancer survivor, someone who is currently battling the disease, a caregiver, a team captain, a team member, a volunteer, or someone who stopped by to see what Relay for Life was all about, thank you.
And because of you, our community raised over $13,000 and counting for the fight against cancer! A very special thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters: Caissies populaires acadiennes Ossekeag Publishing Town of Hampton Quispamsis Island View Lions Club Hovey Insurance Hampton Dental Clinic

LISTEN IN PAUL GRANNAN SHUCKFEST Over the last 14 summers the popular event we know as the Paul Grannan Annual Golf Tournament has been something many have looked forward too. It’s become a tradition where memories and fun can be had among friends and community all while raising much needed funding for The Community Foundation: Paul Grannan Fund. With this being its 15th year they have added a new and exciting event that will parlez quite well with the annual golf tournament - the Paul Grannan Shuckfest! It’s happening July 7 from 6:00-8:30pm in Market Square and will include all your entertainment, food and drink for only $75 each. For more details contact Grannan’s Seafood who is hosting this event. Don’t delay; grab your tickets now to this evening of shucking and fun all for a good cause! I had a quick chat with Chris Grannan about the new addition to the already successful event. “It was an idea Craig
Allen had to change the focus of our fundraising efforts from the Paul Grannan Golf tourney, to this festival. It fits very well for a number of reasons” Chris tells me in how it all came to fruition. “20 tables of seafood, beer and wine sampling from multiple uptown Restaurants and suppliers”. Wow that is some feast! The Kindred Brothers (fourpiece band) will complement your dining experience musically throughout the evening. I asked Chris what some of his fondest memories of his Dad (Paul) were and the lasting impression he left on him? “Well the theme of golf for many years and now the seafood and drink event are both things that he enjoyed. They speak to my memory of him and his legacy. Those two things, as well as traveling. It would be a hard thing to take 300+ people on a trip though!” It’s all on our doorstep and sure to be an unforgettable evening of Community, music, food and spirits all for a wonderful cause.
Vesey’s Seeds Have Arrived!
Hey it’s summer! I know it’s hard to tell these days, but it’s here. I asked a few musical friends what their summer music favorites to listen too on those long hot hazy days were. Some of my favorites for the summer with the windows down as we drive to the cottage include: Band of Horses (earlier albums and the new one, “Why Are You OK”), Gregory Alan Isakov – “This Empty Northern Hemisphere”, Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris – “All the Road Running” to name but a few.

OBITUARIES GORHAM, Albert W.
20 February 1926 - 5 June 2016 With great sadness the family of Albert (Bert) William Gorham of Hampton NB, mourn his passing in his 91st year. Born in Montreal, QC, he was the youngest of the 13 children of Annie and Herbert Gorham. In his early years in Montreal he was known by "Jack" or "Dempsey" by his friends. Bert joined the Royal Canadian Navy in World War II after forging his father's signature. He followed his naval service with service in the Merchant Marine, travelling extensively in both North and South America. His children, their spouses, grandchildren, or anyone who would listen, were often entertained by stories of his time at sea. After serving his country, Bert and his wife Evelyn moved to Saint John NB for the start up of the Irving Oil refinery. He later moved on to the Canaport offshore oil terminal for it's launch. He was employed by Irving for 25 years, retiring in 1984 as Marine Superintendent. Burt never met a stranger, was never without a joke to make you laugh, and always had a dog biscuit in his pocket to treat somebody's pet. True to his parents' English heritage, he never refused a cup of tea. True to his Canadian
heritage, he enjoyed the daily ritual of flying the Maple Leaf over his home in Hampton. Bert was a proud lifetime member of the Masonic Lodge. Bert was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Evelyn, in 2014; a son in infancy; and his first wife, Eileen. Survived by daughter Patricia (Peg) Richard of Saint John NB, her children Melissa, Mark, Dalton, and Jarrett; daughter Nancy (Dana) LeBlanc of Greenville SC and their children Nicole LeBlanc (John Rushton), Trenton, NS, Deanna LeBlanc, (Jarrett Simmons), Greenville SC, Drew LeBlanc (Brandy) Spartanburg SC; and son Bruce Gorham (Rochelle Baldwin) of Fredericton NB and their son Jake. Bert delighted in the accomplishments of his children and his treasured grandchildren. Bert also cherished his friends who became family, the Wright’s – Dave & Trish and their daughters Hannah and Emily. The family would like to thank the medical and support staff of St. Joseph's hospital in Saint John and Frederick Hall, Parkland Shannex in Fredericton for the excellent care provided to Bert. Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton NB are entrusted with arrangements. A private family service will be held later this summer followed by interment in Hampton Rural Cemetery. Donations in memory of Bert may be made to the IWK Children’s Hospital, Halifax NS, a charity very dear to Bert & Evelyn or to the memorial of the donor’s choice. Personal condolences to the family and donations may be made through ReidsFH.com. A life well lived. Bravo Zulu Bert.

forwe have much to celebrate. Most have heard that the name Canada originated from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata, meaning “village” or “settlement”. The French explorer Jacques Cartier used the word Canada to refer not only to the specific village, but the entire area and by 1545 European books and maps had begun referring to the region along the St Lawrence River as Canada. Upon Confederation in 1867, Canada was adopted as the name for the new country. So, with that little piece of history out of the way, how much do you really know about Canada?
Have a Safe

Geography
Weather
By total area (including its waters), Canada is the second-largest country in the world, with only Russia being larger. If you consider land area alone (that is, deduct the enclosed lakes), however, Canada ranks fourth, the difference being due to it having the world’s largest proportion of fresh-water lakes, over 2,000,000 of them! Canada has the longest coastline in the world, with a total length of 243,042 kilometres (151,019 miles). Canada’s border with the United States is the world’s longest land border, stretching 8,891 kilometres (5,525 miles). Canada spans 9,984,670 sq km and comprises 6 time zones. Canadian place names are often tongue twisters, for instance Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik, a lake in northeastern Manitoba. It’s name is Cree for “where the wild trout are caught by fishing with hooks.” Canada and Denmark both lay claim to
a small uninhabited island the strait that separates Ellesmere Island from northern Greenland. In 1984, the Danish Minister for Greenland planted the Danish flag on the Island and left a little message saying “Velkommen til den danske ø” (Welcome to the Danish Island).] It is also said he left a bottle of brandy and that Canadians have reciprocated with their own sign, the flag of Canada and bottles of Canadian Club.
Demographics The 2011 Canadian census counted a total population of 33,476,688, an increase of around 5.9 percent over 2006. By December 2012, Statistics Canada reported a population of over 35 million, signifying the fastest growth rate of any G8 nation. Between 1990 and 2008, the population increased by 5.6 million, equivalent to 20.4 percent overall growth. About four-fifths of the population lives within 150 kilometres (93 miles) of the US border.
Canada’s lowest recorded temperature was -81.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-63 C) on February 3, 1947 in Snag, Yukon. The heaviest rainfall ever recorded was in Buffalo Gap, Saskatchewan. On May 30, 1961 25 centimeters fell in less than an hour. That’s ten inches! The worst blizzard in Canadian railway history occurred between January 30 and February 8, 1947, when 10 days of blowing snow buried towns and trains from Calgary to Winnipeg. Some Saskatchewan roads and rail lines remained impassable until spring. Children stepped over power lines on their way to school and people dug tunnels to their outhouses. Canada’s longest, deadliest heat wave, July 5-17, 1936, saw temperatures top 44° C in Manitoba and Ontario. The intense heat killed 1180 people, twisted steel rail lines and bridge girders, buckled sidewalks, wilted crops and baked fruit on trees.

Flora and Fauna Canada is home to approximately 55,000 different species of insects. There are about 200 species of mammals and about 630 bird species in Canada. 80% of the world’s maple syrup is made in Canada and 91% of that is made in the province of Quebec alone. The Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba have more snakes in a concentrated area than anywhere else in the world. Tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes gather there every year. On the other hand, there are no snakes on the island of Newfoundland.
Other Cool Stuff Every Christmas, one million letters are addressed to Santa Claus at his own postal code: H0H 0H0, North Pole, Canada.
With 1,896 km (1,178 miles), Yonge Street is the longest street in the world. Americans have invaded Canada twice, in 1775 and 1812. They lost both times. The Rideau Canal in Ottawa, A UNESCO world heritage site, has the world’s longest skating rink in the winter. Canada is home to the world’s largest coin. Known as the Big Nickel, it’s located in Sudbury, Ontario and is a 9 metre replica of a 1951 Canadian Nickel. George Street in Newfoundland has more bars and pubs per square feet than on any street in North America. The term “trick or treat” was first used in Alberta. A bear cub named Winnipeg was exported from Canada to the London Zoo in 1915. A little boy named Christopher Robin Milne loved to visit Winnipeg, or Winnie for short. His love for the bear cub inspired the stories written by his father, A.A. Milne, about Winnie-the-Pooh. The Canadian motto, A Mari Usque ad Mare, means “From sea to sea.”

CANADA DAY ON THE BELLEISLE The countdown is on to Canada Day on the Belleisle. The planning committee has been busy planning activities, music, food and a great line up of entrants for the parade. The day always begins with Breakfast & Bake Sale, sponsored by the youth of Outreach Pentecostal Church, followed by the parade and opening ceremonies from the wharf. New this year will be a Show & Shine following the parade. New events have been planned for the afternoon, and many popular events will be back. Local groups will be fundraising, including the BES Pool committee, with a great variety of food items. The Silent Auction, 10:00am6:00pm, will definitely be worth checking out and local craftspeople will be offering their handiwork. Don’t forget tea at the hotel from 1:003:00pm. The day will draw to a close with music during the evening from the wharf and stories and local folklore at Bayview Cemetery. The Grand Finale is always the fireworks at dusk (launched from
the wharf) and promises to be a great display to end the day. If you would be interested in putting an entry in the parade or getting a spot for your craft table (not yard sale items), please leave a message at 4852514. See you there!!! 4121

The HST is increasing on July 1 We want to share some information with regard to the upcoming HST increase. On July 1, 2016 the HST rate will increase from 13% to 15% in New Brunswick and the taxes payable on funerals will rise with it. While we are not yet aware of the government’s transitional rules for the tax increase we are anticipating that, as with past increases, funeral services preplanned and prefunded between now and July 1, 2016 will not be subject to the higher rate of tax, regardless of when they are carried out. As we are strong advocates for preplanned funerals we have decided to extend a special offer. For those who arrange a preplanned, prefunded funeral with us, and finalize a qualified funding plan, between now and June 30, 2016, we will guarantee protection against the tax increase even if the government doesn’t provide that protection. So, if you’re thinking about preplanning funeral services and want to learn more about its many benefits including how you might avoid a tax increase, please give us a call.

Have you lately visited the Hampton Rural Cemetery, a beautiful place where our grandparents, parents, children and other loved ones are buried, even our brave soldiers rest there? Hampton Rural Cemetery holds many names we have heard in our history lessons such as the famous John Peters Humphrey, Dr V.A Snow, the Flewelling Family along with carpenters, farmers, teachers all who lived in and loved Hampton. The Hampton Rural Cemetery was incorporated in 1883 as documented in the “Royal Gazette”, originally being farmland, then a Privately Operated Cemetery. This Cemetery is operated by a Board of volunteers who aim to maintain on a small budget. With the continuous rising cost of maintenance, labour, and services we are finding it difficult to keep up with the expenses. In order to maintain the same level of beautification of our cemetery, we need the communities help of services and donations. We are a Registered Company and therefore we issue income tax receipts. Please consider supporting this important work, for the future of our community. Donations may be forwarded to the following address with written receipts to follow: Hampton Rural Cemetery Company, 61 Cemetery Road, Hampton NB E5N 3A9 For further information please email: crabb@nbnet.nb.ca or phone 8322207 Sharon Dunlop-McEwen. 4118

Q. If I file for bankruptcy who will know?
Your bankruptcy will not be publicized unless it is one where there are significant assets. A bankruptcy proceeding is a matter of public record, which means that it is not a “secret” and anyone who needs to know is entitled to be advised. The notices of bankruptcy that you occasionally see in the newspaper are either corporate or large personal bankruptcies, which are not common. In order for you to file for bankruptcy, the Trustee must send your bankruptcy papers to the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy, which is a division of Industry Canada and part of the federal government. Shortly after you file for bankruptcy, the Trustee will notify your creditors. The Credit Bureaus and Canada Revenue Agency are also notified. Other than that no one else is notified, normally. Your family and friends are not involved and should not become aware of your bankruptcy unless you Bonnie K. A. Bryan, CIRP choose to tell Vice- President, Licensed Insolvency Trustee them yourself.

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG PHOTOGRAPHY AS THERAPY I was at a photography judging seminar the other day when a friend says to me, “Karl I am so stressed, with the pressures and demands at work and the chores at home, I stole two hours, grabbed my camera and went shooting”. He went on to explain how powerful it was to leave all the pressures of his life behind and immerse himself in the pursuit of his art. Such is the effect of modern life. So, how does one cope? I used to ride my motorcycle. The concentration it took did not allow for the intrusion of my worries and before long I was part of my environment and in tune with the rhythmic song of my engine. Photography serves the same purpose. Like all forms of art, it takes dedication, concentration and discipline to the craft. Photography also allows for the expression of the soul, to relinquish your feelings. I have another friend who would often say that I see life through that tiny square hole on my camera, implying that I need to get away
from the camera and see life at large, of course we’d chuckle. The truth is that my camera serves as a microscope or telescope in search of beauty. It takes me to beautiful areas of the “ Picture Province” that I might have driven by. As much as I enjoy the privilege of shooting with my friends it is those times when I am being the “lone wolf ” that has the greatest affect me. I allow myself to wander and let my subconscious to bubble up, guiding me to that image with no restriction. Life begins to melt away and I am in the “now” as Eckart Tolle says in his Book “The Power of Now”. It is not, only the end result that is important, it is the experience or process in the creation of one’s craft. Recently, I was sitting in a duck blind, with a good friend sharing a thermos of hot coffee, watching the sunrise illuminate the mist that was floating on the pond. Few words were spoken but many things were shared. Getting the perfect image
did not happen as the lighting was not optimum so we made lemonade out of the lemons and shot other creative overexposed shots where the beautiful wood ducks with their hooded crowns emerged from the mist, creating stunning silhouettes of fantasy. The images were not documentary, as they went beyond that, they were moody, and evoked feelings of peace and tranquility of life on the pond. Another great day! Does all this sound a little much? Many photographers do this as they go out with cameras in search of those things they love and immerse themselves. Shoot. Print. Share. 0032

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS I recently had the pleasure of skimming through a great many letters that we have received from Starfish students in Piggs Peak. It was no surprise that there is a preponderance of students who are orphaned or whose parents are unemployed. Many are being raised by an older sibling, an aunty or gogo (grandmother). I read many sad stories of lack of food, clothing, and multi-kilometre walks to and from school. But, despite the severe hardships, every letter included messages of sincere thanks and blessings. The students committed to work hard and make us proud. There were even promises to donate to the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership as soon as they graduated and found a job so they could “continue to help those who will be needy during those days”. I thought I would share a few extracts as a representation of the sentiments found in the letters. “I promise to make you proud of me. I also wish to visit Canada so I can see the people with good hearts.” “I just want to say thank you for all you have done. It takes someone with
a special heart to love and care for someone she has never met, so this is an indication that you are kind and loving people.” “Your helping hand is responsible for my life and to be the one who has now replaced my father” (deceased). “I come from a poor home because my parents died when I was young. But because God loves me and you, He makes good things for us. He uses a person to pay my school fees... I told my grandfather to go to the person who knows the Canada people and please ask the Canada people to pay for my school fees.” “I come from a poor family but that does not mean everything about my family is bad. My mom is not working and my father died long ago. So we face difficulties because no one can support us with the things we need. My mom always tries to do the best for us. She also makes sure we go to school because that is important in our lives. When I have completed school I hope everything will be fine and I will be the one who will support my family. I also wish to help others like me, as you have helped me.”

A CAPPELLA SHOW SUPPORTS LOCAL CHURCH
IN THE GARDEN LITTLE EFFORT… BOUNTY OF BEAUTY He who plants a garden plants happiness.... Chinese proverb. Wandering through my garden, smelling fragrant Roses and Iris, anticipating the joys to come, I am sure the Chinese writer was right on target! So much beauty for so little effort is not so much a right as a huge blessing. To maintain this state of well being just a few delightful tasks need to be performed, namely deadheading. I love this time of year when the abundance of blooms requires a couple of hours just to remove spent blooms; two hours when I honestly give thanks for the bounty of beauty that has been my privilege to care for and enjoy! Deadheading is, I think, even more important than weeding; by removing spent blossoms the plant will go into overtime to produce more flowers, initial blooms on the Iris will tend to rot emerging blooms, especially under moist conditions and if they are gently snapped off, the’ bud in waiting’ will bloom magnificently. Many Roses
will reward one with continuous bloom if this simple task is done daily and those that are not of the re-blooming persuasion can be left to produce Rose hips, excellent for jelly making and fending away colds in winter; one tablespoon in hot water will do the trick! There are many Roses on the market that are absolutely hardy for our Zone, however, some will ramble vigorously all over the place, great for banks, but if your space is limited it is best to stick to the types that don’t put out runners; one of the hardiest and most beautiful is the Therese Bugnet, it has red stems, glorious deep pink blossoms and blooms from June until after frost, check with your garden centre before purchasing… digging up a rambler that has had its way with you is no fun!! I am aware that committed sun worshippers won’t want to read this, but we need a lot more rain and until the heavens provide it a more cautious attitude toward mowing is required;
I find it quite amusing, that most folk really hate to be told what to do, and yet when it comes to ‘lawns’, buy into the ‘grass gurus’ and spend untold hours trying for a single blade 3” carpet of vegetation, smooth as a billiard table and just about as exciting! My patch of green cover is a delightful mix of violets, wild strawberries, clover, forget me not and the like, from a distance it looks like lawn and I love it! Until the dry ground is well watered it is wise to raise the deck on the mower, the extra length of the grass will provide much needed shade for the roots and hopefully prevent the brown scorching that so often mars the perfection of the ‘ ideal lawn’. Enjoy the bounty. Blessings. 0045 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

Canada Day
EH!
From all of us at
Our research shows that we are being shut out of the job market at an alarming rate because of the failure of French immersion while at the same time the Government is mandating more and more jobs designated as bilingual. 85% of Anglophones are NOT bilingual and therefore not eligible to apply. It is time for us to work together for a fair solution for all New Brunswickers.
Join Us!
PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION / ALL WELCOME HAMPTON UNITED CHURCH HALL 24 Robb Court, Hampton, NB on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm Topics for discussion: Introduction to ARANB, Barriers to JOBS for Anglophones, the failure of French Immersion, and the cost of duality (segregated bussing).

HAMPTON HISTORY HAMPTON HISTORY - JUNE PART II 1. “Miss Helen K. Gibson, Hampton, has recently passed her examinations and is now a certified drug clerk. The pass list was released Tuesday night at a meeting of the New Brunswick Pharmaceutical Society in Saint John.” (KCR, June 22, 1939) [“Kathryn”, the name she was called, worked at Robb’s Drug Store in Hampton for many years. Do You remember the Cherry Cokes and Cherry Sundaes she made at the drug store’s ice cream counter?] 2. “The tennis courts on the Square at Hampton Station are now enclosed, and a more comfortable and well laid out set of courts cannot be found. Every fine afternoon and evening as long as daylight lasts, finds a bright and happy company of players there. The southern end of the Square is also make lively by
groups of boys and young men, who play baseball. And now the northern section is to be converted into an an old fashioned English bowling green, on which the old men and those younger may indulge in the oldest and best of sport.” (KCR, June 3, 1904) 3. May Gather at Hampton to See royal Train Pass - Due to Misunderstanding Train Fails to Slow Up - Only a Few See Their Majesties. More than two thousand people gathered at Hampton Station to welcome the King and Queen when the royal train passed through enroute to Moncton and Cape Tormentine on Tuesday evening. The Hampton Committee had well discharged their duties and all public buildings as well as private residences were gayly decorated for the occasion. The grass had been newly mowed on the

Canadian National Railway green and all sidewalks had been thoroughly swept. The train arrived only a moment late but through some misunderstanding it did not slow down as expected, consequently the throng was disappointed as only a few caught a glimpse of Their Majesties. As the train proceeded a 21-gun salute was fired. Most school children above Grade Four journeyed to Saint John by special train at 11:35 a.m. and were given grandstand seats at Barrack Green. Mrs. W. Dixon, Mrs. W. H. Hill, principal Howard Douglas and Mr. Donald Burns, teachers, accompanied them. The remaining school children were in the reserved section here. During the evening many enjoyed a bonfire and fireworks on the athletic grounds and a dance in the Agricultural Hall. (KCR, June 15, 1939) 4. [Summary: Mr. and Mrs. Johnstone, of Long Island, NY left NY April 4 and drove the same horse all the way (840 miles) to the Riverview Hotel. They expect to reach Yarmouth, NS in about three weeks, averaging about twenty miles a day. “Mr. Johnstone paid host Freeze a high compliment when he remarked that outside the cities he found no better table than that of the riverview Hotel. It may be added that every room in the hotel is engaged for the month of July in advance, and transients will have to be content with cots or shake-downs.”] (KCR, June 10, 1904) [Note: The hotel - built 1860s, burned 1931 - stood on the Kennebecasis River’s edge across from the present day Kredl’s Market. Samuel Freeze, and later his son, George M. Freeze, were proprietors over the years. It was from this hotel that Dr. John Ryan of Ryan’s Castle fame, escaped during the fire. Was also to escape, in 1932, the holocaust that destroyed much of the front street at Hampton Station.] CODE: KCR Kings County Record (published in Sussex). 0031

ASK THE CHEF RHUBARB Colin Sifton here again, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering, with another answer to your question. This week I had a visit from a lady selling rhubarb. It is that time of year again, when we see many products coming to the market and rhubarb is one of them. Made me think that I eat and use rhubarb but I don’t know a lot about it. Rhubarb can be traced back to China over 2,700 years ago. It was harvested not for food but for medication and was brought west by traders to Europe, making it to North America in 1820. Starting in Maine and Massachusetts, this plant moved with the settlers north, west and south. This was a bit of a surprise to me because all the rhubarb I knew grew in the backyard, wild. I often thought that it was just part of the landscape that we discovered as settlers, but now know that it came from far away over thousands of years. Now rhubarb, we consider a fruit,
for g n i Grow ars! 50 Ye
because the most common use is in jams, tarts, crumbles and pies. It is not a fruit but a plant with a highly poisoned leaf with the stock being edible. The stock is similar to celery and comes in different colours, the most common colour is green with red. Some believe the more red, the sweeter or less tart. I believe it is sunlight and the age of the plant determines colour, not sweetness. Since rhubarb is tart, it is always cooked with sugar. It also combines well with other fruits and berries to offset the tartness. In this area of the world, it is one of the first harvestable plants; coming out at the same time or just after fiddleheads and grows along river beds and damp areas, just like fiddleheads. I would not suggest combining the two, but many feasts have seen both on the menu. Not to many things are free anymore but this is one of those things that grows in our backyards. I bet there are many
of you who have seen this plant growing but never did anything with it. It is easy to harvest and easy to prepare. Just remove to large leaf, cut the stocks in one inch pieces and cook with sugar or sweetener of your choice. It is great on ice-cream and oatmeal. It can be served with pork and even fish. It is a gift that doesn’t get used as much as it should and it has travelled a very long way over a long period for us to enjoy. 0040

STUDENTS RECEIVE COPIES OF NEW BOOK Students at Hampton Elementary and Hammond River Valley Elementary Schools enjoyed a visit from author Anne Huestis Scott when she presented her new children’s book, “Let’s Make It Right”. The title of her presentation, “Dropped off by a Helicopter in a Foreign Country – Your Life Changes!” introduces students to the cultures of four countries with a virtual visit and some eye-opening moments for these Canadian kids who generally have their rights respected. Hampton Pharmasave very kindly donated 50 copies of “Let’s Make It Right” to five neighbouring schools. 4116

MUSINGS WE’RE ON IT... As I write this we are getting regular updates from Canada Post that there may be a postal strike in early July. Since our 40,000 plus magazines are delivered by Canada Post, this is a wee bit of a problem! However, if it does happen it won’t be our first postal disruption so we are prepared for the possibility of another. You will have seen our half page ad earlier in this magazine alerting you to some locations where you will be able to pick up a copy of your community magazine should there be a strike or lockout at Canada Post. We will be updating this list on our Facebook page as new locations are identified. And of course, you can always read all
of our community magazines online at our website, current and past issues. I am not going to come down on one side or the other when it comes to unions and labour disputes. I have been both union member/union executive and small business owner so can understand both sides of the equation. Yes, as a small business owner it does create some headaches, but I am confident we will weather it in spite of some inconvenience. I am constantly impressed at the loyalty and support we receive from our readers and advertisers and the 2011 postal distribution underlined that for me. What an amazing bunch of people we deal with on a daily basis. That is

certainly one of the big pluses of this business. As Michael Jordan once said, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” We are well on the way to our work-around if it is needed. 0001
