The Hampton Herald
Since we are nearing the timeline to a switch to new ownership, It is possible that this could be a final (or near final) Ravings. Although I am hopeful that we will have a chance to say a true farewell, I am going to use this opportunity to repeat what I believe is the most important issue facing this Province. Yeah!! You guessed it!! Forestry... 8 million acres of Crown Land, the most important resource this province has. But, this time I am not going to Rave about clearcuts, tree farms, herbicide usage and all of the other ways we are abusing this resource. This time it is strictly business. A basic business analysis, just like the Irvings would do. So we have allowed big forestry companies to manage our most important asset for the past 33 years. One has to assume, of course, that the government of the day and all subsequent governments have supported this arrangement for the benefit of the people of New Brunswick and not as a perpetual gift to people such as the Irvings. So the fair question to ask is... “How is this working for you??” Has this arrangement led to a greater number of jobs in the forestry sector?? In my limited research, I could not find exact numbers for the period 1982-2015 but I think that I can very safely say that jobs in the forestry sector have been decimated since we have had big companies manage our forests. Their strategy of high volume logging of low value fibre is largely responsible for the huge job losses.
Well, if our forest strategy is not producing jobs, I bet it is generating tons of money for us. So lets check the last published report for Department of Natural Resources (DNR) which is for the fiscal year 2013-2014. In total DNR had $101 million in expenses including $73M on forest management. Drum roll .. .. .. Well our revenues were $83M with royalties (from all our natural resources) totalling $73M. Oh Dear!! Let me get this straight. Almost everyone, considers our economy to be resource based. But, the income from ALL of our resources (forestry, mining, natural gas, etc) covers the cost of managing our forests. By the way, much of the $73M spent on forest management ends up in the hands (pockets) of companies such as the Irvings. I don’t believe anyone needs an MBA to figure out that if the Irvings were managing this province as a business instead of looting it, they would kill our forestry agreements in a heart beat. So, in conclusion, let me say to the current and all future governments this... “Short of a miracle, the Province of New Brunswick will not see prosperity, until we take back control of our forests and manage them for the benefit of the people of New Brunswick and not to simply further enrich the rich.” 0001 Mike Hickey Tech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

BLOOMIN’ ARTISTS 2015
CANADA DAY ON THE BELLEISLE
The blossoms are busting out, the trees are in full leaf, and summer has arrived! And with summer comes the much-enjoyed Hampton John Peters Humphrey Bloomin’ Artists event. On July 25 & 26 more than 30 artists of all disciplines will descend on the town and scatter themselves throughout the many beautiful gardens and scenic spots in our community to produce pieces that are then rushed to the Lighthouse River Centre to be sold by silent auction. It is a fun event over two days and is eagerly looked forward to by both artists and patrons. Bloomin’ Artists is a wonderful opportunity to purchase affordable paintings - and this year jewellery, pottery and fibre art – by some of New Brunswick’s most celebrated artists. There will be a kids’ art project going on at the same time on the Saturday and all ages are welcome to participate for free. The event is the main fundraiser for the Hampton John Peters Humphrey Foundation and allows the foundation to continue its work of promoting awareness of human rights and the legacy of John Peters Humphrey. Money raised in the past has allowed the foundation to do such things as host an annual human rights forum and award, to create the

A great variety of food will be available all day including hot dogs, hamburgers, strawberry shortcake, BBQ ribs and cornbread. The Annual Silent Auction will be available from 10:00am-6:00pm and located near the information booth. There is always a great variety of items up for the bidding… and proceeds will go to Canada Day Celebrations 2016! Starting at 7:00pm, finish of the day, Cemetery Stories from Bayview Cemetery will provide some interesting and humorous history and folklore on selected ‘residents’. Also starting at 7:00pm will be music by Neil Wheaton and others from the wharf, which will last until the “fireworks” grand-finale of the day.

LSD KINGSTON KINGSTON LSD NEWS At our monthly meeting in June we received a visit from the school principal, Mrs. Ellen Whitaker-Brown as well as Mrs. Jacqueline Fraser of the “Home and School” parent group. They provided information in relation to the school, of course but also pertaining to a project they have been working on for some time which would see the development of a Community Park around the school. The idea includes a playground with full accessibility for our youngest residents as well as potentially, walking trails and structures commonly found in a community park. This project is driven by volunteers and funding is derived from donations and fundraising. Mr. Bill Oliver who was in attendance was helpful in providing advice as it relates to “grants’ which may be available for such projects. Mrs. Whitaker-Brown provided
some very interesting facts about the Macdonald Consolidated School. They are not operating at full capacity, however the school is keeping a healthy student population. Thanks to dedicated staff, volunteers and some money from local good will, our school is keeping a variety of programs alive and well. The school, which houses Kindergarten to grade 8 is in very good shape. The Community meeting we talked about in our last newsletter will be held on October 6 at the Peninsula Legion, Branch 62 at 7:00pm. The purpose of this community meeting will be to provide information on various topics that should be of interest to the residents of the peninsula. You should gain a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the LSD committees. With that, residents need to have the ability to provide input on areas of concern and items the LSD committees may focus on over the next three years. We will be inviting
a number of leaders responsible for a variety of services delivered to our residents. We will also invite our neighbouring LSD committee leaders as they represent a fair number of residents from the Southwest portion of the Peninsula. Barry Walton and Steve Gourdeau attended the Regional Advisory Committee meeting last week. This is where all Regional LSDs meet with the Manager and review a number of ongoing topics. We can tell you that there is a very good feeling of cooperation developing within this group and it was agreed that we must identify commonalities and work on those for the benefit of all rural communities in our region. I am running out of space so more to come in July. Feel free to reach us for input at stevegourdeau@gmail.com. Steve Gourdeau for the Kingston LSD Advisory Committee. 0042
The Hampton John Peters Humphrey Foundation Invites You to the 7th Bloomin’ Artists Event! Dyson & Melissa Regular Owners/Operators
Peace of Mind We plan for every aspect of life: going to college or university, our career path, getting married and having children, buying a home. We plan our vacations, and our retirement. We buy insurance for when the unthinkable happens: fires, accidents and floods. But, because most of us do not like to think about death- we avoid making important funeral decisions in advance. This is one of the biggest oversights made in a life well-lived. Such inattention can cost your loved ones money, time, and emotional strain. During our long-standing service to the community we’ve repeatedly seen the confusion and heartache that can occur when no plans have been made. Conversely, we’ve also seen the peace-of-mind brought by thoughtful end-of-life preparation - not only for the one making the plans, but also for those who will be left behind. Of course, pre-planning is a thoughtful gesture. But, it’s also pratical. And, if you choose to invest in a pre-payment plan, you do not only protect against the higher cost tomorrow may bring, you also assure funds will be available when they’re needed most. We would be honored to assist you in creating the perfect pre-need solution for you.

POINT OF VIEW SOBER SECOND THOUGHT Let me get this straight. The taxpayers of this great country pay an average of $14,952,000/year - and that’s just their base salary - for 105 political cronies and former media personalities to sit as senators in the Canadian Parliament's upper chamber. Apparently, they’re there to give “sober second thought” to legislation representing different regions of Canada. Unlike most politicians, who are elected by Canadian taxpayers, senators are appointed by Canada’s Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. They are unelected, unaccountable, and belong to an undemocratic institution. And for that they receive a base salary of $142,400, not including the additional compensation they receive for travel to political functions, and a host of other extra responsibilities. The Mike Duffy’s and Pamela Wallin’s of the senate world - well, until they were suspended - worked an average of
three days/week for 29 weeks of the year. According to my calculations, that’s 87 days of work per year. Not including all the extra cash they received for expenses, sitting on senate committees, and just working their fingers to the bone, that works out to a base of almost $1,650/day. I’m clearly in the wrong business! Back in 1867, when our country was founded, the Senate may have been a good idea. Today, however, it's become nothing more than a money sucking embarrassment that needs to go away. Evidence continues to mount that our upper house is neither useful nor necessary for anyone other than those appointed to collect a ridiculous salary for bending the rules and finding new and inventive ways to claim travel and living expenses. When senators are sitting in their fancy chamber, they can vote on and amend democratically created legislation, veto the work of MP's and even create their own legislation. Sometimes, if they're really bored, they can even write their own study. Who knew you'd need 105 full-time
employees with six-figure salaries, goldplated pensions and expenses (can't forget about their expenses) to do all that? So, apparently there are qualifications to become a senator, and I've met all three. You must be at least 30 years old, own property worth $4,000 over and above debts and liabilities, and be a resident in the province for which he/she is appointed – check, check and check. Unlike various high-profile senators who've had trouble identifying just where they live, I am a resident of New Brunswick – and I actually live here. I'll be waiting for my call, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper. Here's my sober second thought on the senate issue. It's time to recognize that the Canadian Senate is seriously flawed and in need of a complete overhaul. If you can’t do what's necessary to make it relevant again, do the right thing and take steps to abolish it. Taxpayers (and our wallets) will thank you. 0032

HAMPTON LIONS’ NEWS In 1996, the Hampton Lions Club was looking for an idea to show their appreciation to the people of Hampton; many ideas were thrown around and finally it was decided to try a car show. Various locations were looked at before we decided upon the Hampton Mall, as it had the largest paved parking lot. One of our members was a member of the KV Cruisers Car Club and he contacted the Club to see if members could come. The Cruisers meet on a Wednesday night, so it was decided to have the show on a Wednesday. The first show had a little over 30 cars, which we had to park carefully so as not to take parking spaces away from the businesses which were open at that time of day. Every year the number of cars increased until we ran out of room and had to look for a new location. We decided on the Hampton Community Centre and were able to get the cooperation of the Town, little league baseball and the Hampton Pool. Before long, we were talking with the Hampton Baptist Church about
using their property to park the ever expanding number of cars. So now the Car Show runs from the hedge at the Baptist Church to the fence at the little league ballfield. Over the years we have had many sponsors, too many to list here, but our main sponsor is Hampton’s NAPA-UAP Auto Parts, who supply our prizes. Thank you! This year’s Car Show is on Wednesday, July 8 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Hampton Community Centre. To preregister email: dtays@hotmail.com or lbarton@nb.sympatico.ca. The next Blood Donor Clinic will be held in August. Don’t forget that Tuesday evening is Bingo Night in Hampton - Lions’ Fabulous Five Bingo at the Legion. Doors open at 5:30pm, games start at 6:30. For further info contact Lion George Tays at 832-5842. Wanting to make a difference in your community, for a few hours a week? Contact membership Lion John Good at 832-4562.

ASK THE CHEF EASY & QUICK BREADED CHICKEN Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week I had a customer ask me how easy it is to make crispy battered chicken. It is not very difficult, just really messy. There are several ways to batter chicken or anything else for that matter. A lot of us grew up with shake and bake commercials and I bet some of you tried it. This was the process of putting herbs and spices, along with bread crumbs in a bag. Placing the damp chicken into the bag and shaking it until it was completely coated. A nice and simple way to make battered chicken, but the batter was never very thick and the breading was either really brown on one side and pale on the other. Fine for when you are in a rush but not a good battered chicken. What we do in the industry is a three stage breading. First you get a bowl of flour. About a cup for four chicken breasts.
Take two eggs and beat them well in another bowl. In the third bowl you have your breading materials, about 2 cups. What I mean by that is whatever you want your breading to taste like. For example, I use bread crumbs, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme and garlic powder. I mix this together well. Now it is time to get started. First you place the chicken breast in the flour, making sure that it is completely covered. Knock off as much flour as possible. What this is doing it giving the egg wash something to stick to. Now with one hand only, place the chicken breast into the egg wash. Roll it around with the one hand until it is completely coated. The reason for one hand is because you are going to now place the chicken breast into the bread crumbs. Using the only dry hand, you roll the chicken breast around in the bread crumbs. Not only do you have a thick coating on your chicken, it is full of flavour as well. Place the breaded chicken on a sheet pan or cookie sheet and once all the chicken is breaded, place in a 325 degree oven and cook for 20 minutes
depending on the size of the chicken. What this will do is crisp the outside of the chicken, but trap all the flavour and moisture inside. You have encased the chicken in this mixture. You will also find that your chicken does not shrink, but stays plump and juicy. With this method you can also stuff your chicken before breading. With encasing the chicken in your breading, your filling will not run out or melt out. I good example of this is chicken cordon bleu with is chicken stuffed with swiss cheese and ham.

ROOTS OF EMPATHY CELEBRATION The 2015 End of Year Roots of Empathy Celebration, recently held at the River Lighthouse Centre in Hampton, saw 19 “tiny teachers” and their families attend along with classroom teachers, principals, and facilitators. Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based classroom program that has shown dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression among school children by raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. Launched in 2002-2003 in New Brunswick, Roots of Empathy has reached over 19,400 children. 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 these visits (about every three weeks) the Roots of Empathy family joins the Instructor in the classroom. In Anglophone School District South, 32 classes have Roots of Empathy. In the short term, Roots of Empathy focuses on raising levels of empathy, resulting in more respectful
2015 Roots of Empathy “tiny teachers” & their families and caring relationships and reduced levels of bullying and aggression. Students learn about neuroscience and experience baby development and growth over that first year. Special thank-you to funders who make this program possible: Dr. David Stephen Memorial Foundation, Domestic Violence Action Group,
Nicole & Tanner Long Charlotte Co. Community Foundation, Family & Child Education, Greater Saint John Community Foundation, Sisters of Charity, St. Joseph’s Community Health Centre, St. Paul’s Anglican Church Women, Rothesay and the United Way.

LISTEN IN MUSIC IN THE PARKS It’s finally here folks. Summer time is upon us and that could only mean it's time again for some live open air music in the community. What a great way to spend an early summer evening by coming out and seeing some top notch touring and local artist in an ideal setting. And it’s for all ages! I love exposing my kids to all kinds of good live music and this environment is very family friendly. Make a point to fit in some of this music during your summer fun activities. Support your community by just showing up and having a great time. Oh yeah it’s all FREE! “I had a chance to play there a couple years ago. It's a wonderful set-up in a beautiful park! I love playing outdoors, especially when the weather cooperates. Looking forward to playing again, bringing some new songs along with me!” Shaun Leblanc says with a smile. You can catch Shaun July 15 at the Quispamsis Arts and Culture Park. “Really looking forward to getting back east and playing with some local guys. I really enjoy the beauty of the east coast and Quispamsis.” Bill Wood says on the phone from Toronto. Bill Wood and the Woodies who performed in Rothesay a couple summers ago will be performing at the Arts and Culture Park in Quispamsis August 26. I caught up with Charles Jensen, who has programmed the music for 12 years now in the Rothesay Commons. “We always try to get a good variety of acts from, Blues, Country, and Bluegrass… the quality is all top notch. Our biggest
evening ever was having Matt Andersen perform (years ago), right before he made it big.” Charles enthusiastically tells me. “I feel that it’s a very organic way to endear yourself to new fans. Great for attracting all ages. I feel many people come with a sense of civic pride, that they are supporting their own community. It’s the personal satisfaction I get from playing the hometown.” Mike Biggar says in chatting about his previous booking experiences in both parks. Mike with the band will be performing a double header this summer on July 22 in Quispamsis and in Rothesay on August 6. There is tons of music for everyone’s taste and maybe some newer sounds to discover for your listening pleasure. Just a few others who will be performing include; Chris Cummings, Jimmy Lingley, Brent Mason, Jason Haywood Trio, The Honeyboys and Stephanie Manville to name but a few. Bring your favorite lawn chairs, blankets, a cool drink or a hot coffee and maybe even a bit of cash to buy a CD if you like what you hear. All shows are from 7:00-8:00pm. For more information: rothesay.ca and quispamsis.ca. Support local! 0041

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS After 10 years of operation, I thought it would be a good time to review some of the background on the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership. The African Kingdom of Swaziland holds the distinction of having the highest incidence of AIDS, and the lowest life expectancy, of any country in the world. Alleviating that situation is a challenge almost too daunting to consider. So our mission is to reduce the devastating impact of AIDS by providing help, hope, and opportunity for a better future… one person at a time. In the first year of operation, the Partnership paid school fees for 19 students. Since then, that level of support has increased every year to where we now pay school fees for 118 students - half female and half male (gender equality is one of our key values). We also support other projects related to our gogo (grandmother) partnership that is led by Maureen Robichaud. The Partnership now has an annual budget of over $60,000 with 100% of funds raised going to support our mission in Piggs Peak! Most of our funds come from our Starfish program that matches
Canada - Swaziland partnership individuals in Hampton with students in Piggs Peak. We currently have about 70 sponsorships that contribute about half of our annual funds. The remainder comes from fundraising events and individual donations. We subscribe to three basic principles: Understand the problem in Piggs Peak: our tagline is “Swazi solutions to Swazi problems with Canadian help”. Too often, the developed world tries to impose its own solution to an African problem. We always make sure it is a pull from Piggs Peak, not a push from us, that generates our assistance.
HALL
SUMMER HAPPENINGS
Convey the problem to the people of Hampton: we believe that the problem of AIDS in Piggs Peak is so compelling that, if it is effectively conveyed, the desire to help will be irresistible. It isn’t the statistics but, rather, the stories - of the 10 year old girl who is the head of her household; and the 80 year old gogo who is caring for a dozen grandchildren - that move us to take action. Provide the opportunity to help: a donation to the Partnership, either through our website or by other means, will go directly to the projects that have been proven to alleviate the impact of AIDS in Swaziland. We are thankful for the ongoing support from our great community and proud that our Partnership has become embedded in the cultural and social fabric of Hampton. It’s also fair to say that Hampton has deep roots in Piggs Peak, where the term “Hampton student” is a commonly heard reference to the students we financially support.

IN THE GARDEN COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS! It appears to me that the weather is the usual opener for most casual conversations and that the rains we have received lately have been cast in a very negative light, the craving for sunshine, lots of it, is top of the ‘desires’ list. I for one would sooner have too much of the life giving water than not enough; many places in our world are suffering greatly because of drought so the best thing we can do is celebrate the abundance and handle the sometimes negative impact that rain has on our gardens! Despite the dull weather the gardens are awash with colour as the lilacs begin to fade and the Iris and Roses come into their own. Iris, with their exotic looking blooms are most severely handicapped by the steady rains as their blossoms seem to soak up the moisture and the heavy stems slowly droop to the ground; by persistently deadheading these beauties the flowering
season can be stretched into several weeks, any snapped stems should be cut down to the ground and the colour of the blossom can be noted on their flat leaves with a permanent marker. This is really important since the plant has the happy habit of spreading and needs frequent division, knowing the colours helps in planning new locations and in sharing the bounty with other gardeners. Iris can be divided as soon as they have finished blooming and any diseased rhizomes should be disposed of after slicing through them to destroy any of the borers that cause great damage; when replanting it’s important to leave a good portion of the rhizome exposed to the sun and to have the root system spread sideways from it. Cutting the leaves back to about 8 inches will help settle the new plants and a sprinkle of bone meal will soon have the new patch raring to go. As with most flowering shrubs, dead heading Lilac is a must, this puts all the plant’s energy into strengthening the root system rather than producing seed, more than enough young shoots are produced
and indeed, for best results, many of those need to be cut down to the ground, along with the older very tall thick woody limbs. All weeds should be removed allowing a good air flow, the best method of preventing moulds and fungi from causing problems. Similar action should be taken with Honeysuckle and most shrubs can be pruned back as soon as the flowering is over; the major exceptions to this action are Azaleas, Rhododendron and Magnolias which, bless their hearts, seem to withstand the ravages of the abundant rains while producing incredibly stunning displays of loveliness. Bluebells are forming seed right now and I leave them alone and enjoy the new plants that turn up every spring, courtesy of the wind and wild life… yes indeed, let’s count our blessings. 0038 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb R-410A INVERTER

I won’t identify him, but here is the communication we received: “I realize there are an abundance of women at Ossekeag publishing however is it necessary to keep printing these feminist articles such as Domestic violence outreach? I am sure with the way we are bombarded with this issue most by now have got the point. I usually throw this rag in the trash where it belongs as many other men I speak to do as well. There are two sexes that read you would be well advised to remember that!!!!.” Certainly I am not offended that he says he throws our magazine in the trash. I recognize that not everyone is or will be a fan. Nor does his opinion that we have no content of interest to the men in the
community upset me (though I would point out that on the same page as the objected to domestic violence article was a much longer one on a pickerel tournament that some might consider of greater interest to the men than the women). And by no means does it disturb me to be labelled a feminist. My go-to online dictionary defines feminism as “the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.” Nothing offensive there, just common-sense to treat every person equally. What I am deeply offended by is the tone of the communication, and the implication that domestic violence is strictly a “feminist” issue. Implied also is the denigration of the issue, as if it is of little or no importance. Domestic violence should be a serious concern for all of us, male or female. People live in fear. People die. It is not gender specific, as men are also abused by their partners, as can be the children (male and female) in the family unit. Even if the children are
not themselves abused, their awareness of it in their home has long-term effects on their own mental and emotional wellbeing. If caring what happens to the vulnerable in our communities makes me a feminist it is a label I will wear proudly. And we will continue to publish the Domestic Violence Outreach Service information. Perhaps just one person will read it and make that phone call that could save a life.
