At this point, my co-op placement is over, but you’ll still see my work for a few more weeks. :) These next two editions will be spent looking at the Progressive Conservative party. Currently the opposition party, they’re looking to regain power this September. This week will be focused on Party Leader Blaine Higgs (Quispamsis). Mr. Higgs believes that the government can be run better, because he thinks that money is being spent poorly. He says that throwing more money at things doesn’t necessarily make them better, but instead, the Conservative party would focus on how to spend money more efficiently. Mr. Higgs recounted a time when he had designed schematics for a build. When the parts arrived, a co-worker called him down to come look at them. He then realized that while in theory the design worked, in practice, it didn’t. He related this to government, claiming that what looks good on paper in Fredericton doesn’t always work in practice. He believes that if someone is going to be affected by a decision, the government should have their input for guidance and pointed to the education system as an example, saying the government should ask for more input for the teachers, as he feels they don’t have enough say.

The Hampton Herald
Mr. Higgs says he understands the sentiment that politicians will frequently go back on their word. He says that some politicians will reinvent their promises “from one bus stop to the next”, in order to appeal to the people in that area. He thinks we should blur the party lines some and that politicians should work together more than they do right now. As a display of this, Mr. Higgs mentioned that some of his staff are closely related to both the Liberals and the NDP. He feels as though the first thing a new party will do is throw out what the last one did. He also notes that while many jobs have a required skill set, being a politician doesn’t, even though the stakes are high in government. If he were a crayon, Mr. Higgs would want to be blended and made of of many colours, just like how he wants to get many opinions in order to get the best result from any potential legislation. Mr. Higgs had some advice: you don’t need to own every conversation. He feels it’s important to listen more and speak less. He also thinks it’s important to not pretend to know everything, as no one does. To the youth, he says: stick with it. He says he knows young people have some good ideas and he wants to hear them. The province has opportunities, he claims, and he wants to make sure it stays that way. He points out that he doesn’t need another job, he already had one. At this point, he’s driven by passion and wants to make a change. In his own words, “it’s not about the next election, it’s about the next generation.” 0011

THIS PLACE FAMILIES CAMPING Laura and Chris Wilson, newly married, moved to Kingston, NB in 2011. “It was a compromise,” Laura laughs, explaining that her husband prefers the wilderness. The couple enjoys the acreage and their quiet life on the peninsula. The Wilsons always camped together, first taking their two dogs in a tent. But when their son Harrison was two, the couple started a tradition that is now an annual event for their boys. Laura and Chris spend much of their summer camping with sons, Harrison, 4, Duncan, 2, and their two dogs, Colbie and Katie. The Wilson family spends many summer weekends at their favourite New Brunswick parks to unplug from the hustle and bustle of life. Their top three places to camp give them a place to hike and discover nature, all while building memories for their two small boys. Kouchibouguac National Park: “You can get a signal in the bathroom, but that’s it,” Laura laughs. With no internet, no cell service, and a long
drive to any store, Laura says to come prepared (check out her tips to family camping online). She says the park offers a lot for families, like easy hiking trails that are wheelchair accessible, perfect for strollers and toddlers. Mactaquac Provincial Park: This campground is for kids, offering planned activities for all age groups. Laura says that there are kid boxes all along the trails with items that encourage an exploration of nature. Fundy National Park: If you are looking for a get away that is remote like those above, without the long drive, then Fundy is for you. Relatively local, the park offers a variety of accessible hiking, beautiful views, and family fun. Camping takes preparation, patience, and a positive outlook. Laura claims that camping with family means to “know your kid’s limits”. Laura’s tips are designed to make a camper’s life easier so that the time spent is with family, not stressing about what to eat, where to go, and what
you forgot. “The boys love it,” she says. They know that camping season is here, the trailer is ready, and the first trip over the May long weekend sets the stage for their summer fun. Laura’s hope for you is to enjoy the time away from the world and focus on your family. Go online for helpful links and an explanation of Laura’s Top Ten Tips to Camping; Know your equipment and your camping site, start with a packing list, bring extra everything, meal plan, make it fun, have realistic expectations, pack campingonly activities, create a car travel box, try new things and make camping about the family. 0039 Tara Finnigan Freelance Writer

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS In recent weeks our committee members have had some questions about the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership Starfish Program. That’s great; we love talking about it! In short, it is our sponsorship program that allows an individual, group, classroom or family to pay school fees for a student at one of our three high schools – Fundukuwela, Peak Central, or Enkhaba. It’s a wonderful way for someone in Hampton to create a personal relationship with a student in Piggs Peak, Swaziland. And the students love knowing that someone living on the other side of the world cares about them and allows them to go to school. It is, literally, the greatest gift these young people could receive. Since we started the program, the cost of sponsoring a student has been held at $300 per year or $25 per month. However, the fact of the matter is that the actual cost of school fees is quite a bit more than that. Different schools have different fees and the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the Swazi currency also creates some variances but, on average, the cost for 2018 is now between $450 and $500 per student.
Temkhuleko This year, the Partnership is paying for 170 students, the most ever! But only about half of those have sponsors through our Starfish Program. We make up the difference through other donations and fundraising. Unfortunately, our sponsorships have not grown at the same rate as with our student numbers. In accordance with our mission statement, “…providing help, hope, and opportunity for a better future… one person at a time”, I am asking for one more sponsorship. Temkhuleko Felicia
Dlamini is a 17-year old girl in Form one (grade 8) at Peak Central High School. Temkhuleko’s father is alive but left home when she was born. Her mother is living in the home and struggles to support the family, having only casual employment. Temkhuleko has two younger siblings. She must take a bus to school at a cost of 22 rand (about $2.50) per day. Temkhuleko’s favourite subject is Math and she would like to be a doctor one day. Temkhuleko has four more years of high school and needs your help. Will you be her Starfish sponsor? We are now asking for $360 per year or $30 per month. But, if you can only pay $300, that’s okay. If you want to pay more, well, that’s okay too. How about making Temkhuleko a very happy teenager. To sponsor her, contact Heather Richard, our Starfish Coordinator, at starfishppp@gmail. com or me at markbettle1@gmail.com. You can also donate directly by going to our website hamptonpiggspeak.ca and clicking the Donate Now button. It will give you an option to donate to our Starfish program. 0010

LIFE BALANCE UNDERSTANDING A BURNOUT A burnout is not yet a term that can be found in any mental health professional’s handbook of diagnosable conditions. A burnout is defined instead as a lifestyle-related condition that stems from severe chronic stress. People do not burnout overnight. Instead, the nature of a burnout is much more subtle and progressive. Unfortunately, this slow-moving characteristic makes the condition that much more difficult to recognize. Our bodies are fully equipped to sustain short bursts of stress related to high-pressure situations, which causes an influx of adrenaline and cortisol in the body. What our bodies are not used to, however, are consistently high levels of stress. Severe chronic stress can have a lasting impact on the brain’s physical structure, and can ultimately change the makeup of certain areas of the brain that are responsible for modulating our stress responses. Consequently, this makes our brains more vulnerable
to neurotoxins. Other than impacting our brain’s structure, consistently high levels of stress can also impact normal body functions, such as our immune system, sleep hygiene and digestion. A common burnout symptom may include physical exhaustion. This may manifest itself in insomnia, chronic fatigue and an increase in feelings of sickness. Victims of a burnout also often complain of a lack of productivity, which stems from an inability to concentrate and an increase in forgetfulness. Emotional exhaustion is a further burnout symptom and is characterized by feelings of cynicism and detachment and can also manifest itself in feelings of depression and anxiety. Lifestyle changes are often considered crucial as a first step to recovery from a burnout. Finding some downtime in your day, where you can unplug from a stressful situation and engage in a hobby or activity that you generally enjoy doing, is one recommendation.
Happy Father’s Day from the staff at
A further recommendation includes connecting with others, in which you have cultivated a positive and meaningful connection with. This should involve going beyond immediate family, and extend to friends or distant relatives. If you suspect that you may be suffering from a burnout, or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms outlined above, it is important to seek help from a professional as soon as possible.

FAMILY MATTERS SURVIVING SUMMER WITH SIBLINGS As summer approaches many of you may be wondering how to reduce the likelihood of your children arguing. Not an easy task as there will probably be increased time together. As a parent, with limited vacation time, it can be both unpleasant and frustrating to hear and see your children fight. The reasons for the spatting are numerous – competing for your attention, material possessions, obtaining better grades, or excelling in sports. Below are some strategies to help keep the peace between your kids over the summer months. Set the Groundwork. Discuss with your children what behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable. Behaviors like namecalling, yelling, swearing, hitting, etc. are all unacceptable. Get their input to come up with consequences when they do engage in these behaviors. The key is to do this before the fighting starts. Don’t Get Involved. When possible and reasonable, try not to get involved. Let your kiddos work out their differences
without you. You want your children to learn how to problem solve and find solutions. If things get out of control, then step in. If you need to get involved, make sure that everyone is calm when trying to discuss the issue. Avoid Investigating. Avoid taking the time to figure out who started the argument because it does not matter. It takes more than one person to be in an altercation and everyone involved is responsible for fueling it. Focus on finding a solution. Individual Interests. Set time aside to enjoy all of your children’s different interests. Offer one-on-one time for you and your children to do their favorite things. Schedule enough time for each kiddo and the family. Praise. Make sure to acknowledge and praise time cooperatively spent together. Point out positive and respectful behaviors. Time Apart. There is nothing wrong with allowing time for your children to do their own things and be apart.
Arranging different camps, play dates as well as having your children partake in different activities/classes that are of interest to them is perfectly healthy. Schedule. If your children are constantly fighting over the same situations (i.e., what to watch on television, what game to play, or who goes first) create a schedule to help monitor who goes when and for how long. To help reduce and/or limit sibling arguing and make the summer more pleasurable, keep the above strategies in mind and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

GRADUATION
THE TRUTH ABOUT SENIOR YEAR In exactly eight weeks from the day I’m writing this is my graduation day. Kennebecasis Valley High School, class of 2018. My mother has already started missing me, even though I’m still at home, and my sister has started contemplating on turning my room into a walk-in closet. Of course, with the day so close, nearly everyone outside of my friend group
are asking the same questions: What are you studying, and what are you plans? In all honesty, I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Rather than drone on about Universities and programs, and figuring out the next steps; because frankly, I’ve tired out those topics by now; instead, it’s time to get to know the real grade twelve, and what
it’s like to be a high school senior. Sometimes, you’ve just got to call it like it is, and high school starts out like every other school that a student has gone to, until grade eleven. It’s genuinely remarkable how much things change over the course of two years. In all honesty, and parents will probably strongly disagree with me

on this point, there’s really only one or two classes in grade 10 that you actually need to work hard in; these are the grade 11 electives; everything else can be glossed over, so long as one passes the class. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on who you ask, in grade 11, everything counts. Post-secondary institutions are looking for high averages for scholarships. This is the year when a student learns, to some degree, what it’s like to have deadlines. It’s the slightest taste of what the real world will be like: scary, and stressful. First semester of senior year is basically the same as grade eleven, it’s the last kick at the can to get good scholarships, and apply to university programs. In all honesty, the stress that most people deal with during this time, is mostly self-induced. Of course there are assignments that are all due the same days, we have jobs, and extra curricular activities, but the majority of our stress can be attributed to procrastination and poor time management. The best piece of advice that I can give to anyone in High School is this: get an agenda, and stick to it. It will save you from the last-minute scramble.
Congratulations to the class of 2018 and especially our Hampton Home Hardware staff graduating this year. Well done!

The second semester is a breeze; most of the time the students have all of the necessarily courses needed for graduation, and for the university of their choice, all that’s left to do
is pass each class, but the pressure is off. The classes that fill this semester are the ones that are for fun, take not out of necessity, but out of want. Despite this, students will be students, and I myself am guilty of the same offence, we still love to complain about schoolwork. Although it might not feel like it, second semester is smooth sailing to the finish line.
especially for those that are susceptible to the teacher-dreaded senioritis. As is often the way when one does the same routine, five days a week for thirteen years, things can quickly go stale and dry. The motivation just isn’t what it used to be, the excitement and buzz that used to be the reality when the routine first started. Second semester senior year, none of the students want to be in school anymore. Summer is
This is a dangerous combination,
so close, and graduation is a hop, skip and a jump away. Classes are drawing to close, and due to exemptions and final projects, most people don’t have a full set of exams. Marks are in, scholarships have been awarded, and it is not a rarity to hear students bluntly say that they no longer want to be in the building. It is here that the truth about being a senior is revealed. The truth is this;

we, the students, complain about absolutely everything, but if we students are honest with ourselves, we’ll miss grade school. It’s the concept of not knowing what one has until it’s gone. Despite what students wish to believe, we thrive on the structured routine of school. There is an illusion of independence, especially in senior year, with course selections and extra curricular activities; however, the past thirteen

Graduation marks the to graduate, exciting, but scary opportunity to showcase what’s been nonetheless.

South End Day Care
Learning numbers and letters
Boys at Play The South End Day Care Centre was established in 1968, in a small apartment on Saint James Street. The objective was to provide adequate Child Care outside the home, for children of parents who wished to obtain employment or upgrade the education. In 1971 a group of interested citizens got together and formed a Board of Directors.

The Hampton Herald
Eventually a much larger accommodation had to be sought. In 1973 it was decided to rent the former Nurses’ resident of the St. Joseph’s Hospital at 100 Coburg Street, which was vacant at this time. In 1975 the Centre was incorporated as a non-profit and licensed through the department of social services. In 1977 the Centre
became a United Way Agency enabling the centre to pay for renovation necessary to meet fire and safety standards. Due to unfortunate circumstances in 1981 the Day care was closed until a new location could be found. In 1983 the Board of Directors found a new site at 310 Prince William street, which is our present location. The South End Day Care Centre believes in the in the dignity and the uniqueness of each child. The aim of the centre is for each child to be treated equally regardless of abilities. We offer a rich learning environment so children can thrive on developing their social, intellectual, emotional, and physical growth. We encourage independence, self-confidence and consideration for others. We also believe that wellbalanced meals and snacks play an important role in the growth and development of our children. The South End Day Care Centre Inc. wants to ensure that we provide opportunities for the development of the whole child through the New Brunswick Curriculum Framework for Early Learning and Child Care. Facilitators recognize the need for children to: Be Healthy; Develop communication skills by providing opportunities for children to listen, talk and play; Express their feelings such as joy, frustration, anxiety, sadness and wonder; Socialize with other children and adults; Manipulate materials as they explore, experiment, problem solve, ask questions and hypothesize about their world; Develop physical and self-help skills as they carry out play actions such as running, climbing, completing a puzzle or as they complete daily routines; Be independent and self-reliant as they accomplish tasks in their own way, at their own pace. The South End Day Care Centre Inc. believes through play we are preparing children with the readiness skills required to enter the school system and that we help prepare them for this journey. 0051
THE GREAT RACE
The Great Race, the world’s premiere vintage car rally, will bring 120 of the world’s finest antique automobiles through Sussex and Sussex Corner, on Friday, June 29, in the late afternoon, on their way to the finish line in Halifax NS on Canada Day. The Great Race, which began 35 years ago, is not a speed race, but a time/speed/distance rally. The vehicles, each with a driver and navigator, are given precise instructions each day that detail every move down to the second. They are scored at secret checkpoints along the way. Cars start – and hopefully finish – one minute apart if all goes according to plan. The biggest part of the challenge other than staying on time and following the instructions is getting an old car to the finish line each day, organizers say. The winner will receive $50,000 from a total purse of $150,000. Teams and cars from
Japan, England, Germany, Canada and every corner of the United States will converge in Buffalo New York with vintage automobiles dating back as far as 1916, getting ready for their nineday, 2,300-mile adventure. The race will finish Sunday, July 1 in Halifax, Nova Scotia as part of the city’s Canada Day festivities. On the way, the racers will travel through Sussex sometime in the afternoon on Friday, June 29. They will stop for lunch in Rothesay, en route to Moncton, where they will stay the night. This is actually the first time that the Great Race has taken place in the Atlantic Time Zone. The NB Antique Auto Club will be organizing a free event on Friday, June 29 to coincide with the arrival of the participants of the Great Race. It will be held, weather permitting, at Sussex

Elementary School from 3:00pm6:00pm. Thanks to the generosity of Greg Cripps at All Glass and Accessories, a glass shop located across from the school, entertainment will be provided by the Saint John band The Instigators. Folks are welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets to sit on the grassy area in front of the school, as the vehicles proceed down Main St. Those who wish to bring their own vintage vehicles are welcome to do so, but the idea is that this is not a car show. An attempt will be made to park collector cars on the Main Street in the vicinity of the school, rather than in the school parking lots, so that the Racers can view them as they pass by. The NB Antique Auto Club is a nonprofit organization formed in 1996. The Club members not only collect antique cars, but license plates, service station memorabilia, radiator emblems or hubcaps as well. The Club hosts a number of events, one of which is the Sussex Flea Market held in August each year. The Southeast Region organizes the Sussex Downtown Cruise Night, held every second Thursday, from May 17 – September 17. 2018 is their 6th year. Cruise Night raised over $1700 for local charity in 2017. So come out and enjoy with us this wonderful experience. Car lovers will love seeing these cool cars driving down Main Street. 4928
