The Hampton Herald
“VETERANS” There has been a lot of mention in the news recently about how poorly we are treating our veterans, especially those who served and suffered in Afghanistan. Once upon a time, it was common for political leaders to also lead their troops into battle. You can be darn sure, rightly or wrongly, that King Richard III strongly believed in the Crusades and other wars that he conducted. King Richard was killed in the War of the Roses in 1485, but here is an account of that battle from Wikipedia. “Accounts note that King Richard fought bravely and ably during this manoeuvre, unhorsing Sir John Cheyne, a well-known jousting champion, killing Henry's standard bearer Sir William Brandon and coming within a sword's length of Henry Tudor before being surrounded by Sir William Stanley's men and killed. The Burgundian chronicler Jean Molinet says that a Welshman struck the deathblow with a halberd while Richard's horse was stuck in the marshy ground. [45] It was said that the blows were so violent that the king's helmet was driven into his skull. [46] The contemporary Welsh poet Guto'r Glyn implies the leading Welsh Lancastrian Rhys ap Thomas, or one of his men, killed the king, writing that he "killed the boar, shaved his head". [45][47] [48] The identification in 2013 of King Richard's body shows that the skeleton had 10 wounds, eight of them to the head, clearly inflicted in battle and suggesting he had lost his helmet. The skull showed that a blade had hacked away part of the rear of the skull. King Richard III was the
last English king to be killed in battle.” Now that is the kind of leadership that we need to bring back for our soldiers. Currently, it is far too easy for the politicians who make the decision to go to war, to also escape the consequences of their decision. You don’t have to be terribly brave to sit in parliament and talk tough and let others suffer the consequences. So we need a new law, entitled “Every politician who supports Canadian soldiers going into a conflict zone must within six months, spend 48 hours at the front lines with our soldiers.” And this is not sneaking quietly into the area for a quick visit but actually out on patrol, doing what our soldiers are doing!! Oh and by the way, politicians injured, killed or otherwise damaged while serving their short time on duty will receive the exact same benefits granted to our soldiers!! Problem solved?? I think perhaps so. 0001

gET FRESH WITH FOOD I own a shuttle company in Halifax that I started while I was in university. I know I would like to sell it, but until that is possible, the company just would not continue to operate without Kyle Stewart, my very loyal manager. Kyle comes from a great family, works hard, has a wonderful fiancĂŠe and a great job. You would think that he has it all together. However, at the age of 9, it was discovered that Kyle had undiagnosed kidney disease. Born with underdeveloped kidneys, he developed Renal Rickets, which causes his bones to soften, in this case his left hip, leaving him with a slight limp. After puberty, his metabolism slowed and he gained weight. He watched his ability to play hockey and football disappear. Eventually, walking without pain became impossible. At five feet, six inches, Kyle currently weighs 308 pounds with a BMI of just under 50, double the normal of 25 and lives with pain every day, the only relief when he sits. He is 25 years old, 10 days younger than me. Something has to
change. Since Christmas, I have been trying to go to Halifax to drive some of my hard-nosed health advice into him. On March 19, I finally invaded his apartment with a boat load of vegetables and a new Omega juicer. I taught him how to use it and we made our first juice. It was a little rich on the ginger and Kyle was skeptical. We had a healthy meal and sat down to watch Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, a film that follows Joe Cross on his 60 day journey, consuming juice, water and nothing else. In his words, at 310 pounds Joe "was 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease." He lost 82 pounds in 60 days, was allowed to stopped taking his medication and felt better and had more energy than ever. However, for Kyle, it wasn't Joe that blew him away, it was Phil Staples, the truck driver that Joe met at a truck stop who had the same disease as Joe. At over 429 pounds, he was in worse shape than Joe, at the beginning of his journey. In 61 days, Phil lost 95 pounds and after
by dave Wolpin
another eight months of healthy eating, he was down 202 pounds. Oh, and he doesn't take medication anymore either! Kyle is taking the challenge, first for 10 days. Feel free to send me messages of support. I'll forward them. When he gets through 10 days, we'll be starting a Facebook page so we can watch him transform. Like a good Canadian, his dream is to play hockey again. Everyone should watch this film. It is free, just google it. If you want to come talk to me and my staff at Kredl's, we are so excited to show people that their goals are attainable and it is never too late. 0039

NAUWIGEWAUK DARLING SENIORS’ NEWS The March 10 meeting of the Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors was held in the Community Hall with 22 members in attendance. President, Wes Hill welcomed everyone on a very sunny day and everyone sang O Canada and repeated the Lord’s Prayer. Secretary Nancy Ketchum read the Minutes of the last meeting and Treasurer, Donna Cameron gave a complete Financial Report to the members. Various Committee convenors gave reports of memorial donations, visitation to sick members and future plans were made regarding birthday celebrations for members. Secretary Nancy Ketchum advised members of the planned New Brunswick Senior Citizen Federation meeting, which will be held in Saint John on May 6 & 7. A motion by Jane Henderson, seconded by Isabel Wanamaker that the Club sponsor Nancy at this meeting as the Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors’ Club representative. Motion Carried. As a special event for the Club, it was previously decided that everyone should wear an item of “green” in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. This year’s winner was
definitely Charlie Wanamaker, who was a hit as soon as he walked in the hall. Charlie had adopted the “western” look with a brilliant cowboy hat that sparkled with green sequins. Members also enjoyed Bingo with great prizes, but it was noted the “Bingo Caller” was new to the job. Lunch time became extra special with four members celebrating birthdays, namely: Helen Blakney, Lillian Anderson, Clara Wanamaker and Ron Henderson. Everyone left for home with happy hearts and plans for next month’s meeting. Respectfully submitted, J. Hill. 0036

cupboard room for towels, toiletries, first aid supplies, and medicine. Caring For Your Property Spring is an excellent time to assess your property. Inspect your trees for any damaged or broken limbs, or signs of disease. A tree care expert can help you decide what is best to keep the tree strong and healthy. It may need some limbs taken off, a little shaping, or more nutrients in the soil to really help it flourish this summer. Spring is also a great time to plan out a new garden, and get some ideas for what you’d like to plant. Pay attention to the labels on
flowers to find out what they’ll need to properly grow and flourish, making your property look great. Include a mix of late and early blooming flowers so that your garden has blossoms all summer long. A well landscaped property looks better and can help increase the value and the enjoyment of your property. Budgeting For Your Home Improvement Project Whether you’re looking to improve energy efficiency, increase your property value, or increase your enjoyment and comfort in your home there are experts out there to give you the help you need, or do it for
you. Before you start taking down walls, or heaving out old appliances, sit down and work out your budget. A good home improvement budget should cover everything: supplies, tools (rentals & purchases), labour, waste removal, new fixtures & appliances (if you need them). It is should also have a buffer for any unexpected expenses that should crop up during your renovation. These things never go as smoothly as we hope. During your renovation, track your purchases, consult your budget to keep yourself on track and within your means.

ASk THE CHEF Colin Sifton from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering here with another answer to your question. I received a great question this week about using low fat milk instead of whole milk when cooking or baking. Can you substitute one for the other? First, I would like to mention that cooking and baking are very different. They’re similar in what we are doing, but very different in methods. Baking is very precise. Your yeast must be at the right temperature and your amounts need to be very exact to come out with the perfect product. Cooking you do not need to be precise at all; throw in what you want and as much as you want, season to taste and bam, you have a meal. Try that with baking and you will end up with a mess. Now back to the question. The answer is similar to the margarine Vs. butter question. It can be substituted, but you will end up with a different product. Our
by Colin sifton
bodies crave fat; if we remove one kind of fat we need to add another to make it taste good. You can bake with 1% but you would need to increase the butter to get what you desire. You will also find that your product is not as moist as it is with whole milk and is a little more solid. That 2% of fat will make that much of a difference. When cooking with milk it is much different. Milk curdles at high temperature and you will see the milk solids separate from the liquid. This will also cause a slightly sour taste to your dish. The higher the fat content, the less separation and souring. Think of the last time you made scallop potatoes or fish chowder. Did you have little curds in the liquid? This is the separation or as we call it in the cooking industry, it has broken. You can fix this by adding flour to bind it back together, but the product will not be the same. It’s missing something - The fat that we desire.
I know we all work hard at watching what we eat. Often we cut down the fat thinking we are creating a healthier product, but at what cost? Sometimes you should treat yourself and make what you want how it should be made, with the fat content the recipe called for. I guess the trick these days is not to do it all the time and when we do, do it in moderation. 0040

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS “My name is Zandile and I live in the town of Pigg’s Peak in Swaziland. I am a girl fifteen years old… my parents died when I was young and I had two older brothers. We all had to go to live with my aunt and my uncle in Ngwenya village. One day while I was still young and living with my uncle and aunt, I remember someone coming from South Africa. It was a woman, perhaps a relative, and she came to take my two older brothers back to South Africa with her. From that day I have never seen them again. “ “A few days before school began in the new year, I met Mr. John at Peak Central High School and he registered me for Form 1 and arranged for Hampton to pay my school fees. He bought me my new uniform and shoes for when school began at the end of January.” “I am good at English, accounts, religion and business studies. I love my English teacher because I can understand her better than the other teachers. At school we have a lot of activities such as African dancing, netball, volleyball, and ladies
soccer. I joined netball as it is something I love to do and it keeps me fit and healthy. I have made new friends at school as well as in the house where I stay with the other students. The students in the house have similar backgrounds to mine as they are all orphans. There is Dolly, Hloniphile and Londi and we get on well like sisters and take turns doing the cooking and cleaning in the house. It is a good place to live. “ “We call Mr. John Mkhulu. It means grandfather... Mkhulu has told us the story of the starfish and how the people of Hampton help him to help us. There are so many children, especially girls, who like me have become orphans. Many have a much worse life than mine has been. Many have stories without a happy ending. I feel like one of those starfish that Mkhulu has told us about. I am one of the ones you have made a difference to and I will always appreciate and be grateful to you. Because of the people in Hampton, my story has a happy ending.” The Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership gives you the opportunity to be a sponsor to a “starfish” like Zandile. If you are interested, please contact me, Mark Bettle, at bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca or 832-0003.

LISTEN IN by Jeff Liberty The Sweet Sound of Freedom: So I was sitting at my desk sort of organizing my week’s work, while I wasted a bit of time on Facebook. Being trapped on Facebook at times can be a paralyzing exercise where time disappears, it’s a black hole where you remain soulless until you’re liberated by its death grip. All of a sudden I see a post about a new song entitled “Freedom” by a local singer/songwriter Gordi Munro. I’m obviously drawn to the Title “Freedom” for obvious reasons (see my Surname). Curiosity had me click on the link to have a listen. I am finally (for who knows how long?) relieved of Facebook’s spell! The song starts off soft and sparse, with a lone piano followed by the smooth, rich voice of Gordi, as it seamlessly glides over top the instrumentation igniting a burst of warm sunshine pushing the dark clouds away. It’s a powerful, beautiful and uplifting piece of music! It reminds me in voice and feel of the late/great Ray Charles' interpretation of his hit “Georgia on My Mind” (from the 1960 album; The Genius Hits the Road) that was written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell. With a smattering and spirit reminiscent of the 1982 Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes duet “Up where we belong” from the soundtrack for the movie “An officer and a Gentleman”. I contact Gordi and set up a time to meet up and have a chat about the song. I make my way to the City Market where I stop for lunch at Slocum & Ferris (love that place!) and wait for Gordi. We hit it off, instantly mentioning mutual people we know in the biz. I express my enthusiasm for the song and its universal message. “Freedom is whatever you want it to be”, Gordi says. He tells me that song was written and recorded in just one fluid take, without any predetermined thought to either music or lyrics.” My writing partner, Armand AJ Dionne Jr., wanted to test out his new microphone.” Gordi laughs in explaining how they initiated the track. After just under three minutes of inspiration and spontaneity, the song “Freedom” was born! Gordi grew up in Halifax and his heritage harks back to that of the early Africans and Mi'kmaq First Nations. Gordi refers to himself as “Africadian.” This terminology was created by Canadian poet and playwright George Elliott Clarke (check out Wikipedia). “I came to the Saint John area to do some promotional stuff with a friend”. Gordi responded when asked how he came to move to our fair community.
Gordi is currently working on his third album, “Time is the Healer”, while promoting the new single “Freedom”. The song is also in the CBC Searchlight contest so you can help out Gordi by voting for the song here all while supporting great independent music from New Brunswick - music.cbc.ca/#/Searchlight (voting starts March 24). Find Gordi online at: gordimonro.com or

Up, Up & Away by ellen tucker Beware, and Be Aware!: Shopping around the world can be great fun! We often fall in love with mementos of a particular place, and most travellers bring home souvenirs. Beware! Many of those souvenirs can damage our Canadian homeland. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is not just a nuisance aimed at charging you duty! They are committed to the safety and security of Canadians, and our ecology. When returning from another country, it is vital to advise the CBSA officer of articles acquired outside Canada, because seemingly innocent things can be prohibited entry - for very good reason! Beautiful wood carvings, for example, can harbor insects that could devastate our local forests. So, declare any wood carvings. The officer will know what is permissible, and what is not will be confiscated, for safe disposal. Years ago, when I toured the Keukenhof Gardens in Holland, I wanted to bring home tulip bulbs. The vendor asked where I lived and when I told him, he
informed me that only specially inspected and packaged bulbs could be exported to Canada. It made me realize how careful we must all be when bringing plant life into Canada. For instance, don’t pick wildflowers in Greece, to bring home in your luggage. They’ll dry out, and you’ll throw them away, and dormant bacteria or insects hiding in them will be released - who knows where? Many people like to buy local food, such as Italian sausages, French cheeses, or English pork pies. These are forbidden entry to Canada! Meat products are an especial problem, and although some cheeses are allowed, the difficulty is knowing which ones. My practise is to enjoy these foods in their country of origin, and resist the temptation to bring any home, including fruits and vegetables. Some banned items might surprise you, like dog food, potatoes, and firewood. Yet others are no surprise, namely, fireworks, radar detectors, and assault rifles. Derivatives of endangered species are also forbidden; these often form
part of common souvenirs like clothing, jewelry, musical instruments, herbal or traditional medicines, cosmetic creams or food products. So, for example, if you are in China, do not buy pink coral, nor anything made from ivory. In Guatemala, don’t buy objects made from Cocobolo Rosewood. The list goes on… Be aware before you leave Canada, and consult the “I Declare” brochure, which is available from your travel agency, at airports and on: cbsa.gc.ca. So, let’s be “on guard” for our beautiful country, and for the endangered species of the world. 0043

There are days when I can’t think or function adequately. Am I losing my mind? Feelings of confusion, forgetfulness, or disorganization are often present during the grieving process. Your ability to concentrate may be severely hampered. Do as much as you can to reestablish a normal daily routine. Try keeping lists and calendar notes to remind you of things. Your mind is flooded with the thoughts of your new found circumstances but as your grieving process progresses, your usual thought processes will return. Be patient with yourself.

LIONS DONATE BOOKS TO MCS The Island View Lions have donated 10 books entitled ”Annie Sullivan and the Trials of Helen Keller” to Mrs. Johnston’s Grade 4 class at Macdonald Consolidated School. These graphic novels are a unique story with a combination of text and visual format. The story begins with the teachings from Annie Sullivan (who was visually impaired) to Helen Keller (who was both visually and hearing impaired) at the young age of six. Annie taught Helen through a modified version of sign language. Both of these girls went on to
get a university degree. Annie Sullivan went on to challenge the Lions group to become ”Knights of the Blind” and they accepted. For the past 89 years, Lions International has concentrated their efforts to helping the blind and visually impaired through recycling eyeglasses, building eye hospitals and providing guide dogs. Macdonald Consolidated wishes to thank the following lions for their gift to us: Royden Brien, Larry Greer, and Don MacDonald. 2694

MUSINgS by debbie hickey SPRING? . . . REALLY? As I sit down to write this on the eve of the first day of spring, a look out of the window makes that rather hard to believe. There is snow, snow and more snow, broken only by areas of not bare round (sigh) but of ice where the snow has been plowed for the driveway and yard. The radio trumpets the forecast. . . more snow (tho’ hopefully changing to rain in this area). I know my memory may be growing a little less sharp as the years accumulate, but I have reason to be aware of the weather at this time of year as one of my daughters was born mid-March. Many years of planning birthday parties are clear in my mind. . . 90% of the time the ground was if not totally bare certainly primarily so by midMarch. And I am very clear in my memory of mid-March two years ago, since my other daughter was hospitalized for a few days and we were visiting her dressed in shorts and t-shirts!
A few days ago I grew so disgusted with the endless winter that I rebelled and refused to wear another cozy sweater to work. In spite of the cold and snow I pulled out a colourful long summer skirt for the day (worn over a pair of leggings for warmth of course, I’m not crazy just fed up with winter). Yesterday a co-worker reported that the annual hummingbird migration is underway and the hummingbirds are in North Carolina. I recommend they stay there (their forecast for tomorrow is sunny and 20 degrees). And yet. . . there are subtle signs that spring is out there somewhere. The days are longer. There is heat in the sun, as evidenced by the melting of the ice in sunny spots (course it refreezes every night and adds to the thick layer in the yard). Yesterday I saw a dead racoon, the first of many roadkills I am sure. And at the office there is a lightening of the atmosphere. I hear giggles and jokes and
laughter. Time spent with friends can uplift even the coldest days and a little laughter sure helps. But. . . does that laughter sound a little maniacal? Perhaps we have simply all gone over the edge... A little madness in the Spring is wholesome even for the King. ~Emily Dickinson. 0002
