It’s a beautiful spring like morning even though it’s winter. The temperature is warm even though it’s March. It’s 5:30am and I’m out walking in the fresh air with my sneakers and light jacket on. Gone are my winter boots, hat, mitts, and scarf! As I’m walking I see individuals out with their pet dogs, walking and jogging. I think back to my childhood and our neighbour’s pet cat “George” who used to be at our home all the time. George was a member of our family and he brought so much joy and happiness to all of us. Although I have many fond memories of growing up with George, one memory in particular was when I was five years old. George was an older cat, black and white in colour, and who allowed me to dress him up. On one particular day I took my younger brother’s baby clothes, his knitted blue coloured hat, booties and sweater and dressed him up. After dressing George in my brother’s Sunday clothes, I wrapped him in my brother’s baby blanket, put him in my doll stroller and off we went. George and I went to visit a resident at the Sacred Heart Home, a nursing home across the street from where I grew up and the original owner of George. I was very excited for her to see him. When we arrived at the nursing home we went onto the elevator to the 4th floor. When the elevator door opened there were women standing there and one asked if she could see the baby. Still wrapped in the blanket, I proudly

lifted him out of my doll stroller and said this is “George”. When she went to peek inside the blanket I pulled it back, then she could see his face and whiskers poking out with his blue bonnet still on. The next thing I remember was this resident screaming because of the shock of seeing a cat and not a baby!!!!!! The staff were very nice and George and I continued on our journey to visit with our friend and she was so excited to see and spend time with her precious George. However, when I got home my parents told me I could not take George back to the nursing home as the administrator had called and said pets were not allowed in the building. How could this be I thought because George brought so much joy and love to this resident and to my family. Today we see pets being an important part of resident’s lives in nursing homes and pets can be an important part in a family's life where they can bring love and comfort. For me growing up, George was the best pet I could ever have asked for. 0001

HAMPTON MINOR HOCKEY INVITES ALL PLAYERS AND FAMILIES FROM ATOM TO NOVICE-MIDGET TO COME AND JOIN US FOR OUR

ANNUAL YEAR END CELEBRATION AND AWARDS BANQUET

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” – Winston S. Churchill The tagline of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is “help, hope and opportunity”. “Opportunity” refers to the opportunity we provide the young people in Piggs Peak - the opportunity for a better future from receiving a high school education. But it also refers also to the opportunity we provide to the people in this area – the opportunity to help others less fortunate than ourselves. Some of you may be familiar with the PALS (Partners Assisting Local Schools) initiative. The project aims to break the cycle of poverty for students living in identified priority neighbourhoods served by local schools. What you probably don’t know is that one of the PAL schools, St. Patrick’s School, has been sponsoring two Starfish students in Piggs Peak. St. Patrick’s is a K-5 school with a vision for the students to be “responsible, productive, independent, and globallyminded.” What better way to teach students to be globally minded than to connect them with fellow students in Africa. Through their sponsorship, the students are learning the importance of helping those less fortunate than themselves… and that there are always people less fortunate than ourselves. I believe that giving these students the opportunity to help others is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. One of the biggest ongoing challenges

of the Partnership is communication between Starfish sponsors and students. Because Swazi mail and internet service are unavailable to most students, they have little opportunity for direct communication with sponsors. One of our primary goals in 2016 is to improve sponsor-student communication. Bev Harrison will be travelling to Piggs Peak this spring with this as one of his main objectives. Maureen Robichaud, our grandmother partnership co-ordinator, will also be travelling to Piggs Peak this spring to assess, and potentially expand, ongoing grandmother partnership projects like the gogo garden and maize mill. The Partnership has lots on the go – supporting 134 students and other major projects. We are fortunate to have dedicated volunteers like Maureen and Bev who are willing to pay their own way to Swaziland to monitor and advance our work there. We are looking forward to hearing from both of them while they are in Piggs Peak as they report back on their findings. We are also fortunate to have supporters like St. Patrick’s school, who have taken the opportunity to help those who are less fortunate. Remember, you have the opportunity to help as well. It’s as easy as going to our website: hamptonpiggspeak. ca and clicking the DonateNow button. No donation is too small. For more information, contact me, Mark Bettle at: bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca. 0010

Bring your loved one to the Kennebecasis Valley Hearing Centre during the month of March for a Free consultation with our Audiologist and receive a $100 Gift Certificate towards the purchase of Hearing Aids.

BLOOD DONOR Confession time…. in my forty plus years on this earth I have selfishly only donated my universal donor, O negative blood type a handful of times. I know that there are a ton of people who would love to donate but cannot, and here I was, able but not willing. The last time I donated I was probably in my 20’s. I guess I started to worry that donating blood would somehow suck the life out of me, make me tired, weak, anemic, lower my immune system and silly enough I was worried that the blood I had pulsing through my veins could never be fully recreated or duplicated by my body and have I mentioned there are needles? So why the change of heart? Well someone close to me needed to receive blood. It really hit me that there are truly giving people out there and thank goodness for that. I shiver to think where we would be without blood donors… maybe not all above ground. This group of people who donate a part of themselves to help people they will never meet are angels in my books. I then read an article in which a local man donated 800 blood and plasma donations and I thought “Wow, this really is a special person and an amazing role model”. So I did a little googling and found out that donating blood is actually good for your health! Apparently people who donate blood live longer, have a reduced risk for heart attacks and cancer. Donating blood is a win-win. I booked my first blood donation appointment for March 24 as there will be a Blood Clinic at the Hampton Seniors Resource Center, DeMille Court. It’s a start for me, and it’s about time I begin to make up years of hanging onto something that can save a life.

EMERGENCY MEASURES FAMILY EMERGENCY PLAN The easiest action you can take to “Be Prepared – Not Scared” is to create a family emergency plan. To start you need to think about: safe exits from your home and neighbourhood; meeting place for family members to meet; if you have children in school designate another person to pick them up, list the name with the school and to ensure they are authorized to pick up the student; contact persons in and out of town; health and insurance information; if you have pets, how they are going to be taken care of; what risks are in your region and the location of fire extinguishers, water valve, electrical power shut off. Do you have at least two exits from every room? Have you talked about and done a fire drill? Where is the meeting place after you leave? If you live in the KV, their Fire Department will do a safety check of your house for free. If you have to evacuate, what are the exits from your area. Have you established a place to meet in case the family is not all

• 2 lb Spray Foam • Fiberglass & Cellulose • Old & New Homes

together? Ensure that the school or daycare have updated telephone numbers for yourself and designated individuals so in case of emergency you can be contacted. Health information about any special medical conditions, prescriptions, allergies, vaccinations, Doctor contact information, and vision needs. My pharmacy, at Sobeys, provides me with a printout of all my medications and dosages. If you have pets, they also have to be taken care off. During an evacuation the best thing to do to keep them safe, is to take them with you. Many reception centres and hotels will not allow pets, so having planned for a friend, shelter of “pet friendly hotel” outside of the area to take care of them is the best. What are the risks in your area? Snow storms, rain storms, flooding and power outages are prevalent in the region. However, risks associated with major transportation lines, highways and trains

or ports should be considered. Hazardous material leaks may require you to shelter in place until it is safe to leave. Do you know how to “shelter in place”? Forest and wildfires are a concern of many. On May 15-16, 1986 one thousand were evacuated in the Upper Gagetown and Burton area. This was one wild fire of over 100 wildfires burning in Eastern Canada at the time. List the emergency and non-emergency numbers of first responders, your municipal government and family and friends. The web site - getprepared.gc.ca has a Family Plan that you can complete on the screen and printout or printout and fill in by hand. 0039 Brian Shanks CD, BA, MEP, DTM

LISTEN IN WE ARE RICH IN TALENT “Music that is off the beaten path. If you think classical music is just Beethoven and Braun, you’re wrong. Although we do that too.” Is how David Dow, Public Relations Manager of the Musica Viva New Brunswick Orchestra explains what they do. The orchestra just finished a very successful back to back December performance of The Nutcracker Ballet with the Atlantic Dance Academy in Sackville at Convocation Hall for over 1000 music and arts lovers. David tells me they plan their performances by rotating around the province. “We are in the early stages of working on a performance in May for Fredericton”, David elaborates on some of their future plans. I really love the forward thinking and open-minded creativity of this orchestra. The orchestra is conducted by Dr. James Mark. Learn more about them at: musicavivanb.ca. There are also some stellar live music shows happening in the greater Saint John area you may want to mark on your calendar as a “not to miss” evening out

on the town. Spring time and music are literally in the air as shows in the area will be blooming as early as April.

THE CURMUDGEON I’M AT THAT AGE WHEN . . . Completing the Canadian Business magazine’s on-line life expectancy quiz seemed like a fun Sunday evening’s entertainment. The good news: I’ve a better than fighting chance of reading this when it appears in print. Statistics Canada estimates the average life expectancy of a New Brunswick born male to be somewhere around 78 years. Canadian Business magazine gave me an additional year. Whoo-hoo! The magazine’s quiz took into account several lifestyle factors, such as smoking, drinking and eating way too much good food. So . . . then I started thinking – which, as my wife will attest, ain’t necessarily a good thing. What if, all other things being equal, I smoked, drank way too much and generally just out did myself

in the deadly sin of gluttony? Well, I surmised, common wisdom being what it is, I’d probably be dead by now. So, I re-ran the numbers, keeping all things equal except now I smoked two or more packs a day, drank a fish bowl or two of the demon whiskey weekly and ate enough meat to garner my own PETA campaign. And, drum roll please, with all this added sinning, I’ll kick that bucket of moonshine one year sooner – or, more accurately, I’ll live as long as Statistics Canada has already said I would. So, here I am, staring at life’s sunset wondering if maybe this would be the time to take up these vices. I mean what have I got to lose? You do only live once and what’s a year anyway? A mere rounding error, I’d suggest. Of course, neither Statistics Canada

nor Canadian Business factored in my loving spouse’s response should I decide to do something this stupid. That response, I can reasonably assure you, would seriously jeopardize my chances of living long enough, or at the least being healthy enough, to read this in print. I’ll go back to my dry toast and tea now . . . 0002 Robert Cole

FOOD BASKET NEWS Thanks are extended to the many volunteers and donors who support this outreach. We are appreciative of donations of clean, good quality clothing and household goods and ask that anyone wishing to donate would call one of the information numbers to arrange delivery; goods cannot be left outside the Church door since they could impede traffic and be damaged by weather conditions. For information: Catherine 943-0158; Janice 832-4340; David 644-8476; Louise 832-5303; Betty 832-7526. Our resources are such that we can only provide each family with a substantial supply of food once a month; we are open only on the third Thursday of every month between 8:30 and 11:00am. Clients who are unable to come on the designated day will need to assign a friend or relative to pick up their order for them, bringing their medicare number and a note confirming the arrangement. We will continue the screening process in hopes of helping clients, as well as providing data to convince Government that more help is needed. The next preparation day will be on Wednesday, March 16 from 8:00-10:00am. Clients will be served on Thursday, March 17 from 8:30-11:00am. We ask that clients not smoke on Church property, if you need to, please do so in your vehicle. Tax returns will again be completed, free of charge to any client during March and April client days. This service is done in a confidential atmosphere, so gather up your data and bring it in. Sincere thanks are extended to those who supplied so many of our requests last month, the clients were delighted. Presently we have need of one fridge and one fold-up cot, if you are able to supply either of these items, please call Janice at 832-4340. We have had to drastically cut the amount of food that we offer to our clients, 400/0 of our donations come in December and the wonderful results of Harbour Lights gladden our hearts in February; however it’s all downhill after that and we are sustained by a few faithful donors. Our treasurer does his best to allocate according to his best guess as to what the income will be over the year, not an easy task, and with escalating costs and increased clientele, jolly nearly impossible! Our thanks go out to him for the great job he does and we now have a method that will help considerably in our

effort to help feed the needy. We receive no government funding and our mandate is that we can only buy food with our donations and cover the essential expenses incurred in running the outreach. All staff are volunteers. Arrangements have been made to enable donations through Canada Helps; this system allows the public to donate on a monthly basis, for many people $ 10 a month would hardly be missed and would yield a tax receipt at year’s end for $120, benefitting both Donor and the

Food Basket. Search for “Hampton Food Basket Canada Helps” and the process is simple, we already have received several cheques from them. Should you wish to support us with a cheque; it can be sent to our treasurer, 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton, E5N 5B4. Hallelujahs will resound!!! “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me”. 0029

WELL RESTED FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1) Doesn't everyone snore? Most people snore at some point. You are more likely to snore if you have a cold, are very tired, lay on your back or after ingesting alcohol or certain medications. Many people snore several times a week or every night. The snoring might indicate a very serious sleep disorder - Sleep Apnea. Snoring is partial closure of the throat causing the tissue to vibrate, which causes the snoring. For many, the throat tissue closes off completely and causes the person to stop breathing; this is called Sleep Apnea and contributes to conditions such as daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart failure. 2) Do I have to stay overnight in the hospital for the test? Most people can be tested in the

comfort of their own bed. A small device consisting of a belt, finger probe and breathing monitor are applied before bed and removed in the morning. The data is then sent to a doctor specializing in sleep medicine to be assessed. The client is called with the results and report is sent to your family doctor. 3) I can't wear a big mask when I sleep, I'm claustrophobic. Is there something else I can use? The gold standard treatment for sleep apnea is CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). Often a small device is applied under the nose and a light flow of air is blown into the throat to keep it open so the person can breathe at night exactly like they do during the day. They can get into a deep sleep instead of having many awakenings as they catch their breath. A one month

free trial is offered to make sure the treatment is beneficial to you. 4) I can't afford a CPAP machine anyway. Your health insurance plan most likely covers CPAP equipment. If you already have a CPAP machine you are usually covered for replacement tubes and filters. A new CPAP machine is generally covered every five years. 0038

HAMPTON HISTORY THE ROYAL LADY ARRIVED 70 YEARS AGO A very important and unique part of Hampton’s story involved the account of Princess Louise, the filly which became the mascot of the VIII Princess Louise’s (N.B.) Hussars. The filly was found on a battlefield in 1944 when several of the soldiers, many from the Kings County area, came upon her while retrieving a disabled tank. Lt.-Col. G. R. H. “Bob” Ross, the commanding officer of the Hussars when he returned to Canada, was a Hampton native. He wrote in his account, entitled The Last Horse, about the “little horse hit by a hunk of steel.” He continued: the “little colt [more correctly”filly”] of three or four months was sticking close to its mother in spite of the fact that the mother had been disemboweled by shell-fire and had been dead for several days. The colt had worn a path in its ceaseless trampling around the recumbent form of its deceased parent and was verging on starvation as evidenced by its frequent attempts to obtain nourishment from the familiar but dried up source of parental supply.” Thad Stevens, a long-time caregiver for the filly, recalled in the interview in the late 1970s: “They couldn’t move her from Italy to Holland because they had strict rules that no animals were to be taken out of Italy. Field Marshall Montgomery, who had seen the horse, knew how much it meant to the boys. The boys made up their minds that they were going to take her to Holland, so they fixed up a truck and loaded it with machine guns. They put the machine gun boxes up the sides and in the middle surrounded by machine gun boxes, some of which were empty, was the colt and the sergeant. Following the war, and after cutting through much governmental and military “red tape”, the Princess arrived on a Dutch vessel in New York in March 1946. She was met by Trooper E. A. Jackson, of St. Martins, who had tended the mascot in Europe. From New York the Princess and the trooper made their way by train to Montreal and then to New Brunswick. Greeted by large crowds at the Saint John rail station, the Princess then made her way through the Kennebecasis Valley where again throngs of people gathered to see her.

An account in The Kings County Record of April 4, 1946 gives the following information - bear in mind the reporter “interviewed” the Princess. “My first stop in Kings County was at Rothesay, where I inspected the pupils of Rothesay Consolidated School. They were sweet, and I was so sorry I couldn’t stay longer. We had to go to Hampton for a formal welcome which included the presentation of my naturalization papers to me.” Later she visited Sussex. Magistrate Arthur J. Kelly presented the Princess with a “Certificate of Naturalization changing her from an Italian to a Canadian.” The certificate, dated March 27, 1946, reads in part as follows”: Know all men by these here presents (viz: one bale of hay and one bag of oats) the Royal Lady, hereinafter known as Princess Louise, is hereby made and proclaimed a citizen of the great Dominion of Canada and a free woman of the Village of Hampton (including Hampton Station) and as such is entitled to roam at will over hill and vale in that community and to devour and partake of that which she so pleaseth, whether it be from carefully tended garden or from the bursting warehouses of Henry Sharp and in addition may at her own discretion find and take lodging wheresoever she desireth, whether it be private home, public building or No.’s 1 & 2 fire sheds. [Editor’s Note: Mr. Sharp owned the local feed mill which was located on the present (2016) “Pharmasave” parking lot.] Some prominent Hamptonians of the time were listed on the certificate to perform special duties for the Princess. They were Dr. V. A. Snow, M.D. (Physician - Extraordinary), Gladys Smith (Publicity, including jubilees, etc.), Arthur Kelly (Legal Aid, including proper upbringing of offspring), Stephen Whitehead (Masterof-Horse, including shovel and broom duties), Harry Crawford (Exercise and Recreation), Charles R. DeMille (Selection of Suitable Prince Consort), Henry Sharp (Purveyor of Equine Dainties to Her Majesty). Messrs Crawford, Kelly, DeMille and Snow signed the document. Princess Louise made application for “Membership in The Canadian Legion

of the British Empire Service League” (Hampton Branch #28) on April 16, 1946. Some interesting information may be gleaned from that document, which is presently housed in the Legion Hall at Hampton. This includes: Occupation (Mascot), Married or Single (Single), Number of dependents (3420, total regimental enlistment), Place of birth (Coriane, Italy), Age on enlistment (four months), Date and rank on enlistment (5th August 1944), Unit (VIII Princess Louise’s (N.B.) Hussars), Service (Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Canada), Service Decorations (Italy Star, France & Germany Star, C. V. S. M. Clasp, Order of the Iron Horse (4) First Class), Service Disabilities (Thrice wounded - no after effects). The application for Legion membership was proposed by G. H. R. Ross and signed by the Lieutenant-Colonel. Also signing the application were Princess Louise (signed with right front hoof) and H. T. Stevens (signed as seconder). Princess Louise, the mascot, “retired” in 1969 after having moved from Hampton for stays in Sussex and Havelock. She died in 1973 and was buried at the Hampton Cenotaph. Her life story is inscribed on a stone there. Each Remembrance Day a poppy is placed by her stone. Is there a mascot buried at any other Canadian cenotaph? I wonder. The Princess had three offspring. (1) Princess Louise II was born June 1954 and died in 1981 and is also buried at the Hampton Cenotaph. Princess Louise II, who had become the regimental mascot in 1958, gave birth to a daughter. The daughter lived four years. (2) The second offspring of the Italian-born Princess Louise was Prince (born 1955; died 1963). (3) Hussar, also known as Laddie, was born in 1957 and died in 1976. There were no offsprings from the males. I believe that 70 years ago - March 1946 - still retains memories of the Princess for many of our readers.

ASK THE CHEF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week I read an article on the forbidden fruit. What do you think is the forbidden fruit? I would have assumed the apple, after the story of Adam and Eve, but in fact the forbidden fruit is grapefruit. So why is the grapefruit the forbidden fruit? I guess we should start with what is a grapefruit and where does the name come from. The grapefruit is a subtropical citrus tree which produces a semi-sweet fruit. It is a hybrid discovered first in Barbados in 1750. It is a cross between the sweet orange of Jamaica and the pomelo. When it was first discovered by a Welshman named Rev. Griffith Hughes, he named it the forbidden fruit, since it was not fruit made from God. In 1823, Count Odet Phillipe brought the fruit to Florida and renamed it grapefruit. This name comes from the fact that grapefruit looks like clusters

nths

of grapes when hanging from the tree. From this point, many people started trying to make their own hybrids by crossing tangerine and other citrus to make a new grapefruit. The introduction of the ruby grapefruit was introduced in 1929. Believe it or not, this was created by exposing the grapefruit to radiation to affect the enzyme to create this ruby colour. It was so popular a fruit that most of the grapefruit that came before, went extinct since everyone just wanted the ruby grapefruit. It was so popular that the ruby grapefruit is actually a symbolic fruit in Texas. So the reason I thought that that calling the grapefruit, the forbidden fruit applies strongly today is that the Grapefruit is one fruit that can cause adverse effects in many drugs. Grapefruit juice contains furanocoumarin, which irreversibly inhibit a metabolizing enzyme called CYP3A4. CYP3A4 is a metabolizing enzyme for almost 50%

of drugs. So if you are on medication, most likely you should avoid grapefruit, making it a forbidden fruit. But this was discovered hundreds of years after the original name. Maybe it’s the food nerd in me, but this is stuff I find fascinating. Grapefruit is very nutritional. Very high in vitamin C, high in antioxidants and has shown that it reduces cholesterol in your system. So as long as you are not on any medication, grapefruit is a great food source for a stronger body. Who knew that this mistake of a plant, which ends up being exposed to radiation, would be so good for you and show up in all grocery stores and become a staple in many people's diet. 0040

Business Insurance “Are you protected?” One of the greatest risks to a business is the potential exposure to Liability... Commercial auto insurance protects your company for the operation of an automobile, but what about your non-auto exposures? Commercial General Liability provides coverage for your business activities if your company’s negligence causes injury or property damage to another. Many businesses in Atlantic Canada, due to our population & geography, often conduct more than one business activity. It is critical that your insurance policy states all your business activities. Should your business begin a new venture, your insurance provider must be notified of this change immediately.

LOCAL ATHLETES SHINE AT CHAMPIONSHIPS At the 2016 Atlantic University Track and Field Championships, two of Hampton's own shined for the UNB Varsity Red Athletes at the Moncton event on February 27 and 28. Grace Annear won gold in the 600 meter race with a time of 1:31.20s, which is an AUS Record, CEPS record, CIS Standard, and UNB Record. This time ranks Grace #1 in the country. Grace also won the 1000 meter race and was part of the UNB 4x400 meter relay team that captured the silver medal. Daniel Brown lead the 600 meter race from start to finish to win gold in a time of 1:22.15, over a second in front of second place. This time ranks Daniel #16 in the country. Although Daniel was unable to run in the 300 meter race due to a cleat injury in the 600 meter race that needed a brief hospital visit, he was part of the UNB 4x200 meter relay team and the 4x400 meter relay team, both winning the bronze medal. There were many athletes who obtained excellent results, broke records and personal bests in this provincial sports events. To see two young athletes from Hampton continue to accomplish their goals year over year is heart warming to all the proud Hampton residents. Congratulations to both Grace and Daniel. 3960
