Back by popular demand!! Okay, two people clearly stated that they missed my writing!! Good enough for me!! So the big news is that the deal to purchase the business is off. Since, we are a good news type of publication, I am going to spare you the gory details. We are currently seeking professional advice and the future is uncertain to say the least. At a minimum we are committed to operate as normal through to the end of June. Stay posted and we will try and keep you up to date as best we can. A great big thank you to our wonderful staff. Debbie told the staff the bad news right away and bless them... they were far more upset for her than for themselves. Moving on. I have been using a tablet for quite some time now for borrowing and reading library books. Even though we almost exclusively purchased second hand books, it was still a fair dent in our budget every few weeks and you certainly can’t shop from the comfort of your recliner. A few weeks ago at a meeting I picked up a colourful booklet on Best Management Practices for NB woodlot owners and was surprised that after tapping a number of pages the darn things didn’t turn over. I’m betting the battery was dead!! Then a couple of weeks ago I got the electronic version of a book by Ken Follett “Pillars of the Earth”. So, I had been reading for a number of days and wondered how close I was getting to the end. If you tap on the bottom of the screen, it will tell you exactly where

you are in the book. Wow, I’m at page 500+. Holy Smokes... 900 more pages to go!!! I just couldn't believe that the tablet shouldn’t feel a lot heavier. How was I to know what I was getting into?? What if I had left reading this book until there was only seven days or so remaining before my borrowing time was up. So... come on library people this is a big problem. You need to find heavier electrons or something to use so we can tell when we have picked a big one. In other news, it has been a great past few months working in the woods. I have cut down some large White Spruce and Fir for sawlogs and to improve some smaller White Ash. Anyone interested in planting trees on their property should have a serious look at climate change, as many traditional conifers are not going to fare well with rising temperatures. Oops... out of space and time... maybe more next issue. 0002

BELLEISLE POOL WE NEED YOUR HELP

HAMPTON TOWN WIDE YARD SALE

Our indoor pool is now over 35 years old and in need of repairs to re-open and continue to provide our children and community with swimming lessons and recreation. The following is a brief history of the pool. In 1981, partly through memorial donations for two young brothers, Michael and Bruce Stockford, of Wickham who had drowned in 1979, the Belleisle Community Pool (attached to BES) was opened. For over 30 years all of the pupils at the two Belleisle schools were able to receive free swim lessons as part of their physical education class. For over 30 years no children who had access to these lessons has drowned in our communities. The pool has employed local youth over the years; through Swim & Gym for children in the summer and by giving Red Cross swimming lessons throughout the year. The pool has been operated by the community as a not-for-profit facility, but due to age it now needs significant (expensive) infrastructure upgrades. This has caused the pool to be closed of over a year. The two major issues are the (HVAC) heat/ventilation system and the pumping system. The cost of these replacements is significant. We as a community cannot raise these funds alone, the support of businesses is important to the re-opening of our pool. Silent auction items will be gladly accepted at any time. Your help is greatly needed to make this happen. For more information please contact any member of the Pool Association. The Belleisle Community Pool Association. 4077

The Hampton Town Wide Yard Sale will be held on Saturday, June 4 from 8:00am-1:00pm. For $10 you can register to be on the map at Kredl’s and Village Hair Design during regular business hours; or St. Paul’s Anglican Church Monday-Thursday from 9:00-11:00am. All registration money goes to send Hampton area children to Camp Medley. The Canadian Diabetic Association truck will be in the St. Paul’s Anglican Church parking lot between 1:00-3:00pm to collect any donations.

Q. I’m the executor of an estate. There doesn’t seem to be enough assets to pay all the bills. What should I do? A. An executor has to be cautious while administering the estate of the deceased person. This is particularly true if the debts of the estates are more than its assets. If this is the case, keep in mind the following: • Simply being the executor of an estate does not make you personally liable for the debts of the estate. The liabilities of an estate can encumber its assets, but this liability does not extend to other people unless they guaranteed the debts of the deceased person. • An executor can be personally liable to the creditors of an estate if the executor distributes the assets without paying the claims of creditors. If you are the executor of an estate which you believe may be insolvent, one option may be for the estate to be assigned into bankruptcy.

SELF ESTEEM MENTAL HEALTH & YOU Mental illness. What is there to be ashamed of? Absolutely nothing! Mental health concerns us all. Mental illness does not discriminate… young, old, male or female, 1 in 5 Canadians will experience mental health issues every year. The human race has been affected by mental illness since the beginning of time. It has been suggested that Albert Einstein, the genius who developed the theory of relativity, had a mild form of autism or Asperger's syndrome. William Shakespeare wrote of many characters who displayed a variety of mental illness symptoms (Lear’s madness, Jacques’ melancholy, Timon’s bitter cursing). Thomas Edison, world famous inventor who created the electric light bulb, had ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Canada’s own, Clara Hughes, six time Olympic Champion, suffers from depression. The stigma that often surrounds mental illness is keeping many from seeking help. In fact, many mental illness sufferers say the stigma is often worse than the illness itself.

They are told things like “snap out of it” or “it can’t be that bad’’. Would we say this to a diabetic? Someone who had a heart attack? Mental illness is just as substantial as cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and broken bones. The pain is real! Canada has many initiatives in place to end the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Bell’s Let’s Talk motivates people to speak openly and honestly about mental health. Have you heard of the Semicolon Project? People tattoo semicolons on their body part of choice. Sound crazy? I did it! I had a semicolon permanently inked on my left wrist. Why? A semi-colon is used when an author could end their sentence but chooses not to. I am the author and the sentence is my life. My semicolon reminds me of how far I have come in my own journey with depression, and of all those who are affected by mental illness. Educate yourself. You, a friend, a family member or a co-worker could be affected by mental illness, at any time. If you suffer with a mental illness, I beg you to not

‘become’ your illness. Do not label yourself. You are still you. No one else can be you. That in itself makes you unique. Your mental health is only a part of who you are. Like any other health concern, the earlier you seek medical attention, the better the outcome. If you want to support someone dealing with mental health issues, be gentle. You can not always do or say the right thing. However, you can reach out and show that you care. Everyone, whether they are ill or not need to feel loved, supported and validated. I believe we should not give up until everyone experiencing a mental health issue gets both the support and respect they deserve. 0027

LIVE WELL CREATING HEALTHY, GROWING RELATIONSHIPS Author and motivational speaker, Earnie Larsen, described relationships as “the riskiest business you will ever get into because you are totally dependent on the other person playing fair.” The three most common ways partners do not play fair is when there are lies, secrets, and silence. Even “little white lies,” or lies told to prevent conflict, hurt feelings or only giving partial answers are ways trust is destroyed. Trust, the cornerstone of healthy relationships, is not easily repaired once broken. Keeping secrets is harmful because either there is something wrong with the behavior or there is a lack of trust. However, it is important to note that sometimes a partner keeps secrets as part of their safety plan in cases of domestic abuse. Silence is a killer of relationships when we fail to speak up for ourselves, as we can end up harboring resentment or using the silent treatment to punish for a real or perceived injustice. When issues are not resolved, hurt, misunderstanding

and/or anger is pushed down only to be resurrected at a later time and it becomes the time that never ends. Earnie Larsen described three positions one can be in with regards to a relationship: in, out, or stuck in wait. To be “in” a relationship, there are shared goals, vision, and agreements on who will do what. Partners function like a team of oxen pulling a load and sharing burdens. When one is “out” of a relationship, they do not continue to emotionally invest in the partnership. This includes letting go of anger or seeking retaliation for wrongs incurred; just as love is a bond between people, so, too, is anger and resentment. Therefore, work at releasing negative feelings so they are not carried into a new partnership. Of the three positions, “stuck in wait” can be the most painful because one hopes the partner will change or a behavior will either start or stop. But “wait” is a very painful place to be because feelings are often buoyed only to be dashed a

short time later when the change is not sustained. I often use an analogy to describe the “wait” position; it is like an individual straddling a fence. One foot is rooted in the history of the partnership and though it might be miserable, it is familiar misery and one knows what to expect. The other foot is pointed toward the future full of possibilities, yet fearful and exciting. Sadly, the picket on the fence is not too comfortable and eventually one has to move. Engaging a professional counsellor can help individuals consider outcomes for either decision and assist him/her in choosing a solution that works best for them while also giving consideration to consequences for how a decision might affect the family. 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Diretor

GONE FISHING THE SHAD ARE COMING! In the latter half of May an annual migration of Gaspereaux (also called Alewife) and then American Shad takes place in the Saint John River system. These two fish are members of the herring family and are key members of the food chain for many other species in our rivers and oceans. Countless numbers of these silver fish

will be able to be seen in many rivers and streams as they may their way upriver to spawn. The American Shad is a fish enjoyed by many New Brunswickers. Weighing between 3 and 8 lbs they are very oily and bony with a delicate flavour when cooked. Today the roe harvested from female Shad is considered a delicacy in

many high end kitchens. Fishing for Shad is an amazing experience, though with a bit of a learning curve. For their size the Shad put up an enormous fight when hooked, often jumping out of the water several times and can be a challenge to land. Shad have very soft mouths, so if an angler retrieves a hooked shad with too much force, the hook will tear through and the fish will be lost. To fish for Shad many people use lures called Shad darts, while others use a small colourful weighted jig head with a little soft plastic grub added to it. A third option is sinking Shad flies which are very popular in places like Salmon River up near Chipman. This year I have added a few new lures to my tackle box in hopes they turn into a new secret prized Shad lure! Like with any fishing, experimenting is not only key, but also helps in the enjoyment when you discover something that works! When you fish Shad, you want your lure to be down near the bottom of the river and you want to make it dance. The more movement you can put into your lure, the more likely a Shad will attack it. I have anchored my kayak above a school of Shad before in crystal clear water and watched as they swim by a lure that is still, but the moment it starts to move, their attention perks up! Cast your lure across the current of a river, and once it hits the bottom, start bouncing it along the rocks rapidly as you retrieve it. Once a Shad hits, make sure your drag is set to a light enough setting so that it can run but have to exert some energy to do so. After a few minutes retrieve the fish in if you can, and get a net ready. If you try to lift a Shad out with your line you may just lose the fish! 0034

SUSSEX REGIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL UPDATE The 2nd Annual Sussex Regional Music Festival was held Monday, April 18. Performances by the Sussex Middle and High School Concert Band took place at the Middle School in three classes – Beginner Band, Junior Band and Junior Stage Band, under the direction of Jeanette Fisher. Dr. James Mark from Sackville, NB adjudicated the classes. The sounds of music were also heard at the Sussex Wesleyan Church as Grade 2-5 classrooms from Sussex Elementary School participated in non-competitive Classroom Singing under the direction of Sylvie Frenette-LaRush. The adjudicator was Christopher Lane of Saint John. Mid-morning audience members were treated to several Musical Theatre numbers, complete with costumes and acting. Lillian and Eleanor Mason Coleman each performed a piece from the Sound of Music; Mariah Straight performed In My Own Little Corner [Cinderella] and God Help the Outcasts [The Hunchback of Notre Dame]. These solos were followed by

Three young violinists performed two pieces each, for Dr. Mark. Eleanor and Lillian Mason Coleman, and Aaron Nice received gold medals in Beginner Strings, Primary Strings and Elementary Fiddle respectively. The festival finished with three elementary pianists playing two pieces each for piano adjudicator Barbara Long of Hartland. Ella Thorne, Kirstyn Campbell and Haley Campbell each earned a gold medal in their category. The Sussex Regional Music Festival is a project of the NB Federation of Music Festivals with the support of the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture of the NB government. Executive Director, Barbara Long explained that NBFMF is seeking to start new or revitalize music festivals in the province so that all students

have the access to the benefits of festival participation regardless of their geographical location. Sussex has a rich history of music festivals between the years of 1956 and 1981, but the area was without this important cultural event for its students for 34 years until last year when the festival was revived. Mrs. Long was assisted in the revitalization of the Sussex Regional Music Festival by Christopher Lane, Rosanna Armstrong, Sylvie Frenette-LaRush, Jeanette Fisher, and Sheri Smidt. Barb Bickerton, President of the Sussex Kiwanis Club and Fenella Brewer, Secretary of the Sussex Area Community Foundation were present to make financial presentations to open the festival in both locations. NBFMF thanks them for their generous support, as well as the Sussex Wesleyan Church and the Anglophone South School District for their gifts in kind. Everyone involved deemed the 2016 festival a success and are looking forward to the 2017 Sussex Regional Music Festival. 4063

LISTEN IN THE AWESOME 80’S ALWAYS MAKES FOR A GOOD PARTY! The 80’s was my decade of fun and tomfoolery. Everything was over the top, the hair was big, and the music (not all of it) was bigger and bolder and all the cool bands wore eyeliner. Having both ears pierced and wearing eyeliner when you lived in a rural community (as I did) outside of Ottawa could be tricky for a young wannabe rock star like myself. My dad wondered about me and wasn’t really excited about all my band posters that wallpapered my bedroom wall; The Cure, Platinum Blonde, KISS and Poison to name a few. Haha I loved it all! My life revolved around playing hockey, riding my Kawasaki dirt bike, playing my music - which included my band Looktwice. I was the singer! I remember rushing home off the school bus, tearing down our long dirt driveway to catch “Video Hits” on my first colour TV with host Samantha Taylor (I had a crush on her) to watch my favorite video’s from the Northern Pikes, Glass Tiger, Haywire,

New Regime and Eye Eye all while playing Asteroids on my Atari game console. Life was sweet! I moved to the Saint John area over 14 years ago with my young family and my soul mate Cynthia (a Rothesay native) and with music being my lifelong and faithful companion I even helped organize with a few friends (John and Chris) an 80’s retro music festival called “Pop Goes The City” where we had iconic 80’s bands perform for the faithful including; Haywire, The Spoons, The Box and Blue Peter. There is a big 80’s party coming to Saint John on Saturday, June 25 7:00pm at the Kent Theatre on Coburg Street in the city with JACKIE SMITH & RAZORBOY (yes, that is the name of a Steely Dan song as well from their 1973 album “Countdown to Ecstasy”) with guests “AIRTITE” who are reuniting for this special night, along with openers “11th Hour”. Not being from here I am unfamiliar with Razorboy, but the

Halifax band has been around since its 1981 inception and this promises to be a razor sharp Rock ‘N’ Roll night of unbridled “Let’s Go Crazy” (RIP Prince) fun down the rabbit hole, that was the 80’s eh! The event is being billed as “Remembering the 80’s”, but who can forget it! I’ll be kick’n it in my 80’s attire! Tickets for this fun evening are available at Green Lee Show or the Imperial Theatre for cool price of only $20 (first 200 only); and $27.50 after they are gone.

Kick Off to

Outdoor Living! It is finally here. The calendar may claim Spring starts March 21st (or thereabouts) but here in the Maritimes we know it doesn’t really arrive until the May long weekend. This is when cottages get opened for the season, when gardening can begin in earnest (hopefully without danger of a killing frost), and when we start to enjoy the BBQ and patio. Aahhh . . . Outdoor living and family fun in the backyard go hand-in-hand. It may

be as simple as Mom or Dad enjoying a book while the kids play in the sandbox. Or the whole family may enjoy a game of croquet or badminton, both of which are inexpensive to set up in the backyard and allow for a wide range of ages and abilities. And of course, what would summer be without a barbeque and/or firepit? (Please check for burn restrictions before inviting your pals though.) A few hotdogs, some marshmallows and good weather is all you need for

an informal get together with family and friends on a warm evening. A picnic lunch is a great way to enjoy a lovely day. Planning a healthy lunch that kids will eat can sometimes be a challenge, but spread a blanket on the grass and suddenly even picky eaters will munch on carrot sticks, cucumber rounds and cherry tomatoes. Some healthy sandwiches, some cheese, and for dessert some cut-up fruit with a yoghurt dip

and you are good to go. Raining? So what? As long as it is warm, send kids out in raingear to splash in the puddles or in bathing suits to dance in the rain. Have towels and dry clothes ready at the door for when they come in Do you have a little patch of ground

that could become a kids’ garden? Work with them to prepare the soil and plant the seeds or seedlings to grow their favourites, be it tomatoes or pansies.

and outdoor settings reduce stress, anxiety and depression. “Kids experience tremendous stress reduction from even a little contact with nature,” says Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods . . . and so do adults.

The health benefits of outdoor activity have been shown by scientific study after scientific study. Beyond the benefits of physical activity in helping to control obesity, boost the immune system, diminish the risk of disease and increase life expectancy, taking it outdoors adds additional benefits in the areas of mental health and quality of life. Natural settings rejuvenate and calm the mind, improve outlook and increase positive affect. Outdoor time can even help you focus; 2009 research in the “Journal of Attention Disorders” shows that 20-minute walks through natural settings lead to improved concentration. Both physical activity

IN THE GARDEN SLOW FLOWERS & FAST WEEDS “Sweet flowers are slow and the weeds make haste.” ~ William Shakespeare. Isn’t that the truth! The dandelions are in full bloom before it’s time to plant the garden! However, thanks to the blessing of the life giving rain, things are beginning to move in the right direction and with a good pair of gardening gloves and a warm jacket quite a lot of work can be

done. The most important things to do, now that most perennials have surfaced are to gather up last year’s faded foliage; the Iris will certainly start to rot if this is not done pronto, with slugs and Iris borers having a field day, any rotting rhizomes should be cut out of a clump, this is easily done with secateurs and will not adversely affect this year’s blooming;

indeed there will not be a bloom if it is neglected. Daylilies will be full of dead stuff, which can usually be gently pulled from the clump, enabling sunlight and air flow to encourage blossoms. Oriental Poppies, Monkshood, Globe Thistles and the like are generally given a good start when old stalks are pulled or cut away. Another key job is to visit the Rose bushes and cut back any discoloured or diseased parts along with any dead looking and ancient canes; radical as this may seem, you will see a new and vigorous spurt of life that will pay dividends in size and abundance of blooms. Talking of canes, any of last year’s fruit bearing canes left in the Blackberry or Raspberry patch need to be cut down at ground level before they are any older, yield and ease of picking fruit later in the season will be greatly enhanced. All of the perennial goodies will be encouraged to produce on an amazing level if they are fed with a good mixture of compost and well rotted manure; if you are not endowed with a generous farmer for a son-in-law as I am, then you might have to purchase the manure and there’s plenty of choice of conveniently bagged, composted sheep or cow… jolly good stuff, but powerful, a little goes a long way and too much will produce oodles of foliage but very little product. The full moon that will shine it’s cold rays on May 21 should herald a major planting, though not without some concern. We have had frosts with the presence of the full moon in June, but by now, after the cool spring, it will be almost impossible to resist getting things in the ground. However, when planting from the greenhouse, plants need to be hardened off before exposure to the ravages of wind and strong sunshine; placing them outside in a sheltered spot for increasing time spans over a few days will enable them to withstand the shock of finally fending for themselves.

FAMILY MATTERS “A” IS FOR APPLE Lessons from the grocery store - while grocery shopping with children can be stressful, there are ways of turning this regular outing into an opportunity for interaction, conversation and learning! Here are some ideas to get you started. 1. Letters and Spelling. Recognizing letters and words on food packaging can help kids with their reading skills. Playing eye spy and asking child(ren) to find a picture or word (like ‘sale’) can be make your trip educational and fun. 2. Writing Practice. Write a shopping list together and have your kiddos cross off items as you collect them. Making a list is an excellent way to introduce kids to vocabulary related to shopping and get writing practice. Draw attention to items like a ‘dozen eggs’ and a ‘litre of milk’ to emphasize math concepts. 3. Money. Money is a tricky concept to teach kids without hands on

experience. When children see you buy food, budget, handle money and use bank cards they build their knowledge about money. Let older children develop independence by helping handle the money and change. 4. Social Skill Development. Grocery shopping helps kids learn social skills. The supermarket is a great place to experience and practice social skills such as waiting your turn, being respectful to others, speaking politely and asking for help. 5. Food Education. Taking children shopping gives them an opportunity to see and learn about a wider variety of foods than just what comes home with you. It’s a great opportunity to talk about healthy foods, where food comes from and how food is prepared. For older children, they can learn about reading food labels and advertising. Before you go out though, it is helpful to have a plan. Firstly, know when not

to go. Don’t take the kids when you or them are tired, hungry, or in a hurry. Secondly, avoid busy times or when you have a long grocery list and have your list ready before you go. Lastly, set clear limits on how to behave. If your child likes to grab things off the shelves give him something to hold and ask him to describe it. If sitting in the cart is too much try giving your kiddo her own small cart or basket to walk around with. This week make a routine trip to the grocery store a little less stressful and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006 Anita Hofmann Occupational Therapist

There are many opportunities to intervene when we see or hear behaviours that promote sexual violence. Take a stand. Learn about sexual violence and find out what you can do about it. Staying silent or ignoring a violent or potentially violent situation sends the message that we endorse what the aggressor is doing. Speak up. When you see something that is degrading, offensive or abusive, stop the behaviour by naming it. Use “I” statements to let the person know how you feel or why the behaviour is inappropriate. For example, “That’s an offensive stereotype. I don’t think that’s funny.” Intervene. You don’t have to get angry or physically violent to confront abusive behaviour. Say something like “I’m not just going to sit here and watch this happen without saying anything.” Provide an opportunity for someone who is feeling cornered to slip away. Involve others in challenging the situation. Avoid being a knight in shining armor. Intervening as a bystander or an ally is different than “rescuing”. Approach the

ASK THE CHEF IN A STEW Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week I was asked about how to get darker colour in a stew without using bullion cubes. Bullion and other bases often contain MSG. A stew is one of those things that most maritime households make. Every family has a different method to making stew, but the main ingredients are usually; onions, root vegetables, potatoes and sometimes doughboys or dumplings. Stews can be made with any meat (beef, pork, poultry, lamb or rabbit) and the tougher the better. Why tough meat? Because it was tough, the meat would not breakdown, allowing us to get those big chunks but not have to chew forever. The method of how you cook each ingredient will improve the flavours and texture of your stew. Once you have everything cut and ready to go, put your pot on the stove, add oil and turn it up on high. Once the oil begins to smoke, carefully add your beef, but do not stir. Allow your beef a chance to brown

(caramelization), sealing in the juices of the meat. After a few minutes, stir the meat and allow to caramelize for a few more minutes; you will see the meat getting really brown and leaving some dark colours behind. When the meat is good and sealed, add a cup of water and begin to scrape the bottom of the pot. This will bring up all that flavour and dark colour; instead of water, you can add red wine. Wine acts almost like soap and makes it easier to get all that colours off the bottom of the pan. It will also reduce, creating a great flavour and adding more to the colour. Once all the colour is off the bottom of the pot, add your onions and garlic, which will begin to sweat and caramelize. Add the rest of your root vegetables, except potatoes, and add enough water to just covers what is in the pot; cook for one hour; then add your potatoes, herbs and seasonings and more water to cover. Allow to simmer for as long as you want. An hour before you are ready to serve, add a thickening agent to pull your stew together.

So why add your potatoes later? Your root vegetables have sugars and you want to bring out those flavours. Potatoes are starchy and you want a good base before adding starch. Why wait until an hour out for a thickening agent? If you add it too soon, it could burn on the bottom, ruining your flavour or it could get too thick and you have to thin it down, again ruining flavour. Look for some upcoming articles on thickening agents, doughboys and dumplings. Until next time, cheers. See Colin’s full article at ossekeag.ca. 0041

MORE THAN FITNESS FITNESS FOR YOUR MENTAL WELL BEING While everyone knows that regular exercise is good for the body, many of us don’t realize just how good it can be for our mental health as well. One of my favorite quotes is: “You are just one workout away from a good mood!” It may sound crazy, but it is so true! On those days that we just can’t seem to get out of our own way and find it hard to drag ourselves off the couch to lace up our sneakers, a round of exercise may be just what we need to turn our day around. In addition to the many physical benefits we achieve through exercise, regular activity can also have a major impact on our mental health by helping to relieve stress, improve memory, improve our quality of sleep and boost our overall mood. It can also help to reduce the effects of depression and anxiety. When we exercise, positive endorphins are released into the body which boost the mood and make us feel happier.

While the effects of stress can cause our muscles to become tense and lead to stiffness, headaches and fatigue, physical activity helps to relax the muscles and relieve tension throughout the body. By getting in our recommended 30 minutes of daily activity each and every day, we can not only improve our physical health but also begin to combat the negative effects of stress and start to lighten our mood. Remember that if you are just getting started, every little bit counts. If you do not have the time or energy to complete a long workout, bear in mind that you can begin with just a few minutes. If you are feeling worn out and stressed, getting outside and taking a 15 minute walk can be all that you need to increase your energy levels and lift your mood. Take advantage of opportunities you have throughout your day to squeeze in even a few minutes of exercise when you can and your body and mind will thank you.

By making time for regular physical activity in your daily routine, not only will you feel healthier and stronger, you will find that your memory gets sharper, you feel better about yourself, begin to sleep better, have increased energy levels and overall just feel more vibrant. So if the physical benefits of exercise are not enough to entice you into starting a new routine, hopefully these important benefits to the mind will be the motivation you need to get you started! 0044

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS Thanks are extended to our many volunteers and generous donors, these are hard times, the cost of food is escalating at a frightening speed; it has always been near to impossible for our clients to afford fresh fruit and vegetables… today it really is impossible... so we are especially thankful to learn that our supporters at the Community Gardens are again putting in extra plots to provide garden produce for our clients. The gardeners there could always use a hand with the weeding and maintenance, there are tools on hand, so feel free to join these wonderful and savvy gardeners, you could learn a lot and be greatly blessed! 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: 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 (preparation is done the day before). 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, May 18 from 8:00 to 10:00am. Clients will be served on Thursday, May 19 from 8:30am11:00am. We ask that clients not smoke on Church property, if you need to, please do so in your vehicle.

Planning Ahead The best time to begin making your prearrangements is now, while you’re thinking about it. By taking the time now to collect the information and calmly make choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at an extremely emotional time. This ensures you plenty of time to carefully choose the items you want and need. Today more and more individuals are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before, because of such factors as inﬂation, fewer family members living close by and peace of mind.

EMERGENCY MEASURES WHAT TO TAKE? What do these four things have in common? Kraft single cheese slices, samurai sword, winter boots and winter clothes. These were some of the items grabbed in haste, as individuals evacuated the Fort McMurray fire. ‘I didn’t know what to take” said one evacuee. “Why the cheese slices? I have no idea.” Faced with an emergency, individuals will react in a way that, upon additional reflection, baffles their mind. I have also reacted in the same way, before I had my training on emergency response. Now I have a plan on what goes first if forced to evacuate. Barb, then the cat, important papers such as identification, passport, mortgage, insurance and additional medical supplies to augment those in the truck. I have electronic copies of all the important papers and additional copies at my sisters, who lives in

another City. Family photographs have been scanned and saved to the cloud. Over 1600 homes have been destroyed in the fire. Insurance will replace them and the contents but can you remember all the items that are in each of your rooms? Items in the closet, basement and attic? Instead of making a list of all the items, take digital pictures of each room. Go to the centre of the room and take the shots of each side of the room. If you have furniture with drawers, open them and take a picture. Repeat until all the rooms in the house, garage and out-buildings are completed. Save them to the cloud or copy the files and send them to someone you trust outside of the area. Research has proven that, when presented with a photo, we will remember more details of the items. This will also assist you with the insurance company when placing a

claim to replace lost items. So, take the time to list the five things you want to take with you. You know where they are and you can fit them all in your vehicle. I hope that we will never be faced with an emergency as severe as the Fort McMurray fire. By planning ahead you can “Be Prepared... Not Scared.” 0039

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS A few weeks ago, Bev Harrison returned from a trip to Piggs Peak. As the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership’s student liaison, Bev’s focus was on the students we are supporting. Although we are paying school fees for 134 students, many of these still do not have Starfish sponsors in Hampton. Bev visited both our schools and, with the help of our local partner, Linda Mathunjwa, met with all the Hampton students and gathered letters for their sponsors at home. Bev says “I had the opportunity to explain to all of our students, in some detail, the Hampton Piggs Peak partnership program. I talked about our town, our relationship with Piggs Peak, and what the starfish sponsorship is all about. I was able to leave with each student material about Hampton, a Hampton bookmark and a Hampton pin to give them a sense of belonging.” Bev also had the opportunity to teach a few classes at the schools, including one that was studying Apartheid in South Africa. Bev says, “I enjoyed bringing into the discussion my belief in universal equality, the compassion we should feel for one another as brothers and sisters living

half a world apart, and of the importance of human rights, which we could discuss from the African perspective.” Bev visited with the homesteads of some of our past and present students. He remarked that the families have pride in their homes, no matter how humble, and happily show you what they have, no matter how little. “They welcomed me and responded, with a smile, to my questions and interest in how they live and what they do.” One of the mothers told him “We are very grateful to honour the Canadian partnership family. We are very thankful for the help you give to all the students. If it wasn’t for you, many kids will not be in school.” This was translated by her oldest son, Thokozani. Bev met with some of the Piggs Peak town councillors and also Chief Gija, the leader of a nearby village. Chief Gija wanted to convey these words: “On behalf of the Swazi nation, we are so glad to be chosen, because there are so many African countries you could have helped. On what you are doing for us, God will double what you receive. Not only helping the students, but it helps the country. Educating everybody is the only key to open the country to the first

world.” It’s wonderful that Hampton’s involvement in Swaziland is being appreciated but, as long as some students don’t have Hampton sponsors, we still have work to do. If you are interested in the Starfish program or have any questions, contact me, Mark Bettle at: bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca. 0010

HAMPTON HISTORY VICTORIA DAY 1. With the Victoria Day weekend approaching in a few days, this column will deal with that holiday. Did you know that Queen Victoria’s daughter (fourth daughter), HRH Princess Louise (actually Louisa Caroline Alberta), once visited Hampton? [Sir John Douglas Sutherland Campbell, Marquis of Lorne, 9th Duke of Argyll (commonly called Lord Lorne) was married to the Princess March 21, 1871. He was appointed the fourth Governor-General of Canada October 7, 1878 and was sworn into office in Halifax on Monday, November 25, 1878 after arriving by boat. He had been appointed at the age of 33, thus becoming Canada’s youngest Governor-General; his term of office was 1878-1883. After service in Canada Lord Lorne (August 6, 1845-May 2, 1914) and the Princess (March 18, 1848 - December 3, 1939) returned to Great Britain.] (FDGK) [It may be of interest to note that to commemorate the arrival of the couple in Halifax in 1878 a “green slag dish was manufactured by Soweroy Glass Works in England”; the Kings County Museum, Hampton has one of these in its collection.] (FDGK) [On Tuesday, August 5 1897 Lord Lorne and HRH Princess Louise stopped in Hampton for a brief time they arrived about 11:25 a.m. and they stayed for ten minutes. The Vice-Regal train consisted of four cars. The press of the day (DS, August 7, 1879) stated,

in part: As the train slowed up at the station and the Vice-Regal party stepped forth, a beautiful spectacle greeted their eyes. The air was radiant with the perfume of sweet flowers, the choicest products of the numerous gardens, for which the shiretown of Kings is famed. A double arch had been erected on the station platform, enclosing a dias of semicircular form. The principal arch, about 25 feet high, bore the words “Louise” and “Lorne” in crimson cloth letters raised on a ground of white swansdown. This was surmounted by a large eagle with a pair of anthers for a rest, and below these fishing rods and snow-shoes crossed; all resting on a green background. The base was decorated, 5 feet high, with white water lilies and the inner sweep of the circle with flowers. From the top of the arch floated flags on staffs and the whole was surrounded with a row of flower pots, the pots being halden [means “held”] by hemlock, studded at regular intervals with bouquets. A smaller arch, to the rear, bore the word “Welcome.” Garlands of flowers were turned around the pillars, and though the display was not a lavish one, not a flaw could be seen to mar the effect. The effect was heightened by the dias and the approaches from the cars being covered with crimson cloth, while on the dias stood two crimson upholstered chairs. The residents of Hampton had worked with good will and the expressions of delight that fell from the lips of the

Princess and Marquis were their fitting reward. [It should be noted that a number of Sunday School children were at the rear of the platform and ten girls dressed in white sang the “National Anthem” (“God Save the Queen” - Queen Victoria). A handsome bouquet was presented to the Princess, and then the Governor-General spoke on behalf of himself and his wife. He asked that the director of the children’s choir might be presented to the Vice-Regal couple. (The director was Mrs. Allan Travis.) The couple then returned to the train and as it pulled away “three cheers were given, the National Anthem was sung and bouquets of flowers were thrown at the train.”] [Lord Lorne, in 1877, under the name John D. Campbell, took the book of Psalms and wrote them in verse form. The one for which Canadians remember him the most was based on Psalm 121, verses 1 and 2. The words fit the tune “Sandon” which had been written in 1857 by Charles H. Purday. In former years the hymn, rarely heard today, was often used at Remembrance Day services and in church services. Campbell’s hymn is “Unto the Hills Around Do I Lift Up”.] (FDGK) CODE: KCR Kings County Record (published in Sussex); DS The Daily Sun (published in Saint John); FDGK Files of David G.

MUSINGS HOW’S RETIREMENT? Are you enjoying your retirement? Do you miss working? Over the past several months since my Musings stopped appearing like clockwork I have answered various versions of this question with a smile and a “Oh, I’m still working. The final paperwork hasn’t been signed and I am staying on for the transition.” As you know (well, those few of you who may have read Mike’s Ravings), the final paperwork isn’t getting signed. The deal was called off and I am back in the driver’s seat instead of the support role of the last few months. I got the news via email on a Thursday noon, press day! I was, to say the least, totally stunned; perhaps I shouldn’t have been, given the months of delays, but I was. A couple of deep breaths and I immediately told the staff in the office and then called the sales reps who were out on the road. Deadlines don’t disappear just because the s#!t hits

the fan and the staff (who had equally been dealt a body blow) carried on and sent two pubs to press on time. What an amazing crew we have! Should the worst happen and we close the doors, I can with total confidence give every one of them the highest recommendation to anyone considering hiring them. I hope that is not the outcome, but what the future looks like is still murky at this point. We will keep you posted. Okay, time to lighten up. I know volunteer week has come and gone, but I want to say a thank you to all those in our communities who spend countless hours (and often their own money) volunteering. One of our granddaughters is in Girl Guides this year and I am so impressed at the work the leaders are doing. Last night I attended a baby shower that they organized in support of First Steps. If you are not familiar with First Steps, they are “a multi-service

centre for pregnant and parenting young women”. From housing to schooling to on-going support, they are there for young women and their babies. Thanks to the efforts of the volunteers at the Hampton Guide troop they got a little support themselves, the guiders learned some skills at organizing an event and more importantly can feel part of the volunteering effort themselves. Great idea, great event and Well Done! “You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give.” ~ Winston Churchill. 0001
