The Hampton Herald
The Maritime Provinces and the State of Maine are home to what is referred to as the Acadian Forest. It is a mixture of trees from the North (boreal forest) such as fir and white birch, and a more southerly tree mix such as hemlock, white pine and sugar maple. Before European settlement the Acadian Forest was dominated by the southerly trees largely because they are longer lived species and largely tolerant to high levels of shade found in a mature forest land. As our early pioneers began widespread cutting and creating relatively large gaps in the forest canopy, the boreal species gained an advantage and so today many woodlots will contain more fir than red spruce and more white birch than sugar maple or beech. Thus, we have experienced the borealization of the Acadian Forest, dominated by trees that are mostly near the end of their southern range. With the arrival of climate change, here is what we can expect to occur. First, trees that are from the north will likely suffer. We can reasonably expect that fir, spruce, jack pine, poplar (aspen) will likely die off over time and, hopefully, be replaced by more heat loving species. The western US has for several years now experienced wide ranging Sudden Aspen Decline. Recent walks around the woodlot still shows lots of fir regeneration but heat loving red maple is also proliferating throughout the property. Just a note - If your micro-climate is relatively cool, by virtue of being near the Fundy coast or on a high hilltop, the effects of climate change might be
lessened. A five degree temperature rise along the coast will likely be close to the the temperatures currently experienced in downtown Sussex or Fredericton. Along with an environment that is unfriendly to many of our trees, climate change will likely bring an increase of tree insects and disease that has been previously moderated by colder winters. Warmer winters in BC has allowed the Mountain Pine Beetle to destroy over 50% of the commercial volume of lodgepole pine in the province!! THE DANGER - Sustainable management of our forests allows healthy growing trees to absorb and capture carbon from the atmosphere, thereby alleviating the effects of the greenhouse gases that we create every day and thus slowing climate change. Should climate change cause a collapse of a significant portion of our forest, such as it has in BC, these dead trees will decay and further add to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and thereby accelerate climate change. One Canadian expert calculates that the dead lodgepole pine of BC will contribute more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than all other sources in the province combined.

OBITUARIES SCOTT, Bertram Leonard
It is with sadness that the family of Bertram Leonard Scott, of Barnesville N B , husband of Heather (Proctor) Scott announces his death which occurred on Thursday, May 12 2016 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. He was born on April 24, 1937 a son of the late Leonard and Iva (Kilpatrick) Scott. Bert lived his life to the fullest. He met the love of his life, Heather, when they were just children and went on to marry her and have a loving family of his own. Bert worked for Irving Oil before starting his own snowmobile business “Scott’s Sales and Service” in Barnesville. In 1979 he moved his family out west to start a
new adventure in Fort McMurray. From there, he was able to indulge his love for exploration crossing both Canada and the US several times and venturing to BC, Alaska, and the Yukon. He retired early to begin a new chapter of his life back home in Barnesville farming and raising his beloved Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, which he bred from Scotlane Kennels. Bert truly loved the land and had a great respect for God’s creatures, which he cared for on a daily basis. Bert is survived by his son John Scott of Vancouver BC; daughters Michelle “Shelley” Scott of Barnesville NB; Jill Scott (Leigh Emery) of Saint John NB; brother Earl Scott of Upham NB; sister Jean (Don) Shanks of Dartmouth NS; several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by infant son Jeffery, daughter Lisa and brother Wesley. He rested at Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton NB with visiting on Sunday, May 15 2016 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00pm. Funeral service, conducted by Archdeacon Robert Marsh, was held from St. Peter’s Anglican Church,

EMERGENCY MEASURES SMEACC I walked into the Emergency Measures Committee and said “Your attention please. EMO has been activated as a Hurricane is approaching!” The Deputy Fire Chief answered “Got you Brian, you did not say EXERCISE, EXERCISE”. “You’re right Deputy” I replied. “This is not an Exercise. NBEMO has sent a warning out that a Hurricane is coming our way.” The first thing that is done for a briefing at our organization is to follow the SMEACC format: Situation – Hurricane Brian is coming towards us. It will arrive within the next six hours. Winds over 120 KM/hr and rains of 100mm are expected. Mission – To prepare the Town for the impact of the storm. Ensure the citizens are informed. Execution – All departments will activate their severe weather plan (Hurricane). The EOC is open. Additions – The Loyalist City Amateur Radio Club will provide four base station
operators and six mobile Ham operators. Communications – Normal communications in place. Emergency communication systems will be deployed no later than three hours before impact. Command and Control – Normal at this time. Police, fire and department heads are to evaluate the requirement for a declaration of a state of local emergency. Council has been requested to meet in two hours for our report on this. This briefing sets in motion the emergency plan that had been developed, tested and trained on for the Town. All vehicles will be checked, fueled and made ready. Employees have been notified to prepare for their deployment to support the Emergency Operations Centre and setup the reception centre. Staff coming in on the later shifts, are being sent home and told to prepare for the Hurricane; lawn furniture and loose items stored away, extra water run in the bathtub, batteries and flashlights made ready. A number of our staff purchased the RED
CROSS Emergency Kits and we know they will have a quick start for being ready. A warning has been sent to the Emergency Alert people signed up to receive it. Prepared media releases have been sent to the radio and TV stations. Staff for the Emergency Operations Centre have started to arrive. Log books started, telephones checked, emergency generator warmed up. The first HAM operators have arrived and emergency communications have been made with NBEMO, Town Hall and the Fire Department. We are ready to support the Town and our citizens. “Be prepared – Not Scared” means we are ready to go! 0039

SEXUAL VIOLENCE KNOW HOW TO HELP It’s not easy to know what to say when someone tells you they’ve been sexually assaulted. Consider the following ways of showing support: Listen without judgment. A survivor fears they will not be believed, or that their experience will not be seen as important. Let them know you believe them. Let them know that it was the assailant’s fault - not theirs! Be patient. Let them tell their story at their own speed and in their own way. Allow them to decide when they are ready to engage in activities. Support their decisions. A survivor needs to regain control. If they seek medical assistance or plan to report, offer to go with them. Offer resources. Help them find services such as a sexual assault centre, domestic violence services or crisis lines, which can provide them with the information they need to deal with medical, legal and emotional issues related to the assault. Provide security and companionship. Help the survivor feel safe, whether they need to change locks, have security features installed or even move. Realize your own limitations. Take
time out when you need it. Recognize when you have reached the limits of your abilities. Help the survivor create a network of support and referrals. Like the survivor, you may also need a supportive listener (this should not be the survivor) to help you express your feelings and reactions. If you suspect you have been abused or assaulted, or if you just need to talk, call the Domestic Violence Outreach Coordinator at 433-6579. (Information adapted from: gnb.ca/saam). 0047

Q. Are there ways to manage my financial risk? A. Businesses that are successful take the job of
managing risk very seriously. They have a plan to achieve their goals and take actions to try to minimize the risks which could set them back or potentially bankrupt the business. Running a household for an individual is surprisingly similar. Following are some of the strategies used to manage personal risk: • Budget to live within your means. Take on large and long-term obligations cautiously, considering potential “what if” scenarios (we have to move, job changes, relationship breakup, children …) • Long-term budgets to achieve long term goals in housing, child education, retirement or travel. • Proper insurance to guard family health and assets. Is it available in changing situations ( new employer, relationship changes). • Savings and cash reserves available to deal with emergency problems or opportunities. • Prearranged borrowing which is already available to deal with unforeseen financial issues or opportunities. • Manage and improve how you are viewed by lenders by keeping up to date with your credit reports and credit score and the accuracy of the content in them. Setbacks will occur but not every business or individual will be impacted the same. Giving attention to managing risk will give you the best chance of minimizing the damage caused by these setbacks.

ASK THE CHEF EDIBLE FLOWERS Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. We had a couple in this week asking about edible flowers. They were thinking of planting some in their garden and wondered which would be good ones to plant. This made me think of a number of ideas. I thought I would share a few. There are so many edible flowers in the world, that it would take less time to list those which are not edible - roses, tulips, nasturtiums and violets, just to name a few. Edible flowers have been used for many years as a way to liven up salads or even cooked in a dish. Most blossoms are edible as they eventually become fruits or vegetables. We use to made a dish by piping salmon mousse into pumpkin blossoms and poaching it. Made for a great presentation but came with a high price. The main way that we see edible flowers is in a salad or as a garnish on
the plate. One of the most expensive edible flowers is saffron. It consists of the stigmas and styles collected from the inside of a type of crocus flower and can fetch up to $15 a gram for good saffron. Most of us do not know what to do with saffron and therefore why pay the price. Knowing from experience, real saffron has such a unique flavour and produces a one of a kind yellow colour that if you took it away from a dish, that dish would always taste incomplete. I was on Vancouver Island at a place called Sook Harbour House. They advertised that 98% of the landscape was edible and they would use these plants and flowers in every dish and decor in the Inn. Quite a unique place and a great idea, but of course they live in a different climate which makes it easier to grow so many different kinds of edibles. If you want to know if a flower is edible, just look it up on the internet
or in a book. It will surprise you how many different kinds you have growing in your backyard already. If you are having a dinner party, pick some violets and add a few pedals to your salad. Your guests will surely be impressed. Remember that just because the petals are edible, all of the flower may not be. It is important to know what part of any plant you can use and what you should be throwing out. Flower gardens are now not only pretty to look at but practical as well. 0040

We want to share some information with regard to the upcoming HST increase. On July 1, 2016 the HST rate will increase from 13% to 15% in New Brunswick and the taxes payable on funerals will rise with it. While we are not yet aware of the government’s transitional rules for the tax increase we are anticipating that, as with past increases, funeral services preplanned and prefunded between now and July 1, 2016 will not be subject to the higher rate of tax, regardless of when they are carried out.

For those who arrange a preplanned, prefunded funeral with us, and finalize a qualified funding plan, between now and June 30, 2016, we will guarantee protection against the tax increase even if the government doesn’t provide that protection. So, if you’re thinking about preplanning funeral services and want to learn more about its many benefits including how you might avoid a tax increase, please give us a call.

MICKEY:
Arrived at our Sanctuary in January 2014. He’s a lovely 2 1/2 year old medium-hair, black and white tuxedo cat with a plumed tail and the longest whiskers ever. Very regal looking with a great personality, a mutterer and one who loves his ‘creature comforts’. His coat is silky, shiny and does not ‘mat’. He loves to be brushed however. He has been neutered, vaccinated and treated for all parasites. He does enjoy the outdoors during the day, but does not go far and is always in at night and comes when summoned. Paws & Whiskers Sanctuary Inc. Email: paws@bellaliant.net www.pawssussex.ca PO Box 4816 Sussex, NB E4E 5L1 Paws and Whiskers Sanctuary Inc. is a registered non-profit charitable organization operated solely by volunteers.

LISTEN IN LET YOUR SONGS SOAR mentioned that it would be open to all ages, at that point I was committed,” Denise Foglein tells me, who is also at the helm of this new weekly event. “We only have three weeks under our belt. The opening night was not too bad, we had about six performers including myself and my daughter Dani (co-host). Week two was a little slow with only three performers and a few locals. Week three was again a decent turn-out with about six performers and about 30 listeners. Our target audience is not the travellers, but the local residents in Saint John and surrounding area. The travellers certainly stop by to listen but are typically just there during their wait.” Denise went on to tell me when asked about its initial interest from perspective performers, patrons and the weary travellers who may just stop in to listen before their flight. “If all goes well it will continue indefinitely” Denise goes on to say when I ask her how long will it run. “Our main

Every songwriter and performer needs a place to showcase his or her songs in front of an audience. It’s a great way to learn your performance chops, tell a good story, and maybe get over stage fright; as well as using it as a springboard in qualifying your craft in front of an audience of music patrons and fellow songwriters. O’Leary’s Pub in the city is a prime example of a popular and long standing “Open Mic” (Wednesdays) that has been steered by Brent Mason, one of the best songwriters in the city. I heard about an “Open Mic” happening at Connections Bistro at the Saint John Airport every Friday. Yes the airport! I thought that was a unique and unlikely venue and I was curious how it all got started. “The owner was looking for a way to boost sales during non-peak periods. He spoke to Brent Mason about hosting an open mic. Brent suggested Aaron Gunn who was too busy, so he suggested me. I was uncertain at first until it was

Saturday, June 4th Equipment Giveaways, Kids Planting Station Swamp Bear Art Chainsaw Art Demo & More! 506-633-2032 644 Rothesay Ave Halifax Seed was first established in 1866 on Halifax’s historic waterfront, as the oldest operating seed company in Canada and one of the oldest business in the Maritimes they are celebrating their 150th anniversary this June. Purchased by Fred Tregunno in May of 1925, the 4th generation of the family is now actively involved today. It wasn’t until 1958 when the first and second generation owners of Halifax Seed saw an opportunity in Saint John, New Brunswick. National Packing, a large customer of Halifax Seed decided to close; This closure left a void in the market for horticulture and farm supplies, making the perfect entry into the market. Halifax Seed opened its Saint John operation in the National Packing’s building and later moved to its current location on Rothesay Ave. The Saint John location has become one of the largest outdoor power equipment dealers in the province. Supplying major brands such as TORO, Stihl, Echo and Honda, Halifax Seed Saint John also services them all too. Along with a retail garden centre supplying plants and horticulture products Halifax Seed Saint John is the place to go to when it comes to your lawn, garden and yard. While Halifax Seed prides itself on tradition they continue to stay on the forefront of new technologies in power tools and horticulture supplies - providing homeowners and landscapers with the most efficient equipment and environmentally conscious garden products. Their business has been built on strong relationships and customer service since day one. Come celebrate Halifax Seed’s 150th year anniversary June 4th, 2016! There will be giveaways from Echo, Stihl, Toro and Honda along with a kid’s planting station and a Swamp Bear Art chainsaw art demo. Fun for the whole family!

IN THE GARDEN RENEWAL, PEACE & PLEASURE “How fair is a garden amid the toils and passions of existence”. ~Benjamin Disraeli. He certainly had a point! We are inclined to think that a garden should be a thing of perfection when in fact it should, primarily, be a source of renewal, peace and pleasure; at this time of year, when the sales of mulch seem to appear in every community, we are encouraged to think that perfection in a work free garden can easily be obtained by dumping loads of cedar mulch, thickly around every plant in the garden and then sit back and watch! How dull and how dangerous! On pathways mulch will certainly deter the growth of weeds and, if spread when the soil is very moist will help to retain moisture; however, around the plants and bushes it is far more likely to gobble up all the goodness in the soil, eventually leading to puny plantings. It provides a ritzy environment for ants, earwigs and the like to procreate like mad and stronger weeds will continue to flourish.
That being said! It is possible to use it with advantage, particularly in places that tend to dry out quickly, by applying it after a good soaking of rain; there needs to be a good six inches of bare ground around each plant which will then be dressed with a mixture of good black earth, compost and well rotted manure (the bagged type is fine). Once this is done, a wary eye needs to be on the lookout for pests that nest in the mulch and quick dispatch systems activated. The spring garden is truly a beautiful, inspiring and fulfilling sight; in order to keep the garden fresh and appealing it’s important to cut the flower stems of the spring bulbs as close to the ground as possible once they have finished blooming; the leaves need to stay on the plant since they nourish the bulb. Small weeds are germinating all over the ground and a quick raking or scrubbing around with a fork will expose their roots to the sun and with any luck, will put an
end to them; leave them for a week and they will have to be individually dug out! The lilacs are now blooming and filling the air with fragrance, to ensure the best possible performance next year, those blossoms should be cut off just as soon as the bloom has faded and the oldest branches removed at ground level; lilac send out a great many new shoots and these should be selectively cut out, too many and they will rot due to overcrowding. Remember, perfection is NOT a requirement, ENJOYMENT is the goal! Blessings. 0045

BY LAW coverage is available on your personal property policy? Often times municipal by- laws are put into place after a home is built and do not apply to existing homes but would need to be complied with should that home be rebuilt. Coverage is available on your home policy for such a circumstance. Perhaps the home is too close to the road and new by-laws would not allow you to rebuild on the same foundation, or maybe your municipality requires that you have specific trees planted street side on your front lawn. The additional cost to comply with these requirements may not be included in your current homeowners policy, but the cost to add by-law coverage is minimal and will give you peace of mind knowing that whatever requirements your municipality has set in place will be met.

NAUWIGEWAUK “CHAMP” AT ATLANTIC SEMINAR Abigail Godreau, 16, of Nauwigewauk has returned from The War Amps 2016 Atlantic Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Charlottetown. The seminar brought together child amputees from across the Atlantic provinces while also marking the 70th anniversary of The War Amps Key Tag Service. Abigail was born a right arm amputee and, as a “Champ,” is eligible to receive financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs and devices. By attending seminars, Champs and parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bullying and parenting an amputee child. “The War Amps has taught me that it is okay to be different and to not be self-conscious about my amputation. Their support means that anything is possible,” says Abigail.
The War Amps Key Tag Service was launched in 1946 so that returning war amputees could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Association’s many programs. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities, and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys. Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. Should the keys be lost, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag, or deposit them in any mailbox, and the keys will be returned to the owner by bonded courier. The War Amps receives no government grants and its programs are possible through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service. 4066

Kids everywhere are counting down the days to summer vacation. Part of the summer experience for many will be attending summer camp, whether a day camp or overnight. With the multitude of options available it can a challenge to choose. First to consider is residential
(i.e. overnight) vs day camp. Day camps are a more familiar option to most children, who have been accustomed to being away during regular weekday hours, first at daycare and later at school. There is a huge variety of day camps available, catering to everything from sport training to computer coding to exploring arts, music and science. Work
with your child to narrow down the choices and come up with the best options. According to Wikipedia: “The practice of running residential holidays for children away from their own home seems to have originated in Appenzell in the Alps in 1876, when Pastor Bion set up holiday camps in which

Preparing for an overnight camp is a wonderful opportunity for children to become more independent, and it starts long before they actually leave for camp. Beyond the researching to find the “right” camp, there is also the process of packing. This

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS “Keep up the good work”. This is the message the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership received today; it’s similar to many we receive from people in Hampton. We know that a lot of you are very supportive of the work we do in Swaziland, allowing young people to go to school and helping grandmothers with the heavy burden they carry. These expressions of encouragement are very important to us and we are grateful to receive them. Every now and then we will also get a note asking “why are you helping people on the other side of the world? Shouldn’t we be helping local people?” The answer to that question is “yes”. Yes, we should help local people who need our assistance. But it shouldn’t be at the exclusion of people who are far away. Often, these people can’t look next door for someone to help them because they are all in the same boat – trying to survive
in devastating circumstances. The fact is we live in an affluent society and have enough to help both locals and non-locals; we don’t have to choose between them. At a recent event sponsored by the John Peters Humphrey Foundation, I heard Lee Cohen, a well-known immigration lawyer and humanitarian, say “if you were born in North America, you’ve already won the lottery.” Most of our prosperity can be attributed to the good fortune of being born on this continent. A few years ago, the Partnership decided to expand our fundraising activities by starting a 50-50 draw in Hampton. But we were also aware of the many other good causes in Hampton that are worthy of support. So we formed a 5050 committee with representatives from the Partnership and outside the Partnership as well. As a result, the Hampton 5050 shares its proceeds evenly between the Partnership
and other charities in Hampton, like the school meal programs, PRO Kids, and the Hampton Alliance for Lifelong Learning. We will soon be making a substantial donation to the Hampton Food Basket. As I write this, the Hampton 5050 pot to be won is over $2500. In order to play, you simply need to buy a tag at the Hampton Pharmasave (if you haven’t already bought one). Register the tag online or by phone and have your tag scanned at the Pharmasave for $2. The weekly draw is administered by the accounting firm, Turnbull & Kindred. It’s a fun way to support BOTH the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership and other local charities…. and maybe win a few dollars for yourself while doing so! To learn more about the 5050, visit: hampton5050.com . To learn more about the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership, like us on Facebook at: facebook.com/ hamptonpiggspeak. 0010

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG “PHEW PHEW” Thats me eating crow again. After writing an article on protecting oneself while travelling, we were robbed. Never mind, learning polite phrases, like Please and Thank you, a better idea might be "holy crap we have been robbed, call the police". Half way through our travels and revelling in the incredible landscapes of Chile we were robbed while we watched the surfers in Vina Del Mar. I knew we were in trouble when our buddy David (the master of understatement) says "we have a situation". Lots of stuff was stolen, but most importantly was Lib’s passport. To complicate things even more the embassy was closed as it was a Saturday, and to throw a little salt into the open wound, the embassy and Santiago’s downtown core was under a state of emergency as the Mapocho River had breached it's banks and was flooding the streets with mud and water. After all the weeping and wailing and getting well acquainted Chile’s national drink the Pisco Sour we had to make decisions about flight postponements, calling the hotels and car rentals people regarding our delay. The thieves stole more than our camera gear and clothing, they stole two days
of our lives. Thankfully we were able to keep our wits about us but it meant that the area we most looking forward to, the Atacama desert, would not be explored like we hoped to. What did we learn? Use an agent. Even though this was a self-drive tour we had an agent back home at Maritime Travel whom we called (often) to rearrange our schedule - a shout out to Angie! Purchase a mobile calling plan! As we soon found out the $80 plan we purchased saved us over a $1000 in charges. Although the photocopy of your passport is useless as ID, it was useful when reapplying for another one as all the information required was there. Keep your copies apart from our passport. Duh! Travel insurance? The jury is still out on this as our request for compensation is still pending. We had over $1100 CDN in additional expenses. Use your hotel safe, only bring what you absolutely need for the day and stow the rest. Barring the inconvenience, did we like Chile? Yes! We were up hours before sunrise to drive black, back country gravel roads through mountain passes to watch the sunrise ignite the three pink granite spires that are the drawing
card in the Torres del Paine National Park. Patagonia was beautiful as were its peoples. Valparaiso “Little San Francisco” is ketcky and colourful; but must be travelled without a car (take a taxi). Bring only what you need and lock the rest away, as thievery, robbery and pick-pockets have their craft perfected and they will have your stuff before you realize it. Atacama is an area that needs to be lived in, by walking the narrow adobe streets of San Pedro de Atacama, visiting the Valley Luna to witness the incredible sunsets painting volcanoes in shades of magenta gold and blues. As tempting as it is to relax in the evening enjoying a Pisco Sour, ensure that you step out and look up to see stars as you are in one of dark sky regions of the world. Chow.

HAMPTON HISTORY HAMPTON HISTORY - MAY EVENTS
1. A summary of an item in the Sackville press is given below: Dr. John P. Humphrey … McGill University, Chancellor of Day Hall, will receive the degree of Doctor of Civil Laws (honoris causa); Hon. Romeo LeBlanc … Federal Minister of Fisheries and Environment [honorary Doctor of Law degree]; Miss Ruth Humphrey … retired professor of English at the University of British Columbia [honorary Doctor of Law degree]. The degrees were conferred Monday, May 6 1977 at the Marjorie Bell Convocation Hall. John Peters Humphrey - retired, international official and university professor was born in Hampton N.B. and educated at Rothesay Collegiate, Mt. Allison University, McGill University and the University of Paris. He has received honorary degrees from the Universities of Algiers, Ottawa, St. Thomas, Dalhousie and McGill. Citations accorded Dr. Humphrey included the Jewish Congress, World Peace Through Law Centre, the Canadian Council of International Law. He received the Order of Canada for
distinguished service. Dr. Humphrey practiced law in Montreal for six years before joining the faculty at McGill University, where he served as Secretary of the Faculty of Law for 1937 to 1946 and was appointed Gale Professor of Human Rights, United Nations Secretariat from 1946-1966. He returned to McGill as professor of Law and Political Science in 1966, and was visiting professor of Law at the University of Law from 1971-72. He has held a number of distinguished offices including President of Amnesty International (Canada), vice-President of Canadian Foundation for Human Rights and was national president of the United Nations Association Canada.

KINGSTON LSD NEWS I would like to address some remaining issues that came up at our community meeting last fall: Update on Kingston Corner traffic considerations. DTI traffic department conducted a study on the corner last summer. They have concluded that the road aprons in the intersection are too wide, allowing cars to pass stopped vehicles on the inside. They are planning to add curb lines and stop lines. The Kingston LSD is concerned this may not address the visibility issue at the corner with high snow banks and vehicles parking at the store near the corner. Your LSD committee is pressing on with this issue to ensure safety for the residents. This is a very busy intersection. What are plans for ferry operations? How do we improve existing ferry service especially at the Gondola Point Crossing (maintenance, breaks etc.)? DTI advised that plans are in the works to build a new ferry that would be used for Kennebecasis Island in the summer and utilized as backup during winter months when regular scheduled Dept. of Transport five-year maintenance is required on existing ferries. We are working with DTI to improve service and movement of vehicles. DTI tells your LSD Committee that the Ferry operations reliability is running at 97%. In other news, concerns were expressed around the Hampton Leisure Services initiative and the hiring of a new Recreation Director. There was an article in the news about the fact that the Kingston LSD was joining in with other Hampton area LSDs in this initiative. Are your taxes affected? The answer is no. At this point, your LSD committee is supporting the initiative by participating in meetings and assisting with the pooling of recreation logistics and potential local projects. We did support the initiative that led to the hiring of a coordinator for a period of three years. 75% of the cost associated to this new resource is covered by the province and the rest was already covered in the allotted LSD budgets. There is no additional burden on residential taxes and our LSD chair, Mr. Glen Baxter made it very clear that the Kingston LSD would not
automatically continue support after the agreed three years. Natalie Reid is the Recreation Director and she has been very active. We encourage you to reach out to her if you have ideas or questions for recreation projects. That is what Natalie does! Her contact number is 832-6418. Lastly, it is important to note that any new item which could result in a significant increase on residential
taxes must first be supported by a vote of the residents in a given LSD - this is legislated. Steve Gourdeau for The LSD of Kingston. 0026

MUSINGS ONE AND TWO AND THREE I had great plans for the May long weekend, most of which involved gardening. I don’t have a huge garden area to maintain, but it is largely on a slope right next to our driveway. Our gravel driveway. Our gravel driveway which is cleared during the winter with a snowblower. So where do you think all that gravel ends up? Of course . . . all in my flower garden. Which means every Spring I spend hours picking out the gravel and tossing it back on the driveway. I had managed to get this under control by mid-May so the fun parts of gardening were about to begin. Bring on the long weekend! Unfortunately the best laid plans . . . On the previous weekend I developed a painful left thumb. As the weekend progressed the end of the thumb became more and more painful and began to swell and redden. So on Monday I rushed home from work to start spam calling to get an appointment with the KV after hours clinic. Success! Off I go, have it confirmed there is infection going on and come home with a prescription for antibiotics and a prognosis that I should see some improvement within 24 hours.
(That’s ONE.) After 36 hours and not only no improvement but actually seeing the infection continue to spread down the thumb, it was obvious the current course of treatment wasn’t going to do the trick. Plus when I showered there was a red line running from the thumb and up the forearm. This time it was off to the Sussex ER on Wednesday afternoon. Yep, it was spreading alright and required more drastic action. First a round of IV antibiotics, then, oh, oh, it needed to be lanced. When I cautiously asked about freezing, it was a no go. My next question was “What is going to keep my hand from flinching away when you stick in that big needle?” The reply: “You are”. Oh really!!! Then another oral antibiotic to take home with instructions to return in the morning for another round of of IV antibiotics. (That’s TWO.) Bright and early the next morning, back to Sussex ER. Upon examination everything looked to be going in the right direction. The red streaks were fading away, the soreness in the forearm had diminished and the big ugly mess
of my thumb was less swollen. Switch antibiotics again and off I go. (That’s THREE.) So, from someone who might see a doctor once every couple of years for routine maintenance, I went to seeing three doctors in four days. Frightening to think that without modern antibiotics that could have been the end of me. All because of some minor abrasion to my thumb (likely from picking gravel out of my garden) which let in some bacteria that for some reason got a foothold before my immune system was able to zap it. And since it is still a painful mess and largely unusable (although I have learned to tie my sneakers without a left thumb!) no gardening for me on the May long weekend. I am sure the weeds are happy! 0001
