FOOD BASKET NEWS As we are all well aware, we have endured a particularly difficult winter; the costs of heating and food have escalated and we have been forced to scale back on the amount of help that we can give to our clients. The decrease in the cost of gasoline has been a help to some, however a great many clients don’t have cars and those that do use them sparingly. Times are tough and we would appreciate any donations of dry goods or cash that could be offered. All financial donations will be recognised with an Income Tax receipt; by buying in bulk our co-ordinator Catherine is able to strike some great deals with local merchants thus stretching the dollar as far as possible. Cheques should be sent to our treasurer, 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton, E5N 5B4. Hallelujahs will resound!!! We will continue the screening process in hopes of helping clients, as well as providing data to convince Government that more help is needed. During the client days in March and April, Flo and Philippe helped clients with their tax returns and our sincere thanks are extended to them for this very useful service. The next preparation day will be on Wednesday, May 21 from 8:00-10:00am. Clients will be served on Thursday, May 22 from 8:30-11:00am. While we greatly appreciate all the food items that are so generously given, we are prevented by the rules of the NB Food Banks, to give out any outdated foods and reluctantly have to dispose of any that come our way; therefore we ask that special care be taken that donors check the best before dates prior to giving them. Thanks are extended to the many volunteer and donors that support this outreach. For Emergencies you may call Catherine 943-0158; Janice 832-4340; David 644-
8476; Louise 832-5303; Betty 832-7526. “inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me”. 0029

GET FISHING HOW DO YOU GET TO YOUR FISHING HOLE? After a very long and hard winter, warmer temperatures have finally ushered in another great fishing season. In our backyard there are countless opportunities for anglers of all ages and skill levels, and an amazing variety of adventures waiting for you to enjoy. How do you prefer to get to your favorite fishing hole; walk, paddle or drive? Loading up a backpack, grabbing a rod and hiking into the woods is how I started as a child and was one of the most influential experiences to shape who I am as an adult. Sharing this experience with my Dad gave me an appreciation and love for nature and memories I’ll never forget. We would fish along a stream or around a pond, enjoy a ‘mug up’, and often camp for the night, eventually returning home with a few trout for a family meal. Today, my personal preference is
to fish from a kayak. Fishing kayaks today are much more capable and versatile than many realize. With a high quality fishing kayak or canoe, you can carry lots of fishing and camping equipment, move along fairly quickly and even fish standing up! Kayaking is far less expensive than a motor boat, requires no maintenance or registration, is great exercise, and you can go virtually anywhere. Should you be interested in giving kayak fishing a try, look up the “Greater Saint John Kayak Anglers”, a local social group with members of all ages and experiences. Here you’ll find lots of people eager to offer advice, answer questions and of course go fishing with you! Finally, many people prefer to use a motorboat. Boats these days are amazing with lots of variety, customizations and options to choose from. Aside from the speed at which you can get to your fishing spot, they are roomy, have live wells to hold fish, places to store many
rods or other equipment and a ton of advanced electronics to help navigate the waters, find fish and even charge your cell phone! Of course, with a motorboat, you can also take the family on a joyride, water ski and explore miles and miles of the countryside by river which you could never do otherwise. Coming up on Saturday, June 20 is the Ecological Adventures Paddling Derby in Oromocto. This is a fun catch-photorelease tournament open to all paddlers and structured to put fun ahead of competition. Come out, try and catch as many species as you can, and win a great prize. One random participant will even walk away with a new fishing kayak at the end of the day! For more info visit: nbfishingderbies. com. 0044 Joe Tilley Fisherman at Large

One day a year, we offer our thanks to the woman who has spent her whole life giving us all; from kissing bruised and scrapped knees, to running us to the doctors; a true superhero in the flesh, with the strength and will of ten. No statues will be raised in her honour, no days will bear her name, there won’t be bells ringing or fireworks, but we can celebrate her all the same. For the untold hours and days she’s given.

are cliché, but I bet your mom still likes getting cards and flowers from you on Mother’s Day. She’s probably even told you what her favourite flower is at some point in your life as well. Find a nice bouquet, or get one custom made by a florist and pair it with a nice card. Don’t rely on
Hallmark to tell her how you feel. Dig deep and put some emotion in that card. Think of one nice memory the two of you made together, or a time where she helped you. Cite a few examples of how she’s helped you in your life, and how happy and thankful you are that she is your mother.
Treat Mom this Mother’s Day to a Buffet at Home or a Fresh Bouquet of Flowers!
After all it’s her day, make it as special as you can for her. The best gift we can give her, is to share and spread the love and kindness she taught us; for that is being a mother. Thanks, Mom.

HHS SCHOLARSHIP & BURSARY FOUNDATION In 1994, The Hampton High School Scholarship and Bursary Foundation was established with a goal to fund scholarships and bursaries that would help enable Hampton High students reach their educational goals. For more information on these scholarships, please visit our website at: hhsscholarshipbursaryfoundation. weebly.com. Students are also reminded that academic standing alone is not a requirement for all scholarships. The deadline for applications is May 15 and applications are available at the following website: hamptonhigh.ca or from the Guidance office at Hampton High School. We encourage all graduates to contact the committee at: hhsscholarshipfoundation@gmail.com. Here is an update from a former graduate: In 2004 Brianne Seeley graduated from Hampton High School. Furthering her education she attended Dalhousie University, completing a Bachelor of Science with a major in chemistry and a minor in math. She went on to obtain her Bachelor of Education
from UNB Fredericton and began her teaching career at Hampton High School as a math teacher. After leaving Hampton High School, Brianne spent several years teaching primarily science and math courses at Saint John High. In 2014, Brianne completed her Masters of Education in Science Curriculum & Instruction and is currently working as a science teacher at Rothesay High School. She resides on the Kingston Peninsula with her husband, Chapin White. The growth in the scholarship and bursary fund at Hampton High School reflects the value that higher education holds for our community; however, the need to enhance these awards is ongoing. Anyone wishing to donate to the award of their choosing may do so by sending cheques issued to the Hampton High School Scholarship and Bursary Foundation Inc., mailed to: 34 Elizabeth Ave Hampton NB E5N 5P7.

POINT OF vIEW MUDDY PAW PRINTS I think it was Charles Schulz, creator of the timeless Peanuts comic strip, who coined the phrase, “life is better with a dog.” If you're a huge dog lover like I am, you understand that dogs do make life better – just by being in our lives. My dog is no exception. In fact, I can't imagine my life without her in it. By dog standards, my fur baby hardly qualifies as a “real” dog. She only weighs in at a whopping 15 pounds. But, what she lacks for in size, she certainly makes up for in personality. If you don't believe me, just ask anyone who's met Molly. She's a Shih Tzu and, boy, is she cute. I can remember picking her out of the litter, thinking she appeared to be the calm and quiet one of the bunch. Well, let me tell you, looks can be deceiving. From the time we welcomed her into the McMillan household, she's been anything but! That was nine years ago, and she's still showing no signs of being either calm
or quiet. In fact, as I sit here looking at my dirty floor and her latest deposit of muddy paw prints, I think of the joy this little dog has brought into my life. There isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't make me laugh – a lot. It doesn't matter what kind of day I'm having, her unconditional love and affection can make even the worst day better. Yup, I'm not afraid to admit that my voice instantly goes into baby talk mode when I see her either “how's mama's beebee?” I can't help it, really. It just happens and I have no control over it. She looks at me with that short little muzzle and those big eyes and I just melt. We happened to choose this particular breed, because she suited our busy lifestyle best. She doesn't shed, is hypoallergenic, doesn't require a lot of exercise and is outgoing and affectionate. If I had the time and money, I'd own several dogs – both large and small. It makes me angry when I hear people say that certain dog breeds, such as pit bulls
or rottweilers, are “bad.” There is no such thing as a bad dog, only a bad dog owner. Dogs are our most loyal friends and constant companions. They don't discriminate based on gender or race. And I like to joke that, unlike people, they don't talk back. They provide us with so much, and require little in return. A loving home, food and a warm place to sleep is little to give when compared with what they give us. There are many dogs (and cats) in area shelters who are looking for their forever home. If you have the time and love to share, consider visiting a shelter and adopting a loving pet – you'll be glad you did. diane@ossekeag. ca. 0032

LSD KINGSTON KINGSTON LSD NEWS It appears as if Spring is here and I write this holding on to my chair by fear of a slap from mother nature! The very first sign of the long awaited new season is the condition of our roads. The Peninsula is not alone, it’s the same story wherever there is frost and pavement. You may recall that your Advisory Committee had a meeting scheduled for March 30 with provincial officials. Our MLA Mr. Oliver was present as well as the District Engineer, Mr. Allan Kerr. He was accompanied by Mat Sweezy, Marc Jones and Pierre Fournier. Mr. Kerr and our Committee Chair Glen Baxter led a very open and cordial discussion around ferry services, the shape of our roads and a variety of other matters. Mr. Kerr informed us that there is a major road work project planned for the Peninsula this summer. It will be on the scale of what we saw at Long Reach last year. Your Advisory Committee
would like to remind all that we need to be patient and let’s not take it out on the good folks doing the work. Short term pain for long term gain! Speaking of patience, during our meeting Mr. Kerr also spoke of our Peninsula Highway Supervisor, Brian Matthews. As it turns out, he is not ours alone! Mr. Matthews’ area of responsibility spans from the Peninsula to the Hampton LSD (Upham, Titusville “Et al”). So we really need to recognize that this very busy man has a huge territory to cover and I would suggest that this is where the word patience comes to meaning. I can tell you that your Advisory Committee was very pleased with the meeting as Mr. Kerr was eager to develop with us a communication strategy that will facilitate the flow of information between both his department and your committee for the benefit of all the residents of the entire Peninsula. Steve Gourdeau for the Kingston LSD Advisory Committee. 0042
HHS GRAD CLASS NEWS We are only a short month away from graduation and time is flying! First off, I would like to thank those who performed and attended our last Coffee House of the 2014-2015 school year. As well, thank you to our special guest, Scott Medford who was unbelievable. Also, thanks to the people who have continually showed their support by helping out and donating coffee and treats. A month into spring and the snow is melting, so the Grad Class Executive has planned a couple of events. On Thursday, May 21 there will be a Scavenger Hunt after school, and on Thursday, June 4 there will be beach volleyball and tie-dye in the courtyard. The Grad Class Executive would like to acknowledge the grads who have written the Advanced Placement Exams this week, and would like to commend them for their dedication and hard work. Good Job! May always seems like a short month so make the most out of each day and make memories that you can cherish for a lifetime. Submitted by Jimmy Lee. 0011
Thank You
The family of the late Madeline McFarland would like to thank our family and friends for their prayers, love and support shown to us during her illness and in her passing. We deeply appreciate all the generous donations of food, visits, phone calls, sympathy cards, online condolences and donations. The care and concern shown to Madeline during her illness by the Homecare workers, VON’s and Extra-Mural nurses was very much appreciated. Special thanks to the paramedics, Dr. Allaby and nurses for the quick response and attention given to Madeline when she was taken to the Emergency Room at the Sussex Health Centre. The respect and dignity shown to Madeline and her family during this difficult time by Dr. Phillips and staff of Palliative Care will never be forgotten. Arch-Deacon David Barrett, Rev. Wandlyn Snellgrove and Rev. Allen Tapley, your visits and prayers were a great comfort to our family. To those who participated in the funeral service, it was a testimony and celebration of Madeline’s life and faith. Thank you to Wallace Funeral Home for their professional care. In lieu of individual thank you notes, a donation has been made to the Sussex Health Centre in Madeline’s memory.

ASK THE CHEF HOME MADE FRIES Colin Sifton here again with an answer to your question. This week I received a question about french fries. I’ve tried to make my own homemade french fries but they never come out like ones from stores or restaurants. What am I doing wrong?
The answer is you are not doing anything wrong. You will never be able to reproduce the frozen french fries you buy in a store. The ones used in restaurants are all from the same producers as your local grocery store, they just come in a larger package. There are three major producers of french fries in North America and two are from the Maritimes - McCains

and Cavendish. They have shoestring, crinkle cut, 7/16th, skin on, skin off, crispy fry, and the list goes on and on. If you look at the ingredients on the bag you will notice it contains more than just potato, oil and salt; yet the ones you make at home are just that. All processed food contains preservatives and additives, but at home you are not going to add any of these. Some frozen french fries often have potato starch added to the outside to make the outside crispy. This is the first reason of the difference. Second reason is that restaurants always use deep fryers, cooking from frozen to done in just over a minute. Cooking in your oven or in a smaller amount of oil in a pan you can’t expect to get a similar product. Now if you do have a deep fryer and are cutting your own fries you still will not get the same product. The reason why is the potatoes you are using are raw and the frozen ones are just frozen, already cooked. Now I love home-cut fries. All I do is cut battons of potatoes, leaving the skins on. Toss in a bowl with salt, pepper and olive oil until the battons are well coated. Place on an oiled baking sheet and cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. I will check them after about 10 minutes and give them a flip. Near the end or just before eating, I will put the oven on broil at 500 degrees just to give them that final crisp for a minute or so. Sometimes I might add some herbs or cajun spice. A batton is one cm by one cm and as long as the potato. You can make them bigger or smaller if you wish. Smaller will be crispier and larger with be less. I would take home-cut fries any day over frozen store bought fries. I can pronounce everything that the fries contain and I know the items I am adding. It may seem like it takes longer, but in the end you should enjoy what you are eating and not just be satisfied. Take the time and enjoy the d i f fe re nc e. 0040

If everyone can be as
helpful as you are, our world would be much happier. I wish you all the best in life in the name of God.” We received this email from Nokuthula Tsela though our website this week. Nokuthula is an orphan who took on the role of parent to her younger sister when her mother died. When she completed primary school at the age of 14, she went to work in the clothing
Presented by RHS CLASS OF 2015 Kim Legge Noreen Russell
factories in Matsapha, hoping she could save enough to continue her schooling. On a wage of less than fifty dollars a month, she had to pay for rent and food as well as provide for her younger sister, who was still in primary school. After four years, she had saved only a few dollars - not enough to provide any hope of paying for school. When Nokuthula was 19 she came to our attention and the Partnership agreed to sponsor her school fees. She was a dedicated and hard-working student who took full advantage of the opportunity provided for her. She graduated two years ago at the age of 24 and, while waiting to be accepted to university, she took a job as housemaid at a small bed & breakfast and continued to study and upgrade her credits for university. Last year she was admitted into the University of Swaziland. It’s wonderful to hear the expressions of gratitude and blessings from Nokuthula. It is even more gratifying to hear that she is on the path to success! Nokuthula’s determination to succeed was evident from the time she first interviewed to be a Hampton Starfish student. Now, as an independent woman, she serves as a role model to the many other young women in Swaziland in their struggle to overcome the obstacles of poverty and prejudice that often hold women back in that country. Currently, Nokuthula’s younger sister, Nokubonga, is a Starfish student and promises to follow her older sister's example. Our tagline is “help, hope, and opportunity”. The Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership provides Swazi youth with the opportunity to succeed by providing you with the opportunity to help. For $300 you can sponsor a student through our Starfish Program. To do so, please visit our website: hamptonpiggspeak.ca and look for the DonateNow button. Or just contact me, Mark Bettle, at bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca or 832-0003. 0010

If they live with you they need to have their own insurance policy or be listed on your policy as a driver. If you lend your vehicle to a friend or family member, remember that anything that happens while that person is behind the wheel, your insurance company will be paying, even if that person has their own insurance policy. If by chance the driver is not obeying the laws, your insurance company can deny coverage and the driver and even you as the owner of the vehicle could be personally named in any lawsuit.

SUSSEX SPORTS WALL OF FAME The Greater Sussex Sports Wall of Fame Committee is pleased to announce the selection of two new members for induction for the year 2015. Both have contributed much to the celebration of sport in the Sussex area, and reflect both the joy of being involved, and providing great entertainment for their followers. Sussex Junior Rangers - 1949-1955 (Team): In this era, hockey in Sussex
reached new heights. The Rangers were instrumental in the building of the Kings County Stadium which they repeatedly filled to capacity by playing an exciting brand of hockey. The first Ranger team in 1949-50 won the Maritime Junior "B" Championship that was the beginning of six years of dominance in the sport. In those years, the team won three Maritime Championships and were denied two others by what was deemed as unfair rulings by the Maritime Amateur Hockey Association. As one pundit mused " .... it was literally a dynasty!
I was always amazed in those years by the great support a town with such a small population could muster to support those Junior "B" teams ..... that never failed to thrill fans with their clean, brilliant, yet aggressive play and to inspire youngsters of those years to work toward hockey excellence so that they might some day play on such teams." It is notable that even today, 60 years later, the Rangers name is alive and well in Sussex hockey circles. Doug Shippee - Builder: Hot Air ballooning has caught the imagination of thousands of people in the Sussex area over the years. Doug Shippee was one of those people who became a pilot, bought a balloon and adopted Sussex as his "home port" as he travelled around the world to various festivals and competitions. He earned his instructors credentials and trained six pilots from our region over the span of 20 years. He placed among the top ten at the Canadian Hot Air Ballooning Championship in 1990 but is most well known as the inspiration for the organization of the first Atlantic Balloon Festival in Sussex in 1985. At the invitation of Tourism NB and the cooperation of locals Art Goold, Jack Smith, Art Noiles and many other volunteers, Doug worked hard to establish our Fiesta. This year, it will celebrate its 30 anniversary, an appropriate time to honour Mr. Shippee’s contributions. The induction ceremony will be held on Wednesday, May 20 in Wesley Hall on the campus of Kingswood University. There will be a short reception for members of the Wall of Fame to meet the inductees at 6:30pm; The public is invited for 7:00pm. 3475

LISTEN IN ELTON JOHN I have recently been on a real Elton John music kick of late. My wife Cynthia told me of an old high school acquaintance of hers who’s mom, a Kennebecasis Valley resident who had once been on a date with a young Elton John. I had to find out more and looked into how this local woman met Sir Elton! I made contact with Suzanne Young over Facebook and asked her if I could get the story from her sometime and she obliged and gave me her cell phone number. Let’s cut to the chase - “I was 21 and I was in Europe. I went to Europe in March. We were in Switzerland and we were in a youth hostel. At the train station we met these two guys, sitting across from us.” Suzanne tells me about her chance encounter of meeting Elton John in Europe during the Spring of 1971. During this time John would have been in the midst of working on
his brilliant album “Madman Across The Water” that hailed the now classic hits “Levon’ and “Tiny Dancer”! Suzanne was telling me about the movie “Love Story” that they were all talking about in 70/71. If you’re not familiar with the movie it’s considered to be one the most romantic movies of all time. It starred Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal. “I had already seen the film in London.” Suzanne says of the film they saw together in Switzerland. “On the way to the theatre people were looking at him.” Suzanne elaborated on how people were reacting to seeing him. “It’s kinda a cool story”. Yes it certainly is Suzanne! When Elton John performed in Saint John in 2008 Suzanne was out of town, but he did a “Shout out” to her, friends told her. Thank you Suzanne for telling me your wonderful story! Onwards with my Elton John kick! I reached out to Caleb Quaye who was Elton’s original guitarist and was also a member (along with Reg Dwight later

known as Sir Elton John) of Long John Baldry’s backing band Bluesology. Along with Elton, Caleb has worked with Hall & Oates, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Harry Nilsson and Pete Townsend to name but a few. Who else is there, really?! Caleb has a wonderfully inspiring story of how his life changed one night for the better, so we talked about that story which is covered is his book, “A Voice Louder Than Rock & Roll” and his up-coming Documentary! Caleb was in California and I was in Kingston, NB but we still were able to do the interview face to face via Skype. Get the rest of the interview online at: ossekeag. ca/category/ listening-in. 0041

What About Monuments and Markers? Today granite stones or bronze plaques are the most common grave markers used. In times past, monuments have been made of marble, slate, or sandstone; but they proved unable to with stand weathering and are rarely used anymore. Granite comes in a variety of colors including black, gray, white, soft reds and shades in between. The beauty of the finest granite can be identified by the absence of discoloration and seams. Fine granite will have a uniformity of texture and color throughout. The flat stone marker is the least expensive maker one can buy. All stones and plaques are considered a Handcrafted product and the cost is dependent upon size, color, special boarders or designs including laser, floral vase and extras you may want. Installation of monuments and Plaques in generally included in the price. It is important you know the regulations of the cemetery before purchasing and having a monument installed.

MUSINGS INCREDIBLE SHRINKING VOCABULARY? A conversation with my Grade 3 granddaughter sent me researching the other day. At her school they have a word of the week. These are generally multisyllabic words that may not be part of the working vocabulary for many kids in Grades 3 to 5. Words such as impeccable, perturbed, malicious, placid and irk. I thought this was a cool idea, but it got me wondering what the working vocabulary of an “average” English speaker might be. Turns out this was a more complex question than it appeared. There seems to be general consensus that the English language has the most words of any language (perhaps because we have been so good at adopting words from other languages), coming in at 1 million plus. Most of us recognize only a very small fraction of these (20-30,000, although some sources cite 50,000) and use even fewer. In the course of my digging
around to satisfy my curiosity I came upon several articles on the possibility that average working vocabularies are actually decreasing. Scientists have speculated that technology may be the cause. That children’s brains are wired to learn by hearing and repeating words, which is what we do from infancy, and that the increasing amount of time spent with technology is taking away from that exposure during those critical development years. As we grow a little older and learn to read, the kids who read a lot (particularly fiction books) have a vocabulary that is double that of those who read little. Several articles took this concept beyond reading to say we are becoming “dumber”. How many phone numbers can you remember, or do you rely on the address book in your phone? Do you rely on Spellcheck or a calculator for things you used to be able to do in your head? How often do you, like me, go to Google for the answer to a question? Is this something you once knew or should know, or is it
something you would have looked up in a dictionary or encyclopedia? Technology has made our memories lazier. Are we filling up the space that used to be utilized for these mundane facts of daily living with useful but different information, or is there simply less in there? I don’t know the answer, but I encourage a healthy dose of reading on a daily basis for all, young and old! “We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” ~ Booker T. Washington “One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.” ~ Evelyn Waugh. 0002
