Hypocrisy - “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.” (Google) You may or may not have seen Mr. Jim Irving, (co-CEO of J D Irving Limited) in various interviews defending the companies forest management practices. The easiest way to locate a couple of these interviews is to simply do a google search for “interviews with Jim Irving”. When you hear, watch or read any of the interviews, he comes across as a man who is deeply committed to doing what is right in the forest and doing no harm to the environment. So one wonders if this is a great act or if in fact he “walks the talk”. Now in one interview Mr Irving stated: “J.D. Irving has been operating a scientific research group for 15 years with six people holding doctorate degrees and a dozen graduate students hired annually for summer employment.” What he did not state was this group apparently was not consulted with at all in regard to the new harvesting plan!! According to one of the PhDs interviewed, the company will listen to them but would not follow any advice that harmed the bottom line. I would suggest, if at all possible, you view the video (episode 6) at “Is our forest really ours” (isourforestreallyours. com) but I will highlight some of the key points. The video documents clear cutting that occurs around cottages that have been built on small parcels of

crown land. Then the video takes us to a view of the Irving fishing lodge on the Restigouche River. Now according to the video producer, Charles Thériault, hundreds of acres surrounding the lodge is designated protected land. What this appears to mean is that one of the provinces leading practitioners of clear cutting and protector of our crown lands, appears to be saying that what is good enough for the rest of New Brunswickers just isn’t good enough for their family. While there is no evidence that the Irvings somehow manipulated the selection of surrounding forest to be protected, out of 3.4 million hectares of crown land, the idea that several hundred hectares was randomly selected around their lodge, does stretch one’s credibility. Reputable news agencies may wish to ask Mr Irving to clarify if their forest management policies only apply to the rest of us, but “not in my backyard”????? This would make a great investigative topic by the Telegraph Journal. We have been assured that they have editorial independence, but do they also have job security???? 0001

EMPOWERING YOURSELF

Most people delay seeking help for their hearing loss; however, most people I work with regret waiting so long to take action. Usually there is an emotional response to newfound hearing and clients are surprised at how much they were missing. The experience of our grandparents is not the same as today’s experience. Current hearing aids, when fitted properly, are a vast improvement over the cumbersome and often, obnoxious hearing aids of yesteryear. Today’s hearing aids are more sophisticated, flexible and comfortable; however, hearing aids alone do not determine a successful outcome. It is crucial that you feel comfortable with your audiologist and participate in the rehabilitation process. In our clinic, client satisfaction is most important and we recognize the value of a good working relationship. We welcome your questions and concerns and support you each step of the way. In recognition of Speech and Hearing Month as well as Mother’s Day, we are offering a FREE hearing screening and consultation for Moms. Book an appointment for your Mom by calling 847-3030.

LISTEN IN by Jeﬀ Liberty (winning!) hasn’t really sunk in. Jeff - Being in a boy band/SuperGroup is there any internal competition for popularity? Any clash of ego’s on the show with the other contestants? Kyle – “No, it’s been a pretty mutual experience for Rebel Coast. We are doing it all together is how everyone feels. I’m also pretty close friends with Electric Ave (runner up’s on the show). I talk to them all daily”. Jeff - You guys currently have only two songs/singles; “We are the Brave” and “Don’t Stop Now”. Are there plans for new recordings soon? Do you have a hand in the writing or are you just brought songs to record? Kyle – “Yes we have plans to record more. We are writing as well so we have our own input in the material along with other writers. I am very excited about our future. The Wall Street Journal just did an article on us”! (Read the article here - online.wsj.com/article/PRCO-20140413-901398.html). Kyle credits his family, friends and

LOCAL NEW POP STAR Last week I took a trip uptown to the funky candy shop the Freak Lunchbox to meet up and interview a newly christened Pop Star. The aforementioned rising star is no other than 17 year old Kyle McVea, a grade 12 student at Kennebecasis Valley High School. Kyle is the only East Coast member (the other members are all from the GTA) of the winning group Rebel Coast who were just crowned the winners of the YTV “The Next Star: Supergroup”! I first met and witnessed Kyle’s immense talents when he was a contestant and I was a judge for Saint John Idol a few years ago on the boardwalk. It just goes to show if you work hard and have raw talent anything is possible if you want it bad enough! Here is how our chat went down. Tell me about the whole experience? Kyle – Um, A lot of it didn’t really seem like it was all happening at the time. Most of it happened last summer. It’s such a surreal feeling to talk about it now. It

coaches for all their support saying, “Some friends even came to Toronto for support! It was a real tear fest” he laughs. “I couldn’t have done without them” he continues when referencing how the show’s vocal coach and dance choreographer, Sarah Morrison and Nico Archambault, helped him with his performance. It couldn’t have happened to a more talented and down to earth individual! For everything else on Rebel Coast -rebelcoastmusic.com. 0041

WHY I RELAY Florence moved to Hampton in 1974. She is married to Robert Corner, has one daughter Bobby Jo, and one granddaughter, nine-month old, Sunny. In her words: My journey with cancer began on February 1, 2010. I was dressing to take Bobby to the airporthe was going to Yellowknife for three months. I noticed my right breast was swollen and very red. I didn't mention anything to him - just let him go - I didn't tell Bobby Jo either - no need for all of us to worry. I got an appointment with Dr. Collings for February 5 - he put me on an antibiotic but made an appointment for a mammogram on February 15 ("just in case"). I had the mammogram as well as an ultrasound and a biopsy. They also made an appointment with Dr. Scarth (a surgeon) for February 26 ( just in case). I'm beginning to hate that phrase! On February 24 the biopsy report was back - CANCER. MaryAnn volunteered to be my "chauffeur" and second pair of ears until Bobby came home on March 6. Dr Scarth explained I had Inflammatory

Breast Cancer- rare & very aggressive. I would need six months of chemo, a mastectomy & 25 sessions of radiation. Now the fun began. I think I had every test in the book over the next months. That's ok… they were all necessary. I met with Dr Burnell ( oncology) and Dr Naz ( radiation) and had my pic line put in my left arm. It was my "buddy" until May 10/11. My first chemo was on March 11/10 and an injection of Neulasta on the 12 of March. Because I couldn't afford, it I was given Neuprogen - that meant I had to give myself a needle for the 10 days after every chemo treatment - after the first two - no problem. During chemo I lost my hair, my finger nails, toe nails & the feeling in my hands & feet (most have come back) & boy was I sick completely useless! Without the help of my family, friends & church family I don't know what we would have done. Finally in July 2010 I had my last chemo - now to get myself in shape for surgery which I had October 14/10. I'm a sort of wimp - I hated this! Extra Mural came in to tend the drain - no complications - drain out. Now to physio to prepare for radiation. I didn't

mind radiation at all - just very tired the 25 sessions ended on January 19/11. Sure, I have a few lingering problems but nothing to complain about. Here it is 2014 and I'm alive and kicking. I pray my cancer won't come back but if it does - would I do all this again? In a heartbeat! 2580

ASK THE CHEF FIDDLEHEADS Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to a great question while we are still waiting for spring to begin. Every spring, New Brunswickers wait for the harvest of fiddleheads. Fiddleheads are an edible fern that grow along river beds and are found all along the Saint John River Valley. These ferns are picked before they open. Once they open, they are no longer edible and this is why the season is so short. Fiddleheads are a great antioxidant and are high in fatty acids, omega 3, omega 6 and are high in iron. Fiddleheads get their name from the shape’s resemblance to head of string instruments. Cooking fiddleheads properly is very important as they can make you sick if done incorrectly. Because fiddleheads are a fern, they act as an air filter and collect toxins from the air. It is suggested that we not only boil fiddleheads once, but twice with new water. The best way to do this is to blanch your fiddleheads. This is

by Colin sifton

the process of boiling them until almost cooked, then plunging them into ice water. This will stop the cooking process, preserve the vitamins and keeping the bright green colour. To finish them, bring new water to a boil, add your blanched fiddleheads and bring them back to a boil for about a minute. Blanching your fiddleheads prior to freezing is the best way to preserve them so you can enjoy them all year round. As New Brunswickers, the most popular way to enjoy fiddleheads is to boil them, toss them in butter, salt and pepper. Here are a few other ways to enjoy them. I like to take the blanched fiddleheads and make a salad with them. Toss your fiddleheads with onions, shredded carrots, tomatoes and cucumber with an oil based dressing like Italian to create a great starter to your meal. As a vegetable, I like to take my blanched Fiddleheads and sauté them in a pan with diced onions, chopped bacon and a strong vinegar. The last way I will suggest is to make a Fiddleheads chowder. Add your Fiddleheads to a vegetable stock with onions, celery and diced potatoes. Thicken with a roux and add heavy cream.

Finish it off with some seasoning and maybe something something else to make it your own: diced chicken, diced ham, a different vegetable like parsnips or turnips. Every year at this time I like to use Fiddleheads as much as possible at Holly’s. This is one of New Brunswick’s greatest products and we will be trying to incorporate them as much as possible on our different buffets and as vegetable of the day. Stop by to see some different ways we are using them and if you have a recipe you enjoy, let us know. We are always looking for new ways to enjoy this New Brunswick treasure. 0040

HALL

BARBERSHOPPER OF THE YEAR Sea Belles' Chorus recently held a weekend music retreat with Singing Judge, Wendy McCoole in preparation for the upcoming Area 1 (Atlantic) Convention and Contest. The highlight of the final evening was the presentation of the Barbershopper of the Year Award. Each year the chorus members secretly vote on who they feel has given the most of their time and energy to promote the chorus in many different ways. The recipient of this year's Barbershopper of the Year award is Marilyn Hickman, a 29-year member of the chorus and Harmony, Incorporated. The award was presented by Margie Fife for Janet Kidd, last year's recipient of the award, who was unable to attend the celebration. "Winning Barbershopper of the Year was unbelievable for me!" stated Ms. Hickman, who has been Assistant Director for the chorus for the past 15 years. "I was very surprised as there are so many deserving girls of this award. I am truly honoured to have been chosen. It is a wonderful feeling as you are chosen from the membership. To know that you are appreciated in this way is truly awesome," added Hickman. During this weekend retreat, new Chorus officers were also installed, including Tracey Harkins, President; Debbie Sabean,Vice President; Brenda Smith, Treasurer; Charlene Richard, Secretary and Board members Margie Mazerolle, Hazel Alexander, Heather Devlin, Helen LeForte, Vangie Mofford and Jane Trites.

or the last few issues of your community magazine and on our facebook page we’ve been promoting our Mother’s Day Contest. It was a chance to tell us about your Mom, and to tell us a story about what makes her great and special to you. A number of you jumped at the oppurtunity to write to us about your Mothers. There was a common theme of Mothers who are self-sacrificing, loving, caring and kind. Each one exemplified Motherhood, some were funny, some were sorrowful, some were lighthearted and touching. We took the time to read through them all, some of them twice, and we’re genuinely touched by all the stories of caring Mothers. They exemplified why celebrating our Mothers, no matter what age we’ve grown to be, is important. Mothers are our first friend, the person we can always trust, the shoulder we can cry on, and someone who listens constantly

Celebrating 10 Years!

am writing to say that my Mom is the most caring, hardworking woman I know. She is a giver to everyone and never puts herself ahead of others. She has worked at a seniors home for over 40 years. She has taken in other kids and adults even though she had her own 3 kids to care for. She did it out of the goodness of her heart. That’s just my Mom. She took time oﬀ work to care for us when we were small. When we were school aged she always made sure there was fresh bread and hot cinnamon rolls coming out of the oven when we got oﬀ the bus. She has had some pretty tough obstacles in her life too but always finds a way to get through it and was always so positive. At age 47 she lost her best friend. Her sister passed away at the age of 45 with cancer and our Dad had a serious car accident and later on had a farm accident and lost a limb. I wish I had her strength to carry on like she does. I think Mom well deserves to have someone else cook her dinner and have a night away to enjoy and maybe relax. She works full time and then comes home to clean for another 3 or 4 hours before hitting her pillow. There’s just so much I could write down on paper about how grateful I am to have a mother that I do. I’m blessed to have her. I hope my Mom has the best Mother’s Day. I love you Mom. Hugs and Kisses from your daughter Heather. XOXO ~ Heather N. Belleisle Creek, NB

SUSSEX TOASTMASTERS An Activity That Improves Your Leadership And Public Speaking Skills: try something new this season and visit Sussex Toastmasters, a club where you “learnby-doing” and where men and women hone their leadership and speaking skills in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. There is no instructor in a toastmasters club; instead, members conduct the meetings. A typical meeting is broken into three areas: 1. Prepared speeches, where members work in a communication program manual that has a series of 10 speaking assignments designed to instill a basic foundation in public speaking. 2. Evaluations, which are the cornerstone of Toastmasters and afford the speaker immediate feedback on what members liked and identifies areas for improvement. 3. Impromptu talks or “thinking on your feet” where a member responds to various topics. Toastmaster members have the opportunity to serve as officers in various leadership roles and learn parliamentary procedure. Best of all, in Toastmasters, you can go at your own pace. Meetings are held every other Wednesday evening

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS The BYU Sinfonietta fundraiser at the Imperial Theatre was a great success, with over 500 people treated to an incredible performance by an extremely talented group of musicians. At the event, I had the opportunity to share with the audience the following email received from Karen Mandy, describing the impact the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is having in Piggs Peak. “Having a family who are all involved in music in one form or another, I was especially excited to learn of the HPPP fundraising event set for April 25. Music has the ability to unite people in a unique way, across all barriers - gender, economic, ethnic and even location. How fitting then, for this wonderful event to be used as a vehicle to raise funds for young people - living in very different circumstances to those you find yourselves in tonight - on the other side of the world.” “Pastoring a local church in Piggs Peak, with 2/3 of our congregation under the age of 25, has meant that I have had a close connection to a number of young people over the past ten years. Being a teenager brings struggles enough, but being a teenager in this part of the world brings troubles beyond what most of us should ever endure. With Swaziland

having the dubious title of highest HIV/ AIDS prevalence in the world, many of these youngsters face the death of loved ones on a regular basis. Most have only one parent and often, no parents, from a young age. Education is no luxury to these children - it is a ticket out of the poverty and suffering that they have been thrown into; but with a high school education costing, on average, at least three year’s earnings, it becomes an insurmountable mountain for many of them to climb alone.” “The funds that come to Piggs Peak from Hampton are without doubt, an answer to many prayers. Helping to provide an education to these children is giving back

hope into a hopeless situation. It is giving these young people the glimpse of a future that life has ripped from them. I feel extremely blessed to witness first hand, the difference that can be made when a small group of people, on the other side of the world, join hands and commit themselves to something bigger than themselves. It is a rare and beautiful testimony to the human spirit.” “From all of us here in Piggs Peak, thank you for your love, your support and your commitment to helping us give back a future to this generation of young Swazis. Siyabonga kakhulu (thank you very much).” 0010

GET FRESH WITH FOOD HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT: I was having a conversation with Greg Daggett, about the future and how we want to operate this business. That applies to both Kredl's and Dave's Produce Packs, I told him that my ultimate goal is to put myself out of business. I would have no

trouble finding other ways to provide for myself. Before my incredible staff disown me for that last sentence, let me tell you where I am going with this. My goal is to hopefully inspire people to grow their own food. By educating our community about the importance of having your food source close to home, the reliance on other food sources should diminish. If everyone could just grow

by Dave Wolpin

their own food or even some of it, I could relax and take a few days off ;). So how can you grow your own food? If you have even a small piece of ground that gets a respectable amount of sunlight, you first need to rip up the lawn. If you don't have that, community gardens are everywhere, so go rent a plot. It is always a good idea to scoop some dirt from all corners and the centre of the plot and take it to the co-op for a soil test. If you can't be bothered, just buy compost or well-rotted manure and mix it into the topsoil. If there isn't much, buy some top soil too. Your best value is to use a truck and buy it by the tractor scoop. You also need to add lime, which sweetens the soil and raises your PH. The ideal PH for most vegetables is between 6.5 and 7. It is an exponential scale, so 5.8 won’t do. Adding 15 pounds of lime for every 100 square feet would be a good rule of thumb. Lime takes at least six months to activate, so don't be disappointed if your first year isn't phenomenal. If your soil is really sandy, it doesn't hurt to add peat moss, but peat moss is acidic, which lowers your PH, so if you add any, add more lime too. You cannot over-lime. I strongly encourage you to avoid chemical fertilizer, which is NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). Compost is a great source of nitrogen. I also recommend pelleted chicken manure, any other well-composted manure and worm castings. These can also be applied by top-dressing or making a manure tea and pouring it around your plants. Phosphorus can be fed to your plants in the form of rock phosphate, bone meal, fish meal and wood ash from your fireplace or stove. Potassium can be accessed from K-Mag (can be bought at co-op), wood ash, greensand (I can get) and seaweed meal, which you can make yourself. Once you have concocted this harmony of dirt, you need to add to it each year and/or test your soil and just add what it calls for. Now, I will add one addendum, a very important one; read my next column to find out… 0039

Our two entries for this year are Ghosts, a social commentary on bullying, written and directed by grade 12 student Damon Gordon; and Memoria, a play about a group of high school students who study the lives of the World War I soldiers whose names appear on the Cenotaph at Veteran's Park in Hampton. This piece is partly adapted from Hampton Remembers, a volume of narratives researched and published by the HHS Modern History students of 2007-2008. Both plays will be performed for the Hampton area public on the evening of Wednesday, May 7. Admission is a free will offering and all donations will be used to offset production costs. Curtain time is 7:30pm. 2774

No words we write can ever say how much we miss you everyday. As time goes by, loneliness grows! We think of you in silence, we often speak your name. But all we have are memories, and photos in a frame. No one knows our sorrow, no one sees us weep, but the love we have for you is in our hearts forever to keep. We’ve never stopped loving you and never will. Deep inside our hearts, you are with us still. Heartaches in this world are many, but ours is worse than any. Our hearts still ache as we whisper low, “We need you and miss you so.” The things we feel so deeply are often the hardest to say, there’s a place in our hearts that no one else can fill. We love you so and always will! Love Always, Nancy Marks; Wendy, Peter Rebecca, Michael and Karleigh Smith; Ashley, Brian and Charley Howe; Gary, Wendy, Jackson, Bayton and Talon Marks

In memory of

Alex Steen who passed away

12 years ago.

In loving memory of John (Franny) Marks June 5, 1957 - May 12, 2013 Our heart aches at times knowing you are gone, but wanting you back would be wrong. Your life was short but full to the brim. Your gentle eyes and that teasing grin. You are our brother who we truly miss. We love you dearly, sealed with a kiss.

In sad and loving memory of a dear son Stephen Monahan who was so tragically taken from us seven years ago

As time unfolds another year, Memories keep you ever near. Silent thoughts of time together, Hold memories that will last forever.

They say there is a reason They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason Will change the way I feel. For no one knows the heartache That lies behind my smile. No one knows the many times I’ve broken down and cried. I want to tell you something So there won’t be any doubt; You’re so Wonderful to think of But so hard to live without. Loved and sadly missed, Mum

WELL RESTED OSA: THE “NOT SO SILENT” KILLER Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common breathing disorder of sleep. It is marked by heavy snoring,pauses in breathing, gasping for air and daytime sleepiness. Other factors in OSA include morning headaches, a large neck, being overweight and high blood pressure. There are strong associations between untreated Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular Disease. Those with untreated OSA are at greater risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and early death due cardiovascular problems. This grim outlook can be changed by having your sleep apnea diagnosed and treated. Where to start? STOP and talk to your doctor if you answer YES to any of the following: S - do you SNORE loudly? T - do you feel TIRED? O - has anyone OBSERVED you stop breathing? P - do you have high blood PRESSURE? Your doctor may decide to refer you for a sleep test either in your own home or in a sleep lab to see if your breathing is disturbing

your sleep. Some of the most common treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea include Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), weight loss and Mandibular Advancement Devices. The gold standard in treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. You may have a friend or neighbor who “sleeps with a mask on at night.” Well, that is CPAP. The mask is attached to a machine that generates an air pressure and blows it into the person’s nasal passage at night and essentially splints their throat open so that they can breathe at night the way that they do during the day. The can maintain a deep sleep instead of constantly waking themselves up through the night. This form of treatment has been shown to bring many of the Cardiovascular Risk factors into the normal range. Weight loss is effective at decreasing sleep apnea. Some folks are able to shed enough weight that the extra tissue collected in their throats shrinks enough to remove the obstruction entirely. A

by Angie Cummings smaller percentage of the population can lose weight but their anatomy is such that their throat still closes off, Mandibular Advancement Devices or MADs are oral appliances, made by your dentist or sometimes available over the counter, that change the position of your bottom jaw in relation to your top jaw. It works very well for some with mild to moderate Sleep Apnea or snoring. Others find that they get jaw pain, or that their bite gets out of alignment.

Up, Up & Away by ellen tucker WOW! A WORLD CRUISE! Have you dreamed of taking a world cruise, but dismissed the idea as beyond your financial reach? Well, you might be pleasantly surprised, because the per diem cost is often more reasonable than for shorter cruises. Most world cruises start from Southampton, UK, New York or Los Angeles, and many include airfare from your home city to the departure port, and return to your home from the last port. More cruise lines are scheduling world cruises recently, because they are increasingly popular. Crystal’s 2015 world cruise is already sold out, and they are booking for 2016. Oceania has now added a world cruise. Regent does Grand Voyages for 62, 71 and 86 nights. The most famous world cruise ships are the Cunard Queens, and each one does a World Cruise. In 2015, Cunard will commemorate the 175th anniversary of the company’s founding, and the planned global voyages will celebrate this milestone

in style. This festive time will herald several Cunard Royal Rendezvous events during the World Voyage itineraries: Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth will depart Southampton together on 10 January 2015. On 12 March 2015 Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria will meet in Sydney, Australia, and on 3 May 2015 all three Queens will return from their World Voyages to Southampton. Cunard’s 2015 World Voyages and Exotic Cruises Programs feature voyages ranging from eight to 127 days aboard Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth. Passengers will have the option to combine itineraries into and out of Sydney, Australia across two ocean liners, and to create customized World Voyage options with a land portion in between. Passengers will also have the opportunity to visit South Africa, the South Pacific, to circumnavigate Australia, and to discover the excitement of Japan and Southeast Asia. Altogether, the ships will visit 82 unique destinations in 46 countries, from major cities to less frequented locales. With four maiden calls and an enhanced

East-West loop that includes New Zealand, flagship Queen Mary 2 kicks off her exciting 113-night World Voyage from Southampton, on the way to 38 ports of call in 21 countries. For an idea of the cost, the Queen Mary 2 fares start at $21,998 for an inside stateroom, which is $195 per day. If you book as soon as the cruises are announced there are substantial discounts. If you wish to book for 2015 there are still some incentives, such as upgrades from ocean-view to balcony staterooms, and complimentary gratuities. Those are substantial benefits. So, if this has piqued your interest about a world cruise, my best advice is to book early. Cunard will soon announce their itineraries for the 2016 World Cruises. 0043

PENINSULA BR. 62 OPEN HOUSE Royal Canadian Legion Peninsula Br. 62 will be holding an Open House and reception on Friday, May 9 from 7:009:00pm in honor of our Afghanistan Veterans, their families and friends. This event is open to the general public and we would like to invite everyone to helps us recognize this milestone in our history. The Government of Canada has declared May 9 as a National Day of Honour to mark the end of our country’s military mission in Afghanistan. This will be a special celebration of Canadian patriotism. His Excellency, the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, will issue a Royal Proclamation celebrating the strength and resolve of our troops, their families and the many communities they call home. A National Ceremony will occur on Parliament Hill with Veterans of all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces and families. This will be an occasion to pay tribute to the fallen, the sacrifices of the wounded and the special burden borne by military families.

Our goal is to honour the end of a generational mission that affected almost every community in Canada. The tremendous respect our men and women in uniform have earned through their courageous efforts has been evident from coast to coast to coast. May 9 will be the culmination of these tributes and a special opportunity to salute the fallen, honour our Veterans and celebrate the strength of our country’s remarkable military families. These heroes deserve our unwavering support and everlasting respect. If you are a Veteran of Afghanistan or family member and plan to attend this event please contact Kelly Newstead at 763-3009, prior to noon on May 9 if at all possible, to allow for time to put your name on our list of recognition. 2778

Grief Support - Feelings after a loss The death of someone we love is the greatest loss any of us may endure. After the initial shock, we may feel angry, guility, abandoned, helpless and confused. These feelings may overwhelm us immediately, or the may surface after weeks, months, or years. Although we may feel devasted by our loss, we can learn to cope and grow through the grieving process.

Loss is woven into the fabric of living Grief is not an illness: it is a natural part of life. Grief is not a stable thing with a clear beginning, middle or end. It is a process that may (or may not) include anguish, fear, denial, despair, illness, sadness, and longing. You do not have to endure your pain in silence and isolation. Talking will not change your loss, but it can help make your feelings bearable. What you feel and need today may be different from yesterday, may be different tomorrow and may be different from the needs and feelings of other people.

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS We are very thankful for all the contributions of time, talent and treasures; without the wonderful community support that we receive a great many families would be experiencing severe hardship. We especially thank Flo and Philippe Gallant for their wonderful help in preparing Income Tax returns for our clients, (along with all the other help they offer). We will continue with the screening process in May and ask that clients bring proof of address and the most recent tax return with them, our hope is always to assist and be good stewards of the moneys and food that are donated to the Basket. Our experience tells us that the majority of our clients are doing an amazing job at stretching their very small incomes, we are proud of their ability to ‘make do’. Next preparation day will be on May 14, starting at 8:00am, clients will be served on May 15, from 8:30 am until 11:00am. Please note, Emergency numbers are for Emergencies only! Several clients are making a habit of skipping the client day and then calling for emergency supplies, this puts needless stress on our volunteers.

We ask that you mark your calendars for the third Thursday of every month and come on that day; if you cannot attend then please designate a friend to pick up for you, provide them with a note to authorize the pickup and a medicare number of an adult in your family. We are in need of a few items, if you are replacing appliances or furniture and have any of the following to give away, please call Janice at 832-4340, leave a message if need be and she will return your call: 2 double beds; 1 double bed frame; 1 twin mattress; 1 dresser; 1 pressure cooker. The cooking classes, that are run by the wellness group each month, are great fun and very useful; since some of the parents have small children needing to be entertained at that time, we are hoping that some people may have toys and books that can be used by the baby sitters, please call any of the emergency numbers if you can help with this. We extend our most sincere condolences to the family of Brian Ganong as they mourn the death of Don, Brian is a valued volunteer with us and we pray God’s blessing and peace upon him and the family at this sad time. Emergency numbers are: Catherine 9430158, Janice 832-4340, Debbie 832-4039 and Betty 832-7526.

PLEASE HELP KEEP HAMPTON TIDY Just like our spring weather, Hampton Communities in Bloom is also off to a slow start. We normally ask our groups to tidy up their areas during the month of April, but this April the task would have required snow shovels! So we are asking our groups to clean up their assigned areas sometime during the month of May. Your efforts year after year are very much appreciated! Hopefully the task gets easier each year as there is less litter to pick up. We are also asking Hampton residents to take a look around their own properties and tidy up the bits that the winter winds have left behind. Just pop what you collect in with your household waste. Please help Communities in Bloom keep Hampton tidy! Our goal is to have a litter free Hampton with no clean-up required! For further information please call 832 7244. 2779

MUSINGS by Debbie Hickey I’D RATHER BE A CAT A few days ago I made the difficult decision to take one of our cats on that final trip to the vet. She was sixteen, a pretty good age for a cat, and had been failing for the last few weeks. I had hoped she could go quietly in her own home, but as she grew obviously more uncomfortable it became apparent that was not going to be. She was never fond of the crate, and even less fond of the car (unlike dogs, car trips for cats are rarely something to look forward to), so it was not the way I had hoped things would end for her. When the short trip in the car looked to be less traumatic for her than the continuing discomfort she was in, the choice became obvious. She was very well treated and slipped away peacefully. A much preferred end to how it was playing out.

The debate on assisted suicide has recently been back in the news, with many good points to be made by those who are concerned for the rights and well-being of those with mental and physical challenges. For myself, though, I would far rather have the option to go as easily as did my beloved pet if the alternative is to continue in pain, confined to a hospital bed and with no hope that this is going to improve and will lead to its inevitable end anyway. If my mind is gone and I no longer recognize my family, or even myself, do I really want to continue because my body is too darn stubborn to shut down? Yes, there must be safeguards for those who cannot speak for themselves. But is it fair to those who would choose this gentle alternative to be denied that option? Those who are still well enough can perhaps find ways to end

their lives, but having access to the medications that would make it as easy as it was for my cat is unlikely under current legislation. How sad. Thanks for sharing sixteen years with us, Miss Em. “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.” ~ Robert A. Heinlein. 0002
