The Hampton Herald
Growing up, I didn’t display many maternal instincts. I had “career Barbie” long before it was fashionable. My Barbie was a lawyer or a doctor or a pilot… she was always well dressed and I spent a great deal of time styling hair and deciding which briefcase best fit the career of the day. My sister on the other hand was very maternal. She had a set of “quint” dolls and generously offered to share the babies with me so that my Barbie could also be a mom but I declined. So while my Barbie was off being professional, my sister’s Barbie was home being domestic. The same pattern held true when playing dolls, My Little Pony or a myriad of other games all little girls play. As adults I embraced my career. I liked knowing what my daily schedule would be, knowing that I would be able to dress in pretty clothes, style my hair, do my nails, and experiment with makeup. I enjoyed the challenge posed by working with tight deadlines and the thrill of contributing to a “win” for my employer’s clients. The little rush that I would get when I found that elusive bit of case law, the missing piece of a puzzle that could mean the difference between a common-law spouse receiving a fair division of assets or losing everything served as a natural high for me. My sister on the other hand is known as “mother nature”. She is now a mom of four boys, a step-mom to an adult son and a grandmother to her stepson’s two children. She also babysits, runs a playgroup and is hoping to
re-open her pre-school in the fall. She presides over a hectic menagerie comprised one ten month old who has just learned how to pull himself up on things and has a fascination with water, one three year old who personifies every action word known to man, a seven year old who knows no fear , a ten year old taking notes on how to be a lawyer, a husband who drives long-haul truck, two large, hyperactive dogs, two slightly psychotic cats, one non-litter trained bunny, and however many hamsters happen to be in the three cages at any given time. The running joke between Becca and her husband is that they “are one pony away from a hobby farm”. Despite our differences, my sister and I have always been incredibly close (with the exception of our teen years when we both loved and hated each other at any given time). We can talk about anything and everything, although when it comes to our different lifestyles we often tell the other-“I don’t know how you do it”. 0001

Millstream Pastoral Charge SMALL BUT MIGHTYCOMMUNITY OUTREACH AT TEA TIME The Millstream is a small Pastoral Charge in Saint John Presbytery (Maritime Conference) with four preaching points, comprised of Wesley United, Berwick (1845); Carsonville-Headof-Millstream United, Carsonville (1855), Woodland United, Peasonville (formerly a Presbyterian church Woodland joined the charge in 1955); and Lower Millstream United, Lower Millstream (1888). A fifth church, Mount Hebron United, Mount Hebron (1886) is no longer an active preaching point but remains an important part of the charge. Reverend Pam Reidpath has served the charge since 2013; a retired school teacher of 30 years she enjoys the community and sense of belonging found in rural ministry. For the Millstream Pastoral Charge, this sense of community extends to their tremendous outreach efforts which include many causes both local and international. A partial list includes school breakfast programs, food banks/ clothing depots, contribution towards the cost of a new walk-in cooler at the Salvation Army, Canada Food Grains Bank, relief organizations, medical foundations, local needs, and fostering a child through Plan Canada. Funds to support the Outreach budget come from various fundraising events, UCW groups’ givings, and projects that support the general budget for the Charge such as a “Goods and Services” auction, take-home lasagna, and a strawberry festival. They also include such activities as special designation of the collection on Christmas Eve; an “Easter Egg” fundraiser where individuals fill plastic eggs placed in egg cartons with loose change; and a “penny jar” for loose change kept at the back of each church that is
collected towards supporting a foster child. Outreach activities that do not involve money but demonstrate the spirit of this Charge include “candy cane bombing” vehicles in parking lots around town as random acts of Christmas kindness; taking spare Christmas cooking, pickles and other homemade goods to a soup kitchen; visiting and delivering cookies to local households; and hosting a blanket ceremony to begin learning about the history of Indigenous Peoples. For Canada 150 the congregation filled 150 bags throughout the year with hygiene essentials and some warm items (hats, scarves, mittens, gloves), which were delivered and distributed to clients at a soup kitchen in November or December. This year, Carsonville-Head-ofMillstream will be holding their third annual Mother’s Day Tea on Saturday, May 12 at the Millstream Recreation Center; a day to “come and share”, all women in the community are welcome to stop by for a cup of tea and good conversation, compliments of the ladies of the UCW. Held in appreciate of the community, the ladies serve a proper tea complete with tea pots and china plates; china cups and saucers brought from their own homes. Sweets and sandwiches are also served by the ladies. This year has a 1920’s theme and the ladies are looking forward to dressing as “flappers” during tea service. The men and women of the Millstream Pastoral Charge believe in small, local acts of giving and outreach that reach many people and make a real difference in the world, made by dedicated individuals working 0051 together one day at a time.

FAMILY MATTERS LIFE AS A BALANCING ACT Life balance is an important concept in occupational therapy. Occupational therapists have much to contribute when speaking with parents and families about life balance and wellbeing. Many parents know that a balanced life is a healthier one but how do parents begin to teach their children about it? Here are some suggestions built around self-care, school, leisure activities and social engagement. Exercise and Sleep. Speak to your kiddos about your walk, run or swim, and get them involved even if you aren’t doing the activity together. Talk about how it’s great for your body to be physically active. Related to exercise is sleep. Teach your children that all our bodies need time to rest. Keep predictable bedtime routines and refer to bedtime as the time to recharge our batteries - for healthy bodies and minds. Time Management. Time management is a skill that can be done together. Educate your children about time
management when they are completing projects, homework, chores and during play time. It will give them a sense of time and responsibility, making sure they aren’t spending too much time doing one thing or over-scheduling themselves. Time to Take Care of Self. Teaching your kids the art of setting time aside for taking care of themselves is invaluable. This will come in handy as they get older and enter the work world. Model behaviours like daily grooming, healthy meal preparation, room tidying, alone time and laundry washing. Hobbies. Encourage your children to have at least one hobby, something they can partake in between school and other activities they may be involved in. Promote their enthusiasm for that hobby by giving them time each day to enjoy it. TV Time. Complete house chores or homework before turning on the TVs or electronics. By placing priorities on tasks, you are teaching about balancing activities of daily living and down time.
If your family has fallen into the habit of watching too much TV, create a new yard game everyone can play outside. Play Time. Our children learn a lot through play so setting time aside for play is crucial when teaching life balance. Play games as a family, as part of a sports team and in unstructured ways. Being a parent means making sure your kids’ activities are balanced, fun and promote well-being. This month, find new ways to establish life balance as a family and enjoy 0006 the parenting journey.

GREEN MEADOWS, SPECIAL CARE HOMES: “WHERE LIFE IS BETTER” For Chris and Amanda Smith of Lower Millstream, New Brunswick, family is one of life’s greatest treasures. The parents of three children between the ages of 12 and 7, Chris and Amanda also own and operate Green Meadows Special Care Home in Lower Millstream. Although the Smiths purchased the home in October, 2017, they have been operating Green Meadows for almost 15 years; throughout that time ensuring that the residents of the home feel like they are part of a larger family where they are treated with the utmost respect, dignity and compassion. When Belleisle Creek Manor closed, the Smiths felt it was a shame to see the residents forced to leave their home and

the staff out of work; believing they could make a difference, Chris and Amanda decided to expand, purchasing the manor as well as a third care home, Berwick Place on May 1, 2018. In addition to offering care for 16 mental health clients at Green Meadows, the Smiths are now able to provide a home to 30 seniors. They also employ approximately 30 staff members between the three homes, including former staff members from Belleisle Creek Manor, one of whom has been working at the home since it first opened in 1996. While the staff provide nutritious, home cooked meals and round the clock care, residents are encouraged to maintain as much independence as possible; the

LIVE WELL BULLYING IN THE WORKPLACE - PART ONE One definition of workplace bullying states that it: is a persistent pattern of mistreatment from others in the workplace that causes either physical or emotional harm. It can include such tactics as verbal, non-verbal, psychological, physical abuse and humiliation. When the bullying involves a group of individuals targeting an individual or individuals, it is called mobbing. The leader—manager, coworker, or subordinate—rallies others to engage in verbal and nonverbal aggression, personal attacks, social ostracism, isolation, humiliation, rumor, innuendo, and so on with the goal of getting rid of the targeted individual. Women are more likely to be bullied than men; according to the Workplace Bullying Institute, women represented 57% of reported cases. Men, it was noted, are more likely to engage in aggressive bullying behavior. Cyberbullying, using the telephone or internet with the intent to shame, ridicule, or harm another, is a relatively new form of bullying brought to public attention

by the shocking news of teen suicides attributed to peer cyberbullying. According to psychologist Dr. Sophie Henshaw, mobbing is ‘bullying on steroids,’ a horrifying new trend where a bully enlists co-workers to collude in a relentless campaign of psychological terror against a helpless target. She also stated that at least 30% of bullying is mobbing with a rising tendency. Fear of becoming a target causes many individuals to support bullying behavior. An Australian study, claims that for every reported case as many as eight to 20 cases go unreported. Certain workplace stresses can contribute to mobbing - increased financial pressure due to market demands; organizations driven by bureaucracy, such as government departments; beliefs that support bullying as personality conflicts; supervisors and managers lacking skills to deal with mobbing and bullying; values not centered on caring for others. Witnesses of bullying or harassment who turn a blind eye are guilty of perpetuating the problem because if
nothing changes, nothing changes, and the bullies move on to the next target. What can you do if you are the target of mobbing; first, practice good self-care and get out as soon as possible; document everything in case you decide to take legal action in the future; take the time you need to sort out future plans, and this could include having your doctor prescribe stress leave; find a therapist to help develop coping strategies, a lawyer who can advise of legal recourse, family physician who is informed of the work situation, supportive family and friends; practice good self-care; find activities that help diminish stress— exercise, creative pursuits like painting or coloring; try to find joy in every day or reasons to smile. 0008 Judy Urquhart MSW, RSW Gentle Path, Executive Director

LAWTON, Paulyne With celebration of a life well lived, the family of Paulyne Lawton, age 88, announces her passing which occurred on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Silverdale, England, on February 7, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Sidney and Helen (McKenney) Lawton. Paulyne was a former member of the Canadian Society of Medical Laboratory Technologists; NB Nurses Association; Saint John Naturalists Club; and was a charter member of Saint John Outdoor Enthusiasts Club. She was also a retired instructor from NB Community College in Medical Laboratory Technology Program. Paulyne was an avid reader, and was well read in many
books, especially those written by New Brunswick authors. Always on the go, she golfed, hiked, kayaked, canoed, skied and swam even into her eighties. She was a strong believer in conservation of nature and outdoors, and knew every bird, flower and waterfall in New Brunswick. Paulyne is survived by her three nephews and their families: Donald Lawton of Gander, NL, Steven Lawton of Ottawa, ON, and Richard Wilson of Montreal, QC; sister-in-law, Phyllis Lawton; as well as many friends. Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral Home 1063 Main Street, Hampton, NB. A Memorial Service was held on Monday, April 30, 2018 at 11:00am from St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 486 Kennebecasis River Rd, Hampton, NB. Interment took place at St. Paul’s Anglican Cemetery.

THE REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES Everyone loves a good superhero movie. They send people to the theatre by the masses and generate insane levels of income at the box office. We seem to be obsessed with the concept of inhuman abilities and science fiction fighting; the double life led by the superhero to keep their everyday identities safe from the general public. The fandom of these heroes and the world of fantasy that they live in is simply unparalleled; t-shirts, hoodies, probably even socks are available for purchase and showcase the loyalty one man has towards a certain superhero. Debates over which hero is the strongest, the wisest, the bravest, spark absolute
fury among the faithful, often resulting in heated arguments. It is even trickled down into school attendance, with many teachers fitting in some form of attendance questions (rather than say the boring “Here”); one of my personal favourite questions to answer is: What superpower would you like to have? People idolize these fictional characters, and likely will until the end of time. Every so often that one may wonder what it would be like to actually meet one of our famed heroes. The thing is, we already have. They are right here on this very planet, breathing the same air as us mere mortals, and have more will

MORE THAN FITNESS SLOW THE FORK DOWN Do you feeling like life is spinning out of control? That you can't seem to keep up with your daily to do list let alone take on any additional projects or even think about your health or "self-care". Well I am here to say that if you do not make time to make your health a priority, illness or burn out will soon find you and make the time for you – I know this first hand! While it may not feel like we have the time to look after our health and incorporate daily routines and rituals that will protect us in the long run, ensuring we have long and healthy lives, when it comes right down to it, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. So why is it that some people seem to be able to make the time they need to look after their health as a priority and the rest of us struggle to barely find the time to get our teeth brushed in the morning let alone incorporate any other "self-care" in to our days? It all

comes down to mindset and priorities. What will it take to shift your mindset and lead you to make you a priority? Will it take a health scare? A burn out? An illness or disease? Or are you ready today to start to make the small, incremental changes needed to get you there one little step at a time? By making small changes that you incorporate on a daily or weekly basis, you can begin to slowly but surely improve your health and your habits, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the results! While many of us focus on goals such as weight loss when we decide we should "get healthy", there are so many other factors that are so much more important that will result from the changes you implement. Reducing stress, better sleep, increased energy and the list goes on! So what small changes can you implement today to begin to shift your health to a positive
place? Here are a few examples: Slow the fork down! And I mean this both figuratively and literally. By slowing your fork down and practicing mindful eating, you will not only improve your digestion, but you will most likely end up eating less as your stomach and your brain will actually have time to communicate so you know when you are full and avoid overeating.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS You might need to buy a new world map because King Mswati III of Swaziland has declared that his nation’s official name is now the Kingdom of eSwatini. During Swaziland’s celebration of the country’s 50th Anniversary of independence from British rule, the King said “I would like to announce that Swaziland will now revert to its original name… African countries on getting independence reverted to their ancient names before they were colonized. So from now on, the country will be officially known as the Kingdom of eSwatini.” eSwatini is actually the country’s name in the native language of siSwati. The change was unexpected, but Reuters points out the country had recently begun using this traditional name at the U.N. General Assembly and at the African Union. eSwatini was the name for the region before British colonization and, in recent years, the King has used the name
during addresses to Swazi parliament. Sewell Chan of the NY Times reports that similar name reversions occurred when other African nations gained independence from colonial rule. Over the latter half of the 20th century, Nyasaland became Malawi; Rhodesia became Zimbabwe; North Rhodesia became Zambia and Bechuanaland became Botswana. In a country with the world’s highest incidence of AIDS, lowest life expectancy and where two-thirds of its people live below the poverty line, one can’t help but think there are more pressing issues in Swaziland than the name of the Kingdom. But it is also important to the people there, as it is in many African nations, to distinguish themselves from the history of British colonization and assert their independence and unique identity. This announcement from the King will not have any impact on the Hampton-
Piggs Peak Partnership; we will, of course, continue to support to our neighbours there. We will provide an education to young Swazis who would otherwise not have access to it and, in the interest of gender equality, provide extra help to the girls and women. We will also, with all due respect to the King, continue to refer to the name of the country as Swaziland… for a while, at least. A report from CNN says that, according to eSwatini’s Ministry of Home Affairs, the name change “won’t happen overnight.” The country will need to register its new name with international agencies like the United Nations and the Commonwealth of Nations. Then it will be question of how widely the new name is adopted throughout the world.

LIFE BALANCE BOOSTING YOUR MOOD With the spring weather finally upon us, you are probably starting to feel your spirits rise, and your mood elevate. However, if you are still feeling the aftermath of those winter blues, or if you simply need a pick-me-up on that gloomy Monday morning, then this column is for you! Most of us have a cell phone, and probably spend countless hours aimlessly scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. This creeping-induced social media envy, as mentioned in a previous column, can take its toll. I am here to offer a list of apps and sites that will get you using your phone in a more mindful, healthy and intentional way…with the added benefit of instantly boosting your mood. I have, in several columns, discussed the mental health benefits of meditating, and in particular apps that can help you begin your meditation journey. Apps such as Calm and
Headspace, as you may already know, are some of my favourites. Calm offers guided and unguided meditation options that range from three to 30 minutes in duration. It allows you to choose your scene and sound for your meditation session, the type of meditation you want to try and the duration. Headspace, on the other hand, aims at offering basic-level cognitive therapy, where you learn to change your negative thought patterns and consequently reduce anxiety. The app offers a wide variety of meditation options, such as beginner “how-to” guided meditation videos, to more targeted meditation videos that can help with such things as relationship building, overcoming obstacles, etc. Physical exercise is equally important to your mental health as meditation is. If joining the gym isn’t in the cards for you but you still want to gain the mood-boosting benefits of a good work out, there are countless
free online guided workouts that you can complete in the comfort of your home. As I have mentioned in a previous column, the free guided yoga Youtube channel, Yoga with Adriene, is my all-time favourite. Other popular free guided exercise sites and Youtube channels include Booyah Fitness, YogaGlo, Boho Beautiful and the BeFit channel. 0040

The real estate market was strong in the Hampton area during 2017. There were 126 Single Family homes sold at an average listing price of $200,742. The average sale price was 95% of the asking price, or $191,528. So far in 2018, things are off to a sluggish start with only 7 single-family sales in the first 2 months of the year.

or $180,250. The most expensive recorded MLSÂŽ sale in 2017 in the Hampton district was a cottage in the Belleisle Bay area, which sold for $500,000. The Hampton district, which is noted above - includes Hampton, Nauwigewauk, Titusville, Bloomfield, Norton, and the Belleisle Bay areas. The Kingston Peninsula produced 30 Single Family home sales during 2017, with an average listing price of $204,707 and the
average sale price being 94% of that figure, or $191,520. So far in 2018 there has only been one single family home sold on the Peninsula. The most expensive recorded MLSŽ sale on the Peninsula in 2017 was a home with some acreage which sold for $400,000. These trends also coincide with the sales of the entire Saint John Board’s zone, which covers between St
Stephen and Sussex. To date in 2018 there have been 249 single family home sales compared to 270 sales for the same period last year, or down by 8%. At the end of February there were 2515 active listings of singlefamily homes. With the advancing technologies and the amount of information available at your fingertips, there has been a steady decline in open house
attendance over the past few years. Not too many years ago you loaded your family into the mini-van on Sunday and went house shopping and drove from one open house to another. Now people do this whenever they want – wherever they want. Whether they are sitting in their backyard waiting for their steak to cook, or standing in line at the grocery store. People are searching homes for sale. Even with all of
the technological advancements, the need to use a REALTOR® is as strong as it ever was. It can be a stressful complicated process and a REALTOR® will help you through it. Source: All MLS® Statistics were obtained through the Saint John Real estate Boards MLS® system. Barry MacDonald

THE CRAYON BOX TAKE A CHANCE ON GREEN
The party that got back to us the earliest was the Green Party. They currently hold one seat and are hoping for some big change this September. This week I had the pleasure of interviewing John Sabine (Hampton), Ann McAllister (Rothesay), and Marilyn MerrittGray ( G a g e t o w n - Pe t i t c o d i a c ) . I started off my interview with Mr. Sabine by asking about someone who has inspired him. He responded that his mother was the most important person in his life. She had a college education, rare for a woman to have at that time. She was down-to-earth and logical and Mr. Sabine says that to him, “motherhood is the most important job in the world.” When Ms. MerrittGray was asked the same question, she told me about Alma Brooks, an elder at St. Mary’s First Nation who advocates for many causes. Ms. MerrittGray said she’s a wise, reasonable lady who is a straight-shooter. Policy-wise, the candidates agree on
many ideas, most falling under the six party principles. They all expressed a wish to focus on local food rather than importing in from far away. The term “living within our means” came up a lot, from the financial sector, to the health sector, to the environment. They are all against the spending habits of the current Liberal party, as they believe people in general should not consume more than they can safely produce. For Ms. McAllister, this means finding renewable energy sources and increasing the efficiency of our transportation system. Plus, she wants to see buildings where several different health services can be found under one roof, as she believed this would speed up waiting times for specialists. Mr. Sabine drew attention to the fact that storms made worse by climate change are costing taxpayers more and more money and that weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels would be, for him, an important
project. However, he also pointed out that change doesn’t happen overnight. Ms. Merritt-Gray desires stronger economies in our rural areas. She points out that if the rural people don’t speak up and vote, then policy will be dictated in a way that might not favour them. She also wants the government to pay more attention to our homecare sector, as she feels as though the voices of seniors have not been heard. Next time, we’ll look at the Green Party’s opinions on democracy. To be 0011 continued…
