For nearly 50 years now, I have been a not so proud taxpayer, forking over extra dough because of my sins. You know... those items that we the public have decided are legal, but not something that we want available cheaply. The biggies of course are alcohol and tobacco products, and every purchaser of those products pays an especially high markup because these products while legal, are not good for us. I have little doubt that sin taxes can be readily justified, since the use and abuse of these products must place a high cost to our health care system and even policing. A problem arises, however, if we look at the individual who drinks a single glass of wine every day as they are likely improving their health, while the person drinking six glasses every day is likely harming their health. So is it fair to charge someone a “sin tax” when perhaps they aren’t “sinning”?? After much thought... and a flip of a coin... I say sure. While not perfect, we are unlikely to make it any fairer. Mostly because the majority of us are sinners!! Today, our healthcare system is facing two major challenges. One, a rapidly aging population. This is one I am having difficulty applying a sin tax towards. Maybe 5 cents for every hour you breathe????? But the next challenge is a major upswing in population obesity that will drive a whole range of healthcare issues and medical services. Now, I as much of anybody love potato chips and hickory sticks and have been known to eat 800 calories worth of this stuff in one sitting. It feels just about as

good as smoking and drinking, and the long-term health consequences are just about as bad. Which is why my regularity of indulging has become less and less. Foods (maybe better called products) which are high in fat, calories and salt and offer no significant nutritional value, should now be declared “sinful” and subject to a higher rate of taxation (that is directed towards preventative health care such as free exercise programs). While debate will erupt over many products as to exactly how sinful they are, I believe there are a number of products that are dead simple to target: regular soda pop, potato chips and most of their cousins. Hickory sticks will be exempt because hickory is just good for you. Oh!! Okay, hickory sticks are a big bad sin, too!! While, I have heard that some feel this may disadvantage the poor who are considered high consumers of these products, does it really make sense to buy fairly expensive products (soda pop instead of water) and get no nutritional value whatsoever for your money. The time has come to recognize that certain products are damaging our health (when abused) and as such should legitimately be taxed in the same manner as alcohol and tobacco. 0002

ROYAL CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC GOLD MEDAL

Magnus with Conservatory Gold Medal

Hampton resident, Magnus LaBillois, 13, recently won a Gold Medal for scoring the top mark in Atlantic Canada on the Level 3 Guitar examination. Magnus received the award on Saturday, October 29 at a public ceremony in Halifax at Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts. He studies The Royal Conservatory's curriculum through Peter MacDonald, who lives in Cambridge Narrows. Regional Gold Medals are awarded each academic year (September 1 to August 31) to Conservatory examination candidates in Preparatory A and B and Grades 1 to 10 who achieve the highest mark in their respective province or designated region. Eligible candidates must score at least 80% on their practical examination and must have completed the co-requisite theory examinations for their respective grade and discipline. Gold Medal ceremonies are held annually in cities across Canada, often in conjunction with Convocation ceremonies, to recognize students’ achievements and acknowledge the contributions of their teachers. 4300

FOOD BASKET NEWS We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill. As always, we are grateful for the many folk who assist us in this outreach, most particularly when we receive blessings from our young people; the students at Hampton Middle School filled a truck with all sorts of items that not only will feed our clients, but provide many other essential products that are required for healthy living. The students at Hampton High delivered an impressive assortment of food; the result of their Halloween event. We are not only thankful, but also very proud of our youth and their efforts on behalf of those in need; BRAVO!!! Our resources are such that we can only provide each family with a substantial supply of food once a month; we are open only on the third Thursday of every month between 8:30 and 11:00am (preparation is done the day before). Clients who are unable to come on the designated day will need to assign a friend or relative to pick up their order for them, bringing their medicare number and a note confirming the arrangement. The next preparation day will be on Wednesday, November 16 from 8:00 until 10:00am. Clients will be served on Thursday, November 17 from 8:30 until 11:00am. We ask that clients not smoke on Church property, if you need to, please do so in your vehicle. A good number of our clients need help just at Christmas, if clients do not need help in November, they can register for Christmas by phoning Betty at 832-7526. In the spring of this year we were forced to reduce the amount of food that the clients received, escalating food prices and an increase in the numbers requiring help, left us no option. In light of this we are urging our supporters to give food or funds, so that we might increase the amount of food that we give; our goal is to provide gifts for any child of school age or below, and to put more edibles into the boxes to ease the burden of

The Hampton Herald

the constantly growing cost of groceries. All funds received will be acknowledged with an income tax receipt in the New Year. Cheques will be gladly received by our Treasurer, Hampton Food Basket, 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton E5N 5B4. Our Christmas Boxes will be assembled on Wednesday, December 21. Preparation will occur on Tuesday, December 20. More details will be in the next Hampton Herald. We are in need of warm coats and boots but ask that other clothes be held until after Christmas due to a shortage of space (new clothing that would be suitable for gifts, of course, would be welcome). Christmas trees and decorations would be most appreciated for the November client day (November 16). There are clients in need of the following items; one fridge; two electric stoves; one couch set; one play pen and one large back pack, if you can help with any of these, please call Janice at 832-4340. For other information: Janice 832-4340; David 6448476; Louise 832-5303; Betty 832-7526. The Canada Helps web site is being generously used to our benefit and we sincerely thank all those who are helping in this way; even small monthly donations enable us to better serve those in need. This system is easy to access and tax receipts are received in the New Year. Search for “Hampton Food Basket Canada Helps” and the process is simple (should you wish to stop the donations the process is easy and immediate). If the idea of a monthly donation via internet does not appeal to you, cheques can be sent to our treasurer. Our hearts will be gladdened, the poor will be overjoyed and I daresay that God, in his Heaven will recognize that something is right with His world! “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me”. 0029

TALES FROM THE CAMERA BAG MAKING B&W IMAGES Seated behind my hand-crafted oak desk, in my dimly lit studio I gaze out my window only to see the wind and rain peeling the colour off the trees; this had me thinking of black and white photography. Many think that good B&W images are easy to create. But, nothing could be further from the truth. I once read that if you shoot a colour portrait you shoot their clothes, if shoot a black and white image you photograph their souls. What do we look for to create a dynamic B&W image? Shoot in RAW. I realize that many readers only shoot jpeg because their cameras can’t shoot RAW or that they have no desire to do any post processing. However, if you have the option to, shoot RAW; many cameras will also allow you to shoot RAW and jpeg - bingo best of both worlds. For post processing I am a Lightroom user and like using a free program from Google's Nik software called Silver EFex pro. The things you can do with

this program will have you playing for days as you discover it potential. Keeping in mind that composition is always King, look for: Contrast- it seems like bad weather is great for B&W, white storm clouds over dark, shadowed landscapes. Ansel Adams devised a 10-point contrast scale where on one end was pure white, on the other was pure black and eight points of gray in between. Look for these tones in your next image, as the contrast will be dynamic and the grays in between beautiful; Lines -we now look at the components of good composition. Leading lines, like looking along a railway track as it disappears into the horizon. Or, a tree lined lane leading to the barn; Shapes and Patterns -as literal as wheels on the bus or conceptual like an arial view of plowed fields creating a visual quilt of shapes and patterns; Texture -texture is especially accentuated when side lit. It can be from top, bottom or from either side, but not frontlit. Ever notice the gritty

portraits of people who live outdoors. The image maker will often shoot with dramatic lighting that will emphasize the wrinkles of life on the model’s faces. To help you see in black and white take one image in colour, then switch to scene mode and B&W and take the same image. Notice how your eyes moves to different parts of the image vs colour. Also look through a red coloured lens. Shoot- PrintShare. Edited for space, see full article at: ossekeag. ca. 0032

The family of the late

Margaret (Jackson) Keirstead would like to thank all who expressed sympathy, sent cards or flowers, made memorial donations, visited us at the hospital and our homes, brought food, attended the reception at the Belleisle Community Centre and performed other acts of kindness. Thank you to Rev. Chris VanBuskirk and Rev. Alden Crain for your support while Margaret was a patient in the ICU and for the beautiful funeral service. Thanks to Theresa Hickman for your gift of music, Michelle Keys for the touching eulogy, and Jack Carpenter & Mark Marr for looking after the grave. Special thanks to Harry & Donalda Storey and Holly Lackie for helping with the horses and allowing us to once again use the Storey carriage to take Margaret for her final ride. Thank you to Cathy Morrell, Dawn Perry, Shawney McLean, and Sharlene Jackson for bringing us meals at the hospital, and Vicky Keirstead for visiting and sitting with us each day. Thank you to all those who organized and catered the reception at the Belleisle Community Centre. A special thanks to those anonymous individuals who paid the rental fee for the Centre. Thank you to Daryl McKiel and Linda Belyea for staying with Bertha and to all the others who have been there for her. To the Doctors, Nurses and Staff of the Saint John Regional Hospital Emergency, Cardiac and Intensive Care Units, we have nothing but praise for the care Margaret received and the kindness shown to our family. Thank you to Sherwood’s Funeral Home, Norton for your compassion and professionalism. We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support we’ve received from our neighbours, friends and co-workers. These few words of thanks seem immensely inadequate. God bless you all. In appreciation, a donation has been made to the Belleisle Home & School Association Bursary Fund in Margaret’s memory.

Lovingly missed by wife Vivian, son Wayne, daughter Sandy and Families

Anglican Parish of Kingston

When God was making husbands As far as I can see, He made a special soulmate Especially for me.

He was someone I could talk to That no one can replace, He was someone I could laugh with Till tears ran down my face.

He made a perfect gentleman, Compassionate and kind, With more love and affection Than you could ever wish to find.

The next time that we meet Will be at heaven’s door, When I see you standing there I won’t cry anymore.

He gave my darling husband A heart of solid gold, He gave me wonderful memories Only my heart could hold,

I will put my arms around you And kiss your smiling face, Then the pieces of my broken heart Will fall back into place.

MISS YOU SO MUCH (author unknown)

ALL MY LOVE - JUDY

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS Our Partnership committee member, Bev Harrison, is filling his days in Piggs Peak by checking in on our gogos (grandmothers); meeting our current Starfish students; interviewing potential new students; and discussing various issues with the head teachers and deputies of the schools in the area. One valuable role that Bev plays is ensuring that our funds get to precisely where they are intended to go. We have no reason to think that they don’t, but there is no substitute for a first-hand review. Bev reports that “our program is on a solid foundation, and is well controlled by us.” As a charitable organization, the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is unique in that 100% of the funds donated go toward the causes we are supporting. Furthermore, we are not a big corporation that has lost its connection with the people it is helping; our assistance is at the grassroots level. We make sure that all the assistance we provide is based upon a pull from there rather than a push from here. Bev writes from Piggs Peak that “We are held in high esteem here. They have great respect for what we do and how we do

PCHS Students with Bev Harrison it. They like our hands on approach and the schools always make room for our students even if enrollment is high. They know they can count on us to keep our financial commitment to the kids. We are also respected for our compassion and our sincere interest in the kids and the details of their lives. When I feel we need to be sure, I often visit the homesteads if I can get at least part way by car.” While it is great to have Bev visit Piggs Peak, we are also very fortunate to have Linda Mathunjwa working there on our behalf. For most of the year, he acts as our eyes and ears and checks in on our students when it isn’t possible for someone like Bev to do so personally. I am very pleased to say that there are

plans underway to have Linda visit Hampton in January of next year. At the very least, this will give our committee an opportunity to have important conversations about what the issues are in Piggs Peak from a Swazi perspective. We will also be able to get feedback about what we are doing that is working, and what we could be doing better. Ideally, we will provide a similar opportunity for a wider group in Hampton to hear what Linda has to say.

OBITUARIES MARGARET JEAN KEIRSTEAD

The death of Margaret Jean Keirstead, Midland, occurred October 10th, 2016 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Margaret was born January 9th, 1963, the daughter of Bertha L. (Jones) and the late John Y. Jackson of McDonald’s Point. She grew up on the farm her grandparents settled when they emigrated from Scotland in 1931, in a house filled with fosterchildren, family and friends. Margaret graduated from Belleisle Regional High School as Valedictorian in 1981 and NBCC Saint John in 1984. On October 19th, 1991 Margaret married Richard B. Keirstead and together they had son Garrett (Taylor McLean) and daughter Lauren. Besides her husband, mother and children, Margaret is survived by brothers John (Beth) Jackson, McDonald’s Point; Paul (Heather) Lockhart, Joliff ’s Brook; Robert (Melissa) Noel, Jeffries Corner; several other fostersiblings; parents-in-law John & Helen Keirstead, Norton; brothers-in-law

Reg and John (Vicky) Keirstead; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and co-workers. Margaret worked for J.D. Irving Ltd. as a Data Analyst at the Sussex Tree Nursery until the birth of Lauren in January 1995. She then cared for children in her home. In July 2001 she became a Customer Service Representative for Service New Brunswick in Sussex. In 2008 Margaret transferred to the Hampton office and currently held the position of Deputy Registrar of Deeds and Land Titles for the Province of NB. While her children were young Margaret taught Sunday School at Trinity Anglican, Springfield and Kings Kirk United, Belleisle Creek and was a ready volunteer during their participation in 4-H. This past summer she fulfilled a life-long dream of connecting with her Scottish roots by visiting the farm where her father was born in Hawksland, Lanarkshire and meeting several cousins in Edinburgh. A private funeral service was held on October 14th, 2016 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Parish of Wickham, Carpenter conducted by Rev. Chris VanBuskirk and assisted by Rev. Alden Crain. Organist Theresa Hickman sang “How Great Thou Art”, “In the Garden” and “Consider the Lilies”. The eulogy was given by longtime friend Michelle (Gillespie) Keys. Margaret’s brother John, husband and children carried her ashes from the church by horse and carriage - the same carriage in which she left the church following her wedding 25 years earlier - for interment at Day’s

Point Cemetery. Pallbearers were her children, Garrett and Lauren. A public reception celebrating Margaret’s life was held on October 16th at the Belleisle Community Centre, Springfield. In addition to the family flowers, other arrangements were received from Ceylon & Rick Reicker; John & Elaine Perry; Ron, Karen & Family; Ontario Aunts, Uncles & Cousins; Keirstead Family; SNB Saint John; Kings County Historical & Archival Society; Michelle, Kevin & Coralie; Patty McEwen; Eva Goldsworthy; Lauren’s AVC classmates Meg, Berdien & Emily; Linda Belyea and Family. Memorial donations were made to NB Heart & Stroke; Kidney Foundation; MS Society; Midland, Riverbank, Day’s Point and Bayview Cemeteries; Midland Baptist, Central Wickham Baptist, Tabernacle Baptist, St. Paul’s Anglican, St. Mark’s Anglican, St. Andrews United, Hampton United and Kings Kirk United Churches; Canadian Diabetes Association; NB Retired Teachers Association (Bathurst Branch) Scholarship Fund; Belleisle Home & School Association Bursary Fund; Terry McDonald Scholarship Fund; Gideon Bibles; Canadian Bible Society; Extra-Mural (Sussex); Sussex Area Community Foundation; IWK Foundation; Hampton Food Basket. Arrangements were entrusted to the care of Sherwood’s Funeral Home, Norton. Several floral arrangements were received as well as memorial donations to numerous 0007 charitable organizations.

attractive. That part of Main Street, along the Station square is greatly improved by the brilliant light from the stores. Messrs. Barnes, Donald and Smith, have introduced the more modern and effective system of lighting. Some other stores and a number of private residents are also to fall into line and will have suitable Victoria Acetylene plants put in.” (KCR, Nov. 8, 1904) [Acetylene lighting came to Hampton in the early 1900s, but it would be two decades before hydro would come to the area.] 3. “A class for French conversation has been started at the station with Mr. Stephen Ritchie as teacher. The class which numbers about thirty meets Thursday evening at the residence of E. L. Whittaker. At the last meeting Thursday evening Mr. George Bain entertained the members with some French readings.” (KCN, Nov. 26, 1896)

Attention Residents served by: Regional Service Commission 8 Solid Waste

Please note that we are currently remaining with our Blue/Green bag recycling program. If you currently use blue and green bags for waste disposal, please continue to do so! The Blue/Green Program was introduced to our service area in 2001, as a way to reduce the amount of waste going into the landﬁll. Residents were very receptive to this program and compliance was excellent. By 2006, all Municipalities and unincorporated areas in our region were mandatory Blue/Green. The ﬁrst Commission in the Province to have the entire region mandatory Blue/Green!

So what happens to your Residential Waste?

The Blue/Green program separates household waste into 2 categories. Blue waste consists of recyclables and non-recyclable material, such as: bottles, packaging, clothing, paper, plastics, etc. Green waste is mostly compostable materials but also includes soiled and sanitary items, for example: meat, bones, table scraps, diapers, vegetable peels, etc. Once you place your blue and green bags curbside, your garbage hauler collects the bags and brings them to the RSC 8 Transfer Station (54 McLeod Drive, Sussex) where they are then separated and loaded into the designated Blue and Green trailers. Once full, these trailers are transported to the Southeast Regional Service Commission Landfill Facility (Eco360) in Moncton. Blue bags are emptied onto the recycling plant floor and green bags are unloaded in the composting plant. Blue waste goes through a number of sorting stations where recyclable items, such as cardboard, plastics, glass and metal are removed from the waste stream. The rejected and unrecyclable material is directed to trailers for disposal in the landfill cell. Green waste, after being mechanically opened, is sent through a screen to collect rejected material. Organic material falls through and is passed under a magnet to remove any metal.

Why is it so important to properly sort out residential waste?

The less contamination, the less that goes to landﬁll, which is not only better for the environment but also helps to keep disposal costs down. When we know better, we do better. We have lots of sort lists and other educational brochures you can have, drop by our ofﬁce, check out our website: www.rsc8.ca/solid-waste and Facebook: Regional Service Commission 8 or give us a call: 432-7530 if you have any questions!

4. “Dr. F. H. Wetmore had a rather narrow escape from serious injury one morning recently. While driving out of the alley leading from his barn to Railway Ave., the Doctor’s spirited driving horse, Kipling, shied abruptly from a heap of brush lying near, bringing the carriage into a sudden collision with the walls of a building opposite, and throwing the Doctor violently from the carriage to the ground. The horse then bolted across the square to the Post Office, leaving a wrecked carriage at the foot of one of the large trees near the railway track. The Doctor fortunately escaped with no greater injury than a few slight scratches.” (KCR, N0v. 17, 1905) 5. “William V. Beatty, an employee of the G. and G. Flewwelling Mfg. Co., was seriously injured at the Company’s Mills at Hampton on Saturday. Mr. Beatty was engaged in oiling some machinery which was in motion, when his clothing became entangled in some manner with a set screw projecting from a revolving shaft, pulling him from the ladder on which he stood, and throwing him a number of times against the ceiling, and also against some lumber which was piled near. As soon as possible the machinery was stopped, and the injured man freed and taken to his home, where Drs. Warneford and Smith attended him. The doctors reported Mr. Beatty severely bruised and shaken up, but no bones were found to be broken. At this writing the injured man is reported slightly improved.” (KCR, Nov. 24, 1905)” CODE: KCR Kings County Record (published in Sussex); KCN Kings County News (published in Hampton). 0031

ASK THE CHEF POUTINE - CANADIAN, EH? Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week it is me asking the question. Why is Poutine considered Canada's contribution to the culinary world? What is poutine? Where did it come from and why is this associated with Canada? Poutine started is Quebec back in the 1950’s. Many communities take credit for inventing poutine but no one place has been given this credit. Poutine is french fries topped with cheese curds and drowned in brown gravy. Many places have given their own twist on this dish, but that is the original poutine. In recent years, as this dish has become more popular, cooks and chefs have begun adding different and exotic ingredients to their Poutine. Examples are Lobster Poutine with chunks of lobster strong cheese and lobster sauce. Pulled Pork Poutine or Foie Gras Poutine. Taking a simple recipe which

was served outside bars or in pubs and making it hote cuisine. So where did this come from? The Acadian french created a dish called poutine rappee. This was shredded potato which was then wrapped around ham and cheese and formed back into what looked like a peeled potato. This was then cooked in chicken stock and served as a meal. Perhaps this is where it all started but it was someone taking a traditional Acadian dish and turning it into something with similar components to keep the name. So why is this considered Canada’s contribution to the culinary world? Well because most everyone has tried this dish at some point and often when people visit Canada they are encouraged to have some. As mentioned, this started in Quebec in the 50’s, but only started showing up around different parts of Canada - 70’s in Ontario, the 80’s in the Maritimes and as people moved west for

jobs, took this dish with them and now you can find it all across Canada, but only in the northern parts of the States. You would be hard pressed to find this dish in other parts of the world. This is not to say that eventually, the rest of the world will catch on, put their own twist on this dish and still call it Poutine. Just like pizza started in Italy and has taken on many different shapes and sizes, one day poutine will be everywhere and when asked who invented it, the answer will be Canada. 0040

Did you Know? If you have a property that will be unoccupied for more than a month, your home insurance policy may not cover you. Vacant properties are often managed by people taking responsibility for the estate or aﬀairs of another person or while a property is awaiting sale, it may just be the fact that the insured has left to work away from home. Many wrongly assume that there existing home insurance policy would provide adequate protection should something go wrong

Standard home insurance is insufficient because most policies state that your property must not be unoccupied for more than 30 days. If it is, it’s likely the policy will be invalidated and any claim rejected. If an existing insurer does agree to cover an empty home, it will only be for a short period of time, usually no more than three months. However, it is possible to get coverage from a specialty market which will cover the property for a longer period of time. This type of policy can be for 3,6 or 12 months and will provide the property owners with liability as well as offering protection against vandalism and break-ins, theft from garages and other outbuildings, as well as, water leaks, fire and smoke. It is important to contact your broker if your property becomes vacant, so that proper coverage can be put into place.

LISTEN IN focus on continuing that great work and not worry about raising funds to be able to do so. Which is why I do what I do? These shows are fun, everyone has a great time, the line-ups are awesome and every single cent goes to KV Outreach. Last year we raised over $10,000.” James went on to tell me why he felt it was important to keep the event going this year. “I wasn't sure that I would have time to do one this year; then a wonderful strong woman came up to me in the street and grabbed my hand and thanked me and said numerous lovely things. I had no idea what she was talking about and then she explained she had been helped, saved, re-housed by KV Outreach and had been told that the money from last year's show did that. I sat in my car and cried for about half an hour. Then I went home and started planning this year’s show.” I asked James what was the catalyst behind his own reasons for organizing the event? “I have been bullied my entire life.

KV OUTREACH CHRISTMAS Local Saint John comedian, James Mullinger, has been hosting his Christmas Variety Show in support of KV Outreach for a few years now. It has been an astounding success with other local comedians and musicians on the “star studded” bill. Events like these can really help people, and that is where KV Outreach comes in as such a vital part of our community – “To combat domestic violence in the Kennebecasis Valley.” In a nutshell, “KVO can help you if you are in trouble and be a compass to find your way back to a happier, safer, stable and healthier life environment. They partner with local agencies that can assist you with your individual needs. I asked event organizer James Mullinger about the event and KVO. “Thanks to KV Outreach and the awareness around the incredible work they do, more people are definitely coming forward and lives are being saved. They should be able to

still have nightmares about things that happened to me.” This is certainly an event and community organization worth supporting.

MUSINGS CARBON, METHANE AND YOU I don’t know if any of you had the opportunity to watch Leonardo DiCaprio's recently released documentary on climate change, Before the Flood, but is excellent. It is extremely well-done, scarey but also optimistic, creating a sense of urgency that we must act, but we still have time to reverse the trend. And who is driving this dramatic change in our climate? Us! For those of us “of a certain age” we have enough years behind us to be able to see huge differences in our current world versus that of our childhood. Fifty years ago, a three-bedroom home averaged 1200 square feet. Today it is close to 2000 square feet. A smaller home uses fewer resources and less energy to build, has lower heating and cooling needs, and needs fewer furnishings (all which chew up resources to manufacture). We have added more bathrooms, games rooms full of technology and bigger garages to house a fleet of family vehicles and toys. At the same time our family size has shrunk. The average household in 1971 was 3.7 people; in 2011 it was 2.5. More space and more “stuff ”! And most of that “stuff ”`is

considered disposable. We don't fix, we toss and replace. The consequence? Look out your window and see for yourself. Extreme weather, flooding, power outages. And the smaller things too. In just that 7 years since moving into our new (smaller) home I seen a dramatic decrease in the number of birds around my birdfeeders. When we walk the woodlot (which is nearly daily) the woods have become much quieter. Scientists tell us we may have lost almost half the songbirds that I enjoyed in a childhood just 50 years ago. Climate change is not the only cause, but light pollution and high-rise buildings are big factors in the decline. What can we do? We are way past the simple solution of changing out our light bulbs for LEDs, but there are things we can do. One thing that I had never heard elsewhere, eat less beef. We have all heard the jokes about cows and methane gas. I was not aware that the methane’s negative effect on the climate is 23 times higher than that of CO2. Every cow releases about 100kg of methane a year, the equivalent of

burning 1000 liters of gas. If your car uses 8 liters of gas per 100 km, that would be the equivalent of driving 12,500 km per cow. Eat less beef and you will reduce the greenhouse gases. On the bigger picture, support carbon tax initiatives. I am no fan of paying more in taxes, but I am a fan of leaving a healthy planet for my grandchildren to enjoy. We need to reduce our consumption, and like the “sin” taxes Mike speaks of, we need to curb our over the top use of nonrenewable resources. When taxes go up, consumption goes down. Since doing it voluntarily has not worked, we need more drastic measures. 0001
