Is it possible to teach an old dog new tricks???? Sit Mikie, sit!! Hmmmm... doesn’t seem to work too well. I am trying to teach myself patience, especially when it comes to exercising. You see exercising is dull, boring, and unfortunately good for you. Whether, I am plodding along on the treadmill or pushing some weights, it is about as exciting as watching grass grow and without distraction your only entertainment is the unjoyful sound of your heart thumping and joints creaking. So... traditionally, once or twice every year, I hop on the treadmill and decide to whip myself into shape. Boring... let's try faster. My workouts are only 45 minutes, let’s go longer and faster. And I shouldn’t just do a cardio workout, let’s try some weights and heck why not some flexibility. So in a pretty short time, I am working out for more than 90 minutes. I also have had an irrational

motto... when tired and my butt is really dragging... why, crank up the speed. I guess my theory is, if you are running with all you got to not go flying off the treadmill, you’re just too busy and scared to feel tired. Unfortunately, a strategy that might have worked in my much younger years has for some time now just caused persistent aches and pains and finally for me to say “to heck with this foolishness” and promptly turn to my more naturally lazy ways. So where I am at now is this, at nearly 6-foot and running about 167 pounds, I have a 34” waist that 20 years ago would have been 32”. I estimate that I have at least 10 and possibly 15 pounds that was once muscle or bone... and now isn’t!! With a goal of reaching a 32” waist I know two things. One... I hate dieting, even exercising is better. And two, exercise is a long slow way to work off weight (dieting is much faster) and you need very good endurance to put in the many miles needed for exercise to show significant results. “So, Mikie, are you just dreaming or do you have a plan?” “Of course, Mikie has a plan!! Silly boy!!” Rule one is I must repeat a program three times before I can increase either speed or duration. Rule two, should I experience more than mild stiffness the following day I must go back one level. Rule three, is a summary... Mikie... “You must be patient!!” Rule 4 is “If I see no progress in my workout for two consecutive weeks, I am taking a sledgehammer to every piece of exercise equipment that we own!!” 0002

ASK THE CHEF EGGNOG Colin Sifton here again with another answer to your question. Yes, Christmas is coming and with it are Christmas parties and get togethers. One of my servers asked about eggnog, What is it and why is it a Christmas time drink. Love the question because I didn’t have an answer and needed to find out. Eggnog is a rich, chilled, sweetened, creamy dairy-based beverage traditionally made with milk and/or cream, sugar, whipped eggs. This was then mixed with some kind of spirit, depending on what region of the world you came from. Most of us being English descent, it would have been sherry that was used. Germans mixed it with beer and South Americans used mainly rum. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, nog was "a kind of strong beer brewed in East Anglia". Alternatively, nog may stem from noggin, a Middle English term for a small, carved wooden mug used to serve alcohol. However, the British drink
was also called an Egg Flip, from the practice of "flipping" (rapidly pouring) the mixture between two pitchers to mix it. This drink made it’s way across the Atlantic in the 18th century and started in Maryland. Since brandy, sherry and wine was so heavily taxed, Pilgrims used rum, as it was easier to get and that is why today, most eggnog served in this part of the world is flavoured with rum. So how can you make your own eggnog? Here is a simple recipe or you can research your own. From American Thanksgiving to the end of Christmas, commercial eggnog is produced and sold, but the rest of the year it is hard to find. For this recipe, you will need: 4 cups of milk; 5 whole cloves; 2 1/2 tsp vanilla; 1 tsp of ground cinnamon; 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg; 12 egg yolks; 1.5 cups sugar; 2.5 cups rum; 4 cups cream (35%). Add milk, cloves, vanilla and cinnamon. Place in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Combine egg yolks and sugar. Whisk
together until sugar dissolves. Whisk hot milk mixture from step one into egg mixture. Put all back into saucepan and bring it back to a simmer, stir constantly for three minutes. Strain and set to cool. Once it has cooled stir in rum, cream and nutmeg and cool over night. Or you can buy a carton from the grocery store, add rum, shake and garnish with cinnamon and nutmeg. Your choice but I think you will see a big difference. 0040

HAMPTON RURAL CEMETERY NEWS
Have you noticed at the Hampton Rural Cemetery the commemorative sign,” Field of Honour, Lest we Forget”? One day, Buster Rogers, Service Officer at the Royal Canadian Legion , Hampton Branch # 28, was standing in front of five veterans’ graves in the separated section at the entrance to The Hampton Rural Cemetery. He thought about how other cemeteries had a designated burial site named “The Field of Honour” to commemorate those who put their lives on the line to preserve the freedom which we still enjoy today. Buster decided to do what he could to have a Field of Honour established in the Hampton Rural Cemetery. With the support of the Cemetery Board, the Legion Membership and Shaw Signs the tribute sign was erected. The Hampton Rural Cemetery wishes
to thank Buster Rogers and all those responsible for their efforts in creating the sign and having it erected at the entrance to our cemetery. Our hope is that when visitors to the cemetery see the sign they will be reminded of the sacrifice so many of our men and women who served in wartime made and are still making: their safety, home life, mental health, physical capabilities and in some cases their very lives. Authentic Remembrance leads to a commitment on our part to make personal and social choices based on an appreciation for what we have inherited and a pledge to not only preserve this but to work for the betterment of all people.

HAMPTON HISTORy HAMPTON HISTORY - NOVEMBER PART III 1. “Mr. Hebert Tabor, of Lower Norton, and Miss Susie Gertrude Ganong, of Springfield, were married at the residence of the bride’s mother on Wednesday evening 15th inst. A large number of guests witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Allen Spidell, of Hampton. Miss Tabor, a cousin of the groom, was bridesmaid, the groom being supported by Arthur Ganong, a brother of the bride. The bride received a large number of beautiful gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Tabor will reside at Lower Norton.” (KCR, Nov. 24, 1905) 2. “The company owning the steamship Hampton have applied for incorporation under the name of the Kennebecasis Steamship Co. The company consists of the following named: Arnold T. Mabee, S. H. Flewwelling, R. G. Flewwelling, A. W. Hicks, R. H. Smith, Chesley Hayes, all of Hampton. A. E. Moore, J. B. Moore, and Sidney Cox, all of Westfield, Geo. H. Flewwelling, E. A. Flewwelling, both of Kingston, J. A. Barnes, of New York, Fred S. Mabee, of St. John and Mrs Myra Lee, of Kingston.” (KCR, Dec. 1, 1905) 3. The most famous incident at the Bank of Nova Scotia, when it was located at the bottom of Crawford Street (formerly Bull’s Hill), was the robbery of November 9, 1947. At the time the “bank house” was located a few feet behind the bank. [The ‘bank house” was demolished later;
it is the lot where Charles and Mary Wanamaker live today.] Mr. C. L. Flemming, manager, heard a noise in the bank during the night. RCMP in both Sussex and Saint John were notified. [I remember my classmate, Carol Flemming, the manager’s daughter, coming to school and telling us of the robbery; we were in Grade Three.] From Sussex came Corporal Grierson and Constable Gardiner. The Corporal stationed himself at the rear of the bank, and gave two warning shots. One of the robbers was shot and wounded in a get away attempt; the other two surrendered without a struggle. The fourth was waiting in a car on Everett Street; he got away. Some time later he was involved in another case and captured. Ken Robb who owned the pharmacy adjacent to the bank heard sounds from his home on Everett Street and went to investigate. He was left to guard the wounded thief, while the police took care of the others. George H. Coleman who owned the restaurant beside the drugstore, and also lived above his restaurant, kept shining a flashlight across the front of the bank while constable Gardiner approached the front of the bank. Some after effects: (a) Prior to the robbery the vault had been made of brick. It was soon replaced with reinforced steel. (b) The Hampton Station United Baptist Church
at a December 11, 1947 meeting considered moving their bonds to a Saint John bank, but owing to the inconvenience and the fact the robbers were sentenced to 8 years in Dorchester Penitentiary, they decided to continue with the Hampton bank.

KINGSTON LSD NEWS Last night, Monday November 21, 2016 your Local Service District Advisory Committee held its second Community Meeting at the Legion on the Peninsula. There was not a good turnout however, those in attendance did interact actively with the presenters. It was unfortunate that Mr. Terry Keating, the Local Service District manager was called to attend another meeting, at the last minute. The Commanders for the Grand Bay-Westfield and Hampton RCMP Detachments reported the following police activity on the Peninsula for the period covering January 2016 to September 2016: Calls For Service - 286, Check Stops – 41, False Abandoned 911 – 48, Assistance to General Public/ Other Agencies – 25, Mischief – 8 and Break/Enters - 11. Sgt. Desrosiers and Sgt. Rodier spoke of some interesting investigations including that of the plane crash in the Kennebecasis River near the Gondola Point ferries last August. They highlighted the fact that they worked seamlessly with the two Peninsula volunteer Fire Dept. who were first on scene. Chief Helen Comeau of the Peninsula Fire
Dept. and Deputy Chief Darren White of the Long Reach Fire Dept. reported the highest numbers ever for membership to their respective departments, 23 and 25 volunteer firefighters. They gave an overview of various calls for service they attended over the past years. Some of the training their F.F. received included Low Angle Rescue, Basic Remote Rescue, First Aid, Medical First Response, Ice Rescue, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Automobile and Bus Extrication, to name a few. Our MLA Bill Oliver gave an overview of some items he has been working on which included road work, ditching, tree/brush trimming along roadways. Mr. Oliver also talked about meetings and discussions he has had on many occasions with your LSD Committee and officials at DTI about ferry operations as well as with traffic safety at the Kingston Corner by the School. Steve Gourdeau and Glen Baxter thanked Mr. Oliver for his support and advice over the past year. Your Committee reported on some of their activities in 2016. Of note, Glen Baxter was elected Vice Chair to the Fundy Regional Service Commission, meetings with government services (DTI) and

local MLA to discuss traffic issues at the Kingston corner, Rte 845 surfacing issues, ferry Operations. We also had a meeting with the Minister of Local Governance to explore ideas to improve LSD status and in Spring 2016, we were fortunate to participate in a meeting with Premier Gallant where we brought forward issues with lack of internet coverage and ideas for rural economic development for the Peninsula. With that, I think you are up-to-date. Please remember our efforts to develop an emergency list of “people at risk” on the Peninsula. Give me a call if you need details.

SELF ESTEEM HAPPINESS IS LETTING GO Happiness is a choice. I have had people roll their eyes at me when I say that (maybe your eyes are rolling as you read this) but I know it to be true! Much of our unhappiness comes from holding on to the past. The truth is we have all been hurt at one time or another. Trust has been broken, our hearts have been shattered and perhaps, we have been treated badly. While experiencing pain is normal under these circumstances, we tend to allow the pain to linger on for way too long. We relive our pain over and over, each and every day. We get trapped in a vicious cycle of anger and hurt. It strains our relationships, possibly ruining them altogether. It distracts us from doing our work properly. We all end up very unhappy. Letting go can change your life. Letting go is letting happiness in. Holding on is like believing there is only a past. Letting go and moving on is knowing in your
heart that there is a brighter future. So, how do we let go and move on? First, we must accept the truth and be thankful. We are who we are today because of our past. Become thankful for the experiences that have made you cry, laugh and scream. These experiences have helped you learn and grow. Then focus only on what can be changed. Not everything in life is meant to be modified or perfectly understood. Learn what you can and can not change. Make peace with it. If you can not change something, change the way you think about it. Distance yourself for a while. Sometimes, while doing a jigsaw puzzle it helps to step away. You may have spent hours trying to fit a certain piece. Often, when we walk away and come back later with fresh eyes, we find exactly where that piece fits. Life can be like a puzzle. Returning to where you started is entirely different than never leaving.
Claim ownership of your own life. You are in full control of your life, even if it does not feel like it at times. You are responsible for how you interpret life and how you react to it. Focus on today. Decide right this moment that the negative experiences in your past will not predict your future. It is you who knows something about justice and injustice, abuse and respect, suffering and healing. You possess the clarity; courage and compassion that you will need to live the life you want to live. You have the choice. You can let go. You can move on. You can choose happiness! 0027

FAMILy MATTERS PARENTAL LISTENING Listening - it's not as easy as it sounds. Listening to your children improves your bond with them, teaches respect, boosts their self-esteem, encourages them to listen to you and builds their problem solving skills. Further, when we as parents use our listening skills we can gather information about what's going on in our children's lives and how they want to be raised. The Basics; listening requires understanding a few basic principles. These principles are critical for our children to feel like they are heard. Listen Without Speaking. Listen to your children when they want to talk. Be prepared for all kinds of feelings and thoughts and show your interest by saying such things as, ‘Tell me more about ...’, ‘Really’ and ‘Go on ...’. Listen Hard. Listen to how your kids are speaking as it can reveal a lot about how they experience their world. Let them share the way they know how, try not
to rush them and when they are done help them articulate what was hard for them to say. Listen Actively. When you are active listening there is no judgment or evaluation of what your kiddo is saying. To let your child know you’re listening and make sure you’ve really understood, repeat back what your child has said and make lots of eye contact. Tips. Many things can interfere with effective and empathetic listening. The good thing is we can plan for many of them by being prepared. Body Language. Focus on your children’s body language and other forms of nonverbal communication. As parents we can get preoccupied by all that we have to do and this helps us stay focused on our children. Create a Special Time and Place. Make it a routine and daily habit to listen to your child's day. This will require a time and place free of distractions.
Silence is Ok. It is ok to not know how to respond when your children share openly with you. Being honest about not knowing what to say may teach your children more than simply making up a response. Don’t Be Pushy. We can push our children for more than they may want to share and/or we want to problem solve for them. Understand that often your children want someone to merely listen to them and just want to vent. Like any other skill, you get better with practice, so this week take more time to listen and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

MORE THAN FITNESS ARE YOU STANDING IN YOUR WAY? Is there a goal that just seems to continually elude you? It is something that is very important to you that you really want to accomplish but you just can’t seem to get there. What is standing in your way? Chances are, the one thing that is standing in the way of your achievement is YOU! Without even realizing it, many of us get in the way of our own goals by setting ourselves up to fail. We do this through the negative self-talk that we have buried inside of our hearts and heads. Think about the image of that little devil sitting on your shoulder. Sometimes, without even realizing it, we allow his negative talk to sink into our sub-conscious minds and get in the way of the things that we want. There is something we would love to accomplish – maybe it is a weight loss goal, or the desire to live a more active life, or the desire to compete in an event or participate in a challenge. But before
17
we even begin to take on the challenge, we talk ourselves out of it. Think for a minute of what this internal dialogue is for you. “I would love to get more active this year BUT, I am too [fill in the blank] (tired, old, busy, over weight...). Sound familiar? We all have our own reason or reasons that follow the “but”, however, when we dig down deep, none of them are valid reasons to let ourselves be dissuaded from taking on a new challenge. The mind is the most powerful tool in the human body and in order to get ourselves ready for change, we must first begin with the right mindset. If you are considering making a lifestyle change in the New Year, take some time for honest reflection. Ask yourself what has gotten in the way in the past and then figure out how you can overcome it. If you are not able to objectively look at this yourself, ask a friend or family member to help you work through it. Make a list
of the potential obstacles that might get in the way of your success and then list all the ways you can work around these obstacles to ensure that this time, you will stick to your goal. As 2016 comes to a close and we look forward to all we will accomplish in 2017, remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, so don’t let yourself get in your own way! 0044

LIvE WELL GRATITUDE
The dictionary defines “gratitude” as the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. This tells us that gratitude is a double action - it is both giving and receiving. If you were asked: “Do you want to feel better about yourself and your life and improve your mental health,” I cannot imagine many of you would say “no thanks.” Research has proven that grateful people are happier, more optimistic about life in general and have better mental health. Being grateful for things given or done out of kindness rewards both the giver and the recipient. Those who practice an “attitude of gratitude” in their lives, feel good giving and want to pass it on or “pay it forward.” Having a grateful mindset also means that one does not take things for granted, that one is able to express thanks and not feel uncomfortable doing so. Over the years, I have heard many say that they are uncomfortable receiving, that they would rather be the giver. But here’s the thing,
being uncomfortable receiving is the opposite of being a taker, and as we often hear in our recovery groups: “180 degrees from dysfunctional is still dysfunctional.” Giving and receiving need to be reciprocal actions if we are to achieve balance and experience the joy that comes from giving and the humbleness of receiving. To deny others the opportunity of giving is to deny them the opportunity of feeling good about themselves or experiencing the good feelings that come from giving. What does an “Attitude of Gratitude” look like in everyday life? It means that we are not only grateful for material blessings but also for those things we often take for granted, like the ability to see, hear and be mobile, the basic freedoms enjoyed in a free society, food and shelter, healthcare, education, love of family and friends, the bed we sleep in each night, the warmth of our homes during the winter months, and so on. If you doubt this assertion, consider those living in war-torn or third world countries. Upon thinking about
other countries where war and famine are occurring, we can all be grateful that we live in a country where we can step outside our homes and not worry about bombs dropping or bullets whizzing overhead as we go about our daily lives. Even when bad things happen, I believe it helps and comforts to look for those things for which we can be grateful, such as good memories, a helpful hand during a crisis, new doors or avenues that become available to us when others are closed. Don’t you think an “Attitude of Gratitude” is worth seeking? 0008

PENINSULA PEARLS NEWS Peninsula Pearls held their first meeting for the year on September 13; as usual we had a potluck luncheon and a Bring & Buy sale. On September 26 our guest was Judy Whalen, a gardener and a gardener newspaper correspondent. She gave us an interesting and informal talk on how to plant and grow dahlias, everyone was given a dahlia to take home. Janice, Gary and friends were our guests on October 24 for our Halloween meeting. On October 14 we loaded a bus in Quispamsis to travel through Saint John, up to McAdam for a delicious lunch at the train station. Next stop Briggs & Little wool factory where we were shown how the yarn is made from the time the sheep are sheared until it is made into skeins of yarn. Back on the bus and down to St. George for a delicious supper then a quick stop at McKay's Blueberries and home. Everyone had a great day and a big thank you to Sherry and the bus driver. Jim Wilson, a Naturalist, was our guest speaker on November 14. He gave a very interesting talk on ducks and other sea birds which live along the shore of the Bay of Fundy: Cormorants, Arctic Tern, Atlantic Puffin, Razor Bill ducks are just a few of the birds he mentioned. A lot of them leave and go to South Africa for the winter. Submitted by N. Dann. 0028
APPLE PIE FUNDRAISER On October 28 & 29 the community of the Millstream area came together at the Berwick Hall and made just over 800 10” apple pies. This was the 13th year for this fundraiser for the hall, but more of a social for the community. We would like to thank everyone who purchased pies and who came out to help build the pies on Friday and Saturday. A special thank you to the ‘Farm Fresh’ 4H group for lending a hand. Many hands make light work. The members of the council would also like to give many thanks and appreciation to everyone who helped with the Roast Pork Supper on November 6. We apologize to those who had to be turned away at the door, and very grateful to those who stood in line, patiently waiting while the food was cooking. There was a fabulous turnout and the food ran out early. We thank you all for supporting our fundraisers. It is you who make them a success. 4336
HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS Christmas 2016... Details! - In past years, we have urged people in our community to donate gifts in order that all of our clients receive one at this time of year; however, due to the escalating price of food and input from many of our clients, we believe that our older clients will be better served if we can put more food into their Christmas boxes rather than a gift. So, clients please note! We will be giving gifts to all children from birth to 18 years old and will be increasing the amount of food that is given out for everyone. Needless to say we shall still need a lot of gifts, toys for the little ones and gift cards for the older children will be greatly appreciated and they can be brought to the Food Basket between 10:00am and 12:00noon on the following days: December 2 & 3; December 9 & 10; December 16 & 17. Gifts of non-perishable food are very welcome; however, a gift of money will result in an income tax receipt in the New Year and since we buy in bulk, would be advantageous for both the giver and the Food Bank. Please provide addresses for cash donations.
This is an exciting time of year for the Food Basket, a time when we gather with the community to prepare an offering in Jesus’ name to those who are in need; it’s an expression of love for Christ and our fellow travellers, which leaves those who take part in it with a deeper sense of what Christmas should be and a huge warm feeling in the heart. So, come and join in the celebration. Set-up will happen on December 20 from 1:00pm until the job is done! Filling boxes will happen on December 21 from 8:00am until every box is filled. Clients receive their boxes between 11:00am and 1:00pm on December 21. 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). For information please call, Catherine, 832 1235; Janice, 832-4340; David 644-8476; Betty 832-7526. To register for Christmas, phone Betty, 832-7526. The Canada Helps website 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 all donations will be recognised with a tax receipt 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, 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton, E5N 5B4. Our hearts will be gladdened, the poor will be overjoyed and I daresay that the noise of snow plowing and traffic will be drowned out by the angel choirs singing Alleluias! Blessings. “Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me”. 0029
We know that for many among us the approach of the holiday season will bring bittersweet memories of those who won’t be with us at this special time of the year. As families gather, thoughts of loved ones who have died will often bring both smiles and tears. Though they may have gone they are very much alive in our hearts, especially during the holidays. With this in mind, we will host a service of remembrance, asx we pause to reflect on the season and those who have shared seasons past. Our Tree Lighting Service will be held on Tuesday, November 29 at 7:00pm in the chapel here at Reid’s Funeral Home.

All those who are remembering a loved one this holiday season are invited to join us. Come share in a time of fellowship and in the beauty of our very special Christmas Tree dedicated to the memory of those we have lost. For those who wish to participate, a $5 donation in support of the Hampton Food Basket will add a light to our tree in memory of your loved one and place their name on the Honour Roll which will be read at the service, please call 832-5541 by November 28

Hospice Sussex is gearing up for its annual Angels Remembered fundraising campaign to be held during the Christmas Season. The campaign will run until Saturday, December 17 at the Gateway Mall.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES IMPERIAL THEATRE FAQ 1. Why didn’t I hear about “X” show? For every show that Imperial presents, we distribute a poster, place newspaper ads and send out a notice via our e-news. We distribute a season brochure to every household in the greater Saint John area. When appropriate we place billboards, radio and television ads. I have a weekly chat on CBC. The theatre is very active on facebook, twitter and Instagram @ImperialTheatre. We have a website and a mobile app. Plus of course, there is a monthly column in this publication. Shows put on by rental clients are also advertised in our biweekly e-news, and appear on our website. Beyond that, they are responsible for their own publicity. If you want to make sure you don’t miss anything, sign up for our e-news. Just go to the website and click “Sign Up for Our Newsletter” on the first page. 2. What if I buy an advance ticket and the weather is bad? As long as the
performers make it to the theatre, the show goes on. If you have a ticket for a show that Imperial presents and the weather is such that many events are cancelled, you can phone the box office up to two hours pre-show and we will give you a credit, which you can use for a future event. Rental clients make their own decisions. 3. Why are tickets so expensive? Actually, they aren’t. In 1913 most people would have had to work a full day to buy a $1 ticket. Our tickets are generally in the $30-$60 range. Even at minimum wage, those tickets are cheaper than they were 100 years ago. We also offer at least one free family event every year. 4. How do you choose which artists to book? It’s a complex process, based on availability and price of artists, working with other theatres in the area (nobody’s coming to New Brunswick for one night), fulfilling our commitment to represent a broad range of genres,
cultures and interests, and experience. I have a wonderful Programming Advisory Committee, and most of the time we are happy with the results. 5. Why is the Imperial always fundraising? Part of that is answered in #3 – ticket prices have not kept pace with other costs. Our ticket and rental revenue cover about 50% of our operating costs - a pretty good number for a nonprofit. The rest comes from fundraising and government. We also have a 103 year old heritage building to maintain, which is not covered by our regular funding. So we will always need help from our community. 0030

PENINSULA FOOD & CLOTHING BANK NEWS The Peninsula Food & Clothing Bank is so grateful to our ambulance crew here on the peninsula who, on Saturday, November 12, held a food drive for us at Sobeys, in Quispamsis. They managed to collect two carloads of food, and a large sum of cash as well, which will go to help fill our Christmas baskets. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! We so appreciate this fine crew of people who help us when we are in need - in more ways than one! The Peninsula Food & Clothing Bank will be giving out Christmas boxes this year to those who need them. If you know someone who is in need, ask them to call the Parish Office at 763-3183 or Linda Turgeon at 8324487. These boxes will be given out on Wednesday, December 21 at the hall. Please let us know as early as possible if you will be in need of a box so that we will be able to plan better. Please note: The Peninsula Food & Clothing Banks hours are changing, beginning in January, 2017. The Clothing Bank will be opened on the
first & Third Saturdays of every month from 9:00am-1:00pm. Food Bank will only be open on the third Saturday from 9:00am-1:00pm - this is in keeping with many of the Food Banks in the area who only are open one day
a month. If there is an emergency and someone may be in need of food that person may call the Parish Office at 763-3183 and leave a message. These new hours will take effect January 1, 2017. 4333

HELP NEEDED! The 100th Anniversary of the First World War continues. A few books on New Brunswick's involvement in those momentous events have appeared. What is missing are works about New Brunswick women in the Great War. These women from your area served as Nurses in the Great War: Marguerite Montgomery-Campbell and sisters Anna P Gamblin and Jeanne E Gamblin of Sussex; Edna L Dickson of Hammond River; Annie E McIntyre of Springfield; Georgina E McKenzie of Norton; Hazel M Smith of Bloomfield and Nellie C Floyd, Ethel K Moody and Nellie C Penfield all from Titusville. These women wrote letters home, kept diaries and later penned memoirs of their extraordinary experiences. I ask for your help in preserving those memorable letters, diaries and memoirs. Letters and diaries would be borrowed for research and then returned to their owners. If you have any such documents please contact me at: spph@nb.aibn.com; 506-450-9687 or 3 Southlawn Drive, Islandview, NB E3E 1A2. Rev Dr Ross Hebb. 4335
WAR AMPS ADDRESS LABEL MAILING The War Amps 2016 address labels have been mailed to New Brunswick. The theme, “Where Your Money Goes,” shows how the public’s donations to The War Amps help child amputees live full and active lives. Benjamin, 13, is a left leg amputee and a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. In a letter accompanying the address labels, his parents write about how CHAMP has been there for Benjamin and their family from the start: “CHAMP has been a support line that we could not be without, from the information we receive, to the seminars where we learn from each other, to the amazing financial support for artificial limbs, like Benjamin’s waterproof swim leg…because of The War Amps and your support, all of these things mean that he doesn’t feel left out, or alone in growing up as an amputee,” writes Wanita and Mark. For more information, or to order address labels, visit: waramps.ca or call toll-free 1-800-250-3030. 4281

MUSINGS WE SECRETLY LOVE WINTER As we move from November into December the upcoming arrival of winter can no longer be ignored. There have been a few bits of snow. The mornings can be quite “crisp”. Scraping the car windshield is becoming the norm. One forecaster predicts a snowier winter than normal, another says it will be warmer with more rain and mixed precipitation, and yet another may say after a mild start we will be up to our necks in snow come January. They can’t all be right! But . . . just our fascination following all of these long-range predictions is a really big hint at what I think is a secret love of a tough winter! You do not see the same interest in the long-range predictions for our summers. It is strictly a winter obsession. We all love to tell stories of the tough winters we have endured. The time the power was out for days. The time we needed a bulldozer to plow the snow because it was so deep. How we
survived the ice storm of 1998 (Note: I especially remember being able to skate for miles on top of the snow/ice fields!). I think it is something to do with being a Maritimer. The urbandictionary.com defines maritimer as “A real Canadian . . . the original and best part of Canada, where people are down to earth, take the time to talk with you and ask how you are doing, and are known for being friendly.” We also are true DIY types, self-sufficient to a fault, but always willing to lend a hand to a friend or neighbour. Winter gives us the perfect opportunity for all that, whether it is fixing an ailing snowblower, throwing snow up an 8-foot snowbank with a shovel or plowing out a neighbour. PLUS, it is the perfect time to enjoy a great book in front of a warm fire without feeling guilty about all the things you should be doing around the yard and house. And one more thing, comfort food! Your comfort food of choice may
be hot chocolate, hot oatmeal, lasagna or french toast, but there are certain foods that just fit cold winter weather. Don’t just take my word for it that we secretly love our winters. Far wiser heads than mine have travelled the same thought path: "Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it." ~ Richard Adams "The hard soil and four months of snow make the inhabitants of the northern temperate zone wiser and abler than his fellow who enjoys the fixed smile of the tropics." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson. 0001
