The Hampton Herald

It seems like a long time since I have written anything about “The Family”. Why, not even a wisecrack about the missus, in what seems like ages. I suspect that some of you are even wondering if I’m getting old and senile, and even chicken to say true things about my dear family. So here goes!! Starting by age, out of respect for my elders, there is the missus. I could select from a broad range of annoying issues, but I think I will just pick one for now. We are a two car family (plus my old truck), and while we will interchange vehicles, I for the most part drive the Subaru (2000) and the missus drives the Fusion (2008). While I could discuss her driving, it is her parking that is most annoying, especially if she has last driven MY car. For some strange and unknown reason, she cannot just park and turn off the ignition. Her parking procedure goes something like this... put vehicle in park, turn off radio, turn off blower fan, move seat back, and so on for about another 20 minutes. Jet pilots can shut down faster. So sometime later the process is then reversed... start engine, turn on radio, turn on blower fan, move seat forward... 20 minutes and 2 liters of gas later she is actually moving. I just don’t understand!! Fortunately, she doesn’t have to make a living doing valet parking, because moving 1.5 cars per hour just won’t cut it!! I think she explained it once by saying

she “didn’t like noise”. You know, start the car and the radio starts playing!! How this is different from “start the car” and then “turn on radio” is hard for me to distinguish. Now it pains me deeply to suggest that “The Jet” could also be annoying, but indeed he can. He has a serious tendency to want to what I call “follow from the front”. I start to go somewhere. I know where I am going but he doesn’t. But, he still wants to be out front. So say I want to walk over to the garage, “The Jet” quickly hops out ahead, but instead of staying off to one side and watching, he kind of meanders right across my path. If I veer off and try another route, he quickly corrects to once again steer across my bows, nautically speaking. If I ever let him get to a third attempt at blocking my path, he suddenly hears a voice foretelling his immediate and painful demise, at which point he rapidly considers that Mikie is Grumpy and should be left alone for a few minutes. So there!! I did it. 0001

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton GREAT SOUP FOR FREE Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I have been getting more and more questions about soups; how we make them and what tricks I might use when making them. My sister used to laugh at me because I always said, anything can be made into soup. It’s true though; as long as you start with a good foundation, anything can be made into soup. They might not always be good soups, but soup nonetheless. What I mean by a good foundation is the stock, the principle flavour which determines what kind of soup you are building. There are five basic stocks; poultry stock, both dark and light, beef stock, also dark and light, pork stock, fish stock or fume, and a vegetable stock. All these stocks are made from the leftovers of a great meal. If you have a prime rib dinner, save the bones and the fat cap. If you are cutting up carrots and

onions, save the skins. What we do is roast the bones with a little tomato paste. Place in a pot and cover with water. Add the carrot peels, onion peels, a little celery and maybe some garlic. Simmer, don’t boil, for six to eight hours. This will make a stock. You can freeze that stock in convenient. With your stock you can make a large variety of soups. Generally you would add your favourite vegetables. Try and pick the hardier ones as they hold up better and won’t go to mush. Then add diced meat or ground beef for your protein and then finish with a starch. This could be anything from rice to pasta and potatoes. With flu and cold season we often like a nice bowl of chicken soup. This is the same principle and method. What I use to do is cook a whole chicken. This would give me three meals - dinner, sandwiches and the third, I would make a stock with the carcass and soup. Same as above with carrot skins, onion skins, celery but this time you only need to simmer for 4 hours. Now you can make chicken noodle soup or chicken and rice or any variety of broth

soups you can think of. This is a much healthier way of making soup. Vegetable stock is just that, the water from a a lot of vegetables which just gives your soup a little more flavour. Pork stock isn’t very popular but you cannot make a real split pea soup without it. Fish Fume is just fish with onion and celery, simmered for 45 minutes. So don’t just throw away the scraps and peelings from your next dinner. Save some money and use as much as you can by making soups which are a great source of nutrients and only take a few minutes to heat up in the microwave for lunch. Get experimental with your stocks. If they don’t work, don’t worry, you were going to throw it all out anyway. 0040

Feb 6 1988 ~ Oct 19 2005 God called your name so gently That only you could hear No one heard the footsteps Of the angels drawing near Softly from the shadows There came a gentle call You closed your eyes, went to sleep And quietly left us all As I loved you, I miss you. Gram May the winds of love blow softly And whisper so you can hear We will always love and miss you And wish that you were here. Cousins Tammy, Jeff and Brooke

Treasured memories keep you near As time unfold yet another year Everydayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifetime without you The tears still flow as they do The October winds blow cold Your secrets still untold No clue you had a troubled soul Only God knows the truth be told You were my boy of fall I thought you had it all You always played with passion No matter what the game Always front and center Everyone knew your name Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a picture perfect face That looks at me and marks your place Thanks for the precious memories With broken hearts We remember. RIP AJ. Love always and forever.

Everyday in some small way Memories of you come our way Though absent you are always near Still loved, missed and always dear. Aunt Joe & Uncle Nel May the winds of love blow softly On a quiet, peaceful spot Where the one we love lies sleeping But will never be forgot.

IN THE GARDEN by betty kennett THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER… REFLECTIONS FOR WINTER JOYS! As usual, I am still revelling in the sight of roses blooming abundantly in my small garden, they are enthusiastically sporting a great crop of buds that will probably be thwarted in their desire to bloom by the first really deadly frost; the vision of their beauty will stay in my mind through the blizzards and discomforts of winter, a reminder that spring really is just a season away and that gardening doesn’t need to stop for several weeks yet. Because active gardening is drawing to a close it’s a wise practice to prioritise the jobs that can be done in the next few weeks. Cutting back the perennials and pulling away any dead leaves from them will certainly be a plus come spring at the same time as removing a good breeding ground for earwigs, slugs and the like. Pulling the mulches away from the plants

and replacing them it with a good layer of a compost/manure will not only protect, but also be ready to feed them for the coming growing season. Any fallen fruit needs to be picked up and tossed into the compost, left on the ground they will become a nursery for all the ailments that the parent plant can succumb to as well as a breeding ground for wasps and hornets… this activity is best done with heavy gloves or long handled tongs, for obvious reasons! Any weeding that can be done before the ground freezes is a plus and turning over the soil should disturb any freshly fallen weed seed which the frost should quickly do away with. Bulbs can still be planted but should not be covered with brush until the ground is completely frozen, though, in this area it isn’t entirely necessary, but it can be helpful if our winter produces a series of of freeze and thaw scenarios. Roses, especially the hybrid type, should be banked up with a mixture of earth and compost and the tallest stems reduced in length to avoid damage from the wild

winter winds; hybrids need to be covered for at least a depth of six inches above the join of the root stock. As the leaves fall, a last mowing will chop them up and they can be left on the lawn to act as fertilizer; in a densely treed area raking may be needed and of course that will providing more good stuff for the compost. A final act that will reap rewards is to wander, pen and paper in hand, and note where things are planted providing a useful and pleasurable winter diversion; armed with catalogues and gardening books, mug and goodies in hand, one can while away many hours planning for the next gardening season, while contemplating the rich gifts that this year’s garden has stored in your mind.

POINT OF VIEW NEWSPRINT MEMORIES While packing away some summer clothes the other day, I stumbled upon a binder full of memories. It was piled high with newspaper clippings – copies of columns and feature stories I had written during my years working for a Nova Scotia weekly. As I made my way through the pile, reading the headlines and scanning the stories, it brought back a lot of memories. I couldn't help but smile at some of the firstperson features I'd written. These were my favourites to do, because it allowed me to experience something new and write about it from my own point of view. Over the years, I donned hunting gear and went duck hunting and deer hunting. I can remember, at the time, thinking that I didn't like the early mornings and being quiet. With a medium security prison located in the town I lived in, it was a given that I would want to experience being an inmate for a day. That was an eye opening experience and made me appreciate life on the outside. I tried my hand at parenting (before I became a parent) with the help of a Baby Think It Over infant simulator doll. It was one of two computerized dolls designed to help local high school students better understand what it's like to be the main caregiver of a baby. I named her Abby and she cried – a lot! It was a long 24 hours, but I lived to write about it. The little journalist with the big appetite (me) got to spend a few hours at the local Tim Hortons, where I baked (and ate) chocolate chip cookies

for the annual Smile Cookie campaign. I spent a day as a preschool student, had a psychic predict my future, and acted with a theatre company. My weekly column, like this one, could be about anything from New Year's Resolutions and politics to my latest cooking fiasco. I remember making baked beans for the first time. I added all the ingredients the recipe called for, put them in the oven, baked them for hours and they never softened. What I didn't know, is that you have to boil the beans first. Needless to say, it became a column topic that would make any good cook cringe. Once my daughter was born, her experiences (and mine) often made for comical column topics. Potty training, temper tantrums in the mall, hitting little boys at the bank. You name it, she did it – and I wrote about it. It's fun to be back writing columns, and I'm thankful for all the kind emails and comments I've received so far. My goal as a column writer has always been to evoke pleasant memories, provoke thought and, hopefully, entertain the reader. If you have any questions/ comments, I'd love to hear from you.

6 REASONS TO SWAP YOUR ALL SEASONS TO WINTER TIRES – ESPECIALLY IN NEW BRUNSWICK: When I was growing up chains on tires were still a thing – everyone out to protect their loved ones from slippery roads the best they can. My dad, knowing that soon I would be married and off building a life of my own, took me for a drive on a snowy Sunday, after my studded winters’ had been installed, and shared his infinite tire wisdom. Here are a few things that I remember from that day. 1) Although it’s the treads that you notice, the most important part of a winter tire is actually its rubber compound, which is designed to stay soft in freezing temperatures. Like a gecko climbing a sheet of glass, a tire sticks to the road by conforming to minute imperfections. The soft rubber treads of a winter tire are able to splay and wrap themselves around minute protrusions on cold pavement, or even on what may appear to be perfectly smooth ice. All-seasons, which must be designed for year-round use, cannot match winter tires in low temperatures. 2) It’s about temperature, not snow. Winter tires should be installed when you expect temperatures to fall to 7 C or below. As the temperature falls, the rubber in summer and

The Hampton Herald

all-season tires becomes inflexible, killing traction. Watch the thermometer and use common sense, because no one will tell you exactly when to put on snow tires 3) All-season tires are a bad compromise. On snow, ice or cold pavement, the stopping distance of a car with winter tires can be up to 30 to 40 per cent shorter than one with allseasons. Since the force of a crash increases as the square of impact speed, this could be the difference between life and death. 4) Winter tires should be narrower than summer models. Experts recommend that you go down one or two sizes when installing winter tires – if your car came with 215-millimetre wide summer tires, for example, your winter tires should be 205 mm or 195 mm. Reducing the width of a tire increases the pressure it exerts on the surface beneath it – this helps the tire slice through snow and reduces hydroplaning. 5) All-wheel drive helps you accelerate, not stop. On slippery surfaces, vehicles with four driving wheels can accelerate better than those with two-wheel drive. But their cornering and braking capabilities are little

different than a two-wheel-drive model. When you’re trying to stop or turn, the limits are determined by the traction capabilities of your tires, not the number of driven wheels. 6) Winter tires are designed to move water. When a tire presses down on snow or ice, it melts the top layer, creating a thin film of water (the same phenomenon that occurs as a skate glides across a rink). If the water isn’t moved away from the area in front of the tire, the car will hydroplane. This is why winter tires are covered with grooves (including tiny channels known as “sipes”) that move water away to the sides, allowing the tire to stay in contact with the surface. Although, as a young girl, I may have not listened to everything my father told me, his tire tricks I am certain, have saved my life a time or two, so dad if you are reading this – see I listen! And thank you for everything you taught me that I can and cannot remember. Jaymee Splude, Loch Lomond Mitsubishi

FRESH WITH FOOD by Dave wolpin UNCOVERING CRANBERRIES Reflecting upon the Thanksgiving season and more so the harvest season, cranberries are a neglected resource of health and pleasure. We often associate cranberries as a uniquely holiday consumption. Unfortunately, for many consumers, that involves opening a can of jellied cranberry sauce. In fact, only 5% of cranberries are purchased fresh and whole. You might also think you are making a healthier decision by getting the whole berry cranberry sauce. In reality, both these concoctions contain more high-fructose corn syrup than the precious fruit. Worse is that the pro-oxidant qualities of high fructose corn syrup cancels out many of the antioxidant benefits of cranberries. This is truly unfortunate considering cranberries are a fascinating, locally grown fruit that offers one of our food system’s best medicinal packages. The high levels of fibre and vitamin C

are some of the best known benefits of cranberries. However, what earns them the most research attention is their unusually high levels and synergistic package of phytonutrients, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties when the using the whole fruit. Now that we know just how healthy cranberries are, how do you consume them? In order to get the one cup of fresh cranberries that you should consume regularly, you would have to drink 16 cups of cranberry juice and 26 cans of cranberry sauce. Most of our palates do not welcome the sour strength of cranberries without accompaniment. However, try adding a handful to your smoothies or blending them into your salad dressings. Even better, for an easy-to-make salad that will immediately become a holiday favourite, place two cups fresh berries in your blender along with 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks, a quartered skinned orange, a sweet apple (such as one of the Delicious variety) and a handful or two of walnuts or pecans. Blend till well mixed but still

chunky. Transfer to a large bowl. For your holiday cranberry sauce, try this recipe that makes an amazing sauce without sugar. Bring 1 cup orange juice, 1 tsp minced fresh ginger, 1 tsp minced orange zest and 1/4 tsp cinnamon to a boil on high heat in a medium saucepan. Rinse 12 oz cranberries and add once liquid is boiling. Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup crushed pineapple and 1/2 cup honey. Remove from heat and cool. And of course, cranberry orange muffins are always a sure hit any time of the year. Cranberries are something we should be eating year-round. Like the customary box of blueberries and bags of strawberries, we should have a tub of cranberries in our freezer ready for quick handfuls into our meals. 0039 Dave Wolpin Kredl’s Corner Market

AWARD WINNING PUMPKIN Dawn and Bill Northrup spied a one hundred pound pumpkin on a neighbour’s doorstep one Halloween night and decided to try their own hand at growing jumbo pumpkins. They began in 1998 after getting seeds from a man in Nova Scotia and this year their pumpkin was the largest grown in

Atlantic Canada at 1,389lbs. A whopper for sure. Dawn and Bill take their pumpkins to festivals across New Brunswick and down into Nova Scotia. You can see their humongous pumpkins on Route 121 between Apohaqui and Sussex at Fox Hill. 3171

Karl Chase who passed away on

July 29, 1943 - October 29, 2013

October 27, 2013.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye, You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow, What it meant to say I love you No one can ever know. But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten I pledge to you today, A hollowed place within my heart Is where you’ll always stay.

Karl, everyday in some small way Memories of you come my way. Though absent, you are always near. Still missed, loved and always dear.

From your loving Husband Cecil Scullion; Children Tara Scullion (Larry Knorr), Shawn Scullion (Suzanne Roy), Jason (Kim) Scullion; Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren

LISTEN IN by Jeﬀ liberty BRENT MASON There is no doubt that singer/songwriter Brent Mason is a local legend. Brent just recently released his finest album yet, “All The Pretty Horses”. The album highlights the brightest talents in the greater Saint John region including the production duties courtesy of Grant Heckman and Tim Davidson. The album is a homerun from the moment you drop the needle (so to speak – It’s a CD). My favorite song on the album is “When Jesus Met Whiskey”. Here is my e-interview I did with Brent. Listen in to us here and spin the album for yourself. It a worthwhile album for any music lovers collection. JL - After all these years of performing live and being a recording artist, what keeps it all fresh for you? BM - Remember I got started late! Didn't pick up a guitar til I was nearly done university, didn't start performing live until much later. SO I find I'm still learning so much that it's always

interesting. Also, there's the fun of trying out new songs, connecting with a crowdwhich always elevates me, and I feel so good about playing with my band now in all humility we're pretty tight- that it's a real charge for the batteries to hit the stage. JL - Tell us a bit about how the process and the experience of how the new album went down? BM - This record- which seems to be getting more support and positive response than anything I've donewouldn't have happened without my friend Grant Heckman's enthusiasm and incredible support. I had a bunch of songs and just wasn’t sure if they were ready. Grant has a small basement studio, and after I banged 'em out there on the acoustic he was insistent that they were good, and more importantly, that he'd like to help produce. He put in a ton of hours, bringing a unique combination of musicianship and production knowledge to the record. Playing a lot of the tunes live for a while before recording helped.

JL - What are your aspirations for this new album? BM - Aspirations? Really, I just want the record to get heard. I think if it is people will support it. I've had a really good two or three years and this should continue that trajectory! JL - Name your Top 5 all time favorite songs or artists? How can people find out where to buy your album(s) and where you’re performing next? BM - People can get the record at Backstreet Records uptown (the greatest!) or from my website: brentmason.ca download or order it and I'll mail it! Five favorite musical influences?

Council, Staff & Residents wish to congratulate the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce on 35 years of building and supporting Hampton’s Business Community The Town of Hampton is a proud member of the HACC

Hampton. One of their first projects was to acquire funding for a nursing home to be built in Hampton. This has allowed many of Hampton’s seniors to stay in the town they love and call home. Today that nursing home, the Dr. V.A. Snow Centre, still serves the citizens of Hampton. When Dutch Elm disease tore across the province and decimated Hampton’s stately Elm trees, the Chamber stepped up to the task of having the approximately 150 trees removed and replaced to keep the town beautiful and vibrant. In the past, the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in a number of town events and happenings. Some of you might remember when Ossekeag Days took place throughout the 70’s and 80’s, complete with bike rodeos, Lion’s bingo, Rotary breakfast, parades, quilt shows. The Chamber was instrumental in putting these fun-filled days together. Before every election the Chamber has held a “meet the candidates” to give Hampton’s citizens a chance to come out, meet their local candidates, hear them speak and listen to the ideas they have for Hampton. Every year they supply a $500 bursary to a local area graduate who will be pursuing a post-secondary education in business. Right now they are hard at

you look up the definition of a Chamber of Commerce it is short and simple. Chamber of Commerce: (noun) 1. an association, primarily of people in business, to promote the commercial interests of an area. For most of us that would be exactly what we expect from such an organization built and operated by business people. But not here in Hampton, for the past 35 years the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce has served under its founding motto: Good Citizenship, Good Government, Good Business. It has sought to improve the quality of life for all of Hampton’s citizens. Like any Chamber of Commerce it does operate for business and by business owners. Its membership hovers around 100 and those members enjoy discounts at participating stores, group insurance, reduced rates on various services and mix & mingle events. These privileges of membership help to foster a strong business community within Hampton, ensuring that the town’s residents can find what they need in and around Hampton. From the very beginning, when the founding members were sworn in by their local MLA John Baxter in September of 1979, they were set to make positive changes for the citizens of

Grief is a process not an event There are both unique and common threads running through the bereavement experience. Each of us has his or her own grief process and we do ourselves a disservice by trying to compare our grief with that of others. Yet, there are many common factors which create or sustain the overwhelming sadness which accompanies a loss. We must know ﬁrst of all that grief is a process and not an event. It takes time to accomplish the work that grieving requires - but the result of that eﬀort can be a solid cornerstone for rebuilding our life.

MUSINGS by Debbie hickey CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT... Such innocuous words, but when you think about it, what a negative comment. A warning, a rebuke, that the consequences of curiosity will be serious and undesirable. I am a great believer in curiosity. That and perseverance are two traits I would encourage all parents to nurture in their children. Curiosity comes naturally to young children, surrounded by a myriad of possibilities, of knowledge to pursue. Why do the leaves change colour? Why is it sunny but cold in winter, but sunny and warm in summer? Why do we need money? Why? Why? Why? A yearning to know that over time becomes dulled and formalized into only schools providing answers, and then only to the questions someone else has decided are the ones we need to know. We stifle that sense of wonder, that yearning to know, and insist everyone fit into the little round holes and learn the same things in the same way. We

allow little room for those creative souls who follow the paths less travelled, and by doing so have the opportunity to discover new things. As to perseverance, the dictionary will tell you it is “steady persistence in a course of action . . . especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement”. How is it linked to curiosity? Perhaps it isn’t. But it is most surely linked to the pursuit of answers to the why questions. Perseverance is my recommended course of action when dealing with bureaucracy where ever encountered, but most particularly government departments which impact on our lives. It is simply a course of action based on not giving up until every why question has a satisfactory answer. I was reminded recently of an incident when my daughter was in middle school and the teacher insisted a parent sign her agenda every night. Why? To ensure she had completed her homework. I had not been checking her homework for several years by that point, so I asked was there a problem, was her homework not

done? No. Then why did the agenda need to be signed? Absent a satisfactory answer, I refused to sign the agenda. I would not insult my daughter by checking her homework, and if I did not check I would not sign that I had. Was my child going to be punished because she had a parent who was anti agenda signing? No. Fine, I would not be part of making her fit that particular round hole; we all have better things to do with our time than waste it on foolish policies with no purpose. Most people would consider Albert Einstein a brilliant mind. But here is what he said about himself: “I have no special talent.
