From Dictionary.com: adjective 1. having or showing wellbred feeling, taste, etc.: refined people; 2.freed or free from coarseness, vulgarity, etc.: refined taste. 3.freed from impurities: refined sugar. 4.very subtle, precise, or exact: refined distinctions. Debbie and I were recently in conversation with a professional lady, who during our conversation turned to me and said “You’re so refined.” Both of us, of course, nearly fell over laughing, and it has been a great source of laughs since, such as: “My refined person does not take out the garbage. Should you wish to have household waste products transported, I shall condescend to carry out such a menial task.” I later, suggested to Debbie my theory on how I get labelled as refined while she, in much fancier dress, does not: “Dress a notch above homeless and saying anything half ways intelligent will shock the heck out of them.” That particular day I was wearing well worn black jeans and a maybe eight-year old “Hampton River Runners 5 Mile” t-shirt, unlaced sneakers and likely gray work socks. So my theory is “dress for success”!! Dress to the nines and you are sure not to shine. Dress in distress, and you will impress!! Definition 3 for refined - “freed from impurities” certainly doesn’t

work well for me since I am a well known “dirtbag” and just loaded with impurities!! (see last Ravings) Now, another possible explanation, is that while dressed crudely, my language usage is seldom crude. I am a firm believer that my wish to use four letter words is not as important as someone else's wish to not hear them. I was especially worried during my younger years, around my mother, after a day out collecting garbage. Fortunately, I survived five summers and never screwed up even once. Unfortunately, I would argue that many today still use dress to assess someone’s degree of crudeness or refinement. But, I would urge you to scratch the surface and find the real person living in those clothes. And don’t be surprised if a refined appearance is hiding a crude and vulgar person. And I, refined to the hilt, am hiding out as a dirtbag. 0002

Bikes dropped off for Dominican Republic On September 17 the Rotary Club of Hampton held their yearly collection of Boots, Bicycles and Medical Supplies for transportation to the Dominican Republic. It was another successful year as 24 bicycles and 24 boxes of boots, glasses and medical supplies were rounded up at the Hampton Pavilion on a pleasant sunny Saturday. We extend our thanks to all those thoughtful Hampton area citizens who so kindly dropped by with their items. We also want to remind everyone that the Rotary Annual Book Sale will take place on Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15. This will be the 20th year of this very popular fundraiser. The doors will be open at the Hampton Senior Resource Centre from 5:00-9:00pm on Friday and from 9:00am-1:00pm on Saturday. 0003

The Thursday night Open Mics are popular where the House Band of Len Tonge, MC; Denny James, Donna Chase, Lawrence Furlong and Steve Norman provide exceptional back-up music for all the performers.

Singer, Eileen Lamb gave a lovely rendition of the song, “Thank You Lord for Your Blessings on Me”. Recent happy 50/50 winners were Keith White and Gerry LeBlanc and door prize winners were Mary Long and Vera Stephenson. Up-coming dates for Open Mics are as follows: October 6; October 20 & October 27. The Canteen is always great! So join us for an enjoyable evening. 0009

LISTEN IN JESSICA RHAYE - SONG IN ME Hampton based singer/songwriter Jessica Rhaye has just released her 5th album “Song In Me”. I have been watching her grow, as a songwriter and performer, from the sidelines for years now and she is probably the artist who has surprised me the most. How has she surprised me? Her song writing and performer chops have grown in leaps and bounds in recent years and her new musical offering “Song In me” is nothing short of a rootsy pop modern day classic filled with all the warmth, charm and beautifully woven stories that catapult you back to the glory days of 70’s am radio and mood rings. She has connected all the dots and her musical vision has never been stronger. The album was produced by Nova Scotia’s Dale Murray (Anne Murray’s nephew). Dale and the musicians who culminate here really help shape the sound and are an integral piece of the puzzle in bringing Jessica’s unique musical vision into the light. I have never heard Jessica
so comfortable and confident on record. There is an ease here that really draws the listener into her creative world. It’s music making for the sake of music where she has brought in a community of like minded co-writers and collaborators to make a record that has a genuine classic spirit. Records like this are few and far between on the commercial musical landscape today. I have to mention some of the songwriters here as well, the majority of which are local and show just how many talented writers we have in our backyard. No stranger to anyone here is living blues legend and Perth-Andover native Matt Andersen and Folk Pop West coast auteur Matt Epp. I was really astounded by the local songwriters with Jessica and how well it all worked. Even with all the varied co-writers the record has such a singular vision that is both engaging and highly creative. These fellow writers include Brent Mason who
has really written some beautiful stand out songs here with Jessica, Bill Preeper and Hilary Anne Ladd. Jessica also covers Ken Tobias’ “Good To Be Alive In The Country” which fits perfectly with this collection of originals. Congratulations Jessica on such a beautiful record that is a joy to listen to. Thank you for making this record! Don’t stop! Jessica along with her stellar live band will be performing a CD Release show in the city and here is the info: Saturday, October 1 - Song in Me Release Show at BMO Studio Theatre (112 Princess Street, Saint John). Set: 8:00pm, all ages. Jeff ’s current musical fixation – Teenage Fanclub. 0041

HAMPTON HISTORY HAMPTON HISTORY OCTOBER PART I 1. [This Newspaper article is summarized: Girl Cadet Corps formed at Hampton Consolidated School in October 1943 with forty people enrolled… it consists of two platoons with Lieut. Florence Ewing and Lieut. Jean Davidson as platoon commanders… instructions are given in first aid, signalling, marksmanship, physical training and parade drill.] (KCR, Dec. 1943) 2. [In 2006 Mrs. Murray Anderson (nee Lillian Henderson) wrote of her memories of HCS that I included in a book I was doing on the school’s history. I quote a small portion of that item.] “We played ball at noon hours and it is hard to believe that the boys had target practise down stairs in the school one day a week. Catherine Skaling [Mrs. Murray Crowley] brought the 22 up on the train and walked over to the school with it. One noon the boys, wanting to make a joke of me, asked me to come down and try it out. Much to everyone’s surprise, including my own, I got two bull’s-eyes. Fifty years later I could produce the proof when the subject came up at a reunion. In our class picture taken that day I am holding the gun. The picture hangs in the hallway at the Hampton Middle School and my grandchildren are often asked to explain about the gun.” (HCS, pages 140-141) [Lillian walked each day from her home on Darling’s Island to the railway
station in Nauwigewauk where she took the train to Hampton and then walked to the Hampton School. This was repeated in reverse at the end of the school day. I believe it is worth noting that “if she had perfect attendance the three years she attended high school, Lil would have walked over 3500 miles to get that phase of her education - that is, halfway across Canada; if we include the ‘train portion of her trip she probably reached the Pacific coast.”... The class did not have a group photo taken in 1937 as many parents could not afford to have one taken of their sons and daughters. By the time of the 50th Reunion, two of the classmates had died. So for the 1987 photo there are inserts of those two members along with those ten still living… and of course there is Lil with her gun and her ‘bulls-eye” evidence. What a unique photo!] (HCS, pages 140-141) 3. “A Hampton girl, Mrs. John Tunney (the former Agnes Keohan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Koehan of Hampton was chosen to supervise the diet of the late inventor, Thomas A. Edison, at the West Orange [New Jersey] home of the great inventor.”) KCR, Oct. 23, 1931) 4. [Let me mention two more who attended the school - W. A. C. [William Arthur Cecil] Bennett, who became Premier of British Columbia and John Peters Humphrey, who wrote the draft of the United Nations’ Declaration of
Human Rights. In 1998 Canada Post honoured both these Hamptonians on our country’s stamps - Bennett - part of the “Premiers” series was honoured in the Spring; in October the Humphrey stamp was issued.] (FDGK) 5. [Summary of the Intercolonial Railway schedule: Going “west” 10 trains stopped at Hampton each day, and on Saturday there is an extra train stop. Going “east” there were 10 stops each day. This includes passenger and freight trains.] (KCR, Oct. 28, 1904) CODE: KCR Kings county Record (published in Sussex); HCS “Hampton Consolidated School - A Story Worth Telling” by David G.

HHS STUDENTS EXPLORE SCOTLAND In May of 2015, it was announced that the Hampton High School Theatre Company would be participating in the world-renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Fourteen months later, on August 9, nine students and two staff members boarded a plane to begin the trip of a lifetime. Our journey began in London where students participated in an acting workshop at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. We also enjoyed guided tours of the National Theatre and Buckingham Palace. The highlight of this portion of our journey was attending a performance of the musical Phantom of the Opera. We arrived in Edinburgh on August 12, and immediately began preparing for our production of Around the World in Eighty Days which we performed on four occasions before an international audience. Other high points of the trip included a sightseeing excursion to Stirling Castle and the Highlands. Students had the thrill of participating in a traditional Ceilidh Scottish dance, and they
enjoyed an amazing performance of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. We also had the opportunity to see a wide range of international theatrical productions. This experience would not have been possible without the financial support of several wonderful individuals and organizations. It was a journey filled with endless magical moments that participants will remember for the rest of their lives. Thank you to the citizens of Hampton and surrounding areas for making this all possible. 4256

care or participate in decision-making structures.” “ACTSA believes that gender equality and the empowerment of women is crucial for advancing development and reducing poverty in southern Africa, and aims to integrate a gender perspective in all its work.” These beliefs reflect those of the Hampton-Piggs Partnership. That is why gender equality is one of the pillars upon which our organization is built. Whether it a 13 year old girl in school or an 80 year old gogo caring for her grandchildren, we try to give females in Swaziland the opportunities that are otherwise denied them by a society that is geared toward male dominance. We have built a modern washroom facility at a school where girls previously had only a pit toilet. We provide equal opportunity for education for girls, paying school fees for an equal amount of females and males. More importantly, we have found that an education provides females with dignity, self-respect, and the self confidence that allows them to say “no” to unwanted sex and the risk of contracting HIV. We provide food and other support to the grandmothers in Swaziland, who are integral to life there. In fact, they are integral to survival there. In many cases they look after as many as 10 to 15 grandchildren who have been orphaned by AIDS. For the most part they are suffering, either from illness or simply the toll taken by a long and hard life, and living in poverty. Yet they somehow carry on, taking care of their grandchildren when there is no one else to do so, even as they grieve over the loss of their own children. If you would like to show your support to the girls and gogos in Piggs Peak, please go to our website: hamptonpiggspeak.ca and make a donation to our Starfish Program (for students) or our Grandmothers’ Partnership. Even a donation of $5 or $10 will help. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me, Mark Bettle, at: markbettle1@gmail.com .

ASK THE CHEF BRING ON THE CHOWDER Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. For the longest time, I was always under the belief that a chowder was a soup made with chunks of potatoes; a hearty stew like soup made in one pot. I was wrong. I did a little research and this is what I found out about chowder. Chowder is a traditional maritime soup which has evolved over the years, usually consisting of seafood and vegetables (including potatoes) in a rich and creamy broth, thickened with crackers or a roux (equal parts melted butter and flour). It was made in one pot and you could feed many. Manhattan chowder, on the other hand, is made with a tomato base with no thickening agent. It is true that all chowders should have potatoes but this comes from the fact that potatoes were a staple in our diets and continue to be today. Now from seafood chowder, we started
making other chowders. Fish chowder, mushroom chowder, vegetable chowder and most famous, corn chowder. Corn chowder was often served during the harvest, to feed the workers as they tried to get the harvest in. Always having a big crowd, this made for easy preparation and serving. So how easy is it to make chowder? All you need is a pot. To make creamy chowder start with your favourite fish; the less oily the better. If you add salmon to your chowder, that flavour will dominate the rest of it. Great if you love salmon but not if you want all the different flavours coming through. So in a large pot add chunks of onion, large diced potatoes and any other vegetables you would like or have on hand. Sweat these off and this will add to your flavour. Place your seafood and cover until seafood is cooked. Do not stir because your fish will break apart. Add enough fish stock to cover the ingredients in the pot and season to your
taste. Bring to a light boil and add a roux to thicken. Add 35% cream to balance off how thick your chowder has become. You should use heavy cream, so your chowder does not break or split. Allow to simmer for at least 30 minutes and serve. Once you get this down, you can now play with your recipe by adding white wine, different herbs like tarragon, chopped garlic, or anything that you think would be good. That is the beauty of cooking, it becomes yours once you have a good base. Edited for space, see full article at: ossekeag.ca. 0040

Crying is not a measure of one’s grief. There are all kinds of appropriate reactions to loss and one of them is crying. However, if you don’t feel like crying, that’s all right too. Certain personalities cry when they are hurt, certain others don’t cry. We believe that tears bring a level of relief for some, a way to let the pain out. Tears will come as long as they need to. If the tears are there, let them fall, rather than choking them back so their cleansing value can be realized. On the other hand, if you feel no tears coming, don’t feel obligated to force them.

MORE THAN FITNESS KEEP IT SAFE! In today’s society, we tend to take an “all or nothing” approach when it comes to many things and this often includes exercise. When we decide to start a new program, rather than gradually easing ourselves into it, we often jump in with both feet. While it is great to be motivated and determined, the most important thing we should always consider first is safety. There are many challenges and programs out there today that encourage participants to go “all out” and push themselves as hard as they can right from the get go without first establishing a base level of fitness. These types of activities and challenges can lead to frustration, disappointment and most importantly, injury. When beginning a new program, give yourself a chance to work your way in gradually. If you have been sedentary for some time, begin with an introductory program that lets you establish a base level of fitness before pushing yourself to further limits. Look for progressive
programs that start with a mild to moderate intensity and continue to progress every four to six weeks with increasing levels of intensity. Pay attention to how your body is feeling throughout and be sure to take the proper rest and recovery time in between workouts. While your muscles should feel worked following a new program, you should not experience pain during regular recovery. Slight muscle soreness is completely normal in the day or two following a workout but discomfort beyond that is a sign that you are pushing too hard. With so many programs and suggestions available online today, it is especially important for consumers to beware of taking on challenges and workouts that do not follow proper work to rest ratios. Some that are particularly worrisome are those that encourage repetitive exercise without proper rest (ie. 100-day squat challenge – does not allow for proper muscular recovery between workouts) or those that promote imbalanced training
approaches (ie. 30-day ab challenge – works the abdominal muscles but does nothing to challenge the opposing muscles of the back). The best thing you can do if you are considering starting a program or taking on a fitness challenge is to seek advice from a certified fitness or health care professional before you get started. Have the program reviewed to ensure it is safe and efficient, will meet your goals and be appropriate for your fitness level. Finding new ways to challenge yourself is a great way to get or stay in shape and keep things fresh. By ensuring that the program you choose is balanced and safe, you will set yourself up for success and reach your goals in no time. 0044 Jennifer Gendron Certified Personal Trainer & Fitness Instructor Specialist

Fall Pt. II While there is some indication we may be in for a warmer than usual fall, that doesn’t mean it feels like summer. Even on the warm days, there is a crisp freshness to the air that reminds us that summer is behind us. This is a good time to take a look at your house with an eye to ensuring you will cozy and warm all through the winter. There is still time to get lots of home projects done!
There are a number of indoor projects which are best undertaken before that cold weather arrives. Ensuring you have no creosote build-up in your chimney and having your furnace serviced are at the top of the list because of safety concerns if they are not done. Cracks in stovepipes attached to wood stoves can release toxic fumes into your home, so before firing up your stove for the first time this fall take

a moment to check for corrosion, holes, or loose joints. Clean the stovepipe, and check for signs of deterioration or looseness. Similarly, even if you did it in the spring, ensuring you have working smoke alarms with fresh batteries should be a standard fall home check-up item.

it, while it is still warm enough to open the windows. A tip from the pros - if at the end of the day you haven’t finished the project you don’t have to go through the laborious process of cleaning your paintbrushes and paintroller. Brush or roll off the excess paint, then tightly wrap in plastic Just as it is time to change out your food wrap and place the wrapped wardrobe for warm sweaters and brushes and rollers in the fridge jeans instead of T-shirts and shorts, to keep them fresh. The next day a few simple changes to your home can instantly make it feel more warm and cozy. Changing cushions to richer fabrics and warm colours, tossing a warm throw or plaid blanket over the arm of a chair and adding a fall wreath on the door will transform your living space quickly and easily. For bigger impact, interior painting is by far the easiest way to freshen up your home and fall is a great time to do welcomingly cool during the summer, nothing is worse than waking up to the icy shock of a cold floor. Before this becomes an issue this year, consider cork or wood flooring or adding an area rug to turn any cool room into a cozy haven.
(or even several days later), simply remove from the fridge 30 minutes before painting, and you will be ready to go. All done? Great. Invite some friends or family over, open a bottle of wine and catch up on the news. After all, isn’t that the whole point of making your house a home?

FAMILY MATTERS TRANSITIONING TO PARENTHOOD The transition to parenthood is often very exciting but all the wealth of information out there makes it overwhelming for expecting parents. There are some general guidelines soon-to-be parents can follow to make the transition to parenthood smoother. Expecting parents can feel RESTed UP with these thoughts. R - reprioritize. Before baby is born reprioritize your expectations. High expectations can create more anxiety and frustration so focus on what is absolutely necessary. Strategize ahead of time on how you will manage the everyday stuff like laundry, cleaning, sleep and time for self. Keep your list small and avoid making parenting a goal-oriented project. E - eye out for depression. Many women - and many men - experience some degree of post-partum blues so be ready for it. Partners, watch out for symptoms and get professional help if the symptoms threaten parental functioning and infant well-being. Remember to be easy on yourself - postpartum recovery takes time.
S - support. One of the hardest parts of parenthood is that it is a 24/7 service that brings with it physical and emotional discomfort. Find some tools before your baby is born to help calm and support you when your nerves feel fried. Make a list of people you know you can count on to help. Giving up on doing everything yourself is one of the healthiest (and sometimes most difficult) things to do. Accepting support is incredibly beneficial, but you have to be pro-active about asking. Family, friends, breathing, date night and grounding practices are helpful in getting you through the transition. T- trust yourself. As new and absolutely overwhelming as this experience can be, trust yourself. Parenting books and websites can be useful in giving you pointers, but ultimately it’s your own wise and loving heart that will guide you in doing what is right. U - use humor. Make light of your own parenting experiences and avoid taking yourself too seriously by doing your best
Maritime Greyhound Adoption Program
Are you a forever home? www.mgap.ca
to find humor through the exhaustion. Acknowledge every moment – good and frustrating – as natural and normal. P - perspective. Wouldn't it be great if infants came with instruction books? Recognize that your parenting journey will be 100% unique and the randomness of your baby. Allow for unpredictability in your daily routine and accept that you won’t always get things right. Embrace the transition and set realistic plans about getting out, self-care, sleep, household chores and cooking. This week find your own way to transition into parenthood and enjoy the journey. 0006

IN THE GARDEN GARDENING AND HOPE Gardening is a profession of hope. ~Brian Brett. At this time of year that quote is especially significant as most gardeners are engaged in planting bulbs for spring flowering; confident that despite howling gales, thaw and freeze, depths of snow and sub zero temperatures, these beauties will rise from their drab dead looking bodies and provide the most welcome of sights as we emerge from the challenges of winter weather. All of the Narcissus family are rejected by deer; nearly all of the others are choice picks on their menu. The general rule of thumb is to plant bulbs at a depth that is three times the height of the bulb and there are plenty of devices that make planting a breeze if the ground is relatively free of rocks. The most satisfactory method, and one that is most pleasing to the eye come spring, is to thoroughly dig a circle about three feet in diameter, picking out the rocks and largest stones; a good mixture of
compost, manure and bone meal can be dug into this circle and five bulbs placed in a cross formation about ten inches apart within the prepared ground. This leaves plenty of room for the expansion that will happen over the next few years; the cross formation is a wonderful reminder of the Resurrection… surely, the dramatic emergence of the gifts of the garden is miraculous! All of this planting is best done before the end of October, earlier is best as it gives an opportunity for some root system to be established before freeze up. Many folk cover their perennial plants with fir boughs etc., any covering should not be done until the ground is well frozen, then the covering will keep the ground frozen until spring. Thawing out during winter is not an ideal situation, the covering is supposed to protect the ground from just that. Fall is a grand time to clear the flower beds of weeds and to cut back perennials to about six inches, though many like to leave all the foliage on, doing so provides a very cozy home
to over wintering pests; removing all dead leaves and cleaning up is a great preventive measure against pest infestation next year. A light covering with good compost will protect German Iris from severe winter damage, though you have to hop to it early in the spring to partially uncover the rhizomes before they suffer from rot. This is my last column for the year and as Thanksgiving will shortly be upon us I would like to express my thanks to... the Community Gardeners for their generous donations of fresh food to the Food Basket; to the Hampton Herald for their willingness to provide a wonderful means of communication within our c o m mu n i t i e s and to God for all the blessings that we enjoy. Blessings. 0045 Betty Kennett, Resident Green Thumb

SELF ESTEEM STRESS WITHOUT DISTRESS The relationship between self esteem and stress management is a close one. If you handle stress poorly, the damage to your self esteem can be extensive. The impact of any stressful event is influenced by how we cope with it. Coping pertains to thoughts, feelings or behaviours that are used to manage stress. Self esteem, or the amount of value we place upon ourselves, can influence how we cope with stressful situations. Self esteem does not predict the frequency of stressful experiences or stressful thoughts. However, if you have lower self esteem, you most likely experience a greater level of stress. You are way too hard on yourself. You get frustrated for not being able to control your reactions better… which in the end only makes you and your situation much, much worse. Focusing on external stresses leaves no room for inner growth. Inner development is imperative for healthy self esteem. It leads to peace and happiness.
Choose to be controlled by stress and you are doomed! So, how do you lighten up? Control your stress level? Become more at peace? *Manage yourself: Create pleasantness or unpleasantness. It is often our inability to manage ourselves that gets us into trouble. Assume control over your own being and watch as you begin to cope better. *Gain Perspective: Others look so happy. Does that mean they are doing something differently than you? The quality of your life does not depend on how simple or complex it is; it depends on how you look at it. These happy people are looking at the positive side and so can you. *Transform the Inner You: The quality of your life is not measured by the clothes you wear or the bank balance you have. Instead, it depends on how peaceful and content you are inside. *Don’t Lose Perspective: Stress is a natural by-product when we lose perspective of what life is all about. We
may be having a pretty good day, but just one wrong thought or emotion destroys everything. Do not let a bad moment turn into a bad day. *Mind Your Thoughts: Our minds have become society’s trash can. You have a choice about what to take and what to discard. Throw negativity as far away as possible. *Get Your Mind to Relax: Various factors affect our day. How did you sleep last night? What activities are on your agenda? Our level of relaxation can make all the difference. Being relaxed will help us think clearly and cope well. A bit of stress is necessary. It motivates us. How you choose to deal with stress determines if you make a heaven or hell out of yourself. Martha Chown 0027 Mental Health Facilitator/ Coordinator

KINGSTON LSD NEWS Over the recent months your LSD Advisory Committee interacted with the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure to try and resolve the traffic issues at the Kingston 4 Corners. We continue to hear complaints about visibility and at time, treacherous traffic conditions. It is safe to say that no one will argue that this busy intersection is one that is dangerous to traffic as well as to patrons of the store and students at the school! Last week we
exchanged emails with Minister Bill Fraser about the possibility of adding some signage and better controls but unfortunately, the intersection does not meet a number of criteria which would allow to move our proposal to a successful conclusion. Your Advisory Committee will continue to push the matter forward. On another note, our LSD Committee chair Mr. Glen Baxter was recently elected as the vice chair of the Fundy Regional Service Commission (RSC9).

This reflects very well on all residents of the Peninsula. The RSC9 is a group made up of mayors from (GBW, SJ, Kennebecasis Valley and St. Martins) as well as four of the LSD Chairs in Southern NB. The government has delegated its authority to the RSC to manage waste disposal, planning, recreation, fire and policing. If you live East (from the centre line) of the Williams Road, you must vote on this very important upcoming initiative. Members of your Advisory Committee have been part of a group made up of LSDs around the Hampton area along with its municipal representatives working together on a regional recreation facility project. It is critical that, you the reader, not compare this initiative to another recent so called Arena project. This is something completely different. There has been a lot of very good and well thought out work done on this over the past few years and finally, we as residents can receive the information we will need in order to vote as informed citizens. Because this could potentially affect our residential tax rate (only residents East of the Williams Road) you must become informed and then vote. Do not let someone else make a decision for you. Your LSD Advisory Committee has chosen to adopt a neutral opinion but we must encourage you all to attend the information session at the Kingston Parish Hall on October 11 at 7:00pm. The vote will take place at the same location on October 25 between 2:00 and 8:00pm. We will see you there. Steve Gourdeau for The LSD of Kingston. 0026

Elementary School unveiled their beautiful Human Rights Mural entitled “John’s Dream”. The Foundation was pleased to assist with the funding of this project, which was facilitated by Kathy and Sue Hooper in conjunction with the HES Staff. In August the Foundation moved the John Peters Humphrey cabinet and artifacts from the Hampton High School Library to the new exhibition space in the Kings County Museum. We wish to thank HHS Librarian Shane MacMillan for caring for the cabinet and contents for many years. The Foundation hopes that more people will be able to see the artifacts and learn about John Peters Humphrey at the new location.

GONE FISHING TIME TO CATCH A DINOSAUR!
Now that we are officially into the Fall season, leaves begin to change, days get shorter, temperatures cool down, and the fishing heats up! Here in our backyard on the Kennebecasis River, the sturgeon fishing season is just beginning and it may be one of the most unique and exciting experiences you’ll find on the water anywhere! For me, I love targeting shortnose sturgeon in the Fall. From around the beginning of October on through till the river freezes over, the fishing for sturgeon will get better and better. By the middle of November one could catch 15 or more sturgeon in a day averaging over two and a half feet in length! Where else can one go to experience such amazing fishing? Well, for sturgeon, there is nowhere else you can go on the east coast of North America for this experience. Throughout the US sturgeon are an endangered species and fishing for them is not permitted. While other
areas in Canada do have fishing for different species of sturgeon (the White Sturgeon of the Fraser River), we have the only population of shortnose in the world for which there is an open recreational fishery! Unlike with most lakes, ponds or rivers where the fishing season ended on September 15, the lower Kennebecasis River, nearly up to Bloomfield is tidal water. Here you can fish all year long with no fishing license required if you are doing catch and release fishing. If you are looking to keep any fish, be sure to be aware of the size and limit regulations! One important rule many may not be aware of is that in tidal waters, you do require a provincial fishing license to keep any sport fish. If you want to catch yourself a dinosaur (sturgeon have been around for millions of years), be prepared to release it again. In order to retain a sturgeon, it has to be 120 cm, which means a fish that is over 50 years old.

Only the very oldest in the population would reach this length and they are hard to find, so 99.5% of sturgeon caught are released again, after taking a picture to keep the memory of course! To fish for sturgeon, just load up a strong hook with nightcrawlers, use a weight to get it to the bottom and let it sit there. Sturgeon are bottom feeders and will eat the worm off the floor of the river. If you, or someone you know, would like to give it a try and isn’t sure where to start, feel free to contact me to book a time and I’ll take you out! 0034

LIVE WELL A Buddhist saying says: “When the student is ready, the Teacher will appear!� I have found it to be true, that the right time for the message is as important as the message itself. How is it that an individual can hear a message over and over again for many years and then, one day, it finally resonates within them? A definition of insanity is said to be doing the same things over and over expecting different results. Until one day, the individual sees the solution with great clarity and cannot understand why it took so long, when the answer was there all along. The answers to why the solution was not seen before are varied: stubbornness, determination to prove others wrong, shame and embarrassment, the desire to be right or wanting to do it our way, and so on. Individuals might experience great pain and have significant losses and still not be able or willing to see what others can see so clearly. For example, someone living in an abusive relationship could be encouraged
CHANGE
and counselled to leave the abuser by family, friends, professionals, and so on; yet, that individual might keep clinging to the hope that the partner will change if only they can find the partner right help! All the while the abuse continues. Consider also an individual who wants to become financially solvent. He/she consolidates loans, pays off debts and credit cards, and gets set up on a budget. A year or so later, however, the financial crisis is back, perhaps even leading to bankruptcy. Why? Because the change was only short-lived, superficial, and to avert crisis. In both cases, the “student� was not ready. Sadly, we may see loved ones going through crisis after crisis and feel helpless. The reality is that people change only when they reach “their bottom� and are willing to make different choices. Also, such changes will likely be in a way and time of their choosing and not ours. After waiting a long time, we may ask: “Why bother?� Well, the truth of the
matter is that often we are just gardeners who plant the seeds of change, and though we may not see the fruits of our labor come to fruition when we want, the change we hoped and prayed for may come when we least expect it. Continuing to nag, beg, plead, threaten, cajole or threaten abandonment does not work. Rather, we need to be hopeful, encouraging, and supportive for the time when the individual is ready to make different choices and try new and healing behaviors. Willingness and openness will help the “student� become ready for the “teacher.� 0008

MUSINGS BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ Living in rural New Brunswick is close to idyllic but of course there is always the fly in the ointment! In this case, while it is flying insects, it is wasps/hornets rather than flies however, that are annoying the heck out of us at the office. For some odd reason, in September we came into work one morning to discover several wasps/hornets (I am uncertain which) in our upstairs staff room area. Being a well equipped workspace, they were quickly dispatched with flyswatters and Mikie was called to come in with foam to seal up the suspected entry points. For a couple of days that appeared to have solved the problem. We had one or two still around which were quickly dispatched, but we figured they must have been already inside at the time of foaming. Until . . . Monday morning came and we had killed a couple of dozen by noon! Obviously the problem is a mite bigger than we had hoped. Some investigating identified the source . . . a nest along the roofline with the 2nd story dormer. Time to call in the pros. I know when we are outgunned! Strangely though, these wasps/hornets
have proven very docile. This surprised me, as any previous encounters I have had with wasps/hornets have been with decidedly aggressive beasties! Earlier this summer I was stung in my ear by one when I came out of the garden shed (at which point I discovered the nest over the doorframe) and a few years ago I was attacked by a really nasty individual who flew under my skirt. (That was an exciting story!) These guys just seem to hang out and let you whack them. Not that I am complaining. Anyway, it made me curious, and curiousity naturally led me to do a little research. Turns out that many wasps/hornets are not terribly aggressive unless they are defending the nest. And since the nest was outside and these guys were inside, perhaps that explains why they did not seem very threatening. Of course, we were all very careful not to swat at one until we sure we could kill it! A couple of other interesting things I discovered: •
some areas, such as Germany, they are granted protection to preserve their role in the ecosystem. •
Hornets aren't native to North America, but the European hornet has been introduced to the continent.
Thought for the day: “A slander is like a hornet; if you cannot kill it dead at the first blow, better not to strike at it.” ~ Josh Billings. 0001
Many wasp species are important predators of other insect pests. In
