The Hampton Herald
A few months ago, I had written about the total redesign of our website, to bring you a fresh new look and lots of new content. Unfortunately we are still waiting to get some of the bugs out and who knows how long before it is really ready for prime time, but the development is still progressing and we will be happy to keep you updated. The first seven months of 2014, have not been easy on the print publishing industry with a significant drop in sales, that appears to have hit most local publishers. Whether this is a long hangover from the past winter or more of a permanent trend, we will have to wait and see. Since early August we are certainly seeing an upward trend that is promising, but only time will tell for sure. In other news, “The Jet� appears to be headed for a banner year in apple eating. I am reasonably sure that he has scarfed in the range of 12 apples per day, despite competition from numerous deer and other apple loving critters. We have even noted a couple of spike horn deer browsing at a tree right next to the house. Fortunately The Jet has not observed this going on or his mild mannered approach to deer might change radically. In even better news, we are currently in the process of having a new bridge
Here for You
installed on the property. This will provide access across the brook that divides the property and allow us to carry out a commercial harvest this winter. Our friends at the Southern New Brunswick Wood Co-op are spearheading this project and the bridge will meet all environmental standards. Along with some further road improvements, this will allow much improved access for Mikie. Even Mikie is unlikely to drive off of a 16 foot wide bridge. Why I could probably even drive over it with my eyes closed. Oh!! Oh!!. A few days ago, we were walking in the woods and just ahead of us two owls flew towards us from each side of the road. We only got a quick glance but with further looking around I spied a third owl sitting 30 feet up in a poplar tree. It was definitely a large barred owl and we watched each other for about 5 minutes and as we started to move along to finish our walk, the owl also decided to join the rest of his family. I have only had one single owl sighting in over 5 years before this one. Hopefully this is a good sign for the future. 0001

HOSPICE SUSSEX GROUP GRIEF SUPPORT Hospice Sussex is offering a Grief Support Group to assist individuals who are experiencing the hard work of grieving and who may be experiencing a wide range of feelings and physical reactions.

This is the power of grief and part of your journey that continues after a loved one has died. Hospice Sussex is offering a free eight-week grief support group where you can find comfort, support, and hope in a safe supportive environment. It will provide education about the grief process and will give you the opportunity to share with others who are grieving. The group will begin on Wednesday, October 8 at 6:30pm and will run for the next seven consecutive Wednesdays.

Ella Brown
Please Join us for a George and Betty (Cunningham) Tays are celebrating their
50th Wedding Anniversary. We, the children, grandchildren/great grandchildren are proud to acknowledge our gratitude and appreciation for their ongoing support to all of us. They met in May 1963 and married in September 1964. Marriage can be difficult at times. Consistent commitment and love for one another has brought them joy today, in watching their blessings they have been given called “Family”. Dad worked many years at the ship yard. Mom worked at the Sussex jewelry store. In 1989 they dedicated themselves to their new business “Marysview Special Care Home”. Mom and Dad are respected within the community for their generosity and volunteer work (Red Hats, Resource Center, Lions Club, Fire Dept). In these golden years “Papa” can be found at the soccer & football field or hockey rink cheering on his grandchildren. “Nan/Gramie” can be found baking with/for her grandbabies and taking care of her beloved animals. With adoration and love, we wish you many more years of Health and Happiness. Love always, Your Family xo

It was wonderful to see so many neighbours, old and new, come out to enjoy the beautiful day! The money raised will be used towards upgrading infrastructure at the Nauwigewauk Community Club so that we can continue to use this great facility for years to come. On that note, we’d also like to see those neighbours again on Saturday, October 4 for the Community Breakfast ($6.50/adults, $3/children), from 8:30-10:30am,

IN THE GARDEN by betty kennett MORE GROWS IN THE GARDEN THAN THE GARDENER HAS SOWN... Never has a truer word been written than these penned by an unknown writer; of course there are both positive and negative aspects to this reality. I have some magnificent crab apple trees that have grown from fallen fruit and are now well over 20 feet high. They produce the most glorious display of blossoms each spring against the backdrop of deep scarlet leaves and an abundance of crimson fruit that produce a truly succulent jelly. Another of the freebies are the brambles that have appeared as I have cleared away overcrowded, uninvited, alders, golden rod and the like; the blackberries now reside in my freezer, ready for mid-winter indulgences. Those fortunate enough to inherit these beauties should make a point of cutting the canes that bore fruit right down to the ground, they will never bear again and if they are allowed to remain in place will definitely impair the new growth next year. If your resources run to a load of very mature manure or mushroom compost an application of the same around the canes will yield berries of massive proportions, sweet and juicy. As we begin reluctantly to think of the coming of winter it’s a rewarding practice to take some time wandering around the garden and taking a good hike in the woodlands and marshes that we are so blessed to have in our area; all sorts of neat seed pods and fruits from the forest can be garnered for dried flower arrangements and crafts, the available bounty is endless The negative aspects of reaping where you have not sown are apparent in the ‘weed’ type of product, chief amongst the nasties is the clinging burdock; these chaps are the bane of every pet owner as they cling by clusters on even the shortest coat and are a pain for both pet and owner to remove. War needs to be raged on these weeds and the resulting bodies should be sent to Crane Mountain in the compost bins to be heated to the point where they can no longer reproduce. Despite our
best endeavours, many will manage to thwart even the most vigorous eradication methods and will pop up again next spring… not to worry! The young shoots make for very good eating and can be included in stir fries or blanched, with a cream sauce; the young leaves make good eating when used as spinach and even the roots are quite palatable when stripped of their outer casings and fried. These versatile chaps won’t have a chance to produce their irritating seed if the industrious cook keeps on the job! Many very effective medicines have been made from this irritating plant. As with the unsown seed, there’s a good and bad side to almost everything! Enjoy… blessings. 0038

There’s no doubt that summer is over and winter will soon be arriving with all the usual storms that come with it.
The first thing on your fall to do list is to clean your gutters. It may seem like a spring or summer job, but now is the perfect time to get ahead of the game and give them a quick cleaning before the snow and ice settles in. This will help to make sure that melting snow and ice will have a quick route to the ground and away from your foundation.

Often forgotten, it’s recommended that you change your furnace filter once a month during the winter time. This helps keep the air flowing and your furnace working at maximum efficiency which means less oil burning to keep you warm. If your shed is a mess, or just too small for all the tools and equipment it holds, now is a great time to push the lawn mower to the back and pull out the snowblower and snow shovels. There’s no reason to wait until the first big snowstorm when it’s freezing cold to get ready for winter. Do it now while there’s still some warmth in the air. Gaps around windows, doors and electrical outlets can let cold air sneak into your house. Plugging these holes can help save money on

wallet when you bring down your heating bills. A 5/2 Programmable thermostat lets you set a different temperature for the weekdays and the weekend. You can set it to turn the heat down while you’re at work and while you’re in your bed at night. How low you want your heat to go depends on you. The lower it is the longer it will take to heat back up, but the more money you’ll save. Just don’t freeze the pipes while you’re at work. Maybe your Christmas lights are still up from last year, if so now is a great time to check them and make sure the bulbs are all working. And while it may be a little early now to put them up, it may be a good idea to tackle in the middle of November while it’s still just nippy and not downright freezing. It will definitely be easier than trying to trapse through the snow if you leave it for too long.

LISTEN IN by Jeff liberty THIS SIDE OF THE SNOW I interviewed the spellbinding songbird and valley girl Marissa Rignanesi about her most recent album “This Side of the Snow” and her musical journey thus far. Read it here and remember to support your local music scene. Jeff - What can you tell us about your songwriting? Is it something you do daily or only when you feel inspired? Marissa - When I first started writing, it was very much about what I happened to be experiencing in the moment and I was very influenced by the music I happened to be listening to at that particular time. I was testing the waters. It was my outlet to talk about what was going on in my life, what I was seeing or feeling, in a way that felt very safe. Now that I’m feeling more comfortable in my own songwriting shoes and music style I’ve been able to look beyond what is happening to me personally and tell
stories that aren’t necessarily about something that took place in my life yesterday. I don’t have a schedule for it, but if I see something or think of a line, I write it down – I have a book of “ideas” that I come back to when I’m feeling inspired. Some of them come together really quickly; some of them I feel will always be a work in progress. Jeff - What are your future plans as a songwriter, recording artist and performer? Marissa - My fiancé and I have some plans to start co-writing and playing together more, so stay tuned for that project! I grew up playing the piano and have recently been doing more shows with the keys instead of just my guitar. The next album (which I have no timeline for just yet) will definitely feature more piano in the songwriting. Jeff - What advice would you give to a young inspiring songwriter today that you wish someone would have told you when you started? Marissa - Play your songs and play
what you want. I spent a lot of time when I first started out thinking that I had to play other people’s music so that the audience wouldn’t leave. I was afraid they wouldn’t like my songs. But the best feedback you can get is to play them live for anyone who will listen. Don’t be afraid of the reaction, take it and use it to make your songs even better than they already are. And don’t be afraid to ask questions and get out into the music community. It’s a group of people who share your love of music and I have never had someone not want to help.

NAUWIGEWAUK DARLING SENIORS NEWS On September 3, 2014 nineteen members of the Nauwigewauk Darling Seniors met at the Nauwigewauk Hall and travelled by car to visit the Clifton Royal Alpaca Farm on the Williams Road in Clifton Royal. Owner, Chris Esliger was a very gracious hostess and seeing the various coloured alpacas in the barn and out in the pasture was a real delight. Our visit followed a heavy rain, which gave a sparkle to the grass and trees and with a slight breeze blowing, the young baby Crias and their mothers were enjoying a nice run in the paddock for their daily exercise. The Alpacas have various colours, which when the fibre is spun into yarn, there is a large amount of fibre ready for the weaver or hand knitting artist. Chris gave a very interesting talk on the history of the Alpacas from their
home country in South America. Later she offered a visit to home, which was a real pleasure for knitting enthusiasts as various colours of fibre were already in skeins waiting for the hands that would produce mitts, hats, socks or scarves. Later, the seniors travelled to Reed’s Diner for a noon meal. This is a very unique dining experience and many of our members will be returning to spend time reading all the signs on the wall. These signs offer advice, give warnings and tell a lot about human nature. The food and service was great and the staff gave the seniors a real good time. Who could ask for more! We will all remember this trip and everyone thanks Isobel Wanamaker, Trip Convenor for her dedication to the club. Respectfully submitted, J. Hill. 0036

FINANCIAL HEALTH & WEALTH Plan, Execute and Achieve Your Financial Freedom
Do You Need A Financial Health Check‐up? A recent survey by the Canadian Payroll Association indicated that more than 51% of employed Canadians would find themselves in difficulty if their paycheque were delayed by only one week.

interest in excess of 20% per year) and you are contributing to RRSP’s (earning 5% per annum) you are losing a great deal of money! Another significant area of change has to come from how we manage our disposable income; are you one of those commuters that stop at the corner for a coffee on the

economy? Simple – change your way of thinking. Changing times call for changing attitudes. Today, the average family income has not increased as much since 1985 as the price of vehicles, homes, groceries and other necessities have increased. Savings for the average family are almost nonexistent and most will have to try to retire with only the Canada Pension Plan to support them. Institutions and the retail sector have created the easy payment plan, and unfortunately, most Canadians have fallen for this simplicity; you can own just about anything for just one small monthly payment! If you were to take a hard look at what you are really paying for that item though, you likely wouldn’t buy it. A $1,000 television can be purchased for only $39 per month for 36 months; at 28.8% per annum though, you end up paying a whopping $1,504 for that TV.

How about re‐financing your home to pay down high interest credit card debt? Sure it looks like a great idea at face‐value, but if you do not have the discipline to throw away those credit cards, you will certainly end up in the same position a few years down the road, and in addition to having the credit card debt back, you will have a higher mortgage balance too.

HONOURING OUR MERCHANT NAVY VETERANS On Sunday, September 7 the Royal Canadian Legion Peninsula Branch #62 in Moss Glen held a Memorial Service honouring Merchant Navy Veterans as part of the recognition for the 75th Anniversary of the declaration of the WWII. Canada’s Merchant Navy played a critical role both overseas and closer to home during WWI and WWII. Our Merchant Navy frequently navigated the deadly waters of the north Atlantic between North America and Britain in order to deliver the essential materials needed to help secure victory in both world wars. England had been so badly bombed that there were many shortages, especially of meat and critical supplies. The government decided to enlist, or commission, the merchant ships to carry those supplies overseas. The Merchant Navy went to war on September 3, 1939. Many of the young men were not of age to join the armed forces; some as young as sixteen years old, when they embarked on their first ship. Anyone who wanted to serve was accepted, no questions asked. Of the 12,000, who faithfully served in
President Terry Campbell and Past President Jim Haslett were escorted by Sgt at Arms Marvin Saulnier for the formal laying of the wreath in memory of all Merchant Navy who lost their lives. Canada’s Merchant Navy during World War II, 1,629 lost their lives; that’s one seafarer in eight. For that, we are forever indebted to our Merchant Navy. President Terry Campbell and Past President Jim Haslett were escorted by Sgt at Arms Marvin Saulnier for the formal laying of the wreath in memory
of all Merchant Navy who lost their lives. During the closing remarks Terry Campbell gave words of thanks to all those who attended the ceremony and explained that this was a personal ceremony for him as his grandfather was killed when his ship was torpedoed in WWI. 3128

ASK THE CHEF by Colin sifton MAKE OR BREAK THE ROAST Colin Sifton from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering here again with an answer to your question. This past week I had a few people ask me on how to keep their roasts from shrinking and drying out, what is the best temperature to
cook a roast and what seasonings they should use. The big secret to cooking a roast is in the temperature. The biggest mistake people make is cooking at a high temperature. A roast should be cooked slowly at a temperature of about 225 degrees for a longer period. A lot of people cook a roast at 300 to 350 degrees, but in the end they lose 25

to 30 percent of the size of your roast and with the price of food these days who has that much to throw away. Meat cooked at a lower temperature for longer will still shrink but but only about 11 percent. Cooking it slower will also keep your roast more moist. Another thing that most people do not do when cooking a roast is allowing the roast to rest for at least five minutes before cutting into it. When the roast comes out of a very hot oven, it is very tight and the moisture is just bursting to get out. Think about a hot dog on a barbecue. It grows , swells and eventually splits. Your roast is basically doing the same but does not split because to the fibbers keeping it together. As that hotdog cools, the swelling goes down and becomes a bit more firm. Same with your roast but with the roast all the moisture incorporates back into the fibre leaving a more tender and moist roast. Think about all that juice on your cutting board or in the platter after you have cut your roast. This was because you did not let it rest long enough. When cooking a roast, I often do a rub instead of a marinade. My rubs often include some form of mustard like dijon, chopped garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper. I mix this in a bowl then rub it all over the roast at least 30 minutes before I would start cooking my roast. Don’t be shy with any of these ingredients. Don’t worry about having too much, your roast will only take what it needs. Another factor when cooking meat is that you should buy the right cut of meat. If you buy lower quality of meat, these trick will help. If you buy good quality of meat like a prime rib or a ribeye, these tricks will make a really big difference. You will find it more moist and a very low amount of shrinking which in turn will give you better bang for your buck.

OBITUARIES CALLAGHAN, Jessie Alexander It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Jessie Alexandra (Sandy) Callaghan, 85, at her home in Hampton NB, on August 24, 2014. Born in New Waterford in May 1929 to John and Jessie MacLeod, she was a graduate of Sydney Academy and the Glace Bay General Hospital School of Nursing. Sandy was married in 1950 to Alban J (Smokey) Callaghan, an officer in the Army Corps of Engineers. Ten children and numerous postings across the country later, Sandy and Smokey moved back to the Maritimes in 1964, settling into their family home on the Kennebecasis River in Hampton. During her career, Sandy worked as a Registered Nurse at many hospitals across Canada, retiring in 1993 from the New Brunswick Department of Health and Community Services. She was an avid reader, loved music, travel, and throughout her life was keenly interested in politics. Sandy was predeceased by her husband Smokey in 1979, her parents, and her siblings David, Russell, Isabelle, King, Roderick, John A, and John T.

SPECIAL DEDICATION SERVICE IN SOUTHFIELD The Southfield United Church, built in the 1860’s has seen many changes over the years. This was especially so in 1994 when road construction made it necessary to have the church moved. At that time the church was moved back and placed on a basement, which serves as a hall. Also, an extension was added to the back of the building and the interior renovated. As the hall began to be used for suppers and different social times by the community, the congregation realized for safety reasons another entrance/exit was required. In the spring of 2005, the small but determined congregation set out to raise the funds to see this happen. After many fundraisers, such as suppers, bake sales and raffles, as well as many kind donations from friends and family members of the congregation and a grant from the United Church of Canada, we were very pleased to finally be able to complete the work on the entry last year. This summer a new steel roof was installed. The congregation wants to express their appreciation for the great support received for fundraisers which helped make this work possible. Also, a new communion set will be presented by the UCW in memory of Hazel Mercer who was an active member of this congregation for many years. It is with pleasure that we will
dedicate the new entrance, roof and communion set to the glory of God with a special Dedication Service & Celebration at the Southfield United Church on Sunday, September 28 at 2:30pm. Speaker will be the Reverend Karen MacNeill and special music will be provided by Marie Short. Refreshments will follow. All are invited to join with the congregation for this special occasion. 3133

POINT OF VIEW COMEDY VERSUS REALITY After a long day of school or work, who doesn't love to snuggle up on the couch and tune in to their favourite television show? At one time, it was pretty easy to pick a show and watch it from start to finish. It likely had something to do with the fact that there were only three channels to choose from – and one of those was French. Nowadays, there are literally hundreds of programs, and any one of a number of devices with which to watch them on. There's no doubt about it, the way we watch television has changed almost as much as what we choose to watch. When I was growing up in the 80's, it was all about the sitcoms (situational comedy), and there were no shortage of great (and funny) shows to choose from. I don't know about you, but I watch television to be entertained. I love to laugh, and it's a great way to relax and unwind. There were just as many great family
by diane mcmillan
programs to watch. I can still remember rushing home on Friday nights by 9:00pm so our family could watch The Dukes of Hazzard. My brothers loved anything General Lee and I can remember, more than once, asking my mother to “drive like the Dukes.” Little House on the Prairie was another family favourite, and I have photo evidence to prove that I embraced the bonnet trend. Today, the trend in television programming is reality TV a genre that finds its most valuable content in the editing of shameless displays of unknowns as they willingly part with their privacy and dignity for entertainment purposes. There are a handful of these that I watch and enjoy, simply because they're entertaining. Duck Dynasty, Survivor, The Biggest Loser (all their hard work makes me hungry), The Amazing Race and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (it's like a train wreck – I know I should look away, but I can't). Then, there's the exception to my watching for entertainment rule. I can't bring myself to watch the Kardashian family flaunt their
fame and fortune, with not an ounce of talent to back it up. I guess Kim is famous for a leaked sex tape and her big butt. Yup, that's something to be proud of! Television has evolved and image quality has benefited from new technology. However, I'd trade in my remote control and flat screen in a heartbeat, if it meant more sitcoms and less reality TV. Thankfully, new technology has also meant easy access to all the great sitcoms. When I heard my five-year old nephew recently blurted out, “what you talkin' bout Willis?” I knew all has not been lost. It's only been set aside for the next generation to discover. 0032

TAMMY THE TURKEY I'm not much of a country lass. I live over on the Peninsula, not by choice, but because my parents moved when all their kids were supposed to be out on their own. I was just a little late leaving. I'm home for the summer, working at a call center until I return to Ontario for school in the fall. My mother owns chickens. I'm not much of a bird lover, but chickens are quite funny to watch while they roam around the yard.

The Hampton Herald
The other morning, I woke up to a phone call from my mom asking if the door to the chicken coop was closed. I looked out my window and confirmed that it was. She then explained, that the neighbor had emailed wondering if one of our chickens was in her yard. I couldn't wrap my brain around how one of our chickens managed to jump the fence and run across the empty lot next door to the house just on the other side. Our chickens have never left our
yard. With my phone pressed up against my ear I walked down to check on the birds. The neighbor was concerned that one of our roosters that had flown the coop. Confused as to what bird it could've been because both roosters were in their pen. I figured it must of been one of our really fat hens. I trampled across the empty lot still talking to my mother on the phone, walked down to the neighbour’s back door expecting to lure one of the silly hens back home. To my surprise it was not a hen nor a rooster, it was a turkey! A huge wild turkey! I said "Mom, there is a bird here, but it's not one of ours." Mom replied "well....what is it?!" "A turkey!" I exclaimed. Mom being the bird lover she is, was really excited and asked me to take pictures. The turkey didn't seem frightened. It stood at the window peeping into the house. It was a female, hence the name Tammy the turkey instead of Tom. I stood taking pictures when suddenly the big bird started walking towards me. Birds make me nervous in general and so without hesitation I took off running. Left my poor neighbour in the dust to fend for herself. Just a follow up – there have been several sightings of Miss Tammy by others on the Peninsula! She has eluded capture as far as I know. Submitted by Sarah Robertson. 3113
100 WOMEN WHO CARE We held our 4th meeting September 11 at the Norton Village Hall with a great membership turnout. Three charities were chosen to present to our group and they were Sussex Pregnancy Care Centre, Tanya McCrea; Crosswinds, Wanda Steeves; and Hampton Food Basket, Catherine Peacock. Following the presentations our group voted by ballot and we chose to give our collective donation of $6,800 to the Sussex Pregnancy Care Centre (sussexpregnancycare. com). Congratulations and we know this money will help you continue with providing programs for your clientele. Many thanks to Wanda and Catherine for taking the time to come and inform us on what their charities are all about. We had three new members join, bringing our total to date of 68 members and many more have expressed great interest. This is such an easy way to come together for a one hour meeting, four times a year and make a huge impact in our local communities. If you are interested in joining this group of caring women,please go to our website:

Legion Branch #62 has had problems with water runoff from the higher ground behind the building for a number of years. With the help of John Quigley from Kierstead Quigley and Roberts Ltd , Kevin Robertson from Renforth Construction and Ron Scott from Scott Brothers Construction a system was designed, with the use of a French drain combined with footing drains and a surface swale, to deflect the water away from the building and lower the water table around the building. Doherty Tree Service and Excavation, Kingston was awarded the contract and did a superb job. 3110

KINGSTON EQUESTRIAN EVENT On July 19 & 20, despite the aftermath of hurricane Arthur, a first time judged pleasure (jp) and poker ride was held on the Kingston Peninsula. Riders from as far away as Quebec and Nova Scotia loaded up their horses and made the drive to ride the beautiful trails of the Peninsula. A Judged Pleasure Ride is meant to be fun ride with a little competition. It is a great way to get a horse ready for competitive rides over a longer distance. Many riders choose this type of ride to relax a horse normally used for ring work, schooling young horses or for people who do not have the time or interest to condition their horses for endurance rides. The distance is between 10 and 20 miles. With no time constraints the pace is slower and the terrain less strenuous. There is time to enjoy the company of friends, the scenery and even take a few photos. A great job was done by our judge, Roberta Gorham, who donated her time in ensuring all horse and riders finished safe and sound. Day two was a poker ride. Commonly this type of a ride is on motorcycle or ATV but to have little fun, local riders trailered their horses in to draw five
hands of cards along a relaxing trail. Best hand with four aces and a deuce was won by Raven Storey of Oromocto with remaining money donated to Kingston and Hampton Kids Kicking Cancers Relay for Life team. Special thanks to the Iron Order MC for donating their club and familys’ time to taking care of the BBQ and clean up. A big round of applause goes to the Legion committee, the ride site was located at their Moss Glen Legion Branch 62, without allowing us to use their large field and facilities it would have been very challenging to have hosted the two-day event. The Moss Glen Fire Department was also a big help in providing us with a holding tank of water to fill water buckets and sponge the horses off. Along with the legion, local donations from Jordive Ltd, Ernie Gorham’s Turkey Farm, Kingston General Merchants, Reeds Point Pub & Grill, Co-Op, Shur Gain Feeds & Needs, Green Hawk Equestrian Supplies, White Head Country Store and Costco made it possible to present awards; and of course the delicious turkey dinner cooked up by the Wiggins family.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS As we approach a provincial election, we are hearing the usual debates about jobs, the economy, and taxes. Although we probably have varying ideas about the appropriate level of taxation, I think most of us would agree that a social support system is an important part of our society. But I believe, if we are counting on the government to fund every valid social program and financially support every legitimate societal need, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. Many decisions are best made by you and me - private, individual decisions regarding the cause we want to support. Although the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is supported by Hampton Town Council, we have never requested funding from the Town. That is not a decision for the Town to make with taxpayers money. It is a decision for Hampton citizens to make and we have been blessed by the tremendous financial support we have

The Hampton Herald
received from them. From time to time I am approached by someone who asks me “why are you helping people on the other side of the world? We should be helping
people in our own neighbourhood.” My response to that is simple: “yes.” Yes, we should be helping people in
our own neighbourhood. We should also be helping people in Piggs Peak. We are fortunate people, living in an affluent society. We have enough to help both. The election debates I mentioned earlier have raised the question about taxing the wealthy. The prevailing sentiment seems to be that the wealthy should pay their fair share! I’ve often heard it put as simply as “They should pay more”. I won’t argue with that but consider this. If you make $40,000 per year or more, you are in the wealthiest 1 percent of the world’s population! In a global context, we are the wealthy. Maybe we can, and should, do more to help those in need - in our neighbourhoods both near and far. Once again this year, we will be selling apple pies to raise funds for our Grandmother’s Partnership. They are $8 each or 2 for $15. This was a huge success last year. Be sure to get your order in. Pies are ready
to be cooked and are available for pick up on Monday, October 6 at 302 Kennebecasis River Road in Hampton. Delivery can be arranged. For more information call Maureen Robichaud at 832-7522.

MUSINGS by debbie hickey ON REACHING AGE 60: PART 2 A few months ago I wrote about turning 60 and moving into semi-retirement. I spent some time catching up on some long neglected projects, even did some housecleaning (horrors!). Then I started looking around to see what I wanted to do next. I decided that when we got back from vacation
THANK YOU
I would start looking for a part-time job, because I knew I wasn’t going to be happy for long without something to challenge my brain. Lo and behold an opportunity fell right into my lap . . . and right here in Hampton, too. Actually, what happened is Ossekeag had someone leaving to pursue another opportunity and it was then a question of do I hire for the position or do I go back to working full-time. Well, that was an easy choice! So here I am. Semi-retirement obviously wasn’t the right fit at this point in my life. I must be way too young yet. Or perhaps, it is that I really enjoy what we do here at Ossekeag Publishing, and I am especially enjoying being more handson than I have been during the last few years. Print advertising is not an easy business to be in these days, but as a valued high school teacher of
mine commented recently, nothing really worth doing is easy. Or more eloquently than I can put it: “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. Obviously I am a very lucky person. The election has come and gone. Regardless of the results, I hope everyone took the few minutes needed to get out there and vote, because “The government is us; we are the government, you and I.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. 0002
