“PREDICTIONS FOR 2014” So here are a few predictions for the new year!! 1) Climate change will have us see more unexpected weather events, which will cause major disruptions, floods, power outages and other nasty things (this is a technical term used by wimpy forecasters). Batten down the hatches, fire up the generator and hunker down!! 2) New Brunswick, will introduce new wood allocations for the big forestry companies that will still be based on high volume/low value fibre removal from our woodlands. Why is this a recipe for disaster?? A gentleman in Nova Scotia working a mature woodlot that has not been devastated by this high volume/ low value strategy can send $200 of wood value in a single envelope (veneer for guitars). For the same $200 a woodlot owner in New Brunswick will deliver approximately 9,000 pounds of wood to a mill!! Seeking low volume and high value products from our forests is our only salvation for the future. 3) Perhaps not this year, but within a few years fracking for natural gas will take off, regardless of what party is in power!! The

reason... they can’t turn away from the extra revenue being promised. Why is this a bad idea?? Well, the environmental concerns are certainly legitimate, but do you know what really bothers me?? No... well, I will tell you. The government in power will spend that money just as if it was going to last forever, and when the wells are dry we will be desperate once again to find the next resource that we can decimate. Proof of this, is the fact that the Alberta government awash in oil extraction and low unemployment is expecting a $2.8 BILLION dollar deficit for 2013 (Huffington Post)!! What is that province going to do when the oil runs out?? And believe me, our government will act very similarly. 4) The Jet will start a voluntary diet and lose 10 pounds. Are you crazy!! Not a hope of this ever happening!! 5) The missus will suddenly understand the need for more forestry equipment for Mikie to work (play) with!! Are you crazy!! Not a hope of this ever happening!! Best wishes for the new year and I hope the first three predictions never come true!! 0001

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS

As the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership starts 2014, we want to thank all our supporters, especially our Starfish sponsors. Some of you have been sponsors for many years and it is your commitment of ongoing support that allows us to make our commitment to the students in Piggs Peak. Every year we have increased the number of

Hampton students at Fundukuwela and Peak Central high schools. In 2013, we paid school fees for 87 students. For 2014 we are targeting 100! The school year in Swaziland will be starting very soon. We are currently evaluating our list of candidates, setting our budget, and making our final decision on how many young people we can help. We can only do that with your help. Thank you! Beyond the education we provide students, we are also helping to alleviate the severe poverty in the poorest sections of Piggs Peak through the grandmothergogo partnership that Maureen Robichaud has initiated. With the weather we’ve been having lately it’s hard to imagine that it’s the middle of summer in Piggs Peak. But our gogo garden is producing crops of cabbage and spinach that were distributed to the impoverished settlement of Macembeni on Christmas day. The Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is a total community effort. I believe it is unique in the connection it has created between our two towns. “Hampton students” is a term heard often in Swaziland to identify the current and past

students that we have put through school there. Our legacy in the distant African kingdom grows with every student we sponsor. Involvement here at home is widespread – schools, churches, community groups, and individuals all generously donate their time, energy, and funds toward our mission. I would personally like to especially thank all the committee members who work tirelessly in this regard – Lisa Bettle, Jill Darrah, Robert Doucet, Bev Harrison, Ross Henderson, Sue Hooper, Carl MacKenzie, Janalee MacKenzie, Laura Myers, Chris Rendell, Maureen Robichaud and Liz Szalma. They all play an important role in the constant strategizing, administration, and fundraising that are necessary to manage the Partnership. Finally, we would not be where we are without the enormous help we get from our partners in Piggs Peak. Karen and Stuart Mandy, John Lovett, and Linda Mathunjwa are our eyes, ears, hands and feet on the ground; their involvement has been and will continue to be critical to our success. Thank you! Please contact me, Mark Bettle, at bettlem@nbnet.nb.ca with any questions or comments. Like us on Facebook at: facebook.com/hamptonpiggspeak. 0010

ROBERT. G. JONES February 22, 1923 - December 8, 2013

A sincere and special thank you to all who gave support with their love and compassion during our time of grief and mourning, which helped make the Celebration of Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life more meaningful and memorable. Your support of kindness, prayers and to those who sent memorial cards, floral arrangements, cards of sympathy, attending the visitation, online condolences and telephone calls during our bereavement were much appreciated. A special thank-you to the Doctor and Nursing Staff of 3CS of the Orthopaedic Department of SJRH for their excellent care and compassion shown to Bob while a patient. This will never be forgotten. To Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very special and loving caregivers, June Fowler and Stacey Allen, their kindness and thoughtfulness can never be forgotten. Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holy Heavensâ&#x20AC;? took on a new meaning with his caregivers. A special Thank You to the Honorary Pallbearers for their part in Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebration of Life. To Rev. Kelly Hudson Lewis for the comforting Memorial service. To organist, Cheryl Bezanson for her musical renditions and, to Reader, Stephen Law. To Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home, a special thank you to Len Goobie and Dyson Regular for your support and compassion during this time. Thanks to our many wonderful friends and neighbours who gave us comfort with personal visits as well as food donations. All were very much appreciated by the family.

J.P.H. CENTRE FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION What if we were to be able to travel ahead in time and see what Hampton would look like in five years time? I want you to visualize the Courthouse as it has been repurposed. The building has a new use and has been renamed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The John Peters Humphrey Centre for Conflict Resolutionâ&#x20AC;?. High school aged students from across Canada would host international students in discussing and engaging in conflict resolution. Private businesses, government departments, and non-profit groups could make use of the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities and programs. Field trips through local trails and parks, canoeing, pontoon boat rides and live, local entertainment could all be incorporated into programs put on by the centre. A human rights walk could be developed where each article of the UN Declaration of Human Rights would be posted on a permanent sign along the walk. Such a facility could be affiliated with a university and could also qualify for funding from international support such as the Prince of Wales Trust, the Galen Weston Foundation or the Carnegie Endowment.

The economic spin-offs for a centre as described could be very positive. Users would need lodging, meals, gas, and transportation and would buy locally made items. The idea just mentioned is one of several suggested recently by citizens imagining what future uses could lie ahead for the Courthouse. Please take some time over the next few months to talk to your family, friends and neighbours about the possibilities. Engage the mayor and councillors, and your MLA and Member of Parliament with your ideas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the Courthouse to take on a new life. Be a part of the process.

ASK THE CHEF My name is Colin Sifton. I am the owner and Chef down at Holly’s Restaurant on Main Street in Hampton. I have been a Chef for 20 plus years now and everywhere I go people ask me questions about food, food processing and what I would do with different items that they may have grown in their gardens. This is a column to answer any of those questions you may have. Food is my passion and I am always interested in learning more and teaching those who are interested in learning more about the world of food. Recently someone asked me why cashew nuts are so expensive. Like most everything in life, it is all supply and demand, but looking closer into what is a cashew nut, I discovered that it is not actually a nut and where it comes from was a surprise. Cashew nuts are a seed that grows under an inedible fruit called a cashew apple. So this is one of the reasons cashews come with a big price tag. One seed from each fruit. One tree only produces a few hundred fruits so it would take a lot of trees to make it worth processing.

A Big Thank You From

by Colin Sifton

Sheila Greenslade Thank you to everyone who helped out in any way to make my Birthday such a special day. Thanks for attending and bringing the lovely cards and refreshments.

Photo: Wikipedia

The other reason they are high priced is because cashews taste good. It is a very popular nut because of its unique flavour. I couldn’t imagine having cashew chicken made with any other nut. Peanut chicken just would not be the same. A sauce like macahini would not have the same richness without the cashew nut. The cashew nut has to be one of my favourite nuts, not just to munch on, but to cook with as well. Why are they so expensive? The best often is.

So, if you have any questions you have always been curious about and think I may have the answer, send me a note. If you are ever in Holly’s Restaurant and see me, call me over and ask me your questions. If I do not have an answer for you, you can be sure that I will find out before you come back. If you have a question you’d like Colin to answer, send it in to: editorial@ossekeag.ca. 2569

HOW TO PREPARE FOR A POWER OUTAGE Emergency Preparedness: Emergency Kit Just before Christmas the power went out for many people in New Brunswick as a brutal four day ice storm swept across our province. It turned driveways into skating rinks and covered trees and power lines with thick, heavy ice. December’s ice storm will be remembered and talked about for years, but the question on everyone’s mind is what can I do to be more prepared next time. With another few months of winter and no shortage of cold weather in sight it’s a good question to ask. While most of us have everything we need during a power outage, it’s usually scattered throughout the house. A power outage in the middle of winter is no time to try to steal the batteries from the TV remote. Especially if it’s already dark. Having a good emergency kit ready and onhand can be the difference between a power outage being just mildly frustrating rather than down right annoying and stressful. Flashlights and spare batteries are a must, and probably the first thing you’ll want to find after the lights go out and you’re left in the dark. It’s best to keep

your flashlight in a place that is easy to find when your house is pitch black. Ideal locations would be the top drawer of a nightstand or a cupboard in the bathroom, most of us can find our way to the bathroom in the dark. The rest of your emergency kit can be kept in an out of the way closet, under the bed in a plastic tote, or anywhere you have extra space. The size of your kit is up to you, but most sources agree that the essentials are: Water (2L per person per day, plan for three days); canned food, granola bars, nuts, other no-cook foods; a manual can opener; battery powered radio (preferably with the same size batteries as your flashlights); extra batteries; extra flashlights; first aid kit; infant formula

and prescription medication; extra car and house keys; small bills; emergency plan and contact information. Once you have your essentials gathered up and squirreled away for the worst to come you might want to give some thought to some other items that can make it a little easier to live without power. Candles (matches and a lighter also) are a great way to fill a room with some ambient light, never leave candles unattended and make sure to blow them out before going to bed. A few extra warm blankets wouldn’t go amiss when the cold starts to creep in. A small camp stove to boil water and prepare simple meals is a great thing to have on hand. Try using it beforehand to familiarize yourself with its operation and never use it indoors. Phone chargers that plug into your car is a quick and easy way to keep your phone’s battery fully charged. A bottle of hand sanitizer makes it easy to keep clean without running water. With no other entertainment, available a deck of cards and a few search-a-words and Sudoko pads would be a good way to pass the time. After the power has gone out, unplug whatever you can in your house, turn all light switches off, except one inside and one outside, and if you have electric heat turn the thermostats down low. It is easier for the power company to restore power to the grid when it is not under load. With the amount of snow and ice that we are likely to get over the coming months you’ll be glad to be prepared if the power goes again for more than a day or two. 2568

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET For 29 years the Food Basket has been in the happy position of providing a sizable quantity of food and gifts to every family who requested help at Christmas, no one has ever been denied! This is a record that this community can be justly proud of; your kindness and generosity seems to know no bounds and the staff and clients who use and work at the facility are supremely grateful. George Stevens and his merry men did their usual fabulous job of preparing the hall for assembling the boxes. This year 178 families received help and a great time was had in preparing and dispensing the goodies, the Lions Club again assisted in this as well as providing much financial support through the year. The children from Hampton Elementary school’s grade 5 walked up with their gifts and the high school provided

food and service, students hefting the boxes and assisting the clients. Members of Street Hope from Saint John, with local volunteers, treated clients to hot chocolate, cookies and appropriate music as they waited. Thank you all. We are supported on a regular basis all year by many local businesses; Spuds and Things and Kredl’s with baked goods, Pizza Delight, Robins Donuts/Submarines with mystery packages of their tasty products, Sobeys etc., and help from many other sources. This Christmas we received 170 dozen eggs from Durnians and 25 turkeys from Greg Haley; the list of donors is, fortunately, too long to list. Our treasurer, Sally Evans, has retired after many years of faithful and dedicated service and we are extremely grateful for the vast amount of time and professional service that she has donated to this outreach. God bless

you Sally and may 2014 be a banner year for you and your family. We are delighted to have snagged a very able and willing replacement for this allimportant position; Philippe Gallant will be working hard to have income tax receipts ready ASAP and we thank him for adding this major job to all that he currently does to help out at the Basket. Donations may be sent to Hampton Food Basket, 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton NB E5N 5B4. Receipts will be provided for all donations. Next preparation day will be on January 15 starting at 8:00am and clients will be served on January 16 from 8:30 until 11:00am. Emergency numbers are Catherine 9430158, Janice 832-4340, Debbie 832-4039 and Betty 832-7526. ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it, unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me....’. 0029

Rather, I'd like to use the exposure to share my thoughts and experiences with food. I intend for this to be an educational experience, not just for readers, but also for me. I have no formal education in anything related to agriculture, nutrition or even business, so if you read something that offers the opportunity to teach me something or start a conversation, please do not hesitate to send me an email. This is my first article,and I hope you will read regularly. I took a break for a few days to ring in the new year in Toronto. It always shocks me when I walk the streets. I can't help but watch people. I definitely belong in a rural setting. I observe parents with their children, people that fit stereotypes, people who seem to cling to their brand name possessions and I try to imagine their connection with food. I especially like to take note of what I see people eating. I wonder if they have any idea where their food came from. Do they think about what they eat? Do they eat to be full or do they eat to be healthy?

Time in the city makes me think about the bubble I live in. I experience people everyday who don't think about what they eat, but the truth is that even the least food-conscious New Brunswickers drive past farms on a regular basis. In a city like Toronto, there are people who don't even know that a carrot is a root, people who would not have a hope of recognizing a broccoli plant. We should be grateful for this awareness we were born into. I have decided to spend my life trying to reconnect people with their food. We are all a part of this planet and we shouldn't think of ourselves as being above any part of it. Our bodies grow when we put food and water in them. Water comes from the ground and food comes from elements of the earth combining with water and a seed. We grow from some pretty amazing parts of the Earth and we should never forget this in our daily actions. It is so important to take care of every part of humanity and humanity to come. What I am really trying to say is that we are what we eat. It seems obvious, but I encounter a never-ending stream of people who have health problems, yet see no correlation between their wellness and the food that enters their bodies. My goal is to change that for this generation. Who's with me? 2567
