“SENIOR” Last year I passed a birthday milestone that by every measurement known to me, qualifies me as a “Senior”. But somehow, that term just doesn’t seem suited to who I am. Yes, I am a senior member of Ossekeag Publishing. Yes, I am the senior IT person at Ossekeag Publishing. But... I have no concept of what retirement is about. I have no interest in sitting down and playing bingo. I have no idea even of what I am going to be when I grow up. I have no reason to even want to grow up. Life is grand just the way it is. Life is too busy with finalizing the redesign of our publications and the launch of a whole new Ossekeag venture to even think about picking up my knitting needles and yarn. Throw in a hundred years of work to restore our Acadian Forest and what I really need are more chainsaws, tractors, logging equipment and have absolutely no interest or time to be a senior. Just last night, “The Kid Who Lives Here With No Bedroom” challenged me to an Xbox foot race. Now at eight years old, she is a very energetic kid, but by the time I crossed the finish line ahead of her... she was covered in my dust. So what senior gets a kick out of out racing an eight year
old?? Only one who has never matured or grown up!! Now to be fair, she did beat me in the soccer kick, lost in the javelin throw, beat me in bowling, lost in table tennis and surprisingly beat me in the deciding event, boxing. But it must of been a lucky punch, because I know that I can take this kid!! So I am now setting up “The Immature Seniors Club”. It is a special club for people who can’t or won’t grow up or grow old. Yes, having a few aches and pains is okay. Yes, missing some hair is okay. Wrinkles... sure, no problem. But, you must have a real zest for life. Whatever limitations you have, can and will be overcome. Your horizons are far, far off and you live like you will still be around for another hundred years. Sure, we can admit to our mortality. We realize that we are one clogged artery away from being dead. We realize that wills and other planning needs to take place for the time when we aren't around, but then, we forget all that stuff and get on with doing stuff that is fresh, challenging and worth living for. Membership is totally free as long as long as your maturity index approximates that of elementary school. Sign up today!! 0001

I heard hearing loss and dementia could be related… is that true? Gradual hearing loss is a common symptom of aging, but in some people it may also be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia, a new study suggests. The risk of dementia appears to rise as hearing declines. Older people with mild hearing impairment – those who have difficult following a conversation in a crowded restaurant, say – were nearly twice as likely as those with normal hearing to develop dementia, the study found. Severe hearing loss nearly quintupled the risk of dementia. Hearing loss may lead to social isolation (which itself has been linked to dementia), for instance, or it may interfere with the brain’s division of labor. The brain might have to reallocate resources to help with hearing at the expense of cognition. That may explain in part why straining to hear conversations over background noise in a loud restaurant can be mentally exhausting for anyone, hard of hearing or not. We listen with our ears but hear with ours brains; it is not possible to separate audition and cognition. The two conditions may also share an underlying neuropathological process. A lot of people ignore hearing loss because it is such a slow and insidious process as we age. Even if people feel as if they are not affected, studies are showing that it may well be a serious problem.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS “Without the assistance of foreign NGO's, the support of people like you, and the efforts of others like me in Swaziland, many children would suffer, and many still do. We cannot help them all…. yet I must say, when I see the positive results, the children who complete school, a child who has been sent home from school for lack of fees and the smile on their face when we manage to pay their school fees so they can rejoin their classmates, the improvement in the life of a child who now sees a slightly better future, these are the rewards. With an education they have an edge. Life will still be difficult for them but they have the thin end of a wedge, slim but an edge nonetheless which will help them to overcome the challenges they still have to face. These are the things that make it all worthwhile.” These are the words of John Lovett in Piggs Peak. Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership committee members are fortunate to receive frequent correspondence and information from John; Karen and Stuart Mandy; and Linda Mathunjwa. These are our friends in Swaziland who keep us informed of the problems and needs there
– some of the stories are heartbreaking. But we also hear the success stories; the stories of of optimism and hope that are the result of the contribution we are making. These are our rewards. The purpose of this bi-weekly article is to share some of these stories. However, there are far too many to tell within these constraints of time and space. We are trying to provide more current information through our Facebook page. You may want to visit us at: facebook. com/hamptonpiggspeak and “like” the page. This will feed you more up-to-date information on what is going on within our partnership. It also provides a forum
for you to provide comments and ask questions about what particularly interest you. A fun way to provide financial support to the Partnership is through the Hampton 50/50. After the winner is paid, half the proceeds go to the Partnership while the other half go to community projects. For instance, $1450 has gone to the Hampton school food programs. By the time you read this the pot should be over $500! That will give you $250 for your own special project. You can play every week for only $2 at Hampton Pharmasave or Kredl’s Corner Market.

LEAH MACGOWAN MEMORIAL CURL RAISES $8,700 First, let me apologize for being so late getting this update published. The 19th Annual Leah MacGowan Memorial Curl for MS was held in November 2013 with 12 teams having some friendly competition with the winning team being Al Titus, Sue Titus, Brent Stanley and Katie Searle. All monies raised through this event have been forwarded onto the MS Society Dartmouth , NS and are used for patient services/research for MS. To check out all that is available and what and where our funds go, check out their website at: mssociety.ca. Over the years we have raised approximately $100,000. Sadly, it was the last year for this event. There are many who need to be thanked for all their help and support over the years. The most important would be the MacGowan family for allowing us to honour and keep Leah’s memory alive. Many of the family were also involved in the curling funspiel through the years. Many, who did not know her, learned about her and what a gracious and wonderful woman she was. To all the
participants who took part over the years; thank you to Holly Singh, who every year donated the soup for lunch, and this year to Colin Sifton of Holly’s Restaurant; Roberta Henderson, Shirley Stanley, Marilyn Craft for your years of baking, thank you; and to family who supported the event each year. A special thanks to my husband Mark for everything and to my brother Brad for his excellent organizational help. To all the many many businesses and individuals who donated prizes and auction items, or pledged the players -
thank you. I am going to miss this event immensely and am sorry to see it end. We will be putting a team in the Walk for MS on May 25. It is being held at Rothesay High School this year and if anyone would like to join our team please register at: mswalks.ca. Our team name is Leah’s Friends to keep Leah MacGowan’s memory going. Feel free to join us or register as individual or another team. Any questions regarding the walk, please contact me at 832-3236 or leahcurlforms@ gmail.com. Tanya Henderson. 2668

LISTeN IN by Jeff Liberty The Poet and the Songbird Slamming and Singing with Clyde A Wray and Debbie Adshade: Last week, I met up with poet extraordinaire Clyde A Wray and songwriter Debbie Adshade at Wray’s uptown haunt, the Magnolia Café, to talk about their work together and life over cappuccinos and my regular green tea and honey. Adshade is actually a nearby neighbour of mine on the Peninsula. I have been fascinated about both these artists as individuals for years now. When I heard they were collaborating, I knew I needed to explore this partnership further. Debbie tells me they first collaborated in the spring of 2011. “We were Facebook friends first”, Debbie says with a laugh. “I gave a reading and Debbie came out and asked if I wanted to do something together”, Clyde continued. Their first collaborative effort was “Between the Dark and the Light". They then followed this up with "Mood Swings". Debbie explains it as “a weaving of spoken word and song”. Throughout our lengthy
conversation, I learn that the process seems to be very much a collaborative effort with the music, lyrical singing and poetry coming together in a very natural and fluid manner. “There is no ego involved; we let the work take over”, Clyde says in expressing their approach. “It is all about the A-ha! (Eureka) moments”! Clyde adds in regard to finding what sounds and seems right for the pair. The duo plays off each other seamlessly, with Clyde’s stirring poetry in a dramatic delivery with a weighty and rich voice I can only liken to the great American actor, James Earl Jones. Debbie, in contrast, sings like an earth-bound angel, playing guitar while she sways back and forth, evoking something between Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell. A show that will captivate you with a journey that is worth the ride. I urge all lovers of song and poetry to take in one of their performances. Both Debbie and Clyde keep a busy individual schedule and work load as well. They both have fascinating projects
on the horizon. Clyde just finished two big productions, where he wears many creative hats in making these projects a success. Debbie’s work with Clyde Wray has also led to her most recent endeavour,”NB Poets”. Debbie has just received a NB Arts Creation Grant to compose 12 songs inspired by New Brunswick Poets. I’m looking forward to that release! To stay in the know, you can find them both on Facebook, YouTube, as well at myspace.com/debdatso (for Debbie) and clydeawray.com. 0041

geT FReSH WITH FooD Healing Psoriasis with Food: We all know someone who suffers from psoriasis, which is a disease that causes dry, scaly patches all over the body which usually itch. Much of what I write is also true about Eczema. I have read about sufferers who have every aspect of their lives influenced by the disease and have even become suicidal. Having dry, flakey, lizard-like skin on exposed parts of your body can take away our confidence to be in public and affect our personal relationships. Since Psoriasis can also cause inflammation in the joints, many sufferers also have Psoriatic Arthritis. According to the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, the incidence of Psoriasis varies in different regions of the world, affecting about 1% of the US adult population, contrasted with 8.5% of the adult Norwegian population. Many studies have found Psoriasis to have a genetic predisposition. Since both my father and his father developed the disease in their 50's, this subject is of great interest to me. Many medical professionals will tell you that there is no cure for Psoriasis and most prescribe cortisone cream to manage the
disease. The medical consensus seems to be that cortisone should not be relied on long term because of the potential side effects. Cortisone thins your skin and suppresses your immune system. After years of use, your skin can become so thin that the cortisone can be absorbed into your bloodstream. I have read conflicting sources that claim cortisone is perfectly safe if used in moderation, while others, such as the Mayo Clinic, warn of side effects with long term use. From personal experience, I can tell you that Psoriasis does not have to continue to cause pain for so many people. When my father developed Psoriasis, he certainly was not going to settle with cortisone cream for the rest of his life. His research for a cure turned up the work of Dr. John Pagano, who is convinced that "psoriasis is the external manifestation for the body's attempt to throw off internal toxins." Pagano has found that his elimination diet can identify which foods are causing the disease. There are some foods that are common causes such as junk food, vegetables of the nightshade family
by Dave Wolpin
(peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes), saturated fats, shellfish and a handful more. After watching my father's experience, I cannot say the diet is easy. Cooking was tough, his Psoriasis became worse at times; however, after over eight months his hard work seemed to all-of-a-sudden pay off. His Psoriasis went from being bad to completely gone. As my dad added foods back into his diet, brief flare-ups indicated which foods he should avoid. I know there are sufferers out there that would do anything for clear skin and I encourage you to Google search Dr. Pagano. Feel free to talk to me in the store and I can share more of what I know. 0039 Dave Wolpin is the owner of Kredl’s Corner Market in Hampton and has a deep passion for healthy eating and food awareness. You can learn more about Dave and sign up for his newsletter at www.kredls.com.

HHS GRAD CLASS UPDATE The Grad Class Executive hopes you had a great March Break. Tomorrow, March 12, we are hosting our annual Grad Class Fashion Show and hope to see you all there. Grads will be modeling hipster styles, prom outfits, ski gear, and more! The cost to get in is $5. We are in need of door prizes, so if any grad can donate or offer information on someone who can donate, it would be greatly appreciated. Aside from that, we have been given a wonderful opportunity by NB liquor to win a province-wide contest. If any student body wishes to participate, they must create a video with a theme regarding the dangers of drinking. The winner will receive $100 and fame across the province of New Brunswick, as it will have wide exposure. There is a hockey game for all members of the Grad Class on Thursday, March 27. This is a match for grads of all skill levels competing head to head in a daring game of hockey. Sign-up sheets will be posted on the Grad Class bulletin board. Cost is $2 to play and an equal $2 for spectators. We hope to see everyone at this upcoming event!
There are two final things we must accomplish as a Grad Class. We must choose our class song to represent the entire year as well as the superlatives. There will be a meeting describing the various superlatives, and we will vote on who is most athletic, most academic, biggest flirt, best dressed, etc. There will also be a big Grad Class event held every month until the end of the school year, and we hope you get involved. With events like tie-dye day, scavenger hunt, dress up days, ping pong tournaments and more, this is your chance to make memories. If you have any other ideas, please do not hesitate to post them on the Grad Class Facebook page or tell one of your Grad Class Executive members! Submitted by Ben LeBlanc. 0011

aSk THe CHeF Colin Sifton from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with the answer to a great question about spices. I often get asked the question of what herbs you should have on hand at home? It is a hard thing to answer. Each person is very different and their palette is as well. We have certain rules that we use when first starting to cook, but then after playing with the different flavours we come up with what pleases us. The four most common herbs that you should find in most kitchens are; basil, thyme, rosemary and oregano. Some are best when fresh and others are easier to control when dried. Basil is always better fresh. I use it mainly in vegetable pasta sauces, some salads and is the main ingredient in pesto. Dried basil is alright, but you will find the flavour not as strong and a little more sweet than fresh. Thyme is good both dried or fresh. Fresh is not as strong as dried. I use thyme with poultry, in salad dressings and flavouring
by Colin sifton
soups. There are many different varieties of thyme so if you do not like one, try a different one. Rosemary is always better fresh than dried. It has a better flavour and is not as hard. I use rosemary with beef, lamb, game meat, in brown sauces, in salad dressing and in marinades. A flavour that is hard to miss, rosemary in mushroom soup just seems to complete it. Oregano is an herb that is always better dried than fresh. The only reason I say that is because fresh oregano is hard to control, where dried is very easy to control. I use oregano in Mediterranean cooking, pasta sauces, salad dressing and many marinades. Spaghetti sauce in my opinion should only be made with oregano and bay leaf. Other things I wanted to mention is when using herbs, keep it simple. Don’t just throw different herbs in a sauce in hopes that it will taste good because it will not. All the herbs have different aromatic flavours and very distinctive in flavour.
By adding too much will confuse your palette. One taste may be good, but after a few more bites you will be turned off and your meal will go to waste. Another great thing about herbs is that some will keep bugs away. Lavender, lemon balm, rosemary and other herbs are often deterrents to different bugs, mosquitos, flies and spiders. Having these herbs fresh in your home or in your yard can keep these pests away. 0040

HAMPTON FOOD BASKET NEWS This is truly a wonderful community in which to live. We give heartfelt thanks to Layton Peck and his assembly of talented artists who brought such lovely music to our ears at the Gospel concert recently, in addition to a very nice cheque and food items to assist our clients. We are assisted on a regular basis by many local businesses and have just received a grand cheque from the Bank of Nova Scotia. The employees raise funds during the year and the Bank matches whatever is raised; this program has been running for many years and we are indebted to the hard working staff and the Bank Management. CBC Harbour Lights saw our ‘Boat Come Home’ in a big, big way and we are hugely grateful. All these amazing gifts mean that we can provide the luxury of some fresh fruit and vegetables to very needy people… when did you last think of a banana as a luxury?? We are in need of a few items, if you are replacing appliances or furniture and have any of the following to give away, please call Janice at 832-4340, leave a message if need be and she will return your call: 3 double beds; 1 Queen bed; 1 twin mattress and 1 fridge. Next preparation day will be on March 19 starting at 8:00am and clients will be served on March 20 from 8:30 until 11:00am. During the March and April client days our friends Phillipe and Flo will be on hand to do tax return forms for clients. This is a free and confidential
service, so get your paperwork together and bring it in for this special help! We do have a couple of income tax receipts for which we have no address, if you are missing yours , please contact Betty, 832-7526 and it will be dispatched with haste. Thanks to everyone who supported us during the past year, may you be blessed abundantly! Emergency numbers are: Catherine 943-0158, Janice 832-4340, Debbie 8324039 and Betty 832-7526. Please note: Emergency numbers are for emergencies only! Several clients
are making a habit of skipping the client day and then calling for emergency supplies, this puts needless stress on our volunteers. We ask that you mark your calendars for the third Thursday of every month and come on that day; if you cannot attend then please designate a friend to pick up for you, provide them with a note to authorize the pick up and the medicare number of an adult in your family. ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it, unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me...’. 0029

Finally, it is important that you check with your local building official to verify that there are no local amendments to the code or differing interpretations to the code requirements before you perform any work. Smoke alarms are probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to fire safety in your home and should be replaced every ten years. The building code currently requires a smoke alarm installed on every storey and within 15 feet of every bedroom door (you can use one alarm to satisfy both requirements).

The smoke alarms must also be interconnected, meaning that if one alarm goes off, so do all the others. In the next version of the building code smoke alarms will be required inside bedrooms as well. This is because locating the alarm in the bedroom wakes people about 45 seconds earlier than the unit outside the bedroom door, and since you typically have an average of 3 minutes to escape your home after the alarm sounds, that 45 seconds is a big deal. If you have smoke alarms, but they are not interconnected you could replace them with units that are wirelessly interconnected to save you from having to run wires all through your house and still satisfy the code when your existing smoke alarms need to be replaced. Most people don’t know there are actually two different kinds of smoke alarms; ionisation and photoelectric. Ionisation alarms are great at detecting flaming fires, where photoelectric alarms are good at detecting smouldering fires. Which type should you have in your home? Both, but if you can only have one, ionisation is your best bet because 93% of home fires are
flaming. Also, If your smoke alarm goes off a lot when you are cooking it is likely an ionisation type and you could replace it with a photoelectric type to reduce nuisance alarms. All fuel fired appliances produce carbon monoxide, and should be vented to the outside. Unlike smoke, carbon monoxide is an invisible, tasteless and odorless gas that is poisonous. Even when you are installing a fuel burning appliance that is designed for installation in your home, a carbon monoxide alarm is required (and if you have an attached garage). The carbon monoxide alarm must be installed within 15 feet of all bedroom doors (just like a smoke alarm). If you are wondering if your house has a carbon monoxide alarm the first place to check is your smoke alarm. If your smoke alarm is also a carbon monoxide alarm it will say so right on the outside of the unit. If you just have a smoke alarm you can either switch out the existing unit for a dual unit or you can also get a carbon monoxide alarm that plugs into an outlet. Either units are commonly available at all home improvement stores.

How To Reduce Home Improvement Project Waste The home improvement industry has grown considerably over the last several decades, as homeowners increasingly took steps to turn their homes into personal oasis. But such projects often produce substantial amounts of waste, negatively impacting the environment as a result. Save salvageable materials. Some materials simply must be discarded when making improvements to a home. But many more materials can be salvaged. When making renovations to a home, separate materials like lumber, hardware, fixtures, and even appliances that can be salvaged from those materials that must be discarded. Many communities are home to organizations that collect salvageable materials, and these materials can be reused by fellow homeowners or other organizations down the road. Speak to contractors about recycling. Contractors working on a home typically know which materials can be recycled in a given area. When discussing prospective projects with contractors, homeowners can mention their willingness to recycle materials. Wood is a versatile material that can be turned into reclaimed or composite wood products, including decks or other items used around the home.
Old wood being removed from a home may even work as mulch, which homeowners can spread around their yards to add aesthetic appeal and protect plants on hot summer days. Even asphalt and concrete can be recycled into new products, and homeowners should discuss their wishes to recycle as many materials as possible. Choose recycled content building materials. Another way to reduce home improvement project waste is to make use of other homeowners’ discarded materials. Recycled content building materials are products that include materials recycled from previous projects. These once-sparse materials are now commonplace, and labels often include the percentages of post-consumer and recovered materials used in each product. Materials such as drywall, insulation, kitchen countertops, glass tiles, carpeting and carpet padding may include recycled content, and the growing popularity of such products has made them relatively simple for homeowners to find. When working with contractors, homeowners should emphasize their desire to use materials made from recycled content. Such materials are both pleasing to the

eye and the environment. Embrace adaptability when designing a new home. Rarely do homeowners design their homes with renovations in mind. When building a dream home, homeowners do not consider the likelihood that they will one day move out or even outgrow the home. Estimates vary considerably with regard to how long the average homeowner stays in his home, with some suggesting as little as seven years. Homeowners building new homes should expect to one day move, and ensuring their new homes are easily adaptable is both financially sound and eco-friendly. When a home is built with adaptability in mind, prospective buyers won’t have to make costly overhauls. In addition, homes built to facilitate future renovations won’t produce the same amount of waste as homes that are less easily adapted. Many homeowners embrace home improvement projects as opportunities to turn their homes into private sanctuaries. But those who do so with the environment in mind can significantly reduce waste and still end up living in luxury.

From the archives Sussex agricultural Museum One Lung Engines - A Revolution in Power Near the turn of the last century one lung engines became a viable form of power used on farms. When horsepower wasn’t enough or wasn’t available one lung engines were used to provide mechanical energy to farm tools. Everything from butter churns, draw saws, and water pumps could be connected to a one lung engine through belts, gears, and shafts. One lung engines, are also commonly known as ‘hit-and-miss’ engines because of how they ran. Unlike modern engines that run smooth and consistently, one lung engines only fired when the speed dropped below a certain point. The engine’s heavy flywheels keep the engine spinning between firing cycles. This resulted in a distinctive sound of “POP, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, POP” while the engine was running. Backfires were common but for their time these engines were incredibly powerful. They could run gasoline, kerosene, or diesel. Some people would start the engine with gasoline and
switch to the cheaper kerosene or diesel once the engine was running. Amanco produced a 2½ HP engine that they called a “Hired Man”. Using one lung engines allowed farmers to accomplish more work in shorter periods of time. They ushered in a new era of how work was performed on a farm. In the 1930’s their popularity began to die off as
by Caleb Burns newer, lighter, more reliable engines began to hit the market. By the 1940’s production of one lung engines virtually ceased altogether. But, if you want to see one you can always visit the Sussex Agricultural Museum, they have a few tucked away with other treasures from the past. If you go during harvest days you might even get to hear one run. 00046

Up, Up & away by ellen tucker River Cruise Line Differences – Be Careful: River cruises in Europe are so popular that the prime dates in September and October sell out almost a year in advance. So why are they so popular? I can sum it up in one word, “comfort”. Without question, the ease of leisurely sailing to many of the iconic cities of Europe, through inspiring scenery whilst enjoying delicious cuisine of the region in luxurious accommodations is the major factor. All that along with the fact the long ship carry only 120 to about 180 passengers. There are no crowds, no long buffet lines, it’s all easy. Each stop brings you into a city or town and there are informative excursions offered to allow you to become familiar with the history and culture of each place. And guess what, these excursions are free! It’s good to do an excursion in the morning, become familiar with the lay of the land and then go exploring on your own in the afternoon. All the river cruise lines are good but there are differences of which you should be aware before you choose the one for you. It’s not as easy as just comparing
the pricing, because what’s included varies. When you use the counsel of a professional travel consultant who is familiar with all the lines, that consultant can sum up the pros and cons of each. You can then make an informed decision as to what one is right for you. Some lines include everything, all beverages, all gratuities both to local tour guides and the shipboard gratuities. Some even include unique dining experiences on land like one with a Prince at his castle on Tauck. Some lines are focused on great cuisine and even include lunch at the restaurant of renowned chef, Paul Bocuse in Lyon like A-Rosa. Lunch at this Michelin 3 star restaurant would set you back at least $300 per person and it’s included. The other factor to consider is the size of the rooms onboard. Some are much smaller than others, but I will say they are all very comfortable and well-designed. As to what to choose for cabin position on the ship, it depends on you. The least expensive cabins are on the lowest deck and sometime when ballast is added to
lower the ship for going under bridges, part of the window may actually be underwater. If that is not a bother to you, then those rooms are fine. Remember you spend very little time in the room, you’ll be outside as much as possible watching the scenery and enjoying the company of fellow guests. Another consideration is the layout of the ship. If you like al fresco dining, make sure you chose a line that offers it. Otherwise all your meals must be taken inside. If you like to have the use of bicycles so you can go on guided cycling excursions or even explore on your own, make sure the line you choose offers complimentary bicycles. I’ve only touched on some of the differences, so before you make that big decision make sure you have all the facts.

The most difficult thing for me is the loneliness. How can I ever overcome it? Because of the suddenness of being alone, the need for closeness, communication and companionship is very great. These needs surface just after a death when most people have little energy or desire to socialize. It is not uncommon that the loneliest folks of all are turning down invitations from friends because they are afraid to be in a crowd as a fifth wheel, or afraid they’ll cry at some inappropriate time, or simply don’t feel like getting dressed and going out. Refusing to isolate yourself is the first step toward overcoming loneliness. Forcing one’s self to be out among the living can have a number of rewards.

Auto Theft Why vehicles are stolen: For transportation - Thieves will use your vehicle to get where they want to go and later abandon the vehicle. They may just drive it around to gain “status“ with their Friends. Often these vehicles are burnt. To commit other crimes: Vehicles are stolen and used in other crimes such as robberies, break & enters and drug dealing. To sell for vehicle parts: Thieves may take your car out of the province or country. Identification numbers may be altered or removed, ownership certificates forged, parts sold or the vehicle repainted. If your vehicle is broken into or stolen immediately report this to:
RCMP South-East District (Hampton Detachment) 530 Main Street, Hampton, NB E5N 6C3
506-832-5566
Tips to keep your Vehicle Safe • Close windows and sunroof. • Never leave keys in the ignition or your car, not even hidden spare. • If you have no choice, make sure valuables are locked in the trunk. • Take valuables with you when you leave your car: cash, credit cards, cellular phones, GPS devices, etc. 28 The Hampton Herald
• Always report suspicious activities to your local police. • Use your garage. • Make sure your keys are secure at home and at work. Do not place your keys on a key holder near the front door of your house. • Lock doors and activate security alarms.
By Royden Brien For the past 50 plus years cancer has been a constant in our family. My parents both died of cancer in the 1960’s. Every one of my five siblings have had some form of cancer. Two have passed on. For me it was a matter of not “if ” but “when” cancer would appear in some form. When medical practitioners would do a history they would always pay attention to any symptoms that might be cancer related. It was a combination of luck and awareness that caught my first melanoma. My surgeon was doing a hernia repair and noticed a spot on my leg and said, “I’m going to cut that out and send it for biopsy”. The results were positive and I was called back for further surgery. The surgeon said my family history is similar to yours and would I be interested in taking part in a cancer study at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. He wanted me to keep him up to date on any new developments as he had been told that it was a matter of “when” with him as well. I was working in Ontario at the time and spent 10 years travelling to the skin clinic on a regular basis. In 2006 I developed an itchy spot on my back and went to my family physician who didn’t think that it was anything serious but with my family history sent me to a skin specialist who again did not think it was cancer. He sent the tissue for analysis and called me the next day to meet him at the hospital for surgery. The melanoma had gone inward and required 48 weeks of chemotherapy. Regular medical checkups with blood tests indicated that my PSA count was rising. A first ultrasound biopsy did not indicate any cancer but a second test was scheduled for a later date that did pick up cancer cells and radiation treatment was completed at the George Dumont Hospital in Moncton. The theme of the Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life is to “celebrate, remember, and fight back”. I celebrate my success in beating cancer and remember those who lost the fight. I choose to fight back by promoting cancer awareness and education whenever possible. I have spoken to a number of groups as far away as Florida. 2652
MUSINgS by Debbie Hickey PRIVACY? There is lots of discussion, articles written and conversation around the massive “sharing” of ourselves that is happening more and more as we live in virtual worlds of Facebook, text messaging, tweets, Pinterest and on and on and on. I personally have no particular desire to be that attached to any electronic device, nor do I feel a need to know how often you have been to the bathroom or how many times your kid threw up. To the contrary, it disturbs me to see so many people engaged with their devices and ignoring the people beside them. Do they really feel the need to be that “in the know” about their friends’ lives? But then I realized, we may have thought we had considerable privacy in our lives in the old days of B.E. (Before Electronics), but did we really? I recall one lovely blue-sky summer day when I had a car pull into my driveway to ask me a strange question. . . “Do you mind if I take some photos of your clothes on the line?” Turns out this individual was taking a photography course, so sure,
no problem. But when you think about it, you can learn a lot about someone from their clothesline. Married (or at least cohabitating), kids (including gender and approximate ages), work (office attire or jeans), sports played, favourite colours, how often you shower (how many towels). And don’t even let yourself consider what can be gleaned from the nightwear you display (pj’s or nighties, flannel or sheer, NOTHING!). All that just from your clothesline. Then there was the infamous “party line”. For those who missed that, there were numerous families who shared one phone line, although each had a distinct “ring”. Think of it as extensions of your landline, but each extension was in a different house and had its own ringtone. And like any household extension, anyone who picked up another phone while you are engaged in a “private” conversation could listen in to your conversation undetected. Or at least until the dog barked or a door slammed when the kids came in from
playing outdoors (yeah, we did that then). It appears privacy was actually more illusion than reality. Like drawing the curtain, but the room lights are blazing and anyone on the street can see right in. Perhaps the real difference is not that we have less privacy than in my long ago youth, but just that today people simply don’t bother drawing the curtain. “A new father quickly learns that his child invariably comes to the bathroom at precisely the times when he's in there, as if he needed company. The only way for this father to be certain of bathroom privacy is to shave at the gas station.” ~ Bill Cosby. 0002
