RAVINGS By Mike Hickey
“THE HUNTER” The Jet and I have been hanging out together for nearly three years now. For most of this time we have been very, very regular in our walks through the woods. Also, during this period, The Jet has been a regular visitor to the office, so I have had an opportunity to observe him in very different circumstances. When hunting in the woods, The Jet, relies almost entirely on his nose, keeping his head to the ground and seldom looking around (just like the missus). This is one reason why he missed seeing a bunny rabbit tearing down the woods road the other day, although he did pick up the scent as we arrived at that spot on the road. His success in hunting partridge is terrible. In almost every case, he saunters along with nose to the ground until without warning the bird takes flight, often without him even noticing. The one animal that The Jet regularly pursues are the squirrels!! The problem, is his pursuit looks more like a 649 Happy Dance and the whole event appears more like a “Hey!! Come back here and play with me!!” In conclusion, if The Jet and I are ever stuck out in the woods for a week or two, our only hope of survival will be my hunting skills and not his. Out side of the woods, however, The Jet is absolutely awesome as a “Domestic Hunter”. He has staff at the office virtually lining up to give him treats. A visit to Grammy usually scores a doggy treat and an apple. The reason for his success in domestic hunting, versus his woods hunting is that he uses his eyes instead of his nose!! Sitting quietly, while staring at victims with big brown eyes is a sure fire way to score treats from all but the most heartless human, such as myself. So we have made a deal, when in the woods I will do the hunting for both of us, but if we are ever penniless on the streets of Hampton, he will take over all of the hunting duties. I am expecting that with our combined skills, that neither of us will miss too many meals!! 800

6th Hampton Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Venturers!
6th Hampton is always on the go! In February Beavers built Beaver Buggies and participated in races. In early April they joined the Scouts for a tour of the Saint John Airport. Beavers had an Easter egg hunt, have gone on nature walks, and a kite outing. They learned about forest safety during a recent visit from a DNR representative. The Beavers are planning their annual trip to Caton’s Island in June. Cubs were busy building and racing Kub Kars earlier this year and attended a weekend camp at Holderville. Cubs have also been working on earning badges. The Scouts have been busy with numerous outdoor activities such as snow shoeing in Dutch Point, attending a Sea Dogs game, and an airport tour. Our District Commissioner, David Grosse, recently visited the group and the stories about the history of Scouting were enjoyed. Scouts have been learning about shelter building and outdoor cooking. Soon they will be busy cleaning the nesting boxes they built last year in Dutch Point. Scouts are also planning for a week at Camp Roosevelt in Maine this July. The Venturers have been busy with games nights and hikes, including one to the Parlee Brook Amphitheatre. A canoe trip is being planned for a little later in the spring. Towards the end of April all groups participated in an Earth Day cleanup. They were out in Hampton passing out Scout Trees and in early May the youth will be planting the trees. In May they will also be hosting a bottle drive so save your returnables! The Fundy East Region of Scouts New Brunswick held a contest for all members in the area to design a new crest. There were many entries from the area, which covers Kings County as well as parts of Queens and St. John Counties. Hampton Scout, Madeline Honeyman’s design was chosen as the winner and will be worn on the uniforms of all Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and Leaders in the Fundy East area. David Grosse presented Madeline with a certificate during his recent visit. Congratulations Madeline – we are all very proud of you! 128

“salt of the earth” Award
Rothesay High School principal, Roger Brown, is retiring after 39 years as a school teacher and administrator in Hampton, Quispamsis, and Rothesay. When members of the Rothesay High Parent School Support Committee discussed possible retirement gifts for Mr. Brown, we knew he would want us to do something for students. Some of us had heard him say he wished there was more recognition for those students who might not be academic or sports stars but are “the salt of the earth”, all round good kids, the students you can count on to show up and participate. We are now accepting donations from former students, family of students and former students, fellow educators, and other members of the community whose lives have been enriched by Roger’s warmth, wisdom, and wit. This money will be used by Rothesay High School’s scholarship committee for the Roger Brown Award which will be given to a salt of the earth student when he or she graduates from Rothesay High. If you would like to contribute, please contact Robin Stanley at 847-9801 or stanleyr@nb.sympatico.ca or give your donation to Bonny Lafferty at the school office. 412

Hampton-Piggs Peak news
AIDS Saint John is a non-profit community-based organization aimed at improving the quality of life of those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and striving to reduce the spread of HIV. Each year AIDS Saint John presents the Daniel Clowes Award to honour the life and work of AIDS Saint John’s first president. It is awarded to an individual or group that has shown outstanding leadership in the fight against HIV infection and AIDS or whose sensitivity, understanding and compassion have resulted in highly significant support for infected and affected persons. I am pleased to tell you that the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership Starfish Program is this year’s recipient of the Daniel Clowes Award. In making the announcement, Julie Dingwell, Executive Director of AIDS SJ, said “In 2005, Mark Bettle went to Swaziland with AIDS Saint John and AIDS Moncton and the Town of Hampton has been going full speed ahead ever since.” In her remarks she mentioned the following fundamental philosophy of the Partnership: “An AIDS epidemic, on a scale unknown anywhere else in the world, is devastating Swaziland. In the face of their suffering, the Swazi people cling to an ideal they call “buntfu”, the essence of humanity that tells us we are all connected and should care for each other. In Hampton, we are proud of our community spirit and we know that, as humans, our community is the world. Our neighbours are not only the people next door but also the people of Africa, the people of Swaziland ... the people of Piggs Peak. In the spirit of buntfu, we are compelled to care for our neighbours.” It is through Starfish sponsorships that students in Piggs Peak are able to attend high school when they would otherwise be unable to do so. This bond between sponsors and students is the spirit of buntfu that extends half-way around the world and connects us as humans. I would like to thank and congratulate each and every Starfish sponsor. As a group, you are the Starfish Program so this award is yours. You should be proud of this award and you should be proud of what you are doing. It is your “sensitivity, understanding and compassion” that is supporting those affected by the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland.

Why I relay
My name is Marilyn Hirtle and I have been a resident of Hampton since 1975. I am impressed with the generosity and spirit of this community. Every year I look forward to the Hampton Survivors’ Dinner and Relay for Life. The first one I attended was in June 2007. I was in my first year of survival, having been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2006; having undergone treatment and a stem cell transplant that year. My best friend, Joyce Hovey, spoke about her journey of survival at the 2007 dinner, and that is one of my last memories of her. Each year the event is unique and unforgettable. I am amazed at the number of survivors attending, the volunteers who do the fantastic job of organizing the event, the delicious dinner and the creativity of the teams that volunteer to run all night and speakers. The entertainment is always impressive. The overwhelming event every year is the lighting of the luminaries purchased in memory of loved ones. They light up the field and hill. The ones that spell “HOPE” and then change to “CURE” are especially memorable. After having a second stem cell transplant in December 2010, I feel lucky to be starting my sixth year of survival. I plan to attend the Hampton Survivors’ Dinner and Relay for Life planned for June 9th. Multiple Myeloma has no known cause and no cure. There are about 6,000 cases in Canada. Events like the Survivors’ Dinner and Relay Run help raise money to fund research for a cure. If you or someone you know is a cancer survivor and would like to attend the dinner please contact me at 485-2866 or email: peggy @cplornet.ca. Submitted by Peggy McCrea, Co-ordinator of the Relay for Life Survivor Dinner. 123

Vote Dr. Erik F.C. Klein
For the Regional Health Authority Elections for Horizon Health May 14th, 2012
(held as part of the municipal elections in Saint John, KV, Hampton, and Sussex)
Have you read about Erik? Dr. Erik Klein is a chiropractor who practices in offices between Hampton and St. Stephen. Dr. Klein is running for the RHA board position to promote preventative healthcare policies and health promotion over the current band-aid solutions that are failing. Dr. Klein lives and breathes health, wellness, and dedication, while our current system is built on a bloated bureaucracy that refuses to budge. Dr. Erik Klein’s “out of office” healthcare experience includes being the team chiropractor for the Saint John Mill Rats Professional Basketball team, the Chief Medical Officer for the 2013 IFAF World Women’s Football Championship and the Medical Guidelines Co-ordinator for the National Basketball League of Canada. Dr. Klein is also the NB Record holder in the 60m master’s sprint. He practices what he preaches and wellness is always a professional focus.
How do we fix this problem with healthcare?
We choose healthcare over bureaucracy Addressing integrative family practice programs such as family care teams. Yielding to the research and better utilizing Nurse Practitioners. We better engage home-care practitioners to get transitional seniors out of acute care beds. We use mid-stream triage programs to better identify surgical candidates to cut wait times. We purchase 3T MRIs for SJ and Moncton, and one 1.5T for up north. We don’t require any others and the savings pays. We utilize dieticians better for the general population. We DON’T elect professional politicians who held the reins and chose not to fight for people’s health. We go to www.thetownchiropractor.blogspot.com to get more information!

Local Artist chosen
The Board of Directors of the New Brunswick International Sculpture Symposium Inc., and Sculpture Saint John are thrilled to announce six sculptors have been chosen to create large works of public art for Saint John, surrounding communities and UNB Saint John. One of the six sculptors will be our very own, Jim Boyd. Jim is from Hampton and has a BFA Major from UNB. He has been involved in several exhibitions and was a participant in the Schoodic Maine International Sculpture Symposium in 2011. Sculpture Saint John is an International Sculpture Symposium taking place this summer from August 2nd - September 15th at the Coast Guard site on the Saint John Waterfront. During their creative six weeks in Saint John, the sculptors will be meeting the passengers of the cruise ships, students, tourists and the general public. Alexander suggests, “Come see these creative geniuses at work, and come often because every visit to the site will be a new exhilarating experience as each piece takes shape.” Examples of the artists’ previous works can be found on the Sculpture Saint John Website at sculpturesaintjohn.com. Please note the “Donor” tab on the website. Sculpture Saint John will incur many expenses because the sculptors will be provided with tools, accommodations, transportation and food while they are here. All donations will be gratefully appreciated to assist in making this event a huge success. 126

Brock Reid WHAT ABOUT MONUMENTS AND MARKERS? Today granite stones or bronze plaques are the most common grave markers used. In times past, monuments have been made of marble, slate, or sandstone; but they proved unable to withstand weathering and are rarely used anymore. Granite comes in a variety of colours including black, gray, white, soft reds and shades in between. The beauty of the finest granite can be identified by the absence of discoloration and seams. Fine granite will have a uniformity of texture and colour throughout. The flat stone marker is the least expensive marker one can buy. All stones and plaques are considered a handcrafted product and the cost is dependent upon size, colour, special boarders or designs including laser, floral vase and extras you may want. Installation of monuments and plaques is generally included in the price. It is important you know the regulations of the cemetery before purchasing and having a monument installed. Reid’s Funeral Home is a dealer for Classic Memorials and can look after all your monument and lettering needs.

HHS Grad Class Update
The following sentence is one I have kept in the back of my mind since September, but when it comes to my mind, I try to push it back into the dark recesses of my brain – the part where it will stay and not surface, for it is quite a scary thought indeed. The final Grad Class Coffee House took place last week. Prior to this, if it did not feel like the end of the year was near, it is now clear that it is just around the corner. Although this is a sad realization, the performances at the Coffee House were really quite the opposite, and there were many up-beat, cheerful tunes played on the strings of Hampton High’s musicians. The skilled guitar, harmonica, piano, and even banjo playing, accompanied by the clear and pleasing voices, made for an excellent show! This is the final thank you to Java Moose for providing delicious coffee, and to the parents and volunteers who made these shows possible. On a lighter note, the next Grad Class event is coming up soon, so all is not lost! This event is tie-dying the prom party t-shirts which will take place on Friday, May 25th immediately after school. This event is going to be fun, and I don’t know about you, but I think that tie-dye is more interesting than the generic black prom party t-shirts that have been purchased in previous years. However, if you disagree, then you can simply refrain from tiedying your shirt, and it will remain white! The Grad Dinner and Variety Show of 2012 will be held on Thursday, May 31st. This is one of the highlights of the year for the graduates. Bring an empty stomach as Holly’s Restaurant is catering the dinner – you’re going to want to be able to hold as much food as you can! This is a special night for the grads and their teachers to share memories of the last four years, and grads need to start thinking about what they would like to perform in the Variety Show. Parents of grads received an important list of dates at the parent meeting held on Thursday, April 26th and this same letter will be given to graduates at the assembly on Monday, May 7th during Working Period. Please ask your graduate for this letter when they get home from school on May 7th. The number of weeks of school is winding down; however, there are still some articles left to be published, so be sure to read them – being informed at this time of year is essential. To paraphrase: Stay posted and stay up-to-date! Submitted by Johnny Cullen. 103

Hampton Rotary news
On March 24th the Rotary Club of Hampton held its fourth Trivia Night and 12 teams participated: Gems-N-Whiners (Red Hatters), a team sponsored by the Hampton Dental Clinic; Keirstead, Quigley & Roberts Ltd.; Lutz, Keenan & Speight (Lutz, Longstaff & Parrish Law Firm), Ossekeag Publishing, Ragdolls, Divas & Violets (Red Hatters), Reid’s Funeral Home, Shiretown Pub, St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, The Team Next to Us is Cheating (Town of Hampton), VA Snow Centre and the Yankee Shore Doodlers. This year the competition was very close until the last few rounds of questions. A tie-breaker question was required to finalize the team standings. Congratulations to all the teams who participated and made it such a fun evening. We would like to thank those businesses who sponsored teams or gave donations for the silent auction. Some of the teams have been very successful and as a result have donated significant dollars to their favourite local charities. Others teams may not have won prizes but contribute by paying the team fee, bidding on our silent auction items and therefore contribute to the work done by Rotary. We have had some interesting programs of late. Grant Kimball from the Rothesay-Kings Rotary Club spoke about his experiences as a member of the team from Rotary District 7810 who went to the Dominican Republic to install bio-sand water filters in the batteys where the Haitain sugar cane workers and their families live. Inspector Warr presented an informative talk and another Monday, the acting principal of the high school impressed us with her enthusiasm for her work and the staff and students at the high school. Mike Hickey & Meagin Huisman brought the members up to date on the work H.A.L.L. is doing in the community. This past week Rotarian Ivan Henry spoke about the Saint John Flying Club to which he belongs and how he came to be a pilot. 108

My name is Jordan London and I am a grade 6 student at Rothesay Park School and I have been working very hard to raise money for the 2012 Relay for Life-Hampton, Snow Angels team. I made the decision to join the Relay and raise money for cancer research because I have had too many family members suffer from this mean disease called Cancer. I have lost my grandfather (Arthur London Sr) and my great-grandmother (Annie Hull) to this devastating disease; as well my grandmother (Jackie London) is a cancer survivor, along with many many other family members. From now until May 30th I am organizing a bottle drive with the help of my parents (Art & Michelle London) and my two brothers Josh age 6 and Jamie age 5, my cousin Wyatt aged 12 and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Last year we were able to pass our goal of $1000; with the help of our family, friends and community we were able to raise a total of $2303.45 during the bottle drive. I would be honoured to be able to raise this amount again this year, in memory and in honour of all of those who have battled cancer. If you could please donate your bottles to this wonderful cause, we may be able to beat this disease. Please contact us at 3334223 (you can leave a message), at jjjqis@nb.sympatico.ca, or on facebook (please feel free to invite anyone you would like to the group as well.) Thank you for your support, and “thank you� to everyone who has already donated their bottles. 413

The eagle
Once a farmer found an abandoned eagle’s nest and in it was an egg still warm. He took the egg back to his farm and laid it in the nest of one of his hens. The egg hatched and the baby eagle grew up along with the other chickens. It pecked about the farmyard, scrabbling for grain. It spent its life within the yard and rarely looked up. When it was very old, one day it lifted up its head and saw above it a wonderful sight - an eagle soaring high above in the sky. Looking at it, the old creature sighed and said to itself, “If only I’d been born an eagle”. Source: an adaptation from an Anthony de Mello story. CC17

Hempstead, hatfield Point Hollywood connections Part V
Bob’s grandparent’s home had a gramophone, but no radio. Their grandfather kept the boys busy, but their simple entertainment, together with their young aunts, was gathering around the family piano and singing. When their Aunt Fannie took the boys from Hatfield Point to the United States “Little Earle cried; Bob said nothing. Their surname was changed to their father’s adopted name of ‘Nolan’ and their mother was never able to find them. She had no recourse because, unhappily, Harry was legally well within his rights under Manitoba law at this time. Custody of the children was always given to the husband. The wife had no rights and, indeed, was not even legally considered a ‘person’.” Bob never returned to visit his grandparents after he left in 1919. On July 7, 1928, just two months after graduating from Grade 12 in Tucson, Bob married his 16 year-old high school sweetheart, Pearl Fields. Bob was barely 20 years of age, and the marriage was doomed almost from the beginning. Pearl moved in with her parents in Texas, while Bob went to California trying to establish a career in the music field. Thirteen months after their marriage, Bob and Pearl became the parents of a daughter, Roberta Irene (nicknamed, “Bobbie”). The couple reunited for a time, but in 1930 Pearl left Bob and broke all contact between Bob and his daughter. During this difficult time, Bob Nolan’s career was finally taking off. He appeared in many westerns, such as, “Song of the Saddle (1936)”, “The Colorado Trail (1938)”, “Sons of the Pioneers (1942)”, and “Night Time in Nevada (1948)”. Among the hundreds of songs written by Bob Noland, “Cool Water” and “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” have to be his most enduring creations. The latter being written shortly after the failure of his first marriage. For nearly 15 years Pearl refused to let Bob see Roberta and she refused to let the daughter see the letters Bob sent each month along with a cheque. It was not until 1944 that Pearl relented and let Roberto go and see Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers when they appeared in Oakland, California. From then on Roberta spent time each year with her father and his second wife, Clara Brown (P’nuts), whom he married in 1942. Roberta Nolan Mileusnich one wrote of her famous father: “My dad was a very quiet man. He never volunteered any information but, if one asked, would answer any question. I’m afraid I didn’t have the foresight in my younger days to ask about his past. He would not only have answered but elaborated once the subject was broached.” Bob Nolan died June 16, 1980 at the age of 72 years. 127

Primrose Gardens has hundreds of varieties of annuals in hanging plants and pouches, 4â&#x20AC;? flower pots, bedding plants, planters, etc. that will be in full bloom for their opening on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. They also grow and sell vegetable plants such as tomatoes, cucumber and peppers. They specialize in 12â&#x20AC;? hanging plants instead of 10â&#x20AC;? because they understand that with the 40% more soil, the moisture stays in longer, there is more room for plants and their roots which offers a longer, healthier life for your flowers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brian is very proud of every plant and planter and insists on growing healthy plants the environmentally friendly wayâ&#x20AC;? says Kathy. The nursery avoids the use of insecticides and focuses on a more natural process with aphidius colemani which is a tiny, almost invisible fly that is capable of eradicating aphid populations. This healthier choice is good for the plants, the nursery workers, the customers and the environment.

Local Volunteer Celebrated
The New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes (NBANH) held the second annual Nursing Home Volunteer Awards Gala Dinner on April 17th at the Fredericton Inn, as they marked national volunteer week. The theme of the evening was “Nursing Home Volunteers; Our Everyday Hero’s”. The presentation of the provincial volunteer awards is a small gesture from NBANH to give back to those who enrich the lives of nursing home residents. During the Gala Dinner, an award was presented a volunteer from each of the Association’s seven provincial regions. The evening keynote address was delivered by the Honourable Graydon Nicholas; Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick. Michael Keating, Executive Director of the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes noted that “the LieutenantGovernor is wonderful supporter of volunteers in New Brunswick and gave a moving key note address”. Ms Gina McLeod from Dr. V. A. Snow Centre was recognized as the Region 2 Volunteer Recipient for 2012. Ms McLeod’s idea was that every resident’s window should have a garden to look out on. After gathering volunteers and community support, Ms McLeod’s idea becomes a reality year after year for the residents and staff of the Dr. V. A.

A NEW GARDENING SEASON Winter is past and spring is here, There’s work to be done and debris to clear; New shoots have emerged and the joy will be ours, When we’ve cleaned up the bed for the burst of bright flowers. What a wonderful time of year as we see the renewal of life all around us! We were particularly blessed with a very mild winter and most perennials and bushes are showing signs of vigorous life, however, the joys of diminished snow fall actually rendered the winter the second driest one in 60 years. At the time of writing the ground is very dry already which doesn’t bode well for spring planting, any transplanting of perennials needs to be done with that fact in mind, be sure to water well morning and evening, or at the least in the evening, the hot sun of the day will simply evaporate the ‘juice’ and draw the roots to the surface for a rapid ‘fry up’. Day Lilies and Siberian Iris can be divided; a sharp curved Japanese saw is quite the best job for this, easily cutting through the toughest of roots and seemingly impervious to the inevitable rocks that seem to breed with gay abandon in the root systems. Remember to pot up extras for the Communities in Bloom Plant Sale on Saturday, May 12th (10:00am) at the Dr A T Leatherbarrow School. This is quite the best time of year to edge the borders, even rather blunt edgers will slice through the turf easily at this time of year and as you go about this task it’s the work of a moment to hoik out the weeds and tufts of grass beyond the edge, a couple of feet of weed free border makes the whole garden look as if a ‘pro’ is in residence, a welcome sight as you wander through the garden with a cuppa! Perhaps the most productive thing one can do for the plants is the rather tedious job of removing all the dead leaves and clearing around the clumps of perennials, keeping a watch out for the overwintering nasties that have used that protection as a free hotel during the winter. Having a pair of garden scissors handy to dispatch these chaps before they can lay eggs is a must (and quite the most merciful speedy way to be rid of them). A top dressing of compost mixed with a little well rotted manure around the clumps, will complete their joy, and, ultimately, yours! Have a great Gardening Season. 805

GIVE THE GIFT OF GREEN FOR MOTHER'S DAY Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom's big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these "green" gifts. Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother's tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother's Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining. Select organic fruits and flowers. Companies like www.organicbouquet.com 38 www.ossekeag.ca

Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn't enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find. Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together. Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Or even head to the seaside for a relaxing day. Explore the landscape and be on the lookout for birds and washed up treasure from the sea. Plan to finish the day with a homemade, picnic lunch.
can assemble a bouquet made from responsibly grown flowers or even a wreath for a wall or door. They also have food gifts, from organic fruits to nuts. Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom's car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom's gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly

Mother's Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world. Many countries and cultures choose to celebrate Mother's Day in March, April or May. Though the Mother's Day many people know today dates back a little more than a century, historians note that ancient Romans kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of the Gods. In addition, Europe has several traditions aimed at honoring mothers that date back quite a while. One of the traditions associated with the current Mother's Day is to give Mom a gift. Some people only give their own mothers and wives gifts, while others extend their generosity to sisters with children, mothersin-law and even grandmothers. Chances are, over the years Mom's gifts have run the gamut, from a homemade treasure kids made in elementary school to jewelry from hubby to breakfast in bed. For those who want to add a literary tilt to their Mother's Day gift this year, consider including any of the following motherly quotes when preparing a gift Mom won't soon forget. "Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother." - Lin Yutang, Chinese writer "I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." - Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States of America "Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; A mother's secret hope outlives them all." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, American author "A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest." Irish proverb "All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his." Oscar Wilde, Irish poet "The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness." - Honore de Balzac, French playwright "The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother." - Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France 40 www.ossekeag.ca

Mothers Day celebrations are first said to have taken place in the time of ancient Greeks and Romans hundreds of years ago. Even Mothers Day celebrations in UK began much before the tradition began in North America. In US the efforts of Ms Julia Ward Howe and Ms Anna Jarvis are greatly recognized for starting the tradition of Mothers Day but several other women too made remarkable contribution to further the cause of Mothers Day holiday. Today Mothers Day is celebrated in more than 46 countries around the world though at different times in the month of May and for some countries it is celebrated at a totally different time of the year. Mother’s Day has come to be internationally recognized as the day to honor all mothers. The tradition of Mothers Day started with the ancient Greeks who celebrated their annual spring festival in honor of Rhea, the mother of many Gods and Goddesses in the Greek mythology. Ancient Romans too celebrated a spring festival by the name of Hilaria in honor of Cybele, a mother goddess, some 250 years before Christ was born. In UK, Mothers Day celebrations started by the name of Mothering Sunday, wherein children of poor families were send to work as apprentice and domestic servants with the rich. These children were allowed to visit their 'Mother Church' or the Cathedral of their home town annually in the middle of the fasting month of Lent. Children met their mothers after visiting the church and presented them with flowers and special 'Mothering Cakes'. The custom received a set back with the advent of Industrial Revolution when the lifestyles changes. American soldiers contributed in the revival of the tradition after the World War II. The story of Mothers Day in US began with the efforts Julia Ward Howe in 1872. An 42 www.ossekeag.ca

MOTHERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DAY
re at or ly as he
activist to the core Julia utilized her potentials to further the cause of Mothers Day. She wrote a powerful Mothers Day Proclamation in Boston in 1870 and demanded declaration of official holiday and celebrations on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Her idea gained popularity but she could not get the idea implemented. A loving daughter from West Virginia, Anna Jarvis is recognized as a 'Founder of Mothers Day' and 'Mother of Mothers Day'. Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Mrs Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis, once expressed a wish that someone should strive to provide mothers their due recognition. After her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1905, Anna's determination became strong and she along with several supporters started lobbying for the official holiday on Mothers Day. To celebrate Mothers Day, Anna began to send her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite flowers, carnations in her local church requesting people to wear them in honor of their mothers. The idea gained immense popularity over the years and in 1910, West Virginia became the first state to recognize Mothers Day holiday. On May 8th, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. By the time of Anna M. Jarvis's death, over 40 countries observed the Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, and today that number exceeds 70. Canada was one of the first nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to pick up the US version of Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, making it a national holiday in 1909, one year later the United States did. The customs largely reflect those of its southern neighbor, although in Canada there seems to be an added emphasis on doing chores for the Mother and cooking her supper.

MUSINGS By Debbie Hickey
PENPAL?
Does this concept still exist in today’s hurry-up world of instant communications? For those who may not be familiar, “Pen pals (or penpals or pen friends) are people who regularly write to each other, particularly via postal mail. A penpal relationship is often used to practice reading and writing in a foreign language, to improve literacy, to learn more about other countries and lifestyles, and to make friendships.” - Wikipedia. I had several penpals as a kid. A couple in Newfoundland, one in Nova Scotia (those seemed so far away at the time), but the two I found most interesting were in Germany. As a young teen, I was amazed at how well they could communicate in their second language when my French wasn’t much beyond “bonjour”. Even more, I was intrigued at how different their lives were from mine, and yet how much was the same. In those dark ages before Internet this was a glimpse into a culture outside my rural New Brunswick experience. Gradually, as we all grew older and our lives became busier with friends, the letters dwindled and then stopped. My mother on the other hand has penpals with whom she has corresponded for decades. A number of years ago she even had the opportunity to meet with one or two in Australia when she travelled there. Which brings me to . . . One of her Australian penpals has a niece who would love to have a penpal in Canada. I have very little info, but will share what I have and if someone is so inclined send along a letter and see what happens. Not all friendships (whether in person or long-distance) will flourish, but some may last a lifetime. Her name is Judy Orman and her address is 306 Murray Rd, Nathalia, VIC 3638, Australia. A little Google search revealed Nathalia is a little town in the southeast of Australia, not too far from Melbourne. Her interests are bushwalking (doesn’t that sound cool), birds, photography, butterflies, moths, art and U3A. Yep, that’s what it says, U3A. Back to the internet. “U3A stands for University of the Third Age. There are U3As all over the world. U3A is a learning cooperative of older people, which encourages healthy ageing by enabling members to share many educational, creative and leisure activities. What is the Third Age? The Third Age refers to the period of time after the First Age of childhood and the Second Age of employment and parental responsibility, often called “the age of active retirement”. A U3A is a university in the original sense of the word: a community of people devoted to learning and its members are in the Third Age. (http://www.u3anetvic.org.au/About.htm)” What a concept! If someone wants to start one here, I’m in! You now know everything I know on this request. Got a little time and an interest in Australia? Here is an opportunity for you to explore it further. 800
