Well, tomorrow morning we head off for a traditional short family vacation with one daughter and granddaughter. You know, the one I keep telling her... she just isn’t that grand!! I think, she does enjoy my teasing. At least I hope so ‘cause she sure gets a lot of it!! So, four days and three nights on PEI for this year and I certainly don’t mind doing it for the Kid, but I do have a problem with the whole idea of vacation. Like... why would I escape from doing what I want to do. If I wasn’t enjoying myself, I would do something different. They say a change is as good as a rest, but I don’t need a rest... I want to get that darn bridge finished... about 20 more tractor buckets of rocks. Sure, I occasionally take a day off, especially if the weather is hot and humid, but I don’t need to get away. I like it where I am. I’m surrounded out in the woods with interesting and stimulating company. And the deer are always upbeat and friendly. Our commercial wood harvest is officially underway, starting this
morning and likely going for several weeks. My hope is that this clearing out of the junk wood may be the last large scale cutting that the property needs. I’ll be keeping a watch over what is happening over the next 20 to 40 years and evaluate as we go along. What?? So... you don’t think I can last another 40 years?? Hah!! Why, I still haven’t even grown up yet!! Maturity is at least 40 years away. Don’t believe me?? When The Kid and I get to Shining Waters, we will board the pirate ship, engage the pirates in a nasty battle and escape by sliding down the long shute. I mean... being a kid is just so much darn fun, why would anyone want to grow up. So while YOU are remembering fondly your childhood... I’m still living mine!! 0002

SELF ESTEEM SELF CARE Often we think of self care as personal hygiene. While looking good (and smelling good) on the outside is important, feeling good on the inside is just as important if not more so. Taking care of oneself is not selfish. It is necessary! How can you possibly give 100% to others when you are only navigating at 20%? Self care is imperative for your overall health. When you feel good, you look good and vice versa. I’m sure each of us is familiar with the helium balloon. Perhaps you have received one to celebrate a milestone in your life. For the first few days, it bobs in the air, bright and beautiful. However, it slowly begins to shrivel and shrink and hits the floor, totally deflated. It is possible to rejuvenate that balloon. Fill it back up with helium and it will be as good as new. If we did this on a regular basis, we could enjoy that balloon for months. We are much like a helium balloon. No matter how “filled” we begin our day, we often “leak”; getting stressed and overwhelmed. We become deflated (hopefully not hitting the floor). The key is to find the thing that breathes life back into us and remembering to apply it to ourselves often throughout our day. Too often, we allow ourselves to become “deflated” like that helium balloon. We say ‘yes’ to everyone and deny ourselves the chance to rejuvenate and become as good as new. You may find these following tips on self care helpful: Take time to do the
things you like to do. Find a hobby you enjoy; Cherish your loved ones. Spend time with them; Learn from your mistakes. Forgive yourself and others, we are only human. We all make mistakes; Do not complicate your life unnecessarily. Just because you have a thought, that does not make it true. Investigate and find the truth; Try to understand and encourage those around you. Become a cheerleader. Tell others you appreciate what they do and how well they do it; Do not give up. No one is instantly an expert. Keep trying; Discover and nurture your talents. Each of us has our own things that only we can do and do well. Take pride in that; Set goals for yourself and pursue your dreams; Choose to bob around bright and beautiful, as only you can. Remember to refill your air supply. Take time to just breathe. This will make dealing with the ‘leaks’ (the stresses and struggles) of our daily lives a whole lot easier. Realize you are worth the effort. There is only one you and you deserve to be happy. 0027

ASK THE CHEF BLUEBERRY TIME Colin Sifton here again, from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. We are all just waiting for blueberry season to start. Blueberries is one of those foods that is so great for us and taste great at the same time. Canadian production of wild and cultivated blueberries in 2015 was 166,000 tonnes valued at $262 million, the largest fruit crop produced nationally. Atlantic Canada produces almost half of North American lowbush blueberries and New Brunswick contributes to the largest amount from Atlantic Canada. Whether they are cooked, frozen or fresh, blueberries are definitely a staple in our annual food cycle. Blueberries consist of 14% carbohydrates, 0.7% protein, 0.3% fat and 84% water. They are high manganese, vitamin C, vitamin K and dietary fiber. They are also high in antioxidants. Blueberries are sold fresh or processed as individually
quick frozen fruit, purée, juice, or dried, which in turn may be used in a variety of consumer goods, such as jellies, jams, blueberry pies, muffins, snack foods and an additive to breakfast cereals. I like them fresh, all by themselves. So one way I always enjoyed having blueberries is in a dessert called Blueberry Grunt. It is a simple dessert that is better served warm. Blueberry sauce: 2 cups of blueberries, 3 tbls water, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Add all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 3 minutes and thicken with cornstarch. You want it to be thick enough so it coats the back of a spoon. Dumplings: 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter (hard), 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tbls baking powder, pinch of salt. Add flour and butter to a bowl and bind together like you are making a pie. You should get little pea shapes. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

In a casserole dish, place your blueberry sauce. The sauce should be at least 2” deep in the dish. With a spoon, make small balls of dumplings and place on top of the sauce. Cover and cook at 300 for 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool down. If you pull it out of the oven when you sit down to start eating, it should be a perfect temperature when dessert time comes around. Scoop out into a bowl at least one dumpling and cover with the sauce and top with fresh whipped cream. If you have never had this kind of dessert, you are in for a treat. 0040

gETTINg REAdY FOR BACK TO SCHOOL As the lazy days of summer start to wind down and the start of the new school year looms in the near future, now is the time to put some pieces in place to ease into school days this fall. A few adjustments to the daily routine can have a big payback when school starts! September 6th is the first day
of school for most local students, although there are some “staggered entries” for children starting at a new school. It is suggested that 2 weeks prior to that date you start the process of adjusting sleep and wake times to closely imitate that which will be required when class begins. It is pretty normal to find that sleep and wake times have become a mite lax over
the summer. Rather than risk a tired grumpy child the first days of school, it is preferable to start the transition to school hours early. This allows for small adjustments over several days rather than one rude shock! Giving each child their own alarm clock and getting them to take responsibility for their own wake times is entirely appropriate at a fairly young age.
Drivers: Please remember to watch for and obey the traffic signs. Be aware of increased pedestrian traffic on crosswalks.
What type of education are you choosing for your child this fall? • Strong academics? • Biblical focus? • Qualified and caring staff? • An environment for healthy growth? Now accepting registrations for JK-3&4 to Grade 12 A purposeful future for every student

Don’t wait for the last minute to do your school shopping. Many businesses now start their back to school sales in July, so there is no need to hold out waiting for the sale prices, the sale price is already here. If your children are in elementary school you may be one of the lucky parents who simply pays a set fee and the school will provide everything but a backpack, lunch bag and indoor sneakers, but most are not so lucky. A good closet cleaning before clothes shopping is a good idea, as is having your child try on some of those jeans they haven’t worn since mid-June. It is amazing how much a child can grow in two months and how many of those pant legs are no longer anywhere near long enough. A shared family calendar, whether on the fridge or shared on everyone’s electronic device, is the number one organizational tool for busy families. Colour coding by individual can let everyone quickly see who needs to be where and when. This is important at any time of the year, but becomes critical during those first weeks of school/fall activities while everyone settles into the new routines. Look for learning opportunities during these last weeks of summer. Summer learning loss is real, so take advantage of every opportunity to counteract it. This may be anything from having a child assist in baking by doing the measuring and discussing fractions, or perhaps
practicing making change by playing “shops”. Encourage more reading. Take time to talk to your child about any worries or fears they may have about school. They will have a new teacher, new classmates, perhaps a new school. Are they worried about the kid who bullied them last year or whether there will problems on the bus? Emphasize the positive experiences they will have without disregarding their concerns. The most important thing is they know you will listen and work through any issues with them. Organize ahead for the first day of school. Ensure there is a spot for homework and a “launch pad” where everything needed for the morning will be stored. Decide ahead what to wear, take for lunch, what needs to be taken. Check the school district website for any changes to the bus schedule or route or practice the walk to school if it is a new school or new experience. Helping your child create a checklist for themselves will not only ensure the first morning of school goes off smoothly but also teaches them organizational and planning skills. And the final word of advice? Set out the sneakers they are going to wear by the door the night before so there is no mad scramble in the morning looking in closets and under the couch for a matching pair!

CELEBRATION OF HISTORY THROUGH ART & MUSIC The historic hamlet of Hatfield Point will be offering views into its past through an exhibition of 30 watercolour paintings of local landmarks, and walking tours telling the story of Hatfield Point from 1783 onward. The event is sure to be one of historical and artistic significance, of interest to locals, history buffs, and tourists. You will enjoy seeing familiar landmarks and views through the eyes of Columbia trained Henrietta Fernstrom, whose many summers on the Belleisle were an opportunity to capture her favourite locations in paint. This is a unique opportunity to see some buildings now gone forever, restored in beautiful colour. The art will be on display Friday, August 26: 2:00-7:00pm; Saturday, August 27
11:00am-5:00pm, on loan from the estate of the painter. The Hatfield Point Baptist Church Hall will be the focal point of the exhibition, complete with tea and sandwiches, from which you may join a guided tour, hosted by the Bayview Cemetery, of the heart of Hatfield Point, with stories and facts on the points of historic interest. Guided tours depart from the Church Hall Friday at 2:30 and 4:00pm; Saturday 1:00pm. Easy strolling, 25 minutes. Rounding out the entertainment, SWIG, the Maritime Celtic band from Nova Scotia will be providing music from 7:00-9:00pm.

FAMILY MATTERS LESSONS FROM THE FAMILY PET There are many well-documented benefits for children growing up with pets. Through interacting with cats, dogs, fish and hamsters, children learn about the world around them and skills that are useful at home, school and play. Cognitive – When children live with pets they inevitably learn more about that animal and what is needed to care for it such as where it originated and how often it needs feeding. This develops memory, attention and their academic interest. Pets also offer children a wide range of sensory input. The fur, wet licks or slippery skin provide a sensory rich environment for children to learn. Physical – Playtime with a cat or dog can help with walking, running, crawling, squatting, jumping, and more. Even coordination is challenged when children have a pet - because sometimes they must walk and carry the pet at the same time. Environmental – Our kiddos gain knowledge about their pets’ ideal
environmental living conditions and how those can be re-created at home. Safety, enclosures and heat all become important considerations. Emotions – Caring for a pet requires compassion, understanding and empathy. Kids learn to be kind and to take care of others’ basic needs. Children also learn strategies for coping and communicating their emotions with a loss of a pet too. Self-care – When children care for another they learn the significance of caring for themselves. When they need to feed the cat every day, they learn the need for proper hydration, healthy food and routine. Responsibility – Pets require daily feeding, exercise, and affection, not to mention grooming and cleaning up after them. When children are given the responsibility to care for an animal they must touch them gently, tend to their needs, and learn not to disturb them when they’re eating or sleeping. Caring
for a pet boosts children’s self-esteem and provides purposefulness needed for school and sport. Social Skills – Although bonding with a new pet can take time, children will learn patience during training and while the pet becomes comfortable in the home. Interacting with pets teaches children not just about personal space and patience, but about sharing, communicating, taking turns, following rules, respect and trust. By including children in the care of the family pet, they not only learn how to nurture it, they learn how to interact with it in meaningful ways. This week enjoy the parenting journey and your family pet. 0006 Anita Hofmann Occupational Therapist

Thank YouSo Much
The Family of the late John Young Jackson would like to say thank you to all of those who expressed sympathy, visited our homes, attended the funeral service and attended the Celebration of Life for John. Thank you to those who sent flowers, made memorial donations, sent us cards, brought food to our homes and performed other acts of caring. Your kindness is very much appreciated. Thank you to Reverend Chris VanBuskirk, Gail Carpenter and Sherwood’s Funeral Home, you all made a difficult time a little easier to bear, with your personal touches and professionalism. Jack Carpenter, thank you for always looking after the graveyard. Pallbearers Lorne Totten and John Cookson, you are true family friends. Daryl McKiel, thank you for being there these past weeks. Harry & Donalda Storey and Family, Kevin Cole and all those who helped the boys give John one last ride by horse and wagon, he would have been so proud! Thank you!

Families who come to the Café each month enjoy refreshments, entertainment, education and friendship. The Memory Café reduces social isolation and provides information and education for families. If you would like to get involved in the Memory Café and have five hours a month that you can share we would appreciate hearing from you.

OBITUARIES JACKSON, John Young The death of John Young Jackson occurred at the Sussex Health Centre on July 6th, 2016. John was the second child and eldest son of the late John and Beatrice (White) Jackson. He was born March 21st, 1929 in his grandfather White’s home at Burnhead Farm, District of Lesmahagow, County of Lanark, Scotland. In April 1931 his family immigrated to Canada, settling on the former Glen Elm Farm in McDonald’s Point. This remained his home for 85 years. Through the years John worked at lumbering, in Ducey’s Mill, driving truck, farming, and retired in 1992 as Road Supervisor for the Department of Transportation, Wickham. At this time he was able to concentrate on the farm and his beloved Belgian horses. While health permitted, he was a standard fixture at the Co-op Livestock Auctions, Sussex, and for many years a regular at the nightly community council meetings held at Ducey’s Store. John attended many fairs and exhibitions, and judged numerous horse hauling competitions around the area, however there was no place like Gagetown and the Queen’s County Fair. He could always be found standing against the fence watching the events in the ring or “up in the corner” by the family’s horse stalls. On October 27th, 1956 John married Bertha Leona Jones. Together they raised their family and opened their home to several foster children. Through the years, over a dozen youth called the farm home and a couple still considered him Dad. Their farm also provided a “summer camp” for local children, nieces, nephews and the families of
friends from the New England states. Besides his wife, John is survived by his son John (Beth), McDonald’s Point; daughter Margaret (Richard) Keirstead, Midland; chosen sons Paul (Heather) Lockhart, Joliff ’s Brook and Robert (Melissa) Noel, Jeffries Corner; grandchildren John Eric (Terese Preston), Shawn (Sharlene) and Justin Jackson, Garrett (Taylor McLean) and Lauren Keirstead, Rebecca and Shannon Lockhart, and Dylan Noel; great-grandchildren Kyla, Brody and Shealyn Jackson; sisters Marion (Minnie) Whittaker, St.George/ Kars, Jane (Jean) Gooding, Christina Jackson and Janet (Jessie) Wotypka, and brothers David and Thomas (wife Linda), all of St. Thomas, ON; firstcousin Jack Scott, NZ; sister-in-law Shirley Jones-Reicker; brothers-in-law George and Cst. Ronald (wife Karen) Jones; and several nieces and nephews. John was predeceased by his sister Beatrice Ferris (2016); brothers-in-
law Kenneth Whittaker (2007), Ralph (Dick) Gooding (2012), George Ferris (2013) and Michael Wotypka (2015) and sisters-in-law Marion JonesReicker (2014) and Evelyn Jackson (2015). Following cremation, a private family service was held on Saturday, July 16th, 2016 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Carpenter, Parish of Wickham. The service was officiated by Rev. Chris VanBuskirk. The musical prelude was performed on the Irish flute by Gail Carpenter who also sang “Where the Roses Never Fade”. The congregational hymn was “In the Garden”. The 23rd Psalm was read by granddaughter Lauren Keirstead, and memories provided by grandson Garrett Keirstead. He took his final ride by horse and wagon for interment at the Day’s Point Cemetery. Pallbearers were Lorne Totten and John Cookson. His grandchildren, their partners, and great-grandchildren served as Honorary Pallbearers. Following the interment, a public “Celebration of John’s Life” was held at the Midland Community Hall. Floral arrangements were received from Terrapure, Sussex; his Ontario siblings and their families; and sister Marion Whittaker and family. Memorial donations were made to several organizations including ExtraMural, Sussex; Kidney Foundation NB; Sussex Dialysis Unit; Saint John Dialysis Unit and the Heart & Stroke Foundation. A memorial plaque will be donated to the Queen’s County Fair Horse Pull in September. Arrangements were entrusted to the care of Sherwood’s Funeral Service Inc., Norton. 0007

IN THE gARdEN TREES AND BLOOMS He plants trees to benefit another generation. ~ Caecilius Statius. A fine and noble statement and with many of our Garden centres offering great prices on an assortment of trees it’s to be hoped that folk will be moved to enhance their gardens and air quality by planting some. However, sound common sense needs to be used in purchasing; even the professional landscape chaps frequently plant young Maples, Oaks, Lindens and the like in spots where they haven’t a hope in Hades of reaching their full potential. Many plantings are ultimately felled because they threaten roofs, basements and buildings. So the first order of the day is to affirm what space the full grown tree needs to avoid such calamities; I planted a 12” Oak seedling 34 years ago and it’s been like watching a miracle unfold to observe it grow into a magnificent shade tree, home to assorted lifeforms, a limb to attach a swing to and a welcome spot to place a

garden seat on a hot day. Since an Oak can live to be 200 years it’s safe to say that my chap will afford pleasure to many generations long after I cease to sit in its shade. When you get the tree home, a couple of days in a tub of water will refresh it while you dig a hole twice as wide as the pot or root ball and slightly deeper than is needed for the tree to be at the same level in the ground as it occupied in the pot or the top of the root ball. A mixture of good topsoil, compost and bone meal should be placed in the bottom of the hole and a careful tweaking of the roots to loosen them up should be done before planting, more of the mixture is needed to fill the hole leaving a slight trench around it for holding the daily watering. Four support posts should be placed evenly around it and a pliable, strong, soft, fabric like strapping arranged to support it until it is well established. You may need a little fencing for the first few years to protect
it from the jaws of the white tails and friends. On to something easier! We are blessed with an abundance of colourful Day Lilies, such that, with careful choice of types, we can enjoy their beauty until frost comes our way; but, but only if we deadhead on a daily basis. The blossoms only last a day, but unless the spent blooms are snapped off, many of the emerging buds will never bloom; dead wet flowers soak up the water and frequently rot the bloom in waiting, this is true of pretty well all flowers. The act of deadheading is truly satisfying, affording the opp or tunit y to enjoy the bounty with little physical effort. Betty Kennett, Blessings. 0045 Resident Green Thumb

MUSINgS WHO ARE YOU? Any fans of the original CSI? Remember the theme song? For many who are searching for their ancestral roots, the chorus is a constant echo in the back of the head. Tracking down who begat who is just the first step to gaining a grasp of who and where we came from. Fortunately for us, the plethora of information available on the internet has made this information so much more accessible than a few years ago. Over the past few months I have enjoyed hunting down ancestors on both my maternal and paternal sides and was surprised to discover that both sides of the family came here from Ireland rather than Scotland or England. Michael of course refuses to believe I could be of Irish ancestry, being far to “stick-in-the-mud” to be Irish! No doubt if I keep digging further back I will find the families came to Ireland from England and Scotland, but I have not made it that far back as yet. I have however found one ancestor
who came over to North American as a member of the Black Watch and fought in the American Revolutionary War and another who came to New Brunswick from New England as a Loyalist. I have heard genealogical research likened to a giant crossword or a jigsaw puzzle. Since I do love to research and dig out facts, it is no wonder this appeals to me. But as part of the search you find yourself learning a whole lot about history and social conditions and reasons for immigration and, well you get the picture. What starts out as a simple search for one’s roots can morph into a much broader project that really has no finite boundaries. You can continue for as long and as far you you wish. If you are interested in starting the hunt for your own ancestors, the New Brunswick Provincial Archives has a great website to begin (if your immediate ancestors are from NB that is). From there you can then wander the globe using sites such as
ancestry.com or myheritage.com. Some sites want you to buy a membership, but there is much to be had for free. Certainly plenty to get you started so you can then decide if a membership is worthwhile. Happy hunting! “Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) 'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) ~ Pete Townshend. 0001
