On Our Cover
There has been talk recently in the news about the lack of sleep children are receiving, how much sleep they need to be able to learn in school, and to live a healthy life. The lack of sleep can cause health problems that can have negative results for years to come. As I listened to one report recently, the main focus discussed how social media was a cause for children and teens not receiving enough sleep to be able to function properly in school. I understand children today have much more technology to communicate with their friends than I could have ever imagined growing up, with cell phones, texting, the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube, and other sources of communication available to them. My son has a cell phone and other things that I refer to as "gizmo gadgets". He is not on these gadgets much and with his cell phone he has never reached his usage minutes and I have never paid a bill more than $30 per month. Many times his phone is dead and needs to be charged. However, my son is up late during school nights, and the cause of this is not social media or extracurricular activities, but the amount of homework that is assigned to him with the courses he is taking. My son participates in a sport one evening per week, yet different times he cannot attend this because of homework. He goes to school all day with classes from 8:30am to 3:30pm, has spent lunch times doing school work,
then after a day of being in school, he comes home and begins his homework. He takes approximately a half hour off while we have supper. .. he then goes back to his studies and most nights he is finishing near midnight. I have seen where he has had 3 tests in one day plus other assignments that were due. I have seen him doing homework to 2:00am then getting up at 6:00am to review his notes before he goes to school. If it is difficult for an adult to function on 4 to 6 hours of sleep, how can we expect our children to function on this? I realize social media can have a negative effect on our children's learning, with some children up late socializing with their friends when they should be sleeping. I feel there are different reasons why teens are up late and with regards to homework being assigned, maybe teachers can limit the amount they assign so that a child can complete all the assigned homework from the different teachers at a reasonable time. Then our children who are up late because of homework are able to go to bed at a reasonable time and be rested for the next day at school. 0001

Q. Is there anything I can do to prepare for building (rebuilding) credit? A. Before attempting to obtain and build credit you
should make sure your financial house is in order. This involves maintaining both a positive life style and establishing positive banking habits. To create a positive lifestyle you should first make sure you are living within your means. This means that you are not using credit to meet your living expenses. Make it a priority to pay your everyday living expenses on time and in full. Finally you should always be conscious of money coming into your house and where it must go. In other words, you need to create a budget based on your family income and then stick to it. Remember to budget for and set aside money for expenses that occur on an irregular basis like insurance, back to school items and Christmas. Adopting and maintaining a positive banking style involves keeping a positive balance in your bank account. Avoid using an overdraft and having NSF cheques. An easy way to do this is to open a savings account in the same bank as your working account and automatically transfer into this account on a regular basis. Even a little amount saved on a regular basis can add up over time and provide you some security. As noted in previous articles, obtaining and correcting errors in your credit report is also key to improving your future credit standing. We are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your options and help you get a Fresh Start!

ASK THE CHEF TO PRE-HEAT OR NOT PRE-HEAT Colin Sifton here from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question; When should a pans be pre-heated before cooking and how can I tell if they’re hot enough? It really depends on what you are cooking but for the most part, all pans should be pre-heated as well as ovens. Putting cold food into a cold pan and letting them heat up together tends to make your product sweat and will not give you the desired outcome. When frying meat, chicken or fish you will need a very hot pan. By cooking in a pre-heated pan with a small amount of oil, you will seal your product, trapping in all the juices and flavours which gives you a proper product. If you add any of these to a cold pan, you will see moisture beginning to appear in your pan. This has come from your meat and it has now made it less moist as well as more tough: two things you never want out of the main ingredient of your meal.
There is a really easy way to tell if your pan is hot enough. We call it the smoke point. This is when the oil in the pan just begins to smoke. This is the point where the oil begins to break down and will not get any hotter. All oils have a different smoke point. Canola oil has a smoke point of 200 degrees Celsius, where extra light olive oil is about 242 degrees C and is better for you. The oil right now that has the highest smoke point is avocado oil at 271 degrees C. You should never cook in butter, even though everyone does. The smoke point of butter is 177 degrees C but the bigger problem is that butter has milk solids as well as oil and these milk solids burn before your food is ready and some studies has shown that it may cause cancer. If you like cooking with butter, may I suggest microwaving the butter first to separate the oil from the milk solids and then use the oil to cook with.
Sunday Mornin’s Comin’ Down 11am-1:30pm 274 Main Street Hampton, NB 832-1782
Your oven should also be pre-heated for the same reasons as the pans. If you start with a cold product in a cold oven not only are you going to lose moisture and tenderness, but it will take longer for your oven to come to temperature. If you are following a timed recipe, this will no longer be accurate. I know a lot of people do not take the time to pre-heat as it takes time to coordinate the next step in your preparation, but try it and I promise you will see a difference in the end product, more compliments on your meal and a healthier meal for your family. 0040

The difference between those who give up on their resolutions and the 8% who stick with it and succeed is actually surprisingly small. It is largely in how you set and view your goals. Did you decide you want to lose 20 pounds? Go to the gym 5 days a week? Quit smoking? Do you still want to? Okay, it’s a new day, a fresh start. just for today you will.
would be the motivation you needed to show up and get your money’s worth. Perhaps it will work for you, but for most it doesn’t. There has been lots written about getting a buddy to keep you interested as it becomes both a shared social experience and a guilt trip if you don’t show up and your buddy does. One cool trick I heard of recently was at the end of the gym session you each trade one sneaker with your partner. That way if one of you does not show up and the other does he/she cannot participate because you have their shoe. Of course this only works if you wear different shoe sizes! Who knows, this may work for you. But for the rest of us, let’s look at something that does not require a partner.
Let’s use that gym membership as an example. You thought if you paid out good money for a membership that
So your goal is to go to the gym five times a week. You start off strong and get in five days. Next week you go three
So, it is nearing the end of January… how are you doing with your resolutions? If you have backslid a little don’t give up. Think back to why you made that resolution in the first place. Still want it? Then start again. Today. And tomorrow too. And the day after that if need be. Remind yourself each morning that it is a fresh start and “just for today I will . . .”
Health & Wellness
days, then the dog has to go the vet, one of the kids has a birthday party to attend and you need to pick up a gift, then it snows. You only did three days… you failed at your goal. You get discouraged and give up. Perhaps if we looked at it this way. Your goal is simply to work out more. Last week you did five times, This week you did three. In both cases, you are way ahead of the zero you were doing last month! You have changed your perspective and now you can see that both weeks are successes. It’s ok to have bad days, in fact it is perfectly normal, but don’t let those bad days turn into a bad week or month. And if you did not go to the gym at all this week, that does not mean you will not go next week. It is a new day/ week, a fresh start, and just for today you will . . .

The family of the late
Lyle Gordon Hicks of Havelock would like to express their deepest gratitude for support received since his passing on January 7th.
We thank you for the many visits to our homes, for e-mails and cards of condolence, for contributions of food, and for the abundance of flowers and memorials.
Ah, to again be the sapling Swaying in the warm breeze With birds and squirrels Nesting among my green leaves; While under my inviting boughs Lovers come to carve their names; And the gentle forest creatures Take shelter from the rain. Alas, now I stand alone against A dark forbidding landscape, My heart hollow; my roots Being consumed by broom rape, My branches are bare and twisted; And there is no more song And though their names remain The lovers have long been gone.

Thank You
The family of the late Derek Danells would like to extend many thanks to those who helped while our Dad was sick. To those who sent food, flowers, and made donations, your show of support was overwhelming. Dad was very fortunate to have such wonderful friends. Yves, for the countless hours you spent with Dad, both in Saint John and Sussex, and the many times you talked him down, we will forever be grateful. You have no idea how much comfort just seeing you in the driveway brought to us all. Bill, how many times you came to save the day, take Dad for a drive, or just sit with us. We are forever in your debt. Lynn, you were such a shining light in the darkest days. Your energy brought so much happiness to Dad, and your smile was contagious. We knew when you were with Dad we could relax, and that meant so much to us. To the nurses in Saint John, who provided Dad with kindness and wonderful support, we thank you. To the nurses and doctors in Sussex who not only treated Dad with dignity and respect, but they treated him as their own family, we are forever thankful. Al Tapley, you were our rock. You not only provided strength with prayers, you provided love, encouragement, and friendship. You were always there for us, no matter what was happening in your world, we knew we could count on you to be there for Dad, and also for us. You are truly one of a kind. We would also like to say a special thank you to the RCMP officers, both retired and still working. We always knew that the RCMP was like an extended family, but your presence felt like a warm blanket while Dad was sick, and after he passed. Thank you to those who provided the Honour Guard at his funeral. You showed such love and pride. To Wallace Funeral Home, thank you for your never ending patience with us, your professionalism and class. Never has anything so difficult been made so easy. Steve, I know how much love and pride you put into Dad's celebration, and we were so very proud to show people the memories that you helped capture for his final days with us. Gordon, Rod, and to the many Tae Kwon Do "gang" who visited and shared memories and laughs, thank you. Richard, Gordon, John, thank you all for saying such kind words at Dad's funeral. You all certainly captured Dad's spirit in your readings. We are forever grateful to have had the time with our father, to make new memories, and to remember old ones. We miss you Dad, but we know you are back where you wanted to be, with Mom. Tammy and Shawn Ann and Evans Ashley, Jacob, Marshall, Marybeth, and Maggie January 26th - February 8th, 2016

FAMILY MATTERS FAMILY WINTER PLAY IDEAS It is of no surprise that children learn through play. They learn a great deal about the importance of self-care, leisure activities and social participation through play. However, in the cold winter snowy months we can limit ourselves to home activities which can get tiresome for the whole family. If cabin fever starts settling into your home this winter, try these suggestions to get through it. 1. Participate in Winter Recreation. Taking part in winter sports is a great way to enjoy the winter months. Whether you hit the slopes, snowshoe or lace up skates this season, these are all great activities to encourage your family to get some fresh air, exercise, and develop coordination skills. Going to a hockey or basketball game also gives children an opportunity to learn about teamwork, and leisure activities from observing the pros. 2. Winter Drives to Nowhere. If the roads permit it, drive to locations unknown
and use the outing as a jumping-off point for car games like I Spy and the License Plate Game. If you are close enough, visit your favorite family beach. The car can be a wonderful place for sharing facts, map reading, learning about historical sites and storytelling. Drives develop a sense of direction along with wonder. 3. Build a Snowman or Fort. Help your kids build a snowman and/or snow fort this winter in your own backyard or at a park. Create a children-friendly home base, or quiet winter hideaway. The digging needed to build forts and snow structures provides plenty of opportunities for your kiddos to develop their gross motor skills, upper body strength and coordination. Loose items like rocks and sticks, that are easily moved around promote all kinds of imagination, creativity and teamwork. Coloring the snow can also add the element of whimsy. Afterwards go indoors and enjoy a nice
cup of hot chocolate! 4. Visit the Park. Take the family to an outdoor park where everyone can explore, hike, collect objects and look out for New Brunswick wildlife in their winter habitat. A winter day at the park offers children another occasion to learn, communicate, interact with their sensory filled environment, and develop cognitive skills. By making the effort to get outside, even when it’s cold and snowy, you are setting a wonderful example for your kids. This week, enjoy the parenting journey and a little play out in the snow. 0006

Projects include: Resident room renovations and upgrades; New courtyard; New wheelchair accessible van; Resident wing corridor renovations; Dining and lounge area renovations; Administration wing, lobby & staff area renovations.

HAMPTON HISTORY MILLING AND CURLING IN HAMPTON 1. The Flewwelling Company, Hampton, expects to cut about nine million feet [of lumber], this winter.” (KCR, January 25, 1907) [Note: The Flewwelling Mill at Hampton employed many men. It was located near the current “docks” behind today’s River Centre.] 2. “On the first Thursday in December 1890 [Dec. 2], there met at the residence of MR. E. L. Whittaker, Messrs. G. M. Wilson, Cecil S. March, J. Ernest Whittaker, D. J. Bruce, J. M. Humphrey, F. M. Humphrey, L. W. Peters, H. Ernest fowler, W. O. Stewart, F. W. Hall and E. L. Whittaker to consider the advisability of forming a Curling Club in Hampton. It was so unanimously resolved so to do and those present were enrolled as charter members. Its first officers were then elected: G. M. Wilson, president; J. E. Whitaker, secretary; Cecil March, Treasurer; and a managing committee consisting of Messrs. F. W. Hall. G. M. Wilson and F. M. Humphrey. It was decided to buy eight pairs of news [sic; shoes?]. They arrived on Christmas Eve and the first curling was done on Christmas day. Very little curing was done that winter as they had to play on the river [Ossekeag Creek] the ice of which was never level and good curling thereon was impossible. One
match was played that winter against the Thistle Club of St. John, who won the game. The next year the members met and re-elected the old officers. They still used the ice on the river for curling. Two matches were played that winter, one each with the Thistles and St. Andrews clubs of St. John, in both of which the club was defeated. At a special meeting held in the following summer it was decided to buy a piece of ground and build a rink. Those who suggested building only expected a rink enclosed by a rough shed to keep out the snow, and not the fine building which the club at present owns[s]. Mr. J. Ernest Whittaker consented to try and get a donation from each of the members and also get new members. Mr. Whittaker succeeded far beyond his expectations and the membership reached twenty-nine. Those who contributed and are not members of the club were Messrs. H. D. McLeod and Philip Palmer of St. John and here I might state that it was due mainly to the efforts of J. Ernest Whittaker, G. M. Wilson and E. L. Whittaker in the first instance and later on with the able assistance of Mr. F. G. Evans that the club has such a fine rink today. The ground was bought and the contract given to construct the building; it is to be completed in time for curling
the winter of 1893.” (KCN, January 3, 1895) 3. “Pioneer Spirit Helped Build Hampton Curling Club … Celebrating their 75th Anniversary with a two-day bonspiel in a new rink just completed last fall, some of the “old timers” reminisced about the days gone by and predicted a bright future for the club. … Mr. [Alen N.] MacGowan said that the club members built a two-sheet rink in 1892 which was used right up until this season when the new $55,000 rink was built by John Walker Construction Ltd. of Fair Vale.” (ETG, January 8, 1966) [Note: Mr. MacGowan, because of his contributions to curling, is a member of the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame and is a member of the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame.] CODE: KCR Kings County Record (published in Sussex); ETG Evening Times-Globe (published in Saint John; KCN Kings County News (published in Hampton). 0031

HEALTH MATTERS DO PROBIOTICS PREVENT TRAVELLER’S DIARRHEA? Probiotics are bacteria that maintain the natural balance of organisms in the intestines. Our digestive tract contains about 400 different types of probiotic bacteria (microflora) that protect us from harmful bacteria and maintain a healthy digestive system. Probiotics are available in a number of foods and as dietary supplements. Probiotics may help lower the risk of developing traveler’s diarrhea although the evidence is limited. The strongest evidence points to Saccharomyces boulardii, Lactobacillus rhamnosis and Bifidobacteria bifidum strains of probiotics. Are probiotics safe? Generally probiotic foods and supplements contain bacterial that are natural to our gastrointestinal tract and therefore should not cause harm. However, if a patient is immunocompromised or has a condition that may cause some leaking of their bowel or gut flora, then they need to have a discussion with their physician before starting supplemental probiotics. To avoid getting traveller’s diarrhea, you should: Wash your hands often with soap
and water, especially after you use the bathroom or before you eat; Try to choose restaurants that are busy and clean, avoid buffets. Food should be recently cooked, served very hot; Avoid raw fruits/vegetables and undercooked meats/seafood; Avoid tap water and ice; Choose beverages in factorysealed containers or made using boiling water. If you develop traveller’s diarrhea, you should drink lots of fluids, especially young children. Tea with some sugar is a good choice and soup is another. If you are dizzy, eat salted snacks or add 1/3 tsp of salt to a cup of bottled water. In serious cases, you can drink a rehydration solution, usually available at most pharmacies. Half-strength Gatorade (half and half with water) can also be effective. You might also consider packing an antibiotic. Drugs are available that can stop diarrhea for a short time and can be helpful for symptomatic relief, until the antibiotic starts to work. Always make sure that your product has a Natural Product Number (NPN). This
ensures that the company has demonstrated to Health Canada that the product and the dose on the label are accurate and that the product has met with basic standardization and claim requirements. When buying probiotics, look for one that contains the specific organism for the purpose that you are using the product - to prevent traveller’s diarrhea, look for Saccharomyces boulardii. Third, remember these are live bacteria; check the expiry dates and that the product is viable “through the end of shelf life” rather than “at the time of manufacturing”. Check for storage requirements, and be sure the product has been stored properly. Talk to your pharmacist to help decipher the information about a specific product and its use. 0043

LIVE WELL SELF-ESTEEM - WHERE CAN I GET SOME? stop looking for perfection in others. Third, stop comparing yourself to others. We are all different. The human race is not comprised of cookie-cutter people. We all have skills, abilities and strengths in different spheres. Our worth is not based on what we own, look like, our money, power or position. A famous saying attributed to Helen Keller states: “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart." Fourth, be open to outcomes and opportunities. Sometimes not getting a certain job or relationship is a blessing in disguise, as it may spare us some future hurt or loss. Turn challenges into opportunities or stumbling blocks into stepping stones. Fifth, you matter so don’t neglect yourself in order to give to others. It has been said that “a hundred and eighty degrees from dysfunctional is still dysfunctional.” It is all about balance. Treat yourself as well as you do others. Stop trying to get self-worth by
Sharp’s
pleasing people, as it perpetuates the belief that “you matter… I don’t.” Healthy selfesteem says that we both matter. Sixth, be patient with yourself. Changing negative thinking is hard work, and doing something once does not make a habit! Remember, self-esteem is an inside job; it is not something others can give us but they can negatively affect it if we do not practice healthy boundaries. Make the opinion you have of yourself matter more than that of others. It’s a New Year and it’s time for a new you. You have the capacity to change, and Gentle Path offers programs and services that can help. All the best in the New Year! 0008

Individuals often complain of low selfesteem, which begs the question “why do some people have healthy self-esteem and others do not?” Factors influencing self-esteem include being taught to fear or avoid self-love; comparisons; told to be humble to avoid coming across as arrogant and grandiose; putting ourselves down and devaluing achievements or skills; not trusting our feelings or valuing our opinions. Often, we allow the opinion of others to be the one we have of ourselves. The first step in building self-esteem is to value our opinions, feelings, talents and abilities. Eleanor Roosevelt once said that: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Secondly, stop speaking and thinking negatively about yourself! We are all perfectly imperfect human beings; we make mistakes, mess up and do not always make good choices. Learning to forgive our imperfections has a two-fold benefit - not only do we feel better but we are also able to
