BLOOMIN’ ARTISTS 2015 On July 25 & 26 more than 30 artists of all disciplines will descend on the town and scatter themselves throughout the many beautiful gardens and scenic spots in our community to produce pieces that are then rushed to the Lighthouse River Centre to be sold by silent auction. It is a fun event over two days and is eagerly looked forward to by both artists and patrons. Bloomin’ Artists is a wonderful opportunity to purchase affordable paintings - and this year jewellery, pottery and fibre art – by some of New Brunswick’s most celebrated artists. There will be a kids’ art project going on at the same time on the Saturday and all ages are welcome to participate for free. The event is the main fundraiser for the Hampton John Peters Humphrey Foundation and allows the foundation to continue its work of promoting awareness of human rights and the legacy of John Peters Humphrey.

GETTING READY FOR THE 5 - MILER The Hampton Five Miler will be held on the Sunday morning after Labour Day weekend and is regarded by the running community as one of the very best - in terms of enjoyment and quality for participants of all ages and ability - in Atlantic Canada. The 5-Miler is both a very competitive event and it is also a very fun, recreational event for people who aren’t interested in competing. If this year’s Five Miler will be your first, then your time on September 13 will be your PB (personal best), and your goal for 2016 might be to just be faster than your 2015 time. The 5-Miler is a family event, and there are runs for younger people, too, on 5-Miler morning. Google “Hampton River Runners” to find out more about the Kids’ Kilometre (ages 12 years & under) and the Three-for-Me 3K (16 & under). There’s an excellent map of the 5-Miler course on the Hampton River Runner website as well. Keep moving… use it or lose it. 0034

SUSSEX KEY CLUB NEWS This year has been a busy year for the Club. They have helped out with the Sussex Kiwanis Club fundraisers, the Fall Auction and the Home Show. Also this year they sold Calendars, packed groceries, helped with various school programs and this spring aerated lawns for local citizens. This group also sent several girls to the Key Club Convention, held in London Ontario and had a great learning experience at the Key Leader Program held in Oromocto. The Convention gives the Club a chance to interact with other High School Key Clubs within the District. These interactions lead to the exchange of service ideas and long lasting friendships. They attend workshops and lectures as well as having some down time to explore the city. The Key Leader program is a weekend of fantastic friendship building, learning, teaching and interacting with other students both from our local and New Brunswick schools. The main focus is teaching the students how to engage others both within their own clubs and how to get things accomplished as a

ASK THE CHEF BEGINNING WITH FRENCH TOAST Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and catering with another answer to your question. One question I get a lot is when did I start cooking and what was the first thing I ever made. So here is the story. When I was between 10 and 12 years old, I came down for breakfast one day and my parents were eating French Toast. I asked what it was and how to make it. My mother described it to me and I went into the kitchen to make my own. A few minutes later I came back with my own French Toast. My mother was quite surprised and a bit mad because I wasn’t allowed to play with the stove, but I think a little impressed that I could produce this French Toast. From that point on, for every Sunday, I can remember having to make French Toast for the whole family after church. Became a bit of a tradition. So if you haven’t ever had or made French Toast, it is very easy to do and I nice change to your everyday breakfast. You start with one egg and a quarter cup of milk. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and maybe a splash of vanilla. Whisk together until your eggs has completely and evenly mixed with your milk. If you do not, then you will see the whites of the egg on the bread. It’s not bad, just doesn’t look as nice. Heat your pan. Take two or three slices of bread and coat both sides with your batter. Do not submerge your bread or leave it too long. This is one of the major errors in making
french toast. Your bread will become very soggy and soggy French Toast is a bit gross. For the best results, use dried bread. This is a great way to use bread that may have become dry and you would usually throw out or just take the bread out a few hours before making your dish. What this does is allows more batter to soak in without making your french toast soggy. From French Toast I moved into pancakes, both pre-mix and from scratch. The secret to a good pancake I learnt from my father, who told me not to play with it, but let it cook. Once you see bubbles forming on the top side of the pancake, you know it is time to flip it. Even today when I am making pancakes, this lesson comes to mind. That is what cooking is to me. Lessons you learnt growing up and lessons you learn each day, coming together to produce something new or adding a twist to something old. 0040

himself instead of putting on his shoes is sometimes a needed reality check. He needs to slow down in the way he knows best, and so do we. Moral of the story – children do things that can drive their parents nuts, but often the stuff that makes parents batty is integral to children’s cognitive and emotional well-being. Wearing capes, nose picking, animal sounds, imaginary friends, food cravings and other generally unusual practices are not only healthy but often helpful to children’s growth. This week, embrace your child’s unique habits and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

When one works with families, one comes across a lot of parents who share stories about their children’s unexplained behaviors. Despite the fact that children can engage in activities that can range from annoying to worrisome, in most cases, the behaviors fall within what is developmentally to be expected. To calm parents’ frazzled nerves it can be useful to make the connection between their children’s unusual habits and the role those habits have on their learning and emotional growth. The Muddy Child: Some parents may panic at the constant sight of their child’s running nose and stain filled or muddy clothes. A grubby face and stained clothes can all be seen as opportunities for learning. It is through the dirt and stains that children interact with their environment and all the sensory richness it has to offer.
The Repeater: Hearing a child read or sing the same book or song over and over can make a parent bonkers. Indulge the repetition. It is helpful for speech, rhyming and developing rhythm. Hearing the same words and phrases repeatedly serves to cement them into a child’s growing vocabulary and appropriate social interactions. The Collector: Children like to collect things but as parents we have a tendency to see their collections as random piles of mess that spread throughout the house. For our children, they are learning about their world one rock, ball, sticker or item at a time. Allow the collections of assorted stuff to be a chance to educate and teach organizational skills. Avoid cleaning up after them. Work alongside them to develop a system of sorting that works for everyone. The Slow-Poke: Every family needs a dilly-dallier. In a world where we all feel chronically rushed, with our brains as crammed as our calendars, a child rambling around the house talking to

ended up handing over around $180,000, or twice the value of the apartment. While Jeanne was no health nut we know today that as the body gets older things that were once easy and taken for granted become challenges and obstacles. Some of them are clearly visible, an overly tight jar lid can be a pain at any age; other challenges can go unnoticed but are still preventable. Did you know, that passed the age of fifty the body has a reduced capacity to produce vitamin D, and because of our northern latitude we can expect practically no Vitamin D from the sun during the winter. Vitamin D supplements and other multi-vitamins can help your body get the vitamins and minerals that it needs to keep going strong. If you are on other medications or are thinking of starting a vitamin routine, talk with your doctor and find out what is recommended for you. Jeanne lived an exceptionally long life, one that most of us can never hope to match, but there are some lessons we can take away from Jeanne. She had a hobby which kept her both mobile and gave her something to look forward to. She had a diet rich in olive oil, which is abundant with healthy fats. She knew when it was time to stop living on her own, and to accept help from others. She was a calm person, who

At the age of ninety, Jeanne had no heirs and decided to sell her apartment, but she didn’t want to leave her home. So, she struck a bargain with fortyseven year old, André-François Raffray. André must have thought he got quite the bargain. Ninety year old Jeanne would receive a monthly payment of 2,500 francs until she died, and André would get the apartment when she could no longer live there. Jeanne continued to live for another thirty years and would outlive André, who would die of cancer at seventy-seven. His widow continued to make the monthly payments until Jeanne passed away. After thirty years of making payments on what must have seemed like a great deal, Raffray

IN THE GARdEN A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET... But, if you are to get the very best from your roses, a bit of care now that they are blooming will pay dividends and lengthen the period where the fragrance and the beauty of the blooms can be enjoyed. First and foremost the deadheading of the spent blossoms is vital if a succession of flowers is to be obtained; removal of the dead blooms causes the bush to produce more buds, the sole purpose of these wonderful bushes is to set seed and ensure the survival of the species, nipping off the flower head before it produces seed will encourage the bush to great heights of endeavour, benefiting us all with more plentiful blooms. This information of course is only valid for those roses that claim to be repeat or continuous bloomers, there are many that only bloom once such as the Double Scotch and Charles De Mills. In those

cases I often snip of the first flush of spent blooms in order to maintain a visually attractive aspect, but then leave some to produce Rose hips for the birds to eat. Next on the agenda is to pick up any leaves that fall, along with a regular weeding, so that a clean area surrounds the bush; essential for keeping fungus and caterpillars at bay. Once everything is cleaned up a dressing of ripe manure and compost applied around the bush will do it the world of good; no need to dig it in and risk root damage, that’s what we hire the worms to do!! Despite doing all these good things, there’s still a chance that dedicated caterpillars will feel duty bound to ‘visit and violate’; these can be dealt with easily by taking a small stick and gently but briskly giving the branches a swift tap, the caterpillars will fly off in all directions and then are easy prey for many varieties of birds that are happy to do some fine dining on them! Because of the abundant rainfall there will likely be more evidence of ‘black spot’, though unsightly, this is really not
a problem, however if the steps above are taken it should be only a minor irritation. The garden centres are displaying a wide variety of roses, some of which are pretty deer resistant; three that do really well are the ‘Old Fashioned’ types such as Dart’s Dash, Hansa and Blanc Doublet de Coubert, they all sport good sized blooms and are repeaters. For a more dainty flower the Grootendorst series do well, even though the deer rarely bother them in my garden, I do spray them for a week or two with 1 Tbsp each of Listerine + Murphy’s oil soap in 1 L water when I plant them, very young plants might need a more sustained period of protection, but once they grow up they are a pretty safe bet. Now… take time to smell them. Blessings. 0038

POINT OF VIEW SUMMER SWEET TREATS In honour of my first anniversary of writing a column for this magazine, and because my first subject was about strawberry season, I thought it fitting to share a few of my favourite easy summer recipes with strawberries as the main ingredient. I hope you enjoy these sweet treats as much as I do. STRAWBERRY SQUARES BASE: 2 cups graham crumbs mixed with 1/2 cup melted butter FILLING: 1 large pkg. strawberry Jello 1 tub strawberries, thawed 1/2 cup sugar Mix and let come to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Allow to cool. Mix 1 pkg. Dream Whip according to directions and fold into strawberry mixture. Pour into pan and refrigerate. Mix another package of Dream Whip for top, once firm.
STRAWBERRIES & CREAM PIE 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 3 tsp shortening 1 Oreo pie crust (or graham crust) 1-8 oz cream cheese 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup sour cream 1 tsp vanilla 1 tub Cool Whip 2 cups fresh strawberries, halved Combine chocolate chips and shortening and melt in microwave. Pour about 3/4 of mixture into bottom of crust and refrigerate until firm. Beat remaining 4 ingredients until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. Pour or scoop into crust and refrigerate overnight. Cut strawberries in half and top pie. Drizzle with chocolate. FRESH STRAWBERRY MUFFINS 1/2 cup butter, softened 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder

Zoo Summer hours: 10:00am to 8:00pm (last admission 7:00pm). Lots going on at your zoo. A baby zebra was born in May. Mother zebra rejected him, which often happens with first babies, and staff have been bottle feeding him every four hours. He is growing well and getting curious and strong. He is starting to eat grains, hay and water but still loves his bottles. On June 25 this baby zebra was sent to an Ontario zoo to herd with a female zebra his same age. We shall miss the little guy but it is time for him to start his zebra life. Arriving from the same Ontario zoo on June 25 were three Zebu. What is a Zebu you say? They are an African breed of cattle. The male is four months old and the two females are three years old and one year old. On June 25 the zoo’s annual AGM took place at Howard Johnson Hotel with 50 people in attendance. In the opening speech by Board Chairperson, Alice O’Neill, she said ”Everyone in this room believes in the future of the zoo and supports the zoo in your many ways. When I was preparing for this meeting I thought of the fact that for the past 41 years other zoo supports have been
present at their zoo AGM. Without these past zoo supporters who believed in the zoo’s future we would not be here tonight.

MUSINGS MOVE THOSE VEGGIES! I read recently about a Kanata couple who have been told by Ottawa bylaw enforcement that they are required to move their vegetable garden away from the sidewalk. To be accurate, it isn’t actually the vegetables and herbs that are being objected to but the planter boxes in which their little sidewalk garden grows. Apparently is is against the law to have any “structure” within 3 meters of the sidewalk. For those like me still on the English system of measurement, that would be about 10 feet. Looking at the accompanying photo, I’m not sure there would even be sufficient room for a garden if it were moved 10 feet closer to the house. It isn’t like there is a lot of front lawn space to work with in big city residential areas. Regardless . . . I would not normally think of a raised bed garden as a “structure” as intended under the bylaw. Building a gazebo or
a garden shed, sure thing. But a 2” x 8” board nailed to another 2” x 8” board, not so much. They have been ordered to remove it by July 30th. Really? It is that big of a deal that it cannot wait until harvest and the home owners agree to not plant there next year? Is the whole world totally lacking in common sense or does it only seem that way? These people are growing fresh vegetables; surely that is something to encourage. Perhaps it is “only in Kanata”, since they have a couple of other very odd bylaws. For instance you cannot paint your windows or doors purple. Why only purple, I have no idea. Some ancestral city father had a childhood trauma associated with the colour purple perhaps? And it is also illegal to have a clothesline in your backyard. Really? So much for energy conservation! So you cannot grow your vegetables in the front yard and you cannot hang out your laundry in the back yard. Wonder if there is anything on the books for
hanging your laundry in the front yard where the vegetable garden was? As long as the clothes pole wasn’t within 3 meters of the sidewalk of course, since that might be considered a “structure”. “Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.” ~ Robert Kennedy “There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.” ~ Frank Lloyd Wright. 0002

The Dr. David Stephen Foundation’s Award of Distinction The Dr. David Stephen Foundation’s Award of Distinction is established in memory of Dr. David Stephen who lost his life in an automobile accident February 14th, 1990, at the age of thirty-five, while travelling to St. Stephen to testify at a child abuse trial.

and was instrumental in developing an Interdisciplinary Committee on Child Abuse for the Greater Saint John area. He was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit by the Medical Society for his many contributions to the community, his patients and the medical profession. A Foundation was established in 1993 to recognize
these contributions and to promote educational opportunities in the field of child abuse prevention. The Award of Distinction recognizes the contribution of an individual or group to the prevention of child abuse. It shouldn’t hurt to be a child.
