In a world where the nine-to-five business day is often extended by emails and children’s activities, people and families are busier than ever. With all the hustle and bustle of everyday living, it seems that our society has become one of constant pressure. Even our leisure activities are policed by time: cottages and trailers come with a laundry list of chores each spring, vacations are fraught with the need to fill each day with sight seeing and sporting activities are dependent on weather and the maintenance of equipment. It begs the question: Is there anything more rewarding that deciding to put your “to do” list aside for a day and simply enjoy your time? Whether taking a leisurely walk for the sake of walking rather than for your health, or sitting on the deck with a cold drink, basking in the sun, that down time is every bit as necessary as time spent working. Perhaps this is why I look forward to long weekends so much. That extra day provides ample time to feel I’ve accomplished something while still leaving the opportunity to spend time with friends and family “maxing and relaxing”. This past long weekend I was thrilled to be able to spend Saturday afternoon with my sister and her three boys. Aged nine (but already showing signs of the upcoming “tween” years), almost seven (and completely free spirited), and not quite three (and absolutely full of that late toddler personality) my nephews are a constant source of entertainment. Whether listening to the oldest explain just how the light in the refrigerator works or watching the middle child teach his younger brother the “proper” way to
colour, I love having the opportunity to watch them explore the world and learn new things. Sunday was spent with Kevin, working outside getting the lawn and garden ready for the season. We mulched and pulled weeds, raked and sorted out lawn furniture. A quick trip to the local garden centre and I was happy as could be planting flowers in pots and wandering about deciding on just the right location for my garden lights. On Monday, we sat back, admired our work from the day before, and simply enjoyed each other’s company. The feeling of satisfaction I get knowing a particularly dirty or difficult chore has been marked off my list is a reward in and of itself, but being able to ignore the six thousand other things I could or should be doing. Is as priceless as the memories made by taking that time off and spending it with loved ones. Kevin has a sign up in our kitchen that I look at every day as I do the dishes. It reads “Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”. I love having that constant reminder that no matter how busy you may be, there is always time to stop and make memories. 0001

CANADA DAY 150 A VERY BIG TIME ON THE BELLEISLE Few rural communities come together for Canada Day with such spirit as the Belleisle Bay. Residents and visitors throng the hamlet of Hatfield Point from 8:00am until the fireworks end with a bang. Be in place before the 10:00am parade gets underway along the flag lined route. Gather by the wharf for the Belleisle Middle School’s singing of “O Canada’ and the recognition of the Norton Legion’s oldest Veterans, Roy Pope and Ken Newell, as Parade Marshals, and a community cake cutting. Running concurrently is “The Schmozzle”, a 5km run through woods, streams from Springfield (Gillis of Belleisle Winery) to the Hatfield Point Wharf. Cheer on the runners as they climb out of the Bay onto the wharf shortly after noon. Throughout the day are games, bike rodeo, scavenger hunt for kids and silent auction, vendors, yard sale, Victorian tea for the adults. History buffs will love the Cemetery tours mid-afternoon, followed by the fiercely competitive Cake Auction. Settle in for a fish and chips dinner and square dance on the green. Music on the wharf is always a key feature of the day from 1:00pm on, with Jen and the Macs highlighting the evening from 7:00pm as people gather for the fireworks. For Canada’s 150th, count on something spectacular when the show begins at dark. 4569

INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE REPORT: WOMEN WORRIED ABOUT RETIREMENT According to an Investor’s Group study, recently retired women are more worried than their male counterparts about stretching funds over their remaining years. This heightened concern may be related to the well-known fact that, statistically speaking, women generally live longer than men. Another likely contributor is that, while working, women tend to earn less than men. In a nutshell, women have less money to spread over more years. Financial priorities are also different among retired women and men. The study found that it’s more important for women to leave behind money for family and charities, by a margin of 14%. When asked what they would do with an unexpected windfall, 67% of women said they were likely to give money to charity, while 47% of men said the same. Overspending vs. underliving - Of
course, overspending in retirement can present a problem - but what about underliving? If fear of running out of money makes you ultra-conservative, you may pass on activities that help you fully enjoy your golden years. For example, travel was high on the list of priorities for pre-retirees in the study. The vast majority of women (81%) and men (89%) intend to spend money during retirement on things they want, such as trips and hobbies. But nearly two-thirds of recent retirees find it hard to strike a balance between making their money last and enjoying retirement. Interestingly, this sentiment was expressed more often by survey respondents who don’t work with a financial advisor. The key, it seems, to fully enjoying retirement is preparation. A Statistics Canada study using data from the 2014 Canadian Financial Capability Survey concluded that respondents
who rely on advice from a financial advisor have increased levels of financial knowledge. So, whether you are a man or a woman worried about having enough money to fund a long and enjoyable retirement, the best step forward is discussing your priorities and concerns with your professional advisor who will help you build a plan - so you can retire with confidence. 0036

IN THE GARDEN BEETLES, BEETLES, BEETLES. Some Roses are red, some beetles as well, squirt them with soap and send them to H... We are well into the time when Lily Beetles do their dastardly work and though squishing is an option, both tedious and only marginally successful, there is an easy alternative, 1 or 2 tablespoons of dish soap in 1 litre of water is the easy way to deal with them; thoroughly drench both the beetles and the soil surrounding the plants and all will be well. By now the dwarf yellow and purple Iris will have finished their welcome blooming and, with the recent glorious rain the ground is in perfect condition for a bit of dividing and transplanting to take place; Iris are not heavy feeders but it’s good policy to sprinkle a little bone meal in with some good soil before planting into a well weeded, preferably new location. By switching location when transplanting, one can leave behind the dreaded Iris borers and by careful inspection avoid taking any along with the transplants. So much for pests and on to the beauty that awaits us in the Rose garden; by now all the stems are well leafed out so it is safe to carefully cut out any stems that look diseased. Often there appear some darker portions of stem that appear to be alive, however these odd looking patches usually harbour some weakness that might well infect the rest of the shrub; it is better to lose a few potential blooms than to risk major problems later, so, cut ‘em out. By the time I write my next column
the Tall German Iris will be blooming and it is vital to be on the mark with deadheading; these beauties will last twice along if they are attended to daily, they are easily damaged by a good rain since the spent blossoms soak up moisture and will quickly rot the emerging blooms. Pretty well every kind of vegetable should be in the ground by now. (I shall have sharp words for the weather chaps if they encourage any more of the cold nights), it is prudent though to have some covering cloths available to protect the less hardy types like tomatoes, peppers and Egg Plants if low temperatures appear. Cold nights can seriously retard growth and therefore delay harvest date. Just remember that all weeds and vegetation taken from the garden are capable of producing excellent compost for the future; a bin filled this year with this good stuff along with kitchen waste, will produce perfect potting soil if left for three years....make that two years if you can add a bit of manure, way to go! Blessings. 0039

STRAWBERRIES: A KINGS COUNTY TRADITION The first record of strawberry cultivation was made in 1386 when King Charles V of France had 12,000 plants of a native woodland variety planted in the Royal Gardens. According to The Weekly Record (later known as The Kings County Record) of July 20, 1894 we learn that on the Kingston Peninsula “The Clifton Berry Association shipped on Monday (Saturday’s picking) 4,900 quarts, being over 150 bushels. On Tuesday, 5,800 quarts or nearly 185 bushels were shipped. Very nearly the whole crop went to the Boston market. The crop is a large one.” One wonders if this may have been the first commercial shipment, even though Ernest Friars, notes given below, suggest otherwise. Mr. Friars’ materials at the Kings County Museum in Hampton suggest… The first commercial production in New Brunswick was reported at Sackville in 1918 when 130,000 quart boxes were sent as trial shipments for sale to Boston and Montreal. By 1932, 500,000 quarts were shipped in nine freight cars to Boston and Montreal, in addition to six carloads to Boston by boat. In a letter to the Telegraph-Journal editor published July 20, 1988 George Flewwelling of Woodstock quotes from Volume 7 of the Flewwelling Genealogy - “David Wetmore (1836 - 93) of Clifton [Kings County] was the first to introduce the cultivation of strawberries in the province as a business.” He also states that Mr. Wetmore invented the berry box used today. Two older types of berry boxes are in the collection of the Museum in Hampton. Both are octagonal (8-sided). A rectangular veneer is bent or folded to make nine equal surfaces or sections. The two end sections are placed together, thus forming the eight sides of the box. On one of the Museum boxes the sides are poplar and the base is spruce. The sides are joined to the bases by three small nails. One handmade box has a square bottom in which the four corners are fitted into slots cut in the sides, rather than being nailed. In the early 1900’s Charlie Perry had a berry box factory at Sagwa in Westfield Parish. He was a machinist and made a device to manufacture his berry boxes from poplar wood. His boxes
were hexagonal (6-sided) in shape and closed at the corners. The main use for these boxes may have been for blueberries. They sold for two cents each. Charlie died in 1935. Another manufacturer of berry boxes was Ed Brown of Browns Flat. He made them from wood cut on his own woodlot. His boxes were square with two bands around the top - one inside, one outside. His wife sewed these bands to the boxes with a special machine. In later years, staples were used to secure
the tops. Everett Boyd of Hatfield Point also made berry boxes. Popular in late June and early July, and perhaps even into August for later maturing varieties, the picking of strawberries and other fruit, is enjoyed by many. Several people doing the “strawberry festival circuit” relish the delicious sweet red berries served at the various community suppers in the area; their calendars have each festival carefully recorded.

UNFILTERED RIBS ON THE BBQ PAIRED WITH SYRAH Now that the BBQ season is in full swing, nothing beats juicy, fall-offthe-bone ribs paired with a good quality, peppery Syrah (also known as Shiraz). One of the classic black grape varieties of the world, Syrah is King in the Northern Rhone region of France where it is often blended with other
grape varieties. These Syrah wines are very tannic and high in acidity, and as you can imagine, quite pricey. Australia took the wine world by storm a few decades back when they started producing a hotter climate style of Syrah which they labelled as ‘Shiraz’. They are big and juicy with softer

tannins and a pronounced spiciness. They soon became very popular and really put Australia on the map in the wine world. Today Shiraz remains the most widely planted grape variety in Australia. Due to it’s popularity, Syrah/Shiraz is now grown all over the world. Chile, Argentina, and Washington state have been making some really incredible wines from Syrah. The terms ‘Syrah’ and ‘Shiraz’ have become more about style, a wine labelled ‘Syrah’ implying the old-world style, and wines labelled ‘Shiraz’ of new world style. No matter your preference, a good quality Syrah/Shiraz will have flavours of blackberry, plum, pepper, smoke, licorice. With age flavours of spicy meat and dark chocolate can develop. These flavours make Shiraz the perfect accompaniment to spicy and/or barbecued dishes. Ribs cooked slowly on a charcoal grill, basted in a spicy bbq sauce are a perfect match for Shiraz. The smoky, spicy flavours of ribs are a perfect match for the spicy, peppery notes in the wine. Here are a few tips for grilling the perfect ribs - buying fresh from a local butcher is always best. Be sure to remove all of the silvery skin and excess fat from both side of the ribs. Coat the ribs with a dry rub and refrigerate at least 24 hours before cooking to allow the flavours to penetrate. Most important of all; cook the ribs low and slow while continuously coating them with bbq sauce so they do not dry out. After a minimum of six hours of cooking your ribs will be fall-off-thebone delicious. 0042

the lyrics (often called the Richardson version) was created in 1906. Another version was written in 1908 to mark the 300th Anniversary of the founding of Quebec City which; the city was founded July 3, 1608. The 1908 words were the efforts of a lawyer (later judge) Robert Stanley Weir; his words are the official and most popular of the many English lyrics written over the years. His work has been “revised” occasionally. The song had been used as a “de facto” national anthem since 1930.
Happy Canada Day!

BLOOMIN’ ARTISTS The blossoms are busting out, the trees are in full leaf, and summer is a comin’. And with summer comes the muchenjoyed Hampton John Peters Humphrey Foundation’s Bloomin’ Artists event. On July 15th and 16th more than thirty 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 works of art that are then sold by silent auction at the Lighthouse River Centre. It is a fun event over two days and is eagerly looked forward to by both artists and patrons. It is a wonderful opportunity to purchase affordable paintings and works of art by some of New Brunswick’s most celebrated artists. There will be an art project going on Saturday, the 15th, that will engage youngsters in the creation of their own work of art. 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. Money raised in the past has allowed the foundation to do such things as host an annual Human Rights Forum and Award; to assist with the funding the Human Rights Mural at Hampton Elementary School entitled “John’s Dream”; to create and restore the Credo sculpture on the courthouse lawn; to sponsor the mural on Hampton High School’s exterior; to assist Anne Scott in producing her highly successful book The Boy Who Was Bullied; and to support the creation of a series of human rights murals at the Elementary School – to name only a few.

Mark your calendar for July 15th and 16th. More information can be found on the foundation website; humphreyhampton. org, on facebook “Bloomin’ Artists 2017” and watch the Herald for more about this great community event. 4587
