Published Bi-Weekly Next Issue: September 22nd Deadline: September 15th

“Stumping” - one defintion from “thefreedictionary.com” “ - a place or an occasion used for political or campaign oratory: candidates out on the stump.” And yes indeed, we do have politicians out on the stump and Mikie is also taking this occasion to do some stumping of his own, but first let me set the scenario. Our main wood road that runs from our upgraded bridge out towards the back of the property has a fairly steep slope that delivers a steady stream of water downhill in all but the driest times of the year. In order to build a road that is durable, a ditch was dug on the “high” side of the road with the contents deposited on the “downhill” side of the road. Since the road had to be widened, trees were cut down and root balls yanked out and also placed on the downhill side of the road. As a result, the downhill side of the road is littered with stumps, excavated large rocks and other debris from the uphill side. Wood roads are intended to be useful, not pretty, just like a good man!! The missus, however, complains that she got neither!! Since I very much want to be able to easily walk from the road into the woods without risking a broken ankle from putting a foot in the wrong spot, I have

taken to “stumping”. The excavator that did the road work was able to rip out large stumps and easily toss them to the side of the road. Thanks to the missus, I am $60 to $100 thousand away from doing the same thing. With the 5 ton logging winch on my 2.5 ton tractor, a really large stump will cause the cable to be pulled so tight that I can do a chinup without even sagging the cable, but the blinkity-blank stump just sits laughing at my puny efforts. So now Mikie is taking his tractor mounted backhoe (poor man’s excavator) and rooting around the big stumps, knocking off dirt, breaking up some of the root ball and otherwise getting them down to a weight that I can manage to work with. Unlike, our political stumpers, if you attended a Mike stumping session, you would likely hear some fine and even unusual oratory. “Why you no good, low down …#*@!!.” Sounds just like one politician talking about an opponent!! 0001

New Curves Owner Shares Passion for Helping Others Lisa Cooper’s passion for helping others achieve health and happiness through exercise has found an outlet in Curves. The Sussex mother and grandmother recently purchased the local women’s fitness franchise, and she’s enjoying every moment. “I find personal satisfaction in helping others and believe everyone should move and exercise every day to be healthy and happy,” she explains. “I was very excited to purchase Curves Sussex and have it continue to be a successful and evolving business in the Sussex

The Sussex Herald

and surrounding area.” Since taking over the franchise about a month ago, Cooper has gotten to know the “awesome” women who are current members and is looking forward to welcoming new members in the weeks, months and years to come. She said Curves is for women of all ages, which is evident when she looks around the circuit each day. “We have 20 plus year old’s and 80 plus. No matter what your age, Curves can make you toned and lean while helping to keep you pain free so you can live your life to the fullest.”

Cooper adds. “Curves is a fun, fast and safe 30 minute workout with women helping women. You can combine it with classes, where we offer monitored workouts with Curves Smart. We also offer diet programs, and there is always staff present to help you on the circuit.” Cooper and her staff are hosting a grand re-opening celebration and open house next Tuesday, Sept. 15 at their Maple Avenue location. It will take place from 12 noon until 7 p.m. and they hope to see you there!

FAMILY MATTERS THE SOCIALLY INTROVERTED CHILD They are not shy or awkward. They are introverted and they may have different social needs than their extroverted friends. Since most parents want their introverted children to succeed socially, there are steps they can take to lay the foundation for social success. Lead by example through your interactions with others and through play with your child. If you model the social behaviors you want to see, your child will imitate you but try not to push it. Set up organized play time as it is important for introverts to experience following a set of rules or expectations, taking turns, winning and losing. Help introverted children learn the vocabulary they need to express what they want and need. Introverts can get nervous or behave inappropriately in social situations because they are

lacking the communication skills. Offer opportunities to participate in social activities consistently throughout the year that require them to work with other kids. If your child is worried about a situation (first day of preschool, a dance recital, etc.), remind him or her of a previous similar situation where they were successful. Play dates are generally preferred over playgroups. One-on-one encounters can allow your introvert to get to know others more deeply and will be less overwhelming. Limit screen time and find sensory rich activities for your introverted child as this will give the child plenty of topics to talk about. The more the child knows, the easier it will be to converse with others. Many introverts find small talk difficult so it is easier when they can talk about something they found fun. Confidence and independence will develop from these interactions. Provide breaks from being social because being social can be very

exhausting. Allow the introverted child the opportunity to recharge and reflect on their interactions by allowing for the right amount of down time. Chances are your child will give you cues they need it. Cues could include changes in mood, isolation or silence. Focus on just one social skill at a time and chart each learned with stickers to allow the child to see their progress. Support self-esteem by complimenting your child on his or her behavior. Positive self-esteem is critical to healthy social development and being an introvert is ok. This week, take time to honor your introverted child and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

IN THE GARDEN SLUGS AND SNAILS AND PUPPY DOGS’ TAILS... That line of the rather derogatory poem would imply that all snails were to be rejected or at the very least avoided; however some are indeed very useful additions to the garden, at least to the small ponds that many of us are privileged to have. In order to maintain an attractive water feature some tasks need to be completed, during the rather hot spell the water level has evaporated to the point where a top-up is needed and before that is done it’s wise to remove the build up of fallen leaves and the ever present duck weed that seems to appear from nowhere and to increase on an hourly basis! Removal can be done easily with a small plastic garden rake and if you are fortunate enough to have introduced a small quantity of water snails into the pond they will need to be offered the opportunity to continue their

good work of cleaning the water of algae, So!, by placing all the gungy muck and rubbish on the side of the pond you will give these chaps a chance to slither back into the pond and continue their feasting and carousing. Ideally ponds should have plant material on only one third of the surface of the water in order to provide adequate space for frogs to strut their stuff, for birds to access a drink and for the plant life to flourish. Most water plants produce enormously tough roots which can only be divided by the use of a tough saw and like most divisions from the garden there are usually people who will be glad to take any excesses. Once the water level has been restored it’s wise to ensure that a good quantity of low growing plants will surround the pond, giving shade and protective covering to the frogs that are indispensable. They not only look after dispatching the mosquitoes but will look after the slugs and some of the soft shelled land snails. Bullfrogs have been known to eat small birds and snakes! When all

this work has been accomplished you will have provided ideal conditions for the survival of the frog family and a nonchemical means of pest removal, Bravo!! We have slipped past the full moon in September and may have a few more weeks for the tomatoes to ripen, however, if there is a hint of frost in the forecast, action must be taken! By digging up the whole tomato plant, knocking off excess soil and hanging the plant by its tail in a frost free environment one can almost guarantee fresh, off the vine tomatoes for Christmas dinner. If such a place is not available they can be picked and kept between layers of newspaper on racks, in a well ventilated spot, where they will ripen fairly quickly, checking every few days against possible mildew.

hen you see hot air ballooning and Sussex mentioned in the same sentence, Doug Shippee’s name is most likely in there too. Shippee is, after all, the man credited with introducing Sussex to the sport of hot air ballooning and helping to organize the first of what has become the largest hot air balloon festival in Atlantic Canada. Now, as Sussex prepares to celebrate its 30th Annual International Balloon Fiesta on September 11, 12 and 13, Shippee and a host of other pilots from around the world are looking forward to flying the skies over Sussex.

“The biggest thing about ballooning is that every balloon flight is an adventure,”

Shippee explains. “You don’t know where you’re going to land exactly and so what you see on every flight is a new picture.” As Canada’s oldest licensed hot air balloon pilot, the 86 year old Saint John resident has no plans to retire any time soon. In fact, he can’t imagine not piloting a balloon. His love of the sport spans several decades and as many countries. He’s flown in most of our Canadian provinces, many big festivals in the United States and also has flights to his credit in foreign countries like England, Switzerland, France and Denmark. To Shippee’s knowledge, he flew the first hot air balloon over Sussex and, despite all of his globe trotting to participate in various festivals and competitions, he’s adopted the dairy town as his home

port ever since. After convincing the local Chamber of Commerce that the valleys in and around Sussex would be a perfect place to hold a balloon festival, the Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta was born. That first year, nine balloons flew over the dairy town. Now, 30 years later, visitors can look up and see 40 hot air balloons sail over Sussex. “We can see fog in the valley, but around us we have the pristine, beautiful area of New Brunswick all around us.” With 2015 marking a special milestone, it was fitting time to honour Shippee for his contributions to further sports in the area. He was inducted into the Greater Sussex Sports Wall of Fame during a May 20 ceremony. “The Balloon Fiesta is one of Sussex’s biggest events,” said Committee Chair, Richard Sullivan. “Shippee’s contributions have really done

Throughout the weekend, visitors can take in a giant Craft Fair with over 70 crafters and artisans from across Atlantic Canada. Another popular draw is the Antique & Classic Car Show, which was added to the festival lineup in 1990. The show will feature over 500 antiques, bikes, street rods and trucks. On Saturday at 1 p.m., there will be a Sparade through downtown.

Some participants of the festival get the chance to walk thru a partially inflated balloon! Discovering them in a whole new way from the inside. There are also many activities planned to keep people entertained, even when the hot air balloons aren’t flying. Along with a wide variety of children’s activities and games, there will also be helicopter rides, sky diving demonstrations, amusement rides and three days of free and continuous live entertainment at the town’s new bandstand.

Many vendors and concessions will be set up on the festival grounds. And, on Friday and Saturday evening at dusk, the balloons will inflate for the spectacular “Moon Glow”. As well, a walk through balloon will be set up for people to experience what the inside of a hot air balloon real looks and feels like.

Since the Balloon Fiesta began, it has received many accolades including Atlantic Canada’s Community Choice, Tourism New Brunswick’s top festival and the American Bus Association’s Top 100 North American events. If it wasn’t for the support, hard work and dedication of approximately 250 volunteers, vendors, sponsors, local businesses and land owners, the festival wouldn’t enjoy the success it does today. “Without committed volunteers and all around great people like these, Sussex would not be home to Atlantic Canada’s

LOCAL SIGHTS AND SOUNDS In addition to boasting the fact that it’s home to Atlantic Canada’s largest hot air balloon festival, people also flock to our area to see the impressive collection of wood-constructed covered bridges – 16 of them in King’s County alone – earning it the distinction of being the Covered Bridge Capital of Atlantic Canada. Eight of these historic wooden structures are located within a 10 minute drive of the town’s downtown core.

from the valley each September. In addition, Sussex proudly hosts an annual agricultural fair and is home of Canada’s largest outdoor flea market.

With its sprawling dairy farms and rich agricultural history, it’s long been known as the Dairy Capital of New Brunswick. In fact, many locals and visitors affectionately refer to Sussex as cow town. More recently, Sussex established its reputation as the Mural Capital of Atlantic Canada. More than two dozen colourful murals can now be found on buildings throughout Sussex and Sussex Corner.

Speaking of markets, the Sussex Farmers’ Market will likely attract some Balloon Fiesta goers this year. It’s located in the heart of the downtown core and features a large selection of locally grown produce, plants, seafood, meats, fresh breads, clothes, crafts, jewelry and so much more. It’s open from early May until the end of October and operates every Friday between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Coaches at the camp were Maitre Xavier Boulet from France and 6 coaches from NB: Elena Redkina, Ryan Downey, Cedric Richard, Jean-Pierre Frenette, Serge Beaubrun and Diane Raiche-Phillips. Fencers from ages 9â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16 attended from four New Brunswick fencing clubs. Fencers from the Renforth Club included: Matthew Cole, Magnus LaBillois, Jackson Dennis, Dino Tremblay, Gregor Harrison,Connor Campbell, Zoe Richard, Caden Robertson, Rowan McInnis, Bentley Sheils, Oliver Hanrahan, Chloey Hodgin, and Christian McLean.

Fencers from the Chaleur Club included Patrick Comeau, Melissa Frenette, Jerome Boudreau, Danik Doucet, Cody Doran and from the Alberta Fencing Club, Will Dobson. The Sport of Fencing improves overall

Attending Fencers at Renforth Fencing Camp fitness while developing coordination of mind and body. It is a sport which relies on the use of tactics and strategy as well as speed and skill while facing your opponent. The need to think quickly and adapt to constantly changing situations is key. In fact, the modern sport of fencing has been described as trying to play chess while running the 100 metre dash!

Since the beginning of the first Summer Olympic Games in 1896, fencing is still one of the original sports of the Summer Olympic Games. The Renforth Fencing Club will resumed classes on September 8 at the Ecole des Pionniers School in Quispamsis. For more information, please contact Diane Raiche-Phillips atdiraiche@rogers.com. 3685

SJ JEWISH HISTORICAL FILM FESTIVAL The Saint John Jewish Historical Museum is pleased to announce that it will be holding the 2nd Annual Saint John Jewish Film Festival from October 18 - October 22. The proceeds from the film festival will support the work of the Jewish Historical Museum to preserve the Jewish history of Saint John. These films will include every genre including comedy, tragedy, documentary, biographical and historical. They will have a broad appeal and be entertaining while drawing on the Jewish experience and will be screened at the Saint John Jewish Historical Museum, 91 Leinster Street. Tickets can be purchased for $10/film at the SJ Jewish Historical Museum and the Imperial Theatre box office. The lineup for the Saint John Jewish Film Festival is as follows: Sunday October 18: 2:00pm, Mr. Kaplan - at 76 Mr. Kaplan has a severe existential crisis. As he begins to question his worth, he comes across a strange case when his granddaughter mentions a German man who runs a café near the beach. Convinced that he has found an escaped “Nazi”, Mr. Kaplan teams up with a slacker to kidnap the German. English sub-titles. Sunday October 18: 7:00pm, 24 Days - when Ilan Halimi is kidnapped for ransom because he is Jewish and supposedly rich, his family and the police start a race against time to save him from the tortures of the “gang of barbarians”. English subtitles. Monday October 19: 7:00pm, Above and Beyond - in 1948, a group of World War II pilots volunteered to fight for Israel in the War of Independence. This ragtag band of brothers not only turned the tide of the war, they also laid the groundwork for the Israeli Air Force. Tuesday October 20: 7:00pm, Run Boy Run - Srulik, an eight-year old boy, flees from the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942. He attempts to survive, at first alone in the forest, and then as a Christian orphan named Jurek on a Polish farm. Throughout his ordeal, his Jewish identity is in danger of being lost. English sub-titles. Wednesday October 21: 7:00pm, The Art Dealer - a stylish Parisian thriller set in the murky world on Nazi-looted art. A young journalist finds herself caught up in a web of betrayal as she uncovers a story that has been carefully buried for decades. English subtitles.

Thursday October 22: - 7:00pm, Quality Balls: The David Steinberg Story/Hannah Cohen’s Holy Communion – an overview of the long and varied career of comic David Steinberg features interviews with Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld and others.

HAMPTON 5-MILER This is the 15th running of the 5-Miler, which is organized by the Hampton River Runners and taking place on Sunday, September 13 with three events: Kids’ Kilometre (12 years of age and under) at 9:00am; Three-for-Me 3Km Run (16 and under) at 9:55; and the 5-Miler at 10:00am. Register online before September 11 at: atlanticchip.ca or runningroom.com. Race day registration from 8:00-9:30am at Hampton High School. Some features of interest this year: Shelley Doucet, a top level runner from Quispamsis, will attempt to break the 29:18 minute course record for women. A Canadian age group record for five miles will very likely be broken at this year’s 5-Miler. In 2011, Fredericton’s Rob Jackson ran the Hampton 5-Miler in 28:42 minutes, a Canadian record for the 55-59 age group. He has reached the age of 60, and will be attempting to break the age class record for 60-64 year olds. He may, in fact, have some competition to spur him on… a head-to-head race with Jerry Kooyman’s of Markham, Ontario, who is presently the Canadian 55-59 age group record holder. Kooyman, who has also just turned 60, broke Rob’s record at the 5-Miler in 2012 and is likely to run this year’s 5-Miler to chase the same record that Jackson is pursuing. The Hampton River Runners group has decided to present a new award - the Sheila Burns Award. Sheila, who passed away this year, was a long-time member of the running group. She was a wonderful group member and tremendous worker in support of the 5-Miler and many community projects. The award will be presented in her memory to “an individual who, through his/her hard work, leadership and personal example, has made a significant contribution to the running community in southern New Brunswick”. On the Sunday after Labour Day weekend, come run, jog, or walk and enjoy the friendship and excitement of the Hampton 5-Miler! 3626

ATTENDANCE MATTERS The Anglophone South School District is pleased to introduce a new initiative called “Attendance Matters”. The Superintendent called for a working group to study student attendance in response to a heightened awareness/

concern expressed by administrators, teachers, District Office personnel and by members of the District Education Council. With the startup of the 2015-16 school year the District will be launching an awareness campaign, “Attendance Matters”. Being present and on time impacts positively on learning from K-12. Good attendance helps to build habits that will last a lifetime and transfer to life beyond public education. “Attendance Matters” will be part of the School Improvement Plan for every school and is supported by the District Education Council. Families and Community members can find Information on the Anglophone South Website (asd-s.nbed.nb.ca). As well there is a link to a brochure and a short video featuring students from the District. Students will take an active role in promoting the awareness campaign. PSSCs will be involved and students will go home the first week of school with further information. ASD-S recognizes that parents and guardians hold the greatest influence with their children and we are seeking their support for the “Attendance Matters” initiative. For more information please contact

POINT OF VIEW OPERATION SKINNY JEANS It's no secret that I'm not a fan of jeggings or skinny jeans. Unless you've been living under a rock these past three years, you know of what I speak. For the lucky few that don't, jeggings are essentially leggings made of super stretch denim. Like the socalled skinny jeans, they mold to every bulging curve from the top of your waist to the tiny tops of your ankles. Apparently, they're the fashion trend that keeps on trending.....year after year after glorious year. With a teen daughter in the house, I try really hard to be open minded when it comes to the latest trends. In fact, I've become quite good at biting my tongue and nodding my head up and down when she asks me how her beloved jeggings look. For her sake, and for the sake of millions of others who think they actually look great on anyone – no matter what their body type – I salute you. Having said that,

I actually do own one pair of skinny jeans. It happened in Vegas! No, it actually did. Call it a weak moment, call it what you will, but I stumbled upon a Levi's outlet store and tried on a pair of skinny jeans. I vividly remember stumbling around the changing room, trying to pull these teensy tiny little jeans up over my not-soteensy tiny butt. It was not an easy feat – more like a workout, actually - but I finally got them on and they fit. They looked hideous to me, but they actually fit. Oh, and they were on sale. So, unlike the Las Vegas slogan that says what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, the skinny jeans happened and they did not stay in Vegas. During the colder months, which in New Brunswick is about eight months of the year, I wear my trendy jeans with knee high boots, a long shirt and jacket (preferably long enough to cover the jeans). The rest of the time, I roll them up a bit and wear them to my back deck, where nobody but me has to see them. Liv thinks they're great, and compliments me every time. But, who is she kidding?

Not me! It's safe to say I'll never really love my skinny jeans, or anyone else's. But, I'm now hip enough to say I own a pair. What I also own, still wear and hope they come back in style soon, are my beloved bootcut and flare leg jeans. They are the bomb, as far as I'm concerned. They provide a more flattering fit for all body types. But, what do I know? If you join the jegging and skinny jeans movement, practice safe stretch. Remember, getting those things on is tough, but taking them back off is even tougher. 0032

LISTEN IN HARVEST HOEDOWN IN THE VALLEY This annual Indian Summer event has been a big valley hit since its inception two years ago! It’s a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Quispamsis with good friends and family. A community event that is wholesome, fun and above all free! Enjoy this weather while it last folks. You know why! Program Director for the town of Quispamsis, Megan Lucas, tells me there will be loads of great games for all ages to do and be entertained with including; Washer toss, horseshoes, colouring table for the kids, a photo opportunity with cowboy silhouette (huh), chess/checkers etc. “So lots of activities for young and older”(folks) Megan tells me. More things are being added as we speak so to get the whole

schedule go to: quispamsis.ca. Another big part of the event is the live music. Past years have had the best in country and Roots music that the province has to offer. This year is no exception and will feature the freshest faces and brightest rising NB stars. Webe3 is a trio from St. George who have been giving some of the most fun and spirited concerts I have had a chance to witness all year long! They have a wonderful holiday album out and when I asked them about a proper new album being released, Claudette Norman from the band said; “Working on one. Probably in the spring!” I can’t wait! As their bio says, they perform a varied mix of “New Country, Classic Country, Bluegrass, 70's-80's Acoustic Pop, Easy Rock and Gospel. The other musical artist will be Kenny James from Sackville NB who just released a sun-drenched California country album entitled “Tougher Than

Nails”. It has that classic Bakerfield sound reminiscent of all those classic country music heroes along with a contemporary soulful feel of new artists, most notably Ryan Adams. I can also hear an early Eagles era Glenn Frey with a Canadian injection of Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor in James’ croon. Not bad eh? Make sure you mark this on your calendar. Harvest Hoedown happens Sunday, September 13. I hope to see as many of you out at this community event as possible! I’ll be the MC so come say hello! Oh yes its back to school as well. Where does the time go! Make good grades! Happy Fall! 0041 Jeff Liberty Columnist, @Jlibertyartists

What an overwhelming and fantastic Birthday celebration! Starting August 8, with a dinner party at Adair’s Wilderness Lodge, 64 guests sat down to a delicious meal hosted by my wonderful sister, Mary Kirkpatrick, as her birthday gift to me. The reason for holding the party on August 8, is because the banquet hall had been previously booked for August 15. It’s a wonderful place to hold a party. Ida and her staff made sure everything was as it should be to make the party a success. Gary & Tammy Morris entertained as only they can do, with their singing & music, which added to the pleasure of making it a happy & enjoyable party atmosphere. During the course of the evening, the MC and director of the party’s proceedings, Richard Campbell, read a biography of my life. I thank you all for coming and for your kind words of friendship and good wishes and to all who sent cards, (87) phone calls, various gifts, including 6 beautiful floral arrangements. Since August the 8, I have been taken to lunch several times and I have one more dinner engagement. I received greetings from the Prime Minister, Lieutenant Governor for the Province of New Brunswick, Premier of NB, Leader of the Official Opposition, the MP for Fundy Royal and the MP for Fundy, Sussex & St. Martins. Thank you for making this 95th birthday celebration one of the most memorable occasions of my life. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and relatives. God Bless you all.

Most sincerely, Jessie Jonah

GET FISHING IT’S STURGEON TIME As the warmer months of summer pass us by, we start to get into one of my favorite times of year - sturgeon season! The Kennebacasis River is a wintering ground for one of over 20 species of sturgeon, the shortnose. There are shortnose sturgeon populations all along the East coast of North America, however our population is the only one for which you are allowed to fish for recreationally. Sturgeon have been around since the age of the dinosaurs. They have five rows of bony plates called 'scutes' along their bodies which have protrusions sticking out, If you catch a sturgeon less than 30 inches, they can often be quite sharp. I've ruined more than one pair of rain pants and nicked up my hands many times, thanks to those scutes! I love knowing that I will very likely land at least one fish over three feet,

sometimes over four feet long, every time I go sturgeon fishing in the Fall. As the water continues to get cooler, the sturgeon fishing just gets better and better. Being in tidal waters we are permitted to fish them right until the river freezes over, and being kayak anglers, that is exactly what my friends and I do! To fish for sturgeon there are a variety of approaches but they all revolve around getting your bait (most use nightcrawlers) to the river floor and keeping it stationary. Sturgeon will hover over the bait and suck it off the hook. The average size of our shortnose sturgeon is around 32”. To retain a sturgeon it would have to be 120 cm (just over 47”) long, which would make them over 50 years old! Shortnose sturgeon are hard to find that long however. Since the start of 2014, I’ve caught over 175 sturgeon, only seven of which would have been this long, with my longest at 54”.

My favorite part of sturgeon fishing is guiding others who’ve never caught one before. I offer a guided kayak fishing service and have helped both kids and adults catch their first sturgeon on the Kennebacasis. Nothing is more rewarding then seeing the joy on the face of a 10 year old young man as he lifts his first sturgeon (1st of 3 on the day) out of the water! If you like to know more about sturgeon fishing on the Kennebecasis contact me at joetilley76@hotmail. com, 847-4809, or through my blog (http://nbkayakfishing.ca). 0044

STROLL THROUGH TIME IN KARS Residents of Kars and the surrounding communities enjoyed stories and pictures of the past at the Kars Community Hall on August 13. Many of the attendees were descendants of early area settlers. Family names including VanWart, Cookson, Merritt, Reicker, Urquhart, Jones, Palmer and Toole were featured in the presentations. The costumed narrators, Lynn and Kelly Reicker, and Emilie Matheson transported the audience to the past with vivid descriptions of the schools, churches and businesses from Loyalist times through the early 1900’s. Among the attendees was NB Southwest MP John Williamson, who is a history enthusiast while engaging the present. The afternoon driving tour and tea was followed by an evening of talks and displays. The Hall itself returned to its origins as the Princess Alexandria Lodge #36, Temperance Hall of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and Sons of Temperance for the day with tea, lemonade and old fashioned

Tour participants in the Kars Community Hall desserts. Efforts are underway to restore the Hall, currently almost 150 years old (built 1866) and which remains in use by the community for social gatherings and as a polling station. The Tour, Talks and Tea were organized by the Belleisle Watershed Coalition and the Kars Recreational Society

which jointly sponsored the summer’s research by Lynn Reicker. Lynn, a third year student at St. Thomas University, was doing the research under a grant from Canada Summer Jobs. They are organizing the summer’s research into a book for publication later this fall. 3663

MUSINGS TOO CONNECTED? Several very different media stories and events have been painful to experience these past few days. Locally, fourteen cats were found abandoned in a dog crate. At this point it appears one of the poor little kitties will survive. To be honest, I have not been able to read much of the news coverage as it makes me physically ill to even consider what they must have gone through. As an acknowledged cat lover I may find this more difficult to comprehend than others might, but I cannot imagine anyone could be unaffected by this upsetting event. From the other side of the world, social media has been circulating a photo of a Syrian child’s body washed up on the shore in Turkey. In Virginia, a reporter and cameraman were shot and killed during a live broadcast. The killer then posted his own video of the shootings

to Facebook. Getting to the connectedness . . . if I read about such events in mainstream media there is normally warning of graphic and upsetting content and I can make the choice to proceed or stop. Do I necessarily need all of the details? If I wish I can choose to read only the general overview, stopping when I reach the point of overload. Social media, however, often does not give us that option, at least not by default. I am not a heavy user of social media of any kind, largely utilizing it to share photos and information with a few friends and family and following the newsfeeds of a few organizations. I do resent when videos automatically play without my choosing to watch them. While I do not want these stories to not be reported, I also do not wish my personal space to be bombarded with negative stories that I cannot avoid. The world is NOT all populated with monsters, but this constant barrage can

lead one to think it is. Yes we need to be aware of such events, but we should not be forcing people to experience more detail than they are prepared to handle. Let me make my own choices on how much I wish to see and hear. (Note: According to my IT guru (aka Mikie) you can set Facebook to NOT autoplay videos, but most of us are not aware of this.) “When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways - either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. ” ~ Dalai Lama. 0002
