It seems like a long time since I have written anything about “The Family”.

Why, not even a wisecrack about the missus, in what seems like ages. I suspect that some of you are even wondering if I’m getting old and senile, and even chicken to say true things about my dear family. So here goes!!

Starting by age, out of respect for my elders, there is the missus. I could select from a broad range of annoying issues, but I think I will just pick one for now. We are a two car family (plus my old truck), and while we will interchange vehicles, I for the most part drive the Subaru (2000) and the missus drives the Fusion (2008). While I could discuss her driving, it is her parking that is most annoying, especially if she has last driven MY car. For some strange and unknown reason, she cannot just park and turn off the ignition. Her parking procedure goes something like this... put vehicle in park, turn off radio, turn off blower fan, move seat back, and so on for about another 20 minutes. Jet pilots can shut down faster. So sometime later the process is then reversed... start engine, turn on radio, turn on blower fan, move seat forward... 20 minutes and 2 liters of gas later she is actually moving. I just don’t understand!! Fortunately, she doesn’t have to make a living doing valet parking, because moving 1.5 cars per hour just won’t cut it!!

I think she explained it once by saying she “didn’t like noise”. You know, start the car and the radio starts playing!!

How this is different from “start the car” and then “turn on radio” is hard for me to distinguish.

Now it pains me deeply to suggest that “The Jet” could also be annoying, but indeed he can. He has a serious tendency to want to what I call “follow from the front”. I start to go somewhere. I know where I am going but he doesn’t. But, he still wants to be out front. So say I want to walk over to the garage, “The Jet” quickly hops out ahead, but instead of staying off to one side and watching, he kind of meanders right across my path. If I veer off and try another route, he quickly corrects to once again steer across my bows, nautically speaking. If I ever let him get to a third attempt at blocking my path, he suddenly hears a voice foretelling his immediate and painful demise, at which point he rapidly considers that Mikie is Grumpy and should be left alone for a few minutes.

So there!! I did it. 0001

AWARD WINNING PUMPKIN Dawn and Bill Northrup spied a one hundred pound pumpkin on a neighbour’s doorstep one Halloween night and decided to try their own hand at growing jumbo pumpkins.

They began in 1998 after getting seeds from a man in Nova Scotia and this year their pumpkin was the largest grown in

Atlantic Canada at 1,389lbs. A whopper for sure.

Dawn and Bill take their pumpkins to festivals across New Brunswick and down into Nova Scotia. You can see their humongous pumpkins on Route 121 between Apohaqui and Sussex at Fox Hill. 3171

Pumpkin growing has increased in size in N.B since 1998, when Dawn and Bill Northrup first tried their hand at it.

GET YOUR FLU SHOT The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends influenza immunization especially for: • Adults and children with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders(including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cystic fibrosis, and asthma) that are severe enough to require regular medical follow-up or hospital care.

• People of any age who are residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities.

• Adults and children with chronic conditions, such as diabetes mellitus and other metabolic diseases, cancer, immunodeficiency, immunosuppression (due to underlying disease and/or therapy), renaldisease, anemia, and hemoglobinopathy.

• People aged 65 and older.

• Healthy children aged 6 months to 23 months.

• Children and adolescents (aged 6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).

• People at high risk of influenza complications who embark on travel to destinations where influenza is likely to be circulating.

FAMILY MATTERS by anita hofmann 7 STEPS TO HOMEWORK SUCCESS Homework like taxes is an inevitable part of being a parent of a school aged child. The question in most homes is how to make homework a more enjoyable experience for parent and child. Going through the ‘7 Steps to Homework Success’ can make homework less of an ordeal.

Step 1. Accept that most kids don't like doing homework. When there are many other things children could be doing it's hard to get them excited about homework, especially after a long day at school. Accepting this fact makes it easier to work with your child to develop a plan on how things can get done.

Step 2. Know the benefits of doing homework. If parents are not convinced that homework matters, it will be hard to convince their children. Discuss with children the benefits of moderate amounts of homework.

Step 3. Be a facilitator. Bribery and pleading may result in immediate completion of homework but will not help in developing an intrinsic desire to do it long term. Try to facilitate the process by involving the kids.

Empower children by getting input into the homework environment, routine, breaks and ground rules to make them feel more in charge of their work.

Step 4. Shift from you to them. A child’s unwillingness to do homework doesn’t have to rest entirely on the parent. Children need to know there are consequences for not completing homework, at home and school. Parents should not be standing over children.

Rather parents should consider each child’s interests and personality and work with who that child is.

Step 5. Be engaged but know when to step away. It is easier for parent and child when the parent knows when to guide and when the child can be left alone to do his/her work. This develops important skills like independence and

responsibility.

Step 6. Share homework time. Parents have homework too such as paying bills.

When children see parents doing their homework kids realize that homework relates to adulthood tasks, making it more relatable.

Step 7. Change the name. With child input, consider changing the name homework. ‘Study time’ and ‘a day in review’ suggest the tasks are more about learning and growing and less about work.

It is possible to minimize the nightly homework struggles.

Motivating children to take the initiative to start it on their own makes life easier at home and school. 0006

LISTEN IN by Jeff liberty SOMETIMES YOU SHOULDN’T GO HOME New Brunswick native Jason Bourque is a writer/filmmaker who now makes his home out west. It’s an interesting e-conversation and includes the talk around his recent film “Black Fly” that was “Inspired by true events”.

JL - When did you first realize you wanted to be a filmmaker?

JB - I grew up on “Fangoria” magazines and the VHS era of schlocky horror movies.

I always had a keen sense of cinematic storytelling, mostly through my artwork and my own comics. Once the portable VHS camcorder came out, I started experimenting with this new medium.

Early short films usually involved Sam Raimi’s recipe for fake blood used in Evil Dead and had titles like "Brains". When I was fifteen I made a zombie flick with the neighbourhood kids in Renforth, New Brunswick called "Dead Skin".

JL - Who are some of filmmakers that have

• 2 lb Spray Foam • Fiberglass & Cellulose • Old & New Homes

inspired you over the years?

JB - I remember a rainy Saturday on the Kingston Peninsula when my brother and I binge watched several horror movies. I ended up seeing John Carpenter's "The Thing" and Ridley Scott's “Alien" back-toback. Both those filmmakers left an indelible mark on me.

JL - What are you currently working on?

JB - As a working director and writer, I pay the bills mostly with made for television movies while developing my passion projects. I have a thriller "Stolen Dreams", my 3rd movie of the week this year, going to camera beginning of December. As a follow-up to "Black Fly", I have a possession horror called "Jawbone" in development as well as "Prairie Fever", a Canadian coming of age story based in the 1950s during the polio epidemic.

JL - How are folks reacting to your newest film "Black Fly"?

JB - "Black Fly" response has been extremely positive. It's not as dark and disturbing as what some people think going into it, mostly because it focuses more on character and the

aftermath of violence. "Black Fly" is inspired by my experiences growing up on the Kingston Peninsula and having serial killer Noel Winters in the community; it's a true passion project. We sold out the first two screenings at the Vancouver Film Festival and were awarded a third screening due to audience demand. Unlike the television movies, I had complete creative freedom to make "Black Fly" due to Telefilm, Rogers Telefund and Super Channel. I would love to show it in New Brunswick. I have lots of friends and family back there and we're currently looking at ways to have a public screening.

JL - Does music play a big role in your films?

What are your top 5 favorite songs and/or artists?

JB - I love The Eagles, Bon Jovi, Trooper, Lover Boy, Rush.

POINT OF VIEW NEWSPRINT MEMORIES While packing away some summer clothes the other day, I stumbled upon a binder full of memories. It was piled high with newspaper clippings – copies of columns and feature stories I had written during my years working for a Nova Scotia weekly.

As I made my way through the pile,

reading the headlines and scanning the stories, it brought back a lot of memories.

I couldn't help but smile at some of the first­person features I'd written. These were my favourites to do, because it allowed me to experience something new and write about it from my own point of view.

Over the years, I donned hunting gear and went duck hunting and deer hunting.

I can remember, at the time, thinking that

I didn't like the early mornings and being quiet. With a medium security prison located in the town I lived in, it was a given that I would want to experience being an inmate for a day. That was an eye opening experience and made me appreciate life on the outside.

I tried my hand at parenting (before I became a parent) with the help of a Baby Think It Over infant simulator doll. It was one of two computerized dolls designed to help local high school students better understand what it's like to be the main caregiver of a baby. I named her Abby and she cried – a lot! It was a long 24 hours, but I lived to write about it. The little journalist with the big appetite (me) got to spend a few hours at the local Tim Hortons, where I baked (and ate) chocolate chip cookies for the annual Smile Cookie campaign. I spent a day as a pre­school student, had a psychic predict my future, and acted with a theatre company.

My weekly column, like this one, could be about anything from New Year's Resolutions and politics to my latest cooking fiasco. I remember making baked beans for the first time. I added all the ingredients the recipe called for, put them in the oven, baked them for hours and they never softened. What I didn't know, is that you have to boil the beans first.

Needless to say, it became a column topic that would make any good cook cringe.

Once my daughter was born, her experiences (and mine) often made for comical column topics. Potty training, temper tantrums in the mall, hitting little boys at the bank. You name it, she did it – and I wrote about it.

It's fun to be back writing columns, and I'm thankful for all the kind e­mails and comments I've received so far. My goal as a column writer has always been to evoke pleasant memories, provoke thought and, hopefully, entertain the reader.

If you have any questions/ comments, I'd love to hear from you.

My e­mail is diane@ ossekeag.ca.

IN THE GARDEN by Betty kennett THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER… REFLECTIONS FOR WINTER JOYS! As usual, I am still revelling in the sight of roses blooming abundantly in my small garden, they are enthusiastically sporting a great crop of buds that will probably be thwarted in their desire to bloom by the first really deadly frost; the vision of their beauty will stay in my mind through the blizzards and discomforts of winter, a reminder that spring really is just a season away and that gardening doesn’t need to stop for several weeks yet.

Because active gardening is drawing to a close it’s a wise practice to prioritise the jobs that can be done in the next few weeks. Cutting back the perennials and pulling away any dead leaves from them will certainly be a plus come spring at the same time as removing a good breeding ground for earwigs, slugs and the like.

Pulling the mulches away from the plants

and replacing them it with a good layer of a compost/manure will not only protect, but also be ready to feed them for the coming growing season. Any fallen fruit needs to be picked up and tossed into the compost, left on the ground they will become a nursery for all the ailments that the parent plant can succumb to as well as a breeding ground for wasps and hornets… this activity is best done with heavy gloves or long handled tongs, for obvious reasons!

Any weeding that can be done before the ground freezes is a plus and turning over the soil should disturb any freshly fallen weed seed which the frost should quickly do away with. Bulbs can still be planted but should not be covered with brush until the ground is completely frozen, though, in this area it isn’t entirely necessary, but it can be helpful if our winter produces a series of of freeze and thaw scenarios.

Roses, especially the hybrid type, should be banked up with a mixture of earth and compost and the tallest stems reduced in length to avoid damage from the wild

winter winds; hybrids need to be covered for at least a depth of six inches above the join of the root stock.

As the leaves fall, a last mowing will chop them up and they can be left on the lawn to act as fertilizer; in a densely treed area raking may be needed and of course that will providing more good stuff for the compost.

A final act that will reap rewards is to wander, pen and paper in hand, and note where things are planted providing a useful and pleasurable winter diversion; armed with catalogues and gardening books, mug and goodies in hand, one can while away many hours planning for the next gardening season, while contemplating the rich gifts that this year’s garden has stored in your mind.

Congratulations to

Gary Randles of Quispamsis on his recent “nomination and upcoming induction” into The Maritime Motor Sports Hall of Fame!

Recognition that comes from a lifetime of dedication!

Ceremony will take place on November 15, 2014 at the Delta Prince Edward Hotel in Charlottetown P.E.I.

THE TREE 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.

Poem by Byron Williamson, Rothesay

AROUND & AbOUT by David goss YOU NEED A HOBBY! During the decades that Millidgeville resident Byron Thomas worked for Public Works of Canada as a project manager he travelled the province to supervise various work under progress. He met many people and in talking with them was fascinated with the range of hobbies they had to fill their spare hours. When he retired in 2008, he had a couple of hobbies himself to fill in the hours, namely model railroading and photography.

Many Millidge Avenue residents see Bryon at dawn and dusk hiking down around the Kennebecasis taking pictures by the hundreds of the marsh, the river, the offshore islands, the RKYC. Another passion of Byron’s is travel, and he has taken great hundreds of shots on his trips when he wandered around England and eastern North America, and later shared these on display panels at the Mission Church

in Millidgeville.

Byron believes strongly that everyone should have a hobby, or perhaps two or three. “It opens up your world,” he claims, and to prove his point, he has taken on the task of organizing what he says is the first ever hobby show in Saint John. “It’s a lot of work,” he says, “but having been involved with the organization of the Heritage Fair in February with Dave Goss, I pretty well know what to do. “The Hobby Show will be held through the co-operation of the Hardman Group at Market Square on Saturday, November 8 from 9:00am-3:00pm. On that day, the range of hobbyist will range from model train and aircrafts enthusiasts, those who are into Astronomy, and followers of paranormal activity in the area. There will also be comic book collectors, some who are fascinated by finding out about their ancestors and do genealogy, and more hands-onactivity like wood carving, painting and model train construction. History

buffs, ham radio operators, and those with postcard collections and military collectibles will be present too, as will be members of the library staff, whose collection of books can be helpful to anyone seeking to take up a hobby, or expand their knowledge. By the time the event occurs, there may be more hobbyist involved though it is limited to 24 tables. The event is free to the public.

As Byron says, “You need a hobby,” and this will be the time to see if something on display that day will meet your needs. 0004

Remembrance Day 2014

Why It’s Important to Remember Some of the most defining moments of Canadian history have taken place on battlefields far from Canada. Many people consider the battle of Vimy Ridge to be the defining moment when Canada came out from under the British Empire and stood on its own two feet for the world to see. A time when Canadians accomplished the unthinkable.

Juno Beach was another moment in Canadian history when our soldiers stepped up and did their best for the values Canadians believed to be worth fighting for. Today, Juno Beach and Vimy Ridge seem like the distant past, storied battles fought long ago; but those stories are important, they keep the memories of our brave men and women who have fought and died for our country alive.

While those who went to war may have been thinking of their own loved ones and the values and beliefs that they held near and dear to their hearts, they were also protecting our values and ensuring that the Canada they loved had a future they could be proud of. We enjoy the freedoms and rights that we d o thanks to the bravery of

those gone before, the ones who came back and the ones who didn’t. We don’t need to look any further than our own Charter of Rights and Freedoms to find a reason to be thankful.

Right now, so many people are fighting to have the kind of lives whicht are guaranteed to us. While these rights are written with ink on paper, they were guaranteed and protected on the battlefields.

So, if you’ve never been arrested for peaceful assembly, if you’ve enjoyed your right to vote freely, if you’ve never walked outside afraid for your life day after day, remember the brave men and women who fight and have fought to keep us all safe and free.

History of the Poppy The iconic poppy bloomed in Flanders Field after the bloody battles which took place there, and they still continue to bloom across Flanders today. It was a French woman, Madame E. Guérin, who first came up with the idea of wearing poppies as a symbol of the war. They were made by woman and children and the money was used to support wounded Veterans. The Poppy, as a symbol of remembrance, first came to Canada in November of 1921 and has bloomed over the hearts of Canadians ever since. Over 18,000,000 poppies are sold in Canada and overseas annually.

All the money from poppy sales goes

A soldier advancing through mud and barbed wire during the Battle of Passchendaele.

into a special account specifically set up to help veterans in need.

Over a half a million Canadians fought in World War One. Over one million Canadians fought in World War Two. Today we wear a poppy in remembrance of Canadians who fought in all wars, and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Why November 11th?

Remembrance Day used to be known as Armistice Day to recognize the Armistice signed by the Allies and Germany at the end of World War One, which took place November 11, 1918, at 11:00am (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month).

The first Armistice Day was held on the one year anniversary of the war’s end but didn’t become an official holiday until it was passed as the Armistice Day Act in May 1921. The Government, wishing to appease the business community combined the newly formed Armistice Day with the Thanksgiving holiday,

but this did not sit well with Veterans and the general public who did not like the idea of celebrating both a solemn occasion of remembrance and the bountiful occasion of Thanksgiving on the same day. The two holidays stayed linked for a decade to be held on the Monday before November 11.

It was in 1931 that Armistice Day became Remembrance Day to better encapsulate the idea of remembering the sacrifices of our brave soldiers and was fixed to November 11 regardless of the day of the week. Thus the first Remembrance Day was held on November 11, 1931 and Thanksgiving was pushed to mid-October to separate the two holidays.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

In Flanders Field

by Lt.Col John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

WE DO REMEMBER THEM. Royal Canadian Legion Branch #58, Kennebecasis 61 Marr Road, Rothesay, NB, (506) 847-5146

Far-called, our navies melt away; On dune and headland sinks the fire: Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!

Judge of the Nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget!

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe— Such boasting as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the law— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget!

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard— All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding, calls not Thee to guard— For frantic boast and foolish word, Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!

Recessional Thank you to all the men and women who bravely served and sacrificed for our country

by Rudyard Kipling

God of our fathers, known of old— Lord of our far-flung battle line Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine— Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart: Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart.

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget!

A Canadian soldier giving his dog a much needed wash.

We must remember…

If we do not remember, then the sacrifice of those many lives will be meaningless.

They died for us, for their homes and families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in; they died for Canada.

We remember in honour of those who unselfishly served our country and those who gave their lives for our freedom.

Remembrance Day

by Elizabeth Brewer

Today I took my poppy and pinned it on my coat And as I did I noticed a lump came to my throat.

The poppy bloomed upon my coat, a symbol that I wore To show that I appreciate the pain Canadians bore Men who then were young and trim, who went away to keep The freedoms Canadians held dear, and I began to weep.

Some of them who sailed away never journeyed home.

They sacrificed on foreign soil, and fought and died alone!

Walter W. White, presented in his uniform.

Others fulfilled their mission and set their sights to see Their lives forever changed by their gift to you and me.

Now their frames are stooped with age and their steps are getting slow But their passion still burns bright; they have the torch to throw.

So today I wore my poppy to remember those who died And to say “thank you” to those still walking by my side.

Those two small words are not enough to show that I remember And so I wear my poppy on the eleventh of November.

My heart o’erflows with gratitude and love for what you gave So that freedoms we must all hold dear are well preserved and saved.

Thank you to each veteran-we never will forget!

We love you and we honour you; forever in your debt!

Written to honour my dear friend, veteran Walter W. White.

Remember our Veterans with Pride and be sure to wear a Poppy.

ASK THE CHEF by colin sifton GREAT SOUP FOR FREE Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. I have been getting more and more questions about soups; how we make them and what tricks I might use when making them.

My sister used to laugh at me because I always said, anything can be made into soup. It’s true though; as long as you start with a good foundation, anything can be made into soup. They might not always be good soups, but soup nonetheless. What I mean by a good foundation is the stock, the principle flavour which determines what kind of soup you are building. There are five basic stocks; poultry stock, both dark and light, beef stock, also dark and light, pork stock, fish stock or fume, and a vegetable stock.

All these stocks are made from the leftovers of a great meal. If you have a prime rib dinner, save the bones and the fat cap. If you are cutting up carrots and

onions, save the skins. What we do is roast the bones with a little tomato paste.

Place in a pot and cover with water. Add the carrot peels, onion peels, a little celery and maybe some garlic. Simmer, don’t boil, for six to eight hours. This will make a stock. You can freeze that stock in convenient. With your stock you can make a large variety of soups. Generally you would add your favourite vegetables.

Try and pick the hardier ones as they hold up better and won’t go to mush. Then add diced meat or ground beef for your protein and then finish with a starch. This could be anything from rice to pasta and potatoes.

With flu and cold season we often like a nice bowl of chicken soup. This is the same principle and method. What I use to do is cook a whole chicken. This would give me three meals - dinner, sandwiches and the third, I would make a stock with the carcass and soup. Same as above with carrot skins, onion skins, celery but this time you only need to simmer for 4 hours.

Now you can make chicken noodle soup

or chicken and rice or any variety of broth soups you can think of. This is a much healthier way of making soup.

Vegetable stock is just that, the water from a a lot of vegetables which just gives your soup a little more flavour. Pork stock isn’t very popular but you cannot make a real split pea soup without it. Fish Fume is just fish with onion and celery, simmered for 45 minutes.

So don’t just throw away the scraps and peelings from your next dinner. Save some money and use as much as you can by making soups which are a great source of nutrients and only take a few minutes to heat up in the microwave for lunch. Get experimental with your stocks. If they don’t work, don’t worry, you were going to throw it all out a n y w a y.

SJ COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE The Saint John Community Christmas Exchange is a volunteer agency operating in the Saint John area, matching up those families in need with groups or individuals who wish to provide a Christmas dinner and small gifts to brighten Christmas for others. Each November the Exchange Office develops and maintains a new registration list of families, for the churches and agencies in the Saint John and surrounding area, helping to alleviate duplicate sponsors.

In 2013, over 7000 names including adults, children and teens were coordinated through the Christmas Exchange.

Individuals or groups wishing to assist a family or make a donation for a Christmas dinner may do so by contacting the Christmas Exchange office at 634-7868 or by email at: sjchristmasexchange@nb.aibn.com.

The Christmas Exchange Office will be open from November 17 until December 19, Monday to Friday from 9:00am-3:00pm. Those needing

assistance are asked to register at a church in their neighbourhood. 3184

BLUE BEARS NEWS Harry Miller's annual magazine campaign will be finishing at the end of the month. At every $10,000 dollars made, the teachers do something to embarrass themselves in front of the school. Also students, if you sell magazines, you can get some sweet prizes like an IPad mini, BEATS headphones or a mini Coca-Cola vending machine! If you’re one of the top 10 sellers, you can win some cash!

So students don’t forget to sell to help out our school!

Harry Miller Middle School has a choir for all grade levels for those students who love to sing! They are practicing really hard for their performance at the Empty Stocking Fund! New choir members are welcome!

At HMMS, we have three badminton teams, one for each grade, and every year the tryouts are in October.

Congratulations to everyone who

made their team and just remember that if you didn’t make it this year, there is always next year! Our coaches are pleased with their team selection and can’t wait for their upcoming tournaments.

The Red Cross babysitting course is being offered each Wednesday in the library for the months of November and December. Several students will be taking place in that!

A few days ago, members from the grade 6, 7 and 8 cross country team became the Provincial Champions!

Congratulations Blue Bears on a great job!

If you have a birthday in October, you’ll be invited to celebrate on October 31 in the staff room with Mrs. Demmons and Mme. McCrea.

This happens on the last day of every month where students can go and get a piece of cake!

There is always a lot happening at HMMS! Be sure to check out our “HM Happenings” which will be sent out every Friday informing parents and students of upcoming events!

Harry Miller is doing great and hopes that everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween! Emma Stephen. 0034

27TH ANNUAL STURGEON HUNT The Pickwauket Lions Club held their 27th Annual Great Quispamsis Sturgeon Hunt with 94 fishers partaking in the

event on October 5th at Meenan’s Cove in Quispamsis. The weather for this year’s event was not great but did not deter the

fish or the fishers.

For the first time the winner of the event, Gary Carter of Quispamsis, captured 1st, 2nd and 4th place. There was one fisherman who caught 10 sturgeon, unfortunately none were large enough to win a prize.

This is a major fundraiser for our Club and I would like to thank our major sponsors and those who donated prizes for this event.

MUSINGS by Debbie hickey CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT...

Such innocuous words, but when you think about it, what a negative comment. A warning, a rebuke, that the consequences of curiosity will be serious and undesirable.

I am a great believer in curiosity. That and perseverance are two traits I would

encourage all parents to nurture in their children. Curiosity comes naturally to young children, surrounded by a myriad of possibilities, of knowledge to pursue.

Why do the leaves change colour? Why is it sunny but cold in winter, but sunny and warm in summer? Why do we need money? Why? Why? Why? A yearning to know that over time becomes dulled and formalized into only schools providing

answers, and then only to the questions someone else has decided are the ones we need to know. We stifle that sense of wonder, that yearning to know, and insist everyone fit into the little round holes and learn the same things in the same way. We allow little room for those creative souls who follow the paths less travelled, and by doing so have the opportunity to discover new things.

As to perseverance, the dictionary will tell you it is “steady persistence in a course of action . . . especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement”.

How is it linked to curiosity? Perhaps it isn’t. But it is most surely linked to the pursuit of answers to the why questions.

Perseverance is my recommended course of action when dealing with bureaucracy where ever encountered, but most particularly government departments which impact on our lives. It is simply a course of action based on not giving up until every why question has a satisfactory answer. I was reminded recently of an incident when my daughter was in middle school and the teacher insisted a parent sign her agenda every night. Why? To ensure she had completed her homework.

I had not been checking her homework for several years by that point, so I asked was there a problem, was her homework not done? No. Then why did the agenda need to be signed? Absent a satisfactory answer, I refused to sign the agenda. I would not insult my daughter by checking her homework, and if I did not check I would not sign that I had. Was my child going to be punished because she had a parent who was anti agenda signing? No. Fine, I would not be part of making her fit that particular round hole; we all have better things to do with our time than waste it on foolish policies with no purpose.

Most people would consider Albert Einstein a brilliant mind. But here is what he said about himself: “I have no special talent.

I am only passionately curious.” . . . “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

Curiosity and perseverance.
