You may remember my last Ravings about how a simple project like changing tires on an old woods trailer can turn into a nightmare of problems. Of course at your age you may not remember!! I had concluded with the words of wisdom Persistence can even overcome stupidity. So being persistent, I developed my next idea. Cut out the center hub of the wheels that came off the old trailer. Next cut out the center hub of the new wheels to go on the trailer. Finally, weld the old hubs to the newer rims Et Voila. Several hours of cutting and welding and I am ready for the finishing touches. I had removed the tires from my newer rims before doing the welding since I didnt want to have them go up in smoke before my very eyes. And, I also wanted to clean up any rust that was lurking inside that might cause problems. So, on a sunny and hot Saturday morning I am ready. Get tire one partially installed on my modified rim, slip in the new inner tube I had picked up, finish installing tire, start adding air, start cursing as I hear air leaking out, add more air, do more cursing!! Remove tire and tube, find a cut in my new tube and decide to move on to tire two. Steps 1, 2 and 3 are perfect. Start adding air, start watching in dismay as the short valve stem slips back inside the tire, start removing tire but cant break it back down because the air already in the tube is holding it in place. Hot, sweaty and very cranky (I know I sound like the missus), I take a long thin screw driver and puncture the inner tube to release the pressure!! Decide that either a tire or myself is going to explode if I continue and wisely decide to wait for another day. The next day, patch inner tubes, repeat installation procedures, add air, SUCCESS, so simple!! Mounting the rims on the old trailer went pretty smoothly and there they are, painted a fire engine red, they look wonderful!! Now, I will be very surprised if my welding efforts happen to let go!! Indeed, depending on where and when the welds fail, I may be more than surprised!! Caution Please!! DO NOT make these modifications to your family van!! Do NOT modify the rims of Aunt Lizzies 1967 Valiant, no matter how cool it would look with 20 tires!! 800

I promise you that I will not let you down. I want to finish school and be a nurse so that I can help other people. I promise to study very hard. Nonhlanhla Dlamini. Through generosity of the people in the Hampton are, we are paying school fees for a number of students like Nonhlanhla at Fundukuwela and Piggs Peak Central high schools in Piggs Peak, Swaziland. I recently spoke with the new principal at Peak Central (PCH) who asked me to thank the people of Hampton for paying for needy orphaned students. He emphasized that Swaziland has been hard hit by HIV/AIDS and, in a letter to the Partnership, asked that God keep and make grow such a good relationship between our two organizations. Last week, John Lovett gave us a brief update, telling us We had a meeting and pep talk session with the PCH/Hampton students yesterday. The head Teacher and Student Counsellor also attended and provided some inspiration for the students. We often have meetings with the students and this was the first time that a head teacher has participated. It shows Mr. Mncinas dedication and commitment to his students as well as to his cooperation with Hampton. He talked to the students about Hampton and about his telephone conversation with you. He explained that Hampton is just a small town of 4000 people, rather smaller than Piggs Peak and that the students who are assisted by Hampton are privileged and special. The students expressed their appreciation for Hamptons help and made promises to continue doing their best. I believe we have a good group of kids here who will make something of their lives and I am sure that Hampton will be proud to see some of their senior students successfully graduating from High School at the end of this year. To continue providing the support for which Mr Mncina and his students are so thankful, we require your on-going financial assistance. Over the next few weeks we will have a couple major fundraisers for which I ask your support. We will be selling tickets ($20 each or 3 for $50) on the Hampton Artists Mosaic, what might be one of the most important works of art to be produced in Hampton. (And with our cadre of artistic talent, that is saying something!). You will have the opportunity to view this masterpiece at our Piggs Peak Garden Party that will be hosted at the home of Bev and Marje Harrison, 52 Centennial Drive, on Sunday, August 14th from 2:00-5:00pm. Refreshments will be provided and guests will be treated to special musical entertainment.

A university professor, John Varty, who taught agriculture and environmental history courses through Yale and now at McMaster, is making his way across eastern Canada driving a Massey Ferguson tractor with a mobile farmhouse behind it. Travelling with him are his partner, Molly Daley, and cameraman, Michael Lieu. John was born in London, Ontario and raised in Kingston where his familys seven-generation farm is still in the Varty name. Molly Daley does not come from a farming background but has adapted to one quickly and enthusiastically. Michael Liew grew up in the Toronto suburbs. They are hoping to develop a documentary on food production in Canada to encourage city people to look at what theyre willing to give up for safe food and fair payment for the farmers who produce that food. Their journey is to draw attention to how food is produced and the struggles faced by Canadian farmers. They plan to travel about 100 kilometers per day offering farmers a chance to voice their opinions. John will be sitting down with farmers and having extended chats about what they do for themselves and for us and why agriculture production has changed in Canada as farmers work to meet the demands of growing populations. For information on their journey, their story of how they got started with building their mobile dwelling from almost all recycled materials such as 150 year old barn boards, or to read the information they learn about the lives of the average Canadian farmer, visit their website www.tractorcanada.com. 133 There will be a reunion for descendents of Lemuel & Augusta Lackie on Sunday, August 7th at the Lackie Camp (Carsonville Road, Mt. Hebron). There will be contests and games for children and adults. Pot luck meal at 4:00pm. Rain date if necessary will be Sunday, August 14th. 838

HACC is delighted to see the decorative banners are finally installed! In 2004 the local Chamber led a campaign to raise funding to purchase banners, but for many reasons, the project was put on hold. With the Town Square and Hampton Pavillion now complete, it is appropriate that the banners take their place of honour. Designed by then HACC President, Beverly Campbell, in cooperation with the Town, the banners feature a sketch of the Hampton Courthouse, on a green background, reversing to white. The Chamber wishes to thank the following businesses who contributed to the banners campaign: Atlantic Press 2000; Bonney Construction Ltd.; Dr. Eric Caissie; Dr. James Collings; Cookes Heating Service; Five Sons Video & Convenience; Dr. R. Fisher; Floyds Store Ltd.; Great Canadian Dollar Store; Hampton Auto Supplies; Hampton Dental Clinic; Hampton Flower Shop; Hampton Hardware Ltd.; Hampton Pharmasave; Hampton Save Easy; Hollys Restaurant; J.M.

Recently a celebration was held at St. Pauls Presbyterian Church in Hampton to recognize all those who take part in the Roots of Empathy program, especially the youngest volunteers, the babies and their parents! Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based classroom program shown to have dramatic effect in reducing levels of aggression and violence among school children while raising social/emotional competence and increasing empathy. The program involves making 27 visits to the classroom to cover nine themes including communication, emotions, safety and caring for baby. The cornerstone of the Roots of Empathy program is a monthly visit with a parent and a baby less than one year of age. From September to June, the class observes the infants development and uses the babys and parents experiences as catalysts for exploring their own feelings, thus creating a forum for empathy and compassion. We find that the students easily transfer this empathy to their peers. Mary Gordon, the founder of Roots of Empathy, believes there is an incredible pressure to deliver children to the workforce and lamenting , over the loss of the affective side of education states, I believe we should be delivering students to a civic society, not only with the work skills but with the people skills. True learning involves hands, heart and mind. By addressing the issues of empathy and compassion, we are giving children the ability to be fully participating citizens in the world of feelings and actions. The Roots of Empathy Steering Committee would also like to recognize our community partners who have contributed financially so that we could provide this evidence-based program in our schools. Special thanks to the Dr. David Stephen Memorial Foundation, School District 6, the Community Mental Health Services, Sussex and Area; Sussex and Area Community Foundation, Moncton Community Foundation, St. Pauls Presbyterian Church, and the Saint John United Way. 521

What Is Fracking?: Fracking is short for hydraulic fracturing and involves injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals, at high pressure, into the ground (shale rock) to fracture the rock in order to release trapped natural gas so that it can be collected. One frack-job requires four million litres of water and thousands of kilograms of chemicals. Each well is fracked multiple times, producing frack fluid and brine containing heavy metals and radioactive elements from the rock formations for the entire life of the well (up to forty years). This wastewater must be stored, handled and treated. The rest, more than 90%, all of which is contaminated, remains underground, where the long term effects of its migration are unknown. In New Brunswick existing wells in Penobsquis and Elgin are being fracked. Texas and Alberta-based oil and gas companies are looking to do this throughout New Brunswick. If you are concerned about shale gas exploration in New Brunswick and the threat that this poses to our water supply and wish to learn more, visit; conservationcouncil.ca or facebook. com/ccnbshalegas. GASLAND is a documentary feature written and directed by Josh Fox. It was the winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2010. This is only one of several awards won by the film at various festivals. It has been described as riveting (LA Weekly), one of the most effective and expressive environmental films of recent years (Variety) and on the wantto-see scale, GASLAND tops the list (Washington Post). Fox travels to several US communities tapped by hydraulic fracturing or fracking (a procedure to release natural gas from the ground) and gets first-hand information from people in these communities. He presents his findings in the film. GASLAND will be shown at the Pavilion in the new Hampton Town Square on wednesday, July 27th at 9:00pm (rain date is Thursday, July 28th). Bring your lawn chair and become more informed about the environmental effects of fracking. On Monday, August 1st (New Brunswick Day) there will be a walk in Fredericton to express concern for the environmental effects of shale gas exploration. The walk will start at 12:00 noon at the Old Native Burial Ground near Government House and end at the Legislature. Submitted by Jayne M. Wilbur, Hampton Water First. 124 There will be a reunion for those who attended Rothesay Regional High School during the years 1957 to 1964. The date for the Reunion is July 29th-30th.

One of the most satisfying jobs in the garden is that of dead heading, with the profusion of blooms that we are now enjoying it becomes a vital act if the pleasure is to continue. All annuals and a great many perennials benefit from having the dead flower heads removed as soon as possible after their demise, a pair of sharp scissors usually suffices, though secateurs might be best for lilacs and woody bushes. The goal of a blooming plant is not, as we might fondly assume, to give us great joy, but to ensure the survival of the species. Clearly, if the plant is thwarted by having the potential seed decapitated before fully formed, it will need to keep on producing flowers, ever hopeful of an outcome of ripe fruit; thus extending the blooming period beyond the time that an untended plant would bloom. Roses require the spent bloom to be cut off just above the next leaf junction to produce new buds, though there are many that will continue to bloom until after the first frost. Those that are not repeat bloomers can be left to produce rose hips, great for a really beneficial and tasty jelly, or simply to leave for birds to eat over the unmentionable season to come! Lilac bushes do seem to benefit from having their spent flowers removed and its a good practice to prune the bushes at the same time; however great care needs to be taken before pruning any bushes until after the birds have raised their families, intentional observation regarding bird activity is essential if we are to maintain the wonderful diversity of bird life that we are blessed with. Not only are our feathered friends a joy to hear and to see, but they provide quite the best method of insect control that its possible to get, non-toxic and totally without cost, seems that we have the best of all possible worlds. While on that subject, its a good practice to cut down any undergrowth from below bird feeders, clear ground or mowed vegetation, have a double advantage of allowing a great view of the show and reducing the hiding places for marauding felines. This article started with the concept that dead heading is one of the most satisfying gardening experiences. It provides an opportunity to be really grateful for the beauty that surrounds us, so often taken for granted, with each snip of the cutters a prayer of thanks can be offered, and a joy remembered; save up the images of the glorious blossoms in your mind to re visit during the unmentionable season. 805

Chelsey Brown, a recent Belleisle Regional High School graduate, has spent most of her young life finding ways to have a positive impact on the community. Her leadership at school, in athletics and in the community makes her a natural choice for this years Primrose Scholarship in the amount of $5,000. Chelseys athletic involvement in rugby, soccer, basketball, archery and downhill skiing is as impressive as her academic standing. And yet, her time and devotion do not end with school activities. She helps a wide range of worthy causes as a volunteer for Teens Against Drinking and Driving, Smart Risk, church suppers and other community events. Her ability to combine academic studies with extracurricular activities has given her a keen sense of the value of education. To the selection committee of the Primrose Scholarship Chelsey wrote, Education is like a river that never runs dry, it opens up endless opportunities and with it the power to accomplish your career goals. Chelseys community spirit and her belief in the power of education will be a great benefit to her as she pursues her science degree at UNB Saint John. She hopes one day to attend medical school so that she can continue to make a difference. 131

Summer 2011 seems to have gotten off to a slow start, but the weather is finally co-operating and Peninsula Heritage has plans for you. The John Fisher Memorial Museum, located in the basement of Macdonald Consolidated School in Kingston, is open for the summer season until Labour Day. Come and enjoy the colourful exhibit of wood artistry which is on display in our summer gallery, view our permanent exhibit, do some family research, take in a tour of 1789 Trinity Church and cemetery or just walk the grounds of the Kingston Historic District, which will lead you to 1810 Carter House Tea Room, Gift Shop, Library, Heritage Site and Gardens. All sites are open daily, Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00am-4:00pm until September 3rd. Ask our staff about a tour or picnic at the Cedars Light in Long Reach. The trail leading to the light is open to the public at all times but a tour of the building itself is available by appointment only. Parking to access the trail is available at the Frances Smith Memorial Hall or St. James Church. If you are interested a tour of St. James Church, housing one of the few Queen Anne Pulpits in the country and built as the Chapel of Ease in the 1800s, one might even be arranged. Information regarding Peninsula Heritage and/or the above activities may be obtained by calling 763-2101 or 832-2902. Robert Grave and Captain Marveille, both from St. Malo, France, set up a trading post on Catons Island in 1611 with the intent to trade furs with the local inhabitants, the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet). Grave was probably the first European to learn to speak the native language and lived on the island until 1619. Also in 1611, the first Catholic Mass was held at this settlement on Catons Island by Father Baird (Jesuit). To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first European Settlement in what is now New Brunswick, and the first celebration of mass, Peninsula Heritage Inc., in conjunction with the NB Historical Society and the Catons Island Camp/Wesleyan Church, there will be a public celebration on the island on Saturday, September 10th. A gathering in the ampitheatre to celebrate the meeting of two great cultures 400 years ago will include Lt. Governor Graydon Nicholas. A re-dedication of the monument placed on the island in 1911 to commemorate the 300th anniversary will be followed with a public reception in the dining hall. Catons Island is situated in the Long Reach section of the St. John River and lies about 26 kilometres above the City of Saint John. Access to the island is by ferry (people only) from the Browns Flat/ Beulah land side of the river which will be provided by the Catons Island Camp for this event. The public is also invited to come by personal boat. More details to follow! 411

Lets face it life can be hard, the knack is knowing how much is too much. When does the everyday stress of work, bills and not enough time or the sadness and loss of a divorce or a death become something to be concerned about? Many members of our community are living and struggling with highly treatable conditions like depression, stress and anxiety. A few weeks back I was speaking with a friend about mental health issues and she explained how her grandmother always talked about having bad nerves. This really struck a chord with me when I realized just how many generations of people have lived under the crushing weight of mental illness because of a lack of understanding and stigma. We have the technical understanding and tools to go so much further today. As a community we have the power to be open, accepting and ready to learn more about mental illness and mental health issues. I encourage anyone who is fighting to take back their life to talk to someone, to ask for help. There are several resources in our community. As the Regional Community Worker with the Canadian Mental Health Association, I can provide educational presentations and support groups upon request, as well as referrals and advocacy. The Mental Health and Addictions Clinic has understanding professionals ready to hear your concerns, as well as a 24 hour emergency assistance phone number, we have our own Regional Hospital, as well as an active Suicide Prevention Committee and LINK in the schools to provide guidance and referrals for youth in crisis.

It is with great sadness that the family of Donald James Baillie announces his passing after a long, courageous battle with Alzheimers disease. Donald was born May 23, 1933, in East Saint John. He was the beloved son of the late Archibald & Alice (Wilson) Baillie. Donald is also predeceased by his older brother Ron, and eldest sister Thelma (Hall). Donald attended Saint John High School before joining the Bank of Nova Scotia in 1951 where he worked for over 40 years. Donald enjoyed playing baseball and basketball in his younger years, and was also an avid hunter, fisherman and outdoorsman. He had a great love of adventure and travel and loved to re-tell his stories. It was his love of the outdoors that found him back in NB after having retired from Scotia Bank. Donald had a quick witted sense of humour, and a kind, gentle heart. He was a wonderful, loving and devoted son, brother, uncle, cousin, husband, father, and grandfather. He leaves behind his wife of 45 years Pauline (Dale). Four children: Pamela Melnick (Matthew), Tracy Kessner (Eric), Ian Baillie (Debra) & Cindy Belyea (Jason). He also leaves behind seven grandchildren, Caitlin, Daniel, Emma, Logan, Natasha, Madeleine and Edward; one sister, Hilda Allen, and many nieces and nephews. The funeral was held July 6, 2011 from Reids Funeral Home, Hampton, to St. Alphonsus Church, Hampton. The Presider Rev. Kevin Barry and music was provided by St. Alphonsus Music Ministry. Readings were by Pamela Melnick and Stephanie Taylor. Prayers of the Faithful were by Cindy Belyea. The honourary pallbearers were: Frank Lahey, Don Wilson, Jamie Wilson and George Kelly. Interment was in St. Alphonsus Cemetery. The piper at the graveside was Paul Thom. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, that donations are made to the CAM Unit at St. Josephs Hospital, the Alzheimers Society of Canada, Hampton Food Basket or Dr. V.A. Snow Centre. Online memorials and condolences can be made at: www.reidsfh.com. Donald will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him, but will not be forgotten. It is with great sadness we announce the death of Annie (Rodgers) Dalling of Barnesville, widow of Russell Dalling, which occurred on Thursday, July 7, 2011 at the Saint John Regional Hospital.

Illegal dumps have no boundaries. In New Brunswick they can be found along public roads, near streams, on private property, along railroad lines, and other out-of-the-way places. Illegal dumping is misplaced solid waste and raises concerns over safety, property values and quality of life. It is also referred to as open dumping, fly dumping, midnight dumping, and wildcat dumping, because materials are often dumped in open areas, from vehicles and, at times - late at night. An examination of the literature suggests economics and low risk are factors affecting decisions to illegally dump. More specifically, research indicates those who illegally dump do so because they: Lack a sense of ownership; Believe someone else

will clean up what they have disposed of; Lack public awareness about the health and environmental risks.

I have had my Musings for this issue written in my head for several days, but had not yet taken the time to actually put it on paper. My topic, the 80/20 rule, something I had never heard of until I was in business, but had unknowingly been using in my life for many years. The 80/20 rule is a principle that 20 percent of something is always responsible for 80 percent of the results, or the law of the vital few and trivial many. In business, that may be that 80 percent of your sales come from 20 percent of your customers. In life, as I would model to my daughter to clean her room, it can look 80 percent better once 20 percent of the work is done! The trick of course is identifying the proper 20 percent to tackle. It applies to weeding the flower garden (focus on the BIG weeds first). It applies to . . . well, you get the picture. I had lots of stories I could use, some funny, some not so much. Then I picked up the book . . . Those who know me will tell you I devour books. I am one of those people who will stay up to all hours because I NEED to finish the current book. Not this one. I pick it up and read a chapter and have to put it down. I read it with a kleenex in my hand at all times, as each chapter will move me to tears, and I am not a weepy type. Each time I open it I receive a punch to my gut. So why do I continue? Because it is a book about not just surviving, but triumphing. It is book written by a woman who for three years was the national president of MADD Canada. It is the story of her personal loss of her son, and the stories of other families who have experienced loss and injury because of impaired driving. We all hear the news stories. This book picks up where those end. These are the stories of the families in those news stories. And though each delivers that punch in the gut, each also celebrates life. Mike and I walk the woods regularly. There are trees which have been severely altered by an experience at some earlier point in their lives, but that have nevertheless grown tall and beautiful. I have always admired their strength and resilience, their ability to triumph over adversity. The families in this book are like those trees. The book is called The Gift: A MADD Mothers Journey of Healing by Margaret Miller. It would be awesome if it were required reading for every person looking to get a drivers license. 801
