From about the age of 13 and into my early 20s, I was very happily involved in the Boy Scout movement. As you may know the scout motto is Be Prepared and its one that I have tried to follow as best I can. Their secondary motto of course is Help Little Ole Ladies and I have been faithful to it also through many years of marriage. In preparing for the worst, I now have all of the wood for next winters heating already stacked away undercover. I also have about another two year supply on hand if needed. This is the earliest ever for being prepared, but due to the wet weather and the hot weather, it hasnt been attractive to be out in the woods doing much fresh logging and so more things are getting done closer to home. Another reason for my early bird readiness is Climate Change. While most of us think of climate change as Global Warming, it also means strange and often severe weather events such as tornados. While a major snow storm in August does seem unlikely, I do think that we need to Be Prepared for weather that is more extreme and unpredictable than what we have traditionally experienced. So while it is possible that we could be sun bathing in December, other extremes could occur. As part of being prepared I am looking for a logging wench or is it winch ... basically a tractor attachment or wife that will go into the woods and fetch back trees that have been felled. While playing around in the woods is one reason to have a winch the primary purpose of course is to pull short people out of deep snow banks. With over two tons of pulling force, I should be able to rescue the missus from most situations. Anyone one having a good used one (winch not wife) please give me a call. Some further thoughts: It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan. - Eleanor Roosevelt. As men get older, the toys get more expensive. - Marvin Davis.

You! . . . . . after finishing this years Hampton 5-Miler and Kids Kilometre Mile on Sunday, September 11th. Runners, walkers and waddlers are welcome. This year will mark the eleventh annual for this well organized event that will probably see over 300 people of all ages, speeds and abilities begin at the High school at 10:00am and cover a five mile circuit around Hampton. The event runs the gamut from being a Super Series run and 5 Mile Provincial Championship for the more serious runners, to being a family affair with a special run for those under 13, and everything in between. There is also babysitting in the school for younger ones if mom and dad want to both participate. The Hampton 5-Miler and Kids Kilometre Mile is sponsored by the Hampton River Runners, a group of runners and walkers, who organize it for the benefit of the community. All money raised by way of registration fees stays in Hampton to promote healthy active living, and this year we are also encouraging people to bring their gently used running shoes to donate to the Hampton Food Basket. Get your neighbor, your spouse, your kids, and join us on Sunday, September 11th. You will feel fantastic and you will be among hundreds of others who feel the same. Pre-registration is encouraged at www. atlanticchip.ca or www.runningroom.com . You can also call Jeremy Fry at 832-2710 or Joe Kennedy at 832-5511 for more information. 822

TWO FOr The PrICe OF ONe!

Its that time of year when most garden centers are selling their surplus stock for about half of the usual market price and wonderful, irresistible bargains abound. Many of the perennials on offer, (theres not much point in bothering with annuals at this stage of the game) are root bound and in many cases dying for want of a good soaking. The best approach is to remove the pot from the contents and place the plant in a bucket of water for at least 24 hours, this will help to revive it and the roots can more easily be teased out to the point where they no longer maintain the shape of the container that they filled. A hole needs to be prepared the same depth and twice the width of the container so that the soil level remains constant, a sprinkling of bone meal and some good compost should surround the planting and a daily watering schedule arranged for at least a week. Should the plant possess any blossoms it is well to remove the older ones at the very least, preferably all of them, allowing the plant to devote all its energy into establishing a good root system which will pay dividends next year. Black, red and white currants abound at this time and with minimum effort one can do a bit of a two for one gig with them; have on hand a good pair of sharp secateurs along with a sturdy bowl for collection purposes. When harvesting from wood stock that is three or more years old for black, or four or more years old for red or white, the cane should be removed as close to the ground as possible; those canes will only bear scantily in the future and their presence will actually cause reduced yield for the younger canes. Once this operation is concluded the weaker or misshapen canes should be removed so that about a dozen remain on each bush, a mix of one and two year old canes. Surrounding the pruned bushes with a good compost/manure mix will ensure a bumper harvest for next year and a major fall job will be done at the same time as harvesting the bounty. Now all that remains is to decide on jam, jelly, wine, frozen berries, syrup etc. Next year there will be such abundance you wont have to choose, you will have enough crop to do the lot!

A summer food drive by the Saint John Real Estate Board has raised well over two tons of food for food banks in southwest New Brunswick. Last month, the Board issued a challenge to its membership, after hearing about shortages at local food banks, to come up with 1,000 pounds of food before the end of July. A friendly competition among the 280 REALTOR members of the Board generated one ton of food, and then the REALTORS hosted barbeques at three Superstore locations, accepting food and cash donations from the public in exchange for barbequed hamburgers and hotdogs. The generosity of the public was overwhelming, said Barry MacDonald, Chair of the REALTORS Care Committee, which coordinated the food drive. People gave by the bag-full, and even by the cart-full. About 55 REALTORS participated in the barbeque events, cooking up food, collecting donations, and circulating among the shoppers in the store to remind them about the food drive. Expectations were high, according to the Board, but the end tally, coming it at 4,381 pounds, surpassed 2 tons. That blew the goal we set for ourselves right out of the water, said Board President Jason Stephen. I am very proud of the generosity of the members of our Board and the members of our community. Of particular note, Stephen points out, is the donation of Saint John REALTOR George Carroll, who brought in 725 pound of food. I like a challenge, laughed Carroll last week, as he brought in yet another load of bags of flour, juice, and canned goods. And I hate to lose!

The Franklin Walden Ministries Annual Canadian Campmeeting will be held this year in Quispamsis from Wednesday, August 24th - Sunday, August 28th. Many people probably still recall wonderful evangelistic meetings when Franklin Walden Sr. used to visit this area years ago. His son, Pastor Franklin Walden Jr. of The Vision Church, Valdosta, GA is continuing in his fathers footsteps and will be guest speaker at the third Annual Campmeeting held in Atlantic Canada. There will be other guest speakers including Pastor David Gagnon of Creekside Community Church, Alymer, Ontario. Services start nightly at 7:00pm (free admission) and everyone both young and old are welcome to attend. We are expecting it to be a wonderful time of fellowship and ministry of the Word and look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. If you enjoy anointed gospel singing be sure to come early with music beginning each night at 6:30pm. This event will take place at the Amsterdam Inn, 114 Millennium Drive. Come and bring a friend. We hope to see you there! Contact Lori Reid 849-3113 for more information. 219 By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet. ~Thomas Merton

The 3rd Annual Hammond River Duck Race is just around the river bend! It will be taking place at the Hammond River Angling Association on Sunday, August 28th and there will be food, fun and a fantastic chance to win $500. All proceeds go to Muscular Dystrophy Canada, so adopt a rubber duck today and get ready for the cutest race of the season! The Duck Race is an annual fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, a non-profit organization whose mission it is to find a cure for neuromuscular diseases. The event is like a horse race, except instead of betting on a horse, you adopt a rubber duck and enter it into the race. First duck to cross the finish line wins 500 big kahunas (also known as Canadian dollars.) Even if you cant attend - each duck is numbered so when you purchase a ticket, your duck will be set aside as an entrant in the race. If your duck ends up winning we will notify you via phone/ email right after the fact! To adopt a duck or purchase a ticket for the event call 849-4245 or email - darshana.sen@muscle.ca. It takes $5 to adopt a duck and that affords you one entry into the race. Muscular Dystrophy Canada is a national voluntary agency, which is committed to eliminating neuromuscular disorders and alleviating the associated distress. By taking part in this event youre helping us take one step closer to finding a cure. Besides - when else are you going to have the chance to take part in a Duck Race? 811

The largest of three islands found on the Long Reach section of the St. John River, Catons Island is celebrating its 400th Anniversay of being the first European Settlement in present day New Brunswick. Also, the first Holy Mass on the St. John River was performed in October of 1611 on Catons Island by the Jesuit priest, Father Pierre Baird. Orginally the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) called the island Akmenhenik which meant Island of Prayers or Meeting Place. The French, who set up the first European Settlement used the name Ile Emenenic and then Isle aux Grace. In 1765, when the English were in possession of Acadia and planned to settle the St. John River, a grant including the island was given to Captain Issac Caton and his brother James. The brothers had come from Pennsylvania and set up a trading post on the island. After the American Revolution and with the arrival of the Loyalists in 1783, other families would take ownership of the island but the name Catons Island remains. In recognition of 400 years the public is invited to attend a rededication ceremony of the monument placed in 1911. Free transportation of visitors to Catons Island will commence at 8:30am, compliments of Catons Island Camp, with the last boat leaving from Browns Flat/Beulah at 11:00am. The ceremony commences at 11:30am in the Amphitheatre with greetings brought from various organizations, cultures and faiths who have had an interest in the island over the last half century. Lt. Governor Graydon Nicholas will be the guest speaker. A public reception in the dining hall will follow the re-dedication of the monument. Personal boaters are welcome at the Island for this occasion. 816 Relatives of Norman and Frances (Orr) Goddard are invited to attend the family reunion at the Millstream Rec Centre in Berwick on Saturday, August 27th. Festivities begin at 1:00pm and include: Kids games at 1:30; registration for car rally and more kids games from 1:30-2:15pm. Please bring your pictures and stories!

The District 6 Health Advisory Committee is pleased to announce that the Rothesay Kings Rotary Club is the winner of the 2011 Celebrate Wellness Leadership Award for Healthy Eating. Through donations and volunteering their time, the members of the Rothesay Kings Rotary Club provide a healthy breakfast to students at Rothesay Elementary, Quispamsis Elementary and Quispamsis Middle Schools. Without the help of teachers, parents and organizations such as the Rotary Club, many students would not have the benefit of a nutritious meal before starting the school day. Justin Stoodley, Community School Coordinator for Rothesay Elementary School, states that with the generous support and volunteer hours of Rothesay Kings Rotary Club, over 150 students in the area are provided with a healthy breakfast each day. Information collected from our middle and high schools indicates that many are not consuming breakfast regularly. The 2009-2010 Wellness Survey shows that over one-quarter of students in grades 6 to 12 in District 6 eat breakfast twice a week or less. Students skip breakfast for a variety of reasons. According to the Wellness Survey in District 6, 5% do so because theres nothing to eat at home, but almost a quarter of students say its because they dont have enough time. A recent report by the New Brunswick Health Council shows that less than one in three children ages 10 to 19 years old eat breakfast daily. Eating a nutritious breakfast not only helps students be healthy, it promotes academic success. Health Canada reports that students who eat breakfast regularly demonstrate better memory, problemsolving skills and creativity. A study done in Boston indicates that

the improved nutritional status of students participating in a free breakfast program can contribute to better attendance, math grades and behaviour. Thank you to all of the Healthy Eating Award nominees who contribute to the health of students in District 6 and congratulations to the Rothesay Kings Rotary Club! 222

SChOOL DAYS

As we start the wind down of summer to September, for many of us the beginning of the school year looms large in our view. It has been several years since my daughters were in school, but this September marks the first day of kindergarten for the grand granddaughter. She has attended preschool and loved it. She has had a visit to the school in May which included a short drive on the school bus, which seemed to go well. Her biggest concern seems to be that school bus . . . maybe those Magic School Bus stories have her a little worried? As the parent of young children I enjoyed my summers with them, but I was certainly ready for school to open by September. Life could then resume some semblance of normality (which is pretty elusive at any time of the year with kids!), at least until Christmas. I sometimes wondered what it is like in different climates, where summer isnt much different from winter. Would two one month school breaks spaced throughout the year be as luxurious as that two full months plus off ? As a child, I loved the newness of the new school year. New pencils, new scribblers, new books. There is something so satisfying about cracking open that new scribbler and writing the first words. A sense of the journey ahead and the new things to learn. For I always loved to learn. If we teach our children nothing else, a healthy curiousity about the world will serve them well. They will need the reading and numeracy skills as well, but it is that curiousity to explore that drives learning for the shear joy of learning. Kids are born with it, but we need to encourage it to ensure it does not get lost. I KNOW it can be annoying to answer the tenth question in five minutes, but how else will they learn? We are all teachers, whether we realize it or not, and every moment is a teaching opp or tu n it y. Summer vacation included . . . what are you teaching right now? They say that we are better educated than our parents generation. What they mean is that we go to school longer. It is not the same thing. ~ Richard Yates. 801
