WASTE & RECYCLING

environmentally sound management of our waste. One, garbage must go into clear bags and any bags containing compost or recyclable materials will be rejected ... or... Two, each household can put out 2 bags of garbage every 2 weeks and all additional bags must be paid for. Once we have mandated that residents must be responsible in managing their household waste, then... adding curbside pickup of everything makes great sense. I think it is fair to say that the percentage of people who will behave in a consistent manner for the benefit of the environment is well below a majority. Imagine the difference between lowering the speed limit on our highways by 10 kph in order to reduce greenhouse emissions through better fuel economy and simply asking people to voluntarily slow down. And yes I realize that there will still be speeders, but with rare exception those now doing 120 and over will likely drop their speed by the 10 kph. It’s called not wanting to stand out in a crowd!! We need to mandate that people do the right thing or else like Buffalo find out what eight feet of snow looks like up close. 0001

Mike HickeyTech Support, Ossekeag Publishing

When we built our new house just over 5 years ago, we designed 3 storage areas under our work island. One was for garbage, one for compost and one for recyclables and returnables. When the recycling bin gets full or overflowing, the missus takes the plastic pail out to the garage and sorts it into the appropriate location. A large garbage can holds the returnables, while a storage shelf holds about 6 large plastic totes or boxes where the recyclables are further sorted according to the blue bins. With this kind of storage, we can usually go 3 to 4 months before we need to make a trip to the blues bins, but it is a full-car trip. The trunk is packed (we use the plastic bags to stuff all the nooks and crannies) and the back seat is piled almost to ceiling height and the missus of course is up front in the passenger seat (I’m still trying to figure out if she is returnable or recyclable). There is currently some thought and debate going on in the Fundy Solid Waste Region as to whether or not we can afford to add curbside pickup of recyclables and here is the answer. We currently have bi-weekly pickup of compost. As I drive around on compost weeks my best guess is that no more than 50% of households are sorting their compost. If we had recyclables, I would venture that the number of participants will not be any higher than the number of composters. There are only two methods that I see are viable for the long range

NAUWIGEWAUK DARLINGS SENIORS

The regular monthly meeting of the Nauwigewauk Darlings was held at the Nauwigewauk Community Hall on November 10, 2014. Nancy Ketchum, the president, called the meeting to order at 1:30pm. The National Anthem was sung followed by the Lord’s Prayer. There were 20 members present. The secretary, June Bull, read the minutes of the last meeting and the treasurer, Jean Johnson gave the treasurer’s report. The president read correspondence from the NB Senior Citizens Federation detailing items for the Annual General Meeting on May 5 & 6, 2015 in Moncton. No decision was made on a delegate to attend. Committee reports were given as well. Many members brought in items for the Food Bank which are going to be delivered by Judy Hill. Judy also gave us an update on her writing of a book on the history of our seniors group. She said the research is going well. Since the beginning, 81 seniors have joined the Nauwigewauk Darlings. She has 17 more interviews to do. The Dairy Zone dinner will be held in Belleisle on December 1. The next meeting of the Dairy Zone won’t take place until next April. It was decided to have our Christmas dinner at Holly’s after our next meeting on December 8. Following the meeting, our entertainment was Krista Connell playing fiddle and George Boone playing guitar and singing for us. It was most enjoyable. Following, we had a delicious lunch with birthday cake to celebrate six senior birthdays this month: Ruth Crowley, Les Scribner, Audrey Dodge, Lillian Sproul, John Daniels, and Judy Moore.

POINT OF VIEW by diane McMillan

DIFFICULT DECISIONS

Weeks after Brittany Maynard ended her own life under the Death with Dignity Act, the firestorm of controversy surrounding her death shows no signs of slowing down. For those who aren't familiar with her story, Maynard was the 29 year old American woman who garnered worldwide attention for announcing her intention to end her own life on November 1. Her terminal brain cancer diagnosis and subsequent choice to end her life put the right- to-die debate back in the media spotlight. Maynard moved from California (where she grew up) to Oregon with her family in order to access that state's Death with Dignity Act. Oregon is one of only three states that currently have death with dignity laws in place. She ended her life with a fatal dose of drugs prescribed by a physician, which terminally ill people who meet specific criteria can do legally in that state.

What began as a personal choice for Maynard soon turned into an international debate after she launched an online video campaign with the help of an end of life advocacy organization called Compassion & Choices. Her goal was to pass death with dignity laws across the United States, something her family will continue to fight for. Maynard's story struck a chord with many people, myself included. By all accounts, she loved life and certainly didn't want to die. She was an only child, married and desperately wanted to start a family of her own. Many people have judged her and condemned the choice she made. This past week, a Vatican official called Maynard's choice “reprehensible” and “an absurdity,” forcing Maynard's mother to defend her daughter's decision. "My 29 year old daughter's choice to die gently rather than suffer physical and emotional degradation and intense pain does not deserve to be labelled as 'reprehensible' by strangers a continent away who do not know her or the particulars of her

situation," I don't know if I would have made the same decision she did. However, I do know that it had to have been an extremely difficult one to make. I commend her for her courage to do what she felt was best for her and her family. She did not want to suffer and she did not want her family to witness her suffering. The truth is that nobody wants to face their own mortality. We would like to think we'll live long and healthy lives, free of sickness and suffering. But, the reality is that most of us have been faced with these harsh realities at one time or another. We don't have to agree with her decision, but I don't think we have the right to condemn it either.0032

ASK THE CHEF by colin Sift on

STUFFING OR DRESSING

Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. Stuffing or dressing? Which one is it? Christmas being just a few weeks away I thought I would tackle the great debate of stuffing and dressing. We all grew up with one or the other. It was a fixture at all Christmas or Thanksgiving feast. Rarely was it made any other time of the year. So what is it and why must we have it? Stuffing is exactly that; a mixture that we stuff inside the empty cavity of the bird. This dates back to the Roman times when they would stuff most anything. It commonly consisted of grains, nuts, old cereal, dried fruit, liver, brains and other organ meats. Luckily for us, some of that has gone away over the years. Today we have a general consistency with our stuffing. It is often dried bread, onions, savoury, salt and pepper with a few variations. For example I like to put finely chopped carrots, onions and celery which has been sweated off before adding it to my stuffing. I also like to add mashed potatoes because I find it give my stuffing a better texture. What I like about stuffing is that it is one of those great recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation with very little change. We may make a few minor changes to make it better (in our opinion) but the core of the recipe is still there and it has the ability to take us back to a simpler time when we were growing up and I think that is what we really like about stuffing. So what is dressing? I have worked all across Canada and I have cooked Christmas dinner at every place I worked. The difference between stuffing and dressing is nothing. They are the same thing. Some call it stuffing as in you are stuffing the bird. Others call it dressing as in you are dressing the bird. They mean the same thing. Someone once said it was because one is stuffed inside and the other is cooked outside the bird. Could be, sounds possible, but from my travels I have found both stuffed inside the bird. A few years back, Health Canada released a report saying that it was unhealthy to stuff your bird as it may increase your

chances of salmonella. I never stopped stuffing my turkeys because of it. Follow the correct cooking methods and you will be safe. I would suggest not leaving the dressing in the bird as it cools but don’t let a your traditions disappear over a little paranoia. Enjoy your Christmas feast whether you are dressing your turkey or Stuffing it. Merry Christmas to you and

your families from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering! 0040

OBITUARIESARMSTRONG,

WILLIAM EARLE

It is with sadness the family announces the death of William Earle Armstrong, age 93, of Saint John NB and formerly of Barnesville NB, husband of the late Hazel (DeBow) Armstrong, which occurred on Sunday, November 9 2014, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. He was born on February 6, 1921, a son of the late George and Merne (Kirkpatrick) Armstrong. Earle resided in Barnesville where he farmed for many years. He was well known for his weekly delivery route of farm produce to many customers in Saint John. He then worked at the Saint John General Hospital and Regional Hospital for 25 years before retiring. After moving to the Loch Lomond Villa in 2001, he was very active with the seniors, bowling team and various other events.

Earle is survived by his daughter Norma Henderson-Cook and her husband Peter Cook of Dollard des Ormeaux QC; sons Raymond (Ray) Armstrong (Ruby Malley) of Saint John NB, Kevin Armstrong (Mary Hickey) of Sussex NB; granddaughters Denise Whalen (Ryan), Nicole Armstrong-Inman (Dan), Christy Armstrong; great-grandson Easton Whalen; sisters Irene Rodgers of Hampton NB, Phyllis Thompson of Sussex NB; life-long friend Jean Kilpatrick of Saint John NB; foster-brother David Lifford of Sylvan Lake AB; several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his infant son Kenneth Earle Armstrong and son-in-law Jim Henderson. He rested at Reid’s Funeral Home, Hampton, with visitation on Tuesday, November 11, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00pm. Funeral service, conducted by Rev. Kent Burnett, was held on Wednesday,

November 12, 2014 at 2:00pm, from Barnesville Presbyterian Church. Rev. Rob Marsh read the pastoral prayer and Ron Henderson read scriptures.

Business Insurance -“Are you protected?”

One of the greatest risks to a business is the potential exposure to Liability...

Commercial auto insurance protects your company for the operation of an automobile, but what about your non-auto exposures? Commercial General Liability provides coverage for your business activities if your company’s negligence causes injury or property damage to another. Many businesses in Atlantic Canada, due to our population & geography, often conduct more than one business activity. It is critical that your insurance policy states all your business activities.

Should your business begin a new venture, your insurance provider must be noti� ed of this change immediately.

Under the program, the LPF may provide funeral and burial assistance to:• a former member of the armed forces or any predecessor naval, army or air forces of Canada or Newfoundland;• a Merchant Navy Veteran of the Second World War or the Korean War;• an Allied Veteran who served with the Allied Forces during the Second World War or the Korean War and has also lived in Canada for at least 10 years, or lived in Canada prior to enlisting and was living in Canada at the time of death.

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWSsuch case was Nokuthula Tsela. John Lovett tells her story. “Nokuthula was an orphan with a younger sister who took on the role of parent to her younger sibling when her mother died. She completed primary school but there was no money for her to attend high school. At the age of fourteen, she went to work in the clothing factories in Matsapha, hoping she could save enough to continue her schooling. On a wage of a few hundred rand a month, (less than fifty dollars), she had to support herself, paying for rent and

food as well as providing for her younger sister who was still in primary school. After four years, she had saved barely a few hundred rand - not enough to provide any hope of paying school fees.” “When she was eighteen, Hampton agreed to sponsor her school fees. She was a good student who took full advantage of the opportunity provided for her. She graduated two years ago at the age of twenty-four and while waiting to apply for a scholarship to university, she took a job as housemaid at a small bed & breakfast establishment and continued to study and upgrade her credits for university. This year she was admitted into the University of Swaziland and began a course towards a degree in Business Studies. Her younger sister, Nokubonga, is now attending Peak Central High School and is as determined to succeed as Nokuthula.” “Many students from similar circumstances have achieved their goals thanks to the generosity of the people of Hampton. Perhaps we have a right to claim a little credit for the successes but the responsibility for each student’s success or failure - after we have provided an opportunity – is ultimately in their own hands.” Our tagline is “help, hope, and opportunity”. The Partnership provides Swazi youth with the opportunity to succeed by providing you with the opportunity to help. For $300 you can sponsor a student through our Starfish Program. To do so, please visit our website: hamptonpiggspeak.ca and look for the DonateNow button. Or just contact me, Mark Bettle, at [email protected] or 832-0003. 0010

nokuthula tSela

Over the next month or so, the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership committee will be evaluating Swazi students as candidates for sponsorship for the upcoming school year, starting in January. We would love to pay for every student who needs the $300-500 required for school fees, but unfortunately our resources are limited. So we evaluate and rank the potential students on a number of criteria. Sometimes it is evidence of overwhelming determination and perseverance that convinces us to pay a student’s fees. One

FRESH WITH FOOD by dave wolpin

I’LL HAVE MY GREENS YEAR ROUND, THANK YOU

and brassicas (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc). While, remnants of the harvest season persist, root vegetables and storage crops are abundant and imported produce becomes the norm. There are also many underrated crops that are becoming trendy, like

celeriac, beets and Brussels Sprouts. Celeriac is my favourite. It resembles a turnip, but bears a mild celery flavour. It can be used in soups and stews, but I like Celeriac best cut into sticks and roasted with EVOO, Himalayan salt, fresh cracked pepper and loads of fresh chopped thyme. However, perhaps the most ignored foods of this part of the season are the fantastic autumn greens that are still full of life, even in these temperatures. For the home gardeners, it is easy to build a small hoop house to enjoy greens well into the darkest days of the year. At Dave's Produce Packs, we have large hoop houses, but you can easily build a mini version that fits in your backyard garden. Admittedly, many of the greens at Dave's Produce Packs have been damaged by the cold beyond what is commercially viable, but for the home gardener, they are still perfect for a meal-time salad. With a little hoop-house you can protect your kale plants well into January and protect August sown greens like spinach, mizuna, arugula, mustard greens, tatsoi and so many other greens, well into the darkest days, even if it gets covered in snow. Even more, you can leave crops like carrots, daikon and parsnips in the ground to be harvested through the winter or even in the spring. When spring comes, add some compost and start sowing seeds all over again weeks before anyone else. Like anything it takes maintenance and care, but eating from your garden year-round is something everyone with access to a piece of dirt could be doing. 0039

PARENT’S ROLE IN CHILDHOOD STRESS

Although we would like to think that childhood should be stress free many of us know otherwise. Children, like adults, will encounter different stressful events. Those with the skills to manage stress are less likely to suffer from stress’s negative consequences. Although temperament and environment influence how children respond and cope with stress, parents play a critical role in the understanding and management of it from a very early age. Signs of Stress in Children. Each child has a different threshold for stress and that threshold can change depending on the situation. In any case, there are some several signs of childhood stress parents should watch out for. Kids who experience stress (either episodic or chronic) may have difficulties with: participating in social/leisure activities by withdrawing or avoiding; self-care

and carrying out daily routines; fatigue and/or concentration; learning and speaking up in class, and; sleep. Worry, restlessness, fatigue, irritability and muscle tension are also common side effects of stress in children. Identifying the Causes of Stress. By recognizing the impacts of stress on their children, parents can work with them to identify the cause(s) of their stress. It is important for parents to remember that although their child may not want to participate in soccer, it might not be soccer itself that is causing the child to feel stress. Parents should explore the causes of stress through safe and supportive communication and develop a plan to deal with it. Some situations may even require clever detective work. Stress Helpers. At home there are number of ‘stress help’ approaches parents can use. Firstly, it is important to listen. Allow children to openly share their nerve-racking experiences and how it makes them feel. Encourage

relaxation, positive self-talk, journaling, participation in leisure activities the child enjoys and family time to promote healthy stress management. Class presentations, changes in school schedules and exams are only a few of the stressful events that can impact children’s ability to function. What some children find stressful might not seem stressful to their parents or even to other children, but it’s real to them. Helping kids understand that stress is a normal and a part of life is a valuable first step in teaching children about stress. Children improve their ability to handle stress when they feel they were successful in managing previous hair raising situations and when they have the support of their families. 0006

FROM MEMPHIS TO VEGAS AND NOW

SAINT JOHN

Most of us have traditions we do every year around the Christmas Holidays. One of my most vivid memories I have of my youth was playing Elvis Presley’s “Elvis Christmas album”. Yes that was the title, pretty catchy eh? Evan all these years later that feeling of putting on that record and singing along with the “King” has left an indelible mark on me. I still play that record every time the festive season blows into town. Now I’m introducing my kids to this special family tradition. A couple days ago I had a chat with the globally renowned Elvis impersonator Thane Dunn who in my estimation is probably the closest thing to seeing and hearing anything as real as Elvis himself. Thane leaves no detail unturned and brings you on a musical ride you will never forget.

“Hey Jeff! We will be in Saint John doing our first ever Elvis Christmas and Gospel show Dec 4” Thane tells me when asking when the holiday tour kicks off. In discussing my early memories of Elvis’ music around the holiday’s and how he was able to perform Rock N’ Roll material as well as gospel. Thane expanded on the subject. “Elvis has become such an intrical part of Christmas. A man that could sing “Blue Suede Shoes” which was considered raunchy at the time and then break into a song like, “'How Great Thou Art” and pull that off and carry that. So many other entertainers wish they could pull that off, but probably couldn’t”. Altogether on stage along with the choir (Wow!), Thane’s band will number an astounding 25 musicians and singers! “There is going to be a lot of soul on the stage” Thane says with a laugh. “It’s going to make the show over the top. With the crowd singing along to (ie: Silent Night) it’s going to feel like one big Christmas Carolling.”

“With this show, we’re hitting three different bases, Elvis’ Christmas songs, his Gospel works and I’ve also added some of his worldwide hits. So fans will still hear those songs intermingled throughout the show.” It’s going to be a stellar evening and a great way to kick off your holiday season, if you haven’t already. The show entitled” Thane’s Ultimate Elvis Christmas show” features his eight piece band, The Cadillac Kings, along with the UFC Gospel choir. It all happens on Thursday, Dec 4 at the beautiful Imperial Theatre! Thane has a lot of cool things on the horizon including a Christmas radio show. For ticket info and more go to: ThaneDunn.ca. What are you waiting for? Get your tickets now! I’ll see you there baby! 0041 Jeff Liberty

WORRYING OR PLANNING?

By early afternoon of every Thursday we are transmitting our files to our printer to print our two community magazines that are to be delivered by the post office the following Tuesday. But. . . that would be mighty hard to do if our power should be out. We have never missed a press day, and I certainly do not want this to be the first. So this morning everyone shifted into super-overdrive. We all picked up the pace and pitched in to do things that are not normally on our plates to do. The goal, to send at least one (and hopefully both) of the publications to the printer this afternoon, 24 hours earlier than normal. We did it once before when a postal strike threatened. We are doing our darndest to make it happen again. We could have just worked along,

following our normal timelines and routines, and worried about the storm. And maybe we would have been fine. But we prefer to plan instead of worry. Now I need to get back to work! “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.” ~ Dalai Lama XIV. 0002

I am writing this as we are under a Winter Storm Warning here in the Hampton area (Hazardous winter conditions are expected. Significant amounts of snow are expected.) and there is a Snowfall Warning for the Saint John area. This is Wednesday, the snow is coming tonight, heavy wet snow. . . probably some power outages. At home, we have a woodstove and Michael wired in the generator over the summer. We will have a source of heat, a stove to cook on and water to flush the toilet. Add to that, yesterday was my grocery shopping day, so the cupboards are well stocked. We are as prepared as we can be for a power outage. The situation we face at work is a little different. Thursdays are our normal press day.
