UPDATES

For those living in a cave... a federal election campaign is on!! Unfortunately it will also be one of the longest campaigns in over a hundred years. Oh... GOODY!! Despite the fact that democratic elections are truly important, most pundits are suggesting that we just focus on enjoying the rest of our summer and start to tune in to the election somewhere after Labour Day. Mikie says, “I second that emotion”. Other... simply thrilling news is... “Windows 10 is now available!! Remain calm”. If you are currently using Windows 7 or 8, you can safely keep using them for another 5 plus years and still receive all security updates. If you are currently very happy, relax and do nothing!! If you have noticed, Windows 9 has never arrived. Microsoft has decided that they want people to feel that Win 10 is much different from Win 8. Having purchased a new used computer, I have just downloaded and installed Windows 10 to test it out. For everyone using Win 7 or newer the upgrade is free and for me... trouble free. Be aware, however, if your system has lots of older or unusual software or hardware, the more likely you are to experience problems. Mikie says, “Just like the election, let Windows 10 simmer for a while.” The free upgrade from Windows 7 or 8 is good for at least one year. Mikie will try and highlight anything

about Windows 10 that seems really interesting in a future Ravings. I know!! You are wondering!! Why in heck is Mikie still writing or whatever he calls it?? Well, let’s see. Selling a business is considerably more complicated than finally parting with your 1942 DeSoto!! Anytime that you have to involve bankers and lawyers... well... life just starts to get complicated. On the other hand, it is probably fair to reasonably assure new owners that the property was not a former toxic waste dump. Equally important though, is that we need to spend enough time (likely months) with the new owners to ensure that they are fully familiar with virtually all aspects of the business. So patience please, it won’t be forever that you are stuck with me and the “ole missus”, but it will be for a while yet. 0001

Summer heat, humidity and air conditioning can cause problems with hearing aids. Moisture collects in tubing, corrosion forms on contact points and ears may produce more wax. Hearing aid users report that their hearing aids “act up” whenever there is excessive humidity. Daily checking and cleaning by you is a must. You can control moisture in several ways. Wipe off the aids and the battery and blot the moisture from behind and/or inside your ear. Don’t keep hearing aids in the steamy bathroom. Use an inexpensive Hearing Aid Dehumidifi er every night. Or you can make your own hearing aid dehumidifi er by placing some grains of rice in an airtight container. Remove your battery and place the hearing aid inside the container. The rice will absorb any moisture from the hearing aids.

GETTING READY FOR THE 5 - MILER

Just about four weeks until the Hampton Five Miler on the Sunday morning after Labour Day weekend. Jog or run in a great event that is regarded by the running community as one of the very best - in terms of enjoyment and quality for participants of all ages and ability - in Atlantic Canada. The 5-Miler is both a very competitive event, with runners trying to set course and even national age group running records, and it is also a very fun, recreational event for people who aren’t interested in competing - except perhaps against themselves! If this year’s Five Miler will be your first, then your time on September 13 will be your PB (personal best), and your goal for 2016 might be to walk,

jog, or run the course faster than your 2015 time. Or perhaps, like the

writer of this article, you’re getting really old and will be happy just to complete the course and make your grandchildren proud! The 5-Miler is a family

event, and there are runs for younger

people, too, on 5-Miler morning. Google “Hampton River Runners” to find out more about the Kids’ Kilometre (ages 12 years

& under) and the Three-for-Me 3K (16 & under). There’s an excellent map of the 5-Miler course on the Hampton River Runner website as well. Keep moving… use it or lose it. 0034

HAMPTON CHAMBERHACC UPDATE

The Hampton Area Chamber Board of Directors is enjoying a brief summer break, following a busy spring season of activities. The Annual General Meeting, held at the Hampton Legion Hall on May 7 prepared the way for the coming year with the election of officers and the presentation of annual reports. The Board has met twice since the AGM, and has set up committees for the coming year. On June 19 the 7th Annual HACC Golf Tournament took place at the Hampton Golf Club, and went off without a hitch, thanks to the hard work of the organizing committee and Sheryl Moore, who led the volunteers to a successful event once again. Presentation of the Frederick R. Dearborn Memorial Bursary was made at the Hampton High School Graduation Ceremonies. Hampton Chamber President, Carley Parish, presented the award to this year’s winner, Erin Bethune.

The Board will meet on September 14 to put the wheels in motion for a busy autumn season which will include plans for the Annual Small Business event and a Meet the Candidates night, for the upcoming election. Although summer may not be officially over, the annual Santa Claus Parade will also be a topic of conversation. Your local Chamber of Commerce works to serve the business community through networking opportunities and encourages cooperation between its members. It also strives to improve the quality of life of residents in our unique community. HACC provides a united voice on issues of mutual concern and a platform where concerns may be heard. If you are not presently a member, we encourage you to consider joining HACC and direct you to our website at; hamptonareachamber.com to learn more. 3612

ATTENTION HAMPTON RESIDENTS

We would like to give you a chance to “Salute a Veteran”. This is an opportunity to honour a “past” or “present” member of the Canadian Armed Forces or RCMP who have lived or are living in Hampton. Double sided banners (48”x24”) will be hung on Aliant poles throughout Hampton. The vinyl banners will be printed with an image of the Veteran, supplied by the sponsor. We need to have people interested in buying these banners; the more interested, the less of a payment. We cannot quote a price until we know how many would like to take part in this tribute. The “sponsor” or “family” will own these banners, as well as the bracket. We are requesting that the banners remain with us to store when not in use; however the families may request them at any time. There will be a form to fill out and payment due. We would like to have all requests no later than August 17. This will ensure that banners will be up for the Remembrance Day 2015 period. For more info contact Lyla McCrea 832-7979 or Bill Campbell 832-2594. 3592

SLIDES, SWINGS AND TEETER-TOTTERS

Summer is for playgrounds. The sand, bars, climbers, teeter-totters, blocks, swings, slides, tunnels, bridges, merry-go-rounds and mazes do much more than enhance creativity. Playgrounds of all kinds provide wonderful unstructured opportunities for exploration using all of our children’s senses. Playgrounds give children a chance to incorporate colors, sizes, sounds and texture to the benefit of their development. Under careful supervision and with the help of standard playground rules, parents should encourage the multiple uses for each piece of equipment. Using playgrounds to their fullest potential during free-range play has innumerable benefits for children. Eight fundamental playground benefits can help children’s physical, social and cognitive development as well as integrate their senses. Benefit 1 – Improves Leg Strength. Climbing, jumping and teeter-totter use

are all excellent ways to get the leg muscles firing. For example, when kids climb up a slide they must use their hamstrings to walk their way up. Benefit 2 - Upper Body Strength and Coordination. Alternating arms improves reciprocal movements such as when using the horizontal hanging ladder. Benefit 3 - Core Activation and Balance. Climbing up the slide, balancing on a beam or jumping from block to block works the muscles of the core. Core strength is vital when completing different activities during the day, including desk work and fine motor tasks. Benefit 4 - Risk Taking. Children learn how to use their bodies and interact with the physical environment by experimenting and taking risks. The playground is a perfect place for risk taking where children can be empowered and build confidence in safe and appropriate ways. Benefit 5 - Taking Turns. Figuring out who goes up or down a slide first is a great opportunity for negotiation, social interaction and language development.

Benefit 6 – Proprioceptive Input. The sensation of heavy work provided when using the merry-go-around or playground lever improves body awareness. Benefit 7 – Vestibular Training. Inverting oneself on a swing or hanging upside down on the monkey bars challenges a child’s vestibular system by using gravity, speed and changes in direction in playful ways. A child must also learn to orientate once back on two feet. Benefit 8 – Motor Planning. Figuring out how to turn around and come back down from the top of the monkey bars is a great motor planning activity. Alongside your children, this week explore creative and new ways to use your local playground equipment and enjoy the parenting journey. 0006

AbigAil godreAu AndMAtthew nutter

Abigail Godreau, 15, of Nauwigewauk, and Matthew Nutter, 17, of Kingston, have just returned from The War Amps 2015 Atlantic Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Fredericton, which brought together young amputees from across the Atlantic provinces. This year marks the 40th Anniversary of CHAMP, which has provided generations of child amputees with financial assistance for artificial limbs, regional seminars and peer support. Abigail was born a right arm amputee, and Matthew is a double leg amputee. They attended the three-day seminar with their parents, where they learned about the latest developments in artificial limbs, and parenting an amputee child. Matthew was also a Junior Counsellor at the Seminar, acting as a role model and offering advice to the younger Champs. CHAMP is funded through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1-800-250-3030 or visit: waramps.ca. 3610

LISTEN INMARDI GRAS FOR MINDCARE

Ok, picture this! You’re in the beautiful historic Uptown Saint John on Prince William Street where the Bourbon Quarter Restaurant is; only it’s all been transformed into a genuine New Orleans vibe complete with the sounds and smell of Mardi Gras. You still with me? Good! It’s actually going to happen! Hopefully Mother Nature will bring us the weather to complement the festivities. Otherwise it will happen in the Bourbon Quarter itself. As a mental health advocate and speaker myself, I am one of the organizers (volunteers!) for this family friendly exciting community event that is free to the public. After all everyone loves a good street party, right! It takes a community to work together to make anything a success and the other organizers Craig Allen and the BQ’s Shawn Verner have really made this all come to fruition along with the MindCare, Horizon folks and some

caring community minded sponsors. This will be a rare opportunity to see the 7-piece New Orleans band Sweet Crude perform in the port city as part

of this unique signature event in support of MindCare. “Sweet Crude band members Jonathan Arceneaux, Sam Craft, Jack Craft,

LISTEN INStephen MacDonald, Alexis Marceaux, Skyler Stroup and Marion Tortorich hail from southern Louisiana and will be making a special stop in Saint John as part of their Canadian tour this summer.” Along with the hot sounds of New Orleans, DJ Hawk aka Michael Hawkins will be spinning his particular brand of “supa-funk “ as Hawk refers to it on his FB page. There will also be plenty of magic and family friendly activities. The street will truly be alive! “Traditional New Orleans foods like gumbo and oysters will be available for purchase from Bourbon Quarter restaurant.

Q. Can I have savings if I file for bankruptcy?

A. Building up savings during the period of a bankruptcy is encouraged. Bankrupts do not have overdrafts and line of credits to pay for emergencies and so must live on a cash basis.

Building up cash reserves and savings is important to relieve financial related stress and deal with unexpected expenses. It also is part of the road to recovery.

The Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act does have provisions that deal with a debtor’s income. These provisions are called “surplus income” and state that if a debtor has the ability to pay something to their creditors, then they should. It is not a fine or penalty.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Fear not, little people, for I have great news. Your long days of boredom, too much sun and sleep-ins are almost over. Let's flash those pearly whites and say it together now – BACK TO SCHOOL! Yes, that's right. In a few short weeks, our wallets will be empty and our precious little bundles of joy will be packing up their book bags and heading off to a whole new world of structured learning – many for the very first time. With a daughter entering Grade 10 and twin step-sons off to Grade 11, I feel like a bit of an old pro at this back to school business. There are no tears (at least not from me), and aside from the dreaded lunch making ritual, it's really a joyful time. It's also nice to get back into a routine, no matter how hectic. For parents of first time students, however, it can be a bit stressful. You'll likely question yourselves about whether you've done everything you

can to prepare your child for his or her first real taste of independence. The fact is that you can't be there to do everything for them, but you can teach them how to do things for themselves. Something as simple as being able to go to the bathroom by themselves (bum wiping included), builds their confidence and allows teachers to focus on the fun of learning. To that end, I asked my teacher friends for any advice they might have for parents who are new to the school experience. Here are a just a few great tips to think about and use. Don't send shoes with laces if they can't tie. Have your child practice opening lunch containers, zipping zippers and buttoning buttons. Always keep extra socks and mittens in your child's book bag, and make sure they are dressed for the weather. Having your child pack their book bag at night avoids chaos in the morning. Send oranges already peeled or cut up. Practice holding a pencil, printing

their name and using scissors. Make sure your child knows your names (not just Mom and Dad), phone number, bus number and the area where they live. Teach them to blow their own nose (all teachers will thank you for that). Have school supplies ready for use on the first day and try to do homework right away (before electronics/play). Most importantly, let your child know that you and their teacher are a team who both want the best for them. “It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings” - Ann Landers. 0032

Th ere are two kinds of people in this world: those that care about bullying and those who should care about

bullying, because it aff ects all of us. Maybe some of you out there are saying, I was never bullied, it doesn’t aff ect me. It does. I don’t remember being bullied that much during my school years, either. Perhaps, I was just so average that there was nothing to pick on me about, or possibly it’s because Caleb is a hard name to create a silly rhyme with or turn into a childish nickname and eight year olds aren’t that clever. Whichever way it was, I got by without too much trouble, but I have friends that didn’t have it so easy, and it seems that their whole life was coloured by those early years when someone hated them for no reason. It’s easy to think that kids will grow up and

forget about it, or that it’ll toughen them up. Th e voice of their bullies’ jeers come at them from the back of their minds, for what could be decades. To them, bullying wasn’t just a skinned knee on the pavement, it

was more like a broken leg from being pushed on the swings. And

sometimes, things don’t heal up quite the same way they were. Th at aff ects all of us. Th e kid who grows up to be an adult with no self-

confi dence is one less adult living a full life. Perhaps they would have made an excellent diplomat, if they

only had the courage to join the debate club and start down that path. Every bullied kid who never takes that fi rst big step puts us all one step backwards. It’s easy to say that it’s the bully’s fault

308 Route 124, Norton, NB(506) 839-2442www.hallbrosenterprises.com


and be done with it. And the lion’s share of the blame

does lie with the bully, but I think there’s a little bit left for

anyone who ever saw someone being bullied and could have helped but didn’t. Especially when it’s two children. A child bully may know it’s wrong to bully, but they also know that it might get laughs from the other kids, and to a kid, that feeling of acceptance can be a big reward. Until the risk of getting caught outweighs the reward of being a bully, the bullying is likely to continue. If we only lived in a world where anyone who saw someone being bullied stepped in and did something, how long would it take to wipe out bullying? Th e thinking that bullying is just one of those things is old and outdated. Th ere are some warning signs to watch for if you think your kid might be a classroom bully. It can be hard to accept that your child might be a bully, but if you know what to look for you might be able to get ahead of the problem and stop it before it gains momentum. If you’re having trouble deciding if your child is a bully, than try to decide if you think their friends seem like bullies to you. Th e cliche, birds of a feather fl ock together, might just hold true in these situations, and evaluating your child’s friends might give you the room you need to be objective. Bullies, oft en have low self esteem, and can become obsessed with popularity at school. Th e drive to be with the right crowd can lead them to bully others who they see as being diff erent or “weird” to gain acceptance and popularity. Kids who are being bullied also suff er from low self esteem, but instead of being violent and angry, these kids seem sad and depressed, frequently wanting to be alone. Bullied children will oft en suff er from headaches and stomach aches, and will try to feign an illness to stay home from school. Th ese days though, bullying isn’t just in the classroom. If you noticed a marked changed in your child’s behaviour aft er using the computer or telephone, they may be a victim of cyberbullying. Cyberbullying happens when someone stalks someone else on the internet, or calls them at home, and berates them, either publicly or privately. Th is type of verbal abuse can be harder to detect as it doesn’t leave any bumps or bruises, but it’s just as damaging. Who knows what each child is capable of if we only set them free on the world without a bag of stones to carry. Caleb Burns

GARDEN CENTRE SALES

This is the time of year when the ‘tail enders’ are on sale at many of the garden centres and the temptations are numerous, however care needs to be taken before giving in to the lure of these bargains. If the plant you are deciding upon is seriously pot bound (seemingly popping out of its container), it might be more trouble than it’s worth, yet with sufficient care and constant watering many of these sale items can be nursed back into worthwhile plants. The first thing to do is to remove them from the pot and let them soak up water in a shaded corner until the jumbled roots can be teased out of their pot like form; a hole twice as wide as the pot they were living in and somewhat deeper needs to be prepared with a good supply of compost and either well rotted manure or a few tablespoons of bone or blood meal placed in the bottom, there should be enough of the compost that the plant, when placed in the hole, will be at the same level in the new location as it was in the pot; the roots will, with any luck and constant watering, reach out into the new earth to form a good enough root system to withstand the on-coming winter. Even though we have had many overcast days in the past weeks, most locations are desperately in need of rain and weeding has become hard work, akin to digging into concrete, however, there’s a lot of jobs that can be done that don’t require hard labour; keeping the ground under fruiting trees, shrubs and vegetables clear of fallen leaves etc. goes a long way toward discouraging pests to take up residence and the browning leaves of Iris and lilies are ritzy homes for earwig, slugs and the like. Cutting out portions of bushes that show diseased twigs or those that rub together in the wind is a very good practice for preventing damage and most trees/bushes need to be examined for new shoots, that if allowed to grow will not only sap the strength but eventually block out the light and air that are essential for the health of the plant. Clematis suffer greatly during dry weather and although the foliage and flowers prosper in the sun, they will quickly perish if their feet are not kept cool, so, extra compost and

generous watering are essential if the plant is to thrive. Conifers often present unsightly browning during summer and seriously affected branches might well benefit from removal, some are afflicted with spider mites and assorted insects and these can often be dislodged by using a forceful garden hose, they hopefully will be flushed down to ground level and

their shocked and stupefied state will make tasty dining for the birds. A good preventive method against browning is to give good spacing between trees.... Blessings! 0038

HAMPTON-PIGGS PEAK NEWS

Make sure to mark Saturday, August 22 on your calendar as the date for the 7th Annual Concert by the Creek in Blair Boudreau’s backyard at 37 St. Andrew’s Street in Hampton. The event brings together a unique cross-section of amazing talent in a distinctive outdoor setting. This year’s performers include Magnus Labillois with Sophie and Chris Armstrong; Derek Doucet; "The Not So Dandylions” (Paige Stevenson, Bailey Dalton and McKinley Leonard-Scott); Hannah Cummings and Jake Freeze; Emily Petley; Clayton Holteen; Andrew Conrad; Chris Walton; Byrann Gowan; Doug Farrell and more! The doors open at 5:00pm. Admission is free although this is a Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership fundraiser so freewill donations are accepted. Karen Mandy shares the following thoughts from Piggs Peak: “Music has the ability to unite people in a unique way, across all barriers - gender, economic, ethnic and even location.” Karen continues. “Pastoring a local church in Piggs Peak, with 2/3 of our congregation under the age of 25, has

meant that I have had a close connection to a number of young people over the past ten years. Being a teenager brings struggles enough, but being a teenager in this part of the world brings troubles beyond what most of us should ever endure. With Swaziland having the dubious title of highest HIV/AIDS prevalence in the world, many of these youngsters face the death of loved ones on a regular basis. Most have only one parent and often, no parents, from a young age. Education is no luxury to these children - it is a ticket out of the poverty and suffering that they have been thrown into; but with a high

school education costing, on average, at least three year’s earnings, it becomes an insurmountable mountain for many of them to climb alone.” “The funds that come to Piggs Peak from Hampton are without doubt, an answer to many prayers. Helping to provide an education to these children is giving back hope into a hopeless situation. It is giving these young people the glimpse of a future that life has ripped from them. I feel extremely blessed to witness first hand, the difference that can be made when a small group of people, on the other side of the world, join hands and commit themselves to something bigger than themselves. It is a rare and beautiful testimony to the human spirit.” “From all of us here in Piggs Peak, thank you for your love, your support and your commitment to helping us give back a future to this generation of young Swazis. Siyabonga kakhulu (thank you very much).” On August 22, please come out and show your support. For more information, contact me, Mark Bettle, at 832-0003 or [email protected]. 0010

ASK THE CHEF

Colin SiftonOwner/Chef, Holly’s Restaurant

THE CHILL ON BERRIES

Colin Sifton here again from Holly’s Restaurant and Catering with another answer to your question. This week we were talking about the best way to freeze berries. Berries are something New Brunswick has a lot of but such a small season for each. It would be great to have fresh local berries all year round but that is not possible. So what is the next best thing? Well frozen berries would be but it is not the same. By freezing berries, we change the structure of the berry and once they thaw, they become flat and a lot of the water comes out of them. So what can we do to fix this? Well nothing but we can try a few things to improve them. The worst thing to do when freezing berries is to just throw them in a bag, tie it tight and freeze. This will give you a big ball of berries and the only thing you can do is make a pie, jam or

sauce with it. What I do is a long process but works much better. I take my berries and I lay them out on a baking sheet so that they are not touching each other. I freeze them as quickly as possible. Once they are frozen, I immediately place them in a bag and back into the freezer they go. This way each berry keeps its shape and does not leak as much water. If you only need part of the bag, this method will allow you to remove some and not all. The integrity of the berry weakens and appears to be more like a bruised berry. This will happen no matter what but you can now use these berries in cereal, on a parfait, in your yogurt and even top a dessert with it. Another trick you can do is when you are placing your frozen berries into the bag is to give them a dusting of sugar. Only thing to remember with this is that you have already added some sugar and you would need to know the application which you will

be using for these berries. This allows the berries to come apart more easily. You can also use a blast freezer. This will freeze your berries in a matter of minutes, but is an improvement over the previous method because the integrity of the berry isn’t as effected. Now you can always just go and buy a half pint of American or Mexican berries at the store all year round, which have been gas ripened, and lacking in any berry flavour, for $5.99 or take some time and preserve as much local berries as possible, so you can enjoy them all year long. 0040

BLUEBERRY-SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE

1 - 226 gram (8 oz) pkg cream cheese1 ½ - cups butter3 - cups white sugar6 - large eggs3 - cups all-purpose flour1 - tsp vanilla extract1 - tsp lemon extract1 - cup frozen blueberries (can add more)

Method: Cream together the cream cheese, butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each egg. Add the flour, one-cup at a time, beating well after each cup. Add vanilla and lemon extracts; beat well. Fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into a greased and floured tube or Bundt pan. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes, and then turn the temperature down to 325F and bake for another 55 minutes. Test the cake, and bake a little longer if needed, esp if more blueberries were added.

BLUEBERRIESBlueberries belong to a well-travelled family, going back a long way in time and place. Blueberries grow in many places around the world. Cousins of our native North American blueberries live in Asia, Europe and South America, from the tropics to the land of the Eskimos. But our blueberries did not travel from far-away places to get here. They are not escapees from early Colonial gardens. Nor are they immigrants whose seed came over on the Mayflower.

Blueberries were here when the first wave of settlers arrived in what was to become America. Some had known a similar berry in Scotland, the blaeberry. Blaeberry jam, the story goes, was invented in the court of James V, who became King of Scots in 1513. His French wife brought her own cooks when she arrived at the castle in Scotland. They harvested the local wild blaeberries and in typical inventive French gourmet fashion, devised a delicacy which still delights Scottish palates. English immigrants related the New World blueberry to their whortleberries:

the Danes, to bilberries; the Swedes to their blåbär. People from northern Germany recognized their bickberren; those from southern Germany, blauberren. Later arrivals from Europe, such as the Russians, also had a frame of reference for these berries whose blue reflected the promising blue skies of the New World. The first commerical venture involved canning Wild Blueberries for the military and today, with new methods of preserving and processing blueberries, and their recent elevation to “super food” status, the world’s appetite for blueberries is growing.

TIPS & TRICKSPut blueberries in a zip lock baggy with some flour and shake them so they don’t sink in the batter.At the store, choose blueberries that are firm, deeply colored, and uniform in size.Blueberries stay fresh up to five days.To freeze, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Then put them in a plastic bag or other container. They should last in the freezer until blueberry season next year.


GET FISHING

Joe TilleyFisherman at Large

TIME TO GET FISHING

The summer is passing us by quickly and if you haven’t had a chance, or an excuse to get out fishing yet, then I have a great one for you! Coming up on Saturday, August 22 is the Hammond River Classic Fishing Derby. This paddling event, is a non-competitive, fun day geared towards anyone and everyone willing to paddle around the Hammond River and cast a rod. From amateurs to pros, kids to adults, this tournament is for everyone! The Hammond River Classic is put on to help encourage people to try out the sport of kayak and canoe fishing in an environment that offers a ton of support. It also educates people about the diversity of fish in our rivers and raises money for the Hammond River Angling Association. If you need help during the day, just ask others for advice. Unlike competitive events, we encourage everyone to help each other

to make everyone’s day as enjoyable as possible! The derby is a multi-species, catch-photo-release format. That means your goal is to catch as many different kinds of fish as you can. You catch a species, take its picture showing a token you receive in the morning, and let the fish go. Then you move on to another species. The size of the fish only comes into play on whatever your biggest fish of the day is, for that fish you are encouraged to use a measuring device so show its length. That size is used then as a tiebreaker. Five small, but different types of fish will place you higher than 20 big fish of two or three different species. We have collected a lot of great prizes (still looking for more!) to give away at the end of the day, hopefully enough so that everyone will walk home with something they can be happy with. We lay out all the prizes and let first place pick their prize, then second… and so on. The key here, is that we do

not front load the prizes so that only the top few get all the good stuff. There is a youth division, intended for kids aged 10 to 16, though younger kids have the option of competing in this division, or fishing for free with a parent. The grand prize, an Old Town Predator XL kayak worth $2000, is going to be given away to one random participant! We are still seeking local companies who would like to help and donate a prize. To donate, ask questions, or anything else feel free to contact me at 847-4809, email at [email protected], or check out our website where you can register online at: nbfishingderbies.com.

SO THE ELECTION IS ON

Big surprise, right? And right now we are all in summer, kick-back and relax mode with politics about as far on the back burner as it can get. Not to worry, you will have plenty of time come September to give your head a shake and tune in to the issues. I do not consider myself a “political” person. I have no party affiliation and over my lifetime I have voted for a variety candidates from a variety of parties, both federally and provincially. But I have always voted. It amazes me that so many people do not vote, seeming to think their one vote won’t matter. Over the last five federal elections since 2000 the average voter turnout has been in the area of 62% (Elections Canada website). That means out of 10 of your family, friends and neighbours, four did not

vote. That is a HUGE number, and yes your one vote, when combined with all those other missing votes, could make a HUGE difference. So don’t cut short your summer mode, summer is over way too soon anyway. But please do take some time during those 6 weeks before the election (which is more than enough time) to listen to what the different parties are planning for the country. Give a little thought to what is important to you. Got an opinion on the Senate? Who is going to do something about it? Is the environment important to you? What party comes closest to your point of view? Perhaps you dislike the whole system and would like a chance to vote for the prime minister separate from the local candidate. Who is looking at parliamentary reform? What I really dislike though are the so called “attack ads”. I am not interested in why someone feels their opponent is the wrong choice. What I want to

know is what they are planning to do for our country that would make them the right choice. Because whoever we elect (and it is us who make that choice) we can expect to have for 4 years, so it would be wise for us each to make an effort to decide what is important to us and our families and our communities and take a few minutes to vote. See you at the polls. “Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” ~ Abraham Lincoln. 0002
