NewsSt. Stephen to seek new CAOKathy Bockus

ST. STEPHEN

Derek O’Brien, the chief administrative officer for the Town of St. Stephen, will begin a new job with the Anglophone South School District at the end of July.

Wednesday morning, Zoe Watson, superinten-dent of ASD-South, confirmed O’Brien will become the director of schools for St. Stephen Education Centre upon the retirement of Jenny MacDougall.

“He has been on leave for two-and-a-half years from the ASD-S Director of Curriculum and Instruc-tion role,” said Watson.

Mayor Allan MacEachern said he is “very sorry” to see O’Brien go.

“It will be a tough position to fill.”

The mayor said the town will immediately begin a search for O’Brien’s replacement, noting two oth-er Charlotte County communities – St. George and Blacks Harbour – are also seeking new CAOs.

O’Brien said the opportunity came up for him to accept a new position within ASD-South, and noted the new job will require less travel. He said there will be a transition period between the jobs, while he continues to complete several projects he is working on for the town.

“I have truly enjoyed my time with the town,” said O’Brien. “I like the work, I like the direction the town is going in, and all the great things that are happening in the town of St. Stephen.

“I plan to stay involved in my community, be-cause my community means a lot to me.”

Exhibit will feature photos of St. GeorgeSAINT ANDREWS

A photographic exhibition featuring St. George will open at the Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre July 7 and continue to July 29.

The work of documentary photographer Susan Lapides directly relates to St. George, the local envi-ronment and the history of fishing industries.

Her photographs focus on people, culture, and places. A fine art photographer with a strong back-ground in editorial photography, Lapides has ex-hibited her work widely throughout New England, including solo exhibits at Fidelity Investments (Bos-ton), and the Griffin Photography Museum (Boston), and in New Brunswick.

Her fine art work is held in corporations and private collections throughout the U.S., Canada and Paris.

Her editorial images have appeared in Life, Smith-sonian and many othernational periodicals. Lapides graduated from Tufts University and the Museum of Fine Arts School. She resides in Boston and in New Brunswick

She says of St. George, “St. George is a fishing town of 2,800 people and not a single traffic light.

It is situated on the Bay of Fundy in the Canadian province of New Brunswick.

“The magnificent bay is known for the highest tides on earth, frigid waters, and dramatic skies. The short maritime summers with long evenings are cherished as a time for gathering around bonfires as they have been for generations.

“St. George’s economy is based on its thriving farm raised salmon industry. To give you a sense of the scale, Cooke Aquaculture annually sells more than 160 million pounds of Atlantic salmon.

“Because the traditional catch of herring or cod have diminished, independent fishermen now meet the demands of expanding global markets by scuba diving for sea urchins, harvesting periwinkles and seaweed, and hauling in lobsters.

“Being a photographer and new to the Bay of Fundy, I documented our family adventures in this landscape. As friends and neighbors shared anec-dotes about their home, I recognized it was in flux, and decided to create a more enduring document to speak to the collective memory of the people and the industries of St. George and New Brunswick.”

The annual sand sculpture contest at New River Beach will be happen-ing when a lot of other events are taking place across the province this year – on Canada Day – with a rain date of July 2.

Festival still searching for help with paradeST. STEPHEN

The International Homecoming Festival is still seeking indi-viduals or an organization to help with the annual parade.

Kim Ste Marie, chair of the Canadian organizing committee, said the festival is looking for a group willing to line up the parade entries Aug. 12 prior to the celebration which will wind its way through St. Stephen, and across the Ferry Point Bridge into Calais, Me.

She said members of the St. Stephen-Milltown Kiwanis Club will again walk the route and marshal the parade. “We’re really grateful for that,” she stated.

Anyone wishing to offer assistance with the parade is asked to contact Ste Marie at 467-6195.

Remembering Eloie Richard - the man and the musicBarb Rayner

OAK HAVEN

Eloie Richard’s musical career, which was undeniably on the rise this year, was tragically cut short when he died Monday, as a result of surgery complications at Saint John Regional Hospital, at the age of 44.

He had been a special guest with Russell de Carle, formerly of Prairie Oyster, earlier this month at the Garcelon Civic Center, and had a number of perfor-mances lined up for this summer, including at the Area 506 Festival, and Cavendish Beach in PEI. He had also been on the bill with Blue Rodeo, who are coming to the Garcelon Civic Center in August.

In a February interview with the Courier, Richard, who lived in Oak Bay, and drove a plow truck for the province’s Department of Transportation, spoke of how excited he was about his musical career when his first single “Middle of the Night” was the number two download on CD Baby and he was also competing in CBC’s “Searchlight” competition.

“CD Baby is a big music distributor – one of the world’s largest - and it was kind of cool to have my name in that group of people. I was the only Canadian independent artist on that list,” he said at the time.

Richard, who grew up between Blacks Harbour and St. Stephen, comes from a very musical family and was the youngest of the 10 children of Frank and Sadie Richard. His father died last spring and he has eight surviving siblings who all play and sing.

He didn’t start taking his music seriously until he was in his late teens but his brothers always played in bands while his older sisters would sing and play, so there were often jam sessions or kitchen parties.

When one of his brothers called him to say they were planning to start a family band, Richard, who played guitar and bass, said he practiced day and night.

The family band, Thicker Than Water, went on to play showcases at the ECMAs as well

as the CCMAs. Over the years he was in a few different bands as well as doing a lot of solo acoustic performanc-es. He also rarely refused a request to play at a benefit.

His dream was to be a full time musician – making a living doing what he loved to do - but he said he didn’t have his head in the clouds and carried on buying lottery tickets. He said if it was meant to be, it would be.

“Middle of the Night” was written by Richard, and his nephew Shawn Richard and he had recorded more songs for a CD which is due out this summer.

When he played at bigger venues Richard played with the band, One Night Stand, which was formed in 2009 and included a sister and her husband as well as a cousin.

The video of “Middle of the Night” features Richard’s son Cody and his girlfriend Meagan Cheney which was filmed in St. Stephen and received a lot of views on You-Tube. Richard said he was overwhelmed by all the support he received from the people of Charlotte County.

He is survived by his wife Lori (Baxter), his mother, his children; Rob Baxter (Maryann), Cody Richard (Meagan Cheney), Rebecca Richard (Dave Estey), granddaughter, Ruthanne Baxter, brothers and sisters; Dot Gullison (Ron), Sadie Richard, Art Richard (Gail), Frank Jr. Richard (Barb), Shirley Blanchard (Clifford), Yvonne Lloyd (Rick) and Deb LaPointe (Ed).

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Ste-phen’s Roman Catholic Church, Milltown Blvd., Friday, at 11 a.m. Visiting hours will be held at The S. O. Mehan & Son Funeral Home Thursday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

For those who wish, donations to a living memorial for the family, Charlotte County Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of one’s choice would be appreciated by the family. A Go Fund Me account has been set up in Richard’s name, to help his family with “immediate and urgent expenses that his wife and family are unable to accommodate.” For those who wish to donate, visit gofundme.com/team-eloie-richard.

The loss of a legend – mourning Bill Casey Sr.Kate Scott

ST. STEPHEN

Joseph William Casey, also known as Bill Casey Sr., died at the Charlotte County Hospital Wednesday, at the age of 91.

Casey was a longtime horseshoe pitcher enthusiast – he was a St. Stephen Horseshoe Pitchers Club (SSHPC) Hall of Fame member, in addition to being named a lifetime honorary member of Horseshoe NB.

“We lost a legend [Wednesday],” Jason Ride-out, SSHPC club president wrote in a Facebook post.

“Bill loved to pitch horseshoes and always had a smile on his face. …Bill found success at the pits, but with all these accolades, he will be remembered for the kind, and fun loving person he was.

“Bill was legendary in local horseshoes, with being known for pitching in the dark on St. Da-vid Ridge at his home, and for the past several winters, pitching outside all winter long, with one year building a horseshoe stadium with the high snow banks,” the post read.

“Bill, most of all, was our friend, and we will miss him.”

In the winter of 2015, deemed as “snow-mageddon” by some, a reporter from this news paper caught up with Casey as he pitched horse-shoes outside his residence at Chipman Apart-ments.

The horseshoe pits had been plowed out, and with the snow banks stretching to the

sky, ambiguous of where the piles ended and the overcast sky began, Casey happily pitched horseshoes in the cold for more than an hour and a half.

Through the sound of the horseshoe hitting the ringer, which seemed amplified by the fro-zen ground, Casey, with his hood drawn tight over a black, fur topped hat, said he had been throwing horseshoes from around the age of 30, and joked he quite literally, took the shoes off the horse to pitch “just as something to do.”

Casey was also an avid accordion player, who was due to be inducted to the N.B. Country Mu-sic Hall of Fame in an event slated for Oct. 14.

At the age of eight, Casey was self taught on the harmonica, and his mother Amelia Casey (Martin) inspired him to play the accordion.

Since purchasing his first accordion, second-hand in Basswood Ridge at the age of 20, he entertained at kitchen parties, weddings, and dances.

Casey is survived by three daughters, Patricia MacKay (Richard), Theresa Casey, Susan Hogge (Daniel), two sons; William Casey (Wanda), and Dean Casey, and eight grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, and two brothers.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at the Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church, Union Street, St. Stephen, N.B. on Friday, June 23 at 3 p.m.

Family will receive friends at The S. O. Mehan & Son Funeral Home Ltd., 23 Main Street, St. Ste-phen, N.B. on Thursday evening from 7 to 9 p.m.

I don’t remember which navy I was in when I first heard the term “silly buggers”, but the meaning was clear.

It included some sensible exercises like “man overboard” drills, but the heart and soul of the game was high-speed manoeuvres by ships traveling in close company. These some-times got quite exciting, because ships don’t have brakes.

Off the coast of Lebanon, in 140 metres of water, is the wreck of the British battleship HMS Victoria, which sank in 1893.

It is the world’s only verti-cal wreck, because its bow is plunged deep in the mud but its stern is only 70 metres below the service – “like a tombstone,” said one of the divers who found it in 2004. And it was “silly bug-gers” that did for it.

The British Mediterranean fleet was travelling in two paral-lel lines when Admiral Tryon de-cided to reverse course – and to make it interesting he ordered the lead ships of each line to make the turn inwards, towards the other line.

In theory the two lines of ships should have ended up travelling in the opposite direc-tion, but much closer together.

Unfortunately, they were already too close, and they couldn’t turn tightly enough to avoid hitting each other.

The lead battleship of the other line rammed HMS Victo-ria and all 10,400 tonnes of her sank within a few minutes, car-rying the admiral and 357 other officers and men down with her.

That’s the sort of thing that happens when you play “silly buggers” and get it wrong.

It’s silly enough when every-body is on the same side. When two different countries start playing “silly buggers” it gets even more dangerous, and that’s

where we are right now. On Monday, over the Baltic

Sea, a Russian fighter plane flew within one and a half metres of an American reconaissance air-craft’s wingtip.

US officials protested, saying it was “unsafe” and criticising the Russian pilot’s “high rate of closure speed and poor control of the aircraft.”

Had the Russian pilot been ordered to get that close? Prob-ably not. Did he intend to scare the Americans? Almost certain-ly, yes.

He probably did misjudge the distance – it’s not worth dy-ing to make your point – but he would have known that he was off the leash.

American reconnaissance flights targeting Russia are per-fectly legal so long as they stay over international waters, but they have become much more frequent over both the Baltic and the Black Seas.

That is clearly yanking the Russians’ chain, and they duly get worked up about it. More importantly, the Russian pilot would have known what is going on over Syria.

The game over eastern Syria has gone beyond mere “silly buggers”.

It’s more like “chicken” now, with the Russians and the Amer-icans pushing each other to see how far they can go. But it’s the Americans who are actually shooting, though they haven’t

killed any Russians yet.Early this month, the US shot

down a Russian-made Syrian government drone near the al-Tanf border crossing, between Syria and Iraq.

Then on Sunday an American F/A-18 shot down a Syrian air force fighter-bomber near the Islamic State’s besieged capital of Raqqa.

The Russians responded by saying that they would track any Western aircraft operating west of the Euphrates River as poten-tial targets.

At one level, what’s driving all this is the fact that Islamic State is going under, and the var-ious players are racing to gain control of the parts of eastern Syria that were or still are con-trolled by the group.

US forces are part of that race, and are getting increas-ingly reckless about how they compete.

At a higher level, this is the result of President Donald Trump’s decision to commit the United States and its forces to the Sunni side in the Sunni-Shia confrontation that links all the local wars together.

That defines not only the Syrian government but also its Iranian and Russian supporters as America’s enemies, and the American forces in the region are just responding to that shift.

There is still no clear Ameri-can vision for the future of the Middle East, let alone a serious strategy for accomplishing it. But meanwhile the games-play-ing continues and intensifies, and it’s only a matter of time be-fore some Russian or American gets killed by the other side.

Silly Buggers

As the countdown is on to the NAFTA renegotiations – scheduled for July - our PM’s need to seemingly respond with nothing other than rhetoric when questioned about go-forward plans for the renegotiation is nothing short of frustrating. In the House of Commons in Ottawa last week, Foreign Affairs Minister, Chrystia Freeland, did pose the di-rect query to Trudeau, who, responded in typical politicaleese, which is to say he didn’t really respond at all.

Rightly, not wanting to throw all of Canada’s cards on the table, it seemed that Freeland was more looking to ascertain that the PM would go into the talks with a firm stance, and Canada’s true best interests at heart, and have no plans to acquiesce to the POTUS, whose rally cry is a solitary ‘America First’ policy.

Freeland last week announced a $867 million aid package to soften the blow of new U.S. duties on exports to the Canadian softwood lum-ber industry, and should the new deal not address issues like the soft-wood one, industries in Canada in general, and New Brunswick specifi-cally could be hard hit.

NAFTA is now a more than 20 year-old agreement, and yes, it’s al-ways good to pull these documents out, dust them off, and test their parameters as we face ever changing global and North American econo-mies, but it has been made clear (publicly) by Trump that the new deal will favour American industry, and American industry only.

Not surprisingly, rumblings of Trumps inner circle being on ev-erything but the same page regarding the renegotiations are rolling around. Couple that with Trumps incessant ramblings about his wall, and slamming current Canada-U.S. trade deals surrounding dairy and lumber, and Freeland’s desire to push Trudeau to clarify his game-plan is understandable.

The impact of new trade regulations could impact New Brunswick to a major degree. Consider lumber, dairy, blueberries, and seafood alone, and it’s fair to say there will be several local industries keeping a close eye on how the new deal pans out.

Higher tariffs and duties on exports means a hit to local businesses, who rely on their U.S. exports as large percentages of their bottom lines.

Our only real hope is team Trudeau is prepping a hard core, Canada first style approach, and is ready to remind the U.S. of their depen-dency on Canadian and Mexican products. Or that he allows Freeland to do it for him

Inaugural junior lifeguard program welcomes large numbersKate Scott

ST. STEPHEN

A new program hosted at the Garce-lon Civic Center – the Junior Lifeguard Club – has been deemed a success, with 36 students taking part in the inaugural program.

Kari Kluke is the Aquatic and Fitness Coordinator at the civic center, and ex-plained the program was brought to life after the realization of the shortage of lifeguards.

“I moved here newly into the posi-tion, and we noticed that we were lack-ing in staff, and especially staff that we could easily grab the next couple of years.”

“It’s just an opportunity to provide lifesaving and first aid skills for them to work on and

for them to develop even some of their physical fitness, and we’ve tried to incorporate fun ways for them to engage in it.”

~ Kari Kluke, Garcelon Civic Center Aquatic and Fitness CoordinatorThe program is geared toward those aged 12 and up. After the program was created,

Kluke said she posted a poster on Facebook, which received a positive response, and “re-ally took off.”

The Junior Lifeguard Club program is essentially the Bronze Cross Medallion Star levels, Kluke explained, but the student participants are grouped based on their skill and age.

“We teach them based on the level they’re at, and giving them the opportunity to earn the certifications, as well as learning first aid and life saving skills.”

Four lifeguards at the civic center instruct the program – Kluke, Sara Urdang, Sam Backman, and Carrie Thibideau.

The program includes 20 hours of lifesaving, and first aid skills train-ing, Bronze Star, Medallion, and Cross level training, fitness training, and swim technique correction, and the opportu-nity to earn a Bronze level certification based on age and skill.

“It’s just an opportunity to provide lifesaving and first aid skills for them to work on, and for them to develop even some of their physical fitness, and we’ve tried to incorporate fun ways for them to engage in it,” Kluke said.

The program, which began on May 15, took place from Monday to Wednes-day, for a two-hour period each class, and concluded last week after a final exam.

“It was quick right before summer, because I think a lot of them are tak-ing it to try and work here this summer. Which is nice, it’s what we need,” Kluke said, noting the number of staff re-quired in the summer months increases because of the W.T. Booth Centennial

Pool in Milltown. “We’ve kind of hit a level where we don’t have many lifeguards – we have a lot that

want to work; we just have so many hours to cover, so it gets difficult at times when it’s a holiday, or grad week, etc.”

Kluke said she was pleased with the 36 students who enrolled in the program. “It’s fun to see in the progression - everyone has improved significantly since day one,

so it’s nice to see that.”The junior lifeguard program will hit the pause button throughout the summer

months, but Kluke said the plan is to resume the program in the fall. Those who are interested in participating in the Junior Lifeguard Club can get in touch with Kluke by calling 467-3047.

“We have such a great facility and we need to be able to staff it, but as well, we have the outdoor pool so it provides a lot of employment opportunities for students and university and college students,” Kluke said.

“We even have some daytime positions, so it’s nice to see that there is interest in the community because we have these two great pools and we need them to want to work here.”

More people than ever are aware that certain behaviors can be detrimental to environmental health. You may understand the basics about overflowing landfills, waste washing up on beaches or global climate change, but you may not be aware of the specifics regarding these issues and others. The following are some enlightening facts about the environment, courtesy of EarthEcho International and Solar Energy World.

1. Recycling one aluminum can can save enough energy to run a TV for three hours.

2. Around 25,000 trees are cut down each day just to produce toilet paper.

3. Approximately five million tons of oil produced in the world each year ends up in the ocean.

4. Seventy-eight percent of marine mammals are threatened by accidental deaths, such as getting caught in fishing nets.

5. A glass bottle can take 4,000 years to decompose.

6. Rainforests are being cut down at a rate of 100 acres per minute.

7. The United States is the No. 1 trash-producing country in the world.

8. Ford Motor Company has said that 75 percent of every vehicle is recyclable.

9. If the entire world lived like the average Canadian, we’d need five planets to provide enough resources.

9 interesting facts about the environment

How everyday people can cut energy consumption Part of the difficulty with regard to reducing energy consumption is that energy plays such a big role in our lives. Smartphones and tablets have become must-have items, and these items, though not necessarily big consumers of energy, must be plugged in and charged. But individuals won’t have to unplug from their lives to reduce their energy consumption. In fact, there are several easy, non-invasive ways for everyday people to reduce their energy consumption.

· Start with your windows. The windows in a home can help homeowners and apartment dwell-ers reduce their heating and cooling costs. On cold days, pull back curtains so the natural sunlight can come in and warm the house, reducing the need to turn up the temperature on the thermostat. When the weather outside is especially warm, hang blackout curtains to prevent the hot sun from warming rooms and increasing the need for air conditioning. In addition, address any leaks around windows to ensure hot and cold air is not escaping and contributing to excessive energy consumption.

· Maintain appliances and replace older ones. While reducing reliance on energy-thirsty appli-ances is a great way to reduce energy consumption, no one needs to throw away their refrigerators. Instead, maintain appliances so they are not forced to work harder, and thereby consume more energy, to function. Routinely clean the filters on window air conditioners, replacing them if they’re worn

down. In addition, have HVAC units serviced annually to ensure they’re operating at peak capac-ity. Replace older appliances, including refrigerators, that are no longer effective.

· Install a low-flow shower head. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install low-flow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially impor-tant for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in less than 20 seconds, install a low-flow shower head.

· Install ceiling fans. Ceiling fans can be installed to reduce energy consumption in both summer and winter. In summer, ceiling fans can make home interiors more comfortable by circulating air around a room. That circulation can make rooms feel cooler, providing the same benefit of an air conditioner while consuming considerably less energy. In winter, reverse the rotation of ceiling fans so they circulate warm air and reduce reliance on heating systems.

Reducing energy consumption does not require substantial sacrifice, but it can produce substan-tial savings and benefit the planet in myriad ways.

Page 10 Friday, June 23, 2017 COURIER WEEKENDREFLECTING THE REGION

I started a new job in April 2016 and met a man who works in an-other department on the opposite side of our building. In August we started dating.

In December I learned he had been seeing a woman who sat on the other side of his cubicle. He said they were not in a relation-ship, just hanging out, which means they were being intimate. He broke it off with her at the end of July 2016.

She was upset and didn’t come to work for a week. He told me he doesn’t have anything to do with her anymore. She approached me a couple of times to assure me she didn’t want anything awk-ward between us. I told her there wouldn’t be because what they had happened before me.

But I keep hearing office gos-sip that this woman is still feeling hurt. She and my boyfriend even got into an argument at work. It didn’t get loud, but she was written up. Eventually, they even moved her desk.

I overheard this woman in the bathroom talking to her mother on the phone. It upset me. She said he treated her “like a whore” and didn’t consider her feelings. The gossip I am hearing is that he lied to her about why they were breaking up.

Fast forward. He proposed and I said yes. She left him two vulgar, ugly voicemails saying he wasn’t a man, was a liar and was disrespectful. She said he spent

the night with me in my home though I have a 7-year-old daugh-ter, but wouldn’t spend the night in her home because of her grown 21-year-old daughter who wasn’t even there.

I heard this woman talk about us and how fake his feelings are because we have pictures of us up at work, but not of our chil-dren. “Who puts up pictures of someone you see every day?” she stated.

He keeps reassuring me she is just jealous and he didn’t choose her. I’m confused. Should I be concerned how he treated this woman?

Felicia

Felicia, you’re confused be-cause this woman told you she doesn’t want things to be awk-ward, but then proceeded to make things awkward for everyone.

She’s been reprimanded and moved at work. Your fiancé has not. Might she be misleading her mom to save face? Do you think every overheard conversation is an accident? Why don’t you

consider that much of this gos-sip is staged, right from her own mouth?

She thinks this man does not have the right to decide she is not the woman for him. What man wouldn’t lie when breaking up with a woman who he knows will take it badly?

For the flimsiest of reasons, your fiancé wouldn’t go to her house, but she went to him as if she was delivering pizza. That’s the difference between you two.

What’s the proof? He has a picture of you in his cubicle but didn’t have a picture of her. Why should he have a picture of your child? You have not yet become a family through marriage. It’s sim-ply her jealousy showing.

Just because she is unhappy with him, it does not give her any rights. He wasn’t engaged to her but he is with you, not secretly, but aboveboard and openly. If you love him and care for him, don’t listen to gossip. Put her out of your mind and move forward.

A line in a play by Shakespeare says, “Confusion now hath made his masterpiece.” This woman’s masterpiece is your confusion. Having lost him, her happiness lies in your misery.

About us: The Charlotte County SPCA is a small, mainly volunteer based non-profit organization. Our mandate is to find homes for aban-doned and stray animals in Charlotte County. We receive no govern-ment funding and run solely on donations, fundraising and the gener-ous support of the community.Meet the cats and dogs: The Charlotte County Animal Shelter is lo-cated at 112 Prince William St. in St. Stephen. The shelter is open Mon-day to Friday from 1-5 PM. $160 for dogs 6 months and over and $200 for puppies younger than 6 months., cats/kittens for $100. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, follow up vet visit and more!

You ever notice how sometimes you think perhaps you have heard of everything, and then something does come along you’ve never even dreamed existed? Well, this just happened to me. I was traipsing around in a strange city recently, and noticed a sign that read, “Dog Lounge.” Yep, curiosity killed the cat, and I was suspect, but there was no way possible that I could let this one go by without getting some details.

It seems that it’s not a bar where you take your dog to hang out with other pooches, but rath-er a day care sort of thing for ca-nines. It’s open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and leaving Rover there for a day will set you back a cool $45.00 U.S. It’s been a while since I shelled out any day care dough, but I thought this was a little steep and it’s not even for your kids. Oh yeah, they don’t want dogs that are aggres-sive, or out looking for some ro-mance, as they will send them packing. I’m filing this under the “W” for “Who knew?”

I often marvel (a word not used enough) at how the foods we eat and drink every day evolved, and wonder how they happened. For instance, what kind of a per-son would look at a coffee plant and think, “Gee, I should pick the beans off that thing, roast them, and heat up some water, and make myself a drink? Then may-be I will add sugar and cream to

make it smoother.” I also wonder how many either

died, got loaded, or higher than a kite experimenting with differ-ent foods and drinks, so that we could enjoy them all today. There was probably conversations like, “I don’t know what happened to Gerry last night. We were just sit-ting there watching the fire burn and he kept pounding that old stinky grape juice to him until he went down for the count. I heard his woman saying he was doing a lot of whining this morning about a headache.”

I know I couldn’t possibly come up with stuff like this, but the kinds of minds who did are still amongst us today. Take for instance, the person who came up with the idea of how much time we can save by just typing, “k” instead of “ok”, or even “okay.” These are the types of wizards in our world today that people way off in the future will marvel, and admire.

I hate to admit it, but I was

recently guilty of stereotyping people, but it actually turned out to be a good thing. I was in the airport in Toronto, and noticed a small pack of gray-haired dudes sporting long hair, that immedi-ately set off “Rocker” alarm bells inside my head. My suspicions turned out to be warranted as in the middle of these guys was none other than Canadian rock and roll legend Tom Cochrane.

Even though hockey season is over, I still got his attention and gave him a big fist pump. After he took a slight detour, I went up to him again and talked briefly about his tunes, his tour, and whether he was coming to our neck of the woods. It’s weird that we (includ-ing me), tend to think that these people are somehow different than the rest of us, and not ap-proachable, but this guy came off as advertised.

I found him to be a genuinely cool and friendly guy who knows how he got to be where he is, and how he can do what he does for a living. After snapping some pic-tures he was on his way, and prob-ably now is realizing he missed out getting his picture taken with a media legend with his own cam-era. Life isn’t a bowl of cherries or a box of chocolates after all. It’s a highway, and of course, if you’ve studied Tom Cochrane 101, you would have already known that. It is also short so smile while you still have some teeth.

Edited from the Courier WeekendWeek of Friday,June 22, 2007

COPA Flight 129 with the St. Croix Valley Flying Club held a Young Eagles Day on June 10 in conjunction with their annual Fa-ther’s Day fly-in breakfast, held a day early this year.

Young Eagles and their par-ents started arriving at 7:50 a.m. and Tim Foulkes took off with the first one, Dawson Anderson, at 8:20 a.m. in his Piper Tomahawk, C-GSJF.

Tim made 12 flights which included nine Young Eagles and two parents, plus a flight with Mel Turner, safety officer and regis-trar, after the event.

Mike Smith also flew Young Eagles steadily with four flights in his Cessna 172, C-FDCO, and one flight in the club’s Cessna 172, C-FXOL. Jamie McKinley and Pat Fitzgerald were the other pilots of C-FXOL, and between them all they flew 24 Young Eagles plus a few parents.

Two other pilots, Peter Con-boy and Frank Godsoe, were also on hand to help.

On Thursday, June 14, the “Grade 5 Farewell” was held at Lawrence Station Elementary School for the nine students who will be leaving this year. They were: Michael Brown, Tyler Scott, Zack Seeley, Daniel Davidson, Ma-lika Drake, Sidney MacIvor, Eliza-beth Beach, Jessica Grant, Aaron Densmore.

The group of St. Stephen High School students couldn’t wait to get into the Border Area Arena for their Grand March on Tuesday. Dressed in their finest clothes, the graduates and their dates walked through a castle to be announced to family and friends. The theme of the Grand March was “Once Upon a Time”, and many of the ladies looked as pretty as prin-cesses while their escorts led them through the castle gates to the waiting crowd.

20 YEARS AGO – 1997

Heroes save truckerDIGDEGUASH

Two men who rescued a truck driver after he jumped from his burning vehicle into the waters below the Digdeguash Bridge are being recommended for bravery awards.

St. Andrews Fire Chief Bob Brown and St. George Fire Chief Leonard Lee have recommended bravery citations for Daryl Mof-fatt of Barter Settlement and Bob McFarlane, formerly of St. George and currently living in Bangor.

It was around 2:45 a.m. Friday, May 30, when the tractor trailer driven by James Wilkinson of Mc-Adam hit the bridge and burst into flames. To escape the flames, he jumped off the bridge, landing in the neck-deep water almost 30 metres (100 feet) below.

Moffatt, who delivers the Tele-graph-Journal to St. Stephen, was on his return journey when he saw the transport up against the guardrail of the bridge and what looked like a fire in the middle of the road.

“I didn’t see him hit the bridge but I think the accident had just happened. When I got closer I realized that the vehicle was on fire so I called the RCMP on my car phone. They wanted to know if there was anyone inside so I parked about 300 yards away and ran up towards the truck,” Mof-fatt said.

When he was about nine me-tres (30 feet) away, Moffatt said the truck blew up. It was then that he saw a set of headlights on the other side of the bridge and McFarlane came running to-wards him. Moffatt said at first he thought the other man was the truck driver but McFarlane said he had been behind the truck.

“He tried to pull me away from the truck and said there was noth-ing we could do. I said the RCMP wanted to know if there was any-one inside. I ran back to my truck and called the RCMP and said I

was not sure if there was some-one in there or not because there was so much fire,” Moffatt said.

It was then that he noticed the passenger door on the truck was open over the guardrail so he thought there could have been two people in the vehicle. He and McFarlane then went over to the guardrail with a flashlight.

“We started hollering and about 30 seconds later we heard a man moan like someone try-ing to holler but they couldn’t. We scanned the area and we saw some white which was Jimmy’s shirt,” Moffatt said.

McFarlane then jumped over the guardrail and headed down the bank while Moffatt ranback to tell the RCMP they had found someone in the gorge and were going down after him. The two men found Wilkinson in the water and, realizing he was badly hurt, decided the best thing to do was to keep him afloat until help ar-rived.

30 YEARS AGO – 1987

Canada Post’s woes strike Charlotte CountyST. STEPHEN

Following the lead of mailmen across the country, Local 279 of the Letter Carriers Union of Canada here set up information pickets in front of the post office Thursday afternoon.

This marks the first time that carriers in St. Stephen have ever walked off the job to support their union.

The picketers are telling the public that it is not money that they are after, but their jobs.

Canada Post apparently wants to eliminate as many as 2,700 of the approximately 20,000 carrier positions in the country in order to trim their huge operating defi-cit.

Village to close old jailBLACKS HARBOUR

The three jail cells located in town hall here, built in 1940, will no longer be a “haven of rest” for local offenders.

Town council voted unani-mously at their regular monthly meeting Wednesday evening to close the lock-up permanently, ef-fective immediately.

CHAMBERLAIN, Blaine

At the Saint John Region-al Hospital, Saint John, NB on Sunday, June 17, 2017, Walter Blaine Chamberlain, husband of Jane (MacKinnon) Chamberlain of Chamcook, NB, passed sur-rounded by his family. Born in St. Stephen, NB, he was predeceased by his parents, Rowena and Wal-ter Chamberlain; and stepfather, Ralph Wilson.

Blaine served as proud mem-ber of the RCMP for almost 36 years, and was stationed in New-foundland, Ontario and New Brunswick. During his retirement, Blaine served as Treasurer of the New Brunswick RCMP Veter-ans Association, President of the FSNA South Western NB Branch and was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Passamaquoddy Branch #8. He served as an elder at Greenock Presbyterian Church; where he loved to help the ladies organize the Summer Sale and sell his homemade jam. Blaine was known in the community for always being there to lend a

strong back and a helping hand.Dearly loved by Jane, his wife

of 55 years, and his children: daughter, Heather Wilson (Ron) of Somerset, NS; sons, Wayne (Cindy) and Scott (Janice), all of Ottawa, ON; by his eight grand-children, Katie, Blaine Jr, Jaden, Shea, William, Ross, Simon, Jack; three great-grandchildren, Char-lie, Benjamin and Ellie. Also by brother, Harry ‘BB’ (Sharon) of St. Andrews, NB; sister, Betty Hoyt of Quispamsis, NB, as well as several nieces, and nephews.

Blaine loved his family, and

always found ways to show it. Fresh cut flowers, chocolates on a pillow, a good meal and jam for everyone. He was always there to make sure you were safe; teasing, tormenting and loving. He taught us all, that the little things are what matter most.

At Blaine’s request there will be no visitation. A memorial ser-vice in celebration of his life will be held on Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at 2 p.m., at Greenock Pres-byterian Church, St. Andrews, NB where Rev. Cheryl MacFadyen will officiate. A reception will imme-diately follow in the church hall. A private family interment will take place at a later time in St. An-drews Rural Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of the donors’ choice would be appreciated by the fam-ily. Online condolences to the family or donations can be made at www.humphreysfh.com

Arrangements have been en-trusted to the care and direction of Humphreys Funeral Home, 20 Marks Street, St. Stephen, NB E3L 2B2 (506 - 466 -3110).

Flashback

Author, Dan Simmons; pub-lished by Little, Brown; 550 pages.

Reeling from nearly total eco-nomic, political, and moral col-lapse, the U.S. some twenty years from now is a shadow of its for-mer self. But 85 per cent of the population doesn’t care - they’re addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to re-experience the best moments of their lives. Nick Bottom is addicted too, but he is still a good cop. And when a top governmental advisor hires him to look into the five year old

murder of his son, the investiga-tion turned up more than Nick bargained for. Soon Nick becomes the one man who can change the course of a nation turning away from tomorrow to live in the past.

Savage Lands

Author, Clare Clark; published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 403 pages.

In 1704 France, Elizabeth finds herself among twenty-three girls who set sail for the new col-ony of Louisiana, to be married to strangers. Although she has little hope for happiness in her life, she finds herself in love with her new husband, Jean Claude, a charismatic, and ruthlessly ambi-tious soldier. But betrayal is as much a part of the new world as the old, and when Elizabeth finds herself deceived by her husband, she also finds herself bound to a poor cabin boy in a way she never anticipated.

9th Girl

Author, Tami Hoag; published by Dutton; 405 pages.

On a frigid New Years’ Eve in Minneapolis, a young woman’s brutalized body falls from the trunk of a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Questions as to whether she was alive or dead

when she hit the icy pavement result in her macabre nickname - Zombie Doe. Unidentifiable, she is the ninth nameless victim of the year, and homicide detec-tives Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska are charged with the task of not only finding out who Zombie Doe is but why was she killed. Their greatest fear is that that she might be the ninth victim of a vi-cious, transient, serial killer.

Three Souls

Author, Janie Chang; published by Harper Collins; 434pages.

China, 1935 - a country frac-tured by civil war, and social change. The ghost of a young woman named Leiyin watches her own funeral, wandering why she has been denied entry into the af-terlife. She is joined by her stern scholarly yang soul, her romantic yin soul, and her wise hun soul. Together they must discover how she can leave this earth. They travel back in time as Leiyin ex-periences exile, an unwanted marriage, betrayal, and the ter-rible consequences of an act of revenge. The ghost of Leiyin must now make amends to gain en-trance to the afterlife.
