RAVINGS
By Mike Hickey
I CANT HEAR YOU
First of all, thanks to The Jet for stepping in and helping out with the last Ravings. Except that his head swelled three sizes and the additional demands for a kibble increase, he is taking his new fame all in stride. For the past couple of weeks I have had a wax blockage in my right ear. So I checked the Internet for a reliable method of cleaning it, without suffering permanent hearing loss. The suggested method was using mineral oil to soften and eventually get rid of the wax. After several days of treatment, the right ear seemed a bit better but the left ear (which I didnt treat) seemed to suffer from hearing loss. While I discovered that there were significant benefits to having impaired hearing ... such as no longer having to pretend to ignore the Missus ... it has also been an annoying experience, as there is occasionally, a person that I actually want to listen to. Hating to impose on the health care system, I finally broke down and visited the doctor. Unfortunately, the wax was so impacted that she wanted me to use the mineral oil for another week to soften everything up so it could be blasted out. I will very shortly be going back and hopefully before I finish this Ravings, my hearing will be fully restored. Assuming that my hearing does return to normal, I need to find a way to have the doctor sign a note indicating that my hearing has, however, suffered a permanent change. I wont be able to hear any sounds in the lower range. The lower range is defined as sounds that come from someone five foot tall or shorter. Hearing will work perfectly for all higher ranges of sound. WOW, just got back from the doctors office and I CAN HEAR!!! Ooops, sorry dear ... What did you say?? Ahhh heaven!! Unfortunately, the doctor was unwilling to confirm the permanent loss of low range hearing, so I will have to continue to rely on the old stand-by selective hearing!! Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. - Stephen King. 800

The mission of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership is to reduce the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland. Our strategy to achieve our mission has three steps. The first step is to know and understand the situation in Swaziland. The second is to effectively convey that situation to the people of Hampton. The third is to provide the opportunity for people to help. Those of us who have been to Swaziland and seen the desperate poverty and pain caused by AIDS can not help but be moved to action. In my last article John Lovett told how he loses sleep worrying about those we are unable to help. The fact is, if you were there, you would lose sleep too. And you too would be compelled to help. But not everyone can go to Africa and see the impact of the scourge of AIDS. I have recently heard some people in North America go so far as to call HIV/AIDS a condition because advances in treatment have eased the symptoms and prolonged life expectancy. But, make no mistake, in Africa it is a plague that has created a living Hell for the very many who deal with its impact on a daily basis. So, through the stories from our colleagues living in Swaziland and from those of us who have been there, we hope to effectively convey the terrible situation parents dying, families without food, children begging to go to school. Two weeks ago I told the story of 14-year old Nonjabuliso Dlamini who came to John with tears in her eyes because she could not attend school. This story moved at least one man in Hampton to action. After reading the story, he called me and said he was going to drop off a jar of change he had been collecting. He just wanted to help. And through the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership he found the way to do so. Although it was only coins, the amount was quite significant. It seems our message is getting through and it is moving people to help. And I am more than happy to tell you that young Nonjabuliso is now attending school. Im not quite sure why but there is something very cool about receiving a bunch of coins that was being put away for who knows what. But I think the gentleman who donated it discovered what it was meant for; and through his kind act, he will bring a little bit of Heaven into an otherwise hellish environment. For more information or to make a donation, please visit our website hamptonpiggspeak.ca or call me, Mark Bettle, at 8320003. 110 World Day of Prayer will take place on Friday, March 2nd. The service was prepared by the people of Malaysia, and will take place at St. Pauls Anglican Church, Hampton at 2:00pm and at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Hammond River at 7:00pm.

Continued from February 7th Hampton Herald, page 20 (6) Harry Bayard Nobles was born at Hatfield Point November 28, 1883. By the age of 18 he was earning his living as a tailor; In that year, 1901, he earned $365. He lived at home with his parents and siblings at the time. Once source states he was forced by circumstances to be a tailor, but at heart he was a traveller, a vagabond, an adventurer. Perhaps this is an echo of his grandfathers (William) wandering spirit. Since he felt restricted in rural Hatfield Point, Harry went to Winnipeg where he found a partner to establish a tailor business. Harry is described as being a small man (not quite 5 6) with a powerful physique. He had dark brown hair, brown eyes and a ruddy complexion. These features, plus the fact that he was cheerful and enthusiastic, may have helped him win the heart of Flora Elizabeth Hussey. On January 1st, 1906, he, at the age of 23, married Flo three years his senior. Marriage kept Harry from wandering and two sons, Clarence Robert Nobles (born April 13, 1908 in Winnipeg) and Michael Earl/Earle Nobles (born January 1, 1911 in Vancouver), were born within five years of the marriage. Tailoring did not give enough money to raise the family, so by 1912 Harry arbitrarily decided to move the family west to Vancouver. The only employment he could find in the Pacific Coast city was as a tailor in a dry cleaning firm. Flo missed her family so they headed back to Winnipeg in 1915. Harry soon left the family, and Flo was left to raise the two boys. Harry headed south to the United States, and it was at this time he changed his surname (legally? For convenience?) from Nobles to Nolan and at the same time he dropped a year or two from his age on documents and conveniently left out the fact that he had children. From 1815-1917 he was a free man again. According to Harry, in stories he later related to his sons, he piloted a river boat, joined an Arctic expedition and Entered World War I by joining the American army. It has been proven that he served in the USA army in 1917-18, but the other stories have not been verified. After being released from the army, he came down with the Spanish Flu. The disease killed many millions worldwide, but Harry survived, it. His damaged lungs made it necessary for him to move to a dry climate; Arizona was his choice. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, as the saying goes, Flo was caring for the two children. As we will see in the next article, this strain was about to bring great change to their lives and forge another Kings County connection for the Nobles/Nolan family. 127

The Hurricanes advanced to the finals with a 32-0 win over the Capital Area Gladiators.

Alivia Estabrooks had a 63 yd run for a major and Kaitelynn Torrey plunged in from three yds out to take care of the other touchdown. Sarah Hope booted a two-point convert to round out the scoring. Lindsey Munro booted a single point for Fundy.

To a loving Wife, Mother & Grandmother, having three years go by does not make it any easier. There is not a moment that we don't think about the life that we had together, three years feels like a hundred years to us. You are in our hearts, minds and special times together. You're not really gone, you're still inside each and every one of us in a special way that will carry on in all of our generations; but you still left a space in our lives that can not be filled without you. Love you forever, Husband - Roland Miss You, Love You Marlene, Darlene, Austan, Wanda, Eddie.

Due to the generosity of Hampton Pharmasave, three Hampton area schools received 30 copies each of The Boy Who Was Bullied. The book tells the story of the life of John Peters Humphrey, drafter of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights one of the most important documents ever written. Local author, Anne Scott, made presentations to students at Hammond River Valley Elementary, Hampton Elementary and Hampton Middle Schools. Scott talked to the students about the process of writing a book, and related some of young John Humphreys adventures and challenges that influenced him to spend his adult life working for human rights around the world. Scott emphasized the importance of respecting the human rights of all others and challenged the students to be UPSTANDERS standing up to the bullies and supporting the victim. Trevor Moulton of Hampton Pharmasave was present at one of the school presentations and said, It is our great pleasure to donate copies of Anne Scotts book The Boy Who Was Bullied to local schools. Annes book is vitally important, as it carries for all people a powerful message, bound by neither time nor place. 128

Exercises for Seniors
Doctors recommend at least 30 minutes of daily exercise for most people. Exercise is beneficial for seniors because it keeps muscles from atrophying, improves mental alertness, strengthens bones, and leads to a healthier metabolism, among other things. For seniors who think they wont be able to handle traditional exercise, chair exercises or modified pilates can be effective, even for those with trouble walking or standing for extended periods of time. To get started, all one needs is some loose-fitting clothing and a chair. Begin by doing some stretching movements of the neck, arms and legs. Rotate the head left and right and in circles to stretch the neck and back muscles. Lift arms over the head and slowly drop down to the sides of the body to stretch arms and back muscles. Lift and lower the legs a few times to warm them up. To begin exercises, start slowly and gradually build up repetitions. Exercises to try include boxing or punching into the air, arm circles, and arm curls. For the legs, work the back and front of the legs. Kick the legs out in front of the body several times. Hold legs parallel to the floor (as much as possible) and do leg crosses. Put feet flat on the floor and lift up the heels. Keep feet on the floor and push down to work the buttocks and the top of the thighs. Vacancies Available Voted Best Care Home

Scores of people spend their working days dreaming of the moment they are eligible for retirement. But many people find that once they retire they do not know what to do to fill their time. Boredom actually may be a side effect of retirement, and some people actually want to go back to work. Much of the focus when planning for retirement concerns finances; all other factors take a backseat. Having a post-retirement plan in place can mean the difference between happiness and having a hard time adjusting, according to experts. Here are some tips that can help anyone ease into the golden years. Establish goals. Goals also motivate retirees to get up in the morning now that a commute to work isnt part of the daily schedule. Donate time or money. Giving back to others, whether to the community or to a charitable organization, can feel good and give retirees some structure. Try new things. Part of goal-setting is to add things to the list youve never done before, which can boost feelings of excitement. Realize its alright not to love retirement. It is OK to accept that maybe retirement isnt entirely what you expected and to make changes that can enable the experience to be better.

Whats next after retirement?

Yet another holiday has passed you know, the one of sappy love cards, chocolates, and hearts - Valentines Day. I must say I feel sorry for teachers in the school on this day as they are forced (with no escape, much to their desperate attempts) to watch all ADULT BADMINTON of the young love displayed, maybe some tears (hopefully not Adult Badminton will take place on Wednesday evenings at the in vain but joy) and the grads coming to the sad realization that Hampton High School, 8:30pm.

We're glad You asked!

Brock Reid
We plan for every aspect of life: going to college or university, our career path, getting married and having children, buying a home. We plan our vacations, and our retirement. We buy insurance for when the unthinkable happens: fires, accidents and floods. But, because most of us do not like to think about death - we avoid making important funeral decisions in advance. This is one of the biggest oversights made in a life well-lived. Such inattention can cost your loved ones money, time, and emotional strain. During our long-standing service to the community we've repeatedly seen the confusion and heartache that can occur when no plans have been made. Conversely, we've also seen the peace-of-mind brought by thoughtful end-of-life preparation not only for the one making the plans, but also for those who will be left behind. Of course, pre-planning is a thoughtful gesture. But, its also practical. And, if you choose to invest in a pre-payment plan, you not only protect against the higher costs tomorrow may bring, you also assure funds will be available when they're needed most. We would be honoured to assist you in creating the perfect pre-need solution for you.

Our lives go on without you, But nothing is the same, We can't hide our heartaches, When someone speaks your name. Sad are our hearts that loved you, Silently, the tears still fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all. The happy years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts, You will walk with us forever.

By Shannon Heans Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, I present to you, the Hampton Middle School band! We are a diverse group of students, with different personalities, strengths, likes and dislikes working together to improve our skills as musicians. Mr. Giberson, the band instructor, is the glue that keeps us all together! He has taken our common interest in music and elevated it to the next level. The awesome thing about that is we are having a wonderful experience at the same time. Currently, the band is working on two fantastic songs: the Silver Scepter and Suncatcher. I can already tell that the songs will be spectacular! Audiences will definitely be swept away by the sound of charming music and astonished by the fact that a beginners band can pull off such an incredible melody. The band practices every Monday and Wednesday after school, from 3:00-4:30pm. Everyone looks forward to practice even though its a Monday. Talking, making jokes, laughing and just generally having a marvellous time are all part of practice too. Making new friends is effortless to do in band. This is my first year in it and Ive already gotten to know so many new people, learned so much and Im waiting for more. I know that this is something Im going to pursue, even when I go to Hampton High School. Maybe you will too. What Im trying to say here is band is for everyone. To join, simply go see Mr. Giberson in the music room on your own time. Ask him about joining band and state the instrument you wish to play. He will give you a permission slip to show to your parents. Bring the slip back to him ASAP and you should be able to attend the next band practice. It doesnt matter who you are, or where you come from, new members are always welcome. Whether you consider yourself to be a class clown, a high achiever, a gamer, an artist or a born musician, band could be for you. So why not take a chance, get involved and join? Shannon Heans is a grade 8 student at HMS. 114

All Welcome

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. Ive been thinking, he said, I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone. Author Unknown CC12

Planning is well under way for the fourth Rotary Trivia Night to be held Saturday, March 24th at the Hampton Seniors Resource Centre. Posters are up around town and information is on the clubs website. For those unfamiliar with this event, teams composed of co-workers, friends or family members compete to win one of three prizes for their favourite charity. There is a registration fee of $200 which if the team consists of six members is less than $35 for an evening of fun, light refreshments and the potential to win the 1st prize of a $1000 donation from the Rotary Club of Hampton to your charity or a $500 donation if the team wins the 2nd place prize and a $250 donation if your team wins 3rd prize. At the end of the evening everyone wins because three charities will receive their donations and the club raises some additional money to put towards their projects ie. bike helmets for Grade 2 students, bursaries at the High School and the Food Basket. In past years, the team members have had an enjoyable evening of fun and the Rotary Club of Hampton has contributed a total of $5250 to charities, most of them local. There will also be a silent auction and a cash bar available. Contact Gary Rent at 832-9110 or any Rotarian you know. In other Rotary news, the Club is also preparing to order the bike helmets for this years distribution to the Grade 2 students in Hampton and those at Hammond River Elementary School. The Club recently decided to look after the presentation costs for Anne Scott to give presentations at two schools in the area where the students have not heard her talk on John Peters Humphrey and bullying. She will also be going to Norton Elementary School and Belleisle Elementary School. Speaking of schools, the Club would like to say thank you to the students, parents and teachers and administration of five elementary

schools for their wonderful help with our Purple Pinkies for Polio project. Starting in December, Rotarians went to the Norton Elementary School to make presentations to students about polio and Rotary Internationals efforts to eradicate polio from the last four endemic countries in the world India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. At the end of the presentation the children were invited to make a donation of $1 or $2 for polio eradication and in return, have one or two pinkies painted purple just like the children in those four countries have their fingers painted with a marker so that they can be identified as having received the vaccine. In January we did the presentation and purple pinkie finger painting at the Belleisle Elementary, Hampton Elementary and Dr. A.T. Leatherbarrow Schools and in early February we did the same process at Hammond River Valley Elementary School. In all, the students contributed in excess of $1200 to help eradicate polio through Rotary International. On behalf of the children who will benefit, we thank you. 108

Hon. Rob Moore, P.C, M.P. Since it is now tax time, I want to remind you of some of the ways you may be able to save on your 2011 taxes. Since 2006, our government has helped Canadians by reducing taxes in over 120 ways. These include: cuts to the GST, reductions in income taxes, the introduction of the landmark Tax-Free Savings Account and targeted tax cuts for families, seniors and job creators. We have helped a typical Canadian family save nearly $3,100 on average, per year. This year, I want you to get the most out of your 2011 tax return. In this article, you will find a list of some of the valuable tax credits that are available. Our government has introduced Pension Income Splitting, which allows any Canadian resident who receives qualifying pension income to allocate to their spouse up to one half of their income. We have also doubled the Pension Income Credit from $1000 to $2000. We have increased the Age Amount to help seniors keep more money to meet their retirement needs. Also, we are providing Canadians with the Caregiver Amount for Canadians that are caring for a loved one. This responsibility is both emotionally and financially difficult and under our government, a caregiver may be eligible to claim up to $4,282. Our government is providing many other tax credits including; the Canada Child Tax Credit that allows Canadian families to claim a tax credit of over $2000 per child, the Childrens Fitness Tax Credit, which allows parents to claim a tax credit on up to $500 and the Child Arts Tax Credit which allows parents to claim up to $500 as well. You may also be eligible to take advantage of the Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit which amounts to $3,000, or the Hiring Credit for Small Business that provides up to $1,000. We believe that Canadian families know how to best save, invest or spend their money; not government, which is why we will continue to promote an environment where Canadians keep more of their hard earned money. We will continue to support Canadian seniors, Canadian families and Canadian employers.

Thank you to Rothesay Police for dropping by and taking a donations jar to their station. Thank you to the wonderful lady, who remains anonymous, for the dinosaur quilt could have been added to the auction or given to Cole. Cole has the quilt and loves it. Special thank you to all who attended the auction on such a winters day!! This benefit would not have been a success if not for the hard work of Kathy Watson, Chelsey Watson, Nancy Watson, Carol Sleep, the many family members and friends who volunteered their time. Thanks to Scott Waddell the auctioneer. We are humbled and over-whelmed. Thank you everyone, Cole Sleep & family. 406

In loving memory of our Dad, Richard Dalling, who left us suddenly on February 18, 1996
What wed give if we could say, Hello, Dad, in the same old way; To hear your voice, and see your smile, To sit with you and chat a while. So if you who have a father, Cherish him with care, For youll never know the heartache, Till you see his vacant chair.

MUSINGS
By Debbie Hickey
A few weeks ago I realized the Hampton Herald is turning 30 in April. That led to the further realization that the Valley Viewer will be 20 in the fall. Although both magazines were already in place when Mike and I got involved in this venture, amazingly 12 of those years have been under our guidance. And to think it all started as a little retirement project for Helen and Bert Boyd. I have started to think about the possibility of my own retirement, as I am now closer to sixty than fifty (or even fiftyfive!), but I keep getting stuck on what would fill my days. The first twenty years of life are spent learning - how to walk, how to talk, how to get along in the world, how to earn a living. Then we spend some forty years raising families and working, working and raising families. Busy, busy, busy. After the intensity of those first sixty years, certainly a little slow-down sounds good, but not a dead stop. Are the next thirty years perhaps an opportunity to become more involved in community, volunteering at charities and non-profits and service clubs, working to make the world (whether local or in the broader sense) a better place? Or perhaps retirement can be an opportunity to return to the learning environment, to pursue learning for its own sake instead of worrying whether it can get you a job/career. Universities often have free tuition for those of a certain age. Maybe some parttime work? For sure I am getting a little ahead of myself as I anticipate at least a couple of more years before retiring, but one of the big considerations is what will happen to Ossekeag. Who will be the next caretaker of what Helen and Bert Boyd first created back in 1982? What will the next thirty years look like? And speaking of thirty . . . Time and Tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of thirty. ~ Robert Frost
