We have just had a three day and two night vacation on PEI with the daughter and the grand granddaughter. A fine time was had by all but seemed especially enjoyable to the Carmen Kid. A major event was the joy of being allowed on the roller coaster that last year she had been denied access because she was too small. So, riding the roller coaster this year was kind of a rite of passage that moved her along the road toward being a Big Kid. In other news, Mikie has moved along his goal towards being a Big Kid by getting his backhoe attachment all hooked up and working. The very big job of road repair has now begun. Having gotten the backhoe attached once to the tractor, subsequent connections should go a fair bit easier but it will still likely to be a major pain in the butt. One of the things that I noted for the missus was that the average PEI farmer usually has four or more tractors. To some of you, who are tractor impaired, this may seem excessive, but if you have five attachments and only one tractor to work with you might spend half of your work day switching back and forth. Dig a trench with backhoe, oops need to bush whack some of those alders, oops where did that 12 inches of snow come from, attach snow blower, oops better haul out some wood before more snow, attach wood trailer. Are you beginning to see my point!!! A 12 hour day and only 6 of them actually doing something useful. And of course there is the pride factor. No offense to PEI farmers, but I hate to see New Brunswickers playing second fiddle just for the sake of not having a couple of extra tractors. Carmen and I are not the only ones trying to transition to being Big Kids. The Jet has been working on his own rite of passage. A month ago he had a close encounter with a porcupine. A few days ago he had a closer encounter. Apparently The Jet was not alone in his love for apples!! Without even a yelp he managed to pick up a dozen or so quills in his nose and upper lip. Since he had no quills in his mouth it would seem that he was just trying to be friendly with this fairly young porky. Due to his youth none of the quills were more than an inch or so in length and about half of that was sticking out. So with pliers in hand The Jet had his Big Kid rite of passage. While he would struggle a bit when you got near his nose with the pliers, he never whined nor complained at all when they were extracted. What a Big Boy he was!!! 800

Grab those walking shoes, or dust off the running shoes and hit the pavement. If you are not a regular walker/runner then why not use the 5-Miler as a starting point to greater fitness or an incentive to get back at it. Just do it youll feel great! Early September is a beautiful time of year and the route offers some spectacular scenery. You wont be alone out there as we anticipate over 300 participants in the 5-Miler alone and another 150 plus in the Kids Kilometer. All levels from elite runners to recreational walkers will be in Hampton to take part. Afterwards join your fellow participants for a great lunch and an award ceremony in the Community Theatre. Aside from awards for the various categories, there are always loads of great prizes to be won that have been generously donated by our sponsors and local businesses so be sure to stay around. During the event, free babysitting is available in the gym so dont let having a little one deter you from participating. And a new addition this year will be a porta potty half way around the fivemile route. So there is absolutely no excuse for not participating.

On Sunday, September 18th at 2:00pm the Southfield United Church will be celebrating its 140th anniversary. The Southfield United Church, formerly known as the Campbell Settlement Presbyterian Church until the communitys name was changed in the early 1900s, has seen many changes over the years. The church was started in the mid 1800s by the Reverend Andrew Donald, a missionary who came to the Maritimes from Scotland. Two years after his ordination in Halifax he was called to a charge in southern New Brunswick but was then sent to Carleton County for a year. In 1858, he was called back to serve a pastoral charge consisting of Campbell Settlement (Southfield), Salt Springs, Londonderry and Mechanic Settlement a very wide spread area. Rev. Donald built a house in Campbell Settlement and lived there until he retired in 1875. The cornerstone of the church shows the date 1871, but an old land map indicates a church was present on the site as early as 1862. When church union took place in 1925, it became known as the Southfield Church of Canada as part of the Norton Pastoral Charge. However, in 1955, the area became a Student Mission Field and remained so for 31 years. Over that period of time the church was served by several student ministers. A plaque has been placed in the church honouring those who have served the church over the years. In 1986, Southfield United Church became part of the newly formed Andrew Donald Pastoral Charge, along with Saint Andrews Kirk, Hammond River and Salina Kirk, Salt Springs. The charge was named in honour of Rev. Andrew Donald who had served all three areas. In 1994, because of road construction, the church was moved to its present site and many changes were made to the building. The congregation extends an invitation to all to come share in this special service. Rev. Brian DeLong, a former student minister in Southfield in 1972, is the guest speaker for the occasion. Special music will be provided by Joe Ness and Brenda McLaughlin. Refreshments to follow. 523

The NB/PEI team is pleased to announce great success at the dressage championships in August, in Ontario. Justin Smith, Katie Jardine, Jennie Ogden and Coach Jennifer Hanson from the Hampton Pony Club along with Morgan Bourque from PEI all travelled to Ancaster, Ontario for a three-day competition. Each rider had to compete in their Regional Qualifiers in order to be the top rider for a spot on the team. Members of pony club branches from all over Canada met to compete. The riders competed on borrowed horses provided by the hosting Pony Club branch. The challenge for our hosts was to gather up 50-60 good dressage horses. This made the playing field even, because none of the riders had an opportunity to practice with the horse. They had to use all their skills to get on a strange horse and make it behave and perform at the required level, all in a half hour! The competition consisted of five parts. Two phases were dressage patterns that the riders had memorized, ridden and practiced at home. But in this competition they were tested and scored on unfamiliar horses. One phase was a mystery test where each rider was handed a pattern, got to look it over for five minutes, then had to go in the ring in front of the judge and execute it. The mystery test was at the appropriate level for each competitor, but they had never seen or ridden it before. One phase was a written test and the final component was turnout. Turnout is how well cleaned and groomed the horse and rider combination is. The average of all five phases determined the top riders in Canada. Justin Smith 4th Starter level; Morgan Bourque 8th PreTraining Level; Katie Jardine 8th Training Level; Jennie Ogden 3rd First Level. Coach Jennifer Hanson was very proud of all four riders. Our NB/PEI Regional team had all four riders in the top 10 in Canada ! Way to go team! 129 A very large tip of the hat goes to Pam Martin for all of her hard work in the Hampton Coed Slowpitch league. She has been an amazing president and will be a shame to see her go. Pam is an amazing person and hard worker. She has made this league a success and very fun to be in. Thank you so much Pam for everything, Debbie Saunders. If you would like to send a Tip of the Hat to acknowledge someone who gives of themselves to their community without recognition or pay, just send us their name, community and a brief description of their acts of kindness.

Local members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program who joined the Associations PLAYSAFE/ DRIVESAFE float in Kentvilles Apple Blossom Parade helped to mark a milestone - 65 years of key tags! Kingston resident Matthew Nutter, 14, a double foot amputee, along with the others, rode the float as a Safety Ambassador. A special sign on the float marked the 65th anniversary of War Amps key tags. Public support of key tags allows The War Amps to run its many programs such as CHAMP, which provides child amputees across Canada with funding for artificial limbs, regional seminars and programs like Matching Mothers. Astar, the gold robot from Planet Danger was also front and centre, reminding kids that he can put his arm back on, but they cant, so PLAYSAFE! All of the Champs who joined the float are part of our National Safety Ambassador Team, said Rob Larman, Director of PLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE, who himself lost a leg at the age of 14 when friends dared him to jump a train. This kids-to-kids approach gets the message across to children in a way that they can relate to and that they will remember. For PLAYSAFE information or resources, call 1-800-250-3030 or visit waramps.ca. 121

How very fortunate we were to be spared what might have been great devastation from the tail end of the hurricane! As with most negative experiences in our lives there are good things that can evolve from them; we can learn from the near miss several garden related lessons that could stand us in good staid when we are next assaulted by high winds and super abundant rain. Before the onslaught of winter with its potential for ice storms and snow falls that can lay heavy burdens on our shrubs and trees, it is well to take inventory and do some serious pruning and /or felling of trees. The first trees to go are those that, should they fall, would either damage buildings, or worse, fall upon passing people or vehicles. It is never a pleasing task to dispose of a tree; however the pain can easily be alleviated by browsing through catalogues, magazines and books and deciding what small flowering beauty you will plant in its place. As for those bushes and trees that present no danger to man or beast, its still important to look after their welfare if they are to prosper. Branches that rub together in the wind (you will probably hear the squeaking before you see the action), should be pruned, some of them will have to go! It is a good plan to prune out any branches that are steering inwards, thus opening up the tree or bush to air and light, this kind of pruning is much easier to do after the leaves have fallen and the form of the patient can more easily be assessed. Reducing the number of potential branches on lilacs is essential, leave too many and they all die or suffer greatly from powdery mildew or the many fungi, often frightfully smelly, that love damp over crowded conditions. A little effort now with pruning saw and loppers will pay dividends next summer and for years to come. One of the very real pleasures for me in the aftermath of Irene was a large Ash tree that was uprooted, a great example of good things evolving from seemingly unfortunate happenings. As I began to lop off branches prior to calling in the Chain Saw Chappie, the neighbours children arrived and had a wonderful time climbing along its branches and leaping off onto the soft grass (as well as into grampas arms). I was easily convinced to keep this special climbing apparatus until late fall, what a joy to see children happily playing with so simple an object, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Proves yet again that the best things in life are free. 805

It was a magical evening of music, friendship and fun. Every moment of the concert was amazing, from the first performer, eight year old Magnus Labillois singing House of the Rising Sun to Bill Preeper, and Sandy MacKay performing It Wont Rain. The talent and generosity of the people of Hampton and surrounding areas never ceases to amaze me! The elation felt by organizer Laura Myers is evident in her words describing the third annual Concert by the Creek on August 20th. Although I was out of town and unable to attend, I heard this positive vibe expressed by many others in attendance. This event always has a real nice feel to it - a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere created by the musicians, guests, and, of course, the venue. Many thanks to Blair Boudreau whose contribution of his beautiful property every year adds so much to the evening. Thank you to all the performers: Magnus Labillois; Alec Boudreau; Nic Robichaud and Jessica Urquhart; Emily DesRoches; Doug Farrell; Maggie Folkins and Penney Merrithew; Alex, Daniel & Graeme; Byrann Gowan; Erin Mullin; Derek Doucet; Jordyn Saulnier; Emily Kennedy; Meryl Sarty; Craig Martin; Dylan Farrell; Debbie Adshade; Bill Preeper and Sandy MacKay. I must also thank all the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership committee members who make this event possible. We have a hard working and dedicated crew that I hope receives the satisfaction that I do in knowing that we are improving the existence of many young people in Piggs Peak. A few of us have been there so we know that the Nonhlanhlas and Sikhelas and Nonotokozos are being given a hand up and a reason for hope in what would otherwise be a hopeless existence. As a supporter, you should know that your contribution is what is making this happen. You are doing Gods work, let there be no doubt. A financial donation will help to bring a little piece of heaven to this world where too often we hear only of hellish situations. A final special thank you to Laura Myers. Laura is the inspiration and the gentle but unstoppable force behind this event. Its ongoing success is due in no small part to having her steady hand on the wheel. With our Starfish sponsorships and the funds we have raised over the past few months we will soon make our final installment for 2011 school and exam fees. The funds we raise over the remainder of the year will allow us to make an assessment of our capacity to commit to projects for next year. So for us its crunch time! Your contribution or commitment (eg Starfish sponsorship) over the next few months will be especially important in determining what we will be able to do in 2012. To make a donation, please call me at 832-0003 or visit our website.

In August seven boys from the Hampton area travelled to Calgary to participate in the Canadian National Rugby Championship. This tournament is designed to bring some of the most skilled young players in the country together to compete for a most prestigious title: National Champions. Players from the Hampton area participated in two of the tournaments divisions. From the under 16 division, there were three Hamptonians: Mike Bettle, Tyler Hodgin, and Nolan Long. From the under 18 division, there were four Hamptonians: Jackson Chamberlain, Johnny Cullen, Cody Greer, and Peter OBrien. Clearly, the hard work put in by these teams over the summer paid off. Both the under 18, and the under 16 side put in a solid effort at the tournament. Although the under 16 squad did not win many games, going 1-5 (one win and five losses), the team played with heart, and the players gained valuable experience. The under 18 on the other hand, hit the pitch with more experience than their fellow New Brunswickers, and as a result of this, went 3-3 (three wins and three losses) in the tournament. Andrew MacDonald, head coach of the under 18 team, was happy with the teams effort. I was very pleased with the U18 boys performance at the National Rugby festival in Calgary. The boys worked hard all summer to prepare for this week of rugby and I really believe that their hard work paid off . MacDonald was impressed by the Kings County boys performance, saying they each played very well. This tournament was a great learning experience for the players, and made all of their hard work for the last three months pay off. What a great way to wrap up the summer. Submitted by Johnny Cullen. 125

There are so many winners in Hampton this summer. Despite our wet and cool summer and the marauding deer, gardeners in Hampton werent deterred and produced beautiful gardens. Our gardens of the week were all winners for their beautiful and unique gardens. But all of our nominated gardens were winners as were all of those gardens hidden away that missed being nominated. Although they didnt receive a prize, these gardeners should all be very proud of their hard work and beautiful results. The Hampton Communities in Bloom committee was very busy getting ready for the International Judges visit July 24th through 26th. At the Judges Reception on July 25th we randomly drew for the Grand Prize for Garden of the Week and Scott Sommerville was the lucky winner. Due to the abundance of donated prizes we also drew for a 2nd and 3rd prize. Maurice Monahan and Jason and Christa Holmes were the recipients. The Committee took a little rest after the judges visit so that there are lots of gardens of the week to mention. Our week five garden belongs to Sharon MacCullum on Keltie. Sharon was nominated numerous times and it isnt surprising given the lovely display of blooms in her gardens. Sheila and Richard King on Highland were the next weeks winners. Their beautiful window boxes and annual displays were as colourful as their pretty Adirondack chairs. Rachelle Girouard MacDonald at 894 Main Street was another multiple nomination garden. Each year there is something new and different in this ever-changing garden. Trish Rodds garden on Kierstead was the week eight winner. Her colourful planters complemented her established shrub and perennial gardens. And the week nine award went to Betty Misner on Gordon Street. Her nominator mentioned how wonderful Bettys planters were and we couldnt agree more. Michelle and Brad Cumming on Pleasant Street took the week 10 award. Their unique rock garden, picturesque front entry, and huge hanging basket in their front tree, creates quite a pretty picture. Next was Muriel Delong on Villa for her interesting front yard garden, with its mixture of unique window boxes and gardens. And Mary and Leigh Campbells creative and colourful display of annual planters and baskets at their Railway Avenue home made them the week 12 recipient. And this weeks gardeners of the week are Troy and Angela Sommerville on Donlea Drive. Do drive by and take a look! We wish that we could have given a prize to all of the nominated gardens but we could only draw one prize each week. Thank you to the businesses that generously donated so many prizes. And thank you to everyone who nominated your favourite garden. The Hampton Communities in Bloom committee salutes all Hampton gardeners for a job so well done! 137

CLoSe eNCouNterS of tHe CrItter KIND

After all of the excitement from our blustery friend Irene, Mike and I were setting out on our usual evening walk to the woods with Jet. One of Jets great joys is the little hard green apples that litter the ground beneath an old wild apple tree we pass on our way, and after all that wind there were even more than usual. Seems someone else was enjoying them as well and Mr Jet met up with Mr Porky, who was NOT in the mood to share. After an uneventful extraction of a dozen or so quills from his snout we set out again and enjoyed a lovely walk. This in no way comes close to the night my brothers dog encountered both a skunk and a porcupine within an hour of each other. I believe it was the skunk first and after getting bathed the dog went tearing off for a quick run (as they love to do as soon as they are clean!) and promptly ran into a porcupine. Over all we have quite fortunate with our pets and the little critters with whom we share the countryside. We did have a long-haired black and white cat that we sometimes teased that he looked like a skunk . . . plump and round. Then one day he also SMELLED like a skunk. We were lucky that it was this particular cat, as he was a lovely gentleman and tolerated three consecutive baths with just a pitiful expression and no fusing. He looked more like a scrawny rat when he was bathed! I have held a hummingbird in my hands when he became trapped in the back porch and couldnt find his way from the window he was desperately trying to fly through to the open door. Such an amazing little creature, he sat perfectly still and allowed me to carry him across the room to release him. Then of course there was the night I awoke from a sound sleep to the sensation that something just wasnt right! Swoosh, across my face! Okay, that is not a sound I should be hearing in the middle of the night. Light please. A bat dive bombed me again. Michael, wake up! He of course was more than happy to remain asleep and deal with the problem in the morning. I was not. He eventually saw it my way and headed downstairs and out to the garage to fetch a fishing net. After several unsuccessful attempts the bat was captured and of course released. We have seen signs of both coyotes and bear on our daily walks, but so far no sightings. I dont mind the little critters, but those two I will be happy to not see outside of a zoo. Meantime, a thought for the day: What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself. ~ Abraham Lincoln. 801
