 “Gone - Almost”
Isn’t it amazing how torrential rain and mild temperatures
can destroy twenty feet of snow in just one week!! There are
times, when the missus is annoyed with me, that I wish I could
disappear that fast!! While it is a little early to declare winter
over, it is very unlikely that the snow banks will grow back to
their recent size.
With spring near at hand, I am already working on developing
some project ideas for when the ground is dry. Now I don’t
mind sharing these ideas, but you have to agree to keep them
confidential from “old you know who”!!
Speaking of “you know who”, the first step in going ahead with
my projects is convincing the missus to sell off all her jewels
and at least one half of her wardrobe in order to fund my little
dreams?? This project alone may take me most of the spring and
summer!! Once I have the cash in hand, my first project is to
create a better home for my newest to me tractor. When I first
built my storage shed, my only tractor had no cab and the design
worked just fine and dandy. But, last year I purchased my 1980
tractor with a cab, and there is some difficulty getting it to fit
nicely.
Now most of you guys would just play around trying to get
some extra clearance by jacking the front entry up a little higher.
And that’s why, of course, you guys will never go far in this world,
because you have to think BIG. Now … I am thinking about …
new garage around 30 by 60 feet with a 10 foot high doorway,
which should give me enough room to work with. Oops, what
if my dream excavator went on sale ($99.00 plus HST)?? Let’s
make that doorway at least 12 feet high. See how easy it is to
think BIG?? Come on you can do it!! At least until the missus
catches on.
A careful review also indicates the need for a better backup
tractor. My original tractor is almost 50 years old, and while it
works OK, I consider it to be unsuited for snow blowing with
no cab. So the entire population of Burnside Lane is relying on
one tractor, that is over 30 years old, for snow removal. Would
your community be happy if you had to rely on one old vehicle
for all of your snow removal needs?? I think not!! (See how this
works guys??)
Since I am running out of space, I need to cut this off, but I wish
everyone the best of luck with your BIG project!! 800

HMS News
By Esmee Setzke
Hello everybody. Hampton Middle School
is quite busy as usual. Everyone has put
away their ski/snowboard boots since ski
club has just ended and have brought out
their rain boots!
Right before the March Break, the school
held the school-wide science fair, where
two to three projects from each class were
judged to see who would attend the District Science Fair. For
grade 6, Martha Seaman came in first, Marcus O’Leary and
Riley Matthews came in second, and Hunter Thompson came
in third. For grade 7, Hayley Doucette and Kadie MacDonald
took first place, Andrew Lawrence and Will Blackmore came in
second, and Tyler Henderson and Evan Williams came in third.
Now for the grade 8 winners: Ashley Henderson was first, Ben
LeBlanc and Gabriel Della Valle were second, and Emily Kelly
was third.
On March 19th, the District Chess Tournament took place
.Other upcoming school events will be the Heritage Fair from
April 26th to 29th and Speeches, with a date yet to be determined.
Now for sport teams and gym classes. Unfortunately, the gym
is still under repair so there have been no sport games between
the house leagues at lunchtime. All try-outs and practices have
been held at either Hampton Elementary School or Hampton
High School. Since basketball is over, volleyball try-outs were
recently scheduled.
While still on the line of sports teams, I’d like to mention that
the school has their very first wrestling team! Both female and

 Basketball Championship in Hampton
Hampton, New Brunswick is pleased to
announce that its bid to host the 2011 Mini
boys’ AA provincial basketball championship
has been approved by Basketball New
Brunswick. The seven team event will take
place from March 26th – 27th, and will include
schools from across the province.
The Hampton Hawks are excited about the
opportunity to compete at the provincials in
front of their home town crowd and hope to reward the fans with
a professional well run event. The event will utilize the Hampton
High School gymnasium as its main venue as renovations are
happening at the Hampton Middle School where it would have
taken place. The HMBA wants to thank Hampton High School, as
well as the Hampton community that has joined together in such
short notice to make this happen. Hosting a Provincial event like
this relies heavily on volunteers, parents, community leaders and
local corporate sponsors. Our goal is that this will strengthen the
basketball spirit in Hampton, and encourage more kids to become
future basketball players and to love the sport.
Hampton is hoping that you mark your calendars and plan to
attend this upcoming fun-filled weekend for Boys Basketball. For
more information please contact: Darcy LeBlanc at 634-1620. 129

 on OUR cOVER: Wish Presentation
Jordan Malachi Ray is an 11 year old boy with Osteosarcoma
bone cancer who has had three lung surgeries, multiple
treatments of chemotherapy & radiation as well as having a
bone replacement yet maintains a positive attitude and speaks
of his desire to become a doctor.
The volunteers from Workers4Wishes met Malachi and his
family to help grant a wish to travel to Florida on March break.
However, health problems have made the travel impossible
so the new wish will see the family stay at the Hilton in Saint
John, the Marriott Hotel in Moncton and Crystal Palace for
a ten day vacation. Gift cards for all their food, gas, museum
visits, coffee spots, his favourite pizza place as well as spending
money were presented to the family. Matching gift cards for
ToysRus, E-B Games and wireless headphones were presented
to both Malachi and his older brother Nathan plus a remote
control helicopter, a new 32” LCD TV and hide-a-bed sofa
with pillows, sheets and blankets awaits Malachi’s return home.
Malachi’s mother Jocelyn said she is looking forward to these
days in between treatments “that don’t belong to cancer, they
belong to family.” Jocelyn thanked the group for their hard
work, Malachi’s brother Nathan for always being there and
Malachi himself for being her “HERO”.
Spokesman Eamon Clarke said thanks to the Hilton, Marriott
and Cox’s Electronics for assisting with this wish and special
thanks to the Pipefitters Union Local 213, the Carpenters &
Millwrights Local 1386 and the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers Union Local 502 that donated $3,000
between them to make this wish viable from the start. Also
thanks to the Boys & Girls Club of Saint John and employees
at the Irving Oil Refinery that did special fundraisers for this
event.

Cancer Society daffodils
– on their way
Volunteers will soon be selling daffodils in numerous locations
around the province as part of the Canadian Cancer Society
New Brunswick’s annual Daffodil Days campaign. The bright
yellow flowers are a symbol of hope in the fight against cancer.
Daffodil Days takes place March 29th - April 3rd in New
Brunswick and kicks off Daffodil Month in April. As part
of Daffodil Month this year, the Society will be introducing
its new daffodil lapel pin, which will be available beginning
April 4th at several locations in New Brunswick. The Canadian
Cancer Society is inviting Canadians to wear the daffodil pin
throughout Daffodil Month and, most importantly, on April
27th which is Daffodil Day. For a small donation, Canadians
can wear the new pin to show their solidarity with those living
with cancer, and letting them know they are not alone.
Also as part of Daffodil Month, Canadian Cancer Society Benefit for fire loss
volunteers will be canvassing New Brunswick neighbourhoods. There will be a Benefit held on Friday, March 25th at the Norton

CELEBRATE Wellness Leadership Awards

The District 6 Health Advisory Committee
(DHAC) wants to recognize, promote and
celebrate individuals, schools, as well as groups
or community partners who make or have made
a substantial contribution to the wellness of our
children and youth (0-18 years of age) through
healthy eating, physical activity, mental fitness
and/or other initiatives that promote wellness.
With the introduction of the new Wellness Leadership
Awards, the district hopes to encourage both nominations and
applications for each of these awards so that the many great
programs and services that help the youth are recognized.
There will be four separate categories up
for competition. Healthy Eating will look
at initiatives that promote healthy eating
within our youth. Physical Activity
will be those initiatives that encourage
active living and making active lifestyle
choices. The third category of Mental
Fitness recognizes initiatives that
enhance the emotional well being,
psychological health and/or resiliency of
individuals. The final category of Award
of Distinction is designed to recognize
those events/programs that may not fit
in the other categories.
Aisha Khedheri, Chair of DHAC, states
“this is an excellent opportunity for us to
celebrate those that support the overall
health of children in a very deliberate
way”. “There are so many great initiatives
that go unnoticed. I hope we can give
some sort of attention to these worthy
leaders in our communities”.
Applications and nominations are
available at www.district6.nbed.nb.ca/
Celebrate as well as the district office at
70 Hampton Rd., Rothesay. Deadline for
submissions is Monday, April 11th, 2011.

 COOK, Mary Georgina
The death of Mary G. Cook of Hampton,
widow of the late C. Donald Cook occurred

her passion and at 88 years young she was bowling weekly. A
loyal fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Blue Jays
she thoroughly enjoyed watching televised games. Her days
consisted of living happily with Cookie (Dorothy) and Rod,

she touched their lives in such a loving, caring and positive way.

Cheeky!
I love to read. In fact I will read most anything. As a kid I was
sometimes reduced to reading the backs of cereal boxes at the
breakfast table if nothing else was available, but that’s another
story. Recently I was doing some reading on Sir Richard Branson.
You know the guy, multi-billionaire British entrepreneur known
for his “colourful” promotion of his Virgin brand. I stumbled
upon an ad campaign run for Virgin Atlantic Airlines when
they launched a form of Japanese massage known as shiatsu
for their first class passengers. Virgin Atlantic was up against
long established British Airways, fighting for market share. The
Virgin ad campaign was starkly simple: “BA don’t give a shiatsu”.
Now does that grab your attention or what!
Cheeky appeals to me. A little saucy, but with a glint in the
eye and a twitch of the lips, no offense intended. A touch of
humour to brighten the day and lift the spirit. I have never
studied marketing, I have no business degree, and I know the
pundits will tell you to stay away from humour in advertising
as you are bound to offend someone. Well, there is danger and
risk in everything. I could walk out of my door and be hit by a
bus tomorrow. Okay, maybe not a bus. In my case it would more
likely be Mikie’s tractor or the corporate Jet that knocks me flat,
but you get my drift. Taking a risk to follow a dream is far better
than looking back at age 85 and wishing you had done things
differently. Lighten up, chillax, let a little fun in.
Businesses are living entities too, and each has a personality
of its own. Since the initial hiring at Ossekeag was mine and
cheeky appeals to me, don’t be surprised if you find that to be
one of our company personality traits. Watch for that gleam in
the eye and enjoy life with us. And since I am writing this on St.
Patrick’s Day, I will end with an Irish blessing: “May the Good
Lord take a liking to you ... but not too soon!” 801
