Other than the Missus, my life is not generally caught up with a lot of frustration. Oh there are many minor ones here and there but they are small, short lived and easy to overlook. But, every now and then what originally appears to be simple turns out to be, well ... anything but simple!! Restoring an old woods trailer was going to be simple, replace two rotting tires with good ones and I would be all set. How easy was that going to be?? Even for Mikie ... a piece of cake!! Last fall a helpful reader provided me with three tires all mounted on rims ... the end is near!! Well the new rims wouldnt fit my old trailer hey no big deal ... just as I expected!! So I spent many hours during the winter trying to get the locking hubs off, as they were badly rusted to the split-rims. Split-rims are older types where the tire slides on the rim and then a piece is set in against the tire, hopefully locking the tire into the rim. Okay, finally now just pop these tires off?? Hours and hours of beating off rust and those danged tires wouldnt let go. Pressure from a tire jack jammed into a door frame and ... the door frame is moving but not those tires. How about using the front loader of my tractor?? The tractor went up but the tires didnt go down!! So my next strategy was to remove the rims off the trailer and take all the rims to a pro to break down the tires and then I would be home free?? My air gun couldnt budge the well rusted lug nuts!! The attempt to remove them manually with a strong arm (a long bar ... not my biceps) didnt work as the trailer was too light and the wheel would just rock back and forth. Undeterred, I simply removed the whole wheel and brake hub assembly. Yes ... now off to a pro and the final easy steps. About 20 minutes of wrestling with a pro and one old tire surrendered and came off the rim. Yahoo!!!! A few minutes examination and the pro suggested that the rim was badly rusted, installing split rim tires is very hazardous and been responsible for more than one death. After 10 months of off and on work, and I realized that this project was still far from over. The famous Red Green would say, If the women dont find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. The unfamous Mikie would say, Persistence can even overcome stupidity. This trailer will ride again, somehow, someday!! To be continued!! 800

There are many different types of mulch available to gardeners today serving several purposes. The increased popularity of these materials stemmed mainly from the attractive notion that many in the landscaping and garden supply businesses put great store in; that of rendering the whole aspect of gardening an easy, one stop method of having a garden without the need of maintaining it. The theory being that once a four inch layer of mulch is placed around all plantings the weeds will never again surface and one can practically live in the lawn chair, stirring only for personal sustenance and touring admiring neighbours around an immaculate property. Suffice to say nothing is or should be that easy! The major, and possibly only activity that any mulch engages in is that of decomposition, taking the nutrients of the soil away from the surrounding plant life in order to do so, thus jeopardizing their growth. If the desire to use mulch as a weed deterrent is the choice you make, then be sure to leave a six inch border of open soil around each planting and cover that ground with a rich layer of good compost mixed with well composted manure. That small area will need hand weeding, a satisfying job that also brings one into close contact with the plants and gives the opportunity to deal with unwanted slugs etc., before they become a monster problem. Mulches generally offer snug homes to many undesirables and need to be regularly monitored. The chief advantage of mulch is that, when applied on wet ground it will keep that moisture in the soil, which when gardening on a well drained area or during drought conditions, is a blessing. The Cedar mulch is also great for pathways as it is much slower than other types to decompose. Gardening without the use of mulch has several benefits, with open soil a surprising number of volunteer plants will arrive in the plot, dropped by passing birds, small animals or the balmy breezes of summer; these gifts really are a joy to the gardener who is willing to spend a good bit of time enjoying close contact with the soil and its bounty. A well weeded garden without mulch also provides the best environment for clumps of perennials to expand, thus allowing future divisions to share with friends or to donate to next years Communities in Bloom plant sale. Aim not for perfection, enjoy the journey. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth and no culture comparable to that of the garden..... Thomas Jefferson. 805

Its been 50 years since the current building of the New Canaan United Baptist Church on Rte. 112 was built. Many children, and adults too, came to Sunday School in this little country church over those years. They have since been scattered from coast to coast of Canada, and beyond. This summer we are planning to hold a Sunday School Reunion on Saturday, July 23rd and are hoping that many of our former Sunday School members, their families and friends can join us in celebration. We are looking forward to a time of reconnecting with old friends, getting reacquainted and getting updated on their lives. We are planning to have a Registration and Meet & Greet from 2:30-4:30pm, to give folks time to meet and chat with old friends. There will be childrens activities for those who have young families. Pony rides (all ages) and an inflatable bouncer (up to age 12) will be part of the fun, weather permitting. At 4:30pm well be sharing a Picnic Supper. Please bring something to share for a cold lunch (for example, salads, sandwiches, veggies, chips, cheese, fruit, sweets, etc). Please bring any perishable food in a cooler and keep it in the cooler until lunch time. After the meal well all gather in the sanctuary (around 5:30pm) for an old fashioned Sunday School opening, joining in singing some of the old favourites. Well also have a Bible story, puppets and some music and memories. If you have any memories of your days in Sunday School, wed love to hear them. Well finish up the evening with coffee and desserts after the program. We hope anyone who had any connection to New Canaan will be able to come out and make our day complete. If you ever attended New Canaan Sunday School and are on Facebook you can search for New Canaan United Baptist Sunday School and ask to join our group for updates.

A most sincere and profound thank you goes out to Jody Middleton for agreeing to audit the Food Basket books; you have saved us $500 and that translates into a whole pile of food for our ever increasing clientele. You are a blessing and a great relief to our hard working Treasurer. Thanks go out to Sally for managing the books whilst coping with the major health problems that Kevin has encountered; we pray that he will soon be well and stay that way. While on the subject of volunteer work its a pleasure to thank the many people who turn up every month to prepare and serve; Sheldon for the numerous trips to collect goods; Janice for the countless hours on the job and the many groups and individuals that offer steady support in different ways. Just to mention a few that have helped in the past month; Zeldas Pontoon Trips; Communities in Bloom for over 100 potted plants; Janet Day for going the extra mile and looking after these babies prior to potting them up; Home Hardware for the proceeds from their BBQ, over $700 and Cynthia Duffy and the Wanamaker Farm for fresh eggs. We are still conducting the screening to establish the needs of our clients and are asking that all clients bring proof of address - one of the following original documents would be fine; the most recent power bill, telephone bill, cable bill or the tax return document from Revenue Canada confirming income. Our hope is that we might be able to help clients access all that is available for them. Food is really in short supply and we are so often thanked and told that our clients could not manage without Food Basket. We hope that the churches of the area will continue to support our ongoing campaign for canned meats and fish; they make the base for nourishing meals and that many people will find they are able to help financially. Often our questions are trying to decide what to eat for the next meal, our clients on the other hand often question where the next meal will come from! Our treasurer will be thrilled to be inundated with cheques, please send them to Hampton Food Basket, 39 Tilley Street, Unit 2, Hampton, E5N 5B4. The next preparation day is July 20th at 8:00am and the next client day is July 21st from 8:30am to 11:00am.

Hampton is an amazing community who would have thought back in 2005 that a small community in NB could provide so much love, caring and support to little rural communities in Swaziland. What an amazing journey your community has taken. I know the people in Piggs Peak and surrounding area feel your love. Debby Warren, Executive Director of AIDS Moncton, expressed this sentiment in response to the recent article about the contribution the artistic community is making to the mission of the Hampton-Piggs Peak Partnership. As most readers know, our main initiative is to provide school fees for the youth in Piggs Peak. The success of this program is due in large part to the support that has been provided by all levels of schools in Hampton, primary through high school. This spring, a Hampton High School Starfish fundraiser collected over $2600, allowing the school to sponsor eight students. More recently, HHS teacher Laura Myers informed us that the graduates chose to donate the $464.75 offering from their Baccalaureate service to the Partnership. Like our artists, the students and teachers in Hampton have become tightly woven into the fabric of our Partnership. But our efforts have often involved those in our extended community as well. A couple weeks ago I was delighted to receive the following letter from Mrs. Andrea Lewis, a teacher at Belleisle Regional High School. In early May, Mr. Bev Harrison came to Belleisle Regional High School to speak to the students and staff about the Starfish Project and Hamptons role in assisting young people in Piggs Peak, Swaziland in their efforts to attend school. Many of Mr. Harrisons listeners were immediately touched by the plight of young people in that country.

HaMPTon PIggS PEaK nEWS

That same day, students began discussing what they could do to help. Many suggestions arose, with some larger projects being tabled for consideration in September. The students decided to create the Belleisle Buskers, a group of talented young musicians who would perform at lunchtime in the cafeteria and lobby areas. As music was played and singers were singing, the empty music case at their feet quickly filled with change and the occasional fivedollar bill. This project was called Change for Piggs Peak, and students and staff were encouraged to donate the change from their lunch money and perhaps forsake buying a cookie or a bag of chips that day. Over the course of five lunch hours, as the sound of guitar, piano, violin, and voices filled the halls of the school, over $380 was raised for the Hampton/Piggs Peak partnership. Students taking part were: Geena Sipkema, Levi Sipkema, Chelsea Goguen, Teagan Anderson, Lynn Reicker, Cecilia Asbridge, Haley McMillan, and Daniel Ganong. Belleisle Regional High is looking forward to more fun fundraising activities like this in the new school year. And we look forward to having BRHS as an integral part of our Partnership!

Richard Vessot Gorham B.A. M.A, LLD, ONB, 84, of Gorhams Bluff, NB, known to all as Dick and to his grandchildren as Grampy, passed away peacefully on June 18th, 2011. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by his beloved wife Dorie (Landry) Gorham, children Pat (Murray), Halifax, Tim (Naomi), Rockland, ON, Bob (Wendy), Ottawa, and Andy (Kirsten), Ottawa, and grandchildren Alex, Clare, Emma, Nathan, Isaac and Grace. He was predeceased by his father, Raymond, mother Marie, his brother Paul, and sisters Helene and Marcelle and by his beloved eldest son Nick. Also mourning his loss are his cousin, Ernie Gorham, good friend, Danielle Godbout and many nieces and nephews, who all enjoyed his great good humour and endless stories when visiting Gorhams Bluff. As a community leader and active builder of the Kingston Peninsula region, Dick will be greatly missed by friends, colleagues and neighbours who counted on him as a person with ideas and commitment, who could roll up his sleeves and make things happen. Dicks fascination with the world began early on, with a stint in the merchant marine at eighteen that took him to the Mediterranean, Spain and Northern Europe. After completing undergraduate studies at UNB and Post Graduate Studies at Clark University, Dick

gorHaM, richard Vessot

joined Canadas Foreign Service, Far East Division, in 1952. He began his adventure as a world traveler with a six year assignment in Japan in 1954, cementing a deep and lifelong love for that country, which included mastery of spoken and written Japanese, one of seven languages in his repertoire. Over thirty years, Dick also served in India and Cambodia, as well as a second tour in Japan. He served as Canadas Ambassador to the Peoples Republic of China (19841991) and was Roving Ambassador and Permanent Observer to the Organization of Latin American States (1987-1990). Dick had the good fortune and skill to lead a large and exciting life through his career, but his heart was always in the Kingston Peninsula, where he and Dorie were able to lead an active and vibrant retirement on their beautiful property at Gorhams Bluff, contributing to community life, and strengthening rural New Brunswick. Dick was the catalyst for and founding member of the tremendously successful Kingston Farmers Market Cooperative. Dick also served as adjunct professor at the University of New Brunswick; on the Public Complaints Commission of the RCMP; the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission; Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission; Royal District Planning Commission; NB Municipalities Act Review Panel; Local Service district Advisory Committee; Peninsula Heritage Inc.; Kingston Vision 2000; Kingston Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, the Kingston Ambulance Service Inc, and lent his volunteer services to countless projects in the region and around the Province. In recognition of this important community work and his impressive career, Dick was awarded the Order of New Brunswick in 2006.

a LITTLE KnoWLEDgE . . .

I am sure you have heard the saying A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Well, let me tell you . . . I am on the Board of Directors of a local early childhood/parenting organization here in Hampton, the Hampton Alliance for Lifelong Learning. As part of that, I recently undertook to review and update the website. After tracking down the login information I reviewed the content to determine what needed to be updated and did the changes in the software tool. The next step is to publish, which will actually update the website. Hmmm . . . it did a preview of the site, but there is an error message and I am unable to get the site to update. Grrr. The next day I am at the office and think I may have the answer, so I log in to try it. Except . . . the IT Manager (that would be Mikie) has the security settings such that I cannot access it at all. Seems he doesnt want people (especially me!) playing around on Ossekeag equipment. So I have to wait until I am home. That evening, back to the site I go, but my brainwave turns out to be a dud and I still cannot get the new information uploaded to the site. Sigh . . . later in the evening, Mike was on the desktop computer so I fired up the laptop to give it another try. Wow! Suddenly I am faced with a whole selection of buttons and options and bells and whistles of all kinds I never saw when logged in through the desktop computer! This is too cool. Wonder what this does. Ooh, and I can do this. These graphics are amazing. I start playing around in there, having a great time. Redesign the header, add some graphics, upload the logo . . . wonder how this would look? Lets see. Hit Publish, just like I did previously when on the desktop computer. Hooray, it looks like it is going to work. Except . . . why am I not getting a preview like I did previously? Oh, no! Cancel! Cancel! Cancel! Too late. It published. A lovely newly designed header . . . no content. None. Nada. Not a word. This is definitely not good. Quickly go back into the tool and put a Under construction message on the site and go for my evening walk (need to do something to lower the blood pressure after that bit of drama). When I return I successfully track down all of the previous content, update the information, publish to the site and by the next day everything is back in operation - but with the new header and graphics. Whew! What did I learn. Not a darn thing. Computers and software programs just beg to be explored, and if dont we will never get any better. Oh, and the origin of the quote? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot. Albert Einstein. 801
