It is Environment Week in Canada as I write this, so you will be getting it after the fact, but that is OK because with any luck at all the environment will still be around. If there is one issue that concerns me on the political front is how governments typically think short term and often not further than the next election. I ask you ... when was the last time that you ever heard a politician of any political stripe talk about 100 years down the road let alone 1000 years ahead. So I wonder sometimes whether they believe the country will even be around that long. And you know, without some long range thinking ... they might be right!! Politicians, however, are simply reflecting the thinking of the majority of Canadians. In general we prefer jobs now, lower taxes now and to heck with everything else. Politicians wont change until Canadians change!! As a country Canada is still extremely dependent on the extraction of natural resources for much of our prosperity. Currently we must face two key issues. Firstly, much of what we extract ... oil, natural gas, gold, potash, zinc, nickel and so on are in absolutely in limited quantities and will NEVER return. When the oil is gone ... it is gone forever or at least a few hundred thousand years. Gold and zinc will never return no matter how long the planet exists. Secondly, some of our resources, such as forestry and fishing, are renewable but only within certain limits. The Atlantic cod fishery has been largely decimated and neglect of our woodlands could certainly effect our future production. There are probably few things that Canadians love more than our children. Well, there might be one ... our grandchildren. But what about our great, great, great, great, great grandchildren?? Does anyone give a hoot?? Most of us wont be around to hold them and burp them and thank goodness no dirty diapers, buy do we care what their lives will be like?? Do you think that they deserve clean air?? How about clean water?? Do you think that a few minerals and petroleum left in the ground would be ok or are we starting to spoil them?? How about healthy forests, healthy oceans and lots of healthy animals and fish to make them come alive?? Mikie youre really starting to go crazy here!!! Those of you who understand the basics of financial management know that you cannot spend every last dime and still have money for emergencies. We need to spend some and save some!! The less we spend today ... the better we are off tomorrow!! A belated Happy Environment Week!! 800

A free health program called iHEAL (intervention for Health Enhancement After Leaving), designed specifically for woman abuse survivors, is being offered locally as part of a research study. Local staff involved with the program are currently recruiting Sussex area women for this exciting initiative. We know that abuse from a partner negatively affects a womans physical and mental health and that her health can be affected for many years after she breaks free. These health consequences have a significant economic cost, both for the woman and society, yet few health programs have been tailored to help women with a history of trauma. Jessica Coleman, the local nurse who will be working with interested women is pleased to have the chance to out reach and work individually with women over a six-month period to help them deal with the health and life issues that are most important to them. The Domestic Violence Outreach program has worked very hard over the past few years to build services for local women struggling with abuse. They are excited to see health given this attention and to have the greater Sussex, Hampton and Valley areas chosen to test the feasibility of the program. The research study is being lead by nurse researchers from the University of New Brunswick who have designed the study to learn how to better help women who have been abused deal with the health effects of the trauma. The project is funded by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research and the NB Health Research Foundation, and was launched last spring based on a partnership with the NB Womens Issues Branch, the NB Department of Health and Liberty Lane Inc. Women interested in learning more about the study can call 1-888457-6600 or email health@unb.ca 516

In the town of Sussex there is a wonderful school the Sussex Middle School - which is also known as a community school because of their connection with their community. The definition of a community school is one that actively seeks partnerships with businesses, agencies and individuals to provide an environment and experiences which promote learning and a sense of commitment to the community. Community Schools work to engage the community in delivering programs that focus on equipping students with 21st century knowledge and skills. At Sussex Middle School the Leadership Group of approximately 20 students under the guidance of teacher Jeanne LeBlanc, give of their free time to raise money for needy causes. To raise funds for groups that can use assistance they have bagged groceries and hosted school events crazy hat day, music festivals, and such. In the past year alone these students have raised thousands of dollars for needy children and whole families. Organizations that the Leadership Groups have supported include: Sussex Sharing Club, Salvation Army, Danny & Jessica Angel Foundation and the Haiti disaster fund just to name a few.. Thank You to the Leadership Group of Sussex Middle School, Foundation Judy Leger, Danny & Jessica Angel Foundation. 333

The Hampton John Peters Humphrey Foundation is gearing up for its biennial Bloomin Artists event. Bloomin Artists, co-sponsored by Hampton Communities in Bloom, has proven to be one of the most fun and exciting events that Hampton has to offer in the summer months; it attracts folks from near and far. This years event will be held in The Lighthouse Park River Centre on Saturday, July 23rd & Sunday, July 24th featuring about 40 artists who will be painting some of Hamptons most beautiful gardens and picturesque sites. The paintings created over the course of the weekend will be sold during four separate silent auctions, and excitement among the artists, along with that of the many volunteeers, onlookers and buyers, is always tangible. A highlight of the event is the opportunity for the public to visit the lovely gardens and watch the artists at work. Not to be forgotten, children will have their very own event. Members of Hamptons Alliance for Lifelong Learning will have tables set up for the children to make their own creations, which they can take home. Some of the wooden fish that they painted in 2009, and decorated with feathers, sticks, sequins, pebbles, you name it, were truly works of art and a lovely way to introduce the children to an artistic group event. There has always been a popular surprise event at Bloomin Artists. Prior to the event, each artist is given a blank wooden figure(s), and asked to create a work of art around a theme (this years theme is Women in Bloom). An amazing variety of figures, ranging from the hilarious to the serious, will also be auctioned off. Please come, and please stay tuned for more information as the event approaches. 830

What a glorious time of year, blossoms everywhere to enchant the eye and fragrances that are rich enough to make one quite giddy, however many of the blossoms we see are considered undesirable. At this season of the year there are more jobs to do in the garden than most of us have time for so we need to be very selective in what gets done, to be most effective with that valuable time its best to get to the weeds that are on the verge of seeding first thus preventing hundreds of new plants from infesting lawns and gardens. However all is not negative even with the detested Dandelion, excellent wine can be made from the flower heads, the young leaves are great in salads and sandwiches and the ground up dried roots were valued during depression times as a coffee substitute. The deer are still a major problem for local gardeners and the repellent arsenal is almost as numerous as our undesirable monster Bambis. To date the most successful ones seem to be; one part of Ammonia to nine parts water with a little soap and vegetable oil mixed in sprayed on the objects of our affections, repeat spraying after multiple rainfalls and new growth is required; or hanging fresh sheeps wool in knee highs on stakes amongst the flowers; if you use the darker beige ones they rather resemble ladies slipper and from a distance give the impression that a master gardener is in residence. A most effective way of making an overgrown garden look as if it should be a center fold in Canadian Gardening, is to take an edging tool and whistle it around the flower bed taking just enough time to weed a three foot swathe behind the edge. The eye is caught by the clean crisp edge and the fact that there are weeds further back in the area is scarcely noticed, especially if the larger blooming weeds have been disposed of. Having taken a short cut to a good looking plot its wise to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor (just think, if you had harvested those dandelion flowers and made wine last year, you could relax in style!!). 805

I was reading an article on heroes recently that encouraged everyone to look around us for people we can reach out and help without expectation of payment or recognition. Each of us can do a little part to make our community, and by extension the world, a better place. And tho there will be the naysayers around us who will be quick to say that our little bits are drops in the bucket that wont ultimately make a difference, it is my philosophy that every bucket is filled one water droplet at a time. During work days I generally take a half hour walk at lunchtime. Usually with one or two co-workers, but if our schedules dont mesh it may be just me. The route goes down Main Street, past the high school around and over the hump-back railroad bridge and back to the office. About a half hour (thats some 4000 steps if youre counting, and I am). Before I left today, a co-worker had someone in the parking lot looking under the hood of her car as it had quit on her just as she arrived at work. Whether family member, friend or professional, that was someone going out of their way to assist . . . a drop in the bucket, but I am sure a rainbow in the eyes of the person with the car problem. As I crossed the road in front of the office (in my long dress and big sneakers, classy huh?), I noticed a dead bird just on the white line ahead of me. Or so I thought. As I got closer, the bird started to kick it legs and I realized it was injured but not dead. It managed to flip over and was moving out into the traffic lane. I redirected it away from the road, but it was very persistent in wanting to go that way, not toward the roadside. I managed to prevail (but if I spoke the language I am sure I was told!) and it went under the guardrail and down a small bank into the grass. Hopefully it was merely stunned and is now cruising the skies, but if not, at least it was not left to bake on the side of the road, but spend its last time in the cool grass. When I returned to the office I googled it and confirmed it was a Northern Flicker, a beautiful woodpecker. My own little rescue. Neither of these events will bring world peace or end poverty or cure cancer. So what. They bring a little ray of sunshine into the world, a positive moment, and who knows perhaps that flicker will someday be the subject of an award winning photo that would not have occurred if not for my intervention today. All of us can do a little bit. If you cant feed a hundred people, then feed just one. ~ Mother Teresa. 801
