Riverview Veterans & Armed Forces Association

is Focused on Veterans and Outreach

T

he Riverview Veterans & Armed Forces Association, says President David Bayerle, is dedicated to veterans; “we are all about finding information that benefits Vets and that Vets are interested in.

“Most of that relates to family, health, wellbeing, the things we can sometimes take for granted.

Sometimes when we struggle in life, we can lose sight of getting help for ourselves. We look for opportunities to give that outreach to help Veterans and their families make those connections to each other and to resources.

“We have also developed a program which is geared to helping veterans and their families

when veterans are in the hospital. Sometimes even something simple, like the fact that parking at a hospital can be expensive, can be difficult for veterans, so we try to offset the cost of that. We help transport our veterans to appointments.

We have a good group of people that are within arms reach to provide that support.”

Bayerle says the association helps connects Vets with a range of resources for support. “Guitars for Vets is a great program.

I have used it myself. It is geared to help with PTSD. There is so much value. As the saying goes, music soothes the Continued on page 3

We provide that service in the chapel to pay our respects to the fallen.

“After that ceremony, the veterans gather here at the Coverdale Centre.

The Fire Hall puts on a fantastic dinner for us.

“From the fourth to the seventh of November we do school visits to all the schools in Riverview. Plus, we have been engaged by Forest Glen school in Moncton. We share the importance of the Act of Remembrance.

Bayerle says that while over time the organization has evolved; “we try to keep the core traditions alive.”

Membership stands at a little more than sixty, with ten new members added in the last six months. The association conducts periodic open houses, tying into events like Maple Fest and Harvest Fest. The open houses help with community and veteran outreach and fundraising.

“We are a very small non-profit” says . “We receive an honorarium from the town but for everything else we need to fundraise.”

He notes that “Every year of course we lose some veterans. We do our best to honour those folks. We try to look to the future, while also respecting the important roles those veterans had in life, and what they gave to their country and their families.”

“Every opportunity we have to open this space to the public is a chance to let more people know we are here. When people visit for the first time they have the same response – that they had no idea this exists. Once they see it, everyone thinks it is really great; it helps reinforce what is important about what we do.”

BOOK VIEWS - BY CATH COLLETTE

LIfe at the Time of the First World War, and Contemporary Parenting

T

he book War and Turpentine by Stefan Hertmans shows life around the time of World War I, in Belgium. The nonfiction, The 3 Ms of Fearless Digital Parenting

by Carrie Rogers-Whitehead shows some of the current struggles of parents.

The author of War and Turpentine, Stefan Hertmans, is a famous Flemish poet. He writes this ‘fiction’ in a way that crosses the lines into biography and autobiography. In the story Hertman reads his grandfather’s notebooks.

The author’s grandfather, Urbain, grew up a “penniless ragamuffin” as his father did. Store owner’s rushed him out of their stores.

Urbain became careful with his appearance; “With his head erect, his black boots polished to perfection….”

At age 13 Urbain leaves school to work in a foundry. It is his job to “tip the heavy crucible” of molten iron into each worker’s ladle. “The heat cuts off his breath; it’s as if his eyes are melting in their sockets.”

The wooden clogs he wears crack from the heat.

As a child, Urbain watches his father paint frescoes for a religious order.

Urbain’s father goes to England for work. He misses his father so much that he starts to paint, but his father warns him against a life of painting which is a life of poverty.

Urbain chooses to be a soldier to support himself.

When he keeps notebooks later in life, he writes, “Now

I shall write only about the war… not to glorify it.

So help me God. Only my experiences. My horror.”

When World War I descended, he saw the difference between the Belgium army and the Germans.

“They had weaponry that … we had never seen before … (such as) machine guns.”

Urbain describes the war, especially during the major Battle of Yser in 1914; “… the squalid life in the trenches killing rats … and roasting them over a fire … the cries of wounded comrades, fumbling with rolls of barbed wire in the mud as your hands bleed, the rattle of machine-gun fire, the bursting of shrapnel shells, and the interruptions of soil and torn-up limbs.”

He was wounded twice.

He crept around a German camp to sketch the locations of their trenches.

Because of such heroics, he was shot once in the groin and another time in the back.

For the first injury he was sent to a hospital in Liverpool, England to recover. Urbain sought out the mural his father had painted there years before. When Urbain found the mural; “It was undeniable: the boy (in the mural) reaching out his hand affectionately to the saint had my own face.”

During his second placement for recovery, he and the other wounded were listening to music in the sun and could hear the remote thundering of guns at the front. “To think this light, bright heaven is built

on the sounds of the hell in the distance….”

Tear gas, then mustard gas is used in the war.

There was no medicine or ointment available in their troop to ease the victims and lessen their screams.

After the war he is a disabled veteran at 45-yearsold. “ … Something had broken inside him.” He received shock treatments five times.

Urbain got a job in the Belgian Railway workshops and then as a lowly copyist of others paintings. “The tranquility of his final years made it possible for him to overcome his traumas.”

The author learned from his grandfather’s notebooks how deeply painting was “etched” into his being and “the strong bonds of friendship” Urbain had with his fellow soldiers.

The 3 Ms of Fearless Digital Parenting: Proven Tool to Help You Raise Smart and Savvy Online Kids is by Carrie Rogers-Whitehead. This much needed nonfiction teaches a view of the digital world that is so balanced that you may not always agree with her or the other experts.

Rogers-Whitehead states that despite the fear-provoking headlines in the media, the internet is just one more factor in family life. The suggestions given are built on child development research and science, not fear.

The 3 Ms stand for Model technology for children ages 0 to 8; Manage tech-

nology with children ages 8 to 13; and Monitor technology with teens ages 13 to 18. Technology habits can be established along with other routines such as good hygiene and healthy eating.

With media literacy the digital footprint that an eighteen-year-old has established over the years will have more positives than negatives. Potential employers and college admissions staff use google too.

Young children need parents to Model technology use. Technology expert, Linda Stone, says there is a parenting style that she calls “continuous partial attention.”

When infants babble, the parent says “uh, huh” as they scroll through their phones. Chronic inattention from parents can have lasting and hurtful effects.

A parent that gives the child attention one day and not the next day causes confusion as well.

The World Health Organization says a 0 to 18-month-old should have no screen time. Ages 2 to 5 should only have one hour of screen time per day. To model good tech behaviour parents could ask themselves such questions as; when and where will I be device-free in our home?

Elementary-school-age children need parents to help them Manage their technology devices. Show young ones that computers are for reading and writing.

Kids could learn some computer terms so they can

communicate when they happen upon an inappropriate pop-up or site. As you play a game with your child, you could use correct terms and say, “This icon gives a command to the computer.”

Children that are ages 8 to 13 years could see their family’s values reinforced through use of technology.

For example; “We are a family that use computers and television as tools for learning, communication, and healthy recreation.”

This goal would include not using cell phones as a self-soothing device for children. Device use is for after homework, physical activity, and not before bedtime. It is frustrating for parents, but “… self-regulation is a foundational skill that our children must learn.”

The author suggests that you let your kids tell their friends that you are a “mean parent” that will not let them play certain games or go on certain sites. Rogers-Whitehead goes a step further and volunteers to be the “mean one” that gave the advice in her book.

When kids want their own phone, a flip-phone or

text-and-call-only phone could be a place to start.

Your child can show they are responsible and pay toward a future, replacement phone. “Delay smart phone ownership until ages 12-13 or so,” states one expert.

To Monitor 13 to 18 yearolds, the author says to strike a balance between protective parenting and stepping back to observe.

With media literacy at an earlier age or as a teen, your child can use educated judgement to experience both real-life situations and digital spaces that involve some risk.

Anonymous chat apps and discussion boards are places that teens can take a measured risk and discuss topics of interest. Teens must learn to build the confidence to make decisions.

“Let data and facts, not fear, drive our parenting decisions. Express your love and concern for their safety. ” Certainly different facets of life are the focus of War and Turpentine, then The 3 Ms of Digital Parenting.

There is so much to be learned from the books at your public library.

Christmas in the Country to be th th held December 6 and 7 CONTRIBUTED BY BARBARA GEBUHR

T

he 23d annual Christmas in the Country will be held the weekend of Saturday, December 6th and Sunday, December 7th. Started originally as the Fundy Studio Tour, by a small group of talented artists and artisans, it has grown into a special holiday experience that many people consider the kickoff to the festive season.

Groups of friends and family get together to shop, sample treats, marvel at the local talented creators, and find those unique gifts for their family, friends and themselves!

There are approximately thirty stops in Fundy Albert. One can follow Rt. 114, with two possible side trips, to Salem or Dawson Settlement. There are also several vendors along Rt. 915 from RiversideAlbert to Alma. As well as individual stops, there are markets with multiple vendors: the Old Church Farmers Market, and the Legion in Hillsborough, the Recreation Center in Riverside-Albert, and Farmer Brown in Dawson Settlement. The Salem Baptist Church is offering free drinks and squares with a raffle that people can enter at no cost for a gingerbread church, and some articles from Pastor Peter's workshop.

The Riverside Albert Recreation Center will have several meal options: Saturday morning Caledonia Regional High School’s graduate class will serve breakfast, the Albert

Mines Youth Group will serve lunch Saturday, and the Girl Guides will serve lunch on Sunday. Several restaurants are open for the weekend: Tipsy Tails and Muddy Rudder in Alma, The Wave at The Rocks Resort in Edgett’s Landing and Wacky Wonderful Waffles in Hillsborough. And so many vendors with delicious treats to delight any palate!

Something new this year is the opportunity to book a spot, or the whole van, and take a guided tour of Christmas in the Country, with the popular tour company, “Roads to Sea.” You will be driven in style - no worries about parking or watching for traffic hazards – just enjoy the company and relax! (For more information check the Roads to Sea website).

Watch our Facebook page for details on special weekend performances of the new Pointe Taken Ballet group and a brand new Community Choir will perform!

You can find something for everyone on your Christmas list – fine art, crafts, pottery, decorations, antiques and collectibles, woodworking, soaps, sea salt, baking, maple syrup, wine, sweet treats of all description, and a wide variety of dining options. You can even take advantage of special tours at The Rocks Provincial Park, and Fundy National Park. You could easily spend the entire weekend enjoying every venue, including a Bed and Breakfast with Christmas in the Country specials!

There will be an

electronic map of the vendors on Facebook at the Christmas in the Country page. There will be print maps at every vendor, and other locations like gas stations, libraries, and grocery stores, in Fundy Albert, and Riverview.

Look for them in early November. If you have any questions, use the Facebook page for Christmas in the Country, and send us a message. We are pretty prompt with our replies!

PARO Canada's expansion into Atlantic Canada included a presentation at Lucky Rabbit Fine Craft in Riverview.

Prosper Circles Lend Support to

Women Entrepreneurs P

ARO Canada – Women’s Enterprise provides networking, peer support, mentoring, and microloans for women entrepreneurs. The organization began in Ontario thirty years ago and is now expanding into other regions of Canada, including the east coast.

Lucky Rabbit Fine Craft in Riverview, owned by entrepreneur Kayla Dormer, hosted an event on October 14th to introduce PARO to southeastern New

Brunswick. Jeannine Riant, Atlantic Regional Circle Coordinator for PARO based in Nova Scotia, and Business Growth Advisor Tiffany Mirzica, presented on the organization’s history and programs.

The name PARO derives from the Latin for “I Am Ready.”

Says Riant, “PARO is there for women in business. That was the reason it was started, so the peer-to-peer lending, the Prosper Circles, were the main focus in the begin-

ning. Founder and CEO Rosalind Lockyer asked, ‘how do we help women to find connections, support, and community?

How might we help them with micro-funding?’”

Says Riant, “when you talk to Rosalind, she will always say, ‘how do we help the women? How can we help with boots on the ground, how can we help make plans a reality, making our programs accessible to women?’ That is the mandate.”

PARO’s program revolve

around the concept of the Prosper Circle. From four to seven women form a circle of women in business with whom to share information and support.

Riant stresses that the circles are “self-selecting;” women in business find each other and form their own groups. PARO can assist when a woman in business is having difficulty finding a circle; Riant and others in the organization are there to support them in the process.

Prosper Circles meet

regularly; members’ commitment is to a modest $20.00 annual fee and monthly group circle meetings. The circle meetings provide advice and support while allowing women to expand their professional networks.

Prosper Circles also offer the opportunity to access micro-funding opportunities within four varying levels, starting from $1,000.00 up to $5,000.00, with the possibility of non-repayable amounts within these

micro-loans.

Lucky Rabbit Fine Craft owner Dormer says, of her decision to host the PARO event, “this was the first time I heard of PARO, so I took advantage of an opportunity to support a cause that I believe in.

I really believe in what PARO is doing and wanted to offer my space.”

She recounts that she worked for Glass Roots Gallery in Riverview before the store moved to Saint John.

“It was a similar shop, offering goods from local

“I am passionate about quality, Maritime-made products, about supporting our artists here in the region. It was my dream to open a new space to allow artists a space to showcase their works, to be the bridge between artist and customer.”

Adds Riant, “that is exactly what we want to support.

In this case, someone who answers that question, ‘how do we bridge a gap between artists, who may be working alone at home, and potential customers?’”

Says Dormer, “we have some really great women artists who we represent here.”

Dormer identifies how important mentors have been for her. “First and foremost is my mom, who is also a business owner. I grew up watching her run a business, so she was an inspiration for me. I also have a business coach, Sara Phelan of

“The biggest aspect of mentorship for me has been encouragement. It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there and say, ‘I am doing this, now is the time.’

I received that from my family, especially my mom.”

Says Riant, “that ties in directly with what we strive for at PARO. Women need that encouragement, that connection, that support.”

Nicole Porter’s Impact Recognized Through the Molly Kool Award Q&A with

NICOLE PORTER P

BY KRISTEN LAWSON

orter is a Licensed Practical Nurse, Holistic Nurse Coach, Knowledge Keeper, and Mi'kmaq Cultural Coordinator at Amlamgog (Fort Folly First Nation).

Her many projects include providing educational talks, organizing the annual Youth Powwow and starting a regalia library where members have access to ceremonial clothing. Nicole’s contributions have earned her the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal and the 2025 Braiding Knowledge Award.

Nicole's teachings and leadership foster understanding, respect, and reconciliation across communities.

Q: Congratulations! Were you surprised?

Nicole: Thank you! I was surprised. I have only been doing the work of bringing back the culture and going into the schools for eight years. I am still learning.

I have been really guided spiritually to do this.

Q: What kinds of activities do you do in your work as Cultural Coordinator?

Nicole: My role as Fort Folly Cultural Coordinator under Mi'kmaq Child and Family Services was to go out and learn the culture and bring it back to the community.

We had elder Gilbert Sewell come down from Pabineau First Nation, just for the month of July, for almost 25 years before he passed away. After that there was no other landbased learning. No drum groups, no ceremonies.

When I started this,

we started to have more regular ceremonies. The kids have access to this knowledge now 365 days of the year.

Elders reach out to me and ask, “want to learn how to do a moose hunt”?

That is the big one in our community right now because our moose hunters are getting up there in age. It is not just going out and taking the moose's life; it is a more reciprocal relationship. How do we honor the life of that animal? We sacrifice a little something. We offer a song, a prayer.

There are lots of different skills that I have brought back to the community, and many different elders from across Mi'kma'ki.

I have been going out to Eel River Bar every year for their annual medicine gathering workshop, learning how to make plant medicine from an indigenous view.

One that comes to mind right now is mullein. I

make it into tea and within 20 minutes of drinking it my nose is running like a sieve, but within two days my cold symptoms are gone. Then I do not have to go to the pharmacy and use the over-the-counter medicines which can have side effects for the liver and kidneys.

I am a nurse by profession; I am educated in pharmacology. I have been weaving in western and Indigenous medicine.

They both have value, but sometimes when you have all these side effects or allergies going more natural-based can be healthier for you.

Q: Are you going out into other communities as well?

Nicole: I go to daycares, schools and universities.

I do public engagements as well, girl guides, boy scouts, cadets. The Tantramar Seniors College has had me do Indigenous education sessions.

I am Cultural Liaison at Mount Allison University.

We are still figuring out the position. I am pushing for Auntie in Residence to help make sure that Indigenous students' needs are being met culturally

Nicole Porter

and spiritually.

I try to decolonize Mount A’s political system. I want to make sure that the teachers are comfortable teaching this history that has not been taught correctly, because it is through a Western perspective.

Q: Can you elaborate on the role of the elder in Mi'kmaq culture?

Nicole: Our elders are the knowledge keepers in our communities. They have gone into ceremonies; they have practiced the culture. A lot of this knowledge has been lost through colonization. Our ceremonial elders are very scarce, and I am relying on them to help me get back what was lost so that I can continue to teach the younger generations.

Q: Tell me about Mother Muin Artistry. communities as well?

Nicole: Muin is ‘bear’ in Mi’kmaq. I come from Bear Clan. Bear is the keeper of the medicines. The social components of our culture, the bead work, the songs, the dancing, those are all medicine.

I started Mother Muin Artistry to host workshops.

I was talking with kids in the schools, and the parents would run into me in the community and say “You taught my daughter this, or my son mentioned this.

Where am I going to learn about it?”

I use them as an opportunity to talk about the culture, and as a place for people to come and ask questions.

My community

members are picking up these skills too. People reach out wanting to buy Indigenous artwork and support local Indigenous individuals. I will get beadwork from my mom or cousin, then put it in my shop and give them the money. I have built up an inventory, so they do not have to stop and wait for orders to come in the mail.

Q: What are your next projects?

Nicole: Right now, it is focusing on this collaboration that Fort Foley and I have built with Mount Allison. We have just started an Indigenous speaker series with three elders coming and doing presentations. We want to continue building that.

I have this whole fiveyear plan in my head. We

NOVEMBER 2025

are working on an Indigenous studies minor and a major. We are working on how we can bring more of our students there, bringing ceremonies there, making sure we build what we can for them.

Continuing to grow our Youth Powwow, increasing the drumming and the dancing because our kids are really enjoying it. I am trying to build more permanent powwow grounds.

Bringing in more landbased learning and teaching, providing workshops for more of our kids. We have some youth that really want to do archery and bow hunting because their dogs are hunters.

Q: You sound like you have a very positive vision of the future. How do you see the next generation following in your footsteps?

Nicole: When we started eight years ago it was just my niece wanting to dance in the powwow circle. Now our six- and seven-yearolds want to be jingle dress dancers because they have seen her. They want to be

THE RIVER VIEW

fancy shawl dancers and to drum on the big drum.

The conversations from the younger generation are more flowing. Words that were not even in my vocabulary when I was growing up just come naturally.

Q: What prompted your generation to reintroduce the culture?

Nicole: I knew that I was Mi'kmaq, but I did not know what that meant spiritually or culturally. My grandfather and his brother and sisters were sent to English school to protect them from the atrocities going on at Shubenacadie residential school. Their parents’ traditional knowledge was not passed down. Me and my cousins want it back.

A lot of the work that we are doing is to conserve and protect these areas for future generations.

It is building allyships with the non-Indigenous communities. It is making changes and policies that are good for everybody. It is

raising awareness so that people can see that there is more than one way to view the world. There are all these beautiful cultures out there. We all have gifts.

Let us share those gifts and support one another.

The future generations are going to have an easier route to that knowledge. They are going to be able to walk their path without any barriers because we have done the hard work. They can grow up to be happier, healthier.

Their lights have been pushed down because of the inequalities within our communities. But now they are going to have that connection. We are going to have allies that are going to help support these children on their journeys no matter where they take them.

THE RIVER VIEW

Remembering Service Members Past and Present

BY KRISTEN LAWSON

T

he tradition of honouring veterans on November 11 began over a century ago at the close of WWI. Every year the Riverview Veterans & Armed Forces Association organizes a Remembrance Day memorial service at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, across from the Cenotaph in Caseley Park.

This Tuesday veterans will march into the church alongside fire and police personnel, as well as local cadets, guides and scouts. Louise Fife, an active community member and the spouse of a former serviceman, will lead the non-denominational service.

Anyone who wants to honour a loved one during the ceremony can pre-arrange to place a memorial cross by donating to the Veterans Association. The honourees' names will be read aloud, then the families can place their cross at the front of the church.

Following the ceremony, veterans and their families are invited to a dinner reception organized by the Riverview Firefighters to thank them for their service.

Karen Thompson, Riverview’s Community Engagement Manager, shared her thoughts on

why it is important to continue honouring our veterans 106 years after the tradition started: “Everything about being Canadian is all because of those who served. Thinking about and appreciating the country we live in because of the sacrifices that have been made; Remembrance Day will be forever. It is hard not to leave [the service] feeling that appreciation and that pride when they march in.”

Many residents prefer to remember in their own way on November 11, holding a moment of silence at the Cenotaph and covering the monument with poppies. For the first time this year, visitors can enter Caseley Park via the Town’s memorial crosswalk.

The Town created the installation in collaboration with the Veterans Association to stand as a year-long reminder of those who have served.

Mayor Andrew LeBlanc and veterans Bill Hanson and Herb Brand made the first official crossing on October 18.

LeBlanc told The River View “Remembrance of the service and sacrifice of our veterans is something that extends beyond just one day a year. We thought this was a meaningful way to express our gratitude and

appreciation for all that our veterans have done for our community, our country, and internationally.”

Using Music to Support the Community S

everal years ago, while wintering in Florida, Brian and Sandi Lane developed an idea to host musical events to raise money for charitable causes. By 2023, they had brought the idea home.

The Lanes host musical events that include a variety of popular songs, karaoke style, with words to the songs appearing on a big screen TV, to encourage attendees to sing along. They do a mix of classic rock, country and love songs.

Brian, who is the Sales Manager for The River View, recalls that the couple decided on this type of fundraiser “out of our love of music. I am a drummer from way back, and we thought ‘well, we can sing.’”

Adds Sandi, “it started as a way to bring people together in our building (Brian and Sandi live at 40 Weldon Street in Moncton).

Local resident Wayne Harrigan suggested ‘does anyone have any ideas for something we can do?’ to bring everybody back together after COVID. “We needed to know how many people were going to come, so we came up with the idea of tickets and minimum donations and

looked for charities to which we could donate the funds.”

Local businesses donate draw prizes, adding another layer of attraction for attendees.

Says Brian, “we have done a total of nine fundraising shows,

including two in Hillsborough raising money for a children’s playground there. We plan a major one in the spring for the Albert County Museum. They tell us we will have one hundred people in attendance!”

Sandi notes, “we

have several wonderful helpers. Someone is always there to help with technical support, tickets and draws, and attendees usually bring sandwiches, treats or desserts to share during the show. Occasionally we include local guest

singers.

The Lanes pay for all their own equipment and any travel expenses out of their own pockets, so that all proceeds go to local charities.

Other organizations that have benefited include Karing Kitchen

in Moncton, P.R.O. Kids in Riverview, and Crossroads for Women, which provides shelter for women and children across the Greater Moncton area.

Crossroads for Women Executive Director Renée Charron says her

Light Up Riverview: A Decade of Illumination

By Kristen Lawson

T

his year marks the 10th annual Light Up Riverview celebration. Each year thousands of visitors bask in the festive glow of tensof-thousands of Christmas lights illuminating the Riverfront Trail.

The event began in 2016 as a way to brighten the dark winter nights, spark joy in the community, and keep people active throughout the season. Trail walks have become an annual tradition for residents, their holiday guests, and visitors from the other side of the Petitcodiac.

“We have people who live outside of town who come to the light launch every year. It is one of the biggest things that influence people to cross the bridge” said Riverview’s Communications Manager Ashly Barron The kilometer-long display will shine from November 20, 2025, to January 4, 2026, starting with the Mayor’s Light Launch at 7 p.m. sharp. The public will be invited to vote on the style and colour scheme for this year's tree, and kids can bring their letters to Santa for direct delivery to the North Pole.

Atlantic Ballet's Musical Theatre Youth will sing traditional carols and Flea Market Underground will animate the Riverfront

Gazebo while Mayor LeBlanc ignites the lights.

Nearby businesses are also joining in on the launch celebration–revelers can enjoy holiday themed drinks at Buddha Bear Coffee Roasters and meet both Santa and the Grinch at Janet’s Bake Shop.

Group trail walks are planned, offering a great opportunity for residents looking to meet new people or find a walking companion.

Holiday Hoopla Weekend is also returning this year from December 5-7, with open houses at town facilities offering events like free swims and free skates.

The Merry & Bright Challenge aims to add even more brilliance across Riverview by encouraging businesses to put up their own seasonal décor. Participants have a chance to win the sweet holiday break draw for locally made treats delivered to their door.

Light Up is already the largest light display in Atlantic Canada and continues to grow every year.

The glittering lights and festive celebrations really do lift our spirits during the cold winter months.

Vintage Fashion Shows Make for Unique Fundraisers

L

inda Fullterton has developed a unique fundraiser for community organizations: fashion shows using exclusively vintage clothing.

“We lived in Hillsborough in a house that was probably built by one of the original Steeves settlers. It is a big old house with a big old attic, which had become the repository

house in Hillsborough and found a long, covered rack where I found clothes that belonged to my Aunt Hazie, who was a Steeves descendant and who owned the house before she asked us to move in with her.

“I washed them all by hand, rather than having them dry cleaned, and ironed them, and they were beautiful. Most of

Back in 2013 when my mother was in a nursing home, the activities director asked me if I could help her to do a fashion show. I thought about all the things that have been passed down to me and thought I could likely find everything I needed myself.

for the things the family does not use anymore.

“Back in 2013 when my mother was in a nursing home, the activities director asked me if I could help her to do a fashion show. I thought about all the things that have been passed down to me and thought I could likely find everything I needed myself.

“I had a Great-Aunt Marie who had an only daughter who lived in California. She said, after her mum passed away in Hillsborough, ‘do what you would like with mum’s things.’ There were beautiful clothes from the 1920s to the 1960s. I went to the

these clothes that had been saved were dressier clothes. That provided what I needed for the first one in 2013.”

Fullerton recalls that once she started offering these vintage fashion shows, people would ask her if she could do one for their organization as well.

“I started doing them for non-profit organizations as fundraisers. Now, because of weather and time constraints, I only do two a year, one in the spring and one in the fall.”

She says it takes five weeks or more to prepare each show. “You have to find models who fit the

clothes. I ask the organizations if they can help find the models for me.

They come to my house and find clothes that fit.

Many of the outfits were worn by young ladies and have twenty-five or twenty-six inch waists.

“When I get an outfit often there are no accessories included, so I go through all our old things and find hats, gloves, purses, jewellery and even furs to complete the total look.

“Sometimes clothes

will need repairs, and that takes time too.” She charges a nominal fee to cover her expenses, with all other proceeds going to the charitable organization.

The COVID-19 pandemic paused Fullerton’s shows for two years, but she is back into her bi-annual routine again. She says she finds the clothing functions as a kind of social history; even something as seemingly mundane as zippers can help her place clothing in its era.

“Plastic zippers started to come in the 1960s.

Aunt Hazie had a shelf full of hats, and people have given me hats; I match up the hat with the outfit. If it is a 1940s outfit, it has a 1940s hat.”

The spring show in 2026 will be held at Parkland Retirement Home in Riverview in May. “It is time consuming, but it is fun too. I get a lot of compliments from people who go to the shows.”

The New Brunswick Railway Museum Full Steam Ahead!

CONTRIBUTED BY DON COLEMAN

N

ow that the 2025 summer tourism season has concluded, the New Brunswick Railway Museum reflects on a successful season.

The New Brunswick Railway Museum (since 1982) in Hillsborough, NB, Canada is a registered charitable organization that hosts a cornucopia of artifacts, antiquities, memorabilia and unique rail-based gems. For more than 40 years people from far and wide have visited this destination, which boasts five buildings that house a vast collection.

The museum grounds feature many types of train cars that include the only double-ended snowplow left in Canada, early

diesel locomotives, several velocipedes, a century-old steam locomotive, passenger coaches, cabooses, model trains, and many more. Several of these historically significant trains are accessible, allowing guests to experience this bygone era.

The beautiful Second World War era railway station has a gift shop that boasts wearables and unique wares. The museum continues to focus on many other improvements that will continue to enhance this truly remarkable place.

An updated and reimagined customer experience has resulted in record growth over the past few years, keeping more tourists in the area and complementing the already

outstanding Albert County tourism sector. The railway is an annual source of summer employment income for local students and is a designated “local historical place” that showcases its association with the area’s rich mining heritage that goes back to the mid-1800s.

The board of directors are determined to grow the Railway into a Provincial must-stop tourism destination, which will provide jobs, economic growth to the region, and a source of pride to the residents.

For the 2026 summer season, the museum will be open seven days a week from mid-June to Labour Day. A fabulous experience for people of all ages. Get ready for a memorable journey. All aboard!

East Coast Legend Jim Blewett

Celebrates 80th Birthday

with a Musical Celebration at the Holy Whale CONTRIBUTED BY TIM ISAAC

I

conic and beloved New Brunswick musician Jim Blewett is turning 80 this year, and fans will have a chance to celebrate with

him in style. A special birthday concert will take place on Thursday November 20, from 8:30–10:30 p.m. at The Holy Whale BrewPub in Riverview.

The evening promises to be unforgettable,

filled with surprises, great music, and heartfelt tributes to one of the region’s most influential and wellloved performers.

Joining Jim on stage will be his long-time musical partner Tim

Isaac, along with friends Chris Mersereau, Sara Liptay, and Ian Duncan.

The night will open at 8:00 p.m. with a neotraditional set by Ian Duncan performing as Lupin. As an added treat, the Moncton duo Bouhala—featuring Chris Mersereau and Ayoub Serhani—will bring their unique blend of Moroccan and Acadian sounds to the stage.

For more than three decades, Jim Blewett

has been a fixture of the East Coast music scene, inspiring a generation of musicians with both his artistry and his back-to-the-land lifestyle. With seven albums to his credit— two with Isaac, Blewett & Cooper, and five with Isaac & Blewett— he has performed on festival and theatre stages across Atlantic Canada, earning ECMA nominations and a Maple Blues Award

along the way.

Beyond his musical achievements, Jim is celebrated for his “cool cat” charm, spontaneous storytelling, and his easy-going encouragement to “just relax and be ourselves.”

This special evening is both a birthday celebration and a musical homecoming—a chance for friends, fans, and fellow artists to show their love for one of New Brunswick’s true originals.

A Time of Remembrance and Thankfulness E

ach Remembrance Day, beginning at 7 a.m., the Albert County Museum and the Albert County Historical Society host a Sunrise Ceremony at the museum, near the First Worlds War guns.

Albert County Historical Society President Dawne McLean provides a reminiscence of the ceremony at which this photograph was taken, in 2021: “The ceremony began with singing of O Canada! As the sun started peeping over the horizon, the flag was slowly lowered to half mast, as the poem "In Flanders Fields" was recited, then followed by The Act of Remembrance. During the Minute of Silence, there was complete silence, until there was a swish of birds' wings as they flew overhead, and then silence once

It was a reverent time of remembrance and thankfulness.

These sunrise ceremonies have been growing in numbers each year. In the beginning, Museum Directors and local community residents first gathered, but now at the sunrise ceremonies residents from surrounding communities attend, as well as those serving in the forces.

It is a simple, yet respectful ceremony that allows those attending to honour and show personal respect to those whom we must never forget.

Following the short ceremony, there is a time to gather in the hall to socialize and have a coffee and muffin. In the afternoon 1pm-4pm the Museum is open by donation for people to visit the WWI County of Heroes in the Exhibition Building.”

“You Even Come to the Away Games!”

S

imon Binkley, the Moncton Wildcats Left Wing who is from Fairbanks, Alaska, recalls that his first experience living away from home with a billet family came last year, via two billets associated with his old team and now with Jens and Brenda Jensen of Riverview for the duration of his time with the Wildcats.

“It has been great. We have long days at the rink, and it is really nice to come to a home, to have people to talk to. It is really nice for people to open their homes to let us have a place to stay.”

Says Jens, “with smart phones, the players can keep in touch with their families at home easily, and they do. They keep in close touch.”

The Jensens also host Goaltender Rudy Guimond, from Montreal.

He has billeted before, having played High School hockey in Connecticut and Junior hockey in Iowa. He says, “I couldn’t be more grateful for who we have as a billet family.”

Simon and Rudy share the view that this year’s iteration of the Wildcats has every opportunity to take another run at the Gilles-Courteau Trophy (which they won last season as the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions) and the Memorial Cup, the Canadian Hockey League championship.

Says Rudy, “we are just starting to come together. We are focused on the Memorial Cup, and we are starting to gel. We are confident we are going to get there.”

Adds Simon, “we are figuring things out. As a group we are getting closer, and that will translate to the ice. We just have to trust each other and trust the process, and we have a great chance to get to Kelowna.”

The Kelowna Rockets will host the Memorial Cup in 2026.

You could say Brenda and Jens are veterans of the billeting experience – this is their sixth year.

Recalls Brenda, “our names were submitted.

The team sent someone to interview us and let us know what was expected.

That afternoon, we had our first billeting player.

It was fast!”

Adds Jens, “this was near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, things were slowing down, our house was open, and we said, ‘this is great, bring it on.’”

Brenda recounts that over the six years they have been participating in the Wildcats billet families program, “we have had great kids. We just love it.

Very rarely we have only one player with us, usually it is more; we have had up to four and during training camp up to five.

“It keeps us busy, but it is fun.”

Jens say, “they eat well, all home-cooked meals, and take lunches to the rink with them.

“And then there are their families. We have met their parents, which has been wonderful. We travelled to Quebec to see some of these games last year. We met families in Quebec, it was wonderful.”

The Rimouski Oceanic hosted the Memorial Cup

tournament, in which the Wildcats participated as the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Champions, in the spring of 2025.

“When they can, the Wildcats organize bus trips for the fans and the billet families. We follow the players as much as we can. When there was not a bus, we took our car, and we went. The boys were quite surprised; they were warming up, and they came up to glass and saw us standing there.

It has been great. We have long days at the rink, and it is really nice to come to a home, to have people to talk to. It is really nice for people to open their homes to let us have a place to stay.

‘Wow,’ they said. ‘This is awesome. You even come to the away games.’”

Says Brenda, “my own children are grown up.

These young men are very well mannered and

very respectful. We enjoy having them.

“And we always keep in touch, through Facebook and texts and calls. We keep in touch with the parents too, and you end

up with friends for life.

“Plus, my grandson plays hockey, and he thinks it is awesome that Nanny has players living at her house! He thinks these guys are the cat’s meow.”

SMALL STEPS, BIG CHANGES How Moving More Can Help You Feel Better All Around

W

hen people decide they want to feel healthier, it is common to want to change everything at once; start exercising, eat better, drink more water, cut back on sweets. But trying to do it all can feel overwhelming, and that’s often where people give up before they even get started.

What I have seen over and over again in my clients is that one small change often leads to another. You do not have to tackle everything at once.

When you begin to move your body regularly, other healthy habits often start to fall into place naturally.

I am not a food expert (exercise is really my area of expertise), but I can tell you what I notice. Once people start exercising a few times a week, whether it is walking, yoga, or gentle strength training, they often find themselves making better food choices without even trying.

They drink more water, eat more balanced meals, and do not crave as many snacks late at night. It is like their body starts to ask for the things that help it feel good.

And it works the other way, too. When you eat foods that give you steady energy, such as fruits, vegetables, and proteins, your workouts or walks feel easier. You have more energy, less stiffness, and you recover more quickly.

You do not need to get

everything “perfect.” In fact, perfection is what stops most people from ever starting. The real key is to begin somewhere simple and let the process unfold naturally. Go for a short walk, stretch a little each morning, or try a gentle class.

Once you start moving, you will often find that motivation and better choices follow behind you.

Healthy habits tend to create a ripple effect, one small step can lead to another, and before you know it, you are feeling stronger, more energetic, and more confident in your body again.

Healthy habits tend to create a ripple effect, one small step can lead to another, and before you know it, you are feeling stronger, more energetic, and more confident in your body again.

So do not wait until everything lines up perfectly. Just start where you are, move in a way that feels right for you, and let the rest build from there.

S

alisbury Mayor Robert Campbell says that losing his community’s only grocery store, Walker’s Your Independent Grocer, to a fire on September 28th was a devastating blow but that individuals, organizations, and businesses have pitched in to assist.

“There has been a multitude of people who have offered to

drive people to get their groceries, or to deliver groceries to seniors.

Companies have stepped up to bring in additional stock that they would not normally carry. Foodland in Petitcodiac offered free delivery to people’s homes in Salisbury.

“Loblaws (the parent company of the Independent Grocer network) has stepped up

organizations, to companies, all helping out.”

Campbell notes that Across the community and the in a small community surrounding area, people have like Salisbury and its environs, grocery stores stepped up to help. serve as the village square. “They are gathto provide bus rides into get groceries, Urban and ering places. If someone the city for groceries.

be on the grocery store’s bulletin board.

“The Lions Club invited workers who lost their jobs to their community breakfast.

They recognized that the grocery stores workers were likely missing their customers, and that social interaction.

“That’s part of what makes it great to live in a small town.”
