The desire to have a

pristine, well-manicured

landscape leads many

homeowners to toil outdoors for

hours every weekend. Hiring aprofessional landscaper can free

up homeowners time and help

them ensure their yards are cared

for properly.

One of the benefits of hiring

a landscaper is the time savings.

Landscapers typically have com-

mercial-grade equipment that can

dramatically reduce the time it

takes to mow and perform other

maintenance tasks around your

property. Furthermore, some serv-ices have multiple employees

working concurrently, enabling

them to tackle several projects at

the same time and complete them

in a fraction of the time it would

take a homeowner working on his

or her own.

Landscapers familiar with

botany and landscape design

understand how to properly care

for plants and trees on your prop-

erty, while novice green thumbers

may be unaware about when to

prune trees and shrubs, at what

height to cut the lawn and which

plants will thrive in particular

locations. Such do-it-yourself

maintenance may even cost more

money than leaving it to a profes-

sional.

Hiring a professional land-

scaper is, in many instances, more

economical. For a certain weekly

or monthly fee, homeowners

receive the benefit of professional

knowledge and execution. Also,

homeowners will not have the

expense of purchasing the various

tools and equipment necessary for

lawn and garden maintenance,

tools and equipment that includelawnmowers, string weeders,

edgers, fertilizer, grass seed, leaf

blowers, and shovels.

Another benefit is the lawn

will continue to be mowed

whether a homeowner is home or

not. During the spring and sum-

mer vacation season, its easy for

homeowners to overlook their

lawn and garden in favor of recre-

ation and leisure activities.

Without proper watering andmaintenance, lawns and gardens

can brown or overgrowth can

occur. But hiring a landscaping

service allows homeowners to rest

assured that their yards will be

maintained whether theyre

home or not.

Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation insur-

ance is basically a guar-

antee that depositors will not

lose their funds. If the bank

where they keep their money

fails, the FDIC guarantees

that they will receive the full

amount of those funds, up to

the insurance limit from the

FDICs insurance fund.

The Great Depression

highlighted the need for aninstitution like the FDIC.

During the first 10 months of

1930, after the catastrophic

stock market crash of 1929,

744 banks failed, 10 times the

annual number during the

1920s. By the end of 1933,

over $140 billion in deposits

had been lost to bank failures,

and 11,000 of the 25,000

largest banks had failed. This

severe crisis prompted aresponse from the Roosevelt

Administration, which passed

the Glass-Steagall Act of

1933. The act established and

funded the FDIC. The initial

limit on deposit insurance was

set at $2,500 in 1934, and was

raised to $5,000 in 1935.

Today the limit is $250,000

and may change in the future

in an effort to increase con-

sumer confidence in the bank-ing system.

The FDIC was given the

first real test of its abilities

during the savings and loan

crisis of the 1980s. Although

the brunt of the crisis fell

upon the Federal Savings and

Loan Insurance Corporation,

the pressure was too great, and

the FSLIC became insolvent

and was merged into the

FDIC. Between 1980 and1994, the FDIC helped to

close over 1,600 banks that

had been affected by the crisis.

Fortunately, the FDIC sur-

vived and helped mitigate the

worst effects, although the cri-

sis still cost taxpayers an esti-

mated $150 billion.

The FDIC works in tan-

dem with other government

agencies to protect the cus-

tomers of other financial insti-tutions, such as credit unions.

The National Credit Union

Administration, or NCUA, is

the independent federal

agency that charters and

supervises federal credit

unions. The NCUA and

FDIC together insure billions

of dollars of deposits at thou-

sands of financial institutions

throughout the United States.

Just like how the FDICinsures bank deposits in the

event of a bank failure, SIPC

insures investment accounts

in the event of a failure. In the

case with the Securities

Investor Protection Corpora-

tion, accounts are insured up

to $500,000 per account. This

includes $250,000 in cash.When a brokerage is closed

due to a bankruptcy or other

reason and investors securi-

ties are missing, the SIPC

steps in to return these assets.

Customers of a failed

brokerage firm get back all

securities (such as stocks and

bonds) that already are regis-

tered in their name or are in

the process of being registered.

After this first step, the firmsremaining customer assets are

Womans Way Fit-

ness Center inWayne is celebrat-

ing its 30th anniversary with

an open house. Stop by

between April 8-13 to check

out this beautiful, clean, fun

and friendly fitness club.

Youre even invited to take a

free class during your visit.

Womans Way is a fun

and social fitness club that

feels exclusive while being

inclusive. The owner, RachelVasquez, and her wonderful

staff created this 8,500 square-

foot facility with the mission

to offer a professional, friendly

atmosphere for women to

enjoy.

Many women dont feel

comfortable working out in

the presence of men for per-

sonal or religious reasons.

Here at Womans Way, they

feel at home in this cozy andclean environment.

The studio boasts brand-

new, state-of-the-art cardio

equipment, and fitness classes

are what it does best. There

are over 55 classes a week,

including TRX, spinning with

bands and Corebar.

This women only facil-

ity gives you a chance to get

fit and have fun in a non-

intimidating atmosphere.Many members have experi-

enced sudden weight loss,

increased energy, body toning

and revived spirit.

They also offer facials

and massages to members and

non-members.

Womans Way is located in the

second floor of the Gurland

Pavilion, 1479 Route 23 South

in Wayne. For moreinformation, please call

973-305-1003 or visit

womanswayfitnesscenter.net.

then divided on a pro rata

basis with funds shared in pro-

portion to the size of claims. If

sufficient funds are not avail-

able in the firms customeraccounts to satisfy claims

within these limits, the

reserve funds of SIPC are used

to supplement the distribu-

tion, up to a ceiling of

$500,000 per customer,

including a maximum of

$250,000 for cash claims.

Additional funds may be

available to satisfy the remain-

der of customer claims after

the cost of liquidating the bro-kerage firm is taken into

account.

The SIPC covers losses

due only to a brokerage fail-

ure, or other unscrupulous

activity. SIPC does not

insure losses that occur as a

part of regular market fluctu-

ation. Many people believe

that SIPC will protect them

from losing all of their money

on a bad investment, but thisisnt true.

SIPC also does not cover

losses in the event a company

you invest in goes bankrupt. If

you invest $50,000 in XYC

Corp. and they file for bank-

ruptcy, leaving your shares

worthless, SIPC has nothing

to do with these losses. SIPCwill protect your assets only if

the brokerage or fund compa-

ny you hold your assets with

goes bankrupt.

Not all investments are

protected by SIPC. In general,

SIPC covers stocks, bonds,

mutual funds, notes, other

investment company shares,

and other registered securities.

It does not cover instruments

such as unregistered invest-ment contracts, unregistered

limited partnerships, fixed

annuity contracts, currency,

and interests in gold, silver, or

other commodity futures con-

tracts or commodity options.

Also, some brokerages

will offer an FDIC insured

money market account for

your cash that is sitting idle in

your account. This means you

could technically have bothFDIC insured cash and SIPC-

insured investments in the

same account. Of course, this

will vary depending on your

broker and where your cash

position is invested, so be sure

to find out how your money is

treated.

The New Jersey Life andHealth Insurance Guaranty

Association was created by

the New Jersey legislature in

1992 (with an effective date of

Jan. 1, 1991) to protect state

residents who are policy hold-

ers and beneficiaries of poli-

cies issued by an insolvent

insurance company, up to

specified limits. All insurance

companies (with limited

exceptions) licensed to writelife and health insurance or

annuities in New Jersey are

required, as a condition of

doing business in the state, to

be members of the guaranty

association. If a member com-

pany becomes insolvent,

money to continue coverage

and to pay claims is obtained

through assessments of the

guaranty associations other

To those who feel a

vacation isnt com-

plete unless the fami-

ly pet comes along, youre

not alone. The U.S. TravelAssociation says that 49 per-

cent of Americans feel the

pet is just another member of

the family and 18 percent of

U.S. travelers plan to take

their pets along the next

time they travel. Canada,

Australia, New Zealand and

the United States have soft-

ened laws regarding interna-

tional travel with a compan-

ion animal. With the PetPassport Scheme, or PETS,

individuals may travel freely

with their pets to member

countries on approved carri-

ers. Some procedures include

certification of rabies vacci-

nation and the animals

microchip or tattoo number.

Car trips are common

forms of travel with a com-

panion animal in tow. While

many pets are easygoing,there are some who are unac-

customed to traveling with

company. All 50 states, the

District of Columbia and

Puerto Rico have life and

health insurance guaranty

associations. Life and healthinsurance guaranty associa-

tions cover individual policy-

holders and their beneficiar-

ies; typically, persons protect-

ed by certificates of insurance

issued under policies of group

life or group health insurance

are also covered. Limits on

benefits and coverage are

established by state law. If

your insurance company fails,

the maximum amount of pro-tection provided by the New

Jersey guaranty associat ion,

for each type of policy, no

matter how many of that type

of policy you bought from your

company (with respect to any

one insured individual) is list-

ed below.

Life Insurance Death

Benefit: $500,000

Life Insurance Cash

Surrender: $100,000Annuity Benefits (Cash

Surrender Value):

$100,000

Annuity Benefits

(Present Value): $500,000

Health Insurance Claims:

No limit

The guaranty associa-

tion is a private entity, withits membership made up of all

the life and health insurers

licensed in the state. (In fact,

under state law, an insurer

must be a member of the asso-

ciation to be licensed to do

business.) The association

was created by the legislature

to serve as a safety net (sub-

ject to statutory limits) for

residents should their life or

health insurer fail. By creat-ing the association, the legis-

lature was able to ensure con-

tinued coverage to residents

affected by their insurers fail-

ure. The association does

work in cooperation with the

Insurance Depart-ment in

fulfilling its role of protecting

residents whose insurance

company is being liquidated.

Long-term-care insurance is

typically considered healthinsurance and covered by the

guaranty association as well.

Insurance and guaran-

tees are for your savings dol-

lars while risk-based capital

looks for greater returns with-

out a safety net. Re-member

these safety facts when allo-

cating your portfolio. Shouldyou require any help or guid-

ance, feel free to contact me

Hiring a local landscap-

ing service will not only bene-

fit homeowners, but also it will

benefit the local economy.

Residents can feel comfortable

knowing their lawn service

will be available for calls whenneeded and will be familiar

with the community. Also,

local contractors may go the

extra mile to earn your busi-

ness recommendation.

Hiring a landscaping

service can be advantageous to

homeowners who want to free

up time and still enjoy a well-

maintained landscape.

Edging a lawn is a spring-

time rite of passage for

many homeowners.

When winter has come and

gone, many lawns are left in

need of some serious mainte-

nance, including edging.

Well-defined edges around

the yard make the yard look

more organized and better

maintained. And edging is rel-

atively easy, especially for

those homeowners with a

smaller yard. Edging can be

time-consuming for those

with more property, but when

done properly, edging is defi-

nitely worth the effort.

Remove debris from the

areas you plan to edge. Before

you even begin to edge, be

sure to remove any debris from

those areas that need edging.

Debris, including rocks, twigs

or the kids toys, left lying

around can be kicked up when

youre edging, potentially

causing injury to you or some-

one standing nearby.

Purchase safety goggles.

Even if you have removed all

visible debris, there still may

be some items hidden in the

grass. These items can be

kicked up and hit you in the

eye, so purchase some safety

goggles and be sure to wear

them whenever youre edging.

As an added precaution, keep

kids and others away from any

areas youre edging so they

arent injured by any unseen

debris that gets kicked up

while youre working.

Check your tools. Edging

can be done by using a gas-

powered edger or a string trim-

mer. Before you begin to edge,

inspect these tools to ensure

theyre capable of handling

the task at hand. Inspect the

blades on a gas-powered edger

to make sure they havent

dulled since their most recent

use. If they are dull, sharpen

them before you start to edge.

When using a string trimmer,make sure you have enough

string on hand to complete

the project. String trimmers

use a particular kind of string,

so visit your local lawn care or

hardware store if you dont

feel like you have enough.

Position your edger properly.

Once you have given your

tools the green light, its time

to start edging. When you

begin, make sure the edger is

between the sidewalk or

driveway and the edge of thelawn, placing the wheel of the

edger on the sidewalk or

driveway and then pushing

and pulling the edger until

you have created a clear edge.

If you have never edged

before, you may want to prac-

tice on smaller, more isolated

areas until you become com-

fortable operating the edger.

As you calculate your

estimated federal

tax for 2013, be sure

to take into account two new

surtaxes: the net investment

income tax and the addition-

al Medicare tax. Heres how

to tell if theyll affect you and

what you can do to blunt

some of the impact.

Net investment income

tax. This 3.8 percent tax

applies when you have

investment income such as

dividends, interest and capi-

tal gains, and your modified

adjusted gross income

(MAGI) exceeds $250,000

(for married filing jointly).

When youre single, the

MAGI threshold is

$200,000.

Mitigating the impact.

Some types of income are not

considered when computing

your investment income for

purposes of this tax. One

example is tax-exempt inter-

est. Depending on your over-

all investment goals, pur-

chasing municipal bonds may

be an option to consider.

Retirement plan distri-

butions, including with-

drawals from your IRA, are

not counted as investment

income when figuring the

tax, either. However, taking

money from your accounts

does increase your MAGI.

Income from passive

activities such as rental real

estate is generally subject to

the new tax. Depreciation

deductions and a one-time

What to watch out for.

Your employer is required to

If youve recently whitened

your teeth, drinking red

wine may be the worst sub-

stance you can consume even

worse than coffee.

The findings from a

research team in Sao Paolo,

Brazil were published in the

February issue of Acta

Odontologica Scandinavica.

The group explored the stain-

ing that resulted from red wine

and coffee before and after

teeth whitening treatments.

The study found that dur-

ing remineralization of the

enamel a rebuilding process

during which teeth repair

themselves the saliva and

bleaching agent thwart any

possible staining of the enamel.

But after the treatment was fin-

ished, the red wine and coffee

stained the enamel. The stains

from the red wine were conclu-

sively worse.

If youve whitened your

teeth but cant resist that glass

of wine or that cup of coffee,

heres a tip: try drinking

through a straw so the liquid

passes by your front teeth!

their owners and may even

balk at riding along.

Acclimating and protecting

your pet for travel will

require a little patience and

some pointers.

Secure the pet

Just as you would buckle

up when entering the car, so

should you buckle up a pet. It

is important to ensure the

animal is not a moving target

around the car should an

accident occur. Not only

could you risk injury to the

pet, but you also risk injury

to yourself if the animal

becomes a projectile.

Even if an accident does

not occur, a jittery pet, or

one who is content to jump

from back seat into the front,

could prove a distraction

while driving. He or she

could also bump into the gear

shift or get stuck under the

gas or brake pedal. It is much

better to keep the pet

secured.

Pets may travel in

a well-ventilated carrier.

Larger dogs may need to be

belted into the car with a

special dog harness. There

are also barrier screens and

gates that can be installed,

typically in SUVs, to restrict

the pet.

Acclimation

Some pets just do not

enjoy being placed in a carri-

er or riding in a car. They

may need some coaxing and

practice to become comfort-

able if a trip is planned. The

ASPCA suggests getting the

pet used to a longer trip by

taking a series of short trips

first over the course of a few

days or weeks. With each

trip, gradually increase time

spent in the car.

It may help to bring

along a pet toy or blanket

that is soothing to the ani-

mal, so he or she associates

the car with a safe place, just

like home.

Even after several

attempts to acclimate your

pet to the idea of a car trip,

the animal may still not be

happy about the idea. Talk to

a veterinarian about other

Many of us feel that

our pets are mem-

bers of the family.

More and more families are

recycling, using eco-friendly

products and are earth-con-

scious so shouldnt your

pet be greener too? There are

plenty of opportunities to cut

down on waste and to raise

your pets quality of life with

minimal effort. Our pets give

us so much joy and they can-

not contribute on their own,

so its our job as their owners

to help lighten their carbon

footprint.

Spring cleaning

Empty out that Tupper-

ware full of pet stuff. Call

your local shelters and ask if

they need old towels, bed-

ding, leashes, litter boxes, pet

toys, etc. This is a good way

to recycle and to help other,

less fortunate dogs and cats.

Clean up after your pet

Leaving pet waste out-

side is an environmental and

health hazard. Pet waste is

known to get into water sys-

tems due to improper dispos-

al. You should pick up your

dogs waste and dispose of it

in the trash or a compost

heap. There are mini doggie

septic systems that can help

keep your lawn free of poop

and break down the waste

into a liquid the ground can

absorb. Dont forget to scoop

the poop with biodegradable

bags instead of plastic bags

from the grocery store. For

cats, consider organic, plant-

based kitty litter or litter

from recycled newspapers.

Friendly cleaners

When giving a regular

bath, try to use organic or

natural products that dont

have a chemical base. The

same goes for your stain- and

odor-removers for the house

if your pet makes a mess. Use

vinegar; its an environmen-

tally friendly liquid that is an

effective odor-remover and

can kill mold and bacteria.

However, it must still be

diluted correctly with water.

Spay or neuter

Spaying and neuter-

ing pets is an important

way to keep your pet

healthy and to avoid

more homeless dogs and

cats on the streets.

Spaying and neutering

also helps pets live

longer by reducing the

risk of several types of can-

cers, as well as prostate dis-

ease.

Tag or microchip your pet

Placing a microchip may

not sound eco-friendly, but

with this ounce of preven-

tion, you can avoid not only

the stress of losing a pet, but

a lot of waste, too. This waste

includes paper from printing

out missing pet posters, and

fuel by driving around your

neighborhood trying to find

your missing pet. Ask your

local veterinarian for more

information.

Adopt instead of buying

There are many thou-

sands of puppies and kittens

born in the U.S. every day.

Controlling the pet popula-

tion is always green. So why

not adopt instead of buying a

pet? Visit your local shelter

and you can save money

while saving a life.

Safety tips

Although many pet own-

ers are aware of certain dos

and donts when it comes to

traveling with a pet, many still

engage in behavior that could

be dangerous to the animal.

One of the common

offenses is letting the pet ride

with his or her head outside of

the window. While this may

seem like heaven to the dog or

cat, this puts the pet at risk of

being injured by flying

objects, including debris in

the eyes. It can also increase

the risk of the animal falling

out of the moving vehicle.

Another mistake many people

make is leaving the pet inside

of a car even for a short

duration of time. The ASPCA

warns that even with the win-

dows open, a parked car can

rapidly heat up and heatstroke

can occur. A similar thing

takes place in the winter with

the car getting much too cold.

If you anticipate having to

make stops, be sure to go

where you can take the pet

out and along with you.

Comfort and care

An animal out of his or

her environment or element

could become skittish. Try to

keep a pets feeding schedule

as close to normal as possible.

This will minimize the

chances of discomfort or even

digestive aggravation. Bring

along bottled water or tap

water from home because

drinking water from an unfa-

miliar area could result in

unwanted digestive distress,

which could prove uncomfort-

able for pet and owner alike.

As an added precaution, you

may want to invest in rubber-

ized floor liners and water-

proof seat covers, says the

ASPCA. This helps if the ani-

mal gets carsick or has an acci-

dent. Removable seat covers

can also prove advantageous

for collecting fur and keeping

the interior of the car less

messy than need be.

Identification

It is important to always

carry proper identification for

your pet, as well as documen-

tation of vaccinations. For

those who have not yet micro-

chipped their companion ani-

mal, now may be the time to

do so. The microchip is a very

small device implanted under

the skin of the pet, usually by

the scruff of the neck. It will

transmit contact information

when a specialized transmitter

is waved over the microchip.

Theres also the old-

fashioned method of having

your dog or cat collared with

an ID tag. Using this in con-

junction with a leash and

harness will help reduce the

chances of losing your pet

while on the road.

Spring is a season for

rebirth and for home-

owners that often means

bringing their property back to

life. Once the winter weather

has subsided, its time to head

outside and take inventory of

the landscape and see how the

yard, trees, bushes, and shrubs

fared after another long winter.

One of the best and most

eco-friendly ways to bring your

yard back to life is to plant

around the property. When

planting around the home this

spring, consider the following

pointers from Gro-Rite Garden

Center.

Consider container-grown

plants. Novice green-thumbers

might find it best to go with

container-grown plants. Con-

tainer-grown plants are easy to

plant around the property, and

its also easy to change the look

of the property by simply mov-

ing the plants around. Also, as

the seasons change, its easy to

reposition the plants so theyre

still getting the sun exposure

they need to thrive.

Get a second opinion.

Planting trees around the prop-

erty can be akin to hanging a

painting on the wall. Its always

best to get a second opinion to

make sure the painting is

straight, and the same goes

with planting trees. Before

backfilling the hole, ask some-

one to look at the tree from

several angles to ensure that it

is straight. Once the tree has

been backfilled, its awfully dif-

ficult to reposition the tree.

Give the trees or plants their

best chance to grow. Its

important to survey the prop-

erty ahead of planting to be

certain the plants will be in

the best place to thrive. Call

the utility company and ask if

there are any buried utility

lines youll want to avoid.

Also, a trees roots spread far

beyond its branches, so be sure

to plant the tree in a location

that allows for that root

growth without jeopardizing

the property (i.e., roots

spreading beneath the homes

foundation).

The term high school

means different things

in different places. In

the United States, high

school generally refers to

grades 9 to 12. In Canada,

each province and territory

has its own education system,

so secondary schools vary

with regards to grade levels.

In other areas of the world,

high school may encompass

the equivalent to grades 6

through 12 in the United

States. The phrase high

school owes its origins to

Scotland, where the worlds

oldest secondary school,

Edinburghs Royal High

School, was established in

1505. It is believed this school

served as a model for the first

public high school in the

United States, the English

High School, which was

founded in Boston in 1821.

Today, there are many high

schools across the world. In

terms of enrollment, high

schools in the New York City

area boast the highest enroll-

ment, according to the site

H i g h S c h o o l G u i d e . o r g .

Brooklyn Technical High

School in Brooklyn, NY, with

a 2011 enrollment of 8,076

students, is the largest high

school in America, followed

by Fort Hamilton High

School, also located in

Brooklyn, with 7,805 stu-

dents. Tottenville High

School in Staten Island, NY,

boasts the third-largest stu-

dent body with 7,770.

The spring sports sea-

son is a popular time

for school-aged chil-

dren. After a few months of

being cooped up indoors,

many kids are ready to spend

time in the fresh air.

Organized team sports are one

way they can burn energy and

learn lessons in camaraderie

and problem-solving.

Spring sports season

presents a host of opportuni-

ties for athletic youngsters.

But the secret to a successful

season has little to do with

wins and losses and a lot to do

with making sure children

have fun and take the neces-

sary precautions to reduce

their risk of injury on the

playing field.

According to the Na-

tional Institute of Arthritis

and Musculoskeletal and Skin

Diseases, nearly 40 million

children and adolescents par-

ticipate in organized sports

across North America each

year. Although sports are an

ideal way to socialize and get

much-needed exercise, they

also can increase participants

risk of suffering a sports-relat-

ed injury. The Centers for

Disease Control and Preven-

tion state that millions of

children age 15 and under are

treated in hospital emergency

rooms for sports-related

injuries every year. Some of

the more common injuries

include sprains and strains,

growth plate injuries, repeti-

tive motion injuries, and

heat-related illness.

Certain sports go hand-

in-hand with the spring sea-

son. Here is a look at some

popular spring sports and how

to reduce a childs risk of suf-

fering some of the more com-

mon injuries associated with

those sports.

Baseball/Softball

The start of the spring

season coincides with the

commencement of the profes-

sional baseball season. There-

fore, many schools and towns

have baseball and softball

leagues that also begin once

the weather warms up.

Baseball and softball are pop-

ular sports. However, each

sport involves sliding, run-

ning, fast-moving balls, and

long hours out in the ele-

ments. Each of these activi-

ties can cause injury, and

some of the more common

injuries associated with base-

ball and softball include soft

tissue strains, fractures after

being hit by a ball, sunburn

and heat fatigue.

Children who are play-

ing baseball or softball should

always wear the recommend-

ed safety equipment. This

includes a batting helmet,

shin guards, athletic support-

ers, sunscreen, mouth guards,

and eye protection. Proper

stretching and warm-ups can

make muscles and tendons

limber before play.

Soccer

Soccer has long been a

popular sport around the

world, and interest in the

sport has grown considerably

in the United States. Soccer

is ideal for developing hand-

eye coordination. The con-

stant running involved also

makes it one of the best springsports for kids in terms of

overall exercise.

Due to the constant

movement involved with soc-

cer, players should regularly

Gardening is a reward-

ing hobby that manyenthusiasts credit

with helping them to peace-

fully escape from the hustle

and bustle of everyday life.

Though gardening can be

both relaxing and rewarding,

its not as easy as it may seem,

and the more time and effort

a person devotes to his or her

garden the more likely it is tobe successful.

Gardening can be a little

daunting for beginners who

have little or no experience

planting flowers or vegeta-

bles. But gardening need not

be so intimidating, especially

for those beginners who

adhere to the following tips

aimed at helping novice gar-deners start their gardens off

on the right foot.

Determine what you should

plant. Where you live will go

a long way toward determin-

ing what you should plant.

While you can plant anything

you can get your hands

on, the United States De-

partment of Agriculture aswell as Agriculture and Agri-

Food Canada have deter-

mined specific plant hardi-

ness zones that indicate

which plants are most likely

to thrive in given locations.

Maps of these zones can be

found at www.usda.gov and

www.agr.gc.ca. By adher-

ing to the maps, garden-

ers can significantly

increase their chances of

growing successful gar-

dens. When in doubt

about what to plant,

consult a local garden-

ing center or seek

advice from a profes-

sional landscaper.

Think location when begin-

ning your garden. Beginnerswith large yards have the lux-

ury of choosing the right loca-

tion on their properties to

start planting. When choosing

a spot, consider how much

sunlight a location gets on a

daily basis and the spots prox-

imity to a water supply. If

planting flowers, try to

avoid planting in areas

with heavy foot traffic

so the flowers are lesslikely to be

stomped. If

youre plant-

ing flowers

to accent

w alkw ays ,

then con-

sider

erecting

a barrier

around the

flower bed to safeguard theflowers from foot traffic.

Get started before you plant.

Preparing the soil a few weeks

before you start planting can

help the plants thrive down

the road. Add some organic

material, such as compost or

fertilizer, to the soil roughly

three weeks before planting.

This helps the soil retain

water and nutrients, which

will help your garden thrive.Time your planting. When

you plant is sometimes as

important as what you plant.

Some climates allow for year-

round planting, but many do

not. When buying seeds, the

packaging might suggest what

time of year to plant the seeds.

Adhere to these suggestions or

your garden might not growmuch at all. In addition, keep

in mind that many seedlings

need significant light through-

out the day in order to grow,

so choose a time of year with

ample daylight.

Dont forget to

mulch. Mulch

can be as aes-

thetically

appealing

as it iseffective.

Mulch

retains

soil, help-

ing roots to

grow stronger,

while deter-

ring bugs and

prevent ing

weed growth.

And many garden-

ers find mulch adds visualappeal their garden, and does

so in a very inexpensive way.

Clean your tools. Beginners

rarely recognize the importance

of cleaning gardening tools

before putting them away. At

the end of each gardening ses-

sion, clean your tools thorough-

ly, as soil left on your garden

tools can play host to potential-

ly harmful microbes that might

kill your plants.Gardening can be a labor-

intensive yet gratifying hobby.

By sticking to a few simple

rules, beginners can develop a

thriving garden to reward all of

that hard work.

rehydrate. Shin guards can

prevent injuries andbruising to the legs,

while wearing sun-

screen will protect

kids from sun expo-

sure.

Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a

game that marries ele-

ments of basketball,

football and hockey.

Players throw and

catch a small, hard,rubber ball with a net-

ted stick, called a

Crosse.

Lacrosse is a con-

tact sport; therefore,

protective gear is

essential to prevent

injury. Players must wear hel-

mets, typically with a safety

grill over the face for boys. A

mouthpiece, gloves and

padding can be worn to fur-ther prevent injuries.

Track and Field

Some athletes excel in

track and field. Although less

combative than other sports

discussed and with little or no

risk of contact-related injury,

there are still some dangers

inherent to track and field.Strains and sprains from falls

or rolling ankles are common.

Safety precautions for

track and field competitors

revolve heavily aroundthe athletes condi-

tioning. Allow for

ample warm-up peri-

ods and make sure ath-

letes always wear sup-

portive footwear.

Players should always

consume a good deal of

water or other fluids to

remain hydrated, and

take sufficient breaks

when the weather iswarm.

Spring sports are

popular for children of

all ages. When the

weather warms, the

desire to get out on

the field and engage in

play increases. Adults can

safeguard their children by

ensuring the rules of the

game are met and that the

proper safety equipment isalways used.
