BOXINGWhat could be one of the worst nightmares that a guy could everexperience?? You get into a boxing match with the missus andshe cleans your clock. Yes you heard right!! Now mind youit was only on a TV screen using our new video game system,but still it was pretty painful!! No not my body, just my ego.Now these games are not perfect (obviously) but their ability totranslate your body movements and put it all on the TV is truly remarkable.So ... hiding the embarrassment of my boxing defeat, we movedon to table tennis. Once upon a time I was a fairly experiencedtable tennis player, but that experience failed me as I wentdown to further defeat and humiliation. But, with my neversay die personality, I went about practicing my table tenniswith renewed vigour. I moved up from beginner to amateur

to professional and from there demanded a rematch with themissus. Victory!!!!! Not even close, I won each game!!!Just as in life, success usually takes a lot of practice. But success

isnt just doing the same things over and over again. To truly develop new skills you have to experiment and try new ideas.What happens when I do this and if I change this what happens??E ective practice isnt so much about simply doing or playing, itis also about learning and adapting.

For instance, one of the things that I have learned is to neverchallenge the missus to a game until I have achieved some reallevel of skill at it or even better, nd a sneaky way to win withoutskill. I am thinking that if I can convince Xbox to get a betterhandle on reality, the missus should be way too short to evergive me a head shot. Another thing I havent tried, is to see whatwould happen if I kick her real good.Against the rules, who knows but couldbe worth a try.

Alternatively, I could adopt a moremature attitude towards losing. Youknow, Its not whether you win or losebut how you play the game. I coulddo that you know, but somehow it justdoesnt seem as appealing as trying tokick her butt. 800

PUTTING THE FUN IN FUNDRAISINRachelle Benoit is one of the youngest volunteers to lead a team for the 2012 GrandBay-West eld Relay for Life. e Grade vestudent at West eld Elementary School iscaptain of Family Fun, so named because allof the team members are related in one way or another and when they get together, itsalways fun! Like so many others, Rachellewanted to become involved in Relay for Life

in honour of her grandfather. My Grampy died from cancer before my sister and I wereborn. I dont want other kids to grow upwithout their Grampy, she said. By raisingmoney for Relay for Life, Rachelle feels sheis contributing to nding a cure for cancer.

Rachelle is excited about the theme of this years Grand Bay-West eld Relay for Life Wild Wild West. Her family ownshorses and shes been riding since she was a little girl. Her out t forthe Relay on June 8 th is already picked out, but she admits that shestill hasnt decided whether she will wear her cowboy boots or herriding boots. As team captain, Rachelle has already begun makingplans to raise money for Relay for Life. ere will be a 50/50 draw,yard sale and bake sale. I am also doing a change drive - collecting

not only pennies, but all the change in your pocket, she said witha giggle.Relay for Life is not Rachelles rst fundraising experience. On

her 10th birthday, she asked for donations for the Animal RescueLeague in lieu of birthday presents. Her parents, Heather andMichael Benoit, said she was thrilled to present the proceeds to theorganization. You could see by the look on her face that this madeher feel like a million bucks, Heather said. We are so proud of herand she de nitely has the fundraising bug.

Every spring, homeowners head outside to takestock of how the winter treated their lawn.

Homeowners in areas that experience heavy snowor rainfall each winter likely do not look forward tothis inventory, fearful of what another harsh winterdid to their property. Fallen tree branches, frozenground and winter wind storms can do a number oneven the most well-manicured lawns, turning asummertime labor of love into a nightmare.

While homeowners might not be able to do anythingabout the weather, there are ways to revitalize alawn each spring. And you don't have to be anaccomplished landscaper to handle the task. The

following tips can help bring your luscious lawnback to life, helping make winter a distant memory.

Revitalize Your Lawn Aftera Long Winter

Remove all debris from your yard. Debrisincludes any trash in the yard, wood, large roots,fallen branches, and even stones. The presenceof trash such as broken glass or even fadedpaper products such as cups or bags is not onlyunsafe for the environment, but it can proveharmful to anyone who might be out in the yardonce your grass grows, especially if you havechildren. Oftentimes, winter winds can blow

trash from nearby garbage cans across the yard,no matter how neatly homeowners put out theirtrash.

Consider seeding the lawn if need be. For lawnsthat took a particularly harsh beating over thewinter, consider seeding the lawn to helprevitalize it. When seeding a lawn, be sure youchoose the right seeds. Different regions respond



better to different types of grass. But don't beintimidated if you don't know the correct grass tochoose. Simply ask a landscaper or consult alawn care specialist at a nearby homeimprovement center as to which type of grass isthe best fit your region and your yard.

Smooth the soil. Once all debris been removed,examine the soil for any abnormalities that mightneed to be smoothed out. Use a spade or rake tosmooth any areas that aren't up to par. Next you'llwant to loosen the soil as well, something thatcan be done with a garden rake. Any unsightlyareas, such as humps or ditches, should either besmoothed out or filled in, depending on which isappropriate. This can be done with some soil andshould not prove too costly.

When you're ready to seed, the seed can bescattered by hand for smaller yards, or with adrop spreader for larger lawns. When spreadingwith a drop spreader, use the suggested amountof seed on the bag (even a little less seed shoulddo the trick) and make sure you spread out therows evenly in the same direction. Once you'vesowed the first part of your lawn in one direction,you can crisscross back over that part at a90-degree angle, making sure you keep equaldistance and calibrate your spreader at the samespeed.

Add mulch for aesthetic and practical appeal.Moist helps the soil, and can also add aestheticappeal to a lawn. Moist helps the soil by allowingit to retain moisture, making it more conducive togrowing healthy grass. When laying mulch down,keep the mulch at roughly a quarter-inch toensure your lawn will grow in nicely.

MUSINGSBy Debbie Hickey

BIRTHDAY PLANSOur birthday is fast approaching. As I mentioned last issue, onApril 6th the Hampton Herald will be thirty years old. Comingup in October the Valley Viewer reaches another milestone,turning twenty. While thirty is only one year more than twenty-nine, for some reason the round numbers always seem tohold more authority! And are generally deemed more worthy of celebration. So we here at Ossekeag have been contemplatinghow to best celebrate these anniversaries.

If this were a thirtieth wedding anniversary it wouldtraditionally be celebrated with pearls. Well, I have no pearlsto hand out, not even pearls of wisdom. What I do have is arequest. To mark these special dates we propose to publish ourtop tips for building better communities. at is a er all whatOssekeag Publishing is all about. We solicit your editorial on

all of the great things happening in the communities we serveand at no charge to you to submit, or to you to receive, we sharethat information with everyone in the community. For ouranniversary we want to take this one step further. It is our hopeto publish tips on simple things we can do to help build bettercommunities, whether it is donating to the food bank, picking uplitter when we are walking or reading to kindergarten studentsat the local school.
