RAVINGS
By Mike Hickey
What could be one of the worst nightmares that a guy could ever experience?? You get into a boxing match with the missus and she cleans your clock. Yes you heard right!! Now mind you it 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 to translate your body movements and put it all on the TV is truly remarkable. So ... hiding the embarrassment of my boxing defeat, we moved on to table tennis. Once upon a time I was a fairly experienced table tennis player, but that experience failed me as I went down to further defeat and humiliation. But, with my never say die personality, I went about practicing my table tennis with renewed vigour. I moved up from beginner to amateur to professional and from there demanded a rematch with the missus. 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?? Effective practice isnt so much about simply doing or playing, it is also about learning and adapting. For instance, one of the things that I have learned is to never challenge the missus to a game until I have achieved some real level of skill at it or even better, find a sneaky way to win without skill. I am thinking that if I can convince Xbox to get a better handle on reality, the missus should be way too short to ever give me a head shot. Another thing I havent tried, is to see what would happen if I kick her real good. Against the rules, who knows but could be worth a try. Alternatively, I could adopt a more mature attitude towards losing. You know, Its not whether you win or lose but how you play the game. I could do that you know, but somehow it just doesnt seem as appealing as trying to kick her butt. 800

Making green changes to the way you care for your vehicle extends beyond the type of fuel you use or keeping your tires properly inflated. Modifications to the way you care for the interior can mean the difference between eco-friendly and not. Many times detailing the interior of a vehicle requires a lot of strong chemicals. But it doesn't have to. Keep up with mess. If you clean as items become soiled, you won't have to rely on harsh chemicals to remove set-in stains. Replace carpeted mats for rubberized ones. Choose recycled rubber mats, which will require a hose-down instead of shampooing with strong carpet cleaners. Invest in a quality shop vacuum or high-powered vacuum. Routinely vacuum the interior of the vehicle to prevent ground-in dirt. Buy seat covers. Instead of using harsh chemicals to clean upholstery, removable seat covers may be able to be washed in a washing machine and cleaned with eco-friendly detergents. Stock up on dusting cloths. Static-charged dusting cloths can be used to collect dust and debris from the dashboard and instrument panel. This reduces the need for spray dusting products. Replace interior air filters. Most new vehicles have an air filtration system for the interior of the vehicle. Clogged filters can proliferate contaminants inside the cabin of the car. Frequently change the filters to ensure cleaner interior air quality. Leather interior fixer. You don't need expensive or harsh products to condition leather interior. To clean leather seats, for example, use a small drop of eco-friendly dish liquid worked into a damp rag. Use a damp, clean rag to collect any remaining moisture and soap residue. Buff with a dry cloth. Apply a miniscule amount of olive oil to a cloth and work it into the leather to condition it. 14 www.ossekeag.ca

Travel Tips to Help Road Trippers Hit the Ground Running

Perhaps no other time of year is more anticipated than spring. After a cold winter, many people await the arrival of spring like a child awaits the arrival of Christmas morning. Among the more popular annual rites of spring is the road trip. A chance to tackle the great outdoors with the spring wind in your hair, spring road trips have come to define a season beloved by outdoor enthusiasts. For those planning their own road trip this season, consider the following tips to ensure yours goes off without a hitch. Give your car a thorough wash. While it might seem obvious to get your car washed once spring arrives, few might be aware that a thorough car wash pays practical as well as aesthetic dividends. Over the course of a typical winter, vehicles are exposed to all sorts of harmful elements, including salt used to improve icy road conditions and slush and grime leftover over from winter snowstorms. These elements can create deposits that make it difficult for a car to run smoothly, resulting in poor fuel efficiency and possibly harming the vehicle even further. Don't forget the first aid kit, but pack it last. Road trips, especially those with active kids along for the ride, often include a few cuts or scrapes. That's why it's always wise to take inventory of the first aid kit before heading out on the road. Make sure the first aid kit is fully stocked since the last time you hit the road. In case of a legitimate emergency, you will want the first aid kit readily available and won't want to waste time digging it out from under everything else in the trunk of the car. Give a passenger a spare set of car keys. No one plans on losing their car keys; it just happens from time to time. At home, this can be a nuisance. On a road trip, particularly one to a remote area, this can be a disaster. While you don't have to plan on losing your keys, you can plan on what you'll do if you lose them by making a spare set for a passenger along for the trip. That way, if your travels take you on a hike in some isolated woodlands or to soak up some rays at the beach, you'll have a spare set of keys readily available should yours end up missing.

Restoring Your Property After a Long Winter
One of the best things about the dawn of spring and the return of warmer weather is the chance to get out of the house and get some fresh air. For homeowners, this is the perfect opportunity to assess any damage the previous months did to yards and develop a plan restore properties. Don't jump the gun. The first warm day of spring might seem like a great time get out in the yard and get your hands dirty. But it's best to wait until the grass has completely dried out before getting to work. Raking on wet grass increases the risk of tearing out grass, which can cause bald spots and the growth of weeds down the road. In addition, stepping on the grass while the ground is still wet can compact the soil, which can slow drainage and block the lawn's roots from breathing. Aerate, particularly if the yard is a heavy traffic area once the warm weather arrives. If your yard transforms into a child's wonderland upon the arrival of spring and summer, you might want to revive the soil by aerating. When the yard gets heavy usage, it's easy for soil to become compacted, which makes it hard for air and water to reach the lawn's roots. That can eventually make for a less-than-appealing lawn. So if your yard is the place to be come the warmer months, aerate in the spring to loosen the soil and make it easier for the lawn to withstand the months ahead.

Remove debris that's piled up. Debris has a tendency to infest a yard over the course of the winter months. Fallen branches, stones and even trash can accumulate in a yard, putting those who spend time in the yard at risk of injury once the warm weather returns. For instance, bits of twigs and pebbles that are blown across the yard during a windy winter can be embedded in the yard, making the yard less of a haven and more of a hazard. Once the grass is dry enough to walk on, walk around the property and remove any debris that's piled up over the last few months. Employ a pre-emergent weed killer. Homeowners who routinely spend their summers agonizing over weeds throughout the yard should consider applying a pre-emergent weed killer around the beginning of spring. It's important to do so around the end of March or early April, when the weeds have not yet had a chance to grow. When applying, follow the dosage instructions provided by the product's manufacturer. Such instructions often recommend a second application right before summer begins. Remove thatch. Once the grass has dried, you can begin to remove thatch that's built up over the winter. Thatch is potentially very harmful to soil, blocking sunlight, air and moisture the soil needs to ensure a lawn looks lush and healthy. Thatch removal does not necessarily need to be an annual task. If thatch buildup is insignificant, then it can be done every other year. Just use a dethatching rake to make the job much easier. No matter how harsh the winter months might have been, spring is a great time for homeowners to restore the property around their homes.

Hon. Rob Moore, P.C, M.P. Since it is now tax time, I want to remind you of some of the ways you may be able to save on your 2011 taxes. Since 2006, our government has helped Canadians by reducing taxes in over 120 ways. These include: cuts to the GST, reductions in income taxes, the introduction of the landmark Tax-Free Savings Account and targeted tax cuts for families, seniors and job creators. We have helped a typical Canadian family save nearly $3,100 on average, per year. This year, I want you to get the most out of your 2011 tax return. In this article, you will find a list of some of the valuable tax credits that are available. Our government has introduced Pension Income Splitting, which allows any Canadian resident who receives qualifying pension income to allocate to their spouse up to one half of their income. We have also doubled the Pension Income Credit from $1000 to $2000. We have increased the Age Amount to help seniors keep more money to meet their retirement needs. Also, we are providing Canadians with the Caregiver Amount for Canadians that are caring for a loved one. This responsibility is both emotionally and financially difficult and under our government, a caregiver may be eligible to claim up to $4,282. Our government is providing many other tax credits including; the Canada Child Tax Credit that allows Canadian families to claim a tax credit of over $2000 per child, the Childrens Fitness Tax Credit, which allows parents to claim a tax credit on up to $500 and the Child Arts Tax Credit which allows parents to claim up to $500 as well. You may also be eligible to take advantage of the Volunteer Firefighters Tax Credit which amounts to $3,000, or the Hiring Credit for Small Business that provides up to $1,000. We believe that Canadian families know how to best save, invest or spend their money; not government, which is why we will continue to promote an environment where Canadians keep more of their hard earned money. We will continue to support Canadian seniors, Canadian families and Canadian employers.

By the Sussex 2012 Relay for Life Committee We relay, we care, we have been touched, and we want to Join the Fight against cancer. The reasons to relay are varied, and the 2012 Sussex Relay for Life committee once again has come together to spearhead one of the greatest Relay for Life events today. Along with the great teams and our supportive community, our hope is to see cancer beaten. Here are quotes of Why we Relay from some of our committee members. When you believe in something, it is important to stand behind it and work towards making a difference, this is why I relay. I believe in what the Cancer Society is doing, and the goal they are trying to reach. Over the last four years I have lost a family member, a mentor, and a close friend. I walk the track in their memory; I walk because I believe in the cause. Brenda Keith Media Coordinator. I relay for myself and for all those that are fighting the fight of their life. I relay so someday no one has to hear or say the word cancer. I relay because I know that there is a cure out there we just need to find what works, and by our team joining arms with all you, we will fight this fight and we will win. I relay so that the money is available for research, prevention, advocacy, and assistance to those that need it. Carolyn Dalling Team Recruitment. I relay because I have been cancer free for over 25 years and its my way of giving back. Pam Kaye - Corporate Supporter Coordinator. I relay because I know too many people who have fought or lost their battle with cancer. It is in their honor that I will Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back at this years Canadian Cancer Societys Relay for Life! Randi McKnight Co-chair. I relay for myself as a survivor and for my family. I relay for all my friends who are survivors and for their families. I relay for anyone who has been touched by cancer in any way. I dont think there is any person who does not at least know of someone who either has been diagnosed or else they have lost someone to cancer. And I know in my heart that if we all keep working together, we will make a difference. Debbie Chaddock Team Recruitment. I relay in honor of a dear friend and to show support for those still fighting and who have lost their battle. I relay because we need to find a cure for cancer! Natasha Munford Luminary Coordinator. Join in the fight with us June 15th at Princess Louise Park and lets kick cancer to the curb. 334

MUSINGS
By Debbie Hickey
Our birthday is fast approaching. As I mentioned last issue, on April 6th the Hampton Herald will be thirty years old. Coming up in October the Valley Viewer reaches another milestone, turning twenty. While thirty is only one year more than twentynine, for some reason the round numbers always seem to hold more authority! And are generally deemed more worthy of celebration. So we here at Ossekeag have been contemplating how to best celebrate these anniversaries. If this were a thirtieth wedding anniversary it would traditionally be celebrated with pearls. Well, I have no pearls to hand out, not even pearls of wisdom. What I do have is a request. To mark these special dates we propose to publish our top tips for building better communities. That is after all what Ossekeag Publishing is all about. We solicit your editorial on all of the great things happening in the communities we serve and at no charge to you to submit, or to you to receive, we share that information with everyone in the community. For our anniversary we want to take this one step further. It is our hope to publish tips on simple things we can do to help build better communities, whether it is donating to the food bank, picking up litter when we are walking or reading to kindergarten students at the local school. We encourage you to send in your ideas and tips for us to compile and share. And more . . . look around your community and take note of those people who are role models for building better communities and tell us about them. The person who continues to coach minor hockey long after their own kids have grown and moved on. The person who is always first to step forward to help a family in need. The student who organizes food drives. April is also Volunteer Month, so what a great time to acknowledge the people in our communities who do so much to make our place in the world so amazing. To inspire each of us: Wherever a man turns he can find someone who needs him. ~Albert Schweitzer . . . and . . . If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito. ~Betty Reese. 801
